Thiswinter, New York City has been the 27 of many a snow storm. We had one acouple months ago that 28 about 15 inches of snow on the city. Luckily, that storm 29 over a weekend, so New Yorkers, who are famous for always being out and about, held themselves in their apartments, only 30 into thesnow for food. The winter has been so 31 . Just when we think spring hasfinally arrived, it starts to snow. One day, it may be 60 degrees Fahrenheit, and the next day, it may be below zero with snow and dangerous winds! Sometimes the wind and snow make it so cold and dangerous that I feel as if my heart will stop 32 when I go outside. No matter what, when there are 33 changesin weather, and certainly when there is snow, New York City subways almost always 34 run in any sort of predictable manner. Everyone I knowtakes the subway. New York has too many people and is too crowded to drive a car around the city. For myself, I have no choice but to take the subway because I cannot afford to take a taxi everywhere. So 35 , if the subway stops working, Ihave no way of getting anywhere. When it snows, New Yorkers become very angry and rude as the subway isn't running normally.答案:Listening ComprehensionSection A1、C[听力原文]W: Dear, how's your day at the office today? Did your secretary come in on time this morning?M: Well, yes, she did. In fact, she resigned today.Q: What do we know about the man's secretary?2、C[听力原文]M: For now, you see, most economists believe a recession will not strike this year.W: But, John, according to the statistical report shown inyesterday's newspaper, you can't be sooptimistic.Q: What are the speakers talking about?3、B[听力原文]M: I'd like to book two seats for King Lear for tonight, please. W: Well, I'm sorry, there is only one left for tonight. What about tomorrow?Q: What can we learn from the conversation?4、D[听力原文]W: I wish the bus would come soon. I'm freezing. Look at all the ice around us. I miss my warm room with the smell of delicious dinner.M: So do I. The wind is biting into my skin like a mad dog.Q: What are the speakers doing?5、A[听力原文]M: Excuse me, Miss. I'm an international student from China and I've never used a western library before. I wonder if someone might have time to show me around.W: I'd be glad to show you around, but I'm very busy right now.Could you come back at about 3:30?Q: What will the man probably do?6、B[听力原文]M: Beautiful! Is it one of your most affecting shots illustrating human beings?W: Well, thank you for your compliment. Yes, I'm very fond of it myself. Q: What are the speakers talking about?7、A[听力原文]W: Oh, God, I can't find my son anywhere. I've looked all over. I don't know what to do. He should have been back an hour ago.M: Don't worry. He's probably playing with a friend and forgot about the time. Let's try to call his friends.Q: What do we know about the woman's son?8、A[听力原文]M: So you are going to teach Advanced Math to students who can't count to 20 without removingtheir shoes?W: Oh, don't say that, please. It's my job and I like it.Q: What's the man's comment on the woman's students?9、C[听力原文]M: OK, Amy. Before we can find the right man for you, just tell us what kind of person you'd like to date.Don't be shy.W: Well, OK. I've never done this before. I feel kind of silly, but here goes. I guess I really like men who have a sense of humor. I love to laugh and be happy. That's the most important thing. But I don't like men who are really loud. I mean, I like men to laugh, but I don't want them to sound like donkeys. M: OK, what else?W: Oh, I like men who are intelligent and open minded. Those two things go together, don't they? Good conversations are important. I love talking about books and movies and politics. I really hate men who think they're always right. And you know, the stubborn ones who won't listen to new ideas always get into bad moods if you don't agree with them. I don't like men who are moody.M: Now, Amy, tell me about the perfect Saturday night date. W: Hmm. Well, he comes over to my place, and we cook dinner together. Then we put on some jazz, sitdown to eat and talk about important things. Of course, he offers to help with the dishes. It reallybothers me when a man won't help clean up.M: Sounds romantic. OK. The last question. Is there anything you really don't like?W: Well, sure.

