听力原文:W: Are you busy this evening? I'm going over to the International Center later on if you'd like to come along.

听力原文:M: Good morning everyone. Well I think we can start straightaway by getting Rosie to do her presentation. Would you like to start, Rosie?
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.

听力原文:W: I' m going over to the recycling center this afternoon. Would you like me to take your old newspaper and paper bags a long?
M: I do have a lot of papers and magazines down on the basement. Volunteers used to come by these apartments regularly to collect waste paper. I still save it but people seldom ask for it nowadays and I' ve never gone over to the recycling center myself.
W: That’s typical. A few years ago people were really enthusiastic about musing waste paper. Unfortunately, interest has been decreasing lately. Manufacturers now use waste paper for things, like paper bags, towels, napkins and boxes. But the demand is down. I think they need to find new commercial uses for recycled paper.
M: I suppose things like greeting cards, calendars and writing paper could be made from it too. But recycled paper usually has a dingy color, doesn't it?
W: Well, it wouldn’t be suitable for art books or high-quality magazine paper. But who cares about the drab color if waste paper can take place of virgin wood pulp and so help to preserve forests. M: You are right. I'll bring my waste paper over to your apartment in a little while. Thanks for offering to take it.
According to the speakers, what products are now made from recycled paper?
A.Paper towels, napkins, bags and boxes.
B.Insulation for basements.
C.Art books and other high-quality printed matter.
D.Imitation wood.

听力原文:W: Mr. Atkins, Would you please tell the court what you were doing when the accident happened and what you saw?
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.
