听力原文： We cannot feel speed. But our senses let us know that we are moving. We see things moving past us and feel that we are, being shaken.
We can feel acceleration, an increase in speed. But we notice it for only a short time. For example, we feel it during the takeoff of an airplane.
We feel the plane's acceleration because our bodies do not get speed as fast as the plane does. It seems that something is pushing us back against the seat. Actually, our bodies are trying to stay in the same place, while the plane is carrying us forward.
Soon the plane reaches a steady speed. Then, because there is no longer any change in speed, the feeling forward motion stops.
8. What lets us know that we are moving？
(13)
A．Our body.
B．Our senses.
C．The speed.
D．The plane.

W: What for？

听力原文：W: Sam, could you review the results of the survey on leisure sporting activities again？ We need to plan our proposal for tomorrow's meeting.
M: Sure. I've summarized the results in the handout, broken down by consumer age groups and sporting activities. The survey was administered to 550 men and women between the ages of 18 and 55 years old The results have been compiled in the following age groups: 18 to 26, 27 to 35, 36 to 45, and 46 to 55. According to the results, the most active group involved in sporting activities are those between 18 and 26 years old, followed by those 36 to 45 years old.
W: Okay.
M: As far as particular sports are concerned, people in these two groups cited jogging as their favorite recreational sport followed by skiing, tennis, swimming, and cycling.
W: Hmm. Based on what you've said, I think we should consider targeting the 18 to 26 year-old age group more in the future. I also feel we should consider expanding our line of athletic shoes, particularly jogging and tennis footwear. We also have to come up with a more appealing slogan aimed at this age group.
M: I see what you mean. However, when these results are compared with the survey carried out three years ago, we can see a growing trend among older consumers-those 14, I mean 46 to 55-who are becoming more conscious and concerned about staving fit. I believe this trend will continue, so we should focus on this group instead.
W: I see your point. Well, let's meet again on Wednesday to iron out more of the details of this proposal.
(20)
A．9-17.
B．18-26.
C．27-35.
