D.Automobiles are the main pubic transportation tools of USA.解析：听力原文 Professors from Yale University agreed in a panel discussion tonight that the automobile

25、was what one of them called “Public Health Enemy No. 1 in This Country“. Besides polluting the air and overcrowding the cities, automobiles could cause heart disease “because we don“t walk anywhere any more,“ said Dr. H. P. Richard Weinerman, professor of medicine and public health. Dr. Weinerman“s

26、sharp accusation against the automobile came in a discussion of human environment on Yale Reports, a radio program broadcast by Station WTIC in Hartford, Connecticut. The program opened a three-part series on “Staying Alive“. “For the first time in human history, the problem of man“s survival has to

27、 do with his control of man-made hazards,“ Dr. Weinerman said. “Before this, the problem had been the control of natural hazards.“ What is the main idea of the passage? 解析 短文开头即称汽车是“该国公共健康的头号敌人”，整篇文章即围绕此主题展开，故答案 C。短文开头句通常是主题所在，听出 automobile 和 health enemy No. 1，即可准确答题。万一开头句听了，全文多处提到汽车对人的危害，disease，s

30、D.7.解析：听力原文 Whether it“s curled up, flat on the stomach or stretched out across the bed, the way people sleep reveals their personality, a British sleep expert said. Professor Chris Idzikowski, director of the Sleep Assessment and Advisory Service, has identified six common sleep positions and what

31、they mean. Crouched in the fetal position is the most popular sleep pattern and favored by 51 percent of women, according to the results of the study he conducted for a large hotel group. Fetal sleepers tend to be shy and sensitive while people who take the soldier position, flat on their back with

32、arms at their sides, are quiet and reserved. Sleeping on one“s side with legs outstretched and arms down in what Idzikowski refers to as the log, indicates a social, easy-going personality. But if the arms are outstretched in a yearning position, the person tends to be more suspicious. The freefall,

33、 flat on the stomach with the hands at the sides of the head, is the most unusual position. Only 6.5 percent of people prefer it and they are usually rash and sociable. Unassuming, good listeners usually adopt the starfish positionon the back with outstretched arms and legs. Idzikowski, who identifi

34、ed the positions by comparing personality traits of people, their preferred way of sleeping and the most common positions, said once a sleeping style is adopted it is rarely changed. How many common sleep positions did the professor identify? 解析 文中提到“教授区分了 6 种睡觉姿势”，故选 C。A.They are shy and sensitive.

35、B.They are quiet and sensitive.C.They are shy and suspicious.D.They are quiet and reserved. 解析：听力原文 What is true about sleepers in the soldier position? 解析 短文说，“以战士姿势睡觉的人安静而不苟言笑”，故选 D。选项可分两组：A、C 共有一个shy，差别在 sensitive 与 suspicious；B、D 共有一个 quiet，差别在 sensitive 和 reserved。毫无疑问，本题问某些人的性格。细节题，听到什么选什么。A.T

37、文结尾处称：“某种睡觉风格一养成就很难改就。”B 与此相反，符合问题要求。（分数：8.00）A.In June or July.B.In July.C.In May or June. D.In May.解析：听力原文 May and June are the months when most American colleges and universities hold their graduation ceremonies. These ceremonies are a time for family and friends to gather and celebrate a student

38、“s completion of an academic degree. Most ceremonies are traditional. The students wear caps and gowns over their clothing. One by one, their names are called. They go to the front, shake hands with school officials and receive a document of some kind. But first they must sit and listen to speeches.

39、 Colleges and universities often invite famous guests or former students who have been successful. Schools often want speakers to comment on world events. This Saturday, for example, Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton will speak at the graduation ceremony at the Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute in Troy,

40、 New York. News people are often invited to speak at graduations. So are entertainers. Actor John Lithgow, a 1967 graduate of Harvard, will speak at the university on June 9th. Then there are speakers like Jon Stewart. He entertains by making fun of the news. His popular program, “The Daily Show,“ a

41、ppears on Comedy Central on cable television. Last year, Jon Stewart spoke at the College of William and Mary in Williamsburg, Virginia. He graduated from there in 1984. He did offer some serious advice. He said: “College is something you complete. Life is something you experience. So don“t worry ab

42、out your grade, or the results or success. Success is defined in various ways, and you will find it . Love what you do. Get good at it.“ When do most American universities hold their graduation ceremonies? 解析 短文开头说：“5、6 月是大多数美国大学举行毕业典礼的月份”。故答案为 C。细节题，问月份。短文开头处的信息。听到什么选什么。A.Professors and researchers

43、.B.Foreign guests and students.C.News people and entertainers. D.Professors and leaders.解析：听力原文 Who are often invited to speak at the graduation ceremonies? 解析 文中谈到，“常常会邀请新闻人物和艺人在毕业典礼上致辞”，故选 C。由选项知本题问到某一类人物。可以边听边做笔记。根据“听到什么选什么”的原则，可以得到正确选项。A.Harvard.

46、 caused by nature. D.We know nothing about their causes.解析：听力原文 We don“t know how the first fire was made. Early fires on the earth were certainly caused by nature, not by man. Some were caused by lightning in a storm; others, perhaps by one hot material which came out of a volcano. Quite possibly,

47、at times, the heat of the sun set light to some dry grass or leaves. At first, man, like other animals, was probably afraid of fire. He saw that fire could destroy a forest; he knew that fire could hurt his body. So great was the power of fire that he feared it and worshipped it. Gradually, however,

48、 with his better powers of thinking, he overcame his fear. Probably he overcame most of his fear when he discovered how to make fire for himself. Throughout the ages he has learned more about fire, how to control it, and how to use it in many ways. Now fire is no longer a master or a god, it is a se

49、rvant. Again, at some early date, man found how fire could be used to make certain metals from rocks. Some time later, he found out how to make the metal which we now call bronze. This is a mixture of copper and tin. Bronze was a very useful metal. It was hard and tough, but he could shape it by hammering (probably with heavy stones). He could make a tool with a sharp edge for cutting. It isn“t so easy to get iron from its ore and this metal was probably not discovered until very much later. What do we know about early fires on the earth?
