[1] While firefighters focused on one comer of the building, the blaze burned heavier on a second Comer, spreading to the Second floor. Two helicopters scooped water from the nearby Nile River in small buckets and dumped it onto the blaze. [2] Evacuated employees said authorities told them they had ruled out terrorism and that an electrical short-circuits had likely sparked the fire. Those hospitalized included parliament employees and firefighters, said Ahmad Salah, the fire operations supervisor. The extent of damage was not immediately known.

It said global warming is undeniable and that the world can expect to feel the effects for centuries to come. The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change released the report in Pairs at a conference of climate experts. Representatives of more than 100 governments agreed on the findings. This is the most detailed scientific report to date on global warming and the influence of fossil fuel burning and other human activities. 1] The scientists say there is greater than a 90% chance that greenhouse gases are the main cause of rising temperatures and sea levels. The report also links global warming to other changes including increased dryness in some areas and violent storm patterns. The UN panel released its last climate change report 6 years ago. [2] The scientists say the new report is based on studies done since then and stronger agreement on global warming. The new report makes no policy proposals, but the aim is to press governments and industries to cut the release of carbon dioxide and other gases blamed for trapping heat. [考点] 本题考查细节信息(题干的核心词是main cause。 [精析] 新闻提到，科学家认为温室气体是气温上升和海平面上升的主要原因， 模考吧网提供最优质的模拟试题，最全的历年真题，最精准的预测押题～ 我们一直在努力做得更好～ 更多各种资格考试历年真题请访问 www.mokaoba.com 有超过90%的可能是这样。而气温上升和海平面上升就是全球变暖的表现，由此可以推出，全球变暖的主要原因就是温室气体。故选B。 第10题 The news item implies that ______ in the last report. A there were fewer studies done B there were fewer policy proposals C there was less agreement D there were fewer objectives 【正确答案】:C 【本题分数】:1.0分 【答案解析】 [考点] 本题的设题点在新闻的结尾处 [精析] 新闻提到，科学家说新的报告是以自上一次报告发布后所进行的研究为基础的，并且这次报告在全球变暖问题上达成了更多共识。新的报告有更多的共识，可知上一次报告的共识则较少，故选C。在研究的数量、政策提议和目标问题这几个方面新闻并没有给出比较。 第11题 The cause of the Indian train accident was ______. A terrorist sabotage B yet to be determined C lack of communications D bad weather 【正确答案】:B 【本题分数】:1.0分 【答案解析】 模考吧网提供最优质的模拟试题，最全的历年真题，最精准的预测押题～ 我们一直在努力做得更好～ 更多各种资格考试历年真题请访问 www.mokaoba.com [听力原文] At least 80 people have died in a derailment of a luxury train in eastern India, [1] which some government officials say could have been caused by terrorist sabotage. An investigation has been ordered to identify the cause of the accident. There were nearly 600 passengers and staff on board the train. It was going from the eastern city Calcutta to New Delhi when it was wrecked late Monday night. [2] The train derailed as it was crossing a bridge over the Davie River, near Rafen Gange Station in the eastern Bihar State. One of the coaches sank in the river, at least two others hung precariously from the bridge. Several others left the tracks. The accident occurred in a remote area with poor telecommunication links. Many victims remained trapped in the wreckage through the night before they were rescued. A spokesman for Eastern Railway says rescue operations were slowed down by bad weather, but are now fully under way. [考点] 本题考查新闻事件发生的原因。 [精析] 新闻提到，一些政府官员称事故可能是由恐怖分子的破坏活动引起的， 相关部门已派人对事故发生的原因进行调查。由此可以看出，恐怖分子的破坏只 是政府官员的推测，真正的原因还在调查当中，尚无法确定，故选B。 第12题 Which of the following statements is CORRECT? A The accident occurred on a bridge. B The accident occurred in New Delhi. C There were about 600 casualties.

