听力原文： British people place considerable value on punctuality. If you agree to meet friends at three o'clock, you can bet that they'll be there just after three. Since Britons are so time conscious, the pace of life may seem very rushed. In Britain, people make great effort to arrive on time. It is often considered impolite to arrive even a few minutes late. If you are unable to keep an appointment, it is expected that you call the person you are meeting.

If you are invited to someone's house for dinner at half past seven, it is considered good manners to arrive ten to fifteen minutes "late". An invitation might state "7 : 30 to 8: 00", in which case you should arrive no later than 7: 50. However, if an invitation says "sharp", you must arrive in plenty of time.

"Drop in anytime" and "come see me soon" are idioms often used in social settings but seldom meant to be taken literally. It is wise to telephone before visiting someone at home. Although it is not necessarily expected that you give a gift to your host, it is considered polite to do so, especially if you have been invited for a meal. Flowers, chocolate, or a small gift are all appropriate. A thank-you note or telephone call after the visit is also considered polite and is an appropriate means to express your appreciation for the invitation.

(30)

A．after 8: 15.

B．no later than 7: 30.

C．no later than 7: 50.

D．at 8: 00.

听力原文： A "typical" British family used to consist of mother, father and two children, but in recent years there have been many changes in family life. Some of these have been caused by new laws and others are the result of changes in society. For example, since the law made it easier to get a divorce, the number of divorces has increased. In fact one marriage in every three now ends in divorce. This means that there are a lot of one-parent families. Society is now more tolerant than it used to be of unmarried people, un married couples and single parents.

Another change has been caused by the fact that people arc living longer nowadays, and many old people live alone following the death of their partners. As a result of these changes in the pattern of people's lives, there are many families that consist of only one person or one person and children. You might think that marriage and the families are not so popular as they once were. However, the majority of divorced people marry again, and they sometimes take responsibility for a second family.

(33)

A．High rate of divorce in Britain.

B．Generation gap in Britain.

C．Changes in family life in Britain.

听力原文： Today, we'll look at another problem that is troubling the British society. It seems that young people in Britain today are losing the ability to communicate clearly and accurately in standard English, and the British government is so concerned that it bas set up a committee to "promote the use of better English".

However, do Britain's young people really have a problem in expressing themselves clearly？ A study published in October suggests that there is real cause for concern; it showed that among the UK's 15-year-olds, only 22 percent of boys and 28 percent of girls feel comfortable using standard English in formal situations such as at school and in interviews. Some people think that British pupils leaving school are not as good at using languages as pupils from other countries, partly because, they don't spend very much time talking in class. There is some reason for being concerned about the levels of fluency and willingness to speak in public, even if "public "just means in front of the rest of the class.

The committee is made up of a range of people from the world of business, education, sport, the arts and the media. It will be chaired by the broadcaster, Trevor McDonald. He is a widely respected and popular figure. Originally from a small village in Trinidad in the West Indias, Trevor McDonald learned perfect English by reading the Oxford Dictionary every day and listening to the BBC World Service. The Government hopes that by his example Trevor McConald will be able to help persuade children to make an effort to speak good English.

(33)

A．Reading and writing in English.

B．Talking freely in public.

C．Smoothly and clearly expressing themselves in English.

D．Successfully handling job interviews.

听力原文： In different parts of Britain, people call their meals by different names. It's very complicated. For most people the main meal of the day is called dinner. But some families eat this at mid-day, others eat it in the evening. People who have dinner in the evening have a smaller meal called lunch at mid-day, and people who have dinner at mid-day usually have another meal which they call tea between five and six, or they have supper a little later.

Dinner may have two or three courses. First a starter, for example soup, then a main course with meat or fish and finally a dessert.
