二、具体题目分析A卷Passage 1 ：题目：小岛旅游参考文章(原文有删减)：Eco-Resort Management PracticesA Ecotourism is often regarded as a form of nature-based tourism and has become an important alternative source of tourists. In addition to providing the traditional resort-leisure product, it has been argued that ecotourism resort management should have a particular focus on best-practice environmental management, an educational and interpretive component, and direct and indirect contributions to the conservation of the natural and cultural environment (Ayala, 1996).B Couran Cove Island Resort is a large integrated ecotourism-based resort located south of Brisbane on the Gold Coast, Queensland, Australia. As the world's population becomes increasingly urbanised, the demand for tourist attractions which are environmentally friendly, serene and offer amenities of a unique nature, has grownrapidly. Couran Cove Resort, which is one such tourist attractions, is located on South Stradbroke Island, occupying approximately 150 hectares of the island. South Stradbroke Island is separated from the mainland by the Broadwater, a stretch of sea 3 kilometers wide More than a century ago, there was only one Stradbroke Island, and there were at least four nitribes living and hunting on the island. Regrettably, most of the original island dwellers were eventually killed by diseases such as tuberculosis, smallpox and influenza by the end of the 19th century. The second ship wreak on the island in 1894, and the subsequent destruction of the ship (the Cambus Wallace) because it contained dynamite, caused a large crater in the sandhills on Stradbroke Island. Eventually, the ocean broke through the weakened land form and Stradbroke became two islands. Couran Cove Island Resort is built on one of the world's few naturally-occurring sand lands, which is home to a wide range of plant communities and one of the largest remaining remnants of the rare livistona (i) rainforest left on the Gold Coast. Many mangrove and rainforest areas, and Malaleuca Wetlands on South Stradbroke Island (and in Queensland), have been cleared, drained or filled for residential, industrial, agricultural or urban development in the first half of the 20th century. Farmers and graziers finally abandoned South Stradbroke Island in 1939 because the vegetation and the soil conditions there were not suitable for agricultural activities.SUSTAINABLE PRACTICES OF COUTRAN COVE RESORTBeing located on an offshore island, the resort is only accessible by means of water transportation. The resort provides hourly ferry service from the marina on the mainlandto and from the island. Within the resort, transport modes include walking trails, bicycle tracks and the beach train. The reception area is the counter of the shop which has not changed in 8 years at least. The accommodation is an octagonal "Bure (草屋，房子)'These are large rooms that are clean but! The equipment is tired and in some cases just working. Our ceiling fan only worked on high speed for example. Beds are hard but clean, there is television, radio, an old air conditioner and a small fridge. These "Bures" are right on top of each other and night noises do carry so be careful what you say and do. The only thing is the mosquitoes but if you forget to bring mosquito repellant they sell some on the island.As an ecotourism-based resort, most of the planning and development of the attraction has been concentrated on the need to co-exist with the fragile natural environment of South Stradbroke Island to achieve sustainable development.WATER AND ENERGY MANAGEMENTC South Stradbroke Island has groundwater at the centre of the island, which has a maximum height of 3 metres above sea level. The water supply is recharged by rainfall and is commonly known as an unconfined freshwater aquifer C 蓄水层)•Couran Cove Island Resort obtains its water supply by tapping into this aquifer and extracting it via a bore system. Some of the problems which have threatened the island's freshwater supply include pollution, contamination and over-consumption. In order to minimise some of these problems, all laundry activities are carried out on the mainland. The resort considers washing machines as onerous to the island's freshwater supply, and that the detergentscontain a high level of phosphates which are a major source of water pollution. The resort uses LPG-power generation rather than a diesel-powered(柴油动力) plant for its energy supply, supplemented by wind turbine, which has reduced greenhouse emissions by 70% of diesel-equivalent generation methods. Excess heat recovered from the generator is used to heat the swimming pool. Hot water in the eco-cabins and for some of the resort's vehicles are solar-powered. Water efficient fittings are also installed in showers and toilets. However, not all the appliances used by the resort are energy efficient, such as refrigerators. Visitors who stay at the resort are encouraged to monitor their water and energy usage via the in-house television systems, and are rewarded with prizes (such as a free return trip to the resort) accordingly if their usage level is low.CONCLUDING REMARKSD We examined a case study of good management practice and a pro-active sustainable tourism