B. Poem Test-takers hear: Now you will hear the poem Remembering the Snow by Brian Patten. The poem will be played twice. For the first listening, pay attention and listen carefully. For the second time, you need to cross out the words that are inserted in the poem.

Remembering the Snow Brian Patten I did not sleep last night. The falling snow was beautiful and white. I dressed, sneaked down the stairs And opened wide the door. I had not seen such snow before. Our grubby little street had gone. The world was brand-new, and everywhere There was a pureness in the air. I felt such peace. Watching every flake I felt more and more awake. I thought I had learned all there was to know About the trillion million different kinds Of swirling frosty flakes of snow. That was not so. I did not know how vividly it lit The world with such a peaceful glow. Upstairs my mother slept. I could not drag myself away from that sight To call her down and have her share The mute miracle of the snow. It seemed to fall for me alone. How beautiful our grubby little street had grown!

C. News Report Test-takers hear: You will listen to a news report about the gas industry. You will listen to the report two times. After you listen for the second time, encircle the correct best option for questions 1 to 5. Gas Industry Next on tonights business investment news well be looking at the gas industry. Many analysts, energy companies and their investors believe that gas will soon become as vital to the worlds economy as petroleum is today. And weve certainly seen the demand for gas surge in recent years. One of the main reasons for this is the search for more environmentally-friendly fuels. Gas burns much more cleanly than oil or coal. In fact, it's the cleanest burning fossil fuel, which makes it a very popular choice for new power stations all over the world.

However, until quite recently it was difficult, if not impossible, for the global gas industry to develop. The reason for this? Well, the problem is that gas, by its very nature, isnt as easy to transport as oil and coal . Obviously, its gaseous at room temperature, so a system of pipelines is needed to get it to the customer. This meant in the past, it could only be sold to customers who lived near a natural gas supply. It was too expensive to transport it very long distances via pipelines.

Fortunately, there is now a process which makes it easier to transport gas over longer distances. Its called liquefied natural gas. Put simply, gas can now be frozen into liquid form and transported to distant countries in refrigerated tankers. When the LNG is delivered it is heated and converted back into gas form. Then it is supplied to customers using local pipelines. Having said that, there are two main risks associated with LNG: financial and political. Firstly, the cost of producing and shipping LNG today is still higher than transporting oil, although rapid innovations are reducing the costs. For instance, bigger tankers can now be used. Whats more, the energy industry is expected to invest a massive $100 billion in LNG over the next ten years despite the high capital costs. Secondly, Russia and the former Soviet Union hold the worlds largest natural gas reserves. Some analysts are therefore concerned that Russia will have a high level of control over the global LNG market within the next decade. So, as we can see there are political and financial risks associated with the LNG business. Yet, the potential profits are enormous for energy firms with the capital to develop LNG projects. And many experts believe that gas will be the dominant fuel for at least another 50 years.

Good evening. Here's this weekend's weather forecast for some cities around the United States. New York City will be hot this weekend. Temperatures will be unusually high for this time of year. Get your t-shirts, shorts and sun hats out of the closets because you're going to need them until Sunday. Remember to drink plenty of water and don't stay in the sun for too long. A cool breeze from the Pacific Ocean will hit the San Francisco area. Weather conditions will be pleasant during the day, but much colder in the evenings.
