听力原文： To find out how the name Canada came about we must go back to the 16th century. At that time the French dreamed of discovering and controlling more land, of expanding trade beyond their borders and of spreading their faith across the world. In 1535, Francois I, King of France, ordered a navigator named Jacques Cartier to explore the New World and search for a passage to India.
Cartier first arrived at the Gulf of the St. Lawrence, which he wanted to explore. He did not know what to expect but he hoped that this Gulf was just an arm of the ocean between two islands, if it was, be would soon be on his way to the Far East. So he sailed upstream along the St. Lawrence River. However, instead of reaching Asia he arrived at Quebec or Stadacona, as the Indians called it. It was at this point that the term "Canada" entered the country's history. Apparently the word "Canada" came from an Indian word Kanata, which means community or village. Cartier first used it when he referred to Stadacona or Quebec. What a huge village Canada is!

A．To build a new country.
B．To explore the New World.

Culture Clash？
It was the World Cup Final of France '98 that sparked the introduction of television into Bhutan. The 3-0 victory of the home side over Brazil was watched by thousands on a big screen in Bhutan's National Square,__16__Six months after that, global TV broadcasting was allowed in. It was this second development that really made people wake up to life in the twentieth century and caused profound change, according to TV analyst Shockshan Peck. 'Young people are now much more in tune with globalisation and what is happening around the world,'she says. 'The risk is that the more we learn about the world, the more we lose of our own culture.'
Bhutan has no film industry to speak of, and after a diet of cultural and educational programmes from BBS, some Bhutanese began to look for something a little more spicy.__17__ The TV avalanche began, and along with it came a change in people's lifestyles. Residents of the capital, Thimphu, say they are now glued to the TV for several hours a day, and often stay up late to watch the non-stop stream of programmes. Long-running Indian soap operas beamed from across the border ire hot favourites. One viewer, Choki Wangmo, says that her children go out and play less, and that television dominates family discussions these days. Her son, Ugyen, admits that his studies are affected because he cannot concentrate in the classroom. 'I keep thinking about what will happen next in the story,'he says.
Also popular are cartoons, football matches, and the wrestling series from the US.__18__ Kinley Dorji, editor of Bhutan's only newspaper, says that when TV first came in, he received several pained letters from students, saying they were shocked. 'Bhutanese kids who have grown up in this quiet country, this very rustic society, suddenly saw these big men beating each other upon television. They couldn't understand it.'__19__ 'We received a report from a school where a student broke his arm after being thrown to the ground by his friend, who was emulating the wrestlers.'
Kinley Dorji says that television is 'splitting' Bhutanese society. He explains that the thinking in the country is that it will never be a military or economic power, so its strength must be its unique society. He believes that TV represents a direct threat to this. __20__ 'If you look at the items being stolen, like TV sets, tape recorders and clothes, it' s directly related to what they're seeing,' he adds.
A. The latter is at the centre of a debate about the influence of television on Bhutan' s young people.
B. He also links television to a rise in crime over the period that it has been broadcasting.
C. It was such a success that a year later, on the twenty-fifth anniversary of his coronation, the king decided to begin the Bhutan Broadcasting Service (BBS).
D. However, it was not long before the children started doing it themselves.
F. So they turned to multi-channel TV, through satellite in the countryside and cable in the towns.

A．was asked B．asked
C．asking D．he being asked

听力原文：W: The Americans came from America. That's easy, isn't it？
M: I'm sorry to say you are wrong! The Americans came from almost every part of the world. That's to say, mare than 230 million people now call America home, but most of them can trace their families back to other parts of the world. That's why America has long been known as a "melting pot". It is believed that the first to arrive were the American Indians. They came titan Asia in very ancient times, more than 10,000 years ago. There used to be millions of them, but today they only number about 850,000. Half of them live on special land of their own in 31 states, while the others have "melted" in with the rest of America's 230 million people.
W: Do the American Indians have anything to do with the Indians of India？
M: No, nothing. As a matter of fact, the American Indiana came from Siberia.
W: Then, why do people call them Indians？
M: Because when Christopher Columbus made his historic voyage in 1492, he expected to reach India. So he called the people of the New World "Indians" and Indian is the name that has remained till now.

听力原文：M: How did you like yesterday's astronomy class？
W: It was interesting. But the point she was trying to make seemed a little far-fetched.
M: Oh, that new theory that ocean water came from comets？
W: Yeah. Do you remember what it was based on'？
M: Some recent satellite photos, I think. Apparently, Space satellites recently detected thousands of small comets colliding with earth's outer atmosphere, almost 40,000 per day.
W: OK, they're collided with atmosphere. So that's what created the water？
M: It's not the collision that created water. Comets contain water. They're made up mostly of cosmic dust and water. When they collide with the atmosphere, they break up. And the water they contain rains down to earth. Ocean water came from that rain.
W: Oh well, this morning I asked my geology professor about that. He said that most geologists don't accept it.
M: Why not？
W: Special research indicates that most of the water molecules from the comet would have burned up as they fell through the atmosphere. Enough rain couldn't have reached the earth to fill up the ocean.
M: Well, did the geologists have an alternative theory to explain where ocean water came from？
W: Yeah, he said the more traditional view is that the ocean water came from volcanoes.
M: From volcanoes？
W: Right. They say volcanic fumes are mostly steam. And they claimed that it was the volcanic steam that created the oceans, not rain from comets.
(20)
A．The effect of the atmosphere on rainfall.
B．How conditions on earth support life.
C．How water originated on earth.
D．A new estimate of the age of earth.
