[主观题]

Just over a year ago, I foolishly locked up my bicycle outside my office, but forgot to re

move the pannier(挂篮). When I returned the pannier had been stolen. Inside it were about ten of the little red notebooks I take everywhere for jotting down ideas for articles, short stories, TV shows and the like.

When I lost my notebooks, I was devastated; all the ideas I'd had over the past two years were contained within their pages. I could remember only a few of them, but had the impression that those I couldn't recall were truly brilliant. Those little books were crammed with the plots of award-winning novels and scripts for radio comedy shows that were only two-thirds as bad as the ones on at the moment.

That's not all, though. In my reminiscence, my lost notebooks contained sketches for many innovative and incredible machines. In one book there was a design for a device that could turn sea water into apple cider; in another, plan for an automatic dog; in a third, sketches for a pair of waterproof shoes with television screens built into the toes. Now all of these plans are lost to humanity.

I found my notebooks again. It turns out they weren't in the bike pannier at all, but in a carrier bag in my spare room, where I found six months after supposedly losing them. And when I flipped through their pages, ready to run to the patent office in the morning, I discovered they were completely full of rubbish.

Discovering the notebooks really shook me up. I had firmly come to believe they were brimming with brilliant, inventive stuff--and yet clearly they weren't. I had deluded myself.

After surveying my nonsense, I found that this halo effect always attaches itself to things that seem irretrievably lost. Don't we all have a sneaking feeling that the weather was sunnier, TV shows funnier and cake-shop buns bunnier in the not-very-distant past？

All this would not matter much except that it is a powerful element in reactionary thought, this belief in a better yesterday. After all, racism often stems from a delusion that things have deteriorated since "they" came. What a boon to society it would be if people could visit the past and see that it wasn't the paradise they imagine but simply the present with different hats.

Sadly, time travel is impossible.

Until now, that is. Because I've suddenly remembered I left a leather jacket in an Indonesian restaurant a couples of years ago, and I'm absolutely certain that in the inside pocket there was a sketch I'd made...

By "only two-thirds as bad as the ones on at the moment", the author means"______".

A．better than

B．as bad as

C．worse than

D．as good as

听力原文： Less than an hour ago, Google and NASA announced that they will explore a range of tie-ups from researching data and utilizing Google Earth. As part of that effort, the space agency will make more of its information available online for all to see. Down the road that will include real-time weather visuals and forecasting, 3D maps of the moon and Mars, and real-time tracking of the International Space Station and the space shuttle. NASA administrator Michael Griffin says the partnership will allow everyone to "experience a virtual flight over the surface of the moon or through the canyons of Mars". And he says the hope is to make NASA's space exploration work accessible to everyone. This is just the latest in the string of high-profile Google partnerships this year, the most significant being, of course, Google's 1.8-billion-dollar deal to buy YouTube, and there have been deals with News Corp's MySpace and Ebay, Sony, Warner Music Group, Intuit and XM Satellite Radio and that's just to name a few. Google followers call today's deal another important part of its grand strategy.

NASA will make all of the following accessible online EXCEPT ______.

A．real-time weather forecasting

B．real-time tracking of the space shuttle

C．3D maps of the Mars

D．3D maps of the Earth

Just a few weeks ago, economists and market analysts were expecting the Federal Reserve to
cut short term interest rates one final time when policy-makers gather for their first meeting of the year Tuesday and Wednesday. Now the vast majority of analysts believe the central bank's aggressive year long rate-cutting campaign is over, and the focus already is turning to when the Fed will begin raising rates again.

Based on weekly unemployment data, the rate of job reductions is slowing, and almost every economic indicator reported over the past several weeks has been encouraging. Fed Chairman Alan Greenspan had reason to be optimistic on Jan. 24, when he testified before a Senate panel and seemed far more upbeat about the economy than he had been just two weeks earlier in a speech that sparked a Wall Street sell-off.

Analysts now believe it is almost a sure bet the Fed will leave rates unchanged when the central bank announces the policy decision Wednesday at about 2:15 p.m. After an unprecedented 11 rate cuts in 2001, that would mark the first time in more than a year that the Fed's policy-setting Open Market Committee has held a formal meeting without changing rates.

On Monday, in the latest report to surpass expectations, the Commerce Department reported that new home sales rose to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 946,000 units in December, a 5.7 percent increase over November. Last year was a record year for sales of both new and previously owned homes, as low mortgage rates offset the impact of the recession. Last week the Index of Leading Indicators posted its biggest one-month increase in more than five years, as eight of the 10 indicators that make up the index turned positive.

The weekly unemployment data show that ______.

A．more unemployed are being employed now

B．less workers are being dismissed now

C．workers are being better paid now

D．workers are more confident about their income now

Part BDirections: You will hear four dialogues or monologues. Before listening to each one

Part B

Directions: You will hear four dialogues or monologues. Before listening to each one, you will have 5 seconds to read each of the questions which accompany it. While listening, answer each question by choosing A, B, C or D. After listening, you will have 10 seconds to check your answer to each question. You will hear each piece ONLY ONCE.

听力原文： Language is something that changes; the only languages that do not change are dead ones, such as Latin. The changes that take place in English are gradual. Most of them are barely noticeable from one year to the next, but they are taking place just the same. Words change their meanings over the year; new words are invented or taken over from other languages; old words sometimes die out. The sounds of speech gradually alter. You may. notice that your grandparents pronounce some words differently from you, and if you watch old black-and-white British films on television you will probably notice differences in the language. Over a very long period -- hundreds of years -- these small changes add up to very big ones.

If we look back to the earliest written English, long ago before the days of King Alfred the Great, we find what seems at first sight a foreign language, so much has English changed in the

course of twelve centuries.

How does language change？

A．All languages change over a long period of time.

