Sectin B
Directins: Read the fllwing three passages. Each passage is fllwed by several questins r unfinished statements. Fr each f them there are fur chices marked A, B, C and D. Chse the ne that fits best accrding t the infrmatin given in the passage yu have just read.
(A)
“The main surprise is hw widespread the effects were,” says senir authr Martin Genner, an evlutinary eclgist at the University f Bristl. “We fund the same trend acrss all grups f marine life we lked at, frm small frms f plants and animals t marine invertebrates (无脊椎动物), and frm fish t seabirds.”
The new study builds n early evidence f the impact f climate changes n the distributin, diversity and seasnality f marine species. Based n thse findings, Genner’s team reasned that marine species shuld be ding well at the leading (ple-ward) edge f their ranges but prly at their trailing (equatr-ward) side. They als realized that existing glbal species distributin databases culd be used t test this idea.
Based n a thrugh search f available data in the literature, the researchers nw reprt n a glbal analysis f diversity trends fr 304 widely distributed marine species ver the last century. The results shw that — just as predicted — diversity increases have been mst bvius where sampling has taken place at the ple-ward side f species ranges, while diversity declines have been greatest where sampling has taken place at the equatr-ward side f species ranges.
The findings shw that large-scale changes in the diversity f species are well underway. They als suggest that marine species haven’t managed t adapt t warmer cnditins. The researchers therefre suggest that prjected sea temperature increases f up t 1.5°C ver pre-industrial levels by 2050 will cntinue t lead t shifts in the diversity f marine species, including thse f imprtance fr castal livelihds.
“This matters because it means that climate changes are nt nly leading t diversity changes, but naturally affecting the perfrmance f species lcally,” Genner says. “We’re seeing fewer and fewer species like emperr penguins as water becmes t warm at their equatr-ward edge, and we see sme fish such as Eurpean seabass grwing well at their ple-ward edge where histrically they were uncmmn.”
The results shw that the effects f climate changes n marine species are highly unifrm and nt a little. “While sme marine life may benefit as the cean warms, the findings pint tward a future in which we will als see cntinued lss f marine life,” Genner says.
56. Accrding t the passage, what did Genner’s team cnclude?
A. Climate changes have a great effect n the grwth f fish.
B. Species data can be used t test the study.
C. Arctic marine species grw better than thse at the equatr.
D. Marine species can adapt t the warm envirnment.
57. Which f the fllwing is true accrding t the passage?
A. Sme sea creatures may benefit frm warming ceans.
B. Climate Changes have little t d with the richness f species.
C. The effect f climate changes n marine life has imprved.
D. Marine life will benefit frm cean warming in the future.
58. What des the underlined part f the last paragraph mean?
A. similar and slightB. nwhere and a little bit
C. everywhere and enrmusD. nthing and uneventful
59. Which f the fllwing might be the best title f the passage?
A. Study f the Disappearance f Marine life.
B. Impact f Climate Changes n Marine Species.
C. Analysis f Species Distributin Database.
D. Cmparative Analysis f Ocean Temperatures.

