Section B
Directions: In Section B, you will hear two short passages and one longer conversation, and you will be asked questions on each of them. The passages and 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 would be the best answer to the question you have heard.
Questions are based on the following passage

11.
A. They are gardeners. B. They sell vegetables.
C. They run a guesthouse. D. They are scientists.
12.

C. Twelve hours. D. Fourteen hours.

【答案】11. C 12. A 13. C
【解析】
Hello, everyone. Welcome back to the program. We all know plants need sunshine to grow. But actually. not all vegetables need lots of sunshine. Mark Hoffman and his wife own a guesthouse in Kempton, Illinois. They often serve their guests fresh vegetables from their garden. For almost ten years, the Hoffmans have been experimenting with shade plantings. Curious visitors often ask how they do it. Here is the answer: they grow tomatoes near the trees that produce a lot of shade. Tomato plants grow as long as they get five hours a day of direct sunshine, especially morning sun. This goes against the traditional advice that tomatoes need eight, even twelve hours a day of full sun. In fact, plants and tree roots can share something in common. Besides tomatoes, the Hoffimans grow Irish potatoes. Plants with wider leaves seem to do better in shady environments. The potatoes grow better in the shade than in full sun.
Questions:
What do the Hoffmans do for a living?
How much direct sunshine do tomato plants actually need every day?
Why do Irish potatoes grow better in shade?

Questions are based on the following passage

14.
A. It is produced in small quantities. B. It is sold at a lower price.
C. It is served mainly in McDonald’s. D. It is grown from cows alone.
15.
A. The land and the water system have been polluted seriously.
B. Not enough meat has been produced to meet people’s needs.
C. Much land has been used up for animals and their food.
D. It has consumed fewer and fewer natural resources.
16.
A. Steaks and hamburgers. B. Animal nights.
C. The food crisis in the future. D. Lab-grown meat.
【答案】14. B 15. C 16. D
【解析】
According to scientists in the Netherlands, the steaks and hamburgers of the future could be made not from the flesh of cows but from artificial meat created in a laboratory
Dr. Mark Post from the University of Maastricht has already grown a small strip of artificial beef. about the size of a sticking plaster, using cells from a cow, and expects to have a whole artificial hamburger ready to eat in October. By then, so much time and money will have gone into the project that the burger would cost rather more than you’ d expect to pay in your local McDonald’s at least $300000 in fact.
The scientists hope it will eventually be possible to produce artificial meat in huge quantities, and much more cheaply, from the cells of only a small number of animals. If they are successful. a single cow could theoretically produce a million times beef than it does at present.
The environmental benefits could be enormous. Worldwide meat production uses up a huge amount of land (not just for farm animals to live on but also to produce the food they eat), and by 2050. when the global population might have risen to nine billion, it will probably be impossible for people to eat as much meat on average as we do now- unless, that is, a way is found to produce it using far fewer natural resources..
Lab-grown meat is also an attractive prospect for anyone interested in animal rights, offering the possibility of a world in which fewer animals are raised for slaughter.
Questions:
According to the passage, what do the scientists hope to achieve about artificial meat?
According to the passage, what is the result of the present worldwide meat production?
What does the passage mainly talk about?

【答案】17. A 18. D 19. D 20. A
【解析】
M: When I live in Sweden, people always want to know about the seasons.
W: The seasons?
M: Yeah, you know how cold it is in winter? What is it like when the days are so short?
W: So what is it like?
M: Well, it is cold, very cold in winter. Sometimes it is as cold as 26 degrees below centigrade. And of course when you go out, you’ll wrap up warn. But in the houses it’s always very warm, much warmer than at home. Swedish people always complain that when they visit England, the houses are cold even in a good winter.
W: And what about the darkness?
M: Well, yeah, around Christmas time there’s only one hour of daylight, so you really look forward to the spring. It is sometimes a bit depressing. But, you see. the summers are amazing. Form May to July in the North of Sweden, the sun never sets It’s still light at midnight. You can walk in the mountains and read a newspaper.
W: Oh, yeah, the land of the midnight sun.
M: Yeah that’s night, but it’s wonderful. You wanna stay up all night. And the Swedes make the most of it. They often start work earlier in summer and then leave at 2:00 or 3: 00 in the afternoon, so that they can really enjoy the long summer evenings. They’d like to work hard, but play hard too. I think Londoners work longer hours, but I’m not sure whether this is a good thing.
Questions:
What do we learn about the man from the conversation?
What do Swedish people complain about when they visit England in winter?
How does the man describe the short hour of daylight around Christmas in Swede?
What does the man say about the Swedish people?

