听力原文：The oldest stone buildings in the world are the pyramids. They have stood for nea

听力原文： The oldest stone buildings in the world are the pyramids. They have stood for nearly 5,000 years, and it seems likely that they will continue to stand for thousands of years yet. There are over eighty of them scattered along the banks of the Nile, some of which are different in shape from the true pyramids.

Some of the pyramids still look much as they must have done when they were built thousands of years ago. Most of the damage suffered by others has been at the hands of men who were looking for treasure or, more often, for stone to use in modern buildings. The dry climate of Egypt has helped to preserve the pyramids, and their very shape has made them less likely to fall into ruin. These are good reasons why they can still be seen today, but perhaps the most important is that they were planned to last forever.

It is practically certain that plans were made for the building of the pyramids because the plans of other large works have fortunately been preserved. However, there are no writings or pictures to show us how the Egyptians planned or built the pyramids themselves. Consequently, we are only able to guess the methods used. Nevertheless, by examining the actual pyramids and various tools which have been found, archaeologists have formed a fairly clear picture of them.

(26)

A．The weather.

B．The corrosion of the river.

C．People in search of stone as building materials.

D．Bad planning.

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.

(33)

A．New Zealand.

B．Australia.

C．Denmark.

D．Norway.

听力原文：Teaching is supposed to be a professional activity requiring long and complicated

听力原文： Teaching is supposed to be a professional activity requiring long and complicated training. The act of teaching is looked upon as a flow of knowledge from a higher source to an empty container. The student's role is one of receiving information; the teacher's role is one of sending it. However, teaching need not be the province of a special group of people nor need it be looked upon as a technical skill. Teaching can be more like guiding and helping than forcing information into a supposedly empty head. If you have a certain skill you should be able to share it with someone. All of us, from the very youngest children to the oldest members of our cultures, should come to realize our own potential as teachers. We can share what we know, however little it might be, with someone who has need of that knowledge or skill.

(26)

A．A professional activity.

B．Something special.

C．A technical skill.

D．Information.

听力原文：Started in 1636, Harvard University is the oldest of all the colleges and univers

听力原文： Started in 1636, Harvard University is the oldest of all the colleges and universities in the United States. Yale, Princeton, and Dartmouth were opened soon after Harvard. They were all started before the American Revolution made the thirteen colonies into states.

In the early years, these schools were much alike. Only young men attended college. All the students studied the same subjects and everyone learned Latin and Greek. Little was known about science then, and one kind of school could teach everything that was known about the world. When the students graduated, most of them became ministers or teachers.

In 1782, Harvard started a medical school for young men who wanted to become doctors. Later, lawyers could receive their training in Harvard Law School. In 1825, Harvard began teaching modem languages, such as French and German, as well as Latin and Greek. Soon it began teaching American history.

As knowledge increased, Harvard and other colleges began to teach many new subjects. Students were allowed to choose the subjects that interested them.

Special colleges for women were started. New state universities began to teach such subjects as farming, engineering and business. Today, there are many different kinds of colleges and universities. Most of them are divided into smaller schools that deal with special fields of learning. There is so much to learn that one kind of school cannot offer it all.

(30)

A．How to start a university.

B．How colleges have changed in America.

C．The American Revolution.

D．The world famous colleges in America.

听力原文：Bows and arrows are one of man's oldest weapons. They gave early man an effective

听力原文： Bows and arrows are one of man's oldest weapons. They gave early man an effective weapon to kill his enemies. The ordinary bow or short bow was used by nearly all early people. This bow had limited power and short range. However, man overcame these faults by learning to track his targets at a close range. The long bow was most likely discovered when someone found out that a five-foot piece of wood made a better bow than a three-foot piece. Hundreds of thousands of these bows were made and used for three hundred years. However, not one is known to survive today. We believe that a force of about one hundred pounds was needed to pull the string all the way back on a long bow. For a long time the bow was just a bent stick and string. In fact, more changes have taken place in a bow in the past 25 years than in the last 7 centuries. Today, bow is forceful. It is as exact as a gun. In addition, it requires little strength to draw the string. Modem bows also have precise aiming devices. In indoor contests, perfect scores from 40 yards are common. The invention of the bows itself ranks with discovery of fire and the wheel. It was a great step forward for man.

(26)

A．Because it did not shoot far.

B．Because it did not bend easily.

C．Because it was too heavy.