The Victrians’ Way f Having Fun
Whether it was visiting a human z, taking a bull n a ht-air balln ride, r singing beautiful sngs, Victrian Lndners lved t have fun. As perfrmance managers came up with increasingly well-designed ways t make mney frm the capital’s huge ptential audience, Victrians effectively invented the mdern leisure industry – including theme parks, pubs and prfessinal ftball. As a new bk by histrian Lee Jacksn explains, the hunt fr prfit invlves surrunding mrality, class and empire. S where did Victrians g fr fun? And what still exists tday?
Dancing Rms: Argyll Rms, Piccadilly
It’s nw a building site near Leicester Square, but when the Argyll Rms lst its licence in 1878, there was a rit (暴乱). Drunken students were s angry at the clsure f their favurite place that they tk t the streets. The Argyll clsed as the dance craze came t an end, and Bignell turned the space int the Trcader music hall. It kept that name thrugh the 20th century when it was transfrmed int ne f Lndn’s mst tasteless turist attractins. The site currently awaits develpment int a htel.
Pleasure gardens: Gremrne Gardens, Chelsea
Gremrne was run by three West End pub wners, ppular amng the yung peple then. It clsed in 1877 after lsing its licence. Pleasure gardens mre generally lst their meaning f existence with the establishment f public parks. Lndn’s rapid grwth meant the valuable land was usually sld t big cmpanies fr ther purpses, which is why s little f Lndn’s great pleasure gardens remain.
Pleasure gardens were als vershadwed by larger exhibitin grunds such as the Crystal Palace, which tried t find a way f balancing entertainment with cultural educatin. Little physically remains f the Crystal Palace itself, which mved t Sydenham frm Hyde Park in 1854, but the grand 200-acre grunds still exist as a public park.
On the site f the Methdist Central Hall was a shrt-lived attractin that attempted t transprt the seaside t central Lndn. It was railways that made Margate and Suthend accessible t Lndners, and sme f the leisure activities peculiar t the seaside sn made it back t the capital.
Ftball grunds: Craven Cttage, Stevenage Rad, Fulham
Fulham FC, Lndn’s ldest prfessinal ftball club, still wrks at their first grund, built by the Victrians in 1896. Versins f the sprt had been arund fr centuries, but it was the Victrians wh created the game and then prfessinalized it. This led t enclsed grunds where spectatrs paid fr admittance, with the incme spent n acquiring new players. The mdern game was brn.
63. Which f the fllwing is nt similar in meaning t “tk t the streets” in Para. 2?
A. gathered tgether in the streetsB. enjyed windw shpping
C. went utside n the streetsD. prtested n the streets
64. The reasn why fewer great pleasure gardens are left in Lndn is that .
A. peple built mre factriesB. they were turned int farming land
C. the land was sld t develpersD. they became university campuses
65. What can be inferred frm the last paragraph?
A. The mney frm ftball is used t buy new players.
B. Lndn has much n its ftball histry.
C. Fulham F.C. is mre than 200 years ld.
D. The Victrians have cultivated many ftballers.
66. Which f the fllwing is the main idea f this passage?
A. The building f railways led t the theme parks.
B. The West End’s gardens became big htels.
C. The Victrians largely invented mdern leisure industries.
D. The incme frm mdern ftball supprts new players.

C. If yu dn’t wn a camera, yu can buy ne r brrw ne frm thers.
D. Fr new reprters, this can seem like a challenging task.
E. With a questin like this, yu will get mre than a “Yes” r “N” reply.
F. That number f interviews shuld give yu all the answers yu need.
The Art f Man-n-the-Street Interviews
Have yu ever bserved the busy peple f the street? D they aruse yur infinite thinking? The man-n-the-street interview may becme a ppular wrd because it is new. The man-n-the-street interview is an interview in which a reprter hits the streets with a cameraman t interview peple n the spt. (67) ______________ But with these tips, yur first man-n-the-street interview experience can be easy.
When yur bss r prfessr sends yu ut t d man-n-the-street interviews fr a stry, think abut the tpic and develp a list f abut ten general questins relating t it. Fr example, if yur tpic is abut envirnmental prblems in America, yu might ask, “Why d yu think envirnmental prtectin is imprtant in America?” (68) ______________
Hit the streets with cnfidence. As yu apprach peple, be plite. Say, “Excuse me, I wrk fr a certain well-knwn TV r radi statin, and I was wndering if yu culd share yur pinin abut this tpic.” This is a quick way t get peple t warm up t yu.
(69) ______________ If smene tells yu she is nt interested, mve n t the next persn. Keep in mind that nt everyne wants t be interviewed, s dn’t get hung up n it.
Limit yur time. Each interview that yu get n the street shuldn’t be lnger than ten minutes. As sn as yu get the answer yu need, mve n t the next persn. Make sure that as yu g frm interview t interview, yu are getting a variety f answers. A safe number f interviews t cnduct is abut six t ten. (70) ______________
Fr the media, the ability t increase ratings and influence may be the nly meaning they want. In fact, different peple have different views twards the interview. Smene says this shuld be the prduct f the fast-fd infrmatin age.

