听力原文: Chaos segued into fatigue and frustration at Heathrow Airport on Saturday as tho

usands of exhausted, exasperated British Airways passengers left stranded by an unofficial strike desperately searched for news--any news--about when they might get out of Britain. British Airways, facing a public relations disaster as well as losses that could reach tens of millions of dollars, said about 80 percent of flights were running as planned. The strike began when the catering firm abruptly fired about 670 of its Heathrow-based workers on Wednesday, causing the rest of the catering staff to walk out in a show of support. On Thursday, about 1,000 other airport workers--including baggage handlers, bus drivers, ramp workers and check-in staff, walked out, too, for an unofficial strike.

What happened to the passengers at Heathrow Airport on Sunday?

A.They were arrested by police.

B.They could not take their flights as planned.

C.They were delayed because of desperate weather.

D.They were forced to go home.

听力原文: In a scientific context, the word "chaos" bas a slightly different meaning than it docs in its general usage as a state of confusion, lacking any order. Chaos, with reference to chaos theory, refers to an apparent lack of order in a system that nevertheless obeys particular laws or rules. The two main components of chaos theory are the ideas that systems—no matter how complex they may be—rely upon an underlying order, and that very simple or small systems and events can cause very complex behaviors or events.

The Earth's atmosphere is a chaotic system with regularly occurring weather phenomena like wind, cloud, rain, snow, fog and dust storms and less common events(natural disasters) like tornadoes, hurricanes and ice storms, so small changes to one part can have large effects elsewhere. This makes it very difficult to accurately predict weather changes more than a few days in advance, though weather forecasters are continually working to extend this limit through the scientific study of weather, Meteorology.

Chaos theory says that the slightest variation in the motion of the air will grow with time. This idea is sometimes called the butterfly effect, from the idea that the motions caused by the flapping wings of a butterfly eventually could produce marked changes in the state of the atmosphere. Because of this sensitivity to small changes it will never be possible to forecast perfectly, although there still is potential for vast improvement.

听力原文: BAGHDAD, Iraq Sept. 23, 2004--A British hostage appeared on a video posted on an
Islamic Web site Wednesday weeping and pleading for his life as Iraq's leader and U. S. officials crushed reports that a high-pro- file female Iraqi weapons scientist could be released from jail soon as demanded by the kidnappers.

The captive, Kenneth Bigley, appealed to British Prime Minister Tony Blair to intervene. "I think this is possibly my last chance, ' he said. "I don't want to die."

Bigley was being held by a militant group led by Jordanian-born terror mastermind Abu Musabal-Zarqawi. The group has already beheaded Americans Eugene Armstrong and Jack Hensley, whom it abducted along with Bigley from the Westerners' Baghdad home last week.

On Wednesday, the group also posted a video of Hensley's killing on the Internet, as it had two days earlier of Armstrong's beheading. Hensley's decapitated body was found Wednesday in Baghdad.

More than 130 foreigners have been kidnapped in Iraq, and at least 26 of them have been killed. Many more Iraqis have also been seized in the chaos since Saddam was ousted last year, in many cases for ransom.

In the video, the British hostage _______.

A.assured his family members that he was safe

B.asked the British government to save his life

C.criticize the British government for not taking action

D.denounced those who captured him very bravely

听力原文: President Bush is sending over 20,000 more U.S. troops into Iraq. In an address from the White House last night, Mr. Bush said he considered suggestions from U. S. lawmakers to scale back U. S. efforts in Iraq. But he warned that stepping back now would force a collapse of the Iraqi government.

The consequences of failure are clear. Radical Islamic extremists would grow in strength and gain new recruits. They would be in a better position to topple moderate governments, create chaos in the region, and use oil revenues to fund their ambitions. Iran would be emboldened in its pursuit of nuclear weapons. Our enemies would have a safe haven from which to plan and launch attacks on the American people.

But Democratic Senator Richard Durbin says the president's new plan runs contrary to what his own generals have advised him to do.

General John Abizaid until recently, the commanding general in Iraq and Afghanistan, said, "More American forces prevent the Iraqis from doing more, from taking more responsibility for their own future."

And Republican Senator Sam Brownback on a visit to Iraq said he does not believe Sending more troops to Iraq is the answer.

A collapse of Iraq government may lead to all of the following EXCEPT ______.

A.chaos in the region

B.stronger radical Islamic extremists

C.Iran's gaining new recruits

D.Iran's pursuing nuclear weapons openly
