Part A
Directions: Read the following four texts. Answer the questions below each text by choosing A, B, C or D . Mark your answers on ANSWER SHEET 1.
The period of adolescence, i.e. , the period between childhood and adulthood, may be long or short, depending on social expectations and on society's definition as to what constitutes maturity and adulthood. In primitive societies adolescence is frequently a relatively short period of time, while in industrial societies with patterns of prolonged education coupled with laws against child labor, the period of adolescence is much longer and may include most of the second decade of one's life. Furthermore, the length of the adolescent period and the definition of adulthood status may change in a given society as social and economic conditions change. Examples of this type of change are the disappearance of the frontier in the latter part of the 19th century in the United States, and more universally, the industrialization of an agricultural society.
In modern society, ceremonies for adolescence have lost their formal recognition and symbolic significance and there no longer is agreement as to what constitutes initiation ceremonies. Social ones have been replaced by a sequence of steps that lead to increased recognition and social status. For example, grade school graduation, high school graduation and college graduation constitute such a sequence, and while each step implies certain behavioral changes and social recognition, the significance of each depends on the socio-economic status and the educational ambition of the individual. Ceremonies for adolescence have also been replaced by legal definitions of status roles, rights, privileges and responsibilities. It is during the nine years from the twelfth birthday to the twenty-first that the protective and restrictive aspects of childhood and minor status are removed and adult privileges and responsibilities are granted. The twelve-year-old is no longer considered a child and has to pay full fare for train, airplane, theater and movie tickets. Basically, the individual at this age loses childhood privileges without gaining significant adult rights. At the age of sixteen the adolescent is granted certain adult rights which increases his social status by providing him with more freedom and choices. He now can obtain a driver's license; he can leave public schools; and he can work without the restrictions of child labor laws. At the age of eighteen the law provides adult responsibilities as well as rights; the young man can now be a soldier, but he also can marry without parental permission. At the age of twenty-one the individual obtains his full legal rights as an adult. He now can vote, he can buy liquor, he can enter into financial contracts, and he is entitled to run for public office. No additional basic rights are acquired as a function of age 'alter majority status has been attained. None of these legal provisions determine at what point adulthood has been reached but they do point to the prolonged period of adolescence.
The period of adolescence is much longer in industrial societies because ______.

听力原文：M: Hi, mum!
W: Ah, there you are, I was getting worried about you. It's late.
M: Yes. I bumped into Lyn and went to the pub for a drink. She was telling me about a funny thing that had happened to her yesterday.
W: Oh, what was that？
M: Well, she was driving home from work when suddenly she saw an old lady on her hands and knees in the middle of the road.
W: Oh, her hands and knees in the middle of the road？
M: Yes, in front of her car. She was so shocked that she stopped without warning, and the car behind crashed into hers.
W: Oh! Was she hurt？
M: No, she wasn't, fortunately.
W: And what was the old lady doing on her hands and knees？
M: I'm just coming to that -- so Lyn got out of her car. Then the old lady picked up something, and walked away without saying a word.
W: Well. I never! She was lucky, Lyn didn't run her over.
M: Well, yes. Then a policeman came but he didn't believe the story.
W: Oh？
M: Luckily there was a witness, a man waiting for the bus. He saw it all. Guess what the old lady was doing？
W: I haven't the faintest idea.
M: She was looking for a false tooth.
W: A false tooth？
M: Yes, it fell out as she was crossing the road. The witness heard her mumbling, "Oh, my gold tooth."
W: I don't believe it.
M: It's true. Ask Lyn.

听力原文：M: Doctor, I just don't know what's wrong with me. I always feel tired and rundown. My wife finally persuaded me to visit you to find out what the trouble is.
W: Looking at your case history I see that you had pneumonia four years ago and that you also had a minor operation last year. Did you have any long after effects？
M: Well. I don't remember so...
W: For instance, how long did you stay at home each time？
M: Just a couple of days. But about six months ago I was at home for about two weeks with a cold or something.
W: Did you see a doctor at that time or did you just stay at home？
M: No, I didn't see a doctor. The symptoms were about the same as this time. When I began to feel better, I returned to work.
W: And when did you start feeling so tired again？
M: It must have been about ten days ago. When I came home from work one night there just didn't seem to be any reason to go back the next day.
W: Well, it sounds as if your problem may be the kind of work you do. The tests I just made really don't show anything wrong. But I would like to make some further tests in the hospital.
M: That's fine with me.
W: All right, you can check in tonight, and I'll make the test tomorrow morning.