stance of an eco-resort. In three years of operation, Couran Cove Island Resort has won 23 international and national awards, including the 2001 Australian Tourism Award in the 4-Star Accommodation category. The resort has embraced and has effectively implemented contemporary environmental management practices. It has been argued that the successful implementation of the principles of sustainability should promote long-term social, economic and environmental benefits, while ensuring and enhancing the prospects of continued viability for the tourism enterprise. Couran Cove Island Resort does not conform to the characteristics of the Resort Development Spectrum, as proposed by Prideaux (2000). According to Prideaux, the resort should be atleast at Phase 3 of the model (the National tourism phase), which describes an integrated resort providing 3-4 star hotel-type accommodation. The primary tourist market in Phase 3 of the model consists mainly of interstate visitors. However, the number of interstate and international tourists visiting the resort is small, with the principal visitor markets comprising locals and residents from nearby towns and the Gold Coast region. The carrying capacity of Couran Cove does not seem to be of any concern to the Resort management. Given that it is a private commercial ecotourist enterprise, regulating the number of visitors to the resort to minimize damage done to the natural environment on South Stradbroke Island is not a binding constraint. However, the Resort7s growth will eventually be constrained by its carrying capacity, and quantity control should be incorporated in the management strategy of the resort.Passage 2 ：内容：机器人与小孩参考答案：待补充Passage 3 ：内容：海豚参考答案：待补充B卷Passage 1 ：题目：Energy from the Ocean内容：海洋中可以利用的4种能源，分别为tidal power, marine current power, wave power, ocean thermal energy a题型：多选3+匹配5+填空题5道参考答案：多选题(7选3 )在海洋中建立Tidal power plant 的positive effects ?A range of sea shoreB cost of establishing a tidal power plantC it is helpful to establish transportation systemD effect of fish and some other sea life around配对题A Tidal energyB Current energyC Thermal energy题目集合均关于三种能量在现阶段开采、使用的程度以及未来发展的潜力(NB )1. which kind of energy has already been subject to a successful trial AA2.

The expansion of desert like conditions into areas where they did not previously exist is called desertification. It has been estimated that an additional one-fourth of the Earth's land surface is threatened by this process.Desertification is accomplished primarily through the loss of stabilizing natural vegetation and the subsequent accelerated erosion of the soil by wind and water. In some cases the loose soil is blown completely away, leaving a stony surface. In other cases, thefiner particles may be removed, while the sand-sized particles are accumulated to form mobile hills or ridges of sand.Even in the areas that retain a soil cover, the reduction of vegetation typically results in the loss of the soil's ability to absorb substantial quantities of water. The impact of raindrops on the loose soil tends to transfer fine clay particles into the tiniest soil spaces, sealing them and producing a surface that allows very little water penetration. Water absorption is greatly reduced; consequently runoff is increased, resulting in accelerated erosion rates. The gradual drying of the soil caused by its diminished ability to absorb water results in the further loss of vegetation, so that a cycle of progressive surface deterioration is established.In some regions，the increase in desert areas is occurring largely as the result of a trend toward drier climatic conditions. Continued gradual global warming has produced an increase in aridity for some areas over the past few thousand years. The process may be accelerated in subsequent decades if global warming resulting from air pollution seriously increases.There is little doubt, however, that desertification in most areas results primarily from human activities rather than natural processes. The semiarid lands bordering the deserts exist in a delicate ecological balance and are limited in their potential to adjust to increased environmental pressures. Expanding populations are subjecting the land to increasing pressures to provide them with food and fuel. In wet periods, the land may be able to respond to these stresses. During the dry periods that are common phenomenaalong the desert margins, though, the pressure on the land is often far in excess of its diminished capacity, and desertification results.Four specific activities have been identified as major contributors to the desertification processes: over cultivation, overgrazing, firewood gathering, and over irrigation. The cultivation of crops has expanded into progressively drier regions as population densities have grown. These regions are especially likely to have periods of severe dryness, so that crop failures are common. Since the raising of most crops necessitates the prior removal of the natural vegetation, crop failures leave extensive tracts of land devoid of a plant cover and susceptible to wind and water erosion.The raising of livestock is a major economic activity in semiarid lands, where grasses are generally the dominant type of