Ithas 26 from Detroit to Silicon Valley, where self-driving vehicles are coming into life. In a 27 to takeproduction back to Detroit, Michigan lawmakers have introduced 28 that could make their state thebest place in the country, if not the world, to develop self-driving vehicles and put them on theroad. “Michigan ’2s9 in auto research and development is under attack from several states andcountries which desire to 30 our leadership in transportation. We can ’ t let happen, ” says Senator Mik Kowall, the lead 31 of four bills recently introduced. If all four bills pass as written, they would 32 asubstantial update of Michigan ’2s013 law that allowed the testing of self-driving vehicles in limitedconditions. Manufacturer would have nearly total freedom to test their self-driving technology on publicroads. They would be allowed to send groups of self-driving cars on cross-state road trips, and even seton-demand 33 of self-driving cars, like the one General Motors and Lyft are building.

Identify the paragraph from which the information is derived. You may choose a paragraph more than once. Each paragraph is marked with a letter. Answer the questions by marking the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 2.How Work Will Change When Most of Us Live to 100A) Today in the United States there are 72,000 centenarians（百岁老人）.Worldwide, Probably450,000. If current trends continue, then by 2050 there will be more than a million in the US alone. According to the work of Professor James Vaupel and his co-researchers, 50% of babies born in the USin 2007 have a life expectancy of 104 or more. Broadly the same holds for the UK, Germany, France, Italy and Canada, and for Japan 50% of 2007 babies can expect to live to 107.B) Understandably, there are concerns about what this means for public finances given the associated health and pension challenges. These challenges are real, and society urgently needs to a ddress them. But it is also important to look at the wider picture of what happens when so many people live for100 years. It is a mistake to simply equatelongevity( 长寿) with issues of old age. Longer lives haveimplications for all of life, not just the end of it.C) Our view is that if many people are living for longer, and are healthier for longer, then this willresult in an inevitable redesign of work and life. When people live longer, they are not only older for longer, but also younger for longer. There is some truth in the saying that “70 is the new 60 or “”40 the new 30. ”If you age more slowly over a longer time period, then you are in some sense younger for longer.D) But the changes go further than that. Take, for instance, the age at which people make commitments such as buying a house, getting married, having children, or starting a career. These are all fundamental commitments that are now occurring later in life. In 1962, 50% of Americans were marriedby age 21. By 2014, that milestone(里程碑)had shifted to age 29.E) While there are numerous factors behind these shifts, one factor is surely a growing realizationfor the young that they are going to live longer. Options are more valuable the longer they can be held. Soif you believe you will live longer, then options become more valuable, and early commitment becomesless attractive. The result is that the commitments that previously characterized the beginning of adulthood are now being delayed, and new patterns of behavior and a new stage of life are emerging for those in their twenties.F) Longevity also pushes back the age of retirement, and not only for financial reasons. Yes, unless people are prepared to save a lot more, our calculations suggest that if you are now in your mid-40s, then you are likely to work until your early 70s; and if you are in your early 20s, there is a real chance you will need to work until your late 70s or possibly even into your 80s. But even if people are able to economically support a retirement at 65, over thirty years of potential inactivity is harmfulto cognitive(认知的) and emotional vitality. Many people may simply not want to do it.G) And yet that does not mean that simply extending our careers is appealing. Just lengthening that second stage of full-time work may secure the financial assets needed for a 100-year life, but such persistent work will inevitably exhaust precious intangible assets such as productive skills, vitality, happiness, and friendship.H) The same is true for education. It is impossible that a single shot of education, administered in childhood and early adulthood, will be able to support a sustained, 60-year career. If you factor in the projected rates of technological change, either your skills will become unnecessary, or your industry outdated. That means that everyone will, at some point in their life, have to make a number of major reinvestments in their skills.I) It seems likely, then, that the traditional three-stage life will evolve into multiple stages containing two, three, or oven more different careers. Each of these stages could potentially be different. In one the focus could be on building financial success and personal achievement, in another on creating a better work/life balance, still another on exploring and understanding options more fully, or becoming an independent producer, yet another on making a sociaContribution. These stages