How to Make the Most of Your Lunch Hour
Should you grab a bite at your desk or eat with your colleagues? That depends on what’s on your agenda for the rest of the day.
Lunch hours ____21____ (get) shorter and shorter and even disappearing in some parts of today’s working world. With fewer employees ____22____ (ask) to accomplish more in a day many Americans treat lunch not as a break but as just another task to squeeze into an already over-booked day.
But do quick meals at the desk actually improve productivity over more leisurely meals?

But when they assigned one group to eat at their desks and another to dine with a colleague at a restaurant, the found those who ate lunch together showed a decline ____23____ their performance on tests that measured concentration, memory and the ability to catch errors and read emotions in facial expressions following lunch than before lunch. Both groups ate the same meals, but those who ate alone were only given 20 minutes to consume their food, ____24____ the paired participants were allowed one hour in the restaurant. Those who ate alone did not have as large a drop in their cognitive processing as those who ate in the restaurant.
What was responsible for the change? There were too many variables at play to determine which had the strongest influence on cognitive control-was it the companionship, or was it the restaurant environment ____25____ other diners were present, music was played and the meal was served by wait staff, or was it the longer time to enjoy the meal?
____26____ factor was responsible, the group that took: a restaurant lunch break came back more relaxed, say the authors, and that likely affected their cognitive sharpness. Sharing a meal aside the office with a friend appears to have a ____27____ (calm) effect, and while it reduces intellectual skills, it may develop social harmony and teamwork, which ____28____ be an important feature of some work tasks.
But don’t feel sorry for the lone lunchers. It turns out ____29____ since they were able to maintain their cognitive skills following the meal, they might be in a better position ____30____ (think) creatively for projects that require more innovative solutions or approaches.

22. asked 23. in

Genes That Make You Smarter
The contributions genes make to intelligence increase as children grow older. This goes against the idea most people hold that as we age, environmental influences gradually overpower the genetic legacy (遗产) we are born with and may have ____31____ for education.
“People assume the genetic influence goes down with age because the environmental differences between people pile up in life,” says Robert Plomin. “What we found was quite ____32____ and goes in the other direction.”
Previous studies have shown variations in intelligence are ____33____ due to genetics. To find out whether this genetic contribution varies with age, Plomin’s team gathered data from six separate studies carried out in 4 countries, ____34____ a total of 11000 pairs of twins. The researchers tested twins on reasoning, arithmetics etc. to measure a quantity called “G”. Each study also included both identical twins, with the same genes, and fraternal twin (异卵双生) sharing about half their genes, making it possible to ____35____ the contributions of genes and environment to their G scores.
Plomin’s team calculated in childhood, genes account for about 4l percent of the variation in intelligence. In adolescence, this rose to 55 percent; by young adolescence, it was 66 percent.
No one ____36____ knows why the influence from genes should increase with age, but Plomin suggests that as children get older, they become better at handling their environment to suit their genetic needs, and says “kids with high G will use their environment to develop their cognitive ability and choose friends who are like-minded, Children with ____37____ to low G may choose less challenging pastimes and activities, further emphasizing their genetic legacy.”
Is there any way to interfere with the pattern? Perhaps. “The evidence of strong heritability (遗传可能性) doesn’t mean that there is nothing you can do about it,” says Susanne Jaeggi, “from our own work, the ones that started off with lower IQ scores had higher ____38____ training.”
Plomin suggests genetic differences may be more emphasized if all children share an identical curriculum instead of it being ____39____ to children’s natural abilities. “My tendency would be to give everyone a good education, but put more effort into the lower end,” he says.
Intelligence researchers Paul Thompson agrees: “It shows that educators need to ____40____ ads towards things drawing out their natural talents.

