Part B
Directions :
Read the texts from a magazine article which describes the celebration, of the New Year in, five
places. For questions 61 to 65, match the name of each place (61 t0 65) to one of the statements(A toG)given, below. Mark your answers on ANSWERSHEET 1.
Edinburgh, Scotland
Edinburgh is the home of Hogmanay , a grandly exciting four-day celebration that welcomes the New Year with fire, music, parades and then some more fire. The party starts on Dec.29 with a 15, OOO-strong song-filled candlelight procession and fire festival through Edinburgh and ends with the symbolic burning of a Viking ship. Days of parades, concerts, dog races and fireworks fol-low.
Reykjavik, Iceland
On New Year's Eve, Icelanders in Reykjavik gather around dozens of massive fires in the open to sing traditional folk songs accompanied, according to local legend by imaginary human-like creatures in folk tales. At midnight the city explodes in a massive fireworks display. The dancing and partying that follow last until the sun comes up, which in Iceland is at about lunchtime on Jan. 1.
Kahuitara Point, Chatham Islands
If you want to experience New Year with the early birds, the South Pole is the place to be. On any Jan. 1, the sun sits above the horizon the whole day across most of the South Pole. For a slight-ly more comfortable holiday vacation, head to the Chatham Islands. Kahuitara Point on Pitt Island in this Pacific Ocean chain is the first populated place on the planet to see the sun rise.
Bangkok, Thailand
In Thailand you have three chances to ring in the New Year. On Dec. 31, Western New Year's Eve is celebrated with parties, concerts and fireworks. A few weeks later, the country stages mas-
sive celebrations in honor of Chinese New Year. Finally, on April 13, Thailand celebrates the first
day of the traditional Thai calendar with Songkran, a three-day festival marked by parades, feasts
and water-throwing.
Rio de Janeiro, Brazil
New Year's Eve is one of Rio de Janeiro's most important holidays. Expensive beachfront cele-
brations unfold along Copacabana, attracting some 2 million participants. Liye music ranging from samba to rock explodes along 'the beach. New Year's Eve is also a day to honor the goddess of sea with conventional offerings packed in small wooden boats. Tradition holds that if the goddess is pleased with a boat's offering, she will carry the boat out to sea and give the bearer blessings. If not, it's a great party.
Now match the name of each place(61 to 65)to the appropriate statement.
Note : there are two extra statements.

第2题
听力原文： Reykjavik
A teenager says he convinced the White House he was Iceland's president and managed to schedule a call with George W. Bush but was found out before he got to talk to the U.S. president.
"My call was transferred around a few times until I got hold of Bush's secretary and managed to book a call meeting with Bush the following Monday evening," Vifill Atlason, 16, told the reporters.
The teenager posed as Icelandic President Olafur Ragnar Grimsson when he made the call on Dec 1.
Icelandic police turned up at his door two days later—the day of the planned call—and took him in for questioning.
The teenager said he was unable to recall where he discovered the telephone number for the White House.
At a White House news conference Monday, Bush spokeswoman Dana Perino said her understanding was that Atlason had called a public line "that anybody can call" according to a transcript.
Local police confirmed the National Security Unit at the national police headquarters had asked them to bring Atlason in.
Washington
The U.S. Senate late on Thursday approved a broad energy bill to increase the fuel efficiency of U. S. cars and trucks by Congress for the first time since 1975 and significantly boost production of renewable motor fuels like ethanol.
The modified bill was approved 86 to 8 and now goes to the full House of Representatives for a vote, expected next week, on the changes the Senate made to the legislation. If approved by the House, as is likely, the measure will then be sent to President George W. Bush.
Shortly after the Senate vote, the White House said the president would sign the bill into law.
The legislation would raise fuel efficiency of cars and trucks by 40 percent to an average 35 miles per gallon by 2020, cutting U.S. oil demand by 1.1 million barrels a day.
Kyoto
Business sentiment among big Japanese manufacturers has sunk to a two-year low, a Bank of Japan survey showed on Friday, reinforcing expectations that any rise in interest rates will be delayed to late next year.
Rising raw material costs, plummeting construction activity because of tighter building rules and fears of a U.S. recession due to the credit crisis all played a part in eroding optimism.
But the BOJ's December tankan survey also showed companies are sticking to robust capital spending plans, and sentiment at small manufacturers showed a surprising improvement.
"The outlook has sharply deteriorated, and the risk of economic downturn has increased," said Yasuhiro Onakado, chief economist at Daiwa SB Investments. "A rate hike by the Bank of Japan may have to wait until after the middle of next year."
Gaza
About 30 Israeli tanks and armored vehicles pushed into the Hamas-run Gaza Strip on Tuesday, sparking clashes with Palestinians in which five militants were killed, medics and militant groups said.
Residents said the raid, a day before Israel and Palestinians are due to hold their first talks since relaunching a U.S.-backed peace push, was the largest in their area since Israel pulled troops and settlers out of the territory in 2005.
Four Islamic Jihad gunmen were killed in clashes with Israeli ground forces and an air strike killed a local commander from the Popular Resistance Committees, a coalition of militant groups, medics and residents said.
Fifteen Palestinians, many of them gunmen, were also wounded in the incursion, which a spokesman for Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas described as a "heinous crime" that undermined the peace process.
Los Angeles
Hollywood directors said on Thursday they will seek to start contract talks with major film studios in January, giving striking screenwriters more time to restart their own stalled negotiations.
