听力原文： In all economic systems today, most businesses of any size rely on one system of organization: the division of labor. This means that the workers are specialized. Each worker has a particular duty to perform. as one part of the whole operation.

A good example of the division of labor is an assembly line in an automobile factory. One worker may install a door while another adds lights. Normally, workers stay in one place, and a conveyor belt moves the product to them. If one worker had the responsibility of producing an entire car, he or she might be able to complete one each year. By comparison, factories with assembly lines may produce an average of about thirty-five cars a years per worker.

The division of labor permits mass production, but it does have some disadvantages. For one thing, few people know or understand all aspects of an operation, In addition, mass production may be more efficient, but many workers complain that they get little job satisfaction from working on one small duty, day after day, To them, there is much more satisfaction in doing a job from beginning to end.

(33)

A．The division of labor means that workers are general.

B．The division of labor means that workers are specialized.

C．The division of labor means that each worker is in charge of the whole operation.

听力原文： There are many reasons why family life in Britain has changed so much in the last 50 years. The liberation of women in the early part of the 20th century and social and economic effects of the World War Two had a great impact on traditional family life. Women became essential to industry and the professions. During the war, they had worked in factories and proved their worth. Now, with the loss of millions of men, their services were indispensable to the nation. More recently great advances in scientific knowledge, and particularly in medicine have had enormous social consequences. Children are better cared for and are far healthier. Infant death rate is low. Above all, parents can now plan the size of their family if they wish through more effective means of birth control. Different attitudes to religion, authority and tradition generally have also greatly contributed to changes in family life. But these developments have affected all aspects of society. It is particularly interesting to know that the concept of the family as a social unit has survived all these challenges.

(30)

A．The liberation movement of British women.

B．Rapid economic development in Britain.

C．Changing attitudes to family life.

D．Reasons for changes in family life in Britain.

听力原文： Today we'll examine the role that private transportation-namely，the automobile-plays in city planning.

A number of sociologists blame the automobile for the decline of the downtown areas of major cities. In the 1950's and 1960's，the automobile made it possible to work in the city and yet live in the suburbs many miles away. Shopping patterns changed；instead of going to downtown stores，people in the suburbs went to large shopping malls outside the city and closer to the home. Merchants in the city failed，and their stores closed.

Downtown shopping areas became deserted. In recent years there's been a rebirth of the downtown area，as many suburbanites have moved back to the city. They've done this，of course，to avoid highways blocked with commuters from the suburbs. I've chosen this particular city planning problem-our dependence on private transportation-to discuss in groups. I'm hoping you will all come up with some novel solutions. Oh，and don't approach the problem from a purely sociological perspective；try to take into account environmental and economic issues as well.

A．It eliminated many factory jobs．

B．It allowed workers to live far from their jobs．

C．It gave workers opportunity for better training．

听力原文：More and more people are immigrating into the United States. The growing numbers

听力原文： More and more people are immigrating into the United States. The growing numbers of new immigrants have caused some tensions. Asian-Americans are concerned about a number of anti Asian incidents in the last five years. Some of the incidents involved racial insults. Some involved violence.

The United States Civil Rights Commission reported last autumn that anti-Asian violence is a national problem. Social experts say some Americans are looking for someone to blame for the country's economic problems. These people believe Japan is responsible for the trade imbalance and loss of industrial jobs. So they blame anyone who, to them, looks like Japanese... or simply Asian. This feeling is strongest, experts say, among poorer Americans who are struggling for survival.

Partly because of this problem, Asian-Americans are becoming more politically active. They are speaking out against anti-Asian violence and against policies based on anti-Asian feelings.

Traditionally, Asians have taken little part in politics in the United States. They put their energy into hard work and taking care of their families. Now, a movement for more political power has begun.

Asian-American politicians say the reason is mainly the desire for political representation. They say all Asian Americans do not share the same political goals, but share a desire to end all forms of racism. These political leaders would like to see more Asian-Americans in political life. California politician Jule Tang believes that Asian-Americans will become a united political force with their own elected officials. Ms. Tang says, "Asians want to be really part of the American system."

(33)

A．Some Americans look down upon Asian-Americans.

B．Some Americans blame China for the trade imbalance.

C．Some Americans blame Japanese for the trade imbalance and loss of jobs.

D．Americans think that they lost their jobs because Asian-Americans have taken the job places.

