You can start your essay with the sentence “Online library is becoming increasingly popular.” You should write at least 120 words but no more than 180 words.◆【参考范文】Online library is becoming increasingly popular. Nowadays, more and more people are reading books through online libraries, which has aroused a heated debate over the pros and cons. In my opinion, online libraries’ advantages have been far out-weighted over their disadvantages.Online libraries’ merits are countless. To start with, onlin e libraries can offer more readers with a wider range of books to read. People in remote villages can get access to as many books as those living in big cities. Also, online reading allows them to read anywhere at anytime convenient. Meanwhile, it can’t be neglected that online libraries could also result in the diminishing of people’s reading time since most people tend to focus for a shorter time while reading online.In summary, despite their potential shortcomings, online libraries have a number of benefits in enhancing people’s reading experience and enriching people’s spiritual life. With the constant development of information technology, I believe online libraries are bound to contribute more to our society.◆【参考译文】线上图书馆正变得越来越受欢迎。

Just as cars do.And those massive amounts of particles can cause clouds to form, get enough of those particles in one place as from the exhaust of a ship. And they can lead to the creation of new clouds easily visible from space. These clouds can be huge. Some of them stretch hundreds of kilometers from end to end. (2) NASA officials said it's likely that these sorts of clouds are having some effect on the global climate, according to NASA officials.But scientists aren't yet sure what effect it has. questions one and two are based on the news report you have just heard.Question 1What has caused the thick clouds in the photos taken by a NASA satellite? Question 2 What do NASA officials think about the thick clouds?【News report two】Staff at a suburban supermarket in Melbourne say they feel unsafe at work after security guards were removed. This came after a series of physical attacks and verbal abuse by customers.(3) More than 50 workers at the store have signed a letter calling for a permanent security guard following a series of incidents,including a customer threatening to attack a supervisor with a knife. A security worker had guard at the storm each night from seven pm until 12 am.But that had stopped suddenly on Monday, employees said. One worker said anangry customer had thrown a chicken at his head after complaining about how long she had waited to be served. Another worker said the lack of protection at the storm made her feel uncomfortable at work. (4) However, the spokesman of the supermarket said the store had taken strong action in response to incidents.We have found very few instances of bad customer behavior at our store in the past year. In the rare cases, we have seen bad behavior. We have taken strong action in response, including banning a customer from the store.Question 3 For what purpose did this staff at a supermarket in Melbourne sign a letter? Question 4What did the spokesman of the supermarkets say regarding the employees demand?【New report three】(5) Drivers on their way to the polish capital of Warsaw on Wednesday morning found the road blocked by an unusual obstacle. Tons of liquid chocolate that spilled onto the motorway.A truck carrying the sweet load hit a road barrier and overturned, blocking two lanes. (6) The cracked tank spilled a pool of a rapidly hardening chocolate, which quickly covered the width of the road, while the driver was taken to hospital with a broken arm, firefighters struggled to remove a reported 12 tons of solid chocolate from the road.(7) A representative for the firefighters told the local TV that removing the chocolate was worse than dealing with snow.After contacting the chocolate manufacturer, the firefighters resorted to spraying hot, pressurized water to get rid of the sticky substance. The local TV also noted that the cleanup spanned more than a Mile because drivers simply drove through the chocolate after the crash, leaving a long chocolate trail. But despite the sticky situation, firefighters and police attending to the cleanup were reportedly cheerful about the long task ahead. After all, who could be mad about 12 tons of chocolate?Question 5What does drivers on the motorway to Warsaw find?Question 6What does the report say about the accident?Question 7What are the firefighters representative tell the local TV?【Conversation one】M: Lisa, why did you pay for your meal with cash instead of the payment apps on your phone?W: Well, I’ve gone back to cash.

