听力原文：Girl: Hi, Ben! Only one more week at college, and then the summer holidays begin.

Great, isn't it!

Boy: I don't know. It might get a bit boring. I don't think I've got enough money to go anywhere nice for a holiday this year.

Girl: It would be nice to have lots of money to spend but a good holiday doesn't have to be expensive!

Boy: Oh yes it does! The best holiday I ever had was a few years ago when I went to Greece. I want to fly off somewhere hot, and lie on the beach and go swimming.

Girl: Yes, well, I can't afford to do that, either.

Boy: So what are you doing this summer？

Girl: I'm going on a walking holiday in Scotland with some friends. We went last year, and we really enjoyed it. We walked all day and spent the nights in Youth Hostels. Why don't you come with us？ We're going for two weeks. It won't cost much, and you'll come home feeling really relaxed and fit.

Boy: I'm not sure. Walking all day sounds like hard work to me. And surely you're not hoping for lots of sunshine in Scotland？

Girl: It did rain a bit last year, but most of the time it was sunny. Anyway, it's not good walking in the heat. You have to stop all the time to rest and have drinks.

Boy: Well, I like the sun, and I like to stay in comfortable hotels, not Youth Hostels!

Girl: But they are comfortable. They're basic, and the food's often not very good, but they're very clean and cheap. In fact I prefer them to hotels because the people are always so friendly.

Boy: Maybe. Look Lisa, thanks a lot for asking me, but I think I'll just stay home and get bored!

•Look at the six sentences for this part.

•You will hear a conversation between a girl, Lisa, and a boy, Ben, about holidays.

•Decide if each sentence is correct or incorrect.

Lisa thinks you can enjoy a holiday without spending a lot.

In a country that defines itself by ideals, not by shared blood, who should be allowed to

come, work and live here？ In the wake of the Sept. 11 attacks these questions have seemed more pressing.

On Dec. 11, 2001, as part of the effort to increase homeland security, federal and local authorities in 14 states staged "Operation Safe Travel "--raids on airports to arrest employees with false identification(身份证明). In Salt Lake City there were 69 arrests. But those captured were anything but terrorists, most of them illegal immigrants from Central or South America. Authorities said the undocumented workers' illegal status made them open to blackmail(讹诈)by terrorists.

Many immigrants in Salt Lake City were angered by the arrests and said they felt as if they were being treated like disposable goods.

Mayor Anderson said those feelings were justified to a certain extent. "We're saying we want you to work in these places, we're going to look the other way in terms of what our laws are and then when it's convenient for us, or when we can try to make a point in terms of national security, especially after Sept. 11, then you're disposable. There are whole families being uprooted for all of the wrong reasons," Anderson said.

If Sept, 11 had never happened, the airport workers would not have been arrested and could have gone on quietly living in America, probably indefinitely. Ana Castro, a manager at a Ben & Jerry's ice cream shop at the airport, had been working 10 years with the same false Social Security card when she was arrested in the December airport raid. Now she and her family are living under the threat of deportation(驱逐出境). Castro's case is currently waiting to be settled. While she awaits the outcome, the government has granted her permission to work here and she has returned to her job at Ben & Jerry's.

According to the author, the United States claims to be a nation ______.

A．composed of people having different values

B．encouraging individual pursuits

C．sharing common interests

D．founded on shared ideals

Questions 62 to 66 are based on the following passage.

In a country that defines itself by ideals, not by shared blood, who should be allowed to come work and live here？ In the wake of the Sept. 11 attacks these questions have never seemed more pressing.

Robert Spring, a 19th-century forger, was so good at his job that he was able to make his

living for 15 years by selling false signatures of famous Americans. Spring was born in England in 1813 and arrived in Philadelphia in 1858 to open a bookstore. At first he made some money by selling his small but real collection of early US autographs. Discovering his ability at copying handwriting, he began imitating signatures of George Washington and Ben Franklin and writing them on the title pages of old books. In order not to be found out, he sent his forgeries to England and Canada for sale.

Forgers have a hard time selling their products. A forger can't go to a respectable buyer but must deal with people who don't have much knowledge in the field. Forgers have many ways to make their work look real. For example, they buy old books to use the aged paper of the title page, and they can treat paper and ink with chemicals.

In Spring's time, fight after the Civil War, Britain was still fond of the southern states. So, Spring invented a respectable lady known as Miss Fanny Jackson, the only daughter of General "Stonewall" Jackson. For several years Miss Fanny's financial problems forced her to sell a great number of letters belonging to her famous father. Spring had to work very hard to satisfy the demand. All this activity did not prevent Spring from dying in poverty.

Why did Spring sell his false autographs in England and Canada？

A．There was a greater demand there than in America.

B．There was less chance of being discovered there.

C．Britain was Spring's birthplace.

D．The prices were higher in England and Canada than the ones in America.

Watching Microcurrents Flow

We can now watch electricity as it flows through even the tiniest circuits. By scanning the magnetic field generated as electric currents flow through objects, physicists have managed(46). The technology will allow manufacturers to scan microchips for faults, as well as revealing microscopic defects in anything from aircraft to banknotes.

Gang Xiao and Ben Schrag at Brown University in Providence, Rhode Island, visualize the current by measuring subtle changes in the magnetic field of an object and(47)

Their sensor is adapted from an existing piece of technology that is used to measure large magnetic fields in computer hard drives. "We redesigned the magnetic sensor to make it capable of measuring very weak changes in magnetic fields," says Xiao.

The resulting device is capable of detecting a current as weak as 10 microamperes, even when the wire is buried deep within a chip, and it shows up features as small as 40 nanometers across.

At present, engineers looking for defects in a chip have to peel off the layers and examine the circuits visually; this is one of the obstacles(48). But the new magnetic microscope is sensitive enough to look inside chips and reveal faults such as short circuits, nicks in the wires or electro migration -- where a dense area of current picks up surrounding atoms and moves them along. "It is like watching a river flow," explains Xiao.

As well as scanning tiny circuits, the microscope can be used to reveal the internal structure of any object capable of conducting electricity. For example, it could look directly at microscopic cracks in an aeroplane's fuselage,(49). The technique cannot yet pick up electrical activity in the human brain because the current there is too small, but Xiao doesn't rule it out in the future. "I can never say never," he says.

Although the researchers have only just made the technical details of the microscope public, it is already on sale, from electronics company Micro Magnetics in Fall River, Massachusetts. It is currently the size of a refrigerator and takes several minutes to scan a circuit, but Xiao and Schrag are working(50).

A. to shrink it to the size of a desktop computer and cut the scanning time to 30 seconds

B. to making chips any smaller

C. to take tiny chips we require

D. to picture the progress of the currents

E. converting the information into a color picture showing the density of current at each point

F. faults in the metal strip of a forged banknote or bacteria in a water sample
