SECTION B PASSAGES
Directions: In this section, you will hear several passages. Listen to the passages carefully and then answer the questions that follow.
听力原文： Bicycling is one of the fastest growing forms of recreation. People are drawn to it for many reasons, being out in the fresh air, the thrill of speed, the physical challenge, along with many other things. But there can be many more uses for the bicycle, for example, transportation.
The use of bicycles can greatly improve the economy of a nation. A comparison between the efficiency of the transportation systems of the United Stated and Japan points this out. In 1990 Americans spent 17.9 percent of the GNP on transportation, whereas the Japanese spent only 10. 79 percent on transportation. This difference of nearly 7 percent, gives the Japanese economy much more money for investing in their future.
Our economy is not the only thing we should worry about, and it is also not the only thing that can be improved by the use of bicycles. There are several major problems that could be drastically reduced by the increased use of bicycles. Traffic would be a lot lighter due to the extremely small size of bicycles. It would also greatly reduce the wear and tear on our roads and highways, and therefore reduce government expenditure. But one of the most serious problems it would reduce is that of pollution and smog in our larger cities.
Bicycling, according to the speaker, is mainly a form. of______.
A．recreation
B．challenge
C．efficiency
D．transportation

Electric heating dominates most areas with mild winters and cheap electricity, including the South and the Northwest.It was made popular at least in the South by the low cost of adding electric heating to new houses built with air.conditioning.Bottled gas.which is somewhat more expensive than utility gas，is the fuel of choice in rural areas not served by utility pipelines.Wood is the leading heating fuel in just a few rural counties.
Home heating，which accounts for less than 7 percent of a11 energy consumed in the U.S.has had a commendable(值得赞扬的)efficiency record：from 1978 to 1997，the amount of fuel consumed for this purpose declined 44 percent despite a 33 percent increase in the number of housing units and an increase in house size.The U.S.Department of Energy。however, forecasts mat energy used in home heating will rise by 14 percent over the next two decades.That rise is small considering an expected 2 1 percent increase in the number of houses and the trend toward larger houses.
Natural gas and electricity will probably dominate the home heating market for the next two decades.Solar(太阳的)heating never became popular because of cost and limited winter sunlight in most areas;in 2000 only 47.000 homes relied on it.

听力原文： China is expected to replace the United States as the World’s largest photographic market within 25 years, according to projections made by industrial leader Eastman Kodak.
China’s photographic market has been growing at an annual rate of about 10 percent during the past few years, eight percentage points higher than the United States.
In major Chinese cities, each person uses only 0.9 rolls of film annually, according to managers in Kodak’s photographic products department. In rural areas, the figure is a negligible 0.01 rolls.
These figures suggest a huge opportunity for film producers to tap into a market where personal incomes are increasing and whetting people’s desires for more photographs. Vast market potential has encouraged leading players to intensify their development strategies in China.
Officials from Lucky, the country’s only domestic film producer, said the company will speed up the development of processing chain stores this year and will invest heavily in promotions. Meanwhile, Kodak is expected to stage Kodak Carnival Exhibitions in Shanghai, Beijing, Guangzhou and Chengdu. It is the largest show ever staged in China by Kodak.
The company also launched a new program which will enable small investors to open a Kodak Express processing store and wanted to develop China into its No. 1 market within 10 years. Since 1994, more than 4,500 processing stores have been opened in more than 500 cities across the country.

The Antarctic is the most remote continent and the last
to be discovered, but it constitutes up about a tenth of the 【M1】______
world's land surface. It is also the only continent without an
indigenous human people. 【M2】______
In the past it had a warm climate, supporting luxury 【M3】______
vegetation and large animals, but the climate deteriorated
over the last 30 million years. Once a great continent 【M4】______
Gondwana had drifted apart sufficiently for a southern
circumpolar current to become established. This, the largest
ocean current in the world, cut off Antarctica from the warmer
oceans to the north and 'allowed the ice sheets in places over
four kilometers high, to develop. 【M5】______
This region is the earth's major heat sink and contains ninety
percent of the world's ice and nearly three-quarters of
its water. Only two percent of the continent is not covered 【M6】______
by ice, and the life retains a tenuous foothold there.
Nearly the half of Antarctica's coastline is hidden by 【M7】______
thick float ice shelves or glacier, and the rest is scoured 【M8】______
by icebergs down to depths of 15 metres. But below this level
there is a colorful marine world containing a great diverse 【M9】______
of life. Recent work has shown that the pack
ice supplies a surprising rich Winter habitat 【M10】______
for a number of small creatures.

Home Heating

Electric heating dominates most areas with mild winters and cheap electricity, including the South and the Northwest It was made popular at least in the South by the low cost of adding electric heating to new houses built with air-conditioning Bottled gas, which is somewhat more expensive than utility gas, is the fuel of choice in rural areas not served by utility pipelines Wood is the leading heating fuel in just a few rural counties

听力原文： Americans are big tippers. Generally the custom is more common in a large city than in a small town. Customers are expected to give a tip, or small amount of money, whenever services are performed. A tip is expected by the porter who carries your baggage, by taxi drivers (in the case, 15 percent of the fare) and by those who serve you in hotels and restaurants. For example, in hotels it is customary to give a tip to the porter who carries your suitcase and shows you to your room. In this case, 50 cents for each bag is satisfactory; in restaurants you generally leave about 15 percent fit. he bill on the table as a tip for the person who has served you.
There are two common explanations for the origin of tipping. The Oxford English Dictionary says 6p is 17th century' underworld slang for "give"—as in the threat "tip me your wallet or your life". Opponents of tipping will probably prefer this explanation and they argue that tipping suggests the practice that is originally a form. of theft or robbery. The second explanation which is still less reputable is that in Renaissance coffee-houses, boxes were set near the door, into which customers could drop small sum of money for good service. These boxes, according to the story, bore the explanatory words "To Insure Promptitude", which was gradually shortened to Tip.

A．A porter.
B．A waitress.
C．A nurse.
D．A taxi-driver.
