听力原文：W: Good evening, Mr. Brown, and welcome to the program.

M: Thank you!

W: I wonder if you could tell listeners more about the work you do？

M: Certainly.

W: Mr. Brown, I gather that you work for a company developing software for reading electronic books？

M: That is so.

W: Do you think there is much future in that？

M: Well, people buy music online, so why not books？

W: You have to read electronic books on a machine, don't you？

M: That is so, although of course you might be able to print them out on a printer.

W: So why should people read a book on an expensive machine when they can buy a cheap copy and carry it around with them and read it whenever they like？

M: That is an interesting point. People need time to become aware of the value of e-books.

W: Is it true that at the Frankfurt Book Fair, in 2000, there was a prize for the best books published in electronic form？

M: Yes, that is true, the prize was worth $100,000.

W: Who put up the money for the prize？

M: Err, software companies such as Microsoft and Adobe.

W: I suppose they are trying to encourage publishers to get the e-book business off the ground.

M: That's probably true.

(23)

A．At a television studio.

B．On a radio program.

C．In a job interview.

D．In a factory.

M: How do you do？

W: I'm Lily from Beijing.

M: Oh, it's great to meet you, Lily.

W: I'm also glad to meet you. Please come this way. That's our car. Your baggage can go in the boot.

M: Good.

W: Is this your first visit to Beijing？

M: This is my first visit to China. It has been my long-cherished desire to pay a visit to your beautiful country.

W: You're going to stay in Beijing for...

M: Five days. And then I have to fly to Xi'an.

W: Good. Xi'an is too good a place for you to miss.

M: Right. My wife will be waiting for me in Hong Kong. But on my way to Hong Kong I will go to Guilin first.

W: That's a wonderful idea. Well, Mr. Robertson, were you born in Australia？

M: No, I was born in London.

W: No wonder I can understand you quite well.

M: Yes, I speak British English with a bit of Australian accent.

A．One.

B．Two.

C．Three.

D．Four.

听力原文：M: Welcome to my house!

W: Well, Mr. Robinson, I' m greatly surprised with all the work you've done on your house. (19)How long have you been working on it？

M: (19)I first became engaged in Do-it-yourself work several years ago. You see, my son Paul is disabled since childhood. (21)He's always in the wheelchair and(20)I just had to make some changes for him to the house.

W: Then, what sort of changes did you make？

M: First of all, some practical things to help Paul. Just imagine the problems a disabled person would have in your house. We need a large house with wide corridors so that Paul could move from one room to another as he like.

W: What else did you do？

M: By the time I'd altered everything for Paul, Do-it—yourself work had become a hobby of mine. I really enjoyed doing things with my own hands.

W: What are you working on now？

M: I've just finished the kitchen. (21)Now I'm building an extension so that Paul will have a large room on the ground floor where he can work.

W: I heard that you have got a prize of $10 000 in the Do-it-yourself Competition. How are you going to spend it？

M: (22)I'm hoping to start my oven business soon so that I can convert ordinary houses for disabled people. I think I've become an expert on the subject.

(23)

A．For several months.

B．For seven years.

C．For a year or two.

D．For several years.

听力原文： W: Mr. Glieberman, do you see any change in the high rate of broken marriages？

M: The divorce rate is beginning to level off and probably will begin to drop in the next year or two, though not significantly. The tight economy has made it more difficult for troubled couples to handle all the costs associated with setting up separate households. Also, I believe there's a comeback of thought—after the turbulent '60s and '70s—that the family does have value. In the midst of change and family disintegration, people seem to have a greater desire now to create stability in their lives.

W: What is the divorce rate now？

M: About 1 in 3 marriages ends in divorce, a ratio far higher than it was 20 years ago when the philosophy was "We'll tough it out no matter what. Society demands that, for appearances' sake, we stay together."

Divorce no longer carries much disgrace. There's no way, for example, that Ronald Reagan, a divorced man, could have been elected President in 1960. And there are countless other divorced politicians who years ago would have been voted out of office if they had even considered a divorce, let alone gotten one.

The same was true in the corporate structure, where divorced people rarely moved up the executive ladder. Now corporations welcome a divorced man, because they can shift him around the country without worrying about relocating his family or making certain that they are happy.

Which word best describes the lawyers' prediction of the change in divorce rate？

A．Fall

B．Rise

C．V-shape

D．Zigzag

听力原文

W: Good evening, and welcome to this week’s “Business World,” the program for and about

businesspeople. Tonight we have Mr. Steven Kane who has just taken over an established

bicycle shop. Tell us, Mr. Kane, what made you want to run your own store？ M: Well, I’ve

always loved racing bikes and fixing them. When I was working full-time as a salesman for a

big company, I seldom had time to enjoy my hobby. I knew then that as soon as I had enough

money to get my own business going, I’d do it. I had my heart set on it, and I didn’t let

anything stand in my way. When I went down to the bank and got a business loan, I knew I’d

love being my own boss. Now my time is my own. I open the store when I want and leave when

I want. W: You mean you don’t keep regular hours？ M:Well, the sign on my store says the

hours are 10:00 to 6:00, but if business is slower than usual, I can just lock up and take

off early. W: Have you hired any employees to work with you yet？ M: Yeah, a couple of

friends of mine who love biking as much as I do. They help me out a few days a week. It’s

great because … we play cards or just sit around and talk when there’re no customers. W:

Thank you, Mr. Kane. We wish you success in your new business.

Questions 13 to 16 are based on the conversation you have just heard.

A.Having her bicycle repaired.
