听力原文：Man: Hello 'Paragliders' Paradise'. How can l help you？
Maria: Oh hi. I'm interested in doing a course in paragliding.
Man: Which course are you interested in？
Maria: Well, I'm not sure. What's available？
Man: Well ... we've got the introductory course which lasts for two days.
Maria: OK.
Man: Or there's the 4-day beginners' course which is what most people do first. I'd tend to recommend that one. And there's also the elementary pilot course which takes five to six days depending on conditions.
Maria: We might try the beginner's course. What sort of prices are we looking at？
Man: The introductory is ＄190; the beginner's course, which is probably what you'd be looking at, is ＄320 - no, sorry 330 - it's just gone up - and the pilot course is ＄ 430.
Maria: Right.
Man: And you also have to become a member of our club so that you're insured. That'll cost you ＄12 a day. Everyone has to take out insurance, you see.
Maria: Does that cover me if I break a leg？
Man: No, I'm afraid not - it's only 3rd party and covers you against damage to other people or their belongings, but not theft or injury. You would need to take out your own personal accident insurance.
Maria: I see! And what's the best way to get to your place？ By public transport or could we come by bike？ We're pretty keen cyclists.
Man: It's difficult by public transport though there is a bus from Newcastle; most people get here by car, though, cos we're a little off the beaten track. But you could ride here OK. I'll send you a map. Just let me take down a few details. What's your name？
Maria: Maria Gentle.
Man: And your address, Maria？
Maria: Well, I'm a student staying with a family in Newcastle.
Man: So it's care of ...
Maria: Care of Mr and Mrs. McDonald.
Man: Like the hamburgers!
Maria: Yes, exactly.
Man: McDonald ...
Maria: The post office box address is probably best. It's R.O. Box 676, Newcastle.
Man: Is there a fax number there, because I could fax you the information？
Maria: Yes, actually, there is. It's 0249 that's for Newcastle and then double seven five four three one.
Man: OK. Now if you decide to do one of our courses, you'll need to book in advance and to pay when you book. How would you be paying？
Maria: Uh ... by credit card if that's OK. Do you take Visa？
Man: Yes, fine. We take all major cards, including Visa.
Maria: OK then. Thanks very much.
Maria: Hi, Pauline.
Pauline: Hi, Maria! What's that you're reading？
Maria: Just some information from a paragliding school-it looks really good fun. Do you fancy a go at paragliding？
Pauline: Sure! Do you have to buy lots of equipment and stuff？
Maria: Not really. The school provides the equipment but we'd have to take a few things along.
Pauline: Such as？
Maria: Well, it says here. 'Clothes: wear stout boots', so no sneakers or sandals I suppose, and 'clothes suitable for an active day in the hills, preferably a long-sleeved t-shirt.' That's probably in-case you land in the stinging nettles! It also says we should bring a packed lunch. We do not recommend soft drinks or flasks of coffee. Water is really the best thing to drink. Er... we need to bring suntan lotion and something to protect your head from the sun!
Pauline: OK that sounds reasonable. And where would we stay？
Maria: Well look! They seem to operate a campsite too, because it says here that it's only ＄10 a day to pitch a tent. That'd be fine, wouldn't it？ And that way we'd save quite a bit because even a cheap hotel would cost money.
Pauline: Um... or perhaps we could stay in a bed-and- breakfast nearby. It gives a couple of names here we could ring. I think I might prefer that. Hotels and youth hostels would all be miles away from the farm and I don't fancy a caravan.
Maria: No, I agree. But let's take a tent and pray for good weather.
Pauline: OK - let's do it. What about next weekend？
Maria: No, I can't - I'm going on a geo

W Sure. But Where's your dentist's office？ Will it really take that long for an appointment？
M Oh, no. He's on 77th Street. But I'll be stopping by the studio on my way back to pick up the audio CDs we had recorded on Monday.
W Oh, okay. That's good. I was going to call a messenger to have those picked up. All right, have a good dentist appointment and I'll see you later.
