Sir Humphrey Gilbert led the first English settlement efforts but failed. Gilbert's half brother Sir Walter Raleigh continued his work. Raleigh sent a number of ships to explore the east coast of North America. He called the land Virginia to honor England's unmarried Queen Elizabeth.
In 1585 .about one-hundred men settled on Roanoke Island, off the coast of the present day state of North Carolina. These. settlers returned to England a year later. Another group went there the next year. This group included many women and children. But the supply ships Raleigh sent to the colony failed to arrive. When help got there in 1590, none of the settlers could be found.
History experts still are not sure what happened. Some research suggests that at least some of the settlers became part of the Indian tribe that lived iii the area.
One reason for the delay in getting supplies to Roanoke was the attack of the Spanish Navy against England in 1588. King Phillip of Spain had decided to invade England. But the small English ships combined with a fierce storm defeated the huge Spanish fleet. As a result, Spain was no longer able to block English exploration.
England discovered that supporting colonies so far away was extremely costly. So Queen Elizabeth took no more action to do this. It was not until after her death in 1603 that England began serious efforts to start colonies in America.
(30)
A.To celebrate Queen Elizabeth's birthday.
B.To show respect for Queen Elizabeth.
C.To honor his half brother Sir Humphrey Gilbert.
D.To make the name of land sound more beautiful.

There are two main types of housing for you to choose from: student dorms and the international houses. As for now, there is some space available in each type, but they are filling up fast. You should get your application in as soon as possible. Let me explain some of the main features of each type of housing.
The student dorms are for any student. We have men's dorms and women's dorms. Most of the rooms have two beds, two closets, and two desks. There are no cooking facilities in the dorms, but you can buy a meal ticket for the cafeteria.
The international houses are a group of apartments for both foreign students and resident students. They are organized into language and culture themes, and some of them have rules about speaking only a certain language during meal times. It's been a good way for students to learn other cultures and languages. I think that the Spanish house is full, but there are rooms available in all the other houses.
Who is the speaker probably speaking to?
A.New students.
B.Foreign students.
C.Resident students.
D.Faculty.

听力原文: Top officials in city, state and the federal governments are elected to office by the people. They run for office every two or four years and elections are held in the first week of November. People who run for elections are called politicians. Many of them are lawyers. Successful politicians are often famous and important people in their communities. Young lawyers who are interested in politics, often join political clubs when they graduate from law schools. As club members, they help older politicians get elected. (33)The real purpose is when they have had enough experience and support, they run for office themselves. Before elections, political candidates always have a tight schedule. They have frequent meetings with their supporters and discuss details about their elections. (34)But most of their time is spent on campaigning, shaking hands and making speeches to the public. There are different groups of voters that politicians try to win support from. Most large cities have black and Spanish speaking communities who elect powerful politicians. Some politicians appeal to businessmen while other appeal to laborers. Many politicians run for office by taking sides on important issues, such as balancing government budget. Getting equal rights for women, fighting corruption and creating job opportunities. (35)Once politicians win elections, their futures depend on how well they do their jobs and how well the people hear of the work they are doing.
(34)
A.To help older politicians get elected.
B.To practice their law knowledge.
C.To prepare for their own future elections.
D.To find a job in the political club.
