听力原文： Americans love pets. Many pet owners treat their furry friends as part of the family. If they have an eye for fashion, pet owners can dress their pets in stylish clothes. For special occasions, they can use perfume to make their dogs smell well. You might say Americans treat their pets like they treat their children—sometimes even better. In America, there are more households with pets than those with children. At least 43 percent of U. S. homes have pets of some sort. Exotic creatures, such as monkeys, snakes and even wolves, find a home with some Americans. More common pets include tropical fish, mice and birds. But the all time favorites are cats and dogs, even at the White House. The Bushes’ dog, Spot, has replaced the Clintons’ cat, Socks. Leading a dog’s life in America isn’t such a bad thing. Many grocery stores sell delicious pet foods to owners eager to please their pets. In Houston, Texas, dogs can have their dinner delivered to their homes, just like pizza. Pets can even accompany their owners on vacation. Fancy hotels are beginning to accommodate both man and pets. Furry guests in hotels can enjoy delicious meals served on fine china and sleep in soft beds. The average American enjoys having pets around, and for good reasons. Researchers have discovered that interacting with animals lowers a person’s blood pressure. Dogs can offer protection from burglars and unwelcome visitors. Cats can help the home get rid of pests. Little creatures of all shapes and sizes can provide companionship and love. In many cases, having a pet prepares 32 a young couple for the responsibilities of parenthood. Pets even encourage social relationships: They give their owners an appearance of friendliness, and they provide a good topic of conversation.

(33)

A．Presidents like to keep pets.

B．Pets can offer protection for owners.

C．Pets can encourage social relationships.

D．Pets are good companies to many old people.

听力原文： A good way to see the USA is by car. Americans love their automobiles and in the past fifty years they have developed a vast network of roads and freeways to help them reach their destinations.

As few visitors have their own cars, renting one is the next best thing. You will need a valid driver's license and either international credit cards, or a deposit.

You should start out with a working knowledge of the road. Regulations vary from state to state and this can be very confusing to a newcomer. For example, in some states it is legal to turn right at a red light if there is no approaching traffic, while in other states you will be fined for this action. Throughout the country it is forbidden to pass a school bus when it has stopped to let off children.

The size of the country may startle you at first and you may be surprised at the spectacular physical beauty. When the first pioneers began to expand west into the wildness, the natural resources of the land seemed inexhaustible. Nearly 1,000 million acres of land was covered by virgin forest. Much of this was burnt off for farmland and it soon became apparent that the government would have to take action or the natural beauty of the land would be lost forever.

(33)

A．A driver's license.

B．A passport.

C．An international credit card.

D．A deposit.

听力原文：W: What else has made a deep impression on you during your visit to America？

M: Hmm... I should say I'm a little surprised to see so many different kinds of ethnic restaurants in your country.

W: Yeah. In America, you can enjoy the cooking of different countries, such as that of China, Italy, India, and France.

M: Is it because immigrants miss the traditional foods of their native lands？

W: Not necessarily. Some of them open restaurants because they don't have the skills or qualifications to do anything else when they arrive in the US.

M: Are these ethnic restaurants also popular with native-born Americans？

W: Sure. Americans love to try new and unusual foods.

M: I see. No wonder it is sometimes a bit hard to find a "traditional" American restaurant.

W: You are right. When it comes to food and eating, America truly is a melting pot.

Q6. What impresses the man deeply during his visit in America？

(14)

A．The large number of immigrants there.

听力原文：W: The Americans came from America. That's easy, isn't it？M: I'm sorry to say you

听力原文：W: The Americans came from America. That's easy, isn't it？

M: I'm sorry to say you are wrong! The Americans came from almost every part of the world. That's to say, mare than 230 million people now call America home, but most of them can trace their families back to other parts of the world. That's why America has long been known as a "melting pot". It is believed that the first to arrive were the American Indians. They came titan Asia in very ancient times, more than 10,000 years ago. There used to be millions of them, but today they only number about 850,000. Half of them live on special land of their own in 31 states, while the others have "melted" in with the rest of America's 230 million people.

W: Do the American Indians have anything to do with the Indians of India？

M: No, nothing. As a matter of fact, the American Indiana came from Siberia.

W: Then, why do people call them Indians？

M: Because when Christopher Columbus made his historic voyage in 1492, he expected to reach India. So he called the people of the New World "Indians" and Indian is the name that has remained till now.

(26)

A．Because Americans love melting pot.

B．Because Americans came from almost every part of the world.

C．Because America is famous for melting pot.

D．Because America contains a large number of people.

听力原文： Everywhere we look，we see Americans running. They run for every reason anybody could think of. They run for health，for beauty，to lose weight，to keep fit，and because it is the thing they love to do. Every year， for example，thousands of people run in one race，the Boston Marathon，the best known long distance race in the United States. In recent years there have been nearly 5，000 official competitors and it takes three whole minutes for the crowd of runners just to cross the starting line.

You may have heard the story of the Greek runner，Pheidippides. He ran from Marathon to Athens to deliver the news of the great victory 2，500 years ago. No one knows how long it took him to run the distance. But the story tells us that he died of the effort. Today no one will die in a Marathon race. But at the finish line，we see what this race is about；not being first，hut finishing. The real victory is not over one's fellow runners，but over one's own body. It is a victory of will power over fatigue. In the Boston Marathon，each person who crosses that finish line is a winner.

听力原文：The Americans believe that anybody can become President of the United States. In

听力原文： The Americans believe that anybody can become President of the United States. In a recent Hollywood comedy, that is exactly what happens.

Dave Kovic, played by Kevin Kline, is a kind-hearted man who runs a business that finds people jobs. He leads a typical American way of life, except for one thing—he looks exactly like the President, Bill Mitchell. In fact, the only thing that makes him different from the nation's leader is that he is very nice!

The president has started using look-alikes during some public appearances. Dave is offered a chance to "serve his country" by becoming one. However, things go wrong. The President becomes very ill and Dave ends up acting as the President forever.

Director Ivan Reitman, who made the popular and successful comedies like Twins, Ghostbusters and Legal Eagles, could have gone for easy laughs by making fun of the American government. Instead, Dave is an attractive comedy about an ordinary man in extraordinary situations. Kevin Kline gives a double performance as Dave and the President, and Sigourney Weaver is at her best as his First Lady. The love story that develops between her role and Dave is a real classic.

The film is 100% American．However，if you've ever felt that anybody could do a better job running the country than the people in power, then you'll enjoy Dave!

29. What is the purpose of the passage？

30.Who plays the role of the President in the film？

31.What can be inferred from the passage？

(30)

A．To make a comparison between Dave and other films.

B．To discuss the Americans' ideas about the President.

C．To tell readers about the American government.

D．To introduce a new film to the reader.
