听力原文: Man: My secretary tells me that you'd like to know something about mechanical engineering. What I can do is give you some idea of the variety of specialties within the field.
Woman: I'd appreciate that very much.
Man: One of the oldest mechanical engineering areas is machine design. First, we need to know the purpose, of a particular machine, whether it's a crane or a tool or a steam engine. Then, if we know the loads that this machine will carry, we can make the most efficient use of the materials we have.
Woman: I see. Is heating included in this field?
Man: Oh, yes. Heating, refrigeration, and air conditioning rely quite a lot on thermodynamics and theories of heat transfer. The goal is to make the most efficient use of power. This area can be quite involved with mathematics.
Woman: I've heard of the Carnot cycle. Does this concern the mechanical engineer?
Man: Very much so. The whole field of internal combustion engines is based on the principles set out by Carnot. The mechanical engineer deals with two and four-cycle engines, gasoline and diesel engines, gas turbines, and the like.
Woman: Isn't that part of automotive engineering?
Man: Yes. This is one of our largest industries.
Woman: What about the aircraft industry?
Man: Of course. Aeronautical engineering became a very large field with the widespread use of airplanes. Now, with space travel, it promises to grow even larger.
Woman: Well, you've been most helpful, sir.
Man: Not at all. Come in again.

听力原文:Man: And today I'm talking to Angela Morgan. Angela, what made you decide to fly round the world in a helicopter?
Woman: People often ask me why I decided to do it but I'm surprised they don't ask 'Why did you wait so long?' because I'm 57 now! I'm sorry I didn't do it years ago, because it was such a wonderful experience. But the main purpose for going was to collect £500,000 for sick children by getting different companies to pay us money for each kilometre that we flew.
Man: And now everyone calls you the flying grandmother!
Woman: Yes, the thing about growing older is that you don't feel any different inside, so
you have to do as much as you can while you can. I'm healthy, and my own children are grown up, so I was free to go.
Man: And what about preparing for the trip?
Woman: Well, it took five months to plan. I was going to go with my husband, but he couldn't take time off work. Instead I made the trip with my flying teacher who became a great friend while she was teaching me to fly three years ago. I passed my flying test after two weeks; found it quite easy.
Man: And what was the trip like?
Woman: It was really exciting flying over so many different countries. The only thing was that we weren't able to spend much time sightseeing because we only stopped to get water and to camp. We took very little with us, but we did have tents and cooking things to use at night. We had to spend two days in Thailand because of an engine problem, but that was the longest we spent anywhere. Fortunately nothing else went wrong, so we just kept on going after that.
Man: What did you enjoy most about the trip?
Woman: The most wonderful thing about flying was seeing the differences in the countryside as we flew across 26 countries in 97 days. We flew over oceans and close to mountains; sometimes it was quite frightening, but we didn't travel when it was dark. We spent several nights camping in the desert and the sky was just full of stars. I made a video of the trip; you'll see it in a minute.
Man: Was there anything that you missed while you were away?
Woman: Well, to my surprise I didn't miss going to work or going out to restaurants or films. The most difficult thing was sitting still all the time; I normally play tennis and swim several times a week, so I started to feel very unfit. I missed hot water and proper showers sometimes too, but not as much as I thought I would!
The main reason for Angela's trip was to
A.make money for her business.
B.make money for other people.
C.have an exciting adventure.

听力原文:M: I suppose you must have heard about that great piece of concrete falling onto a car in that terrible accident in South Street yesterday, didn't you, Jane?
W: Yes, I saw it in the paper. From a 200-foot high building, wasn't it? I gather the driver had just got out or he'd have been killed, wouldn't he?
M: Oh, yes. I saw the car; it was totally damaged.
W: You usually park your car around there, don't you, Bill?
M: Yes, I left it in that very spot a couple of days ago, but yesterday it was parked up the road.
W: You were lucky then, weren't you, Bill?

W: But you used to be so proud of your car, weren't you?
M: I used to be years ago, but now there are all sorts of repairs to be done, and I just haven't got enough spare cash to put it right.

M: Few people are stupid enough to buy a car in that state, are they?

M: Yes, but his car was a specially-built model that can't be replaced, and there was hardly anything wrong with it, was there?

听力原文:W: Hi, Tim. I'm really sorry to hear about your grandfather. My sincerest sympathies go out to you and your family. He was such a great man.
M: Thanks. As you know, he had been sick for some time before he passed away, so we were somewhat prepared.
W: So, how's your grandmother taking it?
M: Oh, it's been really hard on her. I don't think you get over something like that.
W: Yeah, I'm sure. My heart really goes out to her. Uh, so how's your grandmother going to be able to manage things alone?
M: Well, financially, grandmother will be able to live a secure life from now on. I mean, grandfather had life insurance and substantial investments in property and stocks, so returns on those should take care of her. But our main concern at this moment is her emotional state. She's really down, so a call now and again should brighten her day.
W: So, what are the funeral arrangements?
M: Well, some of the family members will get together on Tuesday morning for a private memorial service, but there will be a viewing in the afternoon from 2:00 to 3:00, followed by the funeral service.
W: I wish there was something I could do for you.
M: Well, actually, there is. You know, grandfather really admired you a lot, and before he died, he asked if you'd sing a musical number at the funeral.
W: Really? I'd be honored.

W: Sure. Then, see you on Tuesday.
