W: No, I did not approve of suffragettes.
M: So you think in the long term...
W: In the long term, no harm was done. As long as their demonstrations were peaceful.
M: Do you think it would matter very much if women hadn't achieved the vote？
W: I don't think it would have made a great deal of difference, no, but there are certain things they've done those been Members of Parliament that have been very useful in helping women in their jobs, in other vocations. I think it's good that it happened. But I wish it happened a little bit more peacefully, perhaps.
M: What sort of things can you remember, what other sorts of demonstrations do you remember？
W: Marching, they were marching. But of course those were much more peaceful days, nobody interfered with their marches. There were a few boos here and there and a lot of clapping.
M: Did you, actually know any suffragettes yourself？
W: Well, my friends, my close friends, were not suffragettes but I had one or two friends, not very close friends, that were. And we used to have great arguments and I used to say I didn't want the vote, I don't want to vote.
M: How did they react to that？
W: They said I ought to join the movement but I said no, I don't want to vote.
M: So you don't mind actually joining men in their world of work and sport but you're happy to leave politics to men.
W: No. I would rather really leave politics to men.

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： Experts say some farming activities are seriously damaging Earth's environment. Bad farming methods can damage soil, forests and water supplies. They also have caused some plants and animals to disappear.
Two groups now say that bad farming methods are threatening the ability of farmers to produce enough food to feed the world population in the future.
The groups used satellite images, maps and modern equipment to study the effect of agriculture on the environment. The study found that the destruction of soil is widespread. Important organic nutrients
are being removed from farmland.
Agriculture uses seventy percent of the freshwater in the world each year. The study found that many farmers are wasting water supplies. In addition, chemicals designed to protect crops may pollute waterways.
The report also says as much as thirty percent of the world's forests have been cut down so the land could be used for agriculture. This has led to a severe loss of wildlife and their environments.

Foods That Fight Disease
With remarkable consistency, recent research has found that a diet high in plant -based foods—fruits, vegetables, dried peas and beans, grains, and starchy staples such as potatoes — is the body's best weapon in thwarting many health - related problems. These foods work against so many diseases that the same healthy ingredients you might use to protect your heart or ward off cancer will also benefit your intestinal tract and bones.
Here's what is currently known about these different disease -fighting foods. Cancer Fighters
Preventing cancer is a compelling reason to load up your cart in the produce department. Scientists have recently estimated that approximately 30 to 40 percent of all cancers could be averted if people ate more fruits, vegetables, and plant - based foods and minimized high -fat, high -calorie edibles that have scant nutritional value. Up to 70 percent of cancers might be eliminated if people also stopped smoking, exercised regularly, and controlled their weight.
In the past, researchers had linked fat consumption with the development of cancers, but they currently believe that eating fruits, vegetables, and grains may be more important in preventing the disease than not eating fat. "The evidence about a high- fat diet and cancer seemed a lot stronger several years ago than it does now," says Melanie Polk, a registered dietitian and director of nutrition education at the American Institute for Cancer Research.
Although scientists are still not certain about the specifics, they're beginning to close in on the healthful constituents of plant- based foods. In particular, they're looking closely at two components antioxidants and phytochemicals.
Antioxidants. The antioxidants (carotenoids, such as beta carotene and lycopene, and vitamins C and E) found in fruits, vegetables, and other plant -based foods fight free radicals, which are compounds in the body that attack and destroy cell membranes. The uncontrolled activity of free radicals is believed to cause many cancers.
The carotenoids, in particular, which give fruits and vegetables their bright yellow, orange, and red colors, are now gaining recognition for their nutritional worth. Numerous studies have extolled the virtues of lycopene (the carotenoid that makes tomatoes red) in preventing prostate cancer. One such study at Harvard University found that men who include tomato products in their meals twice a week could reduce their risk of developing prostate cancer by one third compared with men who never touch tomatoes.
Other lycopene - rich foods, such as watermelon, red grapefruit, and guava, are now piquing the interest of researchers. Watermelon not only yields more lycopene per serving (15 mg in 11/2 cups) than raw tomatoes (11 mg per 11/2 cups), but it's also a rich source of vitamins A and C.
Can watermelon help reduce the incidence of cancer？ No one knows for sure because there haven' t been sufficient studies. "We assume that we'll see benefits," says Penelope Perkins Veazie, Ph. D., a research scientist with the USDA's Agricultural Research Service. Researchers there plan to compare people who eat watermelon with those who eat processed tomatoes because cooking enhances lycopene absorption—o see which group absorbs more lycopene. (A 11/2 cup serving of tomato sauce packs 53 mg of lycopene. )
Phytochemicals. The phytochemicals present in fruits and vegetables protect the body by stunting the growth of malignant cells. Phytochemicals, naturally occurring substances, include indoles ([生化]吲哚) in cabbage or cauliflower, saponins ([生化]皂角苷 ) in peas and beans, and isoflavones (异黄酮) in soy milk and tofu. Investigators have only an inkling of how many phytochemicals exist and how they work. They are confident, however, that you can get a basketful of anti- cancer nutrients by mi
SECTION 4
Directions: Each question below consists of a word printed in capital letters followed by five lettered words or phrases. Choose the lettered word or phrase that is most nearly opposite in meaning to the word in capital letters. Since some of the questions require you to distinguish fine shades of meaning, be sure to consider all the choices before deciding which one is best.