will span sectors, take people to different cities, and provideFoundation for building a wide variety of skills.J) Transitions between stages could be marked with sabbaticals(休假) as people find timrest and recharge their health, re-invest in their relationships, or improve their skills. At times,these breaks and transitions will be self-determined, at others they will be forced as existing roles, firms, or industries cease to exist.K）A multi-stage life will have profound changes not just in how you manage your career, but also inyour approach to life. An increasingly important skill will be your ability to deal with change and even welcome it. A three-stage life has few transitions, while a multi-stage life has many. That is why beingself-aware, investing in broader networks of friends, and being open to new ideas will become even more crucial skills.L）These multi-stage lives will create extraordinary variety across groups of people simply becausethere are so many ways of sequencing the stages. More stages mean more possible sequences.M ）With this variety will come the end of the close association of age and stage. I n a three-stage life,people leave university at the same time and the same age, they tend to start their careers and family at the same age, they proceed through middle management all roughly the same time, and then move into retirement within a few years of each other. In a multi-stage life, you could be an undergraduate at 20, 40, or 60; a manager at 30, 50, or 70; and become an independent producer at any age.N）Current life structures, career paths, educational choices, and social norms are out of tune withthe emerging reality of longer lifespans. The three-stage life of full-time education, followed bycontinuous work, and then complete retirement may have worked for our parents or even grandparents,but it is not relevant today. We believe that to focus on longevity as primarily an issue of aging is to missits full implications. Longevity is not necessarily about being older for longer. It is about living longer,being older later, and being younger longer.36. An extended lifespan in the future will allow people to have more careers than now.37. Just extending one ’ s career may have both positive and negative effects.38. Nowadays, many Americans have on average delayed their marriage by some eight years.39. Because of their longer lifespan, young people today no longer follow the pattern of life of theirparents or grandparents.40. Many more people will be expected to live over 100 by the mid-21st century.41. A longer life will cause radical changes in people ’ s approach to life.42. Fast technological change makes it necessary for one to constantly upgrade their skills.43. Many people may not want to retire early because it would do harm to their mental andemotional well-being.44. The close link between age and stage may cease to exist in a multi-stage life.45. People living a longer and healthier life will have to rearrange their work and life.Section CDirections: There are 2 passages in this section. Each passage is followed by some questions orunfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A), B), C) and D). You should decideon the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 2 with a single line through thecentre.Passage OneQuestions 46 to 50 are based on the following passage.In the classic marriage vow（誓约）, couples promise to stay together in sickness and in health. But anew study finds that the risk of divorce among older couples rises when the wife-not the husband—becomes seriously ill.“ Married women diagnosed with a serious health condition may find themselves struggling with theimpact of their disease while also experiencing the stress of divorce, said researcher Ame”lia Karraker.Karraker and co-author Kenzie Latham analyzed 20 years of data on 2,717 marriages from a studyconducted by Indiana University since 1992. At the time of the first interview, at least one of the partnerswas over the age of 50.The researchers examined how the onse（t 发生）of four serious physical illnesses affected marriages.They found that, overall, 31% of marriages ended in divorce over the period studied. The incidence ofnew chronic（慢性的）illness onset increased over time as will, with more husbands than wives developingserious health problems.“ We found that women are doubly vulnerable to marital break -up in the face of illness, Karrake”rsaid. “ They’ re more likely to be widowed, and i f they ’ re the noes who become ill, they ’ re mor get divorced. ”While the study didn ’a t ssesswhy divorce in more likely when wives but not husbands becomeseriously ill, Karraker offers a few possible reasons. “ Gendernorms and social expectations aboutcaregiving many make it more difficult for men to provide care to sick spo uses, ”Karraker said. “ Andbecause of the imbalance in marriage markets, especially in older ages, divorced men have more choices among prospective partners than divorced women. ”Given the increasing concern about health care costs for the aging population, Karraker believes policymakers should be aware of the relationship between disease and risk of divorce.