听力题M: The Energy Minister announced at a press conference yesterday, the construction of three more nuclear power stations. These will form a vital part of the government''s energy plans for the next two decades and are needed to satisfy the country''s growing demands for electricity. The plans were strongly criticized by opposition MP''s as well as anti-nuclear and environmentalist groups. W: They must be absolutely mad. More nuclear power stations! M: OK. Jane. But we''ve got to get the energy from somewhere, haven''t we? We can''t just go on using oil and coal. W: Look. The main point is they''re just not safe. They''re a real menace. Every one of these things is an accident waiting to happen. Look at Chernobyl, for goodness'' sake! M: Yes, OK. I agree there''s a risk. Of course there is. But it''s minimal. With modem technology, nuclear reactors are much safer. W: Much safer! You must be joking. No. Look at all that radioactive waste they''re dumping into the sea and underground. Nobody really knows what''ll happen long-term. M: That is a problem. Sure. But it''s also true that nuclear energy is cheap and can produce electricity very quickly. Lots of countries have no alternatives. They don''t have any oil, coal or anything. What are they supposed to do? W: Oh, come on! There''re lots of possibilities. Well, quite a few. We just haven''t really looked at them seriously enough. There''s solar energy, and wind power and, what''s called, wave power. We''ve still got a lot of coal. W: Alright. But they''ll all take time and money to develop. We need energy now and nuclear power is the best alternative. M: Oh, I don''t believe this. I reckon it''s just crazy.

听力题M: Excuse me

听力题 "Sesame Street" has been called "the longest street in the world". That is because the TV program by that name can be seen in so many parts of the world. The program started in New York in 1969. In the United States, more than six million children watch the program regularly. Parents praise it highly. Many teachers consider it a great help. Tests have shown that children from different backgrounds have benefited from watching "Sesame Street". Those who watch it five times a week learn more than the occasional viewers.

听力题M: Have you made any plans to go away during the semester break? I''ve been thinking of skiing. W: I really haven''t had time to think about my vacation. I''ve been concentrating on getting ready for my exams, especially philosophy. But I''ll probably go to the beach. M: Why the beach? W: Well, it would be nice to get away from this cold weather and just lie in the sun and relax after working so hard. M: It''s true that skiing does require work and you have to get up early and wait in long lines at the chair lifts. Thanks! I think you''ve helped me make up my mind. W: Now maybe you can use your mind to think of something else, like your studies. M: Have you made any plans to go away during the semester break? I''ve been thinking of skiing.

听力题Do you have a tough math test coming up

听力题 The university was asking students to select summer social topics for projects to undertake. Ding Ling proposed the idea of accessing the AIDS town, and university officials approved the project. After contacting officials at the institution, Ding Ling got on the train for her hometown with fellow student Zhou Wang on July 20. On July 21, when the two girls finished breakfast in a small restaurant after they had just arrived at the town, the keeper told Ding in a low voice that the man who ate breakfast beside her was an AIDS patient, which surprised the two. AIDS was all around them. AIDS patients in their hometown live just as anyone else does. They do not stay in any one centralized place to receive treatment. If they need help, they go to the medical institution just like any other patient world. There are no divorce cases in the town because of HIV infections, and local residents do not discriminate the HIV carriers, the two girls said. The students said their most unforgettable day was July 16, when they had the lunch with a female AIDS patient whose husband knew of her illness before they were married. But her husband still resolutely loved her and took on the responsibility of looking after his wife. After the pair returned to school, many friends urged them to go to the hospital to check whether they had been infected or not. They just smiled, declining to be checked. HIV can only be spread by sexual contact or blood-to -blood contact. The biggest wish for Ding is to see an 8-year-old child, Huan Huan, who was infected by her mother, during upcoming Spring Festival. She hopes to bring the little girl some clothes and food, and to take along a camera to record happy moments in the lives of AIDS patients.

听力题 There are so many things going on in our modem lives, and change happens so quickly. It is hard to imagine a time when things were slower and you could really see a new thing come into your life and to remember the day or the year when those things happened. I know that today, for example, there are many instances of second and third generations of things, such as televisions or radios, when some of us were not even aware that there was a first generation. A friend of mine was born at the end of the last century, and talking to her, I really got a sense of her being a living history book, of being able to talk about the changes in her own life and to know that these changes were really the changes that society was going through. She gets really excited, for example, when she talks about the first time she ever saw a camera, and even more excited when she saw herself in the picture that the photographer took. She lived in a small town, and at the time that she was very young, there were no cars or trains in her town at all. As she grew up, cars and trains came in, and she remembers her first ride with a real sense of amazement that anyone could move so fast.

听力题 China has agreed to share 20 virus samples from poultry killed by bird flu, in an effort to help scientists trying to develop a vaccine, the WHO said. WHO officials in Beijing said Chinese authorities had granted WHO''s request for up to 20 live samples, which will be analyzed in international laboratories to improve understanding of the killer virus. The two sides are working out the logistics, including how to ship the samples and which lab they will go to. The shipment is "significantly larger" than the last one China provided, which consisted of five live viruses from poultry in 2004. WHO enjoyed good cooperation with China''s Ministry of Health, which has shared viruses from human cases, but confronted problems trying to convince the Ministry of Agriculture to share samples. Through negotiations, the two sides worked out an arrangement that will give the scientists due credit and involve them in subsequent research whenever possible. WHO officials expressed the hope that the agreement could open the way for more regular sharing of viruses, which is important to determine the different types of strains of the deadly bird flu virus that exist and how they affect humans differently. China has reported 34 outbreaks among poultry since the beginning of last year and 15 confirmed human cases of bird flu, resulting in 10 deaths. The virus has killed more than 100 people worldwide since 2003, mostly in Asia. It has spread from Asia to Europe and Africa in recent months.

听力题 He usually sat behind me in class but seldom talked. Perhaps he feared to make mistakes. His worry was not reasonable because he always spoke words of wisdom. One day, there he was leaning against a tree alone in front of my dormitory. Could he be waiting for me? I looked directly at him but he didn''t notice. My heart beat fast. Was he waiting for someone else? It was Wednesday. The professor asked him to distribute our homework. He called out each English name of my classmates and returned the assignment. The he came to my desk and held out my paper. He looked at me and when he said my name—my Chinese name—it sounded more beautiful than anyone else had ever pronounced it. For a time we took a firm hold of the paper. A force seemed to pass through the paper between us. That day he had a lot to say and so did I . All the world seemed sunny and magnificent. He hurriedly left the classroom when the bell rang. I hastened to follow him and at the doorway I froze. My notebook fell. He took my notebook and put it under his arm as he brushed my shoulder, pushing me slightly toward the outside door: "I know where you live. I will walk you home.
