歌曲 Sealed with a kiss

Though we're gonna say goodbye for the summer

darling I promise you this

I'll send you all my love everyday in a letter sealed with kiss

Cause it's gonna be a cold lonely summer

But I'll fill the emptiness I'll send you all my love

Everyday in a letter sealed with a kiss

I'll see you in the sunlight

I'll hear your voice everywhere

I'll run to tenderly hold you

But darling you won't be there

I don't wanna say goodbye for the summer

Knowing the love we'll miss

Oh let us make a pledge to meet in September

And sealed with a kiss

Sealed with a kiss sealed with a kiss

注：wanna=want to

gonna=going to

歌曲 Take me home, Country Roads

John Denver

Almost heaven, West Virginia

Blue Ridge Mountains

Shenandoah River

Life is old there

Older than the trees

Younger than the mountains

Growing like a breeze

Country Roads, take me home

To the place I belong

West Virginia, mountain momma

Take me home, country roads

All my memories gathered 'round her

Miner's lady, stranger to blue water

Dark and dusty, painted on the sky

Misty taste of moonshine

Teardrops in my eye

Country Roads, take me home

To the place I belong

West Virginia, mountain momma

Take me home, country roads

I hear her voice

In the morning hour she calls me

The radio reminds me of my home far away

And driving down the road I get a feeling

That I should have been home yesterday, yesterday

Country Roads, take me home

To the place I belong

West Virginia, mountain momma

Take me home, country roads

Take me home, country roads

Take me home, country roads

注：down 往南去

up 往北去

11. A) They often take place in her major industries.

B) British trade unions are more powerful.

C) There are more trade union members in Britain.

D) Britain loses more working days through strikes every year.

12. A) Such strikes are against the British law.

B) Such strikes are unpredictable.

C) Such strikes involve workers from different trades.

D) Such strikes occur frequently these days.

13. A) Trade unions in Britain are becoming more popular.

B) Most strikes in Britain are against the British law.

C) Unofficial strikes in Britain are easier to deal with now.

D) Employer- worker relations in Britain have become tenser.

Strikes are very common in Britain. They are extremely harmful to its industries. In fact, there are other countries in Western Europe that lose more working days through strikes every year than Britain. The trouble with the strikes in Britain is that they occur in essential industries. There are over 495 unions in Britain. Some unions are very small. Over 20 have more than 100, 000 members. Unions do not exist only to demand higher wages. They also educate their mem¬bers. They provide benefits for the sick and try to improve working conditions. Trade unioners say that we must thank the unions for the great improvement in working conditions in the last hundred years. It is now against the law for union members to go on strike without the support of their union. This kind of strike is called the unofficial strike and was common until recently. Em¬ployers feel that unofficial strikes were most harmful because they would not be predicted. How¬ever, these unofficial strikes still occur from time to time and some unions have also refused to co¬operate with the law. As a result, the general picture of the relations between workers and em¬ployers in Britain has gone from bad to worse.

Questions 11 to 13 are based on the passage you have just heard.

11. In what way are strikes in Britain different from those in other European countries?（开头）

12. Why are British employers so afraid of unofficial strikes?（most, because）

13. What conclusion can be drawn from this passage? （结尾As a result）

注：Unions do not exist only to demand higher wages. 【否定转移】

[P49-Two]

15. A) How to handle spiders.

B) Spiders in the United States.

C) People' s fear of spiders.

D) A special kind of spider.

16. A) Most spiders will not bite even when handled.

B) Most spiders are poisonous and dangerous.

C) Most spiders are likely to attack people.

D) Most spiders have sharp eyes.

17. A) Because she cannot find a husband for herself.

B) Because the female spider is larger than the male one.

C) Because the female spider often eats her husband.

D) Because she is a black female spider.



You should not fear spiders because of their poison. Of all the spiders in North America, only one kind is really dangerous and most would not bite even if they were handled. They much prefer to run away or to drop to the ground on a thread of silk. Even so, when a spider runs directly toward a person, it gives the impression that it is about to attack. Actually, it cannot see the person in its way. The spider is too shortsighted to see things at a distance. It only wants to go where it will not be disturbed. In the United States one kind of spider is responsible for the frightening reputation of the rest. It is the Black Widow. So called because the female, which is larger than the male, often eats her husband after making love. The Black Widow is found in all states but is most common in the south and the west. She constructs a loose, irregular web under a pile of rowans or near the foundations of buildings where she is seldom disturbed. She is not an attacking spider and many people have proven this by letting her crawl over their hands. When she bites, it is usually in self-defence. In spite of the stories you may have heard, it is rare for a person to be bitten by a Black Widow and even more unusual for the bite to prove fatal. But remember that her poison is powerful and even though she is shy, she should be respected.

Questions 15 to 17 are based on the passage you have just heard.

15. What is this passage mainly about?

16. What do we learn about spiders from the passage?（only, most）

17. Why is the spider you just heard about called the Black Widow?（because）
