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

11.
A. In multi-cultural countries. B. In developing countries.
C. In developed countries. D. In densely-populated countries.
12.
A. Lack of communication facilities. B. Temporary shelter.

13.
A. Features of different types of poverty. B. Approaches to poverty elimination.
C. Changes in three poverty categories. D. Ways to calculate the poverty line.
【答案】11. B 12. D 13. A
【解析】
Hello! Today I am going to talk about poverty, a critical issue in today’s world. One useful way to understand poverty is to distinguish between three degrees of poverty.
The first type of poverty is extreme poverty. In extreme poverty, households cannot meet basic needs for survival. People suffer from long-term hunger. They have no access to safe drinking water, let alone health care. They cannot afford education for their children. In short, people who live in extreme poverty do not have even the minimum resources to support themselves and their families. Then, where does extreme poverty occur? Well, you can find it only in developing countries.
Well, what about moderate poverty? Unlike extreme poverty, moderate poverty generally refers to rarely meeting the basic needs of life condition. People living in moderate poverty have the resources to keep themselves alive, but only at a very basic level. For example, they may have access to drinking water but not clean, safe drinking water. They may have a home to shelter themselves but it does not have power supply, or a telephone.
The third kind of poverty is relative poverty. Relative poverty is generally considered to be a household income level which is below a given proportion of average family income. The relatively poor live in high income countries but they do not have a high income themselves. The methods of calculating the poverty line vary from country to country, but we can say that basically the income of a family living in relative poverty is less than that of the average family. They can meet their basic needs but they lack access to cultural goods, and entertainment. They also do not have access to quality health care.
We should keep these distinctions in mind when we research people’s living conditions either in the developing or the developed world.
Questions:
Where does the speaker say we can find extreme poverty?
Which of the following features can be seen in relative poverty?
What does the speaker mainly talk about?

16.
A. It may improve teaching and offer more help.
B. It may allow students to get on well with each other.
C. It may distract students from being involved in class.
D. It may help students to better understand complex themes.
【答案】14. D 15. B 16. C
【解析】
Like many other people, I love my smartphone, which keeps me connected with the larger world. I also love my laptop, because it holds all of my writing and thoughts. However, I know there are times when I need to move away from these devices and truly communicate with others.
On occasion, I teach a course called History Matters to a group of higher education managers. My goals for the class include a full discussion of historical themes and ideas. Because I want students to thoroughly study the materials and exchange their ideas with each other in the classroom, I have a rule — no laptop, iPads, phones, etc. When students were told my rule in advance of the class, some of them were not happy.
Most students assume that my reasons for this rule include unpleasant experiences in the past with students misusing technology. There’s a bit of truth to that. Some students assume that I am anti-technology. There’s no truth in that at all. The real reason why I ask students to leave technology at the door is that I think there are very few places in which we can have deep conversations and truly engage complex ideas. Interruptions by technology often break concentration and allow for too much dependence on outside information for ideas. I want students to dig deep within themselves for inspiration and ideas.
I’ve been teaching my history class in this way for many years and the evaluations reflect student satisfaction with the environment that I create. Students realize that with deep conversation and challenge, they learn at a level that helps them keep the course materials beyond the classroom.
Questions:
Why were some of the students in the history class unhappy?
What can be learned from this passage?
What can be inferred from the passage about the use of technology in classrooms?

【答案】17. C 18. B 19. D 20. B
【解析】
W: Here’s your cup of coffee, Bob.
M: Thanks! But what took you so long, Catherine?
W: Sorry, Bob. I bumped into somebody I knew in the cafe and stopped for a chat.
M: OK, well. Catherine, did you know that coffee houses were originally a meeting place for lively debates and intellectual discussions?
W: Really? I didn’t know that, Bob. So how long ago was this debating society formed?
M: The first coffee house was set up in Oxford in 1650. But they quickly became popular and soon they were all over London too. You paid a penny to get in, and this included access to newspapers—and stimulating conversation!
W: But I have to say, while I was getting our coffees earlier, there was nobody else in the cafe talking except me and my friend. Everybody was sitting on their own, tapping away on their laptops. So the spirit of those 17th century coffee houses has disappeared then? No more lively debates and intellectual discussions?
M: It seems so. As Douglas Fraser, BBC Business and Economy Editor says, the coffee shop’s free Wi-Fi is transporting its customers to different destinations far from the person beside them. As you can see, so many people sit along plugged into their laptops—and they’re all doing different things—working, writing, messing about on social media.
W: I think the cafe owners should turn off the free Wi-Fi. I don’t think people should be allowed to sit all day using the Internet—occupying tables—and not talking to anybody! Especially when some of them don’t even buy a coffee!
M: That’s a bit extreme, Catherine. Cafe owners need customers—and they encourage people to stay by having comfortable sofas and newspapers to read and the free Wi-Fi!
W: I suppose you’re right.
Questions:
Why did it take Catherine a long time to bring back the coffee?
What can be learned about the earlier coffee house from this conversation?
What does Bob think of the idea of turning off the Wi-Fi?
How do the cafe owners attract customers?

