题目内容

听力原文: There are a number of important novelists from America in this century, but Phillip K. Dick is certainly one of the most interesting. Dick was born in 1899, and received his education at NYU. His novels were about the post-war American society. His descriptive style. is very much caught up in the rhythms of black music.
In 1922, Dick published his first book. He also married, in the same year, a woman named Jane Bobb. She was also a writer. The appearance of his most famous novel was in 1925. It was called The High Tower.
Although it was true that Dick had a natural talent for writing, he was also a compulsive drinker. Though a brilliant success in his youth, he never made the necessary adjustments for a maturing writer in an ever changing world. His later writings, Bladerunner, Killing Time, and The End Game, were less successful, so much that when he died in 1942 most of his books were no longer being printed and most people had forgotten about him.
His reputation in modern times is far greater than it was even during the time he was alive. This has been especially true since the film version of his famous novel The High Tower was, released.
We know about the. novels of Dick that ______.

A. His writing was influenced by black music
B. He described the Southern United States
C. His writings were about war
D. He wrote stream-of-consciousness style

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?

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.
