听力原文：The inhabitants of Tango, a small island in the South Pacific, discovered a plant

听力原文： The inhabitants of Tango, a small island in the South Pacific, discovered a plant that contained a powerful drug. This drug made it more difficult for them to think rationally—it stopped them worrying about the future, and enabled them to forget all their problems. At the same time, it made it much easier for them to relax and enjoy themselves: so much so, indeed, that the whole population of the island stopped working and spent all their time singing and dancing and looking at the sea. Unfortunately this had a very bad effect on the country's economy, and people began to run short of food. This, however, didn't discourage the people from taking the drug. The Prime Minister made speeches on the TV warning them about the drug, but nobody took any notice, and before long the economy was in ruins. This forced the Government to make the drug illegal. But that only made the situation worse. The law couldn't prevent the people from taking the drug, which grew wild all over the island. Eventually, the Government found a better solution: they exported the drug to other countries. This saved the islanders from having to work more than one day a week, and allowed them to spend the rest of their time sitting in the sun without a care in the world.

听力原文： The year is 2501, and the Earth is desperately short of fuel. All Earth's coal, oil and wood have been used up long ago, and scientists have been sent to the ends of the universe in search of alternative forms of energy.

A rich and powerful civilization has been discovered on the planet Jupiter, and Earth is supplied with fuel by constant supply fleets from that planet, but the price is very high. Unless it discovers an alternative source of energy soon, civilization on Earth will fail, and its inhabitants will have to move to other planets where they will be little more than slaves. Then Jupiter will take possession of Earth-- the most beautiful, most desirable planet in the universe.

Human scientists have been sure for a long time that Jupiter possesses a method of creating constant energy and now ten explorers on a secret mission from Earth have discovered the secret--a kind of heavy, green dust which will change salt water to high grade petroleum. This dust covers a large part of Jupiter's surface, and just a few pounds of it could solve the world's energy crisis since it would reproduce itself continuously in Earth's atmosphere.

(23)

A．Explorers.

B．Doctors.

C．Teachers.

D．Coal-miners.

听力原文：In the Middle Ages, the Italian city of Venice assumed its role as the glassmakin

听力原文： In the Middle Ages, the Italian city of Venice assumed its role as the glassmaking centre of the western world. The Venetian merchant fleet ruled the Mediterranean waves and helped supply Venice's glass craftsmen with the technical know-how of their counterparts in Syria, and with the artistic influence of Islam. The importance of the glass industry in Venice can be seen in the number of craftsmen at work there(more than 8,000 at one point).

Until the end of the 13th century, most glassmaking in Venice took place in the city itself. However, the frequent fires caused by the furnaces led the city authorities, in 1291, to order the transfer of glassmaking to the island of Murano. The measure also made it easier for the city to keep an eye on what was one of its main assets, ensuring that no glassmaking skills or secrets were exported.

In the second half of the 15th century, the craftsmen of Mnrano started using quartz sand and potash made from sea plants to produce particularly pure crystal. By the end of the 16th century, 3,000 of the island's 7,000 inhabitants were involved in some way in the glassmaking industry.

(30)

A．Its merchant fleet ruled the Mediterranean.

B．The secrets of Syria's glassmaking were known by Venice's craftsmen.

C．Venice's glassmaking industry was artistically influenced by Islam.

D．It had more than 8,000 craftsmen at one point.

听力原文： London in the 17th century was very attractive, like many European cities of the time. There was a beautiful cathedral, St. Paul's, and a magnificent Town Hall, the Guildhall. Also, there were many attractive churches and important buildings. There was one large bridge across the River Thames, and on the south side of the river there were one or two theatres, including Shakespeare's theatre, the Globe.

However, the majority of the half a million inhabitants of the city lived in small houses in narrow, dirty streets. There were no drains, so people threw their dirty water and rubbish onto the street. Because of this, there was a strong smell and there were many rats and flies. In 1665, there was a great plague in the city of London. At least 70,000 people died and many others left London and went into the country for several months. Then slowly the plague died away and people started to return from the country.

On September 2, 1666 at about three o'clock in the morning, a fire suddenly started in a baker's shop in Pudding Lane. There was a strong wind and the fire spread quickly from one street to the next. The fire lasted for three days and destroyed 13,200 homes and 88 churches, including St. Paul's Cathedral, the Guildhall and many other important buildings. This was the end of the old city of London.

(33)

A．Near Town Hall.

B．In a narrow, dirty street.

C．Behind many attractive churches.

D．On the south side of the River Thames.
