听力原文:Many changes are taking place in the way in which men and women look at their rol

听力原文: Many changes are taking place in the way in which men and women look at their roles in society. We see these changes most dramatically in jobs and business situations. It is no longer unusual to find a male nurse or a female construction worker. Years ago,however,a man who worked as a nurse would have been looked down upon for doing a“woman's job”,and a female construction worker would have been roared off the construction site by her male co-workers. However,the most important changes that have taken place can be found in men's and women's roles in family lire.

Household work that used to be done by women is now often shared equally by men and women. Men have discovered at last that they too are capable of preparing the family dinner,rather than thinking that they are only capable of taking out the garbage. Perhaps the greatest change that has taken place in the family is in parents'new attitudes towards bringing up children。While it is true that only mothers can breastfeed their infants,nowhere is it written that fathers cannot bathe their own babies or change diapers. And more and more of them are doing just that. These days,being a full-time parent is a job that fathers and mothers both share.

As a result of these changes,we no longer insist that little boys play with trucks and grow up to be doctors,while little girls play with dolls and grow up to be housewives. Many men no longer feel that they must maintain a masculine attitude all the time,and many women no longer feel that they should be submissive and obedient. Changes like these do not occur overnight or even in a few years because they involve fundamental changes in attitudes and behavior.

(28)

A.Changes in Child Rearing.

B.Changes in American Sex Roles.

C.Changes in Men's Roles in Family Life.

D.Changes in Women's Roles in Career Pursue.

听力原文:A "typical" British family used to consist of mother, father and two children, bu

听力原文: A "typical" British family used to consist of mother, father and two children, but in recent years there have been many changes in family life. Some of these have been caused by new laws and others are the result of changes in society. For example, since the law made it easier to get a divorce, the number of divorces has increased. In fact one marriage in every three now ends in divorce. This means that there are a lot of one-parent families. Society is now more tolerant than it used to be of unmarried people, un married couples and single parents.

Another change has been caused by the fact that people arc living longer nowadays, and many old people live alone following the death of their partners. As a result of these changes in the pattern of people's lives, there are many families that consist of only one person or one person and children. You might think that marriage and the families are not so popular as they once were. However, the majority of divorced people marry again, and they sometimes take responsibility for a second family.

(33)

A.High rate of divorce in Britain.

B.Generation gap in Britain.

C.Changes in family life in Britain.

D.One-parent families in Britain.

听力原文: There are so many things going on in our modern lives, and change happens so quickly. It is hard to imagine a time when things were slower and you could really see a new thing come into your life and to remember the day or the year when those things happened. I know that today, for example, there, are many instances of second and third generations of things, such as televisions or radios, when some of us were not even aware that there was a first generation.

A friend of mine was born at the end of the last century, and talking to her, I really got a sense of her being a living history book, of being able to talk about the changes in her own life and to know that these changes were really the changes that society was going through.

She gets really excited, for example, when she talks about the first time she ever saw a camera, and even more excited when she saw herself in the picture that the photographer took. She lived in a small town, and at the time that she was very young, there were no cars or trains in her town at all. As she grew up, cars and trains came in, and she remembers her first ride with a real sense of amazement that any one count move so fast.

(30)

A.It's amazing that anyone could move so fast.

B.Televisions mark the beginning of modem life.

C.Modern life is changing very fast.

D.It's hard to remember the past.

听力原文:There are many reasons why family life in Britain has changed so much in the last

听力原文: There are many reasons why family life in Britain has changed so much in the last 50 years. The liberation of women in the early part of the 20th century and social and economic effects of the World War Two had a great impact on traditional family life. Women became essential to industry and the professions. During the war, they had worked in factories and proved their worth. Now, with the loss of millions of men, their services were indispensable to the nation. More recently great advances in scientific knowledge, and particularly in medicine have had enormous social consequences. Children are better cared for and are far healthier. Infant death rate is low. Above all, parents can now plan the size of their family if they wish through more effective means of birth control. Different attitudes to religion, authority and tradition generally have also greatly contributed to changes in family life. But these developments have affected all aspects of society. It is particularly interesting to know that the concept of the family as a social unit has survived all these challenges.

(30)

A.The liberation movement of British women.

B.Rapid economic development in Britain.

C.Changing attitudes to family life.

D.Reasons for changes in family life in Britain.

听力原文: Hollywood produces many different kinds of films, including mysteries, musicals, love stories, and horror films. As different as these films may be, they generally have one thing in common conflict. The main character wants something very badly and will do anything to get it. The opponent tries to stop the main character from achieving his goal. This opposition creates conflict, and conflict is the heart of drama. To give an example, let's say the main character is a young man of humble origin who wants to marry the beautiful daughter of a rich banker. The father thinks the young man is unworthy of his daughter, and he does not allow her to see him. The young man, who's very much in love, refuses to give up without a fight. The conflict between the young man and the girl's father is what makes the story interesting; it forces the main character to take action, and through their actions we see them as they actually are. In a good story, the main character changes he is not the same at the end of the story as he was at the beginning. He learns something from his experiences that make him a different, perhaps batter person. And we learn something from watching him. Good movies not only entertain us, they also help us understand a little more about life.

(23)

A.Love.

B.Violence.

C.Conflict.

D.Mystery.

听力原文:It is a great privilege for me to be invited to speak at the tenth year reunion o

听力原文: It is a great privilege for me to be invited to speak at the tenth year reunion of State University' s graduating class. When you arrived on campus today, after a decade, you were probably impressed by two changes at State:

one, the absence of University Tower, the first building constructed on the campus, and a historic landmark for many years; and two, the disappearance of parking lots on main campus.