When you exchange cards with others, you'll feel out of time and start at a disadvantage if your card hasn't an e mail address on it. M: I wouldn't be surprised, because, you know, it's the easiest way to communicate with other users overnetwork.W: Is it? But I was told that we must set up an e mail system on the network before we can communicate with other users. Is that true?M: Yes, it's not tough to create such a system. However, you need some hardware and software to support it.W: Let me know the hardware first.M: A computer and a line that connects your computer with Internet. W: All right. I was told that I need an account for my e mail. Where can I get it?M: You can contact an ISP, I mean an Internet Service Provider, to get an account.W: How much do I have to pay for it?M: It varies. You can also get a free e mail account if you don't have to worry too much about thesecurity of your mails. I know many people prefer free e mails and they say their correspondence through that kind of account doesn't involve commercial information needed to be strictly kept secret. You can get such a free account simply at home if you have got access to awebsite with such a service. W: It's so convenient. I may prefer thefree e mail. What about the software?M: You don't need any additional software. Just the IE, the Internet Explorer, bound with Windows, the operating system.W: Thank you so much for your help.Why is e mail so popular according to the man?13、B[听力原文]Which is the disadvantage of a free e-mail account according to the man? 14、C[听力原文]What is the necessary software to support the e-mail system? 15、D [听力原文]What will the woman probably do?Section B16、A[听力原文]The first English dictionary, called A Table Alphabeticall, was published in 1604. The dictionarywas actually nothing more than a list of about 3000 difficult words, eachfollowed by one word definition. The author, Robert Cawdrey, made no attempt to include everyday words in his dictionary. No one, he reasoned, would ever have to look up a word in a dictionary if he already knew themeaning of the word. During the 1600s, more dictionaries were published. Each followed Cawdrey's lead and presented a few thousand hard words. Around 1700, one dictionary maker, John Kersey, did define easy words as well as hard ones. But until the 1750s, all dictionaries were rather crude and not very valuable. A man named Dr. Samuel Johnson changed all this. In 1755, Dr. Johnson produced the first moderndictionary. He included in his dictionary all important sentences to show how each word was actually used in speech and writing. By the end of the 1700s, most dictionary makers had followed Johnson's lead. Dictionaries were getting better and better. The 1800s saw the greatest improvement in the quality of dictionaries. In England, scholars planned and prepared The Oxford English Dictionary, a 20 volume work. One of the most interesting features of The Oxford English Dictionary is its word histories. It traces the history of each word from its earliest recorded use up to the time of the printing of the dictionary.When was the first English dictionary published?17、C[听力原文]Who produced the first modern English dictionary?18、D[听力原文]What is one of the most interesting features of The Oxford English Dictionary?C 19、[听力原文]The United States has 7000 hospitals. These hospitals care for 40 million patients each year. The United States has 4 million doctors. These doctors take care ofthe American people. Most of these doctors are in private practice. This means that the patients pay forthe doctors' service. Health care is not provided by the government in the United States. The individuals must pay. Modern medical bills are very costly. They are often beyond the capability of the individual patient to pay. As a result,the American health system has some government help, many kinds of health insurance plans and individualpayment, which makes the American health care system a mess. An American who doesnot have health insurance is taking a great risk. If he is suddenly hospitalized, he'll find that the bill will belarge. Most companies pay some or all of their employees' health insurance. This helps the individual worker enormously. However, most health insurance has a limit. That is, after the patient has been sick for a while, his insurance may run out. Then the individual is responsible for the medical bills again. Health insurance is very complicated. The person may feel secure that his health insurance will pay the bills. After he becomes ill, he finds that the insurance only covers some of the costs. It is quite a shock to the patient.How many doctors are there in the United States?20、C[听力原文]What does it mean to the patients that most American doctors are in private practice?21、A[听力原文]What can help Americans to make sure they can pay for their medical care? 22、B[听力原文]What can we learn about American health insurance?23、A[听力原文]Helen was a very successful businesswoman. She had always liked nice clothes. And after she left school, she worked in a shop which sold clothes, not far from her home. After a fewexperiments, she showed that she was very successful in designingthe sorts of things that women wanted to buy, so after a few years, the owner of the shop, who was an old lady, offered to make her a partner. "It's something I should have done long ago," she told Helen with a smile. Helen was very pleased, of course, and when the old lady retired, Helen bought her share and became the sole owner of the shop. Now she had her independence. Ever since she started in the shop, she had had to travel around to see what attractive things her rivals in the clothestrade were producing, to attend fashion shows and so on. She had always stayed at small cheap hotels, because she dared not to spend too much money when she was saving up to buy a shop of her own. But when she at last became the owner of the shop, and it was making good profits, she found that she had plenty of money, and she felt she should now stay in the best hotels whenever she traveled. "Then the people who buy good clothes can see that your business is successful," she said, "and therefore more of them think they should buy the clothes you make."What did Helen do soon after she left school?24、C[听力原文]When did Helen become the sole owner of the shop?D 25、[听力原文]Why did Helen choose to stay in the best hotels afterwards?

