听力原文: Christmas is America's most popular holiday. Some people attend church and observe Christmas as the birthday of Christ. For others Christmas is just a day of fun and celebration, a time for family and friends to get together, exchange gifts and enjoy a huge holiday dinner. During the last days of November American homes and stores begin to be decorated with Christmas trees and bright lights. Schools and churches prepare special holiday concerts. People go to parties, buy fine gifts and prepare special Christmas food.

Some people criticize Christmas. They say it is not religious enough. They say the holiday has become such big business that Americans forget it was created to honor the birth of Christ. It is true that people spend a lot of money during the holiday season. Store owners expect to get from 60 to 70 percent of their yearly earnings during the month before Christmas.

Defenders of Christmas, however, point out that Americans also do many special things to help each other at Christmas time. One international organization assists more than two and one half million people in the United States each Christmas. The organization gives out toys, warm clothing, food and many other kinds of aid.

(30)

A.At the end of November.

B.In the middle of November.

C.At the beginning of December.

D.In the middle of December..

听力原文:M: You're making a trip to Chicago to get the client's signature on the big deal
today, aren't you?

W: Yes, I have to leave the office right after my meeting with the managers, but I am a bit worried because the highway is under construction until this weekend. I hope the traffic doesn't get too congested.

M: I think you'd better take the local road instead because it took me more than 2 hours to get to work this morning. The five-lane highway has been reduced to two lanes, and the traffic is a killer out there.

W: If that's the case, I think I'll just leave my car here and take the subway there. I am sure the local road is not going to be any better with the Christmas parade on Main Street. I just can't afford to miss the plane today. The meeting is just too important.

Why will the woman go to Chicago?

A.To close a business deal.

B.To take part in a Christmas parade.

C.To meet a possible business partner.

D.To enjoy some time off work.

听力原文:M: What do you plan to do for Christmas?

W: No concrete plan, but I think I'll most likely go skiing in Montana and spend a few days in the mountains doing cross-country skiing.

M: I heard you are very good at skiing. Believe it or not, I haven't done any skiing in my life. I wish I could ski just like you.

W: Yeah, you could if you gave it a shot. You know, skiing is my love and the only reason I like it so much is because it gives me great pleasure to speed through the snow.

M: My parents and I vacationed in Montana National Park when I was little and I remembered we had great time going hiking. Now I feel like going back again.

W: Well, since we have two weeks' break for Christmas, you can spend a few days in Montana and I can give you lessons on skiing. That would give you some basics and hopefully you can ski like a professional in a few days.

M: Ski like a professional? No way. Actually, you do have a good point. I could spend some time in Montana and head back home for Christmas. Perhaps you could spend Christmas at my place too. My parents would like to meet you.

W: That would be great, since my folks will be in Jamaica for Christmas and New Year.

M: Oh, I am anxious to learn how to ski.

W: And you can bet I will be a very strict instructor.

M: No problem. I have been known to be an excellent student during my school year.

W: Well, maybe you won't be this time.

M: Really? I am looking forward to it now.

W: OK. Then, let's wait and see.
