听力原文： The global spread of English over the last 40 years is remarkable. It is unprecedented in several ways: by the increasing number of users of the language; by its depth of penetration into societies; by its range of functions.

Worldwide over 1.4 billion people live in countries where English has official status. One out of five of the world's population speaks English with some degree of competence. Over 70% of the world's scientists read English. About 85% of the world's mail is written in English. By the year 2010, the number of people who speak English as a second or foreign language will outnumber native speakers.

English is used for more purposes than ever before. Vocabularies, grammatical forms, and ways of speaking and writing have shown influence from technological and scientific developments, economics and management, literature and entertainment genres. There is no reason to believe that any other language will appear within the next 50 years to replace English.

English has become an international language. However, this does not mean that English is replacing or will replace other languages as many fear. Instead, it may supplement or co-exist with other languages by allowing strangers to communicate across linguistic boundaries. It will become a tool that opens windows to the world, unlocks doors to opportunities, and expands our minds to new ideas.

(26)

A．1.4 billion.

B．One fifth of the world's population.

C．70 percent of the world's population.

D．50 million.

听力原文：TUVALU, a tiny country in the Pacific Ocean, has asked for help as it fears it wi

听力原文： TUVALU, a tiny country in the Pacific Ocean, has asked for help as it fears it will be swallowed up by the sea. Storms and huge waves are a constant threat and none of Tuvalu's nine little islands is more than five meters above sea level. Salt water is already entering the country's drinking water supply, as well as damaging plants that produce fruit and vegetable. Without urgent help, the country's days are numbered. But Tuvalu is not the first place to face sinking into the sea. Venice, a historic city in Italy, best known for its canals, has sunk about 24 cm over the past 100 years.

Experts say that it will have sunk another 20-50 cm by 2050. A century ago, St. Mark's Square, the lowest point in the city, flooded about nine times a year. Nowadays, it happens more than 100 times. While Venice is slowly sinking into the mud on which it stands. Tuvalu's rising sea level is caused by global warming. The average global temperatures also make water expand, so it takes up more space, causing the sea level to rise. The sea level has risen about 10-25 cm in the last 100 years. The main cause of global warming is human pollution. Through burning coal, oil and gas, people have been increasing the greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, such as CO2. This adds to the power of the greenhouse effect, making the planet even warmer.

(30)

A．It is in the Atlantic Ocean.

B．It has almost been swallowed by the sea.

C．It consists of 9 islands.

D．It is famous for its canal.

听力原文：Among global warming's most frightening threats is the prediction that the polar

听力原文： Among global warming's most frightening threats is the prediction that the polar ice-caps will melt, raising sea level so much that coastal cities from New York to Los Angles to Shanghai will be flooded.

Scientists agree that key player in this scenario is the West Antarctic ice sheet, a Brazil-size mass of frozen water that is as much as 7, 000 feet thick. Unlike floating ice shelves which have little impact on sea level when they break up, the ice sheet is anchored to bedrock well blow the sea surface. Surrounded by open ocean, it is also vulnerable, but Antarctic experts disagree strongly on just how unstable it is.

Now, new evidence reveals that all or most of the west Antarctic ice sheet collapsed at least once during the past 1. 3 million years, a period when global temperatures probably were not significantly higher than they are today. And the ice sheet was assumed to have been stable. In geological time, a million years is recent history. The proof, which was published last week in Science, comes from a team of scientists from Uppsala University in Sweden and the California Institute of Technology who drilled deep holes near the edge of the ice sheet. Within samples collected from the solid substance lying beneath the ice,they found fossils of microscopic marine plants which suggest that the region was once an open ocean, not solid ice. As Herman Englehart, a co-author from the California Institute of Technology says, "the West Antarctic ice sheet disappeared once, and can disappear again. "

26. Q: What is one of the most frightening threats of global warming according to the passage？

27. Q:What did scientists disagree on？

28. Q:What does the latest information reveal about the West Antarctic ice sheet？

29. Q:What does the scientists' latest finding suggest？

(32)

A．The whole Antarctic region will be submerged.

B．Some polar animals will soon become extinct.

C．Many coastal cities will be covered with water.

D．The earth will experience extreme weathers.

听力原文：The United Kingdom will seek a closer tie with China in its bid to make the count

听力原文： The United Kingdom will seek a closer tie with China in its bid to make the country one of the leading business partner in the world of economic globalization, a senior trade official has said. "China, with its massive influence in global trade, is of great importance to U.K.'s trade and industry, which is trying to attract a new wave of high-value investment," Alistair Darling, Britain's Secretary of State for Trade and Industry, said in the weekend before his visit to China. Darling, who will visit Beijing, Shanghai and Hong Kong, is on his first ever trip to China's mainland. Darling, who will lead a 15-strong delegation, said that Sino-British trade ties will be strengthened through mutual investment, not only trade.

