听力原文： England became a stronghold of the Protestant version of Christianity during the 16th Century. In thel7th century, the British people developed a system of government by parliament which was later copied in many other countries. During the18th Century, the great revolutions in farming and industry that later took place worldwide, began in Britain. Steam power, steam trains, coal mines and water power began to transform. the means of transport and production. The world's, first industrial cities grew in the Midlands. Then, in thel9th Century, the development of a massive British Empire brought power and wealth to the nation. By the time Queen Victoria took the throne in 1837, Britain had be come the world's greatest power.
Later on, in the 20th century, Britain played a vital part in saving Europe from the threat of Fascism during World War Two.
In1966, England won the Football World Cup and became World Champion. This is some thing many British people are very proud of.
Britain joined the European Community in 1973, but was still separated from mainland Europe. Finally, in 1994 the Channel Tunnel was opened, which links Britain back to the European continent.

During the discovery and settlement of what is now the United States, the flags of various European nations were flown over the land, as symbols of possession. Later, in the Colonial (殖民的) and Revolutionary War periods, flags representing famous persons, places, and events were flown in the American Colonies.
The first official flag of the United States was created by Congress (国会) on June 14, 1777. It consisted of 13 alternate red and white stripes and 13 white stars in a field of blue, representing the 13 colonies that had declared their independence in 1776. Congress adopted a new flag of 15 stars and 15 stripes in 1795, to give representation to the two new states admitted into the Union, Vermont and Kentucky.
By 1817, there were 20 states in the Union, and it became app.arent that adding one stripe for each new state would destroy the shape of the flag. As a result, Congress in 1818 restored the original design of 13 stripes and provided that each state was to be represented by one star. In 1912 President William H. Taft made the first official provision for the arrangement of the stars. He ordered that there be six even rows of eight stars each. Previously the arrangement of the stars had been left to the flagmaker's desire.
The evolution of the Stars and Stripes reflects the growth of the United States. After the admission of Hawaii into the Union in 1959, the flag was officially changed for the 26th time since its creation.
There are many government flags flown in the United States in addition to the national's flag. Among them are the president's and vice -president's flags and those of the federal departments and some federal agencies. Each state in the Union has an official flag.
Why were only the flags of various European nations flown over the land, during the discovery and settlement period？
A．Because the flags were older than the national flag of the U. S.
B．Because the land was divided by these nations.
C．Because there was no universal flag over the land.
D．We don't know from the passage.
His company has pioneered a method of testing consumer response to color which he claims can predict, with 90% accuracy, sales of a new product for up to 18 months after the launch. The method, "Chromtest", has been used to test everything from ladies' dresses to sunglasses. Clients include Parsifal Lager, Amir Fashions, Coloroll Wallpaper and Meadowcourt China.
Color, says Mr. Crowe, is critical in ensuring product acceptance. It is not merely a case of choosing an acceptable primary color -- shades, tones and texture can all have a bearing on the consumer's final choice.
"We could take 10 colors, each with six shades and virtually guarantee that two of the shades would be most popular with 80% of the people interviewed," he said. "Products are associated with lifestyle. most kitchens are now in wood so if you make toasters you don't want a color that is unsuitable." Mr. Crowe, a former lecturer at the Institute of Marketing, formed Scintilla in 1992 with the help of a $ 5,000 second mortgage. First year turnover was $100,000. This year with 30 staff it will be ten times that. Chromtest, which was developed with the help of Crowe's artist wife, Susanne, now accounts for around 70% of turnover and provides most of the profits.
Crowe admits that British companies still have their doubts, though he says a few retailers now insist that products are color screened before they are allowed on their shelves. He contrasts this with European manufacturers who commission over half the company's works.
European tests do vary dramatically, however, and Crowe argues that, as with branding, color and design for pan-European products carry numerous pitfalls. For example, a recent test of a brown dinner service in Britain, Germany and France shows that while consumers in the first two countries like the product, Parisians will not eat off brown plates.
Scintilla was the first company to
A．sell red and yellow roses.
B．measure customer response to color.
C．give lecturers on marketing.
D．develop a method to predict business turnover.
In 1929, under President Herbert Hoover, the Federal Farm Board was organized. It established the principle of direct interference with supply and demand, and it represented the first national commitment to provide greater economic stability for farmers.
