W: I hear you did some serious shopping this past weekend.M: Yeah, the speakers of my old stereo finally gave out and there was no way to repair them.Q: What did the man do over the weekend?Conversation OneW: Now, could you tell me where the idea for the business first came from?M: Well, the original shop was opened by a retired printer by the name of Gruby. Mr Gruby being left-handed himself, thought of the idea to try to promote a few products for left-handers.W: And how did he then go about actually setting up the business?M: Well, he looked for any left-handed products that might already be on the market which were very few. And then contacted the manufactures with the idea of having products produced for him, mainly in the scissors range to start with.W: Right.

We would like to run the campaign for four extra weeks.W: well, can we summarize the problem from my point of view? First of all, the campaign was late. It missed two important trade affairs. The ads also did not appear into key magazines. As a result, the campaign failed. Do you accept that summary of what happened?M: well, the delay wasn’t entirely our fault. You did in fact make late changes to the specifications of the advertisements.W: Uh, actually, you were late with the initial proposals so you have very little time and in fact, we only asked for small changes.M: Well whatever, can we repeat our offer to run the campaign for 4 extra weeks?W: That’s not really the point. The campaign missed two key trade affairs. Because of this, we are asking you either to repeat the campaign next year for free, or we only pay 50% of the fee for this year.M: Could we suggest a 20% reduction to the fee together with the four week sustention to the campaign.W: We are not happy. We lost business.M: I think we both made mistakes. The responsibility is on both sides.W: Ok, let’s suggest a new solution. How about a 40% cut in fee, or a free repeat campaign?M: Well, let’s take a break, we’re not getting very far. Perhaps we should think about this.22: What do we learn about the man’s company?23: Why was the campaign delayed according to the man?24: What does the woman propose as a solution to the problem?25: What does the man suggest they do at the end of the conversation?Section BPassage OneThe University of Tennessee’s Walters Life Sciences buildin g, is a model animal facility, spotlessly clean, careful in obtaining prior approval for experiments from an animal care committee. Of the 15,000 mice house there in a typical year, most give their lives for humanity. These are good mice and as such won the protection of the animal care committee. At any given time however some mice escape and run free. These mice are pests. They can disrupt experiments with the bacteria organisms they carry. They are bad mice and must be captured and destroyed. Usually, this is accomplished by means of sticky traps, a kind of fly paper on which they become increasingly stuck. But the real point of the cautionary tale, says animal behaviorist Herzau, is that the labels we put on things can affect our moral responses to them. Using stick traps or the more deadly snap traps would be deemed unacceptable for good mice. Yet the killing of bad mice requires no prior approval. Once the research animal hits the floor and becomes an escapee, says Herza, its moral standard is instantly diminished. In Herzau’s own home, there was more ironic example when his young son’s pet mouse Willy died recently, it was accorded a tearful ceremonial burial in garden. Yet even as they mourned Willy, says Herzau, he and his wife were setting snap traps to kill the pest mice in their kitchen with the bare change in labels from pet to pest, the kitchen mice obtained totally different moral standardsQuestions:26, What does the passage say about most of the mice used for experiments?27, Why did the so-called bad mice have to be captured and destroyed?28, When are mice killed without prior approval?29, Why does the speaker say what the Herzau’s did at home is ironical?Passage TwoThere are roughly three New Yorks. There is, first, the New York of the man or woman who was born here, who takes the city for granted and accepts its size and its turbulence as natural and inevitable. Second, there is the New York of the commuter — the city that is swallowed up by locusts each day and spat out each night. Third, there is the New York of the person who was born somewhere else and came to New York in quest of something. Of these three trembling cities the greatest is the last, the city of final destination, the city that has a goal. It is this third city that accounts for New York's high-strung disposition, its poetical deportment, its dedication to the arts, and its incomparable achievements. Commuters give the city its tidal restlessness; natives give it solidity and continuity; but the settlers give it passion. And whether it is a farmer arriving from Italy to set up a small grocery store in a slum, or a young girl arriving from a small town in Mississippi to escape the indignity of being observed by her neighbors, or a boy arriving from theCorn Belt with a manuscript in his suitcase and a pain in his heart, it makes no difference: each embraces New York with the intense excitement of first love, each absorbs New York with the fresh eyes of an adventurer, each generates heat and light to dwarf the Consolidated Edison Company.Questions 30 to 32 are based on the passage you have just heard.30. What does the speaker say about the natives of New York?31. What does the speaker say commuters give to New York?32. What do we learn about the settlers of New York?Passage Three“If you asked me television is unhealthy〞, I said to my roommate Walter, as I walked into the living room.“While you are sitting passively in front of the TV set, your muscles are turning to fat, your complexion is fading, and your eyesight is being ruined.〞“Shh~〞Walter put his finger to his lips, “This is an intriguing murder mystery.〞“Really?〞I replied.“But you know, the brain is destroyed by TV viewing. Creativity is killed by that box. And people are kept from communicating with one another. From my point of view, TV is the cause of the declining interest in school and the failure of our entire educational system.〞“Ah ha, I can’t see your point.〞Walter said softly. “But see? The woman on the witness stand in this story is being questioned about the murder that was committed one hundred years ago.〞Ignoring his enthusiastic description of the plot, I went on with my argument.“As I see it,〞I explained, “not only are most TV programs badly written and produced, but viewers are also manipulated by the mass media. As far as I am concerned, TV watchers are cut off from reality from nature, from the other people, from life itself! I was confident in my ability to persuade.After a short silence, my roommate said, “Anyway, I’ve been planning to w atch the football game.I am going to change the channel.〞“Don’t touch that dial!〞I shouted, “I wanted to find out how the mystery turns out!〞I am not sure I got my point to cross.Questions 33- 35 are based on the passage you have just heard.33. As the speaker walked into the living room, what was being shown on TV?34. What does the speaker say about watching television?35. What can we say about the speaker?Section C Compound DictationIn the past, one of the biggest disadvantages of machines has been their inability to work on a micro scale. For example, doctors did not have devices allowing them to go inside the human body to detect health problems or to perform delicate surgery. Repair crews did not have a way of identifying broken pipes located deep within a high-rise apartment building. However, that’s about to change. Advances in computers and biophysics have started a micro miniature revolution that allows scientists to envision and in some cases actually build microscopic machines. These devices promise to dramatically change the way we live and work.Micromachines already are making an impact. At Case Western Reserve University in Cleveland, Ohio, research scientists have designed a 4-inch silicon chip that holds 700 tiny primitive motors. At Lucas Nova Sensor in Fremont, California, scientists have perfected the world’s first microscopic blood-pressure sensor. Threaded through a person’s blood vessels, the sensor can provide blood pressure readings at the valve of the heart itself.Although simple versions of miniature devices have had an impact, advanced versions are still several years away.Auto manufacturers, for example, are trying to use tiny devices that can sense when to release an airbag and how to keep engines and breaks operating efficiently. Some futurists envision nanotechnology also being used to explore the deep sea in small submarine, or even to launch finger-sized rockets packed with micro miniature instruments.“There is an explosion of new ideas and applications,〞So, when scientists now think about future machines doing large and complex tasks, they’re thinking smaller than ever before.Listening Comprehension短对话听力谜底11.Q: What does the woman suggest the man do?【谜底】A〕Listen to the recorded notes while driving.12.Q: What do we learn from the conversation?【谜底】C〕The man lacks confidence in playing the part.13.Q: What are the speakers talking about?【谜底】A〕Arranging a bed for a patient.14.Q: What does the man mean?【谜底】A〕He is too busy to accept more responsibility.Section A11.Q: What does the woman suggest the man do?【谜底】A) Listen to the recorded notes while driving.12.Q: What do we learn from the conversation?【谜底】C) The man lacks confidence in playing the part.13.Q: What are the speakers talking about?【谜底】A) Arranging a bed for a patient14.Q: What does the man mean?【谜底】A) He is too busy to accept more responsibility.15.Q: what do we learn about Jame Smeil?【谜底】C) He has left his position in the government.16.Q: what can we infer from this conversation?【谜底】D) The man is well informed about the space shuttle missions.17.Q: Where does the conversation most probably take place?【谜底】A) At a car renting companySection BPassage One【资料评析】本篇文章要紧是报告人们看待老鼠差别的品德立场。