natural vegetation. The consequences of an excessive number of livestock grazing in an area are the reduction of the vegetation cover and the trampling and pulverization of the soil. This is usually followed by the drying of the soil and accelerated erosion.Firewood is the chief fuel used for cooking and heating in many countries. The increased pressures of expanding populations have led to the removal of woody plants so that many cities and towns are surrounded by large areas completely lacking in trees and shrubs. The increasing use of dried animal waste as a substitute fuel has also hurt the soil because this valuable soil conditioner and source of plant nutrients is no longer being returned to the land.The final major human cause of desertification is soil salinization resulting from overirrigation. Excess water from irrigation sinks down into the water table. If no drainage system exists, the water table rises, bringing dissolved salts to the surface. The water evaporates and the salts are left behind, creating a white crustal layer that prevents air and water from reaching the underlying soil.The extreme seriousness of desertification results from the vast areas of land and the tremendous numbers of people affected, as well as from the great difficulty of reversing or even slowing the process. Once the soil has been removed by erosion, only the passage of centuries or millennia will enable new soil to form. In areas where considerable soil still remains, though, a rigorously enforced program of land protection and cover-crop planting may make it possible to reverse the present deterioration of the surface.参考答案：段落信息配对题1.

What do you need to do in order to understand the lecture?Now there are four things that I'm going to talk about.The first thing is that you need to be aware of all of the parts of the language that carrymeaning.You all know that words carry meaning.So you've got to be aware of the vocabulary of the language, but there are some otherfeatures.For one thing, you need to be aware of stress.Let me give you an example."I went to the bar.""I went to the bar."It makes a difference.In the second example, I'm stressing the fact that it was me and not someone else so that thismeans stress has some meaning.Now the next thing you might want to listen for is intonation.For example, if I say "He came." "He came?"There are two different meanings.One is a statement, the other one is a question.And another thing you need to listen for is rhythm.For instance, "Can you see, Mary?" VS "Can you see Mary?" Dadadadada. Dadadadada.Those two mean something different.In the first one, they are talking directly to Mary, while the second one means"Can you see Mary over there?"Now the next thing you must do when you listen is that you need to add information that thelecturer expects you to add.All lecturers assume that they share some information with their audience and that theiraudience does not need them to explain every word.And listeners have an ability to add this information due to two sources of information.That is: 1) their knowledge of a particular subject; and 2) their knowledge or experience ofthe world.So remember, listening is not a matter of just absorbing the speaker's words - the listener hasto do more than that.The listener is not a tape recorder, absorbing the speaker's words and putting them into his orher brain.Rather, listening involves hearing the speaker's words and reinterpreting them, addinginformation if necessary.So the meaning is not in the word alone, rather it is in the person who uses it or responds to itso that the second thing that a listener must do - add information that the lecturer assumesthat they share.OK. The third thing that a listener needs to do, and this is to me the most important thing ofall, and that's to predict as you listen.Now let me give you two reasons why you have to predict.For one thing, if you predict it helps you overcome noise.What do I mean by noise?Maybe there's noise outside and you can't hear me.Maybe you're in the back of the room and you can't hear all that well.Maybe the microphone doesn't work.Maybe there's noise inside your head.By that I mean maybe you're thinking of something else.And then all of a sudden, you'll remember "Oh, I've got to listen."By being able to predict during the lecture, you can just keep listening to the lecture and notlose the idea of what's going on.So predicting is important to help you overcome outside noise and inside noise.And another reason that predicting is important is because it saves you time.Now when you listen you need time to think about the information, relate it to old ideas, takenotes, and if you're only keeping up with what I'm saying or what the lecturer's saying, youhave no time to do that.And I'll bet a lot of you are having that problem right now because it's so hard just to followeverything I'm saying that you don't have time to note down ideas.So predicting saves you time.If you can guess what I'm going to say, you're able to take notes, you're able to think, youhave more time.OK? And there are two types of predictions that you can make: predictions of content andpredictions of organization.Let me give you an example in terms of content.If