听力原文：W: Hello, Larry, dear, where are you now？
M: I'm on my way home. And that's why I'm telephoning.
W: What's the matter？ You haven't had an accident, have you？
M: No, it's much sillier than that. I've run out of petrol!
W: Oh, Larry! What a silly thing to do!
M: It isn't my van, of course, and I didn't know the petrol gauge was broken. It says haft-full, but there isn't any petrol in the van at all. And I'm at the telephone box fourteen miles from Brenton. I'm miles from anywhere.
W: Can you buy some petrol？
M: There aren't any buses. I can walk, I suppose. W: How far is it？
M: About six miles.
W: If you walk to Church town, and then back to the van, that will be twelve miles. You can't walk six miles with a full can of petrol.
M: I haven't got a can, anyway. And I haven't got any money.
W: That's a problem. Let me think! I've got an idea. Ask your dad to drive your car to you. He can buy some petrol, and you can put it in the van. You can drive the van home, and he can drive the car.
M: It's a good idea. Thanks.
What's the matter, with the man？
A．He has run out of petrol.
B．He has no money.
C．He has an accident.
D．He can't walk.

•For each question (15-20), mark one letter (A, B, C or D) on your Answer Sheet.
Bruce Petter has not always been an executive. He started his career pumping petrol at a filling station, as he explains: 'After I left the army, my friend's father, who was Managing Director of a petrol company, recommended that I go into the oil industry. My great- uncle was running our own family petrol company, and I learnt the ropes at a petrol station. I subsequently married the daughter of the Marketing Director but this did not make for the happiest of scenarios. Depending on which side of the family they came from, my relatives thought I should support either my great-uncle or my farther-in-law, so I decided the time had come for me to leave the warring factions to fight it out among themselves and move on.'
He became founding Director of the Petrol Retailers Association. But after a few years he decided, 'I was getting to the stage where I wanted to move on again, so when I heard about the Management Consultants Association (MCA) post, I applied.'
He was aware that the selection process for the head of any trade association would, by definition, be protracted because of the difficulty of getting very busy people with mainstream business interests together. The association had 30 member companies at the time, representing a large proportion of the best-known names in the sector, and 'they all wanted to have a look at this individual who had applied to represent their interests, so I saw an awful lot of the membership'.
His principal area of expertise, he feels, is in running a trade association and the briefing that he has been handed suggests that this will be of prime value. 'If you were to ask me if I was ever going to be an expert management consultant, the answer would be no. But I am, I hope, able to articulate their views, to push through policies they want to see in operation and to improve their image. I hope to make management consultancy a powerful voice in government and industry.'
The President of the MCA confirms what landed Petter the job. 'We saw a lot of people, but there were three things in particular that impressed us about Brace. His experience of running a trade association was key and it seemed to us that he had a good understanding of how to relate to and inspire a membership made up of very busy partners, often in very large but also some considerably smaller firms. We are also aware that management consultancy is not always portrayed in a favourable light and he has done quite a bit of work on public image and has some very positive views in this area.'
So, Mr Petter has taken over from retiring Director Brian O'Rorke, and a change of mood is now in the air. O'Rorke was at the helm for 13 years and his successor is reticent when it comes to predicting how his own approach will differ. 'Brian did a magnificent job of sustaining the Association, of holding it together through thick and thin.' I detect a 'but' in his voice. But？ 'I think if you ask anybody who or what the MCA was under his direction, the temptation would be to say "Brian O'Rorke". 'Petter feels his own style. will be very much determined by the objectives of the members: he sees himself as a channel for those aims. 'I don't want the MCA to be perceived as Bruce Petter's empire, but rather the members' empire,' he says. Mr Petter clearly has a difficult task ahead, but many of his staff will welcome a more open, modem style. and there's every indication he will be a success.
What do we learn about Bruce Petter in the first paragraph？
A．He likes to think of himself as a loyal person.
B．He has a negative view of family-run businesses.
C．His military background came in useful later in his career.
D．An awkward situation influenced the development of his career.

Motoring Technology
1.2 million road deaths worldwide occur each year, plus a further 50 million injuries. To reduce car crash rate, much research now is focused on safety and new fuels-- though some electric vehicle and biofuel research aims at going faster.
Travelling at speed has always been risky. One cutting edge area2of research in motoring safety is the use of digital in-car assistants. They can ensure you don't miss crucial road signs or fall asleep. The use of artificial intelligence software allows these assistants to monitor your driving and makes sure your phone or radio doesn't distract you at a vital moment. Most crashes result from human and not mechanical faults.
Some safety developments aim to improve your vision. Radar can spot obstacles in fog, while other technology "sees through" high-sided vehicles blocking your view.
And improvements to seat belts, pedal controls and tyres are making driving smoother and safer. The colour of a car has been found to be linked with safety, as have, less surprisingly, size and shape.
And alternatives to fossil-fuel based petrol, such as plant oils, are a hot area of research. Fuel cells based on hydrogen burn cleanly, and are the subject of a serious research effort,
But whatever is in the fuel tank, you don't want a thief in the driving seat and there have been many innovations, some using satellite tracking and remote communications, to fight against car theft. These communication systems can also come into play if you crash, automatically calling for help.
Accidents cause many traffic jams, but there are more subtle interplays between vehicles that can cause jams even on a clear but busy road. Such jams can be analysed using statistical tools. Robotic drivers could be programmed to make traffic flow smoothly and will perhaps one day be everyone's personal chauffeur, but their latest efforts suggest that won't be soon.
What are researchers interested in doing as the road accidents worldwide increase to a shocking rate ？
A．They are developing faster electric vehicles.
B．They are analyzing road deaths occurring worldwide every year.
C．They focus their research on safety and new fuels.
D．They are designing fully automatic cars.

听力原文：M: Hi, Mary.
W: Hi, Thomas. What's happening？
M: Well, I've decided I have to get a car.
W: You're going to buy a car？ Do you really need one？ I'd probably still be driving except that my car broke down last yean Instead of getting another one, I just moved closer to the university and went back to riding a bike—better for the environment, better for my health and 1 save a lot of money.
M: Did it really cost that much？
W: Well, when you think of insurance, rising petrol costs, parking plus maintenance and repairs, it adds up.
M: I know it's going to be expensive but I really need my own transport. It takes half an hour by bus each way to university as it is. But now I'm working at night in the city. There's no way I want to hang around waiting for a bus late at night and then walk 3 blocks home alone.
W: Hey, I think you've got a point there. So what kind of car are you looking at？
M: It's a 90 Ford. The owner is asking $2000.
W: That's pretty old. How many kilometers has it done？
M: Oh, I forgot to ask. I'll have to check tonight when I go to see it. Would you be able to come with me to have a look at it？ At about 7 o'clock？
W: Sure I will, but I don't know a lot about cars. I do know one thing, though. I wouldn't buy an old car without having a mechanic look at it first. Why not ask Joho to come with us since he is an expert in this field？
M: That's a great idea.

A．He uses it for his job.
B．He spends too much time on the bus.
C．He lives too far from the university.
D．He would feel safer at night with a car.