Inflation, resource scarcity, reduced personnel levels and budgetcuts have all underscore the needfor better coordination in organizations.Team management provides for this coordination. Team management calls for newskills if personnel potential is to be fully realized.Although a team may be composed ofknowledgeable people, they must learn new ways of relating and working togetherto solve cross-functional problems. When teams consist to be experiencedemployees from hierarchical organizations, whohave been condition totraditional organizational culture. Cooperation may not occur naturally, itmainly to be created. Furthermore, the issue is not just how the team canfunctionmore effectively, but how it integrates with the overall organization,all society that it supposes it serves. A groupof individuals is notautomatically a team. Therefore, team building may be necessary in order toimprove the group's performance. Casey, an expert in this field, suggests thatthe cooperation process within teams must be organized, promoted and managed.He believes the team corporation results when members go beyond theirindividual capabilities, beyond what each is used to being and doing. Together,the team may then produce something new, unique and superior to that of any onemember. For this to happen, he suggests the multi-cultural managers exhibitunderstanding of their own and others'cultural influences and limitations.They should alsocultivate such skills as toleration of ambiguity,persistenceand patience, as well as assertedness. If a team manager exemplifies suchqualities, then the team as a whole would be better able to realize theirpotential and achievetheir objectives.Q 16： What should teammembers do to fully realize their potential?Q 17： What needs to beconsidered for effective team management?Q 18： What conclusion can wedraw from what Casey says?Passage 2In early 1994, when MarkAndreessen was just 23 years old, he arrived in Silicon Valley with an ideathat would changethe world. As a student at the University of Illinois, heandhis friends had developed a program called Mosaic, which allowed people toshare information on the worldwide web. Before Mosaic, the web had been usedmainly by scientists andother technical people, who were happy just to sendand receive text. But with Mosaic, Andreessen and his friends had developed aprogram, which could send images over the web as well. Mosaic was an overnightsuccess. It was put on the university's network at the beginning of 1993. Andby the endof the year, it had over a million users. Soon after, Andreessenwent to seek his fortune in Silicon Valley. Once he got there, he started tohave meetings with a man called Jim Clark, who was one of the Valley's mostfamous entrepreneurs. In 1994, nobody was making any real money from theInternet, which was still very slow and hard to use. But Andreessen had seen an opportunity thatwould make him and Clark rich within two years. He suggested they should createa new computer program that would do the same job as Mosaic but would be mucheasier to use. Clark listened carefully to Andreessen, whose ideas andenthusiasm impressed him greatly. Eventually, Clark agreed to invest threemillion dollars of his own moneyin the project, and to raise an extra fifteenmillion fromventure capitalists, who were always keen to listen toClark's newideas.Q 19 What do we learn about Mosaic?Q 20 What did Andreessen do upon arriving in Silicon Valley?Q 21Why were venture capitalists willing to join inClark'sinvestment?Passage 3Advertising informs consumers about the existence and benefits ofproducts and services and attempts to persuadethem to buy them. The best formof advertising is probably word of mouth advertising which occurs when peopletell their friends about the benefits of products or services that they havepurchased. Yet virtually no providers of goods or services relay on this alone,which using paid advertising instead. Indeed many organizations also use institutionalor prestige advertising which is designed to build up their reputation ratherthan to sell particular products. Although large companies could easily set up theirown advertising departments, write their own advertisements and by media space themselves.They tend to use the services of large advertising agencies. These are likelyto have more resources and more knowledge about all aspects of advertising andadvertising media than single company. It is also easierfor a dissatisfycompany to give its account to another agency. And it would be to fire theirown advertising staff. The company generally give the advertising agency andagreed budget. A statement of the objective of the advertising campaign know asbrief and overall advertising strategy concerning the message to becommunicated to the target customers. The agency creates advertisements anddevelops a media prime, specifying which media will be used and in which proportions.Agencies often produce alternative ads or commercials that pretested innewspapers, television stations etc. in different parts of the country. Beforea final choiceswas madeprior to anational campaign.Q22 What is probably the bestform of advertising according to the speaker?Q23 What does the speaker sayis the proposes of many organization using prestige advertising ?Q24 How did large companiesgenerally handle their advertising?Q25 What would advertisingagencies often do before a national campaign?听写题Extinction is a difficult concept to grasp. It is aneternal concept. Itis not at all like the killing ofindividual life forms that can be renewedthrough normal processes of reproduction. Nor is simply diminishing numbers.Nor is it damage that can somehow be remedied or for which some substitute canbe found. Nor is it something that only affects our own generation. Nor is it somethingthatcould be remedied by some supernatural power. It is, rather,an absoluteand final act which there is no remedy on earth orin heaven. A species onceextinct, it's gone forever. However many generations succeed us in comingcenturies, none of them will ever see this species that we extinguish. Not onlyus we bring about extinction of life on a vast scale. We are also making theland and the air and sea so toxic that the very conditions of life are being destroyed.As regard natural resources ,not only are the none renewable resources beingused up in a of frenzy of processing, consuming and disposing but we are alsoruining much of our renewable resources. Such as the very solid self on whichterrestriallife depends. The change that is taking place onthe earth and in our minds isone of the greatest changes ever to take place in human affairs. Perhaps thegreatest, since weare talking about is not simply another historical change orcultural modification. But it change the geological and biological as well as psychologicalorder of magnitude.。

My family has tons of camping gear.Q： What does the woman mean?12.M： I know I promise to drive you to the airport next Thursday, but I’m afraid something has come up. They’ve called a special meeting at work.W： No big deal. Karen said she was available as a back-up.Q： What does the woman mean?13.W： Have you saved enough money for a trip to Hawaii?M： Not even close. My uncle must put the brakes on my travelling plans.Q： What does the man mean?14.M：I’m starving. Do we still have any pie left from the dinner yesterday?W： Oh, Julia invited her friends over in the afternoon and they ate it all.Q： What do we learn from the conversation?15.W： Three letters of recommendation are required to apply to graduate schools. I was wondering if the one professor Smith wrote for me last year could still be used.M：It’s a bit dated. You’d better submit a recent one.Q： What does the man suggest the woman do?16.W：I’ve noticed that you spend a lot of time tending your garden. Would you like to join our gardening club? We meet every other Wednesday.M： Oh, thanks for the invitation, but this is how I relax. I’d rather not make it something formal and structured.Q： What can we infer about the man?17.M： I heard the recent sculpture exhibit was kind of disappointing.W：That’s right. I guess a lot of other people feel the way I do about modern art.Q： What does the woman mean?18.M： Bob is running for chairman of the student union. Would you vote for him?W：Oh, I can’t decide right now because I have to find out more about the other candidates.Q： What does the woman mean?Conversation OneW：I don’t know what to do. I can’t seem to get anyone in the hospital to listen to my complaints and this outdated equipment is dangerous. Just look at it.M： Hmm, uh, are you trying to say that it presents a health hazard?W： Yes, I am. The head technician in the lab tried to persuade the hospital administration to replace it, but they are trying to cut costs.M：You are pregnant, aren’t you?W： Yes, I am. I made an effort to get my supervisor to transfer me to another department, but he urged me not to complain too loudly. Because the administration is morelikely to replace me than an X-ra y equipment, I’m afraid to refuse to work. But I’m more afraid to expose my unbornchild to the radiation.M： I see what you mean. Well, as your union representative, I have to warn you that it would take quite awhile to force management to replace the old machines and attempt to get you transferred may or may not be successful.W： Oh, what am I supposed to do then?M： Workers have the legal right to refuse certain unsafe work assignments under two federal laws, the Occupation or Safety and Health Act and the National Labor Relations Act. But the requirements of either of the Acts may be difficult to meet.W： Do you think I have a good case?M： If you do lose your job, the union will fight to get it back for you along with back pay, your lost income. But you have to be prepared for a long wait, maybe after two years.Q19. What does the woman complain about?Q20. What has the woman asked her supervisor to do?Q21. What does the man say about the two federal laws?Q22. What will the union do if the woman loses her job?Conversation TwoW： Mr. Green, is it fair to say that negotiation is an art?M：Well, I think it’s both an art an d science. You can prepare for a negotiation quite scientifically, but the execution of the negotiation has quite a lot to do withone’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.Q23. When is a scientific approach best embodied in a negotiation according to the man?Q24. In what way is a negotiator like an actor according to the man?Q25. What does the man say about the two types of negotiator?参考答案Section A11答案：She can lend the man a sleeping bag.【解析】这是一道较为简单的推理题，前提是考生需知道camping gear表示“野餐用具，露营装备”，由此可知，camping gear包括sleeping bag，即女士能借给男士一个睡袋，此题的设置稍微绕了个小弯，为考生解题设置了一定难度。

