In some way, Rose Bay has witnessed the surprising history of flying boats, a type of early seaplane. On 5 July, 1938, an Empire Class flying boat departed from here, Australia’s first international airport. It was heading for England and marked the start of the golden age of flying boats. Over ten days with 30 stops along the route, passengers enjoyed a first-class service, including breakfasts of fruit, steak, juice and wine. But the flight didn’t come cheap. Tickets were far beyond the reach of most Australians, at a price that was equivalent to an annual salary. The service was suspended in 1942 as water cold, and the planes were officially used by the air force. By the time normal life started again after the war, land-based aircraft had developed rapidly and flying boats were looking increasingly out of date. However, Sydney and its vast waters remained well placed to explore the resources, and so began a new age for the flying boats. (Now listen again.)Questions:11. When did the golden age of flying boats start?12. Why was the service of Empire Class flying boats stopped in the early 1940s?13. What is the speaker mainly talking about?Questions 14 through 16 are based on the following passage.According to some psychologists, intelligence is the ability to learn from experience, adapt to new situations, understand and handle abstract concepts and use knowledge to change one’s environme nt. Skills like learning, memory, reasoning and problem-solving enhance (增加) these abilities. Therefore, certain habits may be evidence you’ve got these skills. For example, it is commonly thought that those who are intelligent are organized and have every thing in their workspace arranged neatly. But that’s not the case. In an experiment from the University of Minnesota, people in a messy setting came up with more creative ideas than those in a neat space. Cathleen V oss, study author, says disorderly environments seem to inspire breaking free of tradition, which can produce fresh ideas. Orderly environments, in contrast, encourage following traditions and playing it safe. But according to Jonathan Why, a research scientist at Duke University, creativity is one of the qualities that smart people tend to possess and may actually lead to messiness. He says, “It’s not messiness that helps creativity, but creativity which may create messiness.” Such people tend to get lost in thought while focusing on a problem or issue, andplanning becomes of less importance than focusing on a problem at hand. (Now listen again) Questions:14. According to the passage, what are intelligent people like in most people’s eyes?15. According to Jonathan Why from Duke University, which of the following statements is true?16. What is the passage mainly about?Questions 17 through 20 are based on the following conversation.W: James, have you read about the research into the human brain?M: Not yet. What does it say?W: It says men are better at some things like map-reading and finding direction while women are better at other things like remembering words and faces.M: Interesting. Now I understand why I am the one in my family who does all the map reading.W: The research was done by a team from the University of Pennsylvania. They looked at the brains of nearly 1,000 men and women and found they are wired differently.M: Wired differently? You mean connected in different ways?W: Right. In males, the stronger connections run within each half of the brain. In women, the stronger connections are between the two sides of the brain.M: I see.W: The difference might explain why men are better at learning and performing a single task, like reading maps or cycling. But women are often better at doing several things at the same time. They can also concentrate on a task for longer.M: Now I can understand why I can’t do several things together.W: But not everyone agrees. A professor from the University of Oxford said the connections inside the brain are not permanently fixed and the brain is very complex. Without sufficient data, you can’t jump to any general conclusions.M: I guess the professor is right. (Now listen again.)Questions:17. What is the conversation mainly about?18. Compared with women’s brains, what has the new research found about men’s brains?19. According to the new research, which of the following are women better at?20. What does the professor from the University of Oxford think of the new research findings? (That’s the end of listening comprehension.)。

2024上海英语春考听力题 回忆
2024上海英语春考听力题回忆全文共6篇示例，供读者参考篇1The 2024 Shanghai English Listening Exam - My MemoriesWow, what a day the Shanghai English Spring Listening Exam was! I've been studying English since I was really little, but this exam was definitely the biggest challenge so far. I was pretty nervous leading up to it, but I tried my best to stay calm and confident.The night before the exam, I laid out my lucky pencil case and my favorite snack for good luck. I even wore my "Future English Master" t-shirt to bed! My mom made me promise to go to sleep early since she knows how I can be a total night owl sometimes. I tossed and turned for a little bit, but eventually I was able to drift off to dreamland.The next morning, my dad made my favorite breakfast - sunny-side up eggs with fried rice and sausages! He knows food is the way to my heart. I gobbled it all down, gave my parents a big hug, and we were out the door. The exam was being held at my school, so it was just a short walk away.When we got there, I saw tons of other students my age along with their parents. Some looked totally chill, while others seemed just as nervous as I felt inside. My best friend Jake spotted me and came over. "You ready for this, champ?" he said, giving me a high five. I smiled and nodded, trying to act more confident than I actually was.Finally, it was time to head inside to the exam room. The desks were set up in perfect rows and on each one was a crisp test booklet, a pencil, and a bumpy personal auditory device thingy to listen to the exam. I found my assigned seat and took a deep breath. This was it!The first section was conversations between people. There were questions about things like what they were planning to do that evening or where they wanted to go on vacation. It started out pretty easy, but then got harder as the conversations became faster.Next up were recordings about different topics - animals, sports, famous scientists. I had to listen carefully and answer multiple choice and short answer questions. Some of them stumped me, but I did my best to eliminate wrong answers.After a short break where I chugged some orange juice, it was on to the final section - longer lectures and stories. Thesewere super challenging because there was so much information to take in and remember. My brain was on overload trying to digest it all!When the exam ended, I jerked my head up, shook off my daze, and looked around. Whew, it was finally over! My hand was cramped from writing so much. As I turned in my test, Ihigh-fived Jake again on the way out. No matter how we did, we gave it our all.Later that evening, my parents took me out for my favorite dumplings to celebrate being done with the exam. I stuffed myself silly on pork and veggie dumplings swimming in spicy sauce. "How do you think you did?" my mom asked. I gave a shrug. "I'm not sure...parts of it were pretty hard. But I feel good that I really tried my best."Over the next few days, my mind started forgetting a lot of the exam questions and audio clips. All those hours of intense listening and focus had worn me out! But I know I learned a ton from the experience. No matter what my score ends up being, I'm proud of myself for taking on such a big challenge. Exams like these help me get strong listening skills for the future.Next up, time to start prepping for the dreaded Shanghai English Writing Exam! Oh well, I'll take it one step at a time. Fornow, I'm just relieved the big listening exam is over and done. If it's that intense in elementary school, I can't even imagine what hearing tests will be like in middle school and beyond. I just have to keep practicing and doing my best. Pretty soon, I'll be an English master for sure!