听力原文： As you probably know, log structures are gaining popularity. They are no longer just the simple country homes that we think of as the traditional log cabin. Some upscale homes now incorporate natural round logs in sealing beams and walls. People seem to think that the rounded logs give their homes a cozy warm atmosphere. And even people who want to build a traditional log cabin on their own can buy a kit with precut logs that fit together like pieces of lig-saw puzzle. Before showing you some slides of modem log houses, I'd like to give you a little historical background on the subject.
Log cabins were first built in the late 1600s along the Delaware river valley. The European immigrants who settled there brought centuries' old traditions of working with logs. And in this heavily wooded area logs were the material in hand. Log cabins were the most popular in the early 1800s with the settlers who were moving west. They provided the answer to the pioneer's need for a sale and sliding boards for windows. But the log buildings that have probably had most influence on modern architects are those of the mountain retreats of wealthy New Yorkers. These country houses which were popular in the early 1900s typify what's known as the Adoroundyx style. Now let's look at those slides.
What is the speaker mainly discussing？
A．Traditional European architecture.
B．Techniques for building log cabins.
C．The history of log structures.
D．How to build a home by yourself.
As a girl, Louise Bethune showed great promise(前途) in planning houses and various other structures. As an adult, she was determined to become America's first woman architect(建筑师).
Young architects then usually learned their skills by working in the drafting rooms(绘图室) of professional architects. Most architects didn't want to employ women. But Louise managed to make a well-known architect give her a chance.
She worked from six in the morning to six in the evening. She wasn't paid much. But she learned much as she worked. And her employer allowed her to use his large library.
In 1881, after five years of work and study, Louise set up her own office. She advertised that "the first professional woman architect in the country was ready for business."
Louise insisted that she would not be limited to design private homes just because she was a woman. She sought out a variety of jobs and designed chapels(小教堂), storage buildings, factories and schools. She did very well, inspiring other women to become architects. She often spoke out for fair treatment for women.
When Louise Bethune was a girl, she liked to ______.
A．read picture-books of building
B．play toy-building with other girls
C．plan houses and other buildings
D．plan models of buildings

听力原文： Some people argue that the pressure on international sportsmen and sportswomen kills the essence of sport -- the pursuit of personal excellence. Children kick a football around for fun. When they get older and play for local school teams, they become competitive but they still enjoy playing. The individual representing his country cannot afford to think about enjoying himself. He has to think only about winning. He is responsible for an entire nation's hopes, dreams and reputation.
A good example is the football World Cup. Football is the world's most important sport. Winning the World Cup is perhaps the summit of international sporting success. Mention "Brazil" to someone and the chances are that he'll think of football. In a sense, winning the World Cup "put Brazil on the map".
Sports fans and supporters get quite irrational about the World Cup. People in England felt that their country was somehow important after they won in 1966. Last year thousands of Scots sold their cars, and even their houses, and spent all their money traveling to Brazil, who won the cup.

C．The winner will be greatly honored.
D．It can realize the dreams of an entire nation.
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.
