听力原文：Good morning, and welcome to American studies 101. I would like to begin this sem

听力原文： Good morning, and welcome to American studies 101. I would like to begin this semester by discussing the region of the United States known as the Northeast. This region includes twelve states and a small area called the District of Columbia that is the home of the national government.

The Northeast is a very important part of the United States, for although it covers only about six percent of the nation's geographical area, it contains approximately one-fourth of the country's population. New York, the most popular city in the United States, and several other large cities are located in this region.

Why are these twelve states so important？ In the first place, the Northeast was one of the first sections of the country to be settled by Europeans. Busy cities developed there when most of America was still a sparsely settled wilderness. Many crucial events in the nation's early history took place there. I'll be describing some of those events Wednesday in my second lecture.

Today the Northeast is a great manufacturing and trading region. Thousands of factories produce a wide variety of goods and provide other regions of the country, with items they need. Many large manufacturing firms have their central headquarters here. Some of the country's largest banks, investment agencies, and publishing houses are found in the Northeast. Several of its cities are noted for their fine museums. Some of the country's best known colleges and universities are also located in this region.

Finally the Northeast is the principal location for much of the country's international trade. In the heart of this region New York city is the home of the United Nations.

(33)

A．On the first day of class.

B．At the end of the first week of classes.

C．Halfway through the semester.

D．Just before the final examination.

听力原文： Scientists are gearing up for one of the most ambitious international research programs ever attempted: a decade-long exploration of the world's oceans to unlock some of the most closely held secrets of the creatures of the deep. Using sophisticated technology that was not available even five years ago, the scientists will rely primarily on the animals they want to study to collect the data needed to complete the "Census of Marine Life". Creatures ranging from blue whales to turtles will be fitted with satellite tracking devices that will record their every movement. The project, involving scores of institutions around the globe, is expected to cost upwards of $1 billion, and it will take at least 10 years. The scientists hope the research will tell us much more about a region of the earth we understand so poorly. That area, incidentally, covers 70 percent of the globe.

(33)

A．10 years.

B．20 years.

C．30 years.

D．50 years.

听力原文：Did you know that there's a kind of bird that can sew？ This bird, called the tail

听力原文： Did you know that there's a kind of bird that can sew？ This bird, called the tailor bird, uses its mouth as a needle. It sews leaves together in the shape of a cup. Then it adds a layer of straw to the inside of the cup and lays its eggs there.

Each bird species builds its own special kind of nest. The most common materials used for nests are grasses, branches and feathers. A bird must weave these materials into a nest. Just imagine building a house without cement or nails to hold together.

Another bird is called the weaver bird. 'The weaver bird builds a nest that looks like a basket. The nest is shaped like a pear with a hole in the middle. The hole is the door of the nest.

A third bird is called the oven bird. The oven bird makes a nest that is very solid. The nest is made of mud. The oven bird forms the mud into the shape of an oven and then let it dry in the sun. The sun bakes. the mud, making it very hard.

Not all birds make their homes in branches. Some birds build their nests on the ground, while others bury their eggs under the ground. And some birds do not build nests at all.

So when you look for nests and eggs in the branches of the trees and bushes, remember, that some nests may be right trader your feet.

A．A cup.

B．An oven.

C．An egg.

D．A basket.

听力原文：Most young married couples in the United States share their duties and responsibi

听力原文： Most young married couples in the United States share their duties and responsibilities both inside and outside the home. The reason for this is that they both usually have a job. Most of the young married people have to work in order to plan for their future years. For example, some people might plan for a comfortable home, some others may plan for a family and their children's education, and still some others may generally want to save for a better living.

Since a woman helps financially, a man feels that he should help his wife in the home. He may help her with the cleaning by lifting heavy furniture. Also, he may often wash and dry the dinner dishes, because his wife has to take care of the children. This usually surprises people of other cultures, because they consider it beneath the dignity of a man to help his wife, or in other words, a man shouldn't do a woman's job. In American life, however, this is just another way of showing the respect that men and women have for each other.

(30)

A．Because both husband and wife have their own jobs.

B．Because they have a lot to take care of.

C．Because their parents don't usually help.

D．Because they have more than one kid to bring up.

听力原文： The climate of the west coast is the most moderate in Canada. Summers are cool and fairly dry and winters are mild, cloudy and wet. Even in mid-winter, average temperatures are usually above freezing.

The central plain from the Rocky Mountains to Great Lakes is characterized by cold winters, short but hot summers, and light snow and rain. Tile large water-surfaces of Central and Eastern Canada produce considerable modification in the climate. Southern Ontario and Quebec experience cold, damp winters and hot, humid summers.

Most of Atlantic Canada has a humid climate owing to its maritime character. Nevertheless, it experiences weather systems arriving from the dry, continental interior as well as from the sea. The combined influence of these systems creates some of the most variable day-to-day weather conditions to be encountered anywhere in Canada.

The north-central part of Canada is usually snow-covered for more than half of the year, with a frost-free period of barely two months. Rain is relatively light. Further north, on the islands along the Arctic coast and round Hudson Bay, the land. is always frozen. Average temperatures stay above freezing for only a few weeks of the year. The Arctic Islands and the northern border of the mainland do not have a summer season of the kind known in Southern Canada.

A．The Arctic coast.

B．The west coast.

C．The east coast.

听力原文： When men first lived on the earth a long time ago, they had no proper place to live in. In order to get away from the heat of the sun, to keep themselves warm and dry, they found caves. Caves really gave them some kind of help. Some of these early men built their shelters up in the tree to escape wild animals. They had a hard life and had to go about from place to place for food. Much later on, their lives began to change. They learnt how to keep animals in herds. As they had to move their herds of animals from place to place for grassland, they had to build shelters which were easily carried about.

When they finally learnt the art of farming, they had to clean forests and started planting crops. After that, they had to think about building more permanent shelters. Old houses were built at first with wood and they even use grass as roofs. This went on for a long time. They kept making their houses better. Today, houses of all kinds are built. They are strong, permanent and can last a very long time.

(30)

A．To get away from the heat of the sun.

B．To keep themselves warm.

C．To get away from the rain.

D．To keep themselves dry.

in the mid-nineties —the eighth straight day of plus-ninety temperatures. And tomorrow, Saturday, will be worse — expect temperatures to hit one hundred. And it doesn't look like there's any hope of a thunderstorm until perhaps Wednesday or Thursday. But as we all know from looking at the brown grass on every one's lawn, we need more than a few scattered thunderstorms to help us out, and to get us out of the high alert for brush fires that we are currently in. Later in our broadcast, we'll discuss some of the new water restrictions that will be going into effect on Monday on the North Side and on Tuesday on the South Side. So stay tuned to find out how these restrictions will affect your neighborhood—and your lawn.

A．It will be drier.
