听力原文：Ladies and Gentlemen,
Now we have come to the most exciting and most impressive part of this island trip, The Elephant Walk. If you are interested, you may choose to ride an elephant to have a tour around. All the elephants here are professionally trained for the purpose. Don't worry if you feel it difficult to climb onto such a gigantic animal; our assistants will be there to help you. Generally speaking, there are four ways to climb onto an elephant. The first is the easiest for the passenger and the most uncomfortable for the elephant. With a command of 'Baitho!' , the elephant kneels. You climb up to the seat by stepping on the top of the front part of either leg, holding onto the ear, and pulling yourself up. The second way is more difficult. Upon the command of 'Utha! Utha!', the elephant lifts either of its front legs and, holding onto the ear, you step onto the leg and are raised up as in a lift. The third is over the backside. The elephant lowers one of its back legs and you simply catch hold of the tail. The fourth, the expert's way, is by the trunk. It looks so elegant and simple. As the trunk is lowered to the ground, you place your foot in the middle and then hold onto both ears. The result is that you are lifted up and over and onto the elephant's back.
According to the man, why shouldn't people be worried about climbing onto an elephant？
A．Because elephants are mild animals.
B．Because elephants are trained to carry goods.
C．Because people have designed safe ways for the climbing.
D．Because people will be aided by professional assistants.

Part A
Directions: Read the following four texts. Answer the questions below each text by choosing A, B, C or D . Mark your answers on ANSWER SHEET 1.
Two main techniques have been used for training elephants, which we may call respectively the tough and the gentle. The former method simply consists of setting an elephant to work and beating him until he does what is expected of him. Apart from any moral considerations this is a stupid method of training, for it produces a resentful animal who at later stage may well turn into a man-killer. The gentle method requires more patience in the early stages, but produces a cheerful, good-tempered elephant who will give many years of loyal service.
The first essential in elephant training is it assigns to the animal a single mahout who will be entirely responsible for the job. Elephants like to have one master just as dogs do; and are capable of a considerable degree of personal auction. There are even stories of half trained elephant calves who have refused to feed and pained to death when by some unavoidable circum stance they have been deprived of their own trainer. Such extreme case must probably be taken with a grain of salt, but they do underline the general principle that the relationship between elephant and mahout is the key to successful training.
The most economical age to capture an elephant for training is between fifteen and twenty years, for it is then almost ready to undertake heavy work and can begin to earn its keep straight away. But animals of this age do not easily become subservient to man, and a very firm hand must be employed in the early stages. The captive elephant, still roped to tree, plunges and screams every time a man approaches, and for several days will probably refuse all food through anger and fear. Sometimes a tame elephant is tethered nearby to give the wild one confidence, and in most cases the captive gradually quietens down and begins to accept its food. The next stage is to get the elephant to the training establishment, a ticklish business which is achieved with the aid if two tame elephants roped to the captive on either side.
When several elephants are being trained at one time, it is customary for the new arrival to be placed between the stalls of two captives whose training is already well advanced. It is then left completely undisturbed with plenty of food and water so that it can absorb the atmosphere of its new home and see that nothing particular alarming is happening to its companions. When it is eating normally, its own training begins. The trainer stands in front of the elephant holding a long stick with a sharp metal point. Two assistants, mounted on tamed elephants, control the captive from either side, while others rub their hands over his skin to the accompaniment of a monotonous and soothing chant. This is supposed to induce pleasurable sensations in the elephant, and its effects are reinforced by the use of endearing epithets, such as" Ho f My son", or" Ho ! My father", according to the age and sex of the captive. The elephant is not immediately susceptible to such blandishments, however, and usually lashes fiercely with its trunk in all directions. These movements are controlled by the trainer with the metal-pointed stick, and trunk eventually becomes so sore that the elephant curls it up and afterwards uses it for offensive purposes.
The ill-treatment of an elephant during training______.
A．can have unpleasant consequences later
B．is the most effective method available
C．increases the time it takes to train the animal
D．ensures loyal service for years to come

