听力原文： More than half of 500 Chinese cities failed to meet national air quality standards last year.
The areas suffered potentially harmful air quality, a survey of 500 cities by the State Environmental Protection Administration (SEPA) claims. And nearly one-third of non-industrial sewage in the cities went untreated. In 193 other cities, no treatment was carded out at all, the report revealed. The findings are likely to cause widespread concern.
As urbanization speeds up in China, it poses increasing pressure on the urban environment, and the Chinese Government has given top priority to environmental protection in cities. But given the latest findings, such protection has yet to yield notable results.
There are 661 cities in China—home to 41.7 percent of the population. They also generate 65.5 percent of the nation's gross domestic product—but all at a huge cost to the environment.
Wang Jirong, vice-minister of the Administration, told journalists in Beijing, "In the past two decades, China has been facing environmental problems which developed countries met with over one century ago."
Making reasonable development plans, building sufficient and effectively operated infrastructure and continuing the improvement of the urban environment are among the recommended measures, SEPA's release said. The Administration started to examine environmental management and improvement in 1989.
According to Wang Yuqing, joint SEPA vice-minister, the number of complaints about environmental problems in China has been growing by 30 percent annually, showing that pollution has a serious impact on the quality of life of the public.

A．More than 500.
B．More than 250.
C．193.
D．One-third of Chinese cities.

Demand for Houses Still Running Ahead of Supply
A
House prices have risen again this month as demand continues to outstrip supply, according to the latest research from the property website Rightmove. co. u. k. National average asking prices asking prices rose by 2.3 per cent in September, pushing the average house price through ￡150,000 and setting the annual rate at 22.2 per cent.
B
"The shortage of properties coming on to the market in many areas means that it is still a seller's market, particularly in the lower and middle price brackets. This shortage and continuing demand are resulting in renewed increases in asking prices overall," Rightmove's Miles Shipside said. The findings support the latest survey from the nationwide Building Society, which showed prices rising at their highest rate since 1999, but contradict the latest Halifax survey which reported a slight slowdown in annual inflation from 20.8 to 18.8 per cent.
C
"It's an intriguing situation, with two house price indexes showing the market grinding to a halt, and two showing that the train still has a good head of steam," said John Wriglesworth, an independent housing commentator. He said that property markets should remain "well supported", thanks to "low interest rates, good affordability and low unemployment".
D
At the end of last month, nation wide said house prices surged at their fastest rate for 13 years and said it saw no sign of demand for homes weakening. The price of the average home jumped by 2.5 percent in August, for the second month in a row, to ￡110,890, a gain of￡67 for every day of the month. Halifax contradicted that just days later, reporting that prices rose in August at their slowest rate for 10 months. It said house prices rose just 0.2 per cent, after jumping 1.8 per cent in July, bringing the annual rise down to 18.8 per cent.
It is still a seller's market.

听力原文： In the modern world, it is important to be well-informed. Success in many fields depends on getting the latest information. To keep up with what is happening in the world, well-informed people read newspapers and news magazines. They listen to the news on the radio and they watch it on television. Owners of home computers can even receive their news directly from the wire services--news agencies that supply newspapers, magazines, radio and television with news reports through special telephone links.
Most people read newspapers for the news of the day. The typical daily newspaper contains articles about local, regional, national, and international news, as well as sports news, weather reports, editorials, and other features. In large cities, newspaper readers can often choose between a "morning paper" distributed early in the morning and an "evening paper" distributed at the end of the workday. Most American newspapers also publish an enlarged Sunday edition containing articles about the news of the day and of the week, plus a number of entertainment and advertising supplements. Daily newspapers are designed to be read quickly by busy people looking for specific information. The Sunday papers, on the other hand, are intended to entertain as well as inform, and they tend to be read leisurely by all members of the family. Other types of newspapers include campus newspapers, written by students at universities, and weekly newspapers, usually intended for a specific audience.

A．Newspaper and magazines.
B．Radio and television.

