听力原文： A UN agency says there are major funding gaps in efforts to help
the agricultural sector adapt to climate change. The Food and Agriculture
Organization, the FAO, says this could affect food security. The warning comes as the
UN Climate Change Conference continues in Cancun, Mexico. The World Bank
estimates it will cost about $2.5 billion a year—for the next 40 years—to help
agriculture in developing countries adapt to climate change. Other estimates say costs
could run as high as $14 billion a year. However, the FAO says, “Available
financing mechanisms are substantially insufficient to meet the climate change and
food security challenges faced by the agricultural sector.” This, despite the fact that
the FAO says there are many examples of how agriculture can become more.3.
According to the world bank, how much does it cost to tackle agricultural challenges
yearly?4. According to FAO, what is the problem faced by the agricultural sector?
3．
A．$14 billion.
B．$40 billion.
C．$2.5 billion.
D．$25 billion.
正确答案：C
解析：新闻中指出，世界银行估计在今后的40年时间里，协助发展中国家的农业适应气候变化，每年得花费25个亿。而有些人认为每年的费用将高达140亿。本题问的是世界银行的估算，故答案为C项。本题是数字题，听音时可边看数字边选择。A项中的140亿是其他人的估计，B项400亿是利用“40年”这个时间跨度作干扰，D项“25亿”未提到。
4．
A．Lack of knowledge of climate change.
B．Not enough examples to follow.
C．Shortage of agricultural experts.
D．Insufficient financing mechanisms.
正确答案：D
解析：FAO指出，现有的融资机制远不能应对农业部门所面临的气候变化及食品安全挑战(Availablefinancing mechanisms are．．．insufficient)，这就是农业部门所面临的问题，D项复现了原文，只不过是将原文句子简化成短语了。
听力原文： The U.S. Federal Reserve announced yesterday it was raising
interest rates for the first time since 2006. Known as the Fed, it’s America’s central
bank. It’s led by Janet Yellen. Its job is to help stabilize America’s financial system.
The Fed makes moves to try to lower unemployment and control inflation, when the
price of goods goes up too fast for people to afford them. Because the U.S.
economy is growing, the Fed raised its key interest rate by a quarter of a percentage
point, not much. But gradual rate increases are likely in the New Year. That means
you’ll have to pay more interest if you borrow money, higher loan rates for home
buyers, higher interest rates if you finance a car, higher student loan rates for people
who enter colleges afterwards. Eventually, savings accounts could earn a little
more interest. A decade since the last “Star Wars”, and nearly just as long, nine years,
since the Fed last changed interest rates. But now, it’s time for the Fed to awaken,
because after three episodes of quantitative easing, Janet Yellen must now use her
most powerful weapon to restore balance in the economy.5. What will happen to
interest rates in the US?6. Why did the Fed change interest rates?7. Who will benefit
from the change of interest rates?
5．
A．It will rise.
B．It will be stable.
C．It will be lowered down.
D．It will change from time to time.
正确答案：A
解析：本题询问美国利率的变化(interest rates)，新闻开头提到自2006年以
来，美联储第一次加息，由此可以推导出美国的利率提高了，因此选A项。
6．
A．To boom up real-estate market.
B．To lower unemployment rate.
C．To finance car industry.
D．To offer food to more people.
正确答案：B
解析：本题询问美联储调整利率的原因，新闻中提到，美联储此举是为了降低失业率(lower unem-ployment)和控制通货膨胀，因此选B项。A项“刺激房地产”和C项“资助汽车工业”和新闻内容不符，新闻只是提到美联储调息后人们要还更多房贷或车贷。D项“给更多人提供食物”没有在新闻中提到。
7．
A．Students with bank loan.
B．Home buyers with bank loan.
C．Low income workers.
D．People with savings accounts.
正确答案：D
解析：本题问的是谁会在此次利率调整中受益，新闻中提到有存款的人会多得一些利息(earn a littlemore interest)，因此对于银行储户会有好处，故选D项。A项“负有货款的学生”和B项“需付贷款的户主”在新闻中均有提及，但加息后，学生和购房者都要付更多银行贷款，都是受害者。C项的“低收入工人”在新闻中未提及。
