2002年英语专四听力原文和答案

2002年专四听力答案PART I DICTATIONDisappearing forestsThe world’s forests are dispearing .∕As much as a third of the total tree cover has benn lost/ since agriculture began some 10000years ago./ The ramaining forests are home to half of the world species, /thus becoming the chief resource for their survival. /Tropical rain foreats once covered 12％of the land of the planet / as well as supporting at least half of the world species of plants and animals./ There rain forests are home to millions of pepole,/ but there are other demands on them ./For example,much has been cut for timber,/ and an increasing amount of forestland has been used for industurial purposes/ or for agricultural development, such as crop growing./By the 1900s,less than half of the earth’s original rain forests remained,/ and they continue to disappear at an alaming rate every year./ Asa result, the world’s forests are now facing a gradual extinction.PART II LISTENING COMPREHENSIONSECTION A CONVERSATIONSQuestions I to 3 are based on the following conversation.M: Do you agree that newspapers seem impersonal?W: Y es. There're no personalities involved as in radio or TV.M: Y es. But being impersonal does not mean objectivity. (1) Newspapers are written by people who have biases and prejudices.W: (3) Y ou said it. (1) On the other hand, radio and television can be just as biased as, if not more biased than, news-M: People on radio and television are trying to stick closely to a script.W: Even without a script, people will let their biases show.M: So the difference between newspapers on the one hand and radio and television on the other is personality.W: Y es. When you read a newspaper article, it's kind of cold,M: (2) There're no voice inflections.W: (2) And there're no facial expressions or body language, either.M: It could be a real exciting story, and all you can do is put exclamation marks.W: But on camera, people can interpret the words of a script in their voices and expressions.M: That would have an impact on the audience.W: Y es. People are more likely to be influenced by what's offered on radio and television than in newspapers.M: Of course, newspaper writers can use descriptive words such as adjectives or adverbs, but that's nothing compared with personalities.W: Y es.M: Personality sells.Key: 1.C 2.B 3.AQuestions 4 to 6 are based on the following conversation.W: Welcome to visit out city, Mr. Lewis-but, of course, you have been here before, haven't you?M: Y es, I have. What a good memory I have I I was here for the Arts Festival last year.W; And what will you be doing this year?M: (4) Oh,I came here primarily for a holiday and to see some friends. But I will also be giving private cello lessons as well.W: I believe that your cello is rather special. Is that true?M; Oh, yes. It was made for my uncle by a very expert German cello maker called Schuster. (5) When I began cello lessons at the age of eight, he said that when I grew big enough to handle a full-sized cello, he would give it to me.W: (5)So when a child begins to play the cello, he or she starts on a smaller instrument?M: (5) Of course, or he would be very uncomfortable. Many children begin with half-sized cello, but as I was big for my age, I began with a two-third-sized cello.W: Are you going to other places on this trip and will you take your cello with you? M: Y es, very definitely.W: But, isn't it difficult to take a cello around with you?M: Not really. (6)1 just receive two seats when I'm traveling anywhere, one for me and one for my cello. It's such a precious instrument to me that it hardly ever leaves my side.Key: 4.B 5.C 6.CQuestions 7 to 10 are based on the following conversation.M: Good morning, Miss Brown. Have a seat please. I have been looking through your application. Y ou seem to have many of the qualifications needed for this position, especially the experience.W: I have been working in hotels for eight years now.M: Oh, really. Were you satisfied with your last position?W: (7) Well, to be honest, not entirely. The chances for advancement were very slim. M: I see. Was it hard work?W: No, it's an interesting job and I loved meeting people. I know how to handle a bad-tempered guest.M: (9) But have you done anything to do with —a tour guide?W: (8)1 did work for a short time as an attendant for a tour operator, taking foreigners on guided tours of London.M: (9)Do you speak any foreign languages?W: Y es. I speak German and Spanish—you see ,(10)1 spent several years abroad when I was young.M: Oh, did you? Next is the question of salary, of course.W: ( 10) Well, I used to get 2 000 monthly, so I couldn't accept less than that.M: Well, (9) we ask for loyalty and hard work from our employees. But we pay well, and opportunities for promotion depend on merit, not just on age or seniority.W: Mr. Robert, (10) I don't mind working hard and working overtime.M: That's fine. (10)1 have a few more applicants to interview today for this position. But at the moment, your chance looks very good.W: I'm glad to hear it.Key: 7.C 8.C 9.B 10.CSECTION B PASSAGESQuestions II to 13 are based on the following passage.Even a careful motorist may have the misfortune to commit a moto ring offence. In due course, having received a summons , he will appear in (11) what is commonly known as a police-court. This is