听力原文： Our correspondent reported that the United States will consider Iraq's destruction of the A1 Samoud, a liquid propellant "mini-Scud" ballistic missile, a test of Baghdad's commitment to disarm. Destroying the Al Samouds would rob Iraq of a potentially valuable weapon which it considers legitimate for its defense at a time when it faces tens of thousands of American troops poised for a possible invasion. Other outstanding disarmament issues include allowing inspectors to interview Iraqi scientists without government "minders" present. Inspectors from the U. N. Monitoring and Observation Commission led by Blix, have conducted only three private interviews with Iraqi scientists since their return to Iraq in November. "It's three out of more than 20 attempts," he said. The International Atomic Energy Agency, which is inspecting Iraq's nuclear program, has conducted four private interviews, including one Monday.

According to Iraqis, the A1 Samoud is

A．a solid-fuel propellant ballistic missile.

B．a test of Baghdad's commitment to disarm.

C．a weapon poised for a possible invasion.

D．a potentially valuable defensive weapon.

听力原文： If your children cannot find a salaried summer job, or he or she is too young to find one that's suitable, volunteer activities might fill those long summer days. The payoff, according to one adult volunteer worker, "comes with reference, learning, and a greater understanding of people--the youngsters themselves, as well as others." Usually the lower age limit for volunteer work is 13 or 14.

In just about every community, volunteer referral services will help junior high or senior high school students find the right volunteer spot. Recreation departments, boards of education, United Way agencies, hospitals, and even city governments can help, too.

Your child might be assigned to escort toddlers through a zoo or visit patients in a hospital. He or she might work in a day camp or a day-care center, a botanical garden, a school or nursing home.

The article would most likely be found in ______

A．a children's magazine

Britain almost more than any other country in the world most seriously face the problem of building upwards, that is to say, of accommodating a considerable proportion of its population in high blocks of flats.

2.It is said that the English man objects to this type of existence, but if the case is such, he does in fact differ from the inhabitants of most countries of the world today.

3.In the past our own blocks of flats have been associated with the lower-income groups and they have lacked the obvious provisions, such as central heating, constant hot water supply, electrically operated lifts from bottom to the top, and so on, as well as such details as easy facilities for disposal of dust and rubbish and storage places for baby carriages in the ground floor, playgrounds for children on the top of the buildings, and drying grounds for washing.

4.It is likely that the dispute regarding flats versus(对，对抗) individual houses will continue to rage on for a long time as far as Britain is concerned.

5.Those who oppose the building of flats base their case primarily on the assumption that everyone prefers an individual home and garden.They also ignore the higher cost of providing full services to a scattered community and the cost in both money and time of the journeys to work.

Artificial flowers are used for scientific as well as for decorative purposes. They are made from a variety of materials, such as wax and glass, so skillfully that they can scarcely be distinguished from natural flowers. In making such models, painstaking skill and artistry are called for, as well as thorough knowledge of plant structure. The collection of glass flowers in the Botanical Museum of Harvard University is the most famous in North America and is widely known throughout the scientific world. In all, there are several thousand models in colored glass, the work of two artists-naturalists, Leopold Blaschka and his son Rudolph.

The intention was to have the collection represent at least one member of each flower family native to the United States. Although it was never completed, it contains more than seven hundred species representing 164 families of flowering plants, a group of fruits showing the effect of fungus diseases, and thousands of flower parts and magnified details. Every detail of these is accurately reproduced in color and structure. The models ate kept in locked cases, as they are too valuable and fragile for classroom use.

Which of the following is the best title for the passage?

A．An Extensive Collection of Glass Flowers.

B．The Live Leopold and Rudolph Blaschka.

C．Flowers Native to the United States.

D．Materials Used for Artificial Flowers.
