听力原文：Gates was born and brought up in Seattle. At the age of 14, he founded a computer

听力原文： Gates was born and brought up in Seattle. At the age of 14, he founded a computer programming company with three friends, and they had earned ＄ 20,000 by selling their traffic-counting system to local governments. In 1975, he dropped out of his law course at Harvard to found the Microsoft Software Company in Washington. Gates' domination of the emerging computer industry began in 1980-1981, when he devised an operating system and licensed it to IBM. MS-DOS became the standard operating system for nearly all IBM personal computers. During the 1980s, Microsoft also developed more specialized software. When the company went public in 1986, Gates became a multimillionaire at the age of 31. Five years later, he was ranked as the world's richest man. In the 1990s, Gates made a fresh fortune from sales of windows, a system that enables a computer to be operated with on-screen symbols rather than complex keyboard commands. A revised was launched amid huge publicity in 1995.

听力原文：Bill Gates was born in Seattle, Washington in 1955. He co-founded Microsoft in 19

听力原文： Bill Gates was born in Seattle, Washington in 1955. He co-founded Microsoft in 1975 with Paul Allen, his high school friend and partner in computer-language development since 1967.

Fascinated by computers by the age of 12, Gates was involved with various programming projects throughout high school. While attending Harvard in 1975, Gates teamed with Allen to develop a version of the BASIC computer-programming language for the Altair, the first personal computer. As a result of this work on BASIC, Gates decided to drop out of Harvard in 1977 to work at Microsoft full-time, pursuing his vision of "a computer on every desk and in every home," the idea behind the company. In the early 1980s, Gates led Microsoft's evolution from a developer of programming languages to a diversified software company producing operating systems and applications software as well as programming tools. This transition began in 1981 with Microsoft's introduction of MS-DOS, the operating system for International Business Machines Corporation's new Personal Computer. Gates persuaded other computer manufacturers to standardize on MSDOS, fueling software compatibility and computer industry growth in the 1980s. Gates also pushed Microsoft to introduce application software, such as Microsoft Word word-processing software for the IBM PC. In a key strategic move, Gates agreed to develop application software for the Apple Macintosh prior to the release of the first Mac in 1984. This was the beginning of strong position for Microsoft in applications that take advantage of the graphical user interface.

Much of Gates' success rests on his ability to translate technical visions into market strategy, and to blend creativity with technical acumen. He is one of the few founding CEOs from the technical side of the PC industry who has also survived and thrived on the business side.

(33)

A．At the age of 20.

B．By the age of 12.

C．When he was at high school.

D．When he studied in Harvard University.

听力原文：For those of you who were born in the year of the pig, good luck and much success

听力原文： For those of you who were born in the year of the pig, good luck and much success! This is your year.

When talking to a Westerner, however, you've got to be a little careful when you talk about pigs. Chinese people view the pig as a smart and lucky animal. Western ideas tend to be a little more negative.

A pig in the West is seen as a dirty, lazy, and fat animal. If anyone ever called you a pig, you wouldn't be smiling. When a person doesn't like someone, sometimes he will call that person a pig.

If you ever meet a Westerner who was born in the year of the pig, don't say "Oh, you're a pig!" Most Westerners will be understanding. They will be sure that you made some kind of a mistake. However, don't take any chances. You might just offend someone who does not share your positive ideas about pigs.

(30)

A．Because they worship pigs best of all.

B．Because they consider pigs as bad animals.

C．Because they aren't used to talking about pigs.

D．Because they don' t like the topic about pigs at all.

The bottom of the grey Atlantic was open. Red-hot rocks, flames and smoke were rushing up from a split in the sea-bed. The island grew quickly. It was 10 meters high the next day and 60 meters high on 18th November. Scientists flew to Reykiavik to watch. It was very exciting. Smoke and flames were still rushing up. Pieces of red-hot rock were flying into the air and falling into the sea. The sea was boiling and there was a strange light in the sky. Surtsey grew and grew. Then it stopped in June 1967.
