听力原文： The vast oceans of the world are dark, deep and mysterious places where eyesi

ght counts for little as soon as you venture very far beneath the surface. For humans, who live in a world dominated by visual stimuli, to exist in such conditions would be impossible. But for whales and dolphins that live in the ocean or, in the case of a few species, muddy rivers, the darkness is unimportant. What is important to them is sound. Sound is an efficient way to transmit and sense information, especially as it travels five times faster through water than through air. If humans shout to someone, it is unlikely that they will be heard a kilometre away. But if a whale shouts in an ocean channel, another whale may hear it tens, if not hundreds, of kilometres away. Whales and dolphins use sound in two ways: for communication and for echolocation. Dolphins and toothed whales communicate through a wide variety of high-frequency sounds. But as well as using sounds to communicate, toothed whales and dolphins also rely on echolocation to learn about their immediate environment, including prey that might be waiting nearby. They produce intense short broad-band pulses of sound in the ultrasonic range. These clicks are brief, typically less than one millisecond long — but they are repeated many times each second. Questions 16 to 18 are based on the passage you have just heard. 16. For whales and dolphins, which sense is most important？ 17. How much faster does the sound travel in the water than in the air？ 18. How do the dolphins and toothed whales communicate？17．

A．Six times.

B．Five times.

C．Three times.

D．Two times.

听力原文： A Brown University sleep researcher has some advice for people who run high s

chools: Dont start classes so early in the morning. It may not be that the students who nod off at their desks are lazy. And it may not be that their parents have failed to enforce bedtime. Instead, it may be biologically that these sleepyhead students arent used to the early hour. "Maybe these kids are being asked to rise at the wrong time for their bodies," says Mary Carskadon, a professor looking at problems of adolescent sleep at Browns School of Medicine. Carskadon is trying to understand more about the effects of early school time on adolescents. And at a more basic level, she and her team are trying to learn more about how the biological changes of adolescence affect sleep needs and patterns. Carskadon says her work suggests that adolescents may need more sleep than they did at childhood, not less, as commonly thought. Sleep patterns change during adolescence, as any parent of an adolescent can prove. Most adolescents prefer to stay up later at night and sleep later in the morning. But its not just a matter of choice — their bodies are going through a change of sleep patterns. All of this makes the transfer from middle school to high school — which may start one hour earlier in the morning — all the more difficult, Carskadon says. With their increased need for sleep and their biological clocks set on the "sleep late, rise late" pattern, adolescents are up against difficulties when it comes to trying to be up by 5 or 6 am for a 7:30 am first bell. A short sleep on a desktop may be their bodys way of saying, "I need a timeout." Questions 16 to 18 are based on the passage you have just heard. 16. Why does Carskadon suggest that high schools should not start classes so early in the morning？ 17. What might be a reason for the hard transfer from middle school to high school？ 18. What is the passage mainly about？17．

A．Adolescents sleep better than they did at childhood.

B．Adolescents have to choose their sleep patterns.

C．Adolescents need more sleep than they used to.

D．Adolescents depend more on their parents.

Creating a World without SmokingSmoking will be banned in all pubs, clubs and workplaces f

Creating a World without Smoking

Smoking will be banned in all pubs, clubs and workplaces from next year after historic votes in the Commons last night. After last-minute appeals from health campaigners, MPs opted for a blanket prohibition which will start in summer 2007, ending months of argument over whether smokers should be barred in pubs and restaurants only. They voted to ban smoking in all pubs and clubs by 384 to 184,a surprisingly large majority of 200.

Smoking will still be allowed in the home and in places considered to be homes, such as prisons, care homes and hotels.

Smokers lighting up in banned areas will face a fixed penalty notice of ￡50 and spot fines of ￡200 will be introduced for failing to display no-smoking signs, with the possible penalty, if the issue goes to court, increasing to ￡1,000.

Carp line Flint, the Public Health Minister, also announced that the fine for failing to stop people smoking in banned areas would be increased to ￡2,500-more than ten times the ￡200 originally proposed.

The Bill also allows the Government to increase the age for buying cigarettes. Ministers will consult on raising it from 16 to 18.

The Bill now goes to the Lords but will be through by the summer recess.

