Each statement contains information given in one of the paragraphs. Identify the paragraph from which the information is derived. You may choose a paragraph more than once. Each paragraph is marked with a letter. Answer the questions by marking the correspondingletter on Answer Sheet 2.The Curious Case of the Tree That Owns ItselfA) In the city of Athens, Georgia, there exists a rather curious local landmark—a large white oak that is almost universally stated to own itself. Because of this, it is considered one of the most famous trees in the world. So how did this tree come to own itself and the land around it?B) Sometime in the 19th century a Georgian called Colonel William Jackson reportedly took a liking to the said tree and endeavored to protect it from any danger. As to why he loved it so, the earliest documented account of this story is an anonymously written front page article in the Athens Weekly Banner published on August 12, 1890. It states, “Col. Jackson had watched the tree grow from his childhood, and grew to love it almost as he would a human. Its luxuriant leaves and sturdy limbs had often protected him from the heavy rains,and out of its highest branches he had many a time gotten the eggs of the feathered singers.He watched its growth, and when reaching a ripe old age he saw the tree standing in its magnificent proportions, he was pained to think that after his death it would fall into the hands of those who might destroy it.”C) Towards this end, Jackson transferred by means of a deed ownership of the tree and a little land around it to the tree itself. The deed read, “W. H. Jackson for and in consideration of the great affection which he bears the said tree, and his great desire to see it protected has conveyed unto the said oak tree entire possession of itself and of all land within eight feet of it on all sides.”D) In time, the tree came to be something of a tourist attraction, known as The Tree That Owns Itself. However, in the early 20th century, the tree started showing signs of its slow death,with little that could be done about it. Father time comes for us all eventually, even our often long lived, tall and leafy fellow custodians (看管者) of Earth. Finally, on October 9,1942, the over 30 meter tall and 200-400 year old tree fell, rumor has it, as a result of a severe windstorm and/or via having previously died and its roots rotted.E) About four years later, members of the Junior Ladies Garden Club (who’d tended to the tree before its unfortunate death) tracked down a small tree grown from a nut taken from the original tree. And so it was that on October 9, 1946, under the direction of Professor Roy Bowden of the College of Agriculture at the University of Georgia, this little tree was transplanted to the location of its ancestor. A couple of months later, an official ceremony was held featuring none other than the Mayor of Athens, Robert L McWhorter, to commemorate the occasion.F) This new tree became known as The Son of the Tree That Owns Itself and it was assumed that, as the original tree’s heir, it naturally inherited the land it stood on. Of course, there are many dozens of othertrees known to exist descending from the original, as people taking a nut from it to grow elsewhere was a certainty. Thatsaid, to date, none of the original tree’s other children have petitioned the courts for their share of the land, so it seems all good. In any event, The Son of the Tree That Owns Itself still stands today, though often referred to simply as The Tree That Owns Itself.G) This all brings us around to whether Jackson ever actually gave legal ownership of the tree to itself in the first place and whether such a deed is legally binding.H) Well, to begin with, it turns out Jackson only spent about three years of his life in Athens,starting at the age of 43 from 1829 to 1832, sort of dismissing the idea that he loved the tree from spending time under it as a child and watching it grow, and then worrying about what would happen to it after he died. Further, an extensive search of land ownership records in Athens does not seem to indicate Jackson ever owned the land the tree sits on.I) He did live on a lot of land directly next to it for those three years, but whether he owned that land or not isn’t clear. Whatever the case, in 1832 a four acre parcel, which included the land the tree was on and the neighboring land Jackson lived on, among others, was sold to University professor Malthus A Ward. In the transaction, Ward was required to pay Jackson a sum of $1,200 (about $31,000 today), either for the property itself or simply in compensation for improvements Jackson had made on the lot. In the end, whether he ever owned the neighboring lot or was simply allowed to use it while he allegedly worked at the University, he definitely never owned the lot the tree grew on, which is the most important bit for the topic at hand.J) After Professor Ward purchased the land, Jackson and his family purchased a 655 acre parcel a few miles away and moved there. Ten years later, in 1844, Jackson seemed to have come into financial difficulties and had his little plantation seized by the Clarke County Sheriff’s office and auctioned off to settle the mortgage. Thus, had he owned some land in Athens itself, including the land the tree sat on, presumably he would have sold it to raise funds or otherwise had it taken as well.K) And whatever the case there, Jackson would have known property taxes needed to be paid on the deeded land for the tree to be truly secure in its future. Yet no account or record indicates any trust or the like was set up to facilitate this.L) On top of all this, there is no hard evidence such a deed ever existed, despite the fact that deed records in Athens go back many decades before Jackson’s death in 1876 and that it was supposed to have existed in 1890 in the archives according to the original anonymous news reporter who claims to have seen it.M) As you might imagine from all of this, few give credit to this sideof the story. So how did all of this come about then?N) It is speculated to have been invented by the imagination of the said anonymous author at the Athens Weekly Banner in the aforementioned 1890 front page article titled “Deeded to Itself”, which by the way contained several elements that are much more easily proved to be false. As to why the author would do this, it’s speculated perhaps it was a 19th century version of a click-bait thought exercise on whether it would be legal for someone to deed such a non-conscious living thing to itself or not.O) Whatever the case, the next known instance of the Tree That Owns Itself being mentioned wasn’t until 1901 in the Centennial Edition of that same paper, the Athens Weekly Banner. This featured another account very clearly just copying the original article published about a decade before, only slightly reworded. The next account was in 1906, again in the Athens Weekly Banner, again very clearly copying the original account, only slightly reworded, the 19th century equivalent of re-posts when the audience has forgotten about the original.36. Jackson was said to have transferred his ownership of the oak tree to itself in order to protect it from being destroyed.37. No proof has been found from an extensive search that Jackson had ever owned the land where the oak tree grew.38. When it was raining heavily, Jackson often took shelter under a big tree that is said to own itself.39. There is no evidence that Jackson had made arrangements to pay property taxes for the land on which the oak tree sat.40. Professor Ward paid Jackson over one thousand dollars when purchasinga piece of land from him.41. It is said the tree that owned itself fell in a heavy windstorm.42. The story of the oak tree is suspected to have been invented as a thought exercise.43. Jackson’s little plantation was auctioned off to settle his debt in the mid-19th century.44. An official ceremony was held to celebrate the transplanting of a small tree to where its ancestor had stood.45. The story of the Tree That Owns Itself appeared in the local paper several times, with slight alterations in wording.Section CDirections:There are 2 passages in this section. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A), B), C) and D). You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 2 with a single line through the centre.Passage OneQuestions 46 to 50 are based on the following passage.It is irrefutable that employees know the difference between right and wrong. So why don’t more employees intervene when they see someone exhibiting at-risk behavior in the workplace?There are a number of factors that influence whether people intervene. First, they need to be able to see a risky situation beginning to unfold. Second, the company’s culture needs to make them feel safe to speak up. And third, they need to have the communication skills to say something effectively.This is not strictly a workplace problem; it’s a growing problem off the job too. Every day people witness things on the street and choose to stand idly by. This is known as the bystander effect—the more people who witness an event, the less likely anyone in that group is to help the victim. The psychology behind this is called diffusion of responsibility. Basically, the larger the crowd, the more people assume that someone else will take care of it—meaning no one effectively intervenes or acts in a moment of need.This crowd mentality is strong enough for people to evade their known responsibilities. But it’s not only frontline workers who don’t make safety interventions in the workplace. There are also instances where supervisors do not intervene either.When a group of employees sees unsafe behavior not being addressed at a leadership level it creates the precedent that this is how these situations should be addressed, thus defining the safety culture for everyone.Despite the fact that workers are encouraged to intervene when they observe unsafe operations, this happens less than half of the time. Fear is the ultimate factor in not intervening. There is a fear of penalty, a fear that they’ll have to do more work if they intervene. Unsuccessful attempts in the past are another strong contributing factor to why people don’t intervene—they tend to prefer to defer that action to someone else for all future situations.On many worksites, competent workers must be appointed. Part of their job is to intervene when workers perform a task without the proper equipment or if the conditions are unsafe. Competent workers are also required to stop work from continuing when there’s a danger.Supervisors also play a critical role. Even if a competent person isn’t required, supervisors need a broad set of skills to not only identify and alleviate workplace hazards but also build a safety climate within their team that supports intervening and open communication among them.Beyond competent workers and supervisors, it’s important to educate everyone within the organization that they are obliged to intervene ifthey witness a possible unsafe act, whether you’re a designated competent person, a supervisor or a frontline worker.46. What is one of the factors contributing to failure of intervention in face of risky behavior in the workplace?A) Slack supervision style.B) Unfavorable workplace culture.C) Unforeseeable risk.D) Blocked communication.47. What does the author mean by “diffusion of responsibility” (Line 4, Para. 3)?A) The more people are around, the more they need to worry about their personal safety.B) The more people who witness an event, the less likely anyone will venture to participate.C) The more people idling around on the street, the more likely they need taking care of.D) The more people are around, the less chance someone will step forward to intervene.48. What happens when unsafe behavior at the workplace is not addressed by the leaders?A) No one will intervene when they see similar behaviors.B) Everyone will see it as the easiest way to deal with crisis.C) Workers have to take extra caution executing their duties.D) Workers are left to take care of the emergency themselves.49. What is the ultimate reason workers won’t act when they see unsafe operations?A) Preference of deferring the action to others.B) Anticipation of leadership intervention.C) Fear of being isolated by coworkers.D) Fear of having to do more work.50. What is critical to ensuring workplace safety?A) Workers be trained to operate their equipment properly.B) Workers exhibiting at-risk behavior be strictly disciplined.C) Supervisors create a safety environment for timely intervention.D) Supervisors conduct effective communication with frontline workers.Passage TwoQuestions 51 to 55 are based on the following passage.The term “environmentalist” can mean different things. It used to refer to people trying to protect wildlife and natural ecosystems. In the 21st century, the term has evolved to capture the need to combat human-made climate change.The distinction between these two strands of environmentalism is thecause of a split within the scientific community about nuclear energy.On one side are purists who believe nuclear power isn’t worth the risk and the exclusive solution to the climate crisis is renewable energy. The opposing side agrees that renewables are crucial, but says society needs an amount of power available to meet consumers’ basic demands when the sun isn’t shining and the wind isn’t blowing. Nuclear energy, being far cleaner than oil, gas and coal, is a natural option, especially where hydroelectric capacity is limited.Leon Clarke, who helped author reports for the UN’s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, isn’t an uncritical supporter of nuclear energy, but says it’s a valuable option to have if we’re serious about reaching carbon neutrality.“Core to all of this is the degree to which you think we can actually meet climate goals with 100% renewables,” he said. “If you don’t believe we can do it, and you care about the climate, you are forced to think about something like nuclear.”The achievability of universal 100% renewability is similarly contentious. Cities such as Burlington, Vermont, have been “100% renewable” for years. But these cities often have small populations, occasionally still rely on fossil fuel energy and have significant renewable resources at their immediate disposal. Meanwhile, countries that manage to run off renewables typically do so thanks to extraordinary hydroelectric capabilities.Germany stands as the best case study for a large, industrialized country pushing into green energy. Chancellor Angela Merkel in 2011 announced Energiewende, an energy transition that would phase out nuclear and coal while phasing in renewables. Wind and solar power generation has increased over 400% since 2010, and renewables provided 46% of the country’s electricity in 2019.But progress has halted in recent years. The instability of renewables doesn’t just mean energy is often not produced at night, but also that solar and wind can overwhelm the grid during the day, forcing utilities to pay customers to use their electricity. Lagging grid infrastructure struggles to transport this overabundance of green energy from Germany’s north to its industrial south, meaning many factories still run on coal and gas. The political limit has also been reached in some places, with citizens meeting the construction of new wind turbines with loud protests.The result is that Germany’s greenhouse gas emissions have fallen by around 11.5% since 2010—slower than the EU average of 13.5%.51. What accounts for the divide within the scientific community about nuclear energy?A) Attention to combating human-made climate change.B) Emphasis on protecting wildlife and natural ecosystems.C) Evolution of the term ‘green energy’ over the last century.D) Adherence to different interpretations of environmentalism.52. What is the solution to energy shortage proposed by purists’opponents?A) Relying on renewables firmly and exclusively.B) Using fossil fuel and green energy alternately.C) Opting for nuclear energy when necessary.D) Limiting people’s non-basic consumption.53. What point does the author want to make with cities like Burlington as an example?A) It is controversial whether the goal of the whole world’s exclusive dependence on renewables is attainable.B) It is contentious whether cities with large populations have renewable resources at their immediate disposal.C) It is arguable whether cities that manage to run off renewables have sustainable hydroelectric capabilities.D) It is debatable whether traditional fossil fuel energy can be done away with entirely throughout the world.54. What do we learn about Germany regarding renewable energy?A) It has increased its wind and solar power generation four times over the last two decades.B) It represents a good example of a major industrialized country promoting green energy.C) It relies on renewable energy to generate more than half of its electricity.D) It has succeeded in reaching the goal of energy transition set by Merkel.55. What may be one of the reasons for Germany’s progress having halted in recent years?A) Its grid infrastructure’s capacity has fallen behind its development of green energy.B) Its overabundance of green energy has forced power plants to suspend operation during daytime.C) Its industrial south is used to running factories on conventional energy supplies.D) Its renewable energy supplies are unstable both at night and during the day.Part IV Translation (30 minutes)Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to translate a passage from Chinese into English.