So, can we get in and get going? I am dying to try out an Eskimo roll.W: All right, but there are still some other tips I have to remind you of.

Within hours of arriving in Angola, television screens around the world were filled with images of her comforting victims injured in explosions caused by landmines.The Princess concluded with a simple message: "We must stop landmines." And she used every opportunity during her visit to repeat this message. But, back in London, her views were not shared by some members of the British government, which refused to support a ban on these weapons. Angry politicians launched an attack on the Princess in the press. They described her as "very ill-informed" and a "loose cannon".Opposition parties, the media and the public immediately voiced their support for the Princess. To make matters worse for the government, it soon emerged that the Princess's trip had been approved by the Foreign Office, and thatshe was in fact very well-informed about both the situation in Angola and the British government's policy regarding landmines. The result was a severe embarrassment for the government.To try and limit the damage, both the Foreign Secretary and the Defense Secretary gave corresponding statements respectively. For the Princess, the trip to this war-tom country was an excellent opportunity to use her popularity to show the world how much destruction and suffering landmines can cause. She said that the experience had also given her the chance to get closer to people and their problems.16. Why did Princess Diana pay a visit to Angola in 1997?17、B[解析]Why did some members of the British government criticize Diana?18、B[解析]What did Princess Diana think of her visit to Angola?19、C[解析] 19-21Antarctica has nine-tenths of all the world's ice. If all this ice melted, the level of the world's oceans would rise 250 feet. Most cities along the coast would be drowned. In New York Harbor, water would almost cover the Statue of Liberty's head. But the ice in Antarctica does not melt. The temperature stays well below freezing the year round in most places. Antarctica is the coldest place on earth. The temperature there has been known to drop to more than 100 degrees below zero.Antarctica does not have much plant life. Only a few simple plants such as mosses can grow there. The climate is so harsh, and food so scare, that people cannot settle in Antarctica. But along the coasts of the continent there are many birds, fish and animals.Thousands of whales and millions of seals swim in Antarctica seas. Six kinds of seals are found. The fur seal, the smallest, has long been hunted for its silky fur. The tough-skinned elephant seal is the largest. It can weigh as much as four tons.Most of the world's whaling takes place in Antarctica waters. The blue whale is the largest animal that has ever lived.A number of birds live in Antarctica, and fly over the water and ice. Penguins are the best-known of Antarctic birds. They cannot fly, but they have flipper-wings, which make them strong swimmers.19. How much of all the world's ice does Antarctica have?20、A[解析]Which of the following statements about Antarctica is true according to the passage?21、B[解析]What do we know about the penguins in Antarctica from the passage?22、A[解析] 22-25Two hours from the tall buildings of Manhattan and Philadelphia, there live some of the world's largest black bears. They are in northern Pennsylvania's Pocono Mountains, a home they share with an abundance of other wildlife.The streams, lakes, meadows, mountain, ridges and forests that make the Pocono an ideal place for black bears have also attracted more people to the region. Open spaces are threatened by plans for housing estates and important habitats are endangered by highway construction. To protect the Pocono's natural beauty from irresponsible development, the Nature Conservancy named the area one of America's "Last Great Places".Operating out of a century-old schoolhouse in the village of Long Pond, Pennsylvania, the conservancy's officer Cook is working with local people and business leaders to balance economic growth with environmental protection. By forging partnerships with people the Conservancy has been able to protect more than 14,000 acres of environmentally important land in the area.Cook attributes the Conservancy's success in the Pocono to having a local presence and a commitment to working with local residents."The key to protecting these remarkable lands is connecting with the local community," Cook said. "The people who live there respect the land." They value quiet forests, clear streams and abundant wildlife. They are eager to help with the conservation effort.22. Which of the following animals live in northern Pennsylvania's Pocono Mountains?23、B[解析]What is the purpose in naming Pocono as one of America's "Last Great Places"?24、A[解析]How many acres of environmentally important land are there in the Pocono area?25、D[解析]What is the key to protecting environmentally important land in Pocono according to Cook?Section C26、shortly[解析] 26-36The National Health Service in Britain was set up in 1948 (26) shortly after the end of the Second World War. Its (27) aim is to provide free medical treatment for all patients who wish to take advantage of the (28) service.