2020年12月英语六级真题答案（完整版）【作文部分】范文一：Directions：For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write an essay aboutthe impact of information explosion by referring to the saying "a wealth of information creates a poverty of attention". You can cite examples to illustrate your point and then explain what you can do to avoid being distracted by irrelevant information? You should write at least 150 words but no more than 200 words.Happiness – Go for itIn this long journey we call "life", everybody is in pursuit of happiness and has their own interpretation of happiness. An inspiring idea is that happiness is not the absence of problems, but the ability to deal with them, which reveals the very truth about happiness. It cannot be achieved through waiting, but only through striving.There is no way that life always progresses as we wish. Problems may occur and we find ourselves in trouble, but it doesn't mean we are deprived of happiness. There are numerous examples for us to follow： disabled people overcoming obstacles, patients fighting against disease, poverty-stricken people achieving their dreams -- all these inspiring heroes. Their lives are definitely not problem-free, but they have found happiness by courageously solving problems.Therefore, it is essential to develop the ability to deal with problems. We need to muster our courage and confidenceto face the fact. Meanwhile, we need to find effective ways to cope with them.In a word, if we stay strong and approach problems effectively, there will be no storm in life that we cannot weather. And after the storm, happiness is within our reach.范文二：Directions： For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write an essay commenting on the remark “the greatest use of life is to spend it for something that will outlast it.” You can give examples to illustrate your point and then explain what you will do to make your life more meaningful. You should write at least 150 words but no more than 200 words.How to Live a Meaning LifeAmong all the highlighted topics, there is “how to live a meaning life?” Everyone has his or her own opinion. As the saying has it, “the greatest use of life is to spend it for something that will outlast it.” I cannot agree any more.If our life is just to pursue something for ourselves, we will surely feel fruitless and meaningless when we grow old. From Steve Jobs’s bibliography, we can get that the people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world are the ones who do. Steve Jobs has brought a great many changes to our world. His life, although short, definitely outlast. That’s a life worth living.Therefore, if there is a way to make my life meaningful, it should be to find something I’m interested in and also helpful to others or the whole society. Only in this way canI keep my passion throughout my life until I finally fulfilmy life.范文三：Directions：For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write an essay aboutthe impact of information explosion by referring to the saying "a wealth of information creates a poverty of attention". You can cite examples to illustrateyour point and then explain what you can do to avoid being distracted by irrelevant information? You should write atleast 150 words but no more than 200 words.Ways to Get Over Information ExplosionAs a famous saying goes, “A wealth of informationcreates a poverty of attention”. Nowadays we are in the Information Age. Some people keep complaining aboutdistraction by the information explosion.Admittedly, the new information age has brought us somuch convenience that we are allowed to get enoughinformation just with a simple click sitting in front of the computers. Nevertheless, we are also confused, annoyed, distracted and upset by an incredibly large quantity of information. For example, when searching for something online, people are easily carried away by irrelevant information and forget their original plan. Besides, some information often turns out to be useless and actually advertisement. Therefore, it can be time-consuming and troublesome to searchinformation online.Then what we can do to avoid being distracted byirrelevant information? Here I have some useful tips：Firstly, make a list of what you really want before your searching. This will help you to refuse some appealing, yet irrelevant information. Secondly, find some trustful and professional sources or websites and then save and categorize them. In this case, you can easily leave some ads and useless information behind.【听力部分】1.

The Mid-Autumn has become popular all over China in the Early Tang Dynasty. The Mid-Autumn Festival, celebrated on the 15th day of the8th month of the lunar calendar, is a day for worshiping themoon. At that day, family members get together and enjoythe bright moon in the sky at night. In 2006, the Mid-Autumn was listed as a China cultural heritage, and in 2008 designated as a public holiday. The moon cake, an indispensable food of the Festival, is often used as a gift for relatives and friends or enjoyed in the family party. Traditional moon cakes are imprinted with Chinese characters with such meanings as “longevity”, “happiness” or “harmony”.翻译二：The world-renowned Silk Road is a series of routes connecting the East and the West. It extended more than 6,000 kilometers. The Silk Road was named after ancient China’s silk trade which played an important role in the civilization development of China, South Asia, Europe and the Middle East. It was through the Silk Road that papermaking, gunpowder, compass and printing of the four great inventions of ancient China were introduced around the world. Similarly, Chinese silk, tea and porcelain spread all over the world. Europe also exported various goods and plants through the Silk Road to meet the needs of the Chinese market.。

2020年12月英语六级听力原文(第一套)

2020年12月英语六级听力原文（第一套）Section AConversation1Paul:Good morning,Safehouse Insurance.My name is Paul.How can I help you today?May:Morning.I wouldn’t say that it’s good from where I’m standing.This is Miss Wilson and this is the third time I’ve called this week since receiving your letter about our insurance claim.[1]I’m getting a little fed up with my calls about my claim being completely disregarded.Paul:Miss Wilson,thank you for calling back.Can I take some details to help me look at your claim?May:It’s Miss May Wilson of15South Sea Road in Cornwall.[2]And the details are that our village was extensively flooded2months ago. The entire ground floor of our cottage was submerged in water and five of us have been living in a caravan ever since.You people are still withholding the money we are entitled to over a bizarre technical detail. And it’s not acceptable,Paul!Paul:Miss Wilson,[3]according to the notes on your account,the bizarre technical detail that you mentioned refers to the fact that you hadn’t paid house insurance the month before the incident.May:That money left our account,and now that you should bepaying now,you’re suddenly saying that you didn’t receive it on time. I’m really skeptical about this claim.Paul:The contract does say that any missed payment in a year will affect the terms and conditions of the insurance contract and may affect claims.Of course,I can pass you on to my manager to talk to you more about this.May:I’ve already spoken to him and you can tell him[4]I’m furious now and that your company has a lawsuit on its hands.You will be hearing from my lawyer.Goodbye.Q1:What is the woman complaining about?Q2:What is the problem the woman’s family encountered?Q3:What has caused the so-called“bizarre technical detail”according to the man?Q4:What did the woman say she would do at the end of the conversation?Conversation TwoW:How do you feel about the future of artificial intelligence? Personally,I feel quite optimistic about it.M:[5]AI?I’m not so optimistic,actually.In fact,it’s something we should be concerned about.W:Well,it will help us humans understand ourselves better.And, when we have a better understanding of ourselves,we can improve theworld.M:Well,one thing is for sure:Technology is evolving faster than our ability to understand it.And in the future,AI will make jobs kind of pointless.W:[6]I think artificial intelligence will actually help create new kinds of jobs which would require less of our time and allow us to be centered on creative tasks.M:I doubt that very much.Probably the last job that will remain will be writing AI software.And then eventually,AI will just write its own software.W:At that time,we’re going to have a lot of jobs which nobody would want to do,so we’ll need artificial intelligence for the robots to take care of the old guys like us.M:I don’t know.