D．Because its string was short.

听力原文：Yale University is a private university. It was founded in 1701 and is the third

听力原文： Yale University is a private university. It was founded in 1701 and is the third oldest university in the United States. Yale University was named in honor of a wealthy British, Elihu Yale, who had made a series of donations to the school. Yale's initial lessons emphasized classical studies.

Yale is highly selective in its admissions and is among the nation's most highly rated schools in terms of academic and social prestige. It includes Yale College for undergraduate, the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences, and 10 professional schools.

Yale's Sheffield Scientific School, began in the 1850s, was one of the leading scientific and engineering centers in the nation until the 20th century. A graduate school of arts and sciences was organized in 1847. Schools of music, forestry, nursing, drama, management, and architecture were subsequently established. Women were first admitted to the graduate school in 1892, but the university did not become fully coeducational until 1969.

The Yale University Library, with more than 10.5 million volumes, is one of the largest in the United States. Yale's extensive art gallery, the first in an American college, was established in 1832 when John Trumbull donated a gallery to house his paintings of the American Revolution.

Yale's graduates have included U.S. Presidents William Howard Taft, Gerald R. Ford, George Bush, and William J. (Bill) Clinton; political leader John C. Calhoun; and inventor Eli Whitney.

(31)

听力原文：Were you the first or the last child in you family？ Or were you a middle or an on

听力原文： Were you the first or the last child in you 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 strongwilled. They are very likely to be successful. 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 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. 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 this idea of 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.

(26)

A．They strongly believe in family rules.

B．They are very likely to succeed in life.

C．They tend to take responsibility for themselves.

D．They are in the habit of obeying their parents.

听力原文： Manhattan Island is surrounded on the east by the East and Harlem Rivers and on

the west by the North and Hudson Rivers. It links with the other four towns which make up New York City and with New Jersey by means of subways, underground tunnels and bridges which lead into Manhanttan from the surrounding area.

The Brooklyn Bridge was the first suspension bridge to link Brooklyn to Manhanttan. It is also the second oldest bridge in New York. The architect was John Augustus Roebling, who was the chief engineer of the suspended Railroad Bridge at Niagara Falls.

Mis, fortune accompanied the building of the bridge, which took place from 1869 to 1883. The architect died as a result of an accident early during the construction. His son, Washington Roebling, carried on his father's work, using the most advanced engineering techniques of the day. He also fell ill during the construction of the bridge and was obliged to direct the work on it from an apartment window overlooking the site.

Since its construction the Brooklyn Bridge has remained a busy and important passage in New York. The Brooklyn Bridge is 6775 feet long and 1595 feet wide. The suspended part is 3450 feet long and 85 feet wide. It has a clearance of 133 feet above water level. Four huge cables extend across the bridge, supported by two towers, each 272 feet high. Each of these cables is made up of 5700 wires.

(30)

A．It is the first oldest bridge in New York.

B．It is the first suspension bridge built in the USA.

C．It is the first suspended railway bridge in the USA.

D．It is the first suspension bridge between Manhattan Island and Brooklyn.

听力原文：M: Where do you get your ideas from, Mrs. Rowling？W: Where the idea for Harry Pot

听力原文：M: Where do you get your ideas from, Mrs. Rowling？

W: Where the idea for Harry Potter came from I really couldn't tell you. I was traveling on a train between Manchester and London and it just popped into my head. I spent four hours thinking about what Hogwarts would be like. By the time I got off at King's Cross many of the characters in the books had already been invented.

M: Are any of the characters in the books based on real people？

W: Tricky question! Hermione Granger is a little bit like I was at her age. Ron is little bit like my oldest friend and Professor Shape is a lot like one of my old teachers.

M: How long have you been writing？

W: Nearly all my life. I had written two novels before I had the idea for Harry, though I'd never tried to get them published.

M: Did you expect the Harry books to be this successful？

W: Never. I didn't expect lots of people to like them, in fact, I never really thought much apart from getting them published.

M: Any clues about the next book？

W: I don't want to give anything away, but I can tell you that the books are getting darker... Harry potter's going to have quite a bit to deal with as he gets older. Sorry if they get too frightening!

M: Thanks for your help.

W: You're welcome.

(20)

A．Remarking on the film of Harry Potter.

B．Interviewing a successful woman writer.

C．Talking about their traveling experience on a train.

D．Asking the woman to do him a favor.
