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.。

2020年12月六级真题及答案(听力)
2020年12月六级真题及答案（听力）六级听力01Conversation 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 cal led 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 th at 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 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 furi ous 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 ch ips, 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 ma ny 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 themoney 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 an edited 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 reputati on 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 n ew 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 stop ped 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 t o 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 simply listen to old familiar favorites from that period of their lives when they had more f ree time.Of course, those teen year s 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?。

2020年12月大学英语六级模拟试题：听力2020年12月大学英语六级模拟试题：听力小编推荐：Houston Chief of Police Charles McClelland supportsthe use of body cameras, but he said they alsopresent problems.“The type of equipment, the placement ofequipment, the downloading time, and storagespace all of those are significant challenges.”For the past two years, the Houston PoliceDepartment has experimented with cameras,deploying about 100 of them on officers each day.But McClelland said deploying cameras on a few thousand officers and then managing all thevideo they produce will cost a lot of money.“We will be paying officers overtime for doing their downloading and indexing of these videos,”And those those videos can only show a limited perspective of any incident.The body cameras used by police usually offer a wide-angle view of what is in front of the lens,much like the small consumer cameras.Chief McClelland said that view leaves a lot out.“An officer may turn his or her head and see something,but the video camera that is in themiddle of their chest is pointing straight ahead.”Most officers who have worn the cameras, here and in other cities, are very much in favor ofthem.Rita Watkins, the executive director of the Law Enforcement Management Institute of Texas,said there is statewide demand for body cameras.“I can tell you that right now there are chiefs who are budgeting, within their budget andasking their community leadership for the funds to initiate and start a fund for the bodycamera program.”She said legal experts also are considering how photos and videos taken by average citizensshould be handled.“We also have the public that is capturing video. So how do they maintain it and what is theirduty and responsibility for making that information available to law enforcement?”Both she and McClelland are also concerned about what happens if a video file becomescorrupted or disappears.“This technology is man-made and at some point any man-made object will malfunction.”he said such a technical glitch could ignite discord in a city like Baltimore, where there alreadyis distrust of the police.He also worries that routine communication between officers and citizens will diminishbecause of the cameras.“The officer is recording the citizen and the citizen may be using his or her cellphone to recordthe officer.”He said body cameras offer benefits, McClelland said, but they also represent a continuingfinancial burden for police as cameras become obsolete every few years and must be replacedby newer, better ones.。

洛基英语，中国在线英语教育领导品牌Section A11. M: Let’s go to a movie after dinner.W: That’s tempting. However, the tennis tournament is tomorrow and I need to get some practice tonight.Q: What will the woman probably do this evening?12. W: What’s the problem? Don’t you have your apartment key?M: It’s a good thing I leave a spare with my neighbor. I am going to have to stop by and ask him for it, so I can get in and get my books.Q: What will the man probably do next?13. M: I have already taken one of those pills for my headache, but it’s still bothering me.W: Well, why not take another? The recommended dose is one or two, depending on how bad it is.Q: What does the woman suggest the man do?14. W: I studied French in high school but I never learned it until I spent the summer in Paris.M: Really using a language makes all the difference, doesn’t it?Q: What does the man imply?15. W: I don’t think I want to live in the dormitory next year. I need more privacy.M: I know what you mean. But check out the cost of renting an apartment first. I wouldn’t be surprised if you changed your mind.Q: What does the man think the woman will do?16. W: Professor Clark, I was wondering if you would consider giving me an extensionon my paper. I just got back on campus yesterday from hospital.M: Well, under the circumstances, I can’t see how I can deny your request.Q: What does Professor Clark say he will do?17. W: The drama club is holding auditions for their play, it’s a musical. What do you think?M: To tell you the truth, I don’t really act or sing, but thanks for thinking of me.Q: What does the man mean?18.M: I know I ought to call home, but I’ve got a plane to catch and I’m already late.W: Well, I know you have to hurry, but it’ll only take a minute.Q: What does the woman suggest the man to do?Conversation One:W: Just now I’ve covered all the details I can think of about tomorrow’s English speech contest. I am really looking forward to the best performance from each and every one of you. Oh, one last thing, if you have any question, please feel free to ask now. Or you can come to my office right after. John, do