24.听力原文：Botany, the study of plants, occupies a peculiar position in the history of human knowledge. For many thousands of years it was the one field of awareness about which humans bad anything more than the vaguest of insights. It is impossible to know today just what our Stone Age ancestors knew about plants, but from what we can observe of pre-industrial societies that still exist, a detailed learning of plants and their properties must be extremely ancient. This is logical.
Plants are the basis of the food pyramid for all living things, even for other plants. They have always been enormously important to the welfare of people, not only for food, but also for clothing, weapons, tools, dyes, medicines, shelter, and a great many other purposes. Tribes living today in the jungles of the Amazon recognize literally hundreds of plants and know many properties of each. To them, botany, as such, has no name and is probably not even recognized as a special branch of "knowledge" at all.
Unfortunately, the more industrialized we become, the farther away we move from direct contact with plants, and the less distinct our knowledge of botany grows. Yet everyone unconsciously has an amazing amount of botanical knowledge, and few people will fail to recognize a rose, an apple, or an orchid. Our Neolithic ancestors, living in the Middle East about 10,000 years ago, discovered that certain grasses could be harvested and their seeds planted for richer yields the next season. That was the first great step in a new association between plants and animals. Grains wore discovered and from them flowed the marvel of agriculture: cultivated crops.
(30)
A.Botany is a very ancient learning.
B.People in the Stone Age knew a lot about plants.
C.People in the Stone Age knew little about plants.
D.Pre-industrial societies have little insights about plants.
25.听力原文：M: I came as soon as you called. Is there a problem?

C.The management cut his working hours.
D.He was promoted.
26.听力原文：W: Sam. could you review the-results of the survey on leisure sporting activities again? We need to plan out our proposal for this Friday's business meeting.
M: Sure. I've summarized the results in the handout, broken down by consumer age groups and sporting activities. The survey was administered m 550 men and women between the ages of 18 and 55 years old, and 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: I see.
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: And what about these groups broken down by gender?
M: Oh. thanks for bringing that up. Men appear to be slightly more active than women in the 18 to 26 year-old age group, but women seem more active in the other three groups.
W: Hmm. Based on what you have 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 staying 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.
(23)
A.Leisure sporting activities.
B.Average age of athletes.
C.Durability of sporting equipment.
D.People's preference for sporting activities.

30.听力原文：W: Hello, listeners! Welcome to our program. Our today's guest is Dr. Howard Miller. Dr. Miller is a professor of Sociology at Washington University and has written numerous articles and books on the issues facing older Americans in our graying society for the past 15 years.
M: Thank you for that introduction.
W: Well, Dr. Miller, as a matter of fact, there are many issues facing aged people. Can you say something about those?
M: Well, first, I want to share a story of my own life. Several years ago when my grandparents were well into their eighties, they were faced with the reality of no longer being able to adequately care for them.
W: Yeah, that is quite a common and natural problem with aged people.
M: My grandfather spoke of his greatest fear, that of leaving the only home they had known for the past 60 years. The prospect of having to sell their home, giving up their independence and moving into a retirement home was an extremely depressing experience for them.
W: That's definitely sure.
M: He was quite sad, exclaiming that he felt he wasn't important anymore. W: Yeah, that's a quite natural feeling.
M: For them and some older Americans, this period of their lives means the decline of not only one's health but the loss of identity and serf-worth. In many societies, this serf-identity is closely related with our social status, occupation, material possessions, or independence.
W: So is there any way to help the elderly reestablish their serf-identity? M: Well, I think it is important to find some meaningful roles the elderly can and should play in our societies. By doing something for the society, they will feel they are still useful and important.
(23)

B.The problem of providing adequate medical care for the elderly.
C.An emotional problem facing the elderly and how to overcome it.

1.Should Class Attendance Be Optional? Those who have been to college lectures will find the following situation a con non sight: the classroom is half empty; those attending classes are not always listening to the teacher; some are texting their friends while others have fallen asleep. Such situation poses a question to us: should class attendance be compulsory or optional? To answer the question we should consider the nature and quality of courses and also the needs of the students. First of all we should consider what courses are put in the school curriculum. If they are well designed and suit the levels and needs of the students they should be made compulsory courses. Of course the teachers' professional and academic standards are also important in implementing course goals and ensuring desired outcome. Unnecessary courses and poor quality teaching can only lead to wasting time if students are forced to attend such courses. Secondly those students at the top of the class and most competitive in their learning and also capable of studying independantly do not have to attend all the courses offered by the school curriculum. They should be encouraged to learn more under the tutor's individual guidance instead of studying what they already know. In many world famous universities like Harvard and Cambridge students spend much less time attending lectures. They gain their knowledge and skills by reading and doing research work. In conclusion colleges should not force students to attend all courses without carefully considering the two factors discussed above. As a matter of fact to bring up students who can meet the demands of our new era our education needs reforming and traditional views on teaching and learning should be challenged. Only in this way can we hope to motivate more talented students to learn well and aim high in school and in their future jobs.Should Class Attendance Be Optional?

