听力原文：Nearly 400 years ago a young man traveled up to London. The young man had come on

听力原文： Nearly 400 years ago a young man traveled up to London. The young man had come on foot from Stradfurd-on-Avon, a small town on the Avon. He was poor, but he had confidence in his future, the future of a great actor. His name was William Shakespeare.

He had not been in London very long before he noticed that play-goers all went to the theatre on horseback. "Here is an opportunity!" he thought," There must be someone to take care of the horses when people are watching a play." So he began to do the job and he did it so well that people all liked him very much.

Soon the actors found the young man a very premising actor and he was given an opportunity to play a part on the stage. From that time on, his name became known. But he was not content with the life of an actor. He took great interest in play-writing. The plays he wrote, popular in England of his own time and up to the present day, have shown him to be one of the greatest writers the world has ever produced. He is among those who are loved by the people in all time and in all lands.

(30)

A．Because he wanted to be a great actor.

B．Because he wanted to be a playwright.

C．Because he was too poor to live on.

D．Because he wanted to take care of horses.

听力原文： In 1963 the leader of the Labor Party made a speech explaining plans for a "university of the air"-- an educational system which would make use of television, radio and correspondence courses. Many people laughed at the idea, but it became part of the Labor Party's program to give educational opportunity to people who had not had a chance to receive further education.

By 1969 plans were well advanced and by August 1970 the Open University, as it is now called, had received 400 000 applications. Only 25 000 could be accepted for the four "foundation" courses offered: social sciences, arts, science and mathematics. Unsuccessful candidates were told to apply again the following year, when a foundation course in technology would also be offered.

The first teaching programs appeared on the air and screen in January 1971, with clerks, farm workers, housewives, teachers, policemen and many others as students. Correspondence units had been carefully prepared and science students were given devices for a small home laboratory. Study centers have been set up all over the country so that students can attend once a week, and once a year they will spend a week at one of the university's summer schools.

It has been nearly 40 years since the Open University started to offer courses. Now it is a very important part of the British educational system. Not only does it offer foundation courses like those mentioned above, it also carries out very advanced scientific researches, some of which will lead to Master's or PH. D Degrees.

32. How did people in the 1960's like the idea of establishing a "university of the air"？

33.Which course was one of the four "foundation" courses offered in the Open University？

34.When did the first teaching programs appear on the air and screen？

35.What's the current situation with the Open University？

(33)

A．Many thought it was ridiculous.

B．Some expected it to replace traditional ones.

C．Most regarded it as a convenient educational channel.

D．No one took it very seriously.

听力原文：In the past two years, millions of Americans have suddenly embraced the bicycle a

听力原文： In the past two years, millions of Americans have suddenly embraced the bicycle as if it were a startling new invention. Annual bike sales doubled between 1960 and 1970, and there are nearly 70 million bikes in the United States today. That's more than two for every three automobiles.

Of course, the bike has been around for more than 150 years, and this isn't America's first bicycle boom. A wave of bike enthusiasm swept the land in the late 1800s and bicycle production hit two million units in 1897. Then with the coming of the auto, bicycling declined, and for decades remained popular only with children and a few adult faddists.

Now, national preoccupation with air pollution and physical fitness has brought the bike back to the forefront—particularly with adults. More than eight million bikes were sold in the United States last year and a third of them went to adults. The year before, only 15 percent of new bike sales were for adults.

(30)

A．The use of bikes is a new invention in the U.S.

B．Annual bike sales doubled in the 60s in the U.S.

C．The producers made 70 million bikes every year.

D．The number of bikes is two times that of cars in the U.S.

听力原文： Everywhere we look，we see Americans running. They run for every reason anybody could think of. They run for health，for beauty，to lose weight，to keep fit，and because it is the thing they love to do. Every year， for example，thousands of people run in one race，the Boston Marathon，the best known long distance race in the United States. In recent years there have been nearly 5，000 official competitors and it takes three whole minutes for the crowd of runners just to cross the starting line.

You may have heard the story of the Greek runner，Pheidippides. He ran from Marathon to Athens to deliver the news of the great victory 2，500 years ago. No one knows how long it took him to run the distance. But the story tells us that he died of the effort. Today no one will die in a Marathon race. But at the finish line，we see what this race is about；not being first，hut finishing. The real victory is not over one's fellow runners，but over one's own body. It is a victory of will power over fatigue. In the Boston Marathon，each person who crosses that finish line is a winner.

(30)

A．Three minutes.

B．Two minutes.

C．One minute.

D．Five minutes.

听力原文： Britain wants to attract more foreign students like these, and triple its total

overseas numbers inside 15 years to nearly 900,000, a quarter from China's growing middle class. They could be worth more than 20 billion dollars annually but it's not guaranteed, for the traditional big players, Britain and the US, are increasingly facing competition for market share.

Education is big business. In fact for both the UK and the US, income from foreign brain power is greater than export sales of arms and ammunition. But security fears and restrictive visa controls are shrinking America's dominance of the 2-million-strong international student market, while in Britain a third of colleges reported a drop in last year's foreign enrolments due to visa problems. Nick Mackie, BBC News, Chongqing.

According to the report, how many overseas are now' studying in Britain？

A．100,000

B．300,000

C．600,000

D．900,000
