听力原文： Amsterdam, the Netherland's capital, is one of the world's best tourist destinations, where you can immerse yourself in history, in art, in the head of a beer.
Any time can be the best time to visit. The summer months are wonderful as the whole city seems to live outdoors, but it's also the peak tourist season, when hotels are full and expensive. From mid-October to mid-March the climate is miserable, but there are fewer tourists, things are cheaper and cultural life is at its most authentic. The shoulder seasons can offer the best of both worlds.
Many of the world's airlines fly directly to Amsterdam, and it is extremely convenient to fly to Amsterdam from China. But it might be cheaper for you to fly to a nearby city such as London and get to Amsterdam by bus or train. Many airlines will offer you a free side trip within Europe, so ask around and see what offers are available.
Amsterdam is well connected to the rest of Europe, including Britain, by long-distance bus. Buses are consistently cheaper than trains, but on some services you'll get a lungful of cigarette smoke. Freeways link Amsterdam to The Hague, Rotterdam. The Netherlands are very amenable to cycling —this is one of the flattest places in the world, and there are dedicated bike paths throughout the country. Amsterdam has 550,000 bicycles and this is an ideal way to get around, although you need to get used to the idea of having your bike stolen. If you're going to be around for more than a month, consider buying a second-hand bike, and make sure you buy a lock as well.

A．The whole city becomes noisy.
B．It's hard to find a cheap or vacant hotel room.

D．The crime rate increases.

Welcome to Amsterdam
Amsterdam is a city of many faces. It is the capital of the Netherlands, even though it is not the seat of Parliament or the government. Amsterdam is more than just a capital however. It is the essence of the Netherlands: not just because it is the largest city in the country, but more particularly because it is the mainspring of our country's economic, social and cultural life.
Already more than seven hundred years old, our compact city has more of which it can be proud: world-class orchestras and dance groups, more than fourty renowned museums, almost a thousand restaurants serving cuisine from countries around the globe, gabled mansions and magnificent churches from the 17th century Golden Age.
But, as Amsterdammers, we are most proud of our tradition of hospitality. We really want every one to feel at home. You will find this friendliness and helpfulness everywhere: at the VVVTourist Office, in our hotels and restaurants, at our colourful sheet markets and distinctive Haute Couture shops, in our brown cafes and nightclubs.
Whether you are a business executive or a tourist, you will find people here eager to talk with you usually in your own language. Multilingualism is another feature in which the Dutch take pride.
Government officials are working in Rotterdam.
A．Right
B．Wrong
C．Doesn't Say
听力原文： For most of its life, New Amsterdam had fewer than 1,000 residents, but its influence would far outstrip its size. This was the first and most important multicultural base in colonial America. While Boston and, later, Philadelphia, developed along distinctly English lines, New Amsterdam was pluralistic from the beginning. In 1643, when barely 500 people called it home, director Willem Kieft told a visiting Jesuit priest that 18 languages were spoken. In fact, according to some estimates this "Dutch" city was never more than 50 percent Dutch in its population. The other major groups included Germans, English, Africans, Scandinavians, French, and Jewish. From this tiny mix of peoples would come the structure of New York City. The so-called Castello Plan--a map drawn up in 1660--gives us an excellent picture of what New Amsterdam was like at its height, just four years before the English took over and renamed it New York. The truth, as exhibited in the museum of the city of New York, is that the Dutch happened to transport an entire civilization from one continent to another when they created New Amsterdam. And they also transported the two main features that created America: Plural- ism and the very free spirit. People outside this city sometimes say that America is not New York. They're right. It's New Amsterdam.
What does New Amsterdam refer to？
A．A city in the Netherlands.
B．A state in America.
C．The old name of New York City.
D．The Dutch remains in America.
听力原文： Rembrandt, one of the greatest artists of all time, was born in Leyden in the Netherlands. Many artists traveled to faraway lands. Rembrandt always stayed within 50 miles of his home, although he lived to be 63.
Much of his life was spent in Amsterdam, then the richest town in Europe. In some of Rembrandt's paintings we see the rich clothes and jewels worn by people of that time in Amsterdam.
During the first ten years of his career he was a famous and fashionable painter. Then something happened, which ruined him. He became so poor that he had to sell all his furniture and even his rich velvet clothes. To make matters worse, his wealthy wife died, and her parents took the money she had left to him.
The following incident ruined the sale of his paintings: the Amsterdam Civic Guard had paid him to paint a picture of them. Since he liked light and shadow, he painted the men as they were leaving the armory at noon to go on duty. The men still inside were in such deep shadow that their faces could not be recognized. These men were very angry. The men in the sunlight of course showed well. But their satisfaction did not make up for the anger of others. The picture is one of Rembrandt's best. It is called "The Night Watch", although it was painted at noon.
What sort of painter was Rembrandt at the beginning of his career？
A．A poor, starving artist.
B．A modern, radical artist.
C．A famous, fashionable artist.
D．A royal painter.
