听力原文：M: The Energy Minister announced at a press conference yesterday. the constructio

n of three more nuclear power stations. These will form. a vital part of the government's energy plans for the next two decades and are needed to satisfy the country's growing demands for electricity. The plans were strongly criticised by opposition MP's as well as anti-nuclear and environmentalist groups.

W: They must be absolutely mad, more nuclear power stations!

M: OK. Jane. But we've got to get the energy from somewhere, haven't we？ We can't just go on using oil and coal.

W: Look. The main point is they're just net safe. They're a real menace, everyone of these things is an accident waiting to happen. Look at Chernobyl, for goodness' sake!

M: Yes, OK, I agree there's a risk. Of course there is. But it's minimal. With modern technology, nuclear reactors are much safer:

W: Much safer! You must be joking. No. Look at all that radioactive waste they're dumping into the sea and underground. Nobody re ally knows what'll happen long-terms.

M: That is a problem. Sure. But it's also true that nuclear energy is cheap and can produce electricity very quickly. Lots of countries have no alternatives. They don't have any oil, coal or anything. What are they supposed to do？

W: Oh, come on! There're lots of possibilities. Well, quite a few. We just haven't really looked at them seriously enough. There's solar energy, and wind power and, what's called wave power. We've still got a lot of coal.

W: Alright. But they'll all take time and money to develop. We need energy now and nuclear power is the best alternative.

M: Oh, I don't believe this. I reckon it's just crazy.

听力原文：M: So, what is your biology project about？W: It is about microorganisms that live

听力原文：M: So, what is your biology project about？

W: It is about microorganisms that live by chemosynthesis.

M: Err...what's chemosynthesis？

W: Well, it's pretty complicated. You know how most life on Earth depends either directly or indirectly on sunlight？

M: You mean like plants get energy directly from sunlight, and animals eat plants, so they depend indirectly on sunlight？

W: Right. But down on the ocean floor, there is no sunlight. In some places though, there are hydrothermal vents, which are small cracks on the ocean floor. And these vents release heat and minerals from the inside of the Earth into the seawater. And all along the vents there are these unusual microorganisms. They are called archaean. And these archaean use chemical reactions to get their energy from the minerals. The minerals that are released by the vents. So their energy comes from chemical reactions, not sunlight.

M: So chemosynthesis is getting their energy from chemicals？

W: That's right.

M: That makes archaean very different from other forms of life.

W: And their genetic makeup is very different, too. They are one sort of organisms just like bacteria are, but genetically they are as different from bacteria as we humans are.

M: Wah, that's a really interesting project.

(23)

A．How hydrothermal vents are formed.

B．How living things get energy from sunlight.

C．The harmful effects of certain chemicals in the ocean.

D．Microorganisms that get energy from chemical reactions.

听力原文：W: I've just been reading an article on biotherapy.

M: Biotherapy？ What's that？

W: Well, it's an alternative health system based on the concept that energy is transmitted from one human being to another in order to heal psychologically or physically through regeneration.

M: Say that again, in English.

W: Well, I'll put it this way. A trained practitioner touches the patient in order to help the healing process.

M: Oh, I see. What kinds of things do they cure？

W: A variety of conditions and illnesses. According to the article, biotherapy can help people to lose weight, stop headaches, make ageing skin look youthful again, treat depression, even cure cancer.

M: Cure cancer？ That's pretty ambitious claim. So how does the treatment work？

W: It expels negative energy from the organism.

M: I don't think that such a confusing explanation would stop me from taking proper medicine if I were un- lucky enough to be ill.

W: No, well, that's the beauty of it. You can have conventional medicine together with biotherapy. Fancy going for a bio-energetic check up？

M: Well, I'm not so sure about that. Supposing you book an appointment and I come with you first,just to see？

(26)

A．which can make you happy though heat regeneration.

B．which can make you healthy though heat transmitting.

C．which can cure you through heat transmitting.

D．which can cure you through regeneration.

听力原文： The average life of a hurricane is only about nine days, but it contains almost more power than we imagine. The energy in the heat released by a hurricane's rainfall in a single day would satisfy the entire electrical needs of the United States for more than six months. Water, not wind, is the main source of death and destruction in a hurricane. A typical hurricane brings 6- 12-inch downpours resulting in sudden floods. Worst of all is the powerful movement of the sea—the mountains of water moving toward the low-pressure hurricane center. The water level rises as much as 15 feet above normal as it moves toward shore.

A．6.

B．9.

C．12

听力原文：W: Everyone seems to be talking about climate change these days!

M: I'm not surprised. It's all these greenhouse gases--that's what's causing the problem!

W: What are the greenhouse gases？

M: You know, carbon dioxide, which comes mainly from the burning of fossil fuels, such as oil, gas and coal.

W: I've never understood why that's a problem.

M: Evidently these gases build up in the earth's atmosphere, and trap the heat from the sun.

W: And so this heat is warming the planet？

M: Exactly!

W: Well, isn't that good news？ I hate these cold winters we get!

M: Yes. But what's good for you here may not be so good for people elsewhere in the world. For the average world temperatures could rise. That can have a huge effect on local climates and ecosystems around the world,

W: So you really think that these floods we've seen m the news could be caused by global warming？

M: Sure! And also the droughts and the storms.