How can it be just okay when last week you were thrilled about the place and kept posting photos of it online?W: (1) Well, last week when I moved in, the apartment seemed cozy, just the right size for one person. But now it just seems tiny, shabby and solitary.M: Ah, that’s the problem. You miss your roommates from university, don’t you?W:(2) I’m going to sound like an idiot, because I used to complain to you all the time about how crowded our dormitory room was, and about all the things they did to irritate me, like watching movies late at night without headphones, or talking loudly early in the morning. But now I miss them terribly. M: Of course, you do. That’s perfectly normal. (3) When I got my first place, I remember thinking I couldn’t wait to live by myself and get away from my juvenile roommates and all their annoying habits. But then I began missing them and feeling lonely and thinking that our dormitory was like paradise. Even though there were six of us guys in one small room.W: I thought it was just me who felt like that.M:Look, you lived at home with us, and then you had three roommates, and this is your first time living alone, so it’s hard. But your first apartment is a milestone in your life. And you should celebrate it. Tell me about the apartment.W: Actually, it’s not bad. In fact, it’s pretty adorable now that I have decorated it and it has everything I need. I have a kitchen to cook in and a bathroom all to myself, and then another room with my bed at one end and a sofa, a small table and chairs at the other end.M: That does sound adorable, and (4) I can’t wait to see it. And neither can mom and dad.Questions 1 to 4 are based on the conversation you have just heard.Q1. What was the woman’s first impression of the apartment? 答案: B)Q2. Why does the woman say she’s going to sound like an idiot? 答案: B)Q3. What do we learn about the man when he left the dormitory to live on his own? 答案: C)Q4. What does the man say he can’t wait to do? 答案: A)Conversation TwoW: Welcome to our program book talk. (5) Our guest today is Frank Jones, a critic of our education system and the author of a new book, How to Reform Our Universities.M: Hello, Susan.W: Frank, you support radically changing universities in America.M:Yes. (6) I believe that the purpose of higher education is to prepare young people to enter the workforce and that our current system fails to do this. We’re allocating too many resources to disciplines that don’t match the needs of employers.W:I think your attitude to education is a bit cynical, Frank. Surely the purpose of university is to prepare young people to participate fully in civic life rather than just to find well paid jobs.M: Susan, many young graduates struggle to find any job, let alone a good one. The job market is grim, particularly for students who study the arts.W:I agree that it isn’t easy for young people to find work, but you propose closing down all departments that aren’t directly related to science and technology. Is that really the solution?M: You’re overstating my point. (7) My argument is that we need to use more of our budget on areas like science and engineering. To do that, we need to take money from subjects like literature and music.W: (8) But the arts have value. They’re an important part of our culture. Studying literature or music or sculpture might not result in a job in that area, but it helps young people to think about the world in a deeper way, which makes them better citizens and makes for a better society.M: l agree that the arts are valuable to society, but it’s naive to think that not only the most talented, but all students should study them at university level. The odds are very competitive, and most graduates will end up with a great deal of debt obtaining a degree that has little value on the job market. Questions 5 to 8 are based on the conversation you have just heard.Q5. What do we learn from the conversation about the man? 答案: D)Q6. What does the man believe is the problem with the current American system of higher education? 答案: C)Q7. How should the education budget be allocated according to the man? 答案: A)Q8. What does the woman say the arts can do? 答案: D)Passage One(9) Do you ever have the annoying feeling that you don’t have time to really think anymore? You’re not alone. A variety of factors have conspired to rob us of time for reflection about ourselves and our lives. Today our preoccupied minds are rarely silent. The average person receives hundreds of texts and voice messages a day. And holidays for many of us are action packed weeks more likely full of family activities than opportunities for tranquility and contemplation.(10) Regular reflection, however, underlies all great professionals. It’s a prerequisite for you to recharge your mental batteries, see things in a new light and tap into your creativity. Almost all of the great advisors that I have studied have found ways to get away from it all and contemplate their life and work. Some researchers in the field of creativity, in fact, believe that insight occurs during the reflection and relaxation that follows a period of intense activity. Schedule your time for reflection about your work, or a particular project you’re engaged in.I usually block out half an hour. Don’t answer the phone. Push your papers to the side. Sketch, make lists, draw mind maps of ideas that come to you. At the end, write down any emerging ideas.When you’re alone, stop worrying and think. A lot of our downtime is spent worrying about troublesome things in our lives or fantasizing about how we’d like our lives to be. (11) Revisit things during moments of relaxation after a period of intense work. This is when we are the most creative. Questions 9 to 11 are based on the passage you have just heard.Q9. What do we learn about the feeling that one doesn’t have time to think anymore? 答案: A)Q10. What trait do all great professionals share? 答案: B)Q11. What do some researchers believe is conducive to creative ideas? 答案: D)Passage Two(12) Even before Colorado was a state, it had post offices. The first opened in 1859 in a settlement founded by migrants searching for gold. Life could be unpredictable out west. Gold failed to appear，drought ruined farmers, and settlers clashed with Native Americans.On the settlement’s location, now stands a sprawling university campus. Amid all the changes, one feature remained constant: the postal service. The maps tracing America’s westward expansion are telling. In 1864 there were few postal branches on land controlled by Native Americans, which still accounted for most of the West. Over the next 25 years, post offices grew quickly. Colonization of the West could be regarded as a result of big government rather than pioneers. (13) As federal subsidies and land grants tempted people into the deserts and plains, the post kept them connected.In the mid-19th century, the Post Office Department was far from a centralized bureaucracy. To keep up with migration patterns, postal services were added to existing businesses. (14) The federal government commissioned private wagons to carry the mail. Short-term contracts were granted to local businessmen to act as postmasters. These partnerships enabled the mail to quickly follow migrants, helping knit together remote parts of the country.Mr. Blevins, a digital historian, wrote a book on the history of the US postal service. (15) He used data science to analyze historical trends. Most strikingly, he built an accompanying website complete with interactive maps. They show readers how, within a generation, the postal service helped colonize a continent. These online interactive maps illustrate the formative power of snail mail.Questions 12 to 15 are based on the passage you have just heard.Q12. What does the passage say about Colorado before it became a state? 答案: C)Q13. How did the postal service contribute to America’s westward expansion? 答案: D)Q14. What did the federal government do to meet the increasing demand for the postal service in the West? 答案: B)Q15. What did Mr. Blevins do to study the history of the US postal service? 答案: C)Recording OneIn last week’s lecture, we discussed reasons why people forget things. This week, we will discuss a surprising reason why we might remember some things: anxiety. Think about something as simple as buying a coffee. That may not seem like an experience that would make a deep impression on your memory. But anxiety could change that. (16) In fact, a new study suggests that people with higher anxiety levels might remember certain information better than people with lower anxiety levels. That’s because higher levels of anxiety may make people more susceptible to negative feelings. Putting them in a more negative state of mind, that in turn, may make them able to better remember some events. Let’s take a closer look at that new study now. (17) In the study, the researchers started by giving 80 undergraduate students an anxiety test. The test measured the participants’anxiety levels over the proceeding two weeks.Then, to test memory, the participants were shown a series of neutral words one at a time. Some of the words were printed onto photos of negative scenes, meaning images that could affect their emotions negatively, such as a photo of a car accident, or a cemetery. The rest of the words were printed onto photos of neutral scenes, such as a photo of a lake or trees. Neutral words included words like table or desk that don’t elicit emotion.Later, the participants were asked to think back to the words they were shown earlier, which caused them to reenter either a negative or neutral mindset. The participants were then presented with another set of neutral words, and their memory of these new words was tested.The researchers found that the new words presented to people in a negative mindset were better remembered by people with higher levels of anxiety than those with lower levels of anxiety.In other words, when highly anxious individuals took in otherwise emotionally neutral information that was presented to them, it became colored by their negative mindset, making them remember the information better. But these same effects were not seen in people with low levels of anxiety.(18) Previous studies have found that extreme levels of anxiety such as those experienced by people diagnosed with an anxiety disorder can be quite detrimental to memory and cognitive performance. But the highly anxious people in this study represent individuals who are managing their anxiety and for whom anxiety is not a serious problem.Questions 16 to 18 are based on the recording you have just heard.Q16. What does the speaker say the new study suggests? 答案: A)Q17. What did researchers do first in the new study? 答案: C)Q18. What do we learn from previous studies about anxiety? 答案: B)Recording TwoOver the past 20 years, the internet has gradually become a dominant feature of our lives. It has changed how we communicate with each other. And it has definitely transformed the way we do business with each other. Marketing has also changed in a number of ways.For instance, in the past, consumers had to call a phone number and patiently wait on hold in order to get the information they wanted. (19) Today, they want the information immediately. They’ll go to the company’s social media page and post comments and questions, expecting to receive an immediate response. If they don’t get their questions answered soon, they’ll move on to another company that will answer them quickly.Marketing departments today need to follow technological development. For example, this year’s smartphone is smarter than last year’s; self-driving cars are now on the road. Marketers have to do research on which technologies are coming into being. Otherwise, they risk being left behind in the virtual dust.Marketing has also changed due to the importance of video. People don’t just want to read text; they want to watch things happening. Companies now have to explore how they can use video on a consistent basis to share information about their businesses. Fortunately, it’s extremely easy to shoot something these days. All you need is a smartphone.But what’s the result of all this? Shorter attention spans. We are n’t the same people that we were 20 years ago. Not only have we grown accustomed to getting the information we want instantaneously, our attention spans are much shorter. If something doesn’t capture our attention within a few seconds, we’re on to the next piece of content. (20) Marketers need to figure out ways to speak directly to the customer’s emotions, and they need to figure out how to do that as quickly as possible. Once people are emotionally engaged, they’ll stick with you.If marketing has changed this much in the past 20 years, imagine what the next 20 years will bring. In a recent survey, only nine percent of marketers could say with confidence that their marketing efforts were actually working. Their confidence is being shaken because the rules of the game change every year. That’s why (21) it’s important for marketers to pay attention to the latest technologicaldevelopments and consider collaborating with technological innovators. That way, they’ll be moving at the same pace as the tech industry.Questions 19 to 21 are based on the recording you have just heard.Q19. What does the speaker say about today’s consumers? 答案: D)Q20. How do marketers capture consumers’ attention as quickly as possible? 答案: C)Q21. What does the speaker suggest marketers do to meet future challenges? 答案: B)Recording ThreeYou might be surprised to learn that (22) the benefits of friendships extend beyond people’s social life and into their work, which is interesting when considering the extent to which people sacrifice friendships, or at least the time they spend with friends because of the extended hours they’re devoting to work. Just last week, I was remarking to a colleague that I’m content with only one social engagement per week. But according to recent research, that’s evidently not enough.(23) In an initial study of more than 700 respondents, scholars from an American university analyzed the impact that friends, as opposed to family, have on self-esteem and well-being. Friends came out substantially on top. That’s because to be someone’s mate is a voluntary act, unlike family who people rarely get to choose. The researchers found that when people choose to cultivate and maintain supportive friendships with an individual, it means that the person is valued and worthy of their limited time. Such sentiments of value and worthiness boost our self-esteem.The second study comprised more than 300 participants. It proved that the better we feel about ourselves, the more likely we will perform our job confidently and competently. (24) This follow-up study found that non-work friends even improved people’s job satisfaction. They have as much of an impact on how much they love their jobs, as do the friends they have at work, despite not actually being at our place of work. These types of friends tend to be our preferred outlet for venting about work-related matters. This is an avenue that may not be available at the office.So even though friendships can be easy to neglect when confronted by pressures at work, or even pressures at home, neglecting our friends can turn out to be harmful and counterproductive. That’s why when determining how to create a better work life balance, we need to consider not only how to balance work and family demands, but also how to cultivate and sustain supportive friendships. It’s for this reason that (25) managers should never discriminate when it comes to requests from employees for flexible work arrangements. It’s irrelevant whether their need for a desired schedule is due to, say, parenting responsibilities, or a craving to hang out with their best mate. What matters is the opportunity to engage in a nourishing activity outside of work. That will definitely have a follow-on effect at work. Questions 22 to 25 are based on the recording you have just heard.Q22. What does the speaker say is interesting? 答案: D)Q23. What did researchers from an American university analyze in their initial study? 答案: A)Q24. What did the second study find about non-work friends? 答案: D)Q25. What does the speaker suggest managers do? 答案: A)。

