听力原文：M: Did you see that TV special on Norman Rockwell last night？
W: Yes, I did. It was really good, wasn't it？
M: It sure was. I thought it was really interesting how he developed the paintings in states starting with photographs.
W: Yes, I did, too. It never occurred to me that he would have actually employed models.
M: I know. But it does make sense to use photographs of real people, to solve as many of the composition problems as possible before starting to paint.
W: True. Anyway, you know what I like most about his work？
M: What？
W: Well, when you look at one of the magazine covers, which magazine was it？
M: The Saturday Evening Post.
W: Yes, you can just tell what the people are thinking and feeling. The picture really tells a story.
M: You're right. I like that, too. And to think that he created several hundred of those.
W: Amazing. Of course, that was over a period of almost sixty years, but still...
M: I'd like to see them when that exhibit comes to Miami.
W: What exhibit？
M: The one they mentioned after the special.
W: Oh. I must have turned it off before the announcement. I'd like to see it, too. let's go.

听力原文： The Antarctic is probably the most difficult place on earth for human beings to survive. For six months of the year there is total darkness, and temperature may fall as low as - 88℃. Even in the summer months the tempera rare is often below zero.
The first successful expedition to the South Pole was led by Ronald Amundsen. His team used dogs and sledges to cross the frozen continent, and reached the pole in December 1911.
In 1928, Richard Byrd decided to lead an expedition to the Antarctic to explore the unknown area from the air for the first time. It was the largest and best equipped expedition that had ever set out for the Antarctic. Byrd and his team established a base which they called Little America on the coast of the Rosa Sea. In November 1929, during the Antarctic spring, Byrd and three colleagues flew from the Little America base to the South Pole and back in 19 hours.
Byrd's major achievement was to introduce the use of aircraft, radio and other devices in polar exploration. He did not agree with Ronald Amundsen that the airplanes would one day replace dogs and sledges; he believed that modern techniques were only an addition to the traditional methods of exploration. All of his expeditions, therefore, carried dogs and sledges, and people to look after them. This proved very efficient, and Byrd was able to achieve results of great scientific value.
What is the lowest. temperature in the Antarctic？
How long did it take Byrd and his colleagues to fly from Little America to the South Pole

Time is running out if the deadline is to be met. And this has brought individual political blocs closer to agreement among themselves on a number of the outstanding issues. But sources close to the discussion say the question of the actual distribution of resources, particularly the lucrative revenue from oil between the country's regions, remains contentious at this point, and it bears on the whole issue of federalism which has been the biggest sticking point throughout this past week of negotiations. So not only this trading continue between the parties in the present government, but a broader consensus on the constitution has yet to be achieved before the document is put to parliament. The alternative is a partial deal that some say would be realistic, others futile.
Iraqi political leaders are bargaining to reach an agreement on ______.