A a US government archives warehouse B a NASA ground tracking station C the Goddard Space Flight Centre D none of the above places 【正确答案】:C 【本题分数】:1.0分 【答案解析】 [听力原文] Much of the world was watching on television when the commander of the Apollo-11 mission, Neil Armstrong, took the first steps on the moon in July 1969. [1] The pictures of that historic footstep and everything else about that and subsequent Apollo moon landings were recorded on magnetic tapes at three NASA ground tracking stations around the world. The tapes were then shipped to a NASA operations centre near Washington, the Goddard Space Flight Centre. In late 1969, the space agency began transferring them and tens of thousands of tapes from other space missions to a nearby US government archives warehouse. NASA says it asked for them back in the 1970s, but now does not know where they are. "I probably am overly sensitive to the word 'lost'. I did not feel they are lost, " said [2] Richard Nafzger, a Goddard Space Flight Centre engineer who was in charge of television processing from all of NASA's ground receiving sites. The space agency has authorized him to set aside his other duties for the foreseeable future and devote his time to the hunt for the tapes. Nafzger says they are stored somewhere. [考点] 本题的设题点在专有名词处。 [精析] 新闻提到，阿波罗11号和之后的阿波罗登月的图片和其他都录制在 了美国航空航天局的三个地面追踪站的磁带里，而B选项说的是在一个地面追踪 站里，故不正确。之后新闻又指出，这些资料后来都统一转移到了距华盛顿不远 的美国航空航天局控制中心——戈达德航空飞行中心。由此我们可以得出，阿波 罗11号的磁带资料最开始是储存在戈达德航空飞行中心的，故选C。 第14题 What does the news item say about Richard Nafzger? 模考吧网提供最优质的模拟试题，最全的历年真题，最精准的预测押题～ 我们一直在努力做得更好～ 更多各种资格考试历年真题请访问 www.mokaoba.com A He is assigned the task to look for the tapes. B He believes that the tapes are probably lost. C He works in a NASA ground receiving site. D He had asked for the tapes in the 1970s. 【正确答案】:A 【本题分数】:1.0分 【答案解析】 [考点] 本题考查新闻人物及其事迹。 [精析] 新闻最后提到，Richard Nafzger是戈达德航空飞行中心的工程师，因 此他应是在戈达德航空飞行中心工作，故排除C。之后新闻又提到美国航空航天 局授权他暂时放下手头的工作，专心去寻找这些磁带，他自己认为这些磁带一定 是储藏在什么地方的，故排除B，确定答案为A。选项D中提到的是美国航空航 天局的行为，并不是Richard Nafzger的行为，故也可排除。 第15题 The example in the news item is cited mainly to show ______. A that doctors are sometimes professionally incompetent B that in cases like that hospitals have to pay huge compensations C that language barriers might lower the quality of treatment D that language barriers can result in fatal consequences 【正确答案】:D 【本题分数】:1.0分 【答案解析】 [听力原文] More than 22 million people who live in the United States don't speak or understand English very well.

"He was in the hospital basically for two days being worked up for drug abuse," Flores says. "They finally did a head CT scan and realized he had had a major bleed into his brain. He ended up being paralyzed and he got a $71 million settlement award from the hospital." Dr. Flores, a professor at the Medical College of Wisconsin says that despite examples like that, the majority of US health care facilities still do not have trained interpreters on site. [2] But he acknowledges that increasing numbers of health care workers are bilingual, and that more clinics and hospitals do make sure their staff and patients understand each other. [考点] 本题考查新闻事件中个例的作用。 [精析] 新闻提到，弗洛里斯博士强调了一些由于语言障碍妨碍病人和医疗服务 人员之间正常交流而导致严重后果的案例，随后弗洛里斯博士回忆了一名说英语 的医生误诊一位说西班牙语的病人而致其瘫痪的案例。由此可以看出新闻中列出 这一案例的目的是为了证明语言障碍可导致致命的后果，故选D。 第16题 According to Dr. Flores, hospitals and clinics ______. A have seen the need for hiring trained interpreters B have realized the problems of language barriers C have begun training their staff to be bilinguals D have taken steps to provide accurate diagnosis 【正确答案】:B 【本题分数】:1.0分 【答案解析】 [考点] 本题的设题点在新闻的结尾处。 [精析] 新闻提到，弗洛里斯博士说，现在越来越多的医护人员都是双语的，越 来越多的诊所和医院也努力确保他们的医护人员与病人间能更好地交流。由此我 们只能看出诊所和医院意识到了语言障碍这个问题，并不能看出医院和诊所意识 到雇佣经过训练的口译员的必要、开始培训双语员工和采取措施确保更准确地诊 断，故选B。 第17题 模考吧网提供最优质的模拟试题，最全的历年真题，最精准的预测押题～ 我们一直在努力做得更好～ 更多各种资格考试历年真题请访问 www.mokaoba.com Which of the following was NOT on the agenda of the G20 meeting?