That may not seem like an experience that would make a deep impression onyour memory. But anxiety could change that. Q16.In fact, a new study suggests that people withhigher anxiety levels mightremembertertain information better than people with lower anxietylevels.That's because higher levels of anxiety may makepeople moresusceptible to negative feelings,putting them in a more negative state of mind. Thatin turn, may make them able to better remembersome events. Let's take a closer look at that newstudy now. Q17. In this study, tseardhersstarted by giving 80 undergraduate students ananxiety test. The test measure the participantsanxiety levels over the proceeding two weeks.Then, to test memory, the participants were showna series of neutral words one at a time. Some of thewords were printed onto photos of negative scenes,meaning images that could affect their emotionsnegatively, such as a photo of a car accident, or acemetery. The rest of the words were printed ontophotos of neutral scenes, such as a photo of a lakeor trees. Neutral words included words like table ordesk that don't elicit emotion.Later, the participants were asked to think back tothe words they were shown earlier, which causedthem to reenter either a negative or neutral mindset. The participants were then presented withanother set of neutral words, and their memory ofthese new words was tested.The researchers found that the new words presented to people in a negative mindset werebetter remembered by people with higher levels ofanxiety than those with lower levels of anxiety.In other words, when highly anxious individualstook in otherwise emotionallyneutral informationthat was presented to them, it became colored bytheir negative mindset, making them remember theinformation better. But these same effects were notseen in people with low levels of anxiety.Q18. Previous studies havefound that extremeevels of anxiety such as those experienced bypeople diagnosed with an anxiety disorder can bequite detrimentalto memory and cognitive performan But the highly anxious people in thisstudy represent individuals who are managing theiranxiety and for whom anxiety is not. a seriousproblem.Question 16. What does the speaker say the newstudy suggests?Question 17. What did researchers do first in thenew study?Question 18. What do we learn from previousstudies aboutlanxiety?Over the past 20 years, the u ternet hasgradually become a dominant featureof our lives. It has changed how wecommunicate with each other. And ithas definitely transformed the way wedo business with each other:Marketinghas also changed in a number of ways.For instance, in the past, consumershad to call a phone number and patiently wait on hold in order to getthe information they wanted.[Q19]Today, they want the informationimmediately. They'll go to the company's sociaLmediapdc nifostcomments and questions expecting toreceive an immediate response. If theydon't get their questions answeredsoon they'll move on to anothercompany that will answer themquickly.Marketing departments today need tofollow technological development.Forexample, this year smartphone issmarter than last years. s fariving cars are now on the road. Marketershave to do research on which techncingies:are coming into bsing,otherwise, they risk being leit behindin the virtual dust.Marketing has also changed due to theimportance of video. People don't justwant to read text. They walt to watchthings happening. Companies now have to explore how they can use videoon a consistent basis to share information about their sinesses.Fortunately, it's extremely easy toshoot something these days. All youneed is a smartphone.But what's the result of all this? Shorteraitention spans? We aren't the samepeople that we were 20 yedi ago. Notonly have we grown accustomed togetting the information we want instantaneously, our attention spansare much shorter. If something doesn'tcaptulc ourattention within a fewseconds. We're on to the next piece ofcontent.[Q20]Marketers need to figureout ways to speak directly to the customer's emotions and they need tofigure out how to do that as quickly aspossible. Once people are emotionallyengaged, they'll stick with you.If marketingi has changed this much inthe past 20 years, imagine what thenext 20 years will bring li ai recentsurvey, only 9% of marketers could saywith confidence that their marketingefforts were actually working. Theirconfidence is being shaken becausethe rules of the game change everyyear. That's why [Q21]it'simportant for marketers to pay attention to the latest technological devel and consider collaborating with technological innovators. That way,they'll be moving at the samepace asthe tech industry.Question 19 What does the speaker sayabout today's consumers?Question 20 How do marketers captureconsumers'attention as quickly aspossible?Question 21 What does the speakersuggest marketers do to meet futurechalletes?演讲3You might be surprised to learn that [Q22] thebenefits offriendships extend beyond people'ssociallifeand into their work, which is interestingwhen cd lili the extent to which peoplesacrifice friendships, or at least the time they spendwith friends because of the exte edihairsthey'redevoting to work. Just last week, rwas remarking toa colleague that I'm content with only one socialengagement per week. But according to recentresearch, that's evidently not enough.In an initial study of more than 700 respondents,scholars from an American university [Q23] analyzethe imrf thst:fiends as opposed to family haveon sel dem Jahd well-being. Friends came outsubstantially on top. That's because to be someone's mate is a voluntary act. Unlike familywho people rarely get to choose. The researchersfound that when people choose to cultivate andmaintain supportive friendships with an individual,it means that the person is valued and worthy oftheir limited time. Such sentiments of value andworthiness boost our self-esteem.The second study comprised more than 300 participants. It proved that the better we feel aboutourselves, the more likely we will perform our jobconfidently andcompetently. This follow-up studyfound that [Q24] non-work friends even improvedpeople's job satisfaction. They have as much of animpact on how much they love their jobs, as do thefriends they have at work, despite not actuallybeing at our place of work. These types of friendstend to be our preferred outlet fo nni aboutwork-related mattersyThis is an avenue that maynot be available at the office.So even though friendships can be easy to neglectwhen confronted-by pressures at work, or evenpressures at home, neglecting our friends can turnout to be harmful and counterproductive. That'swhy when determining how to create a better work-life balance, we need to consider not only how tobalance work and family demands, but also how tocultivate and sustain supportive friendships. It's for employees for flexible work arrangements. It'sirrelevant whether their need for a desired scheduleis due to say, parenting responsibilities, or a craving to hang out with their best mate. Whatmatters is the opportunity to engage in a nourishingactiyity outside of work. That will definitely have afollow-on effect at work.Q 22 What does the speaker say is interesting?Q 23 What did researchers from an Americanuniversity analyze in their initial study?Q 24 What did the second study find aboutmon-work friends?Q 25 What does the speaker suggest managers do?参考答案：1.A) She is drawn to its integration of design andengineering.2.D) Through hard work.3.C) It is long-lasting.4.A) Computer science.5.B) He is well known to the public.6.D) Serve as a personatassistant.7.D) He has little previous work experience.8.C) He has a high proficiency in several languages.9.A) They have fewer rules and pressures.10.D) They deprive kids of the opportunity todevelop team spirit.11.C) Let them participate in some less risky outdooractivities.12.B) Tech firms intentionally design products tohave short lifespans.13.C) List a repairability score of their product.14.D) Take the initintive to reduce electronic waste.15.A) It can be solved.16.B) How to prevent employees from cyberloafing.17.C) Cyberloafing may relieve employees of stress.18.A) Taking mini-breaks means better jobperfontance.19.D) There were no trees.20.B) He founded a newspaper and used it topromote his ideas.21.B) The state government declared it the officialArbor Day.22.B)They moved ou of Africa about 60,000 yearsago.23.D) The discovery of two modern human teeth inChina.24.A) There must have been some reason for humanmigration.25.D) What path modern humans took to migrateout of America. 听力第二套参考答案：作文：心理健康Mental well-being is regarded as a state of health where a person is able to address normal stresses in daily life. Recently,this state has been grasped as much attention as physical health.Obviously, there are several factors that affect people's mental well-being. Firstly, a strong contributor to mental well-being refers to the state of a person's usual environ-ment. Adverse environmental circumstances can lea negative effectson psychological wellness. Living in a positive social environment, in contrast, can provide protection against mental challenges. Secondly, people's lifestyle can also impact their mental health. Smoking, a poor diet, alcohol con-sumption, substance use, and risky sexual behavior may result in psychological harm. Smoking, a poor diet, alcohol consump-tion, substance use, and risky sexual behavior may result in psychological harm. Worse, such behaviors have been linked to depression.In conclusion, because mental health is so important to general wellness, it's important that you take care of your mental health. Talking therapy, meditation and maintaining a positive outlook on life all contribute to people mental health. With a positive mental state, all areas of life will go towards active de-velopment.友好的讨论When faced with differing opinions, we should try to reach agreement through friendly discussion and reasonable argu-ment. In our daily life, it is common to see college students struggling with a polite and logical way when their views differ from others'. Apparently, this issue has sparked public con-cerns.Friendly discussion allows individuals to share their perspec-tives and opinions in a respectful manner. This can lead to a better understanding of each other's viewpoints and poten-tially even finding common ground. In addition, reasonable ar-gument allows individuals to present evidence and logic to sup-port their position, which can help persuade others to see their point of view. However, it is important to note that not all disagreements can be resolved through discussionand argu-ment alone. In some cases, compromise may be necessary to reach a resolution that satisfies all parties involved.To sum up, friendly discussion and reasonable argument, to a large extent, are of great use. We should be open-minded and engaged in such practices.教育的目标Education has played an increasingly crucial role in modern so-ciety. We aim education on different levels at cultivating the to-be successors of our global village. One important goal that education is trying to achieve is help students master the ways to acquire knowledge.Of all the capabilities one can develop to acquire knowledge in being educated, three sorts are of the greatest significance.First of all, students who are receiving education definitely know that they are always ignorant of some branches in th eocean of knowledge, which can keep them modest and more willing to explore their unfamiliar realms, even deeper if they've already done so. Moreover, students can imitate what their teachers or professors do in or our of class and then gradually acquire the ability to undertake more scientific re-search and intellectual inquiries alone. Last but not least,youngsters who are accustomed to being educated at school or college are more likely to keep studying as a life-long habit,which will have a substantially positive effect on their own life and the future of the human world.In my perspective, education is one of the most marvelous social inventionsthat ever existed in human history. Without it, the whole globe can never continue developing further in a civilized and prosperous direction.星火英语版：听力部分（共2套）第一套1.B) It was warm and comfortable.2.B) She misses her roommates she used to complain about.3.C) He had a similar feeling to the woman's.4.A) Go to see the woman's apartment.5.D) He has published a book recently.6.C) It has not prepared young people for the job market.7.A) More of the budget should go to science and technology.8.D) Cultivate better citizens.9.

