- W： Sure。 It’s actually the most impressive one I’ve seen on that topic。

D.They like doing scientific exploration very much.
What basically makes news is what affects our lives-the big political stories, the coverage of the wars, earthquakes and other disasters, will continue much the same. I think there will be more coverage of scientific research, though. It's already happening in areas that may directly affect our lives, like genetic engineering. In the future, I think there will be more coverage of scientific explanations of why we feel as we do-as we develop a better understanding of how the brain operates and what our feelings really are.
It's quite possible that in the next century newspapers will be transmitted electronically from Fleet Street and printed out in our own home. In fact, I'm pretty sure that is how it will happen in the future. You will probably be able to choose from a menu; making up your own newspaper by picking out the things you want to read.
I think people have got it wrong when they talk about the competition between the different media. They actually feed off each other. Some people once foresaw that television would kill off newspapers, but that hasn't happened. What is read on the printed page lasts longer than pictures on a screen or sound lost in the air. And as for the Internet, it's never really pleasant to read something just on a screen.

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：M: Have you ever read anything about pseudo sciences？
W: You mean fake sciences？ Yes. In fact I was just reading some articles about the brain. I have been looking through some of my roommate's science magazines and I came across an article on phrenology.
M: Phrenology, wasn't that the pseudo science founded-by the scientist Franz Gall？
W: Yes. Gall maintained that people's characters could be determined by the size and the shape of their skulls. For example he though that a pump in a certain place on the head means that the person had the ability of a musician.
M: Really？ I wonder what phrenologists would say about the bumps on my head. Would they say I have the abilities to be a doctor, or a plumber, or a thief.
W: Well, I'm not sure exactly what the connection is between a person's abilities and the physical characteristics of the head. But although there's no scientific basis for phrenology, it is true that the head is the center of control for the rest of the body.
M: I guess you are right. Scientists now know that different parts of the brain control different parts of the body.
W: Yes. And I wouldn't be surprised that the scientists one day discover that certain aspect of phrenology has scientific applications.
What is the source of the woman's information？
A．A professor's lecture.
B．A magazine article.
C．A television program.
D．A doctor's report.
听力原文：M: Did you know that astronauts have made commercial products in space？
W: No, I wasn't aware of that. What kind of products？
M: Tiny plastic beads with a little hole through it.
W: Tiny balls？ Do you mean to tell me that astronauts have nothing better to do than make jewelry beads in space？ It seems to me they could make more useful things out there.
M: Oh, but these little balls aren't for jewelry. They can be used for scientific purposes to conduct cancer research .
W: That sounds better, but why make such objects in space rather than on earth？
M: Because earth gravitational pull affects the beads. They produced on earth are distorted, not exactly tumid. The ones made in space are precisely round.
W: Sounds reasonable.
(23)
A．Astronauts' clothing.
B．Products made in space.
C．Costume jewelry.
D．Problems in manufacturing.
听力原文：M: Mind if I switch channels？ Those TV commercials are killing me.
W: How can you say that？ Watch: "Take Toshiba, take the world." Fantastic! There's a product you can depend on. A powerful product.
M: If I were you, I wouldn't trust those commercials.
W: Now, look at this McDonald's commercial! Aren't those little kids cute？ Oh, and there's such a warm family feeling.
M: Just how an advertising agency wants you to see McDonald's. You're the target audience. When they make TV commercials, they use scientific methods to learn what you'll like and buy.
W: Are you telling me those darling little children biting into Big Macs are part of a scientific project to get me into McDonald's？
M: Advertisers don't bother with facts any more. Instead they want the end-user, that's you, to fall in love with their product.
W: I see. So what you're saying is," Watch out, or commercials will take over your life."
M: Yes, just wake up. Many competitors are spending piles of money to increase their market shares, bur only can celing out each other's efforts and neither would win. What's more, the extra costs of advertising will certainly be passed on to the customers.
W: But anyway the advertising will produce a good image of a product and that leads to consumer brand loyalty. That's to say, consumers are loyal to a certain product and keep buying it and they're willing to pay more.
M: That's the problem. More advertising means higher costs to the consumer. so in the end the winner is always the company, not the customer.
(20)
A．Advantages of TV shopping.
B．Their favorite TV channels.
C．Beware of advertising on TV.
D．Popularity of advertised products.

W: Beads？ Do you mean to tell me that astronauts have nothing better to do than make jewelry beads in space？ It seems to me that they can make more useful things out there.
M: Oh ! But these plastic beads aren't for jewelry. They can be used for many scientific purposes, from conducting cancer research to calibrating microscopes.
W: That sounds better. But why make such objects in space rather than on earth？
M: Because earth’s gravitational pull affects the beads. The beads produces on earth are distorted not exactly round. The ones made in space are precise spheres.
What are the speakers mainly discussing？
A．Astronauts' clothing.
B．Products made in space.
C．Costume jewelry.
D．Problems in manufacturing.
__________
[A] German-born British scholar Max Müller concluded that the Rig-Veda of ancient India-the oldest preserved body of literature written in an Indo-European language-reflected the earliest stages of an Indo-European mythology. M ller attributed all later myths to misunderstandings that arose from the picturesque terms in which early peoples described natural phenomena.
[B] The myth and ritual theory, as this approach came to be called, was developed most fully by British scholar Jane Ellen Harrison. Using insight gained from the work of French sociologist Emile Durkheim, Harrison argued that all myths have their origin in collective rituals of a society.
[C] Austrian psychoanalyst Sigmund Freud held that myths—like dreams—condense the material of experience and represent it in symbols.
[D] This approach can be seen in the work of British anthropologist Edward Burnett Tylor. In Primitive Culture (1871), Tylor organized the religious and philosophical development of humanity into separate and distinct evolutionary stages.
[E] The studies made in this period were consolidated in the work of German scholar Christian Gottolob Heyne, who was the first scholar to use the Latin term myths (instead of fibula, meaning “fable”) to refer to the tales of heroes and gods.
[F] German scholar Karl Otfried M ller followed this line of inquiry in his Prolegomena to a Scientific Mythology, 1825).
