听力原文：M: What did you do to celebrate your birthday？
W: My friends took me to see Cirque du Soleil. What a show! It was unlike anything I had ever seen before. The performances were mesmerizing-- they were art!
M: Wow, it sounds like you really enjoyed yourself. What distinguishes Cirque du Soleil from other circuses？
W: It simply has class. The acts have a certain style. that you don't see in other circuses. There is soft, romantic lighting and fantastic music which ranges from classical to jazz. But, what really sets the circus apart is the costumes with their beautiful fabrics, rich colors and fairy tale designs.
M: It sounds amazing, but I always feel a little guilty when I go to the circus. It seems so creel to use animals for our entertainment.
W: Cirque du Soleil doesn't believe in using animals. They rely on human performers including acrobats, trapeze artists and contortionists.
M: That's wonderful. I wish other circuses would do the same.
W: And the human performances are much more fun. There was one clown who actually juggled eight wine glasses at one time. I couldn't believe it. There was also a magician who performed a series of comical tricks involving members of the audience. I loved the whole thing. You really should see them while they are in town.
M: I think I'll go this weekend.

听力原文： This is Ray McCarthy with the news. Reports are coming in of a major train crash in Japan. (32) A passenger train carrying hundreds of workers home from the center of Tokyo is reported to have hit an oncoming goods train. Both were traveling at high speed. (33) Figures are not yet available but it is believed that the death toll could be as high as 300, with hundreds more injured. Emergency and rescue services rushed to the scene. But our reporter says it will take days to clear the track and to establish the numbers of the dead and injured. There was a similar accident on the same stretch of track four years ago.
(34) There was another bomb scare in a large London store last night during late night shopping. Following a telephone call to the police from an anonymous caller, hundreds of shoppers were shepherded out of the store while roads in the area were sealed off. Police dogs spent hours searching the store for a bag which the caller claimed contained 50 pounds of explosives. Nothing was found and the store was given the all-clear by opening time this morning. A police spokesman said that this was the third bomb scare within a week and that we should all be on our guard.
And finally, the motoring organizations have issued a warning to drivers following the recent falls of snow in many parts of the country. (35) Although the falls may be slight, they say extra care is needed.

听力原文：M: Hey, Jane. What's so interesting？
W: Hi, Tom. I'm reading this fascinating article on the societies of the Ice Age.
M: (19)The Ice Age？ There weren't any societies then, just a group of people living in the cave.
W: That's what people used to think. But a new exhibit of the America museum of natural history showed Ice Age people were surprisingly advanced. You may never hear of it.
M: Oh, really？ In what ways？
W: (20)Well, Ice Age people were the inventors of language, art, and music as we know it. And they didn't live in caves, they built their own shelters.
M: What did they use to build them？ The cold weather would have killed off most of the trees so they couldn't have used wood. Of course they couldn't live in the ice blocks.
W: In some of the warmer climate, they did build the houses of wood. In other places, they used animal bones and skins or lived in natural stone shelters.
M: How did they stay warm？ Animal skin wails don't sound very sturdy(坚固的).
W: (21)Well, it says here that in the early Ice Age, they often faced the house towards south to take the advantage of the sun, a primitive sort of solar heating.
M: Hey, that's pretty smart. But when night comes, it is still a problem to keep warm.
W: They had some solution. People in the late Ice Age even insulated their homes by putting heated stones on the floor. They also have some creative ways to make their life better.
M: All these sound interesting. (22) Can I read that magazine article after you're done？ I think I can use some of the knowledge for my recent paper.
W: Yes, sure.
(23)
A．They lived in caves.
B．They traveled in groups.
C．They had an advanced language.
D．They ate mostly fruits.

