听力原文： Kuwait is a country which is quite small, but which is very rich. It has a population of a little more than a million, and it is situated at the North end of the Persian Gulf. This small desert country is one of the world's leading off producers, and it has approximately fifteen per cent of the world's known petroleum reserves. Since the discovery of oil in 1938, Kuwait's rulers have turned the country into a prosperous welfare state. It has free primary and secondary education, free health care and social services; and the Kuwaitis do not have to pay any personal income tax for those services. The rate of literacy is high and constantly growing. The University of Kuwait was opened in 1966, but many of the Kuwaiti students still study in colleges and universities abroad, at state expense. Kuwait is, needless to point out, an Arab country, and about 99 per cent of the people who live there are Moslems. But fewer than haft of these Moslems are actually citizens of Kuwait. This is because there are many Moslem immigrants living and working there. Many of these recent immigrants have come from all over the Arab world-from places like Egypt, Syria, Lebanon, from Oman, and from the Sudan. Indians, Pakistan is, and Iranians live and work in Kuwait, too. The other one per cent of the population, in other words, the non-Moslems, are recent immigrants who were attracted by the opportunities to work for the oil companies. There are several thousand Europeans and Americans in Kuwait. Many of them are employed by the oil companies.

What percentage of the world's known petroleum reserves does Kuwait have？

A．13%.

听力原文： Three of the world's smallest countries—Kuwait, the United Arab Emirates （UAE),

听力原文： Three of the world's smallest countries—Kuwait, the United Arab Emirates (UAE), and Qatar—have the highest average incomes per person, according to a recent World Bank publication which measures income, output, and world populations. The small populations of these countries, combined with their tremendous oil wealth, resulted in a per capita income of ＄15,480 in Kuwait, ＄13,990 in UAE, and ＄11,400 in Qatar. By contrast, Bhutan, the tiny kingdom surrounded by India and Tibet, was the world's poorest country with per capita income of only ＄70.

The publication also shows that the richest of the industrial countries, Sweden, had an income of ＄8,670 per person, followed by the United States at ＄7,890, and Germany with ＄7,380. Europe remained the world's richest continent, with only two countries—Albania and Turkey—having per capita incomes of less than＄1,000.

In contrast, most people in Africa and Asia continue to live in poverty, with only a handful of countries in both continents having an income of more than ＄1,000 per person. Japan was the richest non-oil producing nation in Asia, with an annual income of ＄4,910 per head. This contrasts sharply with Bangladesh's ＄110, India's ＄150, and China's ＄410.

The three world's richest industrial countries are ______.

A．Kuwait, UAE, Qatar

B．Kuwait, UAE, Turkey

C．Sweden, USA, Germany

听力原文： Meeting at the Arab League headquarters in Cairo, Egypt, on December 29th, [21]

delegates representing all 22 members began discussing a 13-point reform. program approved at last year's summit in Tunisia. [22] High on their agenda was the need to change the Arab League's voting system from one that requires unanimity to a two-thirds majority. Historically, the unanimity policy has prevented the Arab League from passing resolutions to deal with security issues, mediation efforts, sovereignty and attacks on Arab states, such as Iraq's invasion of Kuwait in 1990. The charter of the Arab League, established by seven states in 1945 to ensure a better future for ail Arab countries, forbids any member country from using force against another member. Following the invasion of Kuwait by Iraq, a founding member of the Arab League, many critics questioned the relevancy of the Arab League. Its former Ambassador to the United Nations, Clovis Maksoud, resigned in protest.

How many members are there in the Arab League？

A．13.

B．23.

C．22.

D．15.
