听力原文：Today it is perfectly natural for us to shake hands when we greet someone, or say

听力原文： Today it is perfectly natural for us to shake hands when we greet someone, or say goodbye. But like so many other things we do without thinking such actions at one time probably symbolized something else.

For example, in primitive life the hand was probably a symbol of power and strength. The hand was used to fight enemies, kill animals and make spears and implements. So when the hand was extended to someone, it could have represented good will, since it showed that the person was not armed or ready to fight.

We know that the hand was an important symbol in early religion, probably as a mark of power. The Greeks prayed to their gods with raised hands. Presenting hands palm to palm was at one time the way an inferior person paid respect to a superior.

Among the Arabs, it was customary at one time to kiss the hand of a superior. Later on, polite Arabs began to resist the efforts of people to kiss their hands, and some- times they would end up clasping hands as each tried to prevent the other from showing this mark of "inferiority".

The early Greeks held out the right hand when they wished to indicate friendship to a stranger. The hand and what was done with it have been full of meaning to people down through the ages. And while we shake hands, we are really carrying on a custom that has been handed down to us from ancient times.

(33)

A．Unfriendliness.

B．Generosity.

C．Friendship.

D．Strength.

听力原文：A silver dollar is not worth a dollar--nor is any other silver coin really worth

听力原文： A silver dollar is not worth a dollar--nor is any other silver coin really worth its face value. Silver coins are made of an alloy--a mixture of 10 per cent copper and 90 per cent silver---which lasts much longer in circulation than pure silver would. A silver dollar contains 90 cents worth of silver and a dime has 9 cents worth. It takes only a pennyworth of silver to make a nickel.

This was not the case in 1792, when the United States began minting coins of pure gold and silver. Citizens were welcome to stop in anytime with gold or silver in any form--cups, vases, or even gold fillings from their teeth--and have it melted down for spending money.

Today the mints in Philadelphia and Denver earn a yearly profit of about ＄40 million. Most of this comes from using alloys rather than pure silver in the production of the ＄2.5 billion worth of coins circulating in the United States. The Philadelphia plant also manufactures coins for foreign countries. In a recent year almost 130 million coins were made for the use of foreign governments.

(33)

A．Because their value has been raised since they were made.

B．Because they contain more silver than they used to.

C．Because they contain less silver than they should do.

D．Because the metal wears down in use.

听力原文： Your professor has asked me to talk to you today about the topic that should be of real concern to civil engineers: the erosion of the US beaches. Let me start with some statistics. Did you know that 90% of the coast in this country is eroding, on the gulf of Mexico for instance, erosion averages 4 to 5 feet per year？ Over the past 20 years, there has been all increase in building along the coast, even though geologists and environmentalists have been warning communities about problems like erosion. Someway, communities have tried to protect their buildings and roads and to build seawalls.

However, geologists have found that such stabilizing structures actually speed up the destruction of the beaches. These beaches with seawalls, called stabilized beaches, are much narrower than beaches without them. You may wonder how seawalls speed up beach loss. The explanation is simple. If the flow of the beaches is gentle, the water energy is lessened as it washes up along the shore. It is reduced even more that returns to the sea so it doesn't carry back much sand. On the other hand, when the water hits the nearly-vertical face of the seawall, it goes straight back to the sea with the full force of its energy and it carries back a great deal of sand. Because of the real risk of losing beaches, many geologists support a ban on all types of stabilizing construction on shorelines.

(30)

A．To protect beachfront property.

B．To reduce the traffic on beach roads.

C．To provide privacy for homeowners.

D．To define property limits.

听力原文：Until the twentieth century cigarettes were not an important threat to public hea

听力原文： Until the twentieth century cigarettes were not an important threat to public health. Since the cigarette industry began in the 1870s, however, cigarette manufacturing machines have developed rapidly. This made it possible to produce great numbers of cigarettes very quickly, and it reduced the price.

Today cigarette smoking is a widespread habit. About forty-three percent of the men and thirty-one percent of the adult women in the United States smoke cigarettes regularly. It is encouraging to note, however, that millions of people have given up the smoking habit.

