Everywhere we look we see Americans running. They run for every reason anybody could think of. They run for health, for beauty, to lose weight, to feel fit and because it's the thing they love to do. Every year, for example, thousands upon thousands of people run in one race, the Boston Marathon,
the best known long distance race in the United States. In recent years, there have been nearly 5,000 official competitors and it takes three whole minutes for the crowd of runners just to cross the starting line. You may have heard the story of the Greek runner Pheidippides. He ran from Marathon to Athens to deliver the news of the great victory 2,500 years ago. No one knows how long it took him to run the distance. But the story tells us that he died of the effort. Today no one will die in a Marathon race. But the effort is still enormous. Someone does come in first in this tiring foot race. But at the finish line we see what this race is about: not being first but finishing. The real victory is not over one's fellow runners but over one's own body. It's a victory of will-power over fatigue. In the Boston marathon each person who crosses that finish line is a winner.
14. What's the real victory for the thousands of Marathon runners?
A) The victory over one's fellow runners. B) The victory over former winners. C) The victory of will-power over fatigue. D) The victory of one's physical strength.
[答案:C]

Today, air travel is far safer than driving a car on a busy motorway. But there is a danger that grows every year.From the moment an airplane takes off to the moment it lands, every movement is watched on radar screens. Air traffic controllers tell the pilot exactly when to turn, when to climb and when to come down. The air traffic controllers around a busy airport may handle 1,000 planes a day. Any plane that flies near the airport comes under the orders of the controllers there. Even a small mistake on their part could cause a disaster.
Recently such a disaster almost happened. Two large jets were flying towards the airport. One was carrying 69 passengers and had come from Toronto. The other was carrying 176 passengers from Chicago. An air traffic controller noticed on his radar screen that the two planes were too close to each other. He ordered one to turn to the right and to climb. But he made a mistake. He ordered the wrong plane to do this. So, instead of turning away from the second plane, the first plane turned towards it. Fifteen seconds later it flew directly in front of the second plane. They avoided each other by the smallest part of a second. The distance between them was less than that of a large swimming pool. This is an example of the danger that grows every year. 11. Which factor can most seriously endanger airplanes according to this passage? A) Crowded air traffic. B) The large size of airplanes. C) Bad weather. D) Mistakes by air traffic controllers.

There are some serious problems in the Biramichi River. The local Chamber of Commerce, which represents the industries in the area, hired me as a consultant to do a one-year study on fishing in the Biramichi River and write a report for them. This is my report.
One of the major problems in the Biramichi River, is that the level of the oxygen in the water is too low. Several chemicals have displaced the oxygen. This chemical pollution has two sources: The factories which dump polluted water directly into the river and the local community, which dumps untreated human wastes into the river. The local town government has already spent 2 million dollars on waste water treatment projects. But it would cost another 27 million to complete the projects. It would take at least 15 years for the town to collect enough revenue from taxes to complete these projects. The factories here employed 17 000 people, and in the area where there is very little alternative employment, it is not economically practical to close or relocate the factories. Also, the factories can not afford to finance chemical treatment plants by themselves.
Another problem is that the members of the Biramichi fishing cooperative are overfishing. Fishes are caught when they are on the way upstream to lay eggs. Consequently, not enough fish are left to reproduce in large numbers. The members of the cooperative say that they have already reduced their annual catch by 60 percent. However, my study indicates that they took fewer fish because there were fewer fish to catch, not because they were trying to preserve fishes. 14. A) There were fewer fish in the river. B) Over-fishing was prohibited.
C) The local Chamber of Commerce tried to preserve fishes. D) The local fishing cooperative decided to reduce its catch.

Strikes are very common in Britain. They are extremely harmful to its industries. In fact, there are other countries in Western Europe that lose more working days through strikes every year than Britain. The trouble with the strikes in Britain is that they occur in essential industries. There are over 495 unions in Britain. Some unions are very small. Over 20 have more than 100,000 members. Unions do not exist only to demand higher wages. They also educate their members. They provide benefits for the sick and try to improve working conditions. Trade unioners say that we must thank the unions for the great improvement in working conditions in the last hundred years. It is now against the law for union members to go on strike without the support of their union. This kind of strike is called the unofficial strike and was common until recently. Employers feel that unofficial strikes were most harmful because they would not be predicted. However, these unofficial strikes still occur from time to time and some unions have also refused to cooperate with the law. As a result, the general picture of the relations between workers and employers in Britain has gone from bad to worse. 13. What conclusion can be drawn from this passage? A) Trade unions in Britain are becoming more popular. B) Most strikes in Britain are against the British law. C) Unofficial strikes in Britain are easier to deal with now. D) Employer-worker relations in Britain have become tenser.