篇2The 2024 Shanghai English Listening Exam - A Student's RecollectionWow, where do I even begin? The 2024 Shanghai English Spring Exam listening section was quite the roller coaster ride. I've been studying English since I was just a little kid, but I don't think anything could have fully prepared me for that test. Still, I gave it my best shot and I'm feeling pretty good about how it went overall.I remember walking into the exam room that morning feeling a mix of nerves and excitement. On one hand, I was stressed because this test was really important for getting into a good middle school. But on the other hand, I was looking forward to showing off all the English I had learned over the years. My palms were definitely a little sweaty as I took my seat and got my pencils and erasers ready to go.The first listening passage was about a boy talking to his mom about his day at school. As a kid myself, I could definitely relate to that subject matter. The speaker had a pretty clear American accent, which helped me understand most of what he was saying. There were a few tricky vocabulary words thrown in there though, like "rambunctious" and "dreadful." Thank goodness I've been practicing with those kinds of fancy English words!After that first passage, we moved onto a longer dialogue between two friends discussing their plans for an upcoming school break. This one ratcheted up the difficulty a bit with the speakers going back and forth rapidly. I really had to concentrate to keep track of who was saying what. The male voice sounded quite different from the American accent too, with more of a British flare. But I've gotten better at listening to different varieties of English over the years.Next up was a lecture segment where a teacher was talking about the history of the English language. I'm honestly pretty fascinated by the origins of English, so I found this part interesting despite it being pretty dense material. The professor definitely used a lot of academic vocabulary that took some mental flipping through my English vocabulary mental Rolodex.Words like "proto-language" and "philology" had me quickly jotting down notes to try to piece together meanings from context clues as best I could.Just when I thought my brain couldn't handle any more unfamiliar words and complicated topics, we moved onto the most challenging part of the listening exam - the extended talk. This was a news-style report about some recent archaeological findings related to ancient Chinese civilizations along the Silk Road. Oh man, this passage definitely pushed me to my limits! There was so much specific terminology about excavation methods, types of artifacts, historical events and more. I was scrambling to furiously take notes and hold in my mind as much as I possibly could. The reporter's accent was relatively easy to understand, but when the content itself is that dense, even a narration could sound like gibberish sometimes. Despite the immense difficulty though, I felt a sense of pride for being able to follow along as well as I could.Thankfully, after whiteknuckingly pushing through that super complex passage, we moved onto the final part of the exam - a casual conversation between two college students about studying abroad. By that point, my listening ears were already exhausted from straining so hard, but I managed to stayfocused for those last few audio clips. The subject material and language was a lot more casual and relatable, which was a treat after the intense academic topics we'd just covered.Finally, after what felt like an eternity of listening intently, the exam finished. I stretched my cramped writing hand, piled up my notes, and took a big, proud breath. It was undoubtedly one of the most mentally taxing tests I've taken in my young life, but I was beaming with a sense of accomplishment just for making it through. Heck, if I put that much effort into the rest of the exam subjects, hopefully I'll be well on my way to getting into my dream middle school!Looking back a few months later now, I can rationally say that the Shanghai English listening exam definitely lived up to its reputation for being challenging. There were utterly bewildering parts, brain-crunchingly complex topics, and brutal mini-bursts where I felt lost in a torrent of unfamiliar words. But I'm incredibly proud of myself for pushing hard and doing my best despite the immense difficulty level. An experience like that has only fortified my determination to keep leveling up my English proficiency.Some kids might hear words like "rambunctious" and say "dreadful"... but challenges like this exam only energize me.Bring on the next language hurdle - I'll chase it down like an overly enthusiastic golden retriever puppy! Okay, maybe I got a little carried away with similes there, but you get my point. The 2024 Shanghai English listening battle was INTENSE, but this aspiring language warrior has been hardened, not beaten. Just call me a young philology philologist! Look out world, here I come!篇3The 2024 Shanghai English Listening Test? Oh boy, let me tell you all about it! It was one crazy morning, let me tell you. I woke up pretty early since I was nervous and excited. My mom made my favorite breakfast - chocolate chip pancakes! I tried not to get any syrup on my fresh new outfit.We headed out the door and the morning Shanghai spring air felt nice and crisp. The test was being held at my school, so at least I didn't have to go somewhere unfamiliar. When we got there, the hallways were buzzing with kids looking just as nervous as me. I spotted a few of my friends and we gave each other reassuring looks.Finally, it was time to head into the exam room. The desks were arranged in perfect rows and columns. A lady at the fronthad a stern look on her face as she instructed us on where to sit. I gave a little wave to my best friend Sara as we were separated to opposite sides of the room.Once we were all settled, the testing coordinator reminded us of all the rules in a very strict voice. No cheating, no talking, no getting out of our seats until the exam was over. My palms were definitely getting a little sweaty at that point! She dimmed the lights and I heard the unmistakable sound of the CD player start up. Here we go!The listening section started off pretty easy. It was just simple vocabulary words and phrases, like colors, numbers, basic conversation. Piece of cake! I zipped through those bubbles on my answer sheet, feeling confident.Then came the harder passages. Long dialogues between people at a store or a lecture about photosynthesis in plants. I scrambled to bubbles in the answers as quickly as I could based on what I heard. A few of them really stumped me though. I may have missed some of the finer details while struggling to understand the pronunciations and fast speech.Before I knew it, the listening test was over! Just like that. The coordinator collected the exam booklets as we all filed out in stunned silence. I immediately started analyzing how I thought Idid with Sara and my friends. Overall, it wasn't as bad as I had built it up in my mind, but there were definitely some tough parts.A couple weeks later, the scores were posted online. I actually did better than expected - not too shabby! All those hours of extra English listening practice with my parents must have paid off. In the end, the 2024 Shanghai English Listening Test was a whirlwind of an experience, but not something I'd want to repeat anytime soon. Just thinking about it makes me want to curl up for a nice, long nap! Hey, at least it's over with for another year.篇4The 2024 Shanghai English Listening Exam – A Student's RecollectionIt was a sunny spring morning when I woke up, feeling nervous butterflies fluttering in my tummy. Today was the big day – the 2024 Shanghai English Listening Exam for elementary students. I had been preparing for weeks, listening to English stories and practicing my comprehension skills with my teacher. Still, the thought of taking an important test made me anxious.After getting dressed, I headed to the kitchen where my mom had prepared my favorite breakfast – steamed buns with egg and a warm glass of soy milk. "Eat up," she encouraged with a smile. "You'll need your energy for the exam today." I tried my best to enjoy the delicious meal, but I could only manage a few bites with my stomach doing backflips.The walk to school seemed to pass in a blur. Before I knew it, I was seated at my desk alongside my classmates, all of us clutching our pencils tightly. Our teacher Ms. Wang stood at the front, going over last-minute reminders. "Remember to listen carefully and don't worry – you've prepared so hard for this," she said reassuringly.Finally, it was time. The exam monitors distributed our test booklets, and the audio began to play over the speakers. The first section was about a boy and his pet dog – easy enough to follow. I scribbled down my answers confidently. But then the next passage was more challenging, with the speaker speaking quite rapidly. I found myself struggling to catch all the details.As the exam progressed, I toggled between moments of feeling capable and utterly lost. There were conversations about hobbies, stories about summer vacations, and instructions for baking chocolate chip cookies. Some parts seemedstraightforward, while others left my head spinning, unable to fully comprehend what was being said.During one particularly tricky question about a science experiment, I looked around at my classmates. Some were biting their lips in concentration, while others had f篇5The 2024 Shanghai English Spring Listening Exam - A RecollectionOh boy, that listening exam was really something else! I've been studying English for a few years now, but I don't think anything could have fully prepared me for what we faced that