听力原文： In todays class, well discuss Toni Morrisons novel Beloved. As Im sure you al

l know, Morrison is both a popular and highly respected author and its not easy to be both. Born in 1931, Morrison has written some of the most touching and intelligent works on the African-American experience ever written by anyone. And yet to call her an African-American writer doesnt seem to do her justice. In many ways, shes simply an American writer and certainly one of the best. Beloved is a truly remarkable work. It was recommended for nearly every nature literary class, including the National Book Award and the National Book Critics Circle Award, and it in fact won the Pulitzer Prize for fiction in 1988. Morrison herself is distinguished for having won the Nobel Prize for literature in 1993. What makes Beloved unique is the skillful sure way in which Morrison blends intensely personal storytelling and American history, racial themes and gender themes, the experience of blacks with the experience of all people everywhere, the down-to-earth reality of slavery with the sense of mysterious spirituality. We will be paying special attention to these themes as we discuss this work and Im particularly interested in your views on the relative importance of grace and gender in this book. Is it more important that Sethe, the main character, is black, or that she is a woman？ Which contributes more to her being？ What does Morrison tell us about both？ 23. What do we learn about Toni Morrison？ 24. What honor did Toni Morrison receive in 1993？ 25. What does the speaker tell us about Sethe, the main character, in Morrisons novel Beloved？24．

A．The Book Critics Circle Award.

B．The Nobel Prize for literature.

C．The Pulitzer Prize for fiction.

D．The National Book Award.

听力原文：Narrator Listen to part of a lecture in a geography class. Professor Were gon

na look at the effects of global warming on a particular country to get this thing into context and I want to look at Australia, a country with 12 000 kilometers of coastline. Theres a whole series of problems. What I mean by that is uh... in a country like this, well, there are floods, droughts, cyclones, bushfires, landslides, earthquakes, soil degradation and...so on you name it, weve got it! OK. Now on your handouts theres a list of reading materials which you should have a look at in preparation for your tutorials next week. Id particularly recommend The Greenhouse Effect by Henderson-Sellers and Blong—theyre very good on the Australian situation. If you...for general background, Lovelocks is good, and the book edited by Pearman offers a nice review of greenhouse issues in Australia. Ive put them in Special Reserve, so you shouldnt have any trouble finding them. Okey...so Im gonna start today by looking at one of the most serious effects of a change in the global temperature that is, a rise in sea-level and...as I said, Im gonna concentrate today on the effects this would have on the Australian context. If we assume that therell be a meter or so rise in sea-level over uh...say, the next fifty years but unfortunately, the situations not so clear because weve got to take into consideration a variety of scenarios such as increased precipitation at the poles which might actually cause a fall in sea-level. Anyway, taking this figure of a meter rise over, say, the fifty or so years, what are we going to see？ Well, well see an effect on flooding of structures on the coast you know, house, sea walls, ports and the whole infrastructure of roads, rails, power lines and cables, and so on. Secondly, were gonna be seeing shoreline retreat in some low-lying areas. The sea will move inland in areas...such as the Gulf of Carpentaria. To put it another way, in low-lying urban areas, your nice beachfront apartment may just end up floating away and your parking lot two hundred meters from the beach will end up as a prime waterfront estate. Most Australian cities are on the coast and in the case of Brisbane in particular well, take a look at this overhead. Thats roughly the area indicated by the blue line thats gonna be affected with a one meter rise in sea-level. So if youre thinking of investing in real estate in this area, take my advice dont! Again, though, its difficult to predict the situation. Local conditions in some areas may actually increase the deposit of materials affecting an extension of the land. But whichever way you look at it therell be a fairly radical change to many eco-systems, and if you recall last weeks lecture on change well, were really opening a can of worms here. Apart from coastal flooding, we should also expect the penetration of salt water systems into estuaries, rivers and lagoons. If you think about the Myall Lakes system for example well, the whole freshwater complex could be reunited with the sea. One of the most serious direct consequences of this for man of course would be seepage into the groundwater in other words, the seas salt water would enter the water table under the land. This would cause salinity in sources of drinking water and irrigation. Thirdly, we should expect to see a rise in temporary flooding of coastal areas. Im not talking about flooding as a result of increased rainfall, though thats another consideration Ill come to it later. For now, Im talking about flooding as a result of higher tides. Think about it, the swamping of the storm water drainage system. Whats that gonna do to the street youre living in？ So, in summary, as weve seen youve got coastal flooding, destruction of coastal structures, shoreline shifts and salt water intrusion. Ill come back to some of these later, but for now, lets move on and look at tropical cyclones. Everyone remembers Tracy. Or maybe you dont because that is going back to 1974. Im getting a bit old. Now get ready to answer the questions. You may use your notes to help you answer. 18. What is the lecture mainly about？ 19. Which of the following is NOT mentioned as a direct effect of the rise in sea-level？ 20. What does "temporary flooding of coastal areas" mean？ 21. What does the professor imply when she says this？ Professor ...your parking lot two hundred meters from the beach will end up as a prime waterfront estate. Listen again to part of the lecture. Then answer the question. Professor But whichever way you look at it therell be a fairly radical change to many eco-systems, and if you recall last weeks lecture on change—well, were really opening a can of worms here. 22. Why does the professor say this？ Professor well, were really opening a can of worms here. Listen again to part of the lecture. Then answer the question. Professor ...but for now, lets move on and look at tropical cyclones. Everyone remembers Tracy. Or maybe you dont because that is going back to 1974. Im getting a bit old. 23. What does the word "Tracy" most probably refer to？Narrator Listen to part of a lecture in a geography class. Now get ready to answer the questions. You may use your notes to help you answer.

