听力原文：W: What are you working now？M: （19)I've just finished a piece of background music

听力原文：W: What are you working now？

M: (19)I've just finished a piece of background music.

W: Background music？

M: Yes. (21)It’s supposed to influence your attitude, put you in the right mood.

W: I'm not sure I like that idea.

M: It seems to work. Factories use it a lot. (20) It makes the workers happy and work better that way. In one factory, music increased production 4.5%.

W: I think they'd get tired of hearing music all day.

M: They don't. If the music stops, somebody always runs to the telephone to complain.

W: I can't remember when there wasn't background music.

M: Actually, it started during WWII when some factories had their own orchestras to keep workers happy and calm. Now the music is piped in by a machine, and different kinds of music are played at different times during the day. They play faster music at ten in the morning than at eight, because workers tend to be slower then.

W: What about restaurants？ Do they play the same music for dinner or lunch？

M: I don't know. But I know hamburger places play fast music because they found a customer spent only seventeen minutes eating. The time was twenty-two minutes before that.

W: (22)80 they have more people coming in and out to buy hamburgers.

M: Exactly. (21)And that's good for business. You can see why music has become so popular.

W: There's still something about it that I don't quite like.

M: I know what you mean, but lots of people would not agree with you. Companies pay millions of dollars every year for background music. Prisons use it, and farmers use it to keep their cattle calm. It's even supposed to have an effect on plants.

(23)

A．A player of background music.

B．A researcher on the function of background music.

C．A composer of background music.

D．A fan of background music.

听力原文：The animals you would have seen on a typical farm in Massachusetts in the early 1

听力原文： The animals you would have seen on a typical farm in Massachusetts in the early 1800s would not look quite the same as the ones you might see in the 1980s. In colonial times settlers brought cattle and sheep with them to America from various parts of Europe. Because the settlers were busy building houses, clearing land and planting crops, they had little time to care for their animals. The cattle and sheep had to fend for themselves and females were bred to whatever bulls or rams in the neighborhood. These matings resulted in mixed breeds of cattle and sheep that can hardly survive under adverse conditions. As the herds grew, they provided the settlers with meat as well as milk and wool. That was almost all the 19th- century farm families needed, enough food for themselves and a little surplus that could be traded for things they couldn't produce at home. Now the survival of farm animals is not so precarious. Breeding is much more selective and specialized, pure-bred cattle and sheep predominate, some bred for their meat, others for their milk or wool.

(33)

A．The differences between sheep and cattle breeding.

B．Living conditions in the colony of Massachusetts.

C．Food shortages in the early 1800s.

D．Livestock raising on early American farms.