Possible sanctions were not outlined at the meeting. In a declaration released at the end of the meeting, ministers called on World Trade Organization (WTO) members to restart the trade talks that collapsed in Cancun last month. "Nations must quickly re-energize the negotiation process, recognizing that flexibility and political will from all are urgently needed," it said. G20 ministers also talked about the possibility of creating a "voluntary code of conduct" to govern negotiations between creditors and countries on the verge of defaulting on debt. The code would outline the steps that should be taken to prevent a financial crisis. Created in 1999 to avoid financial disasters and to keep the global economy stable, [2] the G20 is made up of the European Union and 19 other countries including Australia, Brazil, China, Japan and the US. [考点] 本题的设题点在新闻的导语处。 [精析] 新闻提到，经过两天的会议，周一上午位居世界前20的经济体承诺帮助 伊拉克减少债务并促进全球贸易谈判的恢复。20N集团的官员还讨论了如何对拒 绝联合反对恐怖主义的国家进行制裁。唯一提到金融危机的地方是《自愿行为准 则》，但金融危机并不是一个单独的议题，故选C。 第18题 The G20 is a(n) ______ organization. 模考吧网提供最优质的模拟试题，最全的历年真题，最精准的预测押题～ 我们一直在努力做得更好～ 更多各种资格考试历年真题请访问 www.mokaoba.com A international B European C regional D Asian 【正确答案】:A 【本题分数】:1.0分 【答案解析】 [考点] 本题的设题点在新闻的结尾处。 [精析] 新闻提到，20国集团由欧盟和其他包括澳大利亚、巴西、中国、日本和 美国的19个国家组成，文中提到的这些国家分别属于欧洲、澳洲、美洲和亚洲， 由此可以看出，G20是一个国际组织，故选A。 第19题 The UN Charter went into effect after ______.

UN Secretary General Kofi Annan said the UN had both successes and failures in carrying out the pledges in the Charter. The UN Charter is the constitution of the organization. It was signed in San Francisco on June 26th, 1945 by the 50 original member countries. [1] It took effect on October 24th, 1945, 模考吧网提供最优质的模拟试题，最全的历年真题，最精准的预测押题～ 我们一直在努力做得更好～ 更多各种资格考试历年真题请访问 www.mokaoba.com after being approved by the five founding members—China, France, the Soviet Union, the United Kingdom and the United States, and a majority of the other counties that signed the Charter. The Charter is a constitutional treaty. All countries that signed it are bound by its articles. [2] It states that the Charter comes first above all other treaties. Its main purposes include the prevention of new conflicts, building peace and protecting human rights and social progress. The most important chapters are those dealing with the enforcement powers of UN bodies. They describe, for example, the Security Council's power to investigate and mediate disputes. They also describe its power to authorize economic, diplomatic and military sanctions as well as the use of military force to resolve disputes. The UN, late last year, revealed a proposal to overhaul the organization including the Security Council. This could be the most comprehensive UN reform since its foundation. [考点] 本题考查新闻事件的时间。 [精析] 新闻提到，1945年10月24日，这个宪章在五个创始国——中国、法国、 苏联、英国、美国和大部分签署了该宪章的国家通过后生效了，故选B。新闻中 的take effect与题干中的went into effect同义。 第20题 Which of the following best describes the role of the Charter? A The Charter only describes powers of the UN bodies. B The Charter mainly aims to promote world economy. C The Charter is a treaty above all other treaties. D The Charter authorizes reforms in UN bodies. 【正确答案】:C 【本题分数】:1.0分 【答案解析】 [考点] 本题考查细节的归纳。 [精析] 题干问的是哪一个能最好地描述宪章的地位，因此答案必须要有概括性。 新闻中提到，宪章由一些条约构成，所有签署的国家都要受它的各项条款的制约， 它是第一位的，高于其他一切条约，故选C。 第21题 模考吧网提供最优质的模拟试题，最全的历年真题，最精准的预测押题～ 我们一直在努力做得更好～ 更多各种资格考试历年真题请访问 www.mokaoba.com The man stole the aircraft mainly because he wanted to ______. A destroy the European Central Bank B have an interview with a TV station C circle skyscrapers in downtown Frankfurt D remember the death of a US astronaut 【正确答案】:D 【本题分数】:1.0分 【答案解析】 [听力原文] A man stole a small aircraft at gunpoint Sunday and flew it over downtown Frankfurt, circling skyscrapers and threatening to crash into the European Central Bank. He landed safely after about two hours and was arrested. [1] The man told a television station he wanted to call attention to Judith Resnik, a US astronaut killed in the 1986 post-launch explosion of the space shuttle Challenger. [2] Military jets chased the stolen, two-seat motorized glider as the man began circling slowly above Frankfurt's banking district. Thousands of people were evacuated from the main railway station, two opera houses and several skyscrapers. Police identified the man as a 31-year-old German student from Darmstadt, a city about 25 miles south of Frankfurt. In radio contact with air traffic controllers, the man threatened to crash into the European Central Bank headquarters unless he was allowed the TV interview as well as a call to Baltimore. He later said he wanted to commit suicide by plunging the plane into the Main River. It was unclear if the man was forced to land, or talked down. Air traffic controllers and a police psychologist had been in contact with him. [考点] 本题的设题点在人物观点处。 [精析] 新闻提到，男子对电视台说，他想引起大家对在1986年“挑战者”号航 天飞机失事中死亡的宇航员朱迪斯?雷斯尼克的注意，也就是说他想纪念宇航员 朱迪斯?雷斯尼克，故选D。 第22题 Which of the following statements about the man is TRUE?

