题目内容

听力原文:M: Hi, Janet. Where were you at lunch time? I was saving a seat for you in the cafeteria.
W: Oh! Sorry to miss you. But my thirst for knowledge was greater than my pangs of hunger !
M: I've never had that problem. So where were you?
W: My political science class ran overtime.
M: That's been happening quite a bit lately, hasn't it?
W: I guess so. Actually what happens is that a bunch of us hang around for a while after class to talk with our professor and ask him questions.
M: Who is this twenty-first-century Socrates?
W: Professor Hall. Have you heard of him?
M: Hm, he does have a good reputation in the Political Science Department.
W: And a well-deserved one! The same students who fall asleep in discussion groups and seminars fight for front row seats in his lectures.
M: Oh, no! I hope this isn't catching!
W: You can joke. But it's great to have a professor who's not only interesting, but prepared to give up time for students.
M: I know. They're a rare breed. Maybe I should sit in on his class sometime. Do you think he'd care?
W: Not at all. Lots of students bring their friends, and he says he feels flattered.
M: Well, just to be safe, I think I'll bring my lunch along as well.
W: I'll make a good student of you yet.

SECTION B PASSAGES
Directions: In this section, you will hear several passages. Listen to the passages carefully and then answer the questions that follow.
听力原文: Although it is impossible to eliminate all risks from such a complex and experimental project as the American space programme, every precaution is taken to reduce the possibility of injury. Nevertheless, accidents do happen. The first major casualties occurred when, despite every precaution, fire broke out on the Apollo 5 capsule on January 27, 1967. In spite of every effort to save them, three men died in this terrible accident.
The programme continued without pause, however, and there were no more serious injuries until 1981. Then, the engines having been successfully tested on an earlier occasion, a rehearsal for the actual launching was held. Not knowing that an engine chamber was full of nitrogen gas, used to clean the motor, six technicians entered for routine work after the 'final rehearsal had been declared successful. They collapsed as soon as the gas entered their lungs. One man died and the others were very ill.
Though everyone involved was shocked and grieved by this apparently unnecessary accident, preparations continued for the actual launching later that year. However hard we try, accidents are bound to happen whenever a new and challenging project is undertaken. It seems to be the price of progress.
What happened on January 27th, 1967?

A. Three men were injured during a fire.
B. One man died during a fire accident.
C. A fire started inside a spaceship.
D. A spaceship was launched.

听力原文: Consumers' priorities are undergoing a dramatic shift this back-to-school shopping season as they spend significantly less on electronics and more on modest apparel. Computers, iPods and other electronic goods led the way last year--so much so that demand has been stripped this year. Overall, back-to-school spending is estimated to reach $13.4 billion, down 9.5% from $14.8 billion last year, according to the National Retail Federation. The trade association says much of the drop stems from a more than $1 billion decline in consumption of electronic goods ($2.06 billion vs. $3.09 billion last year). On average, shoppers will shell out $68.08 billion vs. $101.03 billion a year ago for electronic goods.

SECTION A CONVERSATIONS
Directions: In this section you will hear several conversations. Listen to the conversations carefully and then answer the questions that follow.
听力原文:M:My beother Mike has just done a course at the Creen Park Camping School
W: Really! What made him decide to do that?
M: Well, for one thing, some boys in his class decided to do it and they dared him to go with them!
W: You mean he didn't really want to go?
M: I think he wanted to go but I think he was also a little frightened. Of course, now that he's done it, he's very pleased with himself and he's always talking about it.
W: So he enjoyed it, didn't he?
M: Not exactly. I think he's enjoying the feeling of having done it more than he enjoyed actually doing it!
W: What sort of things did he do?
M: Oh, all sorts of open-air activities: hiking, camping, canoeing. One thing he had to do was to capsize a canoe and then right it again without getting out. He said the water was very cold but hat he hardly noticed it at the time.
W: Why not?
M: He was too busy righting the canoe.
W: That doesn't sound very comfortable at this time of the year.
M: On another occasion he had to spend a day and a night by himself in the open country.
W: Was he frightened?
M: He was at first, apparently, but then he got used to it.
W: It seems to me that the course did him a lot of good. I expect it's made him more self-reliant.
M: Now he wants me to go!

A. He was eager to do the course.
B. He had done outdoor activities.
C. He enjoyed life in the open country.