morning. From the moment I stepped through the doors of the testing center, my palms were sweating buckets.There were so many other students there, looking just as nervous as I felt. We had to line up single-file to get our test booklets and instructions. The proctor reminded us over and over to listen very carefully since we would only hear each audio passage one time. One time! I couldn't believe it. In class, our teacher always lets us listen twice if we're struggling. This was gonna be tough.Finally, we were allowed into the testing room. I chose a desk right in the middle so I could hear the audio speakers clearly. The proctor passed out the headphones and did an equipment test to make sure everything was working properly. So far, so good. But then the real trouble began!The first section was just following very basic directions - stuff like "Point to the window" or "Stand up and turn around slowly." Piece of cake! I had those down pat. But then we moved into the conversations, and that's where things got crazy.The first conversation was between two friends arguing about what movie to watch. The audio quality was pretty bad and they were talking over each other constantly. I could barely make out what they were saying! Luckily there were some still pictures that gave me hints about the context. But I'm pretty sure I mixed up a few of the details in that one.The next conversation involved a mom scolding her son about his messy bedroom. The mom had a really thick accent that made her hard to understand. And her son just kept whining "Moooom, I didn't do anything!" Which definitely didn't help. That one was a blur.Things only got more ridiculous from there. One conversation was between these two old men having anargument, but their voices kept getting muffled because apparently they were outdoors and every time a truck drove by, it drowned them out. Another conversation was at a restaurant with a ton of background noise - dishes clanking, waiters talking, music playing. It sounded like chaos!The passages weren't much better either. We had one passage that was supposed to be a YouTube video tutorial about making slime. But the audio kept getting interrupted by YouTube ads every 30 seconds, so it was almost impossible to follow the directions. We also had to listen to a fairy tale story, but the audio skipped and looped a bunch of times. And the last passage was just bananas - it was a professor giving a lecture about quantum physics or something with equations and formulas flying everywhere. I don't think I caught a single word of that one!By the time it was all over, my brain felt like mush. I honestly have no idea how I did on that thing. All I knew was that I desperately needed some peace and quiet! The proctor collected our test booklets and headphones, and we breathed a huge sigh of relief as we were finally allowed to leave.My friend and I met up with our parents outside, and they could see how drained we were. "How did it go?" my dad askednervously. I just looked at him with exhausted eyes and said, "Please...don't make me talk about it." We all had a good laugh at that.Looking back, I guess the listening exam was meant to prepare us for the real world where we'll often have to understand spoken English in less-than-ideal situations. Conversations rarely happen in perfect silence with people speaking clearly all the time. There's almost always some kind of background noise or interference.So in that sense, as bizarre and over-the-top as that exam was, it actually did its job of getting us ready for the challenges of listening comprehension. I just wish there was a way to practice that didn't demolish my nerves and sanity in the process! An English listening workout for the ears AND the soul.Well, there's always next year's exam to look forward to. Maybe I'll start training now by blasting construction noises and screaming goats while my teacher gives lessons. Could be excellent preparation! Or it could just traumatize me for life. Either way, it's sure to be an unforgettable adventure in English listening.篇6The 2024 Shanghai English Spring Exam Listening Section: A Rollercoaster RideThe day of the big English exam finally arrived. I had been studying and practicing for months, but I still felt a bundle of nerves as I stepped into the exam room. The desks were lined up in neat rows, and the air was thick with tension and the faint whiff of pencil shavings.As I took my assigned seat, I noticed my hands were shaking slightly. I tried taking a few deep breaths to calm myself down. "You've got this," I told myself. "Just focus and you'll be fine."The exam proctor began going over the rules and instructions. My heart was pounding in my ears, but I forced myself to listen carefully. When she got to the listening section guidelines, I felt a surge of determination. Listening was my strongest skill!The first question came on and I eagerly put on my headphones. It was a simple conversation between two people ordering food at a restaurant. A smile crept across my face - this was easy! I flew through that first set rapidly bubbling in the answers.But then the questions took an unexpected turn. The recordings became more complex, with multiple speakers, background noises, and trickier vocabulary. There was a heated debate about environmental policies that completely threw me for a loop.I felt sweat beading on my forehead as I strained to understand what was being said. Had we covered this topic in class? I couldn't recall any lessons on greenhouse gas emissions or carbon footprints. Panic began rising within me like a tidal wave.Desperately, I tried to apply the listening strategies we had practiced, like focusing on context clues and stressed words. But it was enormously challenging to pick out the relevant details through the thick haze of unfamiliar terms.By the time that tortuous recording ended, I had bubbled in answers essentially at random. My confidence was in tatters. How could I have prepared better for such curveball topics?The next passage was a news report analyzing economic trends and market fluctuations. I squeezed my eyes shut, feeling lightheaded just trying to comprehend the sophisticated vocabulary. Wasn't this an English exam for elementary students? Why were they torturing us like this?I barely made it through that segment. Sweat was dripping down my face and my hand cramped from gripping my pencil so tightly. When the proctor announced there was one section remaining, I mustered what dregs of determination I could.The final recording was a lecture of some kind, with a professor droning on about existential philosophy and the meaning of life. By that point, my brain was so fried that I could barely string together coherent thoughts, let alone analyze listening passages.I put in one last-ditch effort, but it was like trying to decode ancient hieroglyphics. Those impenetrable words and concepts washed over me, making about as much sense as Charlie Brown's teacher's lectures. Existentialism? Essence preceding existence? I might as well have been listening to gibberish from another planet.When the proctor mercifully announced time was up, I wanted to collapse onto the desk from sheer mental exhaustion. My head was throbbing and I felt utterly defeated.As I trudged out of the exam room, Reality began seeping back in. I couldn't believe how wonderfully difficult - yet beneficial - that listening experience had been. Sure, it pushedme to my limits with wildly advanced content. But those extreme challenges were perfect training to expand my English ears.In the real world, I wouldn't always understand everything either. There would be times when native speakers used complicated jargon or discussed nuanced topics way over my head. By being thrown into those metaphorical deep waters on the exam, I was being forged into a stronger listener.The months of arduous preparation had paid off by enabling me to swim instead of sink, even against those torrential currents of obscure vocabulary and sophisticated subject matter. Even if I didn't earn a perfect score, I had gained something more valuable - increased courage and resilience to persist through incomprehension.With a new surge of pride, I decided to reward myself by splurging on a big ice cream sundae. Piled high with gooey toppings and sprinkles, it would be my sweet celebratory treat for enduring that rollercoaster listening odyssey. One bite at a time, I would happily savor the sugary reminder that the toughest challenges often bring the greatest growth.。

So ambition and the timely realization 1 he would have to determine “what’s next” on his own urged Jason to engage his future self to find direction. It was 1996, and he was finishing his BFA (Bachelor of Fine Art) in Denver. He was faced with the choice of sitting back to wait for something 2 (happen), or pursuing a path into the unknown. He chose the latter.Jason set up a plan that in five years he 3 (show) his work in the top gallery in that area of the country.

