听力原文： A lot of people are familiar with the story of Brave Gelert, a dog that faithfully defended the prince's son, but which was then killed while it was fast asleep through a terrible misunderstanding. However, only a few people know that the story is really a pack of lies. Let me explain.
About a hundred or so years ago there was a hotel owner in Wales who was fed up with business being so bad. His hotel was stuck in the middle of nowhere and hardly anyone came to stay. Then, one day, he had an idea. A famous prince called Llewellyn had lived in the area during the Middle Ages and had been keen on dogs. This is hardly surprising as hunting was extremely popular at that time. So what he did was to make up the story of the brave and faithful Gelert and how he had been killed by his ungrateful master.
Of course, people would be far more likely to believe the story if there was something they could see. So one day, the hotel keeper went to the top of a high hill and built a sort of monument from the stones he found lying around, a friend of his, who was an accountant, helped him to construct it. The "tale" soon caught on and developed a life of its own. Afterwards, people came from far and wide to see the spot where the dog was buried. Needless to say, business became very good for the hotel owner.
Questions 26 to 29 are based on the passage you have just heard.
26. According to the tale, who killed the dog？
27. How did the owner of the hotel successfully improve his business？
28. To what purpose did the hotel owner build the stone monument？

A．A hotel owner.
B．A famous accountant.
C．Its master.
D．The prince's son.

Of the remaining works of Machiavelli the most important is the History of Florence written between 1521 and 1525, and dedicated to Clement VII.This book is merely a rapid review of the MiddleAges, and as part of it the history of Florence. Machiavelli's method has been criticized for adhering at times too closely to the chroniclers of his time, and at others rejecting their testimony without apparent reason, while in its details the authority of his History is often questionable. It is the straightforward, logical narrative, which always holds the interest of the reader, that is the greatest charm of the History.
It can be inferred from the beginning of the text that
A．many people used to think highly of Machiavelli.
B．Machiavelli had been very influential among the rulers.
C．Machiavelli was widely read among his contemporaries.
D．Machiavelli has been a target of criticism throughout history.
Text 4
No man has been more harshly judged than Machiavelli, especially in the two centuries follow-ing his death. But he has since found many able champions and the tide has turned. The prince has been termed a manual for tyrants, the effect of which has been most harmful. But were Machiavelli's doctrines really new？ Did he discover them？ He merely had the frankness and cour- age to write down what everybody was thinking and what everybody knew. He merely gives us the impressions he had received from a long and intimate intercourse with princes and the affairs of state. It was Lord Bacon who said that Machiavelli tells us what princes do, not what they ought to do. When Machiavelli takes Caesar Borgia as a model, he does not praise him as a hero at all, but merely as a prince who was capable of attaining the end in view. The life of the state was the prima- ry object. It must be maintained. And Machiavelli has laid down the principles, based upon his stud-y and wide experience, by which this may be accomplished. He wrote from the view-point of the politician-not of the moralist. What is good politics may be bad morals, and in fact, by a strange fatality, where morals and politics clash, the latter generally gets the upper hand. And will anyone contend that the principles set forth by Machiavelli in his Prince or his Discourses have entirely per- ished from the earth？ Has diplomacy been entirely stripped of fraud and duplicity？ Let anyone read the famous eighteenth chapter of The Prince:"ln what Manner Princes should Keep their Faith,"and he will be convinced that what was true nearly four hundred years ago, is quite as true today.

Read the following material and write a short essay of about 150 words under the title "Should Men Be Forced by Law to Do Half the Housework？"
The Austrian parliament will shortly be considering a draft law designed to compensate women after a divorce if their former husbands never helped them with the housework.
Last week the German Green Party went even further, demanding a new law to make couples share the chores fifty-fifty if both partners were at work. The German paper Bild said a third of German women did all the housework on their own.
Academics here in Britain talked of reversing what they called the "Allerednic effect" — that's "Cinderella" backwards—in which a prince marries a princess and turns her into a scullery-maid.
So is it time for men to clean up their act？ Or should the lawmakers leave it all well alone？
Joining Laurence Zavriew for the Europewide debate are from Rome the Italian journalist Carlo di Blasio, and in the Netherlands Kerstin Schweighoefer, correspondent of the German newsmagazine focus.
A、St Paul’s Cathedral
B、Buckingham Palace
C、Westminster Abbey
D、A. London Bridge

The author once heard a young man who for thirty minutes ______.
A．interrupted an outstandingly witty speaker
B．in a group of witty people, hindered a prince from making a speech
C．in a group of witty people did not allow a prince to get a word in edgeways

The one thing this different group had in common was that most of them had sought the protection of the PCC over the past decade. Their principal tormentors, the editors of the nation's tabloid newspapers, were there in force to greet their victims, so it was not surprising that a certain tremble swirled around the party.
That so many prominent upper circles turned up to devour the PCC's canapés and rub shoulders with the royals is no doubt, a triumph for its chairman. Lord Wakeham. He can fairly claim to have restored confidence in self-regulation and saved the press from privacy legislation. A skilled political fixer, he has used his chairmanship m pressure the press barons such as Rupert Murdoch into enclosing their editors.
The PCC's code of conduct, drawn up by a panel of editors, is generally observed. Press standards have improved and complaints have fallen by nearly a third over the past five years. The industry, which not so long ago was said to be "drinking in the last-chance saloon", with self-regulation in terminal disrepute, is grateful.
The party was meant m celebrate this success. The soap stars and the models, judging by the amount of drink going down their throats, certainly enjoyed themselves, as did the editors. But whether Prince Charles and Prince William were wise to associate themselves with this lot is doubtful. "Never sup with the enemy" is a good motto. At least the royals could tell who to avoid because all the guests had name tabs.
Lord Wakeham, who helped get rid of Lady Thatcher without her even knowing, is a skilled operator. But this luxury party has given an opening to those critics who claim he is too close to the industry and too protective of the powerful. "We're here to protect the vulnerable" was the slogan of a big banner that greeted the guests. That was not the main impression the evening made on the minds of those who staggered out of the grandeur of Somerset House, high on champagne and celebrity. The truly vulnerable were nowhere to be seen.
The party was so elegant, because______.
A．Price William was there
B．PCC succeeded in bringing together so many personalities
C．PCC was celebrating
D．it was too close to parody
What was Prince Henry's principal achievement？
A．Making oceanic exploration possible.
B．Improving the compass.
C．Founding a school for mariners.
D．Inventing the clipper ship.
