听力原文： Brighton is a popular seaside town on the south coast of England. Not long ago some policemen at Brighton were very puzzled. There had been several serious accidents caused by motorists driving too fast. The police started to set up a speed trap. They measured a distance of 88 yards on a straight road and watched to see how long it took a car to travel that far. They knew that if a car took less than six seconds, it was traveling faster than the speed limit of 30 miles an hour.

When the policemen were ready, they hid behind a hedge and started to time passing vehicles. During their first half an hour, they caught five drivers. The policemen wrote down the number of each car and the name and address of the driver. But for the next half an hour the policemen did not see anybody driving too fast. They thought that this was very strange. One of them drove a quarter of a mile along the road and saw two students sitting on the grass. They were homing up a sheet of cardboard so that motorists could see it. On the notice one of the students had written: "Danger. Speed Trap."

The policemen took the notice away and wrote down the names of the students. Later on they were each fined ￡5 for trying to stop the policemen from catching motorists who were breaking the law.

Section B

Directions: In this section, you will hear 3 short passages. At the end of each passage, you will hear some questions. Both the passage and the questions will be spoken only once. After you hear a question, you must choose the best answer from the four choices marked A, B, C and D.

听力原文： To the best of my knowledge, all my aunts, uncles and grandparents spent most of their lives within thirty miles of Troy, Pennsylvania. They were farmers, horse traders, merchants, and postmen. As a boy, I believe I knew everyone living within four miles of our farm. And I guess Dad knew just about everyone in the country. He enjoyed talking. We met people at suppers on Saturday nights. Today a number of my relatives still live near Troy, but several of my cousins, my nieces, my brother and my sister are scattered in many states. The nearest relative to my home in New Canaan, Connecticut, is a niece who lives about a hundred and ten miles away. My two sons live in Wisconsin and Pennsylvania; my mother-in-law, until her recent death, lived much of the time in Florida. When my wife Virginia and I moved to New Canaan twenty-four years ago, it was a semi-rural town and I soon knew most of the people living within a mile of us. In recent years almost all the old neighbors have moved and many dozens of new houses have sprung up near us. Today I wouldn't even recognize half of the people living within five hundred yards of our house. Virginia and I feel increasingly isolated. Personal isolation is becoming a major social fact of our time.

Section B

Directions: There are 2 passages in this section. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. You should decide on the best choice.

An accidental discovery has brought seismologists(地震学家) one step closer to being able to predict earthquakes. As part of an unrelated effort to measure underground changes caused by shifts in barometric pressure (大气压力), a team of researchers found that increases in subterranean pressure(地下压力) preceded earthquakes along California's San Andreas Fault(断层) by as much as 10 hours. If follow-up tests advance the findings, seismologists may eventually be able to provide a few hours' notice for people to find safe places prior to quakes.

Researchers used a high-tech equivalent of a stereo speaker lowered into a bore hole near Parkfield, Calif., a half-mile deep and five yards from a measuring device. For two months beginning in late 2005, researchers transmitted pulse signals three times per second, from the speaker to the measuring device, calculating travel time between the two stations. Surprised scientists learned the seismic waves slowed dramatically on only two occasions: two hours prior to a magnitude-1 temblor (地震), and a startling 10 hours before a magnitude-3 quake.

The research team theorizes that the immense amount of pressure building along the fault causes small cracks within the rock during the final hours before an earthquake, increasing rock density and slowing the transmission signals. "The more cracks you have, the slower the seismic velocity," says study co-author Paul Silver, a geophysicist with the Carnegie Institution of Washington. Still unknown is whether there is any significance to the fact that the magnitude-3 quake had a much longer pre-seismic signal than the lower-magnitude quake, or whether it was simply because its magnitude was larger and its epicenter closer to the sensors.

If scientists can flesh out the new findings during future earthquakes — a two-year study at the same seismically active location begins this September — it could form. the basis of a vastly improved early-warning system for quakes. Current earthquake-warning systems give just a few seconds' notice because they detect only waves, the fast-moving seismic waves that precede the more destructive waves released during a quake. Upgrading to a seismic stress meter, however, is still a long way of{. Researchers hope to test whether the stress signals would still be detectable on a larger scale, with the two sensors spaced more than a few yards apart.

Barring a major effort to drill multiple, half-mile-deep holes along fault lines, researchers would also need to develop a surface-based detection system capable of filtering out temperature swings and other "noise" that could confuse their seismic readings.
