听力原文：Listener: Hello, Professor, can you hear me？
Professor W: Yes, we can hear you fine.
Listener: My name is Humphries, Albert Humphries, and I live in Balham, in London.
Professor W: Yes, good evening Mr. Humphries. What is your question'？
Mressor H: I've been studying Spanish for some years, i go to Spain on holiday sometimes. I've learnt quite a lot of grammar and vocabulary. But I find it very difficult to speak, and when I went to Spain this summer, I couldn't understand the Spanish people at all. I got really disheartened.
Professor W: Yes, it is a problem. How long have you been studying Spanish？
Mressor H: About four years.
Professor W: Yes, how exactly？ Going to an evening class, using tapes...？
Mressor H: I've been going to an evening class and I've watched quite a lot of the BBC television programs.
Professor W: Oh, yes. They're very good. Did you buy the BBC book？
Mrcssor H: No, we use different book in the class. But I watched the programs.
Professor W: Yes, I see_Mr. Humphries, I always think that learning a language is rather like learning to drive. Now, you couldn't learn to drive a car by sitting in a classroom or watching television. I think what you need is a lot of practice in using the language.
Mressor H: That' s all very well if you live in the country where they speak the language, but I don't.
Professor W: Yes, I understand the problem. Though even if you live in the country where the language is spoken, you have to reach a certain standard before you are able to have conversations with the natives. I was thinking perhaps you might arrange with another student or other students to have regular conversation practice.
Mressor H: But the other students make the same mistakes as i do.
Professor W: I think you're confusing learning with practicing. Remember what I said about driving a car. Learning to speak means being able to put together the right groups of words and to say them in a reasonably accurate way.
Mressor H: And what about learning to understand real Spanish？
Professor W: Well, again, you need practice in hearing the Spanish language spoken by Spanish speakers. There are Spanish speakers in London. Get one of them to read some extracts from a Spanish newspaper onto a cassette. Have you got a cassette recorder？
Mressor H: Yes.
Professor W: Then you want to listen and listen and listen to the recordings until you almost know them by heart, just as if you were learning to drive, you'd practice parking the car, over and over again, till you could do it perfectly. Learning to speak a language is a very hard business. You don't need a huge vocabulary. You need a small vocabulary that you can use really efficiently, and to be able to do that you need a lot of practice.
How has Mr. Humphries been learning Spanish？
A．He has been going to an evening class and made many foreign friends.
B．He has watched quite a lot of DVD.
C．He has listened to the BBC radio programs.
D．He has been going to an evening class and has watched quite a lot of the BBC TV programs.
听力原文：M: You're not still watching television, are you？
W: I enjoy your television--I'll have to watch lots more while I'm here. The camera-work was very good. It looked like the work of real experts. Er... how long has television been going in Britain？
M: Oh, since 1936.
W: Ah!
M: Only in the London area at that time, though. There wasn't any television during the Second World War. It started up again afterwards. The BBC was the organization responsible for it.
W: What do the initials BBC stand for？
M: British Broadcasting Corporation. It's a public corporation. It isn't controlled by the government, but it's not a private company either. That means that the government can't use the BBC for propaganda purpose, and nor can private individuals or firms.
W: Is there any advertising？
M: Not on the BBC, ITV gets its money from advertising, though.
W: ITV？
M: ITV stands for Independent Television. It was started in 1954 again in the London area. It covers the whole country now, though.
W: What do people think of the advertisements on television？
M: It depends. A lot of people think it's a good idea because it means that television can pay its way--the ITV gets all its money from the advertisements.
W: What about the BBC？
M: You have to pay a TV license of ￡7 a year that goes to the BBC. Or ￡ 12 for color. A lot of people don't like having to pay and wish that there were advertisements on the BBC too. On the other hand, other people hate TV advertising because they think it's an insult to their intelligence.
