18、interview about space tourism in the 21st century. As you listen, answer Question 1 to 10 by circling TRUE or FALSE. You will hear the interview only once.（分数：30.00）(1).Pioneers of space tourism are not affected by the NASA disaster.（分数：3.00）A.正确 B.错误解析：听力原文 W: Good morning, listeners. Today we have

19、 invited Professor Anthony Johnson from Robotics Institute to tell us about space tourism in the 21th century. Professor Johnson, after what had happened to NASAs Mars Pathfinder, do you think plans about space travel will be adjusted? M: You would think that NASAs recent disaster would have dampene

20、d the spirits of those who see space as tourisms last frontier. Not a bit. Orbiting hotels are still being planned, some travel agents are offering flight bookings. W: Has anyone actually toured in space? M: So far there has been only one space tourist: John Glenn. And it will be years before the re

21、st of us have the opportunity to take that giant step. W: But some travel agents have promised to take us into space soon. M: For all their promises, the would-be pioneers of space tourism are a long way from putting you, me and our suitcases in orbit. Thats why Zegrahm Space Voyages, a space tour o

22、perator, has had to postpone, for three to five years, its first trip into space. The company had hoped to take people 100 km up for six days in 2001. It has already accepted 139 bookings at $98,000 a person. Now it says that space travel will not be possible until technology can be developed that i

23、s safe enough. However, if you have the courage and the cash, you can go to the “edge of space“22 km highin Russian-made jets from an airfield in Moscow, for $12,000 each. Up to now, some 4,500 adventurers have made the trip. W: What will happen next? M: The next step will be sub-orbital travel, up

24、to 100 km high. Sub-orbital ships will be technologically less complex and cheaper to operate. Private companies and rich individuals are rushing to develop models. One U.S. group, the X Prize Foundation, is offering $10 million to the first designer to develop a ship that can carry passengers into

25、space. W: What about orbiting hotels? M: Until then, plans to build hotels in space will remain mere pies in the sky. But that hasnt stopped folks from drawing up blueprints. Experts believe that orbiting hotels are closer to reality than a resort on the moon. Right now, the idea of a lunar hotel is

26、 just one big dream. W: How did the idea of the edge-of-space travel come to peoples mind? M: Space tourisms best immediate chance has come from a surprising angle. Instead of trying to get to the moon, why not bring it a little closer to us? LunarCorp, a private firm in Arlington, Virginia, has dev

27、eloped a spaceship called the Icebreaker. It is like an office desk with surround vision. It will dig for samples on the lunar surface in the hope of finding water. NASA Kennedy Space Center gets 3 million visitors a year. By 2003, visitors will be able to take a simulated space flight for $10. Driv

28、ers will be selected to sit in the command chair, simultaneously watching a video screen that shows the action of the Icebreaker. This is the way forward for space tourism. A new concept for a new millennium. Revenues from such activities will drive other commercial cosmic developments. And as space

29、 flight gets cheaper, watch the booking skyrocket.(2).The first group of travelers will take a trip to space in 2001.（分数：3.00）A.正确B.错误 解析：(3).At least 139 people have booked a trip to space.（分数：3.00）A.正确 B.错误解析：(4).People have ventured to the “edge of space“ in Russian jets at $12,000 a person.（分数：3

32、must answer the questions by choosing A, B, C or D. You will hear the recording only once.（分数：9.00）(1).What does the word “embrace“ probably mean in this passage? A. Enfold. B. Hug. C. Comprehend. D. Support.（分数：3.00）A.B.C. D.解析：听力原文 The American economic system is basically organized around a priva

33、te-enterprise, market-oriented economy in which customers largely determine what will be produced by spending their money in the market for those goods and services which they want most. Striving to make profits, private businessmen produce the goods and services in competition with other businessme

34、n. And the profit motivation, operating under competitive stresses, determines how these goods and services are produced. Therefore, in the American economic system, it is the demand of the customers, with the desire of businessmen to maximize the profits and the desire of individuals to maximize th

35、e incomes, which determine what will be produced and how resources are used to produce it altogether. In a market-oriented economy, one important factor is the mechanism by which customer demands could be expressed and responded to by producers. In the American economy, this mechanism is provided by

36、 the price system, in which prices rise and fall in response to relative demands of customers and supplies offered by the producers. If the product is in short supply relative to the demand, the price will be raised and some customers will be removed from the market. If, on the other hand, producing

37、 more of a product results in reducing its cost, this will increase the supply offered by the producers, which, in turn, will lower the price and permit more customers to buy the product. Therefore, price is the regulating mechanism in the American economic system. The important factor in a private-

38、enterprise economy is that individuals are permitted to own productive resources, and they are allowed to employ labor, get control over natural resources, and produce goods and services at a profit. In the American economy, the concept of private property embraces not only the ownership of producti

39、ve resources but also some rights, including the right to make a free contract with another private individual or to determine the price of a product.(2).According to the passage, what is a prvate-enterprise economy characterized by? A. Private property and rights concerned. B. Manpower and natural

40、resources control. C. Ownership of productive resources. D. Free contracts and prices.（分数：3.00）A. B.C.D.解析：(3).What is the passage mainly talking about? A. How American goods are produced. B. How American consumers buy their goods. C. How American economic system works. D. How American businessmen m

D.解析：听力原文 The food we eat seems to have profound impacts on our health. Although science has made great step

42、s in making food more fit to eat, at the same time, it has made many foods unfit to eat. Some research shows that perhaps 80% of the illnesses are related to diet and 40% of cancer is related to the diet as well, especially cancer of the colon. Different cultures are more likely to have certain diff

43、erent illnesses because of the food which is characteristic in these cultures. That food is related to illness is not a new discovery. In 1945, government researchers realized that nitrates, used commonly to preserve color in meats, and other food additives, caused cancer. These carcinogenic additiv

44、es remain in food. It becomes more difficult for us all the time to know which things on the packaging labels of processed food are helpful or harmful. The additives we eat are not all so direct. Farmers often give penicillin to beef and animals. Because of this, penicillin has been found in the mil

45、k. Sometimes similar drugs are given to animals not for medical purposes but for economic purposes. The farmers are just trying to fatten the animals to obtain a higher price on the market. Although the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has repeatedly tried to control these procedures, the practice

46、s continue.(2).Which of the following statements is NOT true? A. Drugs are always given to animals for medical reasons. B. Some of the additives in our food are added to the food itself and some are given to the living animals. C. Researchers have known about the potential dangers of food additives

47、for over thirty-five years. D. Food may cause forty percent of cancer in the world.（分数：3.00）A. B.C.D.解析：(3).What does the word “carcinogenic“ probably mean? A. Trouble-making. B. Color-retaining. C. Money-making. D. Cancer-causing.（分数：3.00）A.B.C.D. 解析：（分数：12.00）(1).What does the movement of plants a

48、nd animals from Asia to America indicate? A. It indicates that they could not have traveled across the Bering Strait. B. It indicates that Asia and the Western hemisphere were connected by a large land mass. C. It indicates that the Bering Sea was an isthmus at one time. D. It indicates that migration was in the one direction only.（分数：3.00）A.B. C.D.解析：听力原文 There is no doubt that human came only recently to the Western Hemisphere. None of the thousands of sites of aboriginal
