听力原文: (23[B])A leaked UN report admits that the situation in Kosovo is bad and getting worse. Tile 1999 NATO effort to prevent Serbs from driving all Albanians out of Kosovo, has resulted in a situation where only UN sponsored peacekeepers are preventing the Albanians from driving the remaining 100;000 Serbs from Kosovo. (24[A])The UN originally opposed the NATO attack. Only about 5,800 of the 200,000 Serbs have returned to Kosovo. But nearly all 850,000 of the Albanians that fled, have come back, to live with nearly a million Albanians that never left. The Albanians want an independent Kosovo, and the expulsion of all non-Albanians. Efforts by the UN and European Union to change the minds of the Kosovo Albanians have been unsuccessful.

听力原文: Unless measures are taken at once, there is a good chance that all the oceans of the world will be heavily polluted by the year 2000. How could this possibly happen?
We have already seen that people allow all kinds of waste products to flow into the sea. It is almost impossible to measure how much sewage and industrial waste end up in our oceans. And [low about oil pollution in the oceans? It is illegal to discharge oil into the sea close to the coast, but when a ship is many miles out to sea there are no such restrictions. Sometimes there is a ship collision, and our beaches are covered with oil. But collisions are not the only cause of oil pollution, not even the main cause. Much more oil is discharged at sea when the oil tanks are cleaned out.
Estimates of the amount of oil discharged into the sea vary quite a lot, but the lowest figure for oil discharged into European waters alone is about 200,000 tons every year. Some people say that the figure could be ten times higher.
It is not only our beaches that are polluted by oil, among other things, some fish in the sea now contain great amounts of poisonous substances. Next time you eat fish, how can you be sure that they are free from oil pollution? It is really quite a problem.

A.Sewage and industrial waste.
B.Oil pollution on the beach.
C.Oil discharged at sea when people cleaning oil tanks.
D.The oil that leaks out after ship collisions.
听力原文: After years of failing to take the disease seriously, Beijing has become a late convert to the cause of HIV/Aids education, prevention and treatment.
In recent months health authorities have stepped up plans to distribute free condoms, promote needle exchanges, provide free antiretroviral drugs to patients and boost Aids awareness through education campaigns. Yet, Beijing had better be ready for an epic battle if it is to prevent a full-scale crisis. Already, more than 200,000 people have died of Aids in China and a further 840,000 axe living with HIV/Aids. The UN warns that, unchecked, the disease could claim 10 million victims by 2010.
The world's first HIV case was discovered in America in 1981. Four years later, China discovered its first HIV case. However, long after that, ignorance about how the disease is transmitted remains widespread. Disseminating knowledge of how HIV is transmitted and finding ways to cheaply distribute antiretroviral drugs for infected patients are among tasks facing health authorities, who are now applied to preventing an oncoming disaster.
Although China is coming late to the Aids war, it can benefit from the experience of other countries and it can also benefit from the increased global funding and willingness to share expertise that is available today. Therefore, we have a good reason to believe that China will eventually succeed in its effort to restrain the spread of Aids.

SECTION B PASSAGES
Directions: In this section, you will hear several passages. Listen to the passages carefully and then answer the questions that follow.
听力原文: It is not surprising that people hardly ever associate Britain with wine and in fact it may astonish you to learn that grapes are grown broadly in England and nearly 200,000 bottles of wine were sold in 1975. It is nothing new in growing grapes in Britain, in spite of the climate. The Romans planted the first vines about A.D. 300 and for a long time people always drank home-produced wines. What destroyed the English wine industry was not so much a change in the climate as the fact that an English king, Henry Ⅱ, inherited the Bordeaux area of France as part of his dominions since the twelfth century and the imported wine provided a great deal of competition. The English wine industry did not disappear, however, until the sixteenth century, when the monks, who had been the main producers in the meantime, had been taken away their estates by Henry Ⅷ. The new owner let the vineyards die out. But now English people, probably due to their memories of holidays by the Mediterranean, drink more wine than ever, and the new industry is now developing at a modest but consistent rate.
______ may not be responsible for the ruin of the wine industry in Britain.
A.The decline of the quality of the British wine
B.The English king, Henry Ⅱ
C.The English king, Henry ⅥⅡ
D.The imported wine's competition and the change of climate
