听力原文： And President Bush says the United States is looking into reports that Libya's government plotted to assassinate Saudi Arabia's de facto ruler, Crown Prince Abdullah. Earlier, State Department spokesman Richard Boucher said Washington heard reports last year that Libya was in contact with Saudi dissidents who had threatened violence against the Saudi royal family. Western media carried accounts of the alleged plans today. Libya has denied any involvement in a plot against Saudi rulers. Libya also stressed that it would not use violence to settle differences with other states. But Mr. Boucher said the latest reports would slow some aspects of normalizing ties with Libya.
According to the reports, Libya ______.
The author of the passage would be most likely to agree with which of the following statements about Bailyn's work？
Bermard Bailyn has recently reinterpreted the early history of the United States by applying new social research findings on the experiences of European migrants. In his reinterpretation, migration becomes the organizing principle for rewriting the history of preindustrial North America. His approach rests on four separate propositions.
The first of these asserts that residents of early modern England moved regularly about their countryside; migrating to the New World was simply a "natural spillover". Although at first the colonies held little positive attraction for the English -- they would rather have stayed home -- by the eighteenth century people increasingly migrated to America because they regarded it as the land of opportunity. Secondly, Bailyn holds that, contrary to the notion that used to flourish in American history textbooks, there was never a typical New World community. For example, the economic and demographic character of early New England towns varied considerably.
Bailyn's third proposition suggests two general patterns prevailing among the many thousand migrants: one group came as indentured servants, another came to acquire land. Surprisingly, Bailyn suggests that those who recruited indentured servants were the driving forces of transatlantic migration. These colonial entrepreneurs helped determine the social character of people who came to preindustrial North America. At first, thousands of unskilled laborers were recruited; by the 1730's, however, American employers demanded skilled artisans.
Finally, Bailyn argues that the colonies were a haft-civilized hinterland of the European culture system. He is undoubtedly correct to insist that the colonies were part of an Anglo-American empire. But to divide the empire into English core and colonial perphery, as Bailyn does, devalues the achievements of colonial culture, as Bailyn claims, that high culture in the colonies never matched that in England. But what of seventeenth-century New England, where the settlers created effective laws, built a distinguished university, and published books？ Bailyn might respond that New England was exceptional. However, the ideas and institutions developed by New England Puritans had powerful effects on North American culture.
Although Bailyn goes on to apply his approach to some thousands of indentured servants who migrated just prior to the revolution, he fails to link their experience with the political development of the United States. Evidence presented in his work suggests how we might make such a connection. These indentured servants were treated as slaves for the period during which they had sold their time to American employers. It is not surprising that as soon as they served their time they passed up good wages in the cities and headed west to ensure their personal independence by acquiring land. Thus, it is in the west that a peculiarly American political culture began, among colonists who were suspicious of authority and intensely antiaristocrafic.
The author of the passage states that Bailyn failed to ______.
SECTION B INTERVIEW
Directions: In this section you will hear everything ONCE ONLY. Listen carefully and then answer the questions that follow. Questions 1 to 5 are based on an interview. At the end of the interview you will be given 10 seconds to answer each of the following five questions.
Now listen to the interview.
听力原文： Adult Education
Interviewer: What type of people go to class at the adult education center？
Principal: Well, there are three types really. The first type are the people who want to occupy their leisure time, people who just want to use their minds a bit more. They're usually at work all day and come in the evening once or twice a week.
Interviewer: It must be quite tiring for them to start studying again and after a day's work!
Principal: Yes, but it's surprising how well most of them manage to attend regularly. And of course, apart from their interest in the course itself, it's a good opportunity for them to make some new friends.
The second type of people who come are those who left school without sitting for their exams and who find that qualifications are necessary to get a job or get promotion in the finn where they work. For these people, the content of the course must be interesting of course, but it's above all the qualification at the end which matters.
Interviewer: So you do "A" levels？
Principal: Yes, and diplomas, but not in all the courses.
Interviewer: And the third type？
Principal: Well, it's people who need to study vocational course of some kind.
Interviewer: What do you mean by vocational？
Principal: A vocational course means a training in a specific skill. The content of the course is directly related to a job of some kind. This means studying something like computers or law. If you study English Literature for example, you either do it for personal pleasure or for a qualification. You rarely do it for your job, unless of course you want to teach it. And even then you have to go to teacher training college.
Interviewer: Do you need any qualifications to start a course？
Principal: For the majority of course, none at all, as long as you're interested in the subject. However, some "A" level or diploma courses require previous qualifications, but if you can prove that you' ye some experience of the subject and need the course for your job, even this is not always necessary. You should ask the Head of Department about this.
Interviewer: What about the length of the courses？
Principal: They usually last from September to May or June. But it depends on the type of course. Often, if you're not taking an exam, you can enroll for just a term to see if you like it or not.
Interviewer: Is there any homework？
Principal: Well, "A" level and diploma courses require some extra work at home and you must make sure that you'll have the time to do this before you begin. It's surprising how difficult it is to study seriously if you finished school several years ago. For other courses there's no homework unless you want to do some.
Interviewer: And the fees？
Principal: Well, obviously, that depends on the length of the course, but for a full year it's between ￡10 and ￡25, with exam fees extra. But for unemployed people and old age pensioners, it's very much less--about a pound.
Interviewer: Not very expensive!
Principal: No, and I think most of our students would say it's very good value.
