听力原文：Sudanese opposition leader Sadeqal-Mahdi, who travels to Washington next week, sa
听力原文： Sudanese opposition leader Sadeqal-Mahdi, who travels to Washington next week, says he will push the Bush administration to urge both sides in his country's civil war to make peace and create a true democracy. In an interview with Reuters news agency, Mr. Mahdi says the United States can play an important role in pressuring both sides to reach a just peace through political talks, not war-fare.
Last week, Secretary of State Colin Powell visited the region and promised to try harder to end the Sudanese war, which has killed an estimated two million people. It pits the Muslim north against the largely Christian and animist south.
Sudan's President Omar Hassan Al-Bashir and rebel leader John Garang are to hold proximity talks Saturday in Nairobi along with east African leaders trying to mediate an end to the 18 year conflict. In addition to the Kenyan host, President Daniel-arap Moi, the Ugandan, Ethiopian and Eritrean leaders are to attend the session.
Who has visited Sudan last week？
A．Sadeqal-Mahdi.
B．Colin Powell.
C．Omar Hassan AL-Bashir.
D．President Bush.

听力原文： One who watches TV often feels that whatever happened in the film could well happen to him. At her friend's, Jane had been enjoying a spy film in which a young girl had been followed and murdered. Now she was walking to the station, feeling a little frightened. She took the train back to the center of the city where there were lots of people, and she felt much safer. She thought of nothing until she found a man nearby staring at her. Feeling very uncomfortable she got out of the train and went to the bus stop. No sooner had she taken a seat than she found herself still followed. After getting off, she heard footsteps behind her but dared not turn round before she felt a hand on her shoulder and heard a pleasant voice "I'd apologize if I frightened you. I'm your new neighbor. I thought I recognized you in train, but I wasn't so sure".

听力原文： Not until somewhat recently (that is, in terms of human history) did people find a need for knowing the time of day. As best we know, 5000 to 6000 years ago great civilizations in the Middle East and North Africa initiated clock-making. With their bureaucracies and formal religions, these cultures found a need to organize their time more efficiently.
The Egyptians were the next to formally divide their day into parts something like our hours. Obelisks (slender, tapering, four-sided monuments) were built as early as 3500 B. C. Their moving shadows formed a kind of sundial, enabling citizens to partition the day into two parts by indicating noon. They also showed the year's longest and shortest days when the shadow at noon was the shortest or longest of the year. Later, markers added around the base of the monument would indicate further time subdivisions.
Another Egyptian shadow clock or sundial, possibly the first portable timepiece, came into use around 1500 B.C. to measure the passage of "hours". This device divided a sunlit day into 10 parts plus two "twilight hours" in the morning and evening. When the long stem with 5 variably spaced marks was oriented east and west in the morning, an elevated crossbar on the east end cast a moving shadow over the marks. At noon, the device was turned in the opposite direction to measure the afternoon "hours".
In the quest for more year-round accuracy, sundials evolved from flat horizontal or vertical plates to more elaborate forms. One version was the hemispherical dial, a bowl shaped depression cut into a block of stone, carrying a central vertical gnomon (pointer) and scribed with sets of hour lines for different seasons. The hemicycle, said to have been invented about 300 B. C. , removed the useless half of the hemisphere to give an appearance of a half bowl cut into the edge of a squared block.
(33)
A．4000 - 5000.
B．50 - 60,000.
C．500 - 600.
D．5000 - 6000.

听力原文：M: Good evening and welcome to our program. Our guest is Mrs. Green, who is an expert in the field of environ mental protection. Welcome to our program, Mrs. Green.
W: Thank you.
M: Well, we hear it a lot in the news these days: "Recycle newspapers and save a tree. Collect bottles and cans so they can be reused in the manufacturing of new products." But how to promote the recycling movement？ Can you give us some suggestions？
W: I think there are three essential keys.
M: What is the first one？
W: The first key is to have a more informed public, that is, to raise public awareness about the recycling process, to explain the kinds of materials that can be recycled, and provide ways on how to properly dispose of them. Local governments should educate the public on how to properly sort reusable materials from those, like waxed paper, carbon paper, plastic material such as fast food wrappers, that can't be recycled very easily.
M: Then what is the second key？
W: The second is the development of improved technology. Technological progress has been made on many fronts, but governmental agencies need to step up their support for companies involved in recycling by providing tax incentives, low-cost loans, or even grants to upgrade equipment and to encourage further research.
M: So what about the third essential key？
W: The final key is to develop a greater demand for recycled materials. This means increasing demand for the growing surplus of resources waiting to be recycled.
M: Recycling is a crucial link protecting our planet. The three keys Mrs. Green mentioned are important ways to achieve this end. Thanks for joining us, Mrs. Green.
W: You're welcome.
(23)
A．Keys to paper recycling.
B．Importance of recycling.
C．Keys to recycling improvement.

