听力原文： In an attempt to resist the rising cost of fuel and fight the pollution choking our cities, many outgoing students have taken to riding bicycles to school. The unfortunate result of this otherwise positive trend is the traffic problems caused by bicycles having to shale, the road with cars. Unfortunately, traffic accidents involving bicycles are on the increase throughout the country, so this new solution has lead to a dilemma.

To solve this dilemma, special bike paths have been created on most roads leading to and from college campuses. It is essential that cyclists stay on those paths. It is necessary for the safety of those of you who ride bicycles as well as the motorists that you share the road with.

Obviously, it may be inconvenient to ride in the bike paths at times, but we must insist on it. To enforce the necessity of staying on the paths, there are fines for bicyclists who ride down the middle of the street. The federal fines are currently running at $ 25 for a first time violation, but if the law is continually violated, the fines will increase by different amount depending on your local orders.

The money that is collected from the fines will go towards a fund to help build better bike paths. You may have special bicycle bridges in your neighborhood right now. If not, you can count on seeing them in the future. We are committed to making bicycling a safe alternative to using cars and we appreciate your help in making that goal a reality.

(33)

A．Pollution in the air.

B．A lack of parking.

C．Accidents with bicycles.

D．A lack of bridges.

听力原文：Larry Smith is one of the rescuers on the Golden Gate Bridge. His job is to save

听力原文： Larry Smith is one of the rescuers on the Golden Gate Bridge. His job is to save people who attempt to jump into the sea. If the telephone rings at three in the morning, he knows it's trouble. Someone is threatening to commit suicide. Larry will get his things ready and in no time he will be out of the door heading to the spot. "If you aren't too late," Larry says, "you climb out onto the cold steel and try to talk to the poor soul and pull him or her back to safety." Many suicide attempts are made on the spur of the moment and lives can be saved. But if you fail, if the person jumps into the bottom of the fog, there's no describing how helpless you feel. Often would-be jumpers are driven to despair and see no hope of getting out of their misery. The trick is to open a channel of communication with them. Following are some tricks that have worked. "Hey, if you're going to jump, at least give me your mom's phone number. So I can call and tell her." "That's a nice watch. If you're going to jump, can I have it？" Sometimes all it takes is the voice of the human being you cares. Larry estimates he has rescued 38 people in his ten years of service.

(30)

A．A rescuer on the Golden Gate Bridge.

B．A professional diver.

C．A telephone operator.

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.

听力原文：W: In public speaking, the watchword is preparation. Most of us tend to put thing

s off, at least occasionally. It's so easy to put things off, especially those things we do not look forward to doing. So if a speaking engagement is several weeks off, we may feel we still have plenty of time. But as the day draws closer, we begin to panic. Do not let this happen to you. Start preparing as soon as you are given or accept the speaking assignment. You have much to do and to do it right will take time. How much better your speech will be and how much better you will feel, if you have taken the time to do it right.

When you are prepared, you have gathered the needed date, determined what is appropriate to the listeners' understanding and acceptance levels, organized the ideas so they flow logically, selected examples and other support for your ideas, and made them interesting to your listeners. Develop a great opening that you know will catch that attention of even day dreamers in your audience. Check out the room you will be speaking in. Request any feasible changes which you wish in the set-up of the room. If you are prepared, you are confident you can best convey your message to your listeners. If you have waited until a few days before your presentation to begin to prepare, or worse, yet, the day before, no doubt you will be anxious, and with good reasons. Now there is out enough time to engage in more than a superficial attempt; both you and your audience will feel uncomfortable. Like retirement planning, it is never too early to start preparing for your presentation. So start preparing right away.

What is the most important thing in public speaking？

A．Confidence.

B．Preparation.

C．Informativeness.

D．Organization.

听力原文： The Iraqi Special Tribunal has brought its first charges against Saddam Hussein

for alleged crimes during his reign, the tribunal announced Sunday.

The charges were announced by Judge Raed Juhi, chief investigative judge of the tribunal. They are connected with a 1982 series of detentions and executions after an assassination attempt on Saddam in Dujayl.

Charges against five other men were announced in February. The men will not be tried individually.

"With this announcement, the [tribunal] has raised this historic trial to a new level where the accused stands before justice which will rely on evidence," Juhi said.

No trial date was announced, but under Iraqi law Saddam could stand trial as early as September, because of a minimum 45-day period following referral for trial.

On July 8, 1982, a convoy carrying Saddam traveled through the town of Dujayl, a Shiite village north of Baghdad, and was attacked by a small band of residents.

A series of detentions and executions in the town followed the incident. According to the tribunal, 15 people were summarily executed and some 1,500 others spent years in prison with no charges and no trial date. Ultimately, another 143 were put on "show trials" and executed, according to the tribunal.

Speaking from Rome, Italy, an attorney for Saddam questioned whether a trial would ever be held at all.

"As of today, we still do not have a single document purporting to be anything where we can be ready for trial, and after their own rules ... we will require ... time to be able to prepare a defense," said Giovanni di Stefano. "Anything other than that would make it a farce."

Which institute has brought its first charges against Saddam Hussein？

A．The Iraqi government.

B．The Iraqi state council.

C．The Iraqi Special Tribunal.

D．The U.S. military court.
