Throughout history, other less famous men had wanted to fly, an example was a man in England 800 years ago. He made a pair of wings from chicken feathers. Then he fixed them to his body and jumped into air from a tall building. He did not fly every far. Instead, he fell to the ground and broke every bone in his body.
The first real steps took place in France, in 1783. Two brothers, the Montgolfiers, made a very large "hot air ballon". They knew that hot air rises. Why not fill a balloon with it？ The ballon was made of cloth and paper. In September of that year. The King and Queen of France came to see the balloon. They watched it carry the very first air passengers into the sky. The passengers were a sheep and a chicken. We do not know how they felt about the trip. But we do know that the trip lasted eight minutes and that the animals land ed safely. Two months later, two men did the same thing. They rose above Paris in a balloon of the same kind. Their trip last- ed twenty-five minutes and they traveled about eight kilometers.
Leonardo Da Vinci ______.
A．said that man would in the sky one day
B．built a kind of machine which never flew
C．drew many beautiful pictures of birds.
D．made designs for flying machines.

听力原文： In 1963 the leader of the Labor Party made a speech explaining plans for a "university of the air"-- an educational system which would make use of television, radio and correspondence courses. Many people laughed at the idea, but it became part of the Labor Party's program to give educational opportunity to people who had not had a chance to receive further education.
By 1969 plans were well advanced and by August 1970 the Open University, as it is now called, had received 400 000 applications. Only 25 000 could be accepted for the four "foundation" courses offered: social sciences, arts, science and mathematics. Unsuccessful candidates were told to apply again the following year, when a foundation course in technology would also be offered.
The first teaching programs appeared on the air and screen in January 1971, with clerks, farm workers, housewives, teachers, policemen and many others as students. Correspondence units had been carefully prepared and science students were given devices for a small home laboratory. Study centers have been set up all over the country so that students can attend once a week, and once a year they will spend a week at one of the university's summer schools.
It has been nearly 40 years since the Open University started to offer courses. Now it is a very important part of the British educational system. Not only does it offer foundation courses like those mentioned above, it also carries out very advanced scientific researches, some of which will lead to Master's or PH. D Degrees.
32. How did people in the 1960's like the idea of establishing a "university of the air"？
33.Which course was one of the four "foundation" courses offered in the Open University？
34.When did the first teaching programs appear on the air and screen？

(33)
A．Many thought it was ridiculous.
B．Some expected it to replace traditional ones.
C．Most regarded it as a convenient educational channel.
D．No one took it very seriously.

In the second test, the test pilot must find out exactly what happens when all the engines are shut off at once. He takes the plane up very high. Then he shuts the engines off, the plane begins to fall like a stone. It is the pilot's job to find out how he can control the plane again. These two tests are examples of. how planes are made safe before they ever carry passengers.
What's the main topic of this passage？
A．It's about the tests of a new airliner before its flying.
B．It's about how to protect a new airliner.
C．It's about how to train a new pilot.
D．It's about what the airliner engineers should do.

听力原文： Before a new plane goes into service, every part of it is tested again and again. But there are two tests that are more important than all the others. In the first test, a modern airliner must fly at very high altitudes. Air must be pushed into the airliner so that the passengers can breathe. The metal structure of the plane has to be very strong for this reason. When the airliner is filled with air, the air presses against the skin of the plane inside. The pressure on a small window, for instance, is like a huge, giant foot that is trying to get out. If a small part of the plane were to crack, the plane would explode in the sky. It is lowered into a huge tank of water to test the structrue of the plane. Then it is filled with air. The pressure inside the plane is greater than it ever will be when it is in the air. Finally, there is an explosion. Engineers can discover which part of the plane has cracked.
In the second test, the test pilot must find out exactly what happens when all the engines are shut off at once. He takes the plane up very high. Then he shuts the engines off, the plane begins to fall like a stone. It is the pilot's job to find out how he can control the plane again. These two tests are examples of. how planes are made safe before they ever carry passengers.

听力原文： Some students at the Open University left school 20 years ago, others are younger, but all must be at least 21 years old. This is one example of how the Open University is different from all other universities. Its students must either work fulltime or be at home all day, for example, mothers of families. (32) They do not have to pass any examinations before they are accepted as students. This is why the university is called "open". The university was started in order to help a known group-people who missed having a university education when they were young. The first name for the open University was "The University of the Air". The idea was to teach on the air.
In other words, on radio and television. (33) Most of the teaching is done like this. Radio and television have brought the classroom for a university education. The Open University students also receive advice at one of 283 study centers in the country. 36 weeks of the year he has to send written work to a tutor, (34) the person who guides his studies. He must also spend three weeks every summer as a full-time student. Tutors and students meet and study together, as in other universities. At the end of the Open University's first year, the results were good. Three out of every four students passed their examination. (35) If they do this every year, they will finish their studies in four or five years.
(33)
A．Because it has study centers all over the country.
B．Because its students can be very young or very old.
C．Because its students enter it without examinations.
D．Because it is very different from all other universities.

