问答题【听力原文】 Good afternoon, folks! Today's topic is try jogging for fitness. When we run for fitness, exercise and pleasure, it is commonly called jogging. Jogging has become very popular in recent years. The popularity of jogging today stems from several factors. First, jogging is one of the most efficient forms of exercise. As a rule, a person jogging burns up more calories per minute than in most other sports. Running, like biking, swimming, and brisk walking, is an aerobic exercise. Such an exercise uses a great deal of oxygen. In addition, it increases the heart rate. Aerobic exercise strengthens the heart muscle so that it pumps more efficiently. This kind of exercise is also one of the best ways to improve our general health and capacity of our lungs. Jogging is also popular because almost every oneof us can take part. Jogging is an activity that doesn't require any unusual skills or special coordination. Jogging is relaxing and fun. Finally, it can be done alone, with another person or in a group. For anyone who runs more than 20 miles a week, it is important to have good running shoes. Tennis shoes or sneakers won't do. Running produces stress that is three times greater than the stress of walking. With this added stress to our feet and legs, we need good shoes. The shoes should be replaced when they are worn out or worn unevenly. Cold weather poses a few problems for us joggers. The main hazard in winter-running is slipping on ice or snow. There is no danger of freezing our lungs, because our body warms the air before it reaches our lungs. In winter, we should be sure to cover the head and keep our feet as dry and warm as possible. It's best to wear layers of clothing. In summer, we must be careful not to dry out. So it is important for us to drink plenty of water on hot, humid days. The best summer wear is loose-fitting and light-colored.

问答题The task of writing a history of our nation from Rome's earliest days fills me, I confess, with some misgivings and even were I confident in the value of my work, I should hesitate to say so. I am aware that for historians to make extravagant claims is, and always has been, all too common: Every writer on history tends to look down his nose at his less cultivated predecessors, happily persuaded that he will better them in point of style, or bring new facts to light. Countless others have written on this theme and it may be that I shall pass unnoticed amongst them; if so, I must comfort myself with the greatness and splendor of my rivals, whose work will rob my own of recognition. My task, moreover, is an immensely laborious one. I shall have to go back more than 700 years, and trace my story from its small beginnings up to these recent times when its ramifications are so vast that any adequate treatment is hardly possible. I shall find antiquity a rewarding study. If only, because while I am absorbed in it, I shall be able to turn my eyes from the troubles, which for so long have tormented the modern world, and to write without any of that over anxious consideration, which may well plague a writer in contemporary life, even if it does not lead him to conceal the truth.

问答题For years I have been mercilessly lampooned by friends and acquaintances alike for my unorthodox lifestyle choice of having no TV. In an age of increasingly large plasma flat-screens and surround sound, digital home entertainment systems which accost you the minute you walk into someone’s house, people regularly look at me like I’m either severely handicapped or chronically hard done by when I mention that I have no television. I can see the mixture of genuine pity, raw pathos and sheer disbelief in their faces as they stare at me open-mouthed. 　　To be sure, television is a great invention, if handled in moderation. The composite etymological derivation (from the Greek and the Latin words – literally meaning “to see from afar”) tells of a tremendous technological feat which certainly deserves to be applauded. What’s more, if one is discerning, it can be the source of some quality entertainment, instruction and enjoyment. Some of the nature documentaries and arts programmes on BBC 2 are truly fantastic and are well worth the license fee alone. 　　But the sad reality is that young people are rarely discerning and, by dint of poor time management skills, often end up wasting an inordinate amount of precious, never-returning time watching trash, their brains wallowing in a trough of mental lethargy.

问答题中国正处在经济的高速发展时期，从现在开始的未来20年内，中国将全面建设小康社会，人民的生活质量不断提高。上海正在为建成国际经济、金融、贸易、航运中心之一的目标而努力，未来上海将以结构调整、功能提升和布局优化为着眼点，大踏步向建设世界城市的战略设想迈进。上海拥有优越的地理位置、完善的基础设施、独特的文化和较高的消费水平，并以长江三角洲地区为依托，已经成为中国目前最大的旅游市场之一。2001年，上海接待国际游客204万人次，接待国内游客8254万人次，上海发展超大型主题公园的时机已经成熟。