The U.K., whose manufacturing industry has shrunk much during its economic structure readjustment in the past decades, finds that it has opportunities in helping China in fields like environment protection and power plant building. The British Trade and Industry leader said that globalization provides a tremendous opportunity for both the U.K. and China in which both countries could cooperate to curb climate change and improve bilateral trade. Darling was appointed Secretary of State for Trade and Industry, replacing Alan Johnson in the government reshuffle in May.

(30)

A．Britain's Secretary of State for Foreign Trade.

B．Britain's Secretary of State for Trade and Industry.

C．Britain's Secretary of State for Investment.

D．Britain's Secretary of State for Commerce.

听力原文：The world's smart adolescence in mathematics and science are in Singapore, accord

听力原文： The world's smart adolescence in mathematics and science are in Singapore, according to a global survey of educational achievement. In the 3rd International Mathematics and Science Study, 13-year-olds from Singapore achieved the best scores in standardized tests of maths and science that were administered to 287, 896 students in 41 countries in 1994 and 1995. The survey suggests that science and maths education is especially strong in the Far East. While well behind those top scores, students from Australia earned higher marks in maths than their counterparts in England, who in turn did better turn American students. The study collected information on the students' teachers and homes. Not surprisingly, the highest-scoring students had well-educated parents or came from homes containing study-aids such as computers, dictionaries or even such elemental facilities as desks. The study shows that boys generally did better than girls in science, but there was little difference between them in maths. Boys scored better than girls in physics and chemistry. There were no sex differences in the life and environmental sciences. In addition to being tested, students in the project were asked how proficient they thought they were in maths and science. Students in some countries, such as Columbia and Kuwait, had an overly optimistic view of their skills. Meanwhile, some of the best students from Japan and Korea, for example, were needlessly pessimistic even though they did far better in maths than almost all of other students.

(33)

A．Students from America.

B．Students from England.

C．Students from Australia.

D．Students from Japan.

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.

听力原文：An environmental group called the Food Commission is unhappy and disappointed bec

听力原文： An environmental group called the Food Commission is unhappy and disappointed because of the sale of bottled water from Japan. The water as is angrily argued in public, has traveled 10,000 "food miles" before it reaches Western customers. "Transporting water halfway across the world is surely the extremely stupid use of fuel when there is plenty of water in the UK." It is also worried that we are wasting our fuel by buying praums from Indonesia (7,000 food miles) and carrots from South Africa (5,900 food miles).

Counting the number of miles traveled done by a product is a strange way of trying to tell the true situation of the environmental damage done by an industry. Most food is transported around the world on container ships that are extremely energy efficient. It should be noted that a ton of butter transported 25 miles in a truck transported hundreds of miles by sea. Besides, the idea of "miles" ignores the amount of fuel used in the production. It is possible to cut down your food miles by buying tomatoes grown in Britain rather than those grown in Ghana; the difference is that the British one will have been raised in heated greenhouses and the Ghanaian ones in the open sun.

What the idea of "food miles" does provide, however, is the chance to cut out Third World Countries from First World food markers. The number of miles traveled by our food should, as I see it, be regarded as a sign of the success of the global trade system, not a sign of damage to the environment.

(33)

A．Because some imported goods cause environmental damage.

B．Because UK wastes a lot of money importing food products.

C．Because people waste energy buying food from other countries.

D．Because growing certain vegetables cause environmental damage.

听力原文：Valentine's Day is the time of the year when couples show their love for each oth

听力原文： Valentine's Day is the time of the year when couples show their love for each other by sending cards, flowers and chocolates. But it is not only about public displays of affection: in recent years it has also become big business. In the UK alone, more than ~ 20 million is spent on flowers, while in the United States over $ I billion is spent on chocolates.

(32)Although Valentine's Day has become a global industry with more than 80 million roses sold worldwide, the origins of the day are unclear and hidden in the mists of time. Nobody knows exactly who St Valentine was, although some historians suggest he was a Roman killed by a Roman Emperor in the third century AD. It is said that the first recorded Valentine's card was sent by the imprisoned Duke of Orleans in 1415. It is believed that he sought solace by writing love poems to his wife.

Valentine's Day, or its equivalent, is now celebrated in many countries around the world. However, the traditions often differ from place to place. (33)In Japan, for example, it is customary for the woman to send chocolates to the man, while (34)in Korea April 14th is known as "Black Day" and is when the unfortunate men who receive nothing on Valentine's Day gather to eat noodles and commiserate with each other.

Valentine's cards can also be used for less than romantic purposes. (35)Police in the UK city of Liverpool sent Valentine's cards to criminals who failed to appear in court or have not paid fines. The cards contained the verse, "Roses are red, violets are blue, you've got a warrant, and (35)we'd love to see you." Who says romance is dead？

(33)

A．More than 20 million.

B．More than 1 billion.

C．More than 80 million.

D．More than 3 billion.