Hw t Prtect Yur Persnal Privacy Online?
Cyber crimes are nw part f tday’s digital era, affecting peple’s lives prfessinally as well as persnally. It is annying but true that yu d nt actually have abslute cntrl ver wh might be watching yu nline. Mre than ever, gvernment agencies have fcused n fighting against illegal surveillance (监控) prgrams, raising cncerns abut prtecting nline privacy. Here are sme suggestins fr yu t fllw.
Evaluating yur nline activities is the mst crucial task twards prtecting yur nline privacy. Yu need t assess what persnal r private data yu are string r sharing n yur cmputer/mbile devices r nline platfrms. It is imprtant t identify the value f yur infrmatin and analyze the risks such as: hw safe is yur data ffline r nline? What happens if yur persnal data gets leaked? These are sme basic questins s that yu can take necessary steps t slve yur nline privacy issues.
Everything yu d cmes ut nce yu g nline. Yur data is being misused by sme advertisers and nline marketers. Sme illegal prgrams make yur system threatened, invade yur privacy and steal yur cnfidential infrmatin. S, installing genuine and latest anti-virus sftware is critically imprtant t prtect yur devices frm such threats. That is t use riginal r latest anti-virus sftware, brwsers, etc. Als, stay up-t-date with the current tls, methds and technlgy. Yu can reduce the risks by becming mre educated n the leading tls, and methds available in the digital wrld. Yu shuld learn and fllw the security rules and pay attentin t the infrmatin yu share n scial netwrking sites.
T prevent unauthrized access t yur system, yu shuld chse a strng passwrd string that will never be easy fr hackers t get. That is t enfrce a strng passwrd. And d nt use ne cmmn passwrd fr multiple services because if ne service is brken, yu’ll lse cntrl f the thers. Tny, a security sftware maker, suggests that cnsumers shuld use different email addresses fr different purpses s that hackers cannt match an email stlen frm a website t ne frm a bank.

Sectin B
Directins: In Sectin B, yu will hear tw shrt passages and ne lnger cnversatin, and yu will be asked several questins n each f the passages and the cnversatin. The passages and the cnversatin will be read twice, but the questins will be spken nly nce. When yu hear a questin, read the fur pssible answers n yur paper and decide which ne wuld be the best answer t the questin yu have heard.
Questins 11 thrugh 13 are based n the fllwing passage.
Nw here is the reprt frm the researchers at a university in Germany. They said eating a big breakfast culd help yu burn much mre calries than if yu eat a larger meal at dinner. It culd be the key t lsing weight while als keeping bld sugar levels steady, the researchers said. It was shwn t be twice as high fr thse wh ate mre at breakfast than at dinner. On the ther hand, a lw-calrie breakfast increases appetite, especially fr sweets, they admitted.
The fllwing wrds are frm the interview with Dr. Richter, an expert at the university. He said the findings published in a jurnal were based n a labratry experiment f 16 men. They cnsumed a lw and high calrie breakfast and dinner ne day—and then vice versa n anther. The results als shwed eating a lw-calrie breakfast caused sweet desires with a higher appetite. This suggests thse saving all their calries fr the end f the day may face cnsequences because they snack mre. This finding is significant fr all the peple as it underlines the value f eating enugh at breakfast. The study adds t increasing evidence that the best way f lsing weight is t eat yur largest meal in the mrning—and yur smallest in the evening. As Dr Richter indicates, “Eating mre at breakfast instead f dinner culd prevent being fat and high bld sugar.”
He als recmmended that fat patients as well as healthy peple shuld eat a large breakfast rather than a large dinner t reduce bdy weight. A 2017 study f 60,000 adults fund that eating a big breakfast, medium lunch and small dinner led t lwer bdy mass indexes.

Mandarin, the fficial language fr China, culd be taught in Welsh secndary schls in rder t raise Wales’ internatinal image. The Welsh Gvernment wants t establish the cuntry as a visitr destinatin fr Chinese peple as part f its new strategy t imprve trade. It is als lking t have a “Wales in Germany” themed year in 2021, and have an increased presence in EU cuntries.
Internatinal relatins minister Mrgan said she wanted t sell Wales t the wrld. Welsh businesses sld mre than 17 billin punds f gds abrad in 2018 and at present 60% f thse exprts g t the EU, with Germany as the tp destinatin.
But after Britain left the Eurpean Unin, ministers want “t ensure that the Eurpean Unin remains ur strngest partner” as well as develping markets elsewhere. Its gal is a 5% increase in exprts. T make that happen, the Welsh Gvernment has launched a new internatinal strategy t fcus n three areas—cyber-security, semi-cnductrs, and creative industries, because f their glbal recgnitin as areas f excellence.
In its reprt, it als listed a number f ideas, including: raising Wales’ image by explring the feasibility f teaching Mandarin in secndary schls; wrking with educatin institutins t increase the number f internatinal students studying in Wales; hlding a “Wales in Germany” themed year in 2021; wrking with existing netwrks t build a glbal scial netwrk f 500,000 peple.
