One day, Bugorski found that there was a malfunction in a piece of accelerator equipment.答案:B聽力原文1-10 Bugorski, a 36-year-old researcher at the Institute for High Energy Physics in Protvino, was

5、 checking a piece of accelerator equipment that had malfunctioned. This equipment had, apparently, several safety mechanisms. Leaning over the piece of equipment, Bugorski stuck his head in the space through which the beam passes on its way from one part of the accelerator tube to the next and saw a

6、 flash brighter than a thousand suns. He felt no pain. From what we know about radiation, about 500 to 600 rads is enough to kill a person(though we dont know of anyone else who has been exposed to radiation in the form of a proton beam moving at about the speed of sound). The left side of his face

7、swollen beyond recognition, Bugorski was taken to a clinic in Moscow so that doctors could observe his death over the following two to three weeks. Over the next few days, skin on the back of his head and on his face just next to his left part of nose peeled away to reveal the path the beam had burn

8、ed through the skin, the skull, and the brain tissue. The inside of his head continued to burn away: all the nerves on the left were gone in two years, paralyzing that side of his face. Still, not only did Bugorski not die, but he remained a normally functioning human being, capable even of continui

9、ng in science. For the first dozen years, the only real evidence that something had gone wrong in nerve system were occasional petty mai seizures. Over the last few years Bugorski has also had six grand mals. The dividing line of his life goes down the middle of his face: the right side has aged, wh

10、ile the left froze 19 years ago. When he concentrates, he wrinkles only half his forehead. Because virtually everything connected with nuclear energy was kept secret in the Soviet Union, for more than a decade Bugorski observed an unspoken ban on talking about his accident. About twice a year he wen

11、t to the Moscow radiation clinic to be examined and to commune with other members of the brotherhood of nuclear-accident victims. Like former inmates, we are always aware of one another, he syas. There arent that many of us, and we know one anothers life stories. Generally, these are sad tales. Bugo

12、rski thinks of himself as a fortunate exception: a man in reasonable health, able to continue living a full life. For years, he was a poster boy for Soviet and Russian radiation medicine, which was entirely content to take the credit for his good fortune. Last year, though, when Bugorski finally dec

13、ided to apply for disabled status, which would allow him to receive his medication free of charge, the doctors chilled on him. For his part, now that his fate is no longer secret, he would like to make himself available to Western researchers, but he doesnt have the money to leave the science town o

14、f Protvino and go west. He thinks he would make a brilliant object of study for someone: This is, in effect, an unintended test of proton warfare, he claims. More to the point, he believes, I am being tested. The human capacity for survival is being tested. 2. While checking the equipment, Bugorski

15、got his head stuck in the space through which the beam passes on his way from one part of the accelerator tube to the next.答案:B3. Bugorski was sent to a hospital for treatment immediately after the accident.答案:B4. The left part of his head was seriously burnt by the beam.答案:A5. His misfortune did no

16、t stop him from his work.答案:A6. His nerve system was not so seriously affected than people had expected.答案:A7. He was not allowed to mention the accident within a decade.答案:B8. Twice a year, he was allowed to talk with other nuclear-accident victims about his accident.答案:A9. Lately when he decided t

17、o apply for disabled status, he was laughed at.答案:B10. He hopes to make himself a subject of study by western institutions.答案:APart B You will hear 3 conversations or talks and you must answer the questions by choosing A, B, C or D. You will hear the recording ONLY ONCE. Questions 11-13 are based on

18、 the following talk. You row have 15 seconds to rend Questions 11-13. (如需獲取本MP3聽力錄音請搜索標(biāo)題名) 1. Trip cancellation insurance works on the following circumstances Except when_.A.your house is on fireB.your son is sick in hospitalC.your cousin is deadD.your neighbor plans to travel with you答案:C聽力原文11-13

19、Trip cancellation insurance covers you before you travel. It reimburses you for any prepaid, non-refundable expenses, such as airline tickets or hotel rooms, that you cannot use because you had to cancel your trip. Trip cancellation insurance generally kicks in if the cancellation is due to an unfor

20、eseen accident, illness or other specified event that affects you, a close family member or your traveling companion. Obviously, many terms are open to interpretation: unforeseen, other specified event, and close family member are not always self-explanatory. For instance, if your chronic back probl

21、ems flared up and forced you to cancel your trip, your policy might not reimburse you because your illness was foreseeable. Many policies, in fact, specifically exclude pre-existing conditions. Injuries sustained during high-risk activities such as sky-diving are also usually excluded. And, strangel

22、y enough, almost every insurer excludes pregnancy from coverage. Be sure you know what reasons for cancellation will be accepted. Similarly, be aware that your insurer may defind close family member differently than you do. If you plan a trip with your live-in partner, for instance, and your partner

