听力原文：One day, a poor boy who was trying to pay his way through school by selling goods

听力原文： One day, a poor boy who was trying to pay his way through school by selling goods door to door found that he only had one dime left. He was hungry, so he decided to beg for a meal at the next house.

However, he lost his nerve when a lovely young woman opened the door. Instead of a meal he asked for a drink of water. She thought he looked hungry so she brought him a large glass of milk. He drank it slowly, and then asked, "How much do I owe you？"

"You don't owe me anything," she replied. "Mother has taught me never to accept pay for a kindness." He said, "Then I thank you from the bottom of my heart." As he left that house, he not only felt stronger physically, but also increased his faith in God and the human race.

Years later the young woman became critically ill. The local doctors were baffled. They finally sent her to the big city, where specialists could be called in to study her rare disease. Dr. Howard Kelly, the poor boy, now famous, was called in for the consultation. When he heard the name of the town she came from, a strange light filled his eyes. Immediately, he rose and went down through the hospital hall into her room. He recognized her at once. He went back to the consultation room and determined to do his best to save her life. From that day on, he gave special attention to her case.

After a long struggle, the battle was won. Dr. Kelly requested the business office to pass the final bill to him for approval. He looked at it and then wrote something on the side. The bill was sent to her room. She was afraid to open it because she was positive that it would take the rest of her life to pay it off. Finally she looked, and the note on the side of the bill caught her attention. She read these words, "Paid in full with a glass of milk."

(33)

A．Because he lost his way and was hungry.

B．Because he was a homeless child and it was the way he made a living.

C．Because he didn't have much money left and felt hungry.

D．Because all his money was given to the school.

听力原文： As the proverb says, "No one knows the value of health until he loses it." In other words, nothing is more valuable than health.

It is clear that health is the foundation of one's future success. If you become sick, it is nearly impossible to pursue your career effectively, much less to make your dreams come true. On the other hand, if you are strong, you can go all out to overcome the obstacles that lie ahead of you. Health is the resource of our energy. What should we do to maintain our health？ First, we should exercise every day to strengthen our muscles. Second, we might as well keep good hours, ff we get up early, we can breathe fresh air and see the sunrise. This habit can do wonders for our outlook on life. Third, there is a proverb that says, "Prevention is better than cure." ff you pay close attention to your health, you can avoid getting sick, or at least cure yourself of a disease while it is still in its beginning stage.

In conclusion, health is more important than wealth. Those who are rich but poor in health are on more fortunate than those who are poor, but healthy in body. If you want your wish to come true, health is the most important component of your success.

(30)

A．Wealth.

B．Health.

C．Habit.

D．Disease.

听力原文：In this century the traditional American family is constantly faced with the thre

听力原文： In this century the traditional American family is constantly faced with the threat of breakdown. Some sociologists suggest that one little-noticed cause may be the introduction of the TV dinner.

Before the appearance of television sets, the American dinner was a big event for the family, for in many homes dinner time may he the only time when everyone got together. A typical dinner was usually in three stages. In the preparation stage, the children and father frequently helped with table setting while mother put the last touches on the roast. In the eating stage, family members shared the day's experiences and mere food was consumed. In this stage families got to know one another and made joint decisions around the dinner table, and thus the family solidarity was reinforced. In the cleaning-up stage, children or father again gave their hands, so that the significance to the home community was clear. Unfortunately, all of these have been erased by a product—the television set.

By the beginning of the 1980s, the typical American family dinner is just twenty minutes long. The speed-up of this once leisurely experience is clearly connected to the overall pace of modem life and maybe a model of the modern life is the TV dinners—meals designed to be consumed between the opening and closing credits of a half-hour program. The once family affair has now become nothing more than the use of a fork and knife.

(33)

A．The problem of poverty.

B．The problem of having few children.

C．The problem of poor living conditions.

D．The problem of divorce.

听力原文：Nearly 400 years ago a young man traveled up to London. The young man had come on

听力原文： Nearly 400 years ago a young man traveled up to London. The young man had come on foot from Stradfurd-on-Avon, a small town on the Avon. He was poor, but he had confidence in his future, the future of a great actor. His name was William Shakespeare.

He had not been in London very long before he noticed that play-goers all went to the theatre on horseback. "Here is an opportunity!" he thought," There must be someone to take care of the horses when people are watching a play." So he began to do the job and he did it so well that people all liked him very much.

