听力原文： Arthur Miller(1915-2005)is universally recognised as one of the greatest dramatists of the 20th century. Millers father had moved to the USA from Austria Hungary, drawn like so many others by the "Great American Dream". However, he experienced severe financial hardship when his family business was ruined in the Great Depression of the early 1930s. Millerss most famous play, Death of a Salesman, is a powerful attack on the American system, with its aggressive way of doing business and its insistence on money and social status as indicators of worth. In Willy Loman, the hero of the play, we see a man who has got into trouble with his worth. Willy is "burnt out" and in the cruel world of business there is no room for sentiment: if he cant do the work, then he is no good to his employer, the Wagner Company, and he must go. Willy is painfully aware of this, and at loss as to what to do with his lack of success. He refuses to face the fact that he has failed and kills himself in the end. When it was first staged in 1949, the play was greeted with enthusiastic reviews, and it won the Tony Award for Best Play, the New York Drama Critics Circle Award, and the Pulitzer Prize for a Drama. It was the first play to win all three of these major awards. Miller died of heart failure at his home in Roxbury, Connecticut, on the evening of February 10, 2005, the 56th anniversary of the first performance of Death of a Salesman on Broadway. Questions 22 to 25 are based on the passage you have just heard. 22. Why did Arthur Millers father move to the USA？ 23. What does the speaker say about the play Death of a Salesman？ 24. What do we learn about Death of a Salesman after it was first staged？ 25. What is the passage mainly about？23．
A．It focuses on the skills in doing business.
B．It talks about the business career of Arthur Miller.
C．It discusses the ways to get promoted in a company.
D．It exposes the cruelty of the American business world.

听力原文： One winter day in 1891 a class at a training school in Massachusetts U. S. A. , went into the gym for their daily exercises. Since the football season had ended, most of the young men felt they were in for a boring time. But their teacher, James Nesmith had other ideas. He had been working for a long time on a new game that would have the excitement of American football. Nesmith showed the men a basket he had hung at each end of the gym and explained that they were going to use a round European football. At first everybody tried to throw the ball into the basket no matter where he was standing. "Pass! Pass!" Nesmith kept shouting, blowing his whistle to stop the excited players. Slowly they began to understand what was wanted of them.
The problem with the new game, which was soon called basketball, was getting the ball out of the basket. They used ordinary food baskets with bottoms and the ball of course stayed inside. At first someone had to climb up every time a basket was scored. It was several years before someone came up with the idea of removing the bottom of the basket and letting the ball fall through. There have been many changes in the rules since then and basketball has become one of the world's most popular sports.

B．He trained them to play European football.
C．He let them compete in getting balls out of a basket.

听力原文： Wilt Chamberlain is retired now. He used to be a famous basketball player. He has set 65 different records, and still holds many of them. During the final years of his career, he drew a large salary and became very wealthy. He even built himself a 1.5 million dollars' house. Yet, despite his personal success, he led his team to only one championship. His team often won enough games to qualify for the final rounds, but they almost always lost in the finals. As a result, Wilt became determined to win one more championship before he retired.
In 1972, while Wilt was playing against a New York team, he fell down and hit his wrist on the floor. He felt pain immediately and knew he had hurt himself badly. When a doctor examined Wilt, the doctor confirmed Wilt' s fear. The doctor told Wilt that he had broken a bone in the wrist and that he could not play any longer.
Wilt didn' t listen to his doctor' s advice. The next night, with his many fans watching in surprise, he not only played the entire game, but he was outstanding. His team won the game and the championship. Wilt had realized his dream--to be a winner one last time.

A．Because he set as many as sixty-five different records.
B．Because he led his team to many championships.
C．Because he still played the game after he retired.
