听力原文： Today, cigarette smoking is a widespread habit. About forty-three percent of the adult men and thirty-one percent of the adult women in the United States smoke cigarettes regularly. It is encouraging to note, however, that millions of people have given up the smoking habit. Seventy- five percent of the male population and forty-six percent of the female population have smoked cigarettes at some time during their lives, but twenty-six percent of these men and eleven percent of the women have stopped smoking. The number of people who have given up smoking is increasing.

Men as a group smoke more than women. Among both men and women, the age group with the highest proportion of smokers is the age group 24-44.

Income, education, and occupation all play a part in determining a person's smoking habits. City people smoke more than people living on farms. Well-educated men with high incomes are less likely to smoke cigarettes than men with fewer years of schooling and lower incomes. On the other hand, if a well-educated man with a higher income smokes at all, he is likely to smoke more packs of cigarettes per day.

The situation is somewhat different for women. There are slightly more smokers among women with higher family incomes and higher education than among the lower-income and lower-education groups. These more highly educated women tend to smoke more heavily.

Among teenagers, the picture is similar. There are fewer teenaged smokers from upper-income, well-educated families, and fewer from families living in farm areas. High school students who are preparing for college are less likely to smoke than those who do not plan to continue their education after high school. Children are most likely to start smoking if one or both of their parents smoke.

(27)

A．Well-educated men with high incomes are generally less likely to smoke.

B．City people are less likely to smoke.

C．People in rural areas are more likely to smoke.

D．Men with higher incomes tend to smoke fewer packs per day.

听力原文： Until the twentieth century cigarettes were not an important threat to public health. Since the cigarette industry began in the 1870s, however, the cigarette-manufacturing machine has developed rapidly. This made it possible to produce great numbers of cigarettes very quickly, and it reduced the price.

Today cigarette smoking is a widespread habit. About forty-three percent of the men and thirty-one percent of the adult women in the United States smoke cigarettes regularly. It is encouraging to note, however, that millions of people have given up the smoking habit.

Income, education, and occupation all play a part in determining a person's smoking habits. City people smoke more than people living on farms. Well-educated men with high income are less likely to smoke cigarettes than men with few years of schooling and lower incomes. On the other hand, if a well-educated man with a high income smokes at all, he is likely to smoke more packs of cigarettes per day. The situation is somewhat different for women. There are slightly more smokers among women with higher family income and higher education than among the lower in- come and lower education groups.These more highly educated women tend to smoke more heavily.

(27)

A．The great number of people engaged in cigarette producing.

B．The rapid development of cigarette-making machine.

听力原文： Women are more likely than men to keep joint possessions when getting divorced, according to research.

Men on average wanted their ex-wives to keep 19 items from a list of 24 including the home, photographs and pets, while women wanted the men to get just eight. While women did not particularly want items including the television, CDs, DVDs, and toaster, they were keen their ex-husbands did not get them.

3,515 people were polled in May and June. The investigation found men were keen for their ex-wives to keep items including the bed, television, wedding album, lawnmower and garden accessories, house plants, coffee machine and the family pet.

One item that men were determined to keep for themselves was the house — 32% wanted to keep it to their own, compared with 30% who were happy to hand it over to their ex-wives.

The men also wanted the ear, the laptop computer, digital camera and CD and DVD collections.

Half of the women wanted the family home outright, but even more — 64% — wanted the dog or cat. They were happy for their former husband to keep the bed, sofa, lawnmower, coffee machine, laptop, digital camera, PlayStation and any wines and drinks they had.

Ultimately 46% of women did keep the house, compared with 29% of men, with other couples selling.

(27)

A．The couple will sell out all their joint possessions.

B．Women will be more likely to get the possessions of the family.

C．Men will have more control over family business.

听力原文： Women often used the term "secondary handicapped" to describe short men in the past. Nowadays, this wording has long been out of use. Research done by Peking University has proved that between 1985 and 2000, Chinese women have become more and more practical in choosing their partners. The height and appearance of men are seldom mentioned. A sample investigation made by people including Qian Mingyi, psychology professor and director of doctoral candidates on the advertisements for partners in the magazine "Women of China" from 1985 to 2000 shows that in terms of physiological conditions, age, which was number 1 in 1985 and 1995, is an important criterion for women in choosing their partners. However, women have been less strict about men's height year by year and their requirements on their appearance to the 10th place. Women now care more about the person al, social and economic conditions of men. However, women have always valued the health of their partners and this has not changed much during the 15 years.

In terms of social and economic conditions, during the 15 years, the rate of mention women's requirements on the job and educational experience of their partners has been failing, but the requirement on career rose from the 9th place in 1985 to second place by the end of 1990s. The changes of criteria on partners are a reflection of the political, economic and cultural changes in society. According to experts' analyses, in early 1980s, educational experience and job represented the income level of an individual, while in late 1990s, with diversified channels of income and increasingly frequent occupational differentiation, educational experience and job could not directly indicate one's income. Comparatively, the elements of career, social and economic status are more relevant. Men with high achievement in terms of career are more attractive to women and quality of life after marriage can be better ensured.

(27)

A．vertically handicapped.

