W: Good evening. Which Evening Class would you like to enrol for?
M: I've been thinking about taking this course in Modern Guitar. Are there any vacancies?
W: Well, there are.., nine, ten, eleven enrollments so far on the list. So that means we've got
four places left. The class seems to be filling up much more quickly this year. You'll find the
details in this brochure.
M: Will it be starting next week?
W: We hope so. It's due to begin on Tuesday,7pm to 9pm. Shall I put you down? We'll have stopped
taking any more names by this evening so if you...
M: Can you tell me where the course is held?
W: Oh, it's in the Main Building, second floor, room 219. Immediately opposite the library. You
can't miss it. There are posters of pop groups all over the walls.
M: I see. And if I do enroll, what will I need for the first lesson?
W: Well, you'll be needing a guitar, of course, That's absolutely essential. You'll also have
to have a student tuition book. There are copies on sale in the book room. We get them quite a
bit cheaper from an educational supplier so you can buy one at a bargain price!

W: Er... the course fee is ￡ 12.60 a term. That's twelve weeks. The student book costs￡ 1.50
and if you don't actually own a guitar presumably you'll have to buy or borrow one. You can get
a second-hand one for around ￡ 20 to ￡ 50 for a fairly reliable instrument, depending on the
sound quality and general condition.

Alaska belonged to Russia until the United States purchased the territory just after the Civil
War. Influences of the Russian period are to be seen in Southeast, Southwest, and Central Alaska
today. You drive to quiet, peaceful communities on the Kenai Peninsula, or fly to Kodiak or Sitka,
and step back into a simpler, less hurried time. Strolling through the grounds of a Russian Orthodox
church is like stepping back into nineteenth- century Russia, but you' re still in the United States.

Anchorage, the commercial hub and home for nearly half of the state's 400,000 residents, is one
of the youngest major cities in the United States. Anchorage today is an 'air crossroads' to more
than 1.5 million passengers who shuttle each year over the Pole between Europe and the Far East
or who fly on direct flights to Alaska from the West Coast and Midwest cities. You don't know
quite what to expect when your jet lands at Anchorage. The name sounds nautical, but driving into
town you realize you've entered a familiar, modern city. Here, Alaskans have pushed a hole in
the frontier and made an exciting urban oasis. Your surprise makes it all the more exciting.

Born Cassius Clay in Louisville, Kentucky, in 1942, Muhammad Ali retired from boxing in 1980.
As an amateur, he won 100 of 108 fights. Later, as a professional boxer, Ali was trained by Angelo
Dundee, who pushed him on to face champion boxer Sonny Liston in 1964; in this exciting match,
Liston was unable to continue the fight after the sixth round.
After winning the championship fight against Liston, Ali announced that he had joined the Black
Muslim religion. At the time, the Vietnam War was in progress. When Ali claimed to be a
conscientious objector to the war, based on religious grounds, he was denied exemption from
military service. Refusing to be inducted into the U. S. Army, he was stripped of his right to
box and was given a five-year prison sentence, a conviction that was reversed three years later.
Once again able to enter the ring, Muhammad Ali became the first man to win the world' s heavy
weight boxing title three times.

cat snake.
解析：[听力原文] Questions -
The rattlesnake, often considered the deadliest of all North American snakes, has often been the
subject of research and discussion among naturalists. This snake earns its name from the presence
of rings of tough skin on its tail that remain when sloughing, or the dropping off of skin occurs.
Whenever a rattlesnake is agitated, it begins to move its tail, a motion that causes the rings
of hardened skin to make a rattling noise.
Most naturalists believe that this noise is an involuntary reaction that results from the
nervousness of the reptile; they do not think that the rattlesnake is attempting to convey a warning
to its possible victim. Studies have revealed that the rattlesnake is the only venomous snake
that gives a signal before striking and, in fact, this reptile is the only species that has rattles.
However, both the bull snake and the fox snake also vibrate their tails rapidly whenever they
become nervous. Whether or not the rattlesnake should be called “the gentleman among snakes”
because of the noise it makes before striking is an interesting question.
