听力原文:The basic flag of the United States is one of the world's oldest national flags.

听力原文: The basic flag of the United States is one of the world's oldest national flags. Only the basic flags of Austria, Denmark, Great Britain, the Netherlands, Sweden, and Switzerland are older.

The first official flag of the United States was created by Congress on June 14,1777. It consisted of 13 alternate red and white stripes and 13 white stars in a field of blue, representing the 13 colonies that had declared their independence in 1776. Congress adopted a new flag of 15 stars and 15 stripes in 1795, to give representation to the two new states admitted into the Union, Vermont and Kentucky.

By 1817, there were 20 states in the Union, and it became apparent that adding one stripe for each new state would destroy the shape of the flag. As a result, in 1818, congress restored the design of 13 stripes and provided that each state was to be represented by one star. In 1912 President William H. Taft made the first official provision for the arrangement of the stars. He ordered that there be six even rows of eight stars each. Previously, the arrangement of the stars had been left to the flag-maker's fancy.

The evolution of the Stars and Stripes reflects the growth of the United States. After the admission of Hawaii into the Union in 1959, the flag was officially changed for the 26th time since its creation.

听力原文:We can agree with primitive man that food is a basic need, but we differ from him

听力原文: We can agree with primitive man that food is a basic need, but we differ from him in our food wants because of the wide variety of food we have available compared with him; we have a wider choice. Take fruit for example, not only can we enjoy the fruits grown in his century, but because of modern methods of transport and food preservation, we can also enjoy the more fruits from foreign countries thousands of miles away, whereas primitive man is limited in his choice to the kinds of fruit which actually grow where he lives.

However they differ in satisfying their hunger, primitive and civilized men both experience the basic need for food.

The same is true of the second of our human need. Clothing is necessary to regulate the heat of our bodies. Since we live in a temperate climate we need more clothes than people living in tropic conditions. Likewise, our clothing needs to change with seasons.

Shelter, the third of our needs, depends upon the climate, the skill of the builder, one's social position, and the materials available. The simple shelter of primitive man would not do for us, and yet it satisfies his needs. The three bedroom suburban house of the average family would not be grand enough for a rich family, and yet the modern house contains many of the material comforts which were denied to the Kings and Queens of old.

(30)

A.Food is no longer a basic need for us, while it was for primitive people.

B.We eat a wide variety of food.

C.We no longer eat fruit that primitive people ever ate.

D.We eat more food than primitive people do.

听力原文:To get us started this semester, I'm going to spend the first two classes giving

听力原文: To get us started this semester, I'm going to spend the first two classes giving you background lectures about some basic cinematic concepts. Once you are a little more familiar with basic film terminology, we will be ready to look at the history of movies in the United States. You will be expected to attend showings of films on Tuesday evening at 7 o'clock at Jennings Auditorium, that's our lab. Then during our Wednesday seminar, we will discuss in depth the movie we saw the night before. We're not covering silent movies in this course. We will begin with the first talking motion picture, The Jazz Singer, released in 1927. The next week we'll be looking at The Gold Digger of 1933, a piece that is very representative of the escapist trend in films released during the Depression. Some of the films we will be watching will probably be new to you, like Frank Capra's Why We Fight. Others you might have already seen on TV, like Rebel Without a Cause starring James Deane, or Stanley Cooper's Doctor's Strange Love. However, I hope you will see even familiar films with new eye. In the last three weeks of the course, we will be watching films from the 1980s, and you will choose one of them as the subject for an extensive written critique. We will talk more about the requirements of the critique later in the semester.

(33)

A.To look at the history of movies in the United States.

B.Arrangement for the movie course.

C.Looking at The Gold Digger of 1933.

听力原文:Milk was a basic food of man long before history was written. It will probably ke

听力原文: Milk was a basic food of man long before history was written. It will probably keep on being one as long as there are animals that give milk.

Many ancient people thought that milk had great healing power. One of the most famous Greek doctors told his patients to drink milk to cure illness.

For more than two hundred years most people got their milk from their own cattle or from a nearby dairy herd. But in time new inventions made the dairy industry a big business. In 1851 Gail Borden, founder of a milk company, found a way to take some of the water out of milk. This made it keep much longer Four years later, Louis Pasteur introduced the pasteurization process. This process killed the bacteria in milk that caused it to spoil. Next, a special milk bottle was designed. This was followed by the invention of machines that could fill bottles and cap them automatically.

These discoveries had a great effect on the dairy industry. They meant that milk could be stored longer. It could be safely shipped over long distances. Preparing and distributing milk soon became a large-scale business. Recently, in a single year more than sixty billion quarts of milk were sold in the United States.

Some people believe that milk drinking will become less popular in America than it has been. But remember how long milk has been a basic food and think of the many ways in which it is useful. It seems safe to say that the milk industry will always be important.

(33)

A.It was full of energy.

B.It gave out heat.

C.It could cure illness.

D.It could keep them healthy.

听力原文:Ever since Philo T. Farnsworth assembled the first television set in his Indiana

听力原文: Ever since Philo T. Farnsworth assembled the first television set in his Indiana garage in 1927, the basic technological principles for bringing electronic pictures into the home have remained the same. There have been only two major changes in the way TV sets work: the introduction of color in 1954, and the shift from tubes to transistors in the 1970s.

Now a radical change is about to take place. Digital television—which uses a different method of signal transmission will significantly alter the way future television sets will look and perform.

The digital set, already on sale in Europe and scheduled to be introduced in the United States this fall, is a cross between a computer terminal and a TV set. Although the differences it will bring may not be dramatic, its improved quality will be increasingly appreciated, as zoom effects, stereo sound, and freeze-frame. views of live shows become commonplace. Digital TV promises to give viewers a clearer, more consistent picture than has been available so far.

(30)

A.In the later 1920s.

B.In the mid-1950s.

C.In the 1970s.

D.In the mid-1980s.

听力原文:The existence of black hole had long been predicted by theory but never confirmed

听力原文: The existence of black hole had long been predicted by theory but never confirmed.

A black hole is an extremely mysterious object. It has a gravity which is so intense that nothing, not even light, can escape from it. It can change space and time in basic ways.

A powerful X-ray stream drew the attention of scientists to the event. It is located near the center of a galaxy which is about 700 million light-years from Earth. According to the international team of scientists, gases from the star have been heated to a temperature of multimillion-degree when they were drawn toward the black hole. Thus a strong wind is produced.

Scientists said a star about the size of our sun was coming close to the black hole. The big gravity of the black hole pulled the star to the point of breaking. It is estimated to have a gravity 100 million times that of our sun.

The effect is similar to the dragging force the moon has on the Earth's oceans, but is much more violent. The black hole has observed to have eaten up about 1 percent of the star. It seems that this unlucky star has just entered the wrong neighborhood.

Scientists have seen other similar X-ray streams before, but never were able to locate them at the center of a galaxy, where black holes may exist. The new observations also found that a black hole is always surrounded by X-rays.

(33)

A.It has an intense gravity.

B.It can change space and time in basic ways.

C.Nothing can escape from it.

D.It has been predicted by theory but never confirmed.
