听力原文：Hong Kong's unemployment rate has remained stable at 6.3% in the past three month

听力原文： Hong Kong's unemployment rate has remained stable at 6.3% in the past three months, as business conditions have improved in the last month. Figures indicated that from March to May this year the size of the labor force was provisionally at 3,462,000 while the number of unemployed people stood at 216,000. The number of cases of insolvency, sensational business and retrenchment and the number of workers affected by these cases as recorded by the Labor Department have shown a climbing trend in recent months. From March to May 1999, 78 such cases involving 3,882 workers were recorded as compared to 93 cases affecting 5,220 workers for the three months from December 1998 to February 1999. Figures for the period from March to May 1999 when compared with those from February to April 1999 show an increase in the unemployment rate mainly in the renovation maintenance, whole-sale and retail and transport sectors, which have offset the decrease seen in the construction, import and export and financing sectors.

In the recent three months, Hong Kong's unemployment rate has

A．increased slowly.

B．decreased gradually.

C．stayed steady.

D．become unpredictable.

听力原文：It was not yet eleven o'clock when a boat crossed the river with a single passeng

听力原文： It was not yet eleven o'clock when a boat crossed the river with a single passenger, who had promised to pay an extra fare. While the youth stood on the landing place searching in his pockets for money, the boatman got close to him and, with the help of the moonlight, took a careful look at the stranger—a young man of just 18 years, obviously country bred, and now, as it seemed, on his first visit to town.

He was wearing a rough grey coat, which was in good shape. The clothes under his coat were veil made of leather, and fitted tightly to a pair of fat legs; his blue cotton stockings must have been the work of his mother or sister, and on his head was a 3-cornered hat. In his left hand was a walking stick, which hung on his strong shoulders, with 2 leather bags on both ends of the stick. The youth, whose name was Robin, paid the boatman, and then walked forward into the town with light steps, as if he had not already traveled more than 30 miles that day. As he walked along, he looked about his surroundings as eagerly as if he were entering London or Madrid, instead of the little town.

(33)

A．Because he knew he would be paid more than what was usual.

B．Because Robin was just over 20.

C．Because he felt sorry for the handsome young man.

D．Because the boat could only carry one passenger.

Humans aren't the only ones to take a summer holiday, a new study has revealed.Creepy-craw

Humans aren't the only ones to take a summer holiday, a new study has revealed.

Creepy-crawlies, flies, and plants also join the vacation rush by hitching long-haul rides inside airline baggage.

The research reveals that—like people in many countries—June, July, and August are the peak months for long-distance travel.

Jet-Setting Beetles

Previous studies have shown that international flights are a significant factor in unwelcome insect invasion. Some 73 percent of recorded pest interceptions in the U.S., in fact, occur at airports.

Curious to determine when insects pack their bags and where the bugs are most likely to go, Andrew Tatem and Simon Hay of the University of Oxford in England studied global flight patterns for the 12-month period from May 1,2005 to April 30,2006.

Pest travel between far-flung locations is more likely when the weather is similar in both regions, making it easy for the pests to settle into their new home.

The researchers used rainfall, temperature, and humidity data from each region to work out which places linked by the global flight network had the most similar climates at various times of the year.

"Hawaii, with its moderate year-round climate, is a hot spot for pest invasions," Tatem said. "It is linked to a similar climate in Central America in April, Asia in July, and the Caribbean in October."

In general, though, June, July, and August are the peak months for insect travel.

"There are more airports in the Northern Hemisphere, and the major Southern Hemisphere airports tend to be closer to the Equator," Tatem said. "The June-to- August period stood out as the time when, overall, the busiest flight routes connect geographically distant but climatically similar locations."

According to the article, what is the main cause of insect invasions？

A．Changing wind patterns.

B．Unusually hot temperatures.

C．International flights.

D．Changes in agricultural chemicals.

第9题

Surprisingly enough, modern historians have rarely interested themselves in the history of

the American South in the period before the South began to become self-consciously and distinctively "Southern"—the decades after 1815. Consequently, the cultural history of Britain's North American Empire in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries has been written almost as if the Southern colonies had never existed. The American culture that emerged during the Colonial and Revolutionary eras has been depicted as having been simply an extension of New England Puritan culture. However, Professor Davis has recently argued that the South stood apart from the rest of American society during the early period, following its own unique pattern of cultural development. The case for Southern distinctiveness rests upon two related premises: first, that the cultural similarities among the five Southern colonies were far more impressive than the differences, and second, that what made those colonies alike also made them different from the other colonies. The first, for which Davis offers an enormous amount of evidence, can be accepted without major reservations; the second is far more problematic.

What makes the second premise problematic is the use of the Puritan colonies as a basis for comparison. Quite properly, Davis decries the excessive influence ascribed by historians to the Puritans in the formation of American culture. Yet Davis inadvertently adds weight to such ascriptions by using the Puritans as the standard against which to assess the achievements and contributions of Southern colonials. Throughout, Davis focuses on the important, and undeniable, differences between the Southern and Puritan colonies in motives for and patterns of early settlement, in attitudes toward nature and native Americans, and in the degree of receptivity to metropolitan cultural influences.

However, recent scholarship has strongly suggested that those aspects of early New England culture that seem to have been most distinctly Puritan, such as the strong religious orientation and the communal impulse, were not even typical of New England as a whole, but were largely confined to the two colonies of Massachusetts and Connecticut. Thus, what in contrast to the Puritan colonies appears to Davis to be peculiarly Southern—acquisitiveness, a strong interest in politics and the law, and a tendency to cultivate metropolitan cultural models—was not only more typically English than the cultural patterns exhibited by Puritan Massachusetts and Connecticut, but also almost certainly characteristic of most other early modern British colonies from Barbados north to Rhode Island and New Hampshire. Within the larger framework of American colonial life, then, not the Southern but the Puritan colonies appear to have been distinctive, and even they seem to have been rapidly assimilating to the dominant cultural patterns by the last Colonial period.

The author is primarily concerned with ______.

A．refuting a claim about the influence of Puritan culture on the early American South

B．refuting a thesis about the distinctiveness of the culture of the early American South

C．refuting the two premises that underlie Davis' discussion of the culture of America

D．challenging the hypothesis that early American Culture was homogeneous in nature
