听力原文：The Revolution resulting in America was the most significant event in American hi

听力原文： The Revolution resulting in America was the most significant event in American history. This country would not be here without it. The Revolution led to the making of the American Constitution. The constitution set up a basis upon which the most powerful nation in the world would grow. The Civil War is also one of the most influential events that helped to shape the United Slates. The division of the industrial North and slave-owning South resulted in the Civil War. If the South had won, the entire nation right now would be completely different. Half of our population would not have its freedom. No black person would ever have a high position in the government, such as mayor. Every single person's life would be completely different had the Civil War never occurred.

Time Magazine listed the one hundred most important events in American History. They included going to the moon, Watergate, World War Two, AIDS, the Industrial Revolution, and so on. However, at the very top of their list as number one was the atomic bomb. Some people agree with this, while others disagree. Some say that the bombing of Hiroshima was the most influential event in American History. Having this military power established the United States as the leading world country. Hiroshima ended World War Two and appointed America as the most powerful country on the entire earth; however, it leads to severe problems in the future. If there ever is a World War Three, no living thing on this earth would survive. As for now, some people believe that America is the leading country because of its advantage at the end of World War Two.

听力原文：The agricultural revolution in the 19th century involved two things: the inventio

听力原文： The agricultural revolution in the 19th century involved two things: the invention of labor-saving machinery and the development of scientific agriculture. Labor-saving machinery naturally appeared first where labor was scarce. "In Europe." said Thomas Jefferson, "the object is to make the most of their land, labor being rich enough; here it is to make the most of our labor, land being rich enough." It was in the United States, therefore, that the great advances in nineteenth-century agricultural machinery first came.

At the opening of the century, with the exception of crude equipment, farmers could have carried practically all of the existing agricultural implements on their backs; by 1860, most of the machinery in use today had been designed in an early form. The most important of the inventions was the iron plow. As early as 1790 Charles Newbold of New Jersey had been working on the idea of a cast-iron plow andspent his entire fortune in introducing his invention. The farmers, however, were not interested in it, believing that the iron poisoned the soil and made the weeds row. Nevertheless, many people devoted their attention to the plow, until in 1869 James Oliver of South Bend, Indiana turned out the first steel plow.

(33)

A．The invention of machine that can save labor and the progress of scientific agriculture.

B．The invention of crude equipments and agricultural implements.

C．The advance of agriculture machinery and the iron plow.

D．The idea of a cast-iron plow and steel plow.

听力原文：Started in 1636, Harvard University is the oldest of all the colleges and univers

听力原文： Started in 1636, Harvard University is the oldest of all the colleges and universities in the United States. Yale, Princeton, and Dartmouth were opened soon after Harvard. They were all started before the American Revolution made the thirteen colonies into states.

In the early years, these schools were much alike. Only young men attended college. All the students studied the same subjects and everyone learned Latin and Greek. Little was known about science then, and one kind of school could teach everything that was known about the world. When the students graduated, most of them became ministers or teachers.

In 1782, Harvard started a medical school for young men who wanted to become doctors. Later, lawyers could receive their training in Harvard Law School. In 1825, Harvard began teaching modem languages, such as French and German, as well as Latin and Greek. Soon it began teaching American history.

As knowledge increased, Harvard and other colleges began to teach many new subjects. Students were allowed to choose the subjects that interested them.

Special colleges for women were started. New state universities began to teach such subjects as farming, engineering and business. Today, there are many different kinds of colleges and universities. Most of them are divided into smaller schools that deal with special fields of learning. There is so much to learn that one kind of school cannot offer it all.

(30)

A．How to start a university.

B．How colleges have changed in America.

C．The American Revolution.

D．The world famous colleges in America.

听力原文：We are rapidly nearing the end of this course in history of classical music.We ha

ve covered several centuries in a very short time. Much too short to do the music justice, of course, but then this is a survey course. From now until the end of this term, we will be talking about and listening to electronic music.You probably already know that it was in the 1950s that musical computers and synthesizers first appeared in universities. The first commercial synthesizers were sold about this time, too. The sophistication and complexity of these instruments has now increased to the point that they can produce almost any kind of sound.Some alarmists believe these new instruments will bring an end to classical music or that they already have. You know I don't share this view, though I agree we are in the midst of revolution in instrument design. This, however, is not the first such revolution in musical history and probably not the last one either. Remember we've already studied the similar case in the early 19th century when the piano replaced the harpsichord and modern brass and wind instruments came into being. One of the most important reasons for the great popularity of electronic instruments is, of course, their relatively low price. Well, just look at it, only about 400 dollars for a piano. Naturally this has done a lot to increase sales for electronic instruments, expecting them to completely replace acoustic instruments.

What is the speaker's main topic？

A．The replacement of the harpsichord by the piano.

B．The development of electronic musical instruments.

C．The relative costs of different types of musical instruments.

D．The performance of classical music on synthesizers.

听力原文：Ludwig Van Beethoven was born in Bonn in 1770. Beethoven's first lessons for pian

听力原文： Ludwig Van Beethoven was born in Bonn in 1770. Beethoven's first lessons for piano and violin were from his father. He also studied with Haydon. In 1792 Beethoven came to Vienna, where he decided to stay and try to make a career for himself. In summer months he liked to spend as much time as possible away from the bustle of Vienna. He enjoyed his stays in villages around the city. He liked the peaceful and simple life of the countryside. It was there that he composed both the Fifth and Sixth Symphonies.

