听力原文： For a second day, soldiers and volunteers dug into the rubble of homes to locate survivors and pull out the dead from towns and villages in Indian Kashmir. Rescue teams also began the trek to the more isolated regions affected by the quake as overnight rain cleared.
The quake struck close to the line of control dividing disputed Kashmir between India and Pakistan.
The Indian controlled area appears to have suffered less damage than that controlled by Pakistan but authorities say they cannot assess the damage accurately until they reach isolated areas.
Efforts to clear roads buried under landslides are in full swing. The army has opened the main highway that connects Kashmir to the rest of India, and teams of doctors and Red Cross volunteers are on their way.

听力原文： The Russian navy is carrying out a big rescue operation to save the lives of 7 men trapped in a diving vessel at the bottom of the Pacific Ocean. 10 Russian ships and a Japanese ship have been sent to the scene off the Kamchatka Peninsula. The Russian news agency Tass quoted a Russian navy spokesman as saying that the Americans had also been asked to help. From Moscow, Steve Rosenberg has this report.
The incident happened off the Kamchatka Peninsula 9,000 kilometers east of Moscow. The deep-sea submersible which is normally used for underwater rescue operations was taking part in a military training exercise on Thursday morning, when its propeller got twisted in fishing nets, dragging the vessel to the bottom of the Pacific Ocean. There are reported to be 7 submariners on board. The Russian navy has launched an urgent rescue mission. The fleet's commander has described the. situation as complex and serious.

听力原文： Are electric cars the way of the future？ Automobile manufactures are under pressure to develop ca rs that do not pollute. One powerful motive is a California law requiring that by the year 2000 ten percent of new car sells in the state be so called zero-emission vehicles. These cars must put no pollutants whatsoever into the atmosphere.
California is a huge market for the automobile companies, so they are working hard to meet these standards. So far the electric car seems to be the best alternative. So the big advantage of electric cars is that they don't pollute. However they will be in competition with gas-powered cars and that's where the weaknesses come out.
The big problem is that the batteries that power electric cars weigh a lot relative to the amount of power they deliver. For instance, in one prototype electric car, the batteries weighed 400 kilograms. And they provide enough energy to go 250 kilometers before recharging, which takes eight hours. Compare that to a moderately fuel-efficient conventional car, it can go 600 to 700 kilometers on a tank of gas and refilling takes just minutes. If there are other drains on an electric car's batteries besides the motor, headlights, air conditioning or a heater, its already limited range will be significantly reduced. So automobile engineers are trying to make more powerful batteries that would increase the cars' range and make them more attractive to buyers.
