听力原文：M: Hi, Hellen. How are you doing？
W: Pretty good. Thanks. (19)Have you helped me look at my graduate school application, and the statement of purpose I wrote？
M: Well, yeah. Basically it's good. What you might actually do is to take some of the different points here and actually break them out into separate paragraphs, like your purpose for applying for graduate study, specialty, and why do you want to do the area you specify, what you want to do with your degree when you get it.
W: OK, right.
M: So you may expand on each point. Expand some more on what's happened in your life and what shows your motivation and interest in this area geology.
W: OK, so make it a little more personal？ That's OK？
M: That's fine. They look for that stuff. It's critical that somebody see what your passion is and your personal motivation for doing this. (20)You might give a little more explanation about your unique undergraduate background, like the music program, what you got from that and why you decided to change. I mean it is kind of unusual to go from music to geology. Right？
W: Yeah. I was, I was afraid of that, you know, maybe the personal type stuff wouldn't be what they want. But...
M: You know, I think probably your music background is the most unique thing that you get your records.
W: Right.
M: So you see, you get to make yourself stand out from a couple of a hundred of applications. Does that help any？
W: Yeah, it does. It gives me some good ideas.
M: Also, (21)think about presentation, I mean the presentation formats, your grammar, and all that stuff they are looking at in your materials at the same time.
W: Right. OK.

Section B
Directions: There are 2 passages in this section. 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.
The most noticeable trend among today's media companies is vertical integration -- an attempt to control several related aspects of the media business at once, each part helping the other. Besides publishing magazines and books, Time Warner, for example, owns Home Box Office (HBO), Warner movie studios, various cable TV systems throughout the United States and CNN as well. The Japanese company Matsushita owns MCA Records and Universal Studios and manufactures broadcast production equipment.
To describe the financial status of today's media is also to talk about acquisitions. The media are buying and selling each other in unprecedented numbers and forming media groups to position themselves in the marketplace to maintain and increase their profits. In 1986, the first time a broadcast network had been sold, two networks were sold that year -- ABC and NBC.
Media acquisitions have skyrocketed since 1980 for two reasons. The first is that most big corporations today are publicly-traded companies, which means that their stock is traded on one of the nation stock exchanges. This makes acquisitions relatively easier.
A media company that wants to buy a publicly-owned company can buy that company's stock when the stock becomes available. The open availability of stock in these companies means that anybody with enough money can invest in the American media industries, which is exactly how Rupert Murdoch joined the media business.
The second reason for the increase in media alliances is that beginning in 1980, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) gradually deregulated the broadcast media. Before 1980, for example, the FCC allowed one company to own only five TV stations, five AM radio stations, and five FM radio stations; companies also are required to hold onto a station for three years before the station could be sold. The post-1980 FCC eliminated the three-year rule and raised the number of broadcast holdings allowed for one owner. This trend of media acquisitions is continuing throughout the 1990s, as changing technology expands the market for media products. The issue of media ownership is important. If only a few corporations direct the media industries in this country, the outlets for differing political viewpoints and innovative ideas could be limited.
What do Time Warner and Matsushita have in common？