I don’t think it matters whether you take it out of the bank and put it in your wallet will simply transfer from your bank account to the seller’s bank account using an app.W: No, I believe it does matter. It’s a psychological phenomenon. [9] I believe we have less connection with the value of our money when we just have the approved buttons on our phones.M: You might have a point.Since I stopped carrying cash around and started using my phone apps to pay,[10] I may have developed a tendency to buy more small or nonessential items.W: That’s highly possible. Think about the amount of time we spend with our phones in our hands and all the things we do with our phones. It sometimes seems that our phone is buying the product for us, not ourselves.M: [11] So cashless payment affects our ability to budget?W: I believe so. If we spend a hundred yuan in cash, we realize that we don’t have that hundred yuan to spend on something else. But if we’re spending electronically, we are less likely to make that mental calculation.M: I stopped using my credit card because I found out spending excessively, perhaps I should take the same approach of paying using my phone.W: It’s worth considering.Questions 8to 11 are based on the conversation you have just heard.Question 8. Why did the woman decide to go back to cash for payment?Question 9. What happens when people use that for payment according to the woman?Question 10. What might the man tend to buy with payment apps?Question 11. What does the man think of electronic payment?【Conversation Two】W: Hello, Mr. Brown. I was expecting your call. [12] My secretary told me you were having some problems with the wooden table.Is that right?M: No,no,the table is fine. [12] The problem is the chairs.W: Oh, the chairs.So what exactly is the issue?M: Well, to put simply, these are not the chairs my wife and I selected in your store last week. There must have been some confusion with our order.W: Oh, I see.I’m looking through my files now, and I see that the delivery was this morning. Is that correct?M: Yes.W: [13] Do you mind describing the chairs that were delivered to your apartment,Mr. Brown?M: Sure. These have a flat back with a rounded top,and are very heavy—they’re light brown that look kind of cheap. The ones we ordered were dark brown to match the table. W: Right, of course.It says here you purchased the Arlington table and four Milano chairs. As you said, there must have been some confusion with the order. I’m terribly sorry. [14] We will send a van to collect those four and replace them with the Milano you purchased.Will tomorrow 9am be okay,Mr. Brown?M: Yes, that would be great. Thank you.W: Good. Did everything else you ordered from us arrive okay?M: Yes, I think so. Let me check. The mirror and two paintings are here. The two coffee tables are also here, and the sofa. Yes, we haven’t noticed anything else wrong or missing. But if we do, we will certainly let you know.W: Okay, great. [15] Once again, I’m sorry for the confusion and trouble caused. Question 12.

This method is simple in theory, but can be endlessly complex and practice. (17)You divide all the stuff in your house, all of it into several categories, and then examine each item, all of them to see if it sparks joy. If it does, you keep it. If it doesn't, you thank it and neatly discard it. So is the TV show inspiring people to tidy up? First hand accounts seem to indicate a small wave of people bringing piles of donation bags to used good stores. One store received thousands of bags of used possessions in one day. January is usually the stores slow season for donations because it's cold. And people don’t want to bother. But not this January, people seem determined to clean up their homes. (18) One used bookstore received a month’s worth of books and donations in a week,when a man gave over 50 boxes of books from his home.

Yet, Mike isn’t looking for praise but kindness in return.(20) He hopes his acts of charity will influence others to spread positive actions in their own towns.Mike includes a handwritten message of joy on each bag. His message and star power has spread all over the country. To date, his online page to raise funds has brought in more than 44,000 dollars in a county,raising more than 17,000 dollars in just one day with the help of many famous actors and others. (21) People from all over the country are sending special handcrafted bags to help the young man with his mission to help those in need.Many are hoping the simple act of kindness spreads,like is seen as hope for the future of the town, the country, and the world.Question 19:What does Mike Hannon do to help people in his town?Question 20: What does Mike hope others will do?Question 21:How are people all over country responding to what Mike is doing?【Passage Three】In a recent study carried out by psychologists on the disruptive effects of smartphones, (22)two groups of college students were given word search puzzles.First group was told to Complete the puzzles with its participants, smartphones, in their line of sight. The second group, however, was told that the phones would interfere with equipment in the experiment and would need to be moved away from the testing area. Midway through the second groups solving of the puzzles, the experiment called oneof the phones“let it ring for a while before hanging up”. (23)Many of the students in that group were unable to focus from then on, becoming anxious and performing more poorly than the first group.Use of electronics has also been known to lead to a decline in human interactions rather than having real life conversations, many express emotions and engage in deep conversations through social media sites.

Question 23:What do we learn about many of the students in the second test group after the phone rang?Question 24:According to the passage, what is the most dramatic impact of smartphone use?Question 25:What does the speaker suggest people do?【答案】1.

