第1题

听力原文： Since ancient times, May first has been a traditional day to celebrate spring. I

n modern times, May Day also became a traditional day for countries to honor workers.

In eighteen eighty-nine, Socialists held an international congress in Paris. They chose May first as a workers' holiday and a day for demonstrations. Since then, the first of May has been observed as International Labor Day.

The United States, however, had already settled on another day. Peter McGuire was a New York labor leader. He is said to have suggested the first Monday in September as a holiday to honor labor. He said it was a nice time of the year for a celebration. He suggested parades to show the strength of labor organizations. And he urged people to end the day with outdoor parties.

The first Labor Day celebration in the United States took place in New York City on September fifth, eighteen eighty-two. About ten thousand workers marched through the streets. Then everyone went to a park to eat a meal and hear speeches and music. The idea quickly spread throughout the country. In eighteen ninety-four, Congress approved a bill to declare Labor Day a national holiday.

For years, the first Monday in September was a day when American workers demonstrated for better conditions and pay. Today, the Labor Day weekend is mostly observed as a time to enjoy the last warm days of summer.

When did Americans celebrate May Day？

A．The 1st of May.

B．The 1st of September.

C．The 1st Monday in September.

D．The 1st Monday in May.

听力原文：On September 13,1956, IBM shipped the first unit of the RAMAC, in other words, Ra

ndom Access Method of Accounting and Control. The RAMAC, designed in Big Blue's San Jose, Calif., research center would have made a lousy music player. The drive weighed a full ton, and to lease it you'd pay about ＄250,000 a year in today's dollars. Since it required a separate air compressor to protect the two moving "heads" that read and wrote information, it was noisy. The total amount of information stored in its 50 spinning iron-oxide-coated disks-- each of them a pizza-size 24 inches -- was 5 megabytes.

Which of the following is true according to the passage？

A．The drive weighed a full ton.

B．The IBM research center planned to make a music player.

C．Its 24 spinning disks could store only S megabytes of information.

D．The price for renting the RAMAC was ＄260,000 a year.

Dear Mr Mason,

Re: Repair of Tashita Cassette Player

You returned our cassette player to us on 5th September, after having it(Sorry! Technician off sick)in your shop for over a month, saying that you could not repair the following faults:

1. A problem with the volume control. (needs replacing; part not available)

2. Difficulty operating the on/off switch. (Possible to replace, but very expensive)

I was very surprised to hear this, because the equipment is not all that (Manufactured in 1985) old. Therefore I would be grateful if you could explain in writing why the equipment is, in your opinion, beyond repair, so that I can discuss this(out of business since 1990) matter with the manufacturers.

Yours sincerely,

Paul Johnson

Since the September 11 attack, US President George W. Bush has【21】______ himself as a supe

Since the September 11 attack, US President George W. Bush has 【21】______ himself as a superpower leader of hard resolve, tolerating no 【22】______ to his goals-until he came up against Israel.

Stung by 【26】______ Israeli defiance, Bush on Monday urged Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon publicly, 【27】______ the third time, to withdraw his forces "without delay" 【28】______ Palestinian areas. A bloody offensive has been 【29】______ there for 11 days.

听力原文： This is the day when America remembers those who died in service to their countr

y. And nowhere is the extent of their sacrifice more on display than in Arlington National Cemetery--where seven generations of the fallen are buried. President Bush spoke in the cemetery's amphitheater--a massive white structure surrounded by seemingly endless rows of small white headstones. Many of the nation's greatest military heroes are buried in Arlington. But so too are hundreds of thousands of men and women whose names are known only to the families and communities that mourn them. They include several hundred soldiers killed since the September I1 attacks on the United States in places like Kabul and Kandahar, Baghdad and Ramadi. The sod is still fresh on those graves, many covered with personal messages, flowers and flags. The president said their sacrifice must not be in vain, and the cause of protecting freedom will never end. Earlier, the president laid a wreath at the Tomb of the Unknowns, which contains the unidentified remains of members of the U.S. military killed in major conflicts. He was accompanied by several families of the fallen.

According to .the news, many of American greatest military heroes are buried in ______.

A．Kabul

B．Arlington

C．Baghdad

D．Kandahar
