第1题：
听力原文： Some people dream of being President of the United States. Some dream of becoming stars in a Hollywood movie, and others of making millions of dollars overnight. But, could a dream like that come true in real life? Well, it did happen to Peter Johnson. Peter was an auto mechanic. One day, he walked into the Union Trust Bank in Baltimore and took 5,000 dollars that did not belong to him. The guards and other employees stood back and let him stuff the bills in his shirt and pants without trying to prevent him from taking the money. No one tripped an alarm. No one pulled a gun. No one called the police. Why did they allow him to get away with it?
Well, everything was legal. Peter had won a contest promoted by a Baltimore radio station. The first prize entitled him to enter the Union Trust Bank and gather up as much money as he could lay his hands within five minutes. Because he could not bring any large bags or boxes into the bank, all the money had to be placed in his pockets.
As the time went by, Peter ran about wildly, trying to pick up as many large bills as he could find. When his time was up, he was out of breath, but was ＄5,000 richer.
Why did Peter go to the Union Trust bank?
A．To withdraw his deposit.
B．To cash a cheek.
C．To get his prize.
D．To rob the bank.
正确答案：C
解析：根据第三段第三句可知他进入银行的原因是为了获取他的奖励。 -

The famous director of a big and expensive movie planned to film a beautiful sunset over the ocean,so that the audience could see his hero and heroine(男女英雄)in front of it at the end of the film as they said goodbye to each other forever．He sent his camera crew(摄制组)out one evening to film the sunset for him．
The next morning he said to the men,“Have you provided me with that sunset ”
“No,sir,”the man answered．
The director was angry．“Why not ”he asked．
“Well,sir,”one of the men answered,“we’re on the east coast here,and the sun sets in the west．We can get you a sunrise over the sea,if necessary,but not a sunset．”
“But I want a sunset!”the director shouted．“Go to the airport,take the next flight to the west coast,and get one．”
But then a young secretary had an idea．“Why don’t you photograph a sunrise,”she suggested,“and then play it backwards Then it’ll look like a sunset．”
“That’s a good idea!”the director said．Then he turned to the camera crew and said,“Tomorrow morning I want you to get me a beautiful sunrise over the sea．”

The“sunset”began,but after a quarter of minute,the director suddenly put his face in his hands and shouted to the camera to stop．