(35) Whenever he is iii or needs to consult a doctor for any reason he will in every case go to see his G.P.

Parrots, crocodiles and peacocks were among the victims of temperatures that dropped as low as minus 15 degrees Celsius early Saturday morning at the Chihuahua Zoo in the city of Aldama, about an hour north of Chihuahua. The alarming number of deaths, whi ch represents about 10% of all the zoo’s animals, was the result of several compounding factors, owner Alberto Hernandez said. The zoo faced other challenges. Frozen water pipes meant that hoses couldn’t be used to fill animals’ food bowls. Warm water had to be brought in from outside, Hernandez said. Electricity was not restored until Sunday, he said. Nonetheless, the zoo opened for business as usual Monday, though Hernandez said he expected an economic hit from the loss of the animals.1. How many animals were killed due to the cold weather?2.

The heat was so intense that clothes and blankets were fused to the injured as they fled for safety. The death toll from the eruptions has now risen to about 120 and is expected to increase as rescuers pull bodies out of the ash and broken rocks.

Both the passage and the questions will be spoken only once. After you hear a question, you must choose the best answer from the four choices marked A), B), C) and D). Then mark the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 1 with a single line through the centre.Passage OneAt first glance, Esther Okade seems like a normal 10-year-old. She loves dressing up as Elsa from “Frozen”, playing with Barbie dolls and going to the park or shopping.But what makes the British-Nigerian youngster stand out is the fact that she’s also a university undergraduate.Esther, from Walsall, an industrial town in the UK’s West Midlands region, is one of the country’s youngest c ollege freshmen.The talented 10-year-old enrolled at the Open University, a UK-based distance learning college, in January and is already top of the class, having recently scored 100% in a recent exam. And in case people think her parents have pushed her into starting university early, Esther emphatically disagrees.“I actually wanted to start when I was seven. But my mum was like ‘you’re too young, calm down.’ ” After three years of begging, mother Efe finally agreed to explore the idea.Esther’s mother noticed her daughter’s talent shortly after she began homeschooling her at the age of three. Initially, Esther’s parents had enrolled her in a private school but after a few short weeks, the pair began noticing changes in the youngster.Efe says: “One day we were coming back home and she burst out into tears and said ‘I don’t ever want to go back to that school-they don’t even let me talk!’ ”Therefore, Efe started by teaching basic number skills at home, but Esther was miles ahead. By four, her natural aptitude for math had seen the eager student move on to very difficult parts.Questions 16 to 18 are based on the passage you have just heard.16. What do we know about Esther?17. What does Efe think about Esther’s early university study?18. What did Efe find after homeschooling her daughter?Passage TwoListening to music is one of the most common ways we manage our stress and emotions.When we feel tired after a long day at work, many of us like to relax by closing our eyes, and turning on our iPods. Or when we feel down after a heated argument with a boyfriend or girlfriend, we may listen to some uplifting tunes to help distract us from our anger or sadness.Even at this very moment, I’m listening to some calm instrumental rock music, because it helps me stay relaxed and focused when I’m writing.These are just some of the ways we use music to improve our psychology. And more and more research is beginning to show that music can serve a very positive function in our everyday life.In a study done by University of Gothenburg in Sweden, it was found that participants who listened to music after a stressful episode in their everyday life reported decreased levels of stress when compared to individuals who didn’t listen to music after a stressful episode.And in another study done by the same team of researchers, it was found that listening to music was an effective way to reduce a hormone commonly released when we are experiencing stress. This suggests that listening to music can have a real biological effect on our mental health.Listening to music can be a big part of art therapy, and these new studies