听力原文：M: So, Andrea, you going home for the holidays？

W: I sure am. I've booked a flight for tomorrow afternoon and I can't wait.

M: That sounds great.

W: What about you？ Going home, too？

M: I haven't decided yet. I'm still debating...

W: Haven't decided？ Oh, you're never going to get a flight out of here. I'm sure all the seats have been reserved by now. It's the holiday season, after all.

M: Well, it's not such a big deal for me. My family only lives about a hundred and fifty miles from here. I usually drive or take the train. It's a short trip.

W: You don't sound very excited about it.

M: Well, we are not really a very close-knit family. I have three brothers, and they are spread out all over the place. One lives on the East Coast and the other on the West Coast. I even have a brother in Montreal!

W: Oh, vow! What does he do？

M: Translation work. It's kind of strange, but we rarely get together as a family anymore.

W: Well, I try to get home as much as possible. We're a big family--there are six of us children--so it is always a lot of fun.

M: Six kids？

W: Yep. And we're all really close. You should see it-- most of us are married, too, so it makes for a very crowded house over the holidays.

M: I can imagine.

W: Of course, there are too many people to cook dinner for. It is a real headache for my parents. So we end up going out to dinner a lot. It is pretty crazy.

M: Well, at my house my mother loves to cook. So when all of us get home-- which isn't that often-- she always cooks big, homemade meals. We have leftovers for days!

How would the woman go home？

A．By plane.

B．By train.

C．By bus.

D．By car.

听力原文：On the foggy night of July 25, 1956, one of the great sea disasters of modem time

听力原文： On the foggy night of July 25, 1956, one of the great sea disasters of modem times occurred off Nantucket Island. The victim was the new 697-foot Italian luxury liner Andrea Doria, bound for New York. Her killer was the 510-foot Swedish liner Stockholm, outward bound for Europe, her massive bow specially sharpened and reinforced with steel to serve as an ice-breaker.

Aboard the Andrea Doria were 1,706 persons, passengers and crew. In her strong room, deep in the hold, were cash, bonds and jewelry valued at several million dollars, deposited there by the passengers for safekeeping. According to persistent and authoritative rumor, there was also an unlisted cargo of gold bullion worth another million or more. Her elegant saloons and lounges were lavishly decorated with priceless sculptures and paintings valued at more than half a million dollars.

The Swede was making a full 18 knots, the Italian some 22 knots or better, despite the fog and the darkness. Suddenly, at 11: 22 pm the Stockholm burst out of the mist and drove head on into the Andrea Doria's starboard side, just aft of her flying bridge. So fierce was the impact, the ice-breaker prow drove 30 feet into the vitals of the stricken liner. When the ships wrenched apart, the sea roared in through a hole 40 feet wide and nearly 70 feet high.

Luckily there were other ships in the immediate vicinity and the doomed vessel stayed afloat long enough for all but 52 persons on board to be rescued. At 10:09 in the morning, the Andrea Doria raised her stem high and slid to her grave, 240 feet below. With her, she carried the vast fortune that has haunted the dreams of salvage experts and treasure hunters ever since.

When did the disaster happen？

A．In 1957.

B．In 1956.

C．In 1925.

D．In 1706.

听力原文：Being bilingual produces changes in the anatomy of the brain, scientists said rec

听力原文： Being bilingual produces changes in the anatomy of the brain, scientists said recently. They said that could explain why children are so much better than adults at mastering a second language.

They found that people who speak two languages have more grey matter in the language region of the brain. Grey matter in the brain is made up of neurons, or nerve cells. The earlier people learned the language, the larger the grey area.

"The grey matter in this region increases in bilingual people compared to monolingual people. This is particularly true in people who learned a second language early in life," said Andrea Mechelli, a neuroscientist at University College London.

Learning another language after 35 years of age also alters the brain but the change is not as great as in early learners.

"It reinforces the idea that it is better to learn early rather than late because the brain is more capable of adjusting or accommodating new languages by changing structurally," Mechelli said. "This ability of the brain decreases with time."

Mechelli's team used structural brain images to compare the size of the grey matter in the brains of 25 monolingual people, 25 people who learned a second language before the age of five, and 33 late bilingual people.

However, the scientists do not know whether the change in bilingual people means there is an increase in the size of the cells, the number of cells or the connections between them.

(34)

A．Brain structure and mechanism.

B．Foreign language learning ability.

C．People's brain and second language learning.

D．Similarities and differences between adults and children in language learning.
