Passage 1
Archaeologists have long thought that stone ships served as graves for one or several individuals, and have even been viewed as death ships _1_ to take the dead to living eternally. However, a new study conducted by researchers from the University of Gothenburg shows a different picture. It suggests Bronze Age stone monuments in the form. of ships were built by sailors as a symbol of their practices at sea. The study indicates that the stone ships and the activities that took place there point to people who were _2_ focused on practices at sea.Details found within the stone structures show they were built to _3_ real ships. The stone ships offer up _4_ about the ship-building techniques of the time and about the ships that sailed on the Baltic Sea during the Bronze Age. “These consist of areas that resemble hill forts and are located near easily _5_ points in the landscape—that is, near well-known waterways leading inland,” Wehlin, head of the team, said. “While these areas have previously been thought to be much younger, recent age _6_ have dated them to the Bronze Age.” Archaeologists have believed that bronze was _7_ to Scandinavia from the south, and recent analyses have helped confirm this _8_. However, the people who distributed the bronze objects are _9_ addressed in these thoughts. “One reason why the meeting places of the Bronze Age are not discussed very often is that we haven’t been able to find them,” Wehlin said. “This is in _10_ contrast to the trading places of the Viking Age, which have been easy to locate as they left behind such rich archaeological material.”

听力原文： (33) Our environment is being polluted faster than nature and man's present efforts can prevent it. Time is bringing us more people, and more people will bring us more industry, more motor vehicles, larger cities, and the growing use of man-made materials. What can explain and solve this problem? The fact is that pollution is caused by man--by his desire for a modern way of life. (34)We make "increasing industrialization" our chief aim. For its sake, we are willing to sacrifice everything: clean air, pure water, good food, our health and the future of our children. There is a constant flow of people from the countryside into the cities, eager for the benefits of modern society. But as our technological achievements have grown in the last twenty years, pollution has become a serious problem. Isn't it time we stopped to ask ourselves where we are going and why?
It is like the story about the airline pilot who told his passengers over the loudspeaker: "I've some good news and some bad news. The good news is that we're making rapid progress at 530 miles per hour. The bad news is that we're lost and don't know where we're going." (35)The sad fact is that this becomes a true story when applied to our modern society.

听力原文： Throughout history man has changed his physical environment in order to improve his way of life.
With the tools of technology he has altered many physical features of the earth. He has transformed wood lands into farmland, and made lakes and reservoirs out of rivers for irrigation purposes or hydroelectric power. Man has also modified the face of the earth by draining marshes and cutting through mountains to build roads and railways.
However, man's changes to the physical environment have not always had beneficial results. Today, pollution of the air and water is an increasing danger to the health of the planet. Each day thousands of tons of gases come out of the exhausts of motor vehicles; smoke from factories pollutes the air of industrialized areas and the surrounding areas of countryside. The air in cities is becoming increasingly unhealthy.
The pollution of water is equally harmful. In the sea, pollution from oil is increasing and is killing enormous numbers of algae ( a very simple plant without stems or leaves that grows in or near water), fish and birds. The whole ecological balance of the sea is being changed. The same problem exists in rivers, Industrial wastes have already made many rivers lifeless.
Conservationists believe that it is now necessary for man to limit the growth of technology in order to survive on earth.