Ⅲ. Reading Comprehension
Section A
Direction: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.
Open data-sharers are still in the minority in many fields. Although many researchers broadly agree that public access to raw data would promote science, most are ____41____ to post the results of their own labours online.
Some communities have agreed to share online-geneticists, for example, post DNA sequences at the GenBank repository (库), and astronomers are accustomed to ____42____ images of galaxies and stars from, say, the Sloan Digital Sky Survey, a telescope that has observed some 500 million objects-but these remain the ____43____. not the rule. Historically, scientists have ____44____ sharing for many reasons: it is a lot of work, until recently, good databases did not exist; grant funders were not pushing for sharing; it has been difficult to agree on standards for formatting data, and there is no agreed way to assign credit for data.
But the ____45____ are disappearing in part because journals and funding agencies worldwide are encouraging scientists to make their data ____46____. Last year, the Royal Society in London said in its report that scientists need to. “ ____47____ a research culture where data is viewed as private preserve”. Funding agencies note that data paid for with public money should be public information, and the scientific community is recognizing that data can now be shared online in ways that were not possible before. To match the growing demand, services are springing up to make it easier to publish research products ____48____ and enable other researchers to discover and cite (引用) them.
Although calls to share data often concentrate on the ____49____ advantages of sharing, the practice is not purely beneficial to others. Researchers who share get plenty of personal benefits including more connections with colleagues, improved _____50_____ and increased citations. The most successful sharers- those whose data are downloaded and cited the most often-get noticed, and their work gets used. _____51_____. one of the most popular data sets on multidisciplinary repository Dryad is about wood density around the world; it has been _____52_____ 5700 times. Co-author Amy Zanne thinks that users probably range from climate-change researchers wanting to estimate how much carbon is stored in biomass, to foresters looking for information on different grades of trees. “I’d much prefer to have my date used by the _____53_____ number of people to as their own questions,” she says. “It’s important to allow readers and reviewers to see exactly how you arrive at your results. Publishing data and code allows your science to be _____54_____.”
Even people whose data are less popular can benefit. By making the effort to organize and label files so others can understand them, scientists can become more organized and better disciplined themselves, thus avoiding _____55_____ later on.

A
It was 1961 and I was in the fifth grade. My marks in school were miserable and, the thing was, I didn’t know enough to really care. My older brother and I lived with Mom in a humble house in Detroit. We watched TV every night.
But one day Mom changed our world forever. She turned off the TV. Our mother had only been able to get through third grade. But, she was much brighter and smarter than we boys know at the time. She had noticed something in the suburban houses she cleaned--books. So she came home one day, snapped off the TV, sat us down and explained that her sons were going to make something of themselves. “You boys are going to read two books every week,” she said. “And you’re going to write a report on what you read.”
We complained about how unfair was. Besides, we didn’t have any books in the house other than Mom’s Bible. But she explained that we would go where the books were: “I’ll drive you to the library.”
So pretty soon there were these two peevish boys sitting in her car on their way to Detroit Public Library, depressed and restless I wandered reluctantly among the children’s books. I loved animals, so when I saw some books that seemed to be about animals, I started leafing through them.
The first book I read clear through was Chip the Dam Builder. It was about beavers. For the first time in my life I was lost in another world. No television program had ever taken me so far away from my surroundings as did this verbal visit to a cold stream in a forest and these animals building a home.
It didn’t dawn on me at the time, but the experience was quite different from watching TV. There were images forming in my mind instead of before my eyes. And I could return to them again and again with the flip of a page. Soon I began to look forward to visiting this quiet refuge from my other world.
Now my older brother is an engineer and I am a doctor. Sometimes I still can’t believe my life’s journey from a failing and indifferent student in a Detroit public school to this position, which takes me all over the world to teach and perform critical surgery.
But I know when the journey began the day Mom snapped off the TV set and put us in he car for that drive to the library.
