听力原文：M: Hi, Wendy, I'd like to get your opinion about news in the United States.
W: Well, I have very strong opinions about it. We think we are getting the news, but it is really just entertainment. It is based on what's going to keep people tuned in, like plastic surgery or celebrities. They actually tease you to get you to watch the news with old stories, because I think they think Americans get bored with international news.
M: You are talking about news on TV？
W: Yeah, they say "tune in at eleven; find out how those women lost weight". And that kind of keeps people watching, and that's what they call news. But what about major political problems？ Those don't get reported in the way they should be. They don't get reported enough.
M: Yeah, I see what you are saying.
W: The other thing that bothers me about news is that it's shallow, like there are these people doing voice-overs, but the voice-overs have the same tone as people who do it from movies. It's like Six Guns to Kill, and then it's like Plastic Surgery at 11, and it's the same voice, the same style. for those two stories. It's equating those types of information. It's all like entertainment.
M: Do you think entertainment is more interesting than news？
W: Good question! I actually think we' ve got used to the idea that news should be just as entertaining as the movies, like a sitcom. And it should be quick and sort of like instant gratification.
M: What do you mean by instant gratification？
W: It's something that doesn't require you to think, easy information. Something makes you feel that you are learning something, but you really aren't. So it's quick and shallow. And TV news has to be reported by news anchors who are physically attractive. If they are not attractive, viewers complain.
M: Well, do you think newspapers give you better news coverage than TV？
W: I think newspapers are better, because they are more in depth, but then who has time to really read them？ And what's difficult about news in general is… see I'm criticizing what's being reported, but the main problem is what is not being reported. And that's hard to criticize because you don't know what's not there. And I think papers are guilty of that.
M: Do you get any news from Radio or the Internet, are they better？ I mean, are there any good places to get news？
W: I do think there are better places, but you have to spend time finding them. And people need quick access. If you want to get specialized news, you have to go to special radio stations or websites, and I don't even know what those are.
M: So where do you get your news？
W: Mostly on TV. That's the thing! I realize I'm being sucked into it. So I'm critical of it. But it's OK, because I know I'm being sucked in.

What is the main point of the passage？
Section B
Directions: In this section, you will hear 3 short passages. At the end of each passage, you will hear some questions. Both the passage and the questions will be spoken only once. After you hear a question, you must choose the best answer from the four choices marked A, B, C and D.
听力原文： The average person learns most of the 30,000-40,000 words whose meanings we recognize by hearing them or getting familiar with them in the context without conscious effort. [26] The best way to build a good vocabulary, therefore, is to read a great deal and to participate in a lot of good conversations. There are relatively few words that we learn permanently by purposefully referring to dictionaries or keeping word lists. Here are some suggestions of how to do it.
Read plenty of good books. [27] When you come across a new word or a new meaning of an old word, stop and see if you can understand it from its context. If you can't, and if you can manage without interrupting the thought of the book too much, look it up in a dictionary or ask somebody and then repeat its meaning to yourself a couple of times. If you are really conscientious, write the word and its meaning in a personal vocabulary list. Go over the list from time to time. Further, try to use the new word in writing or conversation a few times over the next several days.
[28] Listen to good conversations and be alert to new words you hear or to new meanings of words you have already known. Then treat them just as you treat the new words you read.
Learn and be alert to the parts of words: prefixes, suffixes and roots. Knowing them enables you to make intelligent guesses about the meanings of words.