[7]There’s a risk that human civilization could be replaced by a superior type of digital life.AI will be able to completely simulate a person in every way possible.In fact,some people think we’re in the simulation,right now.W:That’s impossible.Humans can’t even make a mosquito. Computers only have chips.People have brains and that’s where the wisdom comes from.M:[8]Once it’s fully developed,AI will become tired of trying to communicate with humans.As we would be much slower thinkers incomparison.W:I’m not so sure.A computer is a computer and a computer is just a toy.M:[8]Computers can easily communicate incredibly fast,so the computer will just get impatient talking to humans.It will be barely getting any information out.W:Well,I believe there’s a benevolent future with AI.I also think you watch too many science fiction films.Q5:What do we learn about the speakers from the conversation?Q6:What will new kinds of jobs be like,according to the woman?Q7:What is the risk the man anticipates?Q8:What is the man’s concern about AI technology?Section BPassage1To achieve financial security,how much you save is always more important than the amount you earn or how shrewdly you invest.[9]If you are under30years old,your goal should be to save20%of your monthly income after tax deductions.This is irrespective of how much you earn.Approximately50%should be reserved for the essential like food and accommodation.Through mainly30%is for recreation and entertainment.[10]But for many young people,it’ll be difficult to designate such a large proportion of their income for savings.[10]If you find it hard to save any money at all,start up by cutting all unnecessary spending,allocate at a tiny amount of1or2percent for savings,and gradually increase that amount.Always keep that20%goal in mind for prevent yourself from becoming complacent.It can be challenging to stick to such a strict plan.But if you adopt the right mindset,you should be able to make it work for you.[11]So,what should you be doing with the money that you saving? Some must be kept easily accessible in case you need some cash in emergency.The largest proportion should be invested retirement plans. Either for the young employer or privately.[11]And you can keep some money for high risk but potentially lucrative investments.Dividends can be re-invested or used to purchase something you like.By following this plan,you should hopefully be able to enjoy your life now,and still be financially secure in future.Q9What are people under30advised to do to achieve financial security?Q10What should people do if they find difficult to follow this speakers’advice on their financial plan?Q11What does the speaker think is important for achieving financial security?Passage2I work in advertising and I like to keep up with current trends,mainlybecause I’m aware that we live in an image-obsessed world.[12]However,when I first started my job,occasionally I’d catch a glimpse of myself in the lifts,and find myself thinking that I looked a total mess. Was I being held back by my choice of clothing?The sure answer is yes, especially when clients are quick to judge you on your style rather than your work.[13]But no one can be unique with their outfit every day.I mean that’s why uniforms were invented.So,here’s what I did.I created my own uniform.To do this,I chose an appropriate outfit.Then I bought multiple items of the same style in different shades.Now,I never worry about what I’m wearing in the morning even if I do get a bit tired of just wearing the same classic pieces.[14]Overall,when it comes to work,you have to ask yourself:will looking smarter enhance my ability to do my job?For some,this question may not be an issue at all.Especially if you work remotely and rarely see your colleagues or clients face to face.[14]But if your job involves interacting with other people,the answer to this is often yes.[15]So rather than finding a system,I think we should just do whatever help us to achieve our goals that work.If that means playing a safe with your image,then let’s face it.It’s probably worth it.Q12:What do we learn about the speaker when she first started her job?Q13:Why were uniforms are invented according to the speaker?Q14:What does the speaker say about looking smarter?Q15:What does the speaker advise people do in an image obsessed world?Recording1Did you know that Americans have approximately three times the amount of space we had50years ago?Therefore,you'd think we'd have sufficient room for all of our possessions.On the contrary,the personal storage business is now a growing industry.We've got triple the space, [16]but we've become such enthusiastic consumers that we require even more.This phenomenon has resulted in significant credit card debt, enormous environmental footprints,and perhaps not coincidentally,our happiness levels have failed to increase over the same half century.I'm here to suggest an alternative–that having less,might actually be a preferable decision.Many of us have experienced,at some stage, the pleasure of possessing less.I propose that less stuff and less space can not only help you economize,but also simplify your life.I recently started an innovative project to discover some creative solutions that offered me everything I required.By purchasing an apartment that was 40square meters instead of60,I admittedly saved$200,000.Smaller space leads to reduce utility bills,and also a smaller carbon footprint. Because it is designed around an edited collection of possessions, limited to my favorite stuff,I'm really excited to live there.How can we live more basically?Firstly,we must ruthlessly cut theunnecessary objects out of our lives.To extend consumption,we should think before we buy,and ask yourselves,"will it truly make me happier?"[17]Obviously,we should possess some great stuff,but we want belongings that we're going to love for years.[18]Secondly,we require space efficiency.We want appliances that are designed for use most of the time,not for occasional use.Why own a six-burner stove when you rarely use even three burners?Finally,we need multifunctional spaces and housewares.I combined a movable wall with transforming furniture to get more out of my limited space.Consider my coffee table.It increases in size to accommodate ten.My office is tugged away,easily hidden.My bed simply pops out the wall.For gas,I can relocate the movable wall and utilize the foldable guest beds I installed.I'm not saying that we should all live in tinier apartments,but consider the benefits of an edited life.When you return home and walk through your front door,take a moment to ask yourselves,"could I do with a little life editing?Will that give me more freedom and more time? Q16:What has prevented Americans happiness levels from increasing? Q17:What things should we possess according to the speaker?Q18:What do we learn about the items in the speaker's home? Recording2Now,believe it or not.People sometimes lie in order to maintain agood honest reputation,--even if it hurts them to do so.At least,this is what a team of scientists is suggesting,with evidence to prove it.Picture this scenario:You often drive for work and can be compensated for up to400miles per month.Most people at your company drive about300miles each month.But this month,you drove 400miles.How many miles do you think you'd claim in your expense report?[19]The scientist asked this exact question as part of the study we’re discussing today.With surprising results,they found that12%of respondents reported the distance they drove as less than the actual figure,giving an average answer of384miles.In other words,they lied about their number of miles,even though they would forfeit money they were owed.The researchers believe this was to seem honest,with the assumption being that others would be suspicious of a high expense claim.[20]But why would people fabricate numbers to their own detriment?The researchers explained that many people carry a great deal about their reputation and how they’ll be judged by others.If they care enough,they concerned about appearing honest and not losing their respect of others.Maybe greater than their desire to actually be honest.The researchers assert that they find a new suggest that whenpeople obtain very favorable outcomes.They anticipate other people's suspicious reactions and prefer lying and appearing honest to telling the truth and appearing as selfish liars.So why is this research important?Well,experts generally agreed there are two main types of lie,selfish liars and liars that are meant to benefit others.The first,as you may predict,is for selfish gain,such as submitting a fraudulent claim to an insurance company,while the second involves lying to help others or not offend others.For example,telling a friend whose outfit you don’t like that they look great.But the researchers are suggesting a third type of lying,lying to maintain a good reputation.Now this hypothesis is new and some skeptics argue that this isn’t a whole new category of lie.[21]The findings seem intuitive to me.After all,one of the main motivations for lying is to increase our worth in the eyes of others,so it seems highly likely that people will lie to seem honest.Q19:What did the team of scientist find in their study?Q20:Why would people fabricate numbers to their own detriment according to the researchers?Q21:What does the speaker think of the researchers’findings? Recording3[22]Why do old people dislike new music?As I’ve grown older,I often hear people my age say things like they just don’t make goodmusic like they used to.Why does this happen?Luckily,psychology can give us some insights into this puzzle.Musical tastes begin to crystallize as early as age13or14.By the time we’re in our early20s,these tastes get locked into place pretty firmly.[23]In fact,studies have found that by the time we turn33,most of us have stopped listening to new music.Meanwhile,popular songs released when you’re in your early teens are likely to remain quite popular among your age group for the rest of your life.(23) There could be a biological explanation for this,as there’s evidence that the brain’s ability to make subtle distinctions between different chords,rhythms,and melodies deteriorates with age.So to older people, newer,less familiar songs might all“sound the same.”But there’re maybe some simpler reasons for older people’s aversion to newer music.