the typical North American diet is a welcome development. However, much of this interest has been sparked by sweeping claims that the food supply is unsafe or inadequate in meeting nutritional needs. Although most of these claims are not supported by scientific evidence, such claims make it difficult for the general public to separate fact from fiction. As a result, claims that eating a diet consisting entirely of organically grown foods prevents or cures disease or provides other benefits to health have become widely publicized and form. the basis for folklore. Almost daily the public is besieged for "no-aging" diets, new vitamins, and other wonderful foods. There are numerous unconfirmed reports that natural vitamins are superior to synthetic ones, that fertilized eggs are nutritionally superior to unfertilized eggs, that untreated grains are better than treated grains and the like.

Ladies and gentlemen,

It is my special pleasure to welcome our new staff member, Mr. Simon Anderson. He has come here from Australia. He has recently graduated from the North Bank University where he majored in TESL (Teaching English as a Second Language). He is young and full of energy.

Mr. Anderson will be working mostly in our day-time classes, and he has also agreed to take some of our evening classes. He will be in Hefei with us for at least two semesters.

One mission (使命) of our college is to promote understanding and cooperation between the young people of our two countries. By having people like Mr. Anderson, who are willing to give up the comfort of their friends in their own country to come to a strange country, we feel we are very lucky and that our mission will be all the more easily realized.

Mr. Anderson, the other faculty members and the rest of the staff of this college join with me in extending to you our sincerest welcome. We are indeed happy to have you here, and we wish you all the best during the time that you are with us. Thank you.

Where is Mr. Anderson from？ He is from______.

听力原文： Good morning, ladies and gentlemen. Welcome to Safari Park. I am Susan; I will lead you to visit the park. There are many beautiful animals in the park, and we will see them one after another. Follow me please! First, you'll see the Animals of Asia on your right. Some of them are not strangers to us, but as for many of them, we only heard of them from TV or radio. They are really beautiful. Just pass the Asian animals, you'll find Flamingo Pond. We're sure you'll like the beautiful pink birds. Continue a- long the walkway. On your right, you'll see the wild animals of the North American grassland. After that, it's Monkey Mountain where you'll notice the baby monkeys playing. The baby monkey sitting in the tree is the loveliest one here. Once visitors throw some food to them, he is always the first one to get it. But we'd better not throw food to them, because that will make the park easily dirty. Although the Monkey Mountain is attractive, we can't stay for too long time, because there are many other animals ahead.

What is the speaker？

A．A guide.

B．A visitor.

C．A teacher.

听力原文： If I could have your attention, I have an announcement to make. We have just hired a consultant to take responsibility for organizing and recruiting new volunteers for the museum. I'm very excited about her. Her name is Norma Dennis, and she's flying here from Texas to join us for our summer volunteer push. She was Director of Volunteer Services for the North Texas Healthcare System for about 20 years, so she has a lot of experience. Her work has mainly been with healthcare and charities. I'm not sure how much experience she has with the arts. But I think she'll really help us recruit, manage, and retain our museum volunteers. I encourage everyone to make her feel welcome and to implement all of her suggestions.

Where is Mrs. Dennis going to work for？

A．A summer camp

B．A museum

C．A library

D．A hospital

first steamship in Canada(then called British North America)in 1809. By the 1830s dozens of steam vessels were in use in Canada. They offered the traveler reliable transportation in comfortable facilities--a welcome alternative to stagecoach travel which at the best of times could only be described as wretched. This commitment to dependable river transport became entrenched with the investment of millions of dollars for the improvement of waterways, which included the construction of canals and lock systems. The Lachine and Welland Canals, two of the most important systems, were opened in 1825 and 1829, respectively. By the time that Upper and Lower Canada were united into the Province of Canada in 1841 ,the public debt for canals was more than one hundred dollars per capita, an enormous sum for the time. But it may not seem such a great amount if we consider that improvements allowed steamboats to remain practical for most commercial transport in Canada until the mid-nineteenth century.

What is the main purpose of the passage？

A．To contrast travel by steamship and stagecoach.

B．To criticize the level of public debt in nineteenth century in Canada.

C．To describe the introduction of steamships in Canada.

D．To show how Canada surpassed the United States in transportation improvements.
