听力原文:M: Hi, Sue.
W: Hello, Jill, how are you?
M: I'm fine. Did you watch the TV special about barnacles last night?
W: No, I missed it. What did you learn about them?
M: They glue themselves to rocks in the ocean, shortly after birth. They also stay in the same place forever.
W: Right, have you ever tried removing one of these things? It would be easier to chip the rock away than to get the barnacles off.
M: Exactly, and that's why scientists are trying to figure out what the barnacles glue is made of. It's considered one of the strongest adhesives in nature.
W: And it would have the advantage of being able to work on wet surfaces too.
M: Precisely, and because it's natural protein, it probably wouldn't be harmful to people like so many synthetic glues in use today.
W: Think of all the ways in which doctors and dentists could use such a glue to mend broken bones and fasten false teeth.
M: There could be countless uses. Scientists hope to learn soon exactly how the glue is made, so that people can make use of it.
W: That's good news for the general public. I hope it won't take long for the new glue to be put into use.
(23)
A.The reproductive cycle of barnacles.
B.A new source of protein.
C.Types of sea animals.
D.The adhesive quality of barnacles.

听力原文:M: Good morning, Patricia. How are you these days?
W: Fine, thanks, Bill. Glad to see you again. What news can you bring from your business trip to our headquarters in New York last week?
M: Well, not bad ones. During my stay in New York last week, I met our company's CEO Mr. Johnson. He wants us to put on a local conference sometime next month. I remember you made most of the arrangements for our last conference, and things went so smoothly. I thought I couldn't do better than ask you for some tips.
W: I'll be glad to help. Is it a sales conference again?
M: Yes, in a way. It's mainly for agents from home and abroad, and we're inviting a few of our influential customers. The objectives are mainly to introduce the products we're putting on the markets next season, to describe our services to customers and so on.
W: And how many people are expected to attend this time? Last time, it was about 220.
M: We're counting on 300 this time. No more than 350.
W: Then we cannot use the seaside conference hall again. It has a capacity of only 250.
M: That's the trouble. I was thinking of the President Convention Center, which has a larger capacity. Besides, I haven't worked out all those details yet. Then there are other things to arrange, like loudspeakers and visual aids. I'm going to make a checklist.
W. Yes, I did that, too. I'll be glad to give you a hand.
M: That would be great, Patricia. I'd very much like the chance of using some of your experience. May I invite you to lunch today? And then we could have a bit of planning session about it all afterwards.

听力原文:W: Hi, Tom. What are you reading?
M: Oh, hi, Tanya. This is a newspaper, the Community News. It carries only good news.
W: Oh, yeah. I think I've seen that.
M: Yeah, isn't it a great idea? I'm so fed up with all the bad news you read about all the time. It's about time someone offers some creative choice to the mainstream newspapers.
