听力原文:W: Mr. Green, is it fair to say that negotiation is an art?M: Well, I think it’s both an art and science. You can prepare for a negotiation quite scientifically, but the execution of the negotiation has quite a lot to do with one’s artistic quality. The scientific part of a negotiation is in determining your strategy. What do you want out of it? What can you give? Then of course there are tactics. How do you go about it? Do you take an opening position in a negotiation which differs from the eventual goal you are heading for? And then of course there are the behavioral aspects.W: What do you mean by the behavioral aspects?M: Well, that’s I think where the art comes in. In your behavior, you can either be an actor. You can pretend that you don’t like things which you are actually quite pleased about. Or you can pretend to like things which you are quite happy to do without. Or you can be the honest type negotiator who’s known to his partners in negotiation and always plays everything straight. But the artistic part of negotiation I think has to do with responding immediately to cues one gets in the process of negotiation. These can be verbal cues or even body language. This is where the artistic quality comes in.W: So really, you see two types of negotiator then, the actor or the honest one.M: That’right. And both can work. I would say the honest negotiator can be quite effective in some circumstances. In other circumstances you need an actor.Questions 5 to 8 are based on the conversation you have just heard.5. When is a scientific approach best embodied in a negotiation according to the man?6. In what way is a negotiator like an actor according to the man?7. What is the artistic part of negotiation according to the man?8. What does the man say about the two types of negotiator?
5.
A.In giving concessions.
B.In the concluding part.
C.In stating your terms.
D.In the preparatory phase.

Section B
听力原文: A scientific team is studying the thinking ability of eleven and half month old children. The test is a simple one. The baby watches a sort of show on a small stage. In Act One of the show, a yellow cube is lifted from a blue box, and moved across the stage. Then it is returned to the box. This is repeated 6 times. Act Two is similar except that the yellow cube is smaller. Baby boys do not react at all to the difference and the size of the cube. But girls immediately become excited. The scientists interpret the girls’ excitement as meaning they are trying to understand what they have just seen. They are wondering why Act Two is odd and how it differs from Act One. In other words, the little girls are reasoning. This experiment certainly does not definitely prove that girls start to reason before boys, but it provides a clue that scientists would like to study more carefully. Already it is known that bones, muscles and nerves develop faster in baby girls. Perhaps it is early nerve development that makes some infant girls show more intelligence than infant boys. Scientists have also found that nature seems to give another boost to girls. Baby girls usually talk at an earlier age than boys do. Scientists think that there is a physical reason for this. They believe that the nerve endings in the left side of the brain develop faster in girls than in boys, and it is this side of the brain that strongly influences an individual’s ability to use language and remember things.Questions 9 to 12 are based on the passage you have just heard.9. What is the difference between Act One and Act Two in the test?10. How do the scientists interpret their observation from the experiment?11. What does
the speaker say about the experiment?12. According to scientists, what is another advantage given to girls by nature?
9.
A.The shape of the cubes used.
B.The size of the objects shown.
C.The number of times of repeating the process.
D.The weight of the boxes moving across the stage.

听力原文: A superintendent of the city municipal building, Dillia Adorno, was responsible for presenting its new security plan to the public. City employees, citizens and reporters gathered in the hall to hear her describe the plan. After outlining the main points she would cover, she assured the audience that she would be happy to answer questions at the end of her presentation. Dillia realized the plan was expensive and potentially controversial. So she was not surprised to see a number of hands go up as soon as she finished speaking. An employ asked, ‘‘Would the new system create long lines to get into the building like the line in the airport security checks?’’ Dillia had anticipated this question and had an answer ready. After repeating the question, she explained that the sufficient number of security guards would be working at peak
hours to speed things along. The next question was more confrontational. ‘‘Where was the money come from to pay for all of this?’’ The journalists who ask the question seem hostile. But Dillia was careful not to adopt the defensive tone. She stated that the money would come from the city’s general budget. ‘‘I know these are tide times’’, she added, ‘‘But everyone agrees on the importance of safe guarding our employees and members of the public who come into the building. ‘‘Near the end of the 25 minutes she has set, Dillia said she would take two more questions. When those were finished, she concluded the session with a brief restatement of how the new system will improve security and peace of mind in the municipal building.Questions 13 to 15 are based on the passage you have just heard.13.

