Passage 1
In a study of older people with sisters and brothers, psychologist Debra Gold of the DukeCenter for the study of aging and human development found that about 20% said they werehostile or indifferent to ward their sisters and brothers. Reasons for this ranged frominheritance disputes to hostility between spouses. But, many of those who had poorrelationships felt guilty. Although most people admitted to some lingering rivalry, it was rarelystrong enough to end the relationship. Only four out of the 54 people interviewed hadcompletely broken with their sisters and brothers and only one of the four felt comfortable withthe break. As sisters and brothers advanced into old age, closeness increases and rivalrydiminishes, explains VC, a psychologist at Purdue University. Most of the elderly people heinterviewed said they had supportive and friendly dealings and got along well or very well withtheir sisters and brothers. Only 4% got along poorly. Gold found that as people age, they oftenbecome more involved with and interested in their sisters and brothers. 53% of those sheinterviewed said that contact with their sisters and brothers increase innate adulthood. Withfamily and career obligations reduced, many said that they had more time for each other.Others said that they felted with time to heal wounds. A man who had recently reconciled withhis brother told Gold there’s something that lets older people to put aside bad deeds of thepast and focus a little on what we need now, especially when it’s sisters and brothers.
16. What does the study by Debra Gold find about older people?
17. What has probably caused closeness to increase among sisters and brothers according toVC?
18. What did the man who had recently reconciled with his brother tell Debra Gold about olderpeople?

The first copy right law in the United States was passed by congress in 1790. In 1976,congress enacted the latest copy right law, taking into consideration the technologicaldevelopments that had occurred since the passage of the copy right act of 1909. For example,in 1909 anyone who wanted to make a single copy of a literary work for personal use had todo so by hand. The very process imposed a limitation on the quantity of materials copied.Today, a photo copier can do the work in seconds. The limitation has disappeared. The 1909Law did not provide full protection for films and sound recordings nor did it anticipate theneed to protect radio and television. As a result, violations of the law and abuses of the intentof the law have lessened the financial rewards of authors, artists and producers. The 1976 copyright act has not prevented these abuses fully, but it has clarified the legal rights of the injuredparties and given them an avenue for remedy. Since 1976 the act has been amended to includecomputer software and guidelines have been adopted for fair use of television broadcasts.These changes have cleared up much of the confusion and conflict that followed in the wakeof 1976 legislation. The fine points of the law are decided by the courts and by acceptablecommon practice overtime. As these decisions and agreements are made, we modify ourbehavior accordingly. For now, we need to interpret the law and its guidelines as accurately aswe can and to act in a fair manner.

Good morning, ladies and gentlemen! As instructed in our , the subcommittee on building development has now drawn up a brief to submit to the firm's architect. In short, the building would consist of two floors. There would be a storage area in the basement to be used by the research center as well as by other departments. We are, as you know, short of storage base, so the availability of a large basement would be a considerable advantage. The ground floor would be occupied by laboratories. Altogether there would be six labs. In addition, there would be six offices for the technicians, plus a general secretarial office and reception area. The first floor would be occupied by the offices of Research and Development staff. There would be a suite of offices for the Research and Development director as well as a general office for secretarial staff. It's proposed to have a staff room with a small kitchen. This would serve both floors. There would also be a library for research documents and reference material. In addition, there would be a resource room in which audio visual equipment and other equipment of that sort could be stored. Finally, there would be a seminar room with closed circuit television. This room could also be used to present displays and demonstrations to visitors to the center. The building would be of brick construction so it's to conform to the general style of construction on the site. There would be a pitched roof. Wall and ceiling spaces would be insulated to conform to new building regulations。
Questions 16 to 18 are based on the passage you've just heard。
16. What is said about the planned basement of the new building?
17. Where would be the Research and Development director's office?
18. Why would the building be of brick construction?

Section C Dictation
The first copy right law in the United States was passed by congress in 1790. In 1976, congress enacted the latest copy right law, taking into consideration the technological developments that had occurred since the passage of the copy right act of 1909. For example, in 1909 anyone who wanted to make a single copy of a literary work for personal use had to do so by hand. The very process imposed a limitation on the quantity of materials copied. Today, a photo copier can do the work in seconds. The limitation has disappeared. The 1909 Law did not provide full protection for films and sound recordings nor did it anticipate the need to protect radio and television. As a result, violations of the law and abuses of the intent of the law have lessened the financial rewards of authors, artists and producers. The 1976 copy right act has not prevented these abuses fully, but it has clarified the legal rights of the injured parties and given them an avenue for remedy. Since 1976 the act has been amended to include computer software and guidelines have been adopted for fair use of television broadcasts. These changes have cleared up much of the confusion and conflict that followed in the wake of 1976 legislation. The fine points of the law are decided by the courts and by acceptable common practice overtime. As these decisions and agreements are made, we modify our behavior accordingly. For now, we need to interpret the law and its guidelines as accurately as we can and to act in a fair manner。
