It argues that, in fact, these young people are frittering away as much as half of their time again as they would if they performed the very same tasks one after another.Some young people are juggling an ever larger number of electronic devices as they study. At the same time as they are working, young adults are also【C2】sur the Internet, or sending out emails to their friends, and/or answering the phone and listening to music on their iPods or on another computer. As some new device comes along, it too is added to the list rather than【C3】(place)one of the existing devices. Other research ha【s C4】ind that this multi-tasking is even affecting the way of families themselves function as young people are too wrapped up in their own isolated worlds to interact with the other people around them. They can 【C5】longer greet family members when they enter the house, nor can they eat at the family table. All this electronic wizardry is supposedly also seriously affecting young people's performance at 【C6】uni andin the workplace. When asked about their perception of the impact of modern gadgets on their performance of tasks, the overwhelming majority of young people gave a 【C7 】(favour)response. The response from the academic and business worlds was not quite as positive. The former feel that multi-tasking with electronic gadgets by children affects later【C8】dev of study skills, resulting in a decline in the quality of writing, for example, because ofthe lack of concentration on task completion. They feel that many undergraduates now urgently need remedial help with study skills. Similarly, employers feel that young people【C9】ent the workforce need to be taught all over again, as they have become deskilled. While all this may be true, it must be borne in mind that more and more is expected of young people nowadays, in fact, too much. Praise rather than criticism is due 【C10 】respect of the way today's youth are able to cope, despite what the older generation throw at them.1.【C1】2.【C2】3.【C3】4.【C4】5.【C5】6.【C6】7.【C7】8.【C8】9.【C9】10.【C10】Part ⅢReading ComperhensionSection ALook at an atlas. How are mountains shown? Where are the highest mountains? A few mountains stand alone, such as Mount Egmont in New Zealand, and Mount Kenya in Africa. Most mountains are found in long chains called mountain ranges. The Pennines, the Cambrian Mountains, the Alps, the Andes and Rockies are examples of mountain ranges. The highest mountain range on the Earth is the Himalayas in Asia.In order to understand how mountains are formed, we need to know what the inside of the Earth is like. The Earth is made up of layers of rock. The outside layerof rock, the one we live on, is called the Earth's crust. Beneath the crust is a layer called the mantle. Near the top of the mantle, some of the rocks have melted and are a liquid, like sticky tar. Because all the rocks around it press on the mantle, the molten rock tries to force its way out. If the molten rock does find a weak spot, it bursts through the Earth's crust, forming a volcano. Some mountains were made by volcanoes. The Earth's crust is made up of large pieces, called plates, which fit together like the pieces of a jigsaw puzzle. Some of the plates carry continents, others carry oceans. The plates move slowly, floating on the molten rocks of the mantle below. As the plates move, theypush against each other, slowly pushing up the rocks in folds to form mountains. India used to be a long way from Asia, but gradually the plate with India on it moved closer to the plate bearing Asia. The rocks in the sea between India and Asia were pushed up in folds that now form the Himalayan mountain range. That is why it is sometimes possible to find seashells near the tops of the Himalayas. Many other mountain ranges, including the Alps, Rockies and Pen-nines , are similar great folds of rock. While some plates are pushing together, others are moving further apart. Europe and North America are slowly moving further apart. Each year the Atlantic Ocean is a few centimetres wider.As the rocks move, they often crack or break. These breaks are called faults. Sometimes, great blocks of rocks are pushed up between two faults. These blocks may be so large and high that they form mountains. Some of the highland areas of East Africa are block mountains, so are the Vosges mountains in France and the Sierra Nevada mountains in the western United States. Block mountains often have flat tops. A flat-topped highland is called a plateau.Questions 56—60 Complete the following form with no more than three words according tothe passage.56.57.58.59.60.Section BBy studying the notebooks, correspondence, a nd conversations of some of the world's great thinkers in science, art, and industry, scholars have identified the following thinking strategies that enable geniuses to generate original ideas:【B1】Sigmund Freud's analytical methods were designed to find details that didn't fit traditional paradigms in order to come up with a completelynew point of view. To solve a problem creatively , you must abandon the first approach that comesto mind, which usually stems from past experience , and reconceptualize the problem. Geniuses do not merely solve existing problems: they identify new ones. 