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：Thomas Edison was born in Milan, Ohio on February 11,1847. He was not an ordinary

听力原文： Thomas Edison was born in Milan, Ohio on February 11,1847. He was not an ordinary person. He was one of the greatest inventors in the history. (29)The phonograph, the light bulb, the movie camera, and sewing machine are just some of his many inventions that helped change the world.

Thomas did not go to school. His mom taught him at home. When he was twelve, he got his first job at the train station as a train boy selling candy and newspapers. He loved books and he spent all his money on them. One day while trying to catch a train, a trainman reached and grabbed him by the ears. While pulling Edison up, something cracked in his ears and right after that he began to go deaf.

When Thomas had made enough money years later, he wanted to buy a laboratory. He paid a group of scientists to think of inventions and see if the inventions would work. That setup worked so well that other companies did this too. (31)Now today every company and university in the whole world has a research department, and it all began with Edison's research group.

He is most famous for the invention of the electric light bulb. (30) He had burned himself with candles so many times when he read; he wanted a way to see without a candle. It took him just over a year to invent a practical light bulb. Edison founded the Electric Light Company in 1878.

In his seventies he still worked sixteen hours a day, and was one of the most famous men in America. By the time he died at West Orange, New Jersey on October 18,1931, he had created over 1,000 inventions.

(30)

A．Telephone and the light bulb.

B．Phonograph and movie camera.

C．Sewing machine and refrigerator.

D．Movie camera and telephone.

听力原文：A lot of people are familiar with the story of Brave Gelert, a dog that faithfull

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.
