听力原文：W: Excuse me, would you mind answering a few questions？

M: Well, I don't know. I'm in rather a hurry actually.

W: It won't take a moment. We're doing a public opinion poll on some important political questions to try to find out if the government really has support for its policies. The results are going to be published in a national newspaper.

M: Oh, all right, then.

W: Thanks. Well, I'll read out statements and you have to say whether you agree strongly, agree, disagree, disagree strongly or just don't know. OK？

M: Yes.

W: Well, first of all, "Policemen should always carry guns." Do you agree？

M: No, not always.

W: What is your opinion？

M: They shouldn't do that when they're on normal duty. But if they're chasing a criminal who they know has got a gun, then they should be armed as well.

W: OK, next question: "Britain should drive on the right-hand side of the road."

M: What rubbish! Why doesn't everybody else drive on the left？

W: All right. One more question: "Britain should leave the EEC."

M: That's nasty. I wasn't in favor of us joining, but I think it would be difficult to leave now. I think we'll just have to stay in and make the best of it.

W: OK, that's all. Thank you very much.

听力原文：W: Why don't we go abroad for a change？ Where I'd like to go is France, Spain, or

Italy even.

M: Mm. I'm not all that keen really. I'd rather stay at home.

W: Oh, come on, Steve. Think of the sun !

M: Yes, but think of the cost! Going abroad is very expensive.

W: Oh, it isn't, Steve. Not these days.

M: Of course it is, Juliet. The best thing about having a holiday here in Britain is that it's cheaper. And an other thing, the traveling would be easier. No boats, planes or anything.

W: Even so, we've been to most of the interesting places in Britain already. What's the point in seeing them again？ Anyway, we can travel round Britain whenever we like. There's no point in wasting our summer holiday here.

M: Mm, I suppose you're right. Nevertheless, what I can't stand is all the bother with foreign currency, changing money and all that when we go abroad. I hate all that. And it's so confusing.

W: Oh, don't be silly, Steve.

M: And what's more, I can't speak any of the languages -- you know that. It's all right for you. You can speak foreign languages.

W: Exactly. You see, what I'd really like to do is practice my French and Spanish. It would help me a lot at work.

M: Mm, but that's no use to me.

W: But just think of the new places we'd see, the people we'd meet!

M: But look, if we stayed here, we wouldn't have to plan very much.

W: I'm sorry, Steve. No. I just don't fancy another cold English summer.

What is the most important reason that the man is against traveling abroad？

A．He cannot speak any foreign languages.

B．It is more expensive than domestic traveling.

C．He has to travel by plane.

听力原文：W: (22) In Britain we are often told that people are leaving the big cities to live in the countryside but is this the case worldwide？

However, by the year 2000, the developing countries will have eight out of the top ten.

听力原文： As city residents, we all think that we know what the word "city" means, but do we really (32) ？ Here are some interesting facts.

In Britain, a town of any size can be called a city, if it has a cathedral. So London today includes the two cities of London and Westminster, because both parts have a cathedral (33) . But a small place in North Wales called St. Asaph has a population of fewer than 4,000 and yet because it has a cathedral it is also called a city. on the other hand, Birmingham was so large that it was specially made into a city, even though it did not have a cathedral (34) .

In the USA, "city" is simply a legal term, and it does not depend on the size or importance of the place. Confusingly, however, the US Census Bureau, an American government department that conducts official counts of the population, classifies any place with a population of over 2,500 as a city, no matter how far out in the countryside it is.

The world's most densely populated city is the area of Japan that includes Tokyo and Yokohama, which has an estimated 29,272,000 inhabitants (34) . But, in the future, it may well be replaced by a city in China or a city in India.

So, what is a city？ It all depends on where you live.

(33)

A．US census officials.

B．Government employees,

C．People who live in the city.

D．Lawyers who work for the Church.

听力原文：W: Did you go to a State primary school？M: Yes, I did. I went to a nursery school

听力原文：W: Did you go to a State primary school？

M: Yes, I did. I went to a nursery school first at the age of four, but this was purely voluntary.

W: Can you still remember it？

M: Yes, I have faint, but very pleasant memories of it. It was a delightful place, full of fun and games.

W: You probably don't remember but you must have missed it when you left.

M: Yes, but you know, before seven, school life was very pleasant. It was only later in the Junior School we began to have more formal lessons and even worry about exams.

W: Really？ Did you have to do exams at that age？

M: Yes, we used to then. We had to take an exam at the age of eleven called the "eleven- plus" to see what kind of secondary school we would get into. But this exam is slowly disappearing nowadays.

W: There are four main types of secondary school, aren't there？

M: Yes. Most of the brighter children go to a grammar school, some go to a technical school, and the majority go to a secondary modem school. And then there are the comprehensive schools which cater for all levels of academic ability. These are becoming more and more important.

W: I must say I find your educational system rather complicated, 'and to make matters worse, you call your private schools public schools!

M: Yes, I suppose it is all rather confusing. But like so many other things in Britain our educational system is deeply rooted in tradition and .yet it's changing all the time.

W: Really？ In what ways is it changing？

M: Well, in nearly every way. There is a strong movement towards comprehensive schools, where all children go for secondary education no matter what their ability or background. And they are no longer tested by examination at the age of eleven.

W: But won't the wealthy always be in a privileged position？ They'll always be able to send their children to the best private schools in the country.

M: Not necessarily. If independent schools join the State system and we do away with the idea of grammar schools for the clever and secondary modern schools for the less bright, then every child should have an equal opportunity to do well and go on to higher education.

(23)

A．At the age of 4.

B．At the age of 6.

C．At the age of 7.

D．At the age of 11.