【B2 】Geniuses develop visual and spatial abilities that allow them to display information in new ways. The explosion of creativityin the Renaissance was tied to the development of graphic illustration during that period, notablythe scientific diagrams of Leonardo da Vinci and Galileo Galilei. Galileo revolutionized science by making his thought graphically visible while his contemporaries used more conventional means. Geniuses produce. Thomas Edison held 1,093 patents, still a record. He guaranteed a high level of productivity by giving himself idea quotas: one minor invention every ten days and a major invention every six months. Johann Sebastian Bach wrote a cantata every week even when he was sick. Wolfgang Mozart produced more than 600 pieces of music. 【B3 】Like playful children with buckets of building blocks, geniuses constantly combine and recombine ideas, images, and thoughts. The laws of heredity were developed by Gregor Mendel , who combined mathematics and biology to create a new science of genetics. 【B4 】Their facility to connect the unconnected enables geniuses to see things others miss. Da Vinci noticed the similarity between the【B5 】sound of a bell and a stone hitting water-and concluded that sound travels in waves.Whenever we attempt to do something and fail, we end up doing something else.That's the first principle of creative accident. We may ask ourselves why we have failed to do what we intended, which is a reasonable question. But the creative accident leads to the question: What have we done? Answering that one in a novel, unexpected way is the essential creative act. It is not luck, but creative insight of the highest order. This may be the most important lesson of all: When youfind something interesting, drop everything and go with it. Too many talented people fail to make significant leaps of imagination because they've become fixated on their pre-conceived plan. Butnot the truly great minds. They don't wait for gifts of chance: they make them happen. Questions 61 —65Complete the passage with the following sentences. There are two extra sentences that you do not need to use. A. Geniuses make their thought visible.B. Geniuses prepare themselves for enhance.C. Geniuses make novel combinations.D. Geniuses look at problems from all angles.E. Geniuses have a really broad mind.F. Geniuses force relationships.G. Geniuses are powerful in lots of aspects.6.【B1】7.【B2】8.【B3】9.【B4】10.【B5】Section CThe Dragon Boat Festival, the 5th day of the 5th lunar month, has had a history of more than 2,000 years. Here are some things you must know.There are many legends about the evolution of the festival , the most popular of which is in commemoration of Qu Yuan(340—278 BC). Qu Yuan was minister of the State of Chu and one of China's earliest poets. In face of great pressure from the powerful Qin State, he advocated enriching the country and strengthening its military forces so as to fight against the Qin. However, he was opposed by aristocrats and later deposed and exiled by King Huai. In his exiled days, he still cared much for his country and people and composed immortal poems including Li Sao(The Lament), Tian Wen(Heavenly Questions)and Jiu Ge(Nine Songs), which had far-reaching influences. In 278 BC, he heard the news that Qin troops had finally conquered Chu's capital, so he finished his last piece Huai Sha(Embracing Sand)and plunged himself into the Miluo River, clasping his arms to a large stone. The day happened to be the 5th of the 5th month in the Chinese lunar calendar. After his death, the people of Chu crowded to the bank of the river to pay their respects to him. The fishermen sailed their boats up and down the river to look for his body. People threw into the water zongzi(pyramid-shaped glutinous rice dumplings wrapped in reed or bamboo leaves)and eggs to divert possible fish or shrimp from attacking his body. An old doctor poured a jug of realgar wine(Chinese liquor seasoned w ith realgar)into the water, hoping to turn all aquatic beasts drunk. That's why people later followed the customs such as dragon boat racing, eating zongzi and drinking realgar wine on that day. Dragon boat racing is an indispensable part of the festival, held all over the country. As the gun is fired, people will see racers in dragon-shaped canoes pulling the oars harmoniously and hurriedly, accompanied by rapid drums, speeding toward their destination. Folk tales say the game o-riginates from the activities of seeking Qu Yuan's body, but experts, after painstaking and meticulous research, conclude that dragon boat racing is a semi-religious, semi-entertaining program from the Warring States Period(475—221 BC). On Dragon Boat Festival, parents also need to dress their children up witha perfume pouch. They first sew little bags with colorful silk cloth, then fill the bags with perfumesor herbal medicines , and finally string them with silk threads. The perfume pouch will be hung around the neck or tied to the front of a garment as an ornament. They are said to be able to ward off evil.Questions 66—70Answer the following questions according to the passage.11.When do Chinese people celebrate the Dragon Boat Festival every year?12.What masterpieces of Qu Yuan are mentioned in the passage?13.Why did Qu Yuan commit suicide?14.How do people celebrate the Dragon Boat Festival now?15.Why do parents prepare perfume pouches for their children on Dragon Boat Festival?Section DWhile baseball is often described as the national sport