M: Nana is the most popular comic series because Japanese people can sympathize with this love story. Why Japanese people love comics is probably because riley do not show much of what they think or feel. So, they project their thoughts and feelings in comics. W: Which part of Japan is the most famous？ And why？ M: The most famous part in Japan is Tokyo, the center of modern culture in Japan and all Japanese trends are born there. W: What is the most important festival in Japan and why does it become so significant for the Japanese？ M: In Japan, the most important festival is the New Year's Holidays. Japanese people visit a shrine on New Year's day to pray for health and good future. Also, family gets together and many children receive money. Also, people clean the house before the New Year and eat toshikoshi soba for long life. And on New Year's day people eat osechi ryori, which is very special and delicious. I like New Year very much. W: If I want to skiing, where should I go？ M: I think Nagano(长野) is the best place to ski in Japan. The reason is because the Winter Olympics were held in Nagano in 1998. The snow there is very soft and beautiful. W: What kind of food do you like besides Japanese food？ Like American food, Chinese food？ M: Recently, young Japanese people eat with their friends at fast food restaurants like McDonalds or Yoshinoya. There are not many university students eating meals at home. I think that I am the same as those students. Also, Japanese like Italian, Chinese, and Korean food. But I like Japanese food the best because foreign food is too strong for me. W: What do you think about Junlehiro Koizumi？ Is he handsome or look old？ M: I think Prime Minister Koizumi is a progressive person rather than a traditional one. He is active and has made good diplomacy, but his idea of tax increase is not good. I think capitalism is going to do big damage to poor people. Koizmni's capitalism is just like that of President George Bush. Is Koizumi handsome？ Well, I think he looks not all that bad.

W: Yes, well, um, we've done a survey on local entertainment. Basically, we tried to find out how students feel about the entertainment in the town and how much they use it. So we've called our project "Out and About"... M: Yes, that's a good title! W: We wanted to find out how well students use the entertainment facilities in town... whether they get to see the latest plays, films... that kind of thing. Actually there were a lot of areas to choose from but in the end we limited ourselves to looking at two general categories: cinema and theatre. M: Right. W: OK. Well, first of all the cinema. In the town, there are three main places where you can see films. There's the new multi-screen cinema complex, the old park cinema, and a late-night odeon. In terms of audience size, the multi-screen complex accounts for 75% of all cinema seats, the park cinema accounts for 20% of seats and the late-night odeon has just 5% of seats. M: Yes, as is shown in your chart. W: As you probably know, the complex and the park show all the latest films, while the late-night cinema tends to show cult films. So, when we interviewed the students, we thought the complex would be the most popular choice of cinema... but surprisingly it was the late-night odeon. Most students said that if they wanted to see a film, they waited for it to show at the park because the complex is more expensive and further out of town so you have to pay more to get there as well. M: Yes, and that adds to the cost, of course, and distracts from the popularity, evidently. W: Well, next, we looked at theatres. There's the Stage Theatre in town, which is very old and architecturally quite beautiful. And there's also the large, modem theatre, the Ashtop, that has recently been built. But the thing about the theatres is that there's a whole variety of seat prices. Also, the types of performance vary... so students tend to buy seats at both and like using both for different reasons and if they want cheap seats at the Ashtop, they can just sit further from the front. M: And anything else？ W: Yes. What we did find that was very interesting is that there are periods during the year when students seem to go to the theatre and periods when they go to the cinema and we really think that's to do with the budget. There's a peak around November and December when they go to the theatre more and then a period in April and May when neither is particularly popular and then theatre viewing seems to tail off virtually while the cinema becomes quite popular in June and July. M: Mmm. I think you're probably right about your conclusions... (23) A．The entertainment on campus. B．The entertainment facilities students use in town. C．The kinds of films and plays students enjoy. D．The cinemas and theatres students like to go to.