In some large American city schools, as many as 20-40% of the students are absent each day. There are two major reasons for such absences: one is sickness, and the other is truancy. That is staying away from school without permission. Since school officials can‟t do much about the illness, they are concentrating on reducing the number of truancy. One of the most promising schemes has been tried in Florida. The pupils there with good attendance have been given free hamburgers, toys and T-shirts. Classes are told if they show improved rates of attendance, they can win additional gifts. At the same time, teachers are encouraged to inspire their students to come to school regularly. In San Francisco, the board of education has had a somewhat similar idea. Schools that show a decrease in deliberate destruction of property can receive the amount of money that would be spent on repairs and replacements. For example, 12,000 dollars had been set aside for a school‟s property damages every year. Since repair expenses of damaged property required only 4,000 dollars, the remaining 8,000 dollars was turned over to the student activity fund. “Our democracy operates on hope and encouragement,” said the school board member. “Why not provide some positive goals for students and teachers to aim at?”
17 which reason for students‟ absences is discussed in great detail?
A)Punishment by teachers B)Poor academic p C)Truancy D)Illness [答案:C]
19 who will benefit from the scheme being tried in Florida? A)The Board of Education B)Principals of city schools
C)Students with good academic records D)Students with good attendance records [答案:D]
20 What measure has been taken in San Francisco to reduce destruction of school property?
A) Punishing students who damage school property B) Rewarding schools that have decreased the destruction C) Promoting teachers who can prevent the destruction D) Cutting the budget for repairs and replacements [答案:B]

7、男生一般都比较落后
一般来说在听力小对话里面,男生不是很喜爱学习,男生的学习成绩总是不好的,而且往往没有女生的好。而且无论是在学习中还是生活中总是需要女生多方面多角度多渠道的鼓励,关心和帮助,这也是一个很有意思的情况。同时往往在别的方面也表现不佳,比如总是迟到,睡过头等。出现过的表达有:be late for the class, oversleep ,miss the class 。有兴趣的同学可以自己总结。 典型题目:

Key: 1 - 3 ACD 4 - 7 BCCB Exercise 1 听力原文
M: You must be pretty excited about your trip to Europe. When is it that you are leaving? W: In just a week, and I am excited. But there are still a few things I need to do before I go. M: Like what?
W: Like renewing my passport, going to the travel agency to buy my plane ticket and figuring out what to do with my apartment while I am gone. M: You are not going to give it up, are you?
W: No way. I‟ll never find another apartment around here. But I don‟t like the idea of paying three month‟s rent on an empty apartment, either. M: I don‟t blame you. Perhaps you could sublet it. W: Yes, but to whom?
M: Mmn, let me think. Oh, I know just a person. An old colleague of mine, Jim Thomas, is coming here to do some research thus summer, from June to August.
W: That‟s exactly when I‟ll be away. It sounds ideal, as long as the landlord aggrees. M: Tell you what. I‟ll be calling Jim this week anyway, so I‟ll mention it to him then.
W: Well, thanks, Bill. Let me know what happens. That extra money will really come in handy.
1. What does the woman need to do at the travel agency? 2. How long will the woman be in Europe? 3. How does the man know Jim Thomas?
W: Wake up, Erik, time to rise and shine.
M: Huh, Oh, hi, Jane. I must have fallen asleep while I was reading. W: You and everyone else. It looks more like a camp-ground than a library. M: Well, the dorm is too noisy to study in and I guess this place is too quiet.
W: Have you had any luck finding a topic for your paper?
M: No, Prof. Grant told us to write about anything in cultural anthropology. For once I wish she hadn‟t given us so much of a choice.
W: Well, why not write about the ancient civilization of Mexico. You seem to be interested in that part of the world.
M: I am, but there is too much material to cover. I‟ll be writing forever, and Grant only wants five to seven pages.
W: So then limit it to one region of Mexico. Say the Ukatun. You„ve been there and you said it‟s got lots of interesting relics.
M: That‟s not a bad idea. I brought plenty of books and things back with me last summer, that would be great resource material. Now if I could only remember where I put them?
4. What was the man doing when the woman approached him?
5. What seems to be the man’s problem? 6. What’s known about Prof. Grant?
7. Why doesn’t the man want to write about the ancient civilizations of Mexico?
