听力原文: Arab foreign ministers in Cairo on Sunday announced their countries should refuse any support for military action against fellow Arab Iraq. But their call fell short of a binding resolution that would pose difficulties for many Gulf states, which host thousands of U. S. troops preparing for possible war on Iraq over its alleged weapons of mass destruction. Iraq denies it has such arms. Speculation has been rife that Arab leaders had asked Saddam to go into exile to spare the region a devastating war, but officials have denied it and few Arabs believe that the Iraqi leader would step down. Some Arab officials have said that high-level negotiations were being held to persuade Washington to grant amnesty to Saddam's top commanders, partly to encourage them to overthrow him in a coup.
The meeting of Arab foreign ministers in Cairo ______
A. resulted in a binding resolution
B. failed to discuss a binding resolution
C. proposed a binding resolution
D. failed to pass a binding resolution
听力原文: India and Pakistan issued visas on Tuesday to each other's senior diplomats after the nuclear rivals kicked out their predecessors in tit-for-tat expulsions earlier this month, an Indian foreign ministry spokesman said. "The visas have been given," the spokesman told reporters. Asked when the new envoys would take up their new posts, the spokesman said:" That is a matter of logistics(后勤)." There was no immediate comment from Pakistan. But the move was not seen as indicating any thaw in relations after New Delhi renewed accusations on Monday that Pakistan has failed to keep a pledge to end support to Muslim militants fighting New Delhi's rule in Kashmir -- charges Pakistan denies.

A. had to send each other's senior diplomats back home

听力原文: While many overweight people claim to have a strong desire to shed excess pounds, most do little to achieve this goal, a new study suggests. Researchers at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota report that only one in three people who are trying to lose weight, and one in five people trying not to gain weight, follow the widely recommended approach of at least 150 minutes of exercise weekly and reduced caloric intake. A staggering 61% of American adults currently meet the scientific definition of overweight or obesity, putting them at increased risk of heart disease, diabetes, stroke, arthritis, depression and several forms of cancer.
According to the study, how many people really intend to lose weight?
About 30%.
B. About 20%.
C. About 61%.
D. About 50%.