“ Offering support services to spouses caring for their other halves may reduce marital stress and prevent divorce at older ages, she sai”d. “But it a’lso s important to recognize that the pressure to divorce may be health-related and that sick ex-wives may need additional care and services to prevent worsening health and increased health costs. ”46. What can we learn about marriage vows from the passage?A) They may not guarantee a lasting marriage.B) They are as binding as they used to be.C) They are not taken seriously any more.D) They may help couples tide over hard times.47. What did Karraker and co-author Kenzie Latham find about elderly husbands?A) They are generally not good at taking care of themselves.B) They can become increasingly vulnerable to serious illnesses.C) They can develop different kinds of illnesses just like their wives.D) They are more likely to contract serious illnesses than their wives.48. What does Karraker say about women who fall ill?A) They are more likely to be widowed.B) They are more likely to get divorced.C) They are less likely to receive good care.D) They are less likely to bother their spouses.49. Why is it more difficult for men to take care of their sick spouses according to Karraker?A) They are more accustomed to receiving care.B) They find it more important to make money for the family.C) They think it more urgent to fulfill their social obligations.D) They expect society to do more of the job.50. What does Karraker think is also important?A) Reducing marital stress on wives.B) Stabilizing old couples ’ s relations.C) Providing extra care for divorced women.D) Making men pay for their wives health’costs.Passage TwoQuestions 51 to 55 are based on the following passage.If you were like most children, you probably got upset when your mother called you by asibling s(’兄弟姐妹的)name. How could she not know you? Did it mean she loved you less?Probably not. According to the first research to tackle this topic head-on, misnaming the most familiar people in our life is a common cognitive ( 认知的)error that has to do with how our memoriesclassify and store familiar names.The study, published online in April in the journal Memory and Cognition,found that the “wrong”name is not random but is invariably fished out from the same relationship pond: children, siblings, friends. The study did not examine the possibility of deep psychological significance to themistake, says psychologist David Rubin, “b ut it does tell us who ’ s in and who ’ s out of the group. ”The study also found that within that group, misnamings occurred where the names shared initial orinternal sounds, like Jimmy and Joanie or John and Bob. Physical resemblance between people was not afactor. Nor was gender.The researchers conducted five separate surveys of more than 1,700 people. Some of the surveysincluded only college students; others were done with a mixed-age population. Some asked subjectsabout incidents where someone close to them —family or friend —had called them by another person ’s name. The other surveys asked about times when subjects had themselves called someone close to themby the wrong name. All the surveys found that people mixed up names within relationship groups such as grandchildren, friends and siblings but hardly ever crossed these boundaries.In general, the study found that undergraduates were almost as likely as old people to make thismistake and men as likely as women. Older people and this mistake and men as likely as women. Olderpeople and women made the mistake slightly more often, but that may be because grandparents havemore grandchildren to mix up than parents have children. Also, mothers may call on their children moreoften than fathers, given traditional gender norms. There was no evidence that errors occurred morewhen the misnamer was frustrated, tired or angry.51. H ow might people often feel when they were misnamed?A)Unwanted.B)Unhappy.C)Confused.D)Indifferent.52. W hat did David Rubin ’ s research find about misnaming?A) I t is related to the way our memories work.B) I t is a possible indicator of a faulty memory.C) I t occurs mostly between kids and their friends.D) I t often causes misunderstandings among people.53. What is most likely the cause of misnaming?A) Similar personality traits.B) Similar spellings of names.C) Similar physical appearance.D) Similar pronunciation of names.54. What did the surveys of more than 1,700 subjects find about misnaming?A) It more often than not hurts relationships.B) It hardly occurs across gender boundaries.C) It is most frequently found in extended families.D) It most often occurs within a relationship groups.55. Why do mothers misname their children more often than fathers?A) They suffer more frustrations.B) They become worn out more often.C) They communicate more with their children.D) They generally take on more work at home.Part ⅣTranslation (30 minutes)Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to translate a passage from Chinese into English.

