听力原文: The twenty-third Olympic Games, held in Los Angeles, were very much a contest of mind, muscle, and athletic determination. However, high technology, especially in the computer field, played an increasing role in both the staging of the event and the race for the gold. Computers were used to keep track of schedules, accounts, transportation, and ticketing for more than 43,000 Olympic employees and volunteers.
A sophisticated electronic message system helped to keep the 12,000 or so journalists up-to-date on results—usually within a minute after the judges' decisions were final. Computers and other high-tech tools were also used to train American athletes by analyzing and evaluating performance, identifying weaknesses, and suggesting ways to improve.

B.Approximately 103,000

听力原文: You ask me to explain to you how I find out what is happening? Well, news can be something the authorities want you to know, or something they would rather keep secret. An announcement of a government success, a denial of a failure, or, a secret scandal that nobody really wants you to talk about. If the authorities want to tell the world some good news, they issue statements, communiques, and call press conferences. Or, politicians make speeches. Local newspapers, radio and television help to alert foreign correspondents to what is going on. And by making contacts with local officials, journalists can ask for more information or explanations to help them write their stories. Unless the correspondent is an eyewitness, it's rare to trust any single source. Officials have a policy to defend, opposition politicians want to attack it. Rumor and gossip can also confuse the situation. So, you have to check information as much as possible, using common sense and experience as final checks to help establish just what's likely to be the truth, or close to it.
What is this talk mainly about?
A.Where to find good reporters.
B.How to get news stories.
C.How authorities affect the authenticity of news reports.
D.How to become a good foreign correspondent.

听力原文: More than half of 500 Chinese cities failed to meet national air quality standards last year.
The areas suffered potentially harmful air quality, a survey of 500 cities by the State Environmental Protection Administration (SEPA) claims. And nearly one-third of non-industrial sewage in the cities went untreated. In 193 other cities, no treatment was carded out at all, the report revealed. The findings are likely to cause widespread concern.
As urbanization speeds up in China, it poses increasing pressure on the urban environment, and the Chinese Government has given top priority to environmental protection in cities. But given the latest findings, such protection has yet to yield notable results.
There are 661 cities in China—home to 41.7 percent of the population. They also generate 65.5 percent of the nation's gross domestic product—but all at a huge cost to the environment.
Wang Jirong, vice-minister of the Administration, told journalists in Beijing, "In the past two decades, China has been facing environmental problems which developed countries met with over one century ago."
Making reasonable development plans, building sufficient and effectively operated infrastructure and continuing the improvement of the urban environment are among the recommended measures, SEPA's release said. The Administration started to examine environmental management and improvement in 1989.
According to Wang Yuqing, joint SEPA vice-minister, the number of complaints about environmental problems in China has been growing by 30 percent annually, showing that pollution has a serious impact on the quality of life of the public.
(26)
A.More than 500.
B.More than 250.
C.193.
D.One-third of Chinese cities.

听力原文: The twenty-third Olympic Games were held in Los Angeles and, like every other Olympic Games, they represented a contest of mind, muscle, and athletic determination. The use of high technology, however, showed increasing significance in the staging of the event and helped set an example for staging future events.
Unlike the Olympics of the past, the Olympics are not just a race for gold anymore. They have also become a race for computer technology. Playing the massive event, as any host can tell you, requires a technology plan and organization that brings hundreds of countries together. In the twenty-third Games, for example, computers were used to keep track of schedules, accounts, transportation, and ticketing for more than 43,000 Olympic employees and volunteers. This was not an easy task.
A sophisticated electronic message system, moreover, helped keep the 12,000 or so journalists up-to-date on results. Due to this system, they were able to know about and broadcast to the world the judges' final decisions usually within a minute's time. This message system also allowed traffic controllers to convey traffic reports more efficiently, so that the usually confused Los Angeles highways became easy to navigate. Computers and other high-tech tools were also used to train American athletes by analyzing and evaluating performances. This- computer marvelously assisted the athletes in identifying weaknesses and suggesting ways to improve.
