听力原文: We have met the enemy, and he is ours. We bought him at a pet shop. When monkey-pox, a disease usually found in the African rain forest, suddenly turns up in children in the American Midwest, it's hard not to wonder if the disease that comes from foreign animals is homing in on human beings. "Most of the infections we think of as human infections started in other animals," says Stephen Morse, director of the Center for Public Health Preparedness at Columbia University.
It's not just that we're going to where the animals are; we're also bringing them closer to us. Popular foreign pets have brought a whole new disease to this country. A strange illness killed Isaksen's pets, and she now thinks that keeping foreign pets is a bad idea. "I don't think it's fair to have them as pets when we have such a limited knowledge of them," says Isaksen.
"Laws allowing these animals to be brought in from deep forest areas without stricter control need changing," says Peter Schantz. Monkey-pox may be the wake-up call. Researchers believe infected animals may infect their owners. We know very little about these new diseases. A new bug may be kind at first. But some strains may become harmful. Monkey-pox doesn't look like a major infectious disease. But it is not impossible to pass the disease from person to person.
Questions 33 to 35 are based on the passage you have just heard.
33. What do we learn about the pet sold at the shop?
34. Why did Isaksen advise people not to have foreign pets?
35. What does the passage suggest we may have to do in the future?

M: Yes. My name is Ronald Schuller.
W: Okay. How about the day after tomorrow on Wednesday at 4:00 o'clock?
M: Uh. Do you happen to have an opening in the morning? I usually pick up my kids from school around that time.
W: Okay. Um... how about Tuesday at 8:00 A.M. or Thursday at 8:15 A. M. ?

W: Well, did you put ice on it immediately after this happened?
M: Well yeah. I just filled the paint can with ice and...
W: And so after you removed the paint can... Sir, sir, Mr. Schuller, are you still there?
M: Well that's part of the problem. Uh, the paint can is still on my foot.

Humanity's primal (原始的) efforts to systematize the concepts of size, shapes, and number are usually regarded as the earliest mathematics. However, the concept of number and the counting process developed so long【C1】______ the time of recorded history (there is archaeological【C2】______ that counting was employed by humans as far back as 50,000 years ago) that the【C3】______ of this development is largely conjectural (好推测的). Imaging how it probably came【C4】______ is not difficult. The argument that humans, 【C5】______ in prehistoric times, had some number sense, at least【C6】______ the extent of recognizing the concepts of more and less when some objects were【C7】______ to or taken away from a small group, seems fair, for studies have shown that some animal possesses such a【C8】______ .
With the【C9】______ evolution of society, simple counting became necessary. A tribe had to know how many members it had and how many enemies, and shepherd needed to know【C10】______ the flock of sheep was decreasing in size. Probably the earliest way of keeping a count was by some simple tally (计算, 记录) method,【C11】______ the principle of one-to-one corre-spondence. In【C12】______ a count of sheep, for example, one finger per sheep could be【C13】______ . Counts could also be【C14】______ by making scratches in the dirt or on a stone, by cutting notches in a piece of wood, or by tying knots in a string.【C15】______ , perhaps later, an assortment of vocal【C16】______ was developed as a word tally against the number of objects in, a small group. And【C17】______ later, with the development of writing, a set of【C18】______ was invented to stand for these numbers. Such an imagined development is【C19】______ by reports of anthropologists in their studies of present-day societies that are【C20】______ to be similar to those of early humans.
【C1】
A.after
B.before
C.ahead
D.ago

听力原文: The University of Tennessee's Walters Life Sciences Building is a model animal facility — spotlessly clean, careful in obtaining prior approval for experiments from an animal care committee.
Of the 15,000 mice housed there in a typical year, most give their lives for humanity. These are "good" mice and as such were the protection of the animal care committee. At any given time, however, some mice escape and run free. These mice are pests. They can disrupt experiments with the bacterial organisms they carry. They are "bad" mice and must be captured and destroyed. Usually, this is accomplished by means of sticky traps, a kind of flypaper, on which they become increasingly stuck. But the real point of this cautionary tale, says animal behaviorist Herzog, is that the labels we put on things can affect our moral responses to them.
Using stick traps, or the more deadly snap traps, would be deemed unacceptable for good mice. Yet the killing of bad mice requires no prior approval. Once a research animal hits the floor and becomes an escapee, says Herzog, its moral standing is instantly diminished.
In Herzog's own home, there was a more ironic example. When his young son's pet mouse Willie died recently, it was accorded a tearful ceremonial burial in the garden. Yet even as they mourned Willie, says Herzog, he and his wife were setting snap traps to kill the pest mice in their kitchen. With the bare change in labels from pet to pest, the kitchen mice attained a totally different moral status.
Questions 26 to 29 are based on the passage you have just heard.
26. What does the passage say about most of the mice used for experiments?
27. Why did the so-called bad mice have to be captured and destroyed?
28. When are mice killed without prior approval?
29. Why does the speaker say what the Herzogs did at home is ironical?
(32)
A.They are looked after by animal-care organizations.
B.They sacrifice their lives for the benefit of humans.
C.They look spotlessly clean throughout their lives.
D.They are labeled pet animals by the researchers.

第10题
听力原文:M: Want to go out and get something to eat?
W: I can't. I have a chemistry midterm on Monday and a German exam on Tuesday.
M: I have a geology exam Monday myself, but I think I'm ready for it.
W: What kind of exam is it going to be—multiple choice or essay?
M: Neither. The professor is going to give us a mineral sample and we have to identify it.
W: How do you do that? I mean, a rock's a rock, isn't it?
M: Actually, there are a lot of tests you can perform. on minerals to help you figure out what they are. Probably the first tests I'll do are scratch tests. When you do a scratch test, you rub the sample on a known mineral to see if the unknown mineral scratches the known mineral or vice versa. That tells you the relative hardness of the sample.
W: What other tests will you do?
M: I'll probably do a streak test next. In that test, you rub an unknown mineral against a piece of china to see what color the streak is.
W: Why can't you just look at the mineral to see what color it is?
M: Well, you can, but sometimes a mineral has some other substance in it, and the substance can change its color. But a streak test shows the mineral's true color. Then there's always the specific gravity test, the blowpipe test...oh, and...
W: And after you've done all these tests, you can positively identify any mineral?
M: Well, usually...but not always. I just hope I can on Monday!
