听力原文： Officials of the World Food Program, WFP, said they are receiving information that famine has gripped parts of Central Afghanistan. WFP officials say as the winter snow begins to melt and high mountain paths begin to clear, local leaders and international aid workers are reporting some people are dying of starvation. Officials say a major disaster affecting hundreds of thousands of people may be in the making. The Taliban are blocking food deliveries to central Afghanistan. The UN has warned for several months that more than 1 million people are suffering from the blockade and 160,000 face starvation. An emergency air-lift of food to central provinces was cancelled earlier this year when the Taliban bombed the local airport. WFP officials say existing food stocks in that area are exhausted and an emergency effort will be launched to bring wheat and potatoes into the area.

SECTION B INTERVIEW

Directions: In this section you will hear everything ONCE ONLY. Listen carefully and then answer the questions that follow. Questions 1 to 5 are based on an interview. At the end of the interview you will be given 10 seconds to answer each of the following five questions.

Now listen to the interview.

听力原文：Chairperson: Good evening ladles and gentlemen. It's nice to see so many of you here. Well, I'd like to introduce our two guests this evening: Mr. Andrew Frobisher, who has spent many years in Malaysia in the 1950s and 60s and knows the country very well indeed. And, on my right, Mr. Harry Benson who's an agricultural economist.

Benson: Good evening.

Frobisher: Good evening.

Chairperson: Well, erm ... the purpose of this evening is to find out more about that fascinating substance, rubber, and the effects that it has on that fascinating country, Malaysia, Erm erm ... I believe erm ... er Mr. Frohisher, erm ... that Malaysia is at the same time an extremely rich and rather poor country. Erm ... how is this possible？

Frobisher: Yes, well, that's quite true, Monica. Malaysia's population is by now over 13 million, and er per head o... on paper the citizens are richer than those of the UK. But...

Benson: But of course that wealth is not so evenly distributed. In fact in 1981, it was estimated that 37% of the population were below the poverty line...

Frobisher: Yeah, well ... whatever that means ... and anyway shouldn't it be, er, was below the poverty line.

Benson: Yes, of course. Sorry, Andrew.

Frobisher: Yes, well, erm ... as I was saying, much of Malaysia’s wealth is based on rubber. Now I remember my planting days...

Benson: Yes, yes, yes, you’re quite right there Andrew. Rubber represents about 20% of the Gross National Product and 30% of export earnings. This puts Malaysia in a very good position internationally since rubber is an example of what we might call a "post-industrial industry".

Frobisher: Well, what do you mean by that？

Benson: Er ... excuse me ... yes, what does that mean？

Frobisher: What is a pest-industrial erm ... society？

Benson: Manufacturing industries are based on fossil fuels, for example, coal and oil. Now, the problem is that these will not last forever. They are finite. Sooner or later they will run out! Now, rubber is a natural product. The energy source involved in its creation is sunlight. Now sunlight, we hope, will outlast coal and oil, and best of all, sunlight is free. So, it is much cheaper to produce natural rubber which as we all know comes from trees, than to use up all those fossil fuels, both as fuels and as raw materials, in making synthetic rubber in factories. Rubber is one of the world’s strategic products, so you can see what a good position Malaysia is in, and it would help if she could produce more...

Chairperson: Er ... well, what stands in the way then？

Frobisher: Ah, well, well it's the way they go about cultivating it. You see, I remember in my day just after...

Benson: Yes, most people have this image of vast estates, centrally run, but that’s just not the case, even if almost a quarter of the population is involved, one way or another, with the production of rubber ...

Frobisher: Yeah well, that's if you count the families...

Benson: Oh, yes, yes, yes, almost 3 million people are involved, but the picture is a very fragmented one. Do you realize that there are 2 million hectares of land under cultivation for rubber in Malaysia, but that 70% of this area is divided among smallholders-half a million of them-who between them produce 60% of the country' s rubber？

Frobisher: Well, there's nothing wrong with that i ... in terms of quality of life, though I remember, yes, quite right ... just after the war there was...

