听力原文:W: Well, I'm going to the National Museum of Art.
M: Sure. Hop in.
W: Uh, how long does it take to get there?
M: Well, that all depends on the traffic, but it shouldn't take more than twenty minutes for the average taxi driver.
And I'm not average. I have been driving down to an art, so we should be able to cruise through traffic and get there in less than twelve minutes.
W: Okay. Uh, sorry for asking, but do you have any idea how much the fare will be?
M: Oh, it shouldn't be more than 18 dollars.., not including a... uh-hum... a tip of course.
W: Oh, and by the way, do you know what time the museum closes?
M: Well, I would guess around 6:00 o'clock. And it's 4:30 now. Uh, this is your first time to the city, right?
W: Yeah. How did you know?
M: Well, (19)you can tell tourists from a mile away in this city because they walk down the street looking straight up at the skyscrapers.
W: Was it that obvious?
M: Well...
W: Oh, before I forget, can you recommend any good restaurants downtown that offer meals at a reasonable price?
M: Well, (20) the Mexican restaurant, La Fajita, is fantastic. It's not as inexpensive as other places I know, but the environment is quite pleasing, and the portions are larger than most places I've been to.
W: Sounds great! How do I get there from the museum?
M: Well, you can catch the subway right outside the museum. There are buses that run that way, but you would have to transfer a couple of times. And there are taxis too, but they don't run by the museum that often. (21) So I strongly recommend you to take the subway.
W: (21)Thanks for your advice.

听力原文:W: Thank you, (22)Professor, for coming to our program and answer the listeners' questions.
M: You're welcome. I'm glad to be here sharing my knowledge of English with all the learners.
W: Well, talking about learning English, is there any difference between Canadian English, British English and American English?
M: Yes. In some aspects, the English spoken by Canadians is different from that of the British people while in other aspects it is different from American English.
W: Some people hold that Canadian English must be a dialect of British English because Canada was once a colony of Britain and ever since her independence she has remained a member country of the British Common Wealth. Is that true?
M: No. This is a false idea. According to history, the first batch of English speakers settling down in Canada were not from Britain but from the United States. They were the so-called American "loyalists"—Americans who had moved northwards into Canada after the American Revolution for Independence. (23)They were called "loyalists" because after the American Revolution, they remained loyal to the British crown, Thus, it seems more appropriate to regard Canadian English as a variety of American English in origin.
W: I see. Then, is there anything peculiar about Canadian English?
M: (24)Canadian English is a unique dialect with demurs similar to both American and British English. Although Canada is a large country, the pronunciation of Canadian English is quite uniform. from the east coast to the west coast.
W: That's interesting. What about the spelling system?
M: This is a difficult question to answer. (25)Generally speaking, the British spelling system is chosen for more prestigious articles while the American spelling system is for the popular topics.

听力原文: Hezbollah's electoral victory in south Lebanon gives the militant group more muscle to strongly rebuff international calls to lay down its weapons and become a purely political party.
The strong endorsement at home, however, gave Hezbollah what it sought: a popular mandate that flies in the face of U.S. and U.N. demands for it to disarm.
"Because the resistance is a natural result of Israel's aggression and its wars and massacres in Lebanon, it was not stage for the south to declare frankly before international observers that it belongs to the resistance," said Parliament Speaker Nabih Berri, leader of the Shiite Amal movement, which shared the Hezbollah ticket.
The HezboUah-Amal alliance won all 17 of the contested seats by a wide margin, Interior Minister Hassan Sabel said. The ticket also took six unchallenged seats.
Sunday's vote increased Hezbollah's legislators in south Lebanon from four to five. The group also won a seat in Beirut last week in the first round of the staggered elections, which continue over four Sundays until June 19.
The results give a slight political edge to those considered allies of Syria, which was forced to withdraw in April after nearly two decades of military and political control over its smaller neighbor.
The pro-Syrians now hold 23 seats, compared to 19 by the opposition that had demanded Syria's withdrawal. Hezbollah, backed by both Syria and Iran, had nine seats nationwide in the outgoing 128-member legislature.
The United States, Canada and Israel have listed Hezbollah as a terrorist organization. While the European Union has not listed the group as terrorist, it has expressed concerns about the group and called for its disarmament in line with last year's Security Council Resolution 1559.
Hezbollah has refused to disarm. It has been backed on this point by the Lebanese government, which argues that Hezbollah is legitimately resisting Israel's alleged occupation of a parcel of territory on the south Lebanon border.
The elections are the first national polls to be conducted since Syria withdrew all its troops from Lebanon in April after the Feb. 14 assassination of former Premier Raflk Hariri in a massive bombing. The anti-Syrian opposition hopes the elections will end Damascus' control of the legislature.
______ tins NOT listed Hezbollah as a terrorist organization yet.

A. Canada
B. European Union
C. Israel
D. the United States
