听力原文： The first newspapers were handwritten sheets which were posted in public places. The earliest recorded newspaper was started in Rome in 59 B. C. In the 700s, the world's first printed newspaper was developed in China. The paper was printed from carved wooden blocks and distributed among the citizens. Europe didn't have a regularly published newspaper until 1609, when one was started in Germany.

The first regularly published newspaper in the English language was printed in Amsterdam in 1620. In 1621, an English newspaper was started in London and was published weekly. The first daily English newspaper was the Daily Courant (current), which didn't appear until March 1702.

In 1690, Benjamin Harris printed the first American newspaper in Boston. The paper was called Publick {public) Occurrences, both Forreign (foreign) and Domestick (domestic). The local government, however, didn't approve of the paper and stopped its publication after the first issue. In 1704, John Campbell started The Boston Newsletter, the first newspaper to be published daily in the American colonies. By 1760, the colonies had more than thirty daily newspapers. There are now about 1, 800 daily papers in America.

Today, as a group, English language newspapers have the largest circulation all over the world. The largest circulation for an individual newspaper, however, is that of the Japanese newspaper A sahi Shimbun, which sells more than eleven million copies each day.

How long is it since the first newspaper was printed？

A．700 years.

B．Over 2, 000 years.

C．About 1, 300 years.

D．About 380 years.

阅读理解。

The first English dictionary was published in 1604. The dictionary was actually nothing more than a list

of about 3, 000 difficult words, each followed by a one-word definition.

The author, Robert Cawdrey, made no attempt to include everyday words in his dictionary. No one, he

reasoned, would ever have to look up a word in a dictionary if he already knew the meaning of the word.

During the 1600's more dictionaries were published. Each followed Cawdrey's lead and presented a few

thousand hard words. Around 1700 one dictionary maker, John Kersey, did define easy words as well as hard

words. But until the 1750's all the dictionaries were rather crude and not very valuable.

A man named Dr Samuel Johnson changed all this. In 1755 Dr Johnson produced the first modern

dictionary. He included in his dictionary all important words, both easy and hard, and he gave good meanings.

He also gave good sentences to show how each word was actually used in speech and in writing. By the end

of the 1700's most dictionary makers had followed Johnson's example. Dictionaries were getting better and

better.

The 1800's saw the greatest improvement in the quality of dictionaries. In England scholars planned and

prepared the Oxford English Dictionary, a twenty-volume (卷；册；部) work. One of the most interesting

features of the Oxford Dictionary is its word histories. It traces (追溯；探索) the history of each word from

its earliest recorded use up to the time of the printing of the dictionary.

A. defined easy words as well as hard ones

A. It was not very valuable.

B. It was the first modern English dictionary.

C. It included easy words as well as hard ones.

D. It gave sentences to show the usage of words.

4. The most interesting feature of the Oxford Dictionary was that ______.

A. it had a complete list of difficult words

第6题

听力原文： OK, in the last class we talked about the classification of trees and we ended up with-a basic description of angiosperm. You remember that those are plants with true flowers and seeds that develop into fruits. The common broadleaf trees we have on campus fall into this category. But our pines don't. Now ! hope you all followed my advice and wore comfortable shoes because as I said today we are going to do a little field study. To get started let me describe a couple of broadleaf trees we have in front of us. I'm sure you've all noticed that this big tree next to Brett Hall. It's a black walnut that must be 80 feet tall. As a matter of fact there is a plaque identifying. It is the tallest black walnut in the state. And from here we can see the beautiful archway of trees at the commons. They are American elms. The ones along the commons were planted when the college was founded 120 years ago. They have distinctive dark green leaves that look lopsided because the two sides of the leaf are unequal. I want you to notice the elm right outside the Jackson Hall. Some of the leaves have withered and turned yellow, maybe due to Dutch elm disease. Only a few branches seem affective so far but if this tree is sick it'll have to be cut down. Well, let's move on and I'll describe what we see as we go.

What are the students going to do during this class period？

A．Watch a slide show about trees.

B．Learn how to prevent Dutch elm disease.

C．Study the history of the campus buildings and grounds.

D．Look at examples of trees on campus.