a court presided over by a civil officer, who tries cases without a jury. A civil officer, has powers to pass sentence for relatively minor offences only; serious charges are dealt with by a judge and jury.When his case comes up in court, the motorist hears his name called by the clerk of the court, and comes forward to identify himself. The civil officer then calls for the policeman who charged the offender and asks him to give evidence. (12)The policeman also is expected to give an account of what happened when the offence was committed and to mention any special circumstances. For instance, the offence may have been partly due to the foolishness of another motorist. It would be unwise for the accused motorist to exaggerate this. It will not help his case to try to blame someone else for his own mistake.The civil officer, on hearing that some other motorist is involved, will doubtless say, " What is being done about this man? ""Case coming up later this afternoon, "may will be the answer.(13) If you are guilty, it is of course wise to plead guilty and apologize for committing the offence and taking up the court's time.Key:11.A 12.A 13.BQuestions 14 to 16 are based on the following passage.Scientists say there are more than 350 different kinds of sharks.Sharks do not have bones ,(14) and a shark has an extremely good sense of smell. It can find small amounts of substances in the water, such as blood, body liquids and chemicals produced by animals. Sharks also sense electrical and magnetic power linked to nerves and muscles of living animals. These powerful senses help them find their food. Some sharks will eat just about anything. Many unusual things have been found in the stomachs of some tiger sharks. They include shoes, dogs, a cow's foot and metal protective clothing.About forty percent of the different kinds of sharks lay eggs. The others give birthto live young. Some sharks carry their young inside their bodies like humans do.Scientists are beginning to understand the importance of sharks to humans. (15) Medical researchers want to learn more about the shark's body defense system against disease. They know that sharks recover quickly from injuries. Sharks appear never to suffer infections, cancer or heart diseases.Key: 14.B 15.B 16.DQuestions 17 to 20 are based on the following passage.Not every service or product meets your satisfaction. When you are dissatisfied, you should voice your dissatisfaction. (17) One reason for doing so is to help the vendor know there is a problem. The problem may have been created at a lowerlevel in the vendor's company, and the vendor himself may know nothing about it &t all. Y ou help him when you bring weaknesses or failures to his attention.A second reason for writing a letter of complaint to a vendor is to seek compensation. Y ou may not wish to pursue the matter so far as to take legal action, but you may wish to give the vendor the opportunity of making good. ( 18) Most vendors value your business and their reputation sufficiently to replace defective goods on their own initiative or refund money when necessary. This is the preferred way of making a vendor answer your complaint. No vendor likes to do so, but (19) your carefully worded letter of complaint may motivate him to do so.When you write a letter of complaint, you'd better keep these tips in mind: ( 20 ) First, be polite though firm. Y ou will not win a vendor's cooperation by anger. Secondly, be reasonable. Show logically and factually that the fault lies with the vendor. Thirdly, be specific about what is wrong and what you want done about it. Lastly, tell how you have been hurt or inconvenienced by the problem. This strengthens your argument for compensation.Key: 17.A 18. C 19.D 20.DSECTION C NEWS BROADCASTNews Item IBritain has announced that it decided to cancel about 200 million pounds of world debts owed to it by poor common-wealth countries. The international development secretary says (21) the relief has been offered to countries committed to eliminating poverty, and pursuing good sovemment. These would include tak ing actions against corruption. At the same time, common market finance ministers are meeting in Malaysia. Britain is expected to put forth a fresh initiative on reducing the debts of the poorest countries. (22) The Charles Levine strategist has indicated that they plan to revive the scheme put forward last year by the International Monetary Fund, which has not yet provided any relief.Key: 21.D 22.BNews Item 2(23) An underground train derailed at the station in central Paris yesterday, injuring 23 people and just missing another underground train standing on the opposite track. French emergency services said the train was traveling at 35 kilometers per hour when it derailed as it entered the station. No one has been killed and no one was trapped in train during the accident. Ambulances rushed to the scene and doctors began treating casualties in the station. In a nearby cafe, some people have broken limbs and others have suffered bruising. (24) None was in a critical condition. Last night, it was not known why the train came off the tracks.Key: 23.C 24.ANews Item 3(25) Argentina civil servants held a 24-hour strike yesterday to protest pay cuts of 12-15% for anyone earning more than 1 000 V. S. dollars a month. Public