听力原文：Many American women believe breast cancer is the biggest threat to their health.

听力原文： Many American women believe breast cancer is the biggest threat to their health. But more than ten times as many women die of diseases of the heart and blood vessels. (30) The American Heart Association has new guidelines to help prevent heart attacks. For example, the guidelines urge women not to use hormone replacement therapy as a way to protect the heart. The guidelines also urge women to know their risk of heart attack or heart disease. They suggest that a woman talk to her doctor about this beginning as young as the age of twenty.

(31) The heart association Web site has information that can help people measure their level of risk. Users answer some questions. They enter their age and whether or not they smoke etc. A total score below ten percent is considered low risk. This means that a woman has less than a ten percent chance of a heart attack in the next ten years. The next level of ten to twenty percent is considered intermediate risk. More than twenty percent is high risk. (32) The heart association says those at high risk should ask their doctor for medicine. Women are also urged to ask for treatment if their blood pressure is one-hundred-forty over ninety or higher. The guidelines say women at intermediate or high risk should consider taking an aspirin each day. Aspirin may reduce the risk of a heart attack.

(31)

A．It has invented a new medicine.

B．It has provided a new guideline of prevention.

C．It has arranged the treatment for the women.

D．It distributed the medicines among women.

听力原文：M: British English and American English are really about the same, aren't they？

W: I don't think so. It seems to the that some of the spellings are different. Words like theater and center end in r-e in England instead of in e-r like we spell them. There are more, examples like the word color. In fact, many words which end in o-r in American English are spelled o - u - r in British English.

M: I'm still not convinced. I mean, if someone comes here from England, we can all understand what he's saying. The spelling, doesn't really matter that much.

W: Okay. Are we just talking about spelling？ Arc there some differences in pronunciation and meaning too？

M: Well, in fact I remember seeing an English movie where the actors kept calling their apartment a flat. Half of the movie was over before I realized what they were talking about. So there are slight differences in spelling and some vocabulary.

W: And pronunciation, too. You aren't going to tell me that you sound like Richard Burton.

M: Richard Barton isn't English.

W: Okay. Anyway, the pronunciation is different. I think that what we are really disagreeing about is the extent of the difference．We all agree that British English and American English are different，right"

听力原文：In many societies women ere not treated as the equals of men. In some societies w

听力原文： In many societies women ere not treated as the equals of men. In some societies women must always obey the men in their lives. Other societies deny women basic equality in education, in employment, and politics. For example, in Liechtenstein, a small country in Western Europe, woman still do not have the right to vote. In the U.S. discrimination against women perhaps is not as clear as it is in some other parts of the world, but it exists. In 1971, for example, 90% of elementary school teachers were women. However, 80% of elementary school principals were men. In the same year only 7% of American doctors were women,

In the late 1960s, women's organizations began to demand an end to sex discrimination. They were quite successful. Today there are a number of laws that protect the fights of women. The women's organizations are also trying to change people's ideas about woman and about their place in society. This is a very difficult goal. New laws can perhaps change people's behavior, but they cannot always change people's ideas. As a result, the changes in ideas are slower; however, there is evidence that they are taking place.

(30)

A．Women enjoy equal fights in America.

B．Discrimination against women still exists in America.

C．Women should be allowed to vote for their leaders.

D．Women are inferior to men in managing school affairs.

听力原文：W: First of all, when do people start work in American offices？

M: Well, the official work day starts at 9:00 a.m. This should really mean 9 o'clock -- not ten past nine.

W: Would you say that people work very hard in offices in America？

M: In America one is being paid for his or her time. So employees are expected to find other work if their own desks are

clear, or to help someone else with his or her work. But you never sit idle, or doing nothing.

W: Yes, as the saying goes: "time is money".

M: Exactly. Your employer "owns" your time while he is paying you for it. And anyway the boss doesn't ask more of you than he

is doing himself: he... he will probably work through the lunch hour himself and even take work home at night.

W: Er... could you say something about contracts of hiring in America, please？

M: Well, it's different in America from, say Europe, I'm not sure. We are more democratic. It means perhaps that we won't

develop such a permanent relationship between employer and employee.

W: You mean that your employer can just fire you in America.'？

M: No, no, no. There are, of course, legal protections in the USA. So employees cannot be unjustly fired without good reason.

W: Oh, talking about coffee breaks.

M: Ha-ha, nearly all offices have mid-morning and mid-afternoon coffee breaks. But you should remember that although 15

minutes are allowed twice a day for relaxation and chatter, many employees take coffee to their desks and keep on working.

(27)

A．At half past eight.

B．At half past nine.

C．At nine o'clock.

D．At ten o'clock.

听力原文：W: Have you read the latest Tom Clancy's book？

M: No, I haven't. But I hear it's a best seller.

W: That's what I hear. I haven't read it either, but it has been on the New York Times' best seller list for three weeks now. I've been meaning to stop by a bookstore and get it.

M: I really like his books, but I usually wait until they come out in the paperback edition. I hate to pay the price of the hardback version.

W: Do you think they will make a movie out of this one？ The movies based on his other books have been very successful.

M: I wonder if their success is due to the nature of his hero.

W: Jack Ryan？

M: Yes. He is so "all American", just the type of person that we all think a good American should be.

W: I think you might be right. We see so many characters in books and movies that are anything but admirable that it is refreshing to have the here be a good, clean, honest family man.

M: I guess the excitement and intrigue he builds into his stories are another reason we all like to read them.

W: Maybe those are the reasons. At any rate, millions of people read every book he writes.

M: Including us.

(27)

A．The man.

B．The woman.

C．Both of the two.

D．Neither of them.
