2010浙江大学考博听力原文和答案

1955: Opening day1 [oh06_rB  
An aerial view of Disneyland in 1956. The entire route of the FW-I|kK.  
Disneyland Railroad is clearly visible as it encircles the :{a < ~n`  
park.Disneyland Park was opened to the public on Monday, 【July 18, n%3!)/$  
1955】. However, a special "International Press Preview" event was C&z!="hMhR  
held on Sunday, July 17, 1955, which was only open to invited guests g@#he95 }  
and the media. The Special Sunday events, including the dedication, 8~(xi<"e  
were televised nationwide and anchored by three of Walt Disney's jf3Zy :*K  
friends from Hollywood: Art Linkletter, Bob Cummings, and Ronald 7 .29'  
Reagan. ABC broadcast the event live on its network; at the time, it 4vg3F(   
was one of the largest and most complex live broadcasts ever.The event r(r( &NU  
did not go smoothly. The park was overcrowded as the by-invitation- 8C{&i5kj\E  
only affair was plagued with counterfeit tickets. All major roads  u 8o!  
nearby were empty. The temperature was an unusually high 101 °F (38 <);q,|eh2  
°C), and a plumbers' strike left many of the park's 【drinking &%fcGNzJQ  
fountains dry】. Disney was given a choice of having working fountains Pk;w. )kT  
or running toilets and he chose the latter. This, however, generated {L;sF=d  
negative publicity since Pepsi sponsored the park's opening; enraged 4.,EKw3  
guests believed the inoperable fountains were a cynical way to sell Zbnxs.i!  
soda. The asphalt that had been poured just that morning was so soft d&^b=d FDu  
that ladies' high-heeled shoes sank in. Vendors ran out of food. A gas e=9/3?El  
leak in Fantasyland caused Adventureland,Frontierland, and Fantasyland oB 1Qw'J w  
to close for the afternoon. Parents were throwing their children over ]y {tMC  
the shoulders of crowds to get them onto rides such as the King Arthur 2E40&  
Carrousel d~8U1}dP  
The park got such bad press for the event day that Walt Disney invited `sm Cfh}j6  
members of the press back for a private "second day" to experience the cB,^?djJ3  
true Disneyland, after which Walt held a party in the Disneyland Hotel PzPNvV/o  
for them. Walt and his 1955 executives forever referred to the day as QD.5o S  
【"Black Sunday"】. Every year on July 17, cast members wear pin k5< n:dS  
badges stating how many years it has been since July 17, 1955. For Ij(dgY  
example, in 2004 they wore the slogan "The magic began 49 years ago IGTO|sT"  
today."But for the first twelve to fifteen years, Disney did E6GubU  
officially state that opening day was on July 18, including in the j#f/M3  
park's own publications. Disneyland referred to July 17, 1955, as :P q&l.  
"Dedication Day" in one of its July, 1967, press releases. On Monday ZJ{DW4#t  
July 18, crowds started to gather in line as early as 2 a.m., and the #)S}z+I  
first person to buy a ticket and enter the park was David MacPherson XI`_PQco  
with 【admission ticket】 number 2, as Roy O. Disney arranged to pre- \];|$FQg  
purchase ticket number 1. Walt Disney had an official photo taken with W_XFTqp^  
two children instead, Christine Vess Watkins (age 5 in 1955) and wA {) 9.  
Michael Schwartner (age 7 in 1955), and the photo of the two carries a vE9"1M  
deceptive caption along the lines of "Walt Disney with the first two. N d>zq  
guests of Disneyland." Vess Watkins and Schwartner both received k?h{ 6Qd  
【lifetime passes】 to Disneyland that day, and MacPherson was awarded NATi)A"TZ  
one shortly thereafter, which was later expanded to every single _A]jiPq  
Disney-owned park in the world. w8D8\`i!"