The speakers may express differing opinions or provide additional information to challenge the listener. Questions in this part often require test-takers to infer meaning or identify the speakers' attitudes and intentions.Part Four:The final part of the listening section features an academic lecture or a radio broadcast on a challenging subject. The speaker will use formal language and present complex ideas that may require critical thinking skills to understand. Test-takers must listen attentively and answer questions that require them to demonstrate a deeper understanding of the content.Tips for Success:To excel in the listening section of the CET Level Four test, test-takers should practice listening to various English accents, speeds, and tones. They should also work on improving their note-taking skills to capture key information during the recordings. Additionally, test-takers should familiarize themselves with academic vocabulary and common idiomatic expressions to better comprehend the challenging topics presented in the test.Conclusion:The listening section of the CET Level Four test can be challenging, but with adequate preparation and practice,test-takers can improve their listening skills and perform well on the exam. By understanding the format of the test and practicingwith sample questions, test-takers can boost their confidence and achieve a high score in the listening section.

It is designed to assess a student's ability to listen, read, write, and speak in English. The listening section of the test is particularly challenging for many students, as it requires them to comprehend spoken English at a natural pace and understand the information conveyed.In September 2020, the CET-4 listening test featured a variety of topics and question types. The test consisted of four sections, each with multiple-choice questions based on short conversations, long conversations, and academic lectures. The questions tested the students' ability to follow the main ideas, understand details, and make inferences from the audio passages.Section 1: Short ConversationsIn this section, students listened to a series of short conversations between two speakers. The conversations covered everyday topics such as making plans, giving directions, and discussing hobbies. The questions asked students to identify key information, such as the main topic of the conversation, the speakers' opinions, and the reason for their actions.Section 2: Long ConversationsThe second section featured longer dialogues between two or more speakers. The conversations revolved around more complex topics, such as academic discussions, job interviews, and social interactions. Students were required to understand the relationships between the speakers, their attitudes, and the detailed information discussed.Section 3: PassagesIn this section, students listened to academic lectures or presentations on various subjects, such as history, science, and culture. The passages were more challenging, as they contained specialized vocabulary and complex ideas. Students had to grasp the main concepts, interpret the speaker's tone and attitude, and infer the implied meaning of the content.Section 4: Extended TalkThe final section consisted of a longer lecture or presentation on a specific topic. Students had to listen attentively to the speaker's arguments, examples, and explanations and answer questions based on the content. This section tested the students' ability to follow a sustained argument, analyze information, and draw conclusions.Conclusion:The September 2020 CET-4 listening test was a rigorous assessment of students' listening comprehension skills in English. It tested their ability to understand spoken English across a range of topics and question types. To perform well on the test, students needed to practice listening to English audio materials regularly, improve their ability to recognize key information, and develop strategies for understanding complex passages. With diligent preparation and a positive mindset, students can overcome the challenges of the CET-4 listening test and achieve success in their English language learning journey.篇3College English Test (CET-4) is a large-scale English language test for college students in China. It is held twice a year, in Juneand December. The September 2020 CET-4 exam is one of the most important exams for Chinese college students, as it tests their ability to listen, read, write, and speak in English.The listening section of the exam is particularly challenging for many students. It requires them to listen to a series of recordings and answer multiple-choice questions based on what they hear. The questions cover a variety of topics, such as academic lectures, conversations between students, and news reports. Students must listen carefully and pay attention to both the main ideas and specific details in order to choose the correct answers.One of the key skills students need to succeed in the listening section is the ability to quickly infer information from context. Since the recordings are fast-paced and often contain unfamiliar