听力原文： In the next few decades people are going to travel very differently from the way they do today. Everyone is going to drive electrically powered cars. So in a few years people won't worry about running out of gas.

Some of the large automobile companies are really moving ahead with this new technology. F ＆ C Motors, a major auto company, for example, is holding a press conference next week. At the press conference the company will present its new, electronically operated models.

Transportation in the future won't be limited to the ground. Many people predict that traffic will quickly move to the sky. In the coming years, instead of radio reports about road conditions and highway traffic, news reports will talk about traffic jams in the sky.

But the sky isn't the limit. In the future, you'll probably even be able to take a trip to the moon. Instead of listening to regular airplane announcements, you'll hear someone say, "The spacecraft to the moon leaves in ten minutes. Please check your equipment. And remember, no more than ten ounces of carry-on baggage are allowed."

听力原文： Decreasing circulation has been a problem for newspapers for some years. The Internet is just the most recent competitor for people's time.
American media are privately owned. Newspapers get some of their money from renders. But mostly they depend on businesses to buy advertising space in their pages. The larger the circulation, the more a newspaper can charge advertisers. But recently, several newspapers have admitted lying about their number of readers.
The Tribune Company announced that it had overstated sales of two of its papers. These were Newsday and the Spanish-language paper Hoy. The Tribute Company also owns the Los Angeles Times and the Chicago Tribune. In July, the Audit Bureau of Circulations punished Newsday and Hoy. The two newspapers will have to report their circulation numbers more often than usual for the next two years.
Recently the Belo Corporation announced it had overstated the circulation of the Dallas Morning News, in Texas. The publisher will repay 23 million dollars to advertisers. It will also provide four million dollars in free advertising. Other publishers that falsely reported their circulations will also be repaying advertisers trillions of dollars.
An Audit Bureau spokeswoman says eases like these recent ones appear to be ram. But the Securities and Exchange Commission announced that it would expand its investigation to oilier newspapers.
(33)
A．The decreasing circulation of American newspapers.
B．The investigation on American newspapers.
C．The false circulation reports of American newspapers.
D．The punishment on American newspapers.

听力原文：W: May I help you？
M: Yes, [22] my wife and I want to take a vacation this winter to some place warmer.
W: I understand. How much time do you have？
M: Only a week between Christmas and the New Year. That is the problem, you see.
W: Oh, no problem at all. I can get you on a flight to sunny Spain and Portugal leaving on Christmas and coming back New Year's Eve. And it will only cost you $500 a round trip.
M: Only $500？ [23] We were thinking of something less. $1,000 is a lot to spend for such a short time. [23] If we had a month maybe, not just a week.
W: [24] Do you know about the Florida Fun tour the airline offers？ Everything is reserved for you. Your flight, a reserved hotel room, meals, and they even get you to and from the airport in Miami.
M: Actually we don't go in much for arranged tours. We like to do all that for ourselves.
W: Well, in that case, maybe we could just arrange your flight and the rest to you.
M: What else do you have to offer？ Florida is not exactly our idea of a great vacation. What about some place a little different where few tourists go？
W: Oh, some place like Arizona, right？ [25] Or maybe New Mexico？ Sunny, but quiet, relaxing.
M: Yeah, that sounds better—New Mexico. I'll talk to my wife about it and then return.
(23)
A．In a department store.
B．At a travel agency.
C．At an airport ticket counter.
D．At a hotel.

听力原文： In preparing a book, I asked several successful executives to tell me what they thought students should study if they wanted to succeed in business. They listed only a few technical subjects accounting and finance, for example. But time and again, these executives identified philosophy as one of the most important areas you can study for learning how to think in a disciplined, analytical, and imaginative way.
The way that philosophy helps you see the world is no less real than its practical benefits to your career. Studying philosophy exposes you to a wide range of problems that you wouldn't meet otherwise. It simply lets you see more of the world. It stretches your imagination. It challenges you to come up with your own answers to tough issues that do not have ready-made solutions.
Studying philosophy helps you to develop insight into some of life's great puzzles and to fashion your own vision of what life is all about. As you go through life, you will be challenged all along the way to make decisions about who you are and what's important to you. Philosophy helps you develop a sense of what life is all about and where you're going.
In fact, Socrates, one of the first great philosophers, thought that philosophy is the single most important element in making our lives worthwhile. "The unexamined life," he said, "is not worth living." In Socrates' mind, at least, philosophy makes it possible for us to control our own destiny.