Two years ago, University Tower was inspected and found to be unsafe. In spite of efforts to restore it, it was necessary to level the building. A bell tower was constructed on the same site, built for the most part using the good brick that was saved from the original building. The original bells were also preserved. As for the parking lots, they have been replaced by grass, trees, and pedestrian walkways. Parking is now located in parking garages on the North and West sides of the campus.

Two more subtle changes have occurred within the past decade. One is the creation and expansion of the Division of Continuing Education for the Community, including a Saturday and summer enrichment program for children, and an afternoon and evening special interest program for adult. The other is the addition of the student population of many young people from abroad, especially students from Japan, Latin America, and the Middle East, Most international students are enrolled in the College of Engineering and the college of Business.

And so, State is a different place, but like University Tower, it is built of the same brick. We are still committed to the same age old ideals "quality education for our citizens", but we have extended our commitment beyond the borders of our state and nation to encompass the citizens and nations of the world.

What is the occasion for the man's speech?

A.Graduation.

B.A class reunion.

C.The dedication of a new building.

D.The groundbreaking ceremony for a pedestrian walkway on campus.

听力原文:The traditional American family used to have a working father, a housewife-mother

听力原文: The traditional American family used to have a working father, a housewife-mother, and two or three children. But in the last 25 years, this picture has changed. Now we have many different kinds of families and living situations besides this traditional one. For example, there are many single mothers and single fathers who are raising children by themselves. There are married couples who decide that they don't want any children. Sometimes adult children who have been living alone for a long time come back and live with their parents again. You can also find groups of older people sharing a house in order to save money. And there are many other examples of new types of families in this country.

Why has the traditional family changed so much? Well, the reasons are both social and economic. First, as you know, the divorce rate is high in our culture; as a result, we have many single-parent families. Second, there is unemployment among young adults. If they cannot find a job, many times they return home and live with their parents again. But of course the most important reason for the changes in the American family is all American women are now working or looking for work. This means that more than half of all American homes do not have a full-time homemaker any more.

(23)

A.Traditional American family.

B.Modern American family.

C.Women's role in American family.

D.Changes in the American families and reasons.

There is little doubt that life-styles are changing and that these changes will have an influence on the way business operates in the years ahead. Several factors are. causing life-style. changes in U.S. society.

First, there is more leisure time than ever before. The workweek is now less than forty hours, as compared to seventy hours a century ago. Some experts believe it will be twenty-five hours or less before the year 2020. Several firms have adopted four-day workweeks with more hours per day. Others have cut the number of hours working each week. Reduced work schedules mean increased leisure time.

Gerber Products Company used to advertise "babies are our business -- our only business." Now Gerber products include infant clothing, stuffed animals, and accessories such as bottles, baby's carriages, and baby powder.

Third, people are better educated and more prosperous now than they were earlier. These advantages bring with them the freedom to question current life-styles and examine new ones. Inquiries of this nature have sometimes led to personal life-style. changes.

听力原文: In many societies women ere not treated as the equals of men. In some societies women must always obey the men in their lives. Other societies deny women basic equality in education, in employment, and politics. For example, in Liechtenstein, a small country in Western Europe, woman still do not have the right to vote. In the U.S. discrimination against women perhaps is not as clear as it is in some other parts of the world, but it exists. In 1971, for example, 90% of elementary school teachers were women. However, 80% of elementary school principals were men. In the same year only 7% of American doctors were women,

In the late 1960s, women's organizations began to demand an end to sex discrimination. They were quite successful. Today there are a number of laws that protect the fights of women. The women's organizations are also trying to change people's ideas about woman and about their place in society. This is a very difficult goal. New laws can perhaps change people's behavior, but they cannot always change people's ideas. As a result, the changes in ideas are slower; however, there is evidence that they are taking place.

(30)

A.Women enjoy equal fights in America.

B.Discrimination against women still exists in America.

C.Women should be allowed to vote for their leaders.

D.Women are inferior to men in managing school affairs.

听力原文:Carly Fiorina was the first chief executive chosen from outside to make changes a

听力原文: Carly Fiorina was the first chief executive chosen from outside to make changes at the technology company, Hewlett-Packard. Fortune magazine named her "the most powerful woman in business".

Soon after she arrived at H-P, a lot of people thought (29) she meant that women and minorities face no barriers to rising in companies. A research group found that women held sixteen percent of top jobs at the largest American companies in 2002. Many chief executives keep their jobs just three or four years. Miz Fiorina stayed almost six. Some people say Carly Fiorina received the same treatment that a man would have received. (30) Critics said she kept too much power to herself. They said her actions harmed financial performance. H-P stock now sells for less than half its price when she arrived. In 2001 she announced a deal to combine Hewlett-Packard with Compaq Computer. Some shareholders resisted. Walter Hewlett, the son of one of the two men who started H-P, opposed the deal in court. But shareholders approved it in March of 2002. (31) Results have been mixed. Since the merger with Compaq, H-P has increased its share of the world computer market to almost sixteen percent. But Dell has grown faster. That company now holds almost twenty percent of the highly competitive market. (31)Still, H-P remains the leading maker of computer printers in the world. And it is now the eleventh largest company in the United States.

(30)

A.She pulled the company through extreme difficulties.

B.She earned a lot of profits for the company.

C.She proved that women are admitted into the largest companies.

D.She proved to be the most qualified chief executive.