Each word can be used only once. Note that there is one word more than you need.12020年上海春季高考英语试题(含答案)Bill Drayton believes we’re in the middle of a necessary but painful historical transi tion. For millenniums most people’s lives had a certain 11 . You went to school to learn a trade or a skill-baking, farming or accounting. Then you could go into the workforce and make a good living repeating the same skill over the course of your career.But these days machines can do pretty much anything that’s 12 . The new world requires a different sort of person. Drayton calls this new sort of personal changemaker.Changemakers are people who can see the patterns around them, identify the problems in any situation, figure out ways to solve the problems in any situation, figure out ways to solve the problem, organize fluid teams, lead collective action and then 13 adapt as situations change.For example, Ashoka fellow Andrés Gallardo is a Mexican who lived in a high crime neighborhood. He created an app, called Haus, that allows people to 14 with their neighbors. The app has a panic button that 15 everybody in the neighborhood when a crime is happening. It allows neighbors to organize, chat, share crime statistics and work together.To form and lead this community of communities, Gallardo had to possess what Drayton calls “cognitive empathy-based living for the good of all.” Congnitive empathy is the ability to perceive how people are feeling in 16 circumstances. “For the good of all” is the capacity to build teams.It doesn’t matter if you are working in the cafeteria or the inspection line of a plant, companies will now only hire people who can 17 problems and organize responses.Millions of people already live with the mind-set. But a lot of people still inhabit the world of following rules and repetitive skills. They hear society telling them: We don’t need you. We don’t need your kids, either.” Of course, thos e people go into reactionary mode and strike back.The central 18 of our time, Drayton says, is to make everyone a changemaker. In an earlier era, he says, society realized it needed universal 19 . Today, schools have to develop the curriculums and assessments to make the changemaking mentality universal. They have to understand this is their criteria for success.Ashoka has studied social movements to find out how this kind of 20 shift can be promoted. It turns out that successful movements take similar steps.III. Reading ComprehensionSection A22020年上海春季高考英语试题(含答案)Directions: For each blank in the following passages there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the work or phrase that best fits the context.More people are travelling than ever before, and lower harriers to entry and falling costs means they are doing so for 21 periods.The rise of “city breaks” --48-hour bursts of foreign cultures, easier on the pocket and annual leave balance has increased tourist numbers, but not their 22 spread. The same attractions have been used to market cities such as Paris, Barcelona and Venice for decades, and visitors use the same infrastructure as residents to reach them. “Too many people do the same thing at the exact same time,” says Font. “For 23 , the city no longer belongs to them.”This starts with marketing, says Font, who notes that Amsterdam has started advising visitors to seek 24 outside of the city centre on its official website. “That takes some balls, really to do that. But only so many people will look at the website, and it means they can say to their residents they’re doing all they can [to ease congestion].”But it also 25 a better way, it is called “detourism”: sustainable travel tips an 26 itineraries for exploring an authentic Venice, off the paths beaten by the 28 million visitors who flock there each year.A greater variety of 27 for prospective visitors ideas for what to do in off-peak seasons, for example, or outside of the city centerlandmarks, or 28 short breaks away in the first place. Longer stays 29 the pressure, says Font. If you go to Paris for two days, you’re going to go to the Eiffel Tower. “If you go for two weeks, you’re not going to go to the Eiffel Tower 14 times.”Similarly, repeat visitors have a better sense of the 30 , “We should be asking how we get tourists to 31 , not how to get them to come for the first time. If they’re coming for the fifth time, it is much easier to integrate their behavior with ours.”Local governments can foster this sustainable activity by giving preference to responsible operator and even high-paying consumers. Font says cities could stand to be more selective about the tourists they try to attract when the current metric for marketing success is how many there are, and how far they’ve come. “You’re thinking, ‘yeah but at what cost...’.”He points to unpublished data from the Barcelona Tourist Board that prioritizes Japanese tourists for spending an average of €40 more per day than French tourist as a(n) 32 that fails to take into account their bigger carbon footprint. 33 tourists are also more likely to be repeat visitors that come at off-peak times, buy local produce, and 34 to less crowded parts of the city all productive steps32020年上海春季高考英语试题(含答案)towards more 35 tourism, and more peaceful relations with residents.21.

Evaluation registration can be done in person, by phone or on-line(C)Everything about nuclear energy seems terrifically big: the cost, construction and decommissioning —and the fears of something going badly wrong.The future, however, may well be much smaller. Dozens of companies are working on a new generation of reactors that, they promise, can deliver nuclear power at lower cost and reduced risk.These small-scale plants will on average generate between 50MW and 300MW of power compared with the 1,000MW-plus from a conventional reactor. They will draw on modular manufacturing techniques that will reduce construction risk, which has plagued larger-scale projects. Supporters believe these advanced modular reactors (AMRs)—most of which will not be commercial until the 2030s—are critical if atomic power is to compete against the rapidly falling costs of solar and wind.“The physics hasn’t changed. It’s about much cleverer design that offers much-needed flexibility in terms of operation,” said Tim Stone, long-term industry adviser and chairman of Nuclear risk Insurers, which insures nuclear sites in the UK.Since the Fukushima meltdown in Japan in 2011, safety fears have threatened nuclear power. But the biggest obstacle today is economic. In Western Europe, just three plants are under construction: in the UK at Hinkley point C in Somerset; at Flamanville in France; and at Olkiluoto in Finland. All involve the European Pressurized Reactor technology of EDF that will be used at Hinkley Point. All are running years late and over budget. In the US, the first two nuclear projects under way for the past 30 years are also blowing through cost estimates.The UK, which opened the world’s first commercial nuclear reactor in 1956, is one of the few western nations committed to renewing its ageing fleet to ensure energy security and meet tough carbon reduction targets. It is seen as a proving ground, by many in the industry, of nuclear power’s ability to restore confidence.However, the co untry’s agreement with EDF to build two units at Hinkley Point—which together will generate 3.2GW of electricity—has come under severe criticism over its cost. The government is looking at different funding models but said it still sees nuclear power as vi tal to the country’s future energy mix. Small reactors, it believes, have the potential to generate much-needed power from the 2030s.62020年上海春季高考英语试题(含答案)A nuclear sector deal, unveiled last month, promised up to ￡56m in funding for research and development into AMRs and attracted interest of start-ups from around the world. The government hopes the funding will give the UK a lead in the global race to develop these technologies, helping to provide energy security while also creating a multibillion-dollar export market for British engineering companies.39. Which of the following is true about the advanced modular reactors (AMRs)?A. AMRs produce more power than traditional reactorsB. Small in scale, AMRs rose more safety risksC. So far, most AMRs have not been put into use yetD. Governments prefer energy of solar and wind to that of AMRs40. In paragraph 5, the author mentions the plants in Western Europe and the US to ________.A. prove that nuclear power has been threatened by safety concern.B. show that the construction of nuclear power plants cost more that the budget available.C. indicate the construction of nuclear plants are slow in speed.D. point out that most power plants have adopted the latest nuclear technology.41. What can be inferred from the passage?A. Some people have lost confidence in the development of nuclear plantsB. The UK government seeks to reduce the negative impact of nuclear power on its economy.C. The plan to build two power plants in Hinkley Point has been desertedD. a kind costs for small modular reactors would be higher relative to large nuclear reactors.42. Which of the following can serve as the best title of this passage?A. Britain counts on nuclear energy to keep lights onB. Traditional nuclear plants boom with mini reactorsC. Nuclear’s share of power generation remain steadD. Nuclear power looks to shrink its way to successⅣ. Summary writing43. Directions:Read the following passage. Summarize the main idea and the main point(s) of the passage in no more than 60 words. Use your own words as far as possible.Where are the bees?Bees are essential to the production of food we eat. Bees make honey, but they also pollinate large areas of crops, such as straw berries, apples and onions. About a third of the food we eat is a result of pollination of the bees. Unfortunately, bees have been disappearing at an alarming rate.72020年上海春季高考英语试题(含答案)In 2006, bee keepers started reporting about something called Colony Collapse Disaster (CCD).The main sign of CCD is the loss of adult honey bees from a hive. In October of 2006, some beekeepers reported that they had lost between 30 and 90 percent of their hives.There were many theories for the disappearance of the bees. But the most convincing one has to do with pesticides and lifestyles of bees today. Nowadays, beekeeper get most of their income not from producing honey but from renting bees to pollinate plants. This means that the life of the typical bee now consists of travelling all around the country to pollinate crops as the seasons change. That means a lot of traveling on trucks, which is very stressful to bees. It is not unusual for up to 30% of the hive to die during transport due to stress. In addition, bees that spend most of their time locked up on trucks are not exposed to what they usually live on. Instead, they live on a sweet liquid from corn, usually polluted with pesticides.The exact reason for the disappearance of bees is not sure, but losing bees is very costly to the economy. The bee pollination services are worth over $8 billion a year. With no bees, pollination will have to be done by hand, which would have effects on the quality of food and increased food priced. We hear a lot about big environmental disasters almost every day. But one of the biggest may just be the less of that tiny flying insect._____________________________________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________________________________________第Ⅱ卷（共40分）Ⅴ.