President Hoover' s successor attached even more importance to this problem. One of the first measures proposed by President Franklin D. Roosevelt when the took office in 1933 was the Agricultural Adjustment Act, which was subsequently passed by Congress. This law gave the Secretary of Agriculture the power to reduce production through voluntary agreements with famers who were paid to take their land out of use. A deliberate scarcity of farm products was planned in an effort to raise prices. This law was declared unconstitutional by the Supreme Court on the grounds that general taxes were being collected to pay one special group of people. However, new laws were passed immediately that achieved the same result of resting soil and providing flood-control measures, but which were based on the principle of soil conservation. The Roosevelt Administration believed Administration believed that rebuilding the nation' s soil was in the national interest and was not simply a plan to help farmers at the expense of other citizens. Later the government guaranteed loans to farmers so that they could buy farm machinery, hybrid (杂交)grain, and fertilizers.
What brought about the decline in the demand for American farm products？
A．The impact of the Great Depression.
B．The shrinking of overseas markets.
C．The destruction caused by the First World War.
D．The increased exports of European countries.
With manufacturing in the doldrums across Europe and the U. S. , consumer spending has been increasingly seen as the best hope of stopping the global economic slowdown from turning into a recession. The French government said the news proved that the economy was holding up to the strain of the slowdown.
Meanwhile in Germany, new regional price figures went someway towards calming fears about inflation in Europe's largest economy -- a key reason for the European Central Bank's reluctance to cut interest rates 15 states said consumer prices were broadly stable, with inflation falling year on year. The information backed economists' expectations that inflation for the country as a whole is set to fall back to a yearly rate of 2.1%, compared to a yearly rate of 2.6% in August, closing in on the Euro-wide target of 2%. The drop is partly due to last year's spike in oil prices dropping out of the year-on-year calculation.
The icing on the cake was news that Italy's job market has remained buoyant. The country's July unemployment rate dropped to 9.4% from 9.6% the month before, its lowest level in more than eight years. And a business confidence survey from quasi-governmental research group ISAE told of a general pick-up in demand in the six weeks to early September. But the news was tempered by an announcement by Alitalia, the country's biggest airline, that it will have to get rid of 2,500 staff to cope with the expected contraction as well as selling 12 aeroplanes. And industrial group Confindustria warned that the attacks on U. S. targets meant growth will be about 1.9% this year, well short of the government's 2.4% target. And it said the budget deficit will probably be about 1.5%, nearly twice the 0.8% Italy's government has promised its European Union partners.
We know from the first paragraph that ______.
A．new figures from the three European countries show the prediction of forecasters is exactly right
B．European economy gets on better than forecasters have predicted
C．all of the forecasters expect the fully figure to show a reduction
D．in three European countries the consumer spending continues to rise
听力原文： The European Union has drafted a list of US products to be hit with import taxes in retaliation for tariffs the US has imposed on European steel. EU member governments will review the list before the EU submits it to the World Trade Organization which arbitrates international trade disputes. EU officials will not say which American products will be hit by the EU sanctions. But diplomats monitoring the most recent trans Atlantic trade dispute say they include textiles and steel products. Earlier this month, the Bush administration imposed tariffs of about 30% on some steel imports including European products. The EU has appealed to the WTO to get those duties verturned. But the WTO decision on the matter will take up to a year or more. EU officials say that under WTO rules, the EU has the right to impose retaliatory measures in June, but they say the US can avoid the EU's possible counter-measures if it pays more than 2 billion dollars in compensation to the EU for imposing the steel tariffs in the first place. The officials say Washington could also escape retaliation by lowering US import duties on other EU products. The Bush administration says it will not pay compensation.
The trade dispute between the European Union and the US was caused by ______.
A．US refusal to accept arbitration by WTO.
B．US imposing tariffs on European steel.
C．US refusal to pay compensation to EU.
D．US refusal to lower import duties on EU products.
听力原文： As you probably know, log structures are gaining popularity. They are no longer just the simple country homes that we think of as the traditional log cabin. Some upscale homes now incorporate natural round logs in sealing beams and walls. People seem to think that the rounded logs give their homes a cozy warm atmosphere. And even people who want to build a traditional log cabin on their own can buy a kit with precut logs that fit together like pieces of lig-saw puzzle. Before showing you some slides of modem log houses, I'd like to give you a little historical background on the subject.
Log cabins were first built in the late 1600s along the Delaware river valley. The European immigrants who settled there brought centuries' old traditions of working with logs. And in this heavily wooded area logs were the material in hand. Log cabins were the most popular in the early 1800s with the settlers who were moving west. They provided the answer to the pioneer's need for a sale and sliding boards for windows. But the log buildings that have probably had most influence on modern architects are those of the mountain retreats of wealthy New Yorkers. These country houses which were popular in the early 1900s typify what's known as the Adoroundyx style. Now let's look at those slides.
What is the speaker mainly discussing？
A．Traditional European architecture.
B．Techniques for building log cabins.
C．The history of log structures.
D．How to build a home by yourself.