B．Language change occurs slowly and gradually.

C．The English on TV is different from the English in daily use.

D．Big changes occur in English every few years.

听力原文： La Fenice, Venice's historic opera house which was destroyed by fire eight years
ago, has reopened with a gala performance of Giuseppe Verdi's opera "La Travolta". The first performance of "Travolta" took place in the same theatre one hundred and fifty one years ago.

It's taken eight years to rebuild Venice's opera house, the interior of which was completely destroyed while La Fenice was closed for repairs in a blaze which raged all night at end of January 1996. A court later sentenced two electricians to prison on charges of arson. A glittering gathering of celebrities and politicians at- tended the first opera performance in the reconstructed theatre.

The opera house was handed over by the builders nearly a year ago, but it's taken many months to install new stage machinery and to ac0ust the acoustics. Every detail of the original eighteenth-century building has been faithfully reproduced and state-of-the-art sprinkler fire protection and an underground freshwater reservoir

have been installed to stave off any future disaster.

A seat in the stalls or in one of the elaborate boxes surrounding the horseshoe-shaped auditorium now costs nearly & 700. But relatively few members of the first night VIP audience had paid for their tickets. Hundreds of tourists are now visiting the theatre each day, paying just over ten pounds to see the empty opera house.

Which of the following did NOT happen to the opera house？

A．It caught on*fire in January 1996.

B．Two. electricians Were sent to prison because of the accident.

C．The theatre was reconstructed.

D．The theater hasn't been put into use yet.

听力原文： People joke that no one in Los Angeles reads; everyone watches TV, rents videos,
or goes to the movies. (32 ) The most popular reading material is comic books, movie magazines, and TV guides. City libraries have only 10 percent: of the traffic that car washes have. But how do you ex-plain this？ An annual book festival in west Los Angeles is" sold out year after year. People wait half an hour for a parking space to become available.

(33) This outdoor festival, sponsored by a newspaper, occurs every April for one weekend. This year's attendance was estimated at 70,000 on Saturday and 75,000 on Sunday. (34)The festival featured 280 exhibitors. There were about 90 talks given by authors, with an audience question-and-answer period following each talk. Autograph seekers sought out more than 150 authors. A food court sold all kinds of popular and ethnic foods, from American hamburgers to Hawaiian shave ice drinks. Except for a $ 7 parking fee, the festival was free. Even so, some people avoided the food court prices by sneaking in their own sandwiches and drinks.

People came from all over California. One couple drove down from San Francisco. This is their sixth year here now. They just love it. The husband said that it is just fantastic to be in the great outdoors, to be among so many books and authors, and to get some very good deals, too.

The idea for the festival occurred years ago, but nobody knew if it would succeed. Although book festivals were already popular in other US cities, would Los Angeles residents embrace one？ (35)One of the festival founders said that it all depends as angelinos are very unpredictable.

(33)

A．Movie magazines, comic books and TV guides.

B．Dally newspapers, movie magazines and TV guides.

C．Fiction novels, comic books and movie magazines.

听力原文：This is the Church of the Nativity, the site that Christians venerate as the birt

听力原文： This is the Church of the Nativity, the site that Christians venerate as the birthplace of Jesus Christ. It's located in Bethlehem, one of the largest cities in the Palestinian territories.

A decade ago, Manger Square which is just across the street from the Church of the Nativity would have been filled with thousands of tourists at this time of the year. However, last year, less than 3,000 tourists visited at Christmas time, down from an average of 90,000 at this time of the year less than a decade ago.

This year does not look much better. Pilgrims still come to Bethlehem, but there are fewer in number. Fears over possible violence and an Israeli security barrier have kept them away. At the same time, many residents of this historical city are leaving, especially members of Bethlehem's once majority Christian population. More than 3,000 Christians, about 10% of Bethlehem's population have left the city since the Palestine intifada began 6 years ago. Now, even though the intifada is dormant, Christians continue to flee the city, crippling its once vibrant economy. The city hall of officials is struggling to cope with the effects of fleeing population and economic crisis in the Palestinian territories. But this year, the Islamic militant group Hamas refused to recognize Israel.

Which of the following statements about the Church of the Nativity is NOT true？

A．It's located in Bethlehem.

B．It's on the birthplace of Jesus Christ.

C．It's on Manger Square.

D．Less people visited it at Christmas time than a decade ago.

听力原文： The cost is going up for just about everything, and college tuition is no exception. According to a nationwide survey published by the College Board's Scholarship Service, tuition at most American universities will be on average of 9 percent higher this year over last.

The biggest increase will occur at private colleges. Public colleges, heavily subsidized by tax funds, will also increase their tuition, but the increase will be a few percentages points lower than their privately-sponsored neighbors.

As a follow up, the United Press International did their own study at Massachusetts Institute of Technology. At M.I.T., advisors recommended that students have $8,900 available for one year's expenses, including $5,300 for tuition, $2,685 for room and board, $630 for personal expenses, and $285 for books and supplies. Ten years ago the tuition was only $2,150. To put that another way, the cost has climbed 150 percent in the last decade.

An additional burden is placed on out-of-state students who must pay extra charges ranging from $200 to $2, 000, and foreign students who are not eligible for scholarships at state-funded universities.

On the brighter side, the survey revealed that college graduates are entering the best job market since the middle 1960s. Job offers are up 16 percent from last year, and salaries are good, at least for graduates in technical fields. For example, a recent graduate in petroleum engineering can expect to make as much as $20,000 per year. A student with a liberal arts degree might expect to make about half that salary.

(30)

A．Average tuition costs increased by 9 percent.

B．Average tuition costs increased by 15 percent.

C．Average tuition costs increased by 90 percent.

D．Average tuition costs increased by 150 percent.
