题目内容

听力原文: Flags are at half-mast in Liverpool as the city mourns one of its most famous songs, George Harrison. He rose to international fame at the age of 17 as a member of the Beatles and went on to a career as a leading British film producer. (33)Musically, he defined a generation, with borrowings from Eastern music and religion. Millions of fans worldwide have been united in their grief and tributes have been paid by musicians and world leaders as diverse as Michael Jackson and Queen Elizabeth.
George Harrison was an unlikely rock star, an unassuming man, cynical about celebrity, concentrating on what mattered, the music. He'd been a heavy smoker for many years. Three years ago, he disclosed that he had cancer. He'd gone to Los Angeles for a final attempt at treatment. He died at a friend's house yesterday afternoon. In a statement, his family said, he left this world as he lived in it, conscious of God, fearless of death, and at peace.
(34)In Liverpool, the city that was the Beatles' and which they made famous, some people laid flowers for George Harrison at a statue of the Beatles. Others signed a book of condolence.
Bob Geldof said sorrowfully: I think almost uniquely possibly in music and certainly in guitar, are a guitarist's paces. (35)A11 his solos or his little licks can be hummed by practically everyone in the world. I don't think there is another guitar player can claim that.
Some months ago, just before his final illness, George Harrison undertook his last project. It was the reworking of a 1970 album entitled, "All Things Must Pass."
(30)

A. His international fame.
B. His leading status in the film industry.
C. His music style.
D. His personality.

听力原文:M: Some people seem to need significantly less sleep than others.
W: Tell me about it. I have a friend who swears that she sleeps only five hours a night. She seems to have plenty of energy, and she's not confused and incompetent the way I am after several nights of only five hours of sleep. You know what really annoys me? Because she sleeps less, (23) she has more time to accomplish more in her days than I do. It's not fair.
M: I know what you mean. I've also heard scientists have discovered a gene in flies that determines how much rest the individual needs. Flies with a version of this gene are actually programmed to need less sleep than others. (24) And we humans possess a similar gene.
W: So the amount of sleep one needs seems to be genetically inherited?
M: Yes. And (25) families of flies with a lower sleep requirement don't seem to suffer any injuries in their performance of daily tasks. It may very well be that people who claim to need less sleep to operate normally are telling the truth.
W: That's depressing.
M: Well, you might be interested to know that flies programmed to sleep less tend to die earlier.
W: Really? So maybe I'll end up with the same hours of waking time as my friend after all. It'll just take me a few extra years of living to catch up with her!
M: Maybe.
