听力原文:W: Wake up, Frank, time to rise.
M: Ha, oh, hi, Jane, I must have fallen asleep while I was reading.
W: You and everyone else. It looks more like a campground than a library.
M: Well, the dorm's too noisy to study in, and I find this place is quiet.
W: Have you had any luck finding a topic for your paper?
M: No. Professor White told us to write about anything in cultural anthropology. I wish she had not given us so much of a choice.
W: Well, why not write about the ancient civilizations of Mexico. You seem to be interested in that part of the world.
M: I am, but there is too much material to cover. I'll be writing forever, and White only wants five to seven pages.
W: So then limit it to one region of Mexico, Say the Uka town. You've been there and you said it's got lots of interesting relics.
M: That's not a bad idea. I brought many books and things back with me last summer, that would be great resource material, now if I can only remember where I put them.
What was Frank doing when Jane approached him?
A. Chatting with his friends.
B. Sleeping.
C. Reading.
Doing his assignment.
听力原文:M: You will have to forgive me if I sound angry. But I am terribly upset.
W: Well, what seems to be the trouble?
M: This ear! You just sold it to me six months ago. And now it looks as though I'll have to get a new transmission.
W: That's a little unusual. I've never heard of that kind of problem before.
M: I had the car in here just a couple of weeks ago because the oil light on the dashboard stayed on all the time.
W: I think I remember that. We had that fixed up, didn't we?
M: Sure. The light stayed off after that. But that's when the other trouble started.
W: What other trouble? You know that since you bought the car here, we'll do every thing we can to help.
M: That's what they said in the service department. Anyway, I heard this terrible rattling in the motor, and then the car just seemed to lose all its power. I couldn't even get up the hill in front of my own house.
W: Did you get in touch with us about that?
M: It happened on a Sunday. I had to have the car towed to my own service station. And when they looked at the motor, they said the transmission had been burned out. On a car that's only six months old, I never heard of anything like this—especially in a fancy, expensive car like this one.
W: Well, maybe that's covered by the warranty. Let's go into the manager's office and talk this matter over.
Where did the conversation probably take place?
A. In the manager's office.
B. It is not indicated.
C. In an automobile salesroom.
D. Over the phone.
听力原文:W: I just found the most useful device at that new outdoor store, a water purifier.
M: A water purifier? You want to carry even more equipment with you on our hiking trips?
W: If it's lightweight and saves work, yes. And this one fits that description.
M: Really? I bet it takes up a lot of room.
W: Not at all. It's a straw. Much like the one you use to drink a soda or milkshake.
M: Really? That is small.
W: Ya. It's a plastic, and has a series of mineral and chemical filters that strain harmful microbes from water.
M: Yes. But how good a job can it do filtering the germs out of stagnant pond water or water from lake and streams?
W: It's fantastic. It makes the water entirely germ free.
M: But, what about salt or chemical pollutants that maybe in the water. Does it clean those out?
W: No, it doesn't remove salt and chemicals, but those are not really major concerns when we're out hiking and camping.
M: Mm. How long will a straw last?
W: For about 100 gallons, but don't worry about measuring that large amount of water. There is a built-in safety feature. The mineral and chemical filters become clogged long before the limit has reached and the straw stop drawing water.
M: I think I'll get one for my camping trip this weekend. It'll sure be carrying a lot of water or having to boil it at the camp site.
Where will the special straw probably be most useful?
A. In restaurants.
B. On camping trips.
C. In science laboratories.
D. On car trips.
