听力原文：The basic flag of the United States is one of the world's oldest national flags.

听力原文： The basic flag of the United States is one of the world's oldest national flags. Only the basic flags of Austria, Denmark, Great Britain, the Netherlands, Sweden, and Switzerland are older.

The first official flag of the United States was created by Congress on June 14,1777. It consisted of 13 alternate red and white stripes and 13 white stars in a field of blue, representing the 13 colonies that had declared their independence in 1776. Congress adopted a new flag of 15 stars and 15 stripes in 1795, to give representation to the two new states admitted into the Union, Vermont and Kentucky.

By 1817, there were 20 states in the Union, and it became apparent that adding one stripe for each new state would destroy the shape of the flag. As a result, in 1818, congress restored the design of 13 stripes and provided that each state was to be represented by one star. In 1912 President William H. Taft made the first official provision for the arrangement of the stars. He ordered that there be six even rows of eight stars each. Previously, the arrangement of the stars had been left to the flag-maker's fancy.

The evolution of the Stars and Stripes reflects the growth of the United States. After the admission of Hawaii into the Union in 1959, the flag was officially changed for the 26th time since its creation.

听力原文： What do we mean by a satisfactory standard of living？ Obviously, it must include the basic necessities of life such as food, clothing and shelter. To obtain these necessities on a regular basis, a person must have a reliable income. But we have other needs which we would probably also describe as basic, for example, health and education facilities and security.

All of these we may define as our needs. But most of us would be far from satisfied if we had nothing more than these provided for us. We all enjoy having extra income to spend on things such as books, sports, or hobbies. Sometimes we save some of this extra income to provide for future expenditure of this type on holidays, for example. So in addition to our basic needs, we must add our wants. Our standard of living is the degree to which these needs and wants are satisfied.

Why are we far from satisfied with our basic needs？

A．Because we should save extra money for future expenditure.

B．Because we have other wants in addition to our basic needs.

C．Because we all enjoy reading books.

D．Because man is never satisfied even if he has everything he wants.

听力原文：The human nose has given to the languages of the world many interesting expressio

听力原文： The human nose has given to the languages of the world many interesting expressions. Of course, this is not surprising. Without the nose, we could not breathe or smell. It is the part of the face that gives a person special character. For example, a large nose is said to indicate a great man—manly, courageous, courteous, and intellectual.

In English there are a number of phrases about the nose. For example, "to hold up one's nose" expresses a basic human feeling—pride. People can hold up their noses at people, things and places.

A person who is led around by the nose is one that lets other people control him. On the other hand, a person who follows his nose lets his instinct guide himself.

For the human emotion of frustration, the phrase "to have one's nose put out of joint" is very descriptive. The expression applies to people who have been turned aside because of a competitor. Their pride is hurt and they feel humiliated. This expression is not new. It was used by Erasmus in 1542.

This is only a sampling of expressions in English dealing with the nose. There are a number of others. However, it should be as plain as the nose on your face that the nose is more than an organ for breathing and smelling!

(33)

A．Courteous and intellectual.

B．Polite and masculine.

C．Brave and intelligent.

D．Considerate and romantic.

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.
