　　[14:06.85]You will hear a recorded passage.
　　[14:09.63]After that you will hear five questions.
　　[14:14.44]Both the passage and the questions will be read two times.

　　[14:23.07]you should complete the answer to it

　　[14:40.49]You should write your answers
　　[14:42.73]on the Answer Sheet correspondingly.
　　[14:48.83]Now listen to the passage.
　　[14:53.17]In the early 1800s a new kind of power changed transportation
　　[14:58.81]and trade along the Mississippi River. This power was steam.
　　[15:04.79]People already knew how to
　　[15:07.14]use steam engines to run machines.
　　[15:10.66]Some people wanted to move boats in the same way.
　　[15:15.14]The first steamboat to travel on the Mississippi
　　[15:18.27]was the "New Orleans". It made its first trip in 1811.
　　[15:26.43]It was a great success, and by 1819 there were 191
　　[15:32.69]steamboats traveling on the river.
　　[15:36.53]In the past, the farmers whose products went to
　　[15:39.47]other parts of the country used the steamboats.
　　[15:43.78]The manufacturers whose trade depended on cheap
　　[15:47.67]and easy transportation used the steamboats, too.
　　[15:53.14]Today many tourists come to travel on the steamboats,
　　[15:58.00]while manufacturers and farmers no longer use them
　　[16:02.24]and turn to other ways for transportation.
　　[16:06.09]So the application of steamboats has changed now.
　　[16:12.03]11. What was the new kind of power in the early 1800s?
　　[16:33.85]12. When did the steamboat "New Orleans" make its first trip?
　　[16:54.96]13. In the past, who used steamboats?
　　[17:15.53]14. Why did manufacturers use the steamboats?
　　[17:35.99]15. Who use steamboats today?
　　[17:55.96]Now listen again.
　　[18:00.19]In the early 1800s a new kind of power changed transportation
　　[18:05.48]and trade along the Mississippi River. This power was steam.
　　[18:11.87]People already knew how to
　　[18:13.83]use steam engines to run machines.
　　[18:16.87]Some people wanted to move boats in the same way.
　　[18:21.37]The first steamboat to travel on the Mississippi

　　[18:32.56]It was a great success, and by 1819 there were 191
　　[18:39.31]steamboats traveling on the river.
　　[18:43.26]In the past, the farmers whose products went to
　　[18:46.39]other parts of the country used the steamboats.
　　[18:50.73]The manufacturers whose trade depended on cheap
　　[18:54.37]and easy transportation used the steamboats, too.
　　[18:59.76]Today many tourists come to travel on the steamboats,
　　[19:04.28]while manufacturers and farmers no longer use them
　　[19:08.67]and turn to other ways for transportation.
　　[19:12.48]So the application of steamboats has changed now.
　　[19:17.58]11. What was the new kind of power in the early 1800s?
　　[19:40.73]12. When did the steamboat "New Orleans" make its first trip?
　　[20:02.32]13. In the past, who used steamboats?
　　[20:24.15]14. Why did manufacturers use the steamboats?
　　[20:44.49]15. Who use steamboats today?
　　[20:58.23]This is the end of Listening Comprehension.
