SECTION A CONVERSATIONS
Directions: In this section you will hear several conversations. Listen to the conversations carefully and then answer the questions that follow.
听力原文:W: Oh, David. I just can't believe it. There are more than forty million people who have HIV in the world, 70 percent of them in Africa, and the former Soviet Union and parts of Asia are also big risk areas.
M: The UN AIDS organization last week estimated that in just over 20 years, 20 million people have died of AIDS, and this figure will be 3 times in the next 2 decades unless a major rescue effort is launched in poor countries.
W: That sounds really terrible! Something must be done to it.
M: Yes. The 14th International AIDS Conference was held in Barcelona. It's aiming at increased global awareness of the threat of the killing epidemic to the economic development, peace, security and mobilized resources to check the spread of HIV. I've heard there's breakthrough in technology. But the fight against AIDS will be long.
W: Many people argue that AIDS victims should be separated. What de you think about it?
M: Separating will help no one. Most AIDS patients are too sick to be transmitting the virus. Largely people who de not have AIDS but are infected with the HIV virus are spreading the virus, and they may or may not know it. Separation would be totally futile.
W: Would mandatory testing help?
M: I believe it would drive every people you want to test underground. Voluntary, confidential testing is much more appropriate.

A. 40 million.
B. About 28 million.
C. 12 million.
D. Less than 28 million.

听力原文: I'm sure that most of you already know that only members of Congress may introduce a bill, or present the bill for the group's consideration. Introducing the bill is a great honor and many Congress people consider it a historical move because many of these bills eventually become law. But before the bill can be considered, it must first be drafted, or put into the proper language. Usually a Congressional staff member familiar with the particulars of the Congressional vocabulary drafts the bill. In addition, many businesses, labor, farm, and other special interest groups will also draft bills they want Congress to consider.
When the bill is ready for consideration, it follows two different procedures, depending on where the bill is introduced. In the House, representatives place their bills in the hopper.
A hopper is a special box on a clerk's desk. From this box, the bills go into the appropriate House committee for further study. In the Senate, senators go in front of the Senate floor and introduce their bills to the whole group.
Who may introduce a bill?

A. Leaders in the community.
B. Clerks.
C. Members of Congress.
D. Members of special interest groups.

When you close your eyes and try to think of the shape of your body, what you imagine (or rather, what you feel) is quite different from what you see when you open your eyes and look in the mirror. The image you feel is much vaguer than the one you see. And if you lie still, it is quite hard to imagine yourself as having any particular size or shape.
When you move, when you feel the weight of your arms and legs, the natural resistance of the objects around you, the "felt" image of yourself starts to become clearer. It is almost as if it were created by your own actions and the feelings they cause.
The image you create for yourself has rather strange proportions: certain parts feel much bigger than they look. If you get a hole in one of your teeth, it feels enormous; you are often surprised by how small it looks when you inspect it in the mirror. But although the "felt" image may not have the shape you see in the mirror, it is much more important. It is the image through which you recognize your physical existence in the world. In spite of its strange proportions, it is all one piece, and since it has a consistent right and left and top and bottom, it allows you to locate new feelings when they occur. It allows you to find your nose in the dark and point to a pain.
If the felt image is damaged for any reason--if it is cut in half or lost as it often is after certain strokes, which wipe out recognition of one entire side--these tasks become almost impossible. What is more, it becomes hard to make sense of one's own visual appearance. If one half of the felt image is wiped out or injured, the patient stops recognizing the affected part of his body. It is hard for him to find the location of feelings on that side, and, although he feels the doctor's touch, he locates it as being on the undamaged side.
In which of the following situations will you find your image most vague?

A. When looking into the mirror.
B. When lying in bed with closed eyes.
C. When standing.
D. When walking.
