听力原文： Visitors to Britain sometimes are surprised to learn that newspapers there have such a large circulation. The Daily Mirror and the Daily Express both sell about four million copies every day. Apart from the national papers, there is another branch of the British press which sells almost as many copies. Local newspapers have a circulation of 13 million. Almost every town and country area has one.

Local newspapers are written almost entirely for readers interested in local events— births, weddings, deaths, council meetings and sports—but the content is naturally influenced by the kind of community they serve. A great deal of local news is regularly supplied by clubs and churches in the neighborhood and it does not get out of date as quickly as national news.

Local newspapers do not often comment on problems of national importance and editors rarely take sides on political questions. They can often be of service to the community in expressing public feeling on local issues. A newspaper can sometimes persuade the council to take action to provide better shopping facilities, improve transport in the area and preserve local monuments and places of interest.

These papers often sound rather dull and it seems surprising that they all make a profit. However, for many people in small towns and villages the death of someone known to them or the installation of traffic lights at a busy corner nearby can sometimes be more important than a disaster in a foreign country.

(23)

A．Large circulation of newspapers in Britain.

B．National newspapers in Britain.

C．Local Newspapers in Britain.

D．Difference between national newspapers and local newspapers in Britain.

听力原文： "Where is the university？" is a question many visitors to Cambridge ask, but no one could point them in any one direction because there is no campus. The university consists of thirty - one self - governing colleges. It has lecture halls, libraries, laboratories, museums and offices throughout the city.

Individual colleges choose their own students, who have to meet the minimum entrance requirements set by the university.

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.

听力原文： A good way to see the USA is by car. Americans love their automobiles and in the past fifty years they have developed a vast network of roads and freeways to help them reach their destinations. As few visitors have their own cars, renting one is the next best thing. You will need a valid driver's license and either international credit cards, or a deposit.

You should start out with a working knowledge of the road. Regulations vary from state to state and this can be very confusing to a newcomer. For example, in some states it is legal to turn right at a red light if there is no approaching traffic, while in other states you will be fined for this action. Throughout the country it is forbidden to pass a school bus when it has stopped to let off children.

The size of the country may startle you at first and you may be surprised at the spectacular physical beauty. When the first pioneers began to expand West into the wildness, the natural resources of the land seemed inexhaustible. Nearly 1,000 million acres of land was covered by virgin forests. Much of this was burnt off for farmland and it soon became apparent that the government would have to take action or the natural beauty of the land would be lost for ever.

(33)

A．A driver's license.

B．A passport.

C．An international credit card.

D．A deposit.

听力原文：Culture shock occurs as a result of total immersion in a new culture. It happens

听力原文： Culture shock occurs as a result of total immersion in a new culture. It happens to people who have been suddenly transplanted abroad. Newcomers may be anxious because they do not speak the language, know the customs, or understand people's behavior. in daily life. The visitor finds that yes may not always mean yes, that friendliness does not necessarily mean friendship, or that statements that appear to be serious are really intended as jokes. The foreigners may be unsure as to when to shake hands, when to initiate conversations, or how to approach a stranger. The notion of culture shock helps explain feelings of bewilderment and confusion. Language problems do not account for all the frustrations that people feel. When one is deprived of everything that was once familiar, such as understanding a transportation system, knowing how to register for university classes, or knowing how to make friends, difficulties in coping with the new society may arise.

Newcomers feel at times that they do not belong and consequently, may feel alienated from the native member of the culture. When this happens, visitors may want to reject everything about the new environment and may exaggerate the positive aspects of their own culture. Conversely, visitors may scorn their native country by rejecting its values and instead choosing to identify with the values of the new country.

(30)

A．They may worry about their knowledge of "yes" in the native language.

B．They may worry about their ability to make friends.

C．They may worry about their control of the behavior.

D．They may worry about their ignorance of the alien customs.

听力原文： American visitors to Eastern Asia are often surprised and puzzled by how Asian cultures and customs differ from those in the United States. What's considered typical or proper social conduct in one country may be regard as odd, improper or even rude in the other. For example, people from some Eastern Asian countries may begin a conversation with a stranger by asking personal questions about family, home or work. Such questions are thought to be friendly, whereas they might be considered offensive in the United States. On the other hand, people in most Asian cultures are far more guarded about expressing their feelings publicly than most Americans are. Openly displaying annoyance or anger, yelling, arguing loudly and so forth is considered ill-mannered in countries such as Japan. Many Eastern Asians prefer to hold their emotions in check and instead express themselves with great politeness. They try not to be blunt and avoid making direct criticisms. In fact, they often keep their differences of opinion to themselves and merely smile and remain silent rather than engage in a confrontation. By comparison, Americans are often frank about displaying both positive and negative emotions on the street and in other public places. Americans visiting Asia should keep in mind that such behavior. may cause offense. A major difference between American culture and most Asian cultures is that in Asia, the community is more important than the individual. Most Americans are considered a success when they make a name for themselves.

(30)

A．By greeting each other very politely.

B．By exchanging their views on public affairs.

C．By displaying their feelings and emotions.

D．By asking each other some personal questions.

听力原文： In this lesson, I want to talk about the history of The White House. At first, most Americans didn't think there was anything particularly special about the White House. Few had ever seen it or had any idea what it looked like, and even the families who lived there found it completely inadequate. When it was built, the White House was the largest house in the country and it remained so until after the Civil War. But it served so many different purposes that little of it was available for the First Family to actually live in. The first floor, or "State Floor" was made up entirely of public rooms; and the president's offices, which where staffed by as many as 30 employees, took half of the second floor up. The First Family had to get by with the eight or fewer second-floor rooms that were left. By Lincoln's time, the situation was intolerable. The White House was open to visitors; office seekers, and the merely curious had no difficulty making their way upstairs from the official rooms on the first floor. Lincoln was so uncomfortable with the situation that he had a private corridor constructed. He also received a $ 20, 000 appropriation to improve the furnishings of the White House. The new furnishings did not last for more than a few years. When Lincoln was assassinated in 1865, the White House fell into disarray. No one really supervised the White House during' the first five weeks.

(30)

A．They didn't care.

B．They hated it.

C．They loved it.

D．They have mixed feelings.

听力原文： Welcome to the Four Winds Historical Farm, where traditions of the past are preserved for visitors like you. Today giving this barn behind me a sturdy thatched roof able to , withstand heavy winds and last up to a hundred years．How do they do it？ Well，in a nutshell，thatching involves covering the beams'or rafters—the wooden skeleton of a roof—with reeds or straw．Our thatchers here have harvested their own natural materials for the job—the bundles of water reeds you see lying over there beside the barn．

Thatching is certainly uncommon in the United States today．I guess that's why so many of you have come to see this demonstration．But it wasn't always that way．In the seventeenth century, the colonists here thatched their roofs with reeds and straw, just as they had done in England. After a while, though, they began to replace the thatch with wooden shingles because wood was so plentiful. And eventually, other roofing materials like stones, slates, and clay tiles came into use.

It's a real shame that most people today don't realize how strong and long-lasting a thatched roof is. In Ireland, where thatching is still practiced, the roofs can survive winds of up to one hundred ten miles per hour. That's because straw and reeds are so flexible. They bend but don't break in the wind like other materials can. Another advantage is that the roofs keep the house cool in the summer and warm in the winter. And then, of course, there's the roofs' longevity--the average is sixty years, but they can last up to a hundred. With all these reasons to start thatching roofs again, wouldn't it be wonderful to see this disappearing craft return to popularity？

(33)

A．Putting a roof on a barn.

B．Harvesting water reeds.

C．Using stone as a building material.

D．Daily farm operations.
