Influenza（流感）
Influenza has been with us a long time. According to some Greek writers
(5l)medical history,the outbreak 0f 412 B. C. was of influenza. The same has been suggested of the sickness _(52)sweptthrough the Greek army attacking Syracuse in 395 B. C. Influenza is a disease that moves most quicklyamong people living in _ (53)conditions, hence,it is likely to attack armies. _(54)the nineteenth century there were five widespread outbreaks of influenza The last of thefive _(55)in 1889 and marked the beginning of the story of influenza in our time. _(56)therecent outbreak,it started in Asia.
For more than forty years before that outbreak,influenza had steadily . (57)and was be-lieved to be dying out. A new group of outbreaks was _(58)by the great outbreak of 1889-1890 and for the next quarter of a century influenza remained a constant threat.
In April 1918 influenza broke out among American troops stationed in France. It quickly spreadthrough all the _(59)but caused relatively few deaths. Four months later, however, a secondoutbreak started which _(60)to be a killer. It killed not only the old and already sick but alsohealthy young adults.

听力原文： At a certain time in our lives we consider every place as the possible sites for a house. I have thus searched the country within a dozen miles of where I live. In imagination I have bought all the farms, one after another, and I knew their prices.
The nearest thing that I came to actual ownership was when I bought the Hollowell place. But before the owner completed the sale with me, his wife changed her mind and wished to keep it, and he offered me additional dollars to return the farm to him. However, I let him keep the additional dollars and sold him the farm for just what I gave for it.
The real attraction of the Hollowell farm to me was its position, being about two miles from the village, half a mile from the nearest neighbor, bounded on one side by the river, and separated from the highway by a wide field. The poor condition of the house and fences showed that it hadn't been used for some time. I remembered from my earliest trip up the river that the house used to be hidden behind a forest area, and I was in a hurry to buy it before the owner finished getting out some rocks, cutting down the apple trees, and clearing away some young trees which had grown up in the fields. I wanted to buy it before he made any more of his improvements. But it turned out as I have said.
I was not really troubled by the loss. I had always had a garden, but I don't think I was ready for a large farm. I believe that as long as possible it is better to live free and uncommitted. It makes but little difference whether you own a farm or not.
Questions 26 to 29 are based on the passage you have just heard.

One occasion when most people notice the importance of nonverbal communication is when they are talking on the telephone. There is an unwritten rule of telephone conversations that the listener must supply frequent and regular confirmation that he or she is listening. This is done by saying Aha, Mmhm, Yes, I see, and so on. Failure to do this often enough may result in the speaker interrupting him or herself to ask if the other person is" still there". In face to face conversation, this is unnecessary, as attention and understanding are conveyed silently, chiefly by eye contact and posture.
Another situation where the importance of nonverbal communication becomes clear is during cross cultural communication. It is an instructive experience to travel in a foreign country whose culture is very different from one's own. Does one shake hands, bow, touch, point, wink, and se on, or are some or all of these behaviors considered rude？ How long can eye contact be maintained without indicating something more than polite interest？ How close does one stand before being disrespectful or too intimate, how far away before being thought cold or hostile？ Features like these can sometimes be more important in a second language than grammatical accuracy or a good accent.
You can use several ways to communicate with others except ______.
A．using language
B．making eye contact
C．by the posture
D．using ear contact
Any attempt to trace the development from the noises babies make to their first spoken words lead to considerable difficulties. It is agreed that they enjoy making noises, and that during the first few months one or two noises sort themselves out as particularly indicative (标示的) of delight, distress, sociability, and so on. But since these cannot be said to show the baby's intention to communicate, they can hardly be regarded as early forms of language. It is agreed, too, that from about three months they play with sounds for enjoyment, and that by six months they are able to add new sounds to their store. This self-imitation (自我模仿) leads on to deliberate imitation of sounds made or words spoken to them by other people. The problem then arisen so to the point at which one can say that these imitations can be considered as speech.
It is a problem we need not get our teeth into. The meaning of a word depends on what a particular person means by it in a particular situation; and it is clear that what a child means by a word will change as he gains more experience of the world. Thus the use, at say seven months, of "mama" as a greeting for his mother cannot be dismissed as a meaningless sound simply because he also uses it at other times for his father, his dog, or anything else he likes.
Playful(顽皮的)and apparently meaningless imitation of what other people say continues after the child has begun to speak for himself. I doubt, however, whether anything is gained when parents, cash in on this ability in an attempt to teach new sounds.
Children who start speaking late______.
A．probably do not hear enough language spoken around them
B．often take a long time in learning to listen properly
C．usually pay close attention to what they hear
D．may have problems with their hearing
A．before; since
