解析：[听力原文] People generally become happier and experience less worry after age fifty. The
findings came from a Gallup Survey of more than three hundred forty thousand adults in the United
States in two thousand and eight. At that time, the people were between the ages of eighteen and
eighty-five. Arthur Stone in the Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Science at Stony Brook University in New York led the study. His team found that levels of stress were highest among
adults between the ages of twenty-two and twenty-five. Stress levels dropped sharply after people reached their fifties. Happiness was highest among the youngest adults and those in their early seventies. But the people least likely to report feeling negative emotions were those in their
seventies and eighties. The survey also found that men and women have similar emotional patterns
as they grow older. However, women at all ages reported more sadness, stress and worry than men
did. The researchers also considered possible influences like having young children, being
unemployed or being single. But they found that influences like these did not affect the levels
of happiness and well-being related to age. So why would happiness increase with age? One theory
is that, as people get older, they become more thankful for what they have and have better control
of their emotions. They also spend less time thinking about bad experiences. Happiness is not
the only thing that apparently improves with age. Another study surveyed more than one hundred
and fifty thousand American adults. The original goal was to confirm the popular belief that aging
is connected with increased sleep problems. The survey did find an increase during middle age, especially in women. But except for that, people reported that they felt their sleep quality improved as they got older. Q: Which age group has the highest stress level in the Gallup Survey?
(2).
?A. Because older people become more thankful for what they have
?B. Because older people spend less time in deep thinking.
?C. Because older people forget things more frequently.
?D. Because older people tend to be more reliable.

解析：[听力原文] Green roofs are designed to save energy and capture rainwater. Rooftops covered with plants help keep buildings cool. They can extend the life of a roof. And they can reduce water runoff into streets and storm water systems. Several years ago, the mayor of Chicago, Illinois, visited Germany, a leader in green roof design. Mayor Richard Daley later decided to have vegetation planted on Chicago City Hall. Today, the tops of many other buildings also look like parks. In Canada, the Coast Plaza Hotel in Vancouver has a forest on its roof. Experts say green roofs usually do not get much above twenty-seven degrees Celsius. So temperatures might weight
much too put to not careful be to have gardeners rooftop But growing. for problem a be not
on the roof. This is true whether plants are grown in soil or water. New York City has an unusual demonstration farm. The farm is on a boat called the Science Barge. Rainwater and purified river
water are used to grow tomatoes, cucumbers and peppers. The farm shows the possibilities for
designing rooftop systems. Earlier this year, researchers in Texas reported that green roofs can
reduce a building's air conditioning costs by about one-fifth compared to black-top roofs. But
they also reported that not all green roofs perform equally well. They found that designs differ
in their ability to keep buildings cool and to capture rainwater. The presence of native plants
likely helped all the green roofs capture water better compared to sedums. Sedums are plants that
need little water and often are used on green roofs. The native plants could take in more water
and release more of it to the atmosphere. Q: What might be a problem for growing rooftop plants? (2).
?A. They are normally painted green.
?B. They shorten the life of houses.
?C. They reduce energy consumption.
?D. They are used as water tanks.

(1).Compliments are so good that they can heal your ______ (2 words).（分数：1.00）
）harmed relationship（正确答案：1:__________________ 填空项．
解析：[听力原文] I'm here to talk to you about how to compliment people. Knowing how to give compliments is a great skill that can improve your social skills. More importantly, giving compliments to others shows your admiration for them. Many great relationships were built by
someone who knew how to give compliments. Compliments are so good that they can heal your harmed relationship. You first, of course, want to think about sincerity. Giving someone a compliment
is a great way to show respect and admiration for another person. If you're going to give a compliment, make it sincere. You can throw out a hundred compliments during a conversation, but
unless you seem sincere when you say them, you're not going to get a good response from that person. Give compliments from the heart. Don't fake it, don't fake admiration. Second, be specific. For example, Your dinner was really good. You can actually go more specific than that, This steak
was really well cooked. Thank you, or Smells really good. Actually, after that, you want to
follow that with an action. If you said it was good, eat it. Don't just leave it there. This is
going to show that you were faking it. Also, it's good to say it in front of people. If you're meeting somebody, you may want to add and this was my really great cook that I was talking to
you about. Adding those compliments makes people respected and feel really good about themselves. Last, avoid confusing compliments with envy. It will be really awkward if somebody feels that
you're telling it just because you feel envy about it. So just avoid saying that you'd like to
have the same of those. Just a little tip: always remember to compliment your loved one once a
day. This is the end of Listening Comprehension.