听力原文：W: I've just read a curious fact. Did you know that people who spend less than 10 minutes in a drug store are five times more likely to make a purchase than those who spend half an hour there？
M: I saw that article, too. But think, if someone runs into a drug store for 10 minutes, he is usually there to make a specific purchase.
W: And someone who spends more time there may be just looking？
M: Exactly. Haven't you ever gone into a store thinking that you'll buy something and then talk yourself out of it？
W: Yes, I have. Especially when I thought I could get it for less elsewhere, or I really didn't need it after all.
M: Exactly, but, if you run in to buy something specific and have very little time, you pick it up, pay for it immediately, and then leave.
W: That's true. Maybe we should learn a lesson from that. Take your time end you'll spend less money.
M: I doubt if that would be true in all stores though. In a department store, for instance, you may see a sweater or some thing you never intend to buy, and buy it because you have time to look around.

听力原文： As you probably know, log structures are gaining popularity. They are no longer just the simple country homes that we think of as the traditional log cabin. Some upscale homes now incorporate natural round logs in sealing beams and walls. People seem to think that the rounded logs give their homes a cozy warm atmosphere. And even people who want to build a traditional log cabin on their own can buy a kit with precut logs that fit together like pieces of lig-saw puzzle. Before showing you some slides of modem log houses, I'd like to give you a little historical background on the subject.
Log cabins were first built in the late 1600s along the Delaware river valley. The European immigrants who settled there brought centuries' old traditions of working with logs. And in this heavily wooded area logs were the material in hand. Log cabins were the most popular in the early 1800s with the settlers who were moving west. They provided the answer to the pioneer's need for a sale and sliding boards for windows. But the log buildings that have probably had most influence on modern architects are those of the mountain retreats of wealthy New Yorkers. These country houses which were popular in the early 1900s typify what's known as the Adoroundyx style. Now let's look at those slides.
What is the speaker mainly discussing？
A．Traditional European architecture.
B．Techniques for building log cabins.
C．The history of log structures.
D．How to build a home by yourself.

If you find you’ve got time left, you can use that for questions from the audience.

听力原文： The old house-allotting policy had at least two disadvantages. First, the government spent a lot of money building some houses, but these houses were allotted to people free of charge. Thus. the government would have no money to build more houses for people who badly needed them. Second, the persons who were in power could get more houses than those who were powerless. This was quite unfair. On the contrary, the new system of house allotment may bring about many new things. For example, the government will have more money which can be used in house construction. So, the housing industry can develop more quickly. Besides, because houses will be sold to people, the chances they get will be equal.

听力原文：W: Good evening! Welcome to our Talk Show program. Our guest today is Mr. David Smith, who had the experiences of studying abroad for seven years and then returning back home. Well, Mr. Smith, do you think going abroad was the hard part？
M: I don't think so, but returning back home was really hard.
W: Why？
M: Well, for many students, returning back to their home countries can be a very confusing experience.
W: Re-entry Shock! That sounds quite interesting. Can you explain it？
M: For example, many students who come to the United States experience freedoms they have never enjoyed in their country.
W: Sure, such as freedom from family, freedom from cultural norms they didn't like and freedom from the pressures of working in a real job.
M: However, too much freedom and unstructured life can lead to other problems. Students sometimes skip classes, stay out late, and engage in activities that their families and cultures might not approve of, but students want to enjoy "freedom" while it lasts.
W: So when students return back to their countries, they can struggle with fitting back into the cultural norms and family expectations of the past.
M: Yes. Naturally, depression is possible and a loss of self can result.
W: Then what can students do to minimize this Re-entry Shock？
M: First of all, keep in contact with your family and friends while you are abroad. They will be your first source of advice and support once you return.
W: What else？
M: Second, have a clear plan what you will do when you return. Start looking for a job now or apply to enter a school months before you return. Re-entry Shock can be greatest when you have nothing to do when you return.
