听力原文：The United States operates under a federal system of government. Under the federa

听力原文： The United States operates under a federal system of government. Under the federal system，power is divided between the central government and the states. The central government is given specific powers. These powers are named in the Constitution. Powers that are not assigned to the central government in the Constitution belong to the states.

The central government can pass laws that affect trade between states. The central government can also make treaties with foreign countries. It has the power to print money. The Constitution gives the central government these powers. These powers belong to the central government only. However，the states have many powers that the central government cannot control. For example，a state is allowed to tax people who live and work in the state. The central government cannot put a limit on the amount of money that a state taxes its people.

Many people feel that the federal system has many good points. One good point is that it restrains the power of the central government. The central government cannot become too powerful. Another good point is that the central government makes sure that the bigger states don't become too powerful. Under the Constitution，all states are treated equally. The laws of the central government do not favor one state over another.

(30)

A．The good points of the federal system.

B．How power is divided under the federal system.

C．The difference between the central government and the states.

听力原文： Millions of words have been written about young people in the United States. There are reasons for this great interest in the ideas, feelings, and actions of youth. Today, there are about seven million Americans in colleges and universities. Young persons under twenty-five make up nearly half of the American population. Many of these will soon be in charge of the nation. Naturally their ideas are important to everyone in the country, and it is necessary for older people to understand what they think and feel. College students today have strong opinions about right and wrong. They are deeply interested in making a better life for all people, especially for those who have not been given a fair chance before now. They see much that is wrong on the lives of their parents. It is hard for them to see what is right and good in the older ways. As a result, there is often trouble in American families. Your country may be meeting such problems, soon.

(30)

A．American Social Problems.

B．American Youth.

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.

(33)

A．New Zealand.

B．Australia.

C．Denmark.

D．Norway.

听力原文：About two percent of the population of the United States is of Asian origin—some

听力原文： About two percent of the population of the United States is of Asian origin—some five million people. Chinese, Japanese, and Philippines form. the largest groups. However, there are also significant numbers of Asian-Indians, Pakistanis, Koreans, and Vietnamese now living in America. As a result of the war in Vietnam, some 350,000 refugees from that country have entered the United States since the early 1970s．

Chinese and Japanese workers were imported into the United States by employers in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries．Most of the Chinese settled in California, where they were employed mainly in heavy industries, such as mining and railroad construction. They were faced with intense prejudice and discrimination, especially from lower-class white people, who saw them as a source of threat to their jobs. The retreat of the Chinese into distinct Chinatowns was not primarily their choice, but was enforced by the hostility they faced. Since Chinese immigration was ended by law in 1882, the Chinese remained largely isolated from the wider society—at least until recently.

Most of the Japanese immigrants also settled in California and the other Pacific states. During World WarⅡ, following the attack on Pearl Harbor by Japan, all Japanese Americans in the United States were made to report to“relocation centers”which were effectively concentration camps. In spite of the fact that most of the Japanese were American citizens, they were compelled to live in the hastily established camps for the duration of the war.

(33)

A．About 35,000.

B．About 250,000.

C．About 350,000.

D．About 25,000.

听力原文： Buried treasure is scattered over every part of the United States. Why don't people find it？ As a matter of fact, a great deal of buried treasure is found much more than we ever hear all out. People who find treasure have a habit of keeping it to themselves. Either they are afraid that others might claim it, or they want to avoid paying taxes on it. There are perhaps a dozen unreported treasure finds for each one reported.

Florida has probably yielded more buried treasure than any other part of the United States. The Gulf of Mexico used to be infested with pirates attacking Spanish ships. Often they were unable to dispose of their goods immediately. They packed it in large boxes or sacks and buried it in secret hiding places on the shore. Often they drew a map of the area so that they could come back later and know where to dig.

(33)

A．Treasure hunters don't report their finds to avoid paying taxes on it.

B．Those who find treasure usually keep it to themselves for fear that others might claim it.

C．The police don't bother about keeping a record.

D．Both A and B
