听力原文:W: I'm sorry, but I can't let you check out these books.
M: What do you mean?
W: Well, the computer shows you've got an overdue book, Art Work. And you can't borrow any book until you return it.
M: But that's impossible. I only started going to this school last month. And I'm a business major, not an artist.
W: Hmm. The thing's pretty strange. Let me look up the records. OK, you are Robert Smith?
M: Yeah.
W: You live at 1423 West Conner Street?
M: Ah? No, I'm living on campus now.
W: You did say you were Robert Smith, right?
M: Yeah. Well, my full name is Robert James Smith.
W: Let me check one more thing on the computer. I see now, there's another Robert Smith, Robert El. Smith. And it looks like he's the one who got that overdue book checked out.
M: Another Robert Smith, no kidding?
W: So I guess you two never met.
M: No, I'm thinking I should probably try. I could at least find out what has just happened.
W: Good idea. Now I let you check out these books today. But I suggest you should start to use your middle name to avoid any problems like this in the future.

Sonic Device
The other day, Dr. Robert Smith, who is blind, took a remarkable stroll through the campus of the University of California at Santa Barbara. As Dr. Smith walked along the campus, places and impediments (障碍物) in his path seemed to call out their names to him -- "library here, library here", "bench here, bench here".
Dr. Smith was testing a prototype (样机) navigation system for the blind that anounced the surrounding objects through stereo headphones that were mounted to a computer in his back-pack, creating a virtual reality landscape(仿真影像). The information came not from some miniature radar but from the signals broadcast by the military's network of gloal positioning satellites(全球定位卫星). One day, its developers hope, miniaturized(小型化的) versions of this navigation devices, which now weighs twenty-eight pounds, will help the blind navigate unfamiliar neighborhoods.
"With this system you do not need to know a thing in advance about where you are going", said Dr. Roberta Klatzky, a psychologist at Carnegie-Mellon University who is working with Dr. Smith to develop the navigating device. Dr. Michael Oberdor of the National Eye Institute said, "A blind person could walk clown the street and know not just he was at 80th and Broadway, but what stores are around, and that Zabar's delicatessen(熟食店) was up ahead. This navigation system tells you not just where there are obstacles, but your overall location geographically. " It lets blind users construct a mental map of new surroundings and learn their way around.
The navigation system uses signals from a computerized map to create a "virtual acoustic display(仿真声音显示). This is a talking map in which large objects seem to announce themselves in the headphones with the precise timing and loudness that would be the case if the objects were actually making a sound. This allows the blind person to sense immediately his or her distance or direction, and use that information for guidance. While no one knows whether it is because blind people tend to develop a sharper sense of hearing, those who have tried the system say that they quickly adapt to locating an object through the sounds. "One of the crucial features of this system is that it takes advantage of sensory paychophysics (感官心理物理学) -- how the brain interprets signals from outside to make a map of your surroundings so you can navigate, " Dr. Oberdor said.
Thanks to the help of this sonic device, blind people can hear obstacles in the way speaking out their names.
A.Right
B.Wrong
C.Not mentioned

听力原文:W: Hello, Mary Smith here. Could I speak to Mr. Brown, please?
M: Speaking.
W: Oh, it's you, Andrew, is it? I didn't recognize your voice. Sounds as if you're miles away.
M: Oh, hello, Mary. Yes, the line isn't very good. I'll speak a bit louder. Is that any better?
W: Yes, that's much better now. Andrew, it looks as if I won't be able to keep the appointment we made.
M: That was to be Friday, wasn't it?
W: Yes, I'm so sorry. This visitor I was actually expecting last week had some kind of change in his schedule, and now he's rung me up to say the only day he can come is next Friday.
M: I see.
W: And the trouble is, as he's over from Argentina, I can't very well put him off. Hope you understand.
M: Well, I suppose so.
W: But could we meet on Saturday? Or would you prefer the beginning of next week?
M: Afraid I'm tied up at the weekend. And...let me just check. Tuesday would be all right, I think.
W: Tuesday is O.K. for me too. Could you come here at 11:30 as we'd arranged? I'll show you round our place, we could lunch together and work out the terms of our contract in the afternoon. How does that sound to you?
M: Yes, fine. I'll write it down in my diary. That's Tuesday, 12th December. Right, I'll be at your place at 11:30 then.
W: Thanks, Andrew. Hope I haven't messed up your arrangements too much.