The conversations and the questions will be spoken only once. After you hear a conversation and the question about it, read the four possible answers on your paper, and decide which one is the best answer to the question you have heard.1.W: Good afternoon. Take a seat, please.M: Thank you. I want to have my hair cut and dyed black today.Question：Where does the conversation most probably take place to?2. W: Excuse me, where is the dining hall on the first floor of the dormitory building? M: But I'm afraid it's closed now.

I can't find it anywhere in my handbag.M: I remember you used it yesterday to pay for those shoes with your credit card. Question: What is the woman looking for?4. W: That's the best lecture. I've really enjoyed it.M: But you fell asleep right after it started.Question: What can we learn from the conversation?5. W: Shall we go shopping or take some snacks?M: Whatever you decide is cool with me.Question: What does the man mean?6. M: Look!Page after page of advertisements. It's a waste of time reading them. W: Well, there are some that may cheat people into buying products.Many are quite informative.Question:What is the woman's opinion of advertisements?7. W: Hi, Wang. Welcome back. How is your training program in Shanghai?M: It was fruitful,although I didn't have much time to walk around as expected. Question: How does the man feel about his training program?8. W: Would you like to come round for dinner on my birthday? It's next Saturday, the 18th.M: But for the school charity sale on that very day, I would come.Question:What does the man mean?9. W: You kept coughing all night. Didn't you take the pills?M: No, I didn't. I couldn't see the point.Question:what does the man imply?10. W: You were on the phone for an hour.M: It was my mom.Rarely do we run out of conversation.Question: What can we learn about the man?2.Section BDirections: In Section B, you will hear two passages and a longer conversation, andThe passages and the conversation will be read twice, but the question will be spoken only once. When you hear a question, read the four possible answers on your paper and decide which one is the best answer to the question you have heard. Questions 11 through 13 are based on the following passage.Every year in the U.S. about 133 million pounds of food goes to waste. A lot of it is fruits and vegetables, like three legged carrots, and fought strawberries. They are deserted simply because they are not pretty enough to bed is played on store shelves. If you look at the big picture, about a third of the planet's food goes to waste for the same reason.That's enough to feed 2 billion people. Now, a company called Imperfect Me is trying to change that situation. The company collects ugly fruits and vegetables from farmers and markets and sells them to local residents at a deep discount. It can be 30 to 50% of the regular price. Similar campaigns are underway in places like Boston, as well as Portugal and the UK.For now, most chain supermarkets don't carry ugly fruits and vegetables. But Steve Clark's of Imperfect Me hopes the supermarkets will come around because customers want such food. He says it is really easy to convince people when they realize they can pay a lower price to get the same kind of taste and health.Now listen again.Questions 14 through 16 are based on the following passage.A city in England has started an ambitious plan to plant as many as 1 million trees every year for the next decade. The project is called the City of Trees. Project director Tony Brown explained that the green venture has three main aims. He said, One is to plant a tree for every man, woman, and child over the next decade. Next, we are very much focused on bringing existing woodland into management because it doesn't make any sense to plant new woodland if you can't manage what you've got already.Finally, we want to engage people a lot more in their natural environment that is implanting trees in managing areas. And in understanding more about the benefits that trees and woodlands bring to our society, Mr. Brown further outlined the reasons for the recently launched environmental project. He said our city wants to be a world class region. We have a lot of fantastic economic development going on, but the natural environment needs to keep up with that.He believes the project will reconnect people with trees and the natural world, provide benefits to health and reduce stress. He said “woodlands can do great things in terms of air pollution reduction and can help to protect against noise pollution. They can also help cities and towns reduce the urban heat island effec t and flooding”. Now listen again.At a campus police station.W: How can I help you?M: I think my car has been stolen.M: It's a red minivan.W: When and where did you last see it?M: This morning I left it in front of NO. 1 classroom building.W: Let me check. It appears your van was in the staff only parking zone.M: I'm sorry. I was a bit late for my class. I had to find a place so I could get to my classroom quickly.W: But since you shouldn't have left your car there, it was moved away.M: Then how do I get my car back?W: Well. Go to the campus traffic office. That's opposite the administration building, and on the left side of the stadium, please bring your student card along.M: I will. Do I have to pay a fine?W: I'm sorry to say yes.There's a parking fine. And before taking your car, you also have to pay for the storage fee.M: OK. How much will that be?W: The storage fee is $5per day. So you'd better pick up your car today if possible. The fine is 50.But if you pay within three days, the fine is reduced to 20. I see.M: Thanks.Now listen again.Questions:17. What happened to the man's car?18. What can be learned about the staff only parking zone?19. To get back his car, where should the man go?20. How much should the man pay altogether if he picks up his car this afternoon? That's the end of listening comprehension.Questions 17 through 20 are based on the following conversation.At a campus police station.W: How can I help you?M: I think my car has been stolen.W: Can you give me the details?M: It's a red minivan.W: When and where did you last see it?M: This morning I left it in front of NO. 1 classroom building.W: Let me check.

Can it arrive within 2 days?Sure, no problem.Q: Where does this conversation probably take place?4. My brother is thinking of eating out with us Saturday night. Any suggestions?It is up to you. I don’t know the restaurants around here that well. Q: What does the man mean?5. The floor is awfully wet. What happened?The moment I got into the shower, the phone rang.Q: What does the man imply?6. I’m going to a party at Carol’s house.You can’t be serious! We’ve got two tests at school tomorrow!Q: How does the woman feel about the man’s idea?7.