Even a plan to allow smoking to continue in private clubs was thrown out as MPs on all sides were given permission to vote with their conscience rather than on a party line.

Patricia Hewitt, the Health Secretary, said the Health Bill would ban smoking in” virtually every enclosed public place and workplace” in England and save thousands of lives a year. Smoke-free workplaces and public places” will become the norm”.

She said:” An additional 600,000 people will give up smoking as a result of this law and millions more will be protected from second-hand smoke.”

Peter Hollins, director-general of the British Heart Foundation, said: “The vote is a landmark victory for the public health of this country and will save the lives of many people.”

A ban on smoking in all pubs, clubs and workplaces will begin in summer 2007.

A．Right

B．Wrong

C．Not mentioned

听力原文： Generalising about education in the United States involves some hazard becaus

e education is decentralised and standards vary from place to place. What is more, diversity is the hallmark of American education. Education is largely a public function in America, but religious and private institutions do sponsor schools. These private schools, particularly in the primary and secondary field, are now enjoying a resurgence. Most children in America begin school in a kindergarten class at age 5. This follows with eight years of primary education, then four years of high school. Education is compulsory until about age 16. The existence of large minorities, many with a primary language other than English, complicates the educational process. Many Americans do not believe that their school standards are high enough. The high rate of functional illiteracy gives credence to this charge. Higher education in America is widespread with about 1,800 post-secondary institutions. These include two-year community colleges, four-year undergraduate colleges and universities, and many schools which have extensive graduate programmes. Some schools are privately funded, but most receive the bulk of their funding from public sources. There is a great range of quality between higher educational institutions and, some universities have outstanding academic records. These quality differences may be overemphasised for many non-prestige schools have excellent programmes. In the long run, the individual determines the education he gets. Questions 16 to 19 are based on the passage you have just heard. 16. Why is generalising about American education so difficult？ 17. Where do most American schools obtain their funding？ 18. Why do minorities create an educational problem in America？ 19. What is the safe generalisation about quality in American higher education？16．

A．From religious organisations.

B．From public sources.

C．From corporate sources.

D．From research grants.

第8题

American consumers like convenience very much. During the last 50 years, there has been a

dramatic increase in such labor-saving devices as automatic washing machines, clothes dryers, dishwashers, food processors, microwave ovens, garbage disposals and power lawn mowers. Today, all of these and many more, are found in a typical suburban home. These labor-saving devices are designed to reduce the time spent on housework. However, the time that Americans save is quickly spent on other activities. The American desire for convenience also created the concept of fast-food restaurants, found in every city and almost every small town in the United States, and now exported all over the world. These fast-food restaurants, such as McDonalds and KFC, serve sandwiches, salads, fried chicken, seafood, and other food to hurried customers in five minutes or less, often at a drive-up window. There are also a wide variety of restaurants that will deliver Chinese food, pizza, and other dishes to peoples homes in about a half-hour. In many areas there are "take-out taxis" that will deliver food from the menus of 20 or 30 different restaurants for a small charge. For those who prefer to prepare their food at home, American grocery stores are full of convenience foods that are packaged and ready to cook or even precooked. Like microwave ovens and dishwashers, fast-food and take-out restaurants are convenient because they save the American consumer time that would otherwise be spent fixing meals or cleaning up. More than half of all the women in the United States are currently employed. This includes mothers with children under the age of 18. More than half the women with little children under the age of six hold jobs. Sixty-eight percent of the women who have school-age children are employed. Families with working mothers need all the time-savers they can get. Thus, the conveniences that Americans desire reflect not so much a leisurely lifestyle. as a busy lifestyle. in which even minutes of time are too valuable to be wasted. Alexis de Tocqueville was one of the first to see in this a curious paradox (自相矛盾) in the American character. He observed that Americans were so busy working to acquire comforts and conveniences that they were unable to relax and to enjoy leisure time when they had it. Today, many Americans have what one medical doctor has called "the hurry sickness".

The increase in labor-saving devices in the last 50 years reflected______.

A．a shortage of labor force in America

B．people"s need to reduce the time spent on housework

C．Americans" interest in doing housework

D．the quick change of American family life
