听力原文：W: You're the editor of Public Eye. What kind of topics does your program cover？
M: Well, there are essentially domestic stories. We don't cover international stories. We don't cover party politics or economics. We do issues of general social concern to our British audience. They can be anything from the future of the health service to the way the environment is going downhill.
W: How do you choose the topic？ Do you choose one because it's what the public wants to know about or because it's what you feel the public ought to know about？
M: I think it's a mixture of both. Sometimes you have a strong feeling that something is important and you want to see it examined and you want to contribute to a public debate. Sometimes people come to you with things they are worried about and they can be quite small things. They can be a story about corruption in local government, something they cannot quite understand, why it doesn't seem to be working out properly, like they are not having their litter collected properly or the dustbins emptied.
W: How do you know that you've got a really successful program？ One that is just right for the time？
M: I think you get a sense about it after working in it in a number of years. You know which stories are going to get the attention. They are going to be published just the point when the public are concerned about that.
Questions:
What kind of topics does Public Eye cover？
How does Public Eye choose its topics？
What factor plays an important role in running a successful program？
(20)
A．Current trends in economic development.
B．Domestic issues of general social concern.

Passage Three:Questions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage:Editor:
While a new school term is about to begin, perhaps we should reconsider the matter of examinations. In July, two writers (Letters to the Editor) praised the cancellation of exams because they believe “tests don’t tell the whole story.”
As a teacher who has worked in four countries, I have had the experience that a student who earns good marks is generally a good student, and that a student’s final mark in a subject is usually a grade average of the year’s work. Of course there are exceptions, but they do not have the frequency that would give an unfair picture of a student’s ability.
The simple fact is that proper class work, diligent exam studies and good marks are almost certain indicators of a student’s future performance. The opposite is, almost certainly, incompetence.
There is no acceptable substitute for competition and examination of quality. How can teachers and future officials determine what a student has learned and remembered？ Should we simply take the student’s word for it？ Any institution that “liberates” students from fair and formal exams is misguided, if not ignorant. And surely the “graduates” of such institutions will lack trustworthiness, not to mention being rejected by foreign universities for graduate or other studies.
When all is said and done, I sense that a fear of failure and a fear of unpleasant comparison with others is at the bottom of most ban-exams (废除考试) talk. Excellence and quality fear nothing. On the contrary, they seek competition and desire the satisfaction of being the best.
第31题：Which of the following will the author of this passage probably agree with？
A) Tests are not effective in measuring the students’ abilities.
B) Tests are an effective measure of the students’ abilities.
C) Tests can only measure some of the students’ abilities.
D) Tests may not be useful for measuring students’ abilities.

听力原文：M: So you're going to be writing for the school newspaper？
W: Yes, I'm excited about it. I'm thinking about journalism as a career.
M: Oh! Congratulations! How do they decide whom to hire？
W: I have to send the writing sample. I used one of the essays I've written for the literature class, then the editor assigned me a topic to write a short article about it.
M: What did you write about？
W: Actually, it was a lot of fun. I wrote about the students' play that has been performing this month.
M: Oh, I saw that play. The director is a friend of mine. It really caused a stir around here.
W: Yeah, I know. That's what I wrote about—People's reaction to it. It's really interesting.
M: Have you finished the article？ Can I read it？
W: Sure. I just made a couple of copies. So you can have one.
M: Thanks. I wish I were a better writer. Working for the paper sounds like lots of fun.
W: Well, they're looking to add one or two photographers to the staff.
M: You're kidding! Maybe I'll go over and apply.
W: If you want, we could walk over to the newspaper office and I'll introduce you to the photography editor and some of the other photographers.
M: That will be terrific! But can we go tomorrow？ I have to go to math class now. And if we go tomorrow, then I'll have time tonight to gather a portfolio of photographs to show them.
M: sure. Or maybe you should call and set up a time to meet tomorrow.
M: Good idea. I'll do that before I go to class.
W: All right. See you tomorrow.

