听力原文: In 1863, President Lincoln made a law. This law said that only the United States government could print money. The law gave us the kind of money we have today. At that time, people could take their money to banks. At the banks they could get a certain amount of silver in exchange for the money. In 1873, the banks began to give gold for paper money. The idea worked if too many people didn't go to the banks at the same time. Banks didn't always have enough gold. The government stopped this about 60 years ago. We can no longer go to banks to get gold for our money. The government will not exchange anything for paper money.
The value of money we use today is not the same as animals or food. It is not the same as an amount of silver, gold, or copper. The way people used money a long time ago may have been easier than it is to day. They know what it meant. Today the money in our pocket means different things at different times.

听力原文:W: Does the Motor Voter Law cover all the states?
M: No.
W: Which ones? Why not?
M: Six states are not covered by the provisions of the National Voter Registration Act. They are: North Dakota (because this state does not have voter registration); and Minnesota, Wisconsin, Idaho, New Hampshire and Wyoming (because they have election-day registration). The Washington, D.C. coalition which was working to pass this legislation had to compromise in order to get sufficient U.S. Senate votes to pass the bill.
W: Will the Motor Voter Law help disadvantaged groups? If yes, how?
M: Of course. This law helps to reach disadvantaged people in several ways: It requires that all covered states offer voter registration whenever anyone applies for services at state-funded agencies primarily involved in serving people with disabilities. It also requires that all covered states offer voter registration by mail, which means that you don't have to travel long distances at inconvenient times to find someone who has been certified to be able to register you to vote.
W: What do you think is the greatest challenge faced by our democracy today in terms of voting?
M: One of the biggest challenges is putting a limit on the amount of money which goes into campaigns. Campaign finance reform. Too much money is allowing the candidates to run their campaigns with 30 second TV spots. They never have to meet people and really address what's on their minds. People then get frustrated, because the issues are narrow and the candidates don't speak to their interests.
W: What else?
M: Another major issue is third-party access. Other parties in addition to the Democrats and the Republicans need to be able to get candidates onto ballots more easily. Third parties will increase competition, increase quality, and increase substance of debates.

A.North Dakota and Washington D.C

D.Wyoming and Washington.
听力原文: Today we are going to talk about copyrighting works of art. A copyright is a proof of authorship. It protects artists against someone else using their work without their permission. It's important to remember that United States Copyright Law protects artistic expressions such as paintings, but does not protect any ideas, concept, procedure' or technique. Under the United States Copyright Law, artists need to take several steps to obtain copyright protection. The law was changed in 1978 and again in 1989. For artists the current law means everything they create is automatically and immediately copyrighted. They don't have to file any documents and under the protection of the Copyright Law, any recreations of their original work such as prints are also covered by the artists' copyright. Furthermore, any changes artists made to their original works are covered. The law also makes it clear that when someone buys the work of art, they are not allowed to destroy or change that work of art. Artists keep the copyright even after selling the work of art. The purchaser may buy the physical work, but the right to make prints or copies is still the artists' and buyers does not automatically have any right to make and sell prints or copies of the work. Although works are automatically copyrighted, artists are encouraged to register their work with the United States Copyright Office. Registering art provides additional legal protection and also gives people around the world the ability to approach the owner about licensing and purchasing rights.

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.
On a November day in 1999, Frederick Miller, terminally ill with lung and brain cancer, ate a bowl of apple sauce laced with barbiturates (巴比委酸盐). Ninety minutes later, with his wife Nora by his side, the 52-year-old died peacefully.
That scene occurred in Portland, Oregon, where since 1997 it has been legal for a doctor to prescribe a fatal cocktail of drugs to patients who are terminally ill. But that law, the Death with Dignity Act, has been hotly debated for most of its existence. In 2001 John Ashcroft, then attorney-general of the United States, claimed that prescribing drugs to end life was not a "legitimate medical purpose". This started legal skirmishing (小冲突) that landed the Oregon law before the Supreme Court. But for the moment the option to take one's own life, with a doctor's help, stays open. On January 17th the Supreme Court ruled 6-3 that Oregon could keep its assisted-suicide law.
The decision depended largely on whether states or the federal government should control how doctors do their work. The majority of justices decided that states should. But for most people, including the dissenting (持不同意见的)judges, the legal technicalities were secondary to the bigger question of whether doctors ought to help people end their lives.
Opponents of Oregon's law insist that it is simply legalized murder. Others see the law as appropriate, even enlightened, giving dying patients a much-needed choice when heroic medical procedures cannot help. "It's not as if physician-assisted suicide isn't happening elsewhere in the country," says Timothy Quill, a doctor and professor at the University of Rochester in New York. "But in Oregon it's out in the open, so you don't have patients asking questions in secret, and doctors giving advice in secret."
Another supporter, Arthur Caplan, the director of the Center for Bioethics (生物伦理学) at the University of Pennsylvania, says there is no evidence that Oregon's law has been used to "kill" anyone: "Critics have been desperate to find someone who took fatal drugs and was imhalanced or not terminally ill but they haven't been able to." He points to the prudence exhibited by Oregonians, with only 238 people using prescribed drugs to end their lives.
For those who use Oregon's law and their survivors--such as Frederick Miller's widow, Nora the Death with Dignity Act simply makes sense. Her sister recently died of cancer in Florida, an experience more painful and emotionally wearing than Frederick's planned death. "When Rick died he was calm and comfortable," says Ms Miller, who now lives in Phoenix. "When he took the drugs his body was ready, and he fell deeply asleep almost immediately. I just hope I have that option, if I need it, when the time comes."
From the first paragraph we may infer that Frederick Miller ______.
A.ill with lung and brain cancer
B.ate a bowl of apple sauce laced with barbiturates
C.killed himself with his wife Nora's help
D.chose to take his own life peacefully
