In contrast, most people in Africa and Asia continue to live in poverty, with only a handful of countries in both continents having an income of more than $1,000 per person. Japan was the richest non - oil producing nation in Asia, with an annual income of $ 4,910 per head. This contrasts sharply with Bangladesh's $110,india's $150,and China's $ 4

听力原文： Three of the world's smallest countries—Kuwait, the United Arab Emirates (UAE), and Qatar—have the highest average incomes per person, according to a recent World Bank publication which measures income, output, and world populations. The small populations of these countries, combined with their tremendous oil wealth, resulted in a per capita income of ＄15,480 in Kuwait, ＄13,990 in UAE, and ＄11,400 in Qatar. By contrast, Bhutan, the tiny kingdom surrounded by India and Tibet, was the world's poorest country with per capita income of only ＄70.
The publication also shows that the richest of the industrial countries, Sweden, had an income of ＄8,670 per person, followed by the United States at ＄7,890, and Germany with ＄7,380. Europe remained the world's richest continent, with only two countries—Albania and Turkey—having per capita incomes of less than＄1,000.
In contrast, most people in Africa and Asia continue to live in poverty, with only a handful of countries in both continents having an income of more than ＄1,000 per person. Japan was the richest non-oil producing nation in Asia, with an annual income of ＄4,910 per head. This contrasts sharply with Bangladesh's ＄110, India's ＄150, and China's ＄410.
The three world's richest industrial countries are ______.
A．Kuwait, UAE, Qatar
B．Kuwait, UAE, Turkey
C．Sweden, USA, Germany

Woman: Hi, good evening. It's my honor to be here to share my knowledge with everybody.
Man: So, professor, I wonder if all the Arabs speak the same language, Arabic, just like people living in the North America all speak English.
Woman: It is generally thought that Arabic is a single language, spoken, written and understood by people in countries as widely separated as Iraq, Egypt and Morocco, but this is not so. It is only written Arabic (that is, the Classical Arabic of the Koran and the Modem Arabic of contemporary literature, journalism and broadcasting), that is more or less common to the whole of the Arab world. The colloquial Arabic, which is spoken in the different Arab societies today, differs as widely between Arab countries as do Italian, Spanish and Portuguese.
Man: That's surprising! So you mean all the Arabs from different countries can understand others' written language, but not the spoken language？
Woman: You are partly right. In the Arab world, written Arabic acts as a kind of Esperanto, providing a means of communication between educated people of different Arab nationalities. Written Arabic is, paradoxically, spoken too: on the radio and television, in public speeches, as well as between Arabs from different countries. We could call it pan Arabic. It is used in rather the same way as Latin was used by educated people in Europe in the Middle Ages.
Man: It seems as if there are a lot of differences between written Arabic and colloquial Arabic. Shall we say that they belong to one language？
Woman: It's a little complicated to explain. As we all know, even in English, of course, there are differences of grammar and vocabulary between the written and spoken language, but this difference is far less than that between the artificial pan-Arabic and the living colloquial language of any Arab country. Moreover, both written and spoken English are recognized in English-speaking countries as belonging to one living language, and both are taught in schools. Colloquial Arabic, on the other hand, is not regarded by the people who speak it as "proper" Arabic. Unlike colloquial English, it is not taught in schools, and it is not written; indeed, there is a strong feeling in Arab societies that it should not be used in a written form.
Man: So what language, pan-Arabic or colloquial Arabic, does an Arab, say, an Egyptian, use mainly in his everyday life？
Woman: An educated Egyptian uses pan-Arabic to talk to equally educated Iraqis, Saudis and Moroccans. No reasonable man, however, wishes to talk like a book or a newspaper, and the language that the same educated Egyptian uses with his family and with other Egyptians is quite different. This language is wholly Egyptian, and it is only spoken.
Questions:
11.What mistaken view do most people hold about Arabic？
12.According to the talk, which language is more or less common to the whole of the Arab world？
13.How is pan-Arabic similar to Esperanto？
14.Which of the following is NOT taught in schools？
15.Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the talk？
(31)
A．That colloquial Arabic is the everyday spoken language, which varies from country to country.
B．That Arabic is just one language that all Arabs understand, speak and write.
C．That classical Arabic and Modern Arabic are two different kinds of written Arabic.
D．That pan-Arabic provides a means of communication between educated people of different Arab nationalities.

