听力原文： The evidence for harmony may not be obvious in some families. But it seems th

at four out of five young people now get on with their parents, which is the opposite of the popularly-held image of unhappy teenagers locked in their rooms after endless family quarrels. An important new study into teenage attitudes surprisingly shows that their family life is more harmonious than it has ever been in the past. "We were surprised by just how positive todays young people seem to be about their families," said one member of the research team. "Theyre expected to be rebellious and selfish but actually they have other things on their minds; they want a car and material goods, and they worry about whether school is serving them well. Theres more negotiation and discussion between parents and children, and children expect to take part in the family decision-making process. They dont want to rock the boat." So it seems that this generation of parents is much more likely than parents of 30 years ago to treat their children as friends. "My parents are happy to discuss things with me and willing to listen to me," says 17-year-old Daniel Lazall. "I always tell them when Im going out clubbing. As long as they know what Im doing, theyre fine with it." Susan Crome, who is now 21, agrees. "Looking back on the last 10 years, there was a lot of what you could call negotiation. For example, as long as Id done all my homework, I could go out on a Saturday night. But I think my grandparents were a lot stricter with my parents than that." Questions 22 to 25 are based on the passage you have just heard. 22. What is the popular image of teenagers today？ 23. What do we know about teenagers according to the study？ 24. What do we know about todays parents compared with parents of 30 years ago？ 25. What is the passage mainly about？23．

A．They don"t want to make family decisions.

B．They don"t want to share family responsibility.

C．They don"t want to go boating with their family.

D．They don"t want to cause trouble in their families.

听力原文： In the 19th century it was common to hear people in Europe and America say that the resources of the sea were unlimited. For example, a noted biologist writing in the mid 1800s commented that all of the great sea-fish industries are inexhaustible. Today there's evidence that the resources of the sea are as seriously threatened as those of the land and the air, and the concern of conservationists now includes sea-fish as well as the African elephant, the Indian tiger and the American eagle. Further, the threat to fish is more alarming in some ways than the threat to birds and land animals because fish are a much needed food resource. Many people throughout the world depend on fish as an important part of their diets, and a decline in the fish supply could have extensive effects on hunger and population.

(23)

A．That they were in infinite.

B．That they should be carefully conserved.

C．That they were declining.

D．That they were limited.

听力原文：There is increasing scientific evidence that large cars cause more highway accide

听力原文： There is increasing scientific evidence that large cars cause more highway accidents than small cars. In the news recently was the story of a woman who died of a heart attack while driving her station wagon. The car was moving so fast that it went through the highway-dividing fence, resulting in a collision in which five people died. Those unnecessary deaths are attributable in part to the woman's choice of a large automobile. A lighter and smaller car probably wouldn't have gone through the fence, because the heavier the ear, the greater the force it will have in a collision. Furthermore, even if the lighter car had broken through the fence, its remaining energy would have been much less, and this would have reduced the chances of serious injury or death. Because of its small size, it might have missed the other car completely. The present design of the oversized automobile is largely responsible ant only for the increasing death toll on the highway but also for the rapid depletion of our resources of petroleum, for the pollution of our environment, for urban sprawl, and for the congestion and inconvenience of our cities.

(30)

A．The story of a woman who died of a heart attack.

B．The story of a car going through the highway-dividing fence.

C．The story of a collision in which five people died.

D．Large cars cause more highway accidents than small cars.

听力原文： Some people think that the best time to begin studying a foreign language is in childhood and that the younger you are, the easier it is to learn another language. There is little evidence, however, that children in language classrooms learn foreign languages any better than people over age fifteen in similar classroom situations. In fact, adults have many advantages over children: better memories, more efficient ways of organizing information, longer attention spans, better study habits, and greater ability to handle complex mental tasks. Adults see learning a foreign language as necessary for education or career. In addition, they are particularly sensitive to correctness of grammar and appropriateness of vocabulary: two factors that receive much attention in most language classrooms.

You can indeed master a foreign language—as lots of adults do. The best time to learn a foreign language is when your need is the clearest and you have sufficient time. If you feel strongly the need to study a foreign language and if you have the time to do it, the best time to begin is now.

(30)

A．Better memories.

B．More efficient ways of organizing information.

C．Better study habits.

D．More working experience.

听力原文：In the 1930s, archaeologists discovered spear points in the New Mexico town of Cl

听力原文： In the 1930s, archaeologists discovered spear points in the New Mexico town of Clovis, dated from around 13,000 years ago. The individuals who made them have since become known as the "Clovis people" and are believed by many to have been the first people to enter North America.