23、 falls seriously iii before you leave, you might not be covered for canceling your trip because only spouses are included in the defintion of close family memher. Terrorism or political unrest in the country where you are headed may be an allowable reason to cancel, but they are sometimes specifical

24、ly excluded from coverage. Finally, keep in mind that trip cancellation insurance covers you before your departure, not during your trip. But when does your trip actually start? Be sure that your policy covers you while you are on the way from home to your departure point. If you have a car accident

25、 on the way to the airport, for example, your insurer might consider you to have already departed and refuse to cover your cancellation. Make sure you are covered for the entire period of time before you actually set sail, so to speak. 2. In case of trip cancellation, you may be reimbursed if_.A.you

26、r stepmother is seriously illB.your wife is expected to deliver a childC.your travelling companion is injured in a car raceD.your stomach trouble comes back答案:A3. Your trip cancellation will not be accepted under the following conditions EXCEPT_.A.your flight has been cancelledB.your house is floode

38、truggle probably will add to the debate over what caused the crash. Co-pilot Gameel E1-Batouty was at the controls when the Boeing 767 nosed into its fatal dive into the Atlantic Ocean. Some investigators have speculated he crashed the plane deliberately. Egyptian authorities have denied that sugges

39、tion, and they insisted that the transcript of the cockpit voice recorder, released Friday, helps to prove that E1-Batouty is innocent. There is nothing on the cockpit voice recorder or the flight data recorder to indicate that Flight 990 was intentionally crashed, said Capt. Shaker Kelada of Egypt

40、Air. The National Transportation Safety Board released 1,665 pages of fact-finding reports into the crash, routine in such major investigations.

All the scientists mentioned in the talk have helped us a lot in_.答案: understanding the universe聽力原文21-3

46、0 Up to the present, many scientists have made great contributions to the understanding of the universe. One of them is Albert Einstein, a German physicist, who revolutionized our concepts of space and time with his theories of relativity. In 1905 Einstein published his special theory of relativity.

47、 The foundation of the theory is the observation that light moves at a constant speed as measured by all observers, whatever its state of motion. One consequence is that measurements of distance and time are not absolute quantities but very relative to the motion of an observer. Another is that ener

48、gy(E)can be converted into mass(m) ,and vice versa, according to the formula E = mc2, where c is the speed of light. Ten years later, Einsteins general theory of relativity extended this work to include acceleration and gravity-stating that the two are equivalent. Einstein showed that gravity is act

49、ually the warping of space by matter. One consequence is that light will follow a curved path when it passes a massive body. Observations of a small apparent shift in the positions of stars near the sun during a solar eclipse in 1919 showed that the theory was correct. General relativity was later u

50、sed to interpret Edwin Hubbles discovery of the expanding universe. Edwin Hubble discovered a universe of galaxies outside the Milky Way and showed that the entire universe is expanding. In the early 20th century, most astronomers believed that the universe did not extend beyond our Milk Way galaxy.

51、 Then in the early 1920s, Hubble pointed the largest telescope in the world(on Mt. Wilson in California) at the mysterious Andromeda nebula. He recognized individual stars within the nebula and concluded that it was not a cloud of interstellar gas within our Milky Way, but an entire galaxy very far

52、away. Suddenly, the universe was far larger than most astronomers had imagined. Hubble continued to find galaxies at greater and greater distances. He developed the system for classifying galaxies by their structure, which is still used today. Hubble also discovered that the distant galaxies are mov

53、ing away from each other and the greater the distance between two galaxies, the faster they are moving away. This simple proportionality between the. distance and the speed of galaxies moving away from each other, set forth in 1929, is now known as Hubbles law. It shows that the universe is expandin

54、g. Georges Lemaitre, a Belgian cosmologist was one of the first scientists to use Einsteins general theory of relativity to describe the universe as a whole. In 1927, he showed how the expansion of the universe, observed by Hubble, was a natural consequence of the equations of general relativity. Le

55、maitre also thought about the expansion of the universe in a radically new way. If we could imgaine tracing the expansion backward in time, we would see it getting smaller and smaller. Wouldnt there be a limit to how small it could get? In 1931, Lemaitre proposed that at some point in the distant pa

56、st, the universe was compressed into a tiny object which he called the cosmic egg. This cosmic egg would have exploded-launching the expansion of space itself that we still see today. This theory later became known as the big bang and provided the first scientific description of how the universe beg

57、an. When we talk about early skygazers, we can not forget the Danish astronomer Tyeho Brahe. Before the invention of the telescope, Tycho Brahe revolutionized astronomy by establishing the importance of accurate observations. He invented an improved sextant and used it to make precise observations of the positions of stars and planets. Brahe completely recalculated Ptolemys astronomical tables, which contained many errors, and catalogued over one thousand stars during his lifetime. He built Europes first obs