of the United States of America, it probably developed from an eighteenth-century English game called rounders. There were severalversions of the game until 1845, when Alexander J. Cartwright organized "a group of players to decide on one set of rules. The main change from rounders was that a runner had to be tagged or touched by a player holding the ball to be put out, rather than hit by a thrown ball. This meant that a smaller, harder ball could be used, which in turn made possible a faster, larger game. Until the mid-1860s, baseball was an amateur sport, which means that the players were not paid. The first professional team, the Cincinnati "Red Stockings" , was organized in 1869 and within two years the sport was more or less professional. Nowadays the best players can earn millions of dollars playing baseball. Professional baseball in the United States and Canada consists of two leagues and for the first half of the twentieth century there were also separate leagues for black players. The black leagues produced many excellent players but it wasn't until the 1940s, and the success o f Jackie Robinson playing for the Brooklyn " Dodgers" , that black players were integrated into white major-league baseball in the United States. Baseball has had a broad impact on popular culture, both in the United States and elsewhere. Dozens of English-language idioms have been derived from baseball, for instance, the baseball meaning of " out of the ball park" is to hit a home run, but its non-baseball equivalent is to do something well or exactly as it should be done. The baseball cap has become a worldwide fashion i-tem not only in the United States, but also in countries where the sport itself isnot particularly popular, such as the United Kingdom. Baseball has inspired many works of art and entertainment. One of the first major examples, Ernest Thayer's poem "Casey at the Bat" , appeared in 1888. There have been many baseball movies, including the Academy Award-winning The Prideof the Yankees(1942)and the Oscar nominees The Natural(1984)and Field of Dreams(1989). Literary works connected to the game include the short fiction of Ring Lardner and novels such as Robert Coover's The Universal Baseball Association, Inc. , J. Henry Waugh, Prop. Baseball's literary canon also includes the beat reportage of Damon Runyon: the columns of Grantland Rice, Red Smith, Dick Young, and Peter Gammons: and the essays of Roger Angell. Questions 71—75Complete the summary with words from the passage, changing the form where necessary, with no more than three words for each blank.Baseball is regarded as the national sport of the USA.

However, Adelie penguins 【M1 】can walk 200 kilometers across the Antarctic sea ice to the place they lay 【M2】their eggs.Penguins are such good swimmers so early explorers thought they were 【M3 】fish. They use their flippers 'fly' through the water as other birds use their 【M4】wings to fly through the air. Emperor penguins, the big penguins, 【M5 】can go as fast as 50 kilometers an hour. If Adelie penguin is swimming 【M6】quickly, it can jump 2 meters out of the water. They do this before they are 【M7 】being chased by leopard seals, which like to eat them.Emperor penguins can hold its breath underwater for twenty minutes. 【M8 】This means they can divevery deep to hunt for food. The deepest dive scientists know about is 458 meters. That's nearly half a kilometer!When the male emperor penguins are looking after eggs, they join together in tightly groups. In the middle of the group it might be 38℃, 【M9】while on the outside of the group it might be -35℃. When the penguins 【M10】on the outside get too cold, they move slowly to the inside and others take their place on the outside.1.【M1】2.【M2】3.【M3】4.【M4】5.【M5】6.【M6】7.【M7】8.【M8】9.【M9】10.【M10】Part ⅤTranslationSection A1. If your parents give you pocket money with no strings attached, I've got some bad news for you. Experts are now claiming that it may be harmful for teenagers t o get "free" pocket money. They argue that it makes them lazy and they may even end up in poverty. What's more, they say that youngsters will never learn the value of money if they don't earn it. Studies also indicate that youcan rarely expect teenagers to save their pocket money when they get it for free and often waste it on unnecessary things. However, if they have to do something in order to earn it, they usually learn to use their money wisely.Section B有些人的成功常常让周围的人大惑不解，因为他们似乎从来都不工作，或者没有长时间地工作。

Part I Listening Comprehension (30marks)Section A (5marks)In this section,you will hear five short conversations.Each conversation will be read only once .A t the end ofeach conversation,there will be a fifteen-second pause.During the pause,read the question and the four choices marked A ,B ,C and D ,and decide which is the best answer.Then mark the corresponding letter on the answer sheet with a single line through the centre.1.W:Oh,you have to tell them about the seat-belt signs again.M:It ’s your turn.I did it just now.Oh,and don ’t forget to switch off the intercom when you finish.W:Ladies and gentlemen,the captain has switched on the seat-belt signs.Please return to your seats and fasten your seat belts.Please take a moment to look again at the emergency instructions in the seatpocket in front of you.2.M:Sarah,I didn ’t know you were a windsurfer!Can you surf too?Normal