B．short.

C．secondary handicapped.

D．height challenged.

听力原文： According to a Justice Department report released in July 2003, the U.S. prison population surpassed 2 million for the first time—2,166,260 people were incarcerated in prisons or jails at the end of 2002(the latest statistics available). Since 1990, the U.S. prison population, already the world's largest, has almost doubled.

About two-thirds of prisoners were in state and federal prisons, while the rest were in local jails. The report does not count all juvenile offenders, but noted that there were more than 10, 000 inmates under age 18 held in adult prisons and jails in 2002. The number of women in federal and state prisons reached 97,491. About 10.4% of the entire African-American male population in the United States aged 25 to 29 was incarcerated, by far the largest racial or ethnic group—by comparison, 2.4% of Hispanic men and 1.2% of white men in that same age group were incarcerated. According to a report by the Justice Policy Institute in 2002, the number of black men in prison has grown to five times the rate it was twenty years ago. Today, more African- American men are in jail than in college. In 2000 there were 791,600 black men in prison and 603,032 enrolled in college. In 1980, there were 143,000 black men in prison and 463,700 enrolled in college.

(27)

A．It has dropped in numbers.

B．It has tripled.

C．It has doubled.

D．It has become mostly Hispanic.

听力原文： How men first learnt to invent words is unknown. All we really know is that men, unlike animals, somehow use certain sounds to express thoughts and feelings, actions and things, So that they could communicate with each other; and that later they agreed upon certain signs, called letters, which could be combined to represent th6se sounds, and which could be written down. Those sounds, whether spoken or written in letters we call words.

The power of words, then lies in their associations with the things they bring up before our minds. Words become filled with meaning for us by experience; and the more certain words recall to us the more glad or sad events of our past arc; and the more we read and learn, the more the number of words that means something to us increases.

Great writers are those who not only have great thoughts but also express these thoughts in words which appeal powerfully to our minds and emotions. This charming and telling use of words is what we call literary style. Above all, the real poet is a master of words. He can convey his meaning in words which sing like music and which by their position and association can move men to tears. We should therefore learn to choose our words carefully and use them accurately.

(27)

A．It's a problem not yet solved.

B．It's a question difficult to answer.

C．It's a matter that is hidden or secret.

D．It's a legend handed down from the past.

Today, skirt length varies from floor-length to ten inches above the knee. Women's shoes have also gone through all sorts of changes in the last ninety years. For example, boots for women were very common around the turn of the 20th century. Then, for years, they were not considered fashionable. Today they are back in style. a gain in all colors, lengths, and materials. In fact, today's women can wear all sorts of clothes, even slacks and shorts, on almost any occasion.

In fact, most men still wear the traditional suit though bright colors and varieties in cut are now more common.

听力原文： Darwin was a great scientist. He studied living things in the world.

He said, "There are thousands of living things. But in the past, the number was smaller. In the far past, a still smaller number. In the beginning perhaps only one."

Darwin waited a long time before he put these things in to a book. He always tried to add more and more facts: he wanted his ideas about evolution to be right.

It took him many years to write the book. On the first day, people bought every copy. The men of the churches fought against Darwin's ideas. His story of the world was different from theirs. So either Darwin or the men of the churches must be wrong. But the churches did not bring any new frets, or better ideas. They only brought angry words.

Later, Darwin wrote a book about the evolution of man. He said that man is also a kind of animal. And again, Dar win did not just write down his own ideas. He filled his book with facts. We know now that he was right. There have been men for more than a million years. We have found some of their bones. Bones have told us a lot about the evolution of living things.

Like any other animals, man slowly changed through time. But we cannot find the bones of man from a few mil lion years ago. There were not any men at that time. The world's animals were different then.

But the bones can take us backwards through time into the past. And they can help us with our study of the evolution of life.

(27)

A．Nothing but conjecture.

B．Studying hard.

C．Facts,

D．Wisdom.

听力原文： A wise man once said that the only thing necessary to win over evil is for good men to do nothing. So, as a police officer, I want to say some things to good people.

My job as a police officer is to impose responsibility on people who refuse, or have never learned to impose it on themselves. But as every policeman knows, external controls on people's behavior. are far less effective than internal restraints such as guilt, shame and embarrassment.

Yet, more and more, especially in our larger cities and suburbs, these inner restraints are loosening. Your typical robber has none. He considers your property his property; he takes what he wants, including your life.

The main cause of this break down is a change in attitudes. Thirty years ago, if a crime was committed, society was considered the victim. But now, it's the criminal who is considered victimized: by the school that didn't teach him to read, by the church that failed to reach him, by the parents who didn't provide a stable home.

I don't believe it. Many others in equally disadvantaged circumstances choose not to engage in criminal activities. If we free the criminal, even partly, from responsibility, we become a society of endless excuses where there is no one who accepts responsibility for anything.

We in America desperately need more people who believe that the person who commits a crime is the one responsible for it.

(27)

A．It's unnecessary for good people to do anything in face of evil.

B．It's certain that evil will prevail if good men do nothing about it.

C．It's only natural for virtue to defeat evil.

D．It's desirable for good men to keep away from evil.