Benson: Yes, quite right. But being a smallholder does present problems. For example, when it comes to replacing old trees-you'll know about this, Andrew-and the avera

A．the development of the rubber industry in Malaysia

B．the impact of rubber industry on Malaysia

C．the uneven distribution of wealth in Malaysia

听力原文：Interviewer: Good morning Mr. Pitt. Do sit down.

Pitt: Thank you.

Interviewer: First of all, Mr. Pitt, I'd like you to tell me a little about what you've been doing.

Pitt: Well, I left school after I'd done my A Levels.

Interviewer: Ah, yes, A levels. What subjects did you take？

Pitt: I took four subjects, French, German, chemistry and art. Chemistry wasn't my cup of tea, but art always has been.

Interviewer: Art？

Pitt: Well, I really wanted to study art. It didn't turn out like that, because a friend of my fathers offered me a job. It's an accountant in London. A quite big firm, you know.

Interviewer: I see. A firm of accountants. Interesting. In your application, you say that you only spent nine months with this firm of accountants. Why was that？

Pitt: It was nearly a year, actually. Well, to be quite honest, I didn't like it. I just couldn't seem to get interested in the job although there were fairly good prospects. So I got a place at the art college to do a three-year diploma course. Interviewer: I see. Now Mr. Pitt, what about hobbies and interests？ Er, what do you do in your spare time？

Pitt: I like jazz, traditional and folk music. I don't play, of course, but I do go to quite a lot of concerts and I go to the theater occasionally and act a bit myself. I'm in the local Germanic society. I read quite a lot and I've done a bit of photography. Also, I've traveled a lot—hitchhiked all over Europe. Last year, that was.

Interviewer: Very interesting, Mr. Pitt. I think, that's all I wanted to ask about your background. Now let's talk about the management trainee schedule. What exactly do you think a manager does？

Pitt: I don't know a great deal about the work.

Interviewer: But you... have you got any ideas about it？ You must have thought about it.

Pitt: Well, I... suppose he has a lot of... er... what is called, policy-making to do. And... he has to know how to work with people, and all about the company.

Interviewer: Mm...

Pitt: Yes, I... should think a manager must know something about all aspects of the work.

Interviewer: Yes, that's right. We like our executive staff to undergo a thorough training. Young men on our trainee schedule have to work through every branch in the company.

Pitt: Oh.

Interviewer: And one of them is accountancy. Presumably you wouldn't like that.

Pitt: Well, if I had to do it, I suppose.., but I was thinking that my French and German would mean that I could specialize in overseas work. I'd like to be some sort of an export salesman and travel abroad.

Interviewer: You know, the glamour of travelling abroad disappears when you've got a hard job or work to do. It's not all fun and game.

Pitt: Oh, yes, I realize that. It's just that my knowledge of languages would be useful.

Interviewer: Now, Mr. Pitt, is there anything you want to ask me？

Pitt: Well, there is one or two things. I'd like to know if I have to sign a contract and what the salary and prospects are.

Interviewer: With our scheme, Mr. Pitt, there is no contract involved. Your progress is kept under constant review. If we, at any time, decide we don't like you, then that's that. We reserve the right to dismiss you.

Pitt: I see.

Interviewer: Of course. You have the same choice about us.

Pitt: Fair enough. And what about the salary？

Interviewer: As for salary, you'll be on our fixed scales, starting at 870 pounds. For the successful trainee, the prospects are very good.

Pitt: I see. Thank you very much.

Interviewer: That's all, Mr. Pitt. You should hear from us in a couple of weeks. One way or the other, or we may ask you to come back for another chat. Thank you.

Pitt: Goodbye, Mrs. Williams.

What subject is Mr. Pitt good at？

A．Art.

B．French.

C．German.

D．Chemistry.
