听力原文： On 26 May, 1928, at a meeting in Amsterdam, the FIFA (Federation Internationale de Football Association) congress decided that a new tournament open to all its members should be played. A year later in Barcelona it was agreed that Uruguay, the Olympic champions and the era's footballing superpower, should celebrate 100 years of independence by hosting the first World Cup the following year.
Only 13 nations took part in the inaugural tournament, with a majority of nine coming from South America. All games were played in three stadiums in Montevideo and, as expected, the South American countries dominated, although the European teams did not disgrace themselves.
Some 100,000 fans packed into the Centenario Stadium for the final on 30 July to see Argentina throw away a 2-1 half-time lead as Uruguay ran out 4-2 winners.
Jules Rimet, the FIFA president and brains behind the World Cup, presented the trophy to winning captain Jose Nazassi and football's greatest tournament was born.
After a pre-match row over which ball to use for the final, it is believed the Argentine ball was used in one half and the Uruguayan ball in the other. Rumor has it that this is how the phrase "a game of two halves" evolved.
When and where was the first World Cup played？
SECTION B PASSAGES
Directions: In this section, you will hear several passages. Listen to the passages carefully and then answer the questions that follow.
听力原文： A study has found that almost half of all unnatural deaths are related to alcohol. Research carried out by doctors in Sweden suggests that 44% of deaths caused by accidents or other events are linked to drinking. These include deaths from suicide, falls, traffic injuries and murder.
The doctors examined deaths in Sweden over a five-year period. They divided deaths into natural ones that were caused by disease or illness and unnatural ones that were event related. They found that 29% of all unnatural deaths were associated with alcohol.
However, they estimated that the figure may be as high as 44% and may be even higher in countries with "softer" alcohol laws than in Sweden.
Scientists say the sober person does not take the same risks and, to some extent, can avoid dangers and risks. Alcohol blurs your mind and it is well known that both self-destructive behavior. and aggression towards other people are much higher under the influence of alcohol than during sobriety.
The study demonstrates that alcohol is a problem not only when it comes to drunk driving and traffic deaths, but in a significant number of all unnatural deaths. This means that you run a greater risk in almost all aspects when you are under the influence of alcohol. Sue Boon, assistant director of Alcohol Concern Association, said she was not surprised by the findings.
The five-year survey in Sweden revealed ______ of unnatural deaths were associated with alcohol.
