听力原文:Friend: OK, so what happened when you got to the airport?
Pauline: Well, I waited in a queue for ages and finally it was my turn to come up to the desk. So I presented my passport and she said 'I think you need a visa'. And I said 'No I don't, I was there six years ago and it was OK then'. So ... and I said. and she said 'Well your travel agent should have told you'. So anyway she went away to check and when she came back I just knew by the look on her face that I needed a visa. And my flight was going to go just then. And I said 'What will I dot And so she called over the OSLrep, they' re the people I booked through, and they were very nice to me and they said, ' Well you've got to go to London and get your visa. And I said ' Well can' t you have it at the airport?' And they said 'No'. And so, so then they said, ' Well the best thing to do is to get on this coach and go down to London'. So I got on a coach but there was pea-soup fog everywhere and so I sat on the motorway for two hours. And the whole time thinking what I am doing? And so I got down to London. And it took li. terally three minutes, I filled in a form, they stamped my passport, thanks. And then I had to ring the airline and try to get a flight out. And they kept saying ' Ring back in an hour. Ring back in an hour. Ring back in an hour'. And every time I had to ring back they' d say ' Sorry. Well, the nearest flight we' ye got is from Newcastle tomorrow morning.'
Friend: Oh no. You didn't go to Newcastle.
Pauline: No, I didn't go to Newcastle. Luckily, they kept ringing and ringing and ringing and meantime I had to kill time in Green Park. It was a hot, hot day and I was catrying all my luggage and I then kept walking back to Victoria Station.
Friend: Oh, you weren't in Lutun. You were waiting in London.
Pauline: That's right. I then went to London. And then, so I kept ringing and then eventually they got me a flight out to the airport.., er to Ibiza.
Friend: From Luton?
Pauline: No, from Gatwick actually. So then because I was in London that was nearer Gatwick I had to then stay in ' London so I had to phone a friend and he was out for two hours, and then he wouldn't be home for another two hours so I killed four hours before I got to him, stayed the night with him. He drove me to the airport the next morning. Then the plane was delayed. So I was getting really frightened by this time. And so then eventually I got on the plane and it was delayed by engine trouble and so on. And then I got out there, and I got out there five minutes after the air-line office dosed and there was no'message for me.
Friend: Oh my God.
Pauline: So I thought 'I don't know what to do'. And all the other people kept saying ' Well, get in a taxi' and you know what it's like in a foreign country. You think 'I can't get in a taxi. It'll cost me the earth'. But in fact they said 'Well it's never far in these places'. And so then I decided. OK, so I got in a taxi.
Friend: But you had the address?
Pauline: Well luckily ... I didn' t have the address before I left home but luckily at Luton airport I'd asked for the address, so I had the address. Right. So then the Taxi drove me out to the airport.., to the villa, and we took ages to find it. We were searching round eventually found it...

听力原文: Not only farmers but also scientists have studied weather forecasting. People for many centuries and in all countries have studied the weather and tried to make weather forecast. Sometimes distant objects such as hills and tall trees seem to be very clear and near. This is a sign of much water in the air, and therefore rain will probably come. When distant sounds, such as noise from a train, birds singing, people shouting, are very clearly heard, then wet and stormy weather is on the way. (30)Some birds, particularly swallows, fly high if fine weather is coming, but they fly very near the ground if rainy weather or a storm is on the way. This is because probably the insects, which they are hunting, then fly low. (31)If you see a rainbow during rainy weather, this is a sign that the weather will clear up and become fine. Such rainbows always come in the evening. If the stars twinkle-clearly at night, then fair weather will continue. If a mist appears in the early morning, just about sunrise, then the day will be warm. If the sunset is mostly red in color, then the following day will be fine. When big clouds disappear at sunset, then the weather will follow on the next day. (32)If a rainbow appears in the morning, then rainy weather will probably come. Most of the above sayings have been made up by people who have used their eyes and their brains to forecast the weather.
(30)

A. Because both farmers and scientists try to make weather forecast.
Because people in all countries make weather forecast.
C. Because it is easy to make weather forecast.
D. Because he wants to make it clear how important to make weather forecast.

听力原文: Football is the most popular game in England: one has only to go to one of the important matches to see this. Rich or poor, young or old, one can see them all there, shouting for one side or the other. (26)To a stranger, one of the most surprising things about football in England is the great knowledge of the game which even the smallest boy seems to have. He can tell you the names of the players in most of the important teams; he has pictures of them and knows the results of large numbers of matches. He will tell you who he expects will win such and such a match, and his opinion is usually as good as that of men three or four times his age. (27)Most schools in England: take football seriously--much more seriously than nearly all European schools, where lessons are all that important, and games are left for the children themselves. (28)In England it is believed that education is not only a matter of filling a boy's mind with facts in the classroom, education also means the training of character; and one of the best ways of training character is by means of games, especially team games, instead of working for himself*alone. The school therefore plans games and matches for its pupils. Football is a good team game. It is good both for the body and the mind. That's why it is every school's game in England.
(27)

A. People of all age like watching football.
B. Children know a lot about football.
C. People all shout for the team they support.
D. Football is the most popular game in England.
