W: Oh, hello, Mr. Burns. This is Susan Thompson speaking. I'm glad you ring back so soon. There's a serious problem, I'm afraid. You know that order for 500 cases of Top Whiskey we put recently？
M: Oh, yes. I saw to it myself. What's the problem？ Hasn't it arrived？
W: Well, in a way, but it's stuck at the customs. There's something wrong with the declaration, it seems. Some kind of omission or error.
M: Oh, really？ That's strange. Do you know what it is？
W: Well, I only heard that some of the details were incomplete and the customs can't let the consignment through.
M: Ms. Thompson, I'll tell you what I'll do. Our forwarding agents are handling this delivery and they're generally very reliable. Er, let me just get on to them.
W: Yes, if you would. And can you let me know as soon as possible when I can have the Whiskey？ Time's rather short and our customers are waiting for the wine, you know.
M: Of course. I'll see to it, Ms. Thompson, and if at all possible, you'll get a call today.
W: Well, getting the delivery today would suit me better. Oh, one other thing, I'm out of the office after 12 o'clock. If you call me after this time, would you leave a message with our switchboard operator？ I'll tell her to expect your call.

Part B (10 points)
You are going to read a text about The Big Melt, followed by a list of examples. Choose the best example from the list for each numbered subheading. There is one extra example which you do not need to use.
Say goodbye to the world's tropical glaciers and ice caps. Many will vanish within 20 years. When Lonnie Thompson visited Peru's Quelccaya ice cap in 1977, he couldn't help noticing a school-bus-size boulder that was upended by ice pushing against it. Thompson returned to the same spot last year, and the boulder was still there, but it was lying on its side. The ice that once supported the massive rock had retreated far into the distance, leaving behind a giant lake as it melted away.
Foe Thompson, a geologist with Ohio State University's Byrd Polar Research Center, the rolled-back rock was an obvious sign of climate change in the Andes Mountains. "Observing that over 25 years personally really brings it home", he says. "You don't have to be a believer in global warming to see what's happening."
(41) Thawed ice caps in the tropics.
Quelccaya is the largest ice cap in the tropics, but it isn't the only one that is melting, according to decades of research by Thompson's team. No tropical glaciers are currently known to be advancing, and Thompson predicts that many mountaintops will be completely melted within the next 20 years.
(42) Situation in areas other than the tropics.
The phenomenon isn't confined to the tropics. Glaciers in Europe, Russia, new Zealand, the United States, and elsewhere are also melting.
(43) The worsening effects of global warming.
For many scientists, the widespread melt-down is a clear sign that humans are affecting glottal climate, primarily by raising the levels of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases in the atmosphere.
(44) Receding ice caps.
That's not to say that glaciers, currently found on every continent except Australia, haven't melted in the past as a result of natural variability. These rivers of ice exist in a delicate balance between inputs (accumulating snow and ice) and outputs (melting and "calving" of large chunks of ice). Over time, the balance can tilt in either direction, causing glaciers to advance or retreat. What's different now is the speed at which the scales have tipped. "We've been surprised at how rapid the rate of retreat has been", says Thompson. His team began mapping one of the main glaciers flowing out of the Quelccaya ice cap in 1978, using satellite images and ground surveys.
(45) Thinning ice cores.
And it's not just the margin of the ice cap that is melting. At Quelccaya and Mount Kilimanjaro, the researchers have found that the ice fields are thinning as well. Besides mapping ice caps and glaciers, Thompson and his colleagues have taken core samples from Quelccaya since 1976, when the ice at the drilling location was 154 meters thick.
Thompson and his colleagues have also drilled ice cores from other locations in South America, Africa, and China. Trapped within each of these cores is a climate record spanning more than 8,000 years. It shows that the past 50 years are the warmest in history.
The 4-inch-thick ice cores are now stored in freezers at Ohio State. On the future, says Thompson, that may be the only place to see what's left of the glaciers of Africa and Peru.
A. The latest report from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, prepared by hundreds of scientists and approved by government delegates from more than 100 nations, states: "There is new and stronger evidence that most of the warming observed over the last 50 years is attributable to human activities". The report, released in January, says that the planet's average surface temperature increased by about 0.6℃ during the 20th
SECTION A CONVERSATIONS
Directions: In this section you will hear several conversations. Listen to the conversations carefully and then answer the questions that follow.
听力原文：Mrs. Daniels: Oh, hello, you must be Tracey's parents？
Mr. Thompson: Er, yes. Are you her class teacher, Mrs. Daniels？
Mrs. Daniels: Yes, that's right. Now, just let me find my notes. (1[D])As you know I don't actually teach Tracey, but I do see her every day before classes begin. Is there anything you want to ask me？
Mr. Thompson: Well, yes. To be honest, we're a bit worried about her last report—she doesn't seem to be doing as well as she was.
Mrs. Daniels: Well now, let's see. Oh, yes, her math teacher says she's finding the work more difficult now that they're getting near to the exams.
Mr. Thompson: I was never good at math.
Mrs. Daniels: And Dr. Baker feels that Tracey isn't concentrating very hard in biology lessons.
Mr. Thompson: Oh, but she really likes biology and she's so good at drawing.
Mrs. Daniels: Yes, but even in art her teacher thinks she tends to spend too much time talking to her friends. In fact, several of her teachers have told me that she isn't giving in her homework: (2[C])Mr. Brock has complained to me that he hasn't had a single piece of geography homework from her all term.
Mr. Thompson: Yes, we don't know what to do about it. She doesn't seem to be interested in school any more.
Mrs. Daniels: I don't think we should give up on her. Tracey's a very intelligent girl. In English her marks are well above the average and her teacher says she always has a lot to say in lessons.
Mr. Thompson: Yes, that's part of Tracey's trouble. She talks too much.
Mrs. Daniels: Well, nevertheless oral skills are very important and if we can all guide her back to a more positive attitude to school work, she'll do very well.
Mr. Thompson: Well, I hope so. I'm very disappointed in her. She was doing so well, especially in English and French, and now everything seems to be going to pieces. She came bottom of the class in French this term.
Mrs. Daniels: Well, it's not because she can't do French she just prefers to that in English! At least she's doing well in sport. She's in the hockey team and you know we haven't lost a single match this year!
Mr. Thompson: Well, it's nice to know she does something well.
Mrs. Daniels: Oh, come on, Mr. Thompson, (3[A])let's look on the bright side.
What does Mrs. Daniels teach？
A．She teaches Tracey English.
B．She teaches Tracey math.
C．She teaches Tracey art.
D．She doesn't teach Tracey.
