Section B
听力原文：In 1939 two brothers, Mac and Dick McDonald, started a drive-in restaurant in San Bernadino, California. They carefully chose a busy corner for their location. They had run their own businesses for years, first a theatre, then a barbecue(烤肉) restaurant, and then another drive-in. But in their new operation, they offered a new, shortened menu: French fries, hamburgers, and sodas. To this small selection they added one new concept: quick service, no waiters or waitresses, and no tips. Their hamburgers sold for fifteen cents. Cheese was another four cents. Their French fries and hamburgers had a remarkable uniformity, for the brothers had developed a strict routine for the preparation of their food, and they insisted on their
cooks’sticking to their routine. Their new drive-in became incredibly popular, particularly for lunch. People drove up by the hundreds during the busy noontime. The self-service restaurant was so popular that the brothers had allowed ten copies of their restaurant to be opened. They were content with this modest success until they met Ray Kroc. Kroc was a salesman who met the McDonald brothers in 1954, when he was selling milk shake-mixing machines. He quickly saw the unique appeal of the brothers’fast-food restaurants and bought the right to franchise(特许经营) other copies of their restaurants. The agreement struck included the right to duplicate the menu. The equipment, even their red and white buildings with the golden arches(拱门). Today McDonald’s is really a household name. Its names for its sandwiches have come to mean hamburger in the decades since the day Ray Kroc watched people rush up to order fifteen-cent hamburgers. In 1976, McDonald’s had over $1 billion in total sales. Its first twenty-two years is one of the most incredible success stories in modern American business history. Questions 9 to 12 are based on the passage you have just heard.9. Which business did Mac and Dick McDonald not run?10. What is offered in the new menu?11. How much should we pay for a hamburger and one cheese?12. What is the main idea of this passage?

听力原文：Illegal drugs are produced on farms, in laboratories, and in backyards all across the world. Although millions of dollars worth of drugs are produced within our country, millions more also come from other countries on boats, planes and in drug smugglers’suitcases. Colombia is the source of most of the cocaine and heroin used in the U.S. Drugs, and cocaine are the most widely trafficked drugs worldwide. Before Colombia became our leading supplier, farms in other South American countries grew acres and acres of coca plants, the raw material from which cocaine is made. The U.S. worked with the government of Peru and Bolivia to reduce the drug supply, spraying plant-killing chemicals on acres of drug plantations and paying farmers to grow other crops instead. Coca production was cut in half. The problem is, much of the drug production simply moved from those countries into neighbouring Colombia. The U.S. government is spending $1.3 billion on a detailed Long-Term Anti-Drug plan that helps the Colombian government get rid of its coca farms. However, Colombian farmers—most of whom are very poor and have few other opportunities for employment—say coca brings in the most money and they are unsure the Colombian government will keep its promises to help make other crops just as profitable. Questions 13 to 15 are based on the passage you have just heard.13. Where is the leading cocaine and heroin supplier?14. How does the U.S. government solve the problem?15. Why Colombian farmers chose to grow coca?
14．
A．Colombia.
B．Peru.
C．Bolivia.
D．Vietnam.
正确答案：A
解析：细节题。

根据文中的“Colombia is the source of most of the cocaine and heroin used in the U．S．Drugs”和“Before Colombia became our leading supplier”，可知答案选A。

15．
A．Pay farmers to plant other crops.
B．Forbid farmers to grow coca.
C．Punish those farmers who run drug business.
D．Tell farmers the harmful effect.
正确答案：A
解析：细节题。

文中列举了两个解决措施，“spraying plant-killing chemicals on acres of drug plantations”与“paying farmers to grow other crops”．前者为在毒品种植园中喷药，后者为给农民付钱种植其他农作物。

所以答案是A。

16．
A．Because the U.S. government encourages them to do so.
B．Because they are driven by others.
C．Coca is popular in Colombia.
D．Because they can make more money from growing coca.
正确答案：D
解析：推断题。

最后一段，“Colombian farmers say coca brings in the most money and they are unsure the Colombian government will keep its promise to help make other crops just as profitable．”哥伦比亚的农民认为种植coca可以带来可观的收入，他们不能保证政府会履行“种植其他农作物也能同样有利润”的承诺。

