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.
He was a funny looking man with a cheerful face, good natured and a great talker. He was described by his student, the great philosopher Plato, as "the best and most just and wisest man". Yet this same man was condemned to death for his beliefs.
The man was the Greek philosopher, Socrates, and he was condemned for not believing in the recognized gods and for corrupting young people. The second charge stemmed from his association with numerous young men who came to Athens from all over the civilized world to study under him.
Socrates' method of teaching was to ask questions and, by pretending not to know the answers, to press his students in to thinking for themselves. His teachings had unsurpassed influence on all the great Greek and Roman schools of philosophy. Yet, for all his fame and influence, Socrates himself never wrote a word.
Socrates encouraged new ideas and free thinking in the young, and this was frightening to the conservative people. They wanted him silenced. Yet, many were probably surprised that he accepted death so readily.
Socrates had the right to ask for a less penalty, and he probably could have won over enough of the people who had previously condemned him. But Socrates, as a firm believer in law, reasoned that it was proper to submit to the death sentence. So, he calmly accepted his fate and drank a cup of poison hemlock in the presence of his grief-stricken friends and students.
In the first paragraph, the word "yet" is used to introduce ______.

A. contrast
B. a sequence
C. emphasis
D. an example

听力原文:M: This is it. I know that it is smaller than you wanted, but it is one of the nicest apartments in the buildings.
W: Does it have three bedrooms?
M: No. There are two. The master bedroom is quite spacious though. Maybe you could let the children share the larger room, and you and your husband could use the smaller one.
W: I suppose I could do that.
M: A three-bedroom apartment will be difficult to find.
W: Yes, I know. Believe me, I have been looking for over a week. The few three-bedroom apartments that I have found are either extremely expensive or the owner won't allow children as tenants.
M: Well, the owner allows two children in this apartment complex.
W: Aren't you the owner?
M: No. I am the manager. I live here, too, on the first floor of this building.
W: Oh. That's nice. Then if anything gets broken...
M: Just leave a note on my door.
W: You said that the rent would be 350 dollars a month. Does that include any of the utilities?
M: Yes. It includes gas. Your furnace and stove axe gas, so, as you can imagine, your other utilities, electric and water, are quite inexpensive.
W: This sounds better and better. But before I sign a lease I would like my husband to see it.
M: Why not stop by with him this evening?
W: How late are you open? He doesn't get off work until five.
M: Come by at six. I will still be in the office. I am sure that you are eager to move from the hotel, and if we get the paper work out of the way tonight, you can move in tomorrow.
W: Oh, that would be wonderful.

Section B
Directions: In this section, you will hear 3 short passages. At the end of each passage, you will hear some questions. Both the passage and the questions will be spoken only once. After you hear a question, you must choose the best answer from the four choices marked A, B, C and D.
听力原文: In Britain, anyone who is physically and mentally fit and over the age of seventeen can apply for a driving licence. A learner driver is issued with a provisional licence and then gets a full licence when he has passed the driving test.
Car ownership is increasing fast and there is increasing jamming on the roads which no amount of new road and motorway building can entirely solve. The problem in the center of cities is becoming increasingly serious for not only are there problems of keeping the traffic flowing, but there is the added problem of parking, while space for new roads and parking places is not easy to find in built up city can tars. It is becoming obvious that private cars are going to have to be excluded from many central areas and people will have to use the various forms of public transport. Facilities for pedestrians are gradually being improved and many towns and cities now have streets for shopping which are used only by people on foot.
Nationally, however, there are still great problems, especially for people who don't have cars, either because they can't afford them or because they are too old or too young. Train services are decreasing and the bus services are also becoming fewer and fewer, and both stop running quite early, making it difficult to travel at night. People in rural areas and small towns are becoming increasingly isolated, and there is now a strong case for reintroducing new bus services, perhaps supported financially by the government as a social service.
