听力原文:W: Elizabeth Martin speaking.
M: Dr. Martin, my name is Mark Johnson. My roommate, Benjamin Jones, is in your art history class.
W: Uhm Art History 5027
M: Yes. Well, he is sick and won't be in your class today. He asked me to bring his term paper to your office.
W: OK, the paper is due by 3 o'clock.
M: I have a class from 12. I'll bring it to your office after my class.
W: Well, I have a meeting this afternoon. So you can drop it off with the secretary of the art history department. She'll .see that I get it.
M: OK. I almost forgot. I'm a biology major. But my advisor told me that I need one more humanities course to graduate. I've noticed that you arc teaching a course on landscape painters next semester. Could you tell me a little bit about it?
W: Sure. Well, it's a course for nonart majors. We'll ha looking at several different painters and examining their works. We'll also look at the history and politics of the era in which they lived.
M: That sounds interesting. What else is required?
W: There is no final exam. And there is only one required book. But each student has to give a major presentation about an individual painter at the end of the course.
M: Hmm, it sounds good. Will you be in your office later today? I'd like to talk to you some more.
W: Well, my meeting's scheduled to last all afternoon. Why don't you stop by tomorrow? Any time in the afternoon. My office is in the fine arts building right next to the library.
M: Thanks. I'll do that.

A.He wants to hand in a late assignment.
B.He wants to drop her course.
C.He is unable to attend her class.
D.He wants to deliver, something to her office.
M: Thanks a lot. My pleasure to be here tonight.
W: Now, Andrew, perhaps you could tell us something about the future trends for the global music industry?
M: Sure. Well, from my perspective as a musician, [19] I can see a dramatic increase in the popularity of Latin music, even now. If this trend continues, I imagine the popularity of Salsa dancing will also rise dramatically. This may result in a slight decrease in the popularity of other types of music.
W: What do you think of the sudden drop in interest in classical music?
M: I think this trend has been in the works for quite some time. As more and more varieties of music become available to consumers, the classic standards may suffer in the popularity contest. [20] I think the drop in interest of classical music hasn't been sudden at all, it's been slow and steady for many years now.
W: Is there any type of music that is consistently popular with most people?
M: If you look at the numbers, rock and roll music has remained a steady constant through the years. I expect the popularity of rock and roll will stay the same in the coming years.
W: It's said that [21] rock music might make one livelier and happier. What do you think of it?
M: That's tree. Research suggests that music can influence a person's feelings and character. [21] There's clear evidence that people who listen lively music are lively people.

When the aesthetic (美学的) experience has ended, we often feel uplifted and refreshed. Our eyes and ears, our insight into other persons, or our understanding of moral values may be sharpened and refined. We may feel more at home with ourselves. Works of art have value for use in all these.
It is this value that marks the difference between great art and simple entertainment. A work that is fairly easy to understand and appreciate takes little effort on our part. It may give us pleasure. But it does not involve our emotions or our attention at a deep level. It may take our minds off our troubles for a time, but it does not give us the spiritually enriching experience of vital and orderly design.
To enjoy the value of works of art, we must be ready to give a great deal to them. The greatest works of music and poetry often present difficulties. We cannot expect to master them all at once, and we cannot always find what is worthy in them at a glance. It is possible to get some satisfaction out of music while reading a newspaper or peeling (削皮) potatoes. But we must listen with full attention before we can find the riches in great works of music.
Which of the following is nearest in meaning to "We are completely wrapped up in it" (Paragraph One)?
