They flew to London and arrived at their hotel late one evening. They expected that they would have to go to bed hungry, because in that small inn in New Jersey no meals were served after seven. They were therefore surprised when the man who received them in the hall asked whether they would ask dinner there that night.
"Are you still serving dinner？" asked Mr. Smith.
"Yes, certainly, sir," answered the man. "We serve it until half past nine."
"What are the times of meals then？" asked Mr. Smith.
"Well, Sir," answered the man, "We serve breakfast from seven to half past eleven in the morning, lunch from twelve to three in the afternoon, tea from four to five and dinner, from six to half past nine."
"But that hardly leaves any time for us to see the sights of London." Said Mrs. Smith.
Mr. and Mrs. Smith ______ in the past.
A．had often stayed in a big hotel in New Jersey
B．had traveled to many places
C．had often stayed in a small inn

听力原文：W: So what are the two main times of the day that you watch TV？
M: Well, a little around breakfast time and then it tends to be really late— eleven or even midnight—when I've finished work.
W: And what sort of programs do you go for？
M: Some news bulletins but I also really like to put my feet up with some of the old comedy shows.
W: Fine. And turning to the new channel...which type of programs would you like to see more of？
M: Well, I certainly don't think we need any more factual programs like news and documentaries. I think we need more about things like local in formation...you know, providing a service for the community. And in the same vein, perhaps more for younger viewers...you know, good quality stuff.
W: Ah ha. And if you had to give the new directors some specific advice when they set up the channel, what advice would you give theme
M: I think I'd advice them to pay more attention to the quality of the actual broadcast, you know, the sound system. They ought to do lots more of these kinds of interview, you know, talking with their potential customers.
W: Oh, I'm glad you think it's valuable!
M: Certainly...yeah.
W: Good. Ok, this will be a commercial channel of course, but how often do you think it is tolerable to have adverts？
M: Well out of that list I'd say every quarter of an hour. I don't think we can complain about that, as long as they don't last for ten minutes each time!
W: Quite. And…would you be willing to attend any of our special promotions for the new channel？
M: Yes, I'd be very happy to, as long as they're held here in my area.
W: Thank you very much for your time.

(80) Other experts feel that giving the worker freedom to do his job in his own way is important. There is no doubt that this is true. The problem is that this kind of freedom cannot easily be given in the modem factory with its complicated machinery which must be used in a fixed way. Thus, although freedom of choice may be important, usually very little can be done to create it.
Another important consideration is how much a worker contributes to the product he is making. In most factories the worker sees only one small part of the product. Some car factories are now experimenting with having many small production lines rather than a large one, so that each worker contributes more to the production of the cars on his line. It would seem that not only is degree of the worker's contribution an important factor, therefore, it is also one we can do something about. To what extent does more money lead to greater productivity？ The workers themselves certainly think this is important. But perhaps they want more money only because the work they do is so boring. Money just lets them enjoy their spare time more. A similar argument may explain demands for shorter working hours. Perhaps if we make their jobs more interesting, they will want neither more money nor shorter working hours.
Varied jobs, in writer's opinion, will ______.
A．offer greater productivity
B．drive workers to work harder
C．make workers more productive
D．make worker's life more enjoyable, but do not make them more hardworking
W：But frozen foods are convenient and handy．aren't they？ Just think of all tile tedious work we would have to do in the kitchen if it weren't for frozen foods and the like．
M：Yes．that's true! (20)But you spend much more time cooking and preparing meals in your country than we do in Britain．don't you？
W：Yes．I suppose we do．You make less fuss about food than we do．In my own country，we have two big meals a day，that is，lunch and dinner，and we spend a lot of time preparing them．(21)Here in Britain，you have only one big meal a day, apart from breakfast and lunch snack, and you spend much less time preparing it．
M：Yes，but we're just as fond of good and delicious food as you are．
W：Well, you certainly don't show it!
M：We do fuss about our meals sometimes，and remenber，we like to eat out on special occasions，such as weekend evenings．birthday parties and other celebrations．London is full of foreign restaurants where you can get all the exotic dishes of the world．You must come out with us one evening，Lisa．
W：Thank you very much，I'd love to．That's what I like about London．(22)There's always so much to see and do!I think I made a wise decision when I chose to live and study in London．

