Friendships between Americans can be close and real, yet disappear soon if situations change. Neither side feels hurt by this. Both may exchange Christmas greetings for a year or two, perhaps a few letters for a while—then no more. [10] If the same two people meet again by chance, even years later, they pick up the friendship. This can be quite difficult for us Chinese to understand, because friendships between us flow more slowly but then may become lifelong feelings, extending sometimes deeply into both families. Americans are ready to receive us foreigners at their homes, share their holidays, and their home life. They will enjoy welcoming us and be pleased if we accept their hospitality easily.Another difficult point for us Chinese to understand Americans is that although they include us warmly in their personal everyday lives, they don’t show their politeness to us if it requires a great deal of time. This is usually the opposite of the practice in our country where we may be generous with our time. Sometimes, we, as hosts, will appear at airports even in the middle of the night to meet a friend. We may take days off to act as guides to our foreign friends. The Americans, however, express their welcome usually at homes, but truly can not manage the time to do a great deal with a visitor outside their daily routine. They will probably expect us to get ourselves from the airport to our own hotel by bus. And they expect that we will phone them from there.[11] Once we arrive at their homes, the welcome will be full, warm and real. We will find ourselves treated hospitably. For the Americans, it is often considered more friendly to invite a friend to their homes than to go to restaurants, except for purely business matters. So accept their hospitality at home!Questions 9 to 11 are based on the passage you have just heard.9.What is the passage talking about?10.What is the difficult point for Chinese people to understand?11.What will American friends do when we arrive in America?9.A.Friendships between Chinese.B.Friendships between Americans.C.Americans’ hospitality.D.American’ s and Chinese’ s views of friendships.正确答案:D 涉及知识点:听力10.A.Friendships between Americans usually extend deeply into their families.B.Friendships between Americans usually last for all their lives.C.Americans always show their warmth even if they are very busy.D.Americans will continue their friendships again even after a long break.正确答案:D 涉及知识点:听力11.A.He will warmly welcome us at the airport.B.He will offer us a ride to his home.C.He will treat us hospitably at his home.D.He will treat us to dinner in a restaurant.正确答案:C 涉及知识点:听力听力原文:A young man once went to town and bought himself a pair of trousers. When he got home he went upstairs to his bedroom and put them on. He found that they were two inches too long.He went downstairs, where his mother and two sisters were busy washing up the tea things in the kitchen. “These new trousers are too long.”He said, [12] “They need shortening by about two inches. Would one of you mind doing this for me, please?”His mother and sisters were busy and none of them said anything.But as soon as his mother had finished washing up, [13-1] she went quietly upstairs to her son’s bedroom and shortened the trousers by two inches. She came downstairs without saying anything to her daughters.The elder sister was a kind-hearted girl. [13-2] She went quietly upstairs after supper without saying anything to anyone, and cut the trousers by two inches.The young sister went to the cinema, but when she came back, she remembered what her brother had said. [13-3] So she ran upstairs with her scissors, needle and thread and took two inches off the legs of the new trousers. You can imagine the look on the young man’s face when he put the trousers on the next morning.Questions 12 to 15 are based on the passage you have just heard.11.Which of the following is true?13.How many inches too short were the trousers when the young man finally put them on?14.What does the passage tell us?15.What look can you imagine was on the young man’s face?12.A.The man asked his mother and two sisters each cut the trousers by two inches.B.The mother and the sisters need shortening the trousers by two inches.C.The mother shortened the trousers in her own bedroom downstairs.D.The sisters cut the trousers in their brother’ s bedroom upstairs respectively.正确答案:B 涉及知识点:听力13.A.2 inches.B.4 inches.C.6 inches.D.8 inches.正确答案:B 涉及知识点:听力14.A.People sometimes do something wrong with good intention.B.One should discuss it with others if he wants to do something.C.The mother should have helped her son as soon as she was asked to.D.The man should have bought a pair of trousers of his own size.正确答案:B 涉及知识点:听力15.A.Interested.B.Angry.C.Puzzled.D.Merry.