听力原文：Large modern cities are too big to control. They impose their own living conditio

听力原文： Large modern cities are too big to control. They impose their own living conditions on the people who inhabit them. City-dwellers are obliged by their environment to adopt a wholly unnatural way of life. They lost touch with the land and rhythm of nature. It is possible to live such an air-conditioned existence in a large city that you are barely conscious of the seasons. A few flowers in a public park(if you have the time to visit it) may remind you that it is spring or summer. A few leaves clinging to the pavement may remind you that it is autumn. Beyond that, what is going on in nature seems totally irrelevant. All the simple, good things of life like sunshine and fresh air are at a premium. Tall buildings blot out the sun. The traffic fumes pollute the atmosphere.

Even the distinction between day and night is lost. The flow of traffic goes on unceasingly and the noise never stops.

(33)

A．The people are not in regular communication with the rhythm of nature.

B．The people can't enjoy sunshine and fresh air.

C．Modern cities offer better schools, more chances of employment.

D．Traffic fumes pollute the air.

听力原文： Architecture is to building as literature is to the printed word. The best buildings are often so well constructed that they outlast their original use. They then survive not only as beautiful objects, but as documents of the history of cultures. These achievements are never wholly the work of individuals. Architecture is a social art.

The revival of classical culture brought about an entirely new age, not only in philosophy and literature but in the visual arts as well. In architecture, the principles and styles of ancient Greece and Rome were brought back to life and reinterpreted. They remained dominant until the 20th century.

Many kinds of stone are used as building materials. Stone and marble were chosen for important monuments because they are not burnable and can be expected to endure. Stone architecture was often blended with stone sculpture. The use of stone has declined, however, because a number of other materials are more adaptable to industrial use.

The complexity of modern life calls for a variety of buildings. More people live in mass housing and go to work in large office buildings; they spend their income in large shopping centres, send their children to many different kinds of schools, and when they are sick they go to specialized hospitals and clinics. All these different types of buildings accumulated experiences needed by their designers.

By the middle of the 20th century, modern architecture, which was influenced by new technology and mass production, was dealing with increasingly complex social needs. Important characteristics of modern architectural works are expanses of glass and the use of reinforced concrete.

(30)

A．A government document.

B．A literary work.

C．A social art.

D．An individual's creation.

听力原文：The term "satellite city" is used to describe the relationship between a large ci

听力原文： The term "satellite city" is used to describe the relationship between a large city and neighboring smaller cities and towns that are economically dependent upon it. Satellite cities may be collection and distribution points in the commercial linkages of a trading metropolis, or they may be manufacturing or mining centres existing with one-industry economies as the creatures of some nearby centre. This latter form. is what is generally meant when one uses the term "satellite city". Taken in this sense, nineteenth century Chicopee and Lowell, Massachusetts, were satellites of Boston. Both were mill towns created by Boston investors to serve the economy of that New England metropolis. Located on cheap land along water power sites in the midst of a farming region that could supply sufficient labor, they were satellites in the fullest sense of the term. Pullman, Illinois, and Gary, Indiana, were likewise one-industry towns created in conjunction with the much broader economy of nearby Chicago. Such places, as Vera Schlakman and Stanley Buder have pointed out in their excellent urban biographies, had a one-dimensional quality, a lack of social vigor. These cities could not stand alone; they were in a sense colonies of a multifunctional mother city.

(30)

A．It is a self-sufficient community.

B．It offers cheap land to people.

C．It tends to concentrate on a single product.

D．It lies within a space station orbiting the earth.

听力原文：In many parts of the world, farmers and their families live in villages or towns.

听力原文： In many parts of the world, farmers and their families live in villages or towns. In the United States, however, each farm family lives on its own fields, often beyond the sight of any neighbors. Instead of traveling from a village to the fields every morning, American farmers stay on their land throughout the week. They travel to the nearest town on Saturdays for shopping or on Sundays for church. The children ride on buses to large schools which serve all of the farm families living in the area. In some areas, there are small schools serving a few farm families, and the children walk to school.

Of course life keeps changing for everyone, including farmers. Today there are cars, good roads, radios, and television sets. And of course there are modern machines for farming. All of these have changed farm life.

For many years, however, farming in America was often a lonely way of living. Farmers had to deal with their own problems, instead of getting help from others. They learned to try new methods, and to trust their own ideas instead of following older ways.

(30)

A．They live in bigger houses.

B．They live in villages or in towns.

C．Each family lives on its own fields.

D．They use modern machines in farming.

听力原文： In western culture music is regarded as good by birth, and sounds that are welcome are said to be "music to the ears". In some other cultures for example, Islamic culture-- it is of low value, associated with sin and evil. In the West and in the high cultures Asia, it is said that there are three types of music. First, classical music, composed and performed by trained professionals originally under the support of courts and religious establishments; second, folk music, shared by the population at large and passed on orally; and third, popular music, performed by professionals, spread through radio, television, records, films, and print, and consumed by the urban mass public.

t universal use of music is as a part of religious ritual. Another less obvious function of music is social adherence. Music also symbolizes military, patriotic and funeral moods and events. In a more general sense, music may express the central social values of a society. In western music, the interrelationship of conductor and orchestra symbolizes the need for strong cooperation among various kinds of specialists in a modern industrial society.

