听力原文:The basic flag of the United States is one of the world's oldest national flags.

听力原文: The basic flag of the United States is one of the world's oldest national flags. Only the basic flags of Austria, Denmark, Great Britain, the Netherlands, Sweden, and Switzerland are older.

The first official flag of the United States was created by Congress on June 14,1777. It consisted of 13 alternate red and white stripes and 13 white stars in a field of blue, representing the 13 colonies that had declared their independence in 1776. Congress adopted a new flag of 15 stars and 15 stripes in 1795, to give representation to the two new states admitted into the Union, Vermont and Kentucky.

By 1817, there were 20 states in the Union, and it became apparent that adding one stripe for each new state would destroy the shape of the flag. As a result, in 1818, congress restored the design of 13 stripes and provided that each state was to be represented by one star. In 1912 President William H. Taft made the first official provision for the arrangement of the stars. He ordered that there be six even rows of eight stars each. Previously, the arrangement of the stars had been left to the flag-maker's fancy.

The evolution of the Stars and Stripes reflects the growth of the United States. After the admission of Hawaii into the Union in 1959, the flag was officially changed for the 26th time since its creation.

听力原文: Susan Anthony was born in Massachusetts in 1820 and died in Rochester, New York, in 1906. In the 1850's she saw many problems in her country and wanted to do something about them.

In 1869 she helped start the National Women' s Association. This group worked hard to get women the right to vote in the United States. In 1869, the State of Wyoming gave women the fight to vote. Some other states also allowed women to vote. But Susan Anthony and National American Women' s Association wanted all women to have the right to vote. They worked to add this to the constitution of the United States. Finally, in 1920, 14 years after Susan Anthony' s death, an article was added to the Constitution. It gave all American women the right to vote.

听力原文: New York City is the largest city in the United States. Unlike most American cities, which make up only a part of a particular county, New York City is made up of five separate counties, which are called boroughs. They are Manhattan, Queens, Brooklyn, Bronx and Staten Island.

Manhattan, or New York County, is the smallest of the five boroughs, covering an area of 59.5 sq km (23 sq mi). It is the glittering heart of the metropolis. It is the site of virtually all of the hundreds of skyscrapers that are the symbol of the city. Among the more famous of these are the Empire State Building, the Chrysler Building, and Citicorp Center. The 110-story twin towers of the World Trade Center were also among New York's famous skyscrapers until they were destroyed in a terrorist attack in 2001.

Manhattan is the center of New York's cultural life. Numerous stage and motion picture theaters are located around Broadway in Midtown, which includes Times Square. The borough is the home of prominent music and dance organizations, such as the New York City Opera Company, the Metropolitan Opera Association, American Bailer Theatre, and the New York City Ballet.

听力原文:Good morning and welcome to American studies 101. I would like to begin this seme

听力原文: Good morning and welcome to American studies 101. I would like to begin this semester by discussing the region of the United States known as the Northeast. This region includes twelve states and a small area called the District of Columbia that is the home of the national government.

The Northeast is a very important part of the United States, for although it covers only about six percent of the nation's geographical area, it contains approximately one-fourth of the country's population. New York, the most popular city in the United States, and several other large cities are located in this region.

Why are these twelve states so important? In the first place, the Northeast was one of the first sections of the country to be settled by Europeans. Busy cities developed there when most of America was still a sparsely settled wilderness. Many crucial events in the nation's early history took place there. I'll be describing some of those events Wednesday in my second lecture.

Today the Northeast is a great manufacturing and trading region. Thousands of factories produce a wide variety of goods and provide other regions of the country with items they need. Many large manufacturing firms have their central headquarters here. Some of the country's largest banks, investment agencies, and publishing houses are found in the Northeast. Several of its cities are noted for their fine museums. Some of the country's best known colleges and universities are also located in this region.

Finally the Northeast is the principal location for much of the country's international trade. In the heart of this region New York city is the home of the United Nations.

A.On the first day of class.

B.At the end of the first week of classes.

听力原文:In the past two years, millions of Americans have suddenly embraced the bicycle a

听力原文: In the past two years, millions of Americans have suddenly embraced the bicycle as if it were a startling new invention. Annual bike sales doubled between 1960 and 1970, and there are nearly 70 million bikes in the United States today. That's more than two for every three automobiles.

Of course, the bike has been around for more than 150 years, and this isn't America's first bicycle boom. A wave of bike enthusiasm swept the land in the late 1800s and bicycle production hit two million units in 1897. Then with the coming of the auto, bicycling declined, and for decades remained popular only with children and a few adult faddists.

Now, national preoccupation with air pollution and physical fitness has brought the bike back to the forefront—particularly with adults. More than eight million bikes were sold in the United States last year and a third of them went to adults. The year before, only 15 percent of new bike sales were for adults.

(30)

A.The use of bikes is a new invention in the U.S.

B.Annual bike sales doubled in the 60s in the U.S.

C.The producers made 70 million bikes every year.

D.The number of bikes is two times that of cars in the U.S.

听力原文:Yale University is a private university. It was founded in 1701 and is the third

听力原文: Yale University is a private university. It was founded in 1701 and is the third oldest university in the United States. Yale University was named in honor of a wealthy British, Elihu Yale, who had made a series of donations to the school. Yale's initial lessons emphasized classical studies.

Yale is highly selective in its admissions and is among the nation's most highly rated schools in terms of academic and social prestige. It includes Yale College for undergraduate, the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences, and 10 professional schools.

Yale's Sheffield Scientific School, began in the 1850s, was one of the leading scientific and engineering centers in the nation until the 20th century. A graduate school of arts and sciences was organized in 1847. Schools of music, forestry, nursing, drama, management, and architecture were subsequently established. Women were first admitted to the graduate school in 1892, but the university did not become fully coeducational until 1969.

The Yale University Library, with more than 10.5 million volumes, is one of the largest in the United States. Yale's extensive art gallery, the first in an American college, was established in 1832 when John Trumbull donated a gallery to house his paintings of the American Revolution.

Yale's graduates have included U.S. Presidents William Howard Taft, Gerald R. Ford, George Bush, and William J. (Bill) Clinton; political leader John C. Calhoun; and inventor Eli Whitney.

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.
