AAre you preparing for a standardized English exam? Do you find the listening section particularly challenging?The world of standardized examinations to assess candidates’abilities in the English language has grown rapidly, especially in the last 30 years. Most of these exams include a listening paper, in which a number of micro-skills are tested, such as listening for detailed information, understanding an author’s attitude and more. Despite the different types of exams out there, they all share many things. We can call them “skills”, as they can be applied while taking the listening test.You need to exercise your skills to make “educated guesses” although you won’t ever have super powers. Most standardized tests give you some time to read ahead. You must use this time wisely, as this is crucial to predicting as much as possible a number of things. You should quickly ask yourself: What is their relationship? Where are they? Why are they talking? What are their tones?By doing this, you will be able to set the situation and expect specific vocabulary which might be used in the coming listening materials. All this can be done very quickly. If the passage contains gaps that you must fill out, you should try to predict the type of word or expression (noun, adjective, verb, etc.). Do not try to read everything in detail; only focus on the key words. With practice, you will be able to predict with a certain level of precision. Even if you find it difficult, trying to make a prediction will always help you concentrate on the task, thus making it a lot more manageable and understandable.Becoming a successful candidate takes time and practice. Unless you have had enough practice in English, you won’t probably be able to get your desired score. Keep in mind that most standardized exams are more about skills than knowledge.21. The underlined term “educated guesses” in Paragraph 3 can be replaced with _____.A. efforts to achieve high scoresB. quick decisions about the choiceC. better options using the same wordsD. predictions with a certain level of precision22. What should be stressed more in a standardized listening test according to the passage?A. Skills.B. Vocabulary.C. Scores.D. Knowledge.23. Who do you think the passage is intended for?A. Teachers.B. Managers.C. Speakers.D. Candidates.BGENETIC testing cannot tell teachers anything useful about an individual pupil’s educational achievement. That is the conclusion of a study that looked at how well so-called polygenic scores for education predict a person’s educational achievements, based on a long-term study of thousands of people in the UK. “Some people with a very low genetic scoreare very high performers at age 16. Some are even in the top 3 percent,” says Tim Morris at the University of Bristol, UK.And while Morris expects the accuracy of polygenic scores for educational achievements to improve, he doesn’t think they will ever be good enough to predict how well an individual will do. Even relatively simple qualities such as height are influenced by thousands of genetic variants, each of which may only have a tiny effect. It has been claimed that polygenic scores can be used to make useful predictions, such as a person’s likelihood of developing various diseases. One company is even offering embryo screening (screening of an unborn baby in the very stages of development) based on polygenic scores for disease risk.Some researchers—notably Robert Plomin of King’s College London—think that schools should start using polygenic scores for educational achievement. In most cases, the scores may reflect qualities such as persistence as well as intelligence.To assess the usefulness of polygenic scores in education, Morris and his colleagues calculated them for 8,000 people in Bristol who are part of a long-term study known as the Children of the 90s. The participants’ genomes have been queued and their academic results are available to researchers. Among other things, the team found a correlation of 0.4 between a person’s polygenic score and their exam results at age 16. But there would need to be a correlation of at least 0.8 to make useful predictions about individuals, says Morris.Plomin, however, argues that the results support his opinion. “A correlation of 0.4 makes it the strongest polygenic predictor in the behavioural sciences,”says Plomin. “It’s so much stronger than a lot of other things we base decisions on. So it’s a very big finding.”Morris says schools already have access to other predictors that are more accurate, such as a pupil’s earlier test results. Looking at parents’educational achievements is also a better predictor of a pupil’s academic results than studying their genome, his results show. Providing teachers with an extra predictor based on genetics would just confuse matters, says Morris, and the cost cannot be justified.24. In paragraph 2, Morris talks about “height” in order to tell readers that _____.A. some qualities are hardly affected by any genetic variantsB. some qualities are influenced by thousands of genetic variantsC. genetic scores are useful in predicting one’s potential diseasesD. genetic scores can help children improve their scores at school25. How did Morris prove the effect of polygenetic scores in education?A. By providing opposite examples.B. By explaining how the genome works.C. By listing findings from another scientist.D. By presenting facts and data from research.26. According to Plomin, a correlation of 0.4 is reliable because it is _____.A. useful in telling you how intelligent and persistent children areB. useful in predicting people who might struggle academicallyC. stronger compared to other factors in behavioural sciencesD. strongly correlated to children’s academic achievementsCThe Beauties of the Stone AgeI have just come home after viewing some amazing works of art that were recently discovered in Church Hole Gave in Nottinghamshire. They are not drawings but etchings—shapes cut into the rock—and they describe different kinds of wild animals.First of all, the number is great: there are 90 in all. Moreover, 58 of them are on the ceiling (天花板). This is quite unusual in cave art, according to Dr. Wilbur Samson of Central Midlands University. “Wall pictures are the usual way,”he says. “The Church Hole etchings are an artistic achievement. It was thought that ice-age hunters in this country were separated from those in central areas of Europe, but the Church Hole etchings proved that they were actually part of a way of living, thinking and seeing the world that had spread right across Europe.”News of such exciting discoveries spreads quickly, and thanks to the Internet and mobile phones, a great many people have known about this discovery. However, an examination of the etchings last year failed to show the presence of them. The reason lay in the expectations of the researchers. They looked for the usual type of cave drawings, which show up best under direct light. So they used powerful torches (火炬), shining them straight onto the rock face. However, the Church Hole etchings are not drawings on the rocks, like the other cave ones. They are modifications of the rock itself and can’t be easily made out. They show up best when seen from a certain direction in the natural light of early morning.Dr. Samson feels that the lighting factor provides important information about the function of these works of art. I think the artists knew very well that the etchings would hardly be seen except early in the morning. We can decide that the cave was used for important events like animal worship (祭拜), and that they were conducted just after dawn, as the beginning of the day’s hunting.To which I can only add that I feel very lucky to have been able to view Church Hole. It is a site of great importance culturally and is part of the traditional values, not only of this country, but the world as a whole.27. What is the significance of the etchings in Church Hole Cave?A. They show the existence of an ice-age culture.B. They describe a more advanced life of Europeans.C. They prove that ancient people hunted in large areas.D. They indicate that fewer people settled in central Europe.28. According to the passage, ________.A. the methods taken to protect the etchings are uselessB. the etchings are various from the usual cave paintingsC. the discovery of the etchings should not be made publicD. many people visited the cave within hours of its discovery29. What does the underlined word “modifications” in Paragraph 3 probably mean?A. Small changes.B. Free gifts.C. Good examples.D. Different areas.30. What does Dr. Samson state from the lighting factor?A. The search took place at the wrong place of the cave.B. The artists never planned to let the etchings seen by others.C. The torches people used in the examination were too bright.D. The etchings were intended to be seen at a certain time of day.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。
