题目详解:[听力原文]W: Stan, do you have a minute?M: Oh, hi, Cathy. Sure. What's up?W: Well, I've been meaning to talk to you about the situation in the office.M: I'm not in there very often. It's so noisy that I can't work.W: That's exactly what I'm getting at. We're supposed to be able to do our preparation and marking in that office, but have you noticed Jack constantly has students coming in to get help with his course. A lot of people are going in and out.M: Has anybody spoken to him about it?W: No, not yet, but someone's going to have to.M: We can't really ask him to stop having students come in for help, can we?W: No, of course not. But I'm not able to do my work and neither are you. I imagine it's the same for the others in the office.M: Hmmm, could we ask for a kind of meeting room? When the teachers have to talk with a student, they could go to the meeting room and not use the office. You know, there's a room down the hall, a rather small room that we could ask to use. It's only for storing supplies.W: You mean that little storage room? Oh, that would be too small.M. Are you sure? With the cabinets taken out, it might be bigger than it looks.W: Come to think of it, you may be on to something. I'd like to have a look at that room. Can we go there now?1.

题目详解:[听力原文] According to recent surveys, a large number of Americans favor increasing the present 55-mile-an-hour speed limit. The current speed limit was set in the early 1970's when the US. faced its first crucial oil shortage. Sixty-five percent of the persons surveyed said that the law was out of date. They pointed to the relative safety of the American highway system and to younger people, rather than older adults. They are more likely to argue against retention of the legislation. The debate is particularly important for those who live in the western states. Many of the large cities in the western part of the country are separated by thirty or forty hours of long, empty, straight roads. People from this area argue that the examples of countries like Australia and Germany should demonstrate that higher speeds are still safe and that speed is disproportionately blamed for traffic problems. Most professional truck drivers favor a higher speed limit. They argue that they can get their goods to the marketplace faster if the speed limit is higher, and that is good for the economy. Since the successful implementation of the turbo-charged engine in modern trucks, it is quite possible for trucks to reach speeds twice the legal limit which they are currently allowed to travel. In the end, economic issues may help make the final decision.
