听力原文:M: Oh, look at the sky, Cathy! It's starting to get cloudy.

W: I see it. I hope it doesn't rain. I thought it was going to be a fine day today.

M: That's certainly what the department was hoping for when they chose today as the day for the annual picnic.

W: You can't have a picnic without good weather. You need sunshine for all the eating and games and entertainment.

M: Yeah, sunshine—but not too much! Do you remember last year?

W: I sure do. It was so hot all we did was look for shade, look for ways to escape from the sun.

M: And no one wanted to participate in any of the planned activities. All we wanted was cold drinks. And then dozed off.

W: If there had just been the tiniest breeze to cool us off...

M: But there wasn't. Just the burning sun, without a cloud in the sky, and the temperature just seemed to climb higher and higher.

W: Well, we don't have that problem this year, apparently. Alan, did you hear the weather forecast? Is it supposed to rain?

M: I don't know. I didn't catch the weather report. But maybe if it'rains, it will only be a short shower which cools thing off a little. That might not be bad.

(20)

A.They are planning a picnic for the department.

B.They are having a picnic organized by the department.

C.They are discussing how to escape from the sun.

D.They are drinking and talking about the weather.

听力原文:W: We'd better be looking for sales on down jackets and underwear. It's going to
be really cold this winter.

M: Well, you didn't expect it to be warm, did you?

W: Of course not, but I just heard the National Weather Service's prediction for the next 90 days. They said it's sup- posed to be much colder weather than usual.

M: Yeah, maybe. Personally, I think those long-range forecasts are useless.

W: Not as useless as you think.

M: Oh, come on, when you're talking about what's going to happen three months later, you might as well just pick a forecast out of our hat. W: Well, you are half-right. They aren't very good for the amount of rain. But they are a lot better for temperatures especially for this time of the year.

M: Really, so I should take them seriously about the cold but not count too much on a lot of extra snow?

W: Un-huh.

M: But what did you say about this time of the year? Do some seasons really give them more problems in making forecasts?

W: Autumn is the worst, apparently weather patterns change so much then, just think how variable our weather has been the last three months.

M: Come to think of it. That's true. It probably would have been hard to predict all those changes back in the summer. You know, you're beginning to convince me there is more to forecast than I thought. How come you know so much about it?

W: I get my information from an expert. My sister's a meteorologist.

On what aspect of weather forecasting is the conversation about?

(20)

A.How much its accuracy has improved recently.

B.How reliable long-range forecasts are.

C.How difficult it takes to make a good forecast.

D.How the current forecast causes troubles.

听力原文: Britain has a variable climate. The weather changes so frequently that it is difficult to forecast. It is not unusual for people to complain that the weatherman was wrong. Fortunately, as Britain does not experience extreme weather conditions, it is never very cold or very hot. The temperature rarely rises above 32℃ in summer, or falls below—10℃ in winter.

Summers are generally cool, but due to global warming they are starting to get drier and hotter. Newspapers during a hot spell talk of "heat waves" and an "Indian summer"—dry, hot weather in September or October. Hot weather causes terrible congestion on the roads as Britons rush to the coastal resorts.

Winters are generally mild, with the most frequent and prolonged snowfalls in the Scottish Highlands, where it is possible to go skiing. If it does snow heavily in other parts of Britain, the country often comes to a standstill. Trains, buses and planes are late. People enjoy discussing the snow, complaining about the cold and comparing the weather conditions with previous winters!

Contrary to the popular opinion, it does not rain all the time. There is certainly steady rainfall throughout most of the year, but the months from September to January are the wettest. Thanks to the rain, Britain has a richly fertile countryside which is famous for its deep green colour.

Since the 1950s, most British cities have introduced clean air zones. Factories and houses cannot burn coal and must use smokeless fuel. The dirt caused by smoke used to cause terrible fogs, particularly in London. Londoners used to call their fogs "London Particulars" and you could not see your hand in front of you. Such fogs are now a thing of the past, but you can still see them in old films where they add mystery and atmosphere to murder stories and thrillers!

(30)

A.It's unusual.

B.It's sharp.

C.It's moderate.

D.It's unnoticeable.

听力原文: Have you always wanted to invest, but didn't know where to get started? Here are
three basic guidelines to smart investing, for your future.

Number one is to have clear goals. Decide how many years you will invest for, and what your needs will be in the future.

Number two is to understand the range of possibilities. You'll want a diversified portfolio: one with a mix of stocks, mutual funds, bonds, and cash. It's a jungle out them. Each of these products has different risks associated with them and also different potential rewards. Understand them before you buy, so there won't be any big surprises later.

Finally, number three is to have realistic expectations. As our Mend Leonardo da Vinci said in the year 1500: "He who wishes to be rich in a day will be hanged in a year."

Over the past several years, New York stocks have averaged 30% annual returns, but don't count on this continuing. While it's true that since the year 1900, stocks have averaged an 11% annual return. It's a roller-coaster ride with many minus years as well, so you have to stay in for the long term--you have to weather the storm--and not be too greedy.

(30)

A.To develop a savings plan.

B.To set up a bank account.

C.To set clear investing goals.

D.To work out the budget.