surfing,I mean...W:Well,I learned to windsurf when I was six.My uncle taught me.But not surfing.I tried it once,but I couldn ’t stand up.What about you,Ben?Do you do any water sports?M:Not really.I mean,I can swim and everything,but I prefer mountain sports.3.M:Do you ever feel like there ’s far too much information on the Net?Sometimes,I don ’t know how to handle it at all.W:Yep,there ’s too much,but it doesn ’t matter.The important thing is knowing how to find what you need.Personally,I bookmark the site I visit every day.For everything else,I run a search on Google or Yahoo.M:Right,keep it simple.That reminds me,I need to check an online auction I ’m bidding on.4.M:I can ’t believe what happened to Richard.After twenty years on the job,he was next in line to be promoted to vice president.W:But instead,he was fired.I wonder how safe any of our jobs are.He was a good supervisor,too.M:He was.Well,I think I ’d better update my resume and see what the job market is like.I ’m not planning to quit,but I want to be ready if things get bad around here.5.W:I feel sorry for child stars.They have a really hard time growing up.M:Why do you say that?They ’re rich and famous.And,they get to spend time with movie stars and other successful people.What could be hard about it?W:Think about all the pressure they ’re under their parents.They ’re always filming something,traveling,or giving interviews.How can they possibly have a normal childhood?2017National English Competition for College Students (Level C -Preliminary)听力录音原文Section B(10marks)In this section,you will hear two long conversations.Each conversation will be read only once.A t the end of each conversation,there will be a one-minute pause,during the pause,read the questions and make your answers on the answer sheet with a single line through the centre.Conversation OneListen to the conversation,and mark each statement as either true(T)or false(F)according to your listening. W:Daniel,have you finished your research on the Globe Theatre?M:Yeah,Lily.I found out lots of interesting stuff about the theatre.W:Like what?M:Well,as you know,in many ways performances today are just like the original ones.W:But some things are different,aren’t they?M:Sure.For example,there’re female actors now.In Shakespeare’s time,people thought it was improper for women to act.But modern performances at the Globe still use very few props and only live sound effects. W:What do you mean?All the music and sound effects are made on stage?M:Yeah,either on stage or behind the stage.And they don’t use any microphones or recordings of sounds. The clothes are authentic,too.W:It sounds really neat.I’d love to see a performance at the Globe some time.M:Yeah.They sound pretty cool.Conversation TwoListen to the conversation,mark each question as A,B,C or D according to your listening.W:Well,welcome to meet Robert Opie.He’s dedicated his whole life to his collection,most of which is housed in the Museum of Packaging and Advertising.Robert,what exactly do you collect?M:That’s very difficult to explain.It’s the whole story of an enormous social revolution that’s happened over the last hundred years and the main thing I’m interested in within that is the story of shopping and products and brands.I collect everything that one puts into today’s shopping basket,everything that’s in today’s supermarket,but looking back at it over the last hundred and fifty years and the evidence of this is now the packs that have survived,the advertisements,the promotions...W:How do you decide what to collect?M:Um,it can become quite tricky when I suddenly find I’m running out of money,er,because when I’m shopping,you see,first of all I go round and think,what do I need for the collection,what new products have arrived,what new designs have come along to update the previous design and then I go around and think,what am I going to eat tonight,you know,so it’s mainly made up of those things and I get very disappointed when there’s a product I want but I’ve already got the packaging,you see,because I have to wait till the next change comes along.W:When did you begin collecting and why?M:About the age of three,I think it was,when I found this wonderful stone in the path at home and then my mother told me it was a fossilized sea urchin.Well,that began my stone collection and then I went,likemany other schoolchildren,onto other things like stamps and coins,but I was always trying to find things that other people hadn’t collected.So then at the age of sixteen I suddenly thought,well,here’s something, packaging,that everybody’s literally throwing away and something is always happening and changing in it, so from that moment I’ve saved all the packages I’ve ever eaten the contents of.W:Do you feel that your collecting is an obsession?M:Er,I’m sure somewhat it is but I tend to find that I’m driven by this commitment that I’m saving the nation’s heritage,even though a lot of people think that the rubbish aspect is not really someone’s heritage.I have to put in a certain number of hours every day to save something which I think should be saved.You may have watched the Olympics and you see those people doing four or five hours’training every day and I find that,I mean,that may be called an obsession but it’s really a dedication to a particular thing and I think I’m probably dedicated in that kind of way.Section C(5marks)In