听力原文： Colds have always been a nuisance, and people have tried many strange ways to cure them, However, none have worked. one Roman historian even recommended kissing the nose of a hairy mouse (29) ! But up till now we are only a little closer to finding a cure for it.
Scientists have discovered that a cold is not caused by a single virus, but by many. They have proved that people under stress are more likely to catch colds, although why this happens is still unknown (30) . Experiments also showed that women suffer more colds than men. But again, scientists are unable to explain why this is so.
Another experiment proved that getting cold does not cause colds. For this experiment, one group of human volunteers were showered with water and then made to stand in a windy corridor. Another group remained dry and inside a heated room. While you might expect people in the first group to catch colds more easily, they didn't.
one other thing that we now know is that colds are spread by water vapor from breath. This would explain why colds are more common in the winter than at other times: people spend more time indoors closer to other people, and also away from flesh air (31) .
(30)
A．Keeping warm and dry.
B．Drinking a lot of liquid.
C．Living close to the hospital.
D．Kissing the nose of an animal.
Don' t just look. You are expected to feel, to turn, to push. Build your own house and earn why t stands or falls. Use computers to work out plans just as famous scientists have done. There s always something new to learn at the Maryland Science Center.

W: Well,we've been trying to pressure the local government to resume funding of its recycling center.As you may know,they cut off funding to the main plant.Our group,Restoring Recycling Radars (or RRR), called for funding.We hope to succeed in not only getting the funding restored,but also increased.

听力原文： An environmental group called the Food Commission is unhappy and disappointed because of the sale of bottled water from Japan. The water, angrily argued in public, has traveled 10,000 "food miles" before it reaches Western customers. "Transporting water halfway across the world is surely the extremely stupid use of fuel when there is plenty of water in the UK." It is also worried that we are wasting our fuel by buying prams from Indonesia (7,000 food miles) and carrots from South Africa (5,900 food miles). Counting the number of miles traveled by a product is a strange way of trying to tell the true situation of the environmental damage done by an industry. Most food is transported around the world on container ships that are extremely energy efficient. It should be noted that a ton of butter transported 25 miles in a truck to a farmers' market does not necessarily use less fuel on its journey than a similar product transported hundreds of miles by sea. Besides, the idea of "miles" ignores the amount of fuel used in the production. It is possible to cut down your food miles by buying tomatoes grown in Britain rather than those grown in Ghana; the difference is that the British ones will have been raised in heated greenhouses and the Ghanaian ones in the open sun.
What the idea of "food miles" does provide, however, is the chance to cut out Third World Countries from First World food markets. The number of miles traveled by our food should, as I see it, be regarded as a sign of the success of the global trade system, not a sign of damage to the environment.
Questions 26 to 29 are based on the passage you have just heard.
26. Why is the Food Commission angry？
27. What does the phrase "food miles" mean according to the passage？
28. What does the speaker try to explain by comparing tomatoes raised in Britain and in Ghana？
29. Who is most probably giving this talk？
(33)
A．It finds some imported goods cause environmental damage.
B．UK wastes a lot of money importing food products.
C．It thinks people waste energy buying food from other countries.
D．Growing certain vegetables causes environmental damage.

听力原文： Not everybody reads the daily newspaper. People who do not read newspapers are sometimes referred to as nonreaders. Early research has shown that nonreaders are generally low in education, low in income, either very young or very old. In addition, nonreaders are more likely to live in rural areas and have less contact with neighbors and friends. Other studies show that nonreaders tend to isolated themselves from the community, are less likely to own a home and seldom belong to local voluntary organizations. Why don't these people read the daily paper？ They say they don't have the time; they prefer radio or TV; they have no interest in reading at all. And besides, they think newspapers are too expensive. Recent surveys, however, have indicated that the portrait of the nonreader is more complicated than first thought. There appears to be a group of nonreaders that does not fit the type mentioned above. They are high in income, and fall into the age group of 2665. They axe far more likely to report that they don't have the time to read the papers and they have no interest in the content. Editors and publishers axe attempting to win them back. First, they are adding news briefs and comprehensive indexes. This will help overcome the time problem. And they are also giving variety to newspaper content to help build the readers' interest.
(26)
A．They are interested in other kinds of reading.
B．They are active in voluntary services.
C．They tend to be low in education and in income.
D．They live in isolated areas.

From this point of view, America is very much like a salad bowl where individual ethnic groups blend together, yet maintain their cultural uniqueness. They may work together during the day at similar jobs and in identical companies, but at night they may return to their ethnic communities where the flavor of their individual culture dominates their way of life. This is why perhaps there is so much diversity within America. Each ethnic group has its own special interests, language, food, customs and traditions to protect and defend. This idea of the salad bowl is referred to by sociologists as cultural pluralism. It simply means that American society is a collection of many cultures living side by side within one country.
The other concept which is also used to describe American society is that of the melting pot. In this usage, society is like a pot of stew (炖菜) or a cauldron (大锅) of porridge. All of the ingredients mix and blend together losing their identity and yield a bit of what they were to become a new reality. A pot of stew is very different from a bowl of salad. Within the stew, the meat and vegetables in the cooking process give to each other a bit of their own flavor. The longer the stew is allowed to simmer (炖), the better the taste and the more likely it will be for the mixture to dissolve.
In this sense, America can surely be seen as a melting pot where people from all over the world come to live and work together forming one nation. Whether a salad bowl or a melting pot, America can best be described as a mixture of both; that is to say, a nation where there is unity in diversity.
Why does someone see America as a salad bowl？
A．The Americans work together during the day and night.
B．Each ethnic group has its unique culture.
C．There is no culture diversity in America.
D．America society is a unity with one culture.
