听力原文: Robert Goddard, American physicist and rocket scientist, once said that the dream of yesterday is the hope of today and the reality of tomorrow. It was his scientific work that gave hope to many of our dreams about space and then turned them into reality.
Robert Goddard's many studies and tests in the early 1900s led to the first rocket. Then he developed rockets with more than one engine. Each engine pushed the rocket higher and higher out of Earth's atmosphere. His ideas are still used today.So, in a way, every rocket that flies today is a Goddard rocket.
Robert Goddard was far ahead of his time. He developed and flew many rockets that got their power from solid fuels. Then, in 1925, he made and tested the first rocket engine using a soft chemical fuel. In 1926, he successfully fired the world's first liquid-fuel rocket.
Robert Goddard died in 1945 of cancer. He was sixty-three years old. He received a special honor many years after his death. In 1959, the United States established the Goddard Space Flight Center near Washington, D.C. The Goddard Space Flight Center honors the man whose work proved that machines could travel out of Earth's atmosphere, into space.
(23)
A.An airplane designer.
B.A science fiction writer.
C.The inventor of rockets.
D.A famous theoretical physicist.
听力原文: W: Did you go to the football match on Saturday?
M: No, I had to attend a wedding ceremony, and I was driving all the way from Leeds to Edinburgh. But I listened to the football commentary over the car radio instead. It sounded very exciting indeed, I must say.
W: You must be joking.
M: Why?
W: Well, it's pretty dull, really.
M: Was it? Come to think of it. That commentator, what's his name? Urn, Bergman or something, he does tend to overdo it a bit.
W: Well, if he made that football match sound exciting, he certainly did overdo it.
M: How did it go then? I should have thought that Leeds United did well to win with the York City in their present form.
W: Yes, I suppose they did, but 2:1 didn't do them justice. They should have had at least 3 in the first half, and another 2 in the second.
M: Yes, he mentioned that there were some bad misses.
W: I'll say. You should have seen the one Johnson missed. He got hold of the ball out on the touchline, pushed it up to the outside right, and then ran into the middle for the cross, and when it came, it was a beauty. It dropped right in front of him, and all he had to do was to take his time and pick his spot. And instead, he took a wild swipe at it, and skied it miles over the bar.
M: Anyway, it was a relief my team won the game. Let's not look on the black side. Perhaps they learned their lesson. But I shall have to be off. When shall I see you?
W: Oh, on Saturday, I expect. I will be there in the stadium on Saturday, all being well that is.
M: Where will you be? Usual place?
W: Yes, usual place, on the terraces.
M: Ok, I'll see you then.
W: Bye.

听力原文:Man: I love deep-sea diving. I go at least once every summer. The deeper you go,the quieter everything becomes, until finally all you can hear is the sound of your own heartbeat. It's my way of getting away from it all, finding some peace for once. I spent my honeymoon diving, although my wife's not so keen, and it's not something we always do together. I don't need company necessarily, and I'm not looking for some incredible adventure. I did, however', once join some guys in a cage off Florida, searching for the great white shark. If sharks stop moving, they die. That sounds like me back home.
You hear a man talking about deep-sea diving. Why does he like the sport?
A.It suits his sociable nature.
B.It contrasts with his normal lifestyle.
C.It fulfils his need for a challenge in life.

" How far is it to the next village?" the American asks a man sitting by the side of the road. In some countries, because the man realizes that the traveler is tired and eager to get to his destination (目的地) , he will politely say " Just down the road. " He thinks this is more encouraging , gentler, and therefore the wanted answer. So the American drives through the night, getting more and more angry, feeling " tricked". He thinks the man purposely cheated him, for obviously he must have known the distance quite well.
Had conditions been turned over, the American would have felt he was "cheating" the driver if he had said the next town was close when he knew it was really 15 miles further on. Though, he, too, would be sympathetic(同情的)to the weary driver, he would say "You have a good way to go
yet; it is at least 15 miles. "The driver might be disappointed, but he would know what to expect.
Whether to be correct or polite leads to many misunderstandings between people of different
cul-tures. If you are aware of the situation in advance, it is sometimes easier to recognize the problem.
61. The man at the roadside tells the American it is close to the next village because
[ A] he is playing a trick on him
[ B ] the American expects the answer
[ C] he doesn ' t know the exact distance at all
[D]he wants to encourage him to go further