A Harvard Extension School class at Boylston Hall. Through the 1950s, _3 [E$Lg  
most Extension courses cost $5 each (slightly more than two bushels of s;h`n$  
wheat). Now any Harvard staff member can take a graduate-level course PE7V1U#$o,  
for $40 a semester, making it possible to earn a master’s degree for f]1 $`  
$400. It was 1835, and John Lowell Jr., the wealthy young scion of a +PYR  
prominent Boston family, sat by the Nile River in Luxor, a cradle of ,dba:D= l  
Egyptian civilization. Sick with fever, he drafted a long revision to (a!E3y5 ,  
his will and mailed it home to a cousin. Months later, Lowell was W{IP}mM  
dead.That revamped will included a bequest that has rippled ever wider e77s?WxbK  
across almost two centuries. Most notably, it led to creation of the h1>.w pr  
Harvard Extension School, which is celebrating its centennial year, ZHen:  
with the official anniversary in February.8 ]+ Lowell’s idea was b c .Vy  
simple, but brilliant. Everyday people wanted to learn, he thought, yq3"VFh3d  
and just needed a forum that allowed them to do so. In the 19th ,hK =x  
century, that method mostly involved public lectures. In the 20th 7TAoWD3  
century, it was usually classroom study, and in the 21st, the trend is FIn)O-<  
toward 【distance learning on the Web】. But what has been true of the Y\!:/h]E&  
Extension School from its earliest incarnation is its devotion to |RpZr!3V  
public learning, and its students’ fierce desire to be i_6wD  
taught.Evolving far beyond its origins as a lecture series, the \i~5H]?d  
Extension School is now a degree-granting institution with 14,000 @TKQ_7BcB  
students that this year is offering close to 【700】undergraduate and ?fs#K;w  
graduate courses across 65 fields, taught by faculty from nine of kH=~2rwm  
Harvard’s 10 Schools. The modern Extension School has embraced video UIQ=b;J9  
learning and podcasts. One hundred and fifty courses are available kGq<Zmy|  
online, expanding the School’s reach to students in 122 countries. I |D]NY^  
About 20 percent of its students take courses exclusively online.! k Rx<[bohio  
! t+ V9Increasingly, said Michael Shinagel, the Extension School’s e ]>{?Z  
longtime dean, “the lectern is electronic.” Yet it was the forward- nDC5/xB  
thinking Lowell, born in 1799 near the dawn of the American republic, S4O:?^28  
who launched this thriving Harvard institution. Half of his wealth — =7P; /EV  
the princely sum, in those days, of $250,000 — in 1839 established A[d'*n[  
the Lowell Institute, the Extension’s precursor. His bequest is a Iq": U  
trust, active to this day, charged with offering public lectures in $PbN=@  
Boston on the arts, sciences, and natural history, to students "ZVBn!  
regardless of gender, race, or age. The first Lowell lecture, on 5Q72.4HH  
geology, was held in 1840, in an era of rising working-class clamor _jb"@TY  
for education. The public’s response was tumultuous, with tickets "=!QSb  
being distributed amidst near-mob scenes. The institute’s collegiate TA Yt:  
“courses” — which were lecture series on a single topic — nBiA=+'v  
sometimes drew 10,000 applicants.By 1898, more than 4,400 free El&pu x2  
lectures and courses had been offered through the Lowell Institute. :S7yM8 b`  
Around that time, Boston schoolteachers were looking for ways to earn 1J *wW# e  
a bachelor’s degree at night. The Lowell lectures and the lobbying Y=rW.yK8  
teachers created a perfect storm of sorts, and by 【1910】 University -+I! (?  
