M1: What about the kitchen？ M2: Right this way. Look. It's completely furnished with all the latest appliances, except... M1: What？ M2: Well, the refrigerator door is broken ... a little bit ... and it won't shut all the way. It needs fixing, but don't worry. It isn't that bad.

听力原文： A newspaper reports Saudi Arabia’s Crown Prince Abdullah has canceled a visit to Canada over criticism for the alleged mistreatment of a Canadian citizen detained in a Saudi prison. Saudi Arabia’s A1-Riyadb newspaper quotes Saudi officials as saying the trip has been called off because of what they call "unacceptable interference" by Canadian officials and some of Canada's newspapers. The dispute is over 43-year-old William Sampson, who is being held in Saudi Arabia in connection with two bomb explosions in November. The blasts killed a British citizen and injured several other people in the capital, Riyadh. Mr. Sampson could face the death penalty if found guilty of murder. Canada’s National Post newspaper recently quoted a close friend of the prisoner as saying Mr. Sampson had been taken to a hospital on May 17 with a crushed vertebra, foot injuries and scratched wrists. Saudi officials have said the injuries were the result of a suicide attempt. The Canadian government rejected the torture allegations after receiving a report from its ambassador who visited Mr. Sampson with a European doctor in a hospital on Monday. What crime is William Sampson charged with？ A．Bombing. B．Arson. C．Rape. D．Burglary.

听力原文： A little airplane has given new meaning to the term "going hyper". The Hyper-X recently broke the record for air-breathing jet planes when it traveled at a hypersonic speed of seven times the speed of sound. That's about 5,000 miles per hour. At this speed, you'd get around the world-- flying along the equator-- in less than five hours. The Hyper-X is an unmanned, experimental aircraft just 12 feet long. It achieves hypersonic speed using a special sort of engine. Actually, engineers have been experimenting with such an engine since the 1960s. For an engine to bum fuel and produce energy, it needs oxygen. A jet engine, like those on passenger airplanes, gets oxygen from the air. A rocket engine typically goes faster but has to carry its own supply of oxygen. This special engine goes as fast as a rocket, but it doesn't have to carry its own oxygen supply. Its design allows it to extract oxygen from the air that flows through the engine. And it does so without letting the fast-moving air put out the combustion flames. A booster rocket carried the Hyper-X to an altitude of about 100,000 feet for its test flight. The aircraft's record-beating flight lasted just 11 seconds. In the future, engineers predict, airplanes equipped with such engines could transport cargo quickly and cheaply to the edge of space. Hypersonic airliners could carry passengers anywhere in the world in just a few hours. (36) A．How to develop a new airplane technology. B．Features and possible usages of a special engine. C．How to do experiment with dangerous engines. D．How to do experiment with unmanned airplanes.