[24]One of the most researched laws of social psychology is something called the“mere exposure effect.”,which in essence means that the more we’re exposed to something,the more we tend to like it.This happens with people we know,the advertisements we see and, the songs we listen to.When you’re in your early teens,you probably spend a fair amount of time listening to music or watching music videos.Your favorite songs and artists become familiar,comforting parts of your routine.For many people over30,job and family obligations increase,so there’s less time to spend discovering new music.Instead,many will simply listen to old,familiar favorites from that period of their lives when they had more free time.Of course,those teen years weren’t necessarily carefree.They’re famously confusing,which is why so many TV shows and movies revolve around the high school turmoil.[25]Psychology research has shown that the emotions that we experience as teens seem more intense than those that come later.And we also know that intense emotions are associated with stronger memories and preferences.Both of these might explain why the songs we listen to during this period become so memorable and beloved.So there’s nothing wrong with your pare nts because they don’t like your music.Rather it’s all part of the natural order of things.Q22.What does the speaker mainly discuss in this talk?Q23.What have studies found about most people by the time they turned33?Q24.What do we learn from one of the most researched laws of social psychology?Q25.What might explain the fact that songs people listen to in their teen years are memorable and beloved?【答案】：C)Her claim has been completely disregarded.【解析】：考察视听一致，选项核心词与文本内容一致，且第一组问答出题，符合顺序原则。

【网络综合版】听力Conversation 1M: Good morning, safe house insurance. My name is Paul. How can I help you today? W: Morning. I wouldn’t say that it’s good from where I am standing. This is Miss Wilson, and this is the third time I’ve called this week since receiving your letter about our insurance claim. (1) I’m getting a little fed up with my calls about my claim being completely disregarded.M: Miss Wilson, thank you for calling back. Can I take some details to help me look at your claim?W: It’s Miss May Wilson, a 15 south sea road in Cornwall.And the details are that our village was extensively flooded 2 months ago. (2) The entire ground floor of our cottage was submerged in water. And five of us have been living in a caravan ever since. You people are still withholding the money we are entitled to overa bizarre, technical detail. And it’s not acceptable, Paul.M: Miss Wilson, according to the notes on your account, (3) the bizarre, technical detail that you mentioned refers to the fact that you hadn’t paid house insurance the month before the incident.W: That money left our account and wow that you should be paying out. You are suddenly saying that you di dn’t receive it on time. I’m really skeptical about this claim.M: The contract does say that any miss payment in a year will affect the terms and conditions of the insurance contract and may affect claims. Of course, I can pass you on to my manager to talk to you more about this.W: I’ve already spoken to him and you can tell him I’m furious now. And that your company has a lawsuit on its hands.(4) You will be hearing from my lawyer, good bye.Questions 1 to 4 are based on the conversation you have just heard.Question 1: What is the woman complaining about?1. B) Her claim has been completely disregarded.Question 2: What is the problem the woman’s family encountered?2. B) The ground floor of their cottage was flooded.Question 3: What has caused the so called bizarre, technical detail according to the man?3. A) The woman’s failure to pay her house insurance in time.Question 4: What does the woman say she will do at the end of the conversation?4. D) File a lawsuit against the insurance company.Conversation 2W: (5) How do you feel about the future of artificial intelligence? Personally, I feel quite optimistic about it.M: (5) AI? I’m not so optimistic actually. In fact it's, something we should be concerned about.W: Well, it will help us humans understand ourselves better and when we have a better understanding of ourselves, we can improve the world.M: Well, one thing is for sure, technology is evolving faster than our ability to understand it, and in the future AI will make jobs kind of pointless.W: (6) I think artificial intelligence will actually help create new kinds of jobs, which would require less of our time and allow us to be centered on creative tasks. M: I doubt that very much. Probably the last job that will be writing AI software and then eventually AI will just write his own software.W: At that time, we are going to have a lot of jobs which nobody will want to do.So we won’t need artificial intelligence for the robots to take care of the old guys like us.M: I don't know. (7) There's a risk that human civilization could be replaced bya superior type of digital life. AI will be able to completely simulate a personin every way possible. In fact, some people think we're in a simulation right now.W: That's impossible. Humans can't even make a mosquito. Computers only have chips, people have brains, and that's where the wisdom comes from.M: (8) Once it's fully developed, AI will become tired of trying to communicate withhumans as we would be much slower thinkers in comparison.W: I'm not so sure. A computer is a computer and a computer is just a toy.M: Computers can easily communicate incredibly fast, so the computer will just get impatient talking to humans. It'll be barely getting any information out. W: Well, I believe there's a benevolent future with AI. I also think you watch too many science fiction films.Questions 5 to 8 are based on the conversation you have just heard.Q5 What do we learn about the speakers from the conversation?5. C) They disagree about the future of AI technology.Q6 What will new kinds of jobs be like according to the woman?6. D) Less time-consuming and focusing on creation.Q7 What is the risk the man anticipates?7. C) Digital life could replace human civilization.Q8 What is the man's concern about AI technology?8. A) It will be smarter than human beings.Passage OneTo achieve financial security. How much you save is always more important. Then the amount you earn or how shrewdly you invest.(9) If you're under 30 years old, your goal should be to save 20% of your monthly income after tax deductions. This is irrespective of how much you earn. Approximately 50% should be reserved foressentials, like food and accommodation. The remaining 30% is for recreation and entertainment. But for many young people, it'll be difficult to designate such a large proportion of their income for savings. (10) If you find it hard to save any money at all start by cutting all unnecessary spending, allocate a tiny amount of 1 or 2% for savings, and gradually increase that amount. (11)Always keep that 20% goal in mind, prevent yourself from becoming complacent. It can be challenging to stick to such a strict plan. But if you adopt the right mindset, you should be able to make it work for you. So what should you be doing with the money that you are saving? Some must be kept easily accessible. In case you need some cash in an emergency, the largest proportion should be invested in retirement plans, either for your employer, all privately, you can keep some money for high risk, but potentially lucrative investments. Dividends can be reinvested or used to purchase something you like. By following this plan, you should hopefully be able to enjoy your life now, and still be financially secure in the future.Questions, 9 to 11 are based on the passage you have just heard.Q 9. What are people under 30 advised to do to achieve financial security?9. C) Save one-fifth of their net monthly income.Q10. What should people do if they find it difficult to follow the speaker's advice on their financial plan?10. D) Start by doing something small.Q 11. What does the speaker think is important for achieving financial security?11. A) A proper mindset.Passage TwoI work in advertising and I like to keep up with current trends, mainly because I'm aware that we live in an image obsessed world.(12)However, when I first started my job, occasionally I’d catch a glimpse of myself in the lifts and find myself thinking that I looked a total mess. Was I being held back by my choice of clothing? The short answer is “Yes”, especially when clients are quick to judge you on your style rather than your work.(13) But no one can be unique with her outfit every day. I mean that's why uniforms were invented. So here's what I did. I created my own uniform. To do this, I chose an appropriate outfit. Then I bought multiple items of the same style in different shades.Now, I never worry about what I'm wearing in the morning. Even if I do get a bit tired of just wearing the same classic pieces. (14)Overall, when it comes to work, you have to ask yourself with looking smarter can enhance my ability to do my job.For some, this question may not be an issue at all, especially if you work remotely and rarely see your colleagues or clients face to face. But if your job involves interacting with other people, the answer to this is often “yes”. (15) So rather than fighting the system, I think we should just do whatever helps us toachieve our goals at work. If that means playing it safe with your image, then let's face it. It's probably worth it.Questions 12 to 15 are based on the passage you have just heard.Q 12. What do we learn about the speaker when she first started her job?12. A) She found her outfit inappropriate.Q 13. Why were uniforms invented according to the speaker?13. D) To save the trouble of choosing a unique outfit every day.Q 14. What does the speakers say about looking smarter?14. B) It matters a lot in jobs involving interactions with others.Q 15. What does the speaker advise people to do in an image obsessed world? 