B [听⼒原
⽂]
W: Daniel, have you finished your research on the Globe Theatre?
M: Yeah, Lily. I found out lots of interesting stuff about the theatre.
W: Like what?
M: Well, as you know, in many ways performances today are just like the original ones.
W: But some things are different, aren't they?
M: Sure. For example, there're female actors now. In Shakespeare's time, people thought it was improper for women to act. But modern performances at the Globe still use very few props and only live sound effects. W: What do you mean? All the music and sound effects are made on stage?
M: Yeah, either on stage or behind the stage. And they don't use any microphones or recordings of sounds. The clothes are authentic, too.
W: It sounds really neat. I'd love to see a performance at the Globe some time.
M: Yeah. They sound pretty cool.
[解析] 在Lily问起Daniel研究是否已经完成时，Daniel的回答是确定的，意味着此时他的研究已经全部完成，⽽不是“需要更多时间来完成”。

故该判断错误。

2. Lily believed that there must be much difference between today's performances and the original ones in the Globe Theatre.

[解析] 在说起现代和原始演出的相似度时，Lily问“But some things are different, aren't they?”这说明Lily 认为两种演出之间必定有很多不同之处。

故该判断正确。

A
[解析] Daniel说“In Shakespeare's time, people thought it was improper for women to act.”。

莎⼠⽐亚时代⼈们认为⼥⼈演出不成体统，因此那时候⾃然不会有⼥⼈演出。

故该判断正确。

4. No live sound effects are used any more for today's performances at the Globe Theatre.
B
[解析] Daniel提到“Modern performances at the Globe still use very few props and only live sound effect s.”
说明环球剧院的现代演出是使⽤现场⾳效的。

故该判断错误
5. Performers wear authentic clothes but use very few props in today's shows at the Globe Theatre.
A
[解析] Daniel提到“Modem performances at the Globe still use very few props...”，以及“The clothes are authentic, too.”由此可知环球剧院的现代演出使⽤道具很少，演出服装也是原汁原味的。

故该判断正确。

B [听⼒原
⽂]
W: Well, welcome to meet Robert Opie. He's dedicated his whole life to his collection, most of which is housed in the Museum of Packaging and Advertising. Robert, what exactly do you collect?
M: That's very difficult to explain. It's the whole story of an enormous social revolution that's happened over the last hundred years and the main thing I'm interested in within that is the story of shopping and products and brands. I collect everything that one puts into today's shopping basket, everything that's in today's supermarket, but looking back at it over the last hundred and fifty years and the evidence of this is now the packs that have survived, the advertisements, the promotions...
W: How do you decide what to collect?
M: Urn, it can become quite tricky when I suddenly find I'm running out of money, er, because when I'm shopping, you see, first of all I go round and think, what do I need for the collection, what new products have arrived, what new designs have come along to update the previous design and then I go around and think, what am I going to eat tonight, you know, so it's mainly made up of those things and I get very disappointed when there's a product I want but I've already got the packaging, you see, because I have to wait till the next change comes along.
W: When did you begin collecting and why?
M: About the age of three, I think it was, when I found this wonderful stone in the path at home and then my mother told me it was a fossilized sea urchin. Well, that began my stone collection and then I went, like many other schoolchildren, onto other things like stamps and coins, but I was always trying to find things that other people hadn't collected. So then at the age of sixteen I suddenly thought, well, here's something, packaging, that everybody's literally throwing away and something is always happening and changing in it, so from that moment I've saved all the packages I've ever eaten the contents of.
W: Do you feel that your collecting is an obsession?
M: Er, I'm sure somewhat it is but I tend to find that I'm driven by this commitment that I'm saving the nation's heritage, even though a lot of people think that the rubbish aspect is not really someone's heritage. I have to put in a certain number of hours every day to save something which I think should be saved. You may have watched the Olympics and you see those people doing four or five hours training every day and I find that, I mean, that may be called an obsession but it's really a dedication to a particular thing and I think I'm probably dedicated in that kind of way.
[解析] 录⾳开头⼥⼠提及Robert的⼤多数收藏“is housed in the Museum of Packaging and advertising.”说明他的收藏⼤多数在博物馆⾥。

故选B项。

2. What does Robert mainly collect?
A.Products related to the Olympics.
B.Uncommon stones and rocks.
C.Rare coins and stamps.
D.The packaging of products.