are consistent with a growing body of research that shows the benefits of music on our stress and anxiety.Questions 19 to 21 are based on the passage you have just heard.19. Why do we listen to some uplifting music after arguing with friends?20. What was found in the study done by University of Gothenburg in Sweden?21. What is the biological effect of listening to music?Passage ThreeEven if you’ve kicked off a fitness routine and you’re choosing healthier food, you may not be seeing the weight come off the way you’d hoped. While there are plenty of other healthy accomplishments to celebrate, you’re probably wondering what’s not working.Nuts, whole wheat bread, olive oil and dark chocolate are all natural and healthy, but they aren’t void of calories. You still need to watch how much you eat of the good stuff.Skipping breakfast may seem like a great way to save calories, but keep in mind that people who eat breakfast regularly lose more weight—so make sure to eat breakfast each morning. Don’t just grab anything; include protein to give yourself sustainable energy and fiber to fill you up for hours.When it comes to a balanced diet, we know that portion control is one of the keys to success. Keep measuring cups and spoons on hand to make sure your serving sized are appropriate, and learn how to give your body the “I’m full” signal in order to help you drop the fork when the time is right and move on with your day.Standing at the fridge or the counter to swallow isn’t saving time or energy and can lead to mindless eating. It’s best to designate time for snacking and meals that are set apart from other activities.Making time for body exercise can mean less time for sleep, but it’s important to get enough sleep if you’re trying to lose weight. You need extra energy to keep up with your exercise routine, and skimping on sleep can affect your body’s ability to control its appetite.Questions 22 to 25 are based on the passage you have just heard.22. What do we know about olive oil and dark chocolate?23. What is the suggestion about having breakfast?24. What is related with portion control?25. Why is it important to get enough sleep?。

signs,called letters,which could be combined torepresent those sounds,and which could be written down.Those sounds,whether spoken,or written in letters we call words.The power of words,then,lies in their associations the things they bring up before our minds.Words become filled with meaning for us by experience,and the longer we live,the more certain words recall to us the glad and sad events of our past.Great writers are those who not only have great thoughts but express these thoughts in words which appeal powerfully to our minds and emotions.This charming and telling use of words is what we call literary style.Above all,the real poet is a master of words.He can convey his meaning in words which sing like music,and which by their position and association can move men to tears.We should therefore learn to choose our words carefully and use them accurately,or they will make our speech silly and ridiculous.Questions 11 to 13 are based on the passage you have just heard.11.What do we know about the origin of language?12.Where does the real power of words lie?13.Which of the following statements about the real poet is not true?Passage TwoToo often young people get themselves employment quite by accident,not knowing what lies in the way of opportunity for promotion,happiness and security.As a result,they are employed doing jobs that afford them little or no satisfaction.Our school graduates face so much competition that they seldom care what they do so long as they can earn a living.Some stay long at a job and learn to like it,others move from one job to another looking for something to suit them.The young graduates who leave the university look forjobs that offer a salary up to theirexpectations.Very few go out into the world knowing exactly what they want and realizing their own abilities.Nearly all search about in the darkness and their chief concern when they look for a job is to ask what the salary is like.They never bother to think whether they are suited for the job or,even more important,whether the job suits them.Having a job is more than merely providing yourself and your dependents with daily bread and some money for leisure and entertainment.It sets a pattern of life and,in many ways,determines social status in life,selection of friends,leisure and interests.In choosing a career you should first consider the type of work which will suit your interests.Nothing is more sad than taking on a job in which you have no interest,for it will not only discourage your desire to succeed in life but also waste your talents and ultimately make you an emotionally bitter person.Questions 14 to 16 are based on the passage you have just heard.14.Which of the following is the best title for this passage?15.What are graduates mainly concerned about when looking for a job?16.Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?Passage ThreeBill Grant was a famous newspaper editor in the United States.He worked for the same newspaper from 1926 to 1968..He started as a clerk in 1948.Later he became the editor.That was the position he held until he retired.Bill wrote his first story for the paper the day the New York Stock Market crashed in 1929.When the first news of the stock market crash came into the office,Bill immediately satdown and wrote up the story.The editor liked it so much that he used the story.And he didn't make any changes into it.After that the editor decided Bill should be a writer.He felt that Bill was not using his ability working as a clerk.After the first story Bill became especially interested in financial news.But he wrote stories on just about everything.In 1945 he spent 5 months in Europe.His editor had decided he should write about the end of World War II.One of Bill's greatest moments came in 1946.A story he had written on war won the National Newspaper's Award.Bill took the prize but he gave all the credit to his editor.It was just before Christmas in 1976 that he learned that he had cancer.Six months later he was dead.But he never stopped his work as an editor.The day before he died he had spent a full day at the office.Questions 17 to 20 are based on the passage you have just heard.]17.When did Bill begin working for the paper?18.Why was he made a writer for the paper?19.Which of the following statements is not true about Bill?20.How did Bill die?英语四级考试听力模拟预测题2Part Ⅰ Writing注意：此部分试题在答题卡1上。

Parrots, crocodiles and peacocks were among the victims of temperatures that dropped as low as minus 15 degrees Celsius early Saturday morning at the Chihuahua Zoo in the city of Aldama, about an hour north of Chihuahua. The alarming number of deaths, which represents about 10% of all the zoo’s animals, was the result of several compounding factors, owner Alberto Hernandez said. The zoo faced other challenges. Frozen water pipes meant that hoses couldn’t be used to fill animals’ food bowls. Warm water had to be brought in from outside, Hernandez said. Electricity was not restored until Sunday, he said. Nonetheless, the zoo opened for business as usual Monday, though Hernandez said he expected an economic hit from the loss of the animals.1. How many animals were killed due to the cold weather?2. What did the zoo’s owner do after the tragedy happened?Questions 3 and 4 will be based on the following news item.. forecasters yesterday admitted that the deadly snowstorm that has swept along the east coast w as a nasty surprise. “We’re really cursing those computer models, ” said Andrew Woodcock, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service in Sterling, Virginia. “They had the low pressure system way out to the sea. ”The storm raced north along the coast on Monday and Tuesday, leaving nearly two feet of snow in places. Many schools and businesses across the east were closed again yesterday, along with all Philadelphia city offices and courts and most Maryland state offices.3.

How long did the storm last?Questions 5 to 7 will be based on the following news item.Indonesia’s Mount Merapi has erupted with its biggest explosion in more than a century, killing at least 70 more people, burning down homes and blanketing the region in white ash. Authorities said Friday this latest in a series of eruptions over the last 11 days was the most ferocious yet. 750 - degree (Celsius) gas flowed down the mountainside in a thunderous roar. The heat was so intense that clothes and blankets were fused to the injured as they fled for safety. The death toll from the eruptions has now risen to about 120 and is expected to increase as rescuers pull bodies out of the ash and broken rocks. Volcano experts said the Friday blast was the biggest since the 1870s. With the unpredictability of the volcano, authorities widened the danger zone around the mountain to 20 kilometers.5.