2022年6月英语六级考试真题第一套听力

2022年6月英语六级考试真题第一套听力全文共6篇示例，供读者参考篇1The Big Listening TestLast week, I had to take a really big listening test called the CET-6. It was super hard! My older brother is in college and he had to take it too. The whole test was in English and it was sooooo long. We had to listen to recordings and answer questions about them.The first part was easier because it was just short conversations between two people. Like one person asking for directions or ordering food at a restaurant. My English teacher helps us practice listening to those kinds of conversations in class. But then it got really tricky!In the second part, we had to listen to longer recordings and answer questions. There was a story about these scientists who went exploring in Antarctica. They had to camp out on the ice and everything! It was cool but also really hard to understand with all the big words they used.Then there was a lecture about how companies decide what new products to make. The professor used a lot of business vocabulary that I didn't know. I tried my best but I probably got a lot of those questions wrong. Oops!The third part was the toughest of all. It was like a roundtable discussion with a bunch of people talking about artificial intelligence and robots taking over human jobs one day. They were using such fancy language and debating back and forth. I could barely follow along at all!By the end, my brain felt like mush from having to concentrate so hard for hours and hours. I got a snack and took a nap on the bus ride home because I was so worn out. English tests can really make a kid tired!I'm not sure if I passed the CET-6 or not. Parts of it were wayyyy too advanced for a third grader like me. But I gave it my best effort and tried my hardest. Maybe one day when I'm older and have studied more English, it will be easier. For now though, whew, that was brutal! I'm just glad it's over!篇2The Big English TestLast month, I had to take a really important English test called the Level 6 exam. It was super hard, but I tried my best! The listening part was first, and there were all sorts of different recordings we had to listen to.The very first recording was about these two friends named Emily and Jack. Emily was inviting Jack over to her house to hang out. She said her parents were going out, so they would have the whole place to themselves! Jack seemed pretty excited about that.Then Emily started talking about this movie they both wanted to see. It was some new superhero flick that just came out. Emily said she could get tickets for the 7pm showing that night if Jack wanted to go. But Jack said he had other plans already for later in the evening.So Emily was like "Oh bummer, maybe we can go another time then?" And Jack said yeah, they could try for the next weekend or something. Emily seemed a bit disappointed, but she tried to hide it.After that, the recording switched to Emily talking to her mom about the movie. Her mom asked if she had invited anyone to join them. Emily fibbed a bit and said no, it was just going tobe the two of them. Her mom reminded her to keep the house clean if she was having friends over while they were gone.When the recording ended, we had to answer some multiple choice questions about what we just heard. Things like "What were Emily's initial plans for the evening?" and "What did Emily tell her mother about having friends over?" I tried my best to remember all the little details!The next recording was some reporters interviewing this famous scientist named Dr. Roberts. He had just gotten back from a big research expedition to the Amazon rainforest in South America. The reporters asked him all about what new plants and animals his team discovered out there.Dr. Roberts said they found several brand new species of frogs and insects that had never been seen before! He sounded really excited talking about it. The reporters wanted to know if the new species were endangered or not. Dr. Roberts said it was too early to tell, but that deforestation is a major threat to biodiversity in the Amazon.Then they asked about some ancient ruins the team supposedly uncovered deep in the jungle. But Dr. Roberts was very tight-lipped and didn't want to share much about that. Hejust said they would publish their full findings in an academic journal soon enough.There were more multiple choice questions after that one too. Like where specifically did the expedition take place, what new species were discovered, that kind of thing. I struggled a bit because there were so many specifics and scientific words to keep track of!The last recording for that set was an excerpt from some old-timey radio drama. It was two guys talking in these really exaggerated Brooklyn accents. One of them was trying to convince his friend to go out and see a boxing match with him that night.His friend was making all these excuses about why he couldn't go. Like his wife would get mad, he had to work the next morning, etc. But the other guy kept insisting and coming up with reasons why those excuses didn't matter. It was pretty funny and over-the-top how worked up they were both getting over just a boxing match!In the end, I think the friend finally gave in and agreed to go, just to get the other guy to stop bugging him about it. Those types of conversational dialogues between friends or familymembers were always the hardest ones for me to follow and understand.Overall, the listening section was crazy difficult. My ears were ringing by the end of it from concentrating so hard! I just tried to pick up on the key details and context clues as best as I could. Fingers crossed I did okay.There were still Reading, Writing, and Speaking sections to go after that too. But I'll save those for another story. The Level 6 was no joke! I celebrate just making it through in one piece. Now I gotta start prepping for next year's exam...篇3The Big English Test Adventure!Wow, I just had the craziest experience taking the listening part of the big English test for really smart people! It was kind of like going on an adventure through all these different places and situations. Let me tell you all about it!It started out pretty normal, just having to listen to some conversations between people. Like this guy trying to rent a car and the worker at the counter explaining the rules and fees. Orthese two friends deciding what restaurant to go to for lunch. Easy peasy lemon squeezy!But then it got way more exciting! We heard all about this explorer dude who went on an expedition to some far away jungle. He talked about the crazy plants and animals he saw, like these huge butterflies and screeching monkeys. He even had a run-in with a hungry jaguar! I was on the edge of my seat imagining being there in that hot, sweaty rainforest.After that jungle journey, we got to listen to a lecture all about tornadoes. The professor lady explained how they form, the different categories, and what safety steps to take if one strikes. She played these intense video clips of monster twisters tearing up houses and trucks! I actually got a little scared thinking those could hit my neighborhood. Yikes!The wildest part was definitelythe discussion about this new movie that just came out about aliens invading the earth. The two people describing it made it sound so crazy andaction-packed! They talked about the massive spaceships blasting laser beams, the military fighters trying to fight back, and these gross blob monsters oozing around and attacking people. I'm not gonna lie, it kinda freaked me out a little bit! But in a fun, just-pretending kind of way.We also heard about historical stuff, like how the French Revolution started and this famous lady scientist who discovered radium. And there was a conversation about environmental issues like pollution, recycling, and climate change. I feel like I learned a ton just from all the listening!By the end, my brain was spinning from visiting all those places and learning about so many interesting topics. From renting cars and eating lunch, to explorers, tornadoes, alien invasions, revolutionaries, scientists, and saving the planet - what an adventure! This listening exam sure wasn't boring.I really hope I did well and got most of those crazy details correct. Either way, having my imagination sparked by all those cool situations and stories was the best part. I can't wait for more exciting adventures learning English!篇4The Big English Listening TestLast month, I had to take a really important English listening test called the College English Test Band 6. It was super hard, but I tried my best! I'll tell you all about it.First, we had to listen to some conversations between people. The conversations were about everyday things like shopping, travel plans, and work issues. We had to listen carefully and answer multiple choice questions about the details and main ideas.One conversation was between two friends deciding where to go for vacation. The guy wanted to go camping, but the girl didn't like the idea of sleeping outside with bugs and wild animals around. In the end, they agreed to go to a beach resort instead. Another conversation was about a woman complaining that her new blender wasn't working properly after just a few uses. The customer service person tried to help her troubleshoot the problem over the phone.After the conversations, we listened to some longer lectures and talks. The first one was a professor giving a lecture about the history of mathematics. He talked about how different civilizations like the Greeks, Indians, and Arabs contributed to the development of math concepts we still use today. It was pretty interesting, but also kind of confusing with all the dates and names he mentioned.The next lecture was my favorite part - it was about dinosaurs! The professor discussed the latest fossil discoveriesand theories about why dinosaurs went extinct. I loved learning about the huge meat-eating theropod dinosaurs like T-Rex and Spinosaurus. They sounded so cool and ferocious. The lecture also talked about dinosaur behavior, like how some species might have traveled in herds for protection while others were solo hunters.Then we had to listen to a radio interview with a children's book author. She talked about what inspired her to start writing stories and how her own childhood experiences shaped her writing. She gave tips for young aspiring writers too, like keeping a journal about your day-to-day life because those everyday moments can turn into great story ideas later. I really paid close attention during this part because I want to be an author myself one day!After the interview, we heard a news report about plastic pollution in the oceans. It described how things like plastic bags, bottles, and packaging end up in the water and are very harmful to marine life. The reporter said seafood was being contaminated by toxic chemicals from the plastic too. He interviewed a marine biologist who urged people to reduce, reuse, and recycle plastics as much as possible. Plastics last for areally, really long time before they break down, so we have to be very careful about how we dispose of them.The last part was a long academic lecture about the psychology of dreams and sleep. The professor explained the different stages of sleep like light sleep, deep sleep, and rapid eye movement (REM) sleep which is when we have really vivid dreams. She said that dreams could help reinforce our memories or might just be the brain's way of getting rid of useless clutter. Nobody really knows for sure! The lecture also talked about things that affect our sleep like drinking coffee and using electronic devices before bedtime.Phew, it was a lot to listen to! I did my best to concentrate, but some parts were pretty tricky to understand. Since the test was all in English, there were definitely some words and phrases I wasn't familiar with. But overall, I feel like I learned some cool new things by listening to all the different topics.After each listening passage, we had to answer multiple choice and short answer questions to test our comprehension. Like I said, it was really challenging. I had to listen super carefully to catch the important details and main ideas. I think I did okay on the conversational listening parts, but the lectures with all those unfamiliar academic words were really tough.I just hope I did well enough to pass this big important test. Listening comprehension in English is one of the hardest skills for me. But I'll keep studying and practicing because English is such an awesome language to know. Maybe I'll sign up for some fun English summer camps to get even better at listening and speaking over the break!So that's what the crazy College English Test Band 6 listening section was like for me. It pushed my brain to the limit, but at least I learned some interesting new knowledge along the way. I'll find out my score in a few weeks - wish me luck! Now I just want to relax and not have to worry about any more big tests for a while.