北京林业大学研究生英语学位考听力参考资料Unit 1 HolidaysIntroduce one of your favorite holidays.Spring festival is my favorite holidays. I The festival is considered the most important one for Chinese people. It is on the first day of lunar year. It is also the day of reunion among family members. During these days, people would say "happy new year! or wish you make fortune! to each other. They would also visit their relatives and friends. Children would be given "red packets". Children would have more to eat and play than usual .Playing firecrackers is also a popular game for children.Unit 2 TravelIntroduce one of the tourist attractions in the world or China.The strange pines, absurd stones, sea of clouds and hot springs are the four wonders of Mt. Huangshan.Huangshan pines are seen in every corner of Mt. Huangshan. You will be amazed by their vitality and strength.Spectacular rocky peaks will inspire your imagination. Some look like human beings, animals or many other objects.The clouds are forever changing, from being like a mirror when all is calm to rolling waves when the wind is strong.To be able to refresh yourself in the hot springs on Mt. Huangshan must be one of the best ways of enjoyment and relaxation.Unit 3 EducationState your ideas on college education reforms in China.In China, college education has carried out reforms for several years. From the difficulty of graduates’ job hunting, we can see some problems on college education.First, it is good for college education paying more attention to students’ all-around development. But students always have an inaccurate recognition on it. They spend more time on campus activities and less time on specialty study. And their aim of study is just to get credits.Second, the exam in college especially the specialty exam is too easy compared to the need of application. If the colleges have strict standards for qualified graduates, maybe the students will study harder and master skills.Third, the college should provide as many practices as possible for students. The best way of study is to combine theory to practice. And it is the best method to examine the students’ level. Chinese education system has long been criticized of obliterating personality. The exam-oriented education ranked students more by their memory than creative minds. n being.Unit 4 TransportationTalk about the causes of Beijing’s traffic jams and some suggestions to solve the problem.1 With people's needs for transport facilities increasing substantially over the past few years,the road network in Beijing is far from rational. Population increasing2 In Beijing, most of the important political, commercial and cultural locations are concentrated in the area within the Fourth Ring Road and this is a root cause of today's heavy traffic load, according to Liu.3 private cars increasingSuggestions1.The commission is also working on plans to strengthen administration of both the transport industry and traffic order, 4 at the same time fostering a modern traffic consciousness among citizens.2 public transport using3 Construction of road infrastructure ,just like the overpass 4Unit 5 ComputersIs the booming of the Internet a blessing or a curse?On the positive side, the emergence of the Internet to make person-to-person communication more convenient in various forms.People could send E-mail,chat though instant messenger and logon the bbs to find the people they want to talk as well as to get useful information they need.Take ourselves for examples, if we are going to write thesis,we haveto search for lots of papers already been published.In this way it made our work easier.Another advantage is the online shops.Because there is no more rent, water and electricity fees topay,maybe the online shopping will be a bit cheaper.On the other side,we also have to admit that the network has brought us a number of negative factors. The Internet is inundated with ungraceful pictures and videos.At the sametime due to the well-developed search engines, it is easy to divulge private information.In China, "human meat search" is well-known for figuring out some bad guys have done bad things.Just because they have left few pieces information, a group of specilized people would find out their name, age, address or even their primary school report card.Online shopping also have disadvantages,for example, you can't try on the clothes or the shoes you want to buy,thereare online cheating and so much trouble in rejecting the goods.Unit 6 EnvironmentTalk about a major environmental problem in China.Nowadays the urgent environmental problem faced in China is connected with the water. Although from the whole nation China is rich in water resources, the average water consumption per person is only 1/4 compared with the world average level. According a recent survey,bothcities and villeges are suffered from water shortage, about 400 out of 660 cities lack water,with 136 having reported sever water shortage. The distribution of water resources is also not balancing, the south