C He had talked to air traffic controllers by radio. D He threatened to land on the European Central Bank. 【正确答案】:C 【本题分数】:1.0分 【答案解析】 [考点] 本题的设题点在identify处。 [精析] 新闻提到，经警方确认，该男子大约31岁，是一名来自达姆施塔特的德 国学生，达姆施塔特在法兰克福南部大约25英里的地方，由此可以排除选项A。 警方还指出，与空中交通指挥员通过无线电联络时，男子威胁说要撞毁欧洲中央 银行，由此可知男子并不是要降落在欧洲中央银行上，故排除选项D。新闻中提 到这架飞机是双座的动力滑翔机，并非直升机，故排除B。同时我们也可以确信 男子的确是用无线电与空中交通指挥员进行交流，故本题选C。 第23题 According to the news, what makes this credit card different from conventional ones is ______. A that it can hear the owner's voice B that it can remember a password C that it can identify the owner's voice D that it can remember the owner's PIN 【正确答案】:C 【本题分数】:1.0分 【答案解析】 [听力原文] [1] A credit card that only works when it hears its owner's voice has been developed by US scientists. Researchers hope that the device, which comes with a built-in voice recognition chip and microphone, will be a weapon in the battle against credit card fraud. Even if thieves know a card's 模考吧网提供最优质的模拟试题，最全的历年真题，最精准的预测押题～ 我们一直在努力做得更好～ 更多各种资格考试历年真题请访问 www.mokaoba.com password and personal identification number, they will still have to copy the owner's voice accurately. The trial-card was created by scientists at Beecard in California US. The first version is three times as thick as a normal credit card. But the researchers believe smaller chips will allow the card to slim down to a more conventional size. [2] The card is apparently the first to put a voice recognition Chip, a microphone, speaker and battery into a credit card. To use the card, the owner first presses a button and hears the prompt: "Say your password". If the password is correct and spoken by the right person, the card emits an identification signal which is processed by a computer connected to the Internet. Researchers hope to get the card to handle ten transactions per day for two years before its non-replaceable battery runs out. [考点] 本题的设题点在新闻的导语处。 [精析] 新闻开头提到，美国科学家发明了一种只有在听到持卡人声音后才工作 的信用卡，也就是说这种新的信用卡能识别持卡人的声音，故选C。新闻中的 voice recognition与题干中的identify voice是同义转述。 第24题 The newly developed credit card is said to have all the following EXCEPT ______. A switch B battery C speaker D built-in chip 【正确答案】:A 【本题分数】:1.0分 【答案解析】 [考点] 本题的设题点在列举处。 [精析] 新闻提到，这是第一种安装有声音识别芯片、麦克风、扬声器和电池的 信用卡，并未提到这种新开发的信用卡里有转换器，故选A。 第25题 According to the WTO, Chinese exports rose ______ last year. 模考吧网提供最优质的模拟试题，最全的历年真题，最精准的预测押题～ 我们一直在努力做得更好～ 更多各种资格考试历年真题请访问 www.mokaoba.com A 21% B 10% C 22% D 4.73% 【正确答案】:C 【本题分数】:1.0分 【答案解析】 [听力原文] China has established itself as one of the world's great trading nations, moving past the UK into fifth place.