I’m just going out.Q: What does the woman imply?9. It has been pouring for days now.Tomorrow is my day at the beach. I will just have to forget about it if it doesn’t clear up.Q: What does the woman imply?10. When I’m playing the piano, I don’t worry about anything. How about you?I go to the gym everyday. It helps me deal with stress.Q: What are the two speakers talking about?Section BWhen I was 12, my parents moved out of London to a small village near Oxford.I was the only Asian girl in my school, and I suddenly felt a bit lonely. Luckily, I had a brilliant art teacher, who encouraged me to go to Art College. However, on the day of my college interview in bad, I woke up late. I left the house wearing two odd shoes and didn’t notice that my bottle of chocolate milk had poured all over the painting in my bag. Then when I finally got to the station, I got on the wrong train! Who knows if I had gone to that that day, I might’ve become a professional artist! But, I went to Swindon instead.I told the woman next to me on the train about what had happened, and she said and cried with laughter. It turned out she was the producer of a comedy program on the radio. To cut a long story short, I got an invitation a week later to attend an interview for the show, and the rest, as they say, is history. I’m very lucky. My life has been full of happy accidents. Now I’min charge of a very popular TV comedy program.Questions:11. Why did the speaker feel lonely in her new school?12. Where did the speaker plan to go for her college interview?13. What incident has changed her fate?Today I will make a speech on zoos. Many people think zoos are cruel and have no place in the modern world. It is my own opinion that zoos, although not perfect, do have a useful function. Firstly, zoos are places of education. Zoos can help children to appreciate nature. Furthermore, research into animal behavior is done in zoos and has increased our knowledge of zoology, genetics and even psychology. Above all, zoos can protect the future of many species of animal. Many species today are in danger of distinction. And thanks to zoos, they have a chance of survival. Opponents of zoos say that they are cruel. First of all, they argue zoos cannot recreate the environment in which animals live and because of this, animals are bored and depressed. Secondly, animals have frequent contact with human visitors, which can be stressful. However, in my opinion, most zoos have improved recently. It is now quite rare to see animals in cages, and most zoos try hard to recreate the environments in which different animals live. In conclusion, although zoosare not a perfect environment for animals, I believe that they have more advantages than disadvantages. In an ideal world, zoos would not be necessary, but as long as man hunts animals for profit and destroys their environments, zoos are essential.Questions:14. What is the most important function of zoos according to the speaker?15. Why are some people against zoos?16. What does the speaker think of zoos?Section CBlanks 17~20W: Good morning, I’d like to rent a family car please.M: Yes ma’am. For how long?W: Hmm…14 days.M: Where do you want to leave the car?W: Can I leave it at the downtown office?M: Sure. May I see your driver’s license?W: I have an international driver’s license.M: Fine, now thank you. Now do you want a personal accident insurance?W: Yes, please.M: Right. Can you sign your name here?W: There you go!M: How do you want to pay?W: Cash, please.One word!Blanks 21~24M: In England today, are schools mixed or single sex?W: Well, there are both. 50 years ago, all schools used to be single sex…I mean girls only or boys only. Then in the 1970s, many schoolschanged and became mixed.M: Do parents still prefer mixed schools?W: No, things have changed. Today, many parents, especially parents of girls think that their children get a better education in single sexschools.M: Why do girls do better at single sex schools?W: Because girls learn to be more self confident and less worried about their appearance.M: What about boys?W: Well, today many parents of boys want to send them to mixed schools.They think that the girls will be a positive influence on boys. M: So generally speaking, who does better at mixed schools? W: Oh, the girls! They get better exam results than boys.No more than three words!。

For the blanks with a given word, fill in each blank with the proper form of the given word; for the other blanks, use one word that best fits each blank.Start With the End and Work BackwardsWhen Jason Hoelscher was a n undergraduate of fine art studies, there weren’t any professional development classes. So ambition and the timely realization (21) he would have to determine “what’s next” on his own urged Jason to engage his future self to find direction. It was 1996,and he was finishing his BFA(Bachelor of Fine Art) in Denver. He was faced with the choice of sitting back to wait for something (22) (happen),or pursuing a path into the unknown. He chose the latter.Jason set up a plan that in five years he (23) (show) his work in the top gallery in that area of the country. This five-year goal gave him a starting point (24) which to work backwards.By setting the goal, all of Jason’s efforts (25) (point) in the same direction. He showed up at different art show openings, and researched as best he could to make (26) familiar with the market environment.As a result of showing up, Jason took opportunities (27) got him closer to his goal. He sent work to a student show and was accepted by Robin Rule, the owner of Rule Gallery.(28) (inspire),Jason spent the next month making new work.In April of 1997,Jason went back to Rule Gallery with his new work.(29) scared to death, he looked confident at the gallery meeting. When he left, he left as the newest addition to the Rule Gallery roster (花名册),He had his first exhibition there one year later.Jason could have stopped with the show selection, but what he really wanted was gallery representation. He struck while the iron was hot, and in (30) (do) so, shortened his five-year plan into a year-and-a-half.Section BDirections: Fill in each blank with a proper word chosen from the box. Each word can be usedonly once. Note that there is one word more than you need.Bill Drayton believes we’re in the middle of a necessary but painful historical transition. For millenniums most people’s lives had a certain 31 .You went to school to learn a trade or a skill-baking, farming or accounting. Then you could go into the workforce and make a good living repeating the same skill over the course of your career.But these days machines can do pretty much anything that’s32 .The new world requires a different sort of person. Drayton calls this new sort of personal changemaker. Changemakers are people who can see the patterns around them, identify the problems in any situation, figure out ways to solve the problems in any situation, figure out ways to solve the problem, organize fluid teams, lead collective action and then 33 adapt as situations change. For example, Ashoka fellow Andrés Gallardo is a Mexican who lived in a high crime neighborhood. He created an app, called Haus, that allows people to 34 with their neighbors. The app has a panic button that 35 everybody in the neighborhood when a crime is happening. It allows neighbors to organize, chat, share crime statistics and work together.To form and lead this community of communities, Gallardo had to possess what Drayton calls “cognitive empathy-based living for the good of all.” Cognitive empathy is the ability to perceive how people are feeling in 36 circumstances. “For the good of all” is the capacity to build teams.It doesn’t matter if you are working in the cafeteria or the inspection line of a plant, companies will now only hire people who can 37 problems and organize responses.Millions of people already live with the mind-set. But a lot of people still inhabit the world of following rules and repetitive skills. They hear society telling them: “We don’t need you. We don’t need your kids, either.” Of course, those people go into reactionary mode and strike back.The central 38 of our time, Drayton says, is to make everyone a changemaker. In an earlier era, he says, society realized it needed universal 39 .Today,schools have to develop the curriculums and assessments to make the changemaking mentality universal. They have to understand this is their criteria for success.Ashoka has studied social movements to find out how this kind of 40 shift can be promoted. It turns out that successful movements take similar steps.III.Reading ComprehensionSection ADirections: For each blank in the following passages there are four words or phrases marked A,B,C and D. Fill in each blank with the work or phrase that best fits the context.More people are travelling than ever before, and lower barriers to entry and falling costs means they are doing so for 41 periods.The rise of “city breaks” 48-hour bursts of foreign cultures, easier on the pocket and annual leave balance has increased tourist numbers, but not their 42 spread. The same attractions have been used to market cities such as Paris, Barcelona and Venice for decades, and visitors use the same infrastructure as residents to reach them. “Too many people do the same thing at the exact same time,” says Font. “For 43 ,the city no longer belongs to them.”This starts with marketing, says Font, who notes that Amsterdam has started advising visitors to seek 44 outside of the city centre on its official website. “That takes some balls, really, to do that. But only so many people will look at the website, and it means they can say to their residents they’re doing all they can [to ease congestion].”But it also 45 a better way, it is called “detourism” :sustainable travel tips an46 itineraries for exploring an authentic Venice, off the paths beaten by the 28 million visitors who flock there each year.A greater variety of 47 for prospective visitors ------ ideas for what to do in off-peak seasons, for example, or outside of the city center can have the effect of divertingthem from already saturated landmarks, or 48 short breaks away in the first place. Longer stays 49 the pressure, says Font. “If you go to Paris for two days, you’re going to go to the Eiffel Tower. If you go for two weeks, you’re not going to go to the Eiffel Tower 14 times.”Similarly, repeat visitors have a better sense of the 50 , “We should be asking how we get tourists to 51 ,not how to get them to come for the first time. If they ‘re coming for the fifth time, it is much easier to integrate their behavior with ours.”Local governments can foster this sustainable activity by giving preference to responsible operator and even high-paying consumers. Font says cities could stand to be more selective about the tourists they try to attract when the current metric for marketing success is how many there are, and how far they’v e come. “You’re thinking, ‘yeah but at what cost’.”He points to unpublished data from the Barcelona Tourist Board that prioritizes Japanese tourists for spending an average of 640 more per day than French tourist as a(n) 52 that fails to take into account their bigger carbon footprint. 53 tourists are also more likely to be repeat visitors that come at off-peak times, buy local produce, and 54 to less crowded parts of the city all productive steps towards more 55 tourism, and morepeaceful relations with residents.41.