wonderful.”PARTⅤREADING COMPREHENSION[35MIN]SECTION A MULTIPLE CHOICE QUESTIONSIn this section there are three passages followed by ten multiple choice questions.For each multiple choice question,there are four suggested answers marked[A],[B],[C]and[D].Choose the one that you think is the best answer and mark your answers on ANSWER SHEET TWO.PASSAGE ONE(1)Life can be tough for immigrants in America.As a Romanian bank clerk in Atlanta puts it,to find a good job“you have to be like a wolf in the forest—able to smell out the best meat.”And if you can’t find work,don’t expect the taxpayer to bail you out.Unlike in some European countries,it is extremely hard for an able-bodied immigrant to live off the state.A law passed in1996explicitly bars most immigrants,even those with legal status, from receiving almost any federal benefits.(2)That is one reason why America absorbs immigrants better than many other rich countries,according to a new study by the University of California.The researchers sought to measure the effect of immigration on the native-born in20rich countries,taking into account differences in skills between immigrants and natives,imperfect labor markets and the size of the welfare state in each country.(3)Their results offer ammunition for fans of more open borders.In19out of20countries,the authors calculated that shutting the doors entirely to foreign workers would make the native-born worse off.Never mind what it would do to the immigrants themselves,who benefit far more than anyone else from being allowed to cross borders to find work.(4)The study also suggests that most countries could handle more immigration than they currently allow.In America,a one-percentage point increase in the proportion of immigrants in the population made the native-born 0.05%better off.The opposite was true in some countries with generous or ill-designed welfare states,however.A one-point rise in immigration made the native-born slightly worse off in Austria,Belgium,Germany,Luxembourg, the Netherlands,Sweden and Switzerland.In Belgium,immigrants who lose jobs can receive almost two-thirds of their most recent wage in state benefits,which must make the hunt for a new job less urgent.(5)None of these effects was large,but the study undermines the claim that immigrants steal jobs from natives or drag down their wages.Many immigrants take jobs that Americans do not want,the study finds.This “smooths”the labor market and ultimately creates more jobs for locals.Native-owned grocery stores do better business because there are immigrants to pick the fruit they sell.Indian computer scientists help American software firms expand.A previous study found that because immigrants typically earn less than locals with similar skills, they boost corporate profits,prompting companies to grow and hire more locals.41.Increase in immigration in Austria fails to improve locals’life mainly because of________.[A]low wages for locals[B]imperfect labor markets[C]the design of the welfare system[D]inadequate skills of immigrants42.Who will favor the study results by researchers from the University of California?[A]People who have legal status.[B]People who run businesses.[C]People who receive state benefits.[D]People who are willing to earn less.43.It can be inferred from the passage that the author’s attitude toward immigrant is________.[A]cautiously favorable[B]slightly negative[C]strongly negative[D]quite ambiguousPASSAGE TWO(1)There was something in the elderly woman’s behavior that caught my eye.Although slow gestures,and unsure of step the woman moved with deliberation,and there was no hesitation in her gestures.She was as good as anyone else,her movements suggested.And she had a job to do.(2)It was a few years ago,and I had taken a part-time holiday-season job in a video store at the local shopping mall.From inside the store,I’d begun to see the people rushing by outside in the mall’s concourse as a river of humanity.(3)The elderly woman had walked into the store along with a younger woman who guessed was her daughter.The daughter was displaying a serious case of impatience,rolling her eyes,huffing and sighing,checking her watch every few seconds.If she had possessed a leash,her mother would have been fastened to it as a means of tugging her along to keep step with the rush of other shoppers.(4)The older woman detached from the younger one and began to tick through the DVDs on the nearest shelf. After the slightest hesitation,I walked over and asked if I could help her find something.The woman smiled up at me and showed me a title scrawled on a crumpled piece of paper.The title was unusual and a bit obscure.Clearly a person looking for it knew a little about movies,about quality.(5)Rather than rushing off to locate the DVD for the woman,I asked her to walk with me so I could show her where she could find it.Looking back,I think I wanted to enjoy her company for a moment.Something about her deliberate movements reminded me of my own mother,who’d passed away the previous Christmas.(6)As we walked along the back of the store,I narrated its floor plan:old television shows,action movies, cartoons,science fiction.The woman seemed glad of the unrushed company and casual conversation.(7)We found the movie,and I complimented her on her choice.She smiled and told me it was one she’d enjoyed when she was her son’s age and that she hoped he would enjoy it as much as she had.Maybe,she said with a hint of wistfulness he could enjoy it with his own young children.Then,reluctantly,I had to return the elderly woman to her keeper,who was still tapping her foot at the front of the store.(8)I escorted the older woman to the queue at the cash register and then stepped back and lingered near the younger woman.When the older woman’s turn in line came,she paid in cash,counting out the dollars and coins with the same sureness she'd displayed earlier.