听力原文: When Sir Winston Churchill, the great British Prime minister, reached his eightieth birthday in November, 1954, he was presented with his portrait by a well-known modern artist, Graham Sutherland. The painting had been ordered and paid for by the members of Parliament, who wanted to honor the Grand Old Man of World War Ⅱ.
Sir Winston and Lady Churchill were deeply moved by this mark of respect and affection. Neither of them, of course, allowed the donors to see how much they both disliked the portrait. "It makes me look stupid which I am not!" protested Churchill in private. Publicly, he only remarked that it was "a fine example of modern art. " His friends smiled; it was well-known that Sir Winston didn't care for modern art.
Who honored him with his portrait?
A.A well-known artist.
B.Parliament.
C.His friend.

听力原文: Cities try to improve their transportation in order for cars, buses and trucks to travel easily on them. Large highways run through cities, so people can travel from their home to their job quickly. Also, cities have installed traffic lights to control the vehicles on the highways. Two cities experimented with public buses to reduce the number of automobiles on that street. In Rome, passengers on city buses did not have to pay for a bus ticket. In Stockholm, people paid a low price for a one-year ticket to travel on any bus, trolley car or train in the city. Finally, to increase the safety of people who walk, many cities have closed some streets to vehicles.
(33)
A.Cars, buses, and trucks.
B.Highways built outside of the city.
C.Traffic lights.
D.Reducing the number of buses and cars.

听力原文: It was not yet eleven o'clock when a boat crossed the river with a single passenger, who had promised to pay an extra fare. While the youth stood on the landing place searching in his pockets for money, the boatman got close to him and, with the help of the moonlight, took a careful look at the stranger—a young man of just 18 years, obviously country bred, and now, as it seemed, on his first visit to town.
He was wearing a rough grey coat, which was in good shape. The clothes under his coat were veil made of leather, and fitted tightly to a pair of fat legs; his blue cotton stockings must have been the work of his mother or sister, and on his head was a 3-cornered hat. In his left hand was a walking stick, which hung on his strong shoulders, with 2 leather bags on both ends of the stick. The youth, whose name was Robin, paid the boatman, and then walked forward into the town with light steps, as if he had not already traveled more than 30 miles that day. As he walked along, he looked about his surroundings as eagerly as if he were entering London or Madrid, instead of the little town.
(33)
A.Because he knew he would be paid more than what was usual.
B.Because Robin was just over 20.
C.Because he felt sorry for the handsome young man.
D.Because the boat could only carry one passenger.

听力原文: The authors of the (21) survey note that as long as responsibility for childcare is with the women. They will remain (22) trapped in the family. They also point out that concessions to women in the world of work often result in women being (23) compelled into less well paid jobs. This already happens in regard to part-time workers who are paid a lower (24) hourly wage than full-time workers. They point out that men have to square to their responsibility as fathers. The key they (25) emphasize is a change in men's attitudes.
However what was not (26) mentioned is that no matter how attitudes change, men are as (27) powerless as individuals in regard to their working conditions as women are. With all the goodwill in the world they cannot change their employer/employee (28) relationship, they cannot adjust their working hours to suit childcare just as women can. A more (29) fundamental conclusion would be that society at the moment, capitalism, does not want to accommodate any of the problems of childcare, preferring to leave it up to the individual to make their own (30) arrangements as best as they can.

听力原文: Some people divide the English learners into three groups: beginners, intermediate learners, and learners of special English. Beginners need to learn the basics of English. Students who have reached an intermediate level benefit from learning general English skills. But what about students who want to learn specialist English for their work or professional life? Most students, who fit into this third group, have clear idea about what they want to learn. A bank clerk, for example, wants to use this specialist vocabulary and terms of finance. For a start, the variety is enormous. Every field from airline pilots to secretaries has its own vocabulary and technical terms. Teachers also need to have an up-to-date knowledge of that specialist language, and not many teachers are exposed to working environments outside the classroom. These issues have influenced the way specialist English is taught in schools. This type of course is usually known as English for Specific Purposes, or ESP and there are ESP courses for almost every area of professional and working life. In Britain, for example, there are courses which teach English for doctors, lawyers, reporters, travel agents and people working in the hotel industry. By far, the most popular ESP courses are for business English.

A.They want to change the way English is taught.
B.They learn English to find well up to paid jobs.
C.They want to have an up-to-date knowledge of English.