正确答案:C 涉及知识点:听力Section C听力原文:The 2016 Nobel Peace Prize for medicine has been awarded to a Japanese biologist. Yoshinori Ohsumi made discoveries in the area of autophagy. That’s the process that a cell uses to recycle some of its own components. Scientists have known about autophagy since the 1960s, [16] but Ohsumi’s work, which included experiments with baker’s yeast led to a deeper understanding of how cells stay healthy. [17] He’ll receive more than $900,000 in prize money. As advances in medicine are made around the world, there’s a U.S.-based biotechnology company that’s raised record funds, even though its method is so far unproven and hasn’t worked before, and its human trials which could take years are just getting started. For years, incurable diseases like cancer and HIV have stumped scientists. But if there’s a cure for those diseases right under our noses, literally? At biotech startup Moderna, they believe [18] the key to treating rare diseases is to trigger the body to heal itself, to make its own medicine. It all comes down to proteins. Sometimes when you’re sick, what you’re just missing is one protein. If we could just give you that protein back, then you’ll be healthier again. For years, we’ve relied on pharmaceutical companies to make expensive protein-based drugs for treatment. But protein-based drugs aren’t as effective as they could be and can degrade in the bloodstream or digestive tract. That’s where Moderna comes in. [19] By injecting your body with messenger RNA molecules, they’ve discovered a way to naturally trigger your body cells into making their own healing proteins. The body makes its own medicine. In theory, messenger RNA or MRNA could deliver the genetic instructions to your cells to make any type of protein that your body needs to heal itself. But until recently, scientists believe our immune systems would reject MRNA from outside sources. Research is still in its early stages. Moderna recently started their first two human clinical trials and has plans for at least four more.Questions 16 to 19 are based on the recording you have just heard.16.What is the influence of 2016 Nobel Peace Prize formedicine winner’s work?17.How much money will the biologist receive?18.What is the key to treat rare diseases?19.How did Moderna discover the way to trigger body cells into making their own healing proteins?16.A.Deeper understanding of how cells stay healthy.B.Knowing about how cell recycle some of its own components.C.Researching about the function of autophagy.D.Investigating biotechnology medicine.正确答案:A 涉及知识点:听力17.A.190,000 dollars.B.900,000 dollars.C.800,000 dollars.D.180,000 dollars.正确答案:B 涉及知识点:听力18.A.Cholesterol.B.Sugar.C.Protein.D.Fat.正确答案:C 涉及知识点:听力19.A.Inject body with RNA molecules.B.Deliver a capsule to digest.C.Swallow tablets to protect cells.D.Provide cell to heal itself.正确答案:A 涉及知识点:听力听力原文:We’re jumping right into our current events coverage with the report involving the European Union. [20] It’s an organization of 28 countries. It’s holding a meeting in Brussels, Belgium this week. [21] And one of the major topics on its agenda is Europe’s ongoing migrant and refugee crisis. There are more people streaming into Europe now than at any point since the Second World War, and there are a lot of disagreements among E.U. members and their citizens about how to address the situation. Another topic involves whether Britain will ultimately remain part of the European Union. Because this is an economic cooperation, the stakes are high. What is the E.U.? [22] The European Union is a group of countries thatwork together to create a single market, to allow goods, capital, services and people to move between the member states, as long as they follow the rules and they pay the entry fee. But we’re getting ahead of ourselves. To start this story, we need to go right back to the end of World War II. After six years of fighting, Europe was disseminated. Economies were collapsing and mistrusts was rife; as old enemies face the prospect of recreating trade ties. France and previous occupiers Germany faced the difficult task of creating a unity for profit. So, they started talking, mainly about steel and coal. In 1951, a total of six countries, France, Belgium, West Germany, Italy, Luxembourg and the Netherlands reached their first accord by uniting the steel and coal industries, creating the European coal and steel community, or the ECSC. They later introduce the European Economic Community, EEC, in 1958. These two organizations are seen as the origin of the modern European Union, which wouldn’t adopt its name until 1993. More than six decades later, the European Union now represents more than half a billion people across 28 countries and with a common currency, the euro, which generates an estimated 14 trillion euros in GDP per year. Questions 20 to 22 are based on the recording you have just heard.20.How many member states are involved in the EU?21.Which is one of the major topics on the agenda?22.Which is not mentioned in the recording about the aim of the EU?20.A.38.B.18.C.28.D.48.