Reading Comprehension Part III Section (40minutes) A Directions:In this section,there is a passage with ten blanks.You are required to select one word for each blank from a list of choices given in a word bank following the passage.Read the passage through carefully before making your choices.Each choice in the bank is identified by a letter.Please mark the corresponding letter for each item on Answer Sheet 2with a single line through the centre.You may not use any of the words in the bank more than once. The Sun Is Also a Star is a truly lovely story of love,romance,fate,and destiny.Natasha is a Jamaican-born immigrant living 26 in America,not by choice exactly.Her parents brought her over and created the situation she 27 to be out of.Daniel is an American born of Korean immigrants.He believes in true love,fate,and all that other nonsense that Natasha 28through scientific reasoning.Daniel and Natasha meet by 29 on the streets of New York on the day that she is to be 30 .She doesn’t tell him that but does allow him to keep her company while he tries to get her to fall in love with him over the course of the day.Natasha is me.I found her so similar to myself.She’s scientifically-minded,practical,somewhat cynical,and always 31 .Her obsession with the universe through a scientific lens is infectious and I 32 Daniel seeing that too.Daniel is charming and passionate and has a way with words that even 33 Natasha’s tough outer shell.By the end of the book I fell in love with both of them.I used to find romance stories to always be cheap or laughable.I think now I can see the value in escaping into a story of pure optimism.I got 34 in The Sun Is Also a Star and finished it cover to cover in a weekend.I couldn’t wait to get to what I hoped would be a happy ending.It’s nice every once in a while to give in to magic.It doesn’t have to be a hard fantasy novel with actual spells,it can be the magic found between two people who just have that special something.That 35 that causes them to react and spark when they’re near each other.Section BDirections:In this section,you are going to read a passage with ten statements attached to it.Each statement contains information given in one of the paragraphs.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 Sheet2.These are the habits to avoid if you want to make a behavior changeA.According to recent research,behavioral change involves physical changes in the brain.In the past decade,researchers have shown that when it comes to the duration of making a new behavior a deep-rooted habit there is not a simple answer.Even for the most productive and disciplined among us,undoing something that has become an automatic part of who we are takes more than an overnight effort.Once we’ve successfully made that change,we then have to make other adjustments to our lives to ensure that we continue to maintain it,which is often a whole other challenge in itself.B.At its core,success in changing and maintaining a behavior rarely occurs without the introduction of somesort of system.When there isn’t the right framework in place,we face a greater likelihood of derailing our hard-earned progress.To ensure success in changing and maintaining a behavior,we should stay away from some detrimental habits.C.The first one to avoid is relying on willpower.Think about the last time you vowed to resist a temptation.Perhaps you didn’t want to check your phone every15minutes,or you were determined not to reach for a chocolate bar at3p.m.Think about how difficult it must have been not to glance at your phone when it was within reach,or not to walk to the vending machine when your afternoon slump hit.D.The research on whether we have finite or infinite willpower is inconclusive,but experts do generally agreethat you can’t change and sustain a habit if you rely on your willpower alone.The old military saying“You never rise to the occasion,you only sink to the level of training”also applies to behavior change.The idea is simple—you repeat something so many times that it becomes automatic.E.Think about what else you can change about your surrounding that makes it easier for you to perform thischange on a daily basis.This is called your“cue.”Basically,it’s a trigger to perform that particular habit.If you don’t want to reach for a sugary treat at3p.m.,have a box of herbal tea ready at your desk.When3p.m.comes around,that’s your cue to pour yourself a cup of hot water and drink that tea,instead of walking to the vending machine.F.The second one to avoid is focusing on negative goals.Sometimes,it’s not your process that lets you down,but the habit that you want to change in the first place.For starters,not eating chocolate to beat your afternoon slump is a harder goal than swapping chocolate for herbal tea when you reach the designated time.Your brain wants to find routines that have succeeded in the past and allow you to repeat those actions again in the future without having to think about them explicitly.However,this habit-learning system isn’t so effective when it comes to learning not to do something.That’s why rather than giving up something,think about introducing something in its place.Focus on actions you are going to take that will ultimately conflict with the behaviors you want to stop.When your attention is on doing something new,you give your habit system a chance to operate.G.The third one to avoid is using the same strategies in different circumstances.Because we are creatures ofhabit,it’s natural