faces floods, while the north is drought.Not only lack in quantity, but also significant problem in the quality. Now the country is facing the fact that in partial improvement but overall still devastating. Water pollution could cause many other things,such as the sequencing environmental pollution, strained water resources and other public hazards.I remember in 2005,the leak of a chemical factory polluted the Songhuajiang.Not only affected the Chinese, but also neiboring Russian residents. The goverment paid a lot on this accident.Unit 7 SportsWhat has the Olympics 2008 brought to Beijing?In my own opinion,there are both positive and negtive influences to China.Because of the long history and bright culture,many foreigners are astonished by the 2008 Olympics opening ceremony.And there is no doubt that excellent jobs done by the numerous volunteers also win their deserved respects.Fortunately, I was a volunteer working at......Of course,the game brought many unfavorable memories.During the Olympics,there were many traffic restrictions and lots of the citizens had to change their schedual to go to work...The increasing numble of tourists also caused a heavy burden to the environment. Spent a lot of human and material resources,Inevitable wastage,Unit 8 Food and RestaurantsMake some comments on Chinese food and its culture.China is a country of great population,long history as well as vast territory.Due to the diversity of the climate,products and customs,there are widely different food styles and taste in local regions.There are four major dishes enjoy upper reputation.Color smelting taste is the features of Chinese food. Vivid kinds of restaurants judgement to a personUnit 9 Science and TechnologyDescribe one of your favorite scientific inventions widely used in life.NotebookUnit 10 JobsMake some comments on the difficulty of job hunting for college graduates.From the subjective aspects, there are two major facors resulting from the phenomenon.In myopinion,the key problem is that many graduates waste their time in colleges,and don't learn anything useful for their career.They lack ablities, so they can't find a job.I don't belive the student who done an excellent work both in study and social activities would acknowledge hard to find a occupation after graduate.I do not deny that the objective facts also exist.The high enrollment of college education cause the diploma less and less valuable.And also it is a pitty that the world economy is in the depreesion.Many cooperations reduce their bussiness which means not only they would downsizing there scale,but also recruit less employees。

You are encouraged to answer as many questions as possible within the time allowed.Passage OneQuestions 11 to 15 are based on the following passage.The human footprint has become so large that it now leaves a permanent mark on the planet. We dominate Earth, changing its climate, destroying natural habitats and wiping out other species. The effects of our actions are not only visible on land but also extend to the oceans, where we have disrupted marine ecosystems.Our interference with the oceans has led to various problems, one of which is overfishing. According to a recent report released by the United Nations, over 90% of the world's fish stocks are currently overfished or fished to their biological limits, with only 7.1% considered to be at healthy levels.Overfishing is a result of excessive fishing efforts driven by increased demand for fish and improved fishing technologies. Large commercial fishing fleets, equipped with advanced equipment, are causing significant damage to marine ecosystems. These fleets often use large nets and long lines that can catch large quantities of fish in a single operation, but also catch many other marine animals, known as bycatch. Bycatch includes dolphins, turtles, seabirds, and other non-targeted species, many of which are endangered or protected.Furthermore, our demand for certain fish species has caused severe population declines and even the collapse of some fisheries. For example, the Atlantic Bluefin Tuna population has declined rapidly due to its high market value, leading to strict fishing regulations being imposed.In order to protect our oceans and preserve marine ecosystems, it is crucial to address the issue of overfishing. This requires international cooperation, improved fisheries management, and responsible consumer choices. By adopting sustainable fishing practices and supporting fishery regulations, we can ensure the long-term health and sustainability of our oceans.11. What does the author say about the human footprint?12. What is one of the problems caused by our interference with the oceans?13. What do we learn about overfishing from the recent UN report?14. What is mentioned as a cause of overfishing?15. What does the author suggest to address the issue of overfishing?篇三:完形填空Section CDirections: For each blank in the following passage, there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C, and D.

