解析：[听力原文]
Regional airlines in the United States are short of pilots. Many older airline pilots are retiring.
Federal regulations require pilots to take time off between flights to rest. Pilots are staying
at their jobs overseas and in the military. Republic Airways, a regional airline, filed for
bankruptcy last week. Low profit and the pilot shortage were factors in the bankruptcy , according


to the Associated Press. Also, Americas largest airlines are hiring pilots from regional airlines.

There are too few pilots to fill the vacancies. Some openings are being filled through flight
schools. But flight school attendance is down. That means trained pilots are difficult to locate.
Salaries for new pilots are low. The starting salary for first officers in the regional airline
industry is $$ 22 400, according to The Los Angeles Times. That salary is keeping pilots in the


military and working for foreign competitors .
Captain Lee Moak is past president of Air Line Pilots Association International. He told The Los




Angeles Times that here is a shortage of pay and benefits for pilots in the regional airlines


industry, not a shortage of pilots.

解析：[听力原文]
W: Excuse me, Professor. I have a question. Im worried about my English skills. I get good marks
on tests, but I don feel that Ive learnt a lot.
M: Well, its a good concern. But don worry. Many advanced English learners have a large passive


vocabulary, but they worry about their active vocabulary . They can understand many difficult



English words when reading or listening, but they don use most of them when speaking or writing


in English . They feel this is a problem. They would like to use all the difficult words that
they know.
W: You mean I use too few words?
M: Thats not what Im saying at all. Actually, Im saying the opposite thing.
W: Im afraid I can follow you.
M: In your native language, there are also thousands of words that you understand but you don
use. So your active vocabulary in your native language is much smaller than your passive vocabulary .




And I guess that you are not worried about that.
W: No, Im not. But I would like to use the new words that I learn in my English classes. How
else am I going to remember them?

M: Well, thats a very good question.
W: I was hoping that you had an answer to this question.
M: You don need to worry about using oo few English words . As your needs for different things


grow, you will be able to use your new words more and more. I think youd be surprised by how
much you know.
W: OK, I hope so.

解析：[听力原文]
Women are joining together all over the world to mark the International Womens Day on March 8.


On Tuesday women poured through Londons streets, singing loudly for womens rights. The banners


they carried trained a spotlight on the range of issues still at hand: health, education, and
politics to name a few. Among the demonstrators in London was the musician and activist Annie
Lennox. She said the fight for womens rights isn over. There is still so much work to be done
with regards to parity for women, equality for womens rights all around the world—not only in
the developed countries, Lennox said. We
e here in the UK and theres actually four other
marches going across different bridges across the entire world. The march on Londons Millennium
Bridge Tuesday signified the Bridge of Peace that organizers say they want to build through
conflict zones all over the world. Women gathered in the conflict- ridden eastern region of the


Democratic Republic of Congo, Afghanistan and Iraq. In London, a number of leading female


politicians and activists joined the demonstration. One of them was Dr. Habiba Sarabi. In 2005,


she was made Afghanistans first and only female governor. She says she wants to empower women


in her country and shows the international community that Afghanistan is moving forward. Working
as a female governor is not an easy job. It was for the first time in Afghanistan, Sarabi said.
But I did it because I want to prove that women can do in a society like Afghanistan something
that men can do.

Why did women in London pour through streets on Tuesday?

解析：[听力原文]
Old age may not sound exciting. But recent findings offer good news for older people and for people
worried about getting older. Researchers found that people become happier and experience less
worry after they reach the age of 50. The findings came from a survey of more than 340 000 adults
in the United States. The Gallup Organization questioned them by telephone last year. At that


time, the people were between the ages of 18 and 85. The researchers asked questions about emotions
like happiness, sadness and worry. They also asked about mental or emotional stress. Arthur Stone
in the Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Science at Stony Brook University in New York led
the study. The findings showed that levels of stress were highest among adults between the ages
of 22 and 25, but stress levels dropped sharply after people reached their 50s. Happiness was
highest among the youngest adults and those in their early 70s. The study also showed that men




and women have similar emotional patterns as they grow older. However, women at all ages reported


more sadness, stress and worry than men. Researchers say they do not know why happiness increases


as people get older. One theory is that, as people grow older, they grow more thankful for what
they have and have better control of their emotions. They also spend less time thinking about
bad experiences. Prof. Stone says the emotional patterns could be linked to changes in how people


see the world, or maybe even changes in brain chemistry.

Why does happiness increase as people get older according to Prof. Stone?

to freeze fish.
to dry fish. √
to can fish.
to smoke fish.

解析：[听力原文]
There are different ways to store fish. Two ways to keep fish for future use are canning and freezing.
Two other methods are drying and smoking. Today we will introduce how to prepare dried fish. Begin


with fish that are just out of the water. If the fish are small, leave their heads on. Cut off
the heads if the fish are longer than 20 centimeters or weigh more than 115 grams. Now clean the
freshly caught fish, cut off the scales and cut open the stomach to remove everything inside.
Then wash the fish in clean water and rub salt into them. Next, put the fish in a container with
a solution of 300 grams of salt and one liter of water, which can remove the blood from the meat.


After keeping the fish in the saltwater for about 30 minutes, wash them again in clean water.
Then, put the fish in a solution that has more salt in the water. The water should be salty enough


so that the fish float to the top. Cover the container with a clean piece of wood and place a

heavy stone on the wood to hold it down, leaving them there for about six hours. After that, remove
the fish from the saltwater and place them on a clean drying table with a clean piece of white
cloth covering it. For best results, put the drying table under a tree, turning the fish over


every other day. Small fish will dry in about three days if the air is dry while large ones will


take a week or ten days to dry.

度要高地足以使鱼漂在水面上。本题问的是如果鱼沉到容器底部怎么办，根据短文内容 可知，如果鱼沉在容器底部，说
明盐的浓度不够，这时应该做的是在水中在多加盐。
more the salt is used, the better the fish tastes.
heads of the fish should be cut off before being dried.
fish should be out of bright sunlight while being dried. √