you have any question? You seem a little confused.M: Yes, professor. I am thinking about strategies to cope with the impromptu speech part. In the real contest, do I have time to prepare for the topic?W: Oh, if that’s what you are worrying about, don’t be then, because each contestant will be given 15 minutes to get prepared. Technically, it’s not impromptu. Well, the thing is---if you can win the contest and then you will have a chance to represent our university and advance to the next level, for example, the national semi-final. National competitions won’t give you any time to prepare. It’s all spontaneous. So the one we have tomorrow is comparatively easier.M: Oh, 15 minutes, but the time doesn’t seem enough for me. Usually, it takes half an hour for me to come up with satisfactory speeches.W: Yes, John, time can be a problem, not just for you but for everybody else. It’s fair competition, though.M: So what do we do in the preparation time?W: Well, I guess your strategy is to figure out your stance first and think of reasons and evidence to support your argument. Try to be substantial and convincing. Empty talk won’t do you any good. A large part of what judges look for is the content of your speech.M: So I guess I am going to substantial then. Thank you for your advice, professor. See you tomorrow.W: See you. Good luck!Questions 19 to 22 are based on the conversation you have just heard.19. Where does this talk most probably take place?20. How much time does the man usually need to prepare for good speeches?21. What is the major difference between competition campus-wide andnationwide?22. What does the professor emphasize?Conversation TwoM: Hi, Serena. Why don't you sit down and watch this movie with me? It only started about 15 minutes ago.W: Oh, Ok. I have always been a movie fan since I was young. What the movie is about?M: Never can tell. Come on, sit down and watch!W: But this movie looks scary! Why is that guy's complexion so pale? Why do his eyes look like they're about to pop out? And why is there so much blood everywhere?M: I'm not exactly sure what's going on either. I think this group of friends decided to travel to the countryside during their spring break. They end up at this old farmhouse, and apparently there are these zombies that show up at nighttime. I guess it's just your typical horror movie plotline.W: I hate scary movies! In fact, I hate all violent movies, and I especially hate "jump scenes," when something pops up on the screen suddenly or when there's a sudden loud noise. So basically, watching a horror movie is my worst nightmare.M: To be honest, I don't like horror movies that much either, but sometimes they can be pretty thrilling. And it's fun to watch with a pretty girl, too, because then you can put your arm around her to comfort her when she gets scared.W: I see what your plan is. Well, sorry to disappoint you, Den, but I think I'd better get going!Questions 24 to 25 are based on the conversation you have just heard.23. How long has the woman missed out the movie? D24. What’s the man’s attitude toward scary movies? A25. What is not mentioned in the conversation? BSection BPassage OneMount Kilimanjaro is the highest point on the entire African continent. Locatedin the Northeast in Tanzania in east Africa, Mount Kilimanjaro is about equal distant from Cairo to the north and Cape Town to the south around 220 miles south of the equator. The majestic snow-cap peaks of Kilimanjaro have long captured the world's imagination. Thousands have traveled in Tanzania to climb the mountain, for the view of its famous glacier-covered peak. One such visitor, the American author Earnest Hemmingway even wrote a story about it. In the snows of Kilimanjaro, Hemmingway described the mountain's ice fields as great, high and unbelievable white in the sun. As spectacularly as it is to see the ice on top of Mount Kilimanjaro serves much more important purpose. Formed more than 11, 000 years ago, the glaciers are vital source of drinking and farming water for those who live in the surroundingareas. But for the last century the snows have been disappearing. Kilimanjaro’s glaciers have shrunk by more than 80% since 1912. There are several periods just as to why Mount KIlimanjaro's snow is disappearing so quickly. For one thing, the mountain is located in the tropical region. For this reason, its glaciers are especially vulnerable to climate changes. One type of climate changes is called globe warming which is caused in constant rise in the earth temperature. Another possible reason of glaciers melting is deforestation, which happens when trees are cut down in mass quantities. Trees keep the air cooler and add moister to the atmosphere which helps create clouds and precipitation. Experts predict the mountain's glaciers could disappear completely by the year 2020.Questions 26 to 29 are based on the passage you have just heard.26. Where is the highest point of the American continent?27. What is the main attraction of Kilimanjaro?28. Which statement is NOT true?29. Which one does not account for the disappearing glacier at the peak?Passage TwoNow hold the Grande Cappuccino, the coffee chain Starbucks has been forced to close its branch in Beijing's Forbidden City. The company said the decision to close had been congenial, but since the caféopened 7 years ago, it's become the target of an increasingly widespread protest campaign, claiming it tramples over Chinese culture. However, Starbucks was here by invitation, the authorities who run the Forbidden City –Beijing's enormous 15th-century imperial palace complex, encouraged the small, almost invisible franchise of the global chain to open in 