Now you’ll hear two long conversations.
Conversation One
W:Hey, Joe, what’s all this talk about the benefit walkathon this weekend?
M:Don’t you know? Most of the residents in Packer Hall are going to try to walk the seven miles from the Engineering Library, across campus and down to the City Hall in an effort to raise money for the new children’s hospital.
W:Sounds like a good idea. But I don’t understand where the money comes from?
M:Well, a few days before the walkathon, each participant goes around, asking people to pledge a certain amount of money for each mile that he or she expects to walk in the event. Then after the walkathon is over the participants go back to the same people, collect the money pledged and send it into the hospital.
W:So you mean that someone pledges, say, a dollar a mile, and you walk five miles, you get five dollars?
M:That’s right. Of course, most of my friends aren’t such big spenders. The biggest pledge I’ve gotten so far is twenty-five cents a mile.
W:And how many people have made pledges for you?
M:Eleven, so far. Hey, how about making it even a dozen?
W:Sure, if you’ll do the same for me. The walkathon sounds like a perfect opportunity for me to break in my new pair of sports shoes.

Section B
Passage One
When a sleepy driver has trouble in keeping his eyes on the road and gets too close to another car, an alarm sound will warn the driver. If nothing is done, the car will automatically come to a stop and in this way prevent an accident. This is a new device which will soon be tested in an experimental car in Japan. The computer warning system keeps track of a driver’s condition by monitoring his heart beat with signals transmitted from a band round his wrist. The wrist band records the driver’s pulse which measures the heat beat. Each pulse in the wrist sends a signal to the computer. By analyzing the pulse rate, the computer can determine whether a driver is drunk, sleeping or ill. Devices in other parts of the car can also tell the computer if the car is too close to another vehicle or is moving dangerously. The computer will sound the alarm when a problem arises, and will automatically stop the car if the driver ignores the warning.
Questions 26 to 28 are based on the passage you have just heard.
26.Why is a computer system installed in an experimental car?
【解析】C題目是問為什么計(jì)算機(jī)系統(tǒng)要被裝在實(shí)驗(yàn)的車?yán)铮恼乱验_始說如果兩輛車離得太近的時(shí)候，有沒有什么措施，車就會(huì)自動(dòng)的停止，這樣就會(huì)防止事故的發(fā)生，所以選C。
27.What did the computer system do first when a problem arises?
【解析】B文章的最后說如果有事情發(fā)生的時(shí)候，車?yán)锏挠?jì)算機(jī)系統(tǒng)就會(huì)發(fā)出警報(bào)，所以選B。
28.What is special about the new computer system?
【解析】D袖口記錄了司機(jī)的脈搏，也就是心跳，每次脈沖都會(huì)傳遞給計(jì)算機(jī)一個(gè)信號(hào)，通過分析脈沖頻率，計(jì)算機(jī)能夠分辨出司機(jī)是否醉酒、睡覺。所以選D。
Passage Two
Men have traveled ever since they first appeared on the earth. In primitive times they did not travel for pleasure but to find new places where their herds could feed, or to escape from hostile neighbors, or to find more favorable climates. They traveled on foot. Their journeys were long, tiring, and often dangerous.
Being intelligent and creative, they soon discovered easier ways of traveling. They rode on the backs of their domesticated animals; they hollowed out tree trunks and, by using bits of wood as paddles, were able to travel across water. Later they traveled, not from necessity, but for the joy and excitement of seeing and experiencing new things. This is still the main reason why we travel today.
Scientists have invented machines that can explore outer space. Eventually there will be cheap day excursions to the moon and honeymoons on Venus. People will be able to fly from one planet to another in nasty little arrowshaped tubes. I say “people” because I have no intention of being one of them.
Questions 29 to 31 are based on the passage you have just heard.
29.Which of the following is not the reason for men in primitive times to travel?
【解析】D屬細(xì)節(jié)題。該題是問四個(gè)選項(xiàng)中哪一個(gè)不是原始社會(huì)人們旅行的理由。文章第一段中說：In primitive times they did not travel for pleasure but to find new places where their herds could feed, or to escape from hostile neighbors, or to find more favorable climates.（在原始社會(huì)，人們旅行不是為了享受快樂，而是為了給他們的牛羊找到新牧場(chǎng)，逃離不和睦的鄰居，或者找到氣候條件更好的地方。）前三個(gè)選項(xiàng)均有提及，故正確答案是D項(xiàng)。
30.What made it easier for men to travel later?
【解析】C屬細(xì)節(jié)題。文中第二段說：Being intelligent and creative, they soon discovered easier ways of traveling. They rode on the backs of their domesticated animals; they hollowed out tree trunks and, by using bits of wood as paddles, were able to travel across water.（他們富有智慧和創(chuàng)造力，很快就發(fā)現(xiàn)了更便捷的旅行方式。他們騎在他們飼養(yǎng)的動(dòng)物背上旅行，將樹干挖空做船，木片做槳，在水上航行。）C項(xiàng)符合此意，故為正確選項(xiàng)。
