Passage One 录音原稿
There are some serious problems in the Biramichi river. The local chamber of commerce, which we rpresents the industry in the area hired me as a consultant to do a one-year study on fishing in the Biramichi river and write a report for them. This is my report:
One of the major problems in the Bramichi river is that the level of oxygen in the water is too low. Several chemicals have displaced the oxygen. This chemical pollution has two sources. The factories which dump polluted water directly into the river and the local community which dumps untreated human wastes into the river. The local town government has already spent 2 million dollars on waste water treatment projects, but it will cost another 27 million to complete the projects. It will take at least 15 years for the town to collect enough revenue from taxes to complete these projects. The factories here employ 17,000 people in an area where there is very little alternative employment. It is not economically practical to close or relocate the factories. Also the factories cannot afford to finance chemical treatment plants by themselves. Another problem is that the members of the Biramichi fishing corporative are overfishing. Fishes are caught when they are on the way upstream to lay eggs. Consequently, not enough fish are left to reproduce in large mumber. The members of the corporative say that they had already reduced their annual catch by 50 percent. However, my studies indicate that they took fewer fish because there were fewer fish to catch not because they were trying to preserve fishes.

Passage Two 录音稿
Everybody have to die someday, but nobody likes to think about it. Even so, at sometime in their lives, most people manage to think about the question of how to make a will. If you have already made yours, it is probably just a few pages of writing, stating that you wish to leave everything to your family. That is the kind of will that the majority of people make. However, there are plenty of ways to make you will more interesting if you want to .To begin with ,you don't have to write it on paper. One man wrote his will on an envelope, another on the door, and a third on an egg. For some people, the most important part of their will is the part that says how they want to be buried. Mrs Sandra West, a rich widow form Texas, decided that she wanted to be buried with her favorite car. In 1973, Mr Green, a dentist from English, left most of his money to the nurse who worked for him if in 5 years she would not wear any kind of make-up or jewel or go out with men. Finally, let's hope that your will is not like that of Dr Wagner, who lived in America 100 years ago. His family, who had not been to see him for years, suddenly began to visit him when he became ill. What was worse, each person suggested Dr Wagner they would like something to remember him by when he died. Greatly annoyed with them. Dr Wagner wrote a will that would do this: To each of his four brothers, he left one of his legs or arms, His nephew got his noses and his two nieces each got an ear. His teeth went to his cousin. Then he set aside 1,000 dollars to pay for cutting his body and the rest of his money he left to the poor.
15. What kind of will do most people leave behind according to the passage?
16. What did the nurse have to do before getting the money left by the English dentist?

Passage Three录音稿
In recent years, there has been an unusually large number of divorces in the United States. In the past, when two people married each other, they intended to stay together for life. While today, many people marry believing that they can always get it divorce if the marriage does not work out. In the past, a large majority of the Americans frowned of the idea of divorce. Futhermore, many people believed that getting a divorce was a luxury that only the rich could afford. Indeed, getting a divorce was very expensive. However, since so many people have began to take a more casual view of marriage,it is interesting to know that the cost of getting a divorce are lower. In fact, wherever you go in the United States today, it is not unusual to see newspaper ads that provide information on how and where to get a cheap divorce. Hollywood has always been known as the divorce capital of the world. The divorce rate among the movie stars is so high that it is difficult to know who is married to whom. Today many movie stars change husbands and wives as though they were changing clothes.Until marriage again become the serious and important part of people's lives we will probably continue to see a high rate of divorce.
18. What did many Americans think of divorce in the past?
19. What is the attitude of many Americans to marriage today?
20. In the speaker's view, when will the high rate of divorce be brought down?