听力原文： Coffee is one of the most popular beverage throughout the world today. In fact, according to some estimates, over 30% of all adults in the world drink coffee at least once a day on the average.
Coffee contains a kind of drug called caffeine. Caffeine is a chemical substance that stimulates the nerves of the body. Drinking coffee tends to make people a little bit more awake or alert2--at least for a short time-- because of this stimulating effect on the nervous system. A cup of coffee has, on the average, about 3% caffeine in it.
One story of the discovery of the coffee plant relates to the effect of caffeine. According to the story, coffee was discovered in southern Ethiopia--in East Africa--in a province called Kaffa. The story says that coffee was first found by a goat farmer, or rather a goat herder named Kaldi. This was in about the year 850, according to the story, Kaldi, the goat herder, was leading his animals through the mountains and the goats were stopping constantly to eat plants near the path. Suddenly, some of the goats started jumping up and down in a very strange way. Kaldi figured out that the goats were acting this way because of the plants they were eating. Kaldi himself tried eating some of the green beans that the goats had been eating. He, too, felt the stimulating effect of the beans.
Kaldi wanted to prove what had happened, so he picked some of the beans and took them back to his home village, where he told his story.
The green bean got the name "Kaffa" and later "coffee" because the beans were discovered in the province called Kaffa in Ethiopia.
Then, for years, people used to eat a few of the green Kaffa beans when they were in the mountains and needed extra energy or stimulation. It was later found that the coffee beans could be picked and then dried until they turned brown, and then they could be stored. If the beans were dried and stored, they could be used at any time.
When the coffee beans were dried, however, they were too hard to eat, as had been done before. There- fore, people began to crush the beans into small pieces--and then boil the pieces in hot water--and make a hot drink.
Gradually, it became common to drink this hot beverage in Ethiopia. Next, the hot coffee drink became popular among Arab travelers who visited Ethiopia. The Arabic word "Kawah" means coffee.
After coffee drinking became common in the Arab countries, its popularity spread to Europe. Once again, it was spread by travelers. In the 16th and 17th centuries travelers and traders from Europe began to visit the Arab countries. The Arab merchants and shopkeepers served coffee to the Europeans. Apparently, the Europeans liked coffee and as travel increased, the amount of coffee drunk in Europe increased.
Gradually, the European traders and explorers introduced coffee drinking to the people in North American and Asia. Coffee drinking increased rapidly in the late 1700's and 1800's. Today it remains a popular hot drink in many places.

The potato is also from the New World. Around 1600, the Spanish brought it from Peru to Europe, where it soon was widely grown. Ireland became so dependent on it that thousands of Irish people starved when the crop failed during the “Potato Famine(饥荒)” of 1845-1846, and thousands more were forced to leave their homeland and move to America.
There are many other foods that have traveled from South America to the Old World. But some others went in the opposite direction. Brazil is now the world’s largest grower of coffee, and coffee is an important crop in Colombia and other South American countries. But it is native to Ethiopia, a country in Africa. It was first made into a drink by Arab during the 1400’s.
According to an Arabic legend, coffee was discovered when a person name Kaldi noticed that his goats were attracted to the red berries on a coffee bush. He tried one and experienced the “wide-awake” feeling that one-third of the world’s population now starts the day with.

D．Language.
The modern Olympic Games began in Athens in 1896 as a result of the initiative of Baron Pierre de Coubertin, a French educator whose desire was to promote international understanding through athletics. Nine nations participated in the first Games; over 100 nations currently compete.
The taint of politics and racial controversy, however, has impinged upon the Olympic Games in our epoch. In 1936 Hitler, whose country hosted the Games, affronted Jesse Owens, a black American runner, by refusing to congratulate Owens for the feat of having won four gold medals. In the 1972 Munich Games, the world was appalled by the deplorable murder of eleven Israeli athletes by Arab terrorists. The next Olympic Games in Montreal were boycotted by African nations; in addition, Taiwan Province withdrew. In 1980, following the former Soviet invasion of Afghanistan, sixty-two nations caused great dismay to their athletes by refusing to participate in the Games. The consensus among those nations was that their refusal would admonish the Soviets.
According to the passage, the first Olympic games were held ______.
A．as a religious festival
B．for political reasons
C．as an international competition
D．as a professional athletes' competition