15. C) Do whatever is possible to look smart.Recording OneDid you know that Americans have approximately 3 times the amount of space we had 50 years ago? Therefore, you'd think would have sufficient room for all of our possessions. On the contrary, the personal storage business is now a growing industry. We've got triple the space, but we've become such enthusiastic consumers that we require even more. (16) This phenomenon has resulted in significant credit card debt, enormous environmental footprints, and perhaps not coincidentally our happiness levels have failed to increase over the same half century.I'm here to suggest an alternative. They’re having less might actually be a preferable decision. Many of us have experienced at some stage, the pleasure of possessing less. (17) I propose that less stuff and less space can not only help you economize, but also simplify your life. I recently started an innovative project to discover some creative solutions that offered me everything I required. By purchasing an apartment. There was 40 square meters instead of 60. I immediately saved $200,000. Smaller space leads to reduced utility bills and also a smaller carbon footprint, because it's designed around an edited collection of possessions, limited to my favorite stuff. I'm really excited to live there.How can we live more basically? Firstly, we must briefly cut the unnecessary objects out of our lives to stem consumption. We should think before we buy and ask ourselves: Will it truly make me happier? Obviously, we should possess some great stuff but we want belongings that we’re going to love for years. Secondly, we require space efficiency. We want appliances that are designed for use most of the time, not for occasional use. Why own a six burner when you really use even three burners?Finally, we need multifunctional spaces and housewares. I combined a movable wall with transforming furniture to get more out of my limited space. Consider my coffee table. It increases in size to accommodate ten. My office is tucked away, easily hidden. My bed simply pops out of the wall. For gas, I can relocate the movable wall and utilize the foldable guest beds I installed. I’m not saying we should all live in tiny apartments, but consider the benefits of an edited life. When you returnhome and walk through your front door, take a moment to ask yourselves. Could I do with a little life editing? Would that give me more freedom and more time? Question 16 to 18 are based on the recording you have just heard.Question 16. What has prevented American's happiness levels from increasing? 16. B) Their obsession with consumption.Question 17. What things should we possess according to the speaker?17. A) Things that we cherish most.Question 18. What do we learn about the items in the speaker’s home?18. C) They serve multiple purposes.Recording TwoNow, believe it or not, (19) people sometimes lie in order to maintain a good, honest reputation, even if it hurts them to do so. At least, this is what a team of scientists is suggesting with evidence to prove it.Picture this scenario—you often drive for work and can be compensated for up to 400 miles per month. Most people at your company drive about 300 miles each month. But th is month you drove 400 miles. How many miles do you think you’d claim in your expense report? The scientists asked this exact question as part of the study we’re discussing today. With surprising results, they found that 12% of respondents reported the distance they drove as less than the actual figure, giving an average answer of 384 miles. In other words, they lied about the number of miles, even though they would forfeit money they were owed. The researchers believe this was to seemhonest with the assumption being that others would be suspicious of a high expense claim.But why would people fabricate numbers to their own detriment? (20) The researchers explained that many people care a great deal about their reputation and how they’ll be judged by other s. If they care enough, they’re concerned about appearing honest and not losing the respect of others—maybe greater than their desire to actually be honest. The researchers assert that the findings suggest that when people obtain very favorable outcomes, t hey anticipate other people’s suspicious reactions and prefer lying and appearing honest to telling the truth and appearing as selfish liars.So why is this research important?

For example, telling a friend wh ose outfit you don’t like that they look great. But the researchers are suggesting a third type of lying: lying to maintain a good reputation.Now this hypothesis is new, and some skeptics argue that this isn’t a whole new category of lie. (21) But the findings seem intuitive to me. After all, one of the main motivations for lying is to increase our worth in the eyes of others. So it seems highly likely that people will lie to seem honest.Questions 19 to 21 are based on the recording you have just heard.Question 19: What did a team of scientists find in their study?19. D) Over 10% of the respondents lied about the distance they drove.Question 20: why would people fabricate numbers to their own detriment according to the researchers?20. B) They want to protect their reputation.Question 21: What does the speaker think of the researchers findings?21. C) They seem intuitive.Recording Three(22) Why do old people dislike new music? As I’ve grown older, I often hear people my age say things like, “T hey just don’t make good music like they used to.” (22) Why does this happen? Luckily, psychology can give us some insights into this puzzle. Musical taste begins crystallized as early as age 13 or 14.

This happens with people we know, the advertisements we see, and the songs we listen to.When you’re in your early teens, you probably spend a fair amount of time listening to music or watching music videos. Your favorite songs and artists become familiar, comforting parts of your routine. For many people over 30, job and family obligations increase. So there’s less time to spend discovering new music. Instead, many will simply listen to old familiar favorites from that period of their lives when they had more free time.Of course, those teen years weren’t necessarily care f ree. They’re famously confusing, which is why so many TV shows and movies revolve around high school turmoil. Psychology research has shown that (25) the emotions that we experience as teens seem more intense than those that come later. And we also know that intense emotions are associated with stronger memories and preferences. Both of these might explain why the songs we listen to during this period become so memorable and beloved. So t here’s nothing wrong with your parents because t hey don’t like your music. Rather, it’s all part of the natural order of things.Questions 22 to 25 are based on the recording you have just heard.Question 22. What does the speaker mainly discuss in this talk?22. A) Older people’ s aversion to new music.Question 23. What have studies found about most people by the time they turn 33?23. C) They find all music sounds the same.Question 24.

According to a recent survey conducted by China Daily, a high proportion of 56.6 percent of students admitted that they had difficulty in talking with their parents or peers.It is generally believed that communication skills are of great importance. They enable us to express ourselves clearly and avoid any misunderstandings.Imagine an elite university graduate who is bad at interactions，and he will have difficulty in building harmonious cooperation and effective communication between colleagues and won’t be willing to learn from or ask them for guidance and support, which has a negative influence on his development in the long run. Therefore, by some means or other we must come to know how to improve communication skills . It is necessary for us students to set aside some time from academic studies to consciously cultivate speaking ability Only in this way, can we better prepare ourselves for the future.第二套The past several years have witnessed a social phenomenon that people want to lead a life without any challenges According to a recent survey conducted by China Daily, a high proportion of 56.6 percent of students admitted that they saw challenges as troubles.However, it is generally believed that challenges are of great importance to our growth. Without them, a person is unable to make progress and draw precious life lessons, especially in this modern society. A theory has it that the moment we see challenges as opportunities rather than difficulties, we will no longer have this crazy fear of encountering them along the journey. Therefore, in order to gain personal growth, we should lay great emphasis on challenges.In brief, taking into account all of these factors, we may reach the conclusion that challenges may cause frustration or even pain, but they also offer opportunities for growth.第三套3.InnovationWe hear the term “innovation” everywhere and are made to believe in its importance. For many of us, innovation means providing ideas out of the blue, leading to significant discoveries and achievements. Looking at the reasons why innovation is so important, you will have a better understanding of why you need to innovate every chance you get.First of all, innovation can promote the advancement of our society. With innovation, any progress can be possible. However, once indulged in tradition, the society will remain stagnant. Moreover, innovation can inject vigor into a company's growth. Once equipped with a sense of innovation, a company will be prosperous. On the contrary, it will fall behind if keeping on the rails. Last but not least, innovation is essential to the development of individuals. Those who often come up with new ideas usually turn out to be easy to achieve success, while a man who always sticks to experience can hardly create new things.Innovation has been a hot word for a long time. We cannot emphasize the importance of innovation too much. Therefore, we have to learn as much knowledge as possible to prepare ourselves for being innovative.阅读（3套）第一套（看选项内容核对答案，abcd顺序可能不一样）词汇理解文章开头：The idea of taxing things that are bad for society...26-30 AEJNG 31-35 MBLHO26.