问答题 日本留学生在上海 一个晴朗的秋日，广冈小姐踏上了来中国留学的征途。对她来说，中国是个神秘的国度，这使她一路上产生了无穷的遐想，也产生了把在中国的所见所闻诉诸笔端的愿望。在不到一年的时间里，她先后有15篇短文在日本《朝日新闻》上发表，这对于一个专修音乐的外国学生来说委实是一件不简单的事情。 两国在物质、文化上的差异，使她很容易注意到人们忽视了的东西。初到上海，有一件事就引起了她的兴趣：同样是一张面皮包着肉，为何又有“饺子”、“馄饨”两种截然不同的叫法?经过一番研究她搞懂了，饺子肉多，皮厚，馄饨肉少，皮薄；馄饨有汤，饺子则无；南方人爱吃馄饨，北方人喜食饺子。最使她高兴的是她的“研究成果”能让那些对此迷惑不解的日本人顿释疑团。可有一点她至今仍不明白：为什么上海有许多商店售货员、饭店服务员和本地居民都不说普通话。对此，她不无抱怨地说，“我现在才知道原来我学的中国话只是北京话。” 在中国的日子长了，自然而然地结识了许多朋友，每一个朋友都对她说：“你有什么事需要帮助，尽管说好了。”她认为这不是日本人通常出于礼仪上的需要才说的话，而是每一个中国朋友出自内心的意愿。 她深深地爱上了这片土地，这不仅因为上海这座国际大都市曾为她做媒，使她找到了心上人，更由于这里的人民让她感到是那么地亲近、友好。

问答题 "We changed South Korean politics and the media market, but I'm too shy to say that," says Oh Yeon Ho before he can catch his own irony. But Mr. Oh, the founder and boss of Ohmy News, a sort of online newspaper, has earned the right to boast, because Ohmy is the world's most successful example to date of "citizen journalism" in action. Ohmy's website currently gets an average of 700,000 visitors and 2m page views a day, which puts it in the same league as a large newspaper. But Ohmy has no reporters on its staff at all. Instead, it relies on amateurs—"citizens", as Mr. Oh prefers to call them—to contribute the articles, which are then edited by Mr. Oh, a former magazine journalist, and a few colleagues. Mr. Oh likes to think of Ohmy as a "playground" for South Korean hobbyists, where "adults" set certain rules and thus give the site credibility. The articles tend to be good, because "in South Korea we have good people power," says Mr. Oh. "They are highly educated and eager to change society." Ohmy also has built-in feedback and rating systems so that the best articles rise to the top. One of Ohmy's biggest innovations is economic. The site has a "tipjar" system that invites readers to reward good work with small donations. All they have to do is click a little tip-jar button to have their mobile-phone or credit-card account debited. One particularly good article produced the equivalent of $ 30,000 in just five days. Ohmy's own economics also appear to be working well. Even though Mr. Oh originally intended the company to be not-for-profit—"my aim was not to earn money but to create a new kind of journalism," he says—he turned it into a for-profit firm in 2003. He will not divulge how much profit he makes, but the advertising and syndication revenues (from other internet sites that run Ohmy's articles) seem to keep him going nicely. Ohmy's success has already had wide ramifications in South Korea's media industry. Although it has not killed off any South Korean newspapers or broadcasters, it has forced all of them to adjust by becoming more like Ohmy. Several newspaper sites, for instance, now have feedback and conversation panes at the bottom of online articles and are trying to interact more with readers. Mr. Oh, who left his career in the mainstream media because he was sick of what he saw as their conservative bias, also reckons that Ohmy has helped to improve the balance. If the media scales used to be tilted 80% in favor of conservatives, he thinks, Ohmy has reduced that to 60%; he wants to make it 50%. Does South Korea, a country of early adopters in many ways, foreshadow the future everywhere? "The reality is that you can't point to many successes; Ohmy News is the only one," says Dan Gillmor, a journalist who quit his job at the San Jose Mercury News, a newspaper widely read in Silicon Valley, in order to found Grassroots Media, an experiment in American citizen journalism. After a year or so of looking in vain for a good business model, Mr. Gillmor has put the idea on ice. But others are much more optimistic. Last year A1 Gore, a former American vice-president, and Joel Hyatt, his friend and business partner, set up Current TV, a cable-television channel that encourages its viewers to contribute their own video stories. And they do. "Viewer-created content"—or "VC2",as Current TV calls it—now accounts for 30% of the channel's airtime, and rising. Mr. Hyatt, the chief executive, thinks it will eventually be half or more. To help people get started, Current TV has extensive online tutorials on storytelling techniques, camera equipment and so forth. And to organize the content that comes in, its website allows users to vote on the quality of each video clip. It is, in many ways, a pure meritocracy. When Current TV was launched, the traditional cable channels "didn't get it" and sneered, Mr. Hyatt recalls with glee. "What people didn't understand is that there are tens of thousands of people out there who can create something great for a few minutes." For instance, a story by an American traveler who found himself in the Gaza Strip during Israel's pull-out was probably the best piece of video reporting on the subject that ran on television at the time. During Hurricane Katrina, some residents of New Orleans made excellent contributions by taking cameras onto their home-made boats and making videos of their own neighborhoods. For society as a whole, all this new talent—from bloggers, who are "journalists" in the classic sense, to citizen journalists—should amount to something overwhelmingly positive. "The more journalism the better; I don't care who does it," says Dan Gillmor. That is not, however, how professional journalists, ostensibly speaking on behalf of the public, usually choose to see it. Their mood is gloomy.