No other trading nation in the top ten came close to that level of growth. [2] The World leader, the United States. saw exports fall 5% in 2002 from the previous year. Exports by third ranked Japan rose 3%, while second ranked Germany reported a 7% rise. In the area of total trade flows are just over 13.1 trillion US dollars, the top ten traders are counted for 7.4 trillion US dollars or 56%. The US share is 13.78%, while China has 4.73%. [考点] 本题的设题点在数字信息处， [精析] 新闻提到，WTO的新数据表明中国的出口额去年上涨了22%，达到3256 亿美元。进口额上涨了21%，达到2952亿美元，故选C。题干中的rose与原文 中的jump是同义转述。A选项是进口额的增长百分比，故排除。 第26题 According to the news, which trading nation in the top 10 has reported a 5 per cent fall in exports?

A take part in a barbecue party B collect some useful information about hibernation C practise climbing D measure the height of it 【正确答案】:A 【本题分数】:1.0分 【答案解析】 [听力原文] A man who went missing in western Japan survived in near-freezing weather without food and water for over three weeks by falling into a state similar to hibernation, doctors said. Mitsutaka Uchikoshi had almost no pulse, his organs had all but shut down and his body temperature was 71 degrees Fahrenheit when he was discovered on Rokko mountain in late October, said doctors who treated him at the nearby Kobe City General Hospital. He had been missing for 24 days. "On the second day, the sun was out, I was in a field, and I felt very comfortable. That's my last memory," Uchikoshi, 35, told reporters Tuesday before returning home from hospital. "I must have fallen asleep after that."

However, a study by the Harvard School of Public Health reported today in the Journal of the American Medical Association linking Vitamin D to a lowered risk of MS offers some new hope in the quest to understand this mysterious disease. The study of more than seven million US military personnel compared the levels of Vitamin D in the bloodstream of 257 white members of the military who had multiple sclerosis with those who did not have the disorder. Researchers found that the risk of developing multiple sclerosis was highest for those individuals with the lowest levels of Vitamin D in their blood. For those with higher blood levels of Vitamin D, the risk for Multiple Sclerosis was significantly lower. [2] The study did not Show a connection between Vitamin D levels and MS in blacks and Latinos, possibly because there were not enough blacks or Latinos participating in the Study.

D Its culture is internationally famous. 【正确答案】:B 【本题分数】:1.0分 【答案解析】 [听力原文] 1-5 W: Hello, Franklin! M: Hello, Mary! How nice to see you again! How have you been these days? W: Pretty busy, you know I am hunting for a job recently. M: Well, how is it going? W: You know I've been thinking about applying for a job in other states. Well, I've got the details about different jobs and I'd like your opinion about which would be the best one to go for. M: Where are the jobs? W: One is in Los Angeles, one is in Detroit and the other one is in Atlanta City. M: Los Angeles is supposed to be a very nice place. Los Angeles area offers many attractive visiting places, like mountains and beaches. And there are ski resorts near the city! It is considered to be one of the best tourist destination in the country. W: Yes it is, and the company is also located in a beautiful part. M: That would be great for the health.

[1]That means the cost of living would be very high. A report says that the overall cost of living is 33% above the national average, with housing costs tending to be among the most expensive in the nation. In the city of Los Angeles, the median cost for apartment rentals is $735 per month. M: How does the salary of the job in Los Angeles compare with other jobs? W: It's a higher salary than the job in Detroit but lower than the one in Atlanta City. [2] The Atlanta City job has the most responsibility. From the point of view of career progression that would probably be the best job for me. M: [4]Atlanta City is the closest to New York City, too, so it would be easy to come back for weekends and holidays. W: That's fight, and the regular transportation service would save quite a bit on fares. M: And what about accommodation? W: Well, actually, apartments are much cheaper to rent in Los Angeles, Detroit and Atlanta City than they are here in New York City, so we'd be able to afford to live in a nice, spacious apartment, I'd think. M: Mmm, that would be terrific! And do you know what the cultural facilities are like in these cities? W: In fact, they're quite good in all three. But, of course, Los Angeles has an international reputation as a cultural center. It has a surprising number of art museums and galleries and [3]many of them offer free admission all the time or on certain days of the week or month. [3]There are also some excellent theaters in Los Angeles, some of which double as architectural landmarks like the Pantages Theater. I have been there once, it's so amazing. What's more, you know, I am so crazy about movies, and Hollywood is just there, maybe I could come across some super Hollywood stars in the street and get a signature. M: Well, that sounds fascinating. And another thing we'll have to consider, of course, are the educational possibilities. How long would you want to go for? W: I hope it would be a maximum of five years and working across states will be good for my career! And if I would apply for the master degree, [3]there'd be no problems as University of California Los Angeles, in fact, is the one of the largest university in this country. M: Well, it seems to me that the choice must be between Atlanta City and Los Angeles. Atlanta City has the advantage of being closest to New York City, so coming home would be relatively easy and inexpensive. Los Angeles, on the other hand, sounds like the most interesting place from a cultural point of view. W: I agree with you. Personally, [5]I favor Los Angeles because it is so fascinating.

