听力原文： State Department officials say there will be no changes in current U.S. policy towards Latin America after Assistant Secretary of State for Western Hemisphere Affairs Roger Noriega steps down on September 16. Since his Senate confirmation in July 2003, Mr. Noriega has presided over some successes - such as the recent congressional ratification of the Central American Free Trade Agreement - but also has had to deal with a particularly turbulent period in Latin American politics. Mr. Noriega tells VOA weak democratic institutions are responsible for instability in some Latin American countries. Since late 2003, several elected presidents have been forced out of office in the face of popular unrest. In February 2004, Haitian President Jean Bertrand Aristide resigned and fled his country, following an armed uprising. His departure led to the intervention in Haiti of a multinational force to stabilize the Caribbean nation. In April of this year, Ecuador's Congress dismissed President Lucio Gutierrez following violent demonstrations over his economic and political policies. In June, Bolivian President Carlos Mesa was also forced out of office. He said he could no longer govern in the face of continuing protests demanding nationalization of Bolivia's energy industry. As vice president in October 2003, Mr. Mesa had replaced President Gonzalo Sanchez de Lozada, a free market advocate who had also resigned in the face of mass demonstrations and strikes.
According to Roger Noriega, the turbulent period in Latin American was caused by ______.
A．his unsuccessful work
B．the inadequate interventions from the U. S.
C．the immature democratic institutions of some Latin American countries
D．some political leaders
At the close of the 20th century, there seemed to be a rise in the consciousness of ethnic groups around the world, and a sense of pride in what makes them unique. This occurs in the United States among many different groups, and in some cases it has resulted in new names to symbolize each group's identity. In the United States, people have become very sensitive to the language used to describe these groups, and they try to be "politically correct" (P. C. ). For example, many black Americans, particularly young people, prefer the term African-American instead of black, to identify with their African heritage. Some Spanish speakers prefer to be called Latinos (referring to Latin America) instead of Hispanics, while others prefer to be identified by their country of origin (Cuban-American or Cuban, Chicano, Mexican-American or Mexican, and so on).
In spite of some very important differences, however, there is still a tie that binds Americans together. That tie is a sense of national identity—of "being an American". Incidentally, when citizens of the United States refer to themselves as Americans, they have no intention of excluding people from Latin American countries. There is no word such as United Statesians in the English language, so people call themselves Americans. Thus, what is really a language problem has sometimes caused misunderstandings. Although citizens of Latin American countries may call the people in the United States North Americans, to most people in the United States this makes no sense either, because the term North Americans refer to Canadians and Mexicans as well as citizens of the United States. The word American, then, will be used in this text as the adjective and nationality for the people who live in the United States of America.

Whether through fear of the emotional depths, or because of a drying up of the floodgates of religious intensity, the American avoids dwelling on death or even coming to terms with it; he finds it morbid and moves back from it, surrounding it with word avoidance (Americans never die; they "pass away") and various taboos of speech and practice. A "funeral parlor" is decorated to look like a bank; everything in a funeral ceremony is done in hushed tones, as if it were something secret, to be concealed from the world; there is so much emphasis on being dignified that the ceremony often loses its quality: of dignity. In some of the primitive cultures, there is difficulty in under-standing the causes of death; it seems puzzling and even unintelligible. Living in a scientific culture, Americans have a ready enough explanation of how it comes, yet they show little capacity to come to terms with the fact of death itself and with the grief that accompanies it.
"We jubilate over birth and dance at weddings," writes Margaret Mead, "but more and more deal with the death off the scene without ceremony, without an opportunity for young and old to realize that death is as much a fact of life as is birth." And one may add, even in its hurry and brevity, the last stage of an American's life m the last occasion of this relation to his society—is as standardized as the rest.
Unwillingness to face death is
A．a characteristic of American society.
B．a quality found in all civilizations.
C．a quality inherited from our Latin ancestors.
D．a quality of the American character.
Twenty-five of the states have Indian names, but other names were taken from different languages. Georgian and Pennsylvania have names which were taken from the Latin language. Florida and Colorado were named for places in England. The two newest states have names which did not come from any of those languages. Hawaii got its name from a word in the Hawaiian language which means "homeland". Alaska was named by the Russians, from whom Alaska was bought in 1867.
What does "Illinois" mean in Indian language？
"Illinois" mean ______.
At school he seems only to have been interested in mathematics. In fact his formal education was surprisingly brief for a gentleman, and incomplete. For unlike other young Virginian gentlemen of that day, he did not go to the College of William and Mary in the Virginian capital of Williamsburg. In terms of formal training then, Washington contrasts sharply with some other early American presidents such as John Adams, Thomas Jefferson and James Madison. In later years, Washington probably regretted his lack of intellectual training. He never felt comfortable in a debate in Congress, or on any subject that had nothing to do with everyday, practical matters. And because he never learned French and could not speak directly to the French leaders, he did not visit the country he admired so much. Thus, unlike Jefferson and Adams, he never reached Europe.
Washington felt uncomfortable in Congress debates because he ______.
A．lacked practice in public speaking
B．felt his education was inadequate
C．disliked arguing and debating with people
D．felt the others were impractical