to assume that when we do manage to adopt and sustain a desirable behavior,that same strategy will work when we want to make another behavior change.But that’s not always the case.Sometimes,the system that got you to change one behavior might not work for another.H.Sometimes we become accustomed to relying on our guts when it comes to decision-making.This serves uswell in certain situations,but can hinder us in others especially when we need to consider metrics and data, rather than letting our instinct override everything.For example,if you want to stop checking your email first thing in the morning,you might decide to substitute another activity in its place.But if you want to stop indulging in video games,simply deciding you will go for a run might not be as effective.You might need to introduce another reinforcement,such as meeting a friend and booking an exercise class together.I.The fourth one to avoid is not forgiving ourselves for slipping up.Of course,even the best-laid plans failsometimes.You might have stuck to your screen-free nighttime routine for five days,and then a big project landed on your desk and you found yourself in bed with your laptop before you went to sleep.Or you prepared meals on Sunday and stuck to eating healthy dinners at home,but by Friday you found yourself so exhausted and opted to order greasy takeout.Life happens and even if your behavior change is small,every single day can prove pretty inflexible,and at some point your luck may run out,even if just for a day.The perfectionist in you might be screaming to abandon your goals altogether,but try to see it in the bigger picture.Just because you might have temporarily strayed off course doesn’t mean you can’t start afresh the next day.J.The final one to avoid is discounting small progress.There’s a habit that many perfectionists tend to fall into when they try to establish a behavior change.They focus too much on the big goal and don’t take the time to celebrate the small progress they make in the process.Your brain responds to rewards.The basal ganglia,the brain region linked to our performance of habits,is most active at the beginning of a behavior,when the habit is cued,and at the end,when it’s rewarded.Say your goal is to run five miles three times a week,and this week you ran one mile on Monday,Wednesday,and Friday.Rather than focusing on how far you’ve gone toward your goal,think about how you can reward yourself for the progress you’ve made.It doesn’t have to be big or expensive;it can be something as simple as making your favorite fruit juice after your run.Whatever your reward,it has to be more than just the activity itself to get you going.K.Initiating a new behavior usually seems like the hardest part of the process of change.However,people often fail to adequately prepare for maintaining it.One of the reasons for this is because we mistakenly believe the strategies we used to initiate the change will be equally effective in helping us continue the change.But they won’t.Where changing a strongly deep-rooted habit requires changing our belief about that habit that penetrates deeply into our lives,continually manifesting that wisdom requires that we maintain a positive outlook.If our mood is low,the wisdom to behave differently seems to disappear and we go back to eating more and exercising less.The key,then,to maintaining new behaviors is to be happy!Which is why it’s so hard to maintain new behaviors.L.Remember,overcoming the behavioral inertia that prevents us from implementing new changes,like eatinga healthy diet or exercising,can benefit us in the long run and can improve our physical and mental health.No one was born with habits.They were all learned,and can all,therefore,be unlearned.The question is: how badly do you really want to change?36.There is general consensus among experts that willpower alone cannot guarantee one’s success in changingand maintaining a habit.37.One need not abandon their goals completely just because they missed their target temporarily;they canstart anew.38.Research shows it is quite another challenge to maintain a behavioral change after you have initiated it.39.It is wrong to assume the strategies we use to start a change of behavior will work equally well in helpingmaintain it.40.Sometimes,it may not be successful to simply substitute one activity with another to effect a change ofhabit;you may need extra reinforcement.41.One should introduce something new to replace an old habit instead of simply kicking it.42.Perfectionists focus too much on their big target and neglect celebrating the small gains they make in theprocess.43.It is of great benefit to us in the long term to conquer the inertia that stops us from making behavioralchanges.44.The strategy that successfully changed one of your behaviors may not work for some other behavior ofyours.45.Without a happy mood,it seems that our wisdom to adopt a different behavior vanishes.Section CDirections:There are2passages in this section.Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements.For each of them there are four choices marked A),B),C)and D).You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet2with a single line through the centre.Passage OneQuestions46to50are based on the following passage.The“American Dream”promises that in the Land of Opportunity,any individual can climb the economic ladder and prosper through hard work and ambition alone.And yet,young Americans today are struggling to earn more than their parents did at the same age,and upward mobility in the US actually compares unfavourably to that of other industrialised nations.So why does the idea of the American Dream persist?A new study in the American Journal of Political Science identifies one factor that has been overlooked:the influence of reality TV.Reality shows have come to dominate US television over the past20years,notes Eunji Kim from Vanderbilt University.And the overwhelming majority of these have a“rags-to-riches”storyline:they feature ordinary Americans who work hard to achieve great economic success.And while these programmes are regularly among the most-watched shows,news broadcasts—which paint a more realistic view of the economic hardship faced by millions of Americans—get a much smaller proportion of the viewership.Rags-to-riches stories are ubiquitous(无处不在的)on TV—but does watching these programmes actually convince people that economic mobility is easily attainable?To find out,Kim’s team had participants watch a5-minute clip from a reality show with a rags-to-riches storyline.Control participants watched a clip from a reality show that didn’t have a rags-to-riches story.After watching the shows,participants rated how much they agreed with four statements relating to the American Dream.The results showed that those who’d watched a rags-to-riches clip did indeed have a significantly greater belief in the American Dream.Interestingly,when participants were separated by party affiliation,this effect was significant among Republicans but not Democrats,suggesting that the kind of messages implicit in these TV shows may play into people’s existing socioeconomic beliefs.Kim also conducted a survey of3,000US residents.They also rated the extent to which they believed success in life is related to various internal factors(such as ambition)and external factors(such as family wealth).Finally,they read a list of TV programmes and indicated which they regularly watched.Participants who were heavy viewers of rags-to-riches programmes or frequent viewers had a stronger belief in the American Dream than those who never watched such shows.Kim concludes that“rags-to-riches entertainment media are an important cultural force that promotes and perpetuates beliefs in upward mobility”.And here’s the problem:if people mistakenly believe that hard work is all that is needed for individuals to make a better life for themselves,they may be less supportive of policies that could actually combat inequality.“In this era of choice,entertainment media are what captures hearts and minds,”Kim writes.“Its political consequences are anything but trivial”.46.What do we learn from the passage about young Americans of today?A.They have greater ambitions than their parents.B.They find it difficult to achieve upward mobility.C.They have overtaken their parents in terms of earnings.D.They envy the opportunities in other industrialised nations.47.What does Kim’s team find about reality TV shows in America?A.They reinterpret the essence of the popular rags-to-riches culture.B.They urge people to achieve economic success through hard work.C.They help strengthen people’s conviction in the American Dream.D.They feature ordinary Americans striving for social recognition.48.What does the author say about news broadcasts in America?A.They attract far fewer viewers than reality TV.B.They are bent on reporting the dark side of life.C.They stand in striking contrast with reality TV.D.They focus on Americans’economic hardships.49.What can we infer from the passage about Republicans in general?A.They believe strongly in the American Dream.B.They strive to climb the socio-economic ladder.C.They have a very strong affiliation with their party.D.They tend to watch more rags-to-riches TV shows.50.What is stated about people who believe in upward mobility?A.They are likely to blame the government for their plight.B.They regard political consequences as anything but trivial.C.They respect individuals striving to climb the social ladder.D.They are less likely to approve of policies to fight inequality.Passage TwoQuestions51to55are based on the following passage.When someone asks us“what do you do?”we nearly always reply with our occupation.Work,for many of us,is much more than a job.It is the defining aspect of our identity.For many of us it is through our job that we can define ourselves.“Without my job I don’t know who I am,”is a sentence that has been uttered on more than a handful of occasions from my office chair.Indeed,it can be one of the most challenging aspects I work on with clients who have lost or been forced into changing their jobs.This loss provokes an identity crisis much greater than the loss of the job itself.One of the things I have come to understand,however,is that our identity is much more complex than werecognise at first glance.If we take the time to reflect we might recognise that as well as our work we can also identify as a friend,a spouse,a son or daughter,a parent,a member of a sports team or religious community.We may recognise that we feel and act differently in these roles and relationships than we do at work.The passive daughter becomes an assertive leader at work.Furthermore,our identities at work are not static.They change over time.I myself have been a shop assistant,a waitress,a student,a graduate,and a clinical psychologist.At each stage my ability to adapt to and develop my career identity has been crucial to my wellbeing.Whilst we like to eliminate