听力原文： The Titanic, with 2, 300 passengers aboard, was on its first voyage from Southampton to New York. It was 11:40 p. m. on April 14th 1912 and the sea was calm. Suddenly the look-out man saw the enormous iceberg. "Iceberg ahead ! "he shouted.
Immediately the ship turned, but not soon enough. The iceberg tore a 300-foot hole in the hull and water began to pour in. At first the captain didn't worry because the ship was said to be" unsinkable". Then the ship began to lean. At 12:05 the captain gave the order" Uncover the lifeboats" !
The Wireless operator sent out an SOS signal. Six ships began to race towards the Titanic. But the two ships who were closest did not hear the desperate calls for help.
At two a. m. the captain gave the order"Abandon ship!"A few minutes later the Titanic began to slip beneath the surface. One by one the last passengers jumped into the sea. Then the stern rose up in the air and the Titanic sank quickly out of sight.
At dawn the next morning a rescue boat picked up 705 survivors from the lifeboats. Most of them were first and second class passengers. All their children survived. Of the children who traveled third class, only a third survived.
Where was the destination of Titanic？
A．Southampton.
B．New York.
C．London.
D．Paris.

听力原文： Cheering crowds have greeted Queen Elizabeth Ⅱ as she appeared outside Windsor Castle in a pink suit and hat on her 80th birthday. And charismatic working grandmother shows no signs of slowing down and has genes on her side --her mother died at 101. Queen Elizabeth's husband, Prince Philip, followed close behind as she passed through the castle's King Henry VIII gate, Voice of America reports. A military band played and a 21-gun salute echoed nearby ahead of another 41-gun salute in London's Hyde Park later in the day Friday. Prince Charles is hosting a birthday dinner for the royal family at a palace in London's Kew Gardens. Queen Elizabeth has received 37,000 birthday cards and e-malls from around the world, according to Buckingham Palace. Queen Elizabeth Ⅱ issued a statement saying she is very touched by the messages. In an ITV News survey, Elizabeth was rated the most popular royal. Bottom of the survey came Camilla Parker-Bowles, Duchess of Cornwall, who last year married the queen's eldest son, Charles, after a tortuous 35-year romance. In her 80s, Queen Elizabeth II remains perhaps the most style-conscious monarch. She is known for her penchant for brightly colored suits and hats. French designer Sonia Rykiel once criticized the Queen of England about the way she dresses. She called the Queen "the worst dressed person in the UK". "The Queen is one of the worst dresses people in the UK. She should stop wearing those bright suits and hats... "Sonia Rykiel said. UA woman in her position should start dressing in a more sober and serious manner." Frankly, we sold our Sonia Rykiel sweaters cardigans on eBay promptly after this interview. According to a senior royal aide, "The Queen proudly wears British designers. She wears practical and stylish clothing which is right for the kind of work she does." Her main leisure interests include horse racing, photography, and dogs, especially her Pembroke Welsh Corgis. Queen Elizabeth Ⅱ is Europe's longest-serving living monarch. And lest we forget, Queen Elizabeth Ⅱ is the Queen of Canada, too.

听力原文： Lecturer: In the last lecture, we looked...
听力原文： Lecturer: In the last lecture, we looked at the adverse effects of desert dust on global climate. Today we're going to examine more closely what causes dust storms and what other effects they can have. As you know, dust storms have always been a feature of desert climates, but what we want to focus on today is the extent to which human activity is causing them. And it is this trend that I want to look at, because it has wide-ranging implications. So, what are these human activities？ Well, there are two main types that affect the wind erosion process, and thus the frequency of dust storms. There are activities that break up naturally wind-resistant surfaces such as off-road vehicle use and construction and there are those that remove protective vegetation cover from soils, for example, mainly farming and drainage. In many cases the two effects occur simultaneously which adds to the problem.
Let's look at some real examples and see what I'm talking about. Perhaps the best-known example of agricultural impact on desert dust is the creation of the USA's 'dust bowl' in the 1930s. The dramatic rise in the number of dust storms during the latter part of that decade was the result of farmers' mismanaging their land. In fact, choking dust storms became so commonplace that the decade became known as the 'Dirty Thirties'.
Researchers observed a similar, but more prolonged, increase in dustiness in West Africa between the 1960s and the 1980s when the frequency of the storms rose to 80 a year and the dust was so thick that visibility was reduced to 1,000 metres. This was a hazard to pilots and road users. In places like Arizona, the most dangerous dust clouds are those generated by dry thunderstorms. Here, this type of storm is so common that the problem inspired officials to develop an alert system to warn people of oncoming thunderstorms. When this dust is deposited it causes all sorts of problems for machine operators. It can penetrate the smallest nooks and crannies and play havoc with the way things operate because most of the dust is made up of quartz which is very hard. Another example - the concentration of dust originating from the Sahara has risen steadily since the mid-1960s.
This increase in wind erosion has coincided with a prolonged drought, which has gripped the Sahara's southern fringe. Drought is commonly associated with an increase in dust-raising activity but it's actually caused by low rainfall which results in vegetation dying off.
One of the foremost examples of modern human-induced environmental degradation is the drying up of the Aral Sea in Central Asia. Its ecological demise dates from the 1950s when intensive irrigation began in the then Central Asian republics of the USSR. This produced a dramatic decline in the volume of water entering the sea from its two major tributaries. In 1960, the Aral Sea was the fourth-largest lake in the world, but since that time it has lost two-thirds of its volume, its surface area has halved and its water level has dropped by more than 216 metres. A knock-on effect of this ecological disaster has been the release of significant new sources of wind-blown material, as the water level has dropped.
And the problems don't stop there. The salinity of the lake has increased so that it is now virtually the same as sea water. This means that the material that is blown from the dry bed of the Aral Sea is highly saline. Scientists believe it is adversely affecting crops around the sea because salts are toxic to plants.
This shows that dust storms have numerous consequences beyond their effects on climate, both for the workings of environmental systems and for people living in drylands ...