A merging of different cultural identities B more emphasis on homogeneity C embracing of more ethnic differences D acceptance of more branches of Christianity 【正确答案】:C 【本题分数】:1.0分 【答案解析】 [听力原文] 1-5 (W=Interviewer M=Dr. James Johnson) W: The word "diversity" has become a cliché in the United States today. It seems to me that nowadays Americans cannot mm on the television or read a newspaper without seeing the word pop up somewhere as a description of the American demographic. Then what is this diversity in the US? Today, we are very pleased to have Dr. James Johnson here on our talk show. Welcome, Dr. Johnson. M: Thanks. 模考吧网提供最优质的模拟试题，最全的历年真题，最精准的预测押题～ 我们一直在努力做得更好～ 更多各种资格考试历年真题请访问 www.mokaoba.com W: Dr. Johnson, we know you have done extensive research on diversity. So what is ...how do you define diversity in the American context? M: Well, at one time, the US was called "a melting pot", you know, which means that people of many different religions, cultures and races could shed their traditional cultural identities and blend into one homogeneous nation. W: Am I right in saying that a melting pot would emphasize the idea of "all in one" or "being the same"? M: Yes, you may say so. Urn, or course, when the phrase "melting pot" was popular, there was also the idea of being different. But being different then simply meant Catholic as opposed to Protestant, or Irish as opposed to Swedish or Italian. W: Has the idea of being different changed over the years? M: Yes, of course. [1] You see, today we use the word "diversity' to refer to more visible ethnic differences—Asian American, African American and Latino, for instance. And religious diversity refers to a variety of world religions, not merely different branches of Christianity. W: [2] And now is America as a whole truly diverse? M: Well, I think, in all this talk of diversity, there is a critical point that may be missed. That is, diversity is not occurring everywhere in the US, or at least not to a degree that would alter the demography of every region in the country. W: Oh, really? M: I can give you an example. Recently, a New York Times article describes the town of Selinsgrove in Pennsylvania. You see, in the last ten years, things have barely changed in that town. The population has dropped by one from 5,384 to 5,383, and the town remains virtually 100% white. The article thus concludes that many portions of the country remain, like Selinsgrove, virtually unchanged on this march towards diversity. W: So regions vary in terms of the degree and types of diversity? M: That's correct. Let's see, there are 3 types of diversity in the US and they differ from region to region. W: Could you elaborate on that? M: OK. The first is racial diversity. States with the most racially diverse populations stand in stark contrast to those with the least racially diverse populations. Um, let's look at two states, California and Maine. From 1990 to 2000, California's Caucasian population—meaning non-Hispanic whites—declined from 57% to 48%. [3] By 2025, as is predicted, that figure will drop to just, 34%, which indicates a future change in the racial composition of California. On the contrary, Maine's Caucasian population was 98% of its total population throughout the 1990s. And by 2025, Maine's population will still be 97% Caucasian, which means virtually no change in Maine's racial diversity over the next 20 or so 模考吧网提供最优质的模拟试题，最全的历年真题，最精准的预测押题～ 我们一直在努力做得更好～ 更多各种资格考试历年真题请访问 www.mokaoba.com years. W: This shows that racial diversity is not occurring everywhere. Then what about other types of diversity? M: Right. The second type of diversity is age diversity. And there're some interesting age gaps developing between states. For example, there is a large gap between the average age of the 5 states with the youngest populations and the 5 states with the oldest populations. This, of course, is well-known. What is less discussed is the difference between the racial makeup of younger and older populations. [4] Most of the populations having the greatest racial diversity are younger on average than the populations with great Caucasian representation. It is also well-known that Caucasians tend to be more affluent than other ethnic groups on average. In our pay-as-you-go social security system, workers are taxed to pay the benefits of retirees. So this could lead to a future where wealth is systematically redistributed from younger, poorer minorities, to older, wealthier ones. W: This is a very interesting point. Then what is the third type of diversity in the US? M: The third is religious diversity. Immigration from India, Pakistan and the Middle East brought radically increased numbers of Hindus and Muslims to the US. And Chinese, Vietnamese, Japanese and other Asian immigrants increased the numbers of Buddhists. W: Oh, I see. M: [5] But the point is that these religions didn't settle everywhere. They settled mainly in California and major Northeastern and Midwestern cities, such as New York, Philadelphia, Chicago and Minneapolis. From 1990 to 2000, the number of Muslims in New York City grew from 600,000 to nearly one million. In the Los Angeles area, there are now more than 300 Buddhist temples. W: So we see that many parts of the US are truly becoming more diverse, while at the same time, others are essentially remaining the same in terms of race, age and religion. M: Yes, that is true. W: OK, Dr. Johnson, thank you very much for coming on the show and talking to us. M: My pleasure.