you hear the words "Because he loved to cook, his favorite room w as…" what would youexpect?Kitchen. You can guess this because you know people cook in the kitchen.OK? And you can also predict organization.So if I was going to tell you a story, you expect me to tell you why the story is important, giveyou a setting for the story.So you have expectations of what the speaker is going to talk about and how the speaker willorganize his or her words.Now let's come to the last thing a listener must do: the listener must evaluate as he or she islistening, decide what's important, what's not, decide how something relates to something else.OK? There are again two reasons for this.The first one is evaluating helps you to decide what to take notes about, what's important towrite down, what's not important to write down.And the second reason is that evaluating helps you to keep information.Studies have shown that we retain more information if ideas are connected to one anotherrather than just individually remembered.So for example, if I give you five ideas that are not related to one another, that's much moredifficult to remember than five ideas that are related.So you can see evaluating helps you to remember information better because it connects ideasto one another.OK. From what I've said so far, you can see there's a lot involvedin listening to lectures -language awareness, adding information, making predictions and evaluations.I hope these will be useful to you in lecture comprehension.SECTION B INTERVIEWNow both the government and the opposition partyagreed that state schools are not good enough.And the Opposition is coming up with somenew proposals of their own to improve them. But is their approach really all that different fromthe government's? Today we have Theresa May, the shadow education secretary from theOpposition with us on the radio show.M: Good afternoon, Theresa.W: Good afternoon.M: Can I remind you of what John Major said only a few years ago when he was Prime Minister?He said we should give people opportunity and choice. "We don't mean some people. I meaneveryone, opportunity for all." Well, that is precisely what the present government is saying,opportunity for all.W: The hallmark of this government is that what they say and what they actually do is alwaysdifferent. And that's no different in education. What we see from the present government isthat they may talk about opportunity for all, they may talk about choice, but actually they arecutting opportunity and reducing choice. And what I think is most damaging is that actuallythey are giving a message "Don't bother. If you are from a state school, there are barriers tobe put in your place." But this is far from the truth. Universities have been doing a very greatdeal to encourage state school pupils to apply. The point is that we still haven't got enoughstate school pupils applying to our leading universities.M: But your government had 18 years to get more of them into Oxbridge.W: And indeed we increased the number of young people in this country going to university,from one in eight to one in three. The number of state pupils being accepted by Oxford andCambridge and other leading universities, the proportion of state pupils has actually increased.But there is a problem in many of our secondary schools - of expectations. And it is thepresent government that has been leveling down expectations rather than raising them.M: But I was talking about pupils from state schools going to the so-called elite universities.That didn't go up during your time.W: The number from the state schools who are going to leading universities has increased overthe years. But there's still an issue aboutensuring the pupils from our state schools apply togoing to the universities. And if you look at the Oxford figures, for example, you see that thepercentage of students applying to Oxford from the state schools is about onepercent,whereas from the private schools it's over 4.5 percent, so that you know that's the problem.It's expectations in the state system that have been driven down by this government over theyears.M: But again you had the opportunity to do that as well. I mean to get more children fromstate schools into those leading universities and it didn't happen.W: We have been getting more children from state schools into the leading universities and theuniversities have been working very hard at doing that. But I think there's going to be a realproblem in the short term as a result of what the present government has been doing, becausethey have been giving a message that there are barriers there. And we've seen it today. Thereare reports already that Cambridge have been finding state school pupils ringing up and sayingthat they are not going to bother to apply now. That's the real damage the government hasbeen doing. Far from opening opportunities, they are actually closing down opportunities.M: Well, they'd argue with that of course. And what they would say is "one of the things wewant to do is improve the standard of our schools". Now one of the ways they want to do it isto give the schools the opportunity to run themselves more completely than they are doing atthe moment. To give schools more