听力原文:Zoe Chambers was a successful PR (Public Relations) consultant and life was going

听力原文: Zoe Chambers was a successful PR (Public Relations) consultant and life was going well — she had a great job, a beautiful flat and a busy social life in London. Then one evening in June last year, she received a text message telling her she was out of work. "The first two weeks were the most difficult to live through," she said. "After everything I'd done for the company, they dismissed me by text! I was so angry and I just didn't feel like looking for another job. I hated everything about the city and my life."

Then, Zoe received an invitation from an old school friend, Kathy, to come and stay. Kathy and her husband, Huw, had just bought a farm in northwest Wales. Zoe jumped at the chance to spend a weekend away from London, and now, ten months later, she is still on the farm.

"The moment I arrived at Kathy's farm, I loved it and I knew I wanted to stay," said Zoe.

"Everything about my past life suddenly seemed meaningless."

Zoe has been working on the farm since October of last year and says she has no regrets. "It's a hard life, physically very tiring," she says. "In London I was stressed and often mentally exhausted. But this is a good, healthy tiredness. Here, all I need to put me in a good mood is a hot bath and one of Kathy's wonderful dinners."

Zoe says she has never felt bored on the farm. Every day brings a new experience. Kathy has been teaching her how to ride a horse and she has learnt to drive a tractor. Since Christmas, she has been helping with the lambing — watching a lamb being born is unbelievable. She says, "It's one of the most moving experiences I've ever had. I could never go back to city life now."

Questions 26 to 29 are based on the passage you have just heard.

26. How did Zoe find her life in London when working as a PR consultant?

27. What is the most important reason Zoe went to visit Kathy's farm?

28. How does Zoe feel about the country life according to the passage?

29. What is the main idea of the passage?

(33)

A.Satisfying.

B.Tough.

C.Meaningless.

D.Boring.

听力原文:While radio broadcasting was still in its early stage the wonder of television wa

听力原文: While radio broadcasting was still in its early stage the wonder of television was already being developed. The person responsible for developing it was John Baird. In 1926 he gave the first demonstration of a television picture.

As a home entertainment, television rapidly became more popular than any other form. A news broadcast became more immediate when people could actually see the scene in question and the movements of the figures. Films could also be available. One of the advantages of travel programs was the glimpse of far-away places which many viewers would not otherwise have seen. Though much of the entertainment was of a popular kind like quiz competitions, some remarkable cultural programs were also broadcast. Just as with radio in earlier days, a group of actors and actresses became familiar in every household. One of the most popular programs on television was sport and an interesting result of the television broadcast was the increased attendance at the actual events. How far this was due to a growth in interest in the-game and how far out of the peoples desire to appeal on the screen is not clear.

(33)

A.He was the first person to appear on television.

B.It was he who discovered the wonder of television.

C.He made the very first step towards the invention of television.

D.He developed the television and was the first person to demonstrate it.

听力原文:When Iraqi troops blew up hundreds of Kuwaiti oil wells at the end of the Gulf Wa

听力原文: When Iraqi troops blew up hundreds of Kuwaiti oil wells at the end of the Gulf War, scientists feared environmental disasters. Would black soot in the smoke from the fires circle the globe and block out the sun?

Many said "no way"; rain would wash the black soot from the atmosphere. However in America, air-sampling balloons have detected high concentrations of particles similar to those collected in Kuwait.

Now that the fires are out, scientists are turning their attention to yet another threat: the oil that didn't catch fire. It has formed huge lakes in the Kuwaiti desert. They trap insects and birds, and poison a variety of other desert animals and plants.

The only good news is that the oil lakes have out affected the underground water resources. So far, the oil has not been absorbed because of the hard sand just below the surface.

Nothing, however, stops the oil from evaporating. The resulting poisonous gases are choking nearby residents.

Officials are trying to .organize a quick cleanup, but they're not sure how to do it. One possibility is to burn the oil. Get those black soot detectors ready.

(31)

A.The threat of poisonous desert animals and plants.

B.The exhaustion of energy resources.

C.The destruction of oil wells.

D.The spread of the black soot from the fires.

听力原文:Objects that are vibrating make sounds.Rhythmic sound vibrations produce sound wa

听力原文: Objects that are vibrating make sounds.Rhythmic sound vibrations produce sound waves which travel in every direction.The frequency of a sound is the number of waves that pass a given point each second.The more rapidly an object vibrates,the greater the frequency of sound it makes.Frequency is measured in hertz.One hertz equals one sound wave per second.The frequency of sound determines the degree of highness or lowness of the sound.A high-pitched sound has a higher frequency than a low-pitched sound.Humans hear sounds that have frequencies from about 20 hertz to 20,000 hertz。Sound with a frequency higher than 20,000 hertz is called ultrasound which is too high-pitched for humans to hear.However,many animals can hear ultra- sound.Bats can hear higher sounds than any other animal.Some can hear up to 210,000 hertz.Bats send out lots of high-pitched squeaks and then listen to the echoes bouncing off things like insects.The shorter the time interval between the squeak and the echo,the closer they are to the insect.Using sound to find or“see” things is called echolocation.Another animal that uses ultrasound is the dolphin.Dolphins can hear sounds up to about 150,000 hertz.Dolphins use sound waves to find food underwater.They make clicking sounds that hit whatever is around them and then bounce hack to the dolphins.Dolphins can send as many as 2,000 clicks per second.Dolphins' ultrasound ability is so sensitive that they can detect small fish from 10 feet away.

(30)

A.The quicker it vibrates, the greater the frequency of sound it produces.

B.The slower it vibrates, the higher the frequency of sound it produces.

C.The quicker it vibrates, the lower the frequency of sound it produces.

D.The frequency of sound it produces is not in proportion to the speed it vibrates.

听力原文:M: Did you see that TV special on Norman Rockwell last night?

W: Yes, I did. It was really good, wasn't it?

M: It sure was. I thought it was really interesting how he developed the paintings in states starting with photographs.

W: Yes, I did, too. It never occurred to me that he would have actually employed models. I just assumed that he invented all those wonderful characters.

M: I know. But it does make sense to use photographs of real people, to solve as many of the composition problems as possible before starting to paint.

W: True. Anyway, you know what I like most about his work?

M: What?

W: Well, when you look at one of the magazine covers, which magazine was it?

M: The Saturday Evening Post.

W: Yes, you can just tell what the people are thinking and feeling. The picture really tells a story.

M: You're right. I like that, too. And to think that he created several hundred of those.

W: Amazing. Of course, that was over a period of almost sixty years, but still...

M: I'd like to see them when that exhibit comes to Miami.

W: What exhibit?

M: The one they mentioned after the special.

W: Oh. I must have turned it off before the announcement. I'd like to see it, too. Let's go.

(20)

A.The use of photographs in painting.

B.The TV program about Norman Rockwell.

C.The Saturday Evening Post magazine.

D.Exhibits of art on magazine covers.
