四、听短文，判断正误，正确的选A，错误的选B（每小题1分，共5分） 录音听两遍
It is interesting to visit another country, but sometimes there are many problems too. In a foreign country, we may not know where to eat, what to order or how to pay the bill. We may not know how to begin a conversation. It may take us a long time to learn what to do and how to do it. Wang Tian is studying English in New York now. He has not been there for a long time, and he is quite puzzled at the great differences between American and Chinese cultures.
For one thing, Americans and Chinese have different customs when visiting friends. The Chinese like to call on their friends at any time they like. Americans, on the other hand, prefer to agree on the date and time before visiting.
For another thing, foreigners will open your present in front of you to show they like it very much. While for Chinese people, it is not proper to open in front of you. There are also different ways of answering others’ praises. When you praise a Chinese hostess for her cooking skills, she may say, “Oh, no, it’s not good.” Yet an American hostess will be happy to accept it, and might say, “Oh, I’m glad you like it”.
At the beginning, it was hard for Wang Tian to accept things around him. But soon, he became used to their ways of doing things. He would like to say, “When in Rome, do as the Romans do”.
五、听短文，判断正误，正确的选A，错误的选B （每小题1分，共5分） 录音听两遍 When we talk about the universe, we mean the earth, the sun, the moon and the stars, and the space between them. Many of the stars can’t be seen because they are too far away. The moon travels around the earth. It’s only 380,000 kilo-meters away, but spaceships without people have reached other parts of the universe. Many countries have set up man-made satellites. With their help the world itself is becoming a much smaller place and people from different countries now understand each other better.

Most high schools in the United States publish a yearbook. The yearbook comes out once a year, usually in the spring. It is a record of the school year ---a “book of memories” for the students.
The yearbook also has photos and descriptions of sports teams, subjects, and activities. These are activities students do after school, such as the chess club and Spanish club. There is even a yearbook club. Students in this club write, design, and take photos all year for the yearbook. At the end of the year, the book is printed.
In the yearbook, some students receive special titles. The seniors vote and choose the “class clown”, and the “best dressed”. (a student with a good fashion sense). There are also other awards

Everyone knows the tiny animal called the mosquito. It is possible to find mosquitoes in almost every part of the world except the places where it is very cold or where it is very dry. During the summer, it is almost certain that you can find mosquitoes near swamps, rivers and lakes.
Mosquitoes have an interesting life. First the female mosquito bites a person or an animal in order to get some blood. She needs this blood before she can lay her eggs. Second, she flies to the surface of the water and lays her eggs in the water. In a few days, the eggs open and the baby mosquitoes come out. In a short time they will grow up and fly away.
It is interesting to notice that only the female will bite for blood. The male mosquito can only drink plant juice with his mouth.

the bathroom! My friends say that I am “cell phone crazy.”
60．M: I am the writer. In my opinion, the cell phone is getting more and more useful. It can help
people to do business. It can send urgent messages and make people feel safe. But we shouldn’t use it in public places, because it will make noise to others. As a cell phone is small, we can carry it everywhere and talk with friends in anytime. (听力考试到此结束)