Income, education, and occupation all play a part in determining a person's smoking habits. City people smoke more than people living on farms. Well-educated men with high income are less likely to smoke cigarettes than men with fewer years of schooling and lower income. On the other hand, if a well-educated man with a high income smokes at all, he is likely to smoke more packs of cigarettes per day. The situation is somewhat different for women. There are slightly more smokers among women with higher family income and higher education than among the lower income and lower educational groups. These more highly educated women tend to smoke more heavily.

(33)

A．The great numbers of people engaged in cigarette producing.

B．The rapid development of cigarette-making machine.

C．The rapid development of cigarette-making factories.

D．The increasing output of tobacco.

听力原文： Inequality of health care is still paramount, says the WHO's latest report. Indt

tstrialized countries account for less than 20 percent of the world' s population but take 90 percent of health spending. In Japan more than five hundred dollars is spent on drugs per person per year. This compares to just three dollars in Sierra Leone. Only slightly more is spent in many sub-Saharan countries. Over the last fifty years, life expectancy has in- creased globally from forty six years to sixty five. But today, instead of the gap being between the developed and developing countries, it's now biggest between the very poorest nations and all other countries. The bur- den of infectious diseases, including HIV, as well as chronic conditions, coupled with a lack of health care, has led to this situation. However, it's children who are most affected. Almost fifty seven million people died in 2002, nearly twenty percent children of less than 5 years of age, and ninety eight percent of these deaths occurred in developing countries.

Developed countries take ______ of the world's health expense.

A．20 %

B．00%

C．5%

D．98%

听力原文：Host: In New York today, a prestigious business research group announced the results of the first

ever Consumer Internet Barometer, a survey that assesses what Americans do online. Since the

Internet came into the mainstream, the number of people accessing it has grown exponentially.

Today, nearly 150 million people use it in the United States alone. But what are all of these

people doing in cyber-space？

Lynn Franco of the Conference Board, the New York-based center for business research that

carried out the survey, says the first report yields a clear answer.

Voice: The main driver to the Intemet really is personal communication and personal research. Those

are the top two reasons why people use the Internet.

Host: Ms. Franco says that much of the research people do leads to online purchases, which continue

to increase. More consumers than ever are shopping on the information highway--but, she

says, not without reservations.

Voice: Almost two thirds of all consumers have been online, and you know that only a third have

never gone online. And that while we see an increase in the level of satisfaction now among

users, trust is really a hovering at a low rate, and still remains an issue.

Host: Online consumers remain concerned that their transactions and personal information might

be intercepted by a malicious third party. Still, Ms. Franco says, the percentage of consumers

spending more than $250 online per quarter is up three percent from last year. The Consumer

Internet Barometer is based on a survey of 10,000 U.S. households, and will be published

quarterly.

What do Americans mainly do on Internet？

A．Purchase new products.

B．Watch movies.

C．Personal communication and research.

D．To interpret other people's information.

听力原文：In a way, all of us are on a spaceship, the planet Earth. We move around the sun

听力原文： In a way, all of us are on a spaceship, the planet Earth. We move around the sun at 18 miles per second and never stop. On our spaceship we have five billion people and a limited supply of air, water, and land. These supplies have to be used carefully because we can't buy new air, water, or land from anywhere else.

The environment on our planet is a closed system Nothing new is ever added. Nature recycles its resources. Water, for example, evaporates and rises as visible drops to form. clouds. This same water returns to the earth as rain or snow. The rain that falls today is actually the same water that fell on the land 70 million years ago.

Today, the Earth is in trouble. Factories pour dirty water into our rivers. Many fish die and the water become unhealthy for people to drink. Cars and factories put poisons into the air and cause plants, animals and people to get sick. People throw bottles and paper out of their car windows, and the roadside becomes covered with all sorts of wastes. Over the years, people have changed the environment, and we have pollution.

To continue to survive, we must learn how to use the Earth's resources wisely. We have to change our habits and stop dumping such enormous amounts of industrial waste into the water and air. We must cooperate with nature and learn better ways to use, not to abuse, our environment.

(33)

A．Because both have a limited supply of air, water, and other resources.

B．Because the Earth moves around the sun as fast as a spaceship.

C．Because we can travel to outer space.

D．Because the Earth never stops moving.
