第1题：
听力原文： Now European finance ministers are expected to reprimand the Irish government today after they meet in Brussels. They've been alarmed by December's budget in the Irish Republic which cut taxes and increased government spending. The other European countries fear this will stoke up inflation and undermine the stability of the Euro, the single currency.
Finance ministers from the European Unions 15 states are holding their regular monthly meeting in Brussels. They've been given the tricky task of handing out some public criticism to the government of the country with the most successful economy, the Irish Republic. In the last five years Ireland has boomed growing by an average eight percent a year, unemployment has reached its lowest level for 20 years and commodity prices in Dublin became more expensive than in London.
Why do other European countries criticize Ireland?
A．They worry that the Irish Republic's budget plan will undermine the stability of European Unions.
B．EU countries fear that Irish Republic's finance plan will cause inflation.
C．Other countries will have to cut taxes.
D．Other EU countries must increase government spending, too.

Passage 1
A lyric is a subjective poem of intense personal emotion whose principal quality is its musical form. Poe, master of the lyric, was led to explain all poetry as the rhythmical creation of beauty in words. Because great poetry is often pure music, haunting melody, and chiming syllables, the reader should not glance through poetry as he read his newspaper or the latest magazine--skipping a word here and a line there, and still hope to get what the author had intended for him. Poetry being music, like all other forms of music, it gains its meaning when interpreted by the human voice.
It is the special function of lyrical poetry to give pleasure through this musical quality no less than through fine contemplation of beauty it inspires--beauty of thought, of feeling, of expression, and of technical skill. But poetry is more than a great pleasure. It should also be an outlet for our own unspoken thoughts and our varied moods. It makes articulate our choked-up passageways of speech, giving adequate expression to our pent-up loves and joys and glories, and furnishes release and relief to our fears, grieves and sorrows. A great poet takes our half-formed thoughts, or suppressed moods, our crushed desires, and needs, and leads them out into the open, endowing them with a harmony, and completeness ...
Great verse can help to vitalize our thinking about the commonplace and elemental in life, and can idealize and give meaning to the simplest things in creation. Listen to Tennyson:
Flower in the crannied wall,
I pluck you out of the crannies,
I hold you here, root and all, in my hand,
Little flower--but if I could understand,
What you are, root and all, and all in all,
I should know what God and man is.
Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A. The lyric is beautiful poetry of action and story.
B. The most important feature of the lyric is its musical form.
C. Poetry gains its meaning when read silently and carefully.
D. Poe defined all poetry as pure music with chiming syllables.答案：B解析：根据“A lyric is a subjective poem of intense personal emotion whose principal quality is its musical form”可知.抒情诗并非是关于行为和故事的美丽诗歌，而是关于强烈个人情感的诗歌，可排除A，“it gains its meaning when interpreted by the human voice”当被人们解读的时候，它会增加自身的含义，可排除C，“great poetry is often pure music.haunting melody.and chiming syllables”可知并不是所有的诗歌都是和谐音节的纯粹音乐.排除D，故选B。 -

Bas a music genius that no other musician rivals.

For a hundred years or so after his death the musical consensus in Europe was that Hector Berlioz was a crazy man who defied all the rules of composition. But the Frenchman’s music obeyed its own rules and sounded like no one else’s. -
