听力原文： We can read of things that happened 5000 years ago in the Near East, where people first learned to write. But there are some parts of the word where even now people cannot write. The only way that they can preserve their history is to recount it as sagas—legends handed down from one generation to another. (29)These legends are useful because they can tell us something about migrations of people who lived long ago, but none could write down what they did.

(30) Anthropologists wondered where the remote ancestors of the Polynesian people now living in the Pacific Islands came from. The sagas of these people explain that some of them came from Indonesia about 2000 years ago.

But the first people who were like ourselves lived so long ago that even their sagas, if they had any, are forgotten. So archaeologists have neither history nor legends to help them to find out where the first 'modern men' came from.

(31) Fortunately, however, ancient men made tools of stone, especially flint, because this is easier to shape than other kinds. They may also have used wood and skins, but these have rotted away. (31)Stone does not decay, and so the tools of long ago have remained when even the bones of the men who made them have disappeared without trace.

(30)

A．They moved from one place to another.

B．They came from Indonesia.

C．They have left us information about their migrations.

D．They preserved their sagas and legends.

听力原文： People always seem to be looking for ways to get rich quickly. So when gold was discovered in California in the mid 1800's, hundreds and hundreds of people rushed in, hoping to get a part of the wealth. Today, gold in California continues to have as much of an appeal as it did over one hundred years ago. Modem prospectors in the form. of mining corporations have headed back to the same area to use new techniques for locating the gold that old time prospectors left behind. These modern prospectors, however, do not have some of the problems the old timers had. Anxious to seek a fast fortune, many of those early prospectors arrived before law and order were established. And they took full advantage of this situation by cheating and robbing each other. But not every one looking for gold in those days was greedy. Some people were generous and helpful. One such person was William Waldo. He established a relief committee that collected money and supplies to help save the lives of countless people who were caught in the mountains by early snowstorms before they even reached California.

(26)

A．Better land.

B．Quick wealth.

C．Modem equipment.

D．Stricter laws.

听力原文： Malls are popular places for Americans to go. Some people spend so much time at malls that they are called "mall rats". Mall rats shop until they drop in the hundreds of stores under one roof.

People like malls for many reasons. They feel safe because malls have police stations of private security guards. Parking is usually free, and the weather inside is always fine. The newest malls have beautiful rest areas with waterfalls and large green trees.

The largest mall in the United States is the Mall of America in Minnesota. It covers 4.2 million square feet. It has 350 stores, eight night clubs, and a seven-acre park! There are parking spaces for 2,750 cars. About 750,000 people shop there every week.

The first indoor mall in the United States was built in 1965 in Edina, Minnesota. People like doing all their shopping in one place. More malls were built around the country. Now, malls are like town centers where people come to do many things, they shop, of course, they also eat in food courts that have food from all over the world. They see movies at theatres. Some people even get their daily exercise by doing the new sport of "mall walking". Others go to malls to meet friends.

In some malls, people can see a doctor or a dentist and even attend church. In other words, people can do just about everything in malls. Now residents can actually live in their favorite shopping center.

(33)

A．One spends so much time at malls.

B．One steals at malls.

C．One sees dentists at malls.

D．One eats a lot at malls.

听力原文： Despite the fact that healthy eating has more publicity than ever before, the sales of chocolate continue to rise.

But why do we like it so much？ It's not enough to answer: "Because it tastes nice." So do other foods. But do you know any other food which some people have to keep closed until their guests arrive？ They know that if they open the chocolate on their own, they'll probably go on eating until they feel slightly ill. And it isn't just the sugar that people like. In the 17th century, when chocolate first arrived here as a drink, people did not put sugar in it because sugar was too expensive.

"Comfort" is a good word to explain why chocolate is more than just another food. It makes people feel safe.

"After a busy day, I like to sit and listen to the radio with a cup of tea and a bar of chocolate."

One answer is that, like coffee, cola and tea, chocolate contains the stimulants. This could explain why it is so difficult to stop eating chocolate once you've started. Some people even fear that they won't be able to atop, and this makes them literally afraid of chocolate.

(33)

A．Because it is better than other foods.

B．Because it tastes good.

C．Because it provides comfort and pleasure.

D．Because it serves as a special food for guests.

听力原文： In the United States, many people once lived in large two-or three-story homes. Today, many people would like to live in such houses, but usually they cannot. They don't have enough money to buy them, even to make the first payment. So many people rent from month to month. But some Americans really want to live in a house of their own. So they build their own houses, or they buy a house that is situated in the area where houses are cheaper. It is better to live in the bad part of town, they say, than not to live in a house at all. They can also buy an old house and redesign it; then they decorate it with old style. furniture. Sometimes they can make the house more beautiful than a new one. Usually it is not difficult for people to find an old home to buy. Many old people decide they don't need a big home after their children leave. So they sell their house, and move into a comfortable apartment.

But when people move into a house, they sometimes have problems. Homeowners have to do their own maintenance. For example, if the roof leaks, one cannot ask the landlord to fix it. On the other hand, people can redesign their houses in any way they want without having to be afraid of being thrown out by the landlord.

(26)

A．Because they prefer small and comfortable houses.

B．Because they want to build their own apartments.

C．Because such houses are always in the bad part of town.

D．Because they cannot afford them.

听力原文：I read in the newspaper the other day that we tell between two hundred and three

听力原文： I read in the newspaper the other day that we tell between two hundred and three hundred lies every day. It makes me wonder if honesty is still important.

There are so many times when we just seem to expect people to be dishonest rather than honest. We expect individuals to try to take advantage of other people whenever they can. And we sometimes expect politicians not always to be honest in their dealings. And we even expect students, sometimes, to cheat on exams or to do things to help their scores. I wonder that if it's really fair to these people, because I still think there are honest people.

The other day a very good friend of mine and I were in a restaurant. When the cashier gave him back his money after we got out of the restaurant, he realized that he had ten or fifteen dollars more than he was supposed to have. He didn't even hesitate at all. He went right back in and gave it back, and of course, the cashier was very happy.

But, I was pleasantly surprised, because it means that there really are people running around who are honest.

(30)

A．Between one hundred and three hundred~

B．Between two hundred and four hundred.

C．Between two hundred and three hundred.

D．Between one hundred and two hundred.