What is the lecture mainly about？

A．Global warming.

B．Shoreline retreat.

C．Rise in sea-level.

听力原文：W: Welcome to our programme, Mr Smith. M: Thank you. W: Mr Smith, how long have

you been a police officer？ M: Ive been a police officer for thirty years. W: Thirty years. And youve had different types of assignments on the police force, I guess. M: Yeah, Ive done everything from patrol to undercover work to detective work, and now Im supervising investigations. W: Mr Smith, I think most people would say that being a police officer is a very stressful job. Would you agree？ M: Yes, its definitely a stressful job. But it depends on your assignment. W: So, whats probably the most stressful job you can have？ M: Id say patrol is the most stressful assignment. W: Thats interesting! In what way？ M: Well, I guess the biggest part of the stress is the fear factor, the fear of the unknown. W: What do you mean, Mr Smith？ M: Well, in patrol work, you dont know from moment to moment who you are talking to or what their reaction is going to be to justify your presence. Lets say, for example, a patrol officer stops someone for a traffic violation. It seems as though that would be a very low-stress situation. W: Yes, it is a very low-stress situation. M: But the truth is, there are more police officers injured during a routine stop. W: Really？ M: Really! Thats why all police officers are taught from the very beginning to be aware of their surroundings: people back over policemen, people shoot policemen, people jump out at policemen — different kinds of things. So thats probably the most stressful time. W: I see. Lets take a break and then well move on to our next topic. M: All right. Questions 9 to 12 are based on the conversation you have just heard. 9. Whats the relationship between the two speakers？ 10. What do we know about Mr Smith from the conversation？ 11. What assignment does Mr Smith believe is the most stressful？ 12. Why are all police officers taught to be aware of their surroundings from the very beginning？10．

Read the following reviews of a book called The Bosses Speak. For each question 1-6, choos

