听力原文：Moods, say the experts, are feelings that are likely to be fixed, having effects

听力原文： Moods, say the experts, are feelings that are likely to be fixed, having effects on one's outlook for hours, days, weeks or even years. That's great if your mood is a pleasant one, but it will be a problem if you are sad, anxious, angry or simply lonely.

Perhaps the best way to deal with such moods is to talk them out; sometimes, though, there is no one to listen. Modem pharmacy offers a lot of anti-anxiety drugs. What many people don't realize, however, is that scientists have discovered the effectiveness of several non-drug methods to make you free from an unwanted mood. These can be just as useful as drugs, and have the added benefit of being non-poisonous. So next time you feel out of sorts, don't head for the drug store—try the following method.

Of all the mood-changing self-help techniques, aerobic exercise seems to be the best cure for a bad mood. "If you could keep the exercise, you'd be in high spirits," says Kathryn Lance, author of Running for Health and Beauty. Researchers have explained biochemical and various other changes that make exercise seem preferable to drugs as a mood-raiser. Physical work such as housework, however, does little. The key is aerobic exercise—running, cycling, walking, swimming, or other repetitive activities that increase the heart rate and circulation, and improve the consumption of oxygen. You may do them for at least 20 minutes a time, three to five times a week.

(30)

A．They affect one's way of looking at the world.

B．They make people feel lonely and unwanted.

C．They affect one's health condition.

D．They are addictive and hard to change.

听力原文： Are you afraid to raise your hand in class, even when you know the answer？ If you are, most people would say that you're shy.

If you feel shy, you're not alone. Nine out of ten people are at least a little shy. But however shy you are, evidence seems to show that it isn't your fault. You may have been born that way.

How do psychologists measure shyness？ One way is by observation. They keep detailed records of people's actions—like how often these people speak to others, or how long it takes someone to say hello to a stranger.

Another way to measure shyness is to ask people questions. The test only takes about 10 minutes. It asks questions like "Do you like going out a lot？" and "Do you have many friends？" people must answer either yes or no. These questions can predict how people actually behave in social situations.

Suppose the test tells you that someone is sky. Chances are good that that person will act shy.

When Scientists measure shyness ,they're ally comparing degrees of shyness. In other words, when researchers say people are shy, they really mean they are more shy than others.

(29)

A．Because many people don't know how to behave in social situations.

B．Because most people are shy by nature.

C．Nobody will laugh at you for being shy.

D．Shyness is difficult to overcome.

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：[29] To be a good teacher, you need some of the gifts of a good actor -- the key

听力原文： [29] To be a good teacher, you need some of the gifts of a good actor -- the key point is that you must know how to hold the attention and interest of your audience. Watch a good teacher, and you will see that he does not sit motionless before his class: he stands the whole time while teaching; he walks about, using his arms, hands and fingers to help him in his explanations, and his face to express feelings.

Listen to him, and you will hear the loudness, the quality and the musical note of his voice always changing according to what he is talking about. [29] However, all this doesn't mean that he will indeed be able to act well on the stage, for there are very important differences between the teacher's work and the actor's. The actor has to speak words which he has learnt by heart; he has to repeat exactly the same words each time he plays a certain part. What he has to do is to make all these carefully learnt words and actions seem natural on the stage. A good teacher works in quite a different way. [31] His audience takes an active part in his play; they ask and answer questions, they obey orders, and if they don't Understand something, they say so. [30] The teacher therefore has to suit his act to the need of his audience, which is his class. He cannot learn his part by heart, but must invent it as he goes along.

(4)

A．How to become an ordinary teacher.

B．What a good teacher should do.

C．What teachers and actors could learn from each other.

D．The similarities and differences between a teacher's work and an actor's.

听力原文： (29)Cancer is the second leading cause of death after heart disease.

Death rates for both diseases are falling. But researchers say the rate for heart disease is falling faster. As a result, an American Cancer Society report shows that cancer now kills more Americans under the age of eighty-five than any other cause.

