听力原文： Good morning, ladies and gentlemen. It's a great pleasure that I welcome you to the new Museum of Industrial and Rural life. The museum provides us with a unique historical record of industrial and agricultural life in the area. Here, you find a wonderful collection of industrial and agricultural exhibits. Some of them date back 200 years which reflect the history of our area over the last two centuries. Until recently, the area was mainly agricultural, and the world industries and traditions were all associated with agriculture. The museum's collections bring this heritage back to life, with the fascinating blend of working and static displays. From early times, good communications with the rest of the country have led to the industrial prosperity for the area. One example of such communications was the Roman Road, Portsmouth Street which passed nearby. Later, canals came to bring new prosperity, and then the railways. Good transport systems encouraged local industries, especially those related to agriculture, and the museum has collections of national significance from many of these. Local people, too, have changed the history, and the museum will introduce you to these and other local celebrities. The displays with all items collected locally show what local life used to be like. Many displays of local items are in context and show, for example printer's and cobbler's workshops. Whatever you are interested, we hope the museum will have something for you.

The museum aims mainly to display ______ .

A．the area's technological development

B．the nation's important historical events

C．the area's agricultural and industrial development

D．the nation's agricultural and industrial development

听力原文：M: Good morning, this is Allen broadcasting from university radio. In the local news this morning, the mountain-lake cycle tour is about to begin, and in the studio, we have with us Mar- ilen O' conner, president of the Ottawa bicycle club, the tour's sponsor. Can you tell us what the tour's all about?

W: Well, Allen, the mountain-lake cycle tour is a daylong bicycle tour from Ottawa to Kingston and back. It is not a race, but more like an endurance test for recreational cyclists. People do it for fitness and fun and try to better their time every year. M: How long will it take to cycle one-way, Marilen?

W: About seven to nine hours for the average cyclists. Racers can do it in four hours. But I said, the tour is not intended to be a race.

M: How many people will be taking part this year?

W: This is our biggest year ever. We have twelve hundred cyclists registered.

M: I bet they'll block the road when the cyclists start out?

W: Don't worry; we've introduced staggered starts to avoid these problems. Our first group will leave Ottawa at seven o'clock, and other groups will follow every twenty minutes.

M: Thank you. Marilen, Now down to the starting line of the university.