The "Clovis first" theory proposes that around 14,000 years ago people traveled across a land bridge that existed between Siberia and Alaska. Once in North America, their journey took them through a corridor that opened up between the ice sheets in Western Canada making them the first to be able to enter the interlor of the continent. It's an elegant and almost biblical explanation; but more recent fossil finds question the theory. Some researchers believe the first people entered North America much earlier—perhaps as long as 20,000-30,000 years ago.

In more recent years, the Pacific coast has been seen as an alternative route of entry-possibly at an earlier date than the Clovis. There is little direct evidence to support this, but fossil evidence from the islands of south-east Alaska tells us that this region, or part of it, was free of ice and may have been a refuge for animals throughout the ice age.

If animals such as bears and foxes lived here then why not people？ Fossilized human remains have been found on Alaska's Prince of Wales Island and much further south on the Channel Islands off California. These are thought to be as old as some of the Clovis .finds and it may only be a matter of time before older remains are discovered.

If people did travel down the coasts between islands, they must have used boats. Although the coastal route still lacks a lot of hard evidence, the relatively recent discovery of a stone tool off the coast of British Columbia has added support to the idea.

Why are "Clovis people" believed to first enter North America？

A．Some fossils have been discovered.

B．They were found to have lived in the area known as the refuge during the ice age.

C．Some spear points were discovered.

D．It is in accordance with the biblical explanation.

听力原文： In many societies women ere not treated as the equals of men. In some societies women must always obey the men in their lives. Other societies deny women basic equality in education, in employment, and politics. For example, in Liechtenstein, a small country in Western Europe, woman still do not have the right to vote. In the U.S. discrimination against women perhaps is not as clear as it is in some other parts of the world, but it exists. In 1971, for example, 90% of elementary school teachers were women. However, 80% of elementary school principals were men. In the same year only 7% of American doctors were women,

In the late 1960s, women's organizations began to demand an end to sex discrimination. They were quite successful. Today there are a number of laws that protect the fights of women. The women's organizations are also trying to change people's ideas about woman and about their place in society. This is a very difficult goal. New laws can perhaps change people's behavior, but they cannot always change people's ideas. As a result, the changes in ideas are slower; however, there is evidence that they are taking place.

(30)

A．Women enjoy equal fights in America.

B．Discrimination against women still exists in America.

C．Women should be allowed to vote for their leaders.

D．Women are inferior to men in managing school affairs.

听力原文： We don't know when man first began to use salt, but we do know that it has been used in many different ways throughout history. Historical evidence shows, for example, that people who lived over 3000 years ago ate salted fish. Thousands of years ago in Egypt, salt was used to keep the dead from decaying.

Stealing salt was considered a major crime during some periods of history. In the 18th century, for instance, if a person was caught stealing salt, he could be put in jail. History records that about ten thousand people were put in jail that century for stealing salt. About 150 years before, in the year 1533, taking more than one's share of salt was punishable as a crime. The offender's ear was cut off!

Salt was an important item on the table of a king. It was traditionally placed in front of the king when he sat down to eat. Important guests at the king's table were seated near the salt. Less important guests were given seats far away from it.

(33)

A．To keep fish alive.

B．To punish criminals.

C．To preserve dead bodies.

D．To help heal wounds.

听力原文：What is the shape of the universe？ The question has baffled and obsessed humankin

听力原文： What is the shape of the universe？ The question has baffled and obsessed humankind since civilization first gazed up towards the heavens. The world has yet to receive a satisfactory explanation. Now a new study hints at a possible answer. Contrary to the traditional interpretation, the study suggests the universe is finite and bears a rough resemblance to a soccer ball, or to put it more accurately, the universe looks like a 12-sided volume bounded by pentagons. Based on the new theory, a model has been made to help illustrate the alleged shape of the Universe. If proven by further evidence and inspection, the model would represent a major discovery about the nature of the cosmos.

"What makes the discovery exciting now is it's not a matter of idle speculation," said Jeffrey Weeks, a US mathematician, "There's real data to look at and there's the great possibility of getting a definite answer." Weeks has announced hints that the Universe is actually relatively small, with a hall-of-mirrors illusion which tricks us into thinking that the space stretches on forever.

While studying cosmic background radiation observed by NASA's Wilkinson Microwave Anisotropy Probe, Jeffrey Weeks, together with a team of French cosmologists, arrived at this new discovery. It is still in question whether the theory is correct. However, the idea itself is indeed appealing and inspiring.

(26)

A．A new discovery in Mathematics.

B．A new program conducted by NASA.

C．A new theory on the shape of the universe.

D．A new planet detected in space.
