The words and music are an updated version of "We Are the World," a song that raised at least $ 30 millions for African humanitarian programs 25 years ago.

听力原文: Various kinds of nuclear weapons have been produced in the past few years by many countries. This is a new and a terrible development in the history of man. Very few events can be more frightful than a nuclear war. In a nuclear war, most of the world's population will be exterminated. (15[C])The few living Creatures that survive will be exposed to radiation or to electrical rays harmful to life. It has been said by scientists that many new diseases will be caused by radiation. (16[B])There will also be an acute shortage of food, for all the crops and stores will be poisoned by radiation. Most of the areas on which nuclear bombs have been dropped will be ruined. (17[A])Therefore the survivors of a nuclear war will be sick, hungry and homeless. It might be better; perhaps, to be killed in a nuclear war than to survive it. It would be better still for men to learn to live in peace with one another. If this can be achieved there will be no nuclear wars.
If nuclear bombs are dropped on an area the survivors will ______.
A.hide in their houses
B.store more food
C.be very sick
D.grow more crops
听力原文:M: I really appreciate your filling in on yesterday's lecture.
W: No problem. I thought you might want to go over it together. And, anyway, it helps me revtew.
M: I am. Thanks. So, you said she talked about squid? Sounds a little strange ....
W: Well, actually, it was about the evolution of sea life — a continuation from last week. The octopus and the squid descended from earlier creatures with shells. They survived by shedding their shells—somewhere between 200 and 500 million years ago.
M: That's a pretty long span of time.
W: I know. That's what she said, though. To be precise: "Exactly when they emerged is uncertain...and why is still unexplained."
M: Some squid are really huge. Can you imagine something that big ifit still had a shell?
W: Actually, it's because they lost their shells that they could evolve to a bigger size.
M: Make sense. But some are really huge. I've read about fishermen that caught squid that weighed over a ton. Did she talk about how that happens?
W: Not really. But she did mention some unusual cases. In 1933 in New Zealand they caught a squid let's see here it was twenty-two yards long. Its eyes were eighteen inches across. Can you imagine?
M: Reminds me of all those stories of sea monsters.

Say goodbye to the Mountain Gorilla. Say farewell to the Short Tailed Chinchilla.
That's the conclusion of the United Nations Environment Program's(UNEP) Third Global Environmental Outlook Report. The report was compiled(编写) for the UN from the work of 1,100 scientists. It predicts the state of the planet in the year 2032 based on the policies and practices of the last 30 years. If these continue, UNEP says, we're going to be living on a very lonely planet. By 2032, one quarter of the world's mammal species(哺乳动物种群) will disappear. They will be joined by 12% of the world's bird species. And according to UNEP, 5,611 species of plants will also be wiped out-but since only 4% of the world's plant species have been examined in detail, that figure will probably be much higher.
UNEP blames a variety of causes, from poverty and overpopulation to pollution, global warming and profit-driven economic and trade policies. But there is some good news. There has been an 85% reduction in the use of chemicals, for instance. And around 10% of the earth's surface is in protected areas like national parks, five times as much as 30 years ago.
"We can never know for certain what lies before us," said a UNEP official. "The future is another country. But we can see how our actions or lack of actions might shape the environment and the inhabitants(居民) of this extraordinary blue planet by 2032."
At the beginning of the passage, "Mountain Gorilla" and "Short Tailed Chinchilla" seem to be some ______.
A.mountains
B.rivers
C.animals
D.sceneries

" How far is it to the next village?" the American asks a man sitting by the side of the road. In some countries, because the man realizes that the traveler is tired and eager to get to his destination (目的地) , he will politely say " Just down the road. " He thinks this is more encouraging , gentler, and therefore the wanted answer. So the American drives through the night, getting more and more angry, feeling " tricked". He thinks the man purposely cheated him, for obviously he must have known the distance quite well.
Had conditions been turned over, the American would have felt he was "cheating" the driver if he had said the next town was close when he knew it was really 15 miles further on. Though, he, too, would be sympathetic(同情的)to the weary driver, he would say "You have a good way to go
yet; it is at least 15 miles. "The driver might be disappointed, but he would know what to expect.
Whether to be correct or polite leads to many misunderstandings between people of different
cul-tures. If you are aware of the situation in advance, it is sometimes easier to recognize the problem.
61. The man at the roadside tells the American it is close to the next village because
[ A] he is playing a trick on him
