听力原文:Strange things happen to time when you travel, because the earth is divided into

听力原文: Strange things happen to time when you travel, because the earth is divided into twenty-four time zones, one hour apart. You can have days with more or fewer than twenty-four hours, and weeks with more or fewer than seven days.

If you make a five-day trip across the Atlantic Ocean, your ship enters a different time zone every day. As you enter each zone, the time changes one hour. Traveling west, you set your clock back; traveling east, you set it ahead. Each day of your trip has either twenty-five or twenty-three hours.

If you travel by ship across the Pacific, you cross the international date line. By agreement, this is the point where a new day begins. When you cross the line, you change your calendar one full day, backward or forward. Traveling east, today becomes yesterday; traveling west, it is tomorrow !

Which of the following is the difference in time between zones?

A.Seven days.

B.Twenty-four hours.

C.One hour.

D.More than seven days.

听力原文:In the United States, couples usually receive gifts from their relatives and frie

听力原文: In the United States, couples usually receive gifts from their relatives and friends when they get married. Sometimes a bride will exchange a gift for something else if she doesn't find it useful. We give gifts to express our good wishes for the marriage, but gifts aren't necessary for the marriage itself. However, in some societies gifts are very important, and the marriage isn't legal without them. One type of gift is called bride service. A young husband must work for his wife's family. He may work for as long as fifteen years or until the third child is bom. Bride service may seem strange to us, but it is necessary in societies where people don't have money or material things to exchange at marriage.

(20)

A.She will ask for another gift

B.She will exchange it for something useful

C.She will return it to the giver

D.She will just keep it

听力原文: We usually think of history as the story of important people and events, but some historians are also interested in the daily lives of ordinary people. We can get this kind of information from written documents like diaries and town records. Of course--but strange as this may seem--we can also learn from studying old family portraits. Family portraits provide clues about things like the size of the family and the hobbies and tastes of family members. The number of children in a portrait, for example, indicates size of the family; the types of clothing family members wore for the portrait may suggest the popular fashions of the time. The objects that children hold in their hands can give clues about the games they played and their hobbies. The background of a family portrait gives historians an idea of room size and furnishings and even the wealth and social position of the family. All these details help historians understand more about the everyday lives of some of the ordinary people from the past.

(33)

A.Articles written by previous historians.

B.Significant events and influential people.

C.Unusual works of art.

D.Dates and names that cannot be verified.

听力原文: The French are at heart traditionalists. Though they dearly love revolutions, they disapprove of shifts in behavior. Everything must be done properly, an expression that applies equally to getting married and getting drunk, stuffing a duck and filling in a form, addressing an envelop and addressing a teacher. There is an established order of things, and the order was established by the French.

The desire to maintain standards is best seen on any holiday in the summer. Where the Italians, the British, and even the Germans, relax sufficiently to leave their faces unshaven, or mealtimes become irregular, or dresses become strange, the French behave as though they were still under the microscope of real life.

French men and women take two hours over their morning making up. Watch any Frenchman at a campsite in the summer and see how long he spends shaving, trimming his moustache, and on general showers.

Wives cook three-course lunches which they serve to their husbands in the stuffy heat at little tables with linen napkins and polished dishware. The white wine must stand in an ice bucket. Everything is correct -- the bread, the cheese, the sauce.

Mr. eats greedily. Mrs. stands behind him, and a little to the side, nodding happily. She will do the washing-up immediately the meal is finished. All will be neat and tidy before any other activity is even considered.

(30)

A.Italian people.

B.German people.

C.British people.

D.French people.

听力原文:W: Is there such a thing as a typical shoplifter?

M: Uh, not really... But there are certain types most shoplifters fall into. Three types, I would say.

W: Tell me more about these three types.

M: Well... uh... people in the first type are what I call "the sudden impulse type". Doctors and psychologists call such people kleptomaniacs. They see something and just can't ... uh... help stealing it. The strange thing about this first type is that the people in it are often well off and could easily afford to buy the thing. Sometimes they don't even need it... and often they're emotionally disturbed in some way.., middle-aged women, for example, whose husbands have left them, or perhaps older men whose wives have recently died.

W: What about the second type?

M: Well, those are people who are really... "little thieves" They work alone, and know exactly what they want before they go into the store. These days a lot of them, but by no means all, are teenagers who steal things they can't afford. Leather jackets, watches, expensive cosmetics, things like that.

W: And the third type.'? What kind of people do you find in the third type?

M: Ah, yes, they're what I call "the experts".

W: Why?

M: Well, first of all, because they're highly organized. And secondly because they do it for a living. They usually operate in groups of three or sometimes four, and they're extremely difficult to catch.

W: Can they make a lot of money that way?

M: Oh, yes. They're very well off, believe me... much better off than a store detective..., or even a journalist!

How many kinds of shoplifters are mentioned in the dialogue?

A.2

B.3

C.4

D.5

听力原文:M: Hello! You seem worried. Can I help you?

W: Oh, I feel so strange with my feet in the skis.

M: So you don’t know how to ski. Is it the first time you come here skiing?

W: It’s even the first time I have seen the real white snow.

M: No kidding! Where are you from, young lady?

W: My family and I live in Hainan Province, China. We do not have snow in winter. It’s always sunshine.

M: No wonder. I guess you must be a good swimmer, then.

W: You’re right. Swimming is my favorite hobby. But I simply don’t know what to do with these skis.

M: Don’t worry. I’m sure you will learn it very soon. Now walk as I do, all right? ...Good! Let’s go up the hill and try once, shall we? When you want to go up the slope, you should stand sideways and go up step by step, just like a crab!

W: Oh, it’s really funny. I’ve never walked in this way, but it’s interesting.

M: Let’s move to the gentle slope, shall we? It will make things easier.

W: I guess I’m a little nervous.

M: Take it easy. Trust yourself. Now, keep leaning forward while going down. Remember the tips mustn’t cross or you’ll fall down. If you want to stop, you should point the tips together, got it?

W: I see. Oh, I have done it! Thank you. You are so kind!