vocabulary, students need to be able to make educated guesses about the meaning of certain words or phrases based on the overall context of the conversation or lecture.To prepare for the listening section of the CET-4 exam, students can take advantage of a variety of resources, such as practice tests, audio recordings, and study guides. They can also practice listening to English-language podcasts, TV shows, andmovies to improve their listening skills and become more familiar with different accents and speech patterns.Overall, the September 2020 CET-4 exam is a significant event for Chinese college students who are looking to improve their English proficiency and enhance their academic and professional opportunities. By preparing thoroughly and focusing on developing their listening skills, students can increase their chances of success on this important exam.。

Imagine that this drug were simple to make, safe to take, and could be had for free. The nation's leading pediatricians (儿科医生)say this miracle compound exists. In a new conical report, they are urging doctors to prescribe it liberally to the children in their care.“This may seem old-fashioned, but there are skills to be learned when kids aren't told what to do,” said Dr. Michael Yogman, a Harvard Medical School pediatrician who led the drafting of the call to arms. Wheth er it’s rough physical play, outdoor play or pretend play, kids derive important lessons from the chance to make things up as they go, he said.The advice, issued Monday by the American Academy of Pediatrics, may come as a shock to some parents. After spending years fretting (烦恼)over which toys to buy, which apps to download and which skill-building programs to send their kids to after school, letting them simply play — or better yet，playing with them — couldseem like a step ba ckward. The pediatricians insist that it’s not. The academy's guidance does not include specific recommendations for the dosing of play. Instead, it asks doctors to advise parents before their babies turn two that play is essential to healthy development.“Play is not silly behavior,n the academy's report declares. It fosters children’s creativity, cooperation, and problem-solving skills—all of which are critical for a 21st-century workforce. When parents engage in play with their children, it builds a wall against the harmful effects of all kinds of stress, including poverty, the academy says. In the pediatricians' view, essentially every life skill that's valued in adultsincreased physical activity are just some of the skills and benefits children gain through play,M they wrote. The pediatricians' appeal comes as kids are being squeezed by increasing academic demands at school and the constant invasion of digital media.The trends have been a long time coming. Between 1981 and 1997, detailed time-use studies showed that the time children spent at play declined by 25 percent. Since the adoption of sweeping education reforms in 2001，public schools have steadily increased the amount of time devoted to preparing for standardized tests. The focus on academic u skills and drillsn has cut deeply into recess (课间休息)and other time for free play.By 2009, a study of Los Angeles kindergarten classrooms found that five-year-olds were so burdened with academic requirements that they were down to an average of just 19 minutes per day of u choice time/* when they were permitted to play freely with blocks, toys or other children. One in four Los Angeles teachers reported there was no time at all for u free play. ’’ Increased academic pressures have left 30 percent of U. S. kindergarten classes without any recess. Such findings prompted the American Academyof Pediatrics to issue a policy statement in 2013 on the <4crucial role of recess in school. ”Pediatricians aren't the only ones who have noticed. In a report titled uCrisis in the Kindergarten,M a group of educators, health professionals and child advocates called the loss of play in early childhood “a tragedy, both for the children themselves and for our nation and the world. ’’ Kids in play-based kindergartens 44 end up equally good or better at reading and other intellectual skills, and they are more likely to become well-adjusted healthy people, the Alliance for Childhood said in 2009. Indeed, new research demonstrates why playing with blocks might have been time better spent, Yogman said. The trial assessed the effectiveness of an early mathematics intervention(干预)aimed at preschoolers. The results showed almost no gains in math achievement.Another playtime thief：the growing proportion of kids* time spent in front of screens and digital devices, even among preschoolers. Last year, Common Sense Media reported that children up through age eight spent an average of two hours and 19 minutes in front of screens each day, including an average of 42 minutes a day for those under two. This increase of digital use comes with rising risks of obesity, sleep deprivation and cognitive(认知的)，language and social-emotional delays, the American Academy of Pediatrics warned in 2016.