uncertainty in our lives at some level we have to manage uncertainty,especially in today’s volatile and ever-shifting job market.How we see ourselves is central to the isue of our identity.When we tell ourselves“I’m good at starting projects but not so great at seeing them through”it can become part of our belief system.But if you have the unfortunate experience of an enforced job change you will need to examine those beliefs to see how grounded in reality they are.You will be required to ask yourself how helpful these beliefs are and consider personal change.We can change our beliefs,behaviours and emotional experience at any time through experimentation, practice and conscious self-discipline.In an age where career progression may lead us into new sectors it is ever more important to challenge our sense of self and explore whether you can create a new experience of your identity by changing the beliefs you hold about yourself in order to expand your career options.Ultimately it is you who define who you are.You are only your job if you let it be so.51.What do we learn from the passage about one’s loss of a job?A.It compels them to visit a clinical psychologist.B.It offers them a chance to play different roles.52.What has the author come to understand about our C.It renders them puzzled about who they are.D.It forces them to redefine their life’s goals.identity?A.It is crucial to our emotional wellbeing.B.It plays a big role in many facets of life.53.What does the passage say about our identities atC.It reflects our changing status in society.D.It is more complicated than it appears. work?A.They are essential to our self-esteem.B.They evolve with the passage of time.54.What do we have to do in today’s ever-changing jobC.They overrule all other self-perceptions.D.They are key to understanding ourselves. market?A.Strive to develop our social identity.B.Prepare for different career paths.55.What should we do to expand our careerC.Try to be assertive at all times.D.Learn to manage uncertainty. options?A.Alter our perceptions of ourselves.pare various job opportunities.C.Look into newly emerging sectors.D.Exercise self-discipline consciously.Part IV Translation(30minutes) Directions:For this part,you are allowed30minutes to translate a passage from Chinese into English.You should

Gold failed to appear. Drought ruinedfarmers, and settlers clashed with_NativeAmericans.On the settlement's location now stands asprawling University campus. Amid all thechanges, one feature remained constant: thepostal service. The maps tracing America'swestward expansion are telling in 1864 therewere few postat branches on land controlledby Native Americans, which still accountedfor most of the West. Over the next 25 years,post offices grew quickly. Colonization'of theWest could be regarded as a result of biggovernment rather than pioneers.【13】Asfederal subsidies and land grants temptedpeople into the deserts and plains, the postkept them connected.In the mid-19th century, the Post OfficeDepartment was far from a centralizedbureaucracy. To keep up with migrationpatterns, postal services were added toexisting businesses.【14】The federal government commissioned private wagons themail. Short term contracts were granted tolocal businessman to act as postmasters.These partnerships enabled the mail to quickly followmigrants helping knit togetherremote parts of the country.Mr. Bellavance, a digital historian, wrote abook on the history of the US postal service.【15】 He used the data science to analyzehistorical trends, Most strikingly he built anaccompanying website, complekw;Tinteractive maps.They show readers-howwithin a generation the postal service helpedcolonize a continent.

This week we will discuss asurprising reason why we might remember somethings, anxiety. Think about something as simple asbuying a coffee. That may not seem like an experience that would make a deep impression onyour memory. But anxiety could change that. Q16.In fact, a new study suggests that people withhigher anxiety levels mightremembertertain information better than people with lower anxietylevels.That's because higher levels of anxiety may makepeople moresusceptible to negative feelings,putting them in a more negative state of mind. Thatin turn, may make them able to better remembersome events. Let's take a closer look at that newstudy now. Q17. In this study, tseardhersstarted by giving 80 undergraduate students ananxiety test. The test measure the participantsanxiety levels over the proceeding two weeks.Then, to test memory, the participants were showna series of neutral words one at a time. Some of thewords were printed onto photos of negative scenes,meaning images that could affect their emotionsnegatively, such as a photo of a car accident, or acemetery. The rest of the words were printed ontophotos of neutral scenes, such as a photo of a lakeor trees. Neutral words included words like table ordesk that don't elicit emotion.Later, the participants were asked to think back tothe words they were shown earlier, which causedthem to reenter either a negative or neutral mindset. The participants were then presented withanother set of neutral words, and their memory ofthese new words was tested.The researchers found that the new words presented to people in a negative mindset werebetter remembered by people with higher levels ofanxiety than those with lower levels of anxiety.In other words, when highly anxious individualstook in otherwise emotionallyneutral informationthat