正确答案:C 涉及知识点:听力21.A.Climate change.B.Security of Internet.C.Migrant and refugee crisis.D.Currency exchange rates.正确答案:C 涉及知识点:听力22.A.Create a single market.B.Allow goods, capital, services and people to move between the member states.C.Protect the security of member states.D.Member states should follow the rules and pay the entry fee.正确答案:C 涉及知识点:听力听力原文:Morning, class. Today I’ve brought in a picture of the human brain, which we are going to look at and discuss in detail. The brain is like our commandcenter for all our daily functions and allows us to cope with our environment. How we communicate with words, actions, thoughts, and feelings are all centered in the brain. Some researchers believe that the brain is so complex and mysterious that we will never be able to fully understand it. Some have even referred to it as a little black box like those found on a plane that contain all the critical and highly confidential information of the flight. It’s easiest to think of the brain as three connected parts: the cerebrum, brainstem, and cerebellum.[23] Let’s start off with the brainstem, which is found at the bottom of the brain. The brainstem has an important role because it controls lots of critical functions including respiration, regulation of the heart rhythms, basic aspects of sound localization.Next, we’ll look at the second largest part of the brain—the cerebellum. It is located at the lower back of the head and is attached to the brainstem. [24] It is made up of two hemispheres and its functions are to control complex voluntary motor functions such as walking, balance and posture.The third and largest part of our brain is the cerebrum. Its associations are conscious thought, movement and sensations such as touch, vision, hearing, judgment, reasoning, problem solving, and emotions.The average weight of an adult human brain is anywhere between 1 and 1.5 kilograms. Some people say that we only use 10% of our brain, but this is just a myth. In fact, we use our entire brain. [25] That being said, we can claim that most people only use a very small fraction of the cognitive potential of their brain. Different cultures have used several methods to improve their cognitive potential such as reading, education, puzzle solving and critical thinking. I hope this brief introduction to the brain helps you understand the brain and its different functions.Questions 23 to 25 are based on the recording you have just heard.23.Where is the brainstem located in the brain?24.What is the function of the cerebellum?25.To what extent do most people use the cognitive potential of their brains?23.A.At the lower back of the brain.B.At the bottom of the brain.C.At the central section of the brain.D.At the top of the brain.正确答案:B 涉及知识点:听力24.A.Control regulation of the heart rhythms.B.Control basic aspects of sound localization.C.Control conscious thought and sensations.D.Control complex voluntary motor functions.正确答案:D 涉及知识点:听力25.A.Most parts of the brain.B.The entire brain.C.Only 10% of the brain.D.A small fraction of the brain.正确答案:D 涉及知识点:听力。

It’s a mix of no-mobile-phobia.M: Yes. Nomophobia means the fear of not having your smartphone or being connected with others through it. Though the devices are a relatively recent invention, an increasing number of people seemed to have developed a psychological dependence on them and that’s getting researchers’attention.W: It’s been 10 years since the iPhone made its first appearance, and it’s hard to imagine aworld without the smartphone.M: True. We use our smartphones to work, entertain, organize, do hundreds of daily tasks, even find love.W: We might jokingly say that we are addicted to our smartphones, but more and more researchers are starting to agree.M: There’s no widely adopted diagnosis of smartphone addiction, but for some doctors not having an official diagnosis doesn’t mean it isn’t real.W: I’m still amazed at how many people do dismiss it as a silly idea—even plenty of people in my own field. For those who specialized in technology addictions, what goes on inside your head looks similarly to what goes on inside your head when you’re dealing with other addictions.M: What do you mean by that?W: The regions of the brain that light up when engaged in your smartphone, those are the same regions of the brain that are engaged when you’re using those drugs and alcohol.M: I guess it also affects your behaviour.W: Sure.

