听力原文： City officials have approved a plan to offer illegal immigrants identification cards that would let them open bank accounts and use other services that may be unavailable without driver's licenses or state-issued IDs. Supporters say the program, approved by the Board of Aldermen and believed to be the first of its kind in the nation, will help safeguard the city's estimated 15, O00 illegal immigrants, If they can open bank accounts, immigrants will be less likely to carry large amounts of cash, a practice that makes them easy targets for robbers.

PEDESTRIAN CRITICALLY INJURED IN WESTWOOD HIT-AND-RUN CRASH

A pedestrian was critically injured in a Westwood area car accident near the corner of Wilshire Boulevard and Veteran Avenue early morning on January 5, 2016.

The police said it involved a hit-and-run driver. The car was dark and was last seen traveling east on Ashton Avenue from Veteran Avenue. The investigation is ongoing.

It appears that the driver struck and seriously injured the pedestrian, and left the victim lying in the roadway without even stopping to help or call emergency personnel. Outrageous! Leaving the scene of an injury or fatal crash is a serious crime under California law. California Vehicle Code 20001 (a) states: “The driver of a vehicle involved in an accident resulting in injury to a person, other than himself or herself, or in the death of a person shall immediately stop the vehicle at the scene of the accident.”

We hope the driver in this case is arrested and brought to justice. If you have any information about the suspect or the vehicle, please visit the Hit-and-Run Reward website at hitandrunreward.com to offer a useful tip and become qualified for a $1,000 reward.

"Unsolved History"

If NASA engineers invented a time machine tomorrow, you can be sure historians would be shelling out top dollar for just a few minutes at the wheel. History books are filled with mysteries, hotly debated issues and question able stories, and if you could just get a look at the real scene of the event, you could finally answer a lot of these big questions. Imagine witnessing the beginnings of the American Revolution, the historic battles of the Civil War or any of the major events that have defined the past 100 years.

Discovery Channel's hit weekly series "Unsolved History" has set out to do the next best thing. Using the most advanced investigation tools modem technology has to offer, the "Unsolved History" researchers attempt to reconstruct a famous event by piecing together any hard evidence that remains. Instead of relying on what the history books say alone, the investigators take a fresh look at the available facts.

The basic idea is to approach these historical mysteries in the same way criminal investigators approach modern ones. By looking at each historical event as a crime scene, the show's researchers can scientifically devise the most likely scenario for the historical event in question. So far, their conclusions have been both surprising and enlightening.

What does it take to do all this？ It turns out you need a large staff of historians, scientists and investigators, and a lot of sophisticated equipments. Just as in a real criminal case, investigators bring hard evidence and human intuition together to come up with the most likely explanation of what actual happened.

The result is an interesting, highly unique show. It's part history, part detective story and part technological showcase.

The Premise

"Unsolved History" revolves around interesting stories from history that have an element of mystery about them. The producers' first challenge for every episode is to come up with a suitable subject. They are generally drawn to three types of episode subjects: topics with a certain amount of controversy surrounding them, topics that are misunderstood by the general public, and topics with big lingering questions.

In the first episode, for example, the producers investigate "Pickett's Charge," a fairly controversial event, at least among Civil War buffs. Was Confederate Major General George E. Pickett's infamous attack in the Battle of Gettysburg a desperate, last-gasp failure from the out-manned Confederates, or was it a valiant(英勇的), heroic last stand,as the Southern army claimed？ The "Unsolved History" crew concludes that neither version is accurate. In another controversy-driven episode, the researchers attempt to separate folk mythology from fact in reconstructing what actually happened in the battle of the Alamo.

In a later episode, the research crew gets to the bottom of a widely misunderstood subject, the Boston Massacre. The common view among most Americans is that British soldiers fired upon a crowd of innocent civilian colonists, in an act of inexcusable oppression. The evidence, according to the" Unsolved History" crew, paints a very different picture—they assert that the British soldiers, backed into a corner by an angry mob, fired in self defense.

In another episode, the crew investigates a different kind of "police incident", the famous shoot-out at the O.K. Corral. In the popular old west mythology, four lawmen, led by Wyatt Earl？ And gunslinger Doc Holliday, valiantly protected the town of Tombstone from a gang of villainous outlaws. The Unsolved History crew approaches the event just as they would a police shooting today, using modern forensic(法医的) tools to determine if it was "clean" police work or an abuse of power. Just as with the Boston Massacre, the investigators conclude that this was not a prudent use of police power.

rning, they found a dog in their garden. They took the dog in, gave it some meat, and watched it go into a corner and go to sleep. They decided to let the animal stay overnight, and to look for its owner in the morning. Then they left home to pay a visit to their daughter in Inverness.

They came home at about eleven. As they opened the front door, they were welcomed by a snarling (狂吠的) boxer, standing with bared teeth. Any attempt to calm the animal met with angry barking. Soon all the neighbors were awake, and came out to offer helpful advice.

But it did. Two animals stood and stared and snarled at each other. It was a draw.

Then a vet (兽医) was sent for. By the time he arrived, it was 4 a.m. He borrowed a rope, made a lasso (套索), and threw the loop over the boxer’s head.

He dragged it into the garden, stuck a needle in it, and put it to sleep. The police removed it.

SECTION B INTERVIEW

Directions: In this section you will hear everything ONCE ONLY. Listen carefully and then answer the questions that follow. Questions 1 to 5 are based on an interview. At the end of the interview you will be given 10 seconds to answer each of the following five questions.

Now listen to the interview.