“I respect that parents have busy lives and it’s easy to hand a child an iPhone，” Yogman said. “But there's a cost to that. For young children, it’s much too passive. And kids really learn better when they're actively engaged and have to really discover things. ”The decline of play is a special hazard for the roughly 1 in 5 children in the United States who live in poverty. These 14 million children most urgently need to develop the resilience (韧劲)that is cultivated with play.Instead, Yogman said, they are disproportionately affected by some of the trends that are making play scarce: academic pressures at schools that need to improve test scores, outside play areas that are limited or unsafe, and parents who lack the time or energy to share in playtime.Yogman also worries about the pressures that squeez e playtime for more affluent kids. “The notion that as parents we need to schedule every minute of their time is not doing them a great service,M he said. Even well-meaning parents may be u robbing them of the opportunity to have that joy of discovery and curiosity — the opportunity to find things out on their own. ’’Play may not be a hard sell to kids. But UCLA pediatrician Carlos Lemer acknowledged that the pediatricians' new prescription may meet with skepticism (fl;疑)from parents, who are anxious for advice on how to give their kids a leg up in the world. They should welcome the simplicity of the message, Lerner said. “It’s liberating to be ableto offer them this advice: that you spending time with your child and letting him play is one of the most valuable things you can do,” he said. “It doesn*t have to involve spending a lot of money or time, or joining a parenting group. It’s something we can offer that’s achievable. They just don’t recognize it right now as particularly valuable. ’’Increased use of digital devices steals away children’s playtime.Since the beginning of this century, an increasing amount of time has been shifted in public schools from recess to academic activities.It has been acknowledged that while kids may welcome pediatricians’ recommendation, their parents may doubt its feasibility.According to some professionals, deprivation of young children's playtime will do harm not only to children themselves but to the country and the world.By playing with children, parents can prevent them from being harmed by stress.Playing with digital devices discourages kids from active discovery, according to pediatrician Dr. Michael Yogman. The suggestion of letting children simply play may sound like going backwards to paients who want to help build their children's skills.Dr. Michael Yogman believes the idea that parents should carefully schedule children's time may not be helpful to their growth.One quarter of teachers in an American city said that children in kindergartens had no time for playing freely. According to a pediatrician, no matter what kind of play children engage in, they are learning how to create things.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 oil the following passage.Americans spend billions of dollars each year trying to change their weight with diets, gym memberships and plastic surgery.Trying to live up to the images of uperfectn models and movie heroes has a dark side：anxiety, depression, aswell as unhealthy strategies for weight loss or muscle gain. It also has a financial cost. Havingan eating disorder boosts annual health care costs by nearly US $ 2, 000 per person.Why is there both external and internal pressure to look “perfect”？One reason is that society rewards people who are thin and healthy-looking. Researchers have shown that body mass index is related to wages and income. Especially for women，there is a clear penalty at work for being overweight or obese. Some studies have also found an impact for men，though a less noticeable one.While the research literature is clear that labor market success is partly based on how employers and customers perceive your body image, no one had explored the other side of the question. Does a person's own perception of body image matter to earnings and other indicators of success in the workplace?Our recently published study answered this question by tracking a large national random sample of Americans over a critical time period when bodies change from teenage shape into adult form and when people build their identities.As in other research, women in our sample tend to over-perceivc their weight they thinkthey're heavier than they are 一while men tend to under-perceive theirs.We found no relationship between the average person's self-perception of weight and labor market outcomes, although self-perceived weight can influence self-esteem (自尊心),mental health and health behaviors. While the continued gender penalty in the labor market is frustrating, our finding that misperceived weight does not harm workers is more heartening.Since employers’ perception of weight is what matters in the labor market, changing discrimination laws to include body type as a category would help. Michigan is the only state that prohibits discrimination on the basis of weight and height. We believe expanding such protections