Why Bike Theft Is Not Taken Seriously?
For many people a bicycle is the only transport they can afford and it is very convenient for them to use. Therefore, the impact of the loss of their bike can be ___31___. But why is cycle theft so often seen as a minor crime?

According to a survey for Bike Register, 50% of victims felt police didn’t investigate the crime, while those ___34___ in cycle theft see it as low risk in terms of being caught. Police recover just 3% of stolen bikes. In fact, the problem is almost certainly much greater: People often don’t report it thinking there’s nothing the police can do, so the full ___35___ of the problem remains hidden.
Cycle crime hotspots were identified as Cambridge, Oxford, Southampton, Bristol, etc. Most cycle thefts occur near or in people’s homes, but thieves also ___36___ transport hubs (中心，枢纽) and university campuses. In the meantime, the police have come up with a way to ___37___ the issue.

III. Reading Comprehension
Section A
Directions: 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.
Technology is playing a vital role in preservation and ecology research. Drones (无人机) hold huge ___41___ in the fight to save the world’s remaining wildlife from extinction. So researchers can now track wild animals through dense forests and monitor whales in vast oceans. It’s estimated that up to five living species become extinct every day, making it urgent that universities develop new technologies to capture the data that can persuade ___42___ to act.
The British International Education Association hosted a conference in January to ___43___ the importance of technological solutions in protecting vulnerable (易受伤害的) species and ecosystems. Speakers underlined how technology can help ___44___: drones can circle high above the ocean to spot whales, while certain cameras can identify members of an individual species.
According to Claudio Sillero, biology professor at Oxford University, technology is changing how preservation research is done — but it’s in a(n) ___45___ way. As technology gets better and cheaper, researchers become better at doing what they were already doing. ___46___, remote sensing used to be a very technical tool but is now widespread, and everyone uses global positioning system (GPS) for surveying.
But teaching preservation and ecology courses in university ___47___. Some teach drone surveying methods in depth while others don’t even mention them. “The fact is, using drones is quite a(n) ___48___ to the interdisciplinary (跨学科的) ‘unknown’ of engineering, and potentially an area where lecturers may not feel confident to teach yet,” Serge Wich, an expert in primate biology says. “Students are taught about ___49___ technologies such as automatic sound recorders, but drones are often missing from university teaching. Consequently, drone use among researchers is still fairly ____50____ and focused on getting photos.”
Wich’s team of researchers used techniques to develop a fully automated drone technology system that ____51____ and monitors the health of endangered animals globally. It’s designed to be cheap, stable and simple to use, so that local communities in developing countries can operate it ____52____ without technical background. Yet it’s not more widely used on the grounds of researchers’ lack of skills to use this technology. In biology, where drones are used, few can program an algorithm (算法) specifically for their preservation or research problem. “There’s much that needs to be done to ____53____ those two worlds and to make AI more user-friendly so that people who can’t program can still use the technology,” Wich says.
____54____, the sad truth is that better technology alone will not save any more species from dying out, Greengrass warns. “As human populations increase, so do threats and pressure on wild places. Preservationists are ____55____ for not doing enough but it’s often an issue of people, conflict and governance.” Technology may help provide far greater knowledge, but governments still need to act.

