听力原文： The wage gap is a statistical indicator often used as an index of the status of women's earnings relative to men's. It is also used to compare the earnings of other races and ethnicities to those of white males, a group generally not subject to race—or sex—based discrimination. The wage gap is expressed as a percentage(e.g., in 2003, women earned 76% as much as men) and is calculated by dividing the median annual earnings for women by the median annum earnings for men.
The Equal Pay Act was signed in 1963, making it illegal for employers to pay unequal wages to men and women who hold the same job and do the same work. At the time of the EPA's passage, women earned just 58 cents for every dollar earned by men. By 2003, 40 years later, that rate had only increased to 76 cents, an improvement of less than half a penny a year. Minority women fare the worst. African-American women earn just 65 cents to every dollar earned by white men, and for Hispanic women that figure drops to merely 54 cents per dollar.
If working women earned the same as men(those who work the same number of hours; have the same education, age, and union status; and live in the same region of the country), their annual family incomes would rise by $4,000 and poverty rates would be cut in half.

A．Males.
B．Ethnic males.
C．White males.
D．Women.

听力原文： The farm economy of the United States has changed a lot in tile last seventy years. In the 1930s, 25 percent of the nation's population lived on farms (32) . Today less than one percent of Americans do.
Farm incomes have changed over the years too. For example, in 1933, people living and working on farms had much less money to spend than other Americans. At that time, farm families had about one-third the income of non-farmers after all necessary expenses had been paid. By the late 1970s, however, that difference had almost disappeared (33) .
In 2004, farmers had their best year ever. The United States Department of Agriculture says the average farm family earned about 81,000 dollars. That is more than the average American family, which earned about 60,000 dollars. Yet these numbers do not completely explain the situation for all farmer.. Those who have small farms often take other jobs to earn extra income. And farm earnings for large farms grew faster than for small ones (34) .
The Department of Labor measures the pay of industrial workers differently. It measures the average hourly and weekly pay for industrial workers. This is because factory workers are generally paid by the hour unlike farmers who earn income from their farm businesses. Industrial workers are about 23 percent of the labor force. But that number has been decreasing (35) . Most Americans have jobs that provide services. Professional technical and other services employ about 76 percent of the labor force.
(33)
A．About 25 percent of the population.
B．Less than 23 percent of the population.
C．About 76 percent of the population.
D．Less than 1 percent of the population.

[35] Well, in the future, one witness will say it was red and the other will say it was blue. Mr. Tsui will then say to the judge, 'Your honor, the witnesses cannot even agree on the color of the ear involved in the accident. ' And the judge will have to dismiss the case against me. "

听力原文： The world's smartest adolescence in mathematics and science are Singapore, according to a global survey of educational achievement. In the 3rd International Mathematics and Science Study, 13yearolds from Singapore achieved the best scores in standardized tests d math and science that were administered to 287,896 students in 41 countries in 1994 and 1995. The survey suggests that science and math education is especially strong in the Far East. While well behind those top scores, students from Australia earned higher marks in math than their counterparts in England, who in turn did better than American students. The study collected information on the students' teachers and homes. Not surprisingly, the highestscoring students had walleducated parents or came from homes containing studyaids such as computers, dictionaries or even such elementry facilities as desks. The study shows that boys generally did better than girls in science, but there was little difference between them in math. Boys scored better than girls in physics and chemistry. There were no sex differences in the life and environmental sciences. In addition to being tested, students in the project were asked how proficient they thought they were in math and .science. Students in some countries, such as Columbia and Kuwait, had an overly optimistic view of their skills. Meanwhile, some of the beat students from Japan and Korea for example were needlessly pessimistic even though they did far better in math than almost all of the other students.
