听力原文： "The sea is the common property of all nations. It belongs equally to all. None can appropriate it exclusively to themselves; nor it is 'foreign' to any. "

This was the decision of John Marshall, chief justice of the United States from 1801 to 1835. It was stated as a fundamental rule of the sea that no one, and therefore everyone, owns the ocean. This means that outside territorial waters (the waters within three miles of a country's coast), the law is whatever nations agree on in peacetime and whatever the strongest naval powers can en force in wartime.

After the United States purchased Alaska, Americans began to seize Canadians who were hunting seals outside Alaskan territorial waters. The Americans claimed that the seals were American property because they often came in to the Alaskan shores owned by the United States. International arbitrators disagreed with this reasoning. In some cases, however, the special rights of a nation that makes use of an open-sea area are recognized.

All of the sea's rules of the road are established by international conference and treaties.

(27)

A．Any powerful nation may control the sea.

B．Any area of the sea belongs to the nation closest to it.

C．No one has exclusive rights to the open sea.

D．No nations has any sea rights.

Section B

Directions: In this section, you will hear 3 short passages. At the end of each passage, you will hear some questions. Both the passage and the questions will be spoken only once. After you hear a question, you must choose the best answer from the four choices marked A, B, C and D.

听力原文： The United Nations published a report that was called "The State of World Population". It shows that the growth rate of world population will actually go down in the next ten years. The growth rate will fall from the present 18% to a rate of about 16% by the end of this century. But the report also points out that problems of food, health care, housing care, housing, jobs and schools will get worse unless we do something about the situation.

Why is this？ Although the total growth rate of the world population will decrease in some countries there will be a big rise in the population. More people will be born in Third World countries than in the richer Northern countries. So the population will grow faster in poor countries; and the problems in these countries will be very serious. This is because the family is more likely to survive if there are a lot of children to work for the members who become old or who cannot find work. A survey of the United Nations also shows that the growth rate is low where there is a higher level of income, better education, more health care and better living conditions. In this aspect, government plays an important role. So, the conclusion of the United Nations report is: "Look after the people and the population will look after itself."

(27)

A．The total growth rate of world population will increase.

B．The growth rate of population in richer countries will increase.

C．The growth rate of population in poor countries will increase.

D．The total growth rate in American countries will increase.
