听力原文：British people place considerable value on punctuality, if you agree to meet frie

听力原文： British people place considerable value on punctuality, if you agree to meet friends at three o'clock, you can bet that they'll be there just after three. Since Britons are so time conscious, the pace of life may seem very rushed. In Britain, people make great effort to arrive on time. It is often considered impolite to arrive even a few minutes late. If you are unable to keep an appointment, it is expected that you call the person you are meeting.

If you are invited to someone's house for dinner at half past seven, it is considered good manners to arrive ten to fifteen minutes "late". An invitation might state "7:30 to 8:00", in which case you should arrive no later than 7:50. However, if an invitation says "sharp", you must arrive in plenty of time.

"Drop in anytime" and "come see me soon" are idioms often used in social meetings but seldom meant to be taken literally. It is wise to telephone before visiting someone at home.

Although it is not necessarily expected that you give a gift to your host, it is considered polite to do so, especially if you have been invited for a meal. Flowers, chocolate, or a small gift are all appropriate. A thank-you note or telephone call after the visit is also considered polite and is an appropriate means to express your appreciation for the invitation.

(30)

A．After 8:15.

B． No later than 7:30.

C． No later than 7:50.

D． At 8:00.

听力原文： A "typical" British family used to consist of mother, father and two children, but in recent years there have been many changes in family life. Some of these have been caused by new laws and others are the result of changes in society. For example, since the law made it easier to get a divorce, the number of divorces has increased. In fact one marriage in every three now ends in divorce. This means that there are a lot of one-parent families. Society is now more tolerant than it used to be of unmarried people, un married couples and single parents.

Another change has been caused by the fact that people arc living longer nowadays, and many old people live alone following the death of their partners. As a result of these changes in the pattern of people's lives, there are many families that consist of only one person or one person and children. You might think that marriage and the families are not so popular as they once were. However, the majority of divorced people marry again, and they sometimes take responsibility for a second family.

(33)

A．High rate of divorce in Britain.

B．Generation gap in Britain.

C．Changes in family life in Britain.

D．One-parent families in Britain.

听力原文："Family" is of course an elastic word. But when British people say that their soc

听力原文： "Family" is of course an elastic word. But when British people say that their society is based on family life, they are thinking of "family" in its narrow, peculiarly European sense of mother, father and children living together alone in their own house as an economic and social unit. Thus, every British marriage indicates the beginning of a new and independent family — hence the great importance of marriage in British life. For both the man and the woman, marriage means leaving one's parents and starting one's own life. The man's first duty will then be to his wife, and the wife's to her husband. He will be entirely responsible for her financial support, and she for the running of the new home. Their children will be their common responsibility and theirs alone. Neither the wife's parents nor the husband's, nor their brothers or sisters, aunts or uncles, have any right to interfere with them—they are their own masters.

Readers of novels like Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice will know that in former times marriage among wealthy families was arranged by the girl's parents, that is, it was the parents duty to find a suitable husband for their daughter, preferably a rich one, and by skillful encouragement to lead him eventually to ask their permission to marry her. Until that time, the girl was protected and maintained in the parents' home, and the financial relief of getting rid of her could be seen in their giving the newly married pair a sum of money called a dowry. It is very different today. Most girls of today get a job when they leave school and become financially independent before their marriage. This has had two results. A girl chooses her own husband, and she gets no dowry.

(23)

A．It indicates sufferings in their life.

B．It indicates a greater financial burden.

C．It indicates sadness of parents.

D．It indicates the beginning of a new and independent family.

听力原文：Today school children in many countries have high rates of falling eye-sight. Two

听力原文： Today school children in many countries have high rates of falling eye-sight. Two methods have been proposed to prevent near-sightedness, one Western and one Chinese. The Western method was developed by Mr. Bates, a British actor, in the early part of this century. He trained people to relax their eyes frequently during a period of intense reading. His methods included covering open eyes with the palms of the hands and looking at distant objects by moving the eyes from side to side instead of staring at them. Bates also encouraged school children to look frequently at a calendar on the wall of the classroom to relax their eyes. A famous British writer even wrote a book on the beneficial effects of the Bates method for his vision.

The traditional Chinese method involves pressing certain points around the eyes with fingers. This also relaxes excessive tension in eye muscles. It is best done by doctors trained in traditional Chinese medicine, but it can also be done by students themselves.

Teachers and parents should encourage pupils to relax their eyes frequently while reading and studying.

(30)

A．He was a doctor.

B．He was a writer.

C．He was an actor.

D．He was a teacher.

听力原文：W: Thank you, (22)Professor, for coming to our program and answer the listeners' questions.

M: You're welcome. I'm glad to be here sharing my knowledge of English with all the learners.

W: Well, talking about learning English, is there any difference between Canadian English, British English and American English？

M: Yes. In some aspects, the English spoken by Canadians is different from that of the British people while in other aspects it is different from American English.

W: Some people hold that Canadian English must be a dialect of British English because Canada was once a colony of Britain and ever since her independence she has remained a member country of the British Common Wealth. Is that true？

M: No. This is a false idea. According to history, the first batch of English speakers settling down in Canada were not from Britain but from the United States. They were the so-called American "loyalists"—Americans who had moved northwards into Canada after the American Revolution for Independence. (23)They were called "loyalists" because after the American Revolution, they remained loyal to the British crown, Thus, it seems more appropriate to regard Canadian English as a variety of American English in origin.

W: I see. Then, is there anything peculiar about Canadian English？

M: (24)Canadian English is a unique dialect with demurs similar to both American and British English. Although Canada is a large country, the pronunciation of Canadian English is quite uniform. from the east coast to the west coast.

W: That's interesting. What about the spelling system？

M: This is a difficult question to answer. (25)Generally speaking, the British spelling system is chosen for more prestigious articles while the American spelling system is for the popular topics.

A．A magazine reporter and a professor of politics.

听力原文： In different parts of Britain, people call their meals by different names. It's very complicated. For most people the main meal of the day is called dinner. But some families eat this at mid-day, others eat it in the evening. People who have dinner in the evening have a smaller meal called lunch at mid-day, and people who have dinner at mid-day usually have another meal which they call tea between five and six, or they have supper a little later.

For most people, breakfast is a bowl of cereal followed by toast and jam with a cup of coffee or tea. Lunch is usually a very quick meal; most people have a sandwich or a light snack. Dinner may have two or three courses. First a starter, for example soup, then a main course with meat or fish and finally a dessert.

It is probably tree that British food does not have a very good reputation among people from overseas. In general, though, it has improved considerably in recent years.

(26)

A．Supper.

B．Lunch.

C．Breakfast.

D．Dinner.

听力原文： The results of the municipal elections in Italy in which the governing coalition lost ground to parties on the left and right attracted considerable attention in today's British newspapers.

The Scotsman says file results reflect the bewilderment of a people who are watching file abrupt disintegration of the country's post-war political and economic fabric. The Yorkshire Post says the results raise the perennial question of whether Italy is governable. And The Independent adds that there's little prospect of a convincing new party of the moderate centre right emerging in time for the elections to fill the political vacuum left by the discredited Christian democrats and socialists.
