听力原文：In many places in the world today, the poor are getting poorer while the rich are

听力原文： In many places in the world today, the poor are getting poorer while the rich are getting richer, and the programs of development planning and foreign aid appear to be unable to reverse this trend. Nearly all the developing countries have a modern part, where the patterns of living and working are similar to those in developed countries. But they also have a non-modern part, where the patterns of living and working are not only unsatisfactory, but in many cases are even getting worse.

What is the typical condition of the poor in developing countries？ Their work opportunities are so limited that they cannot work their way out of their situation. They are underemployed, or totally unemployed. Some of them have land, but often too little land.

Many have no land, and no prospect of ever getting any. There is no hope for them in the rural areas, and so they drift into the big cities. But there is no work for them in the big cities, of course no housing. All the same, they flock into the cities because their chances of finding some work appear to be greater there than in the villages. Rural unemployment then becomes urban unemployment.

(23)

A．The poor places are getting richer.

B．The rich places are getting richer.

C．The poor places are getting poorer.

D．Both B and C.

听力原文： Many egg-laying animals merely lay their eggs and leave. Turtles, for instance, and horseshoe crabs, the eggs hatched and the little ones are their own. The current theory about birds is the earliest birds did just that when they were cold-blooded creatures living in warm places. However, when they became warm-blooded creatures living in cold places, they had to remain on the eggs to keep them warm. For this, they needed a place--a nest. Very likely, the first nest was just a primitive hole scraped in the ground. Even now many species still lay eggs in this sort of crude nest. Primitive nests found on the ground were fine for some birds, but others began to elevate their nests in branches, perhaps to avoid predators. These early elevated nests were probably loose platforms of sticks and dried leaves. The type is still built by some birds today. The latest development in nest, the most recent vision, so to speak, is the cup-shaped nest. This is the one we regard today as the typical bird's nest, you know, like a robin's nest.

A．Their flying ability improved greatly.

B．They became warm-blooded.

听力原文：In many places, ice is as widely used as bread, and it would be surprising indeed

听力原文： In many places, ice is as widely used as bread, and it would be surprising indeed if ice did not give birth to many special phrases.

The expression, "to break the ice", meant, to make your first move, to do something for the first time; it was not possible until the ice was broken. Later, the expression developed another meaning, covering a relationship between people. When you have not broken the ice with someone, you have not yet cleared the. way to his trust in you, to his friendship, You must get through to him, just as the small boats had to clear the river's ice jam.

When you tell someone that he "cuts no ice" with you, you are making certain things clear to him — that you are not moved or impressed or influenced by him in any way. You are putting it to him straight — that he is getting nowhere with you.

"Skating on thin ice" is something else again. This means that a man may be doing or saying something risky. It might be offensive and get him into trouble. Thin ice is not much support; if he is not more careful, he may sink right through.

In sports or any other kind of contest, you will hear the phrase, "The game is on ice" or "It is iced up". This simply means that the game is really over, that one side is so far ahead that the other cannot catch up. There is no longer any doubt as who the winner will be.

What is the meaning of "Skating on thin ice"？

A．One may be doing something quite difficult.

B．One may be doing something quite risky.

C．One may be doing something quite annoying.

D．One may be doing something impossible.

听力原文：The vast oceans of the world are dark, deep and mysterious places where eyesight

听力原文： The vast oceans of the world are dark, deep and mysterious places where eyesight counts for little as soon as you venture very far beneath the surface.

For humans, who live in a world dominated by visual stimuli, to exist in such conditions would be impossible. But for whales and dolphins that live in the ocean or, in the case of a few species, muddy rivers, the darkness is unimportant. What is important to them is sound.

Sound is an efficient way to transmit and sense information, especially as it travels five times faster through water than through air. If humans shout to someone, it is unlikely that they will be heard a kilometer away. But if a whale shouts in an ocean channel, another whale may hear it tens, if not hundreds, of kilometers away.

Whales and dolphins use sound in two ways: for communication and for echolocation. Dolphins and toothed whales communicate through a wide variety of high-frequency sounds.

But as well as using sounds to communicate, toothed whales and dolphins also rely on echolocation to learn about their immediate environment, including prey that might be waiting nearby. They produce intense short broad-band pulses of sound in the ultrasonic range. These clicks are brief, typically less than one millisecond long—but they are repeated many times each second.

(4)

A．Sense of sight.

B．Sense of hearing.

C．Sense of smell.

D．Sense of taste.

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.
