听力原文： In America, there are more households with pets than those with children. At lea

st 43% of the US homes have pets of some sort. Exotic creatures, such as monkeys, snakes and even wolves, find a home with some Americans. More common pets include tropical fish, mice and birds. But the all-time favorites are cats and dogs, even at the White House.

Beneath the furry luxuries, there lies a basic American belief: pets have a right to be treated well. At least 75 animal welfare organizations exit in America. These provide care and adoption services for homeless and abused animals. Veterinarians can give animals an incredible price. To pay for the high-tech health care, people can buy health insurance for their pets. And when it's time to say good-bye, owners can bury their pets in a respectable pet cemetery.

The average Americans enjoy having pets around, and for good reasons. Researchers have discovered that interacting with animals lowers a person's blood pressure. Dogs can offer protection from burglars and unwelcome visitors. Cats can help stimulate the owners' softness. Little creatures of all shapes and sizes can provide companionship and love. In many cases, having a pet prepares a young couple for the responsibilities of parenthood. Pets even encourage social relationships: They give their owners an appearance of friendliness, and they provide a good topic of conversation.

About ______ American homes have the habit of keeping pets.

A．43%

B．57%

C．75%

D．25%

听力原文： President Bush has apologized for U. S. soldiers who abused prisoners in Iraq. The apology came during a meeting with Jordan's King Abdullah.

President Bush says he told King Abdullah that those responsible for the wrongdoing will be brought to justice, and their actions do not represent American values.

"I told him I was sorry for the humiliation suffered by the Iraqi prisoners and the humiliation suffered by their families. I told him I was equally sorry that people who have been seeing those pictures didn't understand the true nature and heart of America, "Mr. Bush said.

Mr. Bush says he and Americans are sickened by images of the abuse, which he says are a stain on America's reputation.

In interviews Wednesday with Arab-language television stations, Mr. Bush denounced the abuse, but stopped short of apologizing for it.

King Abdullah said Jordanians were also horrified by the images, but he is confident the abuse does not reflect U. S. morals or standards.

During his talk with King Abdullah, President Bush ______.

A．denied that U. S. soldiers were to blame for their abuse of prisoners in Iraq

B．refused to admit that it was an error to launch the war on Iraq

C．made an apology for American soldiers' abuse of prisoners in Iraq

D．required Jordan to give help in fighting against terrorism

听力原文： Americans are big tippers. Generally the custom is more common in a large city than in a small town. Customers are expected to give a tip or small amount of money, whenever services are performed. A tip is expected by the porter who carries your baggage, by taxi drivers and by those who serve you in hotels and restaurants. For example, in hotels it is customary to give a tip to the porter who carries your suitcase and shows you to your room. In this case, 50 cents for each bag is satisfactory; in restaurants you generally leave about 15 percent of the bill on the table as a tip for the person who has served you. Tipping became common in England by the middle of the eighteenth century. Because this practice is not suitable to a country without an established serving class, it did not catch on in America until after the Civil War, when the Southern former slave owners suddenly found themselves having to pay the service and when the rich Northern industrialists adopted this Old World practice as a means to show off their fortune. By the mm of the century the custom had been an American one.

Tipping became popular in America ______.

A．in the Independence War

B．after the Civil War

C．by the turn of the century

D．in the 1960s

听力原文： The first telephone service in North America began on the East Coast in the latel9th century. All of the calls arriving in New York were muted to the office of the early Bell Company. In turn, the Bell Company would switch the calls through a manual switchboard from New York to their destination for the charge of one penny per call. Later in the century, telephone services were established between Chicago and Boston and between Washington and Philadelphia. In 1910 the Bell Company changed from a privately help company to a publicly help corporation. The new company increased the number of telephone switchboards and introduced the use of electronic switches instead of manual operators. It was very expensive fro people in rural areas of the west to set up phone service though. In order to lower the prices of the telephone services, the United States government forced the telephone company to allow local telephone companies to offer competing services. The telephone service that started in American over a hundred years ago has developed into the most sophisticated communications network in the world.

Where was the first telephone service in America established？

A．New York.

B．Washington.

C．Philadelphia.

D．Chicago.

