The Li Yuchun phenomena, however, goes far beyond her 【S1】______
voice, which even if the most enthusiastic fans admit is pretty 【S2】______
weak. As a dancer, she's not much better. Hei Nan, one of the
event's judges, told the Guangzhou Daily that Li was "the worst
of the top six in terms of singing skills", so noted that she reaped 【S3】______
the most audience votes.
That Li did possess was attitude, originality and a proud 【S4】______
androgyny (双性性格) that challenged Chinese norms. During
the tryouts, Li wore loose jeans and a black button-down shirt,
with no make-up. She auditioned (预演) with In My Heart
There's Only You, Never Her, an oldie (老歌) made famously 【S5】______
by Liu Wenzheng a man. In the main competition she sang
other songs written for female performers and called herself "a 【S6】______
tomboy". For an ordinary Chinese audience, Li's disregard for
the rule book produced an unfamiliar knee-weakening. Her fans
wept openly and frantically shrieked when Li took the stage.
Li's victory was unusual in other. ways. "Super Girl's Voice"
is run democratically. Eight million of SMS votes flooded in 【S7】______
on the night of the finale. For a few weeks after, the mainland
press debated the relevance of this format. "Only something
that smashes social norms could elicit such a response," Yu
Guoming, a media expert at People's University, told the Beijng
News. "After all, the opportunities to use votes to choose in
such events are relative few." An editorial in the China Daily 【S8】______
wondered: "How come an imitation of a democratic system
ends up selecting the singer has the least ability to carry a me?" 【S9】______
But she is more: Li represents un-embarrassed individuality, and
that' s how she's a national icon. 【S10】______
【S1】

听力原文: It was 1951, during my first week at North Carolina College, a black school. The English chairman's wife, who was as light as a white woman, stopped me one day in the hall.
When I went to her office, she said, "You had the highest grade on the examination." She was talking about the exam that the entire freshman class took. In spite of her smile, her eyes and tone of voice said, "How could this black-skinned girl score higher on the test than the other students? It must be a mistake." At North Carolina College, color was used in deciding status. The faculty assumed that light-skinned students were more intelligent, and they were always a bit surprised when a dark-skinned student did well, especially if she was a girl.
When the grades for the first quarter came out, I had the highest average in the freshmen class. The chairman's wife called me into her office again, pulled out a copy of the freshman English final exam, and asked me to retake it. I couldn't believe it. It Was so incredible to her that I had the highest score in the class that she was trying to test me again. I felt rage so intense that I wanted to start hitting her. I have seldom hated anyone so deeply. I handed the exam back to her and walked out.

听力原文: Some years ago an American policeman found a woman lying near a lonely road.She did not appear to have had an accident, but she was trembling and clearly in a state of shock, so he rushed her to the nearest hospital. She began to tell the doctor on duty a story which was astonishing in all respects. She had been driving along a country road when she was stopped by a flying saucer landing in front of her. She had been forced to leave the car and enter the flying saucer by some creatures.
These creatures looked like human beings, and could easily make themselves understood although they could not speak. It was as though they could read her thoughts and she could read theirs. They treated her politely and allowed her to leave after carrying out a number of tests on her. As she otherwise seemed to be normal, the doctor decided that she was probably suffering from the side-effects of some drug.
The woman insisted on being allowed to go home, but when she gave her address it was in a town over a thousand miles from the hospital. The police then started to make inquiries. They soon discovered that there was already a search going on for the woman, whose husband had reported that she had disappeared. Her car had been found with the driver's door open and the engine running. In front of the car the surface of the road had b~n completely destroyed--not by an explosion or anything of that kind, but as though a large, circular, white-hot object had burnt through it.

A.She was driving along the country road.
B.She was lying in a hospital bed.
C.She was lying near a lonely road, trembling.
D.She was telling a frightening story to a doctor.

听力原文: Somehow the old male and female stereotypes no longer fit. Men and women in this country haven't been fulfilling their traditional roles for some time now. And there seem to be fewer and fewer differences between the sexes. For instance, even though more women than men are still homemakers without paying jobs, women have been taking over more responsibility in the business world, earning higher salaries than ever before and entering fields of work that used to be exclusively male areas At office meetings and in group discussions, they might speak up more often, express stronger opinions and come up with more creative and practical ideas than their male colleagues. Several days ago, my 23-year-old daughter came to me with some important news. Not only had she found the highest paying job of her career, but she'd also accepted a date with the most charming men she'd ever met.
"Really?" I responded," tell me about them. "
" Receptionist in an attorney's office and a welder at a construction site. " She answered in a matter-of-fact way. The interesting thing is my daughter's date is the receptionist and my daughter is the welder. The old stereotypes of men's and women's work have been changing more quickly than ever before, except perhaps in my own marriage.
"Who's going to mow the lawn?" I asked my husband this morning.
"Oh, I will," he answered politely, "That's men's work.
"What?" Irritated, I raised my voice, "That's a ridiculous stereotype. I'll show you who can do the best job on the lawn. "
The work took 3 hours and I did it all myself.
Questions:
29. What is the speaker mainly talking about?
30. What might women do at office meetings nowadays according to the speaker?
31. Why did the speaker mow the Lawn herself that morning?
(30)
A.The old stereotypes about men and women.
B.The changing roles played by men and women.
C.The division of labor between men and women
D.The widespread prejudice against women.

His wife Jane, an Oxford graduate in modern languages, has a demanding full-time job. She is director of the Cambridge House literacy scheme for adults in South London. Her working week involves several evenings and Saturdays, and at these times her husband is in sole charge of home and family. Apart from this, they share household jobs and employ a child-minder for the afternoons. This enables him to teach two days a week and to do what he considers his principal work—writing. He has written several books and spends much of his time in the British Museum Reading Room, cycling there from his home in Brixton. People ask the Maces if they think that their children miss them. One can argue that satisfied parents generally have satisfied children, but in any case the Maces are careful to reserve time and energy to play with their children. "And they have now developed relationships with other adults and children."
Previously, Rodney Mace worked full-time and Jane only part-time. Then 18 months ago, the director of file literacy scheme left. "It seemed to me that Jane was very well suited to do this ]ob. She was very doubtful about it. But I urged her to apply. She did, and she got it." Jane Mace confirms that she needed this encouragement, as so many women initially do. Did his male self-esteem suffer from the change-over? Nothing like that occurred. But he still seems amazed at the way it changed his thinking. "I felt that we were finally going to be partners. I felt enormous relief. I wasn't avoiding responsibility, but changing it. Our relationship is so much better now. It has been a change for the good for both of us — I think for all of us, in every aspect of our lives, I cannot overemphasize that: in every aspect, 1 think it is fundamental that the woman works. The idea of equal partnership is just a fancy if one partner doesn't work."
The article is about a couple whose married life is happier because ______.
A.they have a truly equal partnership
B.the husband has more sense of household responsibility
C.the couple cares little about other people's comment on their life
D.the wife has a full time job
