Section B
Directions: There are 2 passages in this section. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. You should decide on the best choice.
The president of the United States has one of the toughest jobs in the world. Hardly anyone else is watched so closely by so many people. Reporters follow the president patiently, eager for his opinion on everything from nuclear warheads to the outcome of a football match. The president must be careful at all times that his answers to reporters ' questions reflect his policies. In addition, wherever the president may go, he never for a moment escapes the responsibilities of his office. The evening news may show him on a working vacation, but the work is always with him.
The job seems to demand a person of outstanding ability, so you might think the US Constitution (宪法) would contain a long list of job qualifications. However, it lists only three. Article Ⅱ, Section I of the Constitution states that the President must: 1. be a natural-born citizen of the United States;
2. be at least 35 years old;
3. have been the resident of the United States for 14 years.
While Constitution lists only three qualifications for the President, the voters certainly consider many others. Among these are intelligence, good health, experience in government, ability to lead others, knowledge of national and world affairs, personality, ability to speak well, and persuasiveness.
The President is the Chief Executive of the United States and heads the executive branch of the Government. However, the President must share power with members of the other two branches of Government: the legislative (立法的) branch, or the Congress; and the judicial (司法的) branch, or the federal courts. The Constitution states the powers and duties of the Presidency; it also tells how each branch of the Government is to check the powers of the other two in order to balance the powers and prevent any single branch from abusing its power. This system of checks and balances was designed by the writers of the Constitution because they did not want any one person or branch of the Government to gain too much power.

A．The public telephones often go wrong in making a long distance call.B．It is not very
A．Women are under more stress than men.B．Women have more heart attacks than men.C．Wome
听力原文： Telephone books in the United States have white, blue and yellow pages.
The white pages list people with phones by last name. The blue pages contain numbers of city services, government agencies, and public schools. Business and professional services are listed in a special section--the Yellow Pages.
To make a long distance call, you need an area code. Each area in the U. S. has an area code. The area covered by one area code may be small or large. For example, New York City has one area code, but so does the whole state of Oregon. If you want to know the area code of a place, you can look it up in the area code map, which is printed in the front of the white pages.
There are a lot of public telephones in the U. S. They have their own numbers. If you are making a long distance call on a public telephone and run out of money, give the number on your phone to the person you' re talking with. Then hang up the receiver and he can call you back. If you make a long distance call and get a wrong number, call the operator and explain what happened. This means that you can make the call again to the right number without having to pay more money.
