4、无法相信这是一种最佳的制度，甚至无法相信这是一种合理的制度，因为这个制度把那种唯有少数特权人物和天才人物才能欣赏的文学珍品，全数摆在很不情愿且又很不理解的普通大众面前。对公立党校的广大学童来说，古典教育从头至尾是冗长的、毫无意义的、毫无用处的。倘若有人告诉我，古典课程是学习英语的最好准备，那我的回答便是，迄今为止这个准备阶段不完善，它未能收到所承诺的任何成效。SECTION 4: LISTENING TESTPart A: Note-taking and Gap-filling1. manufacturing 2. service3. five 4. utility5. wholesales

Fill in each of the blanks with the word or words you have heard on the tape. Write your answer in the corresponding space in your ANSWERBOOKLET. Remember

20、 you will hear the passage only once. Now lets begin Part A with Spot Dictation.The earths moon, which has always been an object of worship and mystery to people of all cultures and religions, is located an average of 239,000 miles from the earth. It has a diameter of 2,136 miles, and its gravity is

21、 one-sixth that of earths. Scientists know that the moon, as well as the sun, affects the oceans tides. It is also possible that the moon is related to the occurrence of earthquakes. But today we are going to discuss another fascinating question with respect to the moon. Does it affect our behavior?

22、To begin with, many observers say that the moons phases definitely affect the behavior of animals. For example, fishermen know that fish are easier or harder to catch, depending on what stage the moon is in. But what about people? Carl Sagan, the famous astronomer, says, “I have no doubt the moon ha

23、s an effect on human behavior.” There are stories in almost every society about people who do strange and unpredictable things during the time of the full moon, which comes approximately every twenty-nine days.

A Los Angeles police sergeant named Bob Kenney is convinced t

25、hat the full moon has some effects on people, though he agrees that this is very hard to prove. Still, according to the Los Angeles Times of January 20, 1984, he says that most of the police officers he knows believe there is a connection between crime rates and the full moon.Many airline pilots, wa

26、itresses, bartenders, and newspaper reporters, all of whom deal directly with the public, agree that people behave oddly during periods of the full moon, though they cant specify exactly how or why it happens.Part B：Listening ComprehensionDirections: In this part of the test, there will be some shor