service unions and the local teamsters planned to hold the protest rally in front ofthe government house. (26) The work stoppage comes after last Friday's general strike when many of Argentina's 12 millions workers stayed home after the nation's powerful General Workers Confederation, the nation's largest union group, called a one-day strike to protest spending cuts and free market reforms.Key: 25.C 26.ANews Item 4(27) Germany was due to strike a deal yesterday to close down its 19 nuclear power plants, making it the first major industrial nation to commit to withdrawing from nuclear energy. The talks between chancellor of the Kern government and the chiefs of the German energy industry began at 8: 30 p.m. (28) Closure of Germany's 19 reactors, which provided around a third of the country's electricity needs, was the key pledge of the Greenes, the junior partner in this coalition government.Key: 27.D 28.CNews Item 5(29) The UN children's program UNICEF says it plans to help millions of African children return to school or start classes for the first time next year. The agency's executive director says more than twenty-four million children in Africa are not in school because of discrimination, school fees or other factors. Meanwhile the chief UN office for refugees (30)is asking for additional fifty-six million dollars for food and housing for people fleeing ethnic violence in Sudan's western Darfur region. A spokesman says Secretary General Kofi Annan is planning to visit the region soon.Key: 29.C 30.D。

Mark the best choice for each blank on your answer sheet.People thinking about the origin of language for the first time usually arrive at the conclusion that it developed gradually as a system of grunts, hisses and cries and ( 26 ) a very simple affair in the beginning.( 27 ), when we observe the language behaviour of ( 28 )we regard as primitive cultures, we find it ( 29 )complicated. It was believed that an Eskimo must have the tip of his tongue a vocabulary of more than 10,000 words ( 30 ) to get along reasonably well, much larger than the active vocabulary of an average businessman who speaks English.( 31 ), these Eskimo words are far more highly infleeted (词尾变化的) than ( 32 ) of any of the well -known European languages, for a( 33 )noun can be spoken or written in ( 34 ) hundred different forms, each ( 35 )a precise meaning different from that of any other.The forms of the verbs are even more ( 36 ). The Eskimo language is, therefore, one of the most difficult in the world to learn,( 37 ) the result that almost no traders or explorers have( 38 )tried to learn it. Consequently, there has grown up, in communication between Eskimos and whites, a jargon ( 39 )to the pidgin English used in Old China, with a vocabulary of from 300 to 600 uninflected words. Most of them are derived from Eskimo but some are derived from English, Danish, Spanish, Hawaiian and other languages. It is this jargon that is usually( 40 ) by travellers as “the Eskimo language”.26. A. must be B. must have beenC. ought to beD. should be27. A. However B. ThereforeC. ProbablyD. Undoubtedly28.

Choose the one that you think is the best answer.TEXT AMany of the home electric goods which are advertised as liberating the modern woman tend to have the opposite effect, because they simple change the nature of work instead of eliminating it. Machines have a certain novelty value, like toys for adults. It is certainly less tiring to put clothes in a washing machine, but the time saved does not really amount to much: the machine has to be watched, the clothes have to be carefully sorted out first, stains removed by hand, buttons pushed and water changed, clothes taken out, aired and ironed. It would be more liberating to pack it all off to a laundry and not necessarily more expensive, since no capital investment is required. Similarly, if you really want to save time you do not make cakes with an electric mixer, you buy one in a shop. Ifone compares the image of the woman i n the women’s magazine with the goods advertised by those periodicals; one realizes how useful a projected image can be commercially. A careful balance has to be struck: if you show a labour-saving device, follow it up with a complicated’ recipe on the next page; on no account hint at the notion that a woman could get herself a job, but instead foster her sense of her own usefulness, emphasizing the creative aspect of her function as a housewife. So we get cake mixes where the cook simply adds an egg hersel f, to produce “that lovely homo-baked flavour the family love”, and knitting patterns that can be made by hand, or worse still, on knitting machines, which became tremendously fashionable when they were first introduced. Automatic cookers are advertised by pictures of pretty young mothers taking their children to the park, not by professional women presetting the dinner before leaving home for work.66. According to the passage, many of the home electric goods which are supposed to liberate woman___.A. remove unpleasant aspects of houseworkB. save the housewife very little timeC. save the housewife’s time but not her moneyD. have absolutely no value for the housewife67. According to the context, “capital investment” refers to money___.A. spent on a washing machineB. borrowed from the bankC. saved in the