听力原文： So, if there are no more questions about the facilities at student services or any of the special activities we have talked about, then we can move on to the next topic.
The last topic is health insurance. You will be required to have a health insurance policy of some sort at registration. If you are a scholarship student, you probably have automatic coverage established. If you are paying for your own tuition, you can still get insurance through the school. The forms to buy insurance from the school will be available at the registration desk when you register. If you have any questions about the benefits available, you can look at the back of the student handbook. In general, the school usually offers a good insurance policy compared to private companies so you should take a look. If you are receiving financial aid, you should contact your financial aid counselor to see if you can also receive insurance coverage.
If there are no other questions, that will do it for today .The best advice is to follow your student handbook and things should go smoothly. Remember, if there are any problems, you can ask me or any of the other student helpers. We will be under the sign that says "registrar's" at the registration area.
What is the speaker' s job？
A．The president of the university.
B．A registrar.
C．The head of the class.
D．A student.

听力原文： At an early age, little girls' conversation is less definite and expresses more doubts, while little boys use conversation to establish status with their listeners.
These differences continue into adult life. In public conversations, men talk more and interrupt other speakers more. In private conversations, men and women speak in equal amounts, although they say things in a different style. For women, private talking is a way to establish and test intimacy. For men, private talking is a way to explore the power structure of a relationship.
Teaching is one job where the differences between men's and women's ways of talking show. When a man teaches a woman, he wants to show that he has more knowledge, and hence more power in conversation. He uses his language to show this. When a woman teaches another woman, however, she is more likely to take a sharing approach and to encourage her student to join in.
But it doesn't suggest that women are naturally more helpful. Actually, women feel they achieve power by being able to help others.
(17)
A．Boys tend to speak more than girls.
B．Girls are more expressive than boys.
C．Girls care more about their listeners.
D．Boys show more certainty about things than girls.

听力原文：An almost 100-year-old English textbook might be the earliest such book published
听力原文： An almost 100-year-old English textbook might be the earliest such book published in China, its owner, Mr. Wang, told reporters last week in Beijing.
The 440-page textbook, entitled "English with Chinese Phonetics", was possibly published in 1904 or before, predating another early textbook, "English Words at Entrance Level", which was thought to be the earliest English textbook in China.
Though almost a century old, with pages yellow with age, the various letter types listed in the book are still clearly recognizable, displaying the high standard of print quality at that time. As the title of the book suggests, the textbook uses Chinese characters to provide phonetic equivalent for English words, thus constituting a major drawback of this early school tutorial work, since there was no such a thing as standardized Mandarin at that time, the phonetics were arranged in line with the so-called "orthodox" Cantonese, resulting in misleading and what today seems a quite funny effect. Nevertheless, the book has been hailed as a "revolutionary guidebook inventing creative study methods for those ambitious people doing foreign businesses".
The book was acquired by its present owner, Mr. Wang, quite by chance. In 1992, when he was living in Papua New Guinea, an old local Chinese, originally from Guangdong Province presented him the book as a gift.

听力原文：W: Doctor White, we recently learned that a large piece of the Larsen lee shelf in Western Antarctica broke off in early January. Could you please tell us exactly what happened？
M: I'd be happy to. The piece that broke off was over a thousand square miles in area. More recently and quite alarming to scientists is that a forty-mile crack, some 30 feet wide in places has torn through the ice shelf.
W: I understand that the scientific community is quite concerned. What is the significance of these events？
M: Well, some scientists believe that this is a clear sign of global warming. Back in 1978, some American researchers predicted that Antarctica would show early signs of global warming due to the green house effect.
W: But couldn't crumbling ice shelves also be a result of the unusual weather Antarctica itself has experienced lately？
M: That's certainly possible, but you'll have to remember that over the past thousands of years, ice shelves have been through a lot of weather changes without breaking up.
W: I think most people know that if the ice cap over Antarctica melts, the level of the oceans will rise. What sort of impact will this have？
M: Well, the ice shelves currently insulate the Antarctic continent from wind, which slows down the melting. If the winds cause even a tenth of the continent's ice to melt, the world's oceans could rise as much as 30 feet.
What are the speakers mainly discussing？
A．An experiment in Antarctica.
B．Part of the Larsen Ice Shelf broke off.
C．The formation of the Larsen Ice Shelf.
D．An expedition in Antarctica.
