M: Hi, Sally, this is Phil.
W: Great to hear from you Phil! How have you been doing？
M: To tell you the truth, I'm very worried about our final examinations next month. For one thing, I can't sleep.
W: I sympathize! I went through the same thing last year.
M: That's exactly why I'm calling you. Do you have any suggestions for coping with anxiety？ You know how I hate exams!
W: Well, last year the university offered a stress-management course at about this time. Have you been in contact with the student health services？
M: No, I haven't had time!
W: Funny, isn't it？ Just when students need help most, we can't afford the time to get it!
M: Well, perhaps I should find out more about this stress-management course. Things have got to get better!
W: I suggest you call the health services tomorrow. They open at nine a. m.
M: Thanks, ally. I'll let you know how it goes.
W: Best of luck! And have a good night's sleep!
M: That's easier said than done!

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： 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： 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： Here is our news about the European election. This election was a damning indictment of Europe's current political leaders. Most people either voted for opposition parties or didn't bother to vote at all.
In Germany in particular the scale of the defeat for the governing Social Democrats was pretty staggering. While the number of people from Poland and Slovakia was a source of deep disappointment for officials in Brussels. Euro-sceptic parties gained ground in Britain, Sweden, the Czech Republic and elsewhere.
But overall, the new parliament will not be too dissimilar from the old. Most MEPs will be pro-European, with the center-right parties forming the biggest group, followed by the socialists.
The parliament meets for the first time next month but attention in the EU is already switching to the debate on the proposed European constitution. EU foreign ministers are meeting in Luxembourg today to discuss new compromise proposals in advance of a European summit in Brussels later this week.
What do people think of the present European political leaders？
A．They are really bad as political leaders.
B．They are good as political leaders.
C．They are good, but also are opposed by some people.
D．People do not care what they do.

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.

France came first and Trinidad & Tobago won silver. Britain's Jason Gardener, Marion Devonish, Mark Lewis-Francis and Christian Malcolm had been hoping for a gold after the U.S. team crashed out. The defending champions had failed to qualify after Mardy Scales and Leonard Scott made a mess of the first changeover. Britain's failure until now to win a single medal has been a major embarrassment for UK athletics.
Which country won the goal medal in the men's 4×100 metres relay？
A．Britain.
B．France.
C．Trinidad & Tobago.
D．The United States.

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.
