第1题
听力原文： My daughter and I had been searching for the origins of my grandfather, Alfred Denny, for several years. We had nothing definite except that he married Minerva Ann Hamilton in Michigan in 1860.
When I was a small child, my father had given me the address of his "Aunt Maggie," Mrs. William Rarick of Everson, Washington. She and I exchanged letters for about three years while I was still a youngster. My father died without giving any further information about his relatives.
About eighty-five years after my correspondence with Aunt Maggie, I decided to see if I could pick up the trail and find out exactly how she fit into the family puzzle. By then I was in my nineties so I knew the odds were not on my side, but I called the telephone operator for a number of anybody by the name of Rarick in the town of Everson, Washington. She told me they have a Charles Rarick and an L. Rarick. I asked her to ring Charles, but there was no answer so I asked her to try L. Rarick.
A woman answered and I said, "Hello, this is Carleton Denny. I am trying to locate relatives of Margaret Rarick."
The lady on the telephone took a long breath and hesitantly said, "She was my grandmother."
I learned that Aunt Maggie was my grandfather's half sister. The "L" stood for Luella, who still used her maiden name. I had found my family.
Where and when was my grandfather married？
A．In Washington in 1885.
B．In Washington in 1860.
C．In Michigan in 1885.
D．In Michigan in 1860.

听力原文： After the death of my grandfather, I got the genealogy bug. It started with the gathering of family photos and progressed to writing a family history. Several years ago, I took another step and began creating a Website for the Stovalls. During this initiative, I also pursued the Wallace, Cox, Raney, and other related family lines.
One day I received an email about the Wallace line from a fellow named Ron Ritchie. Although I lived in Birmingham, Alabama, and he lived in Dallas, Texas, he had some Wallaces from the same area from which mine originated. We corresponded several times, after which he passed the baton to his daughter, Connie. She emailed me, and after six months or so, we reached the conclusion that we were not related.
With no more data to work on, we chatted about other interests and one thing led to another. The end result？ This shy Alabama-born boy found himself flying to Dallas to meet a girl. During several subsequent trips, we explored the sights, met each other's families, and plotted our lives. In December of 1997, my genealogical penpal and I were married. Our search for roots had led instead to a fresh branch on our now combined family tree. I think it's only fair to give our ancestors the credit!
When did I begin my genealogy research？
A．After the death of my father.
B．After the death of my grandfather.
C．After the death of my mother.
D．After the death of my grandmother.

听力原文： My mother was born in a small town in northern Italy. She was three when her parents immigrated to America in 1926. They lived in Chicago when my grandfather worked making ice cream. Mama thrived in the urban environment. At 16, she graduated first in her high school class, went onto secretarial school, and finally worked as an executive secretary for a railroad company. She was beautiful too. When a local photographer used her pictures in his monthly window display, she felt pleased. Her favorite portrait showed her sitting by Lake Michigan, her hair went blown, her gaze reaching toward the horizon. My parents were married in 1944. Dad was a quiet and intelligent man. He was 17 when he left Italy. Soon after, a hit-and-run accident left him with a permanent limp. Dad worked hard selling candy to Chicago office workers on their break. He had little formal schooling. His English was serf-taught. Yet he eventually built a small successful wholesale candy business. Dad was generous and handsome. Mama was devoted to him. After she married, my mother quit her job and gave herself to her family. In 1950, with three small children, dad moved the family to a farm 40 miles from Chicago. He worked land and commuted to the city to run his business. Mama said goodbye to her parents and friends, and traded her busy city neighborhood for a more isolated life. But she never complained.

A．She was born in a small town in southern Italy.
B．They immigrated to America in 1962.
C．They lived in Chicago.
D．At 18, she graduated first in her high school class.