听力原文： The rights we are granted by the Constitution to guarantee the basic freedoms of speech, religion, petition, press, and assembly. By exercising these rights, freedom can be discovered, and can also be costly. The corruption for power is a popular factor in the decay of American rights. For example, if the underdog wishes to attack the wrong doings of leaders, the underdog's accusations may be twisted and undermine the real issue. The power to distort often gives the assistance to higher authority, and often leads to victory. Therefore people often lose rights that they have originally been given. Given the fact that out of all Americans today, two percent are millionaires, and fifty percent of this number happen to be Jewish people; this might reinforce the belief that the persecution lead the Jewish to become a strong entity that would not be defeated. America's leaders seem oblivious to the corruption that they are leading to, by denying the rights of one to support the powerful. "Money is the root of all evil, and a man needs roots."

Who are really supposed to be underdogs, according to the passage you have heard？

A．The losers.

B．The bosses.

C．The officials.

D．The millionaires.

听力原文： (33)There are people in Italy who can't stand soccer. Not all Canadians love hockey. A similar situation exists in America, where there are those individuals you may be one of them who yawn or even frown when somebody mentions baseball." Baseball, to them, means boring hours watching grown men in funny tight outfits, standing around in a field, staring away, while very little of anything happens". (34)They tell you it's a game better suited to the 19(上标)th century, slow, quiet, and gentlemanly. These are the same people you may be one of them who love football because there's the sport that glorifies" the hit".

(32) By contrast, baseball seems abstract, cool, silent, still. On TV the game is broken into a dozen perspectives, replays, close-ups. The geometry of the game, however, is essential to understanding it. You will study the game from one point as a painter does his subject; you may, of course, project yourself into the game. It is in this projection that the game affords so much space and time for involvement. The TV won't do it for you.

The skeptic and innocent must play the game. And this involvement in the stands is no more intellectual than listening to music. Smooth the dirt in front of you with one foot; smooth the pocket in your glove; watch the eyes of the batter, the speed of the bat, the sound of horsehide on wood. If football is a symphony of movement and theatre, (35)baseball is chamber music, a spacious combination of notes, chores and responses.

(33)

A．The different tastes of people for sports.

B．The different characteristics of sports.

C．The attraction of football.

D．The attraction of baseball.

听力原文： In America alone, tipping is now a $16 billion-a-year industry. Why should tips exist？ The conventional wisdom is that tips both reward the efforts of good service and reduces uncomfortable feelings of inequality.

Such explanations no doubt explain the purported origin of tipping--in the 16th century boxes in English taverns carried the phrase "To Insure Promptitude" (later TIP). But according to new research from Cornell University, tipping no longer serves any useful function.

Tipping is better explained by culture than by economics. In America, the custom has become institutionalized: it's regarded as part of the accepted cost of a service. In New York restaurants, failing to tip 15% could mean abuse from the waiter. In Europe, tipping is less common; in many restaurants, tipping is being replaced by a standard service charge. In many Asian countries, tipping has never really caught on.

How to account for these national differences？ Look no further than psychology. People more extrovert, sociable or neurotic tend to tip more. Tipping relieves anxiety about being served by strangers. In America, where people are outgoing and expressive, tipping is about social approval. If you tip badly, people think less of you. Tipping well is a chance to show off. Icelanders by contrast, do not usually tip--a measure of their introversion.

What is the original meaning of the tip？

A．It is to reward the efforts of good service.

B．It is a promise of on-time service.

C．It is used to reduce uncomfortable feelings of inequality.

D．It serves no useful function.

听力原文： The Antarctic is probably the most difficult place on earth for human beings to survive. For six months of the year there is total darkness, and temperatures may fall as low as -88℃. Even in the summer months the temperature is often below zero.

The first successful expedition to the South Pole was led by Ronald Amundsen. His team used dogs and sledges to cross the frozen continent, and reached the pole in December 1911.

In 1928, Richard Byrd decided to lead an expedition to the Antarctic to explore the unknown area from the air for the first time. It was the largest and best equipped expedition that had ever set out for the Antarctic. Byrd and his team established a base which they called Little America on the coast of the Rosa Sea. In November 1929, during the Antarctic spring, Byrd and three colleagues flew from the Little America base to the South Pole and back in 19 hours.

Byrd's major achievement was to introduce the use of aircraft, radio and other devices in polar exploration. He did not agree with Ronald Amundsen that the airplanes would one day replace dogs and sledges; he believed that modem techniques were only an addition to the traditional methods of exploration. All of his expeditions, therefore, carried dogs and sledges, and people to look after them. This proved very efficient, and Byrd was able to achieve results of great scientific value.

What is the lowest temperature in the Antarctic？

A．-78℃.

B．-98℃.

C．-88℃.

D．-68℃.
