Directions: In this section, you will hear 3 short passages. At the end of each passage, you will hear some questions. Both the passage and the questions will be spoken only once. After you hear a question, you must choose the best answer from the four choices marked A, B, C and D.
听力原文： The water clock was an ancient clock. It could be used on cloudy days, at night, and indoors. Such clocks were probably first used in Egypt [26] about 2,000 B.C.. They were also used for many years in Arabia, India, China, and all of Europe.
The simplest water clock needed just two parts—a small bowl and a large bowl. The small bowl had a tiny hole in the bottom; the large bowl was divided into equal parts, and marked by lines. [27] Water was poured into the small bowl, and it fell slowly down into the large bowl in tiny drops. Usually it took an hour for the water to rise from one line to the next in the large bowl.
A beautiful water clock was made in Persia over a thousand years ago. It was presented as a gift to the Emperor of France. This water clock could be heard as well as seen. The dial of the clock was made up of twelve doors, each representing an hour. [28] Every hour a door opened, and the proper number of metal balls dropped onto a thin brass plate to strike the hour. At twelve o'clock, twelve tiny horsemen came out and shut all the doors. This was probably one of the first striking clocks.

The Process of Ageing
At the age of twelve years, the human body is at its most vigorous.It has yet to reach its full size and strength, and its owner his or her full intelligence; but at this age the like-lihood of death is the least.Earlier, we were infants and young children, and consequently more vulnerable; later, we shall undergo a progressive loss of our vigor and resistance which, though imperceptible (察觉不出的)at first, will finally become so steep that we can live no longer, however well we look after ourselves, and however well society, and our doctors; look after us. 46 .If we escape wars, accidents and diseases, we shall even-tually "die of old age", 47 .Some of us will die sooner, a few will live longer.But there
is a virtual limit on how long we can hope to remain alive, however lucky and robust we are.
Normal people tend to forget this process until they are reminded of it.We are so fa-miliar with the fact that man ages, that people have for years assumed that the process of losing vigor with time was something self-evident, like the cooling of a hot kettle or the wearing-out'of a pair of shoes.They have also assumed that all animals, and probably oth-er organisms such as trees, or even the universe itself, must in the nature of things "wear out".Most animals we commonly observe do in fact age as we do; 48 .But these are not analogous to what happens when man ages.A run-down watch is still a watch and can be rewound. 49 .But a watch could never repair itself it does not consist of living parts,only of metal, which wears away by friction (摩擦).We could, at one time, repair our-selves well enough, at least to overcome all but the most instantly fatal illnesses and acci-dents.Between twelve and eighty years we gradually lose this power; 50 .If we could stay as vigorous as we are at twelve, it would take about 700 years for half of us to die, and another 700 of the survivors to be reduced by half again.
A．Some old people are oppressed by the fear of death
B．an illness which at twelve would knock us over, at eighty can knock us out, and in-to our grave
C．and mechanical systems like a wound watch, or the sun, do in fact run out of energy
D．This decline in vigor with the passing of time is called ageing
E．And old watch, by contrast, becomes so worn and unreliable that it eventually is not worth mending
F．and this happens at a rate which differs little from person to person

——Thomas Macaulay
Some thirty years ago, I was studying in a public school in New York. One day, Mrs. Nanette O'Neil gave an arithmetic 【B1】 to our class. When the papers were 【B2】 she discovered that twelve boys had made the same mistakes throughout the test.
There is really nothing new about 【B3】 an exams. Perhaps that was why Mrs. O'Neill 【B4】 even say a word about it. She only asked the twelve boys to 【B5】 after class. I was one of the twelve. Mrs. O'Neill asked 【B6】 questions, and she didn't 【B7】 us either. She wrote on the blackboard the 【B8】 words by Thomas Macaulay. She then ordered us to 【B9】 these words into our exercise-books one hundred times.
I don't 【B10】 about the other eleven boys. Speaking for myself I can say: it was the most important single 【B11】 of my life. Thirty years after being introduced to Macaulay's words, they 【B12】 seem to me the best yard-stick(准绳), because they give us a 【B13】 to measure ourselves rather than others.
【B14】 of us are asked to make 【B15】 decisions about nations going to war or armies going to battle. But all of us are called 【B16】 daily to make a great many personal decisions. 【B17】 the Wallet, found in the street, be put into a pocket or turned over to a policeman？ Should the 【B18】 change received at the store be forgotten or 【B19】 ？ Nobody will know except 【B20】 But you have to live with yourself, and it is always better to live with someone you respect.
【B1】
A．test
B．problem
C．paper
D．lesson
听力原文： Public schools in the United States are under the control of the individual states. Sometimes the state hands its control over to a smaller area, a county or city.
Most Americans start school at the age of five when they enter kindergarten. Children do not really study at this time. They only attend for half the day and learn what school is like.
Children attend elementary school for the next six years. They ]earn to read and write and work with numbers. They also study the world and its people.
After they leave elementary school, children go to junior high school for three years and senior high school for another three years. This is called secondary education. In some places the children go to elementary school for eight years and high school for four. At any rate, elementary and secondary education together take twelve years to complete, excluding kindergarten.