An ecosystem is defined as an ecological community together with its environment, functioning as a unit. To be more {{U}} {{U}} 1 {{/U}} {{/U}}, an ecosystem is a complex set of relationships among the living resources, {{U}} {{U}} 2 {{/U}} {{/U}}, and residents of an area, composed of organisms that work together to remain healthy {{U}} {{U}} 3 {{/U}} {{/U}}energy is exchanged and system-level processes emerge. The ecosystem serves as the level of biological organization in which organisms {{U}} {{U}} 4 {{/U}} {{/U}}simultaneously with each other and with their environment. As such, ecosystems are a level above that of the ecological community but are at a level below the {{U}} {{U}} 5 {{/U}} {{/U}}, which is essentially the largest of all possible ecosystems. The thing about ecosystems is that they are {{U}} {{U}} 6 {{/U}} {{/U}}fragile and intensely complicated. If you influence the smallest variable, then it changes the {{U}} {{U}} 7 {{/U}} {{/U}}. This is why global warming is such a big issue, {{U}} {{U}} 8 {{/U}} {{/U}}whether we created it or not.

更合适。

C.

（分数：1.00）
A.
B.
C.
D. √
解析：[解析] in case：以防；if only：但愿；but for：如果不是由于……，除……之外；So that：结果，目的是。其中if only往往不需主句，而but for是介词，不能直接接句子，两者均可排除。考虑前后句的关系，So that是正确的。

A.
B. √
C.

解析：[解析] 首先从结构上可排除time和willingness，理由是“有时间做”或“愿意做”需要接不定式，不可能是
of doing的结构。此外，对于人类来说，特别是未来的几代人，“目睹这些可爱的野生动物”应该是种享受，不可能是
trouble。

说明今非昔比，表达了一种无奈。

Researchers may have found a solution to the annoying gender-wage gap: Tell all the male CEOs to have more babies. And only child daughters, to be precise.
A new, not-yet-published study that tracked 12 years of wage data in Denmark finds that when male CEOs had daughters, their female employees' wages went up 1.3 percent while their male employees only gained 0.8 percent raises. The study's authors-from Aalborg University in Denmark, the University of Maryland, and Columbia found that women's wages were boosted even more if the daughter was the first child of the CEO. The researchers found that the birth of a first daughter to a male CEO
esulted in a 1.4 percent increase in women's wages, and an approximately 0.8 percent decrease in the gender wage gap. If the first daughter was also a first child, the gender wage gap decreased by roughly 2.8 percent. If a second daughter was born to a male CEO, women's wages were not significantly affected. Thus, our results suggest that the first daughter 'flips a switch' in the mind of a male CEO, causing him to attend more to equality in gender-related wage policies, they write.
David Gaddis Ross, co-author of the study and an assistant professor at Columbia's Business School, said he would love to do a similar study in the United States, but there is no way the data would be available. Getting this information in the United States would be wildly difficult, especially on the family structure of the CEOs, he said. The Denmark data did not reveal names of individuals or companies, but each employee of every company in the country is attached to a code that researchers could use to find gender, number of children, salary, and other information such as home address and phone number.
The study is not the first to examine how having a daughter affects men's
decision-making. Ebonya Washington wrote in a study published in the American Economic Review in 2008 that U.S. legislators were more likely to vote more liberally on women's reproductive issues if they had daughters. Another study found that parents with daughters were more likely to adopt feminist views on gender equality.（分数：6.00）

十一、{{B}}Passage Two{{/B}}(总题数：1，分数：6.00)
Virtually nobody has memories from very early childhood-but it's not because we don't retain information as young children. Rather, it may be because at that age, our brains don't yet function in a way that bundles information into the complex neural patterns that we know as memories. It's clear that young children do remember facts in the moment-such as who their parents are, or that one must say please before morn will give you candy. This is called semantic memory.
Until sometime between the ages two and four, however, children lack episodic memory - memory regarding the details of a specific event. Such
memories are stored in several parts of the brain's surface, or cortex. For example, memory of sound is processed in the auditory cortexes, on the sides of the brain, while visual memory is managed by the visual cortex,
at the back. A region of the brain called the hippocampus (海马体) ties all the scattered pieces together.
If you think of your cortex as a flower bed, there are flowers all across the top of your head, said Patricia Bauer of Emory University in Atlanta. The hippocampus, tucked very neatly in the middle of your brain, is responsible for pulling those all together and tying them in a bouquet between
linkages of pattern neural bouquet-the the is memory The . ) 花束(
the parts of the brain where a memory is stored.
So why do kids usually fail to record specific episodes until the
two-to-four age range? It may be because that's when the hippocampus starts tying fragments of information together, said psychologist Nora Newcombe of Temple University in Philadelphia. And there may be a reason for this, Newcombe said. Episodic memory may be unnecessarily complex at a time when a child is just learning how the world works. I think the primary goal of the first two years is to acquire semantic knowledge and from that point of view, episodic memory might actually be a distraction, Newcombe said.（分数：6.00）

解析：[解析] 第二段说很小的孩子也会记得一些基本的事实，比如说他们的父母是谁，妈妈给糖吃之前要说“请”。这
些都属于“语义记忆”。说明幼儿也有记住事实的能力。
(2).Which of the following is an example of episodic memory?
?A. Brides remember what happened on their weddings.
?B. Little kids remember their parents' names.
?C. We remember to wash hands before meals.
?D. We remember to say Thank you for others' help.