What do we know about the British education system?Section CDirections: In this section, you will hear three passages. At the end of each passage, you will hear some questions. Both the passage and the questions will be spoken only once. After you hear a question, you must choose the best answer from the four choices marked A), B), C) and D). Then mark the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 1 with a single line through the centre.Passage OneAt first glance, Esther Okade seems like a normal 10-year-old. She loves dressing up as Elsa from “Frozen”, playing with Barbie dolls and going to the park or shopping.But what makes the British-Nigerian youngster stand out is the fact that she’s also a university undergraduate.Esther, from Walsall, an industrial town in the UK’s West Midlands region, is one of the country’s youngest coll ege freshmen.The talented 10-year-old enrolled at the Open University, a UK-based distance learning college, in January and is already top of the class, having recently scored 100% in a recent exam. And in case people think her parents have pushed her into starting university early, Esther emphatically disagrees.“I actually wanted to start when I was seven. But my mum was like ‘you’re too young, calm down.’ ” After three years of begging, mother Efe finally agreed to explore the idea.Esther’s mother noticed her daughter’s talent shortly after she began homeschooling her at the age of three. Initially, Esther’s parents had enrolled her in a private school but after a few short weeks, the pair began noticing changes in the youngster.Efe says: “One day we were coming back home and she burst out into tears and said ‘I don’t ever want to go back to that school-they don’t even let me talk!’ ”Therefore, Efe started by teaching basic number skills at home, but Esther was miles ahead. By four, her natural aptitude for math had seen the eager student move on to very difficult parts.Questions 16 to 18 are based on the passage you have just heard.16. What do we know about Esther?17. What does Efe think about Esther’s early university study?18. What did Efe find after homeschooling her daughter?Passage TwoListening to music is one of the most common ways we manage our stress and emotions.When we feel tired after a long day at work, many of us like to relax by closing our eyes, and turning on our iPods. Or when we feel down after a heated argument with a boyfriend or girlfriend, we may listen to some uplifting tunes to help distract us from our anger or sadness.Even at this very moment, I’m listening to some calm instrumental rock music, because it helps me stay relaxed and focused when I’m writing.These are just some of the ways we use music to improve our psychology. And more and more research is beginning to show that music can serve a very positive function in our everyday life.In a study done by University of Gothenburg in Sweden, it was found that participants who listened to music after a stressful episode in their everyday life reported decreased levels of stress when compared to individuals who didn’t listen to music after a stressful episode.And in another study done by the same team of researchers, it was found that listening to music was an effective way to reduce a hormone commonly released when we are experiencing stress. This suggests that listening to music can have a real biological effect on our mental health.Listening to music can be a big part of art therapy, and these new studies are consistent with a growing body of research that shows the benefits of music on our stress and anxiety.Questions 19 to 21 are based on the passage you have just heard.19. Why do we listen to some uplifting music after arguing with friends?20. What was found in the study done by University of Gothenburg in Sweden?21. What is the biological effect of listening to music?Passage ThreeEven if you’ve kicked off a fitness routine and you’re choosing healthier food, you may not be seeing the weight come off the way you’d hoped. While there are plenty of other healthy accomplishments to celebrate, you’re probably wondering what’s not working.Nuts, whole wheat bread, olive oil and dark chocolate are all natural and healthy, but they aren’t void of calories. You still need to watch how much you eat of the good stuff.Skipping breakfast may seem like a great way to save calories, but keep in mind that people who eat breakfast regularly lose more weight—so make sure to eat breakfast each morning. Don’t just grab anything; include protein to give yourself sustainable energy and fiber to fill you up for hours.When it comes to a balanced diet, we know that portion control is one of the keys to success. Keep measuring cups and spoons on hand to make sure your serving sized are appropriate, and learn how to give your body the “I’m full” signal in order to help you drop the fork when the time is right and move on with your day.Standing at the fridge or the counter to swallow isn’t saving time or energy and can lead to mindless eating. It’s best to designate time for snacking and meals that are set apart from other activities.Making time for body exercise can mean less ti me for sleep, but it’s important to get enough sleep if you’re trying to lose weight. You need extra energy to keep up with your exercise routine, and skimping on sleep can affect your body’s ability to control its appetite.Questions 22 to 25 are based on the passage you have just heard.22. What do we know about olive oil and dark chocolate?23. What is the suggestion about having breakfast?24. What is related with portion control?25. Why is it important to get enough sleep?。
