SECTION B INTERVIEW
Directions: In this section you will hear everything ONCE ONLY. Listen carefully and then answer the questions that follow. Questions 1 to 5 are based on an interview. At the end of the interview you will be given 10 seconds to answer each of the following five questions.
Now listen to the interview.
听力原文:JM: I first encountered Parker Rossman's work in the early 1990s via his groundbreaking book, The Emerging Worldwide Electronic University: Information Age Global Higher Education (Rossman,1992). When I saw that his current project is a freely accessible online book-in-progress on the future of lifelong and higher education, I asked if he would allow Technology Source readers to learn about and participate in the project. He graciously consented to this interview.
Parker, I note on your Web site that you have three book-length volumes concerning the future of higher education: Volume I, The Future of Higher (Lifelong) Education and Virtual Space; Volume Ⅱ, Research On Global Crises, Still Primitive; and Volume III, Future Learning and Teaching.
What struck me in particular was your note asking readers to contact you if they saw errors, or if they could contribute Web site URLs or in terms of information that were pertinent to the material. As these notes indicate, you clearly regard this to be a work in progress. Certainly this is a great way to develop the manuscripts relatively quickly. What do you expect to accomplish via this technique?
PR: My objectives are to examine the ways in which a global virtual education system can come into existence and to raise questions about needed research on learning, teaching, and overcoming the problems (such as hunger, bad health, war, and revolution) that stand in the way of providing education for everyone in the world. I realize that education for all is impossible, but perhaps only in the sense that the United States, out of necessity, accomplished what was "impossible" after the attack on Pearl Harbor. I assume that H. G. Wells was right when he said that civilization is in a race between education and disaster. So I am willing to be audacious--as someone retired and with no axe to grind--and to initiate a project that might at least stimulate thought and discussion.
For 30 years or more I have been studying the university, higher education, and academia in the developing world. In the 1980s I began to see the emergence and potential of a global virtual university; this insight culminated in a book that was widely read and used and that led to my being invited to lecture in various countries. The next year Praeger published it as a paperback in their Contributions to the Study of Education series, Developing world delegates to the 1997 UNESCO conference on higher education in Paris complained that it was too expensive for them. So I said that I would put a sequel online, free to anyone in the world. I asked that, in return, they send me feedback and suggested links. And I have now accomplished this.
JM: Doesn't your online manuscript. deal with far more than higher education? Your classification is a bit confusing to me, because each volume looks like a book. Why not say that you have three books on the Web?
PR: It must be one book if it is to be holistic. It should introduce all of the needs and problems that must be dealt with at once as we enter a time of lifelong education. "Education for all" must include programs for prekindergarten children, for primary and secondary school age learners, and for college students. It also must include continuing educational programs that foster job skills, career planning, and hobbies as well as special interest programs for senior citizens. Instead of talking about a "global university", the time has come to explore possibilities for a global virtual education system.
JM: Then why do you keep speaking of the "future of the university"?
PR: It is also my assu

A. They focus on the future of education.
B. They mainly talk about education for all.
C. They require participation of readers.
D. They should be treated as one book.

听力原文: Chinese Ambassador to Japan Wang Yi called on the Japanese business community Friday to launch preparations for negotiations on a Japan-China free trade agreement. "Japan and China should start a private-sector study on a bilateral FTA," Wang said in an address to a seminar the Japan Productivity Center for Socio-Economic Development hosted in this central Japan summer resort. Chinese Vice Premier Wu Yi called for early bi- lateral FTA negotiations when she visited Japan in May. The ambassador urged the two countries to deepen their economic ties in order to improve overall relations. "Japan and China should urgently break the deadlock" that has gripped bilateral relations over the history issue, he said. Wang asked Japan to be prudent in dealing with the history issue. “China expects Japan to make decisions on its own and take appropriate steps.” In this respect, he advised Prime Minister Junichiro Koizumi to refrain from visiting Tokyo's Yasukuni Shrine dedicated to some war criminals as well as the war dead. Japan has reflected on and apologized for its past invasion of China, Wang noted. “But some people's actions and remarks have run counter to such reflection.”
What is the main idea for this passage?

A. Japanese Prime Minister Koizumi's visiting Tokyo's Yasukuni Shrine.
B. Some Japanese people's actions and remarks towards the history.
C. The deadlock between China and Japan.
D. The promotion of a Japan-China free trade agreement.
