听力原文:Man: The best thing about the Eurostar train is that it is city centre to city centre. I almost always travel with colleagues and we use the train as a second office. Sometimes there are as many as nine of us and I schedule formal meetings to have on the train. I invite suppliers and clients, who have meetings in Paris on the same day, to travel with us so we can discuss business. It's a perfect opportunity to talk without the distractions of the office-we don't switch on our mobile phones.
You hear a man talking about traveling from London to France for his job. What does he say about the train journey?
A.He's able to use it to his advantage.
B.It's a boring but necessary part of his job.
C.He enjoys the social aspect of it.

Can Mobile Phones Cause Disease?
1 "Mobile phone killed my man," screamed one headline last year.Also came claims that an unpublished study had found that mobile phones cause memory loss.And a British newspaper devoted its front page to a picture supposedly(假定地)showing how mobile phones heat the brain.
2 For anyone who uses a mobile phone,these are worrying times.But speak to the scientists whose work is the focus of these scares and you will hear a different story. According to them,there is no evidence that mobile phones cause cancer or any other illness in people.
3 What we do have,however, are some results suggesting that mobile phones' emissions have a variety of strange effects on living tissue that can't be explained by the general radiation biology.And it's only when the questions raised by these experiments are answered that we' be able to say for Sure what mobile phones might be doing to the head.
4 One of the odd effects comes from the now famous" memory loss" study.Alan Preece and his colleagues at the University of Bristol placed a device that imitated the microwave emissions of mobile phones to the Left ear of volunteers.The volunteers were just as good at recalling words and pictures they had been shown on a computer screen, whether or not the device was switched on.Preece says he still can't comment or the effects of using a mobile phone for years on end.But he rules out the suggestion that mobile phones have an immediate effect on our cognitive abilities,"I'm pretty sure there is no effect on short-term memory," he says.
5 Another expert,Tatters all,remarked that his latest findings have removed fears about memory loss.One result,for instance,suggests that nerve cell synapses(突触) exposed to microwaves become more-rather than less-receptive(感受的)to undergoing changes linked to memory formation.
6 Hopefully, microwaves might turn out to be good for you.It sounds crazy, but 3 couple of years ago a team led by William Adey at the Veterans Affairs Medical Center in California found that mice exposed to microwaves for two hours a day were Less Likely to develop brain tumours when given a cancer-causing chemical.

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: The sum total of our knowledge is very small compared to the size of our ignorance. Every advance on the frontier of knowledge opens up a great vista of the unknown. The scientist is not happy except when he finds something new.Science is an incomplete task just as life is incomplete. He can only be happy because he has the opportunity to continue the search. Fulfillment can never be there so long as knowledge is imperfect.
The search for truth is not a peaceful occupation. The happiest people I have known have not been the men of great worldly achievements or wealth. They have been the simple people who are happily married, enjoying good health and good family life.
I do not think we search for the stars or moon because we make up our minds to do so, but because we can't help ourselves. Imagination is not an attribute of happiness. A person can be very happy when he knows nothing.
While it is true you can get happiness, peace and serenity from being at the lower end of the ladder, it is also true that you cannot enjoy the ecstasy of achievement. Success in the general sense of the term means the opportunity to experience and to realize to the maximum the forces that are within us.

A.Because we have made up our minds to do so.
B.Because we want to fulfill our desire for knowledge.
C.Because we want to enjoy the ecstasy of achievement.

听力原文: Stress is a very normal part of life. Most people feel stress at some time in their lives.
It doesn't come from an event itself, that is, from the things that are happening in our life. It comes from the meaning we give to what has happened. We can experience stress any time we feel we don't have control. It is the body's way of showing anxiety or worry. Stress is not just caused by our mental or emotional condition, it is also influenced by how tired we are whether we have a balanced diet with enough vitamins and minerals, whether we get enough physical exercise, and whether we can relax.
If we feel stressed, there are several things that we can do. First, we need to learn how to relax and breathe slowly, and smoothly.
We can also take some time out of our worried, busy schedule to notice the small things in life. Smell the air, look at the flowers, notice the small designs in the leaves on a tree—these activities can do much to quiet us and to give ourselves a small break in a busy schedule.
We need to take care of our bodies. Being tired makes it easier for us to get sick and to develop physical problems related to stress. We need to get enough rest, eat well, and do some regular exercise.
Finally, we need to find what is causing the stress in our lives. Once we have'found it, we need to begin to change that part of our lives. If we believe that we can control stress, we can begin to control our lives.
(27)
A.An unexpected event that happens.
B.Your understanding of an event.
C.The things that happen in our lives.
D.The mentioning of the word itself.

听力原文: For years and years people have been saying that the railways are dead. "We can do without railways" people say, as if motorcars and planes made the railways unnecessary. We all keep hearing that trains are slow, that they lose money, that they're dying. But this is far from the truth. In these days of expensive oil, the railways have become highly competitive with motorcars and planes. If you want to carry people or goods from place to place, they're cheaper than planes. And they have much in common with planes. A plane goes in a straight line and so does a railway. What is more, it takes you from the heart of a city into the heart of another It doesn't leave you as a plane does, miles and miles from the city center. It doesn't hold you up as a car does, in endless traffic jams. And a single train can carry goods which no plane or motorcar could ever do. Far from being dead, the railways are very much alive. Modem railway lines give you a smooth, untroubled journey. Where else can you eat well, sleep in comfort, feel safe and enjoy the scene while you are traveling at Speed at the same time? And we are only at the beginning, For we have just entered the age of super-fast trains, traveling at 150 miles an hour and more. Soon we will be wondering why we spent so much on motorways we can't use because we have not enough money to buy the oil and planes we can't fly in for the same reason.

A.Planes and motorcars have taken the place of trains.
B.Oil is expensive today.
C.Trains are slow.
D.Railways lose money.

听力原文: Good evening, ladies and gentlemen, and welcome. I'm sure we have all heard the expression, "Think Green." Tonight we are going to talk about ways that we can "Act Green" in our everyday life.
The best place to start, of course, is in the home. Every day, people all over the world are hurting the environment without even knowing it. For example, busy families buy paper napkins and plastic food wrap at the supermarket. This helps them save time on housework, but after these things have been used, what happens to them? They go into the garbage heap. In many places, especially in North America, big cities are running out of places to throw their garbage. What can we do about it?
How can we cut down on garbage? Well, we can start using cloth napkins and cloth towels instead of paper towels. When we go grocery shopping, we can choose products that are not "overpackaged." For example, last week I bought a package of cookies. The cookies were in a bag. There was a plastic tray inside the bag, and then each cookie was in its own little package on the tray in the bag! That's overpackaging! We should also take our own bags to the grocery store to carry things home in.
(27)
A.Food processing.
B.Environmental protection.
C.Shopping habits.
D.Overpackaging problems.