Unit 1Section Conversational SkillsDirections: Listen to a lecture on how to be a good conversationalist. Make notes to complete the outline below.Have you wished you were better at making a conversation? A great conversationalist is someone who connects with people and makes them feel important. When they talk to you, they make you feel like you're the only person in the room.Becoming a good conversationalist requires knowing three things: first, how to start a conversation; second, how to keep it going; and third, how to end it.Starting a conversation usually means coming up with an opening line or ice breaker. The best kind of ice breaker is one that's positive. A compliment is always a good ice breaker and will usually be appreciated. Any news event is a good ice breaker. The fact is, any opening line will do, as long as it's not negative, and as long as it's not a lie. The best way to entice a person to have a conversation with you is by being sincere and respectful, and letting them know that you are interested in talking to them.Once you've got a conversation going, the best way to keep it going is by asking the other person questions that don't require just a yes or no answer. Ask questions similar to those a reporter might ask to draw a person out; who, what, when, where, why and how questions. You keep asking questions based on the last thing a person says. This is called the "elaboration technique". Once you hit on something you find interesting, keep asking questions in order to get the person to elaborate about the topic as much as possible. A good conversationalist elaborates on the experiences they've had. Instead of saying the party was fun, tell why it was fun. Describe why you had a good time—who was there, what happened, where it was, and how people arranged the party. Go into detail. Description is the best form of communication because it keeps people's interest up and stimulates them.If you started a conversation with another person, and you're having difficulty ending it, there are several signals you can send to the other person that will bring the conversation to its close without hurting anyone's feelings.Breaking eye contact is a discreet signal that the conversation is about to end. Another way to signal is to use transition words like well, or at any rate. You may want to recap all that was said. Whatever you do, don't lie to the other person. If you're not interested in talking to them again, don't mention the possibility of a future meeting just to be polite. That's hypocritical. Instead, you may want to say, "Nice meeting you." And then, leave.Finally, be sure to give the other person a good, firm handshake. The final impression you make can be just as important as the initial one you made.Part III Listening Comprehension TestDirections:In this section, you will hear ten short conversations about occupations, locations and relationships between two speakers. After you have heard each conversation, try to choose the best answer.l. W: Did you go to the lecture given byAlan Shepherd from NASA yesterday?M:Yes. And I was very interested in it. 1 hope that someday I can travel to the outer space myself.Q; Who is Alan Shepherd according to the conversation?2. M: I keep hearing the name Lucky Bumper. He sounds like a terrible person. Who ishe?W; He isn't a real person. There is a TV show called "All in the Family". Lucky Bumper is the father.Q: Who is Lucky Bumper?3. M: Don't worry about the meter ma'am. It's broken. I'll charge you a flat two dollars for the ride.W: If the traffic is this every day, it's worth twice as much.Q: What is the man's profession?4. W: I'm glad you could come today. The drain became stopped up yesterday afternoon.M: Don't worry. I'll have it open for you in no time.W: What is die man?5.W: Would you mind sending champagne and strawberries to my room at 1 a.m., please?M; I'll try, Mam, but on Wednesday the kitchen staff leave at midnight.Q: Where does the conversation probably take place?6. M: Before Sam built his house, he was living on a boat; and then in a tent.W: Don't forget that just before he moved in, he stayed at the hotel.Q: Where did Sam live first?7. M; Mrs. Smith, the heating in our apartment is broken again- It's freezing up here. W: I'm sorry to hear that, Mr. Reed. I'll get someone to fix it right away.M: We pay our rent on time every month, but there is always something wrong with the apartment.W: I'm sorry you've been disturbed. I'll try to change new heaters for you this time. Q: What is the probable relationship between the two speakers?8. M: Well, we need some temporary labor in our packing department. Just for a shorttime; but the job will be rather monotonous.Unit 2Section Q American EtiquetteDirections:Listen to a talk on American etiquette on certain social occasions. At the end of the talk, there will be three questions. After each question, there will be a pause. During the pause, you must choose the best answer from the four choices given for each question.In general, it's polite to say "Congratulations!" (with a lot of enthusiasm) whena person has accomplished something- Examples of these kinds of occasions include graduation, Job promotion, the birth of a child, and the purchase of a home. When congratulations are in order, it is sometimes also appropriate to give a gift, especially when invited to a birthday, graduation, wedding, or anniversary party.An invitation may say RSVP on the bottom, an abbreviation that refers to a French expression meaning "respond, please". If the invitation says, "RSVP regrets only," respond by mail or by phone only if you cannot come.Equal attention must be given to good manners on sad occasions. If a coworker, classmate, or neighbor experiences a death in the family, it is appropriate to express sympathy. In doing