Part A

Directions: Read the following four texts. Answer the questions below each text by choosing A, B, C or D. (40 points)

Karim Nasser Miran lives on a bench in the Charles de Gaulle Airport on the outskirts of Paris. He has been living there for 11 years. Amazingly, this little seat by a basement shopping mall, between a pizzeria and a fast-food stand has been the only place he has been allowed to stay for all that time.

His possessions are crammed into an airport trolleys, which is always beside him. He has a sports bag which holds his few clothes, a shopping bag with his washing soap and other bathroom goods, and books and his diaries which he keeps in cardboard boxes.

For years, the 54-year-old Miran has been trying to leave Charles de Gaulle Airport but authorities will not let him out of the air port. This strange set of circumstances has continued for 11 years.

Miran was born in Iran, but is stateless] because he has no documents to prove his citizenry. They have been lost. For this reason he cannot get a passport. Miran says that his mother is Danish or Scottish. His father died when Miran was just over 20 years old, so he left I ran for Britain searching for his mother. He could not find her, and returned to Iran. He lost his citizenship and tried to return to Britain. When the British asked him about relatives who could guarantee him a job, he could not tell the immigration officials their names as he was still searching for,.them.

He tried to enter Germany, Russia and Holland without success. He managed to get into Belgium where he was'given refugee status. Five years later he left for France, but he says the document which gave him refugee status, and the right to travel, was stolen from him. He could not leave the Charles de Gaulle Airport. This;vas in 1988. Eleven years later he was still searching for them.

To start with, friendly airport workers gave him free meals, and let him use the shower and toilets there. They even gave him access to a phone, and called the airport doctor when Miran did not feel well.

Miran became such a permanent fixture of Terminal One that all the workers started to call him Monsieur Alfred. Each day they greeted him, each day Miran wrote in his diary in order to keep trace of his own world, and each day he failed to release himself from his giant, glass-and-concrete prison.

But in 1999, Miran became confident that he might be able to leave the airport terminal and start a new life. Officials told him they finally located a key document, issued in 1981 but lost in 1988, which could be his ticket to freedom.

Even after eleven years in the airport terminal, Miran said he had not lost hope. He did a correspondence course to help to educate himself. Every day the airport post office carefully set aside all the mail addressed to him with his written lessons to be done. Every day he set, all alarm clock to ring at 7 a.m. and after his tea and food he would begin studying. The ambition he built up was to return to Brussels to do a degree.

听力原文： Welcome to "Consumer Today", the program aired daily this time, devoted to the consumers of the Washington Metropolitan area and their problems. Today's consumer complaint letter comes from Mrs. Arnie Smelt of Mac Clean, Virginia, who says:

"We've been living near the Dulles International Airport for five years and there has always been a noise problem caused by airplanes taking off and landing. But now that the Super Sonic Transport Jets are allowed to land at Dulles, the noise has become intolerable. We would like to sell our house and move to a quieter place, but we can't find a buyer who is willing to pay us anything near what the house is worth. What can we do？"

In response to Mrs. Smelt's letter we have contacted the Environmental Protection Agency and they told us that there is nothing they can do about this problem. The Federal Aviation Administration gave us a similar answer. It seems that the United States Congress has final authority in this matter. Therefore we would like to urge each and every one of you listening to our program today to help by writing several letters: a letter to your district representative and a letter to each of your senators. Then, if you are brave enough, write a letter to the President telling him your opinion about the SST being allowed to use Dulles Airport.

Questions:

1.Where is Dulles International Airport？

2.Which kind of pollution does Mrs. Smelt complain of？

3.Who was contacted by the "Consumer Today" employees in response to Mrs. Smelt's complaint？

4.Who has final authority in this problem？

(21)

A．Near New York City.

B．Near Richmond Virginia.

C．Los Angeles.

D．Near Washington.

Section B

Directions: There are 2 passages in this section. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. You should decide on the best choice.

The organization called Ducks Unlimited, a sporting magazine tells us it has funneled over＄30 million into Canada to increase the number of ducks migrating down the Mississippi. The same magazine goes on to hope that "millions of sportsman will acquaint millions of non-sportsmen with the importance of hunting and fishing to conservation." These stirring words have moved me to seek general support for a project called Hunters Unlimited.

In the Hawaiian archipelago(群岛)there is one island never visited by tourists. It is Kahoolawe, about ten miles long and five miles wide, situated a few miles southwest of Maui. Like all the other Hawaiian islands, it is mountainous, rising to 1,477 feet above sea level; not really green, it seems to possess a rugged beauty; since it is without fresh water, it has always been uninhabited. During and ever since World War II it has been used as a target area by the Navy and Air Force and is now covered with live explosives. In consonance with the principle of multiple use of public lands, I propose that Kahoolawe serve as a location for Hunters Unlimited—only the first let us hope, of many such parks.

Arrangements would be simple; once a week a boat would ferry hunters and their equipment from Maui and take off any survivors able to get to the landing. The Navy and Air Force, naturally, would refrain from target practice, and the hunters observe a cease-fire, for the necessary hours. Most hunters, coming from the mainland, would have had to fly to Honolulu Airport, and then to Kahului, on the island of Maui, whence a shuffle bus service would transport them to the ferry at Maalaea Bay. It might become profitable to enlarge the airport at Kahului to accommodate full-size jets, so that a hunter could have breakfast in Los Angeles, fly direct, and be ferried to the hunting grounds by midday. Airlines might well offer a round-trip passage for the price of a one-way fare. So few sportsmen could take advantage of the return flight that the financial loss would be negligible.

A．get to know

B．fight against

C．obtain

D．make understand

听力原文： After years of study I have determined that there are only two types of people in this world: those who get to the airport early and those who walk in just as the plane is about to take off. (26) If there were any justice in the world the early airport people would be rewarded for doing the right thing and the late airport people would be punished. But there is no justice. I know I have been an early airport person for years. My luggage will get on the plane first but it will be the last luggage to come off the plane when we land. (27) You know who really gets his luggage first when we land？ The late airport person who rushes into the airport three minutes before the plane takes off. "But if I get there real early," I told myself, "I will get the best seat." We'll, no matter how early I showed up, I was always told that someone had called two or three days ahead of me and asked for that seat. The utmost embarrassment of the early airport person happened to me a few years ago when I was flying from New York to Chicago. When I got to the ticket counter, the person there said "Sir, you have a seat on the 9:15 A.M. flight, is that right？" "Yes," I said. "Well, it's only 7:00 A.M. and the 7:05 A.M. flight has not left yet. (28) If you hurry you can make it." I was too embarrassed to say that I arrived early so I wouldn't have to hurry. Instead I ran down the corridor to the plane.

26. What does the speaker say about the early airport person？

27.What usually happens to the late airport person？

28.Why did the speaker feel embarrassed in the airport？