powers, exactly the same as you. You made a speech lastnight laying out the way you see the education system changing in this country. I see nodifference here at all between you and them.W: There's a very great deal of difference actually. The present government talks aboutfreedom for schools. It talks about getting money into schools. But if you look in the detail ofwhat they are proposing, the reality is very different. We genuinely want to make schools freeand give them the freedom to have all of the money to spend on what is going on in theirschools.M: All of it?W: Well, the government say in the future 85 pence in the pound will go to the schools. I wantto make sure that every pound spent on schools is a pound spent in schools. I think schoolsshould have the money and have the power to decide how to spend it because they know bestwhat's in the interest of their pupils.M: Right. So the answer to my question was "Yes. All of that money will go to the schools", wasit?W: I want to see every pound spent on schools.M: Well, you say all of the money being spent in schools going into the schools. Fine. But whatdoes it mean in practice? Does it mean, I repeat the question, that all of that money, all of it,will go to the schools?W: What it means is that all that money at the moment that is being spent on the schoolsshould be spent in the schools rather than, - M: And on local? -rather than money that issupposed to be spent on schools but is being held back in bureaucracy.M: So at the moment a certain amount of money goes to schools. A certain amount of moneygoes to local education authorities. Are you saying that in future no money will go to localeducation authorities but all of the money will go to the schools. I mean that's a verystraightforward question, isn't it?W: At the moment what happens is that money goes to local education authorities and theydecide how much money is then going to be spent on the schools. Money's held back at thoseeducation authorities and is held back initially at central government as well for them to decidehow it should be spent.I want that money to be actually in the schools for the schools todecide how it should be spent.M: OK. Thank you very much, Theresa, for talking to us on the program.W: Pleasure.SECTION C NEWS BROADCASTNews 1:A media research study said that 91% of adults inBritain watched their main TV set once a week - up from 88% in 2002. It said the popularity ofsmartphones and tablets was taking teens out of bedrooms back into family rooms. Far fromtechnology pulling family time apart, it said, the huge growth in mobile was actually having theopposite effect. Family members are being brought together just as they were in the 1950swhen a TV was likely to be a home's only screen. There are a number of factors for this. Peopleare now watching on much bigger, better television sets. But also, there's the rise of connecteddevices, such as a smartphone or tablet. People are coming into the living room today clutchingthose devices. They offer a range of opportunities to do things while watching television.News 2:Uruguay's lower house passed a marijuana legalization bill Wednesday, bringing the SouthAmerican nation one step closer to becoming the first to legally regulate production,distribution and sale of the drug. After more than 12 hours of debate, the bill garnered the 50votes it needed to pass in the House of Representatives. Forty-six lawmakers voted against thebill. Uruguay's President has said he backs the bill, which would allow marijuana to be sold inpharmacies and create a registry of those who buy it. Only those 18 and older would be allowedto purchase the drug. Critics of the measure have said it promotes drug addiction.Supporters of the measure have said it will fight criminal drug trafficking and marks a turningpoint and could influence other Latin American nations to take a similar approach.News 3:Access to clean water and soap not only improves hygiene but may boost growth in youngchildren, research suggests. A review of global data found evidence of a small increase inheight - about 0.5cm - in under-fives living in households with good sanitation. The studiestook place in Bangladesh, Ethiopia, Nigeria, Chile, Guatemala, Pakistan, Nepal, South Africa,Kenya and Cambodia. Dr. Alan Dangour, a public health nutritionist who led the studies, saidproviding clean water, sanitation and hygiene is an effective way to reduce deaths fromsymptoms such as diarrhea. "What we've found by bringing together all of the evidence for thefirst time is that there is a suggestion that these interventions improve the growth of childrenand that's very important," he told BBC News. He said there is a clear link between dirty water,diarrhea and poor growth outcomes, because repeated illnesses in early childhood can affectgrowth.。