Dozens of companies are working on a new generation of reactors that, they promise, can deliver nuclear power at lower cost and reduced risk.These small-scale plants will on average generate between 50MW and 300MW of powercompared with the 1,000MW-plus from a conventional rector. They will draw on modular manufacturing techniques that will reduce construction risk, which has plagued larger-scale projects. Supporters believe these advanced modular reactors(AMRs)—most of which will not be commercial until the 2030s—are critical if atomic power is to compete against the rapidly falling costs of solar and wind.“The physics hasn’t changed. It’s about much cleverer design that offers much-needed flexibility in terms of operation,” said Tim Stone, long-term industry adviser and chairman of Nuclear Risk Insurers, which insures nuclear sites in the UK.Since the Fukushima meltdown in Japan in 2011,safety fears have threatened nuclear power. But the biggest obstacle today is economic. In western Europe, just three plants are under construction: in the UK at Hinkley Point C in Somerset; at Flamanville in France; and at Olkiluoto in Finland. All involve the European Pressurized Reactor technology of EDF that will be used a t Hinkley Point. All are running years late and over budget. In the US, the first two nuclear projects under way for the past 30 years are also blowing through cost estimates.The UK, which opened the world’s first commercial nuclear reactor in 1956,is one of the few western nations committed to renewing its ageing fleet to ensure energy security and meet tough carbon reduction targets. It is seen as a proving ground, by many in the industry, of nuclear power’s ability to restore confidence.However, the country’s agreement with EDF to build two units at Hinkley Point—which together will generate 3.2GW of electricity—has come under severe criticism over its cost. The government is looking at different funding models but said it still sees nuclear power as vital to the country’s future energy mix. Small reactors, it believes, have th e potential to generate much-needed power from the 2030s.A nuclear sector deal, unveiled last month, promised up to ₤56m in funding for research and development into AMRs and attracted interest of start-ups from around the world. The government hopes the funding will give the UK a lead in the global race to develop these technologies, helping to provide energy security while also creating a multibillion-dollar export market for British engineering companies.63.Which of the following is true about the advanced modular reactors (AMRs)?A.AMRs produce more power than traditional reactors.B.Small in scale, AMRs rose more safety risks.C.So far, most AMRs have not been put into use yet.ernments prefer energy of solar and wind to that of AMRs.64.In paragraph 5,the author mentions the plants in Western Europe and the US to .A.prove that nuclear power has been threatened by safety concern.B.show that the construction of nuclear power plants cost more that the budget available.C.indicate the construction of nuclear plants are slow in speed.D.point out that most power plants have adopted the latest nuclear technology.65.What can be inferred from the passage?A.Some people have lost confidence in the development of nuclear plants.B.The UK government seeks to reduce the negative impact of nuclear power on its economy.C.The plan to build two power plants in Hinkley Point has been deserted.D.A kind costs for small modular reactors would be higher relative to large nuclear r eactors.66.Which of the following can serve as the best title of this passage?A.Britain counts on nuclear energy to keep lights onB.Traditional nuclear plants boom with mini reactorsC.Nuclear ’s share of power generation remain steadyD.Nuclear power looks to shrink its way to successIV.Summary WritingDirections: Read the following passage. Summarize the main idea and the main point(s) of the passage in no more than 60 words. Use your own words as far as possible.Where are the bees?Bees are essential to the production of food we eat. Bees make honey, but they also pollinate large areas of crops, such as strawberries, apples and onions. About a third of the food we eat is a result of pollination of the bees. Unfortunately, bees have been disappearing at an alarming rate.In 2006,bee keepers started reporting about something called Colony Collapse Disaster(CCD).The main sign of CCD is the loss of adult honey bees from a hive. In October of 2006,some beekeepers reported that they had lost between 30 and 90 percent of their hives.There were many theories for the disappearance of the bees. But the most convincing one has to do with pesticides and lifestyles of bees today. Nowadays, beekeeper get most of their income not from producing honey but from renting bees to pollinate plants. This means that the life of the typical bee now consists of travelling all around the country to pollinate crops as the seasons change. That means a lot of traveling on trucks, which is very stressful to bees. It is not unusual for up to 30% of the hive to die during transport due to stress. In addition, bees that spend most of their time locked up on trucks are not exposed to what they usually live on. Instead, they live on a sweet liquid from corn, usually polluted with pesticides.The exact reason for the disappearance of bees is not sure, but losing bees is very costly to the economy. The bee pollination services are worth over $8 billion a year. With no bees, pollination will have to be done by hand, which would have effects on the quality of food and increased food priced. We hear a lot about big environmental disasters almost every day. But one of the biggest may just be the loss of that tiny flying insect.第 II 卷（共 40 分）V.Translation：Translate the following sentences into English, using the words given in the brackets.1.究竟是什么激发小王学习电子工程的积极性？（motivate）2.网上支付方便了客户，但是牺牲了他们的隐私。

When you hear a question, read the four possible answers on your paper and decide which one is the best answer to the question you have heard.Questions 11 through 13are based on the following passage.Old people used to say it's not what you want in this world but what you get. Psychology teaches that you do get what you want if you know what you want and want the right things.You can make a mental blueprint of a desire as you would make a blueprint of a house. For example, if we intend to have friends to dinner, we plan the menu,make a shopping list, and such planning is essential for any type of meal to be served. Likewise. if you want to find a job. write a brief account of yourself.In making a blueprint for a job, begin with yourself. For when you know exactly what you have to offer, you can intelligently plan where to sell your services.This account of yourself is actually a picture of you working life and should include education, experience and references. It can be referred to in filling out standard application blanks and is extremely helpful in personal interviews. When you have carefully prepared a blueprint of your abilities and desires, you have something concrete to sell, then you are ready to hunt for a job.Questions:11What do the elders mean when they say it's not what you want in this world but what you get?12.Why does the writer mention making a blueprint before inviting a friend to dinner?13.According to the text, why must one write an account of himself before starting to find a jobQuestions 14 through 16are based on the following talk.Once a business has successfully introduced a new process, the parent organization naturally wants to repeat that success. The goal then is to use existing knowledge. It's less attractive, but it actually happens more often. However, getting things right the second time is not necessarily any simpler than it was the first time. It seems that most large industries are trying to repeat their previous successes, but most of the attempts fail. So why do so few managers get things right the second time? Let's consider one reason for failure: placing too much trust in the people who are running the successful operation. Managers who want to apply existing knowledge typically start off by going to an expert. This approach can be used if you want to gain a rough understanding of a particular system or understand smaller isolated problems. The trouble is, even the expert doesn't fully grasp the whole thing. When it comes to complex systems, the expert never has complete access to all the necessary information. And the situation is complicated even further by the fact that experts are usually not aware of their own ignorance. For instance, some details may be difficult to describe,learned on the job and well known by workers perhaps, but impossible to describe in a way that's helpful. And there are some things that people know or do that they're not even aware of.Questions.14.According to the speaker, how our attempts to copy existing processes compared with introducing new business processes?15.What does the speaker say about asking experts for advice?16.Why can't experts fully understand a business system?Questions 17 through 20are based on the following conversation.W:Welcome.