was presented to them, it became colored bytheir negative mindset, making them remember theinformation better. But these same effects were notseen in people with low levels of anxiety.Q18. Previous studies havefound that extremeevels of anxiety such as those experienced bypeople diagnosed with an anxiety disorder can bequite detrimentalto memory and cognitive performan But the highly anxious people in thisstudy represent individuals who are managing theiranxiety and for whom anxiety is not. a seriousproblem.Question 16. What does the speaker say the newstudy suggests?Question 17. What did researchers do first in thenew study?Question 18. What do we learn from previousstudies aboutlanxiety?Over the past 20 years, the u ternet hasgradually become a dominant featureof our lives. It has changed how wecommunicate with each other. And ithas definitely transformed the way wedo business with each other:Marketinghas also changed in a number of ways.For instance, in the past, consumershad to call a phone number and patiently wait on hold in order to getthe information they wanted.[Q19]Today, they want the informationimmediately. They'll go to the company's sociaLmediapdc nifostcomments and questions expecting toreceive an immediate response. If theydon't get their questions answeredsoon they'll move on to anothercompany that will answer themquickly.Marketing departments today need tofollow technological development.Forexample, this year smartphone issmarter than last years. s fariving cars are now on the road. Marketershave to do research on which techncingies:are coming into bsing,otherwise, they risk being leit behindin the virtual dust.Marketing has also changed due to theimportance of video. People don't justwant to read text. They walt to watchthings happening. Companies now have to explore how they can use videoon a consistent basis to share information about their sinesses.Fortunately, it's extremely easy toshoot something these days. All youneed is a smartphone.But what's the result of all this? Shorteraitention spans? We aren't the samepeople that we were 20 yedi ago. Notonly have we grown accustomed togetting the information we want instantaneously, our attention spansare much shorter. If something doesn'tcaptulc ourattention within a fewseconds. We're on to the next piece ofcontent.[Q20]Marketers need to figureout ways to speak directly to the customer's emotions and they need tofigure out how to do that as quickly aspossible. Once people are emotionallyengaged, they'll stick with you.If marketingi has changed this much inthe past 20 years, imagine what thenext 20 years will bring li ai recentsurvey, only 9% of marketers could saywith confidence that their marketingefforts were actually working. Theirconfidence is being shaken becausethe rules of the game change everyyear. That's why [Q21]it'simportant for marketers to pay attention to the latest technological devel and consider collaborating with technological innovators. That way,they'll be moving at the samepace asthe tech industry.Question 19 What does the speaker sayabout today's consumers?Question 20 How do marketers captureconsumers'attention as quickly aspossible?Question 21 What does the speakersuggest marketers do to meet futurechalletes?演讲3You might be surprised to learn that [Q22] thebenefits offriendships extend beyond people'ssociallifeand into their work, which is interestingwhen cd lili the extent to which peoplesacrifice friendships, or at least the time they spendwith friends because of the exte edihairsthey'redevoting to work. Just last week, rwas remarking toa colleague that I'm content with only one socialengagement per week. But according to recentresearch, that's evidently not enough.In an initial study of more than 700 respondents,scholars from an American university [Q23] analyzethe imrf thst:fiends as opposed to family haveon sel dem Jahd well-being. Friends came outsubstantially on top. That's because to be someone's mate is a voluntary act. Unlike familywho people rarely get to choose. The researchersfound that when people choose to cultivate andmaintain supportive friendships with an individual,it means that the person is valued and worthy oftheir limited time. Such sentiments of value andworthiness boost our self-esteem.The second study comprised more than 300 participants. It proved that the better we feel aboutourselves, the more likely we will perform our jobconfidently andcompetently. This follow-up studyfound that [Q24] non-work friends even improvedpeople's job satisfaction. They have as much of animpact on how much they love their jobs, as do thefriends they have at work, despite not actuallybeing at our place of work. These types of friendstend to be our preferred outlet fo nni aboutwork-related mattersyThis is an avenue that maynot be available at the office.So even though friendships can be easy to neglectwhen confronted-by pressures at work, or evenpressures at home, neglecting our friends can turnout to be harmful and counterproductive. That'swhy when determining how to create a better work-life balance, we need to consider not only how tobalance work and family demands, but also how tocultivate and sustain supportive friendships. It's for employees for flexible work arrangements. It'sirrelevant whether their need for a desired scheduleis due to say, parenting responsibilities, or a craving to hang out with their best mate. Whatmatters is the opportunity to engage in a nourishingactiyity outside of work. That will definitely have afollow-on effect at work.Q 22 What does the speaker say is interesting?Q 23 What did researchers from an Americanuniversity analyze in their initial study?Q 24 What did the second study find aboutmon-work friends?Q 25 What does the speaker suggest managers do?