听力原文： Cross was what people call a mystery man. We had known him for over five years, ever since he became a member of our modest club, but he had a way of keeping his private life to himself in all but unessential details. We knew his address, though he did not ever invite us to his home, and his age too, but only insignificant matters of this kind. It appeared that he did not have to work for a living as we did in our various ways. He had once hinted at an inheritance on which he managed to live comfortably. He was not, however, a man of luxurious habits: he was not especially well-dressed and he did not even possess a car. At the age of forty-five he was still a bachelor. Since marriage was not a subject he ever discussed, we had no means of finding out whether he regretted the lack of a wife.

Cross disappeared abruptly from our circle and shortly after we came to learn the first really solid facts about our mystery man. From reports that appeared in the newspapers, accompanied by photographs of man who was, without any doubt, our Mr. Cross, it was revealed that he was a most accomplished burglar, operating chiefly in the London area. He had practised this profession for many years, until he was arrested and sent to prison.

(34)

A．Because he didn't tell us his address.

B．Because he didn't tell us his age.

C．Because he didn't invite us to his home.

D．Because he kept his private life a secret.

听力原文： Everywhere we look，we see Americans running. They run for every reason anybody could think of. They run for health，for beauty，to lose weight，to keep fit，and because it is the thing they love to do. Every year， for example，thousands of people run in one race，the Boston Marathon，the best known long distance race in the United States. In recent years there have been nearly 5，000 official competitors and it takes three whole minutes for the crowd of runners just to cross the starting line.

You may have heard the story of the Greek runner，Pheidippides. He ran from Marathon to Athens to deliver the news of the great victory 2，500 years ago. No one knows how long it took him to run the distance. But the story tells us that he died of the effort. Today no one will die in a Marathon race. But at the finish line，we see what this race is about；not being first，hut finishing. The real victory is not over one's fellow runners，but over one's own body. It is a victory of will power over fatigue. In the Boston Marathon，each person who crosses that finish line is a winner.

(30)

A．Three minutes.

B．Two minutes.

C．One minute.

D．Five minutes.

听力原文：（29) Tile Golden Gate Bridge joins the beautiful city of San Francisco with its

听力原文： (29) Tile Golden Gate Bridge joins the beautiful city of San Francisco with its suburbs to the north. (26)Each day, about one hundred thousand cars cross the bridge, taking people to and from the city. More than half of them cross the bridge during the morning and evening rush hours. As a result, the trip is not pleasant.

Now, however, there is at least one group of happy commuters. These are the people who travel under the bridge instead of on it. They go to work by boat and enjoy it so much that most say they will never go by car again. (29)The boat they take is the large, quite, comfortable "Golden Gate". (27)Commuters can enjoy the sun on the boat. In the morning they can have breakfast in the coffee shop, and in the evening they can have a drink in the bar while they are looking at San Francisco's famous scene and the nearby hills.

The trip takes only thirty minutes and is not very expensive. And what's more, being on a boat seems to make people feel more friendly towards each other. Two commuters who met on the "Golden Gate" have already got married.

Because the boat has been so successful, there are plans to use other, still larger boats. There is also a plan for a high speed boat that will make the trip in only fifteen minutes. (28)Not everyone is happy about that. "A lot of people don't want to get the trip faster," said one commuter. "They feel that half an hour is just enough time to rest."

(33)

A．Because the trip takes as long as 30 minutes.

B．Because the bridge is too long.

C．Because the bridge is crowded with cars.

D．Because the drivers can't enjoy the beauty there.

听力原文：W: Well, did you get to find out about tile trains？

M: Yes, I've got the leaflets here. And you got the coaches ,did you？

W: Yes, look, I've just worked it out.

M: Well, that's OK. There are trains all day, according to this. Here, there's one leaving King Cross at 8:00 in the morning.

W: (22) Oh, goodness no. That would mean getting up at 6: 00. Count me out for that one, when's the next？

M: 10 o'clock. Leaves Kings Cross at 10 o'clock, gets into Aberdeen at 17: 21. Not bad. Seven hours and a bit on the way. It's 530 miles, after all.

W: I suppose it's very expensive, isn't it？

M: No, (23) what about going by plane？

W: You know how I feel about flying.

