听力原文： The United Nations General Assembly has again called for an end to the United States economic embargo against Cuba. But Washington ignored the demand, insisting the sanctions are a bilateral issue.
Cuba's National Assembly president opened the debate at the United Nations by announcing Havana's new legal campaign against the US embargo. Ricardo Allorcon said his country will Erie a US $ 100 billion law suit against Washington. The case seeks compensation for the enormous suffering inflicted by the 37-year-old economic blockade on the Cuban people. After the debate, the UN General Assembly voted 155 to 2 to demand an end to the sanctions for the eighth straight year. Only the US and Israel opposed the resolution. Washington's key allies, Japan, Canada and the European Union supported the calls for the lifting of the blockade. Washington has ignored the non-binding UN resolutions, insisting its embargo is a bilateral trade policy towards Cuba.

For decades, Americans have taken for granted the United States’ leadership position in the development of new technologies. The innovations (创新) that resulted from research and development during World War II and afterwards were 36 to the prosperity of the nation in the second half of the 20th century. Those innovations, upon which virtually all aspects of 37 society now depend, were possible because the United States then 38 the world in mathematics and science education. Today, however, despite increasing demand for workers with strong skills in mathematics and science, the 39 of degrees awarded in science, math, and engineering are decreasing.
The decline in degree production in what are called the STEM disciplines (science, technology, engineering, and math) seems to be 40 related to the comparatively weak performance by U.S. schoolchildren on international assessments of math and science. Many students entering college have weak skills in mathematics. According to the 2005 report of the Business-Higher Education Forum, 22 percent of college freshmen must take remedial (补习的) math 41 , and less than half of the students who plan to major in science or engineering 42 complete a major in those fields.
The result has been a decrease in the number of American college graduates who have the skills, 43 in mathematics, to power a workforce that can keep the country at the forefront (前沿) of innovation and maintain its standard of living. With the 44 performance of American students in math and science has come increased competition from students from other countries that have strongly supported education in these areas. Many more students earn 45 in the STEM disciplines in developing countries than in the United States.
A) accelerating
B) actually
C) closely
D) contemporary
E) courses
F) critical
G) declining
H) degrees
I) especially
J) future
K) led
L) met
M) procedures
N) proportions
O) spheres

听力原文： Before the 20th century, the horse provided day to day transportation in the United States. Trains were used only for long-distance transportation.
Today the car is the most popular sort of transportation in all of the United States. It has completely replaced the horse as a means of everyday transportation. Americans use their car for nearly 90 percent of all personal trips.
Most Americans are able to buy cars. The average price of a recently made car was $ 2050 in 1950, $ 2740 in 1960 and up to $ 4750 in 1975. During this period American car manufacturers set about improving their products and work efficiency. As a result, the yearly income of the average family increased from 1950 to 1975 faster than the price of cars. For this reason purchasing a new car takes a smaller part of a family's total earnings today.
What was the only use of trains before the 20th century？
A．The use for short-distance transportation.
B．The use for day to day transportation.
C．The use for long-distance transportation.
D．The use for transportation of precious things.

Todays low gasoline prices make consumers willing to indulge their preference for larger cars, which consume greater amounts of gasoline as fuel. So United States automakers are unwilling to pursue the development of new fuel-efficient technologies aggressively. The particular reluctance of the United States automobile industry to do so, however, could threaten the industrys future. Which of the following, if true, would provide the most support for the claim above about the future of the United States automobile industry？
A．A prototype fuel-efficient vehicle, built five years ago, achieves a very high 81 miles per gallon on the highway and 63 in the city, but its materials are relatively costly.
B．Small cars sold by manufacturers in the United States are more fuel efficient now than before the sudden jump in oil prices in 1973.
C．Automakers elsewhere in the world have slowed the introduction of fuel-efficient technologies but have pressed ahead with research and development of them in preparation for a predicted rise in world oil prices.
D．There are many technological opportunities for reducing the waste of energy in cars and light trucks through weight, aerodynamic drag, and braking friction.
E．The promotion of mass transit over automobiles as an alternative mode of transportation has encountered consumer resistance that is due in part to the failure of mass transit to accommodate the wide dispersal of points of origin and destinations for trips.
