听力原文： April Fool's Day started in the sixteenth century in Europe. Before that time, New Year's Day was celebrated on April 1st. Then a new calendar was introduced called the Gregorian calendar. January 1st became the first day of the year, but many people did not know about it. So those who continued to celebrate New Year's Day on April 1st were laughed at. They were called fools.
Nowadays we play jokes on people on April 1st. For example, someone might put salt in the sugar container so another person could "accidentally" put it in their coffee. Or someone might change the time on another person's alarm clock so that person would unknowingly wake up earlier or later than planned. Or maybe a person would tell a lie to make someone else shocked. After we play the trick, we say "April Fool." Then the poor person realizes he was fooled. In many countries newspapers and the other media participate with false headlines or news stories. It is generally done in the spirit of fun and doesn't cause any real harm to anyone. Do you have any great jokes to play on others？ Try it out an April 1st. Just don't forget to say "April Fool" when the other person begins looking a little confused.

C．People will marry three or four times in one life-time.
D．Divorced people don't stay single.
听力原文： Marriage is still a popular institution in the United States, but divorce is becoming almost as "popular". Nevertheless, most American people get married at the present time. Fifty percent of American marriages end in divorce. However, four out of five divorced people do not stay single. They get married a see6nd time to new partners. Sociologists tell us that in the next century, most American people will marry three or four times in one lifetime. Alvin Toffler, an American sociologist, calls this new social form. "serial marriages". In his new book Fortune Shock, Toffler gives many reasons for this change in American marriage. In modern society, people's lives don't stay the same for very long. Americans frequently change their jobs, their homes, and their circle of friends. So, the person who was a good husband or wife ten years ago is sometimes not as good ten years later. After some years of marriage, a husband and wife can feel that their lives have become very different, and they don't share the same interests any more. For this reason, Toffler says, people in the twenty- first century will not plan to marry only one person for an entire lifetime. They will plan to stay married to one person for perhaps five or ten years, and then marry another. Most Americans will expect to have a "marriage career" that includes three or four marriages.

Computers, which once only remembered data, will make more decisions. Machines that today tell doctors what symptoms the patients have may soon be recommending whether or not to perform. surgery as well. Others will design new buildings after questioning buyers about their preferences. Increasingly, human thought processes and even values are being programmed into computers, according to Earl Joseph, president of a consulting firm. "Imagine machines which are smarter and more intelligent than humans and, with their embedded(植入的) initiative, can't wait to tell you about it," he says.
In everyday life, the future will mean talking directly to computers without pushing buttons. Just tell a toaster, stove or other kitchen device what to do, and it will hear the message. The oven may even decide itself how long to cook the roast. Tell the television, "I want to watch Channel 12 at 8 p.m., but store the show for next week," and the job will be done.
The computer will talk back, too. Already some soft-drink machines complain loudly if you don't deposit enough cash. At home, a bedside machine may someday tell you, "You forgot to turn off the basement light."
Away from home, the automobile of the future will think for itself. Scientists predict that drivers will feed destinations into a computer that will then explain what route to take and even tell where parking spaces are available. A city's traffic-control system might instruct the car's computer how fast to go in heavy traffic and whether to change lanes.
This passage mainly discusses ______.
A．the history of computers
B．the different functions of computers
C．the computer in the 21st century
D．scientific breakthroughs in the 21st century
听力原文：M: Are you ready for the trip to the museum in the Big Apple？ I can hardly wait.
W: The Big Apple？ What are you talking about？
M: The Big Apple is the nickname for New York City. You are going to New York with us, aren't you？
W: Yes, I'm going. I'm especially looking forward to seeing the Museum of Modern Art. There's a special show of 20th century American painters there. But, tell me, where did the nickname the Big Apple come from？
M: The jazz musicians of the 1920's are responsible for the name. When they played a concert in a city, they called that city an apple. Of course, New York was the biggest city in the country and the best place for a jazz concert. So, the musicians called it the Big Apple.
W: Amazing! New York is such a fascinating place and it even has an interesting nickname, one that it's had for more than 50 years.
Who gave New York its nickname？
A．Artists.
B．Musicians.
C．Grocers.
D．Tour guides.

A large，detached (独立的）house not only ensures privacy. It is also a status symbol. The “magnificent home” is set in a big garden. Of course，this kind of house is an unrealistic dream for most people. But even a small detached house, surrounded by a garden, gives the required suggestion of rural life which is dear to the hearts of many British people. Most people would be happy to live in a cottage (村舍）,and if this is a thatched (茅草的）cottage, suggestive of a pre-industrial age，so mush the better.
Most people try to avoid living in a block of flats (what the Americans call ’’apartment blocks”). Flats， they feel, provide the least amount of privacy. With a few exceptions, mostly in certain locations in central London, flats are the cheapest kind of home. The people who live in them are those who cannot afford to live anywhere else.
The dislike of living in flats is very strong. In the 1950s millions of poorer people lived in old, cold, uncomfortable nineteenth century houses, often with only an outside toilet and no bathroom. During the next twenty years many of them were given new “high rise” blocks of flats to live in which，with central heating and bathrooms, were much more comfortable and were surrounded by grassy open spaces. But people hated their new homes. They said they felt cut off from the world with all those floors up. They missed the neighborliness. They couldn’t keep a watchful eye on their children playing down there in those lovely green spaces. The new high-rise blocks quickly got broken. The lifts didin’t work. The corridors were dark. Windows were damaged and were not repaired. There was graffiti all over the walls.
British people prefer________.
A.flats to detached houses
B.cottages to flats
C.modern houses to old houses
D.city life to country life
A garden is considered to be desirable because_______.A.it’s British

C.flats are in expensive areas
D.they dislike the neighbors there
Compared with the 19th century houses, the new high-rise blocksA.were in better locations
B.were warmly welcomeed
C.were much better equipped
D.were much more expensive
Which of the following might be the best title of this passage？A.British Culture
B.Houses, Not Flats
C.British Dream
D.Kinds of Houses