听力原文： Yoga becomes very popular nowadays, but it is important that we understand a few facts about it. First of all, it is not a religion. Yoga is a way of life and can serve only to improve your present way of life. Yoga is an exact science and a delicate art. Secondly, be as mechanical as possible. Never strain or pull too much. Forcing will cause your Body to resist and will actually slow down or even prevent your progress. Go gently. Stretch up to the point where it would start to hurt, then stop immediately. The key is the proper breathing through the nostrils with the mouth shut. Usually it is best to practise alone in a room with fresh air, wearing little or no clothing. Never practise on a full stomach because an empty stomach permits greater flexibility. Exercise will benefit your general health. Yoga cannot add or reduce pounds from your figure; only eating less or more food can do that. Always remember that diet affects weight, while exercise affects shape. Neither can do the job of the other.
(30)
A．A delicate art.
B．A religion.
C．An exact science.
D．A way of life

Dreams of Flight
The story of man's dream of flight, of his desire to reach the stars, is as old as mankind itself. According to Greek legend, Daedalus was the first man to fly. He and his son had been kept on an island, in order to escape, Daedalus shaped wings of wax (蜡) into which he stuck bird feathers. During their flight, his son flew too high and the sun melted the wax. He was drowned in the sea. The father was supposed to have continued his Night and reached Sicily, several hundred miles away.
There is also an English legend of King Bladud who, during his rule in the ninth century B.C., used wings to fly. But his flight was short-lived and he fell to his death. The dream of flying continued, but in all the legends, the flier rose like a bird only to fall like a stone. It took hundreds of years that men flew up into the air and returned to earth safely.
The first man to approach flying on a scientific basis was an Englishman who lived during the thirteenth century. He looked at the air about us as a sea, and he believed that a balloon could float on the air just as a boat did on water. Almost four hundred years later, an Italian priest applied his principle of air flight. He designed a boat, which would be held in the air by four hollow spheres (空心球). Each of the four balls was to be 20 feet in diameter (直径) and made of very thin copper. But his boat was never .built since it was not possible to make spheres of such thin metal and such size in those days.
After studying the flight of birds and the movement of the air, a great scientist of the fifteenth century concluded that birds flew because they flapped (摆动) their wings and that it was possible for man to do the same. So a kind of flapping-wing flying machine was invented. Many men tried and failed to fly with flying machines. It was not until 1890 that people discovered why this method would never succeed-man could not develop sufficient power with his arms and legs.
How did Daedalus manage to escape to Sicily, according to the passage？
A．He killed the guards and got out of the island.
B．A god came to rescue him and took him away.
C．His son came to rescue him and took him away.
D．He made wings of wax and flew away from the island.

A teddy bear from Cumbria is launching into space to raise cash for charity (慈善). Terence, an experienced traveler who has been to Iraq, will be the guest of honor on aviation (飞行、航空) legend Burt Rutan's Spaceship One when it flies above Earth. The mission takes off from California on September 29, and on his return the cuddly toy will be auctioned off (拍卖) in aid of the North Air Ambulance Appeal (北部空中救护服务中心).
Spaceship One is the world's first private spacecraft, and is competing for a prestigious space travel prize. Chief executive of the Great North Air Ambulance Service (GNAAS), Graham Pickering, said "flying officer" Terence had been handed over to the RAF six months ago and staff had been receiving postcards from him ever since.
He said, "Terence was a fundraising idea that really took off. We have received pictures of him in a U2 craft, trying parachuting and even looking drunk and disorderly. When the RAF finally discharges him he will be a very rare bear indeed — we just hope he does not burn up on reentry to Earth."
GNAAS, which needs charitable donations of more than ￡2m a year, has three air ambulances (空中救护机).
Peter Bond, spokesman for the Royal Astronomical Society, said Terence's safety was not guaranteed. He said, "This is a new and experimental craft and this will only be the second time it has flown. During its first voyage it developed technical problems but hopefully they have now been resolved."
Since May, Terence has spent time with members of 100 squadron (空军中队) based at RAF Lemming in Basra, Iraq, and at air shows with performing fighter planes.
Spaceship One will fly 100km(62 miles)above the earth's surface, just breaking through the planet's atmosphere.
If it repeats the feat (技艺) inside two weeks, it will claim the $10m Ansari X Prize set up to encourage the private space flight business.
Terence is______.
A．a real bear living in England
B．an experienced astronaut
C．an air force officer
D．a toy bear