so, the words die or death should be avoided. It is best to simply say, "1 was so sorry to hear about your loss." It's also customary to send a sympathy card, but if you don't know the mourner's religion, be sure to select a card without religious symbols. Most customs regarding mourning relate to the family's religion and vary from one group to another, so don't send flowers or food unless you know it's appropriate.The simple words "I'm sorry" display good manners in a great many difficult social situations. "I'm sorry" has two main uses: (1) to express sympathy to someone who has had a bad experience; (2) to express regret for bothering someone or causing a problem. Other expressions of apology are "Excuse me" and "Pardon me". Use one of these expressions when you are trying to get out of a crowded elevator or stopping a stranger to ask directions.Question 1: According to the talk, on what occasions is it especially appropriate to give a gift?Question 2: When you receive an invitation which says RSVP, what are you expected to do?Question 3: Which of the following behaviors is appropriate for you when you hear your friend experiences a death?Part III Listening Comprehension TestDirections:In this section, you will hear ten short conversations about offer and request between two speakers. After you have heard each conversation, try to choose the best answer.1. M: Would you care for a biscuit?W: Not just at the moment, thank you. I'd rather have another piece of cake if I may.Q: What does the woman want now?2. W: How annoying! I can't figure out a solution to this problem. Can you helpme?M: Well, I'm afraid I can't at the moment.Q: What does the man mean?3. W: What can I do for you, gentleman? Maybe you like this suit, because the colormatches your skin and it is the latest fashion.M: Yes, it's really a good suit and it's of good color. But I Just walk around and watch. Thank you just the same.Q: What did the man accept?4. W: Your garden is too dry, and it needs water. Let me give you a hand to waterthe flower first.M: The garden is dry and I'm drier, would you fetch me some water please?Q: What did the man offer?5. M: The room is too stuffy, let me turn on the ventilator for you and air the room. W: Yes, it's too smoky here and I can hardly breathe.Q: If the woman accepts the man's offer, what will the man do?6. M: What's the matter?W; I have heard some strange engine noise when I'm driving 30 miles per hour.M: Why don't you call the Car Talk program provided by the radio station?

What is the probable relationship between the man and woman?3. M. How was your date last night?W.

Well, a lot of students major in one discipline and minor in another, they don’t necessarily need to be related.Q. What does the woman advice the man to do?Section B:Mini-talk oneWhy do brides need something old, new, borrowed, and blue? This question is linked to a British poem with guidance for what a woman should wear on her wedding day to have good luck. The poem goes like this: "Something old, something new, something borrowed, something blue, and a sixpence in her shoe."Like many old traditions, it is not easy to say exactly where this saying comes from. The Oxford Dictionary of Superstitions says the poem dates back to the 19th century. But the belief in the good luck of wearing blue is much older. Since ancient times, blue was thought to represent loyalty and purity in some cultures.Wedding websites offer different explanations for the meaning behind this poem. They suggest that wearing something old represents the bride's link to her family and the past. Many women may choose to wear a piece of jewelry that belonged to a mother or grandmother.Wearing something new is said to bring good luck and success. For many brides, their wedding dress is thenew object they wear.Wearing something borrowed is said to serve as a reminder that the bride can depend on the support of her family and friends. So she might borrow a piece of clothing or jewelry from a friend or family member.There are many choices for what to wear that is blue. We asked several married women what their "blue" item was for their wedding. One woman said she wore light blue shoes. Another said she wore a blue garter around her leg. One wedding planning website suggested that a modern bride could paint her toenails blue or get a blue tattoo.The Oxford Dictionary of Superstitions says a bride would wear "a silver sixpence in her shoe" to have wealth. But it says the silver could also protect the bride from evil coming from her former boyfriends. However, putting a silver sixpence inside a shoe is generally not a tradition followed by brides in the United States.10. Why do brides wear something old according to the tradition?11. What has blue be thought to represent since ancient time?12. Which of the following is generally not a tradition followed by brides in the United States?Mini-talk twoPhysical activity may help students do better in their classes.The research comes as educators in some countries are reducing time for activities like physical education. They are using the time instead for academic subjects like math and reading.Researchers at VU University Medical Center in Amsterdam reviewed the results of fourteen studies. Twelve were from the United States, one from Canada and one from South Africa. The studies appeared between nineteen ninety-seven and two thousand nine. They included more than fifty-five thousand children, ages six to eighteen.Researcher Amika Singh says the studies showed a link between physical activity and scores on subjects such as math, English and reading. And conclude that being physically active is beneficial for academic performance.Ms. Singh offers some possible explanations."There are, first, physiological explanations, like more blood flow, and