听力原文： People always seem to be looking for ways to get rich quickly. So when gold was discovered in California in the mid 1800's, hundreds and hundreds of people rushed in, hoping to get a part of the wealth. Today, gold in California continues to have as much of an appeal as it did over one hundred years ago. Modem prospectors in the form. of mining corporations have headed back to the same area to use new techniques for locating the gold that old time prospectors left behind. These modern prospectors, however, do not have some of the problems the old timers had. Anxious to seek a fast fortune, many of those early prospectors arrived before law and order were established. And they took full advantage of this situation by cheating and robbing each other. But not every one looking for gold in those days was greedy. Some people were generous and helpful. One such person was William Waldo. He established a relief committee that collected money and supplies to help save the lives of countless people who were caught in the mountains by early snowstorms before they even reached California.

(26)

A．Better land.

B．Quick wealth.

C．Modem equipment.

D．Stricter laws.

听力原文： Americans like to laugh and make jokes, especially practical jokes. These jokes, intended to trick or deceive people in some harmless way, and are always popular. In the United States and a few other countries the first day of April, April Fool's Day, is a day devoted to such harmless practical jokes and an excuse for every American to fool his friends and neighbors.

When I was a college student, our daily college newspaper, which was read by most of the people who lived in the city near the college as well as by students, always had a special April Fool's Edition. One year the paper said that a beautiful park in the center of the campus was to be turned into a parking lot.

Another year the paper falsely reported that a Russian submarine had been seen in the lake which is on the campus. It was surprising that many people believed these stories. But probably the most successful practical being invaded by people from Mars. His description of this invasion from outer space was so realistic that he caused a panic and was actualy responsible for the deaths of several people.

(30)

A．A joke played on the April Fool's Day.

B．A harmless joke intended to trick people.

C．An American joke.

D．A joke in college newspapers.

They are never late for work; they return their books to the library on time; they remember people's birthdays and they pay their bills as soon as they arrive. (29) Mr. Brown is such a person. Mr. Brown works in a bank, and lives on his own. His sister lives in the next town with her husband, and her son, Mark. Mr. (30) Brown doesn't see his sister or her family from one year to the next, but he sends them Christmas cards, and he hasn't forgotten one of Mark's seventeen birthdays.

Last week Mr. Brown had quite a surprise. He drove home from the bank at the usual time; driving neither too slowly nor too fast, he parked his car where he always parked it, out of the way of other cars, and he went inside to make his evening meal. Just then there was a knock at tbe door. When he opened it, he found a policeman standing there. Mr. Brown asked himself.

听力原文：W: Now people are suffering more stress, especially women. I wonder what most people can do to relax themselves？

M: Well, I read of a global study about this. According to it, listening to music is what most people do to ease stress.

W: I guess, that's because we have easy access to music via radio, TV, personal CD players and so many other channels.

M: Yeah, and watching TV is listed as the next popular stress reliever, followed by taking a bath or shower.

W: Well, I've heard that it is quite popular in your country for people to consult psychologists and doctors.

M: I'm afraid that's not true. I believe only a few people think it's helpful.

W: I have noticed that our manager always looks energetic, even though he works more than 12 hours a day. Perhaps, he takes some specific medicine.

M: I know his recipe. He likes dancing and often visits bars alone so that he can dance to his heart's content.

W: So that's how it is. But when I feel anxious or exhausted, I prefer to take a walk or read a funny story.

M: That's not a bad idea. Meanwhile, you can find some other ways to relax yourself if they are suitable for you.

A．Listening to music.

B．Listening to CD players.

听力原文：Many a young person tells me he wants to be a writer. I always encourage such peo

听力原文： Many a young person tells me he wants to be a writer. I always encourage such people, but I also explain that there is a big difference between being a writer and writing. In most cases they are dreaming of wealth and fame, not the long hours alone at a typewriter. "You've got to want to write", I say to them, "not want to be a writer."

The reality is that writing is a lonely, private and poor-paying affair. For every writer kissed by fortune there are thousands more whose works are never rewarded. When I left a 20-year career in the U.S. Coast Guard to become a freelance writer, I had no prospects at all. What I did have was a friend who found me my room in a New York apartment building. It didn't even matter that it was cold and had no bathroom. I immediately bought a used typewriter and felt like a good writer.