篇5The First Listening Passage on the Big TestHi! My name is Timmy and I'm going to tell you all about the first listening passage on the big English test I had to take last year called the CET 6. It was in June 2022 and I was really nervous!The first passage was about these scientists who study apes like gorillas and chimpanzees. It was kind of boring at first because the lady was just talking about how scientists observeape behavior by watching them for a long time in the wild. But then it got really interesting!She started explaining how scientists have found that apes are actually way smarter than we thought. Like, they can use tools and solve problems and communicate with each other in complex ways. Some apes even have cultural traditions that get passed down, just like humans!The wildest part was when she said some apes can do math and count better than kids my age! She talked about this one super smart ape named Ayumu who could memorize numbers flashing on a screen faster than human adults. I don't know if I believe an ape is smarter than me at math, but it's still pretty cool.There were also examples of apes showing emotions like sadness when friends died, and cooperating together on tasks by having roles. The lady said this proved apes have higher intelligence and self-awareness, almost like humans. I felt bad for all the times I called my little brother an "ape" for acting silly!After listening to all the amazing ape facts, the test asked some questions to see if you understood. I had to say if statements were true based on the details mentioned, like "Apes display cultural behaviors that are passed down" (true). Therewas also a note-taking question where I wrote down the ape's name, Ayumu, and what special skill he had (amazing memory for numbers).Some of the questions were hard and asked to summarize the main point, which was tough since there were so many interesting examples packed into the passage. I wrote that the main idea was how scientific studies have shown apes to be highly intelligent creatures with human-like abilities. Hopefully I got that one right!Overall, while it started a bit dull, the first listening on apes ended up being my favorite part of the test. I'll never look at monkeys the same way at the zoo! I just wish the passage was longer with even more crazy ape facts. If you ever have to take the CET 6 listening, pay close attention during the ape passage - you'll be amazed by how smart those furry guys are!篇6The Big Test DayIt was a sunny morning and I was feeling pretty nervous. Today was the big English Level 6 exam! I had been studying really hard, but listening tests always make me a little jittery.First up was the listening section. The teacher said there would be three conversations to listen to, and then some longer recordings like lectures or talks. I took a deep breath as the CD player started up.Conversation OneThe first conversation was between a student and a librarian. The student needed to find some books for a school project about animals. The librarian suggested looking in the 500s section for books on zoology. She said there were lots of great wildlife picture books there that would be perfect. I tried to concentrate really hard and understand all the details they discussed.Conversation TwoUp next was a conversation between two friends making plans to get together. One friend suggested going bowling, but the other didn't want to because he had hurt his arm playing basketball. Then the one friend mentioned maybe going to a museum exhibition about ancient Egypt instead. That sounded way more interesting to me than bowling! The guy with the sore arm agreed as long as they didn't have to walk around too much.Conversation ThreeThe third conversation took place at a restaurant between a server and a customer. The customer wanted to know about the specials for the day. The server described a few different options like a pasta dish, a steak, and a vegetarian stir-fry. She also mentioned they had a berries and cream dessert. The customer ended up ordering the steak meal. Listening to all those food descriptions made my stomach growl a little!Lecture OneAfter the conversations, we moved on to some longer recordings. The first one was a lecture about climate change. The professor discussed some of the causes of climate change, like burning too many fossil fuels and producing too many greenhouse gases. He explained about the greenhouse effect and how it's making the Earth get warmer over time. The lecture talked about melting ice caps, rising sea levels, and how climate change is creating more extreme weather events. It was all pretty scary stuff!Talk TwoThe next recording was a talk from a children's author. She spoke about where she gets her ideas for stories from. The author said she finds inspiration from her own childhood memories and experiences. She gave an example of how a storyshe wrote about a haunted tree house was based on a tree house she used to play in as a kid. The author also mentioned getting ideas from dreams she has had. She kept a dream journal and would often incorporate pieces of her crazy dream adventures into her books' plots. Listening to her talk made me want to start writing my own stories!Lecture ThreeThe final recording on the listening exam was a lecture from a museum curator. He spoke about an upcoming exhibit of ancient Maya artifacts and culture. The curator went into detail describing different Maya civilizations and cities like Chichen Itza. He discussed Maya religion, astronomy, architecture, and their unique writing system. Some of the artifacts he talked about were sculptures, pottery, calendars and codices, which are Maya books made from tree bark or deerskin. It all sounded so fascinating to learn about such an amazing ancient culture.Phew, that was it for the big listening section! I felt relieved to have gotten through it all. There was so much to try and remember and understand. But studying hard paid off. Now I just had to take a break and get ready for the rest of the exam. Wish me luck!。

Nice to meet you!M: Nice to meet you, too, Kathy. My name is John. I'm a university friend of the bride. What about you?Who do you know at this party?W: I am a colleague of Brenda. I was a little surprised to be invited, to be honest. We've only been working togeher the last six months,but we quickly became good friends.We just wrapted up a project with a difficult client last week.I bet Brenda is glad it's done with ,and she can focus on wedding preparations.M:Oh,yes.So you're Kathy from the office.Actually,I've heard a lot about you and that project. The client sounded like a real nightmare!W:Oh,he was. I mean we deal with all kinds of people on a regular basis.It's part of the job, but he was especially particular ,enough about that. What line of work are you in?M:Well,right out of college,I worked in advertising for a while.Recently, though,I turn my photography hobby into a small business.I'll actually be taking photos during the big event as a wedding gift.W:That sounds wonderful and very thoughtful of you, I bake, just as a hobby.But Brandon has asked me to do the cake for the wedding, I was a bit nervous saying yes, because I'm far from a professional.M:Did you bake the cookies here at the party tonight?W:Yes, I got the idea from a magazine.M:They are delicious! You've got nothing to worry about.You're natural.W:You really think so?M:If you hadn't told me that, I would have guessed they were backed by a restaurant.You know,with our event planning experience, you could very well open your own shop.W:Ha,ha!One step at a time. First, I'll see how baking the wedding cake goes, if it's not a diaster, maybe I will give it some more thought.1.What did Kathy and Brenda finish doing last week?2.What is John going to do for Brenda?3.How did Kathy feel when asked to bake the cake?4.What does the man suggest the woman do?Question 5 to 8 are based on the conversation you have just heard.M:You're heading for a completely different world now that you're about to graduate from high school.W:I know it's the end of high school, but many of my classmates are going on to the same University, and we are still required to study hard.So what's the difference?M:Many aspects are different here at University.The most important one is that you have to take more individual responsibility for your actions. It's up to your own self-discipline how much effort you put into study. Living in college dormitories, there are no parents to tell you to study harder or stop wasting time. Lecturers have hundreds of students, and they are not going to follow you up or question you if you missed their lectures.W:Nobody cares, you mean?M:It's not that nobody is concerned about you. It's just that suddenly at University you are expected to behave like an adult. That means concentrating on the direction of your life in general and your own academic performance specifically.W:For example?M:Well, like you need to manage your daily, weekly and monthly schedules so that you will study regularly.Be sure to attend all classes and leave enough time to finish assignments and prepare well for examinations.W:Okay, and what else is different?M:Well, in college, there are lots of distractions and you need to control yourself. You will make interesting friends, but you need only keep the friends who respect your study commitments. Also, there are a lot of wonderful clubs, but you shouldn't allocate too much time to club activities, unless they are directly related to your study. It's also your choice if you want to go out at night, but you will be foolish to let that affect your class performance during the day.W:Well, I am determined to do well in University and I guess I am going to have to grow up fast.5.What does the man say about college students as compared with high schoolers?6.What are college students expected to do according to the man?7.What kind of friends does the man suggest the woman nake as a college student?8.What kind of club activities should college students engage in according to the man?Question 9 to 11 are based on the conversation you have just heard.Most successful people are unorthodox persons whose minds wander outside traditional ways of thinking. Instead of trying to refine out formulas, they invent new ones. When Jean-Claude Killymade the French National Ski Team in the early 1960s he was prepared to work harder than anyone else to be the best. At the crack of dawn he would run up the slopes with his skin on, an unbelievably backbreaking activity.In the evening, he would do weightlifting and running. But the other team members were working as hard and long as he was. He realized instinctively thatsimply training harder would never be enough. Killy then began challenging the basic theories of racing technique. Each week he wouldtry something different to see if he could find a better, faster way down the mountain.His experiments resulted in a new style that was almost exactly opposite the accepted technique of the time. It involved skiing with his legs apart for better balance and sitting back on the skis when he came to a turn.He also used ski poles in an unorthodox way to proper himself as his skied.The explosive news style helped cut Killy's racing time dramatically. In 1966 and 1967, he captured virtually every major skiing trophy. The next year, he won three gold medals in the Winter Olympics, a record in ski racing that has never been topped. Killy learned an important secret shared by many creative people:Innovations don't require genius, just a willingness to question the way things have always been done.9.What does the speaker say about most successful people?10.What does the speaker say about Killy's experiments?11.What is said to be Killy's biggest honor inhis skiing career?Question 12 to 15 are based on the conversation you have just heard.Scientific experiments have demonstrated incredible ways to kill a guinea pig,a small furry animal. Emotional upsets generate powerful and deadly toxic substance. Blood samples taken from persons experiencing intense fear or anger when injected into guinea pigs have killed them in less than two minutes. Imagine what these poisonous subtense can do to your own body. Even though that you have affects your body chemistry within a split second. Remember how you feel when you are speeding down the highway and a big truck suddenly breaks 20 metres in front of you. A shock wave shoots through your whole system. Your mind produces instead reactions in your body. The toxic substances, that fear, anger, frustration and stress produce not only kill guinea pigs but kill us off in a similar manner. It's impossible to be fearful, anxious, irritated and healthy at the same time. It's not just difficult. It's impossible. Simply put, your body's health is a reflection of your mental health. Sickness will often then be a result of unresolved inner conflicts which in time show up in the body. It is also fascinating how our subconscious mind shapes our health.Do you recall falling sick on a day when you didn't want to go to school? Headache brought on be fear? The mindbody connection is such that if, for example, we want to avoid something, very often our subconscious mind will arrange it. Once we recognize that these things happen to us, we are halfway to doing something about them.12.What happens to guinea pigs when blood samples of angry people are injected into them?13.What does the speaker say about every thought you have?14.What does the speaker say is the impossible?15.What does the passage say about our mind and body?Question 16 to 18 are based on the conversation you have just heard.Teachers and students alike have experienced a curious paradox that beginners, as a rule, tend to think too little about what they are doing because they think too much about what they are doing. Take, for example, people who are learning to play basketball or the piano. They have to give so much thought and attention to the low-level machanics of handling the ball or the fingering the key or reading the music,that they are unable to give any thought to the thing that matters--the game,or the music, respectively.With experts. It's just the other way around. They're open to the tacticalpossibilities and that musical challenges precisely because they're freed, through skill, from the needto pay attention to the low-level details of how to play.Indeed, when the experts pays attention to the mechanics, this is liable to disrupt performance. This has led some to say that the experts operates in a zero “beyond thought”, in a state of flow.But this is misleading.Experts performances is not beyond thought.Smart basketball players or skilled musicians need to pay close attention to the demands of high performance, to the challenges to be overcome. What they