听力原文： Those who had seen the film at previous sessions are divided into groups studying the elements of a petroleum-free community: food, water, shelter, health and medicine, and alternate energy sources. The energy group, which includes two solar equipment installers and a re- tired engineer/physicist, will study existing alternative energy sources and determine which are possible here. Also on the list are alternate-fuel transit systems, energy waste and conservation potential, and the offerings of at least two bio-diesel suppliers. The shelter group is considering such alternate building styles and how much of the needed material can be produced locally. Group members want to know how many people will need housing in the future and how to develop new housing without jeopardizing agricultural land. Opportunities for making existing housing more energy efficient and building shared-housing communities are also on the list. The health and medicine group is looking at incorporating alternative heating systems in the incoming hospital, social service networks, local cultivation of medicinal plants, and legal obstacles to alternative medical approaches.

The water group wants to know the amount needed for a family of four and the possibility of salvaging more of the rainy season's abundance.

What does this passage mainly discuss？

A．The sixth installment of the Harry Potter series.

B．The character of Harry Potter.

Directions: In this section you will hear everything ONCE ONLY. Listen carefully and then answer the questions that follow. At the end of each news item, you will be given 10 seconds to answer the questions.

听力原文： Sept. 16 (Bloomberg) --Three years after the Sept. 11 attacks in the U. S. , two breaches of security in two days at London's Buckingham Palace and the Houses of Parliament prompted calls for increased measures to protect the U. K. capital.

Five protesters yesterday entered the main chamber of the House of Commons as legislators held a debate and on Tuesday a man scaled the walls of Buckingham Palace. The U. K. , which hasn't suffered a devastating terrorist attack since 29 people died in the Real IRA's August t998 Omagh bombing, is among countries that should revise their approach to security, a study commissioned by the European Union said yesterday.

While Britain has made progress, the incidents "highlight complacency and show that we still have a long way to go," said Sandra Bell, head of homeland security at the Royal United Services Institute, which analyzes security and defense issues. The U. K. needs to work on the "tools and technology" it uses to fight terrorism, she said in a telephone interview.

What made the British government think about strengthening security measures？

A．Some incidents had demonstrated its security problem.

B．The Royal family found it necessary to do so.

C．The House of Parliament proposed to do so.

D．The European Union suggested it doing so.

听力原文： Americans suffer from an overdose of work. Regardless of who they are or what they do, Americans spend more time at work than at any time since World War Ⅱ. In 1950, the US had fewer working hours than any other industrialized country. Today it exceeds every country but Japan, where industrial employees log 2,155 hours a year, compared with 1, 951 in the US, and 1,603 in the former West Germany. Between 1969 and 1989 employed Americans added an average of 138 hours to their yearly work schedules. The work week has remained at about 40 hours, but people are working more weeks each year. Specifically, pay time off holidays, vacations, sick leave shrank by 50% in the 1980's. As corporations have experienced stiff competition and slower growth productivity, they have pressed employees to work longer. Cost cutting lay-offs in the 1980's reduced the professional and managerial ranks leaving fewer people to get the job done. In lower paid occupations,, when wages have been reduced, workers have added hours in overtime or extra jobs to preserve their living standards. The government estimates that more than 7 million people hold a second job. For the first time, large numbers of people say they want to cut back on working hours even if it means earning less money. But most employers are unwilling to let them do so. The government, which has stepped back from its traditional role as a regulator？ of work time should take steps to make shorter hours possible.

A．Germany.

听力原文： There are a number of important novelists from America in this century, but Phil

lip K. Dick is certainly one of the most interesting. Dick was born in 1899, and received his education at NYU. His novels were about the post-war American society. His descriptive style. is very much caught up in the rhythms of black music.

In 1922, Dick published his first book. He also married, in the same year, a woman named Jane Bobb. She was also a writer. The appearance of his most famous novel was in 1925. It was called The High Tower.

Although it was true that Dick had a natural talent for writing, he was also a compulsive drinker. Though a brilliant success in his youth, he never made the necessary adjustments for a maturing writer in an ever changing world. His later writings, Bladerunner, Killing Time, and The End Game, were less successful, so much that when he died in 1942 most of his books were no longer being printed and most people had forgotten about him.

His reputation in modern times is far greater than it was even during the time he was alive. This has been especially true since the film version of his famous novel The High Tower was, released.

We know about the. novels of Dick that ______.

A．His writing was influenced by black music

B．He described the Southern United States

C．His writings were about war

D．He wrote stream-of-consciousness style
