听力题 Students sitting the National College Entrance Exam are likely to see cell phone signals blocked inside exam sites this year to prevent cheating. While education authorities said they would use modern technology to tighten management of exam sites, the new regulation didn''t bother the majority of local exam takers. The new regulation, which was issued by the Ministry of Education, suggested cities—especially those with a track record of cheating scandals—equip exam sites with cell phone signal shielding facilities. It means handsets won''t work even if students have their phones on during the exam. "The city will follow the Ministry of Education''s instruction," said Wang Xin, a publicity official with the Shanghai Education Commission. "But exam site management details have yet to be worked out. Previously, students were only asked to switch off cell phones. However, people could switch their phones to vibration mode." In June, 18 students in Guizhou Province were disqualified from the exam after they attempted to seek help from teachers by sending exam questions via short message. A popular measure that exam organizers take is to install a microelectronic wave detector. An alarm sounds if a cell phone is found working in the classroom. Officials said it is impractical to simply ban handsets from exam rooms as students can hide them in many places or use other devices.

听力题 There are three groups of English learners: beginners, intermediate learners, and learners of special English. Beginners need to learn the basics of English. Students who have reached an intermediate level benefit from learning general English skills. But what about students who want to learn specialist English for their work or professional life? Most students, who fit into this third group have a clear idea about what they want to learn. A bank clerk, for example, wants to use this specialist vocabulary and technical terms of finance. But for teachers, deciding how to teach specialist English is not always so easy. For a start, the variety is enormous. Every field from air-line pilots to secretaries has its own vocabulary and technical terms. Teachers also need to have an up-to-date knowledge of that specialist language, and not many teachers are exposed to working environments outside the classroom. These issues have influenced the way specialist English is taught in schools. This type of course is usually known as English for Specific Purposes, or ESP and there are ESP courses for almost every area of professional and working life. In Britain, for example, there are courses which teach English for doctors, lawyers, reporters, travel agents and people working in the hotel industry. By far, the most popular ESP courses are for business English. There are three groups of English learners: beginners, intermediate learners, and learners of special English.

听力题 Nearly 400 years ago a young man traveled up to London. The young man had come on foot from Stradford-on-Avon, a small town on the Avon. He was poor, but he had confidence in his future, the future of a great actor. His name was William Shakespeare. He had not been in London very long before he noticed that play-goers all went to the theatre on horseback. "Here is an opportunity!" he thought,"There must be someone to take care of the horses when people are watching a play." So he began to do the job and he did it so well that people all liked him very much. Soon the actors found the young man a very promising actor and he was given an opportunity to play a part on the stage. From that time on, his name became known. But he was not content with the life of an actor. He took great interest in play-writing. The plays he wrote, popular in England of his own time and up to the present day, have shown him to be one of the greatest writers the world has ever produced. He is among those who are loved by the people in all time and in all lands. Nearly 400 years ago a young man traveled up to London.

听力题 If you judge by the number of people who go to see the games and by the number of those who actually play it, basketball is probably the most popular sport in the United States. It is mainly an indoor game, and the seasons extends from late fall, through the winter, to early spring. There are many professional teams, but for the most part basketball is a second sport. There is hardly a high school or college in the country that does not have its team and its loyal following of fans. In spring and summer, the most popular sport is baseball. During the warm weather you can see young men and boys playing this game in any part of the country. Radio and television bring the details of the big games to every comer of the land, and the activities of the professional teams are a topic of conversation for Americans everywhere. In the fall, the most popular sport is football. As you know, this is not the same kind of game that is so popular in other parts of the world. Like basketball and baseball, it is typically American, and those who have never seen it before have difficulty seeing any sense in it. But for most of the spectators, the game itself is not as important as the music, the cheering, and the festival spirit that go with it. On a cool, bright autumn afternoon, there is nothing so colorful and exciting as a football game.

听力题 An elderly woman yesterday made a legal claim against a department store because it had wrongly accused her of stealing a Christmas card, Ms. Doss White, 72 years old, is claiming $3000 damages from the store for wrongful arrest and false imprisonment. Ms. White visited the store while doing Christmas shopping, but did not buy anything. She was followed through the town by a store manager. He had been told that a customer saw her take a card and put it in her shopping bag. He stopped her at a bookstore as she was reading a book. Ms. White said, "This man, a total stranger, suddenly grasped my bag and asked if he could look in it". She was taken back to the store and shut in a small room in full view of shoppers for 20 minutes until the police arrived. At the police station she was body-searched and nothing was found. Her lawyer said that the department store sent an insincere apology and they insisted that she may have been stealing. The hearing continues today.

听力题 When a sleepy driver has trouble in keeping his eyes on the road and gets too close to another car, an alarm sound will warn the driver. If nothing is done, the car will automatically come to a stop and in this way prevent an accident. This is a new device which will soon be tested in an experimental car in Japan. The computer warning system keeps track of a driver’s condition by monitoring his heartbeat with signals transmitted from a band round his wrist. The wristband records the driver’s pulse which measures the heart beat. Each pulse in the wrist sends a signal to the computer. By analyzing the pulse rate, the computer can determine whether a driver is drunk, sleeping or ill. Devices in other parts of the car can also tell the computer if the car is too close to another vehicle or is moving dangerously. The computer will sound the alarm when a problem arises, and will automatically stop the car if the driver ignores the warning.
