[05:11.85]And it was something a lot of people thought couldn't be done.
[05:16.24]When President Kennedy said in 1961 that we were going to the moon,
[05:22.64]we had a total of 16 minutes of space flight experience.
[05:28.05]Yet we made it.I lived on the moon for 75 hours.
[05:33.84]It was like parking a car in the desert and living out of it.
[05:39.54]Looking back,it sometimes seems unreal because we quit.
[05:45.63]We went to the moon,then we came home.
[05:49.70]The disappointing thing is that I'm still the last moonwalker.

[07:59.35]The $60,000 awards are given annually14 to representatives from six continents.
[08:07.65]One of the prize winners is Roland Tiensuu,a twelve-year-old Swedish boy.
[08:14.63]He thinks that preserving the earth is too important to be left to grownups.Three years ago,
[08:22.41]the boy learned15 from his teacher about the destruction16 of the rain forests in Latin17 America.
[08:29.31]Tiensuu was worried that by the time he and his classmates grew up,
[08:35.42]there would be no rain forests left to save.He thought they should do something.
[08:41.93]One day he saw a television program
[08:46.63]where people planted trees to replace one of those that had been cut down.
[08:52.22]But,of course, Tiensuu couldn't do that because he lived far away in Sweden.
[08:59.22]Then he thought that instead they could buy the rain forest Tiensuu and his classmates
[09:07.32]organized a sale in their small village
[09:11.21]and raised enough money to buy 10 acres of rain forest in Costa Rica,
[09:17.30]School children in Sweden,Germany,Japan and the US have followed his example

[10:31.75]Questions 22-25 are based on a talk on the cloning of human beings,
[10:43.13]i.e. the artificial20 reproduction of human beings.You now have 2o seconds to read these questions.
[10:54.13]W:Welcome to the Genetic21 World.
[11:18.32]Dr.Smith is going to give his opinion about the cloning of human beings.
[11:24.51]Dr.smith,is it possible to copy human beings at present?
[11:30.81]M:Well,the cloning of human beings is a very inefficient22 procedure23.
[11:36.69]Even if the technique were perfected,
[11:40.50]we must ask ourselves what practical value human cloning might have.Why do we copy people?
[11:49.09]Firstly,couples unable to have children might choose to have a copy of one of them.
[11:55.70]The parents would be more likely to place higher expectation
[12:01.08]on the cloned child than average parents.
[12:05.26]Cloning is also suggested as a means of bringing back a relative,usually a child,killed tragically24.
[12:13.86]But it must be first recognized that the copy would be a new child and not the lost child.
[12:21.75]Thirdly,copying is suggested as a means by which parents can have the child of their dreams.
[12:29.53]Couples might chose to have a copy of a film star,
[12:34.63]baseball player or scientist,depending on their interest.
[12:39.72]But what if the child does not live up to their hopes.
[12:44.53]In my opinion,each child should be wanted for itself,as an individual.
[12:51.32]I suggest that there is a greater need to consider the interests of the child.
[12:57.33]And we should reject these proposed25 uses of cloning.
[13:02.42]You have one minute to answer questions 22-25.
[13:09.42]22.What do we learn about the technique for the cloning of human beings?
[13:13.42](A)perfect(B)inadequate(C)undesirable(D)insufficient
[13:18.62]23.For a couple unable to have children, what would their attitude towardthe cloned child?
[13:21.83](A)They might find it hard to live with him.(B)They might love him so much as to spoil26 him.
[13:33.01](C)They might expect too much from him.
[13:38.00](D)They might love him more than average parents do.
[13:41.39]24.What will probably be a danger for parents with a cloned child?
[13:45.10](A)The parents' dream is nothing but a false illusion27.
[13:50.30](B)The child will not look like their former child.
[13:54.40](C)The child will be spoiled.(D)The child may fail to fulfil28 the parents' dream.
[13:57.90]25.What is the speaker's opinion of the cloning of children?
[14:01.48](A)The children's interests are more important.
[14:08.77](B)The parents' wishes should be respected.

[04:11.06]W:Hello.Today is the 30th anniversary8 of the first moon landing9.On July 20th,1969,
[04:37.16]man landed on the moon for the first time.
[04:41.26]Over the next several years,a total of 12 men walked across the moon.
[04:47.87]The last man to do so was Eugene German.