Now I’m going to ask you a little bit about the property itself so we can make an accurate estimate of the cost of insuring your home. Could you tell me the size of your house? JANET: Um, well, I don’t have the exact measurements, but I’m pretty sure it’s right [4]around 80 square metres. ShouldI measure it and call you back later? AGENT: No, that’s completely alright. I’ll write80 square metres for now to get the estimate and then an agent will come get the exact measurements later on if you decide to purchase our insurance. JANET: Okay, great.AGENT: And what material is your house made of? For example, wood, brick, stucco... JANET: It’s mainly [5]brick. AGENT: Great - that will give you a lower rate than most other materials since it is so strong. JANET: Wonderful!AGENT: And do you have any sort of home security, Ms. Evans? JANET: Um, we don’t have a fence or anything yet, but [6]we have an alarm system that we use regularly. AGENT: Good.AGENT: Now I’ll go through a number of things we offer coverage for, and I’d like you to tell me which items you want your policy to cover. JANET: Okay. AGENT: We’ll start with the building itself first - would you like us to cover incidental damage to the structure to your house? JANET: Absolutely. AGENT: Splendid. And the contents inside your house - we usually cover all items with an appraised value above ￡200. Would you like us to cover theft and damage beyond natural wear-and-tear? I will let you know that the second option here will come with a considerable increase in your rates. JANET: I think I’d just like the contents of the house to be covered against theft then. AGENT: Alright - and would you like any other insurance - fire, flood, etc? JANET: Yes - [7]I definitely want flood coverage. It rains a lot here, and the drainage system in the area is not the greatest. AGENT: Okay. I am calculatingyour quotation now. It will just take a second. (Two seconds pause) It looks like your annual insurance rate will be ￡148.30. JANET: Thanks, that seems somewhat reasonable. I would like to take some time to think about it. How long does it take to begin receiving coverage after signing up? AGENT: It depends on the time of year - it can take anywhere from two to six weeks. I would say if you sign up by July 1st, you could start your coverage by [9]August 1st.JANET: I see. Okay, thanks for your help. Should I call you back at this number when I have made my decision? AGENT: Yes, please. And so that we can look up your account faster, I’ll give you a reference number that you should provide when calling. Ready? JANET: Yep! AGENT: It’s [10]TR278Q. JANET: Got it. Thanks!

Positive tests for dust mite allergies are extremely common among people with asthma. Dust mites are microscopic arachnids whose primary food is dead human skin cells, but they do not live on living people. They and their faces and other allergens they produce are major constituents of house dust, but because they are so heavy they are not suspended for long in the air. They are generally found on the floor and other surfaces until disturbed (by walking, for example). It could take somewhere between twenty minutes and two hours for dust mites to settle back down out of the air.Atmospheric or wind-borne dust, also known as aeolian dust, comes from arid and dry regions where high velocity winds are able to remove mostly silt-sized material, deflating susceptible surfaces. This includes areas where grazing, ploughing, vehicle use, and other human activities have further destabilized the land, though not all source areas have been largely affected by anthropogenic impacts.[4] One-third of the global land area is covered by dust-producing surfaces, made up of hyper-arid regions like the Sahara which covers 0.9 billion hectares, and drylands which occupy 5.2 billion hectares.[5] Dust in the atmosphere is produced by saltation and sandblasting of sand-sized grains, and it is transported through the troposphere. This airborne dust is considered an aerosol and once in the atmosphere, it can produce strong local radiative forcing. Saharan dust in particular can be transported and deposited as far as the Caribbean and Amazonia, and may affect air temperatures, cause ocean cooling, and alter rainfall amounts.Coal dust is responsible for the lung disease known as pneumoconiosis, including black lung disease that occurs among coal miners. The danger of coal dust resulted in environmental legislation regulating work place air quality in some jurisdictions. In addition, if enough coal dust is dispersed within the air in a given area, it can create an explosion hazard under certain circumstances. Control of atmospheric dustThe United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) mandates facilities that generate dust minimize or mitigate the production of dust in their operation. The most frequent dust control violations occur at new residential housing developments in urban areas. United States Federal law requires that construction sites obtain permits to conduct earth moving, and include plans to control dust emissions. Control measures include such simple practices as spraying construction and demolition sites with water, and preventing the tracking of dust onto adjacent roads.Some of the issues include:Reducing dust related health risks that include allergic reactions,pneumonia and asthmatic attacks.∙Improving visibility and road safety.∙Providing cleaner air, cleaner vehicles and cleaner homes and promoting better health.∙Improving crop productivity in agriculture.∙Reducing vehicle maintenance costs by lowering the levels of dust that clog filters, bearings and machinery.