Education today is not just a high school diploma or a college degree. Many grown-ups are not interested in going to college. They are interested
29、 in other kinds of learning. For them, learning does not end with a diploma. Continuing education gives these grown-ups the opportunity to increase their knowledge about their own field or to learn about a new field. It also gives them a chance to improve their old skills or to learn new ones.Secret
30、aries, mechanics, drivers and barbers can take classes to improve their own skills. Nurses can take classes to increase their knowledge of nursing. If they know more or learn more, then they can get a better job and earn more money.Continuing education classes give some grown-ups the chances to lear
31、n new skills. There is usually a large variety of classes to choose from: Typing, nursing, cooking, driving or photography. But only some of the classes are available.Q1: What is this passage mainly about?1. A. The ideas about education in the United States. B. Going to college. C. Learning new skil
32、ls in schools.D. Continuing education in the United States.Q2: What are the changing ideas about education mentioned in the passage?2. A. The Americans are not interested in a diploma. B.

34、C. Many American adults are no longer interested in a college degree. D. Adults take continuing education classes for a better job and more money.Passage 2 Script of Passage 2:Recently the term “health” has come to have a wider meaning than it used to. It no longer means just the absence of illness.
35、 Today, health means the well-being of your body, your mind and your relationship with other people. This new concept of health is closely related to another term quality of life. Quality of life is the degree of overall satisfaction that a person gets from life.Why has the emphasis of health shifte
36、d from the absence of disease to a broader focus on the quality of a persons life? One reason for this has to do with the length and conditions of life that people can now expect. Medical advances have made it possible for people today to live longer, healthier lives. Imagine for a moment that you w
37、ere born in the year 1900. You could have expected on average to live until about the age of 47. In contrast, if you were born in the year 1999, you could expect to live to the age of 75.Q1: What is this passage mainly about?1.A. Different interpretations of the term “health”. B. Improving the quali
38、ty of life. C. The importance of health to quality living. D. Peoples expectations of a long and healthy life.Q2: What does health mean to people of today according to the passage?2. A. Absence of illness. B. A long life. C. Good conditions of living.D. Complete satisfaction with life.Q3: What can y
39、ou infer from the passage?3.A. Nowadays the emphasis of health has a broader focus because of improvements in the quality of food.B. The overall quality of peoples lives improved greatly in the 20th century. C. Those who never fall ill are the truly healthy people. D. Those who were born before 1900
40、 could not have lived long.Passage 3 Script of Passage 3:Background music may seem harmless, but it can have a powerful effect on those who hear it. Recorded background music first found its way into factories, shops and restaurants in the USA. Very soon it spread to other parts of the world. Now it
41、 is becoming difficult to go shopping or eat a meal without listening to music.To begin with, background music was intended simply to create a soothing atmosphere. Recently, however, its becoming a big business. An American marketing expert has shown that music can boost sales or increase factory pr
42、oduction by as much as a third.But it has to be the light music. Lively music has no effect at all on sales. Slow music can increase receipts by 34%. This is probably because shoppers slow down and have more opportunity to spot items they would like to buy. Yet, slow music isnt always the answer. Th
43、e expert found that in restaurants slow music meant customers took longer to eat their meals, which reduced overall sales. So restaurant owners might be well advised to play faster music to keep the customers moving unless, of course, the resulting indigestion leads to complaints.Q1: Where was recor
44、ded background music first used?1. A. In factories, shops and offices in Europe.B. In factories, shops and restaurants in the USA. C. In factories, schools and shops in England. D. In factories, shops and snack bars in Asia.Q2: What was the original purpose of background music?2. A. To boost sales.
45、B. To increase factory production. C. To help diners eat quickly.D. To produce a pleasant atmosphere.Q3: What kind of music can have a powerful effect on customers in shops?3.A. Rock music. B. Lively music.C. Light music. D. Traditional music.Q4: Why doesnt the same kind of music work in restaurants
46、 according to the passage?4. A. It will slow down the flow of customers. B. It will result in indigestion. C. It doesnt sound pleasing to the ears. D. It will spoil diners appetite.Passage 4 Script of Passage 4:Ozone is a form of oxygen. It is found in the air we breathe and in the upper atmosphere.