所以选D。

Section C
听力原文：In the 18th century French economists protested the excessive regulation of business by the government. Their belief was laisser faire. Laisser faire means let the people do as they choose. In the economic sense, this meant that while the government should be responsible for things like maintaining peace and protecting property fights, it should not interfere with private business. It shouldn’t create regulations that might hinder business growth, nor should it be responsible for providing subsidies to help. In other words, governments should take hands off approach to business. For a while in the United States, laisser faire was a popular doctrine. But things quickly changed. After the Civil War, politicians rarely opposed the government’s generous support of business owners. They were only too glad to support government land grants and loans to railroad owners for example. Their regulations kept tariffs high and that helped protect American industrialists against foreign competition. Ironically in the late 19th century, a lot of people believed that the laisser faire policy was responsible for the countries industrial growth. It was generally assumed that because business owners did not have a lot of external restrictions placed on them by the government, they could pursue their own interests, and this was what made them so successful. But in fact, many of these individuals would not have been able to meet their objective if not for government support. Now listen to the following recording and answer questions 16 to 18.16. What is the talk mainly about?17. Who first used the motto laisser faire?18. What is the principle idea
of the laisser faire policy?
17．
A．Competition in business.
B．Government grants.
C．A type of economic policy.
D．International transportation practices.
正确答案：C
解析：主旨题。

根据演讲中的economists，In the economic sense，laisser faire was a popular doctrine，laisser faire policy可知，演讲主要说的是laisser faire(自由放任)这一经济政策。

因此，正确答案为C。

18．
A．American industrialists.
B．French economists.
C．International leaders.
D．Civil War veterans.
正确答案：B
解析：细节题。

根据French economists protested the excessive regulation of business by the government．Their belief was laisser faire．可知，第一个运用这一座右铭的是法国经济学家。

因此，正确答案为B。

19．
A．The rights of private business owners should be protected.
B．The government shouldn’t interfere in private business.
C．Politicians should support industrial growth.
D．Competition among companies should be restricted.
正确答案：B
解析：细节题。

根据In the economic sense，this meant that while the government should be responsible for things like maintaining peace and protecting property fights，it should not interfere with private business．可知，laisser faire政策的基本思想是政府不应该干涉私营企业。

因此，正确答案为B。

听力原文：Let’s begin today by discussing enzymes. Enzymes are what make many of the body’ s biochemical reactions pos sible. Actually biochemical reactions can take place without them, but at much lower rates. In fact an enzyme may cause a reaction to proceed billions of times faster than it would otherwise. Before I go on to the biochemical specifics of how this works, let me provide a figurative example. I think it will help illustrate the power of enzymes more clearly. Now, suppose you got a bag and you put a bunch of locks in it. Then you put in all the keys that go with the locks. And you closed the bag and shook it hard. No matter how long you shook, chances are very small that any key would get inserted in any of the locks. But if you
took them all out of the bag and this time used your hands to insert the keys in the locks, you could combine them much quicker.Enzymes act like your hands, quickly allowing chemical reactions that would otherwise take much longer. Now, there are two reasons that enzymes are so effective at enabling biochemical reactions. First enzymes greatly reduce the amount of energy required to start the reactions, and with less energy needed the reactions can proceed a lot faster than they could without the enzyme. The second reason is that on a small amount of an enzyme is needed to enable the biochemical reaction. That’s because the chemical structure of the enzyme itself does not become altered as if enables the reaction. So a single enzyme can be used to start the same biochemical reaction over and over again. Now listen to the following recording and answer questions 19 to 21.19. What point does the professor make about an enzyme when it is involved in a biochemical reaction?20. What do enzymes do to help start a biochemical reaction?21. Why does the professor talk about locks and keys?
20．
A．It divides into two different parts.
B．It keeps the same chemical structure.
C．It becomes part of a new chemical compound.
D．It produces more of the enzyme(酶).
正确答案：B
解析：细节题。

根据讲座内容及结尾的That’s because the chemical structure of the enzyme itself does not become altered as if enables the reaction．So a single enzyme can be used to start the same biochemical reaction over and over again．可知，教授指出酶在生化反应中保持不变的化学结构。

因此，正确答案为B。

21．
A．Provide extra energy to start the reaction.
B．Raise the temperature of the chemicals.
C．Release a chemical needed to start the reaction.
D．Lower the amount of energy needed to start the reaction.
正确答案：D
解析：细节题。

根据Now，there are two reasons that enzymes are so effective at enabling biochemical reactions．First enzymes greatly reduce the amount of energy required to start the reactions可知，酶通过较少能量帮助开启生化反应。

因此，正确答案为D。

22．
A．To show that enzymes are very effective.
B．To point out that enzymes can sometimes fail to work.
C．To explain what enzymes are made of.
D．To describe different types of enzymes.
正确答案：A
解析：细节题。