bankD. lent to other people68. The goods advertised in women’s magazines a re really meant to ___.A. free housewives from houseworkB. encourage housewives to go out to workC. make housewives into excellent cooksD. give them a false sense of fulfillmentTEXT BThe “standard of living” of any country means the average person’s share of the goods and services which the country produces. A country’ s standard of living, therefore, depends first and foremost on its capacity to produce wealth. “Wealth” in this sense is not money, for we do not live on money but on things that money can buy: “goods” such as food and clothing, and “services” such as transport and entertainment.A country’s capacity to produce wealth depends upon many factors, most ofwhich have an effect on one another. Wealth depends to a great extent upon a country’s natural resources, such as coal, gold, and other minerals, water supply and so on. Some regions of the world are well supplied with coal and minerals, and have a fertile soil and a favourable climate; other regions possess none of them.Next to natural resources comes the ability to turn them to use. Some countries are perhaps well off in natural resources, but suffered for many years from civil and external wars, and for this and other reasons have been unable to develop their resources. Sound and stable political conditions, and freedom from foreign invasion, enable a country to develop its natural resources peacefully and steadily, and to produce more wealth than another country equally well served by nature but less well ordered. Another important factor is the technical efficiency of a country’s people. Industrialized countries that have trained numerous skilled workers and technicians are better placed to produce wealth than countries whose workers are largely unskilled.A country’s standard of living does not only depend upon the wealth that is produced and consumed within its own borders, but also upon what is indirectly produced through international trade. For example, Britain’s wealth in foodstuffs and other agricultural products would be much less if she had to depend only on those grown at home. Trade makes it possible for her surplus manufactured goods to be traded abroad for the agricultural products that would otherwise be lacking. A country’s wealth is, the refore, much influenced by its manufacturing capacity, provided that other countries can be found ready to accept its manufactures.69. The standard of living in a country is determined by ___.A. its goods and servicesB. the type of wealth producedC. how well it can create wealthD. what an ordinary person can share70. A country’s capacity to produce wealth depends on all the factors EXCEPT ___.A. people’s share of its goodsB. political and social stabilityC. qualities of its workersD. use of natural resources71. According to the passage, ___ play an equally important rule in determining a country’s standard of liv ing.A. farm productsB. industrial .goodsC. foodstuffsD. export and importTEXT CHow we look and how we appear to others probably worries us more when are in our teens or early twenties than at any other time in our life. Few of us are content to accept ourselves as we are, and few are brave enough to ignore the trends of fashion. Most fashion magazines or TV advertisements try to persuade us that we should dress in a certain way or behave in a certain manner. If we do, they tell us, we will be able to meet new people with confidence and deal with every situation confidently and without embarrassment. Changing fashion, of course, does not apply just to dress.A barber today does not cut a boy’s hair in the same way as he used to, and girls do not make up in the same way as their mothers and grandmothers did. The advertisers show us the latest fashionable styles and we are constantly under pressure to follow the fashion in case our friends think we are odd or dull.What causes fashions to change? Sometimes convenience or practical necessity or just the fancy of an influential person can establish a fashion. Take hats, for example. In cold climates, early buildings were cold inside, so people wore hats indoors as well as outside. In recent times, the late President Kennedy caused a depression in the American hat industry by not wearing hats: more American men followed his example. There is also a cyclical pattern in fashion. In the 1920s in Europe and America, short skirts became fashionable. After World War Two, they dropped to ankle length. Then they got shorter and shorter the miniskirt was in fashion. After a few more years, skirts became longer again.Today, society is much freer and easier than it used to be. It is no longer necessary to dress like everyone else. Within reason, you can dress as you like or do your hair the way you like instead of the way you should because it is the fashion. The popularity of jeans and the “untidy” look seems to be a reaction against the increasingly expensive fashion of the top fashion houses.At the same time, appearance is still important in certain circumstances and then we must choose our clothes carefully. It would be foolish to go to an interview for a job in a law firm wearing jeans and a sweater; and it would be discourteous to visit some distinguished scholar looking as if we were going to the beach or a