47、 Near Earth, ozone in the air is a danger to life. It is a pollutant. But between ten and fifty kilometers up in the atmosphere, ozone protects life on Earth. Ozone forms in the atmosphere through the action of radiation from the sun. Ozone blocks harmful radiation from reaching Earth. Scientists sa
48、y a decrease in ozone and an increase in the harmful radiation will cause many more cases of skin cancer. And it will harm crops, animals and fish.Ozone problems first became known in 1985. British scientists reported that ozone levels in the Antarctic atmosphere near the South Pole fell sharply eac
49、h year in October and November. 1987 was the first year that a huge hole developed in the ozone layer above the Antarctic.A recent study of the atmosphere over the Arctic area near the North Pole showed extreme thinning of the ozone. Officials from the American space agency said the latest study is
50、a result of the largest campaign yet to measure ozone amounts and changes in the Arctic area. NASA researcher Paul Newman said some of the measurements show ozone in the Arctic decreased about sixty per cent between January and the middle of March. These measurements are similar to the ozone losses
51、observed in this area a few years ago.Other studies have shown that man-made chemicals were destroying ozone in the atmosphere. An international agreement halted production of the most harmful chemicals. The new findings support the idea that recovery of the ozone layer may be delayed.Q1: Where can
52、ozone be found useful to life according to the passage?1. A. In the lower atmosphere.B. In the upper atmosphere. C. On Earth. D. Near Earth.Q2: When did ozone problems first become known?2. A. In 1978. B. In 1980.C. In 1985. D. In 1987.Q3: What is the passage mainly about?3. A. Ozone as a form of ox
53、ygen. B. Problems caused by the thinning of the ozone layer. C. Some studies of ozone problems.D. The latest studies of ozone problems.Passage 5 Script of Passage 5:Gene Perret has been a joke writer for twenty years and has taken hundreds of flights. So he was only half listening when the air stewa
54、rd began going over the safety instructions. Suddenly Perrets ears stood up “There may be 50 ways to leave your lover,” the steward said, “but there are only five ways to leave this airplane.” And then he added: “Please return your seat to its upright and most uncomfortable position. Later you may l
55、ean back and break the knees of the passenger behind you.”Perret uses the air steward story to make a serious point: humor can catch someones attention and get a message across. “Some people cant tell a joke to save their lives,” says Perret, “but everyone can learn to use humor effectively. The sec
56、ret is developing your own style, learning a few tricks and taking the time to practice.”The first step Perret recommends is to build up a “comedy collection”. Note down 25 jokes or stories that you find funny. Then work out whether you are better with stories or one-liners. Dont try to be what your
57、e not. “Matching people with the wrong material is like teaching a pig to sing,” Perret says. “It not only wastes your time, it annoys the pig.”Look out for humor on a regular basis, not just before you intend to use it. Joke books are OK, but Perret suggests looking for material from your own exper
58、ience. He tells a story about helping his little daughter prepare to perform a poem at her school. When he offered to write one for her, she said, “No, Dad, this is in front of the whole school. Id rather it was good.” Nothing makes people feel more comfortable than self-critical humor.Material shou
59、ld also fit the audience. “The more humor fits a particular situation, the funnier it is,” Perret says. But Perret advises people to forget the idea that a speech should open and close with a joke. When a closing joke falls flat, it is almost impossible to recover.Q1: What is the purpose of the pass
60、age?1. A. To teach us how to increase our sense of humor.B. To teach us how to amuse people with humor. C. To tell us what can make people laugh. D. To tell us why people laugh.Q2: Why did Gene Perret tell the story about the air steward?2. A. To keep the audience interested. B. To engage the audien