W: So what can we do about it？

M: It's not realistic to stop using fossil fuels today. But we can start trying to reduce carbon dioxide emissions.

W: And look for alternative sources of energy too, of course!

(1)

A．Droughts.

B．Floods.

C．Fossil fuels.

D．Global warming.

听力原文：M: I am really excited at the prospect of starting my coming holiday!

W: It sounds good. It's a good idea to have relaxation after working so long.

M: Yes. I've been looking forward to it for ages. It seems such a long time since I had a holiday.

W: Then, what do you plan for the coming holiday？

M: You know, I have two kids. Both of them are keen on the idea of going camping.

W: Sounds great! Children are often active and like to have an adventure.

M: Absolutely. I like the idea, too.

W: You haven't decided where to go yet？

M: No, not exactly. Going abroad requires a large sum of money and I cannot afford it at the moment. Most probably I will choose a place not far from here so that we can go on a cycling tour.

W: Twenty days will be enough for your family to enjoy yourselves.

M: It would be far better if we could have a longer holiday. The holiday will last only two weeks. So we must seize every day to relax ourselves.

W: Still, two weeks is not bad. At least you are luckier than I am. We seldom have holidays because the bank seldom provides holidays for people who work for it.

M: As a teacher, I always keep busy with my teaching work and other work in the school. But the holiday provided by the school is good enough to recover my lost energy and give me refreshment.

(23)

A．Hiking.

B．Having a picnic.

C．Camping.

D．Fishing.

听力原文：W: Welcome to our program. Today Prof. Johnson is going to talking about solar po

wer.

M: Thank you. As you can see, little by little, Americans are turning to solar power, tapping the strength of the sun for energy.

W: Yeah, that's true. Sunlight has already been used for heating or cooling homes and office buildings in the sunny south.

M: Experts say all signs point to the birth of the solar energy industry. Right now, an increasing number of companies are selling solar collector panels to heat and cool homes or to heat water. The glass and metal panels each cost from ＄100 to more than ＄500, and the three or four-bedroom home usually requires a dozen or more. They look like sandwiches. They are usually placed in rooftops. Nobody knows how many have been sold, and in addition, many people have built their own units. It has been estimated that solar power equipment will be a $1.3 billion industry by 1995, and more than a million homes will use sunlight for heat, air conditioning or to generate electricity, both in the cities and in countryside.

W: Wow! That is really big business.

What do we learn about the use of solar energy in the U. S. ？

A．It is very well established.

B．It is relatively new.

C．It is found in one million homes.

D．It is being rapidly expanded.

M: That' s funny. I' ve been eating the same as always.

W: I think maybe we should talk about diet.

M: Oh, well, I mean.., now I eat the things students usually eat at school.

W: The usual things？

M: Yeah, you know. In the morning, I grab a few doughnuts and a coffee on the way to school.

W: Uh - huh. And for lunch？

M: Uh, a couple of hot dogs, fries, and a Coke... maybe an ice cream on the way back.

W: And dinner？

听力原文：W: Exercise, exercise, exercise. We hear so much about it these days yet even the

experts can't agree on which exercises are best. Now some doctors are strongly encouraging arm exercises.

M: Ann exercises？ Is that because our arms are too fat and lacking energy？

W: Actually, tint's not the main reason. They say that arm exercises are an ideal way to become physically fit.

M: But don't arm exercises raise your blood pressure？

W: Yes they do. But the article I read mentioned ways to compensate for that.

M: How？

W: By adding leg exercise so the arms don't do all the work. It's said that the more of the body that's involved in the exercise, the better.

M: And in turn, I'm sure that there is a greater chance of losing weight.

W: Sounds right to me.

M: So, what exercises do the experts recommend？

W: They mentioned quite a few. But some of the more popular ones are cycling with special bicycles that make you use both your anus and legs, and walking energetically while you wear arm weights.

M: I must try that. I like to walk a lot.

(20)

A．They don't get rid of fat arms.

B．They can damage arm muscles.

C．They aren't acceptable to most people.

听力原文：M: Hello, professor Johnson.

W: Hello, Tony. So what shall we work on today？

M: Well, the problem is that this writing assignment isn't coming out right. What I thought I was writing on was to talk about what a particular sport means to me when I participate in.

W: What sport did you choose？

M: I decided to write about cross-country skiing.

W: What are you going to say about skiing？

M: That's the problem. I thought I would write about how peaceful it is to be out in the country.

W: So why is that a problem？

M: I'd like to start describing how quiet it is to be out in the woods. I keep mentioning how much effort it takes to keep going. Cross-country skiing isn't as easy as some people think. It takes a lot of energy, but that's not part of my paper, so I guess I should leave it out. But now I don't know how to explain that feeling of peacefulness without explaining how hard you have to work for it. It all fits together. It's not like just sitting down somewhere and watching the clouds roll by. That's different.

W: Then you'll have to include that in your point. The peacefulness of cross-country skiing is the kind you earn by effort. Why leave that out？ Part of your point you knew beforehand, but part you discovered as you wrote. That's common, right？

M: Yeah, I guess so.

Questions:

19. What is the topic of the man's writing assignment？

20. What problem does the man have while working on his paper？

21. What does the woman say is common in writing papers？

(20)

A．Beautiful scenery in the countryside.

B．Dangers of cross-country skiing.

C．Pain and pleasure in sports.

D．A sport he participates in.
