D．Thery are less expensive for a long say
听力原文： Under proper conditions, sound waves will be reflected from a hillside or other such obstruction. Sound travels at the speed of about one-fifth of a mile per second. If the hill is eleven hundred feet away, it takes two seconds for the sound to travel to the hill and back. Thus by measuring the time between a sound and its reflection-the echo, you can calculate the distance to an obstruction.
During World War II the British made a practical use of this rule to discover planes on their way to bomb London long before the enemy was near the object. They used radio waves instead of sound waves, since radio waves can pass through fog and clouds. The outnumbered Royal Air Force (RAF) always seemed to puzzle Germans that they were lying in wait at the right time and were never surprised. It was radio echoes more than anything else that helped them win the war.
Since the radio waves were used to tell the direction in which to send the RAF planes and the distance to send them, the device was called radio directing and ranging, and from the first letters the word radar was formed.
Sound waves reflected from a hill can be used to calculate the______.
A．Speed of sound
B．time between a sound and ifs echo
C．height of the hill
D．distance of the hill
听力原文：(M =Jack; W = Anne)
M: Hey, Anne, long time no see !
W: Yeah, what are you doing？
M: Oh, just hanging around my suite.
W: Oh, you got a suite this year？ I remember last year you were in a triple. I mean, those rooms were really supposed to be for two people, but they stuffed of you in them.
M: Right. That' s why I got to bid first for my room this year. And now me and five other guys are in a suite.
W: So it' s three rooms for two people each？
M: Right. And how about you？ Where are you living this year？
W: I' m out in the Hillside Community. I really like it there. It' s a little further away from the Academic buildings, but it' s nice and quiet. You know, I' m net much of a party goer.
M: I know. Last year our crazy floor used to keep you up all night! De you remember when the RA caught me with beer in my room？ I had to do 15 hours building service!
W: That RA was so strict! In Hillside, since it' s mostly an older community, there are no regulations about alcohol. However, Sunday through Thursday, and Friday and Saturday after 1 a.m. are all "quiet hours".
M: Is it more expensive to live up there？ I know the apartments are really nice.
W: Yeah, a lot more. It's about $2,000 a semester.
M: Whoa. My room is just $1,400 for a year per person.

听力原文： Are you interested in knowing about how to find a place to stay when traveling in the United States？
Well, If you arrive by air, you will see plenty of hotels advertised at airports. If you arrive by train or car, probably the best thing to do is to look into the Yellow Pages under Hotels, Motels or Lodgings. You can start by comparing the services offered in their ads. In any case, you'll have to call them and see if they have the kind of room you're looking for.
Places for stay may be called hotels, motels or motor hotels, inns, lodges or resorts. They are all similar. Motels have plenty of parking space and are usually near a freeway or highway. Inns are usually like hotels. Lodges and resorts, or resort hotels, are in the mountains, on the coast or near lakes. Beds also go by many different names. Starting with the smallest, there are single, twin, double, queen and king size ones. "Long boys" are for exceptionally tall people. At some hotels, queen beds are of smallest size, so a double room has two of them. Some hotels even offer their guests waterbeds. Hide-a-beds are sofas that unfold out to make beds.
People who prefer camping to staying in hotels will have a hard time in American cities, because most of them don't have campgrounds nearby. You can camp in state and national parks, though, which generally have facilities for both tents and trailers.
It is my sincere wish that you will have a good time touring the States, and find a nice place to rest yourself.

During World War II the British used a practical application of this principle to detect German planes on their way to bomb London long before the enemy was near the target. They used radio waves instead of sound waves, since radio waves can penetrate fog and clouds. The outnumbered Royal Air Force(RAF) always seemed to the puzzled Germans to by lying in wait at the right time and never to be surprised. It was radio echoes more than anything else that won the Battle of Britain.
Since the radio waves were used to tell the direction in which to send the RAF planes and the distance to send them (their rage of flight, in other words) , the device was called "radio directing and ranging" , and from the initials the word "radar" was coined.
Sound waves reflected from a hill can be used to estimate the______.
A．height of the hill
B．speed of sound
C．distance to the hill
D．intensity of sound

Working at the Airport
Nowadays, business travelers are staying at the airport to do business. Rather than waste of time in heavy traffic as they try to reach city centre venues, business people
34. are using conference facilities on the offer at airports. Busy executives are also
35. staying there overnight to avoid the difficulty of getting there for take an early morning
36. meeting. And it makes sense for international meetings to be held at airports. It is
37. principally through the improvement in airport hotels that has enabled this
38. development to take place. Today these mini-conference centres provide services are
39. designed for business travellers, like a quick check-in and round-the-clock restaurants,
40. so they can get to work as quickly as possible. They are also less expensive place
41. than their city centre counterparts. Not long years ago, airport hotels were
42. uncomfortable, unattractive and inconvenient for as far as the business traveller was
43. concerned. Yet now that there is strong interest, as travellers become aware of the
44. new facilities. Demand for small meeting rooms is huge, usually for interviews or one
45. -to-one meeting, where executives fly them in and out the same day. The age of the airport is upon us.

Mysterious Nazca Drawings
One of the most mysterious archaeological spectacles in the world is the immense complex of geometrical symbols, giant ground-drawings of birds and animals, and hundreds of long, ruler-straight lines, some right across mountains, which stretch over 1,200 square miles of the Peruvian tablelands, at Nazca.
Nazca was first revealed to modern eyes in 1926 when three explorers looked down on the desert from a hillside at dusk and briefly saw a Nazca line highlighted by the rays of the sun. But it was not until the Peruvian airforce took aerial photographs in the 1940s that the full magnificence of the panorama was apparent. Hundreds of what looked like landing strips for aircraft were revealed. There were eighteen bird-like drawings, up to 400 feet long, four-sided figures with two lines parallel; and long needle-like triangles which ran for miles. Among the many abstract patterns were a giant spider, a monkey, a shark, all drawn on the ground on a huge scale.
The scale is monumental, but from the ground almost invisible and totally incomprehensible. The amazing fact about Nazca, created more than 1,500 years ago, is that it can only be appreciated if seen from the air. Many, therefore, regarded it as a prehistoric landing ground for visitors from outer space, but Jim Woodman, an American explorer, who was long fascinated by the mystery of Nazea, had a different opinion. He believed that Nazca only made sense if the people who had designed and made these vast drawings on the ground could actually see them, and that led him to the theory that the ancient Peruvians had somehow learned to fly, as only from above could they really see the extent of their handiwork. With this theory in mind, he researched into ancient Peruvian legends about flight and came to the conclusion that the only feasible answer was a hot-air balloon.
To prove his theory, Woodman would have to make such a thing using the same fabrics and fibers that would have been available to the men of Nazca at the time. He started by gathering information from ancient paintings, legends, books and archaeological sites. After many attempts, Woodman built a balloon-type airship. It took him into the air, letting him have the sensation he had never had from viewing the same ground that he had seen many times. His flight was a modern demonstration of an ancient possibility.
One of the “most mysterious archaeological spectacles in the world” is______.
A．the size of Nazca
B．the lines over mountains
C．the Peruvian tablelands
D．the huge and complicated ground-drawings