would make the labor market more fair and efficient.What does the author say may have an adverse impact on people?Undergoing plastic surgeries in pursuit of beauty.Imitating the lifestyles of heroes and role models.Striving to achieve perfection regardless of financial cost.Attempting to meet society's expectation of appearance.What have researchers found out about people's earnings?They are closely related to people's social status.They have to do with people's body weight and shape.They seem to matter much less to men than to women.They may not be equal to people's contributions.What does the author's recent study focus on?Previous literature on indicators of competitiveness in the workplace.Traits that matter most in one’s pursuit of success in the labor market.Whether self-perception of body image impacts one's workplace success.How bosses' perception of body image impacts employees* advancement.What is the finding of the author’s recent research?Being overweight actually does not do much harm to the overall well-being of employees.People are not adversely affected in the workplace by false self-perception of body weight.Self-esteem helps to combat gender inequality in the workplace.Gender inequality continues to frustrate a lot of female employees.What does the author think would help improve the situation in the labor market?Banning discrimination on the basis of employees* body image.Expanding protection of women against gender discrimination.Helping employees change their own perception of beauty.Excluding body shape as a category in the labor contract.Passage TwoQuestions 51 to 55 are based on the following passage.The work-life balance is dead. By this, I’m not advocating that you should give up your pursuit of having a fulfilling career and a thriving personal life, and Fm definitely not saying that you have to give up one to have theother. I also acknowledge that we have a work-life problem, but Fm arguing that the concept of balance has never been helpful, because it*s too limiting. You see, our language makes a difference, andhow we refer to things matters because it affects our thinking and therefore our actions.At the minimum, most of us work because we want to be able to support ourselves, our families, and the people around us. In the ideal world, we’re all doing work that we*re proud of and that provides meaning and purpose to us. But even if your job doesn't give you shivers of joy each new day, working is a part of what each of us does and the contribution we make to society.When you separate work and life, it’s a little bit harder to make that connection. But when you think of work as part of a full life and a complete experience, it becomes easier to see that success in one aspect often supports another. Losing your balance and falling isn*t pleasant. A goal to balance suggests that things could quickly get off balance, and that causes terrible outcomes. It’s more constructive to think of solutions that continue to evolve over shifts in life and work. Rather than falling or failing, you may have good days or better days or not-so-good days. These variations are normal, and it’s more useful to think of life as something that is ever evolving and.changing, rather than a high-risk enterprise where things could go wrong with one misstep.How we talk to ourselves matters, and how we talk about issues makes a difference. Let’s bury ** work-life balancen and think bigger and better about work-life fulfillment to do a little less balancing and a lot more living.What does the author suggest by saying “The work-life balance is deadThe hope of achieving a thriving life is impossible to realize.The pursuit of a fulfilling career involves personal sacrifice.The imbalance between work and life simply doesn't exist anymore.The concept of work-life balance contributes little to a fulfilling life.What does the author say about our use of language?It impacts how we think and behave.It changes with the passage of time.It reflects how we communicate.It differs from person to person.What does the author say we do in an ideal world?We do work that betters the lives of our families and friends.We do work that give us bursts of joy each new day.We do meaningful work that contributes to society.We do demanding work that brings our capacity into full play.What does the author say about life?It is cyclical.It is dynamic.What does the author advise us to do?Make life as simple as possible.Talk about balance in simpler terms.It is fulfilling.It is risky.Balance life and work in a new way,Strive for a more fulfilling life.Part IV Translation (30 minutes)Directions: For this part，you are allowed 30 minutes to translate a passage from Chinese into English. You should write your answer on Answer Sheet 2.茶拥有5000年的历史。

2020年最新的大学英语四级听力技巧分享.docx
2020 年最新的大学英语四级听力技巧分享在英语四级考试中，听力占据着很大的比重，然而近些年来有些地方陆续取消了听力教学，这使得刚步入大学的同学为听力而苦恼，别担心接下来就是一些关于听力的干货!一起跟着小编来看一下吧。
一、调整心理状态心理状态就是一个人的心情。
心情的好坏，会直接地影响我们工作、学习的效果。
二、注意辨别近音同音、近音词句一样。
在英语语言中也有许多单词读音很接近。
它们在被读出时，很容易对考生造成干扰，使你产生多余的联想。
另外，在对所提问题设定的选项中，通常会出现与听力材料中读音接近的单词，作为对原句中音或义的干扰。
