听力原文: Do you know the most unusual building of the nineteenth century? Perhaps it was the Crystal Palace. It was built in Hyde Park for the Great Exhibition of 1851. The Crystal Palace was different from all other buildings in the world. It was made of iron and glass. It was one of the biggest buildings of the time and a lot of people from many countries came to see it. A great many goods were sent to the exhibition from all parts of the world. There was also a great deal of machinery on show. The most wonderful piece of machinery on show was Nasmyth' s steam hammer. Though in those days, traveling was not as easy as it is today, steam boats carried thousands of visitors across the Channel from Europe. On arriving in England, they were taken to the Crystal Palace by train. There were six million visitors in all, and the money gained from the exhibition was used to build museums and colleges. Later, the Crystal Palace was moved to South London. It remained one of the most famous buildings in the world until it was burnt down in 1936.

听力原文: Lisa was running late. She had a lot to do at work, plus visitors on the way: her parents were coming in for Thanksgiving from her hometown. But as she hurried down the subway stairs, she started to feel uncomfortably. Lisa felt weak and tired — maybe it hadn't been a good idea to give blood the night before, she thought.
Several yards away, Frank, 33, and his girlfriend, Jennifer, found a spot close to where the front of the train would stop. They were deep in discussion about a house they were thinking of buying. But when he heard the scream, followed by someone yelling, "Oh, my God, she fell in!" Frank didn't hesitate. He jumped down to the tracks and ran some 40 feet toward the body lying on the rails. "No! Not you!" his girlfriend screamed after him. The train was about 20 seconds from the station. It was hard to lift her. She was just out. But he managed to raise her four feet to the platform. so that bystanders could hold her by the chin and drag her away from the edge. That was where Lisa briefly regained consciousness, felt herself being pulled along the ground, and saw someone else holding her purse. Lisa thought she'd been robbed. A woman held her hand and a man gave his shirt to help stop the blood pouring from her head.
Police and fire officials soon arrived, and Frank told the story to an officer. Jennifer said her boyfriend was calm on their 40-minute train ride downtown — just as he had been seconds after the rescue, which made her think about her reaction at the time. "I saw the train coming and I was thinking he was going to die," she explained.
Questions 26 to 29 are based on the passage you have just heard.
26. What was the most probable cause for Lisa's weakness?
27. How did Frank save Lisa?
28. When did Lisa become conscious again?
29. Why did Jennifer try to stop her boyfriend?
(33)
A.She had run a long way.
B.She felt hot in the subway.
C.She had done a lot of work.
D.She had donated blood the night before.

The Spanish love walking, and they often go for a walk around the town in the evenings. At 10:00 on Friday and Saturday nights the bars and restaurants are full. The cinema is very popular in Spain (25 % of the adults go to the cinema once a week or more). But Spanish night-life really starts at midnight. A lot of disco-bars don't close before 6:00 in the morning. In Valencia, on the east coast of Spain, some discos open at 10:00 on Sunday mornings!
Only about 21% of the population go to church. On Sundays many people go to the country or to the beach. Spanish people often go away at weekends, at Easter, and at Christmas.

第三节 短文理解2
阅读下列短文,从[A]、[B]、[C]三个选项中选择一个正确答案。
Food in Britain has had a bad name abroad for a very long time. Visitors from foreign countries complain(抱怨) about the meals that they order in restaurants. The British themselves do not like to complain so the meals in restaurants are not always good.
But in a city like London there are many different kinds of food. There are so many restaurants serving foreign dishes that it can be difficult to find one serving only British food. The people who came from other countries have brought their own cooking to Britain so there are restaurants serving different kinds of foreign food.
Foreigners also complain about uninteresting meals served at home for the family. Though there are so many complaints about uninteresting food, there seems to be a great interest in cooking among people in Britain. Cooking books sell very well. Newspapers and magazines often offer(提供) unusual recipes from foreign countries as well as old recipes from the past and from many different places of Britain. These places of Britain offer some very good dishes. So there must be a lot of British people who live to eat, not eat to live.
If the British like to complain, the meals in restaurants may ______.
A.cost less
B.become better
C.be served a longer time
