What does the man think of the solution?PassagePassage 1Attracting and feeding wild birds are entertaining activities that have long been enjoyed by people all over the world. Feeding birds has become so popular that prepared feed mixtures are readily available. We feed birds for many reasons. Many pleasant hours can come from watching birds. A hobby often develops into a serious study of their habits. Accurate identification of birds is usually the first goal. But observationsthat an amateur bird-watcher can make are really limitless. There is, however, responsibility associated with bird feeding, including a disease hazard. Attracting numbers of birds continually to the same spot can be harmful to them, particularly species that pick food from the ground contaminated by the droppings of other birds. In winter feeding efforts are most satisfying to people and are of greatest benefit to birds. During this time when fewer natural foods are available and air temperatures are lower, extra feeding can keep a bird warm and well. Once begun, feeding should never stop during these lean months. If you start a local increase of birds, be prepared to do what may be required to eliminate hazards to those you want to befriend. A constant supply of food should be given until the cold is over and spring has come. If feeding is stopped during severe weather, birds used to relying upon the feeders must starve.Questions 26 to 28 are based on the passage you’ve just heard.Q26 What does the speaker say about bird watching?Q27 What does the speaker say about birds fed continually on the same spot?Q28 What does the speaker suggest we do in feeding birds in winter?Passage 2My friend Leo makes up weak and poor excuses whenever there is something he doesn’t want to do. Just two weeks ago, he was at my house when he decided he didn’t want to go into work. He called his boss and said he had to get a new set of tires put on his truck. Then he sat down and watched TV with me. Not only had he lied but his excuse wasn’t a very convincing one. Another time, he cancelled a date with his girlfriend at the lastminute telling her he had to get a new battery for his truck. She was angry and refused to go out with him again until he apologized. Last weekend, Leo offered the poorest excuse yet. He’d promised he’d help me move some furniture, from my parents’ house to my new apartment. He was supposed to bring his truck over about 8 o’clock Saturday morning. I waited, and then called and left a message on his machine. About 11:30, he called and said he was sorry but he’d been getting a new set of tires put on his truck. I guess he’d forgotten he used the same excuse when he called his boss from my house. I think I need a new set of friends. I’m beginning to get tired of Leo’s exc uses.Questions 29 to 31 are based on the passage you’ve just heard.Q29 What does the speaker tell us about her friend Leo?Q30 What did his girlfriend do when Leo canceled a date with her at the last minute?Q31 What favor did the speaker ask Leo to do last weekend?Passage 3In Hollywood, everybody wants to be rich, famous and beautiful. Nobody wants to be old, unknown and poor. For Hollywood kids, life can be difficult because they grow up such an unreal atmosphere. Their parents are ambitious and the c hildren are part of the parents’ ambitions. Parents pay for wasteful grand parties, expensive cars and designer clothes. When every dream can come true, kids don’t learn the value of anything because they have everything. A thirteen-year-old boy, Trent Maguire, has a driver, credit cards and unlimited cash to do what he wants when he wants to. “One day, I’ll earn more than my dad!” he boasts. Parents buy care and attention for their children because they have no time to give it themselves.Amender’s mother employs a personal trainer, a bodyguard, a singing coach and a councilor to look after all her fifteen-year-old daughter’s needs. Often, there is no parent at home most days, so children decide whether to make their own meals or go out to restaurants, when to watch television or do homework. They organize their social life. They play no childhood games. They become adults before they’re ready. Hollywood has always been the city of dreams. The kids there live unreal lives where money, beauty and pleasure are the only gods. Will children around the world soon start to think the same? Or do they already?Questions 32 to 35 are based on the passage you’ve just heard.Q32 Why is life said to be difficult for Hollywood kids?Q33 What does the speaker say about Trent Maguire, a thirteen-year-old boy?Q34 Why does Amender’s mother employ other people to look after her needs?Q35 What will probably have negative effects on the lives of Hollywood kids?Compound DictationAround 120 years ago, Ebbinghaus began his study of memory. He concentrated on studying how quickly the human mind can remember information. One result of his research is known as the total time hypothesis, which simply mean the amount you learn depends on the time you spend trying to learn it. This can be taken as our first rule of learning. Although it is usually true that studying for 4 hours is better than studying for 1, there is still the question of how to use the 4 hours. For example, is it better to study for 4 hours straight or to study for1 hour a day for 4 days in a row? The answer, as you may have suspected, is that it is better to spread out the study times. This phenomenon through which we can learn more efficiently by dividing our practice time is known as the distribution of practice eff ect. Thus, our second rule of learning is this. It’s better to study fairly briefly but often. But we are not finished yet. We haven’t considered how we should study over very short periods of time. Let’s say you are trying to learn some new and rather difficult English vocabulary using a stack of cards. Should you look at the same word in rapid succession or look at the word and then have some delay before you look at it again? The answer is it is better to space up the presentations of the word you are to learn.。