After a year I still hadn't got a break and began to doubt myself. It was so hard to sell a story that barely made enough to eat. But I knew l wanted to write. I had dreamed about it for years. I wasn't going to be one of those people who die wondering, what if？ I would keep putting my dream to the test, even though it meant living with uncertainty and fear of failure. Anyone with a dream must learn to live there.

(30)

A．Warn young people of the hardships that a successful writer has to experience.

B．Advice young people to give up their idea of becoming a professional writer.

C．Show young people it's unrealistic for a writer to pursue wealth and fame.

D．Encourage young people to pursue a writing career.

听力原文：About a hundred years ago, the people of London were amazed to see an extraordina

听力原文： About a hundred years ago, the people of London were amazed to see an extraordinary boat come sailing up the Thames River The boat had four-cornered sails made of mats, big wooden eyes on the bow, and fantastic pictures on the stern.

It turned out to be the Keyling, an eighty-foot junk from Foochow in distant China. The junk had sailed round the Cape of Good Hope at the southern tip of Africa, up the western coast of Africa, and finally to England. The voyage had covered fifteen thousand miles-- more than half the distance round the world.

Although it was unexpected, the Keyling's voyage to London was no accident. She carried a cargo of silk and ivory, as well as a number of exotic gifts from the emperor of China, destined for Queen Victoria.

People had always mistakenly thought of the Chinese as landlubbers. From centuries of trading and seafaring in perilous seas, however, the Chinese had learned to build good boats and to sail them well. The Keyling proved that a Chinese junk could sail anywhere in the world.

(30)

A．By sailing round Europe.

B．By sailing completely round the world.

C．By sailing through the Arctic Ocean.

D．By sailing round the tip of Africa.

听力原文：M: I always feel like I need more hours from the day. Work, family...

W: I understand. Every morning I spend time looking for glasses, keys, or the other shoe.

M: Yeah, the other shoe! I've been there. But what's our mistake？

W: I think it's being disorganized. When you're disorganized, you don't know where things are. If you can stay organized, you can really save some time.

M: All right. Let's start saving time from this very minute.

W: Bank online？

M: Yes. Some people are afraid to do it but it's something smart and safe. You can talk to the service representatives about how to do it and how safe it is. Just think about writing checks, making transfers, checking statements.., you can save about 30 minutes, or even up to an hour. I've actually saved a lot of time.

W: And for library people, make a list and go online first before you actually make the trip to the library.

M: Exactly right. Reserve books online rather than go there to find the library doesn't have the book you want. You can put it in order and they will call you and let you know when it's in and then you go to get it.

W: That's brilliant. Now people who are always looking for the same phone number？

M: Highlight it in a bright color.

W: Ok. My weakness is my purse. It is the horrible bottomless pit. I don't even know what's in there.

M: Keep a pen in every purse and a zip-locked bag of note cards, so when you are waiting in line or for an appointment, you could write down notes quickly. Keep a separate pouch inside for your receipts.

(20)

A．Their busy mornings and days.

B．Advantages of staying organized.

C．Various methods of saving time.

D．Life of two disorganized persons.

听力原文： Good morning, students. I hope you have been able to read the two books about speech and hearing problems that I put on the list. Today's lecture deals with the presence of the unusually large deaf population that existed on the Massachusetts island Martha's Vine-yard for about three centuries. From the settlement of the island in the 1640s to the 20th century, the people there, who were descended from only 25 or 30 original families, married mainly other residents of the island. They formed a highly inbred group, producing an excellent example of the genetic patterns for the inheritance of deafness. Indeed in the late 1800 one out of every 25 people in one village on the island was born deaf and the island as a whole had a deafness rate at least 17 times greater than that of the rest of the United States. Even Alexander Graham Bell, the inventor of the tele- phone and a prominent researcher into hearing loss, visited Martha's Vineyard to study the population. But because of the principles of genetics a deaf parent did not always have deaf children. In the 20th century, the local population has mixed the people off the island and the rate of deafness has fallen.

(23)

A．A large number of its residents were deaf.

B．It was settled more than 300 years ago.

C．Each family living there had many children.

D．Alexander Graham Bell visited there.