听力原文：We all know what a significant number of obstacles the tourist industry had to fa

听力原文： We all know what a significant number of obstacles the tourist industry had to face between 2001 and 2003. From military conflicts to SARS, passing through terrorism and a sluggish economic situation, all negative factors came together to damage tourism results. The impact was significant and rather global. For the first time since 1982, 2003 shows a drop in international tourist arrivals (-1.5%).

However, the period 2004 - 2005 was not much calmer. From the devastating Tsunami to the more recent hurricanes distressing the coasts of the US and Mexico, without forgetting several terrorist attacks and the surge in oil prices. The good news though was that world economy resisted in spite all, and grew by 5% in 2004 and is set to increase by 4% in 2005. And the other good news is that notwithstanding all these threats, world tourism showed again its resilience with such events having only a limited impact in terms of geographical and temporal spread.

International tourist arrivals grew in 2004 to an exceptional total of 763 million, which represents an overall increase of over 10%. This result was much due to the unprecedented recovery of tourism in Asia with a growth of 28% over the trouble year of SARS. Likewise international tourism receipts grew by 9% after dropping 3% the previous year, whereas in Asia this growth was of almost 25%.

And growth continues in 2005. According to the latest data published by WTO in the October issue of the WTO World Tourism Barometer, international tourist arrivals grew by almost 6% up to July, which represents an increase of 25 million arrivals worldwide. Such growth trend was particularly strong in Asia, where after an extraordinary 28% growth in 2004, arrivals were up by 9%, again above the world average and above the long term forecast growth of around 6% a year. 2005 is estimated to end with a growth in tourist arrivals of 5% to 6%, while estimates for Asia indicate a projected 10% increase, much driven by China's exceptional performance, where tourist arrivals grew by an extraordinary 14% until October.

Which of the following is not mentioned as an obstacle of the world tourism industry？

A．SARS.

B．Terrorism.

C．Inflation.

D．Sluggish economy.

听力原文：The problem of the homeless has become very serious in the United States. Almost

听力原文： The problem of the homeless has become very serious in the United States. Almost in every community, you can find homeless people. An ironical case is: in November, 1993, a woman died on a street in Washington, D.C., the nation's capital, and she died at a bus-stop across the street from the US Department of Housing and Urban Development.

People become homeless for various reasons. Some may not be able to pay for the housing they used to have, because they have lest their job and cannot find another place they can afford. Others have mental disorders, or are addicted to drags or alcohol, and there are not enough centres to care for them.

As ways to help these people, the federal government and many communities have set up all kinds of projects. Some programs include permanent housing, training for jobs and treatment for people who are addicted to drugs or alcohol. Some communities have opened centers that offer services for as many as 700 people. The homeless can stay as long as they want.

People are making efforts to solve the problem. However, it will not be easy, because it is a personal and economic problem as well as a social problem.

(33)

A．She died across from the US Department of Housing and Urban Development.

B．US Department of Housing and Urban Development threw the dead woman out onto the street.

C．She died in Washington D.C., the nation's capital.

D．No one cared about the homeless woman.

听力原文：Culture means the general way of life of a people. This simple definition implies

听力原文： Culture means the general way of life of a people. This simple definition implies that culture refers to the customs, traditions, social habits, values, beliefs, language, ways of thinking and daily activities of a people. It also includes the history of civilization. In tile broad sense, there are two types of culture, that is, material culture and spiritual culture. Material culture is concrete and observable, while spiritual culture is implicit and abstract.

Because human language is a direct manifestation of culture, learning a second language involves learning a second culture. For the teacher of a second language, he or she should make sure to develop the students' awareness and knowledge of the culture of the target language they are learning. This includes understanding the values of the target culture, acquiring a command of the etiquette of the target culture and understanding the differences between the target culture and the students' own culture. As students progress through a foreign language program, it is expected that they will increase their awareness of the cultural characteristics of the speakers of the language under study. This broadened cultural knowledge may touch on all aspects of culture: the people's way of life as well as the geographic, historical, economic, artistic, and scientific aspects of the target society. We know that each culture has different etiquette patterns. And therefore, in a foreign language course, students should learn the appropriate etiquette patterns expected of the people living in the country where the target language is spoken. Students should also learn how to interpret unfamiliar cultural conventions and how to act appropriately when communicating with the persons of the foreign culture.

(26)

A．Artistic and economic.

B．Concrete and observable.

C．Scientific and historical.

D．Implicit and abstract.
