Section B
Directions: In this section, you will hear 3 short passages. At the end of each passage, you will hear some questions. Both the passage and the questions will be spoken only once. After you hear a question, you must choose the best answer from the four choices marked A, B, C and D.
听力原文: Ask a typical American to name the biggest business in the United States, and you're likely to get an answer such as "banking" or "automobile manufacturing". Neither is correct. The right reply is surprisingly obvious when you consider what 235 million people do at least three times a day — they eat. The food business is by far America's largest enterprise.
And an increasingly large part of that business comes not from growing the food or selling it in America's stores, but from distributing it. In every corner of the nation, the distribution network works 24 hours a day, moving food by truck, train, ship and frequently by airplane. It has been estimated that there are more than 135,000 different grocery products, ranging from bottles of fresh milk to cans of cooked fish, constantly being moved through the system.
Food in America is moved by a network that is so complicated that no one has ever been able to figure it out. There is no central governmental supervision of the system, although scores of government agencies at the federal, state and local levels have responsibilities for regulating the safety, shipment and sale of food. The system would seem to be one of complete disorder, and to the outsider who examines it, it is. But it works with amazing efficiency.
Questions 26 to 28 are based on the passage you have just heard.

听力原文:W: Good evening. Today we'll talk about several interesting cultural artifacts that are a part of daily lives of the Japanese, and perhaps other Asian countries as well. We're very happy to have Ben Smith here.
M: Thank you.
W: Well, artifacts made of bamboo are very important in Japanese culture.
M: Yes. For hundreds and even thousands of years, the bamboo plant has played an important role in the lives of the Japanese, and at one time, it was believed that the Shinto gods could be found in the stem of the bamboo plant, and this is something that is portrayed in one of Japan's oldest tales, The Tale of the Bamboo Cutter.
W: That sounds interesting. Bamboo is a very versatile plant. It's light and flexible, but strong, and there are many varieties of it. They can be used to make various artifacts.
M: Yeah, and some of them are really exquisite.
W: Very happily, Mr. Smith has brought here several bamboo artifacts. So can you introduce them to us, Mr. Smith?
M: Sure. The first one is a chashaku. It is a tea spoon, and it is used for measuring powdered green tea during the tea ceremony.
W: That's fine. What about this?
M: Uh, it's a tea whisk. It is for mixing the powdered green tea in a small bowl until it becomes a foamy mixture.
W: Wow, it is so nice and I love it. Thank you for showing us these fine artifacts, Mr. Smith.
M: My pleasure.
