听力原文： The first English dictionary was published in 1604. The dictionary was a list. of about 3 000 difficult words, each followed by a one-word definition. The author, Robert Cawdrey, did not include everyday words in his dictionary．He believed that no one would look up a word in a dictionary if he already knew the meaning of the word．
During the 1600s，more dictionaries were published．Each followed Cawdrey's lead and presented a few thousand difficult words．Around 1700，one dictionary maker，John Kersey，did define easy words as well as difficult ones．But until the 1750s，all dictionaries were not very valuable．
A man called Dr．Samuel Johnson changed all this．In 1755 Dr．Johnson produced the first modern dictionary．He included in his dictionary all important words，both easy and hard，and he gave good meanings．He also gave good example sentences in speech and writing．By the end of the 1700 s most dictionary makers had followed Johnson's lead．Dictionaries were getting better and better．
The 1800s saw the greatest improvement in the quality of dictionaries．In England scholars planned and prepared the Oxford English Dictionary，a twenty—volume work．One of the most interesting features of the Oxford Dictionary is its word histories．It traces the history of each word from its earliest recorded use up to the time of the printing of the dictionary．

Tea in Britain
Tea, that most essential English drinks, is a relative late comer to British shores. Although the custom of drinking tea dates back to the third millennium (千年) BC in China, it was not until the mid 17th century that the beverage(饮料) first appeared in England. The use of tea spread slowly from its Asian homeland, reaching Europe by way of Venice around 1560, although Portuguese trading ships may have made contact with the Chinese as early as 1515. It was the Portuguese and Dutch traders who first imported tea to Europe, with regular shipments by 1610. England was a latecomer to the tea trade, as the East India Company did not invest on tea's popularity until the inid-18th century.
Coffee Houses
Curiously, it was the London coffee houses that were responsible for introducing tea to England. One of the first coffee house merchants to offer tea was Thomas Garway, who owned an establishment in Exchange Alley. He sold both liquid and dry tea to the public as early as 1657. Three years later he issued a broadsheet advertising tea at 6 and 10 per pound, flattering its virtues at "making the body active and energetic", and "preserving perfect health until extreme old age".
Tea gained popularity quickly in the coffee houses, and by 1700 over 500 coffee houses sold it. Ibis distressed the pub owners, as tea cut their sales of wine, and it was bad news for the government, who depended upon a steady stream of revenue from taxes on liquor sales. By 1750 tea had become the favoured drink of Britain's lower classes.
Taxation on Tea
Charles U did his bit to counter the growth of tea, with several acts(法案)forbidding its sale in private houses. This measure was designed to counter sedition(混乱), but it was so unpopular that it was impossible to enforce. A 1676 act taxed tea required coffee house operators to apply for a license. This was just the start of government attempts to control, or at least, to profit from the popularity of tea in Britain. By the mid 18th century the duty on tea had reached 119%. This heavy taxation had the effect of creating a whole new industry tea smuggling.
Smuggling Tea
Ships from Holland and Scandinavia brought tea to the British coast, then stood offshore while smugglers met them and unloaded the precious cargo in small vessels. The smugglers, often local fishermen, transported the tea inland through underground passages and hidden paths to special hiding places. One of the best hiding places was in the local parish(教区) church! Even smuggled tea was expensive, however, and therefore extremely profitable, so many smugglers began to mix the tea with other substances, such as the leaves of some trees. Used tea leaves were also redried and added to fresh leaves.
Finally, in 1784 William Pitt the Younger introduced the Commutation Act, which dropped the tax on tea from'! 19% to 12.5%, effectively ending smuggling. Bad quality tea remained a problem, though, until the Food and Drag Act of 1875 brought in strict punishment for the practice.
Tea Clippers (快速帆船)
In the early 1800's ships carrying tea from the Far East to Britain could take over a year to bring home their precious cargo. When the East India Company was given a monopoly(垄断) on the tea trade in 1832, they realized the need to cut the time of this journey. The Americans actually designed the first "clippers", or streamlined, tall-masted vessels, but the British were close behind. These clippers sped along at nearly 18 knots by contemporary accounts—nearly as fast as a modem ocean liner.
So great was the race for speed that an annual competition was begun for dippers to race from the Canton River to the London Docks. The first ship to unload its cargo won the captain and crew a good bonus.
The most famous of the clipper ships was the Cutty Sark, built in 1868. It only made the tea run eight

SECTION B ENGLISH TO CHINESE
Directions: Translate the following text into Chinese.
A look through the Bettmann collection is like a journey through 15,000 years of history; from ancient cave drawings to the latest news photographs, there is scarcely a visual image that can' t be found in its files.
Subjects range from politicians to entertainment and sports figures, from the Parthenon in ancient Greece to the Sears Tower in Chicago.
Famous news events and historical images alike which have been captured either by the blink of a shutter or the hand of an artist are part of Bettmann' s extensive archive. From the Boston Tea Party in 1773 that helped ignite America's war for independence to the civil rights marches in the U. S. South during the 1960s, Bettmann is a veritable history book of visual images.

听力原文： Could I have your attention please？ Thank you.
As I told you this morning, this afternoon is our shopping afternoon. If you have a look at the back page of your tour programme, you'll see a little map of the city centre, with the names of some of the shops marked. As you won't have too much time, I'm just going to explain to you what they sell.
We're now in the Friendship Shopping Centre. On your right is Larp's, a very good place for shoes and boots, rather than gloves, bags, clothes or others. Opposite that is Li Ning, a good place for sports goods, not cheap, but really pretty. Next door to Li Ning is a place for books. They have got books on almost every subject anyone has ever written about, airplanes to animals, but Chinese only--so none of your English books I'm afraid. If you walk along, there are shops which sell cameras, radios, and so on, which you won't buy, I'm afraid. If you are tired or would like to have a nice cup of afternoon tea, I suggest Splend Tea Shop, where you can have British afternoon tea, with very good home-made cakes, chocolates and others. The shop is two blocks away from here, but within walking distance.
What does the speaker do most probably？
A．He's a teacher.
B．He's a tour guide.
C．He's a shop assistant.
