M: Yeah, I know what you mean. It doesn't look like to me either.
W: I think I know, look here at the sky, it just seems to filled in with other colors of paining.
M: What do you mean? Everyone knows the sky is blue.
W: Well, that depends. Sometime it is and sometime it isn't, as sunset can be full of reds and purples. Well, even now, look at now Mark, what do you see?
M: It looks blue to me.
W: Look again. do you see a kind of tallish color?
M: Oh yeah, I see what you mean.
W: By adding some tan to your sky, I think you'll get more actual picture, and the color will look more natural.
M: I think I'll try that. Gee, how do you get to know so much about paining? Have you taken a lot of courses?
W: No, actually. But my father is an artist.
M: A professional artist?
W: Oh yeah. He shows his stophin lots of exhibits, everything is when we were kids; he always talks to us about his work.
M: I wish we could talk some more Judy. How about going for a cup of coffee? I'm ready for a break.
W: I'd love to. but I have to study for a history exam. In fact, I was just on my way to the study group, and I think I am already late. Maybe tomorrow?

36-39 listen to a conversation between two students. They are discussing material from US history class. 36-39,....stuff you missed...
pulled along by horses
M: Hey Teresa! thanks for agreeing to help me review all this history material.
W: No problem, Bob. So do you want to start with the stuff missed yesterday? They are part about urban problems in the colonial period?
M: Yeah, that'll be great.
W: Ok. Well, when the British were building cities in American colonies, they had to figure out how to make the cities run smoothly, right? Like...take traffic for instance.
M: Traffic? They had traffic that then?
W: Well, not the same kinds of traffic cities have today. Back in 18th centenary there were not any automobiles like there are now. But there were other vehicles like coaches and cars, you know, the kind had been pulled by horses say. Only few people could afford to have their own coaches then. but there were more and more public coaches. And cars, they were a big problem cause car driver usually overloaded their cars. And these oversize clumsy cars would slow down the traffic, and when you added to that all the farm animals.
M: Farm animals? In the cities?
W: Lots of them, cattle, pigs and other live stuck rolls in the streets. And they really caused trouble, although the pigs at least had good reasons for being their.
M: They did?
W: Yeah, the town's people used pigs to clean up the garbage that was thrown into the streets. But then the pig interfered with traffic.
M: So what do the colonists do?
W: Well, they passed traffic laws. Like one that said, if your animals were found wondering in the street, they could be seized. Of course people who owned pigs didn't want to keep them penned up because the pigs were so good at cleaning up the streets.
M: Sounds like a good idea letting them clean up the garbage. But I cannot see how pigs lying around in the streets could really slow down the traffic.
36, What is the main topic of the conversation?
37, According to the conversation, how did colonists try to make traveling in cities easier?
38, Why were cars consider the problem in colonial towns?
39, According to the conversation, what did colonial town's people do to clean their streets?

Part C
40-43, listen to part of the talk in a Geography class.
Not long ago, some of you may have read about the team of mountain climbing scientists who helped to recalculate the elevation of the highest mountain in the world, Mount Everest(珠穆朗玛峰). Of cause the elevation of Mount Everest was determined many years ago using traditional surveying methods. But these scientists wanted to make a more precise measurement, using a new method that takes advantage of recent advances in technology; it's called the Global Positioning System. The Global Positioning System uses 24 satellites that circle the earth. Each of the satellites is constantly sending out signals, and each signal contains important information that can be used to determine the longitude, latitude and elevation at any point on the earth's surface. Well in order to use the system to calculate amount of Everest's elevation. Scientists need to put a special receiver on the summit to receive signals from the satellites. The problem with this was that in the past, the receivers were much too heavy for climbers to carry. But now these receivers have been reduced to about the size and weight of a hand-held telephone, so climbers were able to take the receiver to the top of the Everest, and from there, to access the satellite system signals that would allow them to determine the precise elevation. And it turns out that the famous peak is actually a few feet higher than us previously thought.
40, What is the talk mainly about?
41, Why does the speaker mention a hand-held telephone?
42, According to the talk, what probably contributed most to the success of the new study of Mount Everest?
43,In the study described, how were satellite signals used?

Human population near the equator have evolved dark skin over many generations
because of exposure to the fiercest rays of the sun. A similar phenomenon has
also occurred in other parts of the animal kingdom. The African grass mouse is
a good example. Most mice are nocturnal, but the African grass mouse is active
during daylight hours. This means that it spends its days searching for food in
the semi-dry bush in squired habitats of eastern and southern Africa. Its furry
stripe's like a chipmunk's, which helps it blend in with its environment.
Because it spends a lot of time in the intense tropical sun, the grass mouse has
also evolved two separate safeguards against the sun's ultraviolet radiation.
First, like the population of humans in this region of the world, the skin of the
grass mouse contains lots of melanin, or dark pigment. Second and quite unusual,
this mouse has a layer of melanin pigmented tissue between its skull and skin.
This unique cap provides an extra measure of protection for the grass mouse and
three other types of African mouse, like rodents that are active during the day.
The only other species scientists have identified with the same sort of skull of
that occasion is the white camp-making bat of the Central American tropic.
Although these bats sleep during the day, they do so curled up with their head
exposed to the sun.
44. What is the speaker mainly discussing?
45. What is unusual about the head of African grass-mouse?
46. Why do x__X-making beds need protection from the sun's rays?

47-50 Listen to part of the talk in a political science class.
We are going to start today talking about the congressional aides .That is people who work to the congressional representative both in Washington and in the representative local districts. It used to be the members of the congress had a relatively small staff people working for them , and a role of these people was primary importance . And now , there are thousands of congressional aides. And it profound effect the way the whole government works . congressional aides works in two different locations . one in the congressional representative local offices . the districts from which they are elected . and two in Washington . staff in the local office help the members of the congress stay in touch with the citizens in their districts . the citizens can bring problems in in person or by mail or phone .this personal connection between aides and local people can be helpful when the next election comes around .people remember the helps the get from the office of the local congressional representative . But as you know .members of the congress had to spend most of heir time in Washington taking care of their legislation duties . over six thousand new laws were introduced in the congress each session .without help representatives would have trouble keeping up with proposed laws that directly affect the districts .so that is why congress play a major role in Washington. They keep their bosses inform about penning legislation, organize hearings and just keep their local congressional representatives up to date and inform on what is going on in other parts of the congress .now another thing congressional aides do is to help developefied ideas for law their boss can eventually purpose to congress .this can be called x__X function that is a bit like a business evaluating what products are most popular .congressional aides promote or encourage laws they think would be popular in the public .You also get other employees work for the whole congress not just for individual members ,we'll talk these people next .
47 what is the talk main about ?
48 according to the professor ,what do congressional aides in local offices mainly do ?
49 why does the author mention the purposed laws introduced to the congress ?
50 what is the x__X function of the congressional staff members .
