听力原文： Geologists say they knew that a large earthquake was coming in South Asia, but they did not know when.
The Himalayan Mountains were formed some 150 million years ago after the landmass that is now India broke off from Antarctica, drifted north and collided with the rest of Asia.
Scientists say the South Asian land mass is still moving towards North Asia at the rate of about two centimeters a year, making the area prone to earthquakes.
Harley Benz is a researcher at the U.S. Geological Survey earthquake information center. 'It's a broad zone of deformation, and across this zone that extends 1,000 kilometers, you have a whole series of faults and folds.'
Another earthquake-prone region is along the 1300 kilometer San Andreas Fault in California.
It is here that John Rundle, a physics and engineering professor at the University of California at Davis, is testing his earthquake computer simulation.

听力原文： The government of Pakistan says it now thinks that more than 38,000 people were killed by the South Asian earthquake a week ago. The number injured has risen to more than 60,000. In some of the areas worst affected, heavy rain and strong winds again temporarily grounded helicopter flights. BBC correspondent Jonathan Head reports now from Muzaffarabad: The earthquake struck rich and poor alike. This was a doctor's home in surgery. One week on his family are still retrieving what they can. It isn't much. But it's so much harder on the poor. In the hills outside Muzaffarabad a man complains all he's had to eat is biscuits. 14-year-old Javed took me onto the roof of what had been his house, now crushed to a few feet of rubble. 'This earthquake killed my sister', he told me, 'and my mother was badly injured'. His home today, like countless others here, is a grimy camp.The total casualties have surpassed ______.A．38,000B．60,000C．68,000D．98,000

史密斯：根据《国际珍稀动物保护条例》的规定，杂种动物不属于该条例的保护对象。《国际珍稀动物保护条例》的保护对象中包括赤狼。而最新的基因研究技术发现，一直被认为是纯种物种的赤狼实际上是山狗与灰狼的杂交种。由于赤狼明显须要保护，所以条例应当修改，使其也保护杂种动物。张大中：您的观点不能成立。因为如果赤狼确实是山狗与灰狼的杂交种的话，那么，即使现有的赤狼灭绝了，仍然可以通过山狗与灰狼的杂交来重新获得它。以下哪项最为确切地概括了张大中与史密斯争论的焦点？（）
A．赤狼是否为山狗与灰狼的杂交种。
B．《国际珍稀动物保护条例》的保护对象中，是否应当包括赤狼。
C．《国际珍稀动物保护条例》的保护对象中，是否应当包括杂种动物。
D．山狗与灰狼是否都是纯种物种。 -

SECTION B PASSAGESDirections: In this section, you will hear several passages. Listen to the passages carefully and then answer the questions that follow.听力原文： Welcome to Everglade's National Park. The Everglade is a watery plain covered with saw-grass that's the home to numerous species of plants and wild life. And one and half million acres is too big to see it all today. But this tout will offer you a good sampling. Our tour bus will stop first at Tailor Slue. This is a good place to start because it is home to many of the plants and animals typically associated with the everglade. You'll see many exotic birds and of course a world famous alligators. Don't worry. There's a boardwalk that goes across the marsh, so you can look down at the animals in the water from a safe distance. The boardwalk is high enough to give you a great view of the saw grass prairie. From there we'll head at some other marshy and even jungle—like areas that feature wonderful tropical plant life. For those of you who'd like a close view of the saw grass prairie, you might consider running a canoe sometime during your visit here. However, don't do this unless you have a very good sense of direction and can negotiate your way through tall grass. We hate to have to come looking for you. You have a good fortune of being here in the winter, the best time of the year to visit. During the spring and summer the mosquitoes will just about to eat you alive. Right now, they are not so bothersome, but you'll soon want to use an insect repellent.What is the main purpose of the tour?A．To inform. visitors of the park's history.B．To provide an overview of the park's main attractions.C．To show visitors remote places in the park.D．To teach visitors how best to photograph wildlife.