night club. However, you need never feel depressed if you don’t look like the latest fashion photo. Look around you and you’ll see that no one else does either!72. The author thinks that people are ___.A. satisfied with their appearanceB. concerned about appearance in old ageC. far from neglecting what is in fashionD. reluctant to follow the trends in fashion73. Fashion magazines and TV advertisements seem to link fashion to___.A. confidence in lifeB. personal dressC. individual hair styleD. personal future74. Causes of fashions are ___.A. uniformB. variedC. unknownD. inexplicable.75. Present-day society is much freer and easier because it emphasizes___.A. uniformityB. formalityC. informalityD. individuality76. Which is the main idea of the last paragraph?A. Care about appearance in formal situations.B. Fashion in formal and informal situations.C. Ignoring appearance in informal situations.D. Ignoring appearance in all situations.TEXT DMassive changes in all of the world’s deeply cherished sporting habits are underway. Whether it’s one of London’s parks full of people playing softball, and Russians taking up rugby, or the Superbowl rivaling the British Football Cup Final as a televised spectator event in Britain, the patterns of players and spectators are changing beyond recognition. We are witnessing a globalization of our sporting culture.That annual bicycle race, the Tour de France, much loved by the French is a good case in point. Just a few years back it was a strictly continental affair with France, Belgium and Holland, Spain and Italy taking part. But in recent years it has been dominated by Colombian mountain climbers, and American and Irish riders.The people who really matter welcome the shift toward globalization. Peugeot, Michelin and Panasonic are multi-national corporations that want worldwide returns for the millions they invest in teams. So it does them literally a world of good to see this unofficial world championship become just that.This is undoubtedly an economic-based revolution we are witnessing here, one made possible by communications technology, but made to happen because of marketing considerations. Sell the game and you can sell Cola or Budweiser as well.The skilful way in which American football has been sold to Europe is a good example of how all sports will develop. The aim of course is not really to spread the sport for its own sake, but to increase the number of people interested in the major money-making events. The economics of the Superbowl are already astronomical. With seats at US $125, gate receipts alone were a staggering $ 10,000,000. The most important statistic of the day, however, was the $ 100,000,000 in TV advertising fees. Imagine how much that becomes when the eyes of the world are watching.So it came as a terrible shock, but not really as a surprise, to learn that some people are now suggesting that soccer change from being a game of two 45-minute halves, to one of four 25-minute quarters. The idea is unashamedly to capture moreadvertising revenue, without giving any thought for the integrity of asport which relies for its essence on the flowing nature of the action.Moreover, as sports expand into world markets, and as our choice of sports as consumers also grows, so we will demand to see them played at a higher and higher level. In boxing we have already seen numerous, dubious world title categories because pe ople will not pay to see anything less than a “World Tide” fight, and this means that the titlefights have to be held in different countries around the world!77. Globalization of sporting culture means that ___.A. more people are taking up sports.B. traditional sports are getting popular.C. many local sports are becoming internationalD. foreigners are more interested in local sports78. Which of the following is NOT related to the massive changes?A. Good economic returns.B. Revival of sportsC. Communications technology.D. Marketing strategies.79. What is the author’s attitude towards the suggestion to change soccer into one of four 25-minute quarters?A. Favourable.B. Unclear.C. Reserved.D. Critical.80. People want to see higher-level sports competitions mainly because___.A. they become more professional than ever.B. they regard sports as consumer goods.C. there exist few world-class championshipsD. sports events are exciting and stimulating听力原文及解析PART II DICTATIONDisappearing ForestsThe world’s forests are disappearing. As much as 1/3 of the total tree cover has been lost since agriculture began some 10,000 years ago. The remaining forests are home to half of the world’s species, thus becoming the chief resource for their survival. Tropical rain forests once covered 12% of the land of the planet, as well as supporting at least half of the world’s species of plants and animals. These rain forests are home to millions of people. But there are other demands on them. For example, much has been cut for timber. An increasing amount of forest land has been used for industrial purposes or for agricultural development such as crop-growing. By the 1990’ s less than half of the earth’ s original rain forests remained, and they continued to disappear at an alarming rate every year. As a result the world’s forests are now facing gradual extinction.PART ⅢLISTENING COMPREHENSIONSECTION A STATEMENT1.

