听力原文: Earlier this year, the American Lung Association launched a web site aimed at helping people stop smoking cigarettes. The Association fights all kinds of lung diseases. Officials say using the Internet is the best way to help people save their own lives by helping them stop smoking.
The American Lung Association says the new web site is part of its Freedom from Smoking campaign. People around the world can use the web site twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week.
The program is free of charge. And it is interactive. A person who links to the web site can communicate with other people who also want to quit smoking. They can ask and answer questions, share concerns and tell about earlier attempts to quit smoking. The Freedom from Smoking campaign requires that everyone have a support group.
Support groups are necessary because quitting smoking is very difficult. The Freedom from Smoking campaign recognizes this. People who link to the web site answer a series of questions. These include why they smoke, how long they have been smoking and what causes the urge to have a cigarette. Then the program works with the person to design a successful way to quit. This may include making changes in a person's life or using medicines to help.

8 Ypsilan Street, GR-10675,
Kolonaki, Athens, Greece
Dear Mr. Poulos,
Here are the sales figures that you asked for.
Product: S-7 Engine (in thousands of units)
The reason that the sales figures for Sweden are lower than those for Finland, Norway and Germany is our company has launched extensive advertising campaigns in Finland, Norway and Germany, but not in Sweden. Next year we will launch an extensive advertising campaign in Sweden. However, the situation is Sweden is more complicated than the situations of the aforementioned countries because of extremely strict advertising regulations in that country.
To be honest, I don't think we should expect the same kind of success in Sweden that we've seen in the other countries.
Cordially,
Patricia Porter
Patricia Porter, Sales Manager

RE: Sales Figures
I understand your concern about the situation in Sweden. Needless to say, I'm disappointed with the sales figures in Sweden. One marketing researcher at our company has tried to persuade me to stop conducting business in Sweden because of the difficulties created by strict advertising regulations.
While I admit that there are problems, I don't agree that they cannot be solved. I've reviewed various new proposals for increasing sales in Sweden, and feel that we should do a feasibility study before adopting them.
Which of the following is true?
A.The advertising campaigns have not worked well in Finland.
B.The company is planning to abandon the advertising campaign in Norway.
C.The company is running an advertising campaign in print as well as on radio and TV channels.
D.Sales in Germany were higher than in Finland for the first sixth months of the year.
听力原文: Jenny never wanted to be a national public figure. All she wanted to be was a mother and a homemaker. But her life was turned upside down when a motorist distracted by his cell phone, ran a stop sign and crashed into the side of her car. The impact killed her two-year-old daughter. Four months later, Jenny reluctantly but courageously decided to try to educate the public and to fight for laws to ban drivers from using cell phones while a car is moving. She wanted to save other children from what happened to her daughter. In her first speech, Jenny got off to a shaky start. She was visibly trembling and her voice was soft and uncertain. But as she got into her speech, a dramatic transformation took place. She stopped shaking and spoke with a strong voice. For the rest of her talk, she was a forceful and compelling speaker. She wanted everyone in the audience to know what she knew without having to learn it from a personal tragedy. Many in the audience were moved to tears, and to action. In subsequent presentations, Jenny gained reputation as a highly effective speaker. Her appearance on a talk show was broadcast three times transmitting her message to over 14,000,000 people. Her campaign increased public awareness of the problem and prompted over 300 cities and several states to consider restrictions on cell phone use.
What was the significant change in Jenny's life?
A.She became a public figure.
B.She made a successful speech.
C.She had a terrible lesson.
D.She was hurt in the accident.

"Sometimes I feel like I need a translator to understand my own language," says Yoke Fujimura with little anger, a 60-year-old Tokyo restaurant worker. "It's becoming incomprehensible."
It's not only Japan who is on the defensive. Countries around the globe are wet through their hands over the rapid spread of American English. Coca-Cola, for example, is one of the most recognized terms on Earth.
It is made worse for Japan, however, by its unique writing system. The country writes all imported utterances-except Chinese-in a different script. called katakana(片假名). It is the only country to maintain such a distinction. Katakana takes far more space to write than kanji-the core pictograph(象形文字) characters that the Japanese borrowed from China 1,500 years ago. Because it stands out, readers complain that sentences packed with foreign words start to resemble ex tended strings of lights. As if that weren't enough, katakana terms tend to get confusing. For example, digital camera first appears as degitaru kamera. Then they became the more ear-pleasing digi kamey. But kamey is also the Japanese word for turtle. "It's very frustrating not knowing what young people are talking about," says humorously Minom Shiratori, a 53-year-old bus driver. "Sometimes I can't tell if they're discussing cameras or turtles."
In a bid to stop the flood of katakana, the government has formed a Foreign Words Committee to find suitable Japanese replacements. The committee is slightly different from French-style. language police, which try to support a law that forbids advertising in English. Rather, committee members and traditionalists hope a sustained campaign of persuasion, gentle criticism and leadership by example can turn the tide.
According to the author, the mason why the Japanese is infected greatly by English is _____.
A.that nothing can prevent it from entering into Japan
B.that English is the most recognized language in the world
C.that the government has not set up a special administration department to control this trend before it becomes popular in Japan
D.not clearly mentioned in this passage

The biggest problem facing Chile as it promotes itself as a tourist desti
nation is that it is at the end of the earth. It is too far southern to be a 【M1】______
convenient stop on the way to anywhere else and is much further than a 【M2】______
relatively cheap half-day's flight away from the big tourist markets. Chile,
therefore, is having to fight hard to attract tourists, to convince travelers
that it is worthwhile coming halfway round the world to visit. 【M3】______
Like all South American countriss, Chile sees to urism as a valuable
earner of foreign currency, although it has been far more serious than most
in promoting its image abroad. Relatively stable political within the region, 【M4】______
it has benefited from the problems suffering in other areas. In Peru, 【M5】______
guerrilla war in recent years has dealt a heavy blow to the tourist industry and 【M6】______
fear of street crime in Brazil has reduced the attraction of Rio de Janeiro as
a dream destination for foreigners.
More than 150,000 people are directly involved in Chile's tourist
sector, an industry which earns the country more than $ 950 million each
year. The state-run National Tourism Service, in partner with a number of 【M7】______
private companies, is currently running a worldwide campaign, takes part 【M8】______
in trade fairs and international events to attract visitors to Chile. Chile's
great strength as a tourist destination is its geographical diversity. From the
parching Atacama Desert in the north to the Antarctic snowfields of the 【M9】______
south, it is more than 5000km long. With the Pacific on one side and the
Andean mountains on the other, Chile boasts in natural attractions. Its 【M10】______
beaches are not up to Caribbean standards but resorts, such as Vina del Mar
are generally clean and unspoilt and have a high standard ofservice.