What does the man ask the woman to do？
A．Call a messenger service
B．Answer his phone while he is out
C．Reschedule his afternoon appointments
D．Tell people when he will return to the office
Most of the near side of the Moon was thoroughly mapped and studied from telescopic pictures years before the age of space exploration. Earth-based telescopes can resolve objects as small as a few hundred meters on the lunar surface. Close observation of craters, combined with the way the Moon diffusely reflects sunlight, led to the understanding that the Moon is covered by a surface layer, or regolith , that overlies the solid rock of the Moon. Telescopic images permitted the cataloging of a bewildering array of land forms. Craters were studied for clues to their origin; the large circular maria were mapper. Wispy marks on the surface (known as rays) emanating from certain craters were seen. Strange, sinuous features were observed in the maria. Although various land forms were catalogued, the majority of astronomers' attention was fixed on craters and their origins.
Astronomers have known for a fairly long time that the shape of craters changes as they increase in size. Small craters with diameters of less than lO-15km have relatively simple shapes. They have rim crests that are elevated above tile surrounding terrain, smooth, bowl-shaped interiors, and depths that are about one-fifth to one-sixth their diameters. The complexity of shape increases for larger craters.
What does the passage mainly discuss？
A．What astronomers learned from the Surveyor and Apollo space missions.
B．Characteristics of the major terrains of the Moon
C．The origin of the Moon's craters.
D．Techniques used to catalogue the Moon's land forms.
After 1785, the production of children's books in the Untied States increased but
remained largely reprints of British books, often those published by John Newbery, the
first publisher to produce books aimed primarily at diverting a child audience. Ultimately,
however, it was not the cheerful, commercial-minded Newhery, but Anglo-Irish author
5 Maria Edgeworth who had the strongest influence on this period of American children's
literature. The eighteenth century had seen a gradual shift away from the spiritual intensity
of earlier American religious writings for children, toward a more generalized moralism.
Newbery notwithstanding, Americans still looked on children's books as vehicles for
instruction, not amusement, though they would accept a moderate amount of fictional
10 entertainment for the sake of more successful instruction. As the children's book market
expanded, then, what both public and publishers wanted was the kind of fiction Maria
Edgeworth wrote: stories interesting enough to attract children and morally instructive
enough to allay adult distrust of fiction,
American reaction against imported books for children set in after the War of 1812
15 with the British. A wave of nationalism permeated everything, and the self-conscious new
nation found foreign writings (particularly those from the British monarchy) unsuitable for
the children of a democratic republic, a slate of self-governing, equal citizens. Publishers
of children's books began to encourage American writers to write for American children.
When they responded, the pattern established by Maria Edgeworth was at hand, attractive
20 to most of them for both its rationalism and its high moral tone. Early in the 1820's,
stories of willful children learning to obey, of careless children learning to take care,
of selfish children learning to "tire for others," started to flow from American presses,
successfully achieving Edgeworth's tone, though rarely her lively style. Imitative as
they were, these early American stories wee quite distinguishable from their British
25 counterparts. Few servants appeared in them, and if class distinctions had by no means
disappeared, there was much democratic insistence on the worthiness of every level of
birth and work. The characters of children in this fiction were serious, conscientious.
self-reflective, and independent-testimony to the continuing influence of the earlier
American moralistic tradition in children's books.
What does the passage mainly discuss？
A．The career of Maria Edgeworth as an author of children's books
B．The development of children's literature in the United States
C．Successful publishers of children's books in Britain and North America
D．Basic differences between British and American literature for children
The Moon, which has undergone a distinct and complex geological history, presents a
striking appearance. The moon may be divided into two major terrains: the maria (dark
lowlands) and the terrace(bright highlands). The contrast in the reflectivity (the capability
of reflecting light) of these two terrains suggested to many early observers that the two
(5) terrains might have different compositions, and this supposition was confirmed by missions to
the Moon such as Surveyor and Apollo. One of the most obvious differences
between the terrains is the smoothness of the maria in contrast to the roughness of the
highlands. This roughness is mostly caused by the abundance of craters; the highlands are
completely covered by large craters(greater than 40-50 km in diameter), while the craters
(10) of the maria tend to be much smaller. It is now known that the vast majority of the Moon's
craters were formed by the impact of solid bodies with the lunar surface.
Most of the near side of the Moon was thoroughly mapped and studied from telescopic
pictures years before the age of space exploration. Earth-based telescopes can resolve