This would include taking action against corruption (Q18). At the same time, Common Market Finance Ministers are meetingin Mauritius.

But the bird would never repeat the name. Finally the man gave up. He picked up the parrot and threw him into the chicken house. "You are even more stupid than the chickens!"In the chicken house, there were four old chickens waiting to be killed for Sunday's dinner. The next morning, when he went out to the chicken house, the man opened the door. He was shocked by what he saw. He could not believe his eyes and ears.

You may also be sent to special centers where you learn practical skills like cooking, writ hag, and car maintenance.Around 5 percent of the prison population are women. Many prisons were built over one hundred years ago. But the government will have built 11 new prisons by next year. There are two sorts of prisons: the open sort and the closed sort. In the closed sort, prisoners are given very little freedom. They spend 3 to 10 hours outside their cells when they exercise, eat, study, learn skills, watch TV and talk to otherprisoners. All prisoners are expected to work. Most of them are paid for what they do, whether it is doing maintenance or cooking and cleaning. Prisoners in open prisons are locked up at night. But for the rest of the time, they are free within the prison grounds. They can exercise, have visitors or study. And some are allowed out of the ground to study or do community work.第14题：A.They are kept in oper prisons.B.They are allowed out of the prison grounds.C.They are ordered to do cooking and cleaning.D.They are a small portion of the prison population.参考答案：D答案解析：What do we know about women prisoners in Britain?第15题：A.Some of their prisoners are allowed to study or work outside prisons.B.Most of their prisoners are expected to workC.Their prisoners are often sent to special centers for skill training.D.Their prisoners are allowed freedom to visit their families.参考答案：A答案解析：In what way are open prisons different from dosed prisons?第16题：A.They are encouraged to do maintenance for the training centre.B.Most of them get paid for their work.C.They have to cook their own meals.D.They can choose to do community work.参考答案：B答案解析：What do we learn about prisoners in Britain?[听力原文]London taxi drivers know the capital like the back of their hands. No matter how small and indistinct the street is, the driver will be able to get you there with- out any trouble. The reason London taxi drivers are so efficient is that they have all gone through a very tough training period to get a special taxi driving license. During this period, which can take from two to four years, the would-be taxi driver has to learn the most direct route to every single road and to every important building in London.To achieve this, most learners go around the city on small motorbikes, practicing how to move to and from different points of the city. Learner taxi drivers are tested several times during their training period by government officers. Their exams are a terrible experience. The officers ask you, "How do you get from Bucking- ham Palace to the Tower of London?" And you have to take them there in a direct line. When you get to the tower, they won't say "Well done"; they will quickly move on to the next question. After five or six questions they will just say "see you in two months' time" and then you know the exam is over. Learner drivers are not allowed to work and earn money as drivers. Therefore, many of them keep their previous jobs until they have obtained their license. The training can cost quite a lot because learners have to pay for their own expenses on the tests and the medical exam.第17题：A.Because they have a driving license.B.Because they have received special training.C.Because the traffic conditions in London are good.D.Because the traffic system of the city is not very complex.参考答案：B答案解析：Why are London taxi drivers very efficient?第18题：A.Two to four months.B.About three weeks.C.At least half a year.D.Two years or more.参考答案：D答案解析：How long does the training period last?第19题：ernment officers are hard to please.B.The learner has to go through several tough tests.C.The learner usually fails several times before he passes it.D.The driving test usually lasts two months.参考答案：B答案解析：Why does the speaker think the driving test is a terrible experience?第20题：A.They don't want their present bosses to know what they're doing.B.They want to earn money from both jobs.C.They cannot earn money as taxi drivers yetD.They look forward to further promotion参考答案：C答案解析：Why do learner drivers have to keep their present job?Part II Reading Comprehension Directions: There are 4 passages in this part. