听力原文： A lot of people are familiar with the story of Brave Gelert, a dog that faithfully defended the prince's son, but which was then killed while it was fast asleep through a terrible misunderstanding. However, only a few people know that the story is really a pack of lies. Let me explain.
About a hundred or so years ago there was a hotel owner in Wales who was fed up with business being so bad. His hotel was stuck in the middle of nowhere and hardly anyone came to stay. Then, one day, he had an idea. A famous prince called Llewellyn had lived in the area during the Middle Ages and had been keen on dogs. This is hardly surprising as hunting was extremely popular at that time. So what he did was to make up the story of the brave and faithful Gelert and how he had been killed by his ungrateful master.
Of course, people would be far more likely to believe the story if there was something they could see. So one day, the hotel keeper went to the top of a high hill and built a sort of monument from the stones he found lying around, a friend of his, who was an accountant, helped him to construct it. The "tale" soon caught on and developed a life of its own. Afterwards, people came from far and wide to see the spot where the dog was buried. Needless to say, business became very good for the hotel owner.
Questions 26 to 29 are based on the passage you have just heard.
26. According to the tale, who killed the dog？
27. How did the owner of the hotel successfully improve his business？
28. To what purpose did the hotel owner build the stone monument？
29. Which could be the best title for this passage？
(33)
A．A hotel owner.
B．A famous accountant.
C．Its master.
D．The prince's son.

The onset of the Great Depression, on the other hand, was rapidly mirrored in American literature, especially in novels, and during the ten years after the Depression started, much writing dealt with it. One of the best of these novels was John Steinbeck's The Grapes of Wrath. But the arrival of the Depression little affected Hemingway's attitudes. During the 1930s, he continued to publish novels and short stories. They dealt with a variety of subjects but customarily revealed his high view of courage. The brave did not always survive in his fiction but they lived their lives to the fullest. It was not until the late 1930s that reference to the Depression crept into Hemingway's writing and, even then, its influence was indirect.

W: Thank you.
M: Meyers, how do you describe your film？ Are you satisfied with it？
W: Well, I am happy to see it top the U.S. weekend box office. Have you seen the film？ Ha, it tells the story of Nick Marshall, a Chicago advertising executive. He acquires the power to read women's minds, not just what they say but also what he hears them think. That's amazing, isn't it？ I like the way Gibson interprets his role.
M: Yeah, Marshall regards himself as a gift to women. I saw the movie. Then why do you choose Mel Gibson？ We know, audiences usually see him playing a man with a strong typical man side, such as in his previous action movies like “Brave Heart”, while “What Women Want” is what you termed as an old-fashioned romantic comedy.
W: You are right．That's precisely why I choose him. Gibson has been known as a joker on the set and a fan of silly comedy, but has not done many romantic comedies. I just want him to display his“feminine”potential in“What Women Want”. And I am grateful to see that he has done a good job.
M: What do you want audiences to learn from this film？
W: About Women. We should learn about women. They are individuals. What they appreciate is when you make the effort, even if you are not quite getting something they say.
(23)
A．Movie on Display.
B．Movie on the Show.
C．Best-selling Movie.
D．Shining Movie Stars.

听力原文： Some people hate everything that is modern. They cannot imagine how anyone can really like modern music; they find it hard to accept the new fashions in clothing; they think that all modern painting is ugly; and they seldom have a good word for the new buildings that are being built everywhere in the world. Such people look for perfection in everything, and they take their standards of perfection from the past. They are usually impatient with anyone who is brave enough to experiment with new materials or to express himself or the age in original ideas. It is, of course, true that many artists do not succeed in their work and instead produce works that can only be considered as failures. If the work of art is a painting, the artist's failure concerns himself alone, but if it is a building, his failure concerns others too, because it may damage the beauty of the whole place. This does sometimes happen, but it is completely untrue to say, as some people do, that modern architecture is nothing.
We can't judge every modern building by the standards of the ancient time, even though we admire the ancient buildings. Technologically, the modern buildings are more advanced. The modern architect knows he should learn from the ancient works, but with his greater resources of knowledge and materials, he will never be content to imitate the past. He is too proud to do that.
(30)
A．Because they are aged.
B．Because they find it hard to accept modern things.
C．Because they take their standards of perfection from the Greek.
D．Because they look at things by the standards of the past.

M: Actually, he was both highly intelligent and very rich. At first, Frida's father was against her marrying Diego because he was from an infamous family. But later on he agreed to it because he couldn't pay his daughter's medical expenses any more. Frida must have spent a fortune on doctors and operations over the years.
W: Oh, yes, what a terrible life first polio and then that awful accident. It's amazing she produced so many paintings, isn't it？
M: Yes, she must have been an incredibly brave woman.
W: But the marriage didn't work out too well, did it？
M: Well, it had its ups and downs.
W: She painted this one with the cropped hair while they were separated, didn't she？
M: Yes, that's right.
W. She really looked like a man here. In fact, she looked as if she's got a moustache! And why was she dressed in a man's suit？ I thought it might have had something to do with women's liberation. You know she cut off her hair to symbolize equality or something.
M: Er, no the reason she cut off her hair and put on a man's suit is because Diego Rivera loved her long hair, and also loved the traditional women's Mexican dresses she used to wear. She did it to hurt him.
(23)
A．An actress.
B．A writer.
C．A teacher.
D．A painter.

Born in poverty as a factory caretaker's son, he delighted in malting discoveries among his roots: trinkets(小装饰品) found at his family's ruined estate, a Polish coat of arms. His house outside Moscow was notable not for pet wolves or other fashionable extravagances, but for his brave attempts to create a weedless, stripy English lawn in a hostile climate. He flew a Russian flag there too, scandalizing the neighbors, who insisted he needed a permit.
It was not a great success. Like several other reformers of the time, he had a firmer grasp of economics than of politics: he was too unworldly, too impatient and perhaps too clever for the dark world of Russian government. Even so, he helped to create, almost from scratch, a Western-style. financial system with capital markets, payments systems and a semi-independent central bank. Despite the wholesale theft-by-privatization that followed, these achievements look more impressive now than they did in the chaos of the time.
Once out of office, Mr. Fyodorov published, among other books, a useful encyclopedia of financial terms. Some were recovered from pre-revolutionary Russian, others were new words. As a Russian patriot, however, he hated the practice of simply adapting an English word. Ofshorky (offshore accounts离岸账户) was a pet hate, particularly because of its association with tax evasion. As head of the tax service, briefly, in 1998, he tried to decriminalize tax collecting, already well on its way to becoming an extortion excuse, and also to broaden its reach to the rich and powerful -- many of them all too familiar with ofshorky. Bravely, he set his inspectors on such prominent figures as Vladimir Zhirinovsky, a funny extremist with connections to Russia's rulers. He also tried to scare bankers into paying taxes on their salaries (amounting to ＄5 billion a year, he thought) and their local landlords into declaring the rents extracted from such foreigners (＄1 billion).
Mr. Fyodorov had by this time also gone into business, founding United Financial Group, an investment bank, with an American friend in 1994. Yet neither wealth, connections, nor the flashing blue tight on his black car (a hallmark of status in Russia) made Mr. Fyodorov quite typical of the elite that moved so smoothly from burying communism to hugging capitalism red in tooth and claw. On the contrary, he despised such people for their lack of hesitation.
Which of the following may cater for Boris Fyodorov more according to the passage？
A．Spending a summer holiday in the sunny Mediterranean.
B．Visiting some places that symbolize the continuity of history.
C．Viewing magnificent buildings with fashionable extravagances.
D．Visiting English country churches of modern flavor.
