听力原文： Over a six-week period, ABC news’ chief investigative correspondent Brian Ross and his team turned in 20 wallets or purs to 20 police officers chon at random in Los Angeles. Varying amounts of cash were put in each, as well as numerous pieces of identification, with names, address and phone numbers. In fact, Ross ud this technique back in the 1970s as a local reporter in Miami, when confidence in public officials at all levels was at an all-time low. The results of that wallet test did little to boost public confidence: 10 of the 31 wallets given to officers in the Miami area were never recovered, and two of them were turned in but the cash was missing. A number of the officers were fired or took early retirement after that report. Almost 30 years later, police honesty and integrity are again being called into question, most recently in Los Angeles, where the police department is trying to recover from a rious corruption scandal in its Rampart Division. The Results: Of the 20 Los Angeles police officers who were given wallets and purs, every single one turned in the wallet and the money. Not a penny was missing from the wallets, which were given to officers of all races, throughout the city. “Police officers have only one legacy and that’s their integrity, their honesty,” says Lo
s Angeles Police Chief Bernard Parks. “Their word means a lot. . . and people believe in that badge and what it reprents. “

听力原文： W: When I was getting divorced in 1975, reporters and cameramen were camped out for days in the lobby and on the sidewalk outside. They came from all over the country. Foreign reporters too. It was terrible. My neighbors could barely get in and out of the building. One reporter, who had been a friend of mine, got up to my apartment after persuading the doorman into believing that he was there on a personal visit. I wouldn’t let him in. He just wanted to talk, he said. I was certain that he had a camera and wanted a picture of me looking depresd. I just couldn’t believe this attempt to invade my privacy. TV is the worst. TV reporters prent themlves as having the perfect right to be anywhere, to ask any question. It doesn’t matter how personal the matter may be. People don母子xxx’t trust the press the way they ud to. In most cas, stories are nsationalized in order to attract more public attention. Some papers print things that simply are not true. In many papers, if a correction has to be made, it’s usually buried among advertiments. I’ve received hundreds of letters from people asking me how do you know what’s true in the press the days. I find it difficult to respond sometimes. I tell them that there are good newspapers and rious, responsible and hon
est reporters. Don’t judge all of us by the standards of the bad ones. Unless the guys at the top—the editors and the news directors— take firm action, pretty soon no one is going to believe anything they read in the papers or e on television news.
6．
正确答案：cameramen／camera men
解析：文章开头谈到当她离婚时，众多的新闻记者和——在她门口等了数天，可以推测与记者有关，后面再提到cameramen就容易接受。
7．
正确答案：a personal visit
解析：他们滋扰她多日，使邻居进出都困难，而一个也是记者身份的朋友试图与她交谈，只是以朋友的身份，所以答案必须是a personal visit。如果少了personal答案就没有意义了。

8．
正确答案：depresd
车娅婷解析：记者想给她拍照，无非是想拍到她沮丧的表情，因此她固守着不让人进来。此题完全可以通过阅读题目猜出，一个女人离婚了，闭门不出，不是伤心就是沮丧。注意不能写成depressing。
9．
正确答案：among advertiments
解析：此题从上下文中可以得到线索，报纸老登一些错误的东西，当它们不得不订正时，他们会把勘误放在广告当中，所以advertiment肯定要用复数形式。
10．
正确答案：take firm action
解析：此题的线索是Unless the guys at the top—the editors and the news directors—take firm action，pretty soon no one is going to believe anything they read inthe papers or e on television news．题目中出现了the editors and the news directors，只要考生在听时注意这些词后面是什么就行了。

You now have 15 cons to read questions 11 - 13.(Pau 00’15”)(Tone) M: Emily Dickinson is one of the
greatest American poets. She was born in a typical New England village in Massachutts on December 10,1830. She was the cond child of the family. She died in the same hou fifty-six years later. During her lift time she never left her native land. She left her home state only once. She lefe her village very few times. And after 1872 she rarely left her hou and yard. In the last years of her life she retreated to a smaller and smaller circle of family and friends. In tho later years she dresd in white, avoided strangers, and communicated chiefly through notes and poems even with intimates. The doctor who attended her illness was allowed to “examine” her in another room, eing her walk by an opened door. She was thought of as a “strange” figure in her home village. When she died on May 15, 1886, she was unknown to the rest of the world. Only ven of her poems had appeared in print. But to think of Emily Dickinson only as a strange figure is a rious mistake. She lived simply and deliberately. She faced the esntial facts of life. According to Henry James, a famous American novelist, she was one of tho on whom nothing was lost. Only by thus living could Dickinson manage both to fulfill her obigations as a daughter, a sister, and a houkeeper and to write on average o
ne poem a day. She read only a few books but knew them deeply. Her poems are simple but remarkably rich. Not until the 1950s was she recognized as one of the greatest American poets.
