听力原文: The media is a general word for radio, television, film, newspapers, magazines and books. These are all ways to communicate with a large number of people in a very short time. Since the arrival of radio, and television in particular, the world has been getting smaller.

Today by using satellites which go round the Earth, television can reach about 2.5 billion people. An international sports event like the Olympic Games is sent live into the homes of half the people in the world. News pictures of wars and disasters such as earthquakes are seen immediately by people in safe, comfortable homes on the other side of the world. This can change the way people act and think—it can even change the way governments act. For example, in the sixties the terrible news pictures from Vietnam turned the American people against the war there, and in the end the U.S. government had to bring home the troops.

(33)

A.Radio.

B.Television.

C.Newspapers.

D.Books and magazines.

听力原文: The decade for natural disaster reduction is a program designed to reduce the im
pact of natural disasters throughout the world. With support from the United Nations, countries will be encouraged to share information about disaster reduction. For instance, information about how to plan for and cope with hurricanes, earthquakes and other natural disasters. One of the most important things the program plans to do is to remind us of what we can do to protect ourselves. For example, we can pack a suitcase with flashlights, a radio, food, drinking water and some tools. This safety may help us survive a disaster until help arrives. Besides, the program will encourage governments to establish building standards, emergency response plans, and training programs. These measures can help to limit the destruction by natural disasters. The comparatively mild effects of the northern California earthquake in 1989 are good evidence that we do have the technology to prevent vast destruction. The recent disasters, on the other hand, prove that people will suffer if we don’t use that technology. When a highway collapsed in northern California, people were killed in their cars. The highway was not built according to today’s strict standards to resist earthquakes. Individuals and governments have to be far-sighted. We should take extra time and spend extra money to build disaster safety into our lives. Although such a program can’t hold back the winds or stop earthquakes, they can save people's lives and homes.

What is the purpose of the program mentioned in this passage.'?

A.To predict natural disasters that can cause vast destruction.

B.To limit the destruction that natural disasters may cause.

C.To gain financial support from the United Nations.

D.To propose measures to hold back natural disasters.

听力原文: When I first went to London as a student, I sat a lone during parties with my glass of wine. I hoped people would think that I was having great thoughts and that someone might come up to me and say "Excuse me, I hope you won't mind my coming up to you like this. I don't want to interrupt your thoughts. But really, you are the only interesting-looking person in the room. May I talk to you? It never happened. Here is some ad vice if you would like to be a good conversationalist. Be an attentive listener. Encourage others to talk about themselves. To be interesting, be interested. Ask questions that other people will enjoy answering. Encourage them to talk about themselves and what they have done. Remember that the people you are talking to are a hundred times more interested in themselves and their problems than they are in you and your problems. A person's toothache means more to that person than a famine in Africa which kills a million people. A pain in one's arm interests one more than forty earthquakes in America. Think of that the next time you start a conversation. Diogenes, the Greek philosopher who is sup posed to have lived in a barrel, said, "The reason why we have two ears and only one mouth is so that we may listen more and talk less."

A.Nobody came to talk to the speaker.

B.People didn't listen to the speaker attentively.

C.People kept interrupting the speaker.

D.People made fun of the speaker.

听力原文: Born in North Carolina but raised in Maryland, Toir Amos was the daughter of a p
reacher. By the age of four, she was singing and playing the piano in the church choir; she began writing her own songs shortly afterward. Amos moved to Los Angeles in her late teens to become a pop singer.

Atlantic Records signed her in 1987, recording an uninspired album called Y Kant Tori Read. The following year, the record was a complete failure, attracting no attention from radio or press and selling very few copies, nevertheless, she didn't lose her record contract. By 1990, Amos had adopted a new approach. Atlantic sponsored a trip to England in 1991, where she played a series of concerts in support on an EP, Me and a Gun. It gained positive reviews throughout the media, and both the EP and the concerts sold well.

Little Earthquakes, Amos first album as a singer and songwriter, was released in late 1991 and sold well in both the U.S. and the U.K. delivered in early 1993, Under the Pink, the follow-up to Little Earthquakes, was a bigger hit, selling over a million copies.

Two years later, she delivered her third album, Boys for Pele, her most ambitious and difficult record to date.

Known for the sexual way that she plays the piano while in concert and for her radical and often rebellious lyrics, Toir has developed a huge fan base and much critical acclaim. She is now happily married, has just recently given birth to a baby girl, and continues to please her millions of fans earning some new ones along the way.

Which of the following was Amos’ first album as a singer and songwriter?

A.Y Kant Tori Read.

B.Little Earthquakes.

C.Under the Pink.

D.Boys for Pele.

听力原文:For most people, reading a newspaper has become a habit passed down from generati

听力原文: For most people, reading a newspaper has become a habit passed down from generation to generation. I'm sure in a hundred years we will still be reading newspapers.

What basically makes news is what affects our lives — the big political stories the coverage of the wars, earthquakes and other disasters will continue much the same. I think there will be more coverage of scientific research, though. It's already happening in areas that may directly affect our lives, like genetic engineering. In the future, I think there will be more coverage of scientific explanations of why we feel as we do — as we develop a better understanding of how the brain operates and what our feelings really are.

It's quite possible that in the next century newspapers will be transmitted electronically from Fleet Street and printed out in our own home. In fact, I'm pretty sure that is how it will happen in the future. You will probably be able to choose from a menu, making up your own newspaper by picking out the things you want to read.

I think people have got it wrong when they talk about the competition between the different media. They actually feed off each other. Some people once foresaw that television would kill off newspapers, but that hasn't happened. What is read on the printed page lasts longer than pictures on a screen or sound lost in the air. And as for the Internet, it's never really pleasant to read something just on a screen.

Questions 29 to 31 are based on the passage you have just heard.

29. What does the speaker say about news in the future?

30. What will probably be on in the newspaper made by yourself?

31. What does the speaker think of different media?

(30)

A.It will cover more big political affairs.

B.It will cover less disasters.

C.It will cover more scientific research.

D.It won't be printed in publishing houses.
