Talk One

In 1782, soon after the United States won its independence, the bald eagle was chosen as the national bird of the new country. American leaders wanted the eagle to be a symbol of their country because it’s a bird of strength and courage. They chose the bald eagle because it is found all over North America and only in North America.

But a little over 200 years later, the bald eagle had almost disappeared from the country. And in 1972, there were only 3000 bald eagles in the entire United States.

The reason for the birds’decreasing population was pollution, especially pollution of the rivers by pesticides. Pesticides are chemicals used to kill insects and other animals that attack and destroy crops. Unfortunately, rain often washes pesticides into rivers. Pesticides pollute the river and poison the fish. Eagles eat this fish and poison affects their eggs. The eggs are very thin shells and do not hatch. Eagles lay two or three eggs a year because many of the eggs do not hatch that produce more eagles. The number of eagles quickly becomes smaller.

Today, the American government and the American people are trying to protect the bald eagle. The number of bald eagles is increasing. It now appears that the American national bird will survive and remain a symbol of strength and courage.

Question 1: What made the bald eagle the national bird of the USA?

Question 2: What happened to bald eagles?

Question 3: What is true about the bald eagle?

Talk Two

B. To lose his way intentionally.

C. T o pay a visit to the suburb.

D. T o wander about the streets.

5. A. To know more of the city.

B. A policeman could help him with his problem.

C. He failed to communicate with the policeman.

D. All of the above.

7. A. The policeman showed him the railway station.

B. He found the place where he lived.

C. He was misled to a wrong place.

D. He decided to stay in the country.

【答案与解析】

4.B 通过录音中的“I decided to lose my way deliberately on my second day”可知

选项B正确。

5.A 讲话者想要故意让自己迷路是因为他认为这是“this was the surest way of getting

to know my way around.”，加上前面讲到的“I did not know the city at all”可知他想更多地了解这座城市。

6.C 前面录音说，讲话者找到警察问路，因为他知道的唯一一个单词是他住处位于的街道，

但是他还是说错了，所以他没能够成功地和警察沟通。

7.C 录音讲到他顺着警察指的方向走，却发现自己走到了农村，他只好去找最近的火车站，

这就表明警察给他指错了路。

【录音原文】

Talk Two

I did not know the city at all. And on the whole, I could not speak a word of the language. After having spent my first day sightseeing in the town center, I decided to lose my way deliberately on my second day, since I believed that this was the surest way of getting to know my way around.

I got on the first bus that passed and descended some thirty minutes later in what must have been a suburb. The first two hours passed pleasantly enough. I discovered mysterious little bookshops in back streets and finally arrived at a market place where I stopped and had a coffee in an open air café. After walking about aimlessly for some time, I was determined to ask the way. The trouble was that the only word I knew of the language was the name of the street in which I lived. And even that I pronounced incorrectly. The policeman listened to my question, smiled and gently took me by the arm. There was a distant look in his eyes as he pointed left and right and left again. I nodded politely and began walking in the direction he pointed. About an hour passed and I noticed that the houses were getting fewer and grain fields were appearing on either side of me. I had come all the way into the country. The only thing left for me to do was to find the nearest railway station.

Question 4: What did the speaker want to do on the second day?

Question 5: Why did he want to do so?

Question 6: What did he find out when he decided to go back to the hotel? Question 7: What happened at last?

Talk Three

8. A. A case of active euthanasia.

B. A case of passive euthanasia.

C. A case of prostate cancer.

D. A case of community medical service.

9. A. His prostate cancer.

B. The right time.

C. His wife’s idea.

D. Three signatures.

10. A. Painfully.

B. Apathetically.

C. Peacefully.

D. Angrily.

【答案与解析】

8.A 录音中的“choose the time of his own passing”“made his decision to finish the

journey”以及“voluntary euthanasia”都显示出这里讲的是一次自愿的安乐死（active euthanasia）。

9.D 录音讲到在“obtaining three signatures required from his own doctor, a cancer

specialist and a psychiatrist and observing the nine-day cooling-off period”

之后，登特便可以自由选择自己死去的时间了。

10.C 录音讲到登特死去时房间里非常安静，他注射药物几秒后就睡着了，几分钟后就逝

世了，由这些描写可以看出登特死得非常平静。