The Lure of a Big City Vacation
[From the Tower of London to Paris' Eiffel Tower, historic landmarks and one-of-a-kind attractions have long lured travelers to the world's great cities.]
"It becomes, at least for some people, a kind of pilgrimage in the sense that you want to finally see the Statue of Liberty and it's in New York and you have to go to New York to see it," said Witold Rybczynski, a professor of urbanism at The Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania.
"There isn't a second version of it anywhere else."
This sort of unique attraction, combined with the excitement d city life and a concentration of cultural opportunities, fine dining, shopping and accommodations brings some visitors back again and again.
"There's such a vast range of riches in a small, pretty easily navigated space. That's definitely what attracts me to cities," said Don George, global travel editor for Lonely Planet Publications.
Few large cities have remarkable natural scenic attractions to build upon, so they tend to rely on heritage and cultural sites to set themselves apart, according to Douglas Frechtling, a professor of tourism studies at George Washington University.
Visiting cities gained popularity in the 18th and 19th centuries, as the landed aristocracy in Britain increasingly sent their sons — and occasionally their daughters — to round out their education on a Grand Tour of the celebrated sights and cities of continental Europe, Frechtling said. America's nouveau riche adopted this tradition in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, and later, less well-heeled travelers joined the tourist ranks.
"In terms of what we might call mass tourism or middle-class tourism, that really didn't develop until after World War II," Frechtling said. "It was just too difficult and too expensive to travel."

Now the allure of big cities seems as potent as ever. The number of visitors to central Paris in 2004, for example, is estimated at 25 million, according to the Paris convention and Visitors Bureau.
New York City welcomed 39.9 million visitors to the five boroughs in 2004 and is expecting a tally of nearly 41 million for 2005, according to NYC & Company, the city's official tourism marketing organization.
Getting acclimated to the pace and logistics of a large metropolitan area can take a little time.
"I recommend when you get somewhere, you either ask a taxi driver to take you around or you get on one of the tourist buses that allow you to pay a one-day fee and travel in the circuit as often as you want, so that you get a visual idea of the city," said Ruth Jarvis, series editor for Time Out Guides, in a phone interview from her London office.
Whether you're visiting a big city for the first or 15th time, a good map is essential. Even locals carry maps to navigate London, Jarvis said, so there's no shame in standing on a street comer peering at yours.
In some cities, local volunteer guides will help guests discover the destination, Jarvis said. In New York, Big Apple Greeters offers this service.
Jarvis recommends walking as much as possible because it gives you more opportunities to discover the local culture and get a sense of a city's layout. When using public transportation, Jarvis suggests taking buses over subways for the same reason. "If you're just a little bolder and you get buses, then you're above ground and you can pick up where you are so you have the confidence to make your own explorations a little later."
Most cities offer discount transportation cards that can save you motley if you anticipate frequent bus or subway trips. Keep your hotel's address on hand and have the hotel give you the number of a reputable cab company to keep with you, Jarvis suggests. Renting a cell phone in an international de

