听力原文： Two men on a touring holiday of Britain were injured by an explosion in their motor caravan in the center of Norwich yesterday.
Shoppers, traders and businessmen in Red Lion Street were startled by a loud bang, and seconds later the two men leapt from the vehicle, which had stopped outside Barclays Bank.
Several people rushed to give assistance and helped to put out the fire inside the vehicle, a fight American truck converted to provide living accommodation, before Norwich firemen arrived.
The men—American Mr. Gary Houser, aged 25, of Ohio, who was driving, and his passenger Mr. Charles Lynn, 23, of Vancouver—were taken to Norfolk and Norwich Hospital with minor bums.
They were allowed to leave after treatment.
"I heard this explosion. It was pretty loud, I thought it could have been a bomb," said Mr. Leslie Webster, deputy clerk of the markets, who was working in his office in Red Lion Street.
"I looked out of the window and saw this chap leap from the van and roll on the pavement.
"Then another chap came out of the van. He seemed to be in a worse state—parts of his trousers were hanging in shreds below his knee. "
"I came downstairs to get a fire extinguisher, but by the time I got outside someone from the bank was in the van with an extinguisher. "
Mr. Webster, who lives at 71 Trinity Street, Norwich, said both victims were shocked. One was taken into the markers office to await an ambulance.
"The second man insisted on going back into the van to see if everything was all right, and five minutes later he came out with a drawer that was blazing," he added.
The explosion was also heard inside the bank. Staff provided a fire extinguisher and telephoned for an ambulance.
Although a plastic window was blown out, damage inside the vehicle was mainly superficial.
The two men have spent the last six months touring the Continent and had traveled to Norwich from Sneterton. At the time of the incident their wives were shopping in the city.

Directions: Read the following four texts. Answer the questions below each text by choosing A, B, C or D . Mark your answers on ANSWER SHEET 1.
As everyone knows, words constantly take on new meanings. Since these do not necessarily, nor even usually, take the place of the old ones, we should picture this process as the analogy of a tree throwing out new branches which themselves throw out subordinate branches. The new branches sometimes overshadow and kill the old one but by no means always. We shall again and again find the earliest senses of a word flourishing for centuries despite a vast overgrowth of later senses which might be expected to kill them.
When a word has several meanings historical circumstances often, make one of them dominant during a particular period. Thus "station" is now more likely to mean a railway station than anything else; "speculation" more likely to bear its financial sense than any other. Until this century "plane" had as its dominant meaning "a flat surface" or "a carpenter's tool to make a surface smooth", but the meaning "an aeroplane" is dominant now. The dominant sense of a word lies uppermost in our minds. Whenever we meet the word, our natural impulse is to give it that sense. We are often deceived. To an old author the word may mean something different.
One of my aims is to make the reading of old books easy as far as certain words are concerned. If we read an old poem with insufficient regard for the change of the dictionary meanings of words we won't be able to understand the poem the old author intended. And to avoid this, knowledge is necessary.
We see good words or good senses of words losing their edge or more rarely getting a new edge that serves some different purpose. "Verbicide", the murder of a word, happens in many ways. Inflation is the commonest: those who taught us to say "awfully" for "very", "tremendous" for "great", and "unthinkable" for "undesirable" were verbicides.
I should be glad if I sent any reader away with a sense of responsibility to the language. It is unnecessary to think we can do nothing about it. Our conversation will have little effect, but if we get into print -- perhaps especially if we are leader-writers or reporters -- we can help to strengthen or weaken some disastrous word, can encourage a good and resist a bad Americanism. For many things the press prints today will be taken up by a great mass of people in a few years.
In the first paragraph the author believes ______.