Extension at Harvard was founded.Another visionary with the Lowell 7#|NQ=yd  
surname created the modern school. Harvard-educated government scholar yM D* >8/  
A. Lawrence Lowell became trustee of the institute in 1900, and by $l[*Y  
1906 was promoting “systematic courses on subjects of liberal nt[0krG  
education,” as he called them, taught by Harvard faculty.His vision TuCOoz@d  
of transforming a lecture program into a school of public education 01q7n`o#zf  
gained traction in 1909 when he was named president of Harvard. His "RX ?"pB  
first step in office was not the curricular reform for which he later G7/LYTT)  
became famous. (Among other things, Lowell invented the idea of 8"* $e I5  
“concentrations.”) Instead, he 【pressed to create a University j1iC1=`ZM  
Extension】.His desire, according to Shinagel, who has written a new qu UJ%F  
history of the School called “The Gates Unbarred,” was “to carry w./EJk KI  
out more completely the idea of John Lowell Jr.” /eMZTh*1P  
John Grisham was born on February 2, 1955, in Jonesboro, Arkansas, in {4m"S 7O  
the USA. His father was a construction worker and moved his family all 2nie I*[  
around the southern states of America, stopping wherever he could find &lS0"`J=  
work. Eventually they settled in Mississippi. Graduating from law uN(~JPAw5  
school in 1981, Grisham practiced law for nearly a decade in f8^58]wx0  
Southaven, specializing in criminal defense and personal injury 835Upj>  
litigation (诉讼). In 1983, he was elected to the state House of lM 1!2d'P  
Representatives and served until 1990.7 i+ V% One day at the Dessoto dS&8R1\>1  
County courthouse, Grisham heard the horrifying testimony of a 12- d$,i?d,  
year-old rape victim. He decided to write a novel exploring what would J3.Q8f  
have happened if the girl’s father had murdered her attackers. He .XB] X  
proceeded to get up every morning at 5 a.m. to work on the novel, Mqtp}<*@-  
called A Time to Kill, which was published in 1988. Grisham’s next enzQ}^  
novel, The Firm, was one of the biggest hits of 1991, spending 47 B;~agr  
weeks on The New York Times bestseller list. Grisham lives with his EDQJ>c  
wife and two children, dividing their time between their Victorian _Usg`ax-  
home on a 67 acre farm in Mississippi and a 204 acre plantation near 9|WWA%p  
Charlottesville, Virginia.When he’s not writing, Grisham devotes time *vO'Z &  
to charitable causes, including mission trips with his church group. GKtQ>39B  
As a child he dreamt of becoming a professional baseball player, and h^*{chm]  
now serves as the local Little League commissioner. He has built six RM+E

My surprise over the past few winters has been the personality ~(/HgFLLu  
transformation my parents go through around mid-December as they tlgvBRH>  
change from Dad and Mom into Grandpa and Grandma. Yes, they become HjS^ nYl  
grandparents and are completely different from the people I know the =+S3S{\CK  
other eleven and a half months of the yearThe first sign of my parents SYPMoE!U:  
’ change is the delight they take in visiting toy and children’s H;|:r[d!  
clothing stores. These two people, who usually dislike anything having 3og$'#6P  
to do with shopping malls, become crazy consumers. While they tell me _l=  
to budget my money and shop wisely, they are buying up every doll and i(iP}: 3  
dump truck in sight. And this is only the beginning of the holidays a BH1J]_  
When my brother’s children arrive, Grandpa and Grandma come into full mS}x2 &  
form. First they throw out all ideas about a balanced diet for the b|o!&9Yyr  
grandkids. While we were raised in a house where everyone had to take =L),V~b  
two bites of corn, beets(甜菜), or liver (foods that appeared quite ]\,uF8gg)  
often on our table despite constant complaining), the grandchildren ]NV ]@*`tO  
never have to eat anything that does not appeal to them. Grandma xe vP2pYG:  
carries chocolate in her pockets to bribe(贿赂)the littlest ones into 0DVZRB  
following her around the house, while Grandpa offers “surprises” of H&Y{jqua  
candy and cake to them all day long. Boxes of chocolate-pie disappear 3;S`<  
while the whole-wheat bread get hard and stale. The kids love all the /NX7Vev  
sweets, and when the sugar raises their energy levels, Grandma and DbU;jorwu  
Grandpa can always decide to leave and do a bit more shopping or go to RrdtU7i 3  
bed while my brother and sister-in-law try to deal with their highly ~!:Sp_y  
active kids. auTTvJ  
Once the grandchildren have arrived, Grandma and Grandpa also seem to |EV\a[  
forget all of the responsibility lectures I so often hear in my daily #lshN,CPm  
life. If Mickey screams at his sister during dinner, he is =l 2Dm  
“developing his own personality”; if Nancy breaks Grandma’s mirror, 0O,T=z[+>  
she is “just a curious child”. But, if I track mud into the house ;i9<y8Dha  
while helping to unload groceries, I become “careless”; if I scold R 4$ Q3vcH  
one of the grandkids for tearing pages out of my textbook, I am ~K-*q{6Q  
“impatient”. If Paula talks back to her mother, Grandma and Grandpa ' q<EZ {  
smile at her spirit. If I say one word about all of this excessive "G9'm  
love, Mom and Dad reappear to have a talk with me about petty f./m7TZ  
jealousies. jXY;V3l
