听力原文:M: Hi, Jane! Did you watch that documentary on TV last night?
W: No, I was in a meeting, and didn't get home until 11:50. What was it about'?
M: It was about insects.
W: Insects?
M: Yeah! Do you know they are the most successful creatures on the planet?
W: What, more successful than humans?
M: Well, think about it! They were around long before people were--there are far more insects than humans--I mean, trillions of them! And they are reproducing all the time!
W: Well, I suppose that's true!
M: And they are incredibly adaptable.
W: In what way?
M: Well, take mosquitoes for example. You know, they spread malaria. Malaria is still a big problem in the world. The trouble is that every time we try to wipe out the mosquitoes with some new insecticide, they change their body-chemistry!
W: Haven't the scientists just brought out a new insecticide to fight mosquitoes?
M: Yes, they have. But I bet that within five years the mosquitoes will simply adapt again!
W: I suppose it keeps the scientists employed!
M: Yes! You know, I'd really like to work in that field after I graduate.
W: Why not!

New Product Will Save Lives
Drinking water that looks clean may still contain bugs (虫子), which can cause illness. A small company called Genera Technologies has produced a testing method in three stages, which shows whether water is safe. The new test shows if water needs chemicals added to it, to destroy anything harmful. It was invented by scientist Dr. Adrian Parton, who started Genera five years ago. He and his employees have developed the test together with a British water company.
Andy Headland, Genera&39;s marketing director, recently presented the test at a conference in the USA and forecasted good American sales for it. Genera has already sold 11 of its tests at $42,500 a time in the UK and has a further four on order. It expects to sell another 25 tests before the end of March. The company says it is the only test in the UK to be approved by the government.
Genera was formed five years ago and until October last year had only five employees; it now employs 14. Mr. Headland believes that the company should make around $19 million by the end of the year in the UK alone.
Genera Technologies has developed a method that determines whether water is clean. 查看材料
A.Right
B.Wrong

听力原文: The global spread of English over the last 40 years is remarkable. It is unprecedented in several ways: by the increasing number of users of the language; by its depth of penetration into societies; by its range of functions.
Worldwide over 1.4 billion people live in countries where English has official status. One out of five of the world's population speaks English with some degree of competence. Over 70% of the world's scientists read English. About 85% of the world's mail is written in English. By the year 2010, the number of people who speak English as a second or foreign language will outnumber native speakers.
English is used for more purposes than ever before. Vocabularies, grammatical forms, and ways of speaking and writing have shown influence from technological and scientific developments, economics and management, literature and entertainment genres. There is no reason to believe that any other language will appear within the next 50 years to replace English.
English has become an international language. However, this does not mean that English is replacing or will replace other languages as many fear. Instead, it may supplement or co-exist with other languages by allowing strangers to communicate across linguistic boundaries. It will become a tool that opens windows to the world, unlocks doors to opportunities, and expands our minds to new ideas.
(26)
A.1.4 billion.
B.One fifth of the world's population.
C.70 percent of the world's population.
D.50 million.