4.Ability and Good Looks Old people usually toll young people that they
should not judge people by their appearance. That means appearance is loss important than say ability. Indeed we've seen so many brilliant people who are not good-looking at all. In the film "Mozart" an opera singer reiterates this view by saying: "For a woman of taste it is not the looks but the talent that interests us." For her the preference shows one's taste. Nowadays however things are much different in the job market. With more and more interviewers putting emphasis on the looks or the appearance of the job applicants a lot of people come to the conclusion that appearance is more important than ability. Many beautiful girls acquire very good positions although they don't have much talent. In my opinion ability is definitely much more important than good looks not only because ability comes from efforts while good looks are born but also because ability is the most important factor that determines a person's value. Good looks are pleasant but if I have to make a choice between them I'll choose ability because it proves my value.Ability and Good Looks Old people usually toll young people that they should not judge people by their appearance.

5.Is a Diploma Everything? Nowadays there is a widely held belief that diploma is everything. Some people will gain a higher diploma at all costs and others force their children to get a higher diploma. This phenomenon can be explained by at least two reasons. On the one hand people believe a higher diploma can guarantee a prosperous future such as successful careers and respectable positions. On the other hand the diploma people hold is attached to too much importance. Having a diploma is a precondition for people to do almost everything for example to find a job to have a date with a girl. In my opinion it is no doubt that diploma is important because it shows a person's academic level and ability. However a diploma cannot prove everything no matter how high a diploma is. A higher diploma can only tell others that the holder has received this kind of education. As for whether he or she is competent in working and whether he or she is virtuous these still remain as questions.Is a Diploma Everything?

6.The table uses four broad economic indicators to show the standard of living in five selected countries in 2000 including both the most developed nation in the world and some of the much less developed nations. As can be seen from the statistics the U.S.A.—one of the richest countries in the world—had the highest GNP and daily calorie intake the longest life expectancy and the lowest infant mortality rate. The other developing countries had a considerably lower quality of life. Egypt Indonesia and Bolivia were similar in their range of indicators with Egypt having the highest quality of life among the three. However Egypt's infant mortality rate was slightly higher than Indonesia's at 40 deaths per 1000 compared to 31 in Indonesia. Bangladesh had by far the lowest quality of life in all the Four indicators. Its GNP was only about one-fortieth that of the U.S.A. The figure in terms of the daily calorie supply per head in Bangladesh is the half of that in U.S.A. and its infant mortality rate Was 6 times greater. In conclusion it can be seen from the economic indicators that the four developing countries have a 10ng way to go before reaching the same level of quality of life as the U.S.A. At the same time the U.S.A. has the responsibility to help the other countries to develop their economies and improve their people's living standards.The table uses four broad economic indicators to show the standard of living in five selected countries in 2000, including both the most developed nation in the world and some of the much less developed nations.

7.To Curb Spending The monthly expenditures of college students have been on the rise in the past few years. Some argue that if the students earn the money themselves how they spend it is none of other people's business and after all the general living standard keeps rising. However the fact is that most students live on the money their parents give them. The lure of a more comfortable and fashionable lifestyle--one with name brand clothing mobile phones MP3 and dining out or going to bars with a girlfriend--makes many to be frequent borrowers. In my opinion young students are sensitive to fashions and new trends thus they easily found it's impossible to make ends meet and run into debt. When a student's spending steps beyond the boundaries of daily necessities it becomes a kind of waste. Furthermore widespread extravagant spending on campus could have a bad influence on people's values. But many students see it as a common practice and not a fault. Though everyone has the right to enjoy a comfortable life campus is a place for study. So just think twice before you sign a bill.To Curb Spending The monthly expenditures of college students have been on the rise in the past few years.

9.Post-graduate Craze Cools Off The post-graduate craze has long since been
a hot issue on most campuses around the country. According to the statistics released by Shanghai Educational Test Institute 79299 students in Shanghai sat in for the post-graduate entrance exams in 2003 a dramatic rise of 32.6% over the previous year. The year of 2003 is the tenth year since the number of postgraduate test takers began to grow rapidly and steadily. However since then the rising line has gradually plateaued year by year with a modest rise of 6.7% 1.8% 2.1% respectively in 2004 2005 2006. In 2007 the number of test takers even dropped by 6.5% in comparison with 2006. All these statistics point to an interesting phenomenon the post-graduate test after a ten-year craze is starting to cool off. Three major factors account for the cooling off of the post-graduate craze. One is the post- graduate education reform. Post-graduate students used to enjoy a modest government subsidy for their three year studies. But according to the new graduate program they have to pay for all their living and learning expenses. Faced with the rising education costs some students hesitate to apply for the teat. Another factor is the pressure from the increasingly competitive jo
b market. Many students used to believe that the more education they received the better job opportunities they would have. With the expanded enrollment for both undergraduates and post- graduates job hunt becomes more and more difficult. Many students fear that when they。
