M: Then what happened？
W:A few days after arriving in Los Angeles. (19)one passenger died, and 74 others were seriously ill.
M: What is the reason for that？
W: According to Dr. Phillips, it was the highest single outbreak of cholera in the United States this century, and the airline passengers were the victims of this new epidemic of cholera, a disease not seen in Latin America since 1895. they were just a few of the more than one million people affected in the 20th centuries, including at least 10,000 who died in the following three years after 1991.
M: (19)Cholera？ To the best of my understanding, that disease has been dead for some time now.
W: (19)But it has come back. Dr. Phillips says that cholera is by no means the only old infections on the comeback, and it is just one of the major infections that are fighting back fiercely against man's attempts to control them.
M: (19)But what are the reasons for the comeback of so many dead diseases？
W: Phillips says a single reason can't explain why a new disease appears or an old one returns, and usually a combination of factors are involved.
M: What kind of specific factors？
W: In his book Plagues on Our Doorstep Dr. Phillips presents some reasons.
M: What are they？
W: First, (21) international travel and commerce. The cholera abroad flight 386 and mosquitoes living in imported tries are examples of these. Second, (21) technology and industry. For example, the technology in Britain's processing industry was a likely contributor to the emergence of mad cow disease. Third, (21)the breakdown of public health measures. Declining health resources have resulted in the erosion of once highly-valued health service.
M: Well, that's just unbelievable!
(20)
A．An air crash to Los Angeles.
B．A book written by a doctor.
C．A disease on the comeback and its reasons

第2题
M: Well, there's good news for buyers. Prices won't increase. In fact, they'll fall slightly. There are different reasons for this. One is that it won't be so easy to borrow money. A second reason is that there are still a lot of empty new houses on the market.
W: I see. And what about food prices？ Will they fall too？
M: I'm afraid not. You see, inflation will increase, so consumer prices will rise too. I think we can expect a 3% rise in prices.
W: Some economists say that unemployment will rise. Are you one of these people？
M: No, I'm not. I think it'll decrease. Trade with other countries has improved dramatically over the past year. And the increase in demand for goods means that there will be more jobs.
W: Well, if unemployment falls, can we expect wages to fall too？
M: No, no. The average wage will increase. Not very much, I'm afraid, but there will be a slight increase.
W: One financial question, Mr. Green. What will happen to petrol prices？ Will they increase or decrease next year？
M: That's a very difficult question to answer because we don't know what'll happen in the oil producing countries. I have a feeling that prices will go down. However, I could be wrong!
W: Mr. Green, thank you very much for your time.
M: My pleasure.
(20)
A．Housing costs.
B．Average wage.
C．Unemployment.
D．Oil prices.
第3题
W: Because they have to, legally I mean.
M: Exactly! In this case the reason is obvious, so we usually don't question it. But when the reason is not so obvious and especially when the behavior. could have negative consequences we'll more likely to feel a need to explain the causes of the behavior. Social psychologists have a term for this, for the process of explaining the causes of the behavior, it's called "causal attribution". And one theory suggests, there's a pattern in the way we go about attributing causes to people's behavior. According to this theory, there are two categories of reasons: internal factors and external factors. Again, Lisa, say you're driving down the road and all of a sudden some guy turns into the lane right in front of you, and you have to slam on your brakes to avoid an accident. How do you react？
W: I'll probably get very angry.
M: Because...
W: Well, he's not paying attention, he's a bad driver.
M: So you automatically attribute the driver's behavior. to an internal factor. He himself is to blame because he is careless.
W: So if I said it was because of heavy traffic or something, I'd be attributing his behavior. to an external factor, something beyond his control.
M: Good. Now how do we usually explain our own negative behavior？
W: We blame external factors.
M: That's right.
(23)
A．Common causes of anger.
B．Judging people's behavior.
C．Changing people's attitudes.
D．The effects of negative behavior.

W: And London？
M: London, which was number two, won't even be in the top ten. Its population in 1950 was about 10 million.
W: Why is this happening？ Why are people moving to tile big cities from the country in developing countries？
M: The reasons are complex but many are moving to look for jobs. And the problems this creates are enormous. Just imagine the kinds of difficulties this is going to cause in terms of health, transport and education.

Well, Tokyo was number three in 1950; at the beginning of the next century, its population will increase by 18 million, three times of the year 1950.Looking at the other major cities in Asia, Shanghai and Seoul will be in the top ten as well but, perhaps surprisingly, not Beijing or Hong Kong.

第9题
M: Well, the biggest change has been the decrease in sales since the great boom years of the 1980s when champagne production and sales reached record levels.
W: Which was the best year？
M: Well, the record was in 1989 when 249 million bottles of champagne were sold. The highest production level was reached in 1990 with a total of 293 million bottles. Of course since those boom years, sales have fallen.
W: Has the market been badly hit by the recession？
M: Oh, certainly. The economic problems in champagne's export markets, that's Europe, the United States, Japan, and of course, the domestic market in France. The economic problems have certainly been one reason for the decrease in champagne sales.
W: And the other reasons？
M: Another important factor has been price. In the early 90s, champagne was very overpriced, so many people stopped buying it. Instead, they bought sparkling wines from other countries, in particular, from Australia, and Spain. And then, there was another problem for champagne in the early 90s.
W: What was that？
M: There was a lot of rather bad champagne on the market. This meant the popularity of good sparkling wines increased even more. People were surprised by their quality, and of course they were a lot cheaper than champagne.
W: Do you think the champagne market will recover in the future？
M: Oh, I'm sure it will. When the economic situation improves, I believe the market will recover.
(20)
A．It saw the end of its booming years worldwide.
B．Its production and sales reached record levels.
C．It became popular in some foreign countries.
D．Its domestic market started to shrink rapidly.
第10题
W: Last year I visited Europe. It was interesting to see the ancient ruins there, too.
M: When I look at our country's history, I begin to sense what a young country the States really is.
W: Yes. There are many countries whose histories were ancient when ours was just beginning.
M: The first English settlers arrived in America about the time the last Chinese dynasty began.
W: I believe one reason America has been able to be so successful in so many aspects is that it had no ancient traditions to bind it down.
M: Why would you say that？ The settlers to America came from countries all over the world and must have brought their traditions with them.
W: Yes, they did and those traditions have enriched the American heritage; however, their purpose in coming to this new country was so they could make a change from the way they were living. Most immigrants to America were penniless. They came here to take advantage of a new way of life.
M: Sometimes I think we ignore the history of the native people encountered here in the Americas, both North and South.
W: Well, that's true. I've noticed, however, that the remains of civilizations in North America don't appear to be as ancient as those found in Mexico or Central and South America.
M: Those civilizations must have been as ancient as what I saw in China. They didn't have an influence on the modern countries, though. Why is that？
W: It's because those were dead civilizations. For some reasons, the traditions from those civilizations did not carry on to the surviving natives of the land.
M: Do you think that's the reason, or is it that the immigrants who exerted authority over the natives were able to suppress their traditions？
W: I would think both are explanations.
(20)
A．Chinese ancient history.
B．European history.
C．American native civilization.
D．American history.
