听力原文：W: Hey, Jack. Now that the midterms are over, a bunch of us should get away for the weekend to go canoeing. Wanna come along？
M: Well, uhe, it'd be great to get away, but I've never done it before.
W: None of the others have either except for me. I went once last fall. But there ‘ll be an instructor in each canoe the first day.
M: I don't know.
W: Oh, come on. This is our last chance to take a break before finals. The scenery is beautiful, and if it gets too hot we can dive in whenever we feel like it. The river's really calm this time of the year, no rapids to deal with.
M: That's a relief. What would I have to bring？
W: Let's see. Tom's bringing food for the Friday night cookout for everyone. And the people who run the trip have tents set up and they supply food and drinks for all day Saturday. On the way back Sun day morning we'll stop somewhere for breakfast. So, you have to bring a bathing suit and a sleeping bag.
M: Well, I do love camping and sleeping out. Where is the place？
W: Well, it's about an hour and a half to the place where we meet the trip leaders. We leave our car there and they drive us and the canoes upriver to the place where we start canoeing.
M: And who's driving us to the meeting place？
W: Well, I was hoping we could take your car. Mine's in the shop again.
M: Oh, I see. It's not me you want, it's my car.
W: Don't be silly. So what would you say？
M: Oh, why not!
W: Great! I'll give you a call when I find out when everyone wants to leave on Friday.

Seven of America's Natural Wonders
Niagara Falls
The United States shares Niagara Falls with Canada. That thundering crash is the tens of thousands of cubic feet of water that flow each second over Niagara Falls which includes the American Falls and Horse- shoe Falls. The American Falls in New York State extends more than 320 meters across part of the Niagara River. The American Falls is more than 50 meters high.
Canada owns the larger Horseshoe Falls. It is about 800 meters wide and almost 50 meters high. It is shaped like the letter U, or a horse's shoe.
Niagara Falls formed about 12,000 years ago when huge melting sheets of ice formed the Great Lakes. The land was uneven with several drops in level, some very sharp. Water from Lake Erie began to flow north to Lake Ontario as a result of the loss of the ice barrier.
The Everglades(大沼泽)
The Everglades once called "the liquid heart" lies in the state of Florida.
Hundreds of birds fly in a sunny blue sky. The only sounds are bird calls and the soft noise made by tall grasses as the water slowly moves them. Hidden in the grasses, dark green alligators(美洲鳄)move at the edge of the water, like part of the Earth come alive.
This is the Everglades -- a low, watery, partly coastal area that covers 10,000 square kilometers. The area is filled with sawgrass. This plant grows in sharp, thin pieces that are 3 to 10 meters tall. The Everglades is sometimes called "river of grass."
The area also contains forests of palm, cypress(柏树), mangrove(红树林)and pine. And beautiful plants and sweet-smelling flowers grow in the Everglades. These include several kinds of the highly prized and rare flower, the orchid(兰花). Animal species are plentiful. Many colorful birds and butterflies live here. So do snakes, foxes, frogs and even big cats, called Florida panthers(黑豹). But, the Everglades alligators and crocodiles are probably the animals most identified with the Everglades. No other place in the world is home to both.
Badlands
In the state of South Dakota, the land is big and mostly flat with many fields of corn, wheat and soy-beans. But as the tourists traveling west, the cropland gives way to wild grasses. A strong dry wind blows continuously from the west.
Suddenly, the land becomes torn and rocky, dry and dusty -- no longer green and gold. It is now a light red-brown color. All around are broken disordered forms. There are hills and valleys of all sizes and strange shapes.
These are the Badlands. Hundreds of thousands of years ago the area was grassland. But, then, forces of nature destroyed the grass. Water and ice cut into the surface of the earth. They beat at the rocks, wearing them away. The result is one of the world's strangest sights.
All together, the Badlands cover more than 15,000 square kilometers. About 10 percent is national parkland. The area is a study in extremes. Temperatures in the summer have been as high as 46 degrees Celsius. In the winter they have dropped to as low as 41 degrees below zero. Life in the Badlands is difficult. But animals do survive. The most well known is the prairie dog. This small mammal lives in a series of underground passages.
The Grand Canyon
The Grand Canyon is a huge hole in the Earth in the state of Arizona. The first sight is breathtaking. The Grand Canyon stretches for hundreds of kilometers before us and hundreds of meters below us. It is about 24 kilometers across at its widest point. Its deepest point is almost 2,000 meters down.
The Grand Canyon is a series of deep long cuts in rock. There are many passages and large raised areas. There are forests on the top level and desert areas down below. They provide support for several different ecosystems. The Colorado River flows through the Grand Canyon. The Canyon offers a lot of information about

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： Nowadays, there is a growing awareness of the problem of a rapidly increasing world population. This is largely the result of improved medical skills, which have lowered the death rate and at the same time raised the birth rate by increasing live births and the number of babies who survive early, childhood. There is a growing realization that food production cannot keep pace with these increases, the result of which is that in some countries people are already starving to death while .millions more suffer from lack of nutrition. This problem is further complicated by the fact that in places like America and Europe we obtain by trade and consume far more food and resources like oil than, say, the average Indian, thus leaving even less for the people in the under developed areas to survive on. World population is rising at a rate of two percent a year, and the fastest growing region is Latin America, while Africa closely follows it. However, the largest absolute addition to the world population is in Asia which at present contains about three-fifths of the people of the world.

听力原文： Most young married couples in the United States share their duties and responsibilities both inside and outside the home. The reason for this is that they both usually have a job. Most of the young married people have to work in order to plan for their future years. For example, some people might plan for a comfortable home, some others may plan for a family and their children's education, and still some others may generally want to save for a better living.
Since a woman helps financially, a man feels that he should help his wife in the home. He may help her with the cleaning by lifting heavy furniture. Also, he may often wash and dry the dinner dishes, because his wife has to take care of the children. This usually surprises people of other cultures, because they consider it beneath the dignity of a man to help his wife, or in other words, a man shouldn't do a woman's job. In American life, however, this is just another way of showing the respect that men and women have for each other.