Listening ComprehensionSection ADirections: In Section A, you will hear ten short conversations between two speakers. At the end of each conversation, a question will be asked about what was said. The conversations and the questions will be spoken only once. After you hear a conversation and a question about it, read the four possible answers on your paper, and decide which one is the best answer to the question you have heard.Text 1W: You waited at the new restaurant yesterday, didn’t you? Was there much of a wait to be seated?M: Wish I had bought a book or something to kill my time.Q: What does the man imply about the new restaurant?Text 2W: Don’t you have your apartment key?M: It’s a good thing I leave a spare with my neighbor, so I can get in and get my books.Q: What will the man most probably do next?Text 3M: I don’t think we have enough information for our financial plan, but it’s due tomorrow.W: So we will just have to make do with what we have got.Q: What does the woman say they have to do?Text 4W: Have you ever taken Doctor Parker’s tests? I hear they’re impossible to pass.M: I don’t know who you’ve been talking to. My experience was just the opposite.Q: What does the man imply?Text 5M: I’m really happy I got that athletic scholarship, but I wish my parents would stop boasting about it. W: If you ask me, I think you deserve a little bit recognition.Q: What does the woman mean?Text 6M: What sort of a grade did you get on your research paper? I know how hard you worked on it.W: But the professor said that I made too many broad claims that weren’t supported enough.Q: What does the woman mean about her research paper?Text 7M: Mary, do you think the dish needs any more salt before I serve it?W: It’s really quite nice. And we did exactly what mom says. Why take a chance of ruining it?Q: What does the woman imply the man should do?Text 8M: Would you mind asking Julia to give me a call? I was hoping she would be able to help out with course registration next week.W: Sure, if I see her, she’s made herself pretty scarce lately.Q: What does the woman mean?Text 9M: I just got this car and it’s already falling apart one of the door handles fell off and now the inside light won’t go on.W: Hey, what’s the big deal? Falling apart is when your car needs a new engine, like mine does.Q: What does the woman mean about the man’s car?Text 10W: I am thinking about spending my spring breaks skiing at central mountains. You were there last year. How was it?M: To be completely honest, that left a lot to be desired.Q: What does the man imply?Section BDirections: In Section B, you will hear two passages and one longer conversation. After each passage or conversation, you will be asked several questions. The passages and the conversation will be read twice, but the questions will be spoken only once. When you hear a question, read the four possible answers on your paper, and decide which one is the best answer to the question you have heard.Questions 11 through 13 are based on the following passage.Old people used to say it’s not what you want in the world but what you get. Psychology teaches that you do get what you want if you know what you want and want the right things. You can make a mental blueprint of a desire as you would make a blueprint of a house. For example, if we intend to have friends to dinner, we plan the menu, make a shopping list, and such planning is essential for any type of meal to be served. Likewise, if you want to find a job, write a brief account of yourself. In making a blueprint for a job, begin with yourself, for when you know exactly what you have to offer, you can intelligently planwhere to sell your services. This account of yourself is actually a picture of your working life and should include education, experience and references. It can be referred to in filling out standard application blanks and is extremely helpful in personal interviews. When you have carefully prepared a blueprint of your abilities and desires, you have something concrete to sell, then you are ready to hunt for a job.(Now listen again)Questions:11. What do the elders mean when they say it’s not what you want in this world but what you get?12. Why does the writer mention making a blueprint before inviting a friend to dinner?13. According to the text, why must one write an account of himself before starting to find a job? Questions 14 through 16 are based on the following passage.Once a business has successfully introduced a new process, the parent organization naturally wants to repeat that success. The goal then is to use existing knowledge. It’s less attractive, but it actually happens more often. However, getting things right the second time is not necessarily any simpler than it was the first time. It seems that most large industries are trying to repeat their previous successes, but most of the attempts fail. So why do so few managers get things right the second time? Let’s consider one reason for failure: placing too much trust in the people who are running the successful operation. Managers who want to apply existing knowledge typically start off by going to an expert. This approach can be used if you want to gain a rough understanding of a particular system or understand smaller isolated problems. The trouble is, even the expert doesn’t fully grasp the whole thing. When it comes to complex systems, the expert never has complete access to all the necessary information. And the situation is complicated even further by the fact that experts are usually not aware of their own ignorance. For instance, some details may be difficult to describe, learned on the job and well known by workers perhaps, but impossible to describe in a way that’s helpful. And there are some things that people know or do that they’re not even aware of.(Now listen again)Questions:14. According to the speaker, how our attempts to copy existing processes compared with introducing new business processes?15. What does the speaker say about asking experts for advice?16. Why can’t experts fully understand a business system?Questions 17 through 20 are based on the following conversation.W: Welcome. We’re delighted you’re coming to work with us, Justin. Your first job here will be an assistant journalist. Do you have any questions?M: Can I go out on a story immediately?W: That’s admirable, but I’m afraid it would be unusual.

According to queuing theories, mathematicians who predict queue length and waiting times, you are not alone in such an unpleasant situation.Queuing theory explains why there's probably no way you can always be in the fastest line. The explanation goes something like this. A supermarket tries to have enough checkout counters open to get all their customers through with minimum delay. Despite the well trained workforce and ever upgrading security systems, there are always going to be busy periods. Because supermarkets don't have the physical space to add more checkout lines. During these busier times, their system becomes overloaded. One small interruption, such as a price check or chatty customer results in a chain of reactions to affect the entire line behind them.If there are three lines at a store, these delays will happen randomly at different checkout counters. The chances of your line being the quickest are only one and three. So you are not just imagining another line probably is moving faster than yours.Now listen again.The next time you end up on the slowest moving queue at the supermarket, don't blame your bad luck anymore.

Despite the well trained workforce and ever upgrading security systems, there are always going to be busy periods. Because supermarkets don't have the physical space to add more checkout lines. During these busier times, their system becomes overloaded. One small interruption, such as a price check or chatty customer results in a chain of reactions to affect the entire line behind them.If there are three lines at a store, these delays will happen randomly at different checkout counters. The chances of your line being the quickest are only one and three. So you are not just imagining another line probably is moving faster than yours.Now listen again.The next time you end up on the slowest moving queue at the supermarket, don't blame your bad luck anymore.