听力原文：Sally: In recent years, more and more foreign students have been coming to the UK to study. But when they first arrive many students are unsure of the formalities they have to follow and even where to go for help. So we have Alan McLean from the British Council here today to offer some advice. Alan, first of all, where do overseas students get help when they have problems at college？

Allan: Well, the Welfare Office of the Student Union can provide students with information and advice on all aspects of college if and living in the UK. The college will also have a counselor for overseas students who will specifically look after the interest of foreign students. They can also put you in touch with overseas students' societies and organizations, which are often run by overseas students. So, as you can see, there's quite an extensive support service for the students, and new arrivals shouldn't feel they have to tackle problems alone.

Sally: Indeed. So what formalities should students coming from abroad complete upon first arriving？

Allan: One important thing is to register with the police. The stamp which will have been put in the student's passport by the immigration officer indicates whether or not they are required to register with the police. If you are from the European Community or the Commonwealth, or if you intend to stay in the United Kingdom for less than six months, you should not have to register with the police.

Sally: So not all overseas students have to register with the police, but if you are not from an EEC or Commonwealth country, presumably you must register. Allan: That's right. If you required to register with the police you must do so within seven days of arrival in Britain. You must also inform. the police every time you change your address while you are in the United Kingdom.

Sally: And what do you have to bring for registration？

Allan: You will need to take your passport, of course, and two passport-sized photographs of yourself. If you are living in London you should go to 10 Lambs Conduit Street, London WC1. It opens 9 am to 4:45 pm Monday to Friday. In other parts of the country you should go to the nearest police station for advice on where to register. There is a charge of twenty five pounds for registration.

Sally: I see. So, your passport, two passport-sized photos and twenty five pounds.

Allan: Uhuh. Another important thing is that holders of student visas aren't usually entitled to claim state benefit or to work. Attempting to do so may affect your right to stay in the UK. You might be prosecuted and fined about five hundred pounds. It will say on your visa whether you are entitled to get a job in the UK or not..

Sally: So that's something non-resident students should be aware of. Working in Britain without permissions is a criminal offence. But if they are entitled to get a job in the UK, how do they go about finding one？

Allan: If you are allowed to work, you will need to get forms OW1 and OWS. These can be picked up at any job centre, where work permits for overseas students can now be issued. The OWl form. is filled out by your prospective employer and returned to the job centre along with your passport and a letter from your college indicating that the employment will not interfere with your studies. If you are looking for work experience or practical learning you must get forms OW21 and 0W22 from the Work Experience

Section of the Department of Employment. You will be asked for proof of the purpose and intended length of stay here and that you are going to return to your native country.

Sally: Well, I hope that.

Little wonder that affluent shoppers come in droves. Little wonder that others come as well, mugger, car thieves, child molesters, drug peddlers, pickpockets, shoplifters.

Criminals are finding a lucrative stamping ground in the sprawling emporiums that dot U. S suburbs.

"Malls are like great big jars of honey," says Police Chief Joseph Delaney of Paramus. "Lots of bees come buzzing in, stingers at the ready." Paramus, a New York City suburb of 26000 whose six malls draw nearly 200 000 people on a typical Saturday, reported 8.9 million dollars in shopping enter crime losses last year.

B

It is crimes of violence that are causing the most alarm.

Vast parking lots and mazes of stores offer good working conditions for criminals. Victims and booty are readily accessible, escape routes plentiful.

C

Just how many victims are claimed by shopping enter crime, no one knows. But many business people are taking the threat seriously.

Whether offences are big or small, it is clear that merchants have little interest in publicizing the trend. Comments Anthony Potter, a security consultant: "If shopping centres started reporting all the crimes that take place, nobody would shop there."

D

Hamilton, Ohio, lawyer David Green, who won 2 million dollars on behalf of a woman abducted from a mall parking lot and shot in the head, found that 43 serious crimes had occurred at the same site. "Bad guys know this is where to find women with money—vulnerable and alone. "he says. Indeed, most violence happens in parking areas, where shoppers can easily be taken by surprise. Reports Albert Sussman of the International Council of Shopping Centres: "People park their cars and are robbed by muggers, who can quickly find a place to hide."

Bad people also go there as well as shoppers.

China to help Europe Develop GPS Rival

China is to contribute to a new global satellite navigation system being developed by European nations.

The US has claimed that Galileo could interfere (57) the US ability to downgrade the GPS service during military conflicts. European officials say this is unfounded and counter that US opposition (58) the commercial challenge Galileo would present to GPS. Galileo will be precise to within a meter, while civilian GPS service is accurate to around 10 meters.

The Galileo satellite constellation will (59) 27 operational and three reserve satellites orbiting the Earth at an altitude of 23,600 km. The satellites will be strung along three medium-Earth orbits at 56 degrees inclination to the equator and will provide global coverage. The system should be operational by 2008 and the entire project is expected to (60) around 3.2 billion Euros(USD 3.6 billion).

The European Commission has said Galileo will primarily be used for transportation technology, scientific research, land management and disaster monitoring.

Galileo will provide two signals: a standard civilian one and an encrypted, wide-band signal (61) the Public Regulated Service (PRS). This second signal is designed to withstand localized jamming and will be used by police and military services in Europe. European Commission (62) have said China will not be given access to the PRS.

The first Galileo satellite is scheduled to launch late in 2004, Clocks on board the (63) Will be synchronized through 20 ground sensors stations, two command centers and 15 uplink stations.

Receivers on the ground will use time signals from the satellites to precisely calculate their (64) . A "search and rescue" function will also (65) distress signals be relayed through the constellation of satellites.