参考答案：1.A) She is drawn to its integration of design andengineering.2.D) Through hard work.3.C) It is long-lasting.4.A) Computer science.5.B) He is well known to the public.6.D) Serve as a personatassistant.7.D) He has little previous work experience.8.C) He has a high proficiency in several languages.9.A) They have fewer rules and pressures.10.D) They deprive kids of the opportunity todevelop team spirit.11.C) Let them participate in some less risky outdooractivities.12.B) Tech firms intentionally design products tohave short lifespans.13.C) List a repairability score of their product.14.D) Take the initintive to reduce electronic waste.15.A) It can be solved.16.B) How to prevent employees from cyberloafing.17.C) Cyberloafing may relieve employees of stress.18.A) Taking mini-breaks means better jobperfontance.19.D) There were no trees.20.B) He founded a newspaper and used it topromote his ideas.21.B) The state government declared it the officialArbor Day.22.B)They moved ou of Africa about 60,000 yearsago.23.D) The discovery of two modern human teeth inChina.24.A) There must have been some reason for humanmigration.25.D) What path modern humans took to migrateout of America. 听力第二套参考答案：作文：心理健康Mental well-being is regarded as a state of health where a person is able to address normal stresses in daily life. Recently,this state has been grasped as much attention as physical health.Obviously, there are several factors that affect people's mental well-being. Firstly, a strong contributor to mental well-being refers to the state of a person's usual environ-ment. Adverse environmental circumstances can lea negative effectson psychological wellness. Living in a positive social environment, in contrast, can provide protection against mental challenges. Secondly, people's lifestyle can also impact their mental health. Smoking, a poor diet, alcohol con-sumption, substance use, and risky sexual behavior may result in psychological harm. Smoking, a poor diet, alcohol consump-tion, substance use, and risky sexual behavior may result in psychological harm. Worse, such behaviors have been linked to depression.In conclusion, because mental health is so important to general wellness, it's important that you take care of your mental health. Talking therapy, meditation and maintaining a positive outlook on life all contribute to people mental health. With a positive mental state, all areas of life will go towards active de-velopment.友好的讨论When faced with differing opinions, we should try to reach agreement through friendly discussion and reasonable argu-ment. In our daily life, it is common to see college students struggling with a polite and logical way when their views differ from others'. Apparently, this issue has sparked public con-cerns.Friendly discussion allows individuals to share their perspec-tives and opinions in a respectful manner. This can lead to a better understanding of each other's viewpoints and poten-tially even finding common ground. In addition, reasonable ar-gument allows individuals to present evidence and logic to sup-port their position, which can help persuade others to see their point of view. However, it is important to note that not all disagreements can be resolved through discussionand argu-ment alone. In some cases, compromise may be necessary to reach a resolution that satisfies all parties involved.To sum up, friendly discussion and reasonable argument, to a large extent, are of great use. We should be open-minded and engaged in such practices.教育的目标Education has played an increasingly crucial role in modern so-ciety. We aim education on different levels at cultivating the to-be successors of our global village. One important goal that education is trying to achieve is help students master the ways to acquire knowledge.Of all the capabilities one can develop to acquire knowledge in being educated, three sorts are of the greatest significance.First of all, students who are receiving education definitely know that they are always ignorant of some branches in th eocean of knowledge, which can keep them modest and more willing to explore their unfamiliar realms, even deeper if they've already done so. Moreover, students can imitate what their teachers or professors do in or our of class and then gradually acquire the ability to undertake more scientific re-search and intellectual inquiries alone. Last but not least,youngsters who are accustomed to being educated at school or college are more likely to keep studying as a life-long habit,which will have a substantially positive effect on their own life and the future of the human world.In my perspective, education is one of the most marvelous social inventionsthat ever existed in human history. Without it, the whole globe can never continue developing further in a civilized and prosperous direction.星火英语版：听力部分（共2套）第一套1.B) It was warm and comfortable.2.B) She misses her roommates she used to complain about.3.C) He had a similar feeling to the woman's.4.A) Go to see the woman's apartment.5.D) He has published a book recently.6.C) It has not prepared young people for the job market.7.A) More of the budget should go to science and technology.8.D) Cultivate better citizens.9.