问答题The Stock Exchange While there are literally thousands of stocks, the ones bought and sold most actively are usually listed on the New York Stock Exchange(NYSE). This exchange dates back to 1792, when 24 New York City stockbrokers and merchants gathered under a buttonwood tree on Wall Street in Manhattan to make some rules about how buying and selling was to be done. Those rules, known as the Buttonwood Agreement, set in motion the NYSE"s unwavering commitment to investors and issuers. With a history of over 200 years, the NYSE has become the world"s largest financial market and the leading exchange in the United States. It is the place where America invests its money. Listed on the exchange are more than 3,000 enterprises, including approximately 450 operating companies from 50 different countries. The NYSE, housed in a large building on Wall Street, does the bulk of trading in listed securities. On the trading floor more than 2,200 common and preferred stocks are traded. The NYSE has more than 1,600 members, most of whom represent brokerage houses involved in buying and selling for the public. They buy "seats" on the exchange at considerable expense. They are paid commissions by the buyers and sellers for executing their orders. Almost half a million kilometers of telephone and telegraph wire link the NYSE with brokerage offices around the nation and across the globe. In addition to the NYSE, there are eight other exchanges around the country. The second largest is the American Stock Exchange, which also operates in the same Wall Street area, and in much the same way, but on a smaller scale. How are stocks bought and sold? Suppose a widow in California wants to go on an ocean cruise. To finance the trip she decides to sell 100 shares of her General Motors stock. The widow calls her stockbroker and directs him to sell at once at the best price. The same day an engineer in Florida decides to use the savings he has accumulated to buy 100 shares of General Motors stock. The engineer calls his broker and asks him to buy the stock at the current price. Both brokers wire their orders to the floor of the New York Stock Exchange. The two brokers, one representing the widow and the other the engineer, negotiate the transaction. One asks, "How much do I have to pay for a hundred shares of General Motors?" The highest bid is $65.25 and the least amount for which anyone has offered to sell is $65.75. Both want to get the best price. So they compromise and agree on a buy/sell at $65.50. The New York Stock Exchange itself neither buys nor sells stocks; it simply serves as a mechanism by which brokers buy and sell for their clients. Each transaction is carried out in public and the information is sent electronically to every brokerage office in the nation.

问答题 Questions 4～6 Same-sex couples Paul Katami (L), Jeff Zarillo (2nd L), and Kris Perry (2nd R) and Sandy Stier pose for photographs before the start of their trial in San Francisco, California January 11, 2010. California's ban on gay marriage goes to trial on Monday in a federal case that plaintiffs hope to take all the way to the US Supreme Court and overturn bans throughout the nation. Two Californian men challenging a ban on same-sex marriage on Monday said they had been a couple for nine years and felt like third-class citizens, leading them to launch the federal case which could set a national precedent. The men and a lesbian couple unable to marry in California hope to take their case against the state' s Proposition 8 ban on same-sex marriage all the way to the US Supreme Court and to overturn bans throughout the nation. A loss in the top court, two ranks above the action in the case which began on Monday, would seriously undermine efforts to win gay marriage rights in state courts. The United States is divided on same-sex marriage. It is legal in only five states, though most of those, and the District of Columbia, approved it last year. Approval of Prop 8 in November 2008 was a sweet victory for social conservatives in a state with a liberal, trend-setting reputation, and maintained the steady success they have scored on the issue at the ballot box. Where it is legal, gay marriage has been championed by courts and legislatures, not voters. "I don't think of myself as a bad person," said Paul Katami, describing the persecution he felt from a media campaign warning California parents to "protect" their children by voting against same-sex unions in the 2008 poll. He and his would-be husband, Jeffrey Zarrillo, described slights in gay life that ranged from being pelted with rocks and eggs in college to the awkwardness of checking into a hotel and not being able to clarify the relationship. "Being able to call him my husband is so definitive," Katami said. "There is no subtlety to it. It is absolute. " Gays and lesbians have nearly equal rights under domestic partnership laws, but the two men said that left them feeling second-or third-class citizens and they wanted to be married to have kids. "We hear a lot of 'What's the big deal?' The big deal is creating a separate category for us," Katami said. Gay rights lawyers in the case describe their battle as a continuation of the fight against racist laws stopping whites and blacks from marrying. Marriage is a fundamental constitutional right, and in addition gays and lesbians deserve special protection from discrimination, they say.