M: Yes, I was driving home from work. It was about 5:15, and there was a blue car in front of me. We were both driving along Harbor Road when a small white Ford suddenly shot out of a side road. It shot right in front of the blue car. The driver tried to stop, but it was impossible. He ran into the white Ford. W: I see. Now, how fast was the car in front of you going when the accident happened？ M: The blue car？ 30 miles an hour. Certainly no more than that. W: And the white Ford shot out without any warning？ M: Yes, that's right. W: Then, how can you be sure the blue car was only doing 30？ M: Because I was only doing 30, and the blue car wasn't going any faster than I was. W: Are you sure of that？ M: Yes, I am. I'm positive. W: How can you be so positive, Mr. Atkins？ Were you looking at your speedometer when the accident happened？ M: Of course not. I was looking at the road ahead. That's how I managed to see the accident! W: Well, if you weren't looking at your speedometer, how can you possibly be sure how fast you were going？ M: Because I never go faster than 30 on that road.

W: Sure. Weren't you in class on Monday？ That's when it was given out. M: No, I missed that class. Was there a handout？ W: No, the instructor just wrote the assignment on the board. M: Could I copy the assignment from your notes？ W: You could, ff I had copied it all down; but I just wrote down the part that I wanted. M: Oh, no. W: You see, there were four choices of topics ior the term paper; but, when I saw them, I knew which one I wanted so I didn't copy the others down. M: Can you remember any o'f the others？ W: Let's see. There was one about World War I, something about it, but I don't remember what, and there was one called "the idea of progress in the nineteenth century." M: And what was the last one？ W: I can't remember. My mind is a complete blank. Maybe you can ask someone else. M: Yes, I will. Anyway, those are certainly broad topics. W: Yes, but you van focus on a special area within them. Which one would you take？ M: Of course, I don't know what the last one is, but of these three, I think I'd take "the idea of progress." W: That's very abstract. M: Yes, but it's one of my interests and I've read a lot on the subject. I've never written a term paper on it though. W: Me neither. I haven't even read about it. Are you going to class on Wednesday？ M: Yes. W: Maybe he'll write it on the board again. M: I hope so. Good luck with your paper. W: Same to you. (23) A．Three. B．Four. C．Five. D．Six.

B: It’s quite difficult to make a kind of hierarchy of worry here, because so many issues are there, and so … and they’re all very very important. But I think it has to be said that as far as we we’re concerned, as a campaigning organization, it really is the rain forest that we are concentrating on most. If we don’t take action on that issue within the next five years, then environmental pressure groups won’t have anything to do in ten years’ time, because there won’t be any rain forests, really, for them to campaign about. So this is a critical period for the rain forests, the next five years, and there is enough flexibility in the system to allow us to hope that we’re going to be able to make some changes during that time. So that’s why we’ve made it our priority. A: What’s so important about the rain forests, then？ Er, what’s, what’s the difference between having them or not having them？ Isn’t it just, you know, basically either there’re a lot of trees there or there aren’t a lot of trees there？ B: Uhh…well that’s what some people would like to think. Um, there, it’s important in many different ways, important firstly for the countries themselves, in terms of the fact that millions of people depend on the rain forests for their livelihood, and for their … the quality of their environment, through the protection of watersheds, and so on. Secondly, they’re important because of the biological richness of the rain forests. Um, a genetic chest … treasure chest is how they’ve been described. Um, more than 60% of the world’s species is to be found in the rain forests. Write that off, and you write off that genetic storehouse. Lastly, they’re important at international level because of the impact on climate patterns that one would find if the rain forests were destroyed. So, whether you’re looking closely at the tribal people who depend on them, the countries which depend on them, the international community which depends on them, indeed the, the, you know, the creatures themselves, um, it’s actually the most critical issue that we face. And our prime job is of course to try and get people to understand how it is, even in countries where there are no rain forests, that they still have a connection with that rain forest.

According to the speaker, ______ is the most important environmental issues of the moment. A．air pollution B．water pollution C．rain forests
