题目内容

听力原文:W: Russ, it's good to see you.
M: Good morning, Vera. Nice to see you.
W: So the job market is good, ha? M: It's very good. Employers planned to hire about 14% more grads this year than last, a very good time to be an accounting major, engineering major, finance major, but really the demand is across the board. It's the best job market we've seen in 4 or 5 years.
W: And what do you attribute this hiring surge to?
M: Ah, largely a reflection of the economic conditions. Corporate growth of course has been good, corporate profits arc strong, so companies feel more comfortable hiring. As you know, the entry-level market is most sensitive to the economic conditions.
W: Right.
M: Conditions are good; hiring is on the up.
W: What about, what about starting salaries? Are they higher this year than years past?
M: Those are very good as well. You, ah, there are up about 6 percent more this year than last with the average starting salary at a whopping 46,000 dollars. And you can do better than that, if you're engineering major or looking at potentially 50 -55 thousand dollars to start, perhaps even the signing bonuses are making a comeback as well.
W: Hmm. You've got some advice, er, for college grads as they're looking for a job. The first thing you say is do not rely on the Internet. Why?
M: Don't rely ,on the Internet as your only job searching strategy. It's fine if it's a component of the strategy, but should not be your only strategy, because only about 20 percent of the jobs are advertised in any public medium and only about 5 percent of the job seekers actually end up getting a job through an advertisement. So your best job searching tool, networking, word of mouth, getting the "no word" out there.
W: Yeah, that's a good point.
Which of the following major is NOT popular in the job market?

Accounting major.
B. Engineering major.
C. Science major.
D. Finance major.

听力原文: American researchers say cutting down trees in snow regions might help counter the effects of global warming. The findings highlight the complexity of the planet as it'd previously been understood that mass deforestation contributed to global warming. It's been a woe cry for environmentalists in recent years "Mass deforestation contributes to global warming." But that argument may now have to be revised. Scientists in the United States have run a simulation of the effects of large-scale clearing. And they find that if trees were to be cut down in the icy northern regions, it would actually cool down the Earth. The reason: snow reflects sunlight and the great pine forests of Russia, Europe and Canada shade tens of thousands of hectares of reflective snow.
What might help control global warming according to American researchers?

A. Planting more trees.
B. Cutting down trees in snow regions.
C. Melting snow.
D. Growing flowers of a certain species.