That's why horses,which also come from Central Asia,like both apples and carrots so much.With wild carrots,the roots are white, small and skinny,so you'd have to pick a lot of wild carrotsto get enough to eat.Doctors used carrot seeds and roots as medicine, on the theory that foods that taste badmust be good for you.Around 800 AD, people in Central Asia managed to develop a new kind of carrot—a purple carrot—that attracted more interest from international traders.Then, in the late 1500s,food scientists in the Netherlandscultivated large, straight, sweet, red carrotslike the ones we eat today.But people still mostly fed carrots to horses, donkeys and pigs, and didn't eat them themselves. In the 1600s,people in China used carrots as medicine,but they also ate carrots boiled in soup.The red color was popular forChinese New Year celebrations.But carrots got their biggest boostduring the two world wars,when food shortages forced people to eat them, and governments told everyonehow healthy carrots were.Today, cooler countriesgrow most of the world's carrots.Machines do most of the planting and picking, and carrots are easy to store and ship,so they are cheap almost everywhere. Questions 16 to 18 are based on the passageyou have just heard.16. What do we learn from the talkabout wild carrots?17. What does the speaker sayabout carrots in the late 1500s?18. Why did people turn to carrots for food during the two world wars?Passage TwoKatherine loved Facebook.With Facebook,she could stay connected with her familyno matter how far away they were.She could see their photosand read their status updates.With Facebook,she could keep her relatives up-to-dateon what she was doing.Another thing Katherine loved about Facebook was that she didn't have to think about time zones when updating family.Whenever she called her parents or other relatives, she always had to think about the time difference so that she wouldn't wake someone up or call when she knew they were at church.Facebook was so convenient.When Katherine joined Facebook,some of her classmates at high schoolstarted to add her as a friend.At first, this didn't bother her.She loved learning about the success of people she knew when she was just a teenager.She loved finding out people were getting married, having babies, and traveling.Soon, however, Katherine found herself comparing herself with the peopleshe was reading about on Facebook.It began to make her feel badthat some people seemed to be doingso much better than she was.She was also spending a lot of time on Facebook. It took a lot of time and energyto keep up with everyone's status updates. Katherine started to think.She looked at the list of over 500 friendsshe had on Facebook and realizedsome of them were not really friends at all. Questions 19 to 21 are based on the passageyou have just heard.19. What was one particular convenience Katherine loved about Facebook?20. How did Katherine feelwhen her classmates added heras a Facebook friend?21. What made Katherine feel badabout herself later on?Passage ThreeDo you know where a mule comes from?It is the child of a donkey and a horse.Mules have strong muscles like horses,but they eat less, can work longer,and are gentler, like donkeys.George Washington was the first personin the United States to own mules.He had heard that mules made good farm animals and he contacted the U.S. ambassador in Spainto ask about them.In 1785, King Charles Ⅲof Spainsent Washington a male donkey as a gift.That male donkey becamethe father of the mule industry in the U.S.Every April,Maury County holds a Mule Day celebration. Held in Columbia, Tennessee,Mule Day had its beginnings as "Breeder's Day"in the 1840s.Farmers and farm animal breederswould bring their animals to market every Aprilto show, buy, and trade.This was an important businessbefore the days of tractors,when many families made a living from farming and mules were used as work animals. Eventually, tractors began to replace mules,making them less in demand.A parade was added to Mule Day in 1934to attract more people.Over the years other activities have been added, and today more than 200,000 people show up each year to watch and participate.If you visit during Mule Day celebrations,you might see mule-driving contests,square dances, horse showsor even tree-cutting competitions.Questions 22 to 25 are based on the passage you have just heard.22. What does the speaker say about mules?23. What do we learn about the donkeywhich is said to bethe father of the U.S. mule industry?24. What did farmers usually do on Mule Dayin the 1840s?25. What made mules less in demand in America? This is the end of listening comprehension.。
