       世界的面貌正在发生引人注目的变化，其变化之快几乎就象这座城市德空中轮廓。今天，冷战已经结束。全球核冲突的危险性已大大减小，商品和思想的自由交流正在激发地球村的概念。但是，正如世界各国会受益于这个新世界的美好前景，没有一个国家能够免遭其祸害。缔造和平与繁荣，抵御不分国界的诸多威胁---恐怖主义、贩毒、疾病和环境破坏，这些与我们大家都有着利害关系。

       为了最有效地迎接这些挑战，中国和美国必须协力行动。有些人说，随着冷战的结束，美中关系的战略意义已经减弱了。我认为这些人刚好说反了。随着新世纪的开始，加强美国和中国的联系，其重要性将变得更大。

     That  summer was unusually hot  in  Shanghai. Granny was hospitalized. Mom went to the hospital  several times a  day, and  in  the evening  she was also there looking after  Granny. Having had no good meal several days running, Mom was obviously thinning. Mom is a music teacher. She not only teacher her students what love is all about with her songs but tells me by what  she does that  showing filial respect to parents is a virtue of our  Chinese nation. Now that Mom is sick, I must take good care of her and be a fine daughter who is filial towards Mom.

SECTION 1：LISTENING TEST //tr.hjenglish.com/
Part A: Spot Dictation
Directions: In  this  part  of the test,  you  will  hear  a  passage  and read the  same  passage  with blanks in it. 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  answer  booklet. Remember you will  hear  the passage only once. Now let s begin Part A with Spot Dictation.

     The development  of the  Space Shuttle has dramatically reduced the cost  of sending loads into space. The Shuttle takes off from Earth like a rocket, and lands again like a huge aircraft. It can transport  not  only  its own  crew, but  also passengers, and has a huge cargo-hold which  is capable of carrying large satellites or a space laboratory.

      Before the Space Shuttle was created, it was necessary to plan trips into space several years in advance. However, for the rest of the century it should be possible to make space flights every week  or  so.  Any  scientist  or  engineer  needing  to  travel  into  orbit  will  simply  take  the  next Shuttle flight, stay as long as necessary, and then return at his or her convenience.

      It is difficult to imagine the immense opportunities created by the Shuttle. One of the great advantages of having a reusable space vehicle is that it can take one load after another into orbit. Very large space stations could not be launched in their  complete form directly from Earth, but they could be built piece by piece in space. The Space Shuttle is likely to be used as a general “workhorse” for the rest of this century, and the building of such stations in orbit should become commonplace.

      Once  these  huge  orbiting  space  stations  are  completed,  they  are  likely  to  become  the platforms from  which hundreds of robot  space  ships  could be launched cheaply  and easily to explore the solar system and to start mining operations on the Moon. The technology needed for this is already  developed and available. And because of commercial and  military pressures to develop   space  technology,  it  is  likely  that  governments  will  be  increasingly  willing  to  start extensive programs of space engineering, exploration and research.
