听力原文： The Amazon River is one of the largest rivers in South America. It flows through

several countries, including Brazil. Several centuries ago, when the colonizing Spaniard and Portuguese first arrived in that area, they found a well-developed local civilization which gradually died out under the influence of the invaders. Nowadays the area is inhabited by local Indians, some of them primitive peoples, and peasant farmers, the mixed descendants of the Indians, the Europeans and the Africans once brought to the continent as slaves. The area around the Amazon-known as the Amazon Basin-is famous for its dense tropical rain forest covering millions of hectares of land. Many of the local Indians live in the forest itself, depending on it for their food, clothes and shelter. The farmers on the fringes of the forest increase their farmland by cutting down the trees and burning the undergrowth-a method known as "slash and burn" farming. As the country strives to develop, large monoculture plantations growing crops such as sugar and coffee for export occupy an increasing amount of land.

Several centuries ago, Spaniards and Portuguese came to the Amazon River area to _________.

A．plant trees

B．help the native Indians

C．colonize the area.

D．look for new residential places

听力原文：Huge quantities of African dust are blowing westward across the Atlantic Ocean ag

听力原文： Huge quantities of African dust are blowing westward across the Atlantic Ocean again-a seasonal advance that creates dense atmospheric hazes over the Caribbean and the southeastern United States. The dust from parched African deserts brings with it the potential for disease.

It is summertime in the northern hemisphere, and that means dusty skies in the western Atlantic, Each year, the region gets hundreds of tons of dust from northern Africa, where storms in the Sahara and Sahel generate clouds from fine particles in the arid topsoil. Trade winds carry them eastward to the Americas and the Caribbean.

Research shows that the dust reaches the northern Amazon basin between February and April. From June to October, the winds shift and transport it to Central and North America and the Caribbean.

Where does the dust come from？

A．The Caribbeans.

B．parched African deserts.

C．Northern Amazon basin.

D．North America and the Caribbean.

听力原文：For centuries, parrots have been prized pets because of their strange talent for

听力原文： For centuries, parrots have been prized pets because of their strange talent for imitating human speech. They are able to hear vocal ranges, memorize the tones, and then repeat what they have heard. Often this skill is used to entertain people. But recently, an Amazon parrot, named Baby, was able to put this ability to work by helping police break up a gang of burglars responsible for over＄ 50,000 in property theft.

Baby helped the police to identify the gang of thieves. A recent robbery victim reported to the Baytown, Texas police that her parrot, Baby started acting strangely and saying new phrases after the robbery. Before the robbery, Baby had only a twenty-eight word vocabulary; afterwards, the bird started saying the additional phrases "Come back, Robert!" and "Come on, Ronnie!".

The police detectives were delighted. Although one man had already been arrested, Ronnie and Robert were the names of their two top suspects who were believed to have aided the first man. Under questioning, this suspect explained what had happened. When the robbers entered the house, they heard Baby talking and thought that someone was home. Ronnie and Robert began running away, while the third man yelled for them to come back. Baby remembered this incident and recorded their voices in her memory.

(33)

A．A victim.

B．A police detective.

C．A robber.

D．A pet bird.

听力原文：This week some big internet sites were so busy that they stopped working. Hackers

听力原文： This week some big internet sites were so busy that they stopped working. Hackers or people who break into other people's computers did it. Experts think programs called Tribal Village were used.

The programs worked like time bombs. The hackers put software on other people's computers. The people do not even know. The software just sits and waits until the hacker starts it. When the hacker wants, all the computers call the same web site. This week Yahoo, Amazon and CNN were called.

The costs are growing. These web sites make money from advertising. People go to the web sites for information and news. If the web site is not, working, they will go to other sites.

Yahoo got many calls. It was like 104 million people dialing in at once.

The website AntiOnline put the software on its site. They hope someone will make a fix.

The only way to stop the hackers is to stop them from getting into computers. Now it is easy to get into many computers.

Webmasters are in a tough spot. The goal is to have a site open and easy to reach. This also makes them open to hackers.

Why do hackers do this？ Probably because other hackers will praise them. The hackers could also be sick and tired of the commercialization of the Internet. 5o far all of the targets have been very large, mid very commercial.

(33)

A．Someone who breaks into and uses someone else's computer.

B．Someone who breaks commercials.

C．Someone who fixes someone else's computer.

D．Someone who does not know about computers.

听力原文：Botany, the study of plants, occupies a peculiar position in the history of human

听力原文： Botany, the study of plants, occupies a peculiar position in the history of human knowledge. For many thousands of years it was the one field of awareness about which humans had anything more than the vaguest of insights. It is impossible to know today just what our Stone Age ancestors knew about plants, but from what we can observe of pm-industrial societies that still exist, a detailed learning of plants and their properties must be extremely ancient. This is logic al.

Plants are the basis of the food pyramid for all living things, even for other plants. They have always been enormously important to the welfare of people, not only for food, but also for clothing, weapons, tools, dyes, medicines, shelter, and a great many other purposes. Tribes living today in the jungles of the Amazon recognize literally hundreds of plants and know many properties of each. To them, botany, as such, has no name and is probably ' not even recognized as a special branch of "knowledge" at all.

Unfortunately, the more industrialized we become, the farther away we move from direct contact with plants, and the less distinct our knowledge of botany grows. Yet everyone unconsciously has an amazing amount of botanical knowledge, and few people will fail to recognize a rose, an apple, or an orchid. Our Neolithic ancestors, living in the Middle East about 10,000 years ago, discovered that certain grasses could be harvested and their seeds planted for richer yields the next season. That was the first great step in a new association between plants and animals. Grains were discovered and from them flowed the marvel of agriculture: cultivated crops.

(30)

A．Botany is a very ancient learning.

B．People in the Stone Age knew a lot about plants.

C．People in the Stone Age knew little about plants.

D．Pre-industrial societies have little insights about plants.

听力原文： The portable, paperless e-newspapers would be a huge environmental win, elimi

nating the need to cut down trees and burn gasoline delivering the traditional folded parcels to readers driveways. Like many technologies, however, e-paper has been slow to take off. In the past year, since Amazon introduced its Kindle electronic reading device, thousands of Americans have experienced the pleasures of e-books — but for most people, e-newspapers arent yet a reality. Millions of us already read paperless newspapers and magazines on the Web, but e-newspapers would offer different benefits for both readers and publishers. For consumers who already spend too many hours staring at PC screens, e-newspapers would offer portability and a simple reading environment, free from e-mail bells ringing or instant messages popping up mid-paragraph. Among publishers, theres real hope readers will pay subscription fees for those benefits, and that advertisers will pay considerably more for ads on e-readers than they do on the Web. For a primitive look at how e-newspapers might work, consider the Kindle. Amazon currently offers 24 newspapers for use on the device. Subscribers pay $5.99 to $14.99 per month, and each issue arrives wirelessly before sunrise. However, e-reader enthusiasts describe reading a newspaper on the Kindle as disappointing. The Kindles black-and-white screen doesnt handle photographs or graphics well, and its e-papers carry no advertising. Instead of offering well-designed pages that entice readers to skim a story they might otherwise skip, todays e-newspapers merely list headlines or tops of articles, which makes it hard to decide whats worth reading. Questions 16 to 18 are based on the passage you have just heard. 16. Which can best describe the benefit of e-newspapers？ 17. What can we learn about Kindle？ 18. Which is the disappointing feature of reading e-newspapers on the Kindle？16．

A．It offers 24-hour newspaper service.

B．It is only sold on Amazon"s website in the US.

C．It is a portable e-newspaper reading device.

D．It can be rented at $5.99 to $14.99 monthly.
