听力原文: Cambridge must be one of the best-known towns in the world, and can be found on most tourists' lists of places to visit. The main reason for its fame is its universities which started during the 13th century and grew steadily. Until today there are more than twenty colleges.
The oldest college is Peterhouse, which was founded in 1284, and the most recent is Robinson College, which was opened in 1977. The most famous is probably King's College, because of its magnificent church.
The university was exclusively for men until 1871 when the first women's college was opened. Another was opened two years later and a third in 1954. In the 1960s, most colleges opened their doors to both men and women. Almost all the colleges are now mixed, but it will be many years before there are equal numbers of both sexes.
What is the main reason why Cambridge is one of the best-known towns in the world?
A.Because it is a favorite place for tourists.
B.Because it has a famous university.
C.Because the town was started in the 13th century.
D.Because the university has twenty well-known colleges.

听力原文: "Damage is expected to total into the tens of millions of dollars after several days of flooding in south central Alaska. But it's believed no one has been hurt." Tim Wolston, of member station KSKA in Anchorage reports. "As many as fifteen homes have been destroyed and hundreds more damaged (33)in the town of Seward, southeast of Anchorage. The main road leading into Seward has been washed away cutting off the town from outside. Mayor Harry Giesler says hundreds have been evacuated; others prefer to wait it out. 'You know, Alaskans are a very hearty bunch, and especially people that have things like dog teams and animals. They are very, very reluctant to leave their home as long as it's even there.' (34)Rain is forecast to continue for at least another day in Seward. Meanwhile, north of Anchorage, two bridges have been washed away, (35)and the Alaska Railroad, a major form. of transportation between Anchorage and Fairbanks has been cut off, making it very difficult for residents in interior Alaska to get to five. The governor has issued disaster declarations to free up state fund for emergency relief. The state is hoping for federal assistance as well. For National Public Radio, this is Tim Wolston in Anchorage, Alaska."

听力原文:M: What do you think of Professor Potter's course, Jane?
W: Not much.
M: Why, what's wrong with it?
W: Oh, I don't know. It's just that he overloads it with details. The course he gave on town planning last year, it was just the same—a load of details, which you could have got from a book anyway. There was no overall ...
M: No general overview you mean?
W: Yes. I suppose you could call it that. I couldn't see the town for the buildings.
M: But you've got to have the details in this kind of subject. Anyway I think he's good. You take his first lecture for instance. I thought that was very interesting, and not at all over-detailed.
W: Well, he starts off all right, but then he just piles on the details.
M: Now you're exaggerating.
W: Well, the way he dealt with the Western developments, that wasn't bad, I suppose.
M: You seem to have got something. Perhaps Potter is a little disorganized, but I think he's good.
W: Do you really think so?
M: He does do most of his teaching to the postgraduates. He only does the one undergraduate course each year. After all, I think he tends to forget where he is. He starts off being nice and general and then tries to cram in a bit too much specialized information.
W: The main thing I object to is the lack of direction.
What does Jane think of Potter's course?
A.Very good.
B.Too general.
C.Clear and interesting.
D.Meticulous and too specialized.
What was the main difference the speaker noted on returning to his home town?
A.It was just early in the morning.
B.The school had become better than it used to be.
C.The "Shakespeare Industry" has grown more important.
D.Many Americans now lived there.
Present planning, thinking, and legislation will not produce the kinds of New Town that have been successful abroad. It will multiply suburbs or encourage developments in areas where land is cheap and construction profitable rather than where New Towns are genuinely needed.
Such ill-considered projects not only will fall to relieve pressures on existing cities but will, in fact, tend to weaken those cities further by drawing away high-income citizens and increasing the concentration of lowincome groups that are unable to provide tax income. The remaining taxpayers, accordingly, will face increasing burdens, and industry and commerce will seek escape. Unfortunately, this mechanism is already at work in some metropolitan areas.
The promoters of New Towns so far in the United States have been developers, builders, and financial institutions. The main interest of these promoters is economic gain. Furthermore, federal regulations designed to promote the New Town idea do not consider social needs as the European New Town plans do. In fact, our regulations specify virtually all the ingredients of the typical suburban community, with a bit of political rhetoric (修辞) thrown in.
A workable American New Town formula should be established as firmly here as the national formula was in Britain. All possible social and governmental innovations as well as financial factors should be thoroughly considered and accommodated (容纳)in this policy. Its objectives should be clearly stated, and both incentives and penalties should be provided to ensure that the objectives are pursued, If such a policy is developed, then the New Town approach can play an important role in alleviating America's urban problems.
The writer thinks that the idea of building "New Town" in the U.S. ______.
A.will help to solve the present urban situation
B.will produce the same sorts of results as does in Europe
C.will by no means alleviate the urban problems
D.will prevent the present urban situation from getting worse

听力原文:W:Can I help you, sir?
M: Yes, (19) I was wanting somewhere to stay for a few days--a four or five star hotel. Can you tell me something about the possibilities?
W: OK, right, well there are five hotels that might interest you. Were you wanting a city centre location, or would you be interested in something a bit further out?
M: Well, I do have a car, so I could go for either.
W: There are three central hotels in the range you're looking for--there's Carlton House and The Imperial, they're both near the main square, but if you've got your own transport you might be interested in the Royal Oak. (20)Then there's the Bridge Hotel and the Majestic--they're both in town but not in the centre.
M: That might be a bit far away from here actually. OK, now the other two you mentioned, in the city centre. Can you tell me a bit about them?
W: They're both excellent hotels. If you want something with a bit of character, Carlton House is quite unusual, a five star hotel. Or (21) there's the Imperial, which is a much more modern building. That also has its own stadium and it also has Internet connection and meeting rooms. That's five star as well.
M: Does it have a swimming pool as well as a stadium?
W: No, the Royal Oak has an outdoor pool, which is lovely in the summer, but the only hotel with an indoor pool is the Bridge Hotel. It doesn't have a stadium though.
M: I see. I think I'll probably go for one of the city centre hotels.
