听力原文： The United States is full of automobiles. There are still many families without cars, blt some families have two or even more. However, cats are used for more than pleasure. They are a necessary part of life.

Cars are used for business. They are driven to offices and factories by workers who have no other way to get to their jobs. When salesmen are sent to different parts of the city, they have to drive in order to carry their products. Farmers have to drive into the city in order to get supplies.

Sometimes small children must be driven to school. In some cities school buses are used only when children live more than a mile from the school. When the children are too young to walk that far, their mothers take turns driving them to school. One mother drives on Mondays, taking her own children and her neighbors' children as well. Another mother drives on Tuesdays, another on Wednesdays, and so on. This is called "forming a car pool". Men also form. car pools, with three or four men taking turns driving to the place where they all work. More cur pools should be formed in order to put fewer automobiles on the road and to use less gasoline. Parking is a great problem, and so is the traffic in and around cities. Too many cars are being driven. Something will have to be done about the use of cars.

(23)

A．To get supplies.

B．To get to their jobs.

C．To carry their products.

D．To enjoy themselves.

听力原文： (29) To get a driver's license in the U. S., all states require that you be above a certain age, that you know how to drive, and that you know about traffic laws and safety rules.

In most states, you have to be at least sixteen years old to start learning to drive. Anyone younger than that who sits behind the wheel of a moving car is violating the law, even ff he or she is closely supervised. (30) Age sixteen is also the minimum age in most states for taking driver's education courses in schools.

Driver's education courses begin with classroom instruction on the rules of the road and traffic laws. You learn, for example, how fast it is safe to go in certain areas, what to do ff a fire engine is near, and what the different road signs mean, When you finish the classroom course, you can apply for a Learner's Permit. In some states you have to take a test before you receive the permit.

When you have your Learner's Permit, you are allowed to drive a car under supervision. This means that you can drive only when you are accompanied by a licensed driver. It is during this period that you actually learn to drive. You learn to steer the car, to start it, to pass other cars, to park and all the other practical things you will need to know.

(31) Your Learner's Permit is good for only a limited amount of time, since it is expected that you will be ready to take the test for your license after a relatively short period of instruction.

(30)

A．How to drive a car.

B．How to get a driving license in America.

C．Traffic laws and safety rules in America.

D．The age requirement for driving a car.

听力原文：Most dogs can be taught to tolerate cats if their owners are willing to be patien

听力原文： Most dogs can be taught to tolerate cats if their owners are willing to be patient and consistent. Some dogs take longer to train than others and the difference is usually due to the dog's level of "prey drive".

Nature designed the predators to chase and catch smaller animals for food. Although dogs have been domesticated for thousands of years, they still act upon the instincts nature gave them. Through generations of selective breeding, people have modified these instincts. By decreasing the effects of some and enhancing the effects of others, we've been able to develop a wide variety of different breeds of dogs, each meant to serve a different purpose or perform. a certain function.

A dog's instinct to chase and catch something is called his prey drive. Throw a stuffed toy to a puppy and watch his prey drive in action as he chases it, catches it, and then shakes it to pieces. Breeds and individual dogs vary in the intensity of their prey drives. Some breeds are created specifically for killing other animals. Most terriers, for example, are intended to kill rats and they have very high prey drives.

In other breeds, the prey drive can be altered to suit an entirely different purpose. Therefore, there must be effective ways to train a dog with a high prey drive to live peacefully with cats and other small pets. For example, by giving the dog extra attention and even special treats when the cat is in the room, the dog soon learns that having the cat around means very good things are going to happen to him! He will be happy to get along with the cat harmoniously and his prey drive will be lowered.

(30)

A．Why does the dog like to attack the cat？

B．Can we make peace between dogs and cats and how？

C．The mystery of animal’s prey drive.

D．A better understanding of our dogs.

听力原文： Should a person own a car？ This is an important question. In a large urban area, there are some good reasons for owning a car. Firstly, a car allows a person to move around freely. With a car there is no need to check a bus schedule or wait for a train. Secondly, a car is a comfortable way to travel, especially in the winter time. In bad weather, the driver stays warm and dry, while the poor bus or train rider might have to stand in the rain. Finally, a driver is usually safe in a car at night. The bus rider might need to walk down a dark street to get to a stop, or wait on a dark corner.

There are, on the other hand, many good reasons against owning a car. Firstly, it can be very expensive. The price of fuel continues to rise each year. In addition, it is expensive to maintain and repair a car. A simple repair can cost $ 50. In an urban area, it might also be expensive to park a car. Secondly, owning a car can cause worry and stress. It is exhausting to drive in heavy traffic. If you leave your car on the street, it might get stolen. That is something else to worry about.

(33)

A．Buses and trains are too crowded.

B．A person can move around freely.

C．It is easy to maintain cars.

D．A driver is usually safe in his car.
