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: Each year car theft costs us about £300 million, and burglary sets us back by another £150 million.
Yet the police reckon that one car in five is left unlocked, or with windows open, or with expensive goods temptingly on display. It is estimated that over 60% of homes still do not have any window locks, although that's better than a few years ago when it was near 90%.
These facts illustrate a basic truth. The truth is that most criminals are on the lookout for a soft touch. They are not hardened "professionals" who set out with particular targets in mind, but young, inexperienced or unsophisticated. What they're looking for is a house or car that will let them get in, get what they want and get away quickly. In short, an easy opportunity.
Many of these opportunities can just as easily be removed, by fitting and using locks, or by taking other very simple precautions. And if we can foil small-time criminals with modest individual effort and cost, how much more could be achieved by working together in Neighborhood Watches? Or in other local activities involving police, councils, businesses, voluntary groups and schools? More radically still, what might we see if more systematic effort was made to design anti-crime features into cars, houses and estates?
This is not a pipe dream it's already happening.
Each year, car theft and burglary together costs us about______.
A. £300
B. £150
C. £450
D. £250

听力原文: The European allies will resume talks with Iran in Paris on Tuesday to insist that the nation restrict its nuclear activities to civilian purposes, a leading Genuan legislator said.
"The Europeans are very clear about that," Volker Ruehe, chairman of the foreign affairs committee in the German parliament, said Wednesday.
Ruehe was in Washington primarily to talk to Bush administration officials about Germany' s drive for a reorganization of the U.N. Security Council that would give Germany a permanent seat.
On a recent visit to Iran, Ruehe said, he found lower-level Iranian officials saying openly "they want to go nuclear." He said they view having nuclear weapons as a matter of national pride, which makes negotiating a ban on weapon development a political problem.
With strong U.S. support, Germany, Britain and France have taken the lead in seeking a negotiated settlement.
If talks fail, the United States and the allies have agreed to take their concerns to the International Atomic Energy Agency's board in Vienna and probably then to the U.N. Security Council, where the United States would be expected to push for economic and political sanctions.
The German delegation went to Washington ______
A. informing US President George Bush of its recent visit to Iran
B. consulting with US President George Bush for Iron's nuclear development
C. talking about political and economic sanctions to be imposed on Iran
D. asking America' s favor for its proposal to victory U.N. Security Council