don't need to do--what would be a distraction--is to have to think about where their fingers are, or how to control the ball while running. It's not mechanical, but the play itself, that absorbs the expert's intelligence. Nice video published online last month sheds light on expertise and conscious mind. The video reports a new study using an eye-tracking device.It turns out that the less-skilled pianist spends more time looking at her finger than does the experts who, in contrast, is more likely to be looking at the sheet music, or looking ahead at keys he's not yet playing. In general, the expert's gaze was calmer and more stable. This is not a surprising finding.It supports we might almost think of as conventional wisdom.But it's remarkable for all that, nonetheless. The eye tracker gives experts and learning performance a glimpse into what they do without thinking about it. The topic of the nature of skill --and the differences between beginners and experts--has been one of considerable discussion in cognitive of science and philosophy.16.What does the speaker say about beginners and expert pianists?17.What do smart basketball players do according to the speaker?18.What do we learn about the new study published in an online video?Question 19 to 21 are based on the conversation you have just heard.Every summer, when I top up my selection of summer outfits from the department stores, my eyes would nearly pop out of my head. I am overwhelmed with a wide range of different slimming products each year. And more shockingly, these products are often avocated by very slim models. Having lived in Asia for almost 10 years now,I've seen various dieting tips come and go.I remember in Japan, people heading directly to the fruit section in the supermarket when the banana diet was as its peak.Then there was a black tea and oolong tea diet, followed by the soybean diet and the tomato juice diet. The list goes on and on. Apart from what people eat, i've also seen many interesting slimming products. In Hong Kong, I've seen girls wrapping their whole body or both legs upwith a special type of slimming tape which is supposed to help make them thinner.But it just reminded me of the roasted ham my mother usually puts on the dinner table at Christmas. Then there were the face slimming rollers that were said to improve your blood circulation and make your face smaller.Personally, I do not believe in any of these slimming gadgets and I think I have a very different perspective when it comes to the definition of what is beautiful. Asian women perfer to avoid the sun, because being pale of white is considered beautiful, whereas a tanned complexion is considered much more beautiful and sexy in the west. It is most certainly shaped by a person's culture as well as how they were raised in their childhood. As each summer season approaches, there's no escape from it. But it's not only women who are affected by this pressure to look good.Men aspire to be able to show off their six packs or their V-shaped backs,and there's a growing market of slimming pills aimed at men, too. I think no matter what diets we follow or what slimming products we obsess ourselves with, at the end of the day, there's no magic trick to shape up for the summer.Eat in a balance way and incorporate the right level of physical activity. For me, this still seems to be the best plan.19.What overwhelms the speaker when she buys her summer outfits each year?20.What does the speaker think of girls wraping their legs up with slimming tape?21.What does the speaker think affects people's interpretation of beauty?Question 22 to 25 are based on the conversation you have just heard.Skin may seem like a superficial human attribute, but it's the first thing we noticed about anyone we meet, As a zoologist focusing on the studies of apes and monkeys,I've been studying why humans evolved to become the naked ape,and why skin comes in so many different shades around the world. We can make a very good estimate from the fossil record that humans probably evolved naked skin around 1.5 million years ago, and meanwhile they mostly lost their coat of fur.Today, we have a few patches of hair remaining on various parts of our bodies. But compared with apes and monkeys, we have very little. Basically,we turned our skin darker to serge as a natural sun protector in the place of the hair we lost.We think we lost this hair because of the need to keep ourselves cool when we were moving around vigorously in a hotenvironment. We can't really lose heat by breathing quickly and loudly like dogs. We have to do it by sweating.So we evolved the ability to sweat plentifully and lost most of our fur.Most animals protect themselves from the sun with fur. What we did in our ancestry was to produce more prermanent natural coloring in our skin cells. This was really an important revolution in human history because it allowed us to continue to evolve in equatorial environment.It really made it possible for us to contunue along the path toward modern humans in Africa. For most of human history,we all had dark skin.What we see today is the product of evolutionary events resulting from the dispersal of a few human populations out of Africa around 60000 to 70000 years ago. Our species originated around 200000 years ago and underwent tremendous diversification--culturally,technoloically,linguistically,artistically--for 130000 years. After that, a few small populations left Africa to populate the rest of the world. These early ancestors of modern Eurasians dispersed into parts of the world that had more seasonal sunshine and much lower levels of sun radiation. It's in these on ulations that we begin to see real changes in the genetic makeup of natural coloring. Today, skin color is evolvin in the new mixtures of people coming together and having children with new mixtures of skin color genes.We can see this in almost every lare city worldwide. Not only the coloring genes but lots of other genes are getting mixed up,too.22.What does the speaker mainly talk about?23.What had probably caused humans to lose most of their hair 1.5 million years ago?24.What does the speaker say protected early humans from the sun?25.What happened after humans migrated from Africa to other parts of the world?。

英语六级2022年9月考试真题第一套听力

英语六级2022年9月考试真题第一套听力全文共6篇示例，供读者参考篇1My Big English Test Adventure!Hi! My name is Emma and I'm 10 years old. I just took a really big English test called the TEM-8. The listening part was super hard but I'll tell you all about it!The first thing we had to listen to was something about some scientists studying stars. There were lots of big words I didn't know like "celestial bodies" and "solar systems". I tried my best to listen carefully though. The guy talking said there are way more stars than we can even see! Billions and billions more. That's just crazy to think about. I love looking at the stars at night but I had no idea there were that many.After that, there was a conversation between a student and a professor. The student was asking about doing some kind of research project. The professor said he would be the student's mentor and gave him some advice. He told the student to come up with three topics he was interested in by next week. I couldn'tbelieve how patient the professor sounded! If I brought that much work home, my parents would go nuts.The next recording was some lady giving a presentation about the history of poker. I didn't know what poker was at first, but she explained that it's some kind of card game that people gamble on. It was actually pretty interesting learning how it started out in the Old West in America and how popular it got over time. The lady talked super fast though, so I had a hard time keeping up with everything she said. I just tried to listen for the main points.Then after that, we heard a few more conversations. One was between roommates talking about cleaning their apartment. Another one was between a guy and a librarian about getting access to some online journals. The librarian seemed really nice and gave lots of details on how to log into the system. If our school librarian was that helpful, I'd actually go to the library more!Probably the hardest part was this long lecture at the end about the pharmaceutical industry. The professor was using all these huge medical words that went completely over my head. But from what I could understand, he was talking about how companies develop and test new drugs before they can sell them.It costs like a bazillion dollars apparently! No wonder my mom complains about how expensive her medicine is.There were a couple other conversations too, but those were the main things I remember. Overall, I think I did...okay? A lot of it was just too advanced and academic for a kid like me. But I studied really hard and gave it my best effort. Hopefully I did well enough to make my English teacher proud!Listening to all that grown-up talk for two hours was honestly kind of boring at times. But I'm glad I got to experience what a big important test like that is like. English is my favorite subject and I want to be really good at it. This was awesome practice for when I'm older and have to take huge tests like this for real.Tests might be a drag, but learning is fun! Especially learning English so I can enjoy cool movies, books, and songs even more. I'm going to keep working hard so I can understand everything perfectly one day. Who knows, maybe I'll even be the one giving lectures about fancy things when I grow up!Well, that's all I've got to report on my TEM-8 listening adventure. Thanks for reading, friends! I'm off to watch some cartoons and relax after that mental marathon. See ya!篇2My Adventure at the ZooHi everyone! My name is Timmy and I want to share with you my amazing adventure at the zoo. Last Sunday, my family and I went to the City Zoo. It was the best day ever!First, we saw the lions. They were so big and strong. They had beautiful golden fur and were taking a nap under a shady tree. The zookeeper told us that lions are the kings of the jungle and they sleep a lot during the day. I wish I could nap as much as them!Next, we visited the monkey enclosure. The monkeys were swinging from tree to tree and making funny faces. They were so playful! I giggled when one of them stuck out its tongue at me. The zookeeper said monkeys are very clever and love to imitate people. I tried to imitate them too, but it was quite difficult!After that, we went to the giraffe area. Giraffes have really long necks, and they can reach the leaves on tall trees. It was funny to watch them eat! The zookeeper explained that giraffes have a special blue tongue to protect them from the sun. Isn't that cool?The highlight of my day was the dolphin show. We sat near the pool and watched as the dolphins flipped and jumped out of the water. They were so graceful and smart. I wished I could swim like them. The zookeeper told us that dolphins are very friendly and love to play with humans. I waved at them, and one of the dolphins splashed water at me. It was so much fun!Finally, we visited the penguin house. Penguins are my favorite animals because they are so cute and funny. They waddled around on the ice and slid down into the water. I laughed so hard when one of them slipped and fell on its belly. The zookeeper told us that penguins are excellent swimmers and their black and white feathers help them blend in with the water.I wished I could join them in their icy playground.At the end of the day, I was tired but happy. The zoo was an amazing place with so many incredible animals. I learned a lot about different species and how important it is to protect them. I can't wait to go back to the zoo again and have more adventures with the animals!That's all for now. I hope you enjoyed hearing about my day at the zoo. Remember, it's important to love and protect animals, no matter how big or small they are. Take care and see you soon!Love,Timmy篇3The Big Listening Test for the Grown-UpsLast month, I went with my older sister to the place where she takes her big tests. She's in college and was going to take this huge listening test called the "College English Test Band 6." It sounded really important and difficult!When we got there, I saw so many older kids, probably around my sister's age, gathering outside a big building. They all looked pretty nervous, clutching their pencils and papers. I could tell this was a big deal!My sister told me I had to be really quiet once we went inside. We found the room where her test was going to happen. It was this massive lecture hall with tons of desks and chairs. The walls were totally bare, with no pictures or anything. It felt a bit like a prison!After a few minutes, a strict-looking lady came to the front and started giving instructions over a microphone. She explained all the rules for the test in a very serious tone. No talking, no cheating, no cell phones. I gulped. This seemed intense!Then she started the test recordings over the loudspeakers. At first, it just sounded like some people talking about random things. But my sister had her pencil moving at lightning speed, writing down notes. I tried to follow along, but it was super hard with all the big vocabulary words I didn't know.The recordings kept playing, one after another. Conversations, lectures, news reports - it was like getting a taste of the whole English-speaking world! After about 30 minutes, the first section was over. Phew, I thought, at least there's a break. But nope! They just plowed right into the next section without stopping.This cycle continued for what felt like forever. My brain was turning to mush trying to comprehend it all. How did my sister keep up with her furious pencil-scribbling? These college kids are seriously impressive!By the time it finished, I was mentally drained. And apparently that was just the listening portion! My sister still had to go take the reading, writing, and other sections later. No wonder she studies so hard.On the way home, I asked her how she thought she did. She just shrugged and said, "Eh, it was okay I guess. Probably failed the whole thing though." I couldn't believe it! If that wasconsidered failing, then I have absolutely no chance when I'm older.The College English Test 6 is no joke. Hats off to my sister and all her fellow test-takers for being able to muscle through that listening marathon. I've decided that the university life is not for me - I'll just become a lumberjack instead!