A public house which was recently bought by Mr. James is up for sale.He is going to sell it because it is haunted (闹鬼的). He told me that he could not go to sleep one night because he heard a strange noise coming from the bar. The next morning, he found that the doors had been blockedby chairs and the furniture had been moved. Though Mr. James had turned the lights off before he went to bed, they were on in the morning.

He also said that he had found five empty whisky bottles which the ghost(鬼) must have drunk the night before. When I suggested that some villagers must have come in for a free drink, he shook his head. The villagers have told him that they will not accept it even if he gives it away.

Art Without Limit

Art should not be limited to a museum. " Art and creative elements （创造性元素) can be mixed into daily life." said Professor Cheng of the Fine Arts Department.

Public art can be seen as a realization of Professor Cheng' s words above. It is simply artwork presented in the public space， where one could walk by any day. Connie Yu， a businesswoman，

likes the idea of public art. "I like the idea of bringing afl to people， rather than people to art. " However， the idea of public art is not very well developed in Hong Kong. A walk through the central area only presents one with a limited number of public art pieces. Most of them seem to be more for the purpose of decoration (装饰) than presenting art to the public. Also， people do not pay much attention to them.

Alex Chan， a 34-year-old Hong Kong artist， said， "Public art is a great way to express your-self as an artist， to give something to people who don ' t normally go to the museums，and to give them a break from their daily life. It is just a shame that it' s not so common in Hong Kong. "

听力原文： Cars are an important part of life in the United States. (29) Without a car most people feel that they are poor. And even if a person is poor he doesn't feel really poor when he has a car. The car made the United States a nation on wheels. And it helped make the United States what it is today. There are three reasons the car became so popular in the United States. First of all the country is a huge one and Americans like to move around in it. The car provides the most comfortable and cheapest form. of transportation. With a car people can go any place without spending a lot of money. The second reason that cars are popular is the fact that the United States never really developed an efficient and inexpensive form. of public transportation. Long-distance trains have never been as common in the United States as they are in other parts of the world. Nowadays there is a good system of air-service provided by planes. But it is too expensive to be used frequently. (30) The third reason is the most important one, though. The American spirit of independence is what really made cars popular. Americans don't like to wait for a bus, or a train or even a plane. They don't like to have to follow an exact schedule. A car gives them the freedom to schedule their own time. And this is the freedom that Americans want most to have. (31) The gas shortage has caused a big problem for Americans. But the answer will not be a bigger system of public transportation. The real solution will have to be a new kind of car, which does not use so much gas.

(30)

A．When they don't have a car.

B．When they live in a huge country.

C．When they don't use planes.

D．when they have a car.

n you look at the media it's only too easy to see what they mean. A dictionary definition of the media is mass communication, e.g. the press, television, radio. The media sees its main purpose as giving the public news. Naturally to provide the public with news, the media has first to gather it. The whole function and purpose of the media, then, seems to depend on the word "news", but more important, on how the word is interpreted.

The media like any big business venture today is an extremely competitive world of its own. In providing material for its public it has constantly to make sure it serves the right diet. No public will waste time on your paper or your TV channel otherwise. The sad truth is that there seems only one way to catch an audience—hit them right between the eyes. What started as a mild tap has now become a sledgehammer blow that goes by the name of sensationalism.

A reporter chooses—has to choose—a news story because of its sensation value. The young inexperienced cub reporter rings his editor about a car crash. He starts to explain the details to him but the experienced editor asks the cub one question: "Anyone killed？" and to himself he thinks, why do we offer jobs to children？

One may accuse newsman of cynicism but they will quickly remind you of the hard facts of survival in the world of the media. The favorite words the newspaper placards in the streets bombard the public with are, "Surprise, Sensation, Drama, Shock". You wonder, when the papers batter the public with dramas and sensations day after day, that they haven't put an end to sensation long ago. As a regular newspaper reader you also thank Heavens for the light relief of the strips. Turn finally from them to what is referred to laughingly as "steam radio", in order to show its relative antiquity. This for many millions of people is the only live contact they have with the outside world that tightly or wrongly they have been led to believe they should have contact with. It's extremely hard of course to see why, when for the most part its news services bring them tragedy, disaster, heartbreak, other people's misfortunes—in a word, trouble. What again becomes quickly apparent is that a man's job depends on sensationalism, and we are asked to excuse him for this.

Perhaps the media hasn't quite grown up and we should congratulate it on getting this far. The year 2000 may see great changes in the way news is presented to us. Again, who knows, it might even get worse—if such a thing is possible. Perish the thought!

According to the passage which is most important？

A．The media's purpose.

B．The news itself.

C．What is thought of as news.

D．The gathering of news.

•Read the following passage about traffic.

•Are the sentences 16-22 "Right" or "Wrong"？ If there isn't enough information to answer "Right" or "Wrong", choose "Doesn't say".

•For each sentence, mark one letter (A, B or C) on your Answer Sheet.

Too many cars？

Everyone agrees that there are simply too many cars on the road but who will be the first to stop using theirs？ Although everyone hates being stuck in traffic, no one sees their cars as part of the growing problem. However, with traffic growth up to 84 per cent expected by 2025 and the ever-increasing cost of accidents and delays already at $160 bn in Europe, there is a growing need to change our 'culture' and develop alternative forms of transport as quickly as possible.

One answer is to make cars more expensive by increasing taxes on petrol. However, tax increases will affect the people who live in the country more than city drivers and do little to reduce inner city traffic. The Government is also looking at pay-as-you-drive schemes on motorways but this will push cars on to smaller 'free' roads, which will make the problem worse,

A successful transport policy is not just a question of making the car too expensive but of offering car drivers a real alternative. Many motorists dislike driving to work but say public transport services are too slow, offer poor quality and are tar too expensive. If new transport policies are to succeed, public transport needs to be quick, reliable and affordable.

Transport planners are also developing ways of managing the existing road network more efficiently. New technology such as smart cards and electronic monitoring of roads will lead to a more efficient use of transport systems. However, technology will not reduce the number of cars on the road or solve the real problem of how to persuade car drivers to leave their beloved cars at home more often.

Pay-as-you-drive schemes will reduce the amount of traffic on motorways.

A．Right

B．Wrong

C．Doesn't say
