听力原文： Where Did the Americans Come from？ There is a great deal of land in the United States, but there is also a population in America. Where did the people come from？

The first Americans who came to the land were Indians. Today there are about 900,000 American Indians. There is one part of the country with an especially large Indian population. That is the southwest. Blacks first came to America from Africa as slaves. President Lincoln freed the slaves in 1863. About eleven percent of the present American population are Blacks. The first immigrants in American history came from England and the Netherlands. Soon immigrants began to arrive from many other countries, and they are still arriving. In 1790 the new nation had fewer than four million people. Today there are more than 300 million. These include people from all parts of the world.

(33)

听力原文：America is growing older. Fifty years ago, only 4 out of every 100 people in the

听力原文： America is growing older. Fifty years ago, only 4 out of every 100 people in the United States were 65 or older. Today, 10 out of every 100 Americans are over 65. The aging of the population will affect American society in many ways — education, medicine and business.

Quietly, the graying of America has made us a very different society — one in which people have a quite different idea of what kind of behavior. is suitable at various ages. A person's age no longer tells you anything about his / her social position, marriage or health. There's no longer a particular year in which one goes to school or goes to work or gets married or starts a family. The social clock that kept us on time and told us when to go to school, get a job, or stop working isn't as strong as it used to be. It doesn't surprise us to hear of a 29-year-old university president or a 35-year-old grandmother, or a 70-year-old man who has become a father for the first time.

Public ideas are changing. Many people say, "I am much younger than my mother or my father was at my age". No one says "Act your age" anymore. We've stopped looking with surprise at older people who act in youthful ways.

Questions 29 to 31 are based on the passage you have just heard.

29. What is the percentage of people above 65 in America today？

30. What can we know from the passage？

31. What does the passage imply？

(30)

A．4%.

B．10%.

C．14%.

D．25%.

听力原文：When I arrived in America three years ago, I was surprised by the tremendous amou

听力原文： When I arrived in America three years ago, I was surprised by the tremendous amount of advertising. But now I've come to realize that it is a creative and necessary part of an industrial society. I, too, want to improve my life style. and to buy better products. I look to advertising to show me how to do it. Deciding what to believe in an advertisement, however, isn't easy. It seems to me that a person must purchase things with a lot of care. As a consumer, I want to get the best for my money so I really have to understand the techniques of advertising. Otherwise, manufacturers would be able to sell me anything, whatever its quality may be. The creative aspects of advertisements, for instance, often cover up defects or problems in products. I have learned this well, since I have made purchases and lost money because the items were of poor quality. The future advertising most likely will involve more public participation. In the future, if customers really care about the quality of something as well as the quantity, maybe advertisers will begin to care more about what they are trying to sell.

Questions 29 to 31 are based on the passage you have just heard.

29. What do we learn about the speaker？

30. What's the speaker's impression of the advertisement in America when she first arrived there？

31. What does the speaker think future advertisers should do？

(30)

A．She has always lived in America.

B．She visited America three years ago.

C．She has been in America for three years.

D．She has come to America to do research on advertising.

听力原文： According to Alvin Toffler, author of the best seller Future Shock, （32)America

听力原文： According to Alvin Toffler, author of the best seller Future Shock, (32)America has become a throwaway society. (33)Cardboard milk containers and rockets are only two examples. Such products are created for short-term or one-time use. They are becoming more numerous and more important to modern living. Toffler thinks that man's relationships with things will grow increasingly temporary.

As proof of this trend, Toffler cites such products as disposable diapers, (33)bibs, paper napkins and non-returnable bottles. Vegetables are encased in plastic sacks. They can be dropped into a pan of boiling water and thrown away after the meal. TV dinners are cooked in throwaway trays. They are even served in them.

All these things are quickly used up. Then they are ruthlessly eliminated. In Toffler's view, the American home has become little more than a large processing plant.

(35)Toffler further believes that his countrymen are developing values to go with their throwaway products. (34)He says that easy disposability leads to shorter man-thing relationships. People were once linked with a few objects for a long time. Now they are linked with a series of objects for a brief period. So the relationship between them is not so long and it's hard for people to have the deep feeling to something. Because after one time. they'll be thrown away.

(33)

A．Introduce Alvin Toffler's best seller Future Shock.

B．Discuss the throwaway problem in America.

C．Analyze the relationship between men and things.

D．Describe the throwaway products made in USA.

听力原文： In the past few years, millions of Americans have become suddenly enthusiastic about the bicycle as if it were a great new invention. Annual bicycle sales doubled between 1960 and 1970, and there are nearly 70 million bicycles in the United States today.

Of course, the bicycle has been around for more than 160 years and this isn't America's first bicycle passion. A wave of bicycle enthusiasm swept the land in the late 1800s and bicycle production was up to two million in 18917. Then with the coming of the automobile, bicycle declined, and for decades remained popular only with children and a few adults.

Now, a national concern with air pollution and physical fitness has brought the bicycle back to the forefront, particularly with adults. More than eight million bikes were sold in the United States last year, a third of which bought by adults. But the year before, only 15 percent of new bicycle sales were for adults.

(33)

A．Nearly 7 million.

B．Nearly 17 million.

C．Nearly 70 million.

D．Nearly 77 million.

听力原文：For years, children in the industrial areas of Europe and America seldom left the

听力原文： For years, children in the industrial areas of Europe and America seldom left their smoky cities to see the beauties of the countryside. This was not because the woods and fields were always far away, but because they were too far from the city to permit people to make a day trip between morning and nightfall.

In 1907, a young German schoolmaster had an idea which changed this state of affairs. He decided to turn his little schoolhouse into a dormitory for the summer holidays. Anyone who brought his sleeping bag and cooking equipment along could stay there for a very small quantity of money. The idea was a success. A few years later, the schoolhouse was much too small to hold the many young people who wanted to stay there. As a result, a dormitory was set up in an old castle nearby. This was the first Youth Hostel.

Today, young students and workers of every country can meet in the hostels and get to know each other. When young people arrive at a hostel, they have only to show their card of membership in a hostel organization in their own country. This card will permit them to use the facilities of hostels all over the world for a very low price.

(30)

A．Because industrialization had damaged the beauties of the countryside.

B．Because the woods and fields were too far away to be visited.

C．Because they found it impossible to make a trip within one day.

D．Because their parents did not permit them to go to far away places.
