听力原文:A leading expert on ancient mountain cultures has a theory about a man who died m

ore than 5000 years ago. The man's body was found in a piece of ice high in the Alps in northern Italy in 1991. Newspapers called him the Iceman.

Two German climbers discovered the Iceman more than 3000 meters above sea level. Ice had protected the body for thousands of years. It was the oldest and best preserved ancient body ever found. When the Iceman was discovered, some scientists suggested that he had fallen asleep and died in the snow or was killed in a fall. A bow and arrows were found with the Iceman. This led some people to believe that he died while hunting animals.

Recently, scientists announced the cause of death. The scientists used X-rey equipment to produce images of the Iceman's upper chest. They found an arrowhead under the left shoulder. Scientists said he was killed by an arrow that tore through his back. They thought the killing might have been either a murder or an offering to the gods. The body was found in a long, narrow area between two of the highest mountains in the Alps. This is the kind of place where people from mountain cultures traditionally made offerings to their gods.

What is the passage mainly about?

(33)

A.The discovery of the Iceman's body.

B.The cause of the Iceman's death.

C.The murder of the Iceman.

D.The mountain people's offerings to their gods.

听力原文:The Revolution resulting in America was the most significant event in American hi

听力原文: The Revolution resulting in America was the most significant event in American history. This country would not be here without it. The Revolution led to the making of the American Constitution. The constitution set up a basis upon which the most powerful nation in the world would grow. The Civil War is also one of the most influential events that helped to shape the United Slates. The division of the industrial North and slave-owning South resulted in the Civil War. If the South had won, the entire nation right now would be completely different. Half of our population would not have its freedom. No black person would ever have a high position in the government, such as mayor. Every single person's life would be completely different had the Civil War never occurred.

Time Magazine listed the one hundred most important events in American History. They included going to the moon, Watergate, World War Two, AIDS, the Industrial Revolution, and so on. However, at the very top of their list as number one was the atomic bomb. Some people agree with this, while others disagree. Some say that the bombing of Hiroshima was the most influential event in American History. Having this military power established the United States as the leading world country. Hiroshima ended World War Two and appointed America as the most powerful country on the entire earth; however, it leads to severe problems in the future. If there ever is a World War Three, no living thing on this earth would survive. As for now, some people believe that America is the leading country because of its advantage at the end of World War Two.

(33)

A.Wall Street Journal.

B.National Enquirer.

C.USA Today.

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:Economics and weather have a lot in common. Knowing what conditions will be like
weeks or months in the future is not easy. One thing that helps economists predict the future is the index of leading economic indicators.

An index is a way to measure changes in a group of numbers over time. In financial markets, for example, an index of stocks will rise or fall with changes in the wider market. The changes measured by an index can be represented with a single percentage. The index may start at a base period of time with a value of one hundred. Now say that a month later the value is recorded as one hundred one. That means it gained one percent. If the index lost one percent, however, the value would be ninety nine.

The leading economic indicators are really ten indexes. Four deal with manufacturing activity. One deals with unemployment claims, Another measures people's expectations of the economy. Still others involve financial information like the money supply and interest rates. The index of leading indicators is just one of the tools used to measure the business cycle. A measure called the coincident index provides information about current conditions. Employment rates are an important part of it. There is also a lagging index. It helps confirm economic changes that currently appear to be taking place. Interest rates are an important lagging indicator.

Why is economics comparable to weather according to the passage?

(30)

A.Because economics is as irregular as weather.

B.Because economics is as important as weather to our daily life.

C.Because economics condition can be judged according to weather.

D.Because it is not easy to predict the future condition of economics.

听力原文:Do you have trouble sleeping at night? Then maybe this is for you.When you worry

听力原文: Do you have trouble sleeping at night? Then maybe this is for you.

When you worry about needing sleep and toss and turn trying to find a comfortable position, you're probably only making matters worse. What happens when you do that is that your heart rate actually increases, making it more difficult to relax.

You may also have some had habits that contribute to the problem. Do you rest frequently during the day? Do you get virtually no exercise, or do you exercise vigorously late in the day? Are you worried about sleep, or do you sleep late on weekends? Any or all of these factors might be leading to your insomnia by upsetting your body's natural rhythm.

What should you do then, n those sleepless nights? Don't bother with sleeping pills. They can actually cause worse insomnia later. The best thing to do is drink milk or eat cheese. These are rich in amino acids and help produce a neurotransmitter in the brain that induces sleep. This neurotransmitter will help you relax, and you'll be on your way to getting a good night's sleep.

Until tomorrow's broadcast, this has been another in the series "Hints for Good Health".

(23)

A.Avoid getting exercise during the day.

B.Exercise regularly.

C.Sleep late when you feel like it.

D.Think of sleep all the time.