Section C
听力原文:Moderator: Hello ladies and gentleman, it gives me great pleasure to introduce our keynote speaker for today’s session, Richard Weissbourd. Richard Weissbourd is the lead author of the report called ‘‘Turning the Tide,’’and he’s a senior lecturer at the Harvard Graduate School of Education. Richard Weissbourd, thank you very much for joining us.Richard Weissbourd: Thank you for that introduction. It’s my pleasure to share the report ‘‘Turning the Tide’’with you here. As far as I know, many high school seniors have finished college applications. And now they’re waiting to find out whether taking advanced courses, prepping for entrance exams and agonizing over essays will all pay off. A new report from the Harvard Graduate School of Education calls on colleges to lower the pressure on students to impress admissions committees by accumulating achievements and awards. The report, called ‘‘Turning the Tide,’’recommends limiting the number of advanced placement classes and extracurricular activities that students can list on applications. Instead, it emphasizes community service and other changes. I think one of the things that the students are very focused on is creating-accumulating extracurricular activities, accumulating A. P. Courses. It’s fine. It’s totally appropriate to list a couple, two or three extracurricular activities that have been meaningful to you and to describe why they’re meaningful to you. We’re not looking for long lists of activities either. And what the admission deans who have endorsed this report- over 50 admission deans have endorsed it—what they’re saying is, you know, you’re not going to be penalized if you take a lot of A. P. courses, but you don’t need to. You’re not going to be penalized if you take a few A. P. courses. And the message we’re trying to send here is that the goal isn’t long brag sheets. The goal is meaningful academic engagement and spirited, passionate learning, and it’s meaningful ethical engagement. It’s being involved in your community, concern for others, concern for the greater good, for the public good. And one of the things about community service and community engagement is, if students have authentic choices, and it’s well-structured, well-supervised, they have time for reflection with adults and with peers, even if it’s mandatory, it tends to be helpful and it often is transformative. It’s a powerful learning experience. So you might even do it for the wrong reason, but end up getting a lot of benefit from it. Actually, to engage in the kind of community service is not a sort of pressure on students. We’re not mandating somebody to do community service, we just encourage it. It is about doing something meaningful, doing something in a diverse group, doing it for a year, nine months to a
year, doing it for a sustained period of time.16. What does the introduction say about Richard Weissbourd?17. What is the purpose of the report from the Harvard Graduate School of Education?18. How many admission deans have endorsed the report?19. What does Richard Weissbourd think of community service?

听力原文:In the United States, a company is working on a project that could change the way we think about public transportation. Its planned system would move people around in steel tubes. Those passengers would be traveling at speeds of up to 1,200 kilometers per hour. The futuristic steel tube transportation system is called Hyperloop. Workers plan to test the system next year in a specially built community called Quay Valley. The town will be powered entirely by energy from the sun. The Hyperloop transport system is the idea of businessman Elon Musk. Dirk Ahlborn is head of Hyper-loop Transportation Technologies. He says his company has taken Mr. Musk’s idea and is developing a system that will be safe, environmentally friendly and fast. ‘‘It’s 100 percent solar powered...we’re not going to get up to 760 miles per hour, but we believe we can actually break the records that are existing right now. ‘‘This means that a four-hour drive from Los Angeles, California to Las Vegas, Nevada, could someday take only 30 minutes by Hyperloop. The system involves a series of capsules that float inside a long tube. These containers would not need to travel along a pathway or track. The system has been designed to operate above or below ground. ‘‘Inside the tube you create a low pressure environment very similar to an airplane that’s at high altitudes. So now the capsule travelling inside the tube doesn’t encounter as much resistance, and therefore can travel really fast with very little energy. ‘‘Dick Ahlborn and his company will use an eight-kilometer track in Quay Valley to find the best way to set up passenger traffic and repair capsules. A larger system will cost an estimated six to $ 10 billion to build. If Mr. Ahlborn and his company succeed, we may one day see these very fast Hyperloop capsules speeding through tubes around the world.20. What can we learn about Hyperloop?21. What are the characteristics of Hyperloop?22. Where has the system been designed to operate?

听力原文:Dogs are very mindful of sound. When dog owners shout or speak in a strong, harsh voice, dogs often act guilty and quietly move away from the area. Recently, researchers found that dogs can look at our faces, and tell the difference between a smile and a frown. The animals were able to recognize a look of approval from one of disapproval. Researchers at the University of Veterinary Medicine, Vienna performed a series of experiments. They taught dogs to recognize facial expressions. They showed the dogs two pictures of either the upper or lower half of a persons face. On one picture, the person looked happy. The other appeared angry. The dogs were then shown images of the eyes or mouths of people they had never seen before. They were also shown the left half of the faces used in training. Corsin Muller led the study. ‘‘We were essentially speaking, do they realize that smiling eyes have the same meaning as a smiling mouth, or angry eyes have the same meaning as an angry mouth? And it turned out that they really did perform very well in these probe trials. Once they had learned the initial discrimination, they could spontaneously, immediately choose the correct one also in the probe trials with the normal stimuli. ‘‘Once the dogs learned to recognize which image was happy or angry, they could easily identify the same expressions in pictures of any face. Corsin Muller says future studies will try to show whether dogs can learn the meaning of facial expressions—for example, whether a frown shows that someone is angry. ‘‘What we can say with our study is that they can discriminate them, that they can tell these ones are different. But what we cannot be sure of at this point is what exact meaning they are associating with these different expressions. ‘‘‘‘Seems of course likely that they would associate some positive meaning with the smiley face
and they would associate some rather negative meaning with the angry face. But what exactly they are associating with these expressions we cannot know at this point. ‘‘In the experiments, researchers found the dogs were slower to link a reward, or prize, with recognition of the angry face. This suggested that dogs had an idea people with angry faces were best avoided. Corsin Muller says canine investigators are also interested in finding out whether wild wolves can be trained to recognize human facial expressions. The researchers’findings were published in the journal Current Biology. They provide the first solid evidence that humans are not the only species that can read the body language of another species.23. What does a dog do when its owner shouts at it?24. What is the purpose of the experiments made at the University of Veterinary Medicine?25 . What is the significance of the researcher’s findings?