You’re using it to increase your mood when you’re feeling a little down, or you’re using it to avoid social situations when you walk into a party.M: Can we self-diagnose whether we are addicted to phones or not?W: Unfortunately, we can’t.

That’s because we were terrible at estimating how much time we actually spend online.Questions 5 to 8 are based on the conversation you have just heard.5. What does Nomophobia mean?6.

The company’s chief executive officer, Sundar Pichai, announced the decision in an Internet post. He wrote that the new policy was one of several newly-launched principles aimed at guiding the company’s AI work in the future.The principles are a set of ethical guidelines covering the company’s development and sale of AI technology and tools. The principles were announced after more than 4,000 Google employees signed a document calling for the company to cancel an AI agreement with the US Department of Defense. That agreement, known as Project Maven, involves the use of Google’s AI technology to examine drone images for the US military. A Google official recently told employees Project Maven would not be extended after it ends next year. Google is expected to discuss with military officials how to complete the project without violating its new principles. Kirk Hanson is director of the Markkula Centre for Applied Ethics at Santa Clara University in California. The centre examines how ethics can be used to guide technology development. He said that the opposition by Google employees to the US military agreement was based on fears that AI technology could lead to the creation of autonomous weapons. Google chief Pichai said the company does not plan to stop providing AI technology for all military uses. He said Google will still seek government projects in areas such as military training, Internet security and search and rescue.Questions 9 to 11 are based on the passage you have just heard.9.

The Aeromexico-operated jet had just taken off Tuesday in the Mexican state of Durango when it smashed into the ground near the runway. All the people on board survived the crash and were able to escape before the plane fully caught fire. Nearly everyone suffered some injuries, Mexican officials say. Most of the injuries were minor. But the pilot and one young passenger remain in critical condition. Some of the survivors have posted pictures and videos on social media. Twitter user Ashley Garcia posted a video she took right before and during the crash. People can be heard shouting in fear. The video also shows the passengers walking away from the fiery plane after they escaped. Another survivor said that it was “the scariest moment of my life... never thought this would happen to me.”Alberto Herrera of Chicago, Illinois, was on the plane. He told the Associated Press that a strong burst of wind and hail hit the plane and pushed it back to the ground. “The higher up we went into the storm the heavier the hail got and more wind got to us,”he said. “Then all of a sudden the plane starts rocking and it starts moving around and then hitting the ground.”Herrera and other survivors said the plane burst into flames right after it hit the ground. Aeromexico chief Andres Conesa described the day as “very difficult”and credited the timely reaction of crew and passengers for their survival. Conesa said the passengers included 88 adults, nine children and two babies.

