听力原文： Is it possible to persuade mankind to live without war？ War is an ancient institution which has existed for at least six thousand years. It was always bad and usually foolish, [32] but in the past the human race managed to live with it. Modem ingenuity has changed this. Either Man will abolish war, or war will abolish Man. For the present, it is nuclear weapons that cause the most serious danger, but bacteriological or chemical weapons may. before long, offer an even greater threat. If we succeed in abolishing nuclear weapons, our work will not be done. It will never be done until we have succeeded in abolishing war. [33] There are those who say that the adoption of this or that ideology would prevent war. I believe this to be a big error. All ideologies are based upon dogmatic statements which are, at best, doubtful, and at worst, totally false. Their adherents believe in them so fanatically that they are willing to go to war in support of them. [34] To prevent war, we need to persuade mankind to look upon international questions in a new way. [35] It is not easy to change very old mental habits, but this is what must be attempted for the survival of human beings.

听力原文：W: Hello, Dr. Christianson.
M: Hello, Cathy, what can I do for you？
W: Well, [22] I need an extension for my report on whales. Next Wednesday I am supposed to present in class and hand my report in, but I won't be ready.
M: You had six weeks to work on this, and [23] I have a policy of penalizing heavily for late assignments. You lose 20% the first day, and 10% for each day after.
W: Well, my computer broke down and I lost everything. I have taken the computer into the Campus Computer Center but they cannot retrieve any of my files.
M: [24] 1 can sympathize with the computer issue, because it happened to me once when I was a student. My computer crashed just as I was on the last page of a 10,000-word essay. I assume this will be a lesson to you.
W: Oh yes.
M: Well, let's look at the calendar and see if there is another opportunity for your presentation and report.
W: What about on November 29？
M: Let me see, no, that wouldn't work as Jane Clark is doing her presentation that day.
W: I'm not sure I can get it finished much sooner as I have to start writing the report from scratch.
M: Well, perhaps I can allow you to hand in your report on November 29, but the presentation must be sooner. Looking at my calendar, the only possible day would be November 22. [25] Rob Metcalf was supposed to present that day but I understand he was in a serious car accident and had to withdraw from university.
W: I didn't know that.
M: So, we have arranged for you to present on November 22, and hand in your report on November 29.
W: Thanks again, Dr. Christianson.

Picasso's art was not just a pleasant distraction. The artist believed that art helps to penetrate further into the world and into men for understanding. With his unusually acute senses, with his intense, black eyes, Picasso saw every subject as no one else did. He tried to express the essence of his subject. He showed people how to grasp a new concept of beauty. He made them realize that beauty can have a diversity of forms. "Now is the time in this period of change and revolution to use a revolutionary manner of painting and not to paint like before." That was Picasso's idea. Believing it is the artist's function to discover new forms of expression, he liberated art and made our feelings about it more acute.
Picasso keeps all of art alive. His work encompasses 'all of the past and foretells the future of art. His early paintings were sober and sensible, in the academic style. But Picasso was among the first artists to appreciate the vitality of the primitive African masks and idols that he saw in exhibitions in Paris before the First World War. Later, he experimented in recreating the artist's world as Cezanne had analyzed it, "You must see in nature the cylinder, the sphere, the cone"— "the little Cubes," as one artist called them. This Cubist vision of the world introduced a new period in the history of art and influenced all the forms of self-expression in the first half of the twentieth century: sculpture, architecture, ballet, theater design, and all the decorative arts. Even the zigzag camouflage (伪装) used in modern warfare was suggested by Cubist (立体派) art.
In 1925, Picasso began to explore an uncharted world, the surrealist world, the dream world beyond reality. He traveled in the unexplored regions of the mind and expressed thoughts never uttered before by an artist. His giant canvas, Guernica, made in 1937 to commemorate the Basque town bombed by German planes flying for Franco in the Spanish Civil War, is a picture of a ruined world with strange shapes of dying horses and murdered children. It is a violent expression of revolt against the horror of modern warfare, in a language not understood by the ordinary man. Many people have not yet been able to accept this modern, revolutionary kind of art, which Picasso influenced more than any other one artist. Perhaps his art will not be fully under stood for many years. "Everyone wants to understand art," protested Picasso. "Why not try to understand the song of a bird？" He explained further, "I don't read English. An English book is a blank to me. This doesn't mean that the English language doesn't exist. Why should I blame anyone else but myself if I can't understand what I know nothing about？"
For those who can understand his art, Picasso ranks among the great artists who illuminate the world and help men to see life more clearly. As Michelangelo himself a great artist, said, "Some merit the name of eagles because they surpass all others and break through the clouds to the light of the sun." In the world of art, Pablo Picasso is surely among the eagles.
