解析：[听力原文]

In every language there are two great classes of words which, taken together, make up the whole vocabulary. First, there are those words with which we become acquainted in daily conversation, which we learn, that is to say, from the members of our own family and from our familiar associates, and which we should know and use even if we could not read or write. They concern the common things of life, and are the goods in trade of all those who speak the language. Such words may be called "popular" , since they belong to the whole people and are not the exclusive possession of a limited class.

On the other hand, our language includes a large number of words that are comparatively seldom used in ordinary conversation. Their meanings are known to every educated person, but there is little occasion to use them at home or in the marketplace. Our first acquaintance with them comes not from our mother's lips or from the talk of our schoolmates, but from books that we read, lectures that we hear, or the more formal conversation of highly educated speakers who are discussing some particular topic in a style raised above the habitual level of everyday life. Such words are called

"learned ". And the distinction between them and "popular" words is of great importance to a right understanding of the language.

[解析] 推断题。文中指出，我们在日常生活中使用的语言是从家人或朋友那儿学来的，属于每个人，故A 为正确答案。B文中未提及。C和原文相悖。D和原文不符。

(1).When did the British first taste tea?

B. In 1650.

C. In 1823.

D. In 1750.（分数：1.00）

A.

B. √

C.

D.

解析：[听力原文]

What exactly is tea? Basically it is a drink made from the dried leaves of a plant that only grows in hot countries. The British first heard of tea in 1598. and first tasted it in about 1650. For nearly two centuries all tea was imported from China, until, in 1823, a tea plant was found growing naturally in India. Sixteen years later the first eight chests of Indian tea were sold in London, and today, London's tea markets deal in tea from India and Africa more than from China. But wherever the tea comes from, the rules for making a nice cup of tea are the same.

In Britain tea is the drink that cheers and that is cheap. But there's a darker side to the nice cup of tea. Life is far from cheerful for many of those who produce tea in other parts of the world. Many workers on tea estates suffer from poverty and poor food, and there is a high infant death-rate. A male laborer's wages for a day —a mere 36 pence —is equal to the cost of a pound

of tea to an Englishman, and that should make about two hundred cups of tea! In 1784, tea cost one shilling and six pence a pound in England in today's money. Before long Britain's national drink may be nearly as expensive again.

A.

B.

C. √

D.

解析：[听力原文]

Would the world really be so much better off if there were no dust? The answer is in some ways, yes, in some ways, no. For the most part, dust is not a very desirable or beneficial thing. But in one way, it helps make the world more beautiful. The lovely colors of the dawn and of the twilight

depend to a great extent on the amount of dust that is present in the air. Particles of dust in the upper air reflect the sun's rays. This makes its light visible on earth an hour or two after sunset. But different colors that make up the sun's light are bent at different angles as they are reflected by the dust and water vapor particle. Sunsets are red, because these particles bend the red rays of the sun in such a way that they are the last rays to disappear from view. Another useful function of dust has to do with rain. The water vapor in the air would not become a liquid very readily, if it didn't have the dust particles serving as centers for each drop of water. Therefore, cloud, mist, fog and rain are largely formed of an infinite number of moisture-latent particles of dust.