[解析] Robert提到他的收藏是“the story of shopping and products and brands”同时“the evidence of this is now the packs that have survived...”由此可推断Robert的收藏与商品包装有关。

故选D项。

3. What was the first thing Robert collected?
A.An age-old shopping basket.
B.A piece of rock from space.
C.An 18th century advertisement.
D.The fossil of a sea animal.
D
[解析] Robert提到⾃⼰3岁时找到的⼀块海胆化⽯“began my stone collection”，是他收藏的开端。

因此这是Robert⼈⽣中的第⼀件收藏品。

故选D项。

4. When did Robert start collecting?
A.About three years old.
B.After his 16th birthday.
C.When he was thirteen.
D.At the age of thirty.
A
[解析] ⼥⼠问起Robert开始收藏的时间时，Robert提到他的⽯头收藏由⼀块3岁时捡到的海胆化⽯开始。

因此Robert在3岁时便开始了收藏。

故选A项。

5. What is Robert's attitude towards his collecting interest now?
A.He admits it is a rather tedious thing to do.
B.He feels it is a dedication he should continue.
C.He regrets having spent too much time on it.
D.He regards it merely as a personal hobby.
B
[解析] Robert认为他的收藏“is really a dedication to a particular thing”，同时他认为“I'm driven by this commitment that I'm saving the nation's heritage”即他认为他的收藏是⼀种“拯救这个国家的遗产”的奉献，他有必要⼀直做下去。

故选B项。

[解析] 新闻提及即使是东亚马逊的保护地区也“opened up the canopy enough to dry out the undergrowth and make it catch fire more easily.”树下⼲燥的灌⽊丛使得丛林更易着⽕。

1.
light pollution
[听⼒原⽂]
At night, look up at the sky. How many stars do you see? If you live in the country, bright stars will fill the sky. If you live in a city, on the other hand, you might not see any stars. What's happening? Bright lights from the city are lighting the sky, blocking the stars. This is light pollution.
Light can also come into city homes, like an uninvited guest. Sometimes, a visitor to a big city can't sleep because of the bright, flashing sign outside his or her window. Darkness helps us sleep. Without darkness, we lie awake losing sleep. Losing sleep can lead to serious health problems be-cause our immune systems
become weak.
Nature's beings need darkness. It's part of the natural 24-hour cycle. Trees and plants that are too close to artificial light grow in strange ways and die quickly. Animals become confused when the normal patterns of light and dark are changed. For example, birds flying to their winter homes can get lost. Also, night animals might think it's day when it's actually night.
Finally, using too many lights wastes energy and money. The huge lights for all night parking lots and gas stations are too bright and unnecessary. Every city spends millions of dollars a year to light its thousands of buildings and streets. And much of this lighting is just to make the city look attractive, rather than to provide practical use.
True, we feel safer in the light. But our eyes are able to see a little in darkness. And we don't need to light the entire city just to create an attractive night view. We should try to turn the lights down to save the Earth and its creatures from this pollution.
[解析] (录⾳中提及“Bright lights from the city are lighting the sky, blocking the stars. This is light pollution.”城市⾥的光阻挡了星光，造成了光污染。

故答案为light pollution。

)
3.
contuse
[解析] (录⾳中提及“Animals become confused when the normal patterns of light and dark are changed.”动物会被夜间的光迷惑。

)
4.
money and energy
[解析] (录⾳中提及“using too many lights wastes energy and money. The huge lights...are too bright and unnecessary.”，即太多的灯光浪费了⼤量没有必要的能源和⾦钱。

故答案为money and energy。

)
5.
reduce
[解析] (录⾳中提及“We should try to turn the lights down to save the Earth and its creatures from this pollution.”，即我们应减少灯光的使⽤。

故答案为reduce。