(30)

A．In Asian culture.

B．In Islamic culture.

C．In western culture.

D．In ancient culture.

听力原文： According to Alvin Toffler, author of the best seller Future Shock, （32)America

听力原文： According to Alvin Toffler, author of the best seller Future Shock, (32)America has become a throwaway society. (33)Cardboard milk containers and rockets are only two examples. Such products are created for short-term or one-time use. They are becoming more numerous and more important to modern living. Toffler thinks that man's relationships with things will grow increasingly temporary.

As proof of this trend, Toffler cites such products as disposable diapers, (33)bibs, paper napkins and non-returnable bottles. Vegetables are encased in plastic sacks. They can be dropped into a pan of boiling water and thrown away after the meal. TV dinners are cooked in throwaway trays. They are even served in them.

All these things are quickly used up. Then they are ruthlessly eliminated. In Toffler's view, the American home has become little more than a large processing plant.

(35)Toffler further believes that his countrymen are developing values to go with their throwaway products. (34)He says that easy disposability leads to shorter man-thing relationships. People were once linked with a few objects for a long time. Now they are linked with a series of objects for a brief period. So the relationship between them is not so long and it's hard for people to have the deep feeling to something. Because after one time. they'll be thrown away.

(33)

A．Introduce Alvin Toffler's best seller Future Shock.

B．Discuss the throwaway problem in America.

C．Analyze the relationship between men and things.

D．Describe the throwaway products made in USA.

听力原文： The oldest stone buildings in the world are the pyramids. They have stood for nearly 5,000 years, and it seems likely that they will continue to stand for thousands of years yet. There are over eighty of them scattered along the banks of the Nile, some of which are different in shape from the true pyramids.

Some of the pyramids still look much as they must have done when they were built thousands of years ago. Most of the damage suffered by others has been at the hands of men who were looking for treasure or, more often, for stone to use in modern buildings. The dry climate of Egypt has helped to preserve the pyramids, and their very shape has made them less likely to fall into ruin. These are good reasons why they can still be seen today, but perhaps the most important is that they were planned to last forever.

It is practically certain that plans were made for the building of the pyramids because the plans of other large works have fortunately been preserved. However, there are no writings or pictures to show us how the Egyptians planned or built the pyramids themselves. Consequently, we are only able to guess the methods used. Nevertheless, by examining the actual pyramids and various tools which have been found, archaeologists have formed a fairly clear picture of them.

(26)

A．The weather.

B．The corrosion of the river.

C．People in search of stone as building materials.

D．Bad planning.

听力原文： Do you like to eat quickly？ Do you like inexpensive food？ Some people go to fast-food restaurants for these reasons. In the past, people usually went to diners for these reasons. In fact, many people in the States still go to diners today for the same reasons.

A man named Walter Scott had the first “diner” in 1872. It wasn't really a diner. It was only a food cart. People on the street walked up to the cart to buy food. These carts served late-night workers who wanted a cup of coffee and a late-night meal. The meal was a sandwich or boiled eggs. In 1887, Samuel Jones built the first diner big enough to allow the customers to come in and sit down on stools while they ate.

Before long, many diners stayed open around the clock. In other words, people were able to eat in a diner at any time. Diners changed in other ways, too. The original menu of sandwiches and coffee became bigger. It included soup, favorite dishes, and a breakfast menu. In addition, diners soon became permanent buildings. They were no longer carts on wheels.

Diners today look similar to the diners of the early 1900s. They are usually buildings with large windows. Inside, the diners have shining counters with stools, booths, and tables and chairs. People can eat all three meals in a modern diner.

Today, many people eat in fast-food restaurants such as McDonald's and Burger King. However, the diner remains an American tradition, and thousands of people still enjoy eating there. It was popular a century ago, and it is stir popular today.

(30)

A．Only breakfast.

B．Only lunch.

C．Only night-meals.

D．All of the above.

听力原文：What can hospitals do to help patients recover faster from illness？ Apart from nu

听力原文： What can hospitals do to help patients recover faster from illness？ Apart from nursing and medicine, one way that is getting more attention is to improve the quality of the environment in hospitals. Now some of Britain's most talented artists have been called in to transform. older hospitals. Of the 2,500 National Health Service hospitals in Britain, almost 100 now have large collections of contemporary art in corridors, waiting areas and treatment rooms.

These recent creative ideas owe a great deal to one artist, Peter Senior. He set up his studio at a Manchester hospital in northeastern England during the early 1970s. He felt the artist had lost his place in modern society, and that art should be enjoyed by a wider audience.

A typical hospital waiting room might have as many as 5,000 visitors each week. What better place to hold regular exhibitions of art! Senior was so popular that he was soon joined by six young art school graduates.

The effect was striking. Now in the corridors and waiting rooms the visitors have a full view of fresh colors, amusing images and peaceful courtyards.

The quality of the environment may reduce the expensive drugs when a patient is recovering from an illness. According to a study, patients who had a view of a garden needed half the number of strong pain killers compared with patients who had only a brick wall to look at. Those lucky patients said they used to be so upset when they saw the dull environment in hospitals.

(33)

A．Expensive medicine.

B．Good nursing.

C．Beter environment in hospitals.

D．Recovery at home.
