6.单项选择题听力原文： Americans recognize that there is a past on which the present rests. But they have not developed their sense of the depth of time to the extent that this has been done in the Middle East and South Asia. The Arab looks back two to six thousand years for his own origins. History is used as the basis for almost any modern action. The chances are that an Arab won't start a talk or a speech or analyze a problem without first developing the historical aspects of his subject. The Americans assumes that time has depth, but he takes this for granted.
The Americans never questions the fact that time should be planned and future events fitted into a schedule. He thinks that people should look forward to the future and not dwell too much on the past. His future is not very far ahead of him. Results must be obtained in the foreseeable future-one or two years or, at the most, five or ten. Promises to meet deadlines and appointments are taken very seriously. There are real penal ties for being late and for not keeping commitments in time. The American thinks it is natural to quantify time. To fail to do so is unthinkable. The American specifies how much time is required to do everything. 'I'll be there in ten minutes.' 'It will take six months to finish that job.' 'I was in the Army for four and a half years.
How far does the Arab look back for his own origins?

A.
B.'
C.'
D.
How
E.Twenty
F.Two
G.A
H.
D．Hundreds

7.单项选择题听力原文：W: Tom, have you seen The Fifth Element?
M: Yes, I think the pictures are beautiful. And I know some reviewers observed that this movie might actually be a milestone in movie making. It took US $17 million on its first weekend, a more than respectable total.
W: Oh? They really said so? But I think it's a story less movie, although it's a big budget one. Don't you think it resembles video games, the crafted aliens, a deafening sound track, and striking minor characters--it has no coherent story to hang it all on.
M: I quite agree with you. Story is the soul of a meaningful film, the key to involving the audience emotionally.
W: I used to like Steven Spielberg. His work had always been a balance of story and technical things. But in his most recent movie, The Lost World, the sequel to Jurassic Park, the story is almost an afterthought to the spectacle. The dinosaurs are rediscovered and again eat a lot of people, which character development hardly gets a look in. The film simply relies on action to keep the drama going.
M: But thanks to a US $ 40 million market campaign, The Lost World broke all box office records for its first four days and Steve Spielberg was tipped to earn from the movie far more than that $ 300 million he collect ed from Jurassic Park.
