Part 2 Listening for Gist
For hundreds of years man has been fascinated by the idea of flying. One of the first men to produce designs for aircraft was Leonardo da Vinci, an Italian artist who lived in the fifteenth century. However, it was not until the eighteenth century that people began to fly, or perhaps it would be better to say float, across the countryside in balloons. The first hot-air balloon was made in April 1783 by the Montgolfier brothers in France.
In the following years many flights were made by balloon. Some of the flights were for pleasure and others were for delivering mail and for military purpos, such as obrvation and even bombing. However, in the late nineteenth century, airship s superded balloons as a form of transport.
Airships came after balloons. The first powered and manned flight was made by a Frenchman, Giffar
d, in September 1852. His airship, powered by steam, traveled twenty-ven kilometers from Paris to Trappes at a speed of eight kilometers per hour. However the days of the airship were numbered as the aero- plane became increasingly safe and popular.

Part 1 Dialogue
Buying a Car
B: Yes, I'm interested in buying a car.
A: Have you anything in mind?
B: Not really.
A: What price are you thinking of?
B: Not more than ￡13,500.
A: Let's e now ... Over there between the Lancia and the Volvo is a Mini. It costs ￡12,830 and is cheap to run: It does 38 miles per gallon. Or there's the Citroen, behind the Mini. It costs ￡12,070 and is even cheaper to run than the Mini: It does 45 miles per gallon. It's not very fast though. It only does 69 miles per hour.
B: No, I think the Mini and the Citroen are too small. I've got three children.
Isn't there anything bigger at that price?
A: Well, there's the Toyota over there, to the left of the Peugeot. It's very comfortable and costs ￡13,
040. It's cheap to run too, and it also has a built-in radio. Or there's the Renault at the back of the showroom, behind the Peugeot. It costs a little more,￡13,240, but it is cheaper to run. It does 40 miles per gallon and the Toyota only does 36 miles per gallon.

A: That costs a little more than ￡13,500 but it's a very reliable car. It's more expensive to run than the others: It does 34 miles per gallon, but it's faster.
Its top speed is 90 miles per hour. The Toyota's is 80 miles per hour and the Renault's is 82 miles per hour.

Part 2 Passage
The Wrights’ Story
On the morning of December 17, 1903, between 10: and noon, four flights were made, two by Orville Wright and two by Wilbur Wright. The starts were all made from a point on the level sand about 200 feet west of our camp, which is located a quarter of a mile north of the Kill Devil sand hill, in Dare County, North Carolina.绿色的绿组词
The wind at the time of the flights had a velocity* of 27 miles an hour at , and 24 miles an hour at noon, as recorded by the anemometer* at the Kitty Hawk Weather Bureau Station.
The flights were directly against the wind. Each time the machine started from the level ground by its own power alone with no assistance from gravity or any other source whatever.
After a run of about 40 feet along a monorail* track, which held the machine 8 inches (20 centimeters) from the ground, it ro from the track and under the direction of the operator climbed upward on an inclined cour till a height of 8 or 10 feet from the ground was reached, after which the cour was kept as near horizontal as the wind gusts and the limited skill of the operator would permit.
Into the teeth of a December gale（逆风）the "Flyer" made its way forward with a speed of 10 miles an hour over the ground and 30 to 35 miles an hour through the air.
It had previously been decided that for reasons of personal safety the first trials should be made as clo to the ground as possible. The height chon was sufficient for maneuvering* in so gusty a wind and with no previous acquaintance with the conduct of the machine and its controlling mechanisms. Conquently the first flight was short.
The succeeding flights rapidly incread in length，and at the fourth trial a flight of 59 conds was made, in which time the machine flew a little more than half a mile through the air and a distance of 852 feet over the ground.
The landing was due to a slight error of judgment on the part of the aviator. After passing over a little
hummock* of sand, in attempting to bring the machine down to the desired height, the operator turned the rudder* too far, and the machine turned downward more quickly than had been expected. The rever movement of the rudder was a fraction of a cond(转瞬间，顷刻) too late to prevent the machine from touching the ground and thus ending the flight.
As winter was already well t in, we should have postponed the trials to a more favorable ason, but we were determined
to know whether the machine possd sufficient power to fly, sufficient strength to withstand the shocks of landings and sufficient capacity of control to make flight safe in boisterous* winds, as well as in calm air.
Exerci A Pre-listening Question
Orville Wright (1871-1948), American aeronautical engineer, famous for his role in the first controlled, powered flight in a heavier-than-air machine and for his participation in the design of the aircraft's control system. Wright worked cloly with his brother, Wilbur Wright (1867-1912), American aeronautical engineer, in designing and flying the Wright airplane.
During the years 1900, 1901, 1902, and 1903, the two brothers developed the first
effective airplane. At Kitty Hawk, North Carolina, on December 17, 1903, Orville Wright made the first successful flight of a piloted, heavier-than-air, lf-propelled craft, called the Flyer. The third Flyer, which the Wrights constructed in 1905, was the world's first fully practical airplane. It could bank, turn, circle, make figure eights, and remain in the air for as long as the fuel lasted, up to half an hour on occasion.
