聽力原文：A: Hello. How may I help you？

S: Hello. My name is Martina Bila. I made an appointment to see you at 10 o'clock. I'm a little early. Is that OK？

A: No problem. We're not very busy at the moment. You said on the phone that you weren't happy with your accommodation and were thinking of changing.

S: That's right.

A: May I ask what the problem is exactly？

S: To be honest, there's more than one problem. The main problem is that the accommodation is further than I imagined from the university.

A: I see. And the other problem or problems？

S: The other problem is that the landlady is quite a heavy smoker. I'm a non-smoker, and I'm afraid that I find it quite unpleasant.

A: I'm sorry about that. Weren't you given the option of accommodation With smokers or non-smokers？

S: I'm afraid that's really my fault. I don't mind light smokers, but I didn't get my accommodation organised very much in advance, so most of the accommodation had gone by the time I applied. However, a friend told me that there is sometimes accommodation ... er ... you know ... er ... accommodation becomes available mid-term because some people leave the university or change their place ... er ... the place where they live, so I thought maybe ...

A: I see. Yes, it is important to arrange accommodation well in advance, though it isn't always possible. However, your friend was correct. We do get some accommodation available mid-term. Just give me a minute to find your details on the computer....

S: Yes, of course.

A: Now, your current address is 43 Parkway Drive, isn't it？

S: Yes.

A: Yes, that's a fair way away. The bus connection isn't too good either, is it？ I think that it would be better to focus on that as the reason for moving, rather than the smoking issue. However, I will change the information in the computer to say that this accommodation is only suitable for smokers or people who don't mind heavy smokers. That way we can avoid similar problems in the lucre.

S: That sounds like a good idea.

A: Now, the good news is that there is plenty of accommodation available nearer the university. The bad news is that it is more expensive.

S: That's OK. I expected that. Is there any catered or self-catering university accommodation available？ That would be ideal.

A: I thought you might be interested in that. The day after you phoned, a place became available. It's catered, so it's the most expensive type of accommodation, but it's yours if you want it.

S: There's no self-catering accommodation available？

A: Not at the moment. Something could become available at any time, but, then again, you might have to wait weeks.

S: I understand. Can I just check the cost？

A: It's ￡37.50 per week. You also have to pay ￡23.15 during the Christmas and Easter holidays, regardless of whether you are there or not. That sum doesn't include meals during those periods.

S: But summer holidays are not included？

A: That's right. Students are permitted to stay in university accommodation during holidays but they usually have to move to a different flat.

S: I see. And do I pay monthly？ A: Yes, but don't worry if you're a few days late. It happens quite often and we don't mind too much.

S: Can I see a picture of the accommodation？ A: Sure .... It looks like this. You can see that there is a single bedroom for each student and a common living room and bathroom. There are no cooking facilities, but many students buy a microwave.

S: Can you tell me anything about the people I'd be living with？

A: There are two girls there. One is British and one is Indian. They are studying law and marketing respectively. They're the same age as you, 20. And they're not smokers!

S: That sounds perfect. If I don't give my landlady a month's notice, she gets to keep the deposit, doesn't she？

A: That's normally stated in the rental agreement, yes. I'd like to be able to keep this university accommodation available, but I'm a

聽力原文： I am certain that any of you who have been on campus very long may have already heard about this course. As you may know, last semester almost half the students in my class failed. Before you get scared and conclude that I don' t like my students, let explain how that came about. This class is a composition class. In composition there are certain rules of formality that must be followed in order to clearly communicate. It is unfortunate that these days many students feel that formal rules are not necessary. When I grade a paper and I see that you have misspelled a word, you have lost 10 points. If you have used inadequate punctuation, that can cost you up to 15 points. Addition- ally, any paper that you finish on time will not be accepted. Any theme that is not submitted on time will not be graded. You will have to read all the assignments. I will give quizzes on the reading assignments in order to make sure that you are keeping up on your readings. The class meets on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Your final grade is based on the total sores of the four tests, several quizzes and six theme papers. Any time you have a problem I would seriously recommend that you come to see me in my office. My office is located on the fourth floor of the building directly in front of the building we are in now. The hours are 2:00pm to 4:00pm on the same days as class, For Thursday you will write an essay about your readings from the short story on page 74 of the textbook., ff there are no questions that will be all for today. I will see you on Thursday.