比如： W: I've got to buy a new car.M: Really?Q: What does the woman mean? 选项： A) She purchased a car recently.B) She knew the car was in the lot.C) She always forgets to clean her car.D) She really needs a new car. 可以看出， B) 项中的 knew 是对原文中 new 的近音干扰， C)项中的 forget 是对 have got to 的近音干扰。
因此，在遇到这类题时应要求考生要仔细，不要一看到干扰项就立即作出选择，从而中了题设陷阱。
三、要做必要记录同学们对于记忆的培养很重要。
记有两种形式，一是用脑记，二用手记。
人的脑力是有时间局限的，超出一定的时间，信息就会弱化，甚至消失。
因此，训练作笔录能力大有好处。
在听较长的信息时，一边脑记并去理解，一边还要做笔录，只有这样，才能有效地理解和判断。
如果没有记住关键内容，所做的判断当然无凭无据，正确性就会大打扣。
四、快速浏览选项考生要切记。
对付一切听力考试都行之有效的做法是快速浏览选择项并提炼信息点，再去找选项间的联系点。

Another worker said the1ack of protection at the store made her feel uncomfortable at work.However，the spokesman of the supermarket said the store had taken strong action in response to incidents，“We have found very few instances of bad customer behavior at our store in the past year. In the rare cases we have seen bad behavior，we have taken strong action in response，including banning a customer from the store.Q3：For what purpose，did the staff at the supermarket in Melbourne sign a letter?Q4：What did the spokesman of the supermarket say，regarding the employees' demand?New Report3Drivers on their way to the polish capital of Warsaw on Wednesday morning found the road blocked by an unusual obstacle.Tons of liquid chocolate that spi1ledon to the motorway，6.a truck carrying the sweet load hit a road barrier and overturned，blocking two lanes.The cracked tank spi11ed a pool of rapidly hardening chocolate， which quick 1y covered the width of the road， while the driver was taken to hospital with a broken arm，firefighters struggled to remove a reported 12 tons of solid chocolate from the road.7.A representative for the firefighters told the local TV that removing the chocolate was worse than dealing with snow. After contacting the chocolate manufacturer，the firefighters resorted to spraying hot， pressurized water to get rid of the sticky substance. The 1ocal TV also noted that the cleanup spanned more than a mile，becausedrivers simply drove through the chocolate after the crash，1eaving along Chocolate trail. But despite the sticky situation，firefighters and police attending to the cleanup were reportedly cheerful about the 1ong task ahead.After all，who could be mad about12tons of chocolate?Q5： What did drivers on the motorway to Warsaw find?Q6： What does the report say about the accident?Q7： What did the firefighters representative tell the 1ocal TV?Section BConversation 1Man：Lisa， why did you pay for you meal with cash instead of the payment apps on your phone?Woman：We11, I’ve gone back to cash.I'm only using payment apps If that’s the only option.I’m trying to save money for a new phone，and I find that using cash rather than payment apps helps me to save.Man：But how? Money is money，isn’t it? I don’t think it matters whether you take it out to the bank and put it into wallet，or simply transfer from your bank account to the sellers’ bank account using an app.Woman：No，I believe it does matter.It’s a psychological phenomenon.I believe we have less connection with a value of our money，when we just tap the approve buttons on our phones.Man：You might have a point， since I stop carrying cash around，and start to using my phone apps to pay，I may have developed a tendency to buy more small or non-essential items.Woman：That’s highly possible，think about the amount of time we spend with our phones in our hands，and all the things we do with our phones. It sometimes seems that our phone is buying the product for us，not ourselves.Man：So，cash is the payment affects our ability to budget?Woman：I believe so.If we spend a hundred Yuan in cash，we realize that we don’t have that hundred Yuan to spend on something else. But if We spend in electronically，we’re less 1ikely to make that mental calculation.Man：I stopped using my credit card because I'm fond of spending excessively. Perhaps I should take the same approach of paying using my phone.Woman：It’s worth considering.Q8：Why did the woman decide to go back to cash for payment?Q9：what happens when people use apps for payment according to the woman?Q10：what might the man tend to buy with payment apps?Q11：what does the man think of electronic payment?Conversation 2W：Hello Mr.Brown.I was expecting your ca11. My secretary told me you were having some problems with the wooden table，is that right?M：No，no，the table is fine.The problem is the chairs.W：Oh，the chairs，so，what exactly is the issue?M：We11，put simply，these are not the chairs my wife and I selected in your store 1ast week.There must be some confusion with our order.W：Oh，I see.I’m looking through my files now.And I see that the delivery was this morning. Is that correct?M：Yes.W：Do you mind describing the chairs that were delivered to your apartment，Mr.Brow?M：Sure.These have a flat back with around top and are very heavy. They are 1ightbrownand1ookkind of cheap.The ones we ordered were darkbrown to match the table.W：Right. Of course.It says here you purchased the Ar1ington table and four Milan chairs.As you said. There must be some confusion with the order. I'm terribly sorry. We’11 send a van to collect those four and replace them with the Milan you purchased. Wi11 