听力原文： Ten years ago a small boy fell off his bicycle because he wanted to look behind. This gave Billy Morgan, a British businessman, a new idea. He designed a bicycle helmet with a built-in minor.
Mr. Morgan launched the product six months ago, and it now has sales of 27,000 and sells in twelve countries from Korea to Finland. The target for the second year is for sales of nearly 1 million pounds.
But it wasn't easy for Mr. Morgan to become successful. He had problems when he tried to interest UK manufacturers in making the helmet. It cost Mr. Morgan 1 million pounds of his own money to develop the helmet for the mass market.
Mr. Morgan found a helmet-maker in France. He worked with French consultants to make the design better for mass production, and spent ￡ 450,000 on preparing the French plant to make the helmet.
Now he plans to do more research and development. He wants to manufacture other designs of rearview helmets for motorcycling, skiing and horse-riding.

A．A product launch that didn't succeed.
B．A new idea that became a commercial success.
C．A manufacturing problem.

Mr. Phanourakis knew no language except his own but, with the self-confidence of a mountain villager, he made his way easily about the ship. When the bell announced the serving of lunch on his first day on board he found the number of his table from the list outside the dining-room and went straight to his table while many of the other passengers crowded helplessly round the chief steward waiting to be told where their tables were.
It was a small table for two. Mr. Phanourakis sat down. After a few minutes his table--companion arrived. "Bon appetit, m’sieur," he murmured politely, as he took the other chair.
Mr. Phanourakis looked at him quickly and then smiled. "Phanourakis," he said, carefully spacing out the Greek syllables.
During the afternoon, one of the ship's officers, who spoke a little Greek, asked Mr. Phanourakis whether he had found any acquaintances on board.
The old man shook his head. "The only person I've met is my table-companion," he said. "I think he's French. His name is Bonappetit."
"That is not a name," said the officer gently. "It is a French expression that means 'good appetite'."

A．to live the rest of his life with them
B．and stay with them for a few years
C．to help them run their restaurant

In his novels these various impulses were sacrificed to each other inevitably and often inevitably, because Hardy did not care in the way that novelists such as Flaubert or James learned, and therefore took paths of least resistance. Thus one impulse often surrendered to a fresher one and, unfortunately, instead of exacting a compromise, simply disappeared. A desire to throw over reality a light that never was might give way abruptly to the desire on the part of what we might consider a novelist scientist to record exactly and concretely the structure and texture of a flower.
In this instance, the new impulse was at least an energetic one. And thus its indulgence did not result in a relaxed style. But on other occasions Hardy abandoned a perilous risky and highly energizing impulse in favor of what was for him the fatally relaxing impulse to classify and schematize abstractly. When a relaxing impulse was indulged, the style—that sure index of an author's literary worth—was certain to become verbose.
Hardy's weakness derived from his apparent inability to control the comings and goings of these divergent impulses and from his unwillingness to cultivate and sustain the energetic and risky ones. He submitted of first one and then another, and the spirit blew where it listed; hence the unevenness of any one of his novels. His most controlled novel, Under the Greenwood Tree, prominently exhibits two different but reconcilable impulses—a desire to be a realist-historian and a desire to be a psychologist of love but the slight interlockings of plot are not enough to bind the two completely together. Thus even this book splits into two distinct parts.
Which of the following is the most appropriate title for the passage, based on its content？
A．Hardy's Novelistic Style. A Literary Light.
B．Hardy's Creative Conflict: Rationalism and Realism.
C．Hardy's Achievements: An Ambiguous Triumph.
D．Hardy's Novelistic Impulses: The Problem of Conflicts.

听力原文： One winter day in 1891, a class at the training school in Massachusetts, USA, went into the gym for their daily exercises.

He had been working for a long time on a new game that would have the excitement of American football. Nasmyth showed the men a basket he had hung at each end of the gym and explained that they were going to use around European football At first, everybody try to throw ball into the basket no matter where he was standing .Pass ! Pass! Nasmyth kept shouting, blowing his whistle to stop the excited players. Slowly, they began to understand what was wanted of them. The problem with the new game, which was soon called basketball, was getting the ball out of the basket. They used ordinary fruit baskets with bottoms, and the ball, of course, stayed inside. At first, someone had to clime up every time a basket was scored. It was several years before someone came up with the idea of removing the bottom of the basket and letting the ball fall through. There have been many changes in the rules since then and basketball has become one of the world's most popular sports.

When he got up in the morning, it looked, as though the fire was dying down, though he could still see some flames. So he set to work to tidy his room and put his things back where he wanted them. While he was doing this, Jane came in to say that she had heard the fire was a bad one:three hundred houses had been burned down in the night and the fire was still burning. Pepys went out to see for himself. He went to the Tower of London and climbed up on a high part of the buildings so that he could see what was happening. From there, Pepys could see that it was, indeed, a bad fire and that even the houses on London Bridge were burning. The man of the Tower told him that the fire had started in a baker's shop in Pudding Lane; the baker's house had caught fire from the overheated oven and then the flames had quickly spread to the other houses in the narrow lane. So began the Great Fire of London, a fire that lasted nearly five days, destroyed most of the old city and ended, so it is said, at Pie Corner.
What is the passage about？
A．The Great Fire of London.
B．Who was the first to discover the fire.
C．What Pepys was doing during the fire.
D．The losses caused by the fire.
Henry built race cars in the 1890’s and even became a race car driver. But he wanted to build cars for everyone: to use, so he began the Ford Motor Company in 1903. He had formulated (制定) a business motto which would be the reason for his success. "The way to make automobiles is to make one automobile like another automobile, to make them all alike." His company declared that they could make automobiles in any color, as long as it was black.
Henry gave much credit to his wife whom he called "The Believer". From the earliest days of their relationship she was the one who encouraged him to build a horseless carriage. Her belief in him was a constant encouragement to produce what would become tile primary mode of transportation in the future.
Henry's greatest task was to produce a gasoline engine that would be the power for his car. He finally produced so many hours each day that his friends called him crazy Henry. tie was inspired to work until his invention would work effectively.
When he designed the Model T, he decided he could build it cheaply for what he called "the great multitude(批量)." To do this he had to design an assemble line where many cars could be bilt in a single day. Each worker would have only his individual parts to put on each car. Then he could limit himself to the few tools needed for the task.
The Model T was introduced in 1908 and began to be produced on an assembly line in 1913. Henry Ford was the major figure in the auto industry for the next fifteen years.
On May 26, 1927, Henry watched the 15 millionth Model T Ford roll off the assembly tine. He had become the richest man in America. He was able to bring the price low enough so that most Americans could buy his car. This gave every family much independence, for they could move about freely without the aid of others’ transporting them.
Because he did not change his Model T, others began experimenting with different types of cars. However, the Ford Motor Company still exists and all car owners are indebted (受惠于) to the creation of the automobile by Henry Ford.
To make cars, Henry first of all needed ______.
A．his wife’s encouragement
B．a lot of money to buy equipment
C．engineers and technicians
D．to produce a gasoline engine that would be the power for his car