Passage One

Amazon rain forest, normally one of the world's wettest regions, shows the weather cycle is swinging to one extreme rather than signaling climate change, local meteorologists said Thursday. Water levels on two major Amazon tributaries, Madeira and Solimoes, dropped to record--38-year lows respectively, creating long delays in fiver traffic, the main form. of regional transport.

Dry weather also fanned huge forest fires, notably in the remote western State of Acre. But weather forecasters added that elsewhere in continentally sized Brazil, seasonal spring rains had started in the south and were spreading northwards through Brazil's major coffee belt and gradually into soybean areas in the center-west. "The Amazon drought shows extreme climate variability, not climatic change," said Jose Marengo, researcher at the Weather Forecasting and Climatic Studies Center, part of the National Institute of Space Research. Marengo said that normal rains were forecast for the south Amazon --the States of Acre and Rondonia, southern part of Para State and northern part of Mato Grosso State.

"Rain is forecast in Acre in the next couple of weeks," he said, adding that the region is normally dry between June and September and wettest in December and January. But we are a bit worried that there could be less rain than usual at the mouth of the Amazon, around Belem, he said, noting that extreme climatic events were occurring more frequently, "We could be seeing the first symptoms of changing cycles." Meteorologists discounted a link between unusually severe hurricanes in the Gulf of Mexico and drought in the Amazon.

Dry weather in the Amazon is linked to warmer ocean surface temperatures in the Pacific and to low sunspot activity, said Expedito Rebello, head of applied meteorology at the government's National Institute of Meteorology in Brasilia. "It's a phenomenal (不同寻常的) drought and could be linked to a warmer Pacific and little sunspot activity," Rebello said, noting extremely low water levels in the Amazon. But he added that the weather cycle would reach a low next year and then start to moderate. Paulo Etchitchury, director of private meteorologists Somar, said that the Pacific should start to enter a cooler period next Brazilian summer and this could result in a weak La Nina weather pattern. "It won't affect summer rains and it's still very early to talk about next winter," he said, adding that La Nina doesn't necessarily signal a cold winter and extra risk of frost damage to Brazil's coffee crop, the world's biggest.

Brazil was in a transitional period between the dry May/August winter and rainy spring which started in south Brazil in September, Etchitchury said. He said that this year weather conditions are in general seasonally normal in Brazil's main farming areas, except that drought in the Amazon could affect Mate Grosso, Brazil's main soy state. "Rains in the south are replenishing (补充) a water deficit and providing reserves for summer soy and com harvests," he said, adding, "Last September was hot and dry and people were worried about drought damage to crop flowering."

Passage Two

Even today, many experts say women scientists are often not treated fairly. The Washington Post newspaper reported a study about the number of research articles published in medical magazines in which a woman was the main writer. Women were the main writers only twenty-nine percent of the time. Nancy Andreasen is a scientist at the University of Iowa. Scientists like Miss Andreasen often send stories about their research to special professional publications. Miss Andreasen says her research is published more often when she signs them as N.C. Andreasen rather than Nancy Andreasen. In that way, the editors of the publications do not know if the writer is a man or a woman.

Women also receive fewer patents for their inventions. A p

听力原文: If you are like most people, your intelligence varies from season to season. You are probably a lot sharper in the spring than you are at any other time of year. A noted scientist, Ellsworth Huntington concluded from other men's work and his own among peoples in different climates that climate and temperature have a definite effect on our mental abilities.

He found that cool weather is much more favorable for creative thinking than is summer beat. This does not mean that all people are less intelligent in the summer than they are during the rest of the year. It does mean, however, that the mental abilities of large numbers of people tend to be lowest in the summer.

Spring appears to be the best period of the year for thinking. One mason may be that in the spring man's mental abilities am affected by the same factors that bring about great changes in all nature.

Fall is the next-best season, then winter. As for summer, it seems to be a good time to take a long vacation from thinking.

A.It changes from year to year.

B.It changes with the seasons.

C.It varies from day to day.

D.It stays the same throughout the year.

听力原文: According to a weather expert's prediction, the atmosphere will be 3℃ warmer in
the year 2050 than it is today, if man continues to burn fuels at the present rate. If this warming up took place, the ice caps in the poles would begin to melt, thus raising sea level several meters and severely flooding coastal cities. At the same time, the increase in atmospheric temperature would lead to great changes in the climate of the northern hemisphere, possibly resulting in an alteration of earth's chief food-growing zones.

In the past, concern about a man-made warming of the earth has concentrated on the Arctic because the Antarctic is much colder and has a much thicker ice sheet. But the weather experts are now paying more attention to West Antarctic, which may be affected by only a few degrees of warming, in other words, by a warming on the scale that will possibly take place in the next fifty years from the burning of fuels.

Satellite pictures show that large areas of Antarctic ice are already disappearing. The evidence available suggests that a warming has taken place. This fits the theory that carbon dioxide warms the earth.

However, most of the fuel is burnt in the northern hemisphere, where temperatures seem to be falling. As a result, scientists conclude that up to now natural influences on the weather have exceeded those caused by human being.

(30)

A.Releasing less and less carbon dioxide.

B.Continuing to burn fuels at the present rate.

C.Melting of ice caps in the poles.

D.The rising sea level several meters.