2000, a sign of a modern outward looking China as it prepared for the Olympics in 2008. But within weeks, the shop was the target of vehement opposition; a blight, it was said, on the Chinese cultural treasure and world heritage site. Tourists too, seemed to find it at best a curiosity. The campaign to remove the cafétook off earlier this year when a blog by influential Chinese newsreader Rui Chenggang in which he called on Starbucks to pull out was featured heavily in the media. Thousands supported his stands and museum managers eventually bowed to the pressure.Questions 30 to 32 are based on the passage you have just heard.30. When the company decided to close Starbucks in Forbidden City, how was the decision making? A31. Which statement is NOT true? B33. Why did Starbucks come into Forbidden City in the first place? BPassage ThreeMany college students find college courses not as interesting as they expect. Far too many courses rely principally or entirely on lectures, an arrangement much loved by faculty and administrators but scarcely designed to benefit the students. One problem with lectures is that listening intelligently is hard work. Reading the same material in a textbook is a more efficient way to learn because students can proceed as slowly as they need to until the subject matter becomes clear to them. Even simply paying attention is very difficult; people can listen at a rate of four hundred to six hundred words a minute, while the most impassionate professors talks at scarcely a third of that speed. The time lag between speech and comprehension leads to daydreaming. Many students believe years of watching television have sabotaged their attention span, but their real problem is that listening attentively is much harder than they think. Worse still, attending lectures is passivelearning, at least for inexperienced listeners. Active learning, in which students write essays or perform experiments and then have their work evaluated by an instructor, is far more beneficial for those who have not yet fully learned how to learn. While it’s true that techniques of active listening, such as trying to anticipate the speaker’s next point or taking notes selectively, can enhance the value of a lecture, few students possess such skills at the beginning of their college careers. More commonly, students try to write everything down and even bring tape recorders to class in a clumsy effort to capture every word.Questions 33 to 35 are based on the passage you have just heard.33. What is an example of passive learning?34. Which influences student’s attention span?35. Which of the following can be implied from the passage?Section CScientists have identified three main causes of anorexia. Experts attribute the rise in cases of anorexia to the pressure in our society to be thin. The media constantly bombards us with images of thin people as ideals. Fat-free products and diet aids have become multimillion-dollar industries. These images and these industries project the idea that being anything but slender is something to be feared and shunned.The second major factor in causing anorexia is the personality of the victim. Many of them are overachievers or perfectionists. They excel in school and a variety of extracurricular activities. Anorexics see being thin as a way to please others. In fact, they limit their food intake to fulfill expectations of perfection from family and friends.Thirdly, when anorexics don’t eat, they experience a rise in their level of opiates, natural brain chemicals that produce a sense of happiness. When anorexics do eat, their bodies produce higher than normal levels of a certain brain chemical that causes a sense of anxiety. These chemical changes make anorexia as physically addictive for the anorexic as alcohol for the alcoholic.“成千上万人疯狂下载。

Schools are too far away fromthe village where we live.”What her parents didn't know was that by doing so,they kept her from being one of sixty-twomillion girls around the world were not in school.Susan Markham, of the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) saysdistance and risk of violence are only some of the barriers to a girl's education.“Whether it's child marriage or economic pressure because of scho ol fees, we want to addressthose.”The Obama administration has launched a campaign called "Let Girls Learn."First lady Michelle Obama went to Japan and Cambodia in March to promoted,along with PeaceCorps director,Carrie Hessler-Radelet.“The First lady is incredibly passionate about this topic.She looks at her own life and herhusband's life, President Obama's life and they see how important education was in themachieving their life goals.And they want to make sure that every girl has the same chance thatthey had.”Peace Corps voulunteers like this in Tirana, Albania will help implement the program in manycountries.These volunteers work mostly in remote areas,their initiatives include programs to promotegender equality and empower young women,says volunteer Mary Quandt.“It is about starting a dialogue and increasing expectations of these girls;let them know thatthey can achieve this and they can grow in their sense of self and their capabilities of leadershipand experience and as soon as you plant that seed in them, they are going to nurture it andit's going to grow.”USAID's Susan Markham points out that educating girls benefits the entire society.“Women who stay in school, young girls who stay in school till womanhood, are likely to behealthier.They are more likely to get married later, bear children later and they are more likely to keeptheir own kids in school for longer.So it has a great ripple effect across the whole community.”。