[04:58.66]What are your thoughts on this anniversary?
[05:02.76]M:How did 30 years go by so quickly?
[05:07.17]It was the greatest endeavor10 in the history of mankind.
[05:11.85]And it was something a lot of people thought couldn't be done.
[05:16.24]When President Kennedy said in 1961 that we were going to the moon,
[05:22.64]we had a total of 16 minutes of space flight experience.
[05:28.05]Yet we made it.I lived on the moon for 75 hours.
[05:33.84]It was like parking a car in the desert and living out of it.
[05:39.54]Looking back,it sometimes seems unreal because we quit.
[05:45.63]We went to the moon,then we came home.
[05:49.70]The disappointing thing is that I'm still the last moonwalker.
[05:55.19]We should have gone back to the moon and on our way to Mars11.
[05:59.99]I gave myself 28 years for that to happen.
[06:04.70]W:Would you like to go to Mars?M:Yes.Absolutely.

[07:20.48]You now have 20 seconds to read the questions.
[07:25.15]Have you ever heard of the Goldman Environmental Foundation13 in San Francisco?
[07:49.84]Its motto is "think globally,act locally."It has created a prize for the green movement.
[07:59.35]The $60,000 awards are given annually14 to representatives from six continents.
[08:07.65]One of the prize winners is Roland Tiensuu,a twelve-year-old Swedish boy.
[08:14.63]He thinks that preserving the earth is too important to be left to grownups.Three years ago,
[08:22.41]the boy learned15 from his teacher about the destruction16 of the rain forests in Latin17 America.
[08:29.31]Tiensuu was worried that by the time he and his classmates grew up,
[08:35.42]there would be no rain forests left to save.He thought they should do something.
[08:41.93]One day he saw a television program
[08:46.63]where people planted trees to replace one of those that had been cut down.
[08:52.22]But,of course, Tiensuu couldn't do that because he lived far away in Sweden.
[08:59.22]Then he thought that instead they could buy the rain forest Tiensuu and his classmates
[09:07.32]organized a sale in their small village
[09:11.21]and raised enough money to buy 10 acres of rain forest in Costa Rica,
[09:17.30]School children in Sweden,Germany,Japan and the US have followed his example
[09:25.08]As a result,part of the rain forest has been named Children's Eternal18 Forest.
[09:32.66]You have one minute to answer questions 18-21.

[09:57.76](D)Preventing destruction of rain forests.

[10:08.16](C)They appealed to the Swedish government for support.(D)They used their pocket money.

[10:31.75]Questions 22-25 are based on a talk on the cloning of human beings,
[10:43.13]i.e. the artificial20 reproduction of human beings.You now have 2o seconds to read these questions.
[10:54.13]W:Welcome to the Genetic21 World.
[11:18.32]Dr.Smith is going to give his opinion about the cloning of human beings.
[11:24.51]Dr.smith,is it possible to copy human beings at present?
[11:30.81]M:Well,the cloning of human beings is a very inefficient22 procedure23.
[11:36.69]Even if the technique were perfected,
[11:40.50]we must ask ourselves what practical value human cloning might have.Why do we copy people?
[11:49.09]Firstly,couples unable to have children might choose to have a copy of one of them.
[11:55.70]The parents would be more likely to place higher expectation
[12:01.08]on the cloned child than average parents.
[12:05.26]Cloning is also suggested as a means of bringing back a relative,usually a child,killed tragically24.
[12:13.86]But it must be first recognized that the copy would be a new child and not the lost child.
[12:21.75]Thirdly,copying is suggested as a means by which parents can have the child of their dreams.
[12:29.53]Couples might chose to have a copy of a film star,
[12:34.63]baseball player or scientist,depending on their interest.
[12:39.72]But what if the child does not live up to their hopes.
[12:44.53]In my opinion,each child should be wanted for itself,as an individual.
[12:51.32]I suggest that there is a greater need to consider the interests of the child.
[12:57.33]And we should reject these proposed25 uses of cloning.
[13:02.42]You have one minute to answer questions 22-25.
[13:09.42]22.What do we learn about the technique for the cloning of human beings?
[13:13.42](A)perfect(B)inadequate(C)undesirable(D)insufficient
[13:18.62]23.For a couple unable to have children, what would their attitude towardthe cloned child?
[13:21.83](A)They might find it hard to live with him.(B)They might love him so much as to spoil26 him.
[13:33.01](C)They might expect too much from him.
[13:38.00](D)They might love him more than average parents do.
[13:41.39]24.What will probably be a danger for parents with a cloned child?
[13:45.10](A)The parents' dream is nothing but a false illusion27.
[13:50.30](B)The child will not look like their former child.
[13:54.40](C)The child will be spoiled.(D)The child may fail to fulfil28 the parents' dream.
[13:57.90]25.What is the speaker's opinion of the cloning of children?
[14:01.48](A)The children's interests are more important.
[14:08.77](B)The parents' wishes should be respected.
[14:13.16](C)The reasons for cloning children are justified29.(D)There is a need to clone children.
