听力原文： London—even its very name suggests history and might. Its opportunities for entertainment by day and night go on and on and on. It's a city that excites visitors from all over the world. There are many different types of people doing many different types of things such as workers, business people, tourists, students, beggars, and queens. The city is so large that visitors will need to make use of the tube or London underground. A ride on a red double-decker bus is also possible and helps a visitor to know the city. The area of London is 1,572 square kilometers with a population of about 7.2 million people. The main geographical feature of the city is the river Thames, which flows through central London, dividing it into northern and southern halves. The central area and the most important sights, theatres and restaurants are on the north bank of the river. South London includes a mess of poor, dirty suburbs, such as Brixton, which have people from many different cultures.

London is a year-round tourist centre; places are open during the winter. The best chance of good weather is, of course, at the height of summer in July and August, but there's certainly no guarantee of sun even in those months plus it's when you can expect the biggest crowds and highest prices.

There are countless festivals and events in London. The first one each year is the New Year's Eve fireworks and street party in Trafalgar Square, followed by the New Year's Day Parade. In early May serious racers take part in the London Marathon. The Queen's Birthday Parade is held in June; Wimbledon, the famous tennis match, also runs for two weeks in the same month. In short, interesting festivals happen all year for tourists to enjoy.

A．London is not a popular place to visit.

B．London is the largest city in the world.

听力原文：M: You're not still watching television, are you？

W: I enjoy your television--I'll have to watch lots more while I'm here. The camera-work was very good. It looked like the work of real experts. Er... how long has television been going in Britain？

M: Oh, since 1936.

W: Ah!

M: Only in the London area at that time, though. There wasn't any television during the Second World War. It started up again afterwards. The BBC was the organization responsible for it.

W: What do the initials BBC stand for？

M: British Broadcasting Corporation. It's a public corporation. It isn't controlled by the government, but it's not a private company either. That means that the government can't use the BBC for propaganda purpose, and nor can private individuals or firms.

W: Is there any advertising？

M: Not on the BBC, ITV gets its money from advertising, though.

W: ITV？

M: ITV stands for Independent Television. It was started in 1954 again in the London area. It covers the whole country now, though.

W: What do people think of the advertisements on television？

M: It depends. A lot of people think it's a good idea because it means that television can pay its way--the ITV gets all its money from the advertisements.

W: What about the BBC？

M: You have to pay a TV license of ￡7 a year that goes to the BBC. Or ￡ 12 for color. A lot of people don't like having to pay and wish that there were advertisements on the BBC too. On the other hand, other people hate TV advertising because they think it's an insult to their intelligence.

(20)

A．There was television, but not in London.

B．There was no television anywhere in England.

In the world of tennis, the London International Tennis Tournament ended today. Samuel Cox of the United States was the winner with Lloyd Smith, of Great Britain, finishing second. Cox scored a decisive victory over Smith in his first major victory outside the United States. His victory also marked the first time that an American has won the London Tennis Tournament in over fifty years. The only other American to win it was Fred Jackson in 1938. Cox won the tournament quickly in three sets. He started out playing aggressively, and the overwhelmed Smith could not keep up with its overpowering serves. Cox took home the $500,000 cash prize and Smith received $350,000. When asked about the big victory, Cox stated he just hopes to be able to win again in next month's tournaments in Paris and Copenhagen.

听力原文：In ancient Greece athletic festivals were very important and had strong religious

听力原文： In ancient Greece athletic festivals were very important and had strong religious associations. The Olympic athletic festival, held every four years in honor of Zeus, eventually lost its local character, be came first a national event, and then, after the rules against foreign competitors had been abolished, international. No one knows exactly how far back the Olympic Games go, but some official records date from 776 B. C.

The Games took place in August on the plain by Mount Olympus. Many thousands of spectators gathered from all parts of Greece, but no married woman was admitted even as a spectator. Slaves, women and dishonored people were not allowed to compete. Records show that the evening of the third day was devoted to sacrificial offerings to the heroes of the day, and the fourth day, that of the full moon, was set aside as a holy day. On the sixth and last day, all the victors were crowned with holy garlands of wild olive from a sacred wood. So great was the honor that the winner of the foot race gave his name to the year of his victory. How their results compared with modern standards, we unfortunately have no means of telling.

After an uninterrupted history of almost 1,200 years, the Games were abolished in A.D. 394 be cause of their pagan origin. It was a great many years before there was another such international athletic gathering. The Greek institution was brought back into existence in 1896 and the first small meeting took place in Athens. After the 1908 London Olympics, success was re-established and nations sent their best representatives.

Today, the Games are held in different countries in turn. The Olympics start with the arrival in the stadium of a torch, lighted on Mount Olympus by the sun's rays. It is carried by a succession of runners to the stadium. The torch symbolizes the continuation of the ancient Greek athletic ideals, and it burns throughout the Games until the closing ceremony.

(33)

A．in the seventh century A. D.

B．certainly before 700 B. C.

C．over three thousand years ago

D．a thousand years ago

听力原文： As city residents, we all think that we know what the word "city" means, but do we really (32) ？ Here are some interesting facts.

In Britain, a town of any size can be called a city, if it has a cathedral. So London today includes the two cities of London and Westminster, because both parts have a cathedral (33) . But a small place in North Wales called St. Asaph has a population of fewer than 4,000 and yet because it has a cathedral it is also called a city. on the other hand, Birmingham was so large that it was specially made into a city, even though it did not have a cathedral (34) .

In the USA, "city" is simply a legal term, and it does not depend on the size or importance of the place. Confusingly, however, the US Census Bureau, an American government department that conducts official counts of the population, classifies any place with a population of over 2,500 as a city, no matter how far out in the countryside it is.

The world's most densely populated city is the area of Japan that includes Tokyo and Yokohama, which has an estimated 29,272,000 inhabitants (34) . But, in the future, it may well be replaced by a city in China or a city in India.

So, what is a city？ It all depends on where you live.

(33)

A．US census officials.

B．Government employees,

C．People who live in the city.

D．Lawyers who work for the Church.