Freedom has many meanings arid applications. There is political freedom, involving the ability to choose one's own form. of government, hold elections, etc. Professors are concerned with academic freedom, namely to teach and publish in accord with their scholarly findings. These, though, are secondary meanings and presumably are grounded in something fundamental to the nature of humans. This is called moral freedom—but there's the rub of it. Is such freedom an illusion？ One cannot ignore Sigmund Freud's massive unconscious as a factor in why we act the way we do. Moreover, psychological literature suggests" obsessive-compulsive" acts as more commonplace than we realize. Alcoholics and drug addicts are told they cannot help themselves; instead, they need others to help them break their habit. Let's face it, we seem to be evolving into a "no fault" society in which freedom is an empty term.
It certainly is easy to rationalize that this or that action really was not free, as one can say we are the product of our genes, passions, and culture. But Jean-Paul Sartre disagreed that freedom is an illusion, claiming instead that it is the very essence of man. Freedom is a human's distinguishing mark. Essentially, a human is nothing, and therein lies his freedom.
Although freedom may not be an illusion, in many cases it is illusory. Is it true to say piously (虔诚地) that the cure for any ills in democracy is more democracy, i.e. freedom？ The Patriot Act certainly raises many hackles as an infringement(侵犯) on freedom; trading civil liberties for security—part of a seemingly continuing trend in society. How strong is the argument that if we are not free, then laws and prohibitions make no sense？ Does knowledge, a seemingly necessary component involved in free acts, restrict or enlarge our freedom？ The Socratic position is that, if one really knew what was right, one would do what was right.
Moslems maintain that it is the "will of Allah" that governs all things and we only can hope to conform. to it. This is not entirely foreign to Christian theology. The problem of predestination is a formidable one challenging freedom, maintaining as it does that, even before creation.
Like most dilemmas posed by philosophy, perhaps it should be taken with reserve: "All arguments", concluded 19th-century philosopher and psychologist William James, "are against freedom; all experience is for it".
The phrase "free of their freedom" (Line 3, Paragraph1) can be paraphrased as ______
A．released from responsibility.
B．getting rid of their freedom.
C．gaining absolute freedom.
D．free from being controlled.

Directions: Read the following four texts. Answer the questions below each text by choosing A, B, C or D. (40 points)
The discovery of life beyond Earth would transform. not only our science but also our religions, our belief systems and our entire world-view. For in a sense, the search for extraterrestrial life is really a search for ourselves—who we are and what our place is in the grand sweep of the cosmos.
Contrary to popular belief, speculation that we are not alone in the universe is as old as philosophy itself. The essential steps in the reasoning were based on the atomic theory of the ancient Greek philosopher Democritus. Yet philosophy is one thing, filling in the physical details is another. Although astronomers increasingly suspect that biofriendly planets may be abundant in the universe, the chemical steps leading to life remain largely mysterious.
Traditionally, biologists believed that life is a freak—the result of a zillion-to-one accidental concatenation of molecules. It follows that the likelihood of its happening again elsewhere in the cosmos is infinitesimal. This viewpoint derives from the second law of thermodynamics, which predicts that the universe is dying—slowly and inexorably degenerating toward a state of total chaos. And similar reasoning applies to evolution. According to the orthodox view, Darwinian selection is utterly blind. Any impression that the transition from microbes to man represents progress is pure chauvinism of our part. The path of evolution is merely a random walk through the realm of possibilities.
If this is right, there can be no directionality, no innate drive forward; in particular, no push toward consciousness and intelligence. Should Earth be struck by an asteroid, destroying all higher life-forms, intelligent beings would almost certainly not arise next time around. There is, however, a contrary view—one that is gaining strength and directly challenges orthodox biology. It is that complexity can emerge spontaneously through a process of self-organization. If matter and energy have an inbuilt tendency to amplify and channel organized complexity, the odds against the formation of life and the subsequent evolution of intelligence could be drastically shortened.
Historically, Bertrand Russell argued that a universe under a death sentence from the second law of thermodynamics rendered human life ultimately futile. All our achievements, all our struggles, "all the noonday brightness of human genius", as he put it, would, in the final analysis, count for nothing if the very cosmos itself is doomed. But what if, in spite of the second law of thermodynamics, there can be systematic progress alongside decay？ For those who hope for a deeper meaning or purpose beneath physical existence, the presence of extraterrestrial life-forms would provide a spectacular boost, implying that we live in a universe that is in some sense getting better and better rather than worse and worse.
The writer organizes his ideas in the text mainly by
A．justifying popular beliefs.
B．making comparisons.
C．looking back on history.
D．posing sharp contrasts.
