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

听力原文： In the water around New York City is a very small island called Liberty Island. On Liberty Island there is a very special statue called the Statue of Liberty. It is one of the famous sights in the world.

The Statue of Liberty was a gift from the people of France to the people of the United States. The statue was made by a French sculptor named Frederic Auguste Bartholdi. The inner support system was designed by Gustave Eiffel, the same man who made the famous Eiffel Tower in Paris.

Liberty, of course, means freedom, and the Statue of Liberty was given to the United States to celebrate the 100 th anniversary of U. S. independence from England. The statue was built in France, taken apart piece by piece, and then rebuilt in the United States. It was opened for the public on October 28, 1886.

As you might expect, the statue is very big. Visitors can ride an elevator from the ground to the bottom of the statue. If they want to, they can then walk up the 168 steps to reach the head of the statue where they can look out and enjoy the beautiful sight of the city of New York.

A good title for this passage is ______.

听力原文：Interviewer (Woman) :Isn't advertising really a kind of lying？

Advertising man(Man) :I don't think so. Quite often people do try to get away with those types of things, but the Federal Trade Commission is always very quick to jump on them to force them to show evidence to back up a claim.

I: I mean in your work. I mean, don't you actually tell lies to get people to buy things？ let me give you an example. You know, a movie star says that she uses--a starlet--says that she uses a certain kind of soap every night to make her skin look beautiful and, of course, she doesn't use it at all, or hardly ever.

A: I think if you go back very recently, just within the last year, you'll remember that one of our famous singers and actors and was uh... called do, ma for just that very thing, where he endorsed a product which he didn't use and had to take back what he said in his endorsement.

I: I see, so what you're saying is that you're forced to be honest in the profession.

A: In some cases that may be true. I won't deny that.

I: Well, you've been in the ad. business for nearly fifteen years. What kind of work do you find most interesting？

A: I would say, developing new markets, or not so much new markets, but when you have a product which previously people didn't perceive that they needed, but it is an advancement or an improvement over what people previously used, and are able to educate people and inform. them of a partiular thing, and they discover it will make their life better mid it is something that they could use.

I: To try to make them understand what's going on with a new product.

A: Basically, that's it, This is where a lot of the progress or the amenities in life which we take the granted now.., this is how they originally developed. Somebody thought of a new idea and convinced people that it was something they needed and after a period of time, it become what they considered a necessity. In other words, the advertising as a promotion will make people aware of a product, but.., the product's own worth will determine whether or not it's something that people will bring into their daily lives.

I: And... I suppose that if it endures over a long period of time, that shows that the product really does have a stable value and that you've not lying,...

A: Well, I think that's a fair assumption. I ... won't try to tell you in promoting things, people never lie, but the initial promotion simply gets people to try a product for the first time. And if the product itself has any merit, then people will continue to use it. So, the quality of a product will determine whether it has any staying power.

The interviewer believes that ______.

A．advertising can't be a kind of lying

B．advertising must be a kind of lying

C．advertising is most likely to be a kind of lying

D．advertising may be a kind of lying

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： In America alone, tipping is now a $16 billion-a-year industry. Why should tips exist？ The conventional wisdom is that tips both reward the efforts of good service and reduces uncomfortable feelings of inequality.

Such explanations no doubt explain the purported origin of tipping--in the 16th century boxes in English taverns carried the phrase "To Insure Promptitude" (later TIP). But according to new research from Cornell University, tipping no longer serves any useful function.

Tipping is better explained by culture than by economics. In America, the custom has become institutionalized: it's regarded as part of the accepted cost of a service. In New York restaurants, failing to tip 15% could mean abuse from the waiter. In Europe, tipping is less common; in many restaurants, tipping is being replaced by a standard service charge. In many Asian countries, tipping has never really caught on.

How to account for these national differences？ Look no further than psychology. People more extrovert, sociable or neurotic tend to tip more. Tipping relieves anxiety about being served by strangers. In America, where people are outgoing and expressive, tipping is about social approval. If you tip badly, people think less of you. Tipping well is a chance to show off. Icelanders by contrast, do not usually tip--a measure of their introversion.

What is the original meaning of the tip？

A．It is to reward the efforts of good service.

B．It is a promise of on-time service.

C．It is used to reduce uncomfortable feelings of inequality.

D．It serves no useful function.