∙Reducing driver fatigue, maintenance on suspension systems and improving fuel economy.∙Increasing cumulative effect - each new application builds on previous residuals reducing re-application rate *while improving performance.US federal laws require dust control on sources such as vacant lots, unpaved parking lots, and unpaved roads. Dust in such places may be suppressed by mechanical methods, including paving or laying down gravel, or stabilizing the surface with water, vegetable oils[11] or other dust suppressants, or by using water misters to suppress dust that is already airborne.Control of domestic dustDust control is the suppression of solid particles with diameters less than 500 micrometers. Dust in the airstream poses a serious health threat to children,[12]older people, and those with respiratory illnesses.House dust can become airborne easily. Care is required when removing dust to avoid causing the dust to become airborne. A feather duster tends to agitate the dust so it lands elsewhere. Products like Pledge and Swiffer are specifically made for removing dust by trapping it with sticky chemicals.Certified HEPA (tested to MIL STD 282) can effectively trap 99.97% of dust at 0.3 micrometers. Not all HEPA (type/media) filters can effectively stop dust; while vacuum cleaners with HEPA (type/media) filters, water, or cyclones may filter more effectively than without, they may still exhaust millions of particles per cubic foot of air circulated. Central vacuum cleaners can be effective in removing dust, especially if they are exhausted directly to the outdoors.Air filtering appliances differ greatly in their effectiveness. Laser particle counters are an effective way to measure filter effectiveness, medical grade instruments can test for particles as small as 0.3 micrometers. In order to test for dust in the air, there are several options available. Pre weighted filter and matched weight filters made from polyvinyl chloride or mixed cellulose ester are suitable for respirable dust (less than 10 micrometers in diameter).A dust resistant surface is a state of prevention against dust contamination or damage, by a design or treatment of materials anditems in manufacturing or through a repair process. A reducedtacticity of a synthetic layer or covering can protect surfaces andrelease small molecules that could have remained attached. A panel,container or enclosure with seams may feature types of strengthenedrigidity or sealant to vulnerable edges and joins.题型难度分析难度较低，顺序类题型。

8月29日雅思听力考试真题预测版2015年8月29日雅思听力考试真题（预测版）听力原文：PAM: Hi Jun. As you know, I've asked you here today to discuss the future of our Self-Access Centre. We have to decide what we want to do about this very important resource for our English language students. So, can you tell me what the students think about this?JUN; Well, from the students' point of view, we would like to keep it. The majority of students say that they enjoy using it because it provides a variation on the classroom routine and they see it as a pretty major Q21 component of their course, but we would like to see some improvements to the equipment, particularly the computers; there aren't enough for one each at the moment and we always have to share.PAM: Well yes, the teachers agree that it is a very valuable resource but one thing we have noticed is that a lot of the students are using it to check their personal emails. We don't want to stop you students using it, but we Some of us also think that we could benefit a lot more by relocating the Q22 Self-Access Centre to the main University library building. How do you think the students would feel about that, Jun?JUN: Well, the library is big enough to incorporate the Self-Access Centre, but it wouldn't be like a class activity anymore. Our main worry would be not being Q23 able to go to a teacher for advice. I'm sure there would be plenty of things to do but we really need teachers to help us choose the best activities.PAM: Well, there would still be a teacher present and he or she would guide the activities of the students, we wouldn't justleave them to get on with it.JUN: Yes, but I think the students would be much happier keeping the existing set-up; they really like going to the Self-Access Centre with their teacher and staying together as a group to do activities. If we could just improve the resources and facilities, I think it would be fine. Is the cost going to be a problem?PAM: It's not so much the expense that I'm worried about, and we've certainly got room to do it, but it's the problem of timetabling a teacher to be in Q24 there outside class hours. If we're going to spend a lot of money on equipment and resources, we really need to make sure that everything is looked after properly. Anyway, let's make some notes to see just what needs doing to improve the Centre.1.Students want to keep the Self-Access Centre because[A] they enjoy the variety of equipment.[B] they like being able to work on their own.[C] It is an important part of their studies.2.Some teachers would prefer to[A] close the Self-Access Centre.[B] move the Self-Access Centre elsewhere.[C] restrict access to the Self-Access Centre.小君,嗯,从学生的角度看,我们想保持它。
