European women were in great demand in New Zealand in those early

times. That is, women prepared to marry the many single men who

groups herded together in small cramped conditions among the many other【M7】______

people and left to find their own space in the barrels, ropes and sails. 【M8】______

There were no toilet facilities, and scarlet fever, measles, and dysentery【M9】______

attacked many of the families. Death was not uncommon among the young

passengers; and babies in arms were the worst effected. 【M10】______

pre pared to be frightened. Only the fact that she was going to meet her son who she had not seen for three years had given her the courage to make the flight.

She sat in her seat, her hands gripping its arms, her seat belt already fastened. The air hostess was talking, telling everyone what to do in case of emergency, showing them where their .life-jackets were. The plane was crowded, every seat was full. From her window seat, getting out in a hurry would be impossible, thought Ann. In any case who would want to get out of a plane in mid-air？

The engines began to shake--the noise increased till it was like a great rushing wind. She looked out to see the runway slip past at astonishing speed. She wanted to cry out--to stop the plane before it left the ground, but she knew she was trapped in this great roaring machine. I must scream, she told herself, and put her hands over her eyes.

There was a strange feeling as if she were going up in a lift. The noise died down. Carefully she opened her eyes. Through the window she saw a great carpet of cloud above, so beautiful that she stared in wonder, hardly turning away from the window till they touched down.

聽力原文：M: Did you hear on the news today about that...uh...murderer who was executed？

W: I can't believe it.

M: Yeah. That's the first time in ten years that they've used capital punishment.

W: I just can't believe in our society today that they would actually kill another human being. Nobody has the right, to take another person's life.

M: Oh, I don't agree. Listen, I think capital punishment is it's a bout time it came back. I think that's exactly what killers de serve.

W: No, they don't deserve that. Because once you're killing a killer, you're the killer, too. You become a killer as well.

M: No, listen. You take a life, you have to be willing to give up your own. And also, I think that if you have a death penalty it will pre vent other people from killing, I think it's a good deterrent.

W: I don't think it's a good deterrent at all. My goodness gracious. I mean, first of all, are you sure the person you've convicted to death is really guilty？

M: Well, I think that's a very rare...very rare incidence.

W: I don't think it's rare, with all the cracker jack lawyers we have today, and the judicial system the way it is.

M: I think it's a rare incidence, and I think it's more important to get rid of the...the bad seed, you know？

W: But you don't get rid of it. You rehabilitate somebody like that. You don't eliminate, you rehabilitate.