42. A. researchers B. authorities C. opponents D. professionals
43. A. highlight B. overlook C. assess D. calculate

Section B
Directions: Read the following three passages. Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.
(A)
A Different Kind of Spring Break
For many American university students, the week-long spring break holiday means an endless part on a sunny beach in Florida or Mexico. In Panama City Beach, Florida, a city with a permanent population of approximately 36,000, more than half a million university students arrive during the month of March to play and party, making it the number one spring break destination in the United States.
A week-long drinking binge is not for everyone, however, and a growing number of American university students have found a way to make spring break matter. For them, joining or leading a group of volunteers to travel locally or internationally and work to address problems such as poverty, homelessness, or environmental damage makes spring break a unique learning experience that university students can feel good at.
During one spring break week, students at James Madison University in Virginia participated in 15 “alternative spring break” trips to nearby states, three others to more distant parts of the United States, and five international trips. One group of JMU students traveled to Bogalusa, Louisiana, to help rebuild homes damaged by Hurricane Katrina. Another group traveled to Mississippi to organize creative activities for children living in a homeless shelter. One group of students did go to Florida, but not to lie on the sand. They performed exhausting physical labor such as maintaining roving invasive plant species that threaten the native Florida ecosystem.
Students who participate in alternative spring break projects find them very rewarding. While most university students have to get their degrees before they can start helping people, student volunteers are able to help people now. On the other hand, the accommodations are far from glamorous. Students often sleep on the floor of a school or church, or spend the week camping in tents. But students only pay around $250 for meals and transportation, which is much less than some of their peers spend to travel to more traditional spring break hot spot.
56. How many university students travel to Panama Beach City every March for spring break?
A. Around 36,000. B. Around 50,000.
C. Around 500,000. D. Around 10,000.
57. The underlined word “binge” in paragraph 2 probably means ______.
A. doing too much of something B. studying for too long
C. refusing to do something D. having very little alcohol
58. Which of the following gives the main idea of the third paragraph?
A. One group of JMU students worked on homes damaged by a hurricane.
B. Children living in homeless shelters enjoy creative activities.
C. Some students work to help the environment on alternative spring break trips.
D. University students do different types of work on alternative spring break trips.
59. What is implied in this article is that ______.
A. university students spend more than $250 for traditional spring break trips
B. university students complain about the accommodations on alternative spring break trips
C. university students may take fewer alternative spring break trips in the future
D. university students would prefer to wait until they have their degrees to start helping people
【答案】56. C 57. A 58. D 59. A

(C)
Why do so many Americans distrust what they read in their newspapers? The American Society of Newspaper Editors is trying to answer this painful question. The organization is deep into a long self-analysis known as the journalism credibility project.
Sad to say, this project has turned out to be mostly low-level findings about factual errors and spelling and grammar mistakes, combined with lots of head-scratching puzzlement about what in the world those readers really want.
But the sources of distrust go way deeper. Most journalists learn to see the world through a set of standard patterns into which they report each day’s events. In other words, there is a traditional story line in the newsroom culture that provides a backbone and a ready-made narrative structure for otherwise confusing news.
There exists a social and cultural disconnect between journalists and their readers, which helps explain why the “standard patterns” of the newsroom seem foreign to many readers. In a recent survey, questionnaires were sent to reporters in five middle-size cities around the country, plus one large metropolitan area. Then residents in these communities were phoned at random and asked the same questions.
Replies show that compared with other Americans, journalists are more likely to live in upscale neighborhoods, have maids, own Mercedeses, and trade stocks, and they’re less likely to go to church, do volunteer work, or put down roots in a community.
Reporters tend to be part of a broadly defined social and cultural elite (精英), so their work tends to reflect the traditional values of this elite. The alarming distrust of the news media isn’t rooted in inaccuracy or poor reportorial skills but in the daily conflict of world views between reporters and their readers.
This is an explosive situation for any industry, particularly a declining one. Here is a troubled business that keeps hiring employees whose attitudes vastly annoy the customers. Then it sponsors lots of symposiums (讨论会) and a credibility project devoted to wondering why customers are annoyed and fleeing in large numbers. But it never seems to get around to noticing the cultural and class prejudices that so many former buyers are complaining about. If it did, it would open up its diversity program, now focused narrowly on race and gender, and look for reporters who differ broadly by outlook, values, education, and class.
63. What is the passage mainly about?
A. Needs of the readers all over the world.
B. Causes of the public disappointment about newspapers.
C. Origins of the declining newspaper industry.
D. Aims of a journalism credibility project.
64. The results of the journalism credibility project turned out to be ______.
A. quite trustworthy B. somewhat conflicting
C. very informative D. rather shallow
65. The basic problem of journalists as pointed out by the writer lies in their ______.
A. working attitude B. traditional lifestyle
C. world outlook D. educational background
66. Despite its efforts, the newspaper industry still cannot satisfy the readers owing to its ______.
A. failure to realize its real problem B. tendency to hire annoying reporters
C. likeliness to do inaccurate reporting D. prejudice in matters of race and gender
【答案】63. B 64. D 65. C 66. A
【解析】