Farmers will not profit from replanting once they have applied most of the fertilizer and other chemicals to their fields.37. Agriculture differs from the medical science of the human body in that its environment is nota contained one.38. The agronomist is sure that he will obtain a near accurate count of plant with his software.39.The application of artificial intelligence to agriculture is much more challenging than to most other industries.40. Even the farmers know the data provided by the UAV is not correct.41. The pressure for quick results leads to product failure, which, in turn, arouses doubts about the applicability of AI technology to agriculture.42. Remote sensors are aimed to help farmers improve decision-making to increase yields.43. The farmer expects the software to tell him whether he will have to replant any parts of his farm fields.44. Agriculture proves very difficult to quantify because of the constantly changing conditions involved.45. The same seed and fertilizer program may yield completely different outcomes in different places.36.定位句【D】At this growth stage of the plant's development, the farmer has another 10 days to conduct any replanting before the majority of his fertilizer and chemical applications need to occur.37. 定位句【L】By comparison, our bodies are a contained environment. Agriculture takes place in nature, among ecosystems of interacting organisms and activity, and crop production takes place within that ecosystem environment. But these ecosystems are not contained.38.定位句【E】the agronomist feels confident that the software will produce a near accurate result.39.定位句【N】the problem is that in most cases, no two environments will be exactly alike, which makes the testing, validation and successful rollout of such technologies much more laborious than in most other industries.40.定位句【F】he knows the instant he sees the data on his screen that the plant count is not correct,41.定位句【Q】This usually results in a failure of a product, which leads to skepticism from the market and delivers a blow to the integrity of Machine Learning technology.42.定位句【H】And the aim is that farmers can use this artificial intelligence to achieve their goal of a better harvest through making better decisions in the field.43.定位句【C】It's been 10 days since the com emerged and the farmer wants to determine if there are any parts of the field that require replanting due to a lack of emergence or wind damage, which can be severe in the early stages of the summer rainy season.44.定位句【K】Even within a single field, conditions are always changing from one section to the next. There's unpredictable weather, changes in soil quality, and the ever-present possibility that pests and diseases may pay a visit. Growers may feel their prospects are good for an upcoming harvest, but until that day arrives, the outcome will always be uncertain.45.定位句【M】What may occur with the same seed and fertilizer program in the United States' Midwest region is almost certainly unrelated to what may occur with the same seed and fertilizerprogram in Australia or South Africa.Passage One文章开头：What is the place of art in a culture of inattention?答案速查：46-50 BACBC试题、选项及定位：46.

I wouldn’t say that it’s good from where I am standing. This is Miss Wilson, and this is the third time I’ve called this week since receiving your letter about our insurance claim. (1)I’m getting a little fed up with my calls about my claim being completely disregarded.M: Miss Wilson, thank you for calling back. Can I take some details to help me look at your claim?W: It’s Miss May Wilson, a 15 south sea road in Cornwall.And the details are that our village was extensively flooded 2 months ago. (2)The entire ground floor of our cottage was submerged in water.And five of us have been living in a caravan ever since. You people are still withholding the money we are entitled to over a bizarre, technical detail. And it’s not acceptable, Paul.M: Miss Wilson, according to the notes on your account, (3)the bizarre, technical detail that you mentioned refers to the fact that you hadn’t paid house insurance the month before the incident.W: That money left our account and wow that you should be paying out. You are suddenly saying that you didn’t receive it on time. I’m really skeptical about th is claim.M: The contract does say that any miss payment in a year will affect the terms and conditions of the insurance contract and may affect claims. Of course, I can pass you on to my manager to talk to you more about this.W: I’ve already spoken to him and you can tell him I’m furious now. And that your company has a lawsuit on its hands.(4) You will be hearing from my lawyer, good bye.Questions 1 to 4 are based on the conversation you have just heard.Question 1: What is the woman complaining about?Question 2: What is the problem the woman’s family encountered?Question 3: What has caused the so called bizarre, technical detail according to the man?Question 4: What does the woman say she will do at the end of the conversation?Conversation 2W: (5) How do you feel about the future of artificial intelligence? Personally, I feel quite optimistic about it.M: (5) AI? I’m not so optimistic actually. In fact it's, something we should be concerned about.W: Well, it will help us humans understand ourselves better and when we have a better understanding of ourselves, we can improve the world.M: Well, one thing is for sure, technology is evolving faster than our ability to understand it, and in the future AI will make jobs kind of pointless.W: (6) I think artificial intelligence will actually help create new kinds of jobs, which would require less of our time and allow us to be centered on creative tasks.M: I doubt that very much. Probably the last job that will be writing AI software and then eventually AI will just write his own software.W: At that time, we are going to have a lot of jobs which nobody will want to do. So we won’t need artificial intelligence for the robots to take care of the old guys like us.M: I don't know. (7) There's a risk that human civilization could be replaced by a superior type of digital life. AI will be able to completely simulate a person in every way possible. In fact, some people think we're in a simulation right now.W: That's impossible. Humans can't even make a mosquito. Computers only have chips, people have brains, and that's where the wisdom comes from.M: (8) Once it's fully developed, AI will become tired of trying to communicate with humans as we would be much slower thinkers in comparison.W: I'm not so sure. A computer is a computer and a computer is just a toy.M: Computers can easily communicate incredibly fast, so the computer will just get impatient talking to humans. It'll be barely getting any information out.W: Well, I believe there's a benevolent future with AI. I also think you watch too many science fiction films.Questions 5 to 8 are based on the conversation you have just heard.Q5 What do we learn about the speakers from the conversation?Q6 What will new kinds of jobs be like according to the woman?Q7 What is the risk the man anticipates?Q8 What is the man's concern about AI technology?Passage OneTo achieve financial security. How much you save is always more important. Then the amount you earn or how shrewdly you invest.(9) If you're under 30 years old, your goal should be to save 20% of your monthly income after tax deductions. This is irrespective of how much you earn. Approximately 50% should be reserved for essentials, like food and accommodation. The remaining 30% is for recreation and entertainment. But for many young people, it'll be difficult to designate such a large proportion of their income for savings. (10) If you find it hard to save any money at all start by cutting all unnecessary spending, allocate a tiny amount of 1 or 2% for savings, and gradually increase that amount. (11)Always keep that 20% goal in mind, prevent yourself from becoming complacent. It can be challenging to stick to such a strict plan. But if you adopt the right mindset, you should be able to make it work for you. So what should you be doing with the money that you are saving? Some must be kept easily accessible. In case you need some cash in an emergency, the largest proportion should be invested in retirement plans, either for your employer, all privately, you can keep some money for high risk, but potentially lucrative investments. Dividends can be reinvested or used to purchase something you like. By following this plan, you should hopefully be able to enjoy your life now, and still be financially secure in the future.Questions, 9 to 11 are based on the passage you have just heard.Q 9. What are people under 30 advised to do to achieve financial security?Q10. What should people do if they find it difficult to follow the speaker's advice on their financial plan?Q 11. What does the speaker think is important for achieving financial security?Passage TwoI work in advertising and I like to keep up with current trends, mainly because I'm aware that we live in an image obsessed world.(12)However, when I first started my job, occasionally I’d catch a glimpse of myself in the lifts and find myself thinking that I looked a total mess. Was I being held back by my choice of clothing? The short answer is “Yes”, especially when clients are quick to judge you on your style rather than your work.