听力原文： Every part of the United States has special celebrations, depending on the particular national groups that live in the area. In Hawaii, there are origins. Immigrants from China and Japan arrived in Hawaii in great numbers during the past century.The early Polynesians came to Hawaii from South Pacific islands more than a thousand years before any other people. The Asians left rich traditions for their younger generations to follow. Today, Hawaiians honor the memory of their ancestors with special feasts and festivals.Chinese-Hawaiians hold the Moon Festival to honor the memory of their ancestors and their native land. The Moon Festival occurs in August on the night of the full moon. Unlike the Japanese festival, the Chinese celebration is a simple family occasion. Family members gather in a garden or large open-air space in the light of the moon. They drink tea and feast on delicious moon-shaped cakes filled with meat or sweets, depending on family custom. If the family is from northern China, the cakes have meat in them. If the family comes from southern China, the cakes have sweet firings.The cakes, an important food on this occasion, represent an event in Chinese history. A long time ago, the people of China used round cakes in a special way they sent secret messages to each other in them. The messages gave instructions for the people of the north and south to join together to fight against the evil who ruled them at that time. The trick worked and the people were able to overthrow their ruler. By recalling this event in the Moon Festival, the Chinese people help to keep their native traditions alive and their family ties strong.

听力原文：W: The Americans came from America. That's easy, isn't it？M: I'm sorry to say you

听力原文：W: The Americans came from America. That's easy, isn't it？

M: I'm sorry to say you are wrong! The Americans came from almost every part of the world. That's to say, mare than 230 million people now call America home, but most of them can trace their families back to other parts of the world. That's why America has long been known as a "melting pot". It is believed that the first to arrive were the American Indians. They came titan Asia in very ancient times, more than 10,000 years ago. There used to be millions of them, but today they only number about 850,000. Half of them live on special land of their own in 31 states, while the others have "melted" in with the rest of America's 230 million people.

W: Do the American Indians have anything to do with the Indians of India？

M: No, nothing. As a matter of fact, the American Indiana came from Siberia.

W: Then, why do people call them Indians？

M: Because when Christopher Columbus made his historic voyage in 1492, he expected to reach India. So he called the people of the New World "Indians" and Indian is the name that has remained till now.

(26)

A．Because Americans love melting pot.

B．Because Americans came from almost every part of the world.

C．Because America is famous for melting pot.

听力原文：Nearly every day we are reminded to get more exercise, but this can be hard to do

听力原文： Nearly every day we are reminded to get more exercise, but this can be hard to do with the hectic lifestyles we have today. Multi-tasking—doing two or more things at the same time—is now a common theme in the workplace. So, why not try and combine your daily commute with a good aerobic workout？ Cycling is a great way of doing just that, and you can get to work just as quickly as you can by car for most journeys under five miles. And you don't have to pay for parking. As part of National Bike Week, our cycle forum is holding a bike riders' breakfast on Thursday, July 16 in front of the Collins Building. If you can show that you arrived at work by bike, there will be free coffee, orange juice, fruit, and yogurt awaiting you!

What example of multitasking does the speaker give？

A．Eating breakfast while driving to work

B．Commuting while getting exercise

C．Thinking while cycling

D．Drinking coffee while working

The brakes look fine. W Really？ That surprises me. They've been squealing so much, especially in the city. And every time I'm on the freeway, if I put on the brakes the car seems to rattle, really shake around a lot in the back.

M Well, I drove the car around the block and applied the brakes several times, and I didn't hear a single squeal. As for the rattling, have you considered there might be something in your trunk that's causing the rattle？

W Oh no, I didn't even think about that. Now that you mention it, I have parts of a bed frame. back there. I'll take it out and see if the car continues to shake. But that still doesn't explain the squealing.