本文属于议论文，为了解释为什么大众不信任报纸信息，专门做了一个叫新闻可信度项目，结果却是相当得肤浅，大众对报刊的不信任不在于单词拼写错误，语法不对，而是新闻记者和普通读者之间世界观的冲突。
【63题详解】
主旨大意题。本文主要讲述，为了解释为什么大众不信任报纸信息，专门做了一个叫新闻可信度项目，结果却是相当得肤浅，大众对报刊的不信任不在于单词拼写错误，语法不对，而是新闻记者和普通读者之间世界观的冲突，因此本文解释了大众不信任报纸的原因，故选B。
【64题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段Sad to say, this project has turned out to be mostly low-level findings about factual errors and spelling and grammar mistakes,可知，很悲伤的是，这个项目结果却是很多肤浅的发现，比如事实性的错误，单词拼写和语法错误等，因此可知，作者对这个项目的结果很失望，觉得发现很肤浅，故选D。
【65题详解】
细节理解题。根据倒数第二段The alarming distrust of the news media isn’t rooted in inaccuracy or poor reportorial skills but in the daily conflict of world views between reporters and their readers.可知，对新闻媒体不信任不在于信息的不准确和匮乏，而是记者和读者之间世界观的冲突，，故选C。
66题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段But it never seems to get around to noticing the cultural and class prejudices that so many former buyers are complaining about.可知，新闻媒体似乎没有抽出时间去关注文化和阶级的偏见，而这些问题是之前很多读者就一直在抱怨的，故可知，报刊行业依然没有让人满意在于没有认真去关注问题，故选A。
【点睛】主旨大意题的做题技巧。
1) 主旨大意题属于归纳概括题。如有标题，标题中蕴含的信息往往是关键信息。
2) 找准文章的主题句是关键。“主题句定位法”是一种行之有效的方法。在答题时，我们可以：读首句抓大意；读尾句抓大意；读首尾段抓大意。
3.) 无明显主题句时高频信息词，任一篇文章都是围绕某个主题展开的，因此，有的文章中最明显的特点之一是有一个反复出现的中心词，即高频词，也叫做主题词。抓住了它，便容易抓住文章的中心。
比如小题1，本文主要讲述，为了解释为什么大众不信任报纸信息，专门做了一个叫新闻可信度项目，结果却是相当得肤浅，大众对报刊的不信任不在于单词拼写错误，语法不对，而是新闻记者和普通读者之间世界观的冲突，因此本文解释了大众不信任报纸的原因，故选B。

Section C
Directions: Read the passage carefully. Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box. Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need.
If you shower before bed, you’ve probably wondered whether sleeping with damp hair is a problem. Maybe you’ve heard it could make you sick, or that it can damage your hair or skin.
What’s the truth? Let’s address the “it can make you sick” myth first. “___67___” says Dr. William Schaffner, a professor of medicine. While this idea persists, Schaffner says it was long ago disproved. It’s true that you’re much more likely to catch a common cold during the winter months. But this has to do with the ways respiratory (呼吸的) viruses spread, he says.
___68___ Illness-causing bacteria and viruses don’t appear naturally, and so you’re not going to make yourself ill by getting your pillow a little damp at night, Schaffner says. But there is a possible exception. Some research has shown that pillows—especially those made with synthetic materials—can contain asthma- or allergy-triggering molds (哮喘或致敏菌) and fungus, which tend to do well in damp environments, and so do dust mites, says Dr. Payel Gupta, a spokesperson for the American Lung Association.
Gupta says there’s no evidence that people who sleep with wet hair experience more allergy or asthma symptoms. ___69___ But if you wake up with a stuffy nose, itchy or watery eyes, breathing problems or other allergy or asthma symptoms—or even if you don’t—you should wash your pillow cases and sheets in hot water at least once a week to reduce your exposure to any potential irritants (刺激物).
When it comes to the health of your hair and skin, there may be a few other reasons to worry about wet hair. “Generally, it’s thought not to be good for hair to sleep with it wet,” says Dr. George Cotsarelis, a professor of dermatology (皮肤病学), “___70___”
It’s also worth noting that almost anything you do to your hair—from brushing and blow-drying it to coloring it or exposing it to the sun—can damage it.
A. Hence, any concerns about wet hair are theoretical.
B. In some cases, wet hair may actually be a helpful sleep aid.
C. Over time, it can lead to breakages, as well as a loss of shine.
D. There may be some mild risks associated with going to bed with wet hair.
E. Another wet-hair rumor (谣传) is the idea that harmful bacteria will colonize your pillow.
F. This idea seems to fit into the old bit of custom that getting yourself chilled and wet will cause you to come down with a cold.
【答案】67. F 68. E
69. A 70. C
【解析】
本文属于说明文，介绍人们普遍认为湿着头发睡觉不利于健康，但是毫无科学依据，但湿头发睡觉对头发有不利影响。
【67题详解】
根据后一句While this idea persists, Schaffner says it was long ago disproved.可知，尽管这个观点仍然存在，但是很久之前就被证明是错误的，F选项，这个观点似乎和旧的观念相融合，这一观念认为感受到冷和湿润很可能会感冒，承接下文，切题，故选F。
【68题详解】
根据后一句Illness-causing bacteria and viruses don’t appear naturally, and so you’re not going to make yourself ill by getting your pillow a little damp at night, Schaffner says.可知，致病病菌不会自然出现，因此，不用因为打湿了一点枕头就觉得会感冒，E选项，关于湿头发的谣言就是细菌会占满你的枕头，后文对这个观点进行了反驳，切题，故选E。
【69题详解】
根据前一句Gupta says there’s no evidence that people who sleep with wet hair experience more allergy or asthma symptoms可知，没有证据表明因为湿头发睡觉更有可能过敏或者风湿症状，A选项,因此，任何关于湿头发的担忧都是理论上的，没有实际意义，开启下文，切题，故选A。
【70题详解】
根据前一句Generally, it’s thought not to be good for hair to sleep with it wet可知，一般说来，湿头发睡觉对头发不好，C选项，长时间这样的话，头发容易断，无光泽，承接上文，切题，故选C。