so more oxygen to the brain. Being physically active means there are more hormones that make your stress level lower and your mood improved, which means you also perform better."Also, students involved in organized sports learn rules and how to follow them. This could improve their classroom behavior and help them keep their mind on their work.The study leaves some questions unanswered, however. Ms. Singh says it is not possible to say whether the amount or kind of activity affected the level of academic improvement. This is because of difference among the studies.Also, they were mostly observational studies.An observational study is where researchers do not do controlled comparisons.They only describe what they observe. So they might observe a link that students who are more active often have better grades. But that does not necessarily mean being active was the cause of those higher grades.Still, the general finding was that physically activekids are more likely to do better in school. Ms. Singh says schools should consider that finding before they cut physical education programs.13. Why do educators in some countries cut physical education programs?14. Why are organized sports beneficial for academic performance?15. Which of the following is one of the unanswered questions?Section COften there are surely only one thing standing between your sensitive information and criminals, your password. If they get it, they can get into the bank accounts and private files and get your money. Your job is to create a password that is very hard to guess.Here is how. Your first thought may be to use a pet's name, a birth date, an address or part of the telephone number. These things are too easy for criminals to discover. So don't use them. Your password should not include information about you.Safely, there are ways that are memorable but hard to guess passwords.Consider this,in addition to single word, phrases can also be easy to remember. Maybe it is a favourite song lyric or quote. An example of is "Jack and Joan went up the hill", that is easy to remember, right? Well, your password is there, it is the first letter of each word, and this is an example, this will be your password. That is not something is easily guessed. Here is why. First, it is not in the dictionary. This makes guessing it harder. There are about 60,000 words in English, a computer can test up those words very quickly, so don't use them. But there are more. This password can still be stronger by adding upper-case letters, numbers or special characters.So now this is a very strong password, but there is still a risk. If you write it down, be careful where you keep it .Be aware that somebody can look over your shoulder or find it in your trash. Giving it to a loved one is also risky. They may not be as cautious as you are. Only you should know your password. Criminal may also try to fool you into handing it over via phone calls. Never tell anyone your password over the phone. And be careful when you get an email that asks for a password. It could be a deception.To help avoid problems, don't use the same password everywhere, that's like having one key that locks everything you own. The stakes are high if you lose it. Also, be careful if you use a computer that is not yours, a lways remember to log out of each site you visit on the computer that isn't yours. Passwords are the essential part of life online, and if we are not careful about keeping them secret, they can cause big problems. By understanding the risks, and making passwords stronger, we can feel a little more secure.。

The newest is Cornell, which was founded in eighteen sixty-five.Ivy League (Ivies, Ancient Eight) The term Ivy League can also be used to describe a sports grouping of the eight schools. The schools are alsocalled the Ivies.Many language experts believe that the term first appeared in the media.In the nineteen-thirties, a sports reporter called the schools in the grouping, the \League.\ The group also had an unofficial name -- \AncientEight.\National Collegiate Athletic Association officially uses the term Ivy League.Why the reporter used the term is not completely clear. Some people saythe term is linked to the ivy plant. And ivy does cover some of the groundsand buildings at the schools. Other people say the term dates back to whenonly four of the schools were part of the sports group. The number four was written in roman numerals, the letters \.\explanation is incorrect.The term Ivy League is sometimes said in a disapproving way. Some people think the eight schools and their students value themselves too highly. Admission to the schools is very competitive. As little as seven percent of students who seek admission are accepted.感谢您的阅读,祝您生活愉快。

At the end of each talk, there will be some questions. Both the talks and the questions will be read to you only once. After eachquestion, there will be a pause. During the pause, you must choose the best answerfrom the four choices given by marking the corresponding letter with a single baracross the square brackets on your machine-scoring Answer Sheet.Mini-talk OneA new book called "Battle Hymn of the Tiger Mother" by Amy Wang has caused a debate about cultural differences in parenting. Ms. Wang is a professor at the Yale Law School in New Haven, Connecticut, and the mother of two daughters. She was raised in the American Midwest by immigrant Chinese parents.In the Chinese culture, the tiger represents strength and power. In her book, Ms. Wang writes about how she demanded excellence from her daughters. For example, she threatened to burn her daughter's stuffed animals unless she played a piece of music perfectly. She would insult her daughters if they failed to meet her expectations.Ms. Wang had a clear list of what her daughters, Sophia and