(13) But no one can be unique with her outfit every day. I mean that's why uniforms were invented. So here's what I did. I created my own uniform. To do this, I chose an appropriate outfit. Then I bought multiple items of the same style in different shades.Now, I never worry about what I'm wearing in the morning. Even if I do get a bit tired of just wearing the same classic pieces. (14)Overall, when it comes to work, you have to ask yourself with looking smarter can enhance my ability to do my job.For some, this question may not be an issue at all, especially if you work remotely and rarely see your colleagues or clients face to face. But if your job involves interacting with other people, the answer to this is often “yes”. (15) So rather than fighting the system, I think we should just do whatever helps us to achieve our goals at work. If that means playing it safe with your image, then let's face it. It's probably worth it.Questions 12 to 15 are based on the passage you have just heard.Q 12. What do we learn about the speaker when she first started her job?Q 13. Why were uniforms invented according to the speaker?Q 14. What does the speakers say about looking smarter?Q 15. What does the speaker advise people to do in an image obsessed world?R ecording OneDid you know that Americans have approximately 3 times the amount of space we had 50 years ago? Therefore, you'd think would have sufficient room for all of our possessions. On the contrary, the personal storage business is now a growing industry. We've got triple the space, but we've become such enthusiastic consumers that we require even more. (16) This phenomenon has resulted in significant credit card debt, enormous environmental footprints, and perhaps not coincidentally our happiness levels have failed to increase over the same half century.I'm here to suggest an alternative. They’re having less might actually be a preferable decision. Many of us have experienced at some stage, the pleasure of possessing less. (17) I propose that less stuff and less space can not only help you economize, but also simplify your life. I recently started an innovative project to discover some creative solutions that offered me everything I required. By purchasing an apartment. There was 40 square meters i nstead of 60. I immediately saved $200,000. Smaller space leads to reduced utility bills and also a smaller carbon footprint, because it's designed around anedited collection of possessions, limited to my favorite stuff. I'm really excited to live there.How can we live more b asically? Firstly, we must briefly cut the unnecessary objects out of our lives to stem consumption. We should think before we buy and ask ourselves: W ill it truly make me happier? Obviously, we should possess some great stuff but w e want belongings that we’re going to love for years. Secondly, we require space efficiency. We want appliances that are design ed for use most of the time, not for occasional use. Why own a six burner when you really use even three burners?Finally, we need multifunctional spaces and housewares. I combined a movable wall with transforming furniture to get more out of my limited space. Consider my coffee table. It increases in size to accommodate ten. My office is tucked away, easily hidden. My bed simply pops out of the wall. For gas, I can relocate the movable wall and utilize the foldable guest beds I installed. I’m not saying we should all live in tiny apartments, but consider the benefits of an edited life. When you return home and walk through your front door, take a moment to ask yourselves. Could I do with a little life editing? Would that give me more freedom and more time?Question 16 to 18 are based on the recording y ou have just heard.Question 16. W hat has prevented American's happiness levels from increasing? Question 17. W hat things should we possess according to the speaker?Question 18.What do we learn about the items in the speaker’s home?Recording TwoN ow, believe it or not, (19) people sometimes lie in order to maintain a good, honest reputation, even if it hurts them to do so. At least, this is what a team of scientists is suggesting with evidence to prove it.P icture this scenario—you often drive for work and can be compensated for up to 400 miles per month. Most people at your company drive about 300 miles each month.But t his month you drove 400 miles. How many miles do you think you’d claim in your expense report? The scientists asked this exact question as part of the study we’re discussing today. W ith surprising results, they found that 12% of respondents reported the distance they drove as less than the actual figure, giving an average answer of 384 miles. In other words, they lied about the number of miles, even though they would forfeit money they were owed. The researchers believe this was to seem honest with the assumption being that others would be suspicious of a high expense claim.But why would people fabricate numbers to their own detriment?(20) The researchers explained that many people care a great deal about their reputation and how they’ll be judged by others.If they care enough, they’re concerned about appearing honest and not losing the respect of others—m aybe greater than their desire t o actually be honest. The researchers assert that the findings suggest that when people obtain very favorable outcomes, they anticipate other people’s suspicious reactions and prefer lying and appearing honest to telling the truth and appearing as selfish liars.So w hy is this research important? Well, e xperts generally agree there are two main types of lie—selfish lies and lies that are meant to benefit others. The first, as you may predict, is for selfish gain, such as submitting a fraudulent claim to an insurance company, w hile the second involves lying to help others or not offend others. For example, telling a friend whose outfit you don’t like that they look great. But the researchers are suggesting a third type of lying: lying to maintain a good reputation.Now this hypothesis is new, and some skeptics argue that this isn’t a whole new category of lie. (21)But the findings seem intuitive to me. After all, one of the main motivations for lying is to increase our worth in the eyes of others. So it seems highly likely that people will lie to seem honest.Questions 19 to 21 are based on the recording y ou have just heard.Question 19: What did a team of scientists find in their study?Question 20: why would people fabricate numbers to their own detriment according to the researchers?Question 21: What does the speaker think of the researchers findings?Recording Three(22) Why do old people dislike new music? As I’ve grown older, I often hear people my age say things like, “T hey just don’t make good music like t hey used to.”(22) Why does this happen? Luckily, psychology can give us some insights into this puzzle. Musical taste beg i n s crystallized as early as age 13 or 14. B y the time we’re in our early 20s, these tastes get locked into place pretty firmly.(23) In fact, studies have found that by the time we turn 33, most of us have stopped listening to new music. Meanwhile, popular songs released when you in the early teens are likely to remain quite popular among your age group for t he rest of your life. There could be a biological explanation for this. As there’s evidence that the brain’s ability to make subtle distinctions between different chords, rhythms, and melodies deteriorate rates with age, s o to older people, newer, less familiar songs might all sound the same.But there may be some simple r reasons for older people’s aversion to new music. (24) One of the most researched laws of social psychology is something called the “mere exposure effect”, which, in essence, means that the more we’re exposed to something, the more we tend to like it. This happens with people we know, the advertisements we see, and the songs we listen to.When you’re in your early teens, you probably spend a fair amount of time listening to music or watching music videos. Your favorite songs and artists become familiar, comforting parts of your routine. For many people over 30, job and family obligations increase. So there’s less time to spend discovering new music. Instead, many will simplylisten to old familiar favorites from that period of their lives when they had more f ree time.Of course, those teen years weren’t necessarily care f ree. They’re famously confusing, which is why so many TV shows and movies revolve around high school turmoil. Psychology research has shown that (25)the emotions that we experience as teens seem more intense than t hose that come later. And we also know that intense emotions are associated with stronger memories and preferences. Both of these might explain why the songs we listen to during this period become so memorable and beloved. So t here’s nothing wrong with your parents because t hey don’t like your music. Rather, it’s all part of the natural order of things.Questions22 to 25 are based on the recording y ou have just heard.Question 22. What does the speaker mainly discuss in this talk?Question 23. What have studies found about most people by the time they turn 33?Q uestion 24. What do we learn from one of the most researched laws of social psychology?Question 25. What might explain the fact that songs people listen to in their teen years are memorable and beloved?参考答案参考答案：（忽略ABCD序号-因为四六级选项打乱的，看答案内容）1. B) Her claim has been completely disregarded.2.

It’s so boring yet so relaxing at the same time .How did you hear about this driving simulator?M: my brother introduced it to me last year. I’m surprised to find how educational and realistic it was. it is called Euro truck simulator but we have other versions as well for Americans and so on. I was really drawn to the scenery .The routes work of three parts of the country you don't know.W: Yeah I can see that. They seem so simple，just transporting cargo from point a to point b ,driving from one city to another. But I really appreciate all the details that go into the game. It’s even giving me a new appreciation for the logistics industry like traffic in the road.M: I completely agree. my brother also introduced me to some videos of someone that display their games online. It wasfascinating to watch really. This guy can drive very carefully, obey all the road signs and traffic rules. Such a contrast to most won games.W: Honestly, playing has inspired me to look into the industry more. I read articles about how self-driving trucks with you be available and could greatly impact cargo logistics. Considering all that goes into driving is larger vehicles. It’s amazing that we could soon have that kind of technologyM: I’ve got one step further .I register to take a safe driving course to improve my real life driving skills. In a way I feel like I have my head start compared to other students in the class. Playing this video game has given me some maneuvering practice already W: I am not sure how accurate the video game is compared to real life situations.
