听力原文： "[26] Switching off the television may help prevent children from getting fatter, even if they do not change their diet or increase the amount they exercise," US researchers said last week.

A study of 192 third and fourth graders, generally aged eight and nine, found that children who cut the number of hours spent watching television gained nearly two pounds less over a one-year period than those who did not change their television diet. [27] The findings are important because they show that weight loss can only be the result of a reduction in television viewing and not any other activity. American children spend an average of more than four hours per day watching television and videos or playing video games, and rates of childhood being very fat have doubled over the past 20 years.

In the study, presented this week to the Pediatric Academic Societies' annual meeting in San Francisco, the researchers persuaded about l00 of the students to reduce their television viewing by one-quarter to one-third. Children watching fewer hours of television showed a significantly smaller increase in waist size and had less body fat than other students who continued their normal television viewing, even though neither group ate a special diet or took part in any extra exercise.

[28] One explanation for the weight loss could be the children unstuck to the television may simply have been moving around more and burning off calories. Another reason might be due to eating fewer meals in front of the television. Some studies have suggested that eating in front of the TV encourages people to eat more.

(27)

A．Children will get absent-minded if they play video games.

B．Children will get healthier if they change their diet.

C．Children will improve their grades if they stop watching TV.

D．Children will lose weight if they spend less time watching TV.

听力原文： Visitors to Britain may find the best place to approach local culture is in a traditional pub. The mysterious rituals of British pubs must be taken into consideration.

Most pubs have no waiters. You have to go to the bar to buy drinks. This may sound inconvenient, but there is a hidden purpose. Pub culture is designed to promote sociability in a society known for its reserve. Standing at the bar for service allows you to chat with others waiting to be served. The bar counter is possibly the only site in the British Isles in which conversation with strangers is considered entirely appropriate and really quite normal behavior.

"If you haven't been to a pub, you haven't been to Britain." This tip can be found in a booklet, Passport to the Pub: The Tourists' Guide to Pub Etiquette, a customers' code of conduct for those wanting to sample "a central part of British life and culture". The trouble is that if you do not follow the local rules, the experience may fall flat. For example, if you are in a big group, it is best if only one or two people go to buy the drinks. Nothing irritates the regular customers and the bar staff more than a gang of strangers blocking all access to the bar while they chat and hesitate about what to order.

(26)

A．Church.

B．Art museum.

C．Buckingham Palace.

D．Local pubs.

听力原文： When a person needs information on almost any topic, where does he or she look for it？ The most likely place is an encyclopedia. Today an encyclopedia is a set of books with articles and pictures. Encyclopedias may soon be available in full color and sound. Instead of going to the bookshelf for an answer to a question, a person may switch on the television set and key into a computer network. The information will then be instantly printed across the screen with music and sound effects, if appropriate. If the researcher is looking for information about baroque music, he or she will not only read information about the music, but will also hear an example of the music at the same time. Information about the canary bird will include the sound of its song. Sound is not the only advantage of storing encyclopedia information on computer tape. Information can be immediately updated. As events occur and information changes, the "computer encyclopedia" can add and change information.

"Our concept of the encyclopedia will change," said Kenneth Kister, author of the Encyclopedia Buying Guide."Encyclopedias will be released from the imprisonment of the printed word."

(26)

A．How to use an encyclopedia.

B．Encyclopedias in the future.

C．The function of a computer network.

D．Where to look for up-to-date information.

听力原文： On 26 May, 1928, at a meeting in Amsterdam, the FIFA (Federation Internationale de Football Association) congress decided that a new tournament open to all its members should be played. A year later in Barcelona it was agreed that Uruguay, the Olympic champions and the era's footballing superpower, should celebrate 100 years of independence by hosting the first World Cup the following year.

Only 13 nations took part in the inaugural touruament, with a majority of nine coming from South America. All games were played in three stadiums in Montevideo and, as expected, the South American countries dominated, although the European teams did not disgrace themselves.

Some 100,000 fans packed into the Centenario Stadium for the final on 30 July to see Argentina throw away a 2-1 half-time lead as Uruguay ran out 4-2 winners.

Jules Rimet, the FIFA president and brains behind the World Cup, presented the trophy to winning captain Jose Nazassi and football's greatest tournament was born.

After a pre-match row over which hall to use for the final, it is believed the Argentine ball was used in one half and the Uruguayan ball in the other. Rumor has it that this is how the phrase "a game of two halves" evolved.

When mid where was the first World Cup played？

A．1928 in Barcelona.

B．1929 in Uruguay.

C．1930 in Holland.

D．1931 in Brazil.

听力原文： In different parts of Britain, people call their meals by different names. It's very complicated. For most people the main meal of the day is called dinner. But some families eat this at mid-day, others eat it in the evening. People who have dinner in the evening have a smaller meal called lunch at mid-day, and people who have dinner at mid-day usually have another meal which they call tea between five and six, or they have supper a little later.

For most people, breakfast is a bowl of cereal followed by toast and jam with a cup of coffee or tea. Lunch is usually a very quick meal; most people have a sandwich or a light snack. Dinner may have two or three courses. First a starter, for example soup, then a main course with meat or fish and finally a dessert.

It is probably tree that British food does not have a very good reputation among people from overseas. In general, though, it has improved considerably in recent years.

(26)

A．Supper.

B．Lunch.

C．Breakfast.

D．Dinner.

听力原文： Why, you may wonder, should spiders be our friends？（26)Because they destroy so

听力原文： Why, you may wonder, should spiders be our friends？ (26)Because they destroy so many insects, and insects include some of the greatest enemies of the human race. Insects would make it impossible for us to live in the world; they would devour all our crops and kill our flocks and herds, if it were not for the protection we get from insect-eating animals. (27)We owe a lot to the birds and beasts which eat insects but all of them put together kill only a fraction of the number destroyed by spiders. Moreover, unlike some of the other insect eaters, (26)spiders never do the harm to us or our belongings.

Spiders are not insects, as many people think, nor even nearly related to them. One can tell the difference almost at a glance, (28)for a spider always has eight legs and insect never more than six.

How many spiders are engaged in this work in our behalf？ One authority on spiders made a census of the spiders in grass field in the south of England, and he estimated that there were more than 2 250 000 in one acre; that is something like 6 000 000 spiders of different kinds on a football pitcll. (29)Spiders are busy for at least half the year in killing insects. It is impossible to make more than the wildest guess at how many they kill, but they are hungry creatures, not content with only three meals a day. It has been estimated that the weight of all the insects destroyed by spiders in Britain in one year would be greater than the total weight of all the human beings in the country.

(33)

A．Because they are beneficial insects.

B．Because they destroy insects without hurting us in any way.

C．Because they protect insect-eating animals.

D．Because they include some of the greatest enemies of the human race.
