听力原文: Mike Wilson worked as a low rank official in the War Office during the early 1940s. Though he didn't bold an important position, he got along very well with almost everybody, and was believed in by most of his leaders.
One day, Wilson arrived at his office in an expensive car. Little as his pay was, he appeared to have got a lot of money to spend. he bought an expensive house and gave parties one after another. At one of the parties he met a beautiful woman and fell in love with her. When he was asked by the woman one evening how he had suddenly got so much money to spend, Wilson explained that he had a very rich uncle who lived abroad and posted him money nearly every month. But his story could not fool the woman. She was a policewoman and was sent to watch him closely by acting as his "girlfriend", because the police had noticed that he often stayed behind in the evenings and was usually the last person to leave the War Office.
His "girlfriend" and three other policemen entered his house when he was out and discovered copies of government secret papers and a radio transmitter hidden inside a piano. After Wilson was caught, it was learned that his real name was Jack Brown, and that he had been hired as a spy for the Germans.

听力原文: I was 9 years old when I found out my father was ill. It was 1994, but I can remember my mother's words as if it were yesterday: "Carol, I don't want you to take food from your father, because he has AIDS. Be very careful when you are around him."
AIDS wasn't something we talked about in my country when I was growing up. From then on, I knew that this would be a family secret. My parents were not together anymore, and my dad lived alone. For a while, he could take care of himself. But when I was 12, his condition worsened. My father's other children lived far away, so it fell to me to look after him.
We couldn't afford all the necessary medication for him, and because Dad was unable to work, I had no money for school supplies and often couldn't even buy food for dinner. I would sit in class feeling completely lost, the teacher's words were drowned as I tried to figure out how I was going to manage.
I did not share my burden with anyone. I had seen how people reacted to AIDS. Kids laughed at classmates who had parents with the disease. And even adults could be cruel. When my father was moved to the hospital, the nurses would leave his food on the bedside table even though he was too weak to feed himself.
I had known that he was going to die, but after so many years of keeping his condition a secret, I was completely unprepared when he reached his final days. Sad and hopeless. I called a woman at the nonprofit National AIDS Support. That day, she kept me on the phone for hours. I was so lucky to find someone who cared. She saved my life.
I was 15 when my father died. He took his secret away with him, having never spoken about AIDS to anyone, even me. He didn't want to call attention to AIDS. I do.

A.He told no one about his disease.
B.He worked hard to pay for his medication.
C.He depended on the nurses in his final days.
D.He had stayed in the hospital since he fell ill.

I had to learn to say “please”, “sorry”, “thank you”, whether I felt it or not. Once, while buying a ticket to Waterloo, I forgot to say “please”. The man at the counter was offended and would not give me the ticket until I had said “please”. When he handed me the ticket, he said “sorry”, and hurried inside to take the only empty seat.
On the way to the office one morning, a man collapsed in my compartment. At Waterloo, everybody left, but I stayed with him until the ambulance arrived and was an hour late getting to the office. I was told that it was not my job to look after strangers.
I found that many did not even look after their own parents who were old and helpless. In India, it is the duty of the children to look after their parent and old relatives. While serving a meal, my mother always gave food to the elderly relatives and children first and ate whatever was left over. The elderly never felt isolated. They lived with their families and contributed to the happiness of the house.

The First Settlement in North America
It is very difficult to say that when colonization began. The first hundred years after Christopher Columbus's journey of discovery in 1492 did not produce any settlement on the North American continent but rather some Spanish trading posts further south, a great interest in gold and adventure, and some colorful crimes in which the English had their part. John Cabot, originally from Genoa but a citizen of Venice, was established as a trader in Bristol, England, when he made a journey in 1497. But his ship, the Matthew, with its crew of eighteen, did no more than see an island (probably off the New England coast) and return home. He and his son made further voyages across the north Atlantic, which enabled the English Crown to claim a "legal" title to North America.But for a long time afterwards the Europeans' interest in America was mainly confined to the Spanish activities further south.
The first beginning of permanent settlement in North America was nearly a hundred years after Columbus's first voyage. The Englishman Sir Walter Raleigh claimed the whole of North America for England, calling it Virginia.In 1585 he sent a small group of people wh9 landed in Roanoke Island, but they stayed only for a year and then went back to England with another expedition, led by Drake, in 1587. A second group who landed in 1587 had all disappeared when a further expedition arrived in 1590.
The first permanent settlement in North America was in 1607. English capitalists founded two Virginia companies, a southern one based in London and a northern one based in Bristol. It was decided to give the name New England to the northern are.The first settlers in Virginia were little more than wage slaves to the company. All were men and the experiment was not very successful. Many died.Those who survived lived in miserable conditions. By 1619 the colony had only a thousand people.
第 16 题 We know for sure that colonization began at the end of the 15th century.
A.Right
B.Wrong
C.Not mentioned