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked [A]、[B]、[C] and [D]. You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the centre.Some pessimistic experts feel that the automobile is bound to fall into disuse. They see a day in the not-too-distant future when all autos will be abandoned and allowed to rust. Other authorities, however, think the auto is here to stay. They hold that the car will remain a leading means of urban travel in the foreseeable future.The motorcar will undoubtedly change significantly over the next 30 years. It should become smaller, safer, and more economical, and should not be powered by the gasoline engine. The car of the future should be far more pollution-free than present types.Regardless of its power source, the auto in the future will still be the main problem in urban traffic congestion (拥挤). One proposed solution to this problem is the automated highway system.When the auto enters the highway system, a retractable (可伸缩的) arm will drop from the auto and make contact with a rail, which is similar to those powering subway trains electrically. Once attached to the rail, the car will become electrically powered from the system, and control of the vehicle will pass to a central computer. The computer will then monitor all of the car’s movements.The driver will use a telephone to dial instructions about his destination into the system. The computer will calculate the best mute, and reserve space for the car all the way to the correct exit from the highway.The driver will then be free to relax and wait for the buzzer (蜂鸣器) that will warn him of his coming exit.It is estimated that an automated highway will be able to handle 10,000 vehicles per hour, compared with the 1,500 to 2,000 vehicles that can be carried by a present-day highway.第21题：One significant improvement in the future car will probably be ____.A.its power sourceB.its driving systemC.its monitoring systemD.its seating capacity参考答案：A答案解析：A) 事实细节题。

The parrot was unique. There was no bird like him in the whole world. He could learn to say any word except one. He could not say the name of his native town, Ketunnel. The man did everything he could to teach the parrot to say Ketunnel, but he never succeeded. At first he was very gentle with the bird. But gradually, he lost his temper. “You stupid bird. Why can’t you learn to say that one word? Say Ketunnel or I will kill you.” But the parrot would not say it. Many times the man screamed, “Say Ketunnel, or I’ll kill you.” But the bird would never repeat the name. Finally, the man gave up. He picked up the parrot and threw him into the chicken house. “You are even more stupid than the chickens.” In the chicken house, there were four old chickens, waiting to be killed for Sunday’s dinner. The next morning, when he went out of the chicken house, the man opened the door. He was shocked by what he saw. He could not believe his eyes and ears. On the floor lay three dead chickens. The parrot was screaming at the fourth, “Say Ketunnel, or I’ll kill you.”Questions 11 to 13 are based on the passage you have just heard.11. Why did the man lose his temper?12. Who killed the three chickens?13. Why was the shocked at the scene the next morning?Passage TwoIn Britain, if you are found guilty of a crime, you can be sent to prison or be fined or be ordered to do community work such as tidying public places and helping the old. You may also be sent to special centers when you learn special skills like cooking, writing and car maintenance. About 5 percent of the present population are women. Many prisons were built over one hundred years ago. But the government will have built 11 new prisons by next year. There are two sorts of prisons: the open sort and the closed sort. In the closed sort, prisoners are given very little freedom. They spend three to ten hours outside their cells when they exercise, eat, study, learn skills, watch TV and talk to other prisoners. All prisoners are expected to work. Most of them are paid for what they do, whether it is doing maintenance or cooking and cleaning. Prisoners in open prisons are locked up at night, but for the rest of the time, they are free within the prison grounds. They can exercise, have visitors, or study. And some are allowed out of the ground to study or to do community work.Questions 14 to 16 are based on the passage you have just heard.14. What do we know about women prisoners in Britain?15. In what way are open prisons different from closed prisons?16. What do we learn about prisoners in Britain?Passage ThreeLondon taxi drivers know the capital like the back of their hands. No matter how small or indistinct the street is, the driver will be able to get you there without any trouble. The reason London taxi drivers are so efficient is that they all have gone through a very tough training period to get special taxi driving license. During this period, which can take two to four years, the would-be taxi driver has to learn the most direct route to every single road and to every important building in London. To achieve this, most learners go around the city on small motorbikes practicing how to move to and from different points of the city. Learner taxi drivers are tested several times during the training period by government officers. The exams are terrible experience. The officers ask you “How do you get from Birmingham palace to the Tower of London?” and you have to take them there in the direct line. When you get to the tower, they won’t say “well done”. They will quickly move on to the next question. After five or six questions, they will just say “See you in two months’ time.” and then you know the exam is over. Learner drivers are not allowed to work and earn money as drivers. Therefore, many of them keep their previous jobs until they have obtained the license. The training can cost quite a lot, because learners have to pay for their own expenses on the tests and the medical exam.Questions 17 to 20 are based on the passage you have just heard.17. Why are London taxi drivers very efficient?18. How long does the training period last?19. Why does the speaker think the driving test is a terrible experience?20. Why do learner drivers have to keep their present jobs?。