C Toastmasters accepts members from the general public. D Toastmasters is an exclusive club for professional speakers. 【正确答案】:C 【本题分数】:1.0分 【答案解析】 [听力原文] 1-5 (M=Interviewer W=Mrs. Collins) M: Good morning, Mrs. Collins, welcome to our studio. As a distinguished member of Toastmasters International, could you tell us a bit about the background of the organization? W: I'm delighted to have that opportunity. [1] Toastmasters is an international organization designed to develop effective speaking and listening skills. It was founded in 1924 by Ralph Smedley and is headquartered in California. M: What is the purpose of Toastmasters? W: Toastmasters has a two-fold purpose: the personal growth of the individual and the strong effective communication skills. M: Then, who is Toastmasters open to? And what kind of members do you have now? W: Well, many people think Toastmasters is open only to those individuals who wish to be professional speakers. But that is definitely not true. [1] Toastmasters is open to the public at large. Any individual who wishes to improve his public speaking is welcome. And also, those who just want to increase their overall self-confidence are encouraged to attend. M: Another question is how can Toastmasters help you in job situations? W: [2] By becoming involved in Toastmasters, you will learn different methods of communicating what you really want to say. And equally important, you will learn what your audience expects from you, so you can deliver that message to them in a logical fashion. Some people are comfortable around friends, but when they appear before a group they don't know, they get tense. Our organization helps our members to get calm and organize thoughts, and deliver them in an effective way. M: Is Toastmasters concerned with total communication, not just for speaking but other communication skills? W: Most often, people assume that when you are listening, you are also paying attention. This is not always true. Many times, people are waiting for their turn to speak and are not really listening at all. Toastmasters 模考吧网提供最优质的模拟试题，最全的历年真题，最精准的预测押题～ 我们一直在努力做得更好～ 更多各种资格考试历年真题请访问 www.mokaoba.com can develop a person overall in terms of organizing their thoughts, getting input from others, and then receiving effective feedback. M: Then, how does Toastmasters train people? W: [3] Toastmasters has an approach of learning by doing. The Toastmasters International Organization provides a menu we refer to as "the basic menu", because it gives a guideline for the development of speeches. These speeches cater to different purposes. For example, one objective might be to develop vocal variety; another might be to organize your thoughts or develop your use of humour in speeches. M: Can you also learn other skills, such as parliamentary procedures or being master of ceremonies? W: [4] Yes. Different assignments within Toastmasters involve not only preparation of speeches and then presenting these before an audience, but also the opportunity of serving as toastmaster of the meeting. This assignment helps members practice being an MC for a meeting, that is a master of ceremonies, Other assignments include serving as an evaluator for another speaker Or serving as grammarian who will monitor use of filler words or phrases, such as "and", "ah", "ur", or "you know". Both of these assignments will allow the member to increase or enhance their listening skills. M: I know that there is an eight-week programme for young people and also an eight-week speech craft course offered for adults. What do these involve? W: They are basically introduction to Toastmasters in general; a sample providing the opportunity for an individual to determine whether or not they wish to get involved in Toastmasters by joining in a club. M: What can an individual gain from being in Toastmasters? W: I would say self-confidence and some tricks of the trade in the development of speeches. But that is only the beginning. As an individual continues to give speeches and improve, he progresses from the point of being fearful to stand before a group of peers to the point where he can address any group of people with the degree of self-confidence. Leadership skills are also developed by learning to organize and conduct meetings. M: OK, thank you very much, Mrs. Collins, for talking to us in the studio. W: You're most welcome.