Freed by Sudan, "Geographic" Reporter Arrives Home in U. S.
After 34 days in a Sudanese jail, National Geographic journalist Paul Salopek, who had been charged with spying, landed in his home state of New Mexico on Sunday morning.
At the time of his arrest, Salopek, 44, had been freelance reporting for National Geographic magazine on the Sahel region, which stretches east -west across Africa along the southern edge of the Sahara.
Don Belt, Salopek's editor for the Sahel assignment, embraced the reporter upon his arrival and later said he might have lost a little weight, but he looks like he's none the worse for wear.
"We're over the moon about Salopek's return", Belt added.
Salopek, who is on a scheduled leave of absence from the Chicago Tribune, arrived in Albuquerque with his wife, his Tribune editor, and New Mexico Governor Bill Richardson.
Salopek said it feels "fantastic" to be home.
"It' s great to see my wife, who's been through a lot - in some ways more than myself - in the last 35 days," he said.
After he's spent some time with his family, Salopek says, he plans to "make rounds in Chicago and Was hington" to thank his friends at the Tribune and the National Geographic Society.
"I can never really repay them," he said. But, he joked at a press conference Sunday at the Albuquerque international airport, what he can do is "rack up an enormous beer bill."
On behalf of National Geographic, Belt thanked Richardson, the Tribune, Sudan's ambassador to the United States, and Jimmy Carter. The former U.S. President had written to Sudanese President Omar A1 - Bashir on Salopek's behalf- a gesture that had been kept secret until Sunday.
(Both National Geographic News and National Geographic magazine are parts of the National Geographic Society.)
Once Salopek is back on the job, he intends to return to Africa, first to Chad to check up on his two assistants, who were arrested and freed alongside him. Then he will complete his National Geographic assignment in Chad, Mali, Niger, Nigeria, and Senegal.
Detained in North Darfur
The Pulitzer Prize winner and his Chadian assistants -driver Idriss Abdulraham Anu and interpreter Suleiman Abakar Moussa- were arrested on August 6 after traveling from Chad to Sudan's troubled Darfur Province without a visa.
The border crossing had been a last minute decision, Salopek said at the Sunday press conference.
Normally, the three would have been deported. Instead, on August 26 they were charged with espionage, passing information illegally, and disseminating "false news", in addition to the charge of entering the country unlawfully.
The three men were confined to a single cell in El Fasher, capital of North Darfur Province.
From the cell, Salopek says, they could see protestors daily inveighing(痛骂) against the United States and the United Nations, which are leading an effort to deploy a UN peacekeeping force to neighboring Darfur Province.
Salopek and his cellmates, though, weren't without welcome company.
U.S. soldiers - in the region advising an African Union peacekeeping force - discovered that an American was being held in El Fasher and took up his cause.
"They visited us virtually every day," Salopek said. "They were like our guardian angels."
The effort to free the reporter and his colleagues, though, wasn't exactly heavenly.
It was like a "carnival ride," Salopek said, "up and down, day to day."
The Release
Governor Richardson flew to Sudan on Thursday to negotiate the three men's release on humanitarian grounds, Thanks in part to prior dealings with the Sudanese ambassador to the U.S. and with Sudanese President Omar A1 - Bashir, Richardson succee

For the past decade, Bill Keaggy, 33, the features photo editor at The St. Louis Post-Dispatch, has been collecting grocery lists and since 1999 has been posting them online at www.grocerylists.org. The collection, which now numbers more than 500 lists, is strangely addictive. The lists elicit twofold curiosity—about the kind of meal the person was planning and the kind of person who would make such a meal. What was the shopper with vodka, lighters, milk and ice cream on his list planning to do with them？ In what order would they be consumed？ Was it a he or a she？ Who had written "Tootie food, kitten chow, bird food stick, toaster scrambles, coffee drinks"？ Some shoppers organize their lists by aisle; others start with dairy, go to cleaning supplies and then back to dairy before veering off to Home Depot. A few meticulous ones note the price of every item. One shopper had written in large letters on an envelope, simply, "Milk."
The thin lines of ink and pencil jutting and looping across crinkled and tom pieces of paper have a purely graphic beauty. One of life's most banal duties, viewed through the curatorial lens, can somehow seem pregnant with possibility. It can even appear poetic, as in the list that reads "meat, cigs, buns, treats."
One thing Keaggy discovered is that Dan Quayle is not alone—few people can spell bananas and bagels, let alone potato. One list calls for "suchi" and "strimp". "Some people pass judgment on the things they buy," Keaggy says. At the end of one list, the shopper wrote "Bud Light" and then "good beer." Another scribbled "good loaf of white bread." Some pass judgment on themselves, like the shopper who wrote "read, stay home or go somewhere, I act like my mom, go to Kentucky, underwear, lemon." People send messages to one another, too. Buried in one list is this statement: "If you buy more rice, I'll punch you." And plenty of shoppers, like the one with both ice cream and diet pills on the list, reveal their vices.
What would people usually do with their grocery list after shopping？
A．Buying what it is scrawled on the paper.
B．Recording the shorthand of where we shop.
C．Throwing it into the dustbin.
D．Posting it on the Internet.