Louisa, were not permitted to do."Attend a sleepover, have a play date, watch TV or play computer games, be in a school play, get any grade less than an A."Many people have criticized Amy Wang. Some say her parenting methods were abusive. Ms. Wang makes fun of her own extreme style of parenting. She says she eased some of the pressure after her younger daughter rebelled and shouted "I hate my life! I hate you!"But she also says American parents often have low expectations of their children's abilities. The stirring of this intense debate has to do with what does it mean to be a successful parent and what does it mean to be a successful child.Amy Wang's parenting style is not limited to Chinese families. She says it represents a traditional way of parenting among immigrants seeking a better future for their children.Some educators also see a risk. When children have no time to be social or to follow their own interests, they might not develop other skills that they need to succeed in life. They advise parents to develop their own style of parenting and not just repeat the way they were raisedQuestion10: What does tiger represent in the Chinese culture?Question 11: Which of the following were the two girls allowed to do?Question 12: What is true about Amy Wang’s parenting style?Mini-talk TwoThe largest and most popular shopping mall in the United States is the Mall of America. It is in Bloomington, Minnesota, in the north-central part of the country near the twin cities of Minneapolis and Saint Paul. It opened in nineteen ninety-two and cost six hundred fifty million dollars to build.Each year about forty million people visit the Mall of America. Mall officials say four out of ten people who visit have traveled long distances.Many people stay several days when they visit the mall. There are more than forty hotels within eight kilometers.The Mall of America has more than five hundred twenty stores. It also has more than fifty places to eat. If you lined up all the stores side by side, they would cover a distance of almost seven kilometers. If you stayed only ten minutes in each store, it would take over eighty-six hours to complete your visit.When the owners designed the mall, they wanted it to be more than just a place to shop and eat. So they made entertainment a big part of their plan. The Nickelodeon Universe is an indoor theme park. It has more than twenty-five rides including several roller coasters.Another popular part of the mall is the Underwater Adventures Aquarium. It holds about five thousand sea animals. Visitors walk through a ninety-one meter glass tube. Sharks and other ocean animals swim above and beside you as you walk through the tube.Some people who visit the Mall of America have other things on their mind besides sharks, shopping, eating and roller coasters. They go to the Chapel of Love to be married. More than five thousand couples have had their weddings at the Mall of America.Question 13: How much did it cost to build the Mall of America?Question 14: What is the name of the indoor theme park?Question 15: Which of the following might not be done in the Mall of America?Section C (1 point eachDirections: In this section you will hear a short lecture. Listen to the recording and complete the notes about the lecture. You will hear the recording twice. After the recording you areasked to write down your answers on the Answer Sheet. You now have 25 seconds toread the notes below.Too much anxiety about a test is commonly referred to as test anxiety. It is perfectly natural to feel some anxiety when preparing for and taking a test. In fact, a little anxiety can jump start your studying and keep you motivated. However, too much anxiety may block your performance. Youmay have difficulty demonstrating what you know during the test. What can you do? Here are five tips on how to reduce your test stress:Use a little stress to your advantage. Stress is your body’s warning mechanism——it’s a signal that helps you prepare for something important that’s about to happen. So use it to your advantage instead of reacting to the stress by dreading, complaining or complaining about the test with friends. Take an active approach let stress remind you to study well in advance of a test.Be prepared. Some students think that going to classes all should take to learn and to do well on tests. But there’s much more to learning than just hoping they soak everything up in class. That’s why good study habits and skills are so important and why no amount of criminal studying the night before a test can take the place of the deeper level of learning. That happens over time with regular study.Watch what you are thinking. If expecting to do well on the test can help you relax, what about when people expect they wo n’t do well? If you find yourself thinking negative thoughts, or place them with positive messages, not unrealistic positive messages of course but once that are practical and true. Such as:“I have studied hard and I know the material. So I’m ready to do the best I can.”Accept mistakes. Another thing you can do is to learn to keep you mistakes in perspective. Especially if you are a perfectionist or you turned to be hard on yourself. Everyone makes mistakes. Learning to tolerate small failures and mistakes is a valuable skill.Take care of yourself. It can help to learn ways to calm yourself down and get centered when you are tense or anxious. For some people, this might mean learning a simple braving exercise. Practicing braving exercises regularly when you are not stressed out helps your body see these exercises as a signal to relax, and of course, taking care of your health, such as getting enough sleep, exercise and healthy eats before a test can help keep your mind working at its best.This is the end of Listening Comprehension.。