篇4The Big Kid TestHey guys! I have to tell you about this super hard test I took last weekend. It was called the College English Test Band 6, but I'm just a kid in elementary school so I'm not sure why they made me take a college test. Maybe they thought since I'm so smart that I could handle it? I don't know, but it was really really difficult.The first part was just listening to people talking. That doesn't sound too bad, right? Well, it was way harder than I thought it would be. They played all these conversations and lectures and stuff, and then asked me questions about what the people said. The conversations were about things like making restaurant reservations, checking into a hotel, and scheduling a meeting. Boring grown-up stuff like that.Then there were these lectures that professors gave about topics like geology, economics, and environmental science. I could kind of follow along at first when they were introducing the topic. But then they started using all these big fancy words that I didn't understand at all. I tried my best to listen carefully, but it felt like they were speaking another language or something.After each conversation or lecture, they would ask 3-5 questions about the details of what was said. Things like "What was the man's reason for canceling the reservation?" or "According to the professor, what are the three main types of sedimentary rocks?" I barely understood half of what the speakers were talking about, so a lot of the questions just went right over my head.I'm usually a really good test taker and I can focus for a long time. But honestly, my brain got kinda fried after the first 30 minutes of listening so intensely. By the end of that section, which lasted like an hour, my head was spinning! I could feel myself zoning out during some of the later conversations. Knowing me though, I probably still got most of the easy ones right by using context clues and my awesome listening skills.The second part of the test was reading comprehension. Now that was more my speed! I'm a total bookworm and I loooove reading all kinds of books and stories. For this section, there were a few longer passages about topics like art, technology, and environmental issues. Each one was maybe 800 words long.After reading each passage, there were some questions testing if you understood the main points, details, vocabulary in context, making inferences, and stuff like that. Compared to the crazy difficult listening section, the reading part felt like a walk in the park for a pro reader like me. I bet I got most, if not all, of those questions right. Nailed it!By the time I finished the whole test, I was mentally exhausted. All that intense focusing and critical thinking for two and half hours straight made my brain feel like an overworked muscle. I'm used to my school tests only lasting an hour at most. This college English test was no joke!When I saw my parents after, the first thing I said was "That was wayyyy harder than I expected!" I could tell they felt a little bad for letting me take such an advanced test at my age. But I was really proud of myself for toughing it out and not giving up. I like a good challenge!I'm honestly not sure how well I did overall on the College English Test Band 6. Parts of it, especially the listening, were just comically difficult for a 10-year-old. But I certainly tried my best and learned a ton in the process. Maybe I'll get to take it again when I'm actually in college. Either way, it was a really good experience that helped me grow as a student and test taker.Whew, I'm tired just from talking about it! I think I'll go take a nap now. Testing is hard work! Let me know if you guys have ever had to take a crazy difficult test like that. We can swap war stories! Later days!篇5The Big English Listening TestHi friends! Today I'm gonna tell you all about the big English listening test I took a little while ago. It was called the CET-6 and it happened in September 2022. CET stands for College English Test and the 6 means it's a really hard one - the highest level! I'm just a kid but I like to take tests to challenge myself. This one was super duper difficult but I tried my best.The test had lots of different listening sections. First up was some conversations between different people. They would be talking about normal stuff like going shopping, asking fordirections, or making plans. After each little talk, there were some questions asking what the people said or what they were doing. I had to listen very carefully to get those right!Next there were some longer lectures and talks. One was about black holes from a science professor. I didn't understand a lot of the hard words she used but I tried to get the main idea. Another speech was from a businessman talking about marketing strategies for a new product. That one was a little easier for me to follow.Then we moved onto some really long recordings of radio shows, interviews, and even an English movie clip! These stories went on for a long time and the questions after asked for lots of details. Who said what to whom? What were their different opinions? Summarize the main points in one sentence. Phew, it was hard work keeping everything straight in my little brain!There were also some weird sounds we had to identify, like a microwave beeping or someone shuffling papers. I'm still just learning to identify all those everyday noises in English. And another section had recordings with blanks that we had to fill in with the missing word or words we heard. Like mad lib games, but way harder!The whole thing took almost 3 hours from start to finish! My ears were ringing by the end from concentrating so hard. There were over 50 questions and answers to circle on the big test booklet. I just put my head down and did my best, skipping over anything too confusing.When it was finally over, I felt like a wet noodle. Listening in another language for that long is exhausting, even if it's fun! I don't know my score yet but I'm proud I made it through such a crazy difficult test. An English listening marathon is no joke, even for a grown-up!Well, that's my big long story about the CET-6 listening exam from back in September. If you ever want to prove how good you are at understanding English out loud, you should definitely try taking it too. Just make sure you get plenty of rest first - you're gonna need it! Okay friends, see you next time! Study hard!篇6Hello friends! Today I want to tell you all about the listening part of the big English test I took a little while ago. It was the English Level 6 exam in September 2022. The listening section had some really cool stuff but also some really hard parts too!It started off with some conversations between different people. There were conversations at a bookstore, at a coffee shop, and even at an airport! The airport one was kind of confusing because there were all these announcements over the loudspeaker in the background. But I tried my best to listen carefully to what the people were actually saying to each other.After the conversations, there were some longer talks and lectures. One of them was about marine biology and the different creatures that live in the ocean. That one was pretty interesting! The lecturer talked about whales and dolphins and sharks. She explained how their bodies are designed to allow them to swim really fast and dive down deep. My favorite part was when she talked about the giant squid - those things are huge and scary looking!Another lecture was on the history of comic books and superhero stories. The professor talked about some of the earliest superhero characters like Superman, Batman, and Wonder Woman. He explained why they became so popular back in the 1930s and how the comic book industry grew from there. It was fun learning about the origins of characters I'm familiar with from movies and TV shows nowadays.Some of the other lectures were a bit harder for me to follow. There was one on economic principles that used a lot of big vocabulary words I didn't know. And another one was all about interpretations of ancient Greek philosophy - that one went way over my head! I'll have to study more if I want to understand concepts like that in the future.Towards the end, there were some recordings about the pros and cons of different methods of teaching math to elementary school kids. As a student myself, that topic was pretty interesting and relevant to me. Some of the experts talked about the advantages of hands-on learning with physical objects. Others preferred more of a theory-based approach, working through formulas and equations.Overall, while parts of the listening section were pretty challenging, I felt like I learned a lot of cool new information across many different topics. Marine biology, comic book history, economic ideas - those are all subjects I didn't know much about before. And for the parts I couldn't completely understand, I'll just have to study harder and build up my English skills over time.Tests are never easy, but opportunities to learn like this listening exam make the hard work worthwhile. I'm proud ofmyself for making it all the way through and picking up so much knowledge along the way. Wish me luck for the next English exam I take - I'll keep practicing my listening abilities so I can understand even more!。

item on Answer Sheet 2 with a single line through the centre.You may not use any of the words in the bank more than once.Let’s all stop judging people who talk to themselves.New research says that those who can’t seem to keep their inner monologues(独白) in are actually more likely to stay on task, remain __26__ better and show improved perception capabilities.Not bad, really, for some extra muttering.According to a series of experiments published in the Quarterly Journal of Experimental Psychology by professors Gary Lupyan and Daniel Swignley, the act of using verbal clues to __27__ mental pictures helps people function quicker.In one experiment, they showed pictures of various objects to twenty __28__ and asked them to find just one of those, a banana.Half were __29__ to repeat out loud what they were looking for and the other half kept their lips __30__.Those who talked to themselves found the banana slightly faster than those who didn’t, the researchers say.In other experiments, Lupyan and Swignley found that __31__ the name of a common product when on the hunt for it helped quicken someone’s pace, but talking about uncommon items showed no advantage and slowed you down.Common research has long held that talking themselves through a task helps children learn, although doing so when you’ve __32__ matured is not a great sign of __33__.The two professors hope to refute that idea, __34__ that just as when kids walk themselves through a process, adults can benefit from using language not just to communicate, but also to help “augment thinking”.Of course, you are still encouraged to keep the talking at library tones and, whatever you do, keep the information you share simple, like a grocery list.At any__35__, there’s still such a thing as too much information.Section BDirections: In this section, you are going to read a passage with ten statements attached to it.Each statement contains information given in one of the paragraphs.Identify the paragraph from which the information is derived.You may choose a paragraph more than once.Each paragraph is marked with a letter.Answer the questions by marking the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 2.Rich Children and Poor Ones Are Raised Very Differently[A] The lives of children from rich and poor American families look more different than ever before.[B] Well-off families are ruled by calendars, with children enrolled in ballet, soccer and after-school programs, according to a new Pew Research Center survey.There are usually two parents, who spend a lot of time reading to children and worrying about their anxiety levels and hectic schedules.[C] In poor families, meanwhile, children tend to spend their time at home or with extended family.They are more likely to grow up in neighborhoods that their parents say aren’t great for raising children, and their parents worry about them getting shot, beaten up or in trouble with the law.[D] The class differences in child rearing are growing — a symptom of widening inequality with far-reaching consequences.Different upbringings set children on different paths and can deepen socioeconomic divisions, especially because education is strongly linked to earnings.Children grow up learning the skills to succeed in their socioeconomic stratum (阶层), but not necessarily others.[E] “Early childhood experiences can be very consequential for children’s long-term social, emotional and cognitive development,” said Sean Reardon, professor of poverty and inequality in education at Stanford University.“And because those influence educational success and later earnings, early childhood experiences cast a lifelong shadow.” The cycle continues: Poorer parents have less time and fewer resources to invest in their children, which can leave children less prepared for school and work, which leads to lower earnings.