Section B
Directions: There are 2 passages in this section. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. You should decide on the best choice.
Movie directors sometimes shoot two endings to a film, undecided about which to use until the very last minute. In the Casablanca everyone knows, Ingrid Bergman leaves Humphrey Bogart, but in another ending Bogart got the girl.
In some ways, it feels like we're in the middle of a movie made by some deranged(疯狂的) economist, and we don't know yet if we're going to get the happy ending or the sad one. Does the rise of India and other developing countries supercharge(提高) global growth, or will all the new competition pull down wages in the industrialized world？ Is this period going to be titled The Bright Dawn or The Big Squeeze？
Certainly for workers in the industrialized world, the latest signs are troubling. Profits seem to be outpacing wages just about everywhere. As a result, from Japan to the U.S. to Europe, labor is getting a smaller share of the economic pie. The numbers are pretty straightforward: In Japan, the share of national income going to workers dropped from 53.1% in 2001 to 51.1% in the year ending with the first quarter of 2005. In the U.S., the employee share of gross domestic income dropped from 58% to 56.8%. In Western Europe, workers' share of national income dropped from 51.7% in 2001 to 50.5% at the end of 2004, before bouncing up a bit in the latest quarter.
An obvious—and pessimistic—explanation for this broad decline is the intensification of global competition, forcing formerly privileged workers in advanced countries to accept a lower standard of living. Harvard economist Richard Freeman has argued that the entry of China, India, and the former Soviet countries into the global economy has effectively doubled the size of the world's workforce. As a result, labor is relatively abundant, capital is relatively scarce, the returns to labor go down, and the returns to capital go up.
"Having twice as many workers and newly the same amount of capital places great pressure on labor markets throughout the world", writes Freeman. That "shifts the balance of power in markets toward capital, as more workers compete for working that capital."
This is the unhappy ending to the global economy story. However, the numbers are also consistent with another, much more upbeat(乐观的)ending. It could be that corporate restructuring efforts in Japan and Europe are finally taking hold, leading to higher profits and faster productivity growth, even as U.S. companies continue their efforts to boost efficiency. And it could be that there's just a lag before the productivity gains get passed on to workers in the form. of higher wages.
So, will we get the happy ending or the sad ending？ There's no way of telling yet—but hey, what fun is a movie with a predictable ending？
Similar to the story in the movie Casablanca, the world economy______.
A．is experiencing dramatic changes
B．is set in complicated political factors
C．involves fierce competition between different parties
D．is developing into two possible opposite directions

A Cloud of Stem Cell
The pressure on stem cell pioneer Woo Suk Hwang over the way he obtained human eggs for his research is intensifying-particularly in South Korea, where he had been a national hero. In the past week, several new claims have emerged that Hwang may have used eggs that were paid for, as well as eggs from junior members of his laboratory.
Hwang's team, based at South National University, has produced a string of landmark papers in stem cell research, including the first stem cells obtained from a cloned human embryo(胚胎)(W. S. Hwang et al. Science 303, 1669-1674; 2004) and the first patient-matched embryonic stem cells(W. S. Hwang et al. Science 308, 1777-1783; 2005).
For South Korean scientist, cloning pioneer and Snuppy creator, Woo Suk Hwang, things keep going from bad to worse. Last month, he had to admit that as part of the groundbreaking stem cell research he published in 2004, one of his colleagues had paid some women for their egg donations, and that two of the unpaid donors were Hwang's own junior researchers. Amid the moral controversy that followed, Hwang was in hospital for extreme fatigue and exhaustion. He was released earlier this week, only to find one of his former researchers on a national news broadcast claiming that the history-making stem cell lines Hwang created were fake.
The news broadcast was part of a multi-part investigative series by Korea's MBC-TV. Also in the broadcast, the researcher said that Hwang had told him to make up data in order to make it appear as if the South Koreans had created more stem cells, made from patients with diseases, than they actually had. "This is something I shouldn't have done," said the researcher, whose face was not shown on camera and was only identified by his last name, Kim. "I had no choice but to do it."
In a separate interview, Roh Sung Li, the doctor who had provided donated eggs to Hwang's research, said that Hwang had asked Science, the journal that published his paper on patient-specific stem cells, to withdraw the publication. A spokesperson at the journal said that they had not yet received a request to take back, but have e-mailed all 25 co-authors asking for clarification of the allegations(指控). Roh told news media that of the 11 stem cell lines created from patients with diseases, nine were fake. Whether the two remaining lines were valid, and photographed repeatedly to stand in for the other lines, is not clear. Roh also claims that after a visit to Hwang on Thursday, he believes there were no stem cells at all, and that all of the colonies had died in the lab. "I heard some things that I haven't been aware of when I visited Professor Hwang at his request, that there are no embryonic stem cells," he told MBC.
These latest claim comes just 24 hours after a former Hwang cooperator, Dr. Gerald Schatten of the University of Pittsburgh, charged Hwang with fabricating his data. Back in June, the two men had co-authored a paper published in Science that detailed how individual stem cell lines were created for 11 patients through cloning. When Hwang's immoral deeds were uncovered last month, Schatten was already publicly distancing himself from his onetime colleague. But on Tuesday, Schatten, took the next step and asked that his name be removed from the work. His reasons？ "Careful re-evaluations of published figures and tables," he said in his letter, "along with new problematic information, now cast substantial doubts about the paper's accuracy." Hwang has still not responded to these new accusations(指控), and Schatten has declined to comment further.
Hwang's academic affair is the latest plot twist in a drama that's playing out in the Korean press. Several days after Schatten's initial break with Hwang, Seoul's news outlets cited a Korean government official and other sources in both Korea and the U.S., claiming that Schatten had met with
