听力原文: Experts on dyslexia say that the problem is not a disease. They say that persons with dyslexia use information in a different way. One of the world's greatest thinkers and scientists named Albert Einstein was dyslexic. Dr Einstein said that he never thought in words the way that most of us do. He said that he thought in pictures instead. Other famous people who suffered from dyslexia include Leonardo Da Vinci, a celebrated Roman artist, Thomas Edison, a well-Known American inventor and a former American Vice president, Nelson Rockfeller.

Dyslexia was first recognized in Europe and then in the United States over 80 years ago. Many years passed before doctors discovered that people with this disorder were not mentally slow or disabled. The doctors found that the brains of dyslexia persons are rather different. In brains of most people, the left side, the part that controls language, is larger than the fight side. In the people with dyslexia, the right side of the brain is much bigger. However, research has shown that dyslexia is more common in men than in women, and it is also found more often in people who are left-handed.

(30)

B.The left-handed men.

C.Excellent female scientists or artists.

听力原文:Thousands of persons die each year after eating or drinking poisonous substances.

听力原文: Thousands of persons die each year after eating or drinking poisonous substances. Experts say most accidental poisonings happen at or near the home. And most are caused by substances we commonly use at home: medical supplies, insect poisons or cleaning fluids. There are several common signs of poisoning. A sudden feeling of pain or sickness. Bums in the area of the mouth. Or an unusual smell coming from a person's mouth.

Health experts generally advise poison victims to drink water or milk. But never give liquids to someone who is not awake or to those having a violent reaction to the poison. Next, seek help from professional medical experts. Save the material expelled from the mouth for doctors to examine. Save the container of the suspected poison to answer questions the doctors may have. The container may also describe a substance that halts the poison's effects. Use this substance without delay.

Health experts say vomiting sometimes may be started if medical advice is delayed. But vomiting should be used only when it is known the victim took too much of what is called a general poison, such as a medicine. The experts suggest never cause vomiting if the victim was poisoned by a petroleum product or by a substance that was a strong acid or strong alkali. These victims should be taken to a medical center as soon as possible.

(23)

A.Cleaning fluids.

B.Bums.

C.Unusual smell.

D.Milk.

听力原文: Economic experts say that the world economy should improve some this year. They say there will be exploding economic growth in most of Asia. There will be moderate economic growth in the United States and Canada, and there will be little or no growth in Europe and Japan, but China is expected to have the most economic growth this year, probably ten percent.

The New Year is expected to bring more underpayment in industrial countries. The organization for economic Cooperation and Development says about 35 million people in its 24 member countries could be without jobs by the middle of the year. That would mean an average unemployment rate in industrial countries of about eight and one hall per cent. Unemployment in some European countries, however, could be much higher. It could climb to eleven and one half percent. Economic experts in the United States say the American economy will continue to expand. They say Americans are feeling sure that economic conditions are improving. This means they are willing to spend more money. Economic experts also think American industries will invest more money to increase production.

(33)

A.There will be exploding development in economy.

B.There will be moderate growth.

C.Them will be stagnation actually.

D.There will be no growth at all.

听力原文:American scientists have found that some birds are more intelligent than experts

听力原文: American scientists have found that some birds are more intelligent than experts had originally believed. The scientists say birds have abilities that involve communication and different kinds of memory. In some unusual cases, their abilities seem better than those of humans.

Griffin is a Grey parrot. He lives in his laboratory at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in Cambridge. Griffin can arrange objects in order of size. He can also combine words in the right order. For example, he will combine words when asking for a piece of food.

Some birds have other memory skills. For example, they collect and store thousands of seeds in autumn, and find them later in winter. These birds use natural objects to find the seeds they have stored. They use at least three objects, such as rocks or trees, to find the stored seeds.

A jay can be trained to choose one object instead of another. The bird uses this skill to receive a prize, such as food.Scientists also say some birds can learn as many as two thousand different songs. They say songs may have developed as a way for birds to communicate with other birds.

Scientists believe that birds must have a special guidance system in their brain. Understanding how a bird's brain operates may help us better understand how a human brain processes information.

(26)

A.Talking.

B.Communication and memory.

C.Singing.

D.Finding the way.

听力原文: After teaching three years in Shanghai, I asked to go to a remote area. I finally made it. I have always thought that experts should be sent not only to big towns where there is a lot of opportunity to talk to English speakers, but also to remote areas. My experiences in Nanping, Fu jian, strengthened my opinions.

I recently spent a month in Nanping, teaching English to teachers of English from North Fu jian. It was an experience I shall never forget. There were about 50 teachers, their ages ranging from 19 to 65. There was also a wide range of levels. Most of them had never met a native English speaker before, and few had been on courses taught by an English-speaking expert. I was very impressed with the way in which they worked together. The more advanced students patiently helped the less advanced. They spent considerable time -- some till late into the night going over the material they had learnt.

The students were full of enthusiasm and made the most of the month's course. I learnt a lot more about China. It was a very worthwhile experience, and I hope to have the opportunity to do so again. It was a perfect example of what can be achieved with good cooperation.

Why did the speaker want to work in Nanping?

A.He thought experts were more needed there.

B.He wanted to have a good time there.

C.He was invited to work there.

D.He didn't like to stay in Shanghai any longer.

听力原文: You might think the largest library in the world would be in Europe. But it isn't. It's in Washington. D.C. It's called the Library of Congress.

President John Adams started the library in 1800 for members of Congress. He wanted them to be able to read books about law. The first 740 books were bought in England. They were simply set up in the room where Congress met. Then Thomas Jefferson sold Congress many of his own books. He felt Congress should have books on all subjects, not just on law. This idea changed the library for good.

The library grew and grew. Now it covers acres of land. It contains 20 million books as well as scores of pictures, movies, globes and machines. Experts in every field work here. Hundreds of people call every day with all kinds of questions. Many of them get answers right over the phone.

The library is a large storehouse. Thomas Edison's first movie and Houdini's magic books reside there. And it is the proud owner of the world's best collection of comic books.

听力原文: A new international study shows that six people die every minute from smoking. This study shocked most people because it means 3 million deaths around the world every year.

听力原文: Why do people smoke?

One reason is that people become addicted to cigarettes. The addictive substance in cigarettes is nicotine. When people smoke, the nicotine goes right into the blood stream and makes people feel relaxed. A smoker's body gets accustomed to the nicotine and if he stops smoking he feels nervous. Many smokers try to stop smoking but because of the addiction to nicotine they feel so uncomfortable that they often find it too difficult to stop.

Another reason is that people simply enjoy smoking. Having a cigarette for many people means taking a break. For some people smoking becomes part of their daily life. Many people enjoy smoking because it gives them something to do with their hands.

Many people also like the taste of tar in cigarettes. However, it is the tar that causes cancer. While governments and health experts have tried to get people to give up smoking entirely, cigarette manufacturers have tried to keep selling them by producing cigarettes with less tar. Many people in western countries have welcomed these cigarettes since they find it hard to stop smoking but they want to reduce the risk to their health.

(30)

A.Because they like the taste of tar.

B.Because smoking makes them feel relaxed.

C.Because smoking to them means fan.

D.Because smoking is the easiest thing to get addicted to.
