听力原文: A New Mexico church plans to bum Harry Potter books because they are "an abomina

tion to God," the church pastor said on Wednesday.

Pastor Jack Brock said he would have a "holy bonfire" on Sunday at the Christ Community Church in Alamogordo in southern New Mexico to torch books about the fictional teen-age wizard who is wildly popular with young people.

"These books encourage our youth to learn more about witches, warlocks, and sorcerers, and those things are an abomination to God and to me," Brock, 74, told Reuters.

"Harry Potter books are going to destroy the lives of many young people."

The books, written by British author J.K. Rowling, have been runaway bestsellers and a movie, "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone," is currently a blockbuster hit.

Brock, who said his Christmas Eve sermon was rifled "The Baby Jesus or Harry Potter," described the book burning as part of an effort to encourage Christians to remove everything from their homes that prevents them from communicating with God.

The books have come under fire in a few U.S communities for supposedly encouraging devilish thoughts among the young, but Rowling in an earlier statement issued by her publisher Bloomsbury called the criticisms absurd.

"I have met thousands of children now, and not even one time has a child come up to me and said, 'Ms. Rowling, I'm so glad I've read these books because now I want to be a witch'," she said.

The reasons why the church wanted to burn Harry Potter books didn't include that ______.

A.it believed that the books were an abhorrence to God

B.it believed that the books would weaken the communication with God

C.it believed that the existence of God had been confused by the book

D.it believed that the books would ruin the lives of many young people

听力原文: In Mexico, Yucatan State Governor Yvonne Ortega celebrated the selection of the Chichen Itza pyramid. Ortega said, "the Mayans brought luck to us, the people from Yucatan, but now we must take advantage of this with a great economic development for the country."

听力原文:In countless other ways, the people of the United States are indebted to the Mexi

听力原文: In countless other ways, the people of the United States are indebted to the Mexicans who once lived in the old Southwest. There were only 75 thousand of them when Mexico ceded the region to the United States, and these were scattered from the Gulf Coast in the east to the shores of the Pacific in the west. They had lived in the borderlands since 1598, more than twenty years before the Pilgrims sailed for the New World. In the course of more than 250 years, they had left their mark on the land. Many of the western states in the United States still bear the lovely lyrical names the Mexican settlers first wrote upon their maps. So do countless rivers and mountains, and thousands of cities and towns. Through trial and error, the rugged Mexicans had learned to survive and proper in the dry, half-desert land. When English-speaking people poured into the region, the Spanish-speaking people shared their knowledge with the new settlers, making things much easier fro them. Settlers in other parts of the United States did not have this advantage.

What does the map mean?

A.He wonders what happened to Sam.

B.He went to visit Sam' s class.

C.Sam' s class is half over.

D.Sam wants to drop the class.

听力原文:W: May I help you?

M: Yes, [22] my wife and I want to take a vacation this winter to some place warmer.

W: I understand. How much time do you have?

M: Only a week between Christmas and the New Year. That is the problem, you see.

W: Oh, no problem at all. I can get you on a flight to sunny Spain and Portugal leaving on Christmas and coming back New Year's Eve. And it will only cost you $500 a round trip.

M: Only $500? [23] We were thinking of something less. $1,000 is a lot to spend for such a short time. [23] If we had a month maybe, not just a week.

W: [24] Do you know about the Florida Fun tour the airline offers? Everything is reserved for you. Your flight, a reserved hotel room, meals, and they even get you to and from the airport in Miami.

M: Actually we don't go in much for arranged tours. We like to do all that for ourselves.

W: Well, in that case, maybe we could just arrange your flight and the rest to you.

M: What else do you have to offer? Florida is not exactly our idea of a great vacation. What about some place a little different where few tourists go?

W: Oh, some place like Arizona, right? [25] Or maybe New Mexico? Sunny, but quiet, relaxing.

M: Yeah, that sounds better—New Mexico. I'll talk to my wife about it and then return.

(23)

A.In a department store.

B.At a travel agency.

C.At an airport ticket counter.