Soon the actors found the young man a very premising actor and he was given an opportunity to play a part on the stage. From that time on, his name became known. But he was not content with the life of an actor. He took great interest in play-writing. The plays he wrote, popular in England of his own time and up to the present day, have shown him to be one of the greatest writers the world has ever produced. He is among those who are loved by the people in all time and in all lands.

(30)

A．Because he wanted to be a great actor.

B．Because he wanted to be a playwright.

C．Because he was too poor to live on.

D．Because he wanted to take care of horses.

听力原文：Each day we all make many choices; most of these choices are small—what to wear,

听力原文： Each day we all make many choices; most of these choices are small—what to wear, what to eat etc. still there are many important choices that we make in life—which university to attend, what to study, whom to marry, etc. Sometimes we may become tired of making choices, but we always know that we will continue to make them as long as we live, because that is better than having them made for us. We may sometimes ask for advice about a choice we must make, but ultimately most of the decisions as to which choices are best will be made by ourselves, both important and unimportant. We also know that we will undoubtedly have to suffer that consequences of making poor choices and that we will often rejoice in the many fortunate choices we make.

Many writers have written about choices throughout our lives such as Boris Pasternak etc. One of the most popular and beloved poems in the English language has "choice" as its subject matter. In this poem, "The Road Not Taken", Robert Frost describes walking along a path through the woods and coming to a fork in the path. He must choose which fork to take, that is, which way to go, knowing that he will probably never be able to come back and try the other way. He ends his poem by "I took the one less traveled by, and that has made all the difference". This poem is seen as a metaphor for the important choices in life which do, indeed, make "all the difference". In Frost's case, the choice is often interpreted as his choice of career, to take the risk of becoming a poet, knowing that thousands of poets never really succeed.

(33)

A．Because it is difficult to make choices.

B．Because it is necessary for us to live.

C．Because others make us to do so.

D．Because making choice is better than having choices made for us.

听力原文：One day in 1848, a carpenter named Marshall, who worked in a sawmill on the Ameri

听力原文： One day in 1848, a carpenter named Marshall, who worked in a sawmill on the American River in California, made a surprising discovery. He noticed something bright and yellow, bent down to pick it up and took it to his friend, a Mr. Sutter. This was the beginning of the Californian Gold Rush. Sutter was a Swiss who had come to America to try to make a lot of money. The Governor of California had given him permission to make a home in the Sacramento Valley and his determination and energy had made him rich. He had built the mill together with Marshall in order to make use of the rich natural materials of his land.

Sutter realized the importance of the discovery and decided to ask the Governor for the right to the gold. So he sent a man named Bennet to San Francisco to see the Governor. He warned Bennet not to tell anyone because he was afraid that people would come before his right was recognized. Bennet could not keep the secret but people did not believe him at first. Then a newspaperman went to Sutter's mill to make a report. When he came back he ran through the streets shouting, "Gold! Gold!" Within a month almost the entire population had gone to look for the gold.

Then news spread across America to Europe and thousands of people joined in the search. Those who went by ship had to sail round Cape Horn but some preferred to go across America by land, and freight cars were used for travelers. Even then there were some who were prepared to cross the terrible desert of Death Valley.

The Gold Rush proved to be fatal to Sutter himself. For years he tried to get rid of those new-comers so that his family might enjoy the wealth of his land, but his business failed. The new-comers did a great deal of harm, and even killed one of his sons, and at the end of his life he was a poor man who often stopped people in the street to tell them that gold was worse than anything else.

Who was the first to find the gold in California？

A．Sutter.

B．Marshall.

C．Bennet.

D．A newspaperman.

听力原文： Pulling heavy suitcases all day in the summer is hard work, especially when you'

re a thin 14-year-old. That was me in 1940 —the youngest and smallest baggage boy at New York City's Pennsylvania Railway Station.

After just a few days on the job, I began noticing that the other fellows were overcharging passengers. I'd like to join them, thinking, "Everyone else is doing it."

When I got home that night, I told my dad what I wanted to do. "You give an honest day's work," he said, looking at me straight in the eye. "They're paying you. If they want to do that, you let them do that."

I followed my dad's advice for the rest of that summer and have lived by his words ever since. Of all the jobs I've had. it was my experience at Pennsylvania Railway Station that has stuck with me. Now I teach my players to have respect for other people and their possessions. Being a member of a team is a totally shared experience. If one person steals, it destroys trust and hurts everyone. I can put up with many things, but not with people who steal. If one of my players were caught stealing, he'd be gone.

Whether you're on a sports team, in an office or a member of a family, if you can't trust one another, there's going to be trouble.

A．They were all thin, young boys.

B．They were all from poor families.
