Task 2

Directions: This task is the same as Task 1. The 5 questions or unfinished statements are numbered 41 through 45.

As the cost of "v-mail" (video mail) service drops, an "I miss you" message from a far away sweetheart or a "Happy Birthday" serenade(小夜曲) from Grandma could soon be winging its way to your mailbox. A variety of companies have recently introduced cheap video-mail offerings that manage to force a one-minute multimedia(多媒体) message to the size of a one-page Word document. And the prices of web cameras—ranging from $25 to $150—are dropping fast. According to a recent Forrester Research study in the US, 94% of Internet users send an e-mail at least once a week, and 41% send pictures through e-mail once a week, which shows a huge market.

A number of Internet service providers believe that consumers will be eager to use voice and video e-mail. AT&T WorldNet, Microsoft Corp's WebTV, Yahoo, to name a few, have all jumped on the v-mail bandwagon(乐队花车). All that's required is a standard web camera and video-mall software, some suppliers charge a monthly fee for either an unlimited or set amount of v-mails. But while the technology is predicted to make in-roads in one's mailbox, it will likely be a while before it becomes a favored tool of advertisers.

v-mail service may provide a mail service together with ______.

A．pictures and sound

B．letters and documents

C．an "I miss you" message

D．a "Happy Birthday" serenade

Part B

Directions: You will hear four dialogues or monologues. Before listening to each one, you will have 5 seconds to read each of the questions which accompany it. While listening, answer each question by choosing A, B, C or D. After listening, you will have 10 seconds to check your answer to each question. You will hear each piece ONLY ONCE.

听力原文： In this high-tech digital world, it is very convenient for us to send messages. But in ancient times, people had to think hard to find ways to get the message sent.

Roman soldiers in some places built long rows of signal towers. When they had a message to send, the soldiers shouted it from tower to tower. If there were enough towers and enough soldiers with loud voices, important news could be sent quickly over distance.

In Africa, people learned to send messages by beating on a series of large drums. Each drum was kept within hearing distance of the next one. The drum beats were sent out in a special way that all the drummers understood. Though the messages were simple, they could be sent at great speed for hundreds of miles.

In the eighteenth century, a French engineer found a new way to send short messages. In this way, a person held a flag in each hand and the arms were moved to various positions representing different letters of the alphabet. It was like spelling out words with flags and arms.

Over a long period of time, people sent messages by all these different ways. However, not until the telephone was invented in America in the nineteenth century could people send speech sounds over a great distance in just a few seconds.

According to this passage, which factor influenced the Roman way of communication most？

A．The amount of weapons.

B．The tower height.

C．The weather condition.

D．The voice volume.

you've saved for years7 The art of letter writing seems to be dying for many people as more and more of us are turning to our computers to send a quick email. You might think the United States is a country of serious internet users, but there are many people whose only on-line activity is sending and receiving email. In 1999, Americans sent 2.2 billion email messages compared to 293 million pieces of first class mail. People have become more and more dependent on email for quick communication. In addition to the quick communication that email gives us, many people are using instant messages to communicate. How does this work？ First you make a list of your on-line friends. When you go on-line, your computer tells you if the people whose names are on the list are on-line too. If they are, you can send them an instant message and have a real time chat. Teenagers especially love sending and receiving instant messages and they love going to chat rooms to talk to their internet friends. But when people send email and instant messages, they often don't give much thought to how they write. Many people use short forms and omit capital letters. They simply write the first thing that comes into their head, click and send it. Even though people are writing more, their writing is usually not something to keep and read again years later.

How many email messages did Americans send in 1999？

A．2.2 billion.

B．2.2 million

C．293 million.

D．293 billion.