Beethoven sympathized with republican ideas. He took great interest in the French Revolution and the birth of the French Republic. He admired its leader, Napoleon, and intended to dedicate his Third or Eroica Symphony to him. However when he was told that Napoleon had crowned himself emperor, the composer was disgusted and changed his mind.

As 1809 drew to its close, Beethoven produced several major works. In May 1809 Haydon died. There was no one to challenge Beethoven to be the musical king of Vienna. At the end of 1813, the Seventh Symphony was performed for the first time.

Beethoven's last years were marked by illness on the one hand and monumental masterpieces on the other. His deafness made it impossible to conduct his works or even perform. any more. Between 1819 and 1823 he composed his Ninth Symphony and some more piano sonatas. Those, together with the late string quartets, were the last works from this great man.

(26)

A．In Bonn.

B．In Vienna.

C．In France..

D．In Haarlem.

M: Yeah, I'm going to talk about robots.

W: Robots？ You mean, those machines that walk and talk like in the movies？

M: No, industrial robots, like those used in auto and electronic industries.

W: Come to think of it, I saw an article about that kind of robot the other day. There were pictures of robots joining cars, but they certainly didn't look the way I thought robot should look.

M: The robots we usually imagine are made up in science fictions. In industry robots are designed to do a specific set of operations, such as joining car frames. They are rarely built to resemble humans.

W: Actually, all they need is a kind of brain to give signals, and a mechanical appliance such as an arm to carry out instructions, right？

M: Right ! Tiny computers become the brains of these robots. The computers send signals in the form. of electrical signals that move an arm and something like our fingers. Those fingers do particular kinds of work.

W: OK. But we have had machines on the assembly line doing work for people for years. That's what started the Industrial Revolution, remember？

M: But each of those machines can only perform. a single operation and it takes months to modify them. The new industrial robots can do a number of tasks and it's easy to reprogram them to perform. totally different operations. That's one reason why they're becoming so popular.

W: They increase productivity too, don't they？ Even though they are still quite expensive, I imagine robots will be used more and more.

听力原文：The young man was a French nobleman, the son of one of the richest and most impor

听力原文： The young man was a French nobleman, the son of one of the richest and most important families of France. He had heard about the revolution taking place in America. He wanted to go and help.

He was only eighteen years old. He was tall, handsome, and a familiar figure in the high society of Paris. His family tried to stop him. They asked the King of France to throw him into jail in order to stop him. But the young nobleman had already bought his ship and gathered some young friends to go with him. He escaped and came to America. The young man was the Marquis de Lafayette.

Upon his arrival, he discovered that no one knew him here. He had been promised that he would be an officer in the American army, but Congress said that it wanted no more foreign officers. Lafayette sat down and cried. He could not go back to France. Instead, he offered to serve as a volunteer— without pay. Congress accepted. Later Lafayette met Washington. A great affection grew up between the two men, as between father and son. Lafayette became Washington's personal aide.

Once toward the end of the war, the men under Lafayette's command were all in rags. Lafayette asked Congress for new uniforms. Congress had no money with which to buy uniforms. Using his own personal credit, Lafayette went to the merchants of Baltimore and, at his own expense, bought a new uniform. for each man —two thousand in all. In this way, his men were able to go on fighting.

听力原文：M: I'm doing some research into the French revolution.

W: Oh, I did some on that last year.

M: Why do you think I'm here! Could you suggest some interesting and useful sources？

W: Sure. I found Voices from the French Revolution by Henri Le Brun to be very useful, as well as extremely interesting and well written.

M: What makes it so good？

W: Well, he took extracts from diaries kept by people involved in the revolution. They really give you an idea of how it felt to live in France during that time.

M: It sounds great. Why haven't I heard of it before？

W: Well, it's only just been translated from the French original and none of the professors have added it to their booklists yet. I used the French version and translated pages myself.

M: I see. I have been told that The French Revolution by Victoria Jones is useful.

W: I didn't find it very useful. I mean, there was nothing in it that you can't find elsewhere. On the other hand, it's cheap, because it's available in paperback, and you can buy it at many bookshops.

M: What about using resources available on the Internet？

W: I used the Internet for my research, but I didn't find it very helpful. Many of the websites were too small to contain much detailed information. Others provided links to other websites, but I found myself spending a lot of time following links and not finding much information.

M: Yes, I've run across that problem myself.

W: You could try the new edition of William Wright's book. It has the same title as Victoria Jones' book. It only came out a couple of months ago and I haven't seen a copy yet. A lot of it has been rewritten or consists of additional material recently found in French archives.

M: Thanks for your help. I'll go to the bookshop and see if I can find the books you've recommended.

W: When does your research have to be completed by？

M: Well, the essay is due in six weeks, so I'll try to finish the research in four, giving me two to write the essay.

W: Good luck!

(23)

A．It's interesting.

B．It's French.

C．It's well written.

D．It's a useful source.