根据Enzymes act like your hands，quickly allowing chemical reactions that would otherwise take much longer．Now，there are two reasons that enzymes are so effective at enabling biochemical reactions．可知，教授提及锁和钥匙主要是为了表明酶很有效。

因此，正确答案为A。

听力原文：Today I’d like to talk about the sculptor Henry Moore, in particular the ideas his work is based on, and also how he viewed the medium of sculpture. Moore said that to appreciate sculpture a person needs to respond to form in all of its three dimensions. He believed that this is more difficult than responding to art that is done on a flat surface, a surface such as canvas that has only two dimensions. For example, when you’re looking at a painting you don’t have to walk around it. You don’t relate to form and shape in the same way you do when looking a sculpture. Moore paid great attention to shapes in nature such as that of bones and shells and stones. He thought that if you could appreciate the shape of something simple, like a stone then you could go on to appreciate more complex forms. He noticed that many of the stones he picked up had holes in them. One distinctive feature of Moore’ s sculpture is his use of holes or opening to emphasize that he is indeed working in a three-dimensional medium. He believed that the shape of hole itself could have much meaning as that of solid mass, and could even help create a sense of mass or volume. Moore was also interested in representing the human figure, which he sculpted in such materials as bronze, stone, and wood. His sculptures of humans contained one person as in the work reclining figure or several people as in the sculpture family group. Now listen to the following recording and answer questions 22 to 25.22. What is the talk mainly about?23. According to Henry Moore, why is sculpture more difficult to appreciate than other forms of art?24. Why does the professor mention bones and shells?25. What is one well-known feature of Henry Moore’ s sculptures?
23．
A．The relationship between painting and sculpture.
B．The ideas behind an artist’ s work.
C．The practical value of a work of art.
D．The way the eye perceives shape in sculpture.
正确答案：B
解析：主旨题。

根据Today I’d like to talk about the sculptor Henry Moore，in particular the ideas his work is based on…可知，讲座主要关于艺术家作品背后的想法或创意。

因此，正确答案为B。

24．
A．It is often displayed outdoors.
B．It does not always represent an object.
C．It is three-dimensional.
D．It is done by relatively few artists.
正确答案：C
解析：细节题。

根据Moore said that to appreciate sculpture a person needs to respond to form in all of its three dimensions．He believed that this is more difficult than responding to art that is done on a flat surface可知，亨利-摩尔认为欣赏雕塑比欣赏其他艺术形式更困难，是因为雕塑是三维的。

因此，正确答案为C。

25．
A．To give an example of natural shapes.
B．To describe early sculpture.
C．To illustrate their use as tools.
D．To demonstrate their role as decorative objects.
正确答案：A
解析：细节题。

因此，正确答案为A。

26．
A．They are always made of stone.
B．They are painted in bright colors.
C．They contain moving parts.
D．They make use of holes.
正确答案：D
解析：细节题。

根据One distinctive feature of Moore’s sculpture is his use of holes or opening to emphasize that he is indeed working in a three-dimensional medium．可知，亨利-摩尔雕塑显著的特点是它们利用了孔。

Section B
Sugar—Friend VS EnemyA) Sugar is everywhere. It’s in our drinks, it’s in our foods, and it’s hidden in places we never would think of. Many would call sugar their friend in time of need, but in fact their so-called “good friend” could turn out to be their worst enemy in disguise. Sugar for many is something they may have been battling with for a long time. Here’ s a simple three-step process to help you start to win back the battle for your health.B) The first step is to be aware of what sugar really does to your body. Most people will say they “know” that they shouldn’t have sugar, but they really can’t help it. To me that is a lack of true awareness of what sugar does to oneself. I don’t think many people will say that they want to hurt their body on purpose, but unless they know it’ s really happening they will continue down that road. Sugar is slower to impact our health, and it’s that slow destructive process that is the most dangerous. Unfortunately, most people don’t know the damage until it has already been done.C) Sugar increases fat storing. Possibly the most important hormone in the body is insulin(胰岛素) ,when it comes to weight loss and health. Insulin is the main hormone that we have full control over daily through our diet and lifestyle. When we eat sugar and it enters into our bloodstream too quickly, we have a spike in blood sugar levels. Now in times of high activity we are able to burn it off, but if we are sitting around this is not a good thing. So in response to that high level of blood sugar, the body will release more insulin into the bloodstream. Insulin will then take the excess glucose(葡萄糖) and try to find a place to store it. If your muscles are all full or have insulin resistance then the best place to put the excess glucose is fat cells.