2020年大学英语六级听力试题及答案(卷二)
2020年大学英语六级听力试题及答案（卷二）1.A. It takes skill.B. It pays well.C. It's a full-time job.D. It's admired worldwide.2.A. A mother with a baby in her arms.B. A woman whose bag is hanging in front.C. A lone female with a handbag at her right side.D. An old lady carrying a handbag on the left.3.A. The back pocket of his tight trousers.B. The top pocket of his jacket.C. A side pocket of his jacket.D. A side pocket of his trousers.4.A. Theater lobbies with uniformed security guards.B. Clothing stores where people are relaxed and off-guard.C. Airports where people carry a lot of luggage.D. Hotels and restaurants in southeast London.【英语六级听力材料及答案】For twenty-five years, I was a full-time thief, specializing in picking pockets. Where I come from in southeast London, that's an honorable profession. [32]Anyone can break in a house and steal things, but picking somebody's pocket takes skill. My sister and I were among the most successful pickpocket teams in London. We worked in hotel and theatre lobbies, airports, shopping centers and restaurants. Now we don't steal any more, but this crime is worldwide. Here's how to protect yourself. Professional pickpockets do not see victims-only handbags, jewels and money. [33]Mothers with babies, the elderly, and the disabled are all fair game. My preferred target was the lone female, handbag at her side-the right side to be exact. So if I'm next to her, I can reach it cautiously with my right hand across my body. Only about one woman in a thousand carries her bag on the left, and I tended to steer clear of them. Women whose bags are hanging in front of them are tricky for the pickpocket as there isn't a blind side. If you want to make it even harder, use a bag with handles rather than a strap. [34]For men, one of the best places to keep a wallet is in the back pocket of tight trousers.You'll feel any attempts to move it. Another good place is in the buttoned-up inside pocket of a jacket. There is just no way in. Even better, keep wallets attached to a cord or chain that is fastened to a belt. [35]A pickpocket needs targets who are relaxed and off-guard. The perfect setting is a clothing store. When customers wander among the racks they are completely absorbedin the items they hold up. The presence of a uniformed security guard is even better. A false sense of security makes a pickpocket's job much simpler.Questions 1 to 4 are based on the passage you have just heard.1. Why does the speaker say that picking somebody's pocket is an honorable profession in southeast London?正确答案：A解析：题目询问为什么作者说在伦敦东南部，扒窃是一个光荣的职业。

2020年6月大学英语六级听力VOA常速英语（6）2020年6月大学英语六级听力VOA常速英语(6)NEW YORK—Cybersecurity criminals are more "sophisticated, bold and resilient" than ever, according to a new study by U.S. computer networking company Cisco, which revealed major flaws in businesses’ attempts to thwart and recover from attacks.Among the shortcomings, Cisco found a 10 percent drop in up-to-date security infrastructure reported by organizations over the course of a year. The company analyzed 115,000 devices; 92 percent were running software with known vulnerabilities.Cisco Principal Engineer Jason Brvenik told VOA attackers are fairly indiscriminate in determining whom to target, instead leveraging opportunities to increase efficiency and profits.Cyberattacks"It doesn't matter if they're attacking a person for a cyber ransom or a business. What they do is they find out what they can leverage and then they use it," Brvenik said.He said defenders, as they move toward more continuous analytics models, are able to more quickly detect an attack and outsource instant responses."Numerically, we see that as an industry, it's a 100- to 200-day estimate for the detection of a breach, but more modern technologies as people deploy them are able to push that number down to a matter of hours," he said.As of May 2020, Cisco said it reduced the median time to detect threats within its networks to roughly 17 hours.The fight against cybercrime has opened a largely untapped job market for cybersecurity practitioners, which Forbes reportsis expected to grow from $75 billion in 2020 to $170 billion by 2020.Demand for professionalsTara Sinclair, chief economist of Indeed, a global job site company based in the U.S., said employers’ secu rity concerns have led to a large increase in demand for trained professionals in the field."They're definitely concerned about their businesses," Sinclair said. "They're concerned about having employees that are protective of their property and making sure that they're not going to be attacked."Globally, Cisco has estimated 1 million unfilled jobs in security.Symantec, the world’s largest security software vendor, expects this gap to grow to 1.5 million by 2019.Brvenik said many universities are doing their part to bring qualified talent to the market. Among businesses, he said, 90 percent of those surveyed by Cisco reported having programs in place for cyber awareness and training.。

Some eyewitnesses report that abag was about to be loaded on board, but it exploded during a security check. Windows of the red bus were left smashed, and blood could be seen on the ground beside the vehicle. Just hours earlier, Uganda’s police chief had warned of possible Christmas-time attacks by Somali rebels.1. What is the news report mainly about?2.

Most of these dated back to the 1960s and 70s and were in a poor state of repair.After new legislation demanded their removal from the roads, a low interest loan scheme was set up with three Egyptian banks so drivers could buy new cars. The government pays about $900 for old ones to be discarded and advertising on the new vehicles helps cover repayments.The idea has proved popular with customers ― they can now travel in air-conditioned fort and because the new cabsare metered, they don’t have to argue over fares. Banksand car manufacturers are glad for the extra business in tough economic times.