(9)As the cashier tucked the DVD into a plastic bag,I walked over to the younger woman.(10)“Is that your mom?”I asked.(11)I halfway expected her to tell me it was none of my business.But possibly believing me to be tolerant of her impatience,she rolled her eyes and said,“Yeah.”There was exasperation in her reply,half sigh and half groan.(12)Still watching the mother,I said,“Mind some advice?”(13)“Sure,”said the daughter.(14)I smiled to show her I wasn’t criticizing.“Cherish her,”I said.And then I answered her curious expression by saying,“When she’s gone,it’s the little moments that’ll come back to you.Moments like this.I know.”(15)It was true.I missed my mom still and remembered with melancholy clarity the moments when I’d used my impatience to make her life miserable.(16)The elderly woman moved with her deliberate slowness back to her daughter’s custody.Together they made their way toward the store’s exit.They stood there for a moment,side by side,watching the rush of the holiday current and for their place in it.Then the daughter glanced over and momentarily regarded her mother.And slowly,almost reluctantly,she placed her arm with apparently unaccustomed affection around her mother’s shoulders and gently guided her back into the crowds.44.What does“she had a job to do”(Para.1)mean according to the context?[A]She had a regular job in the store.[B]She was thinking of what to buy.[C]She wanted to ask for help.[D]She wanted to buy a DVD.45.What does the title of the DVD reveal according to the shop assistant?[A]The elderly woman had some knowledge about movies.[B]The elderly woman liked movies for young children.[C]The elderly woman preferred movies her son liked.[D]The elderly woman liked both old and new movies.46.In the passage the elderly woman’s daughter is described as being________.[A]impolite[B]uncaring[C]naive[D]miserly47.While looking for the DVD with the old woman,the shop assistant was________.[A]hesitant[B]indifferent[C]frustrated[D]patientPASSAGE THREE(1)Reading award-winning literature may boost your ability to read other people,a new study suggests. Researchers at the New School for Social Research,in New York City,found that when they had volunteers read works of acclaimed“literary fiction”,it seemed to temporarily improve their ability to interpret other people’s emotions.The same was not true of nonfiction or“popular”fiction,the mystery,romance and science-fiction books that often dominate bestseller lists.(2)Experts said the findings,reported online in Science,suggest that literature might help people to be more perceptive and engaged in their lives.(3)“Reading literary fiction isn’t just for passing the time.It’s not just an escape,”said Keith Oatley,a professor emeritus of cognitive psychology at the University of Toronto.It also enables us to better understand others,and then take that into our daily lives.(4)Oatley was not involved in the new research,but worked on some of the first studies to suggest that reading literature can boost people’s empathy for others.His team has found that those who read a lot of fiction tend to show greater empathy on standard tests,but the same is not true of avid nonfiction fans.(5)But,the study by Oatley and his team cannot prove that literature boosts empathy—empathetic folks may just be drawn to reading fiction,whereas the new study does offer some“cause-and-effect”evidence,Oatley said. For the study,researchers set up a series of five experiments in which participants read either literary fiction, popular fiction,nonfiction or nothing at all before taking some standard tests.One of the tests is known as “Reading the Mind in the Eyes”.People have to look at photos of actors’eyes,and then guess what emotion is being expressed in each.The test is considered a measure of empathy.Overall,study participants fared better on the test after reading literary fiction,versus the other three conditions.(6)It was a small improvement,according to the principal researcher David Comer Kidd,“It’s not like talking people from a(grade)‘C’to an‘A’,”he said.But,Kidd added,the effect was seen after only about10minutes’reading,and it was a statistically strong finding,meaning it’s unlikely to have been due to chance.(7)“Literary”fiction has no hard-and-fast definition.So Kidd and his colleagues chose contemporary works that have won or been finalists for outstanding literary awards.They included“The Round House”,by Louise Erdrich,“Salvage the Bones”,by Jesmyn Ward and the short story“Corrie”by Alice Munro.And“popular”fiction included best-sellers like“Gone Girl”by Gillian Flynn,and Danielle Steel’s“The Sins of the Mother”.(8)What’s so special about literary fiction?“For one,it’s usually more focused on characters than on plot,”Kidd noted.But beyond that,he said,there is usually no single“authoritative narrator”who takes us through the story.“It demands that the reader almost become a writer and fill in the gaps.You really have to think about the characters,”Kidd said.(9)Oatley agreed.“Alice Munro doesn’t tell you what to think,”he said.“You,yourself,have to make inferences about characters.And that’s often what we’re doing in our real-life conversations.”Or at least that’s what people could do.(10)Reading literary fiction could also offer a way to“practice”your social skills and use them more in real life,according to another researcher not involved in the study.