tomorrow 9 a.m be OK Mr.Brown?M：Yes. That would be great.Thank you.W：Good. Did everything e1se you ordered from us arrive OK?M：Yes.I think so.Let me check.The mirror and two paintings are here. The two coffee tables are also here. And the sofa. Yes. We haven’t noticed anything e1se wrong or missing. But if we do，we’11 certainly let you know.W：OK. Great. Once again. I'm sorry for the confusion and troub1e caused.Q12：Why did the man call the woman?Q13：What did the woman ask the man to do?Q14：What did the woman promise to do for the man?Q15：What did the woman do at the end of the conversation? The woman apologized again.Section CPassage 1Do you have too much stuff? Are you dare we say it“untidy”? Say he1lo to a TV show cal1ed“Tidying Up with Marie Kondo”. A home improvement show based on her widely popular book The Life Changing Magic of Tidying Up.In the show， Marie Kondo acts a satiny garbage fairy for messy people，visiting their houses to share the wisdom of the"KonMarie"method.This method issimp1ein theory but can be endlessly complex in practice.You divide all the stuff in your house-all of it-into several categories，and then examine each item-all of them-to see if its parks joy. Ifit does，you keep it.If it doesn't，you thank it，and neat1y discard it.So，is the TV show inspiring people to tidy up? Firsthand accounts seem to indicate a sma11 wave of people bringing piles of donation bags To used good stores. One store received thousands of bags of used possessions in one day. January is usually the store’s slow season for donations，because it's cold and people don't want to bother.But not this January. People seemed determined to clean up their homes. One used bookstore received a month's worth of books in donations in a week when a man gave over 50 boxes of books from his home. It seems Marie’s TV show is having a big impact after a11.Q16:What is Maire Kondo’s TV show about?Q17:What things can be kept in one’s home， according to Maire Kondo?Q18:What dowe1earn about one used bookstore this January?Passage 2At just twelve years old， Mike Hannon is making a difference in his community-one 1unch at a time.“Mike’s Lunches of Love”has fed more than 2,000 of the town’s most vulnerable residents. Mike delivers mea1s to the homeless.“It's 1ike a way to give peop1e joy， maybe spark something in them that can change them，Mike told WBZ-TV. The mayor of Mike's town feels that Mike is a great community 1eader， especially in such times of so much negative news. While his father commented on how proud he was of his son，yet Mike is n't1ooking for praise，but kindness in return. He hopes his active charity will influence others to spread positive actions in the i row towns. Mike inc1udes a handwritten message of joy on each bag. His message and star power has spread allover the country. To date，his online page to raise funds has brought in more than 44,000 dollars and counting，raising more than 17,000 dollars in just one day，with the hope of many famous actors and others. People from all over the county are sending special handcraft bags to help the young man with his mission to help those in need. Many are hoping the simple active kindness spreads. Mike is seemed as the hope for the future of the town，the country and the wor1d.Q19：What does Mike Hannon do to help people in his town?Q20：What does like hope others wi11 do?Q21：How are people all over the country responding to what like is doing?Passage 3In a recent study carried out by psychologists on the disruptive effects of smart phones，two groups of college students were given word-search puzzles. The first group was told to complete the puzzles with its participants’smartphones in their line of sight. The second group，however，was told that the phones would interfere with the equipment in the experiment and would need be moved away from the testing area. Midway through the second group's solving of the puzzles，the experiment called one of the phones and let it ring for awhile before hanging up. Many of the students in that group were unable to focus from then on，becoming anxious and performing more poorly than the first group.Use of electronics has also been known to lead to a decline in human interactions.Rather than having real-1ife conversations，many express emotions and engage in deep conversations through social media sites. Many Students use their phones and computers during c1assfor non-academic activities，which leads to poor grades. Perhaps the most dramatic impact is the reduction in amount of sleep，which 1eadtopoor health and weight gain.Technology is a great too 1.However， it's important to recognize itsck of sleep，reduction of productivity，and weight gain are only a few.If we are not careful about all these mind problems right now，the effect on the future generation is going to be much bigger.Q22： What were the college students in both groups required to do in the study?Q23： What do we learn about many of the students in the second test group after the phone ring?Q24： According to the passage，what is the most dramatic impact of smartphone use?Q25： What does the speaker suggest people do?。
