听力原文： Every part of the United States has special celebrations, depending on the particular national groups that live in the area. In Hawaii, there are origins. Immigrants from China and Japan arrived in Hawaii in great numbers during the past century.The early Polynesians came to Hawaii from South Pacific islands more than a thousand years before any other people. The Asians left rich traditions for their younger generations to follow. Today, Hawaiians honor the memory of their ancestors with special feasts and festivals.Chinese-Hawaiians hold the Moon Festival to honor the memory of their ancestors and their native land. The Moon Festival occurs in August on the night of the full moon. Unlike the Japanese festival, the Chinese celebration is a simple family occasion. Family members gather in a garden or large open-air space in the light of the moon. They drink tea and feast on delicious moon-shaped cakes filled with meat or sweets, depending on family custom. If the family is from northern China, the cakes have meat in them. If the family comes from southern China, the cakes have sweet firings.The cakes, an important food on this occasion, represent an event in Chinese history. A long time ago, the people of China used round cakes in a special way they sent secret messages to each other in them. The messages gave instructions for the people of the north and south to join together to fight against the evil who ruled them at that time. The trick worked and the people were able to overthrow their ruler. By recalling this event in the Moon Festival, the Chinese people help to keep their native traditions alive and their family ties strong.

听力原文：W: The Americans came from America. That's easy, isn't it？M: I'm sorry to say you

听力原文：W: The Americans came from America. That's easy, isn't it？

M: I'm sorry to say you are wrong! The Americans came from almost every part of the world. That's to say, mare than 230 million people now call America home, but most of them can trace their families back to other parts of the world. That's why America has long been known as a "melting pot". It is believed that the first to arrive were the American Indians. They came titan Asia in very ancient times, more than 10,000 years ago. There used to be millions of them, but today they only number about 850,000. Half of them live on special land of their own in 31 states, while the others have "melted" in with the rest of America's 230 million people.

W: Do the American Indians have anything to do with the Indians of India？

M: No, nothing. As a matter of fact, the American Indiana came from Siberia.

W: Then, why do people call them Indians？

M: Because when Christopher Columbus made his historic voyage in 1492, he expected to reach India. So he called the people of the New World "Indians" and Indian is the name that has remained till now.

(26)

A．Because Americans love melting pot.

B．Because Americans came from almost every part of the world.

C．Because America is famous for melting pot.

D．Because America contains a large number of people.

听力原文：I'm sure almost every one of you looked at your watch or at a clock before you ca

听力原文： I'm sure almost every one of you looked at your watch or at a clock before you came to class today. Watches and clocks seem as much a part of our life as breathing or eating. And yet did you know that watches and clocks were scarce in the United States until the 1850s. In the late 1700s, people didn't know the exact time unless they were near a clock. Those delightful clocks in the squares of European towns were built for the public. After all, most citizens simply couldn't afford a personal time piece. Well into the 1800s in Europe and the United States, the main purpose of a watch, which by the way was worn off the wrist and on a gold chain, was to show others how wealthy you were. The word "wrist watch" didn't even enter the English language until nearly 1900. By then the rapid pace of the industrialization in the United States meant that measuring time had become essential. How could the factory worker get to work on time unless he or she knew exactly what time it was？ Since the efficiency was now measured by how fast the job was done, everyone was interested in time. And since industrialization made possible the manufacture of large quantities of goods, watches became fairly inexpensive. Furthermore electric lights kept factories going around the clock. Being "on time" had entered the language and life of every citizen.

(29)

A．The industrialization of the United States.

B．The development of individual timepieces.

C．Reasons for increased productivity.

D．How wristwatches are manufactured.

听力原文：I grew up in a house where the TV was seldom turned on and with one wall in my be

听力原文： I grew up in a house where the TV was seldom turned on and with one wall in my bedroom entirely lined with bookshelves; most of my childhood was spent on books I could get hold of. In fact, I grew up thinking of reading as natural as breathing and books unbelievably powerful in shaping perspectives by creating worlds we could step into, take part in and live in.

With this unshakable belief, I, at fourteen, decided to become a writer. Here too, reading became useful. Every writer starts off knowing that he has something to say, but being unable to find the right ways to say it. He has to find his own voice by reading widely and discovering which parts of the writers he agrees or disagrees with, or agrees with so strongly that it reshapes his own world. He cannot write without loving to read, because only through reading other people's writing can one discover what works, what doesn't and, in the end, together with lots of practice, what voice he has.

Now I am in college, and have come to realize how important it is to read fiction. As a law student, my reading is in fact limited to subject matter — the volume of what I have to read for classes every week means there is little time to read anything else. Such reading made it all the clearer to me that I live in a very small part in this great place called life. Reading fiction reminds me that there is life beyond my own. It allows me to travel across the high seas and along the Silk Road, all from the comfort of my own armchair, to experience, though secondhand, exciting experiences that I wouldn't necessarily be able to have in my lifetime.

Questions 33 to 35 are based on the passage you have just heard.

33. What can we learn about the speaker as a child？

34. What effect does reading fiction have on the speaker？

35. Which can be the best title for this passage？

(30)

A．He never watched TV.

B．He read what he had to.

C．He found reading unbelievable.

D．He considered reading part of his life.

听力原文： Today we're going to talk about shyness and discuss recent research on ways to help children learn to get along with others socially.

Many people consider themselves shy. In fact, forty percent of people who took part in our survey said they were shy--that's two out of every five people. And there are studies to indicate that the tendency toward shyness may be inherited. But certain timid children doesn't mean that they are bound to be shy forever. There is something parents, teachers, and the children themselves can do to overcome this tendency--and even to prevent it.

Our researchers found that if parents gently push their shy children to try new things, they can help these children become less afraid and less inhibited. Another way to help shy children is to train them in social skills. For example, there are special training programs where children are taught things like looking at other children while talking to them, talking about others' interests, and even smiling.

These groups have been very successful in giving shy children a place to feel safe and accepted, and building up their self-esteem.

(33)

A．Showing children how to behave.

B．Helping children overcome shyness.

C．Several causes of children's shyness.

D．How timid children become shy adults.

听力原文：I was recently working with some sixth form. comprehensive school students, when

听力原文： I was recently working with some sixth form. comprehensive school students, when a television company asked for permission to come in and make a short film of our activities. The arrival of the cameras and crew was a major event. The setting up of the equipment, the conversion of the classroom into a mini-studio, and the sheer presence of so many television personnel (10 in all) all made this into a special occasion. On the day of filming I was better prepared than usual, and chose to wear clothes which I fancied might have some visual appeal. So did the students.

The session itself was disappointing. The camera and lights were frightening to us all and even normally active students were reluctant to attempt an opinion. Every time one of them spoke, every pieced available equipment was turned towards her.

Fortunately, this was part of a program about interesting developments in education, so the director intervened in order to encourage the kind of lively responses she was looking for. "If you don't speak up and get involved." she told the students, "then you won't be on television." The effect was immediate. The students began to go over-the-top in their attempts to attract attention. When someone said something of interest the director stopped the discussion, focused the camera and lights on her and asked her to repeat it. All of my contributions to the discussion were reshot at the end, after the students had left, and cut into the final film. Nothing could have been further removed from our normal way of working.

(26)

A．Because everyone wore her best clothes.

B．Because the classroom had never been a studio.

C．Because the speaker was going to be well known.

D．Because it involved a lot of equipment and workers.
