听力原文： W: Good morning, sir. What can I help you？

M: I wonder if you could tell me some information about active holidays.

W: Active holidays, sir？ Can you tell me exactly what you mean, please？

M: Well, you see, when I go on holiday, I like to take plenty of exercise. I don't like staying around and doing nothing. I get enough of that in my office. What I mean to say is I'm the sort of men who enjoy swimming, water skiing, that sort of thing. I like anything to do with water and I don't mind roughing it. I've always been used to looking after myself. When I was in the army, I used to get up at five every morning just to see the sunrise.

W: Yes, sir, very interesting. Urn. . . active holidays, let me see. Oh, yes, what about skin diving, sir？ We can offer you a fortnight off the coast of Cornwall, all—including one week skin diving and one week shark-fishing with the local fishermen. It's a very good bargain.

M: Shark-fishing？ I don't think I fancy shark-fishing. Is there any chance of getting a bit of sailing in that part of Cornwall？

W: We don't do any sailing holidays, sir. They are mostly organized by the sailing schools. But rowing, canoeing, yes. Are you fond of rowing, sir？

M: Well, I did a lot of rowing when I was at university, but I'm a bit out of practice these days. I don't think I've handled a pair of oars since I went boating on the Thames ten years ago. No, I don't think I'd like to spend my holiday rowing.

W: Try looking through some of these brochures, sir, and see if there's anything that attracts you.

What is an active holiday according to the man？

A．Sitting around.

B．With joys of social activities.

C．Doing nothing.

D．Holiday with a lot of exercise.

M: I'm sorry about that, madam. What's the matter？

W: Well, frankly, the state of decoration is appalling ...

M: Ah, yes, madam. That room is due to be redecorated next week.

W: Also, the window won't open ...

M: Won't it, madam？ I'll get George to come and look at it.

W: ... and I can't get any hot water in the shower.

M: Ah, perhaps you didn't run the water long enough, madam.

W: I ran it for four or five minutes. That should be long enough.

M: George ... George ... Hart, will you go up to room 43 ... and check the shower and see if you can open the window ...

W: Look, I'm sorry but I'd like another room.

M: Shall we see if we can sort out these little difficulties first, madam？

W: As far as room 43 is concerned, I don't mind what you do, but I want a clean room, in reasonable decorative order, with windows that open and a shower that works.

M: Let me see ... I can let you have a double room, madam.

W: I don't want a double room. I want a single room.

M: I'm sorry, madam, but I'm afraid 43 is the only single room available at the moment. However, I could have a word with the manager when he comes in.

W: I think you'd better.

(20)

A．The decoration is terrible.

B．The window won't open.

C．The room isn't clean.

D．There is no hot water for the shower.

听力原文：M: Hey, Michelle. Look what I just found. Right here in the sand.

W: A piece of wood？ Oh. Driftwood. Interesting shape... Almost like some sort of modern sculpture.

M: Yeah. And feel how smooth it is.

W: Hmm, Must've been in the water a long time. It could've been drifting in the ocean currents for months, or even years.

M: In the currents？ Doesn't the wind just blow things around out there？

W: Well, sure. But the currents are always moving, too. Almost like rivers, but underwater rivers, flowing through the ocean.

M: So how do they find out where these currents go？ Stick a message in a bottle and throw it in the water？

W: Don't laugh. In fact, I was reading in a science magazine that oceanographers have released huge numbers of bottles into the ocean over the years. They wanted to map out where the currents would carry them.

M: Say, I'll bet-after they found out where all those bottles ended up-they could enter all that data in to a computer and make a pretty detailed model to... to show where the currents go.

W: In fact, they did. And they also found a neat way to test that model. There was a freighter carrying sneakers from a factory in Asia. It was caught in a big storm and thousands of pairs of sneakers got dumped in the Pacific Ocean.

M: Really？ What a waste!

W: Yeah. Turns out, though, that hundreds of these shoes started washing up on beaches somewhere near Seattle, just about where the computer models had predicted the currents would carry them.

M: Gee. You mean all that stuff I find on the beaches might be part of some big scientific experiment？ I thought it was all just trash!

(20)

A．Collecting objects on the beach.

B．Creating computer models.

C．Mapping currents in the ocean.

D．Tracking water pollution.

听力原文： We use all sort of services without thinking about how we get them. But such services cost money. We pay for them through taxes. What would happen if everyone in the city stops paying taxes？ The water supply would stop, the street might not get cleaned, and there would be not police force to protect people and property. The chief duty of every government is to protect persons and property. More than three fourths of the money spent by our government is used for this purpose. The next largest amount of public money goes to teach and train our citizens. Billions of dollars each year are spent on schools and libraries. Public money is. used to pay the teachers and other public officials. Years ago the government made money from the sale of public lands. But most of the best public lands have now been sold. The money raised was used to help pay the cost of government. There are still some public lands that contain oil, coal, gas, and other natural products. They could be sold, but we want to save them for future years. So we all must pay our share for the services that make our lives comfortable.

(23)

A．To teach and train citizens.

B．To save natural resources.

C．To protect persons and property.

D．To collect taxes.
