听力原文：（32) Most of the people who appear most often and most gloriously in the history

听力原文： (32) Most of the people who appear most often and most gloriously in the history books are great conquerors and generals and soldiers, whereas the people who really helped civilization forward are often never mentioned at all. We do not know who first set a broken leg, or launched a seaworthy boat, or calculated the length of the year, or manured (施肥)a field; but we know all about the killers and destroyers. People think a great deal of them, so much so that on all the highest pillars in the great cities of the world you will find the figure of a conqueror or a general or a soldier. And I think most people believe that the greatest countries are those that have beaten in battle the greatest number of other countries and ruled over them as conquerors. It is just possible they are, but they are not the most civilized.

Animals fight; so do savages (野蛮人); (33) hence to be good at fighting is to be good in the way in which an animal or a savage is good, but it is not to be civilized. Even being good at getting other people to fight for you and telling them how to do it most efficiently—this, after all, is what conquerors and generals have done—is not being civilized. People fight to settle quarrels. Fighting means killing, and civilized peoples ought to be able to find some way of settling their disputes other than by seeing which side can kill off the greater number of the other side, and then saying that that side which has killed most has won. (34) And it not only has won, but, because it has won, has been in the right. For that is what going to war means; it means saying that might is right.

That is what the story of mankind has on the whole been like. Even our own age has fought the two greatest wars in history, in which millions of people were killed or disabled. And while today it is true that people do not fight and kill each other in the streets—while, that is to say, (35) we have got to the stage of keeping the rules and behaving properly to each other in daily life—nations and countries have not learnt to do this yet, and still behave like savages.

32. Which kind of people appears most often in the history books？

33.What does it probably mean if people "are good at fighting"？

34.What is the reason for so many wars according to the passage？

35.What kind of civilization do we have in our modern society？

(33)

A．People who invented the TV.

B．People who launched a seaworthy boat.

C．People who calculated the length of the year.

D．Great conquerors, generals and soldiers.

听力原文： Lions prefer to eat without having to do much work. When resting in the shade, they are also watching the sky. And if they see birds fly down, they immediately sense that something must be happening. Even in the heat of the day, they will certainly arise and run a mile across the plains to find out what is going on. If another animal has made a kill, they will drive it off and take the dead animal for themselves. A grown lion can easily consume 60 pounds of meat at a single feeding. Often, they eat until it seems painful for them to lie down. The female lions are leaner and swifter, and as a result, are better hunters than the males. Most kills are made at night or just before dawn. The kill is the most exciting moment in the day-to-day existence of the lions, since these great beasts spend most of their time—bout 20 hours a day—sleeping and resting. Lions are also social cats. And during these times of leisure, they love to tease against each other, and the young lions are always playing among themselves and with their parents.

(30)

A．They are not active hunters.

B．They don't sleep much.

C．They are often seen alone.

D．They don't eat much.

听力原文： A new international study shows that six people die every minute from smoking. This study shocked most people because it means 3 million deaths around the world every year. If the present rate of smoking continues, the number of deaths each year from smoking could rise to 10 million by the year 2050. This news has worried the most people in the developed countries, especially those smokers.

The study also shows that smoking is the main cause of the death in industrial countries, and most of the smoking deaths have happened to men, especially in developing countries. That means more people smoke in the poor areas than in the rich areas and more people died in the poor countries than in the wealthy countries.

In addition, the study indicates that smoking may also cause lung cancer to those adults. It may lead to cancer of the mouth and other parts of body. Smokers are more likely than nonsmokers to suffer from heart disease. Therefore, experts advise the people to stop smoking completely so that they can reduce their chance of dying early.

(30)

A．3 million smokers increase every year.

B．3 million people get lung cancer every year.

C．3 million cigarettes ate produced every year.

D．3 million people die from smoking every year.

听力原文： Pyramids along the Nile River are the most interesting buildings in the world. Thousands of years ago in Egypt, kings built the pyramids. They used to build them as their tombs. The kings thought the pyramids would help them find life after death. They also wanted the world to remember them as important people.

The oldest pyramid we know today is the one near Sahara in Egypt. It is about 5 000 years old. The largest is the pyramid of Khufu. It is made of two million three hundred thousand huge stones, most of them higher than a person. It is about 114 meters high. To build the pyramid of Khufu, 100000 men worked for twenty years. We know there were wonderful treasures in the pyramid. Robbers went into the pyramids and took many of these treasures. Today some of the treasures are in museums though.

How did the people of ancient days build the pyramids？ How did they carry and lift the huge stones？ Each stone fits so well and they didn't have our modern machines. Scientists have studied the pyramids but no one can say for sure how they did it.

听力原文： The Civil War came about as a result of many differences between the North and the South. The differences had their beginnings in the early 1800s. Tensions continued to grow for several decades. When the war began in 1861, most American believed the conflict would not last long. Instead, it stretched into four years of bloody fight. In the end, more Americans died in the Civil War than in any war the nation had fought.

The disagreements between the North and the South centered on the following five issues: slavery, tariffs, taxes, political power in the House of Representative, and political power in the Senate. People in the North had strong feelings about each of these issues. So did the people in the South. Each side had reasons for the way it felt.

Many people in the North did not believe in slavery. They thought the people of the South should not own slaves. Although some southerners opposed slavery, most felt they needed slaves to raise cotton and tobacco, which were the pillar economy. On the other hand, the North' s economy was based on manufacturing industry not plantation agriculture. The northern ers opposed slavery in the South since they had not enough people to work in their factories and wanted to get human resources. In the end the North won the war and the Union was saved.

(30)

A．In the early 1800s.

B．Several decades after its break.

C．In 1861.

D．In 1865.