听力原文：M: Is that a map？ Are you going sailing or something？
W: I wish. It's a hurricane-tracking chart. It's a map of tropical ocean areas southeast of us. It follows the development of tropical storms, even hurricanes. They develop in the Caribbean and move around the Atlantic and here on the Florida coast. We got hit a lot by those winds or rain in July or August.
M: Do you think that the tropical storm is on the way？
W: Too early to tell, but we need to be prepared. The radio mentioned possible evacuation routes.
M: Really？ It's that serious？
W: You'd better believe it. Late summer is hurricane season. The television updates locations and speeds every hour.
M: What did they say is out there now？
W: A couple of tropical depressions, two storms and two hurricanes.
M: What's the difference？
W: Wind velocity. A depression is the least serious actually, and a hurricane is the most serious.
M: How serious are the winds in hurricanes？
W: They have sustained winds of 74 mph and up.
M: What are file names on the map？
W: David, Arlene, Francisco, and Gina. You know weather forecasters give the hurricanes the names of people to make storms easy to identify.
M: I wonder what the status of the storm is now.
W: You can turn on the television; it has the best coverage. There is an update coming up in five minutes.
(23)
A．Memories of a recent storm.
B．How strong winds develop into a hurricane.
C．Weather patterns that can affect Florida.
D．Planning a summer vacation.

Questionsare based on the following passage．
One hundred years ago， "Colored" was the typical way of referring to Americans of African descent．Twenty years later， it was purposefully dropped to make way for "Negro．" By the late 1960s，that term was overtaken by "Black．" And then， at a press conference in Chicago in 1988， Jesse Jackson declared that "African American" was the term to embrace．This one was chosen because it echoed the labels of groups， such as "Italian Americans" and "Irish Americans，" that had already been
freed of widespread discrimination．
A century"s worth of calculated name changes point to the fact that naming any group is a politically freighted exercise．A 2001 study cataloged all the ways in which the term "Black" carried connotations （涵义） that were more negative than those of "African American．"
But if it was known that "Black" people were viewed differently from "African Americans，"researchers， until now， hadn"t identified what that gap in perception was derived from．A recent study， conducted by Emory University"s Erika Hall， found that "Black" people are viewed more negatively．than "African Americans" because of a perceived difference in socioeconomic status．As a result，"Black" people are thought of as less competent and as having colder personalities．
The study"s most striking findings shed light on the racial biases permeating the professional world．Even seemingly harmless details on a resume， it appears， can tap into recruiters" biases．A job application might mention affiliations with groups such as the "Wisconsin Association of African-American Lawyers" or the "National Black Employees Association，" the names of which apparently have consequences， and are also beyond their members" control．
In one of the study"s experiments， subjects were given a brief description of a man from Chicago with the last name Williams．To one group， he was identified as "African-American，" and another was told he was "Black．" With little else to go on， they were asked to estimate Mr．Williams"s salary，professional standing， and educational background．
The "African-American" group estimated that he earned about $ 37，000 a year and had a two-year college degree．The "Black" group， on the other hand， put his salary at about $ 29，000， and guessed that he had only "some" college experience．Nearly three-quarters of the first group guessed that Mr．Williams worked at a managerial level， while only 38．5 percent of the second group thought so．
Hall"s findings suggest there"s an argument to be made for electing to use "African American，"though one can"t help but get the sense that it"s a decision that papers over the urgency of continued progress．Perhaps a new phrase is needed， one that can bring everyone one big step closer to realizing Du Bois"s original， idealistic hope: "It"s not the name-it"s the Thing that counts．"
Why did Jesse Jackson embrace the term "African American" for people of African descent？ 查看材料
A.It is free from racial biases．
B.It represents social progress．
C.It is in the interest of common Americans．
D.It follows the standard naming practice．

听力原文： Were you the first or the last child in your family？ Or were you a middle or an only child？ Some people think it matters where you were born in your family. But there are different ideas about what birth order means. Some people say that oldest children are smart and strong-willed. They are very likely to be successful (29) . The reason for this is simple. Parents have a lot of time for their first child; they give him or her a lot of attention. So this child is very likely to do well. An only child will succeed for the same reason. What happens to the other children in the family？ Middle children don't get so much attention, so they don't feel that important (30) . If a family has many children, the middle one sometimes gets lost in the crowd. The youngest child, though, often gets special treatment. He or she is the baby. Often this child grows up to be funny and charming. Do you believe these ideas about birth order too？ A recent study saw things quite differently. The study found that first children believed in family rules. They didn't take many chances in their lives. They usually followed orders. Rules didn't mean as much to later children in the family. They went out and followed their own ideas. They took chances and they often did better in life (31) .