Some cancers can be prevented or treated, especially if found early. Cancer is the name for a group of diseases. All involve the uncontrolled growth and spread of cells that are not normal. Cell growth and division are controlled by genes. (30) Some cancers are linked to family genetics. Pollution and chemicals can also raise a person's risk of cancer.

The report shows that in recent years, cancer rates in the United States have dropped about one percent per year. Lung, colon, breast and prostate cancer make up more than half of all the cases. For men, prostate cancer is the most common. For women, it is breast cancer. Rates of both have continued to increase, but more slowly than in the past.

Smoking causes about one-third of all cancer deaths. Poor diet and a lack of exercise are blamed for another third in the United States.

(31) The American Cancer Society says cancer deaths worldwide could increase nearly one hundred percent in the next twenty years. Yet most could be avoided. The report calls tobacco use "the number one cause of cancer and the number one cause of preventable death throughout the world. "

Hepatitis and other infections will cause an estimated seventeen percent of new cancers worldwide this year. (32) Such cancers are especially common in developing countries, and many of these cases can also be prevented.

29．What is the first leading cause of death？

30.What can be learned about cancers from the passage？

31.What does the American Cancer Society say about cancer？

32.What do we learn about cancers in developing countries'？

(33)

A．Heart disease.

C．Smoking.

听力原文： A new enemy is threatening Japanese traditions: leisure. [29] As part of its attempt to increase imports, the government is trying to get people to work less and spend more. The workers are disgusted.

The figures support the western prejudice that the Japanese are all work and no play. Trying to force workers away from their desks and machines, the government said last April that the country should cut down from its 2,100 hours average work year to 1,899 hours and a five-day week. Beginning in February, banks and stock markets will be closed on Saturdays, staff of civil service will be forced out of their offices two Saturdays a month. The government hopes that others will follow that practice.

But some persuasion will be needed. Small companies are very angry about it and they fear competitors may not cut hours. The unions are no happier: they have even advertised in newspapers arguing their case against the foreign pressure that is forcing leisure upon them. [30] They say that shorter hours are a disguised pay cut. [31] The industrialists, who have no objection to the government's plans, admit that shorter hours will help them cut costs. Younger Japanese, who are supposed to be acting against their hard-working parents, show no sign of wanting time off either. But unlike older workers, they do spend money in their spare time. Not content with watching television, they dance, dress up, sit in caf6s, go to pop concerts and generally drive the leisure-industry boom. Now that they know how to consume, maybe the West can teach them to relax and enjoy themselves, too.

(30)

A．The government wants to show more concern for the health of the people.

B．The government needs to import more goods from abroad.

C．The Japanese have been working too hard.

D．The Japanese hope to change the western prejudice.

听力原文：America is growing older. Fifty years ago, only 4 out of every 100 people in the

听力原文： America is growing older. Fifty years ago, only 4 out of every 100 people in the United States were 65 or older. Today, 10 out of every 100 Americans are over 65. The aging of the population will affect American society in many ways — education, medicine and business.

Quietly, the graying of America has made us a very different society — one in which people have a quite different idea of what kind of behavior. is suitable at various ages. A person's age no longer tells you anything about his / her social position, marriage or health. There's no longer a particular year in which one goes to school or goes to work or gets married or starts a family. The social clock that kept us on time and told us when to go to school, get a job, or stop working isn't as strong as it used to be. It doesn't surprise us to hear of a 29-year-old university president or a 35-year-old grandmother, or a 70-year-old man who has become a father for the first time.

Public ideas are changing. Many people say, "I am much younger than my mother or my father was at my age". No one says "Act your age" anymore. We've stopped looking with surprise at older people who act in youthful ways.

Questions 29 to 31 are based on the passage you have just heard.

29. What is the percentage of people above 65 in America today？

30. What can we know from the passage？

31. What does the passage imply？

(30)

A．4%.

B．10%.

C．14%.

D．25%.
