SECTION B PASSAGES
Directions: In this section, you will hear several passages. Listen to the passages carefully and then answer the questions that follow.
听力原文: Superb schools symbolize the modern transformation of Finland, a poor and agrarian nation half a century ago, and today one of the world's most prosperous, modern and adaptable countries. Finland finishes first in the Program for International Student Assessment (PISA) exams that test 15-year-olds in all of the world's industrial democracies. Finland also finishes at or near the top in many global comparisons of economic competitiveness: Internet usage, environmental practices and more. Finland, where the modern cell phone was largely invented, has more cell phones per capita than any other nation--nearly 85 per 100 citizens. The high quality of Finnish education depends on the high quality of Finnish teachers. You need to have a college-level degree to run a kindergarten. You need a master's-level degree to teach at a primary school. Many of the best students want to be teachers. Interestingly, given the overall success of Finnish education and Finns' pride in it, state spending on schools is actually declining. The number of old people is growing, which is causing a drain on the Finnish welfare state. So there is not enough money for schools. But it is difficult to imagine that Finns would allow their schools to fall very far now that they have achieved such excellence.
What is the passage mainly concerned with?
A.The transformation of Finland's economy.
B.The successful Finnish school education.
C.The facilities in Finnish schools.
D.The quality of teachers in Finnish schools.

Much of opposition to The Origin of Species arose from Darwin's claim that all living creatures, including man, are somehow related. Many people were outraged by the suggestion that man shared a common ancestor with animals such as apes and monkeys. They attacked Darwin for saying that man had descended from the apes.
But Darwin never actually said this. He believed that modern men and modern apes have both descended from the same ancestor. But at some time in pre-history, millions of years ago, men and apes began to develop separately, and ever since have continued to take on different characteristics. Today, more than 90 years after Darwin's death, this is the opinion which scientists continue to hold.
In his works, Darwin described the progression of life from its earliest forms. First came the invertebrate-creatures without a backbone. Then invertebrates evolved into fish; fish into amphibians; amphibians into reptiles; and reptiles into birds and mammals.
Fossil remains found after his death show that Darwin was right. Perhaps the most amazing fact about his theory is that he managed to work it out with the aid of only a few fossil discoveries.
Fossil remains were not the only information which we now possess but which Darwin lacked. He did not know that apes have the same diseases as men; nor that they and men have the same kind of blood. Nor did he know about the modern uses of radiation which enable scientists to tell the age of fossil remains and so estimate the speed at which evolution has taken place.
Which of the following best describes the passage as a whole?
A.The Origin of Species is a very significant book.
B.Darwin's discoveries were proved to be right though the Origin of Species was severely attacked.
C.The evolution of men has gone through a very long process.
D.It was impossible for Darwin to prove his ideas only with the aid of fossils.
Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
A.The environment of London is better than Toronto.
B.In the first paragraph the underlined part means a modern and advance capital.
C.Beijing is badly polluted mainly by coal burning.
D.Liquefied gas is more expensive than petrol.