But the removal of large numbers of trees and the use of fire to clear land have caused a lot of damage to the area. Officials say Zimbabwe lost more than 1.5 million hectares of forest in 2016. This is mostly because of local communities cutting the trees for firewood or setting fires in forested areas to make hunting easier. But now a non-profit group, called Environment Africa, is trying to improve the situation. Environment Africa is teaching farmers to raise bees. The group is working in the Mutasa district, near the country’s border with Mozambique. And it has already helped about 1,500 farmers. Benjamin Chatambura is one such farmer. He has set up about 250 beehives near his home. Chatambura sells the honey the bees produce and uses the money to feed his family. He likes having bees on his land because the insects help him and the forest. “The trees provide us with flowers,”he says. “That is the food for the bees to produce the honey. If there were a way, I would like more land to plant more different types of trees. We used to have serious problems before we were trained in the importance of the forest.”Lawrence Nyagwande is with Environment Africa. He says some farmers are earning as much as $1,000 a month from selling honey. The average government worker in Zimbabweearns just about $500 a month. Nyagwande said beekeeping is helping improve the country’s forests. “Now if you look around, the forests in Mutasa are now improving because the communities are also collaborating with the adjacent timber industries to try and fight the forest fires. And at the same time, the plantations which are adjacent have also allowed communities to put their hives in their plantations as a way of trying to keep out forest fires.”Support for this project has helped bring attention to protecting the environment, and caught the attention of the government. Violet Makoto represents Zimbabwe’s Forestry Commission, a government agency that works to protect forests. She says the commission hopes local community leaders will take up beekeeping. She said officials also want to end the use of fire to clear land. “That can get us into a stage where we’ve totally eliminated the issue of field fires, because this has been responsible for the greater loss of the forests that we have been registering over the years.”Questions 16 to 18 are based on the recording you have just heard.16. What is the significance of forests to eastern Zimbabwe?17. What is the non-profit group Environment Africa trying to do?18. What does Lawrence Nyagwande say about bee raising?16.A.They attract large numbers of tourists every year.B.They are the birthplace of the country’s ancient civilization.C.They supply the country with wood and most of its fresh fruit.D.They are now the main source of livelihood for local residents.正确答案:C 涉及知识点:听力17.A.Improve the harsh situation of the forests in Zimbabwe.B.Help the local farmers sell their honey products.C.Find new suppliers of fresh fruit and vegetables.D.Persuade local residents into protecting the forests.正确答案:A 涉及知识点:听力18.A.It has helped eliminate the issue of cutting trees for farmland.B.It has eradicated the use of fire to clear land.C.It brings some farmers a monthly income of as much as $1,000.D.It brings some farmers a monthly income of as much as $500.正确答案:C 涉及知识点:听力听力原文:Many dogs are very hard-working animals. They have been helping people for thousands of years. Dogs protect our homes. They help people with disabilities. They team up with rescue workers in search-and-rescue operations.And now, dogs can add another job to their resumes—finding endangered animals! Theofficial title for this kind of work is conservation detection dog. Conservation experts in Australia are training dogs to use their sense of smell. The aim of the job is to find some of the country’s most endangered creatures. Luke Edwards is a dog owner and trainer. He is training two border collies, named Rubble and Uda, to become conservation detection dogs. He says that border collies are good for this kind of work because they have a great sense of smell. The dogs also have great mental and physical strength to work long hours. Recently, the dogs went on their most difficult job yet—finding the Baw Baw frog. This is the call of the male Baw Baw frog. This frog is one of Australia’s most endangered animals. The work is difficult mainly because of the search area. Just to get to the place, or site, where the frogs live, the dogs and their trainers must walk far distances through alpine forests. “Going out to the sites at Mount Baw Baw is probably one of the hardest areas I’ve had to search in. Just to get out to the site, we’re trekking through alpine forests.”It is difficult but important work. A deadly fungus has killed nearly all of Australia’s Baw Baw frogs. In fact, scientists say these creatures could disappear in the next five to 10 years. Zoos Victoria is a group set up to protect wildlife. Conservation experts there claim that since 1980 the deadly fungus has killed off 98% of the Baw Baw frogs. So, Zoos Victoria is trying to save the frog. Experts there raise them and have them reproduce. They call it their captive breeding program. Deon Gilbert is a frog expert at Zoos Victoria. He says that detecting the frogs in the wild can be very difficult because they mainly live underground. The females are even more difficult to find. They, unlike the male Baw Baw frogs, do not have a call. He adds that the dogs Rubble and Uda had no trouble in finding the frogs. “This species is incredibly difficult to detect in the wild. The dogs were able to locate the exact site where the frogs were calling from much, much quicker than we could do just by using ears.”Questions 19 to 22 are based on the recording you have just heard.19. What is the talk mainly about?20. What is the most difficult part of finding Baw Baw frogs?21. What do scientists say about Baw Baw frogs?22.