this section,you will hear five short news items.Each item will be read only once.After each item,there will be a fifteen-second pause.During the pause,read the question and the four choices marked A,B,C and D,and decide which is the best answer.Then mark the corresponding letter on the answer sheet with a single line through the centre.16.The authorities in Mexico have identified13of the31people killed in a series of explosions in the country’s biggest fireworks market on Tuesday.The Mexico state prosecutor said some were so badly charred that neither their age nor the gender could immediately be determined.17.The sound of burning rain forest.This is from footage captured by researchers in the Eastern Amazon. Their two-year study found that even selective logging in protected forests opened up the canopy enough to dry out the undergrowth and make it catch fire more easily.To measure the impact of human activity on the rain forest,the team counted2,000species of trees,insects and birds,comparing biodiversity with the amount of forest cover.18.The growing popularity of e-cigarettes has prompted debate about their safety,their potential to help people quit tobacco smoking and the risk.They may encourage some people to take it up.The Royal College of Physicians concludes that their impact so far has been very positive.They’ve helped many thousands of people to quit and the switch from tobacco smoking is a dramatic step towards better health.19.The damaging effects of shift work on the body are well known.This study shows the impact on the mind as well.Three thousand people performed tests of memory and speed of thought.Those with more than ten years of shift work under their belts had the same results as those who didn’t do shifts but were six-and-a-half years older.The good news is that when people in the study stopped shift work their brains did recover,although it took five years.20.Ever since Mount Everest opened to commercial expeditions in the1990s,climbers have sought to establish world records on the mountain.The youngest person to reach the summit was a13-year-old from the United States.The oldest climber was80.But now Nepal says it wants to limit climbers to between the ages of18and75in order to better manage the mountain,which has suffered from overcrowding.It’s also considering banning anyone with disabilities.Section D(10marks)In this section,you will hear two short passages.The passages will be read twice.After each passage,there will be a one-minute pause.During the pause,write the answers on the answer sheet.Listen to the passage.For questions21-25,fill in the blanks with the exact words or phrases you hear. The Amazon River begins in the Andes Mountains in South America.It passes through six countries before it reaches the Atlantic Ocean.It is almost6,500kilometers long.The Amazon is the second longest river in the world.The Nile in Africa is longer.But the Amazon has more water in it than any other river.This is why it is called the world’s biggest river.There is so much water in the Amazon that when it reaches the sea this water travels far out into the ocean.The water has a lot of mud in it,so it is brown.Five hundred years ago,Spanish explorers on a ship 300kilometers from land saw this brown water.They followed it and found the Amazon River!The river is very deep and very wide.In some places it is so wide that a person on one side cannot see the other side.When the river floods,it is even wider.The river floods every year.Some people who live beside the river build their houses on rafts.When the river rises,their houses rise too!Listen to the passage.For questions26-30,complete the notes using no more than three words for each blank.At night,look up at the sky.How many stars do you see?If you live in the country,bright stars will fill the sky.If you live in a city,on the other hand,you might not see any stars.What’s happening?Bright lights from the city are lighting the sky,blocking the stars.This is light pollution.Light can also come into city homes,like an uninvited guest.Sometimes,a visitor to a big city can’t sleep because of the bright,flashing sign outside his or her window.Darkness helps us sleep.Without darkness,we lie awake losing sleep.Losing sleep can lead to serious health problems because our immune systems become weak.Nature’s beings need darkness.It’s part of the natural24-hour cycle.Trees and plants that are too close to artificial light grow in strange ways and die quickly.Animals become confused when the normal patterns of light and dark are changed.For example,birds flying to their winter homes can get lost.Also,night animals might think it’s day when it’s actually night.Finally,using too many lights wastes energy and money.The huge lights for all night parking lots and gas stations are too bright and unnecessary.Every city spends millions of dollars a year to light its thousands of buildings and streets.And much of this lighting is just to make the city look attractive,rather than to provide practical use.True,we feel safer in the light.But our eyes are able to see a little in darkness.And we don’t need to light the entire city just to create an attractive night view.We should try to turn the lights down to save the Earth and its creatures from this pollution.This is the end of the listening part.Please transfer your answers to the answer sheet.。
