Oh, Moms big, bright eyes were closed tight, and her normally red face looked pale.Looking at sick Mom, I recalled the summer of 1981 when Granny was ill.That summer was unusually hot in Shanghai.

Having had no good meal several days running, Mom was obviously thinning.Mom is a music teacher. She not only teacher her students what love is all about with her songs but tells me by what she does that showing filial respect to parents is a virtue of our Chinese nation. Now that Mom is sick, I must take good care of her and be a fine daughter who is filial towards Mom.听力测试题录音文字稿:SECTION 1：LISTENING TESTPart A: Spot DictationDirections: In this part of the test, you will hear a passage and read the same passage with blanks in it. Fill in each of the blanks with the word or words you have heard on the tape. Write your answer in the corresponding space in your answer booklet. Remember you will hear the passage only once. Now lets begin Part A with Spot Dictation.The development of the Space Shuttle has dramatically reduced the cost of sending loads into space. The Shuttle takes off from Earth like a rocket, and lands again like a huge aircraft. It can transport not only its own crew, but also passengers, and has a huge cargo-hold which is capable of carrying large satellites or a space laboratory.Before the Space Shuttle was created, it was necessary to plan trips into space several years in advance. However, for the rest of the century it should be possible to make space flights every week or so. Any scientist or engineer needing to travel into orbit will simply take the next Shuttle flight, stay as long as necessary, and then return at his or her convenience.It is difficult to imagine the immense opportunities created by the Shuttle. One of the great advantages of having a reusable space vehicle is that it can take one load after another into orbit. Very large space stations could not be launched in their complete form directly from Earth, but they could be built piece by piece in space. The Space Shuttle is likely to be used as a general “workhorse” for the rest of this century, and the building of such stations in orbit should become commonplace.Once these huge orbiting space stations are completed, they are likely to become the platforms from which hundreds of robot space ships could be launched cheaply and easily to explore the solar system and to start mining operations on the Moon. The technology needed for this is already developed and available. And because of commercial and military pressures to develop space technology, it is likely that governments will be increasingly willing to start extensive programs of space engineering, exploration and research.Part B: Listening Comprehension.

Fill in each of the blanks with the word or words you have heard on the tape. Write your answer in corresponding space in your answer booklet. Remember you will hear the passage only once. Now lets begin Part A with Spot Dictation.Doctors are starting to believe that laughter not only improves your state of mind, but actually affects your entire physical well-being. Britains first laughter therapist, Robert Holden says:“Instinctively we know that laughing help us feel healthy and alive. Each time we laugh we feel better and more content.”A French newspaper found that in 1930 the French laughed on average for nineteen minutes per day. By 1980 this had fallen to six minutes. Eight per cent of the people questioned said that they would like to laugh more. Other research suggests that children laugh on average about 400 times a day, but by the time they reach adulthood this had been reduced to about fifteen times. Somewhere in the process of growing up we lose an astonishing 385 laughs a day.William Fry, a psychiatrist from California studied the effects of laughter on the body. He got patients to watch funny films, and monitored their blood pressure, heart rate and muscle tone. He found that laughter has a similar effect to physical exercise. It speeds up the heart rate, increases blood pressure and quickens breathing. It also makes our facial a