M: What about the coaches？ (24) But can you imagine being stuck in a bus for twelve hours？ At least on the train you can get up and walk about a bit, you know, stretch your legs.

W: All right, then, you do better. Find me a nice cheap night train.

M: That's the trouble. There aren't any cheap tickets at night. It says so clearly here. It says the cheap tickets are valid only for trains timed to depart between 10 o'clock in the morning and 2:00 in the afternoon. Mum, here it is, not valid for sleepers.

W: (25) That's why the Day, Savers are cheap, you see. They want people to travel at unpopular times.

(23)

A．On the train there would be no cheap tickets.

B．The company is not paying their travel expenses.

C．They would have to leave home very early to catch it.

D．That train wouldn't arrive in Aberdeen until 6:00.

听力原文：Air travel is such an everyday experience these days. We are not surprised when w

听力原文： Air travel is such an everyday experience these days. We are not surprised when we read about a politician having talks with the Japanese Prime Minister one day, attending a conference in Australia the following morning and having to be off at midday to sign a trade agreement in Bangkok. But frequent long-distance flying can be very tiring. The traveler begins to feel his brain is in one country, his digestion in another and his powers of concentration nowhere. In short, he hardly knows where he is.

The fatigue we normally experience after a long journey is more intensely felt when we fly from east to west or the other way round because we cross time zones. Air travel is so quick nowadays that we can leave London after breakfast and be in New York in eight hours, yet what really disturbs us most is that when we arrive it is only lunch time but we have already had lunch on the plane and are expecting dinner.

Doctors say that since air travelers are in no condition to work after crossing a number of time zones, they should go straight to bed on arrival. Airline pilots, in fact, whose experience is so obviously relevant that it ought to serve as a guide, often live by their own watches ignoring local time, and have breakfast at midnight if necessary. The less reason to worry about their health is because they are used to flying and are physically fit.

(33)

A．Because he is a politician.

B．Because he is a businessman.

C．Because he travels by air.

D．Because he has to attend different meetings.

听力原文： One crossing of the Atlantic is very much like another; and people who cross it

frequently do not make the voyage for the sake of its interest. On the first night this time I felt especially lazy and went to bed early. When I arrived in the cabin, I was surprised to see that I was to have a companion. There was a suitcase like mine in the opposite corner. I wondered who he could be and what he would be like. Soon afterwards he came in. He was the sort of man you might meet anywhere, except that he was wearing such good clothes that I made up my mind that we would not get on well together, and did not say a single word to him.

When I woke up at mid-night, I felt cold and then realized that a current of air was coming from somewhere. I got up to shut the door but found it already locked from the inside. The cold air was coming from the window opposite. The moon shone through it onto the other bed. There was no one there. It took me a minute or two to remember locking the door myself. I realized that my companion must have jumped through the window into the sea.

(22)

A．It's very interesting.

B．It's much the same.

C．It's very tiring.

D．It's very exciting.

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.

听力原文： A few months ago, millions of people in London heard alarms all over the town. Emergency services, the Fire Department, the Police, hospitals. And ambulances stood by, ready to go into action. In railway and underground stations, people read notices and maps, which told them where to go and what to do in an emergency. This was Exercise Flood Call, to prepare people for a flood emergency. London wasn't flooded yet, but it is possible that it would be. In 1236 and in 1663, London was badly flooded. In 1928, people living in Westminster, the heart of London, drowned in floods. And in 1953, one hundred people, living on the eastern edge of the London suburbs were killed again in floods. At last, Greater London Council took action to prevent this disaster from happening again. Though a flood wall was built in the 1980s, Londoners still must be prepared for the possible disaster. If it happens, 50 underground stations will be under water. Electricity, gas and phone services will be out of action. Roads will be submerged. It will be impossible to cross any of the bridges between North and South London. Imagine: London will look like the famous Italian city, Venice. But this Exercise Flood Call didn't cause panic among Londoners. Most people knew it was just a warning. One lady said, "It's a flood warning, isn't it？ The water doesn't look nigh to me."

(31)

A．The heart of London was flooded.

B．An emergency exercise was conducted.

C．100 people in the suburbs were submerged.

D．One of the bridges between North and South London collapsed.