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.

A．Keys to paper recycling.
B．Importance of recycling.
C．Keys to recycling improvement.

听力原文： That afternoon Molly almost danced along the street, as she walked home with her father from the station. They had seen Mrs. Gibson and Cynthia off to London. She wished her stepmother would take herself off to London much more often.
"Well now, dad." she said, "I'm going to have you all to myself for a whole week. You must be very obedient."
"I hope you aren't going to boss me, Molly. You're walking me out of breath already. We mustn't pass Mrs. Goodmays in our hurry."
They crossed the street to Mrs. Goodmays, one of the doctor's patients.
"We've just been seeing my wife and her daughter off to London. They've gone up for a week."
"Dear me, to London, and only for a week!" said Mrs. Goodmays, with surprise. "It seems hardly worth the packing. It'll be lonely for you, Molly, without your stepsister."
"Yes," said Molly, suddenly feeling as if she ought to have taken this view of the ease.
"I'll miss Cynthia."
"And you, Dr. Gibson. I hope you won't feel like a widower once again. You must come and have supper with me one evening. What about Tuesday？"
Dr. Gibson felt a sharp blow on his leg from the toe of Molly's shoes, but even so he accepted the invitation, much to the old lady's satisfaction.
A moment later, Molly said to him, "How could you go and waste one of our precious evenings？ We've got five now, I've been planning all sorts of things for us to do together."
What were Molly's feelings as they walked home？
A．She wished she had gone to London too.
B．She was delighted to be alone with her father,
C．She was looking forward to Mrs. Gibson's return.

听力原文： BARCELONA
A new study in the journal of Experimental Psychology suggested that it's not just humans that can tell the difference between languages. It turns out that rats can distinguish between Japanese and Dutch. That's what researchers at the Park Scientific Barcelona found. When they trained rats to press a little lever in response to a specific language, some rats were given Japanese while others heard Dutch. When the rats later listened to both languages they ignored the unfamiliar one. Human babies easily pick up on the distinctive rhythm of a language as they are learning to talk. Rats obviously don't use language. So this finding suggests that some of the skills that make human language possible probably evolved for other reasons.
AMERICA
An examination of old bones in America has led scientists to suggest that sperm whales diving deep beneath the surface of the ocean can suffer from decompression sickness or the bends just as human divers do. Researchers found evidence of damage in the bones of whales dating back over a period of more than 100 years. The pitting and erosion of the bones matched the conditions associated with the bends in which too rapid ascent from the ocean depth can cause agonizing pain or death.
JAPAN
Another powerful earthquake has struck Japan's northwestern Niigata Prefecture, site of the quake, Saturday. That was the nation's most deadly earthquake in 9 years. The latest temblor measuring 5.6 on the open-ended Richter Scale occurred early Monday local time. There were no immediate damage reports. On Sunday, Japan's Prime Minister announced he asked parliament for emergency funding to help people recover from Saturday's earthquake which left at least 23 people dead and thousands more injured. The quake forced about 65,000 people to evacuate their homes and cut off power, communications and transportation. It was the worst in Japan since the 1995 earthquake in the city of Kobe.
CHINA
The American Secretary of State is in China for talks expected to focus on the deadlock over North Korea's nuclear program. China has hosted previous six-nation talks aimed at resolving the crisis over what North Korea describes as its nuclear deterrent. Pyongyang has refused to resume negotiation and says US-led international naval exercise due to begin on Monday off the Japanese coast are evidence of Washington's hostile intent. Speaking earlier in Tokyo, Mr. Secretary denied the accusation and said it was urgent to resume the multilateral talks with North Korea.
EUROPE
The US dollar has continued to fall on international currency markets, hitting the lowest level it's reached against the Euro since the European single currency began trading in 1999. It slipped to 1 dollar 34.6 cents against the Euro. That's down more than a third from its highest point in 2002. The head of the European Central Bank described the plunge as brutal and financial analysts say the dollar could soon lose its status as the world's dominant currency. But the United States Treasury Secretary insists that the government is addressing the issue.
Questions:
6. What does this news item mainly suggest？
7.What can sperm whales suffer from when diving deep？
8.Which of the following statements is NOT a feature of the earthquake？
9.What can we infer from the news？
10.Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the news？
(26)
A．Only humans can tell the difference between languages.
B．Rats can use language.
C．Rats can distinguish between English and Chinese.
D．The distinction of linguistic rhythm is a skill owned not only by humans.

听力原文: The traditional American Thanksgiving Da...
听力原文： The traditional American Thanksgiving Day celebration goes back to 1621. In that year a special feast was prepared in Plymouth, Massachusetts. The colonists who had settled there had left England because they felt denied of religious freedom. They came to the new land and faced difficulties in coming across the ocean. The ship which carried them was called the Mayflower. The North Atlantic was difficult to travel. There were bad storms. They were assisted in learning to live in the new land by the Indians who in habited the region. The Puritans, as they were called, had much to be thankful for. Their religious practices were no longer a source of criticism by the government. They learned to adjust their fanning habits to the climate and soil. When they selected the fourth Thursday of November for their Thanksgiving celebration, they invited their neighbors, the Indians, to join them in dinner and a prayer of gratitude for the new life. They recalled the group of 102 men, women, and children who left England. They remembered their dead who did not live to see the shores of Massachusetts. They reflected on the 65 days' journey which tested their strength.
What is the best title for this passage？
A．First Settlers in Plymouth.
B．Puritans and Indians.
C．Mayflower.
D．American Thanksgiving Day.