“It’s like how pilots train in a flight simulator,”said Raymond Mar,an associate professor of psychology at York University,in Toronto,who has collaborated with Oatley.“This is a great study,”Mar said of the new study.But he added that the overall research in this area is“still in its infancy”and one key question is whether literary fiction really is better than other fiction.(11)Mar and his colleagues recently found that fans of romance novels tended to do best on tests of empathy. Unlike the current study,Mar’s study did not test people after having them read different types of fiction.So it’s possible that there is something else about romance-novel readers that makes them more understanding of others.(12)Still,according to Mar,it’s too early to tell people to trade in their Danielle Steel for Alice Munro,at least if the goal is boosting empathy.(13)It’s also possible that plays,movies or even TV shows could build your empathy muscles,according to Kidd.But reading may be special,he said,because it provides no visuals and you have to engage your imagination more.(14)Everyone agreed that the findings suggest literature is important beyond entertainment or improving vocabulary.“There’s a common belief that reading literature is frivolous,or not practical,”Mar said.“But there’s a growing body of evidence that it’s important in skills that we need in our lives.”48.According to the new study,what kind of books are likely to help people better understand others’feelings?[A]Science fiction[B]Romance novels[C]Literary fiction.[D]Nonfiction.49.Which of the following statements is CORRECT according to the passage?[A]Oatley and his colleagues were involved in the new study.[B]Mar and his team also tested people after reading fiction.[C]Kidd and his team had people read prestigious fiction.[D]Kidd and his team were uncertain about their study results.50.Which of the following is NOT a special feature of literary fiction?[A]More focus on character description.[B]Presence of an authoritative narrator.[C]Demand on readers’ability to infer.[D]Presence of readers’empathetic feelings.SECTION B SHORT ANSWER QUESTIONSIn this section there are five short answer questions based on the passages in Section A.Answer the questions with NO MORE THAN TEN WORDS in the space provided on ANSWER SHEET TWO. PASSAGE ONE51.What does the statement,“...don’t expect the taxpayer to bail you out.”mean?(Para.1)PASSAGE TWO52.Why did the shop assistant lead the elderly woman to find the DVD instead of finding it for her?53.What does the last sentence in Para.16imply about the daughter’s attitude towards her mother? PASSAGE THREE54.What are the two main advantages of reading literary fiction according to the passage?55.Why is reading special when compared with plays and movies?PARTⅥWRITING[45MIN] Read carefully the following excerpt and then write your response in NO LESS THAN200words,in which you should:1)summarize the main message of the report,and then2)comment on Brewer’s view that parents should join in with their kids rather than limit their media consumption.You can support yourself with information from the report.Marks will be awarded for content relevance,content sufficiency,organization and language quality. Failure to follow the above instructions may result in a loss of marks.Write your response on ANSWER SHEET THREE.How much screen time is too much for kids?Parents have been advised to limit media consumption of their children,but research suggests it’s the nature of it that matters.For many parents in the digital age,battles with their kids over screen time and devices have become a depressing part of family life.Many parents will now be relieved to hear that recent research suggests that it’s not so much the length,but the nature of the screen time that matters.Jocelyn Brewer,a psychologist who specializes in the concept of“digital nutrition”,likens media diets to what’s on our plates:rather than counting calories(or screen time),think about what you’re eating.“It’s not just about whether you consume any potential digital junk foods,but also your relationship totechnology and the role it plays in your family life,”says Brewer.For young children,the most important thing is whether parents and kids are playing,watching or browsing together.A study of20,000parents published late last year by the Oxford Internet Institute and Cardiff University determined that there was no correlation between limiting device use and children’s well-being.The study’s lead author Dr Andrew Pryzbylski said:“Our findings suggest the broader family context how parents set rules about digital screen time,and if they’re actively engaged in exploring the digital world together,are more important than the raw screen time.”“The consensus is that screen time,in and of itself,is not harmful—and reasonable restrictions vary greatly, depending on a child’s behavior and personality.There is little point in worrying about how many minutes a day your kids are spending with screens,”says Brewer.“Instead,parents should be doing what they can to ensure that what they’re watching,playing and reading is high-quality,age-appropriate and safe—and joining in wherever possible.”——THE END——ANSWER SHEET1(TEM4)PARTⅡLISTENING COMPREHENSIONSECTION A TALK下列各题必须使用黑色字迹签字笔在答题区域作答，超出矩形边框限定区域的答案无效。
