听力原文:W: Excuse me, would you mind answering a few questions?
M: Well, I don't know. I'm in rather a hurry actually.
W: It won't take a moment. We're doing a public opinion poll on some important political questions to try to find out if the government really has support for its policies. The results are going to be published in a national newspaper.
M: Oh, all right, then.
W: Thanks. Well, I'll read out statements and you have to say whether you agree strongly, agree, disagree, disagree strongly or just don't know. OK?
M: Yes.
W: Well, first of all, "Policemen should always carry guns." Do you agree?
M: No, not always.
W: What is your opinion?
M: They shouldn't do that when they're on normal duty. But if they're chasing a criminal who they know has got a gun, then they should be armed as well.
W: OK, next question: "Britain should drive on the right-hand side of the road."
M: What rubbish! Why doesn't everybody else drive on the left?
W: All right. One more question: "Britain should leave the EEC."
M: That's nasty. I wasn't in favor of us joining, but I think it would be difficult to leave now. I think we'll just have to stay in and make the best of it.
W: OK, that's all. Thank you very much.

Passage One
Questions 17 to 19 are based on the passage you have just heard.
听力原文:
Passage One I first met Joe Gans when we were both nine years old, which is probably the
only reason he’s one of my best friends. If I had first met Joe as a freshman in high
school, we wouldn’t even have had the chance to get to know each other. Joe is a day
student, but I am a boarding student. We haven’t been in the same classes, sports, or
extracurricular activities.
Nonetheless, I spend nearly every weekend at his house and we talk on the phone every
night. This is not to say that we would not have been compatible if we had first met in our
freshman year. Rather, we would not have been likely to spend enough time getting to know
each other due to the lack of immediately visible mutual interests. In fact, to be honest,
I struggle even now to think of things we have in common. But maybe that’s what makes us
enjoy each other’s company so much. When I look at my friendship with Joe, I wonder how
many people I’ve known whom I never disliked, but simply didn’t take the time to get to
know. Thanks to Joe, I have realized how little basis there is for the social divisions
that exist in every community. Since this realization, I have begun to make an even more
determined effort to find friends in unexpected people and places.
Questions 17to 19 are based on the passage you have just heard.
17. Why does the speaker say Joe Gans became one of his best friends?
A.They shared mutual friends in school.
B.They had many interests in common.
C.They shared many extracurricular activities.
D.They had known each other since childhood.
Questions 62~66 are based on the following passage.
I don’t ever want to talk about being a woman scientist again. There was a time in my life when people asked constantly for stories about what it’s like to work in a field dominated by men. I was never very good at telling those stories because truthfully I never found them interesting. What I do find interesting is the origin of the universe, the shape of space-time and the nature of black holes.
At 19, when I began studying astrophysics, it did not bother me in the least to be the only woman in the classroom. But while earning my Ph.D. at MIT and then as a post-doctor doing space research, the issue started to bother me. My every achievement—jobs, research papers, awards—was viewed through the lens of gender (性别) politics. So were my failures. Sometimes, when I was pushed into an argument on left brain versus (相对于) right brain, or nature versus nurture (培育), I would instantly fight fiercely on my behalf and all womankind.
Then one day a few years ago, out of my mouth came a sentence that would eventually become my reply to any and all provocations: I don’t talk about that anymore. It took me 10 years to get back the confidence I had at 19 and to realize that I didn’t want to deal with gender issues. Why should curing sexism be yet another terrible burden on every female scientist? After all, I don’t study sociology or political theory.
Today I research and teach at Barnard, a women’s college in New York City. Recently, someone asked me how may of the 45 students in my class were women. You cannot imagine my satisfaction at being able to answer, 45. I know some of my students worry how they will manage their scientific research and a desire for children. And I don’t dismiss those concerns. Still, I don’t tell them “war” stories. Instead, I have given them this: the visual of their physics professor heavily pregnant doing physics experiments. And in turn they have given me the image of 45 women driven by a love of science. And that’s a sight worth talking about.
第62题:Why doesn’t the author want to talk about being a woman scientist again?
A.She feels unhappy working in male-dominated fields.
B.She is fed up with the issue of gender discrimination.
C.She is not good at telling stories of the kind.
D.She finds space research more important
