听力原文： Most of us take our ability to listen for granted. In fact, we have different listening styles for different occasions. How successful we are as listeners may depend in part on choosing the right listening style. for the situation. Perhaps the most basic listening style. is appreciative listening. We listen appreciatively when we enjoy music, a bird's song or the murmur of the book. We need a different style, one called discriminative listening, when we want to single out one particular sound from a noisy environment. You discriminate, for example, when you listen for a friend's voice in a crowded room. We use a firm style. of listening, comprehensive listening, when we want to understand. When we listen to directions or instructions, we are using this style. The last listening style, critical listening, is the one we will examine most closely. Critical listeners are the most active of all listeners, and critical listening, the most helpful. Critical listeners evaluate what they hear, and decide if another person's message is logical, worthwhile or has value. We need to be critical listeners when someone wants us to buy something, vote a certain way or support a particular idea. We also need to be critical listeners in school where we are supposed to listen and think at the same time.

A．We should not take our ability to listen for granted.
B．We should have the right listening style. for a particular situation.
C．We should try different listening styles one after another.
D．We should be faithful to one listening style. all the time.

The ostrich, the largest bird in the world at present, lives in the drier regions of Africa outside the actual deserts. Because of its very long, powerful legs and the floating effect of its extended wings, it is able to run at great speed over considerable distances.
The female ostrich normally produces about twenty eggs every rainy season. When the female ostrich begins to lay her eggs, however, she does not begin in her own nest. Instead she goes off in search of the nests of neighboring females and lays two or three eggs in each of them. By the time she has laid eight or nine eggs, she returns and lays the rest in her own nest.
Because of the size of the eggs, the female ostrich cannot lay more than one every two days, so it takes her three weeks to finish laying in her own nest. During that period, she spends a lot of time away from her nest looking for food. And while she is off her nest, other females visit it to lay their eggs amongst hers. By the time she is ready to sit on the eggs to hatch them, there could be up to thirty eggs in her nest, over half of which are not her own.
The female ostrich can comfortably cover only about twenty eggs when she is sitting on the nest, so before settling down she pushes the surplus ten or so eggs out of the nest. The rejected eggs , however, never include any of her own. Each female is remarkably consistent in the size and shape of the eggs she produces, so it is not difficult for her to distinguish her own from those of strangers.
Of all the eggs laid by a colony of ostriches, only a very small number hatch into young birds. There are times when nests are left unprotected, for there are too few males to sit on all the nests at night. Thus there are ample opportunities for their natural enemies to raid the nests and eat the eggs. In fact, nearly 80% of the nests are destroyed. But even if a particular female's nest suffers this fate, there is a good chance that one or two of her eggs will be hatched in the nest of one of
her neighbors.
56. We learn from the text that an ostrich can go a long distance at high speed as_________
[A] it is a special kind of bird
[B] it lives in large desert areas
[C] it has special wings and legs
[D] it is the largest bird in the world

听力原文： The European cuckoo is notorious for its odd way of raising its young. The parents normally live in various regions of Asia or Africa, but migrate to England in the warm months. The first cuckoos reach England in April, and each year people write to newspapers to claim that they have heard the first cuckoo. The bird's call "Cue-coo" is regarded in North Europe as a sign that summer has nearly arrived. After the ice and snow of winter, the sound "Cue-coo" is most welcome, so the bird has a special significance for many Europeans.
The female cuckoo manages to reproduce her species by laying eggs which she then abandons. Each cuckoo tends to lay her eggs in the nest of one particular species. It is amazing that the female will lay eggs which have very similar colours and markings to the eggs of the host bird. This ability helps to prevent the host bird from rejecting the cuckoo's egg.
The cuckoo lays about a dozen eggs altogether at about two-day intervals. Each egg is in a different nest. Having laid her eggs for the year, the female's role as mother is completed. In late July or early August, she flies to the south to a warmer climate.
Meanwhile, each young cuckoo is busy looking after itself and doing the job quite well. The chicks hatch after 12 or 13 days, which is usually much sooner than any of the foster-mother's brood. The young cuckoos lift up any other eggs or chicks so that they fall over the side of the nest. In this way, the cuckoo removes any competition for the foster-mother's attention.
The young cuckoo grows much faster than the foster-mother's own chicks. It gets most of the food brought back to the nest by the foster-mother. After a few weeks, the cuckoo chick grows too big to sit in the nest, and much bigger than the foster-mother. But it is still not ready to fly, and remains on the nest, screaming for the food. The foster-mother is stimulated by this noise and has to work hard all day searching for the food.
After about three weeks, the cuckoo chick starts to fly. But it still stays at the nest most of the time for a further one or two weeks, until it is completely independent. And at this time, it can fly well and find its own food. The bird then remains in Britain until September. And then it too, like its parents, migrates for the winter to the warmer countries of the south.
Questions:
16. How long does a cuckoo stay in Britain according to the talk？
17.What does the bird's call "Cuc-coo" suggest for North Europeans？
18.Where does a female cuckoo lay her eggs？
19.When will a young cuckoo leave its foster-mother's nest？
20.which of the following is TRUE about the cuckoos？
(36)
A．All the year around.
B．For 10 months.
C．For about half a year.
D．For three or four months in summer.

听力原文： Have you ever heard of bungee jumping？ It is a rather thrilling and breath-taking sport of leaping from a high place with a rubber band tied around some part of one's body. The places you jump from can be a bridge, crane, tower, or even a cliff.
As we already know, the modern day bungee was started in England by Oxford Dangerous Sports Club. It was later commercialized most successfully in New Zealand, although the name of the sport was changed into "bungy", instead of "bungee". Now it becomes more and more popular in other European countries, as well as in the United States and Japan, in particular, among young people who are looking for thrill and excitement.
There are several ways to jump. The most common ways to attach yourself to the rubber band are by using a body harness, or a leg harness, that is, to tie the rubber band to your body, or to tie the rubber band to your legs only. If you're jumping with just a body harness, you are afforded quite a bit of freedom to move around. Your arms and legs are free to move around. The rubber band will be attached to a point close to your belly. As you jump, you can do many flips on the way down. If you're jumping with a leg harness, either one of your legs or both of your legs will be tied to the rubber band. The leg harness can really give you the feeling of flying. And it is especially favored for water touchdowns, and swallow dives. You take a nice leap away from the platform. of a high place. Your arms stretched out wide, and soar like a bird down towards the earth.
One more thing, if you intend to try bungee jumping, most countries require that you be over the age of 18, and join a bungee jumping club, or be properly and duly instructed for the sport.
(43)
A．In New Zealand.
B．In the USA.
C．In England.
D．In Japan.