[F] American parents want similar things for their children, the Pew report and past research have found: for them to be healthy and happy, honest and ethical, caring and compassionate.There is no best parenting style or philosophy, researchers say, and across income groups, 92% of parents say they are doing a good job at raising their children.Yet they are doing it quite differently.Middle-class and higher- income parents see their children as projects in need of careful cultivation, says Annette Lareau, whose groundbreaking research on the topic was published in her book Unequal Childhoods: Class, Race and Family Life.They try to develop their skillsthrough close supervision and organized activities, and teach children to question authority figures and navigate elite institutions.[G] Working-class parents, meanwhile, believe their children will naturally thrive, and give them far greater independence and time for free play.They are taught to be compliant and respectful to adults.There are benefits to bothapproaches.Working-class children are happier, more independent, complain less and are closer with family members, reau found.Higher-income children are more likely to declare boredom and expect their parents to solve their problems.Yet later on, the more affluent children end up in college and on the way to the middle class, while working-class children tend to struggle.Children from higher-income families are likely to have the skills to navigate bureaucracies and succeed in schools and workplaces, reau said.[H] “Do all parents want the most success for their children? Absolutely,” she said.“Do some strategies give children more advantages than others in institutions? Probably they do.Will parents be damaging children if they have one fewer organized activity? No, I really doubt it.”[I] Social scientists say the differences arise in part because low-income parents have less money to spend on music class or preschool, and less flexible schedules to take children to museums or attend school events.Extracurricular activities reflect the differences in child rearing in the Pew survey, which was of a nationally representative sample of 1,807 parents.Of families earning more than $75,000 a year,84% say their children have participated in organized sports over the past year, 64% have done volunteer work and 62% have taken lessons in music, dance or art.Of families earning less than $30,000, 59% of children have done sports, 37% have volunteered and 41% have taken arts classes.[J] Especially in affluent families, children start young.Nearly half of high-earning, college-graduate parents enrolled their children in arts classes before they were 5, compared with one-fifth of low-income, less- educated parents.Nonetheless, 20% of well-off parents say their children’s schedules are too hectic, compared with 8% of poorer parents.[K] Another example is reading aloud, which studies have shown gives children bigger vocabularies and better reading comprehension in school.71% of parents with a college degree say they do it every day, compared with 33% of those with a high school diploma or less.White parents are more likely than others to read to their children daily, as are married parents.Most affluent parents enroll their children in preschool or day care, while low-income parents are more likely to depend on family members.Discipline techniques vary by education level: 8% of those with a postgraduate degree say they often beat their children, compared with 22% of those with a high school degree or less.[L] The survey also probed attitudes and anxieties.Interestingly, parents’attitudes toward education do not seem to reflect their own educational background as much as a belief in the importance of education for upward mobility.Most Americanparents say they are not concerned about their children’s grades as long as they work hard.But 50% of poor parents say it is extremely important to them that their children earn a college degree, compared with 39% of wealthier parents.[M] Less-educated parents, and poorer and black and Latino parents are more likely to believe that there is no such thing as too much involvement in a child’s education.Parents who are white, wealthy or college- educated say too much involvement can be bad.Parental anxieties reflect their circumstances.High- earning parents are much more likely to say they live in a good neighborhood for raising children.While bullying is parents’ greatest concern over all, nearly half of low-income parents worry their child will get shot, compared with one-fifth of high-income parents.They are more worried about their children being depressed or anxious.[N] In the Pew survey, middle-class families earning between $30,000 and $75,000 a year fell right between working-class and high-earning parents on issueslike the quality of their neighborhood for raising children, participation in extracurricular activities and involvement in their children’ s education.[O] Children were not always raised so differently.The achievement gap between children from high- and low-income families is 30-40% larger among children born in than those born 25 years earlier, according to Mr.Reardon’ s research.People used to live near people of different income levels; neighborhoods are now more segregatedby income.More than a quarter of children live in single-parent households — ahistoric high, according to Pew 一 and these children are three times as likely to livein poverty as those who live with married parents.Meanwhile, growing income inequality has coincided with the increasing importance of a college degree for earning a middle-class wage.[P] Yet there are recent signs that the gap could be starting to shrink.In the past decade, even as income inequality has grown, some of the socioeconomic differences in parenting, like reading to children and going to libraries, have narrowed.[Q] Public policies aimed at young children have helped, including public preschool programs and reading initiatives.Addressing differences in the earliest years, it seems, could reduce inequality in the next generation.36.Working-class parents teach their children to be obedient and show respect to adults.37.American parents, whether rich or poor, have similar expectations of their children despite different ways of parenting.38.While rich parents are more concerned with their children’s psychological well-being, poor parents are more worried about their children’s safety.39.The increasing differences in child rearing between rich and poor families reflect growing social inequality.40.Parenting approaches of working-class and affluent families both have advantages.41.Higher-income families and working-class families now tend to live in different neighborhoods.42.Physical punishment is used much less by well-educated parents.reau doesn’t believe participating in fewer after-class activities will negatively affect children’s development.44.Wealthy parents are concerned about their children’s mental health and busy schedules.45.Some socioeconomic differences in child rearing have shrunk in the past ten years.Section CDirections: There are 2 passages in this section.Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements.For each of them there are four choices marked A), B), C) and D).You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 2 with a single line through the centre.Passage OneQuestions 46 to 50 are based on the following passage.Tennessee’s technical and community colleges will not outsource(外包) management of their facilities to a private company, a decision one leader said was bolstered by an analysis of spending at each campus.In an email sent Monday to college presidents in the Tennessee Board of Regents system, outgoing Chancellor John Morgan said an internal analysis showed that eachcampus’ spending on facilities management fell well below the industry standards identified by the state.Morgan said those findings — which included data from the system’s 13 community colleges, 27 technical colleges and six universities — were part of the decision not to move forward with Governor Bill Haslam’s proposal to privatize management of state buildings in an effort to save money.“While these numbers are still being validated by the state, we feel any adjustments they might suggest will be immaterial,” Morgan wrote to the presidents.“System institutions are operating very efficiently based on this analysis, raising the question of the value of pursuing a broad scale outsourcing initiative.”Worker’s advocates have criticized Haslam’s plan, saying it would mean some campus workers would lose their jobs or benefits.Haslam has said colleges would be free to opt in or out of the out souring plan, which has not been finalized.Morgan notified the Haslam administration of his decision to opt out in a letter sent last week.That letter, which includes several concerns Morgan has with the plan, was originally obtained by The Commercial Appeal in Memphis.In an email statement from the state’s Office of Customer Focused Government, which is examining the possibility of outsourcing, spokeswoman Michelle R.Martin said officials were still working to analyze the data from the Board of Regents.Data on management expenses at the college system and in other state departments will be part of a “business justification” the state will use as officials deliberate the specifics of an outsourcing plan.“The state’s facilities management project team is still in the process of developing its business justification and expects to have that completed and available to the public at the end of February,” Martin said.“At this time there is nothing to take action on since the analysis has yet to be completed.”Morgan’s comments on outsourcing mark the second time this month that he has come out against one of Haslam’s plans for higher education in Tennessee.Morgan said last week that he would retire at the end of January because of the governor’s proposal to split off six universities of the Board of Regents system and create separate governing boards for each of them.In his resignation letter, Morgan called the reorganization “unworkable”.46.What do we learn about the decision of technical and community colleges in Tennessee?A) It is backed by a campus spending analysis.B)It has been flatly rejected by the governor.C)It has neglected their faculty’s demands.D)It will improve their financial situation.47.What does the campus spending analysis reveal?A) Private companies play a big role in campus management.B)Facilities management by colleges is more cost-effective.C)Facilities management has greatly improved in recent years.D)Colleges exercise foil control over their own financial affairs.48.Workers’ supporters argue that Bill Haslam’s proposal would_________.A) deprive colleges of the right to manage their facilitiesB)make workers less motivated in performing dutiesC)render a number of campus workers joblessD)lead to the privatization of campus facilities49.What do we learn from the state spokeswoman’s response to John Morgan’s decision?A) The outsourcing plan is not yet finalized.B)The outsourcing plan will be implemented.C)The state officials are confident about the outsourcing plan.D)The college spending analysis justifies the outsourcing plan.50.Why did John Morgan decide to resign?A) He had lost confidence in the Tennessee state government.B)He disagreed with the governor on higher education policies.C)He thought the state’s outsourcing proposal was simply unworkable.D)He opposed the governor’s plan to reconstruct the college board system.Passage TwoQuestions 51 to 55 are based on the following passage.Beginning in the late sixteenth century, it became fashionable for young aristocrats to visit Paris, Venice, Florence, and above all, Rome, as the culmination(终极) of their classical education.Thus was born the idea of the Grand Tour, a practice which introduced Englishmen, Germans, Scandinavians, and also Americans to the art and culture of France and Italy for the next 300 years.Travel was arduous and costly throughout the period, possible only for a privileged class—the same that produced gentlemen scientists, authors, antique experts, and patrons of the arts.The Grand Tourist was typically a young man with a thorough grounding in Greek and Latin literature as well as some leisure time, some means, and some interest in art.The German traveler Johann Winckelmann pioneered the field of art history with his comprehensive study of Greek and Roman sculpture; he was portrayed by his friend Anton Raphael Mengs at the beginning of his long residence in Rome.Most Grand Tourists, however, stayed for briefer periods and set out with less scholarly intentions, accompanied by a teacher or guardian, and expected to return home with souvenirs of their travels as well as an understanding of art and architecture formed by exposure to great masterpieces.London was a frequent starting point for Grand Tourists, and Paris a compulsory destination; many traveled to the Netherlands, some to Switzerland and Germany, and a very few adventurers to Spain, Greece, or Turkey.The essential place to visit, however, was Italy.The British traveler Charles Thompson spoke for many Grand Tourists when in 1744 he described himself as “being impatiently desirous of viewing a country so famous in history, a country which once gave laws to the world, and which is at present the greatest school of music and painting, contains the noblestproductions of sculpture and architecture, and is filled with cabinets of rarities, and collections of all kinds of historical relics”.Within Italy, the great focus was Rome, whose ancient ruins and more recent achievements were shown to every Grand Tourist.Panini’s Ancient Rome and Modem Rome represent the sights most prized, including celebrated Greco-Roman statues and views of famous ruins, fountains, and churches.Since there were few museums anywhere in Europe before the close of the eighteenth century, Grand Tourists often saw paintings and sculptures by gaining admission to private collections, and many were eager