IV. Summary Writing
71.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.
What comes first: the optimism or the good health?
Optimism, defined as the general expectation that the future will be favorable, could provide ways to improve health, some researchers believe. But scientists remain unsure if optimism goes ahead of health improvements, or vice versa.
A recent study suggests that most people can’t help but to think optimistically. This study was conducted by Ed O’Brien, a social psychologist at the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor. The findings suggest that people have a natural tendency to think positively about their future.
Participants were asked to create a list of imaginary personal experiences that would make them happy or unhappy over the course of the next year. They then ranked how difficult it was to plan that list and how happy they believed they would be in the future overall. The easier it was for people to think of positive future experiences, the happier they imagined they would be. However, there was no relationship between easily developing negative future experiences and expecting to be unhappy as a result.
O’Brien concluded that people seem to discount the possibility that future negative events will make them happy overall, suggesting that optimism might come more naturally. “We’re not as used to thinking about the future in terms of things that are going to go wrong.” O’Brien’s study is one of many to find that people are consistently optimistic about their future, predicting pleasant experiences and discounting unpleasant ones. If optimism may lead to better health and people generally tend to think optimistically, what does this mean for the connection between mental and physical health? “If we can make sure that optimism comes before healthy states, we might be able to involve and improve people’s optimism,” Boehm explained. However, it’s difficult to determine what comes first: the optimism or the good health.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】Despite the claim that optimism benefits fitness, scientists are uncertain. O’Brien’s study indicates it’s human nature to expect a promising future. For instance, those with positive future plans were more likely to achieve happiness, yet those having/with negative ones didn’t expect unhappiness. Above all, optimism may not necessarily precede good health.
【解析】
【分析】
本文属于说明文，科学家想知道是乐观在先还是健康在先，但是研究发现，期待一个好的未来是人的本能，比如，有着积极的未来计划的人更可能获得幸福感，而持有悲观计划的人不一定不开心，总之，乐观主义不一定意味着健康。
【详解】分析文章可知，本文结构为总分结构，首先第一个要点，乐观主义对健康有好处，但是科学家不确定；第二个要点，期望有个好的未来是人的天性；第三个要点，有着积极的未来计划的人更可能获得幸福感，而持悲观计划的人不一定就不开心；第四个要点，得出结论，乐观主义不一定先于健康。把这四个要点联系起来，注意前后文的过渡与衔接，同时注意字数。
【点睛】概要写作做题技巧。概要写作不是对段落大意的简单堆积，需要学生读懂文章的大概意思和文章结构，还需要一定写作替换技巧，且注意语言的简洁性。分析文章可知，本文结构为总分结构，首先第一个要点，乐观主义对健康有好处，但是科学家不确定；第二个要点，期望有好的未来是人的天性；第三个要点，有着积极的未来计划的人更可能获得幸福感，而持悲观计划的人不一定就不开心；第四个要点，得出结论，乐观主义不一定先于健康。把这四个要点联系起来，注意前后文的过渡与衔接，同时注意字数。

【答案】As is shown in the picture, with the popularity of Internet, more and more people rely on the Internet and smart mobile phones, which cause many to flood into the places with free WIFI, while the public library is seldom visited by them.
So, how does it happen? Firstly, with the help of information technology, we can look through different kinds of information on our gadgets, text, pictures, videos and something like that. So it is very easy to spend too much time and energy on it without noticing it. What’s more, more and more mobile phone users take advantage of their smart equipment to read and study, which means they can read and study anywhere and anytime.
However, the knowledge from the mobile gadgets is trivial, but the systematic knowledge contributes to our better understanding of something. All in all, we can’t ignore the power of library more.
