听力原文: Last month I went to Manchester for a work meeting. I booked into a very nice hotel for two nights, and I was very happy with it. My room was beautiful, and the restaurant served very good food--in fact my dinner there that first night was delicious. But when I came back from my meeting on the second day, I found my room empty. All my things had disappeared. I checked that I was in the right room, and then I rushed down to reception. I was really worried because I thought I'd been robbed. When I got to reception, I said, "My room's empty! All my things have been stolen!" But the receptionist said, very politely, "Oh, very sorry, sir. That was a little mistake of ours. We thought you were leaving the hotel this morning, so we packed your things and took the suitcase downstairs, so that the cleaner could clean the room for the next guest. Then we realized we had made a mistake. Here's your case. "And she handed me my case with all my things just thrown inside, all in a mess. I was angry, and I immediately asked to see the manager.
How did the man feel about the hotel on the first day?
A.Disappointed.
B.Satisfied.
C.Angry.

听力原文: Nothing can buy a better night's sleep. Although it sounds silly, it was the first thing that crossed my mind when I awoke. I truly appreciated my happy rest. It was tike a gift from heaven. Interesting to think that Bill Gates, or any rich men you can mention, really couldn't have had a more satisfying and grateful night of sleep--the best that money can't buy.
That started me thinking of other pleasures that cost nothing or very little and that are often taken for granted, like a drink of cold water on a hot day when you're really thirsty, or a warm relaxing bath when you're extremely tired or mentally exhausted.
Remember your first real kiss--can you put a price tag on that? Or the companionship of a faithful and toying pet or the clean, fresh smell of mountain air? There's an old song, "the Best Things in Life Are Free."
Did you ever eat a meal that not only filled your stomach and satisfied all your tastes, but refreshed your soul? Ever spend a winter's evening in the company of good friends?
What could be better than listening to your favorite music or watching a good movie? Or sharing the beauty of a sunset with a loved one? These are quite delightful and delicate pleasures. I hope this doesn't sound too ridiculous. in today's rough, loud world. I hope the new generation can appreciate some of these things.

听力原文: I grew up in a small town. My father raised chickens and ran a construction company. When I was 10 years old, my dad gave me the responsibility of feeding chickens and cleaning up the stable. He believed it was important to me to learn responsibility and moods from those jobs.
When I was 22, I found a job in New York at a country music club. I washed dishes and cooked from 5:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m.and then went on stage and sang until 2:00 in the morning. I soon became known as a singing cook.I had been refused so many times by record companies that it was easy to be discouraged.
One night, a woman executive from a company named Warner Brothers Records came to hear me sing. When the show was over, we sat down and talked. Several weeks later, my manager received a phone call--Warner Brothers wanted to sign me to a record deal. I released my first record in July, 1987. It was sold over 2 million copies.
My best efforts had gone into every job I ever held. It was the sense of responsibility that made me feel like a man. Knowing that I had done my best filled me with pride. I still feel that way today, even though I have become a well-known singer.
32. When did the speaker begin to learn responsibility?
33.Who first recognized his gifts as a singer?
34.Where did the speaker work before he became a professional singer?
35.What made the speaker feel proud of himself?
(33)
A.At the age of 10.
B.At the age of 22.
C.When he was known as a singing cook.
D.After he found a job in New York.

"I smoke for my health," I declared in a newspaper article published in 1979. (46) . I reasoned that smoking made me cough and thus prevented pneumonia (肺炎); smoking made my heart go faster and eliminated the need for special exercise; smoking restrained my appetite and kept me trim. And then, at 51, I had a heart attack.
I knew the risk factors for early heart attacks include hypertension, diabetes(糖尿病), and a family history of heart disease, high blood-cholesterol (胆固醇)levels and smoking. (47) .
Strange how the evidence that linked smoking to heart disease appeared unclear to me, and how the same data now appear overwhelmingly convincing. Why stop now? Smokers who stop after their first heart attack have an 80-percent chance of living ten more years-- (48) .
As a smoker, I always resented the fact that we smokers received only scorn from non-smokers. How could non-smokers know that smoking was had for the health if there were no smokers to prove it? Being a member of the experimental group, rather than the control group, deserves a certain measure of social appreciation. I've done my time. I' m now ready to be a control. I no longer smoke for my health. My health can' t stand the help.
Will I miss the late - night trips to find a store that's still open and selling cigarettes? Will I miss searching through ashtrays(烟灰缸)to find the longest butt(烟蒂) that is still smokable? Only time will tell. Not smoking may give me the time to find out.
(49) Sure. Here is all you have to do. First, experience a severe crushing pain under your breastbone as you finish a cigarette. Next, have yourself admitted to a coronary-care(心脏康复)unit and be stripped of your clothing and belongings. Finally, remain in the unit at absolute bed rest for four days while smoking is forbidden. This broke my habit (50)
A. Was it easy to stop?
B. if they don't, a 60 percent chance.
C. See if it works for you.
D. All the smokers find it's hard to stop.
E. Since I am a doctor, this advice attracted amused attention.
F. The first four were in my favour, but I chose to smoke.