聽力原文：W: Todays Arts Report features Dan Parker of the American Indian Dance Theatre. Mr Parker, I understand your troupe performs traditional music and dance from many different Native American cultures. Can you give us an idea of some of the dances youll be doing in your performance tonight? M: Certainly. Well be doing one thats a war dance. Originally it was a story-telling device to recount battles. Another is the grass dance performed by the Plains Indians, where they actually flatten tall field grass to prepare it for a ceremony. W: Since your dancers are from many different tribes, how can you be sure the dances are done correctly? M: Everything we do has been approved by the elders of our tribes. Thats partly because we dont necessarily know each others styles or dances. But its also because its hard to get complete agreement — even within the same tribe — about exactly how the dance should be done. W: Anyone who attends one of your performances will notice that your company goes to a lot of trouble to provide detailed explanations of the origin of the dances, the music, the costumes, and so forth. Could you explain to our listeners why you do this? M: Good question. There are always concerns that traditional dances performed in a theatre are nothing more than a spectacle. Our explanations show that in our cultures dance is custom rather than entertainment. We also want to make it clear to our audience that we are not performing any dances used for holy ceremonies. Questions 13 to 15 are based on the conversation you have just heard. 13. What is the main topic of the conversation? 14. What is the purpose of the interview? 15. Why are the dances approved by the elders of the tribes?13．

A．To celebrate the opening of a new theatre.

B．To inform. people about a performance.

C．To broadcast an awards ceremony.

D．To announce a meeting of the tribal elders.

聽力原文：Despite the bird-flu, chicken remains the most popular meat today for a number of reasons. First, its reasonable cost puts chicken within everyone's reach. Second, chicken can be prepared in so many different ways. It can, for example, be cooked in spaghetti sauce or with noodles and soups. It can be baked, boiled or fried. Last and most important, chicken has a high nutritional value. Four ounces of chicken contain twenty-eight grams of protein, which is almost half the recommended daily dietary allowance.

聽力原文： How to Avoid Foolish Opinions

To avoid the various foolish opinions to which mankind is prone, no superhuman genius is required. If the matter is one that can be settled by observation, make the observation yourself. Many matters, however, are less easily brought to the test of experience. If you have passionate convictions on many such matters, there are ways in which you can make yourself aware of your own bias.

If an opinion contrary to your own makes you angry, that is a sign that you are subconsciously aware of having no good reason for thinking as you do. So whenever you find yourself getting angry about a difference of opinion, be on your guard; you will probably find that your belief is going beyond what the evidence warrants. A good way of ridding yourself of certain kinds of prejudice is to become aware of opinions held in social circles different from your own.

聽力原文： Listen as a guide describes the ancient art of thatching a roof.

Welcome to the Four Winds Historical Farm, where traditions of the past are preserved for visitors like you. Today, our master thatchers will begin giving this barn behind me a sturdy thatched roof able to withstand heavy winds and last up to a hundred years. How do they do it? Well, in a nutshell, thatching involves covering the beams or rafters--the wooden skeleton of a roof--with reeds or straw. Our thatchers here have harvested their own natural materials for the job--the bundles of water reeds you see lying over there beside the barn.

Thatching is certainly uncommon in the United States today. I guess that's why so many of you have come to see this demonstration. But it wasn't always that way. In the seventeenth century, the colonists here thatched their roofs with reeds and straw, just as they had done in England. After a while, though, they began to replace the thatch with wooden shingles because wood was so plentiful. And eventually, other roofing materials like stone, slate, and clay tiles came into use.

It's a real shame that most people today don't realize how strong and long-lasting a thatched roof is. In Ireland, where thatching is still practiced, the roofs can survive winds of up to one hundred ten miles per hour. That's because straw and reeds are so flexible. They bend but don't break in the wind like other materials can. Another advantage is that the roofs keep the house cool in the summer and warm in the winter. And then, of course, there's the roofs' longevity—the average is sixty years, but they can last up to a hundred. With all these reasons to start thatching roofs again, wouldn't it be wonderful to see this disappearing craft return to popularity?

26. What is about to be demonstrated?

27.What are thatched roofs made of?

28.According to the speaker, why did thatching die out in the United States?

29.According to the speaker, why does thatch survive strong winds?

30.According to the speaker, how might thatching become popular again?

(26)

A．Putting a roof on a barn.

B．Harvesting water reeds.

C．Using stone as a building material.

D．Daily farm operations.
