听力原文: Bill Gates, the head of the world's biggest computer software company, has a mission: "to put computers on every office desk and in every home." Bill Gates has had this mission since he was a university student years ago. [26] This deep personal interest, together with his technical skill and his business marketing, skills, helped him to create a giant computer company and to make him wealthy.
Although he is so wealthy, Bill Gates does not want to give up. He is still very interested in his vision and he travels the globe, from Beijing to London, making quick stops in cities to sell the new software products of his company.
The central vision of Bill Gates is the "information highway". [27] This is a network of computers that will link every home, office and shopping mall in the future. This computer network system will have an effect on business, shopping and education. Bill Gates says that the main use of this new technology will be in communication. It will be a way to find people with common interests and to share opinions with them.
But is this communication by computer along the "information highway" really a good thing? Won't we be sitting at home, only "socializing" with our computer? No, says Bill Gates. In fact, the computer network will let us choose our own intellectual direction. It will give us freedom. [28] It will also bring good to society, because it will allow for the spread of education. When more and more people receive education, the gap between rich and poor will be narrowed.
(27)

A. His vision and his travel all over the world.
B. His expertise and business marketing skills.
C. The money we pay for the "information highway".
D. His confidence in software products.

听力原文:M: Why do you think that way?
W: While I admit there is very little discrimination here on campus towards orientation, appearance and nationality, [19] women are not treated equally. Women are not represented in many faculties. They also hold fewer senior faculty positions, are not represented well in administration and, do you know, not once has there been a female president of the student union.
M: You are running for president of the student union on the issue of equality, but you are not going to be a winner, I suppose. Most students feel women have equality nowadays.
W: Not the students I have talked to, particularly the women. [20] My brother is a lawyer and he says the women in his fn-m have to work much harder than the men if they want to become a partner in the firm.
M: [19] So you are going to champion women's rights for the election.
W: Yes, [19] my campaign will focus on that but I will not ignore other issues such as transportation, cafeterias and so on. I have been a student here for 4 years and am aware of all the issues. If I can make this campus a better place for all students, then as a woman, I would be setting an excellent role model. And, I am sure I can do a better job than Jerry did this year.
M: What did Jerry accomplish this year?
W: [21] Next to nothing. He put pressure on the cafeterias to be a little more environmentally friendly [21] but that is all about it.
(20)

A. To prove women's diligence.
B. To seek gender equality on campus.
C. To improve transportation and accommodation.
D. To put pressure on male students.