A．A senior executive.
B．A professor.

M: Well, I'm trying to teach myself some French. When I go to Montreal next semester, I don't want to sound like just another tourist. Most of the people there are bilingual.
W: Leave Boston to go to Montreal？ I didn't know this university had a program in Canada.
M: It doesn't. I'm planning to take a short leave of absence from school, so I can go there on my own.
W: What's the reason for this sudden interest in Canada？ M: Well, actually I've been thinking about going for some time now. I know someone there who's been wanting me to visit.
W: A relative？
M: An old friend of my uncle's runs a chemical engineering department there. So, I'm hoping he can help me enroll in some interesting courses.
W: If you want those credits transferred back here later on, you'd better arrange for it before you leave. Don't forget what happened to Susan after she came back from Rome.
M: Yeah, but her situation was different. I already have all the credits I need to graduate.
W: So you'll be taking courses just for the sake of learning.
M: That will be a nice change of pace, won't it？

M: Don't forget I need it first thing in the morning. I have to take it along to Chicago to the regional meeting.
W: Don't worry, I'll get it done. My husband's on a business trip too. He's in Detroit today, and tomorrow he'll be in Boston. So I'm planning to stay late. After it's typed up I'll leave it on your desk. I should be finished by 8:00 pm.
M: I'm sorry to keep you so late.
W: It's all right, Mr. Black. I don't mind at all. Besides, I can use a little extra money. My husband's birthday is next month. I want to buy him a new watch.
M: What kind are you going to get him, a Bulova？
W: No. I thought I'd get a Rolex, or an Elgin. I don't really know much about watches.
M: I've got one of those Seiko digitals. I really like it.
W: Do you think my husband would like one like that？
M: I'm sure he would. The only problem is that it's a little bit heavy.

听力原文：W: Roger, any problems in your Korean study？
M: The biggest problem with me is the Korean vocabulary. It really makes me frustrated．The pronunciation and usage put me into great confusion as l keep forgetting them.
W: I guess first of all，you can narrow down the vocabulary sphere. I mean, try to learn “core” vocabulary，the words with high frequencies of occurrence.
M: That sounds quite reasonable. Do you think I can find in bookstores a book or dictionary where such kinds of words are listed？
W: Yes, definitely. Another thing, the first several occurrences of strange words ale very important words are remembered best if they are learnt quickly with a few presentations. You may not have much trouble in remembering swear words，may you？
M: No. They're very impressive and quite memorable. I don't even need to practice them.
W: That's it! For other words lat don't have such a strong effect, you have to make yourself highly attentive and sensitive. If not，later practice and repetition don't seem to work so well.
M: I see.
W: The last thing I'll say is that if you want to remember something for periods long than a year or two, you need to space the presentations over quite long intervals of days, say 30 days A more frequent interval doesn't promise you longer remembrance.
M: Really？ I have thought every word should be practiced as often as possible within a short time span.
W: No. How the word is practiced is much more important than how often it is practiced.
M: You really do me a great favor, Teresa.

听力原文： Yuppies are young people who earn a lot of money and live in a style. that is too expensive for most people. If you are invited to a yuppie dinner party, don't be surprised if you are offered freshly -cooked insects as a first course. While the idea of eating fried insects fills most of us with horror, insect eating is becoming highly fashionable. For example, in the media industry, successful executives are often seen to eat fried or boiled insets from time to time while working at their desks. These safe -to-eat insects can be found and ordered on the Internet. And young people are logging on to exotic food websites and ordering samples of prepared insects to serve at their dinner parties. Al- though the idea of eating insects is probably disgusting to most of us, few people would claim that pigs, chickens, and some kinds of seafood we often eat are examples of great duty. One day, insects could be marketed and sold as the food item in supermarkets. According to their fans, they are not only high in protein and low in fat, but also very tasty. But until our attitudes to food change fundamentally, it seems that insect-eaters will remain a selected few.
Why did the speaker say we might be surprised at a yuppie dinner party？
A．Because we might be offered a dish of insects.
B．Because nothing but freshly cooked insects are served
C．Because some yuppies like to horrify guests with insects as food.
D．Because we might meet many successful executives in the media industry.
