第1题
听力原文：M: What are you doing？
W: I'm ordering some filing cabinets out of a catalog.
M: What do you need them for？
W: There's so much stuff piling up in my dormitory room. If I don't do something soon, I won't be able to move in there.
M: Do you usually order from a catalog？
W: Sometimes. Why？
M: Oh, it's just in the history class today we were talking about how the catalog sales business first got started in the US.
A Chicago retailer, Montgomery Ward started it in the late 1800s. It was really popular among farmers. It was difficult for them to make it to the big city stores so they ordered from catalogs.
W: Was Ward the only one in the business？
M: At first, but another person named Richard Sears started his own catalog after he heard how much money Ward was making.
W: What made them so popular？
M: Farmers trusted Ward and Sears for one thing. They delivered the products the farmers paid for and even refunded the price of things the farmers weren't satisfied with. The catalog became so popular that some country school teachers even used them as textbooks.
W: Textbooks？
M: Yeah, students practice spelling the names and adding up the prices of things in the catalogs.
W: Was everybody happy about it？
M: That's doubtful. It was said they drove some small store owners out of business. Sears and Ward sold stuff in such large quantities that they were able to undercut the prices at some small family owned stores.
(27)
A．The necessity to keep everything in place.
B．Catalogs used as textbooks by country school teachers.

第5题
听力原文：M: So, what exactly are you doing to protect the elephants here？
W: Well, we have managed to raise a lot of money for this project. A lot of it is being used to compensate farmers for the damage that elephants do to their crops.
M: How does that protect the elephants？
W: Since the elephants cause damage to the crops, farmers are often tempted to go out and kill the elephants.
M: I see. So, the farmers don't have a real problem with the elephants until the elephants start eating the crops. But why do the elephants do that？
W: Well, there aren't enough trees to provide them with food on the land that has been reserved for them.
M: Mm. But if you successfully protect the elephants, their numbers will grow and they will need more food. That means that they'll need more land.
W: That's true, but we've solved that problem too. What we do is move some elephants to reservations where there are relatively few.
M: So that's where you spend another large proportion of the money you raise.
W: Actually, it isn't very expensive because we share the cost with the people who run the other reservations.
M: I see. How do you decide which elephants to move？
W: We use two criteria. The first is that we maintain the genetic diversity of the elephant herd. The second is that we transport the more aggressive members of the herd, which results in us spending less money compensating farmers.
M: Are there any plans to expand the reservation？
W: We have allocated some money to land purchases, but such purchases could have a damaging effect on the local human population, so we rarely do it.
M: What kinds of research are you doing on the elephants here？
W: We're mainly studying the way that elephants interact with each other within a herd.
M: I see. Well, thanks very much for your time.
W: My pleasure.
