听力原文： Americans like to laugh and make jokes, especially practical jokes. These jokes, intended to trick or deceive people in some harmless way, and are always popular. In the United States and a few other countries the first day of April, April Fool's Day, is a day devoted to such harmless practical jokes and an excuse for every American to fool his friends and neighbors.

When I was a college student, our daily college newspaper, which was read by most of the people who lived in the city near the college as well as by students, always had a special April Fool's Edition. One year the paper said that a beautiful park in the center of the campus was to be turned into a parking lot.

Another year the paper falsely reported that a Russian submarine had been seen in the lake which is on the campus. It was surprising that many people believed these stories. But probably the most successful practical being invaded by people from Mars. His description of this invasion from outer space was so realistic that he caused a panic and was actualy responsible for the deaths of several people.

(30)

A．A joke played on the April Fool's Day.

B．A harmless joke intended to trick people.

C．An American joke.

D．A joke in college newspapers.

听力原文： Most Americans don't like to get advice from members of their families. When they need advice, they don't usually ask people they know. Instead many Americans write letters to newspapers and magazines, they can get advice on many different subjects, such as family problems, the use of language, health, cooking, child care, clothes, and how to buy a house or a car.

Most newspapers print letters from readers with problems. There are answers written by doctors, lawyers or educators. But two of the most famous writers of advice are women without special training for this kind of work. One of them is called "Dear Abby" by readers and the other is called "Dear Ann Landers". Experience is their preparation for giving advice.

听力原文： For several years, Americans have enjoyed teleshopping—watching TV and buying things by phone. Now teleshopping is starting in Europe. In a number of European countries, people can turn on their TVs and shop for clothes, food, toys and many other things. Teleshopping is becoming popular in Sweden, for example, the biggest Swedish company sells different kinds of things on TV in European countries, and in one year it made $100 million. In France there are two teleshopping channels, and the French spend about $20 million a year to buy things through those channels.

In Germany, until last year teleshopping was only possible on one channel for 1 hour every day. Then the government allowed more teleshopping. Other channels can open for telebusiness, including the largest American teleshopping company and a 24 hour teleshopping company. German businesses are hoping this new teleshopping will help them sell more things. Some people would like teleshopping because it allows them to do their shopping without leaving their homes. With all the problems of traffic in the cities, this is an important reason. But at the same time, other Europeans do not like the new way of shopping. They call teleshopping "junk on the air."

(33)

A．Sweden.

B．France.

C．Spain.

D．Germany.

听力原文：More and more people are immigrating into the United States. The growing numbers

听力原文： More and more people are immigrating into the United States. The growing numbers of new immigrants have caused some tensions. Asian-Americans are concerned about a number of anti Asian incidents in the last five years. Some of the incidents involved racial insults. Some involved violence.

The United States Civil Rights Commission reported last autumn that anti-Asian violence is a national problem. Social experts say some Americans are looking for someone to blame for the country's economic problems. These people believe Japan is responsible for the trade imbalance and loss of industrial jobs. So they blame anyone who, to them, looks like Japanese... or simply Asian. This feeling is strongest, experts say, among poorer Americans who are struggling for survival.

Partly because of this problem, Asian-Americans are becoming more politically active. They are speaking out against anti-Asian violence and against policies based on anti-Asian feelings.

Traditionally, Asians have taken little part in politics in the United States. They put their energy into hard work and taking care of their families. Now, a movement for more political power has begun.

Asian-American politicians say the reason is mainly the desire for political representation. They say all Asian Americans do not share the same political goals, but share a desire to end all forms of racism. These political leaders would like to see more Asian-Americans in political life. California politician Jule Tang believes that Asian-Americans will become a united political force with their own elected officials. Ms. Tang says, "Asians want to be really part of the American system."

(33)

A．Some Americans look down upon Asian-Americans.

B．Some Americans blame China for the trade imbalance.

C．Some Americans blame Japanese for the trade imbalance and loss of jobs.

D．Americans think that they lost their jobs because Asian-Americans have taken the job places.

听力原文：Cars are an important part of life in the United States. Without a car most of pe

听力原文： Cars are an important part of life in the United States. Without a car most of people feel that they are poor. And even if a person is poor he doesn't feel really poor when he has a car.

Henry Ford was the man who first started making cars in large numbers. He probably didn't know how much the car was going to affect American culture. The ear made the United States a nation on wheels. And it helped make the United States what it is today.

There are three main reasons why the car became so popular in the United States. First of all the country is a huge one and Americans like to move around in it. The car provides the most comfortable and cheapest form. of the transportation.

The second reason is the fact that the United States never really developed an efficient and inexpensive form. of public transportation. Long-distance trains have never been as common in the United States as they are in other parts of the world.

The third reason is the most important one, though. The American spirit of independence is what really made cars popular. Americans don't like to wait for a bus, or a train or even a plane. They don't like to follow an exact schedule. A car gives them the freedom to schedule their own time. And this is the freedom that Americans want most to have.

(30)

A．When they don't have a job.

B．When they don't have a car.

C．When they can't afford a house.

D．When they live in a large city.

听力原文： Cars are an important part of life in the United States. (29) Without a car most people feel that they are poor. And even if a person is poor he doesn't feel really poor when he has a car. The car made the United States a nation on wheels. And it helped make the United States what it is today. There are three reasons the car became so popular in the United States. First of all the country is a huge one and Americans like to move around in it. The car provides the most comfortable and cheapest form. of transportation. With a car people can go any place without spending a lot of money. The second reason that cars are popular is the fact that the United States never really developed an efficient and inexpensive form. of public transportation.

And this is the freedom that Americans want most to have. (31) The gas shortage has caused a big problem for Americans. But the answer will not be a bigger system of public transportation.

B．When they live in a huge country.

C．When they don't use planes.

D．when they have a car.
