听力原文： In Britain, if you are found guilty of a crime, you can be sent to prison or be fined or be ordered to do community work such as tidying public places and helping the old. You may also be sent to special centers when you learn special skills like cooking, writing and car maintenance. About 5 percent of the present population are women. Many prisons were built over one hundred years ago. But the government will have built 11 new prisons by next year. There are two sorts of prisons. The open sort and the closed sort. In the closed sort, prisoners are given very little freedom. They spend three to ten hours outside their cells when they exercise, eat, study, learn skills, watch TV and talk to other prisoners. All prisoners are expected to work. Most of them are paid for what they do, whether it is doing maintenance or cooking and cleaning. Prisoners in open prisons are locked up at night, but for the rest of the time, they are free within the prison grounds. They can exercise, have visitors, or study. And some are allowed out of the ground to study or to do community work.

Which of the following is NOT a way to punish the one who commits a crime？

A．To be sent to a prison.

B．To be tortured physically.

听力原文： Most summer school courses in Britain last for two to four weeks. During that time the students live either with a British family, or at the school, or in a hotel. They have about 15 hours of lessons every Monday to Friday--usually in the morning. Each school has a lot of different courses. Some are for beginners and others are for intermediate or advanced students. The lessons are time the classes are small and the teachers are all from English-speaking countries.

But summer school students don't just speak English in the classroom. They are in Britain, so they speak and read and hear it outside too. That's why they learn so quickly and why a summer school course is really a holiday. Only one third of each course is taught in the classroom. The rest takes place during a busy afternoon and evening timetable of visits, sports and games. These activities help everyone to make new friends, have fun and improve their English.

(23)

A．Courses in British history.

B．Language courses.

C．Courses in sports.

D．Teacher training courses.

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：In Britain, just after the main television news programs, audience figures rise.

听力原文： In Britain, just after the main television news programs, audience figures rise. It' s weather forecast time. The BBC broadcasts 44 live forecasts a day, 443 hours of weather a year, using forecasters from the Meteorological Office. The Office makes predictions about the weather seven days in advance. These are based on observations from the ground, from satellites and from radar. The observations are stored in a computer that can do up to 4,000 million calculations a second.

In Britain the weather is news. The BBC forecasters are professional meteorologists, but they do not have an easy job. They are the only presenters on television who do not use a script, and they cannot see the map that they are describing. Viewers are often critical, especially of female presenters. One woman left her job after rude letters and press reports about her clothes.

The British talk about weather more than almost any other subjects, so it is a surprise to discover that 70 percent of television viewers cannot remember what they saw on the weather forecasts. "What happens is that people like watching and hearing the forecasts, but they probably only take real notice when they need to--when they' re going on holiday or wondering what the weather will be like for the tennis at Wimbledon," says one forecaster. "Or, of course, when we make mistakes!"

(33)

A．Forty-four.

B．Four hundred and thirty-three.

C．Eighty-eight.

D．Four thousand million.

听力原文：Visitors to Britain may find the best place to approach local culture is in a tra

听力原文： Visitors to Britain may find the best place to approach local culture is in a traditional pub. The mysterious rituals of British pubs must be taken into consideration.

Most pubs have no waiters. You have to go to the bar to buy drinks. This may sound inconvenient, but there is a hidden purpose. Pub culture is designed to promote sociability in a society known for its reserve. Standing at the bar for service allows you to chat with others waiting to be served. The bar counter is possibly the only site in the British Isles in which conversation with strangers is considered entirely appropriate and really quite normal behavior.

"If you haven't been to a pub, you haven't been to Britain." This tip can be found in a booklet, Passport to the Pub: The Tourists' Guide to Pub Etiquette, a customers' code of conduct for those wanting to sample "a central part of British life and culture". The trouble is that if you do not follow the local rules, the experience may fall flat. For example, if you are in a big group, it is best if only one or two people go to buy the drinks. Nothing irritates the regular customers and the bar staff more than a gang of strangers blocking all access to the bar while they chat and hesitate about what to order.

(26)

A．Church.

B．Art museum.

C．Buckingham Palace.

D．Local pubs.

听力原文： At this moment some 170, 000 young people throughout Britain are suffering what is potentially the most tense and anxious time of their lives. That is the number of students currently preparing to sit for their A-levels -- examinations which will decide whether a student proceeds smoothly on to the next level of the academic ladder or whether six years of work at secondary- school level will end in the bitter disappointment of failure.

In the medical "stress-charts", examinations rank somewhere behind a death in the family, a divorce or even the loss of a job; but the symptoms of anxiety are all the more weakening because they are before the event rather than after it, but many in themselves are enough to bring about the student's worst fears -- failing.

The most crucial point about pre-examination stress is that it is something the student catches from other people. He or she is not, after all, the only person with an interest in the examination result. The pride of parents is risky, and of teachers who may see the results as measure of their own professional worth. The line between well-intentioned encouragement and harmful pressure can be a fine one, and easily crossed.

(30)

A．117,000.

B．17,000.

C．170,000.

D．1,070.