听力原文： I'm sure almost every one of you looked at your watch or at a clock before you came to class today. Watches and clocks seem as much a part of our life as breathing or eating. And yet did you know that watches and clocks were scarce in the United States until the 1850s. In the late 1700s, people didn't know the exact time unless they were near a clock. Those delightful clocks in the squares of European towns were built for the public. After all, most citizens simply couldn't afford a personal time piece. Well into the 1800s in Europe and the United States, the main purpose of a watch, which by the way was worn off the wrist and on a gold chain, was to show others how wealthy you were. The word "wrist watch" didn't even enter the English language until nearly 1900. By then the rapid pace of the industrialization in the United States meant that measuring time had become essential. How could the factory worker get to work on time unless he or she knew exactly what time it was？ Since the efficiency was now measured by how fast the job was done, everyone was interested in time. And since industrialization made possible the manufacture of large quantities of goods, watches became fairly inexpensive. Furthermore electric lights kept factories going around the clock. Being "on time" had entered the language and life of every citizen.

(29)

A．The industrialization of the United States.

B．The development of individual timepieces.

C．Reasons for increased productivity.

D．How wristwatches are manufactured.

onth, and it's over $100! The worst part is, I didn't make all of the calls. There's a bunch of extra long distance calls.

M: That's unusual. Did you remember to pay your last bill？

W: Yes, I always pay on time. And the only time I make long distance calls is to speak to my sister in America. I'm on the Internet a lot, but that's a flat rate every month.

M: You should call the service provider today and see if they can sort out the problem. They can probably remove those charges from your bill.

听力原文： A critical factor that plays a part in people's susceptibility to colds is age. The University of the Michigan School of Public Health has done a study that revealed some general rules for the public. It says that infants are the most cold-ridden group. On an average, infants will catch more than six colds during their early years. Besides, boys have more colds than girls when they are under the age of three. When they grow older than three years old, it is easier for girls to catch cold than the boys. Girls might catch three colds, while boys catch two on average.

Generally speaking, the incidents of colds continue to decline while people are growing older. Elderly people who are in good health have as few as one or two colds every year. One exception is found among people in their twenties, especially women, who show a rise in cold infections. This is because people in this age group are most likely to have young babies. Adults who delay having children until their 30s and 40s experience the same sudden increase in cold infections.

The study also found that economics plays an important role. As income increases, the frequency at which colds are reported in the family decreases. Families with the lowest income suffer about a third more colds than families at the upper end. Lower income generally forces people to live in more limited space than those occupied by rich people, and crowding will increase the possibility of cold infections.

(26)

A．Work.

B．Food.

C．Social status.

D．Age.

听力原文：I grew up in a house where the TV was seldom turned on and with one wall in my be

听力原文： I grew up in a house where the TV was seldom turned on and with one wall in my bedroom entirely lined with bookshelves; most of my childhood was spent on books I could get hold of. In fact, I grew up thinking of reading as natural as breathing and books unbelievably powerful in shaping perspectives by creating worlds we could step into, take part in and live in.

With this unshakable belief, I, at fourteen, decided to become a writer. Here too, reading became useful. Every writer starts off knowing that he has something to say, but being unable to find the right ways to say it. He has to find his own voice by reading widely and discovering which parts of the writers he agrees or disagrees with, or agrees with so strongly that it reshapes his own world. He cannot write without loving to read, because only through reading other people's writing can one discover what works, what doesn't and, in the end, together with lots of practice, what voice he has.

Now I am in college, and have come to realize how important it is to read fiction. As a law student, my reading is in fact limited to subject matter — the volume of what I have to read for classes every week means there is little time to read anything else. Such reading made it all the clearer to me that I live in a very small part in this great place called life. Reading fiction reminds me that there is life beyond my own. It allows me to travel across the high seas and along the Silk Road, all from the comfort of my own armchair, to experience, though secondhand, exciting experiences that I wouldn't necessarily be able to have in my lifetime.

Questions 33 to 35 are based on the passage you have just heard.

33. What can we learn about the speaker as a child？

34. What effect does reading fiction have on the speaker？

35. Which can be the best title for this passage？

(30)

A．He never watched TV.

B．He read what he had to.

C．He found reading unbelievable.

D．He considered reading part of his life.