Then mark the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 1 with a single line through the centre.Passage OneIn today’s class, we’ll discuss Toni Morrison’snovel Beloved. As I’m sure you all k now, Morrison is botha popular and a highly respected author, and it’s not easy to be both. Born in 1931, Morrison has written some of the most touching and intelligent works on the African-American experience ever written by anyone, and yet to call her an “African-American writer” doesn’t seem to do her justice. In many ways, she’s simply an American writer—andcertainly one of our best.Beloved is a truly remarkable work. It was remended for nearly every major literary prize, including the National Book Award and the National Book Critics Circle Award, and it in fact won the Pulitzer Prize for fiction in 1988. Morrison herself is distinguished for having won the Nobel Prize for literature in 1993.What makes Beloved unique is the skillful, sure way in which Morrison blends intensely personal storytelling and American history, racial themes and gender themes, the experience of Blacks with the experience of all people everywhere, the down-to-earth reality of slavery with a sense of mysterious spirituality.We’ll be paying special attention to these themes as we discuss this work. I’m particularly interested in your views on the relative importance of race and gender in this book. Is it more important that Sethe, the main character, is black or that s he’s a woman? Which contributes more to her being? What does Morrison tell us about both?Questions 16 to 18 are based on the passage you have just heard.16. What do we learn about Toni Morrison?17. What honor did Toni Morrison receive in 1993?18. What does the speaker tell us about Sethe, the main character in Morrison’s novel Beloved?Passage TwoThe topic of my talk today is gift-giving. Everybody likes to receive gifts, right? So you may think that gift-giving is a universal custom. But actually, the rules of gift-giving vary quite a lot, and not knowing them can result in great embarrassment. In North America, the rules are fairly simple. If you’re invited to someone’s homefor dinner, bring wine or flowers or a small item from your country. Among friends, family, and business associates, we generally don’t give gifts on other oasions except on someone’s birthday and Christmas. The Japanese, on the other hand, give gifts quite frequently, often to thank someone for their kindness. The tradition of gift-giving in Japan is very ancient. There are many detailed rules for everything from the color of the wrapping paper to the time of the gift presentation. And while Europeans don’t generally exchange business gifts, they do follow some formal customs when visiting homes, such as bringing flowers. The type and color of flowers, however, can carry special meaning.Today we have seen some broad differences in gift-giving. I could go on with additional examples. But let’s not miss the main point here: If we are not aware of and sensitive to cultural differences, the possibilities for mismunication and conflict are enormous. Whether we learn about these differences by reading a book or by livingabroad, our goal must be to respect differences among people in order to get along suessfully with our global neighbors.Questions 19 to 21 are based on the passage you have just heard.19. What does the speaker say about gift-giving of North Americans?20. What do we learn about the Japanese concerninggift-giving?21. What point does the speaker make at the end of the talk?Passage ThreeHetty Green was a very spoilt, only child. She was born in Massachusetts, USA, in 1835. Her father was amillionaire businessman. Her mother was often ill, and so from the age of two her father took her with him to work and taught her about stocks and shares. At the age of six she started reading the daily financial newspapers and opened her own bank aount.Her father died when she was 21 and she inherited $7.5 million. She went to New York and invested on Wall Street. Hetty saved every penny, eating in the cheapest restaurants for 15 cents. She became one of the richest and most hated women in the world. At 33 she married Edward Green, amulti-millionaire, and had two children, Ned and Sylvia.Hetty’s meanness was well known. She always argued about prices in shops. She walked to the local grocery store to buy broken biscuits which were much cheaper, and to get a free bone for her much loved dog. Once she lost a two-cent stamp and spent the night looking for it. She never bought clothes and always wore the same long, ragged black skirt. Worst of all, when her son Ned fell andinjured his knee, she refused to pay for a doctor and spent hours looking for free medical help. In the end Ned lost his leg.When she died in 1916 she left her children $100 million. Her daughter built a hospital with her money.Questions 22 to 25 are based on the passage you have just heard.22. What do we learn about Hetty Green as a child?23. How did Hetty Green bee rich overnight?24. Why was Hetty Green much hated?25. What do we learn about Hetty’s daughter?Part II Listening ComprehensionSection A1. B2. C3. A4. D5. D6. A7. C Section B8. D9. B10. B11. C12. A13. B14. C15. D Section C16. A17. B18. D19. D20. C21. B22.