e the correct answer. Mark letter (A,B or C) on your Answer Sheet. John Stuart is an executive recruitment specialist who has turned to writing. The result is this book, based on interviews with twenty Chief Executives. Each top manager—none of them famous names, surprisingly is given a short chapter, and there is some introductory material and a conclusion. This means you can jump from one person to another, in any order, which is good for people who are too busy to read a book form. cover to cover. For a management book it isnt expensive, although whether its good value for money is doubtful. Some of the twenty interviewees started their own businesses, while others joined a company and worked , and fairly new in their position, and others have had years of experience—though, strangely, Stuart doesnt seem interested in these differences. The interviewees work in everything, from retailing to airlines to software, and it is this variety that forms the main theme of Stuarts book. I have to say that Stuarts approach annoys me. He rarely stays at a distance from his interviewees, who are mostly presented in their own, positive words. If this were always the case, at least you would know where you were. But he seems to dislike certain interviewees. As a result, I dont know whether to accept any of his opinions. It also means that the book gives no clear lessons. At the very least, I expected to learn what makes a successful Chief Executive. But these people seem to share two types of qualities. Some of them are very common, suggesting that anyone can be equally successful, which is definitely not the case. And the other qualities are ones which most successful bosses Ive seen definitely do not have. So in the end Im no wiser about what really goes on. Perhaps Im being unfair. As long as you dont think about whether youd like them as friends, and pay no attention to most of the advice they give, the most readable parts are where the bosses describe their route to their present position. Stuart seems to think that his book would be useful for people aiming for the top, and that it might even make a few want to start their own company; but, in fact, what they could learn here is very limited. Seen as light business reading for a doctor or teacher, though, this book would provide some good entertainment.

The reviewer suggests that one advantage of the book is that .

A.it is better value than other management books

B.it does not need to be read right through

C.it is about well-known people

Poetry

People seldom feel neutral about poetry(诗). Those who love it sometimes give the impression that it is an adequate substitute for food, shelter, and lobe. It isn't words, no matter how satisfying, are never an equivalent for life itself and its human experiences. Those who dislike poetry on principle sometimes claim, on the other hand, that poetry is only works and good for nothing. That's not true either. It is easy to become frustrated by words-in poetry or in life-but when words represent and recreate genuine human feelings, as they often do in poetry, they can be very important. Poetry is, in fact, more than just words. It is an experience of words, and those who know how to read poetry can easily extend their experience of life, their sense of what other people are like, their awareness of themselves, and their range of human feelings.

One reason poetry can be so important is that it is so closely concerned with feelings, poetry is often full of ideas, too, and sometimes poems can be powerful experiences of the mind, but most poems are primarily about how people feel rather than how people think. Poems provide, in fact, a language for feeling, and one of poetry's most insistent merits involves its at tempt to express the inexpressible. How can anyone, for example, put into words what it means to be in love or what it feels like to lose someone one cares about？ Poetry tries, and it often captures exactly the shade of emotion that feels just right to a reader. No single poem can be said to express all the things that love or death feels like, or means, but one of the joys of experiencing poetry occurs when we read a poem and want to say," Yes, that is just what it is like; I know exactly what that line means but I've never been able to express it so well." Poetry can be the voice of our feelings even when our minds are speechless with grief or joy.

"People seldom feel neutral about poetry"(in Para. 1) in this context means that ______.

A．few people think that poetry is neutral

B．people always differ in their views about poetry

C．people rarely take a biased opinion about poetry

D．people generally think of poetry as extremely important or totally useless

听力原文： As Managing Director of our company Ive been asked to say a few words to you

today about the way the company is organised. At the top above me, theres the Board of Directors. Their job is to administrate the company, make general policies, and so on. There are two kinds of Directors, actually. One kind is what we call non-executive Directors, which means that they are standing in various parts of the business world and are in a position to help the company to succeed. They only appear when there are meetings of the Board, and some of them are on the boards of other companies at the same time. But the second lot of Directors — the Executive Directors — are full-time employees of the company. Most of them are managers of our various departments. The absolute head of the company, of course, is the Chairman of the Board. He is appointed by the Board, and his job is to take the chair at meetings of the shareholders and the Board of Directors, and to represent the companys interests at outside functions. He does not take much part in the running of the business. He leaves me to get on with the job. Mind you, not all chairmen are like that. Our last one was a real pain, always wanted everything done in his own way and he kept on interfering. Then theres me, the Managing Director, or MD for short — as long as you dont think Im a Doctor of Medicine. Now, my job is to coordinate the policies decided by the Directors and see that they are carried out. I do this through the various managers of departments. Questions 16 to 18 are based on the passage you have just heard. 16. What is the main topic of the talk？ 17. Who is responsible for chairing the meetings of the shareholders？ 18. What is MD short for？17．

A．The Chairman of the Board.

B．The Managing Director.

C．The General Manager.

D．The Executive Director.
