听力原文： Arthur Miller(1915-2005)is universally recognised as one of the greatest dramatists of the 20th century. Millers father had moved to the USA from Austria Hungary, drawn like so many others by the "Great American Dream". However, he experienced severe financial hardship when his family business was ruined in the Great Depression of the early 1930s. Millerss most famous play, Death of a Salesman, is a powerful attack on the American system, with its aggressive way of doing business and its insistence on money and social status as indicators of worth. In Willy Loman, the hero of the play, we see a man who has got into trouble with his worth. Willy is "burnt out" and in the cruel world of business there is no room for sentiment: if he cant do the work, then he is no good to his employer, the Wagner Company, and he must go. Willy is painfully aware of this, and at loss as to what to do with his lack of success. He refuses to face the fact that he has failed and kills himself in the end. When it was first staged in 1949, the play was greeted with enthusiastic reviews, and it won the Tony Award for Best Play, the New York Drama Critics Circle Award, and the Pulitzer Prize for a Drama. It was the first play to win all three of these major awards. Miller died of heart failure at his home in Roxbury, Connecticut, on the evening of February 10, 2005, the 56th anniversary of the first performance of Death of a Salesman on Broadway. Questions 22 to 25 are based on the passage you have just heard. 22. Why did Arthur Millers father move to the USA？ 23. What does the speaker say about the play Death of a Salesman？ 24.

听力原文： Tennis is an international sport and each year there is a regular program of tournaments and championships. Players' performance in these events determines their seeding, or world ranking. If you play or are interested in tennis it's always a good idea to watch the professionals in action. You'll start to see how they use tactics to outplay their opponents. It is also interesting to see how play differs on different court surfaces. Some players prefer the slow game of the clay courts, others excel at the high-speed play of the grass court.

Tennis has four "Grand Slam" Tournaments. These are the main world events, perhaps the greatest tournaments in sport attracting the world's finest players. The Grand Slam events are: the Australian Open—Melbourne, January; the French Open—Paris, June; the Wimbledon Championships—Wimbledon, June/July; and the US Open—New York, September.

Other top tennis tournaments are: the ATP Tour, WTA Tour, the Hopman Cup, the Davis Cup and the Masters Series.

The Lawn Tennis Championships at Wimbledon was first played in 1877, witnessed by only a few hundred spectators. Now this highly professional tournament attracts an audience of 500,000 and through the press, radio, Internet and television a following of millions throughout the world. The Tournament starts each year six weeks before the first Monday in August and lasts for a fortnight or for as long as necessary to complete all events.
