听力原文： Back in those primitive times it was unnecessary to have a special form. of exchange value for everything, like a price. In thee times the only things that were really valuable were the skills to sat vive. But as society became more complex, people depend more on others who were living far away; then it became important for people to develop some method for exchanging value without having to ex change the actual goods.
This need to develop a method for exchanging value was what led to the use of money. Money was a means of exchanging value without having to actually exchange the specific things you wanted. Before the use of money, people had to trade things with each other, and it was usually very difficult to decide what everything was worth in relation to each other. If you had three animals skins and your friend had two pots of dried betas, how did you know how many skins were equivalent to a pet of beans if they didn't have a price？ With the introduction of money, all things could begin to hate a common value that everybody could know about. This led to a standardized set of values among people. As the power of money increased, values that were different from the majority were no longer recognized. The value of something in terms of money became the ultimate value. In order for money to function, the whole society has to agree on the same values.

What are special effects？ Do you enjoy movies that use a lot of special effects？
Dinosaurs (恐龙) from the distant past! Space battles from the distant future! There has been a revolution in special effects, and it has transformed the movies we see.
The revolution began in the mid-1970s with George Lucas's Star Wars, a film that stunned (使震惊) audiences. That revolution continues to the present with dramatic changes in special effects technology. The company behind these changes is Lucas's Industrial Light ＆ Magic (ILM). And the man behind the company is Dennis Muren, who has worked with Lucas since Star Wars.
Muren's interest in Special effects began very early. At the age of 6, he was photographing toy dinosaurs and spaceships. At 10, he had an 8-millimeter movie camera and was making these things move through stop motion. (Stop motion is a process in which objects are shot with a camera, moved slightly, shot again, and so on. When the shots are put together, the objects appear to move. )
Talk to Muren and you'll understand what ILM is all about; taking on new challenges. By 1989, Muren decided he had pushed the old technology as far as it would go.
He saw computer graph(图像)(CG)technology as the wave of the future and took a year off the master it.
With CG technology, images can be scanned into a computer for processing, for example, and many separate shots can be combined into a single image. CG technology has now reached the point, Muren says, where special effects can be used to do just about anything so that movies can tell stories better than ever before. The huge success of Jurassic Park and its sequel (续集), The Lost World, the stars of which were computer-generated dinosaurs, suggests that this may very well be true.
The special-effects revolution began in the mid 1980s with Star Wars.
A．Right
B．Wrong
C．Not mentioned

听力原文： Villages in developing countries often lack many things: books, clean water and electricity. These shortages are easy to see, but a different kind of shortage is not easy to see. That is the shortage of experts.
Many villages have no doctors, engineers, or scientists. They have no one who knows how to treat unusual medical problems or design a new energy system. There is a way to solve these problems. They can do it with computers. In the past few years, computer scientists around the world have developed what they call expert system.
An expert system is a special kind of computer program. In some situations, it can take the place of human expert. For example, an expert medical system can help care for a sick person. A question appears on the computer screen "Is this person hot？" You tell the computer either "Yes" or "No". The computer asks other questions, "Has the person lost any blood？" "Can the person move normal[y？" you answer. The computer continues to ask questions until it has enough information to make a decision. Then it tells what medicine or other treatment is needed. In this way, the expert system takes the place of a doctor. Another kind of expert system takes the place of an engineer. It measures the flow of water in the river. It tells if a dam can be built on the river. It also tells how much electricity can be produced. Still other kinds of expert systems help solve problems for farmers and owners of small business.

A．Lack of clean water.
B．Lack of electricity.
C．Shortage of experts.
D．Shortage of books.