Most of the elephants you see are Indian elephants. But sometimes you see an African eleph
ant. You can easily tell the two apart by looking at their ears. African elephants have ears at least twice as big as those of an Indian elephant. But there are also many other differences between the Indian elephant and its African cousin.
点击查看答案
The Indian elephant has a bulging forehead and a back that is convex, or bowed out. The African elephant has a sloping forehead, and its back usually has a dip in it behind the shoulders. The trunk of the Indian elephant tends to be smoother than that of its African cousin. Indian elephants have five toenails on their front feet and four on their hind feet. African elephants may have one nail fewer on each foot.
Indian elephants roam the forests of India, Sri Lanka, Burma, Malaysia, Sumatra, and Borneo. African elephants range over most of Africa south of the Sahara.
Some scientists divide African elephants into two species -- the larger bush elephant and the smaller forest elephant. The forest elephant lives in the Congo River basin. It has smaller rounder ears, and it grows only about 2.5 meters tall. Adult bush elephants are somewhat larger even than Indian elephants. Big males may be 3.5 meters high at the shoulder and weigh more than 6 metric tons.
Both Indian and African elephants have all the toes on each foot enclosed in a common covering of skin. Only the toenails show. Both, as adults, have tough, leathery hides that may be an inch thick. Both have very little hair. But their eyes are fringed with lashes that sometimes measure more than 12 centimeters long. And their tails are tipped with clusters of thick, wiry hair. Both Indian and African elephants live in herds, and their ways of life are very much the same.
Which of the following is NOT true of the African elephants？
A．They live to the south of the Sahara.
B．They can be divided into two species.
C．They are all larger than Indian elephants.
D．They have bigger ears than the Indian elephants.

听力原文： Antarctica has nine-tenths of all the world's ice. If all this ice melted, the level of the world's oceans would rise 250 feet. Most cities along the coast would be drowned. In New York Harbor, water would almost cover the Statue of Liberty's head. But the ice in Antarctica does not melt. The temperature stays well below freezing the year round in most places. Antarctica is the coldest place on earth. The temperature there has been known to drop to more than 100 degrees below zero.
Antarctica does not have much plant life. Only a few simple plants such as mosses can grow there. The climate is so harsh, and food so scare, that people cannot settle in Antarctica. But along the coasts of the continent there are many birds, fish and animals.
Thousands of whales and millions of seals swim in Antarctica seas. Six kinds of seals are found. The fur seal, the smallest, has long been hunted for its silky fur. The tough-skinned elephant seal is the largest. It can weigh as much as four tons.
Most of the world's whaling takes place in Antarctica waters. The blue whale is the largest animal that has ever lived.
A number of birds live in Antarctica, and fly over the water and ice. Penguins are the best-known of Antarctic birds. They cannot fly, but they have flipper-wings, which make them strong swimmers.

听力原文： I suddenly heard an elephant crying as though frightened. Looking down, I immediately recognized that something was wrong, and ran down to the edge of the near bank. There I saw Ma Shwe with her three-month-old baby struggling in the fast-rising water, and it was a life-and-death struggle. Her baby was floating and screaming with fear. Ma Shwe was as near to the far bank as she could get, holding her whole body against the rushing water, and keeping the baby pressed against her huge body. Every now and then the rushing water would sweep the baby away. There was a sudden rise in the water and the baby was washed clean over the mother's body and was gone. Ma Shwe turned quickly to reach it and pressed the baby with her head and trunk against the rocky bank. Then with a huge effort, she picked it up in her trunk and tried until she was able to place it on a narrow shelf of rock.
Just at this moment, she felt back into the river. If she were carried down, it would be certain death. I knew, as well as she did, that there was one spot where she could get up the bank, but it was on the other side from where she had put her baby. While I was wondering what I could do next, I heard the sound of a mother's love. Ma Shwe had crossed the river and got up the bank and was making her way back as fast as she could, roaring all the time. But to her baby it was music.
Questions 30 to 32 are based on the passage you have just heard.
30. What did the speaker see the moment he got down to the river bank？
31. How did Ma Shwe manage to save her baby from the fast-flowing water？
32. How did the baby feel about the mother elephant's roaring？
(27)
A．The baby was about to fall into the river.
B．Ma Shwe was placing the baby on the rock.
C．The baby was washed away by the rising water.
D．Ma Shwe was holding the baby against the rushing water.