For the first time in history, 90% of Americans over 25 years of age have finished high school. In addition, more than one third of Americans over the age of 25 have a college degree or higher. That is a big change from 1940. At that time, a Census Bureau study found that less than 25% of the US population had completed at least four years of high school. It also found that just 4.6% had earned a four-year bachelor’s degree or taken additional classes after completing a study program at a college or university.The new study found that, in 2017, 54% of Americans who did not complete high school were born outside the United States. The numbers are even higher among Hispanic men and women. 76% of Hispanics born overseas did not have a high school degree. Higher percentages of foreign-born people from all race and ethnic groups have not finished high school. Yet nearly the same amount of foreign-born Americans as people born in the United States have a college education. 34% of US-born Americans have a four-year college degree. That rate is similar to the 33% of those born in other countries.The value of a high school degree has changed a lot since the 1940s. Today, a high school education is often required for workers in the US job market. The Census Bureau information showed that the 2007 to 2009 recession led more Americans to go to college. During the recession, there was a 33% increase in students registering at two-year colleges. Those new students may have decided to return to school to improve their skills or learn new ones during a time when labor market conditions were worsening. 29% of all students were registered at two-year colleges in 2010, but that number had dropped to 25% in 2015. As the labor market improved, fewer Americans left their jobs to go to college. However, the number of students registered at two-year colleges was still 10% higher in 2015 than in 2006. The Census Bureau found that people can earn more money if they go to college. In 2016, people with high school degrees earned an average of $35,615 per year. Those with a four-year college degree earned $65,482, and people with advanced degrees took home an average of $92,525. There is still abig difference between men and women. Men with a college degree earned an average of $79,927 in 2016. Women with the same level of education were paid an average of $50,856.Questions 23 to 25 are based on the recording you have just heard.23. What can we learn from the talk?24. What is the influence of the 2007 to 2009 recession on education?25. What can we learn from the end of the talk?23.A.Less Americans want to earn a higher degree.B.More than 25% of Americans have a college degree now.C.Americans are more educated than ever before.D.Most Americans tend to quit school at the age of 25.正确答案:C 涉及知识点:听力24.A.Many two-year colleges closed.B.A few vocational schools were set up.C.More Americans went to college.D.Less Americans pursue a higher degree.正确答案:C 涉及知识点:听力25.A.Men tend to have a higher income than women with the same degree.B.Women with a college degree earn more than men with the same degree.C.Men usually earn twice as much as women when they have the same degree.D.There is little difference between men and women in income when they have the same degree.正确答案:A 涉及知识点:听力。

A really interesting one, actually. We’re supposed to write a short story that has some sort of limitation or, or, constraints imposed on it. W: What do you mean? Like rhyming in a poem? M: Well, that’ll be an idea But what we write has to be prose, like prose poetry. Just to make rhyme in a poem is too easy, I guess. I think Prof. Eliot really wants to challenge us, to put our creativity to the test. W: Well, did she give any hints about what she has in mind? M: Not really, but I may have an idea of the kind of thing she’s looking for. I just finished a really strange book by some French guy. He wrote a whole book without even using a single e. W: A whole book without a single e? How’s it possible? But, wait a minute. I didn’t know you can read French. M: I can’t I read the English translation. But get this. There’s not one e in that either. W: No way. Think of the words you couldn’t use. M: I know, but that translator manages it. I got the book at home if you want to check out for yourself.[8]What’s really amazing to me is that leaving e in French is no easy job and doing it in English is gonna involve a complete different group of words. It’s a real work of mind. W: Sometime you have to show me that book. But right now I’d better get going on the writing for next week. 5. Why didn’t the woman attend the creative writing class today?6. What are the speakers assigned to write?7. Why did the man mention a book by a French author?8. What point does the man make about the letter e?5.A.She had to borrow books.B.She had to think of words.C.She had to see a dentistD.She had to finish an assignment.正确答案:C解析:选项均是She had to开头,可推测题目与不得不做某事有关。