M: Any news recently? W: Oh, well, I read in the local paper the other day that the government is planning to build an airport here. You know that? M: Afraid not. W: Well, [1] my real objection to this idea of a new airport is... is that the whole thing is so wasteful, I mean, we know we're currently in fuel crisis)we know that We've got to conserve oil and fuel and all the rest of it. And yet here the government seems quite deliberately to be encouraging people to... to travel, to use, and these jets use a heck of lot of oil—I mean, it takes a ton of oil, a ton of petrol before one of these big jets even takes off. M: Mm... W: [2] It seems so completely short-sighted to me, quite apart from all the waste of land and so on. I can't see... I can't see the rationale behind really wanting an... an airport at all. 模考吧网提供最优质的模拟试题，最全的历年真题，最精准的预测押题～ 我们一直在努力做得更好～ 更多各种资格考试历年真题请访问 www.mokaoba.com M: Well, surely, you must admit that the existing airports nearby are... are becoming swamped. I mean, why should people, er... W: Well they are being swamped! M: ...be treated like cattle when there's a chance of... a new airport here? W: But, but really, people shouldn't be travelling as much. That's... that's why most of the journeys, I mean, [2] they're swamped because there's far too much unnecessary tourism and so on. It isn't necessary for people to travel... so fast Or even so often. M: Well, you take the climate here in this country. Now just before Christmas there was this dreadful cold spell and there was a tremendous increase in the number of people who wanted to leave and spend Christmas and the New Year in a reasonable climate of sun and a... a certain mild climate. And, and in summer the same situation occurs. It is unbearably hot here, and people want to go somewhere cool. W: Well yes, I can sympathize with that. But it is still not really necessary to do whereas it is necessary to... to conserve fuel and it is necessary to... well, not to waste land. I mean, land for a new airport could be used for far more important things which would benefit the people here far more. I mean it could be used for farming, for instance. M: True. W: It could also be used for housing, or it could be used for parks, you know. People then could come and enjoy themselves without having to travel far. M: But, [3] airports do bring some local advantages. They bring roads; there is obviously extra employment, for instance, new hotels, shops; restaurants will have to be built. This means more jobs for the locals, and it is good for local economy. W: But, you ask the people... you ask those who are now living near the airports, for instance, whether... whether they reckon that airports are bringing them advantages. [2] All the... all the airports are bringing are noise and vast motorways, and the whole area is... is desolated, isn't it? M: But the airport infra... infrastructure relies on housing and other facilities for the... great number of people who would be employed in the airport, the pilots even, the stewardesses, they have to live somewhere near the airport, right? W: Yeah, but it's... it's just so... so damaging to the whole area, I think, airports. From my point of view, the whole concept is out-dated, really. Um, [4] with modem technology, we're going to make a lot of travel unnecessary, really. For example, it won't be necessary for businessmen to fly out to a foreign country to talk to somebody.

A unfavourable weather conditions B airports' handling capacity C inadequate ticketing service D overbooking 【正确答案】:B 【本题分数】:1.0分 【答案解析】 [听力原文] 1-5 (W=Interviewer M=Nigel) W: Nigel Lynch is editor of Business Travel Weekly. Nigel, thanks for being on the show. Now what kind of problems do airline passengers face nowadays? M: Well, [1] most of the problems are caused by the heavy volume of traffic. You know, all airports have a limit to the number of takeoffs and landings they can handle. W: So what seems to be the problem? M: All flights from a busy airport arrive and leave at more or less the same time. If 60 aircraft are scheduled to take off between 5:00 p.m. and 5:15, and the airport can only handle 120 an hour, that means some will always be late landing or taking off. And if the weather is bad, you can imagine what the situation is like. So passengers have to be loaded into each plane and then the planes have to line up to take off. 模考吧网提供最优质的模拟试题，最全的历年真题，最精准的预测押题～ 我们一直在努力做得更好～ 更多各种资格考试历年真题请访问 www.mokaoba.com W: So, waiting at the lounge or on the plane is quite common. M: Certainly. And another problem that's very common is overbooking. Quite often, you hear an announcement on the airport loudspeakers: "We have oversold on this flight and would like volunteers to go on the next flight out." [2] If you decide to volunteer, you may get a cash bribe or a free trip voucher, but make sure you get a guaranteed seat on the next flight and a free phone call to whoever is meeting you on the other end. And worse still, you arrive with a confirmed reservation and you discover you've been bumped off the flight. W: Presumably, if you choose to travel at off-peak times, there are fewer problems. M: Well, there are no off-peak times. All flights seem to be full, except Saturday. I don't quite understand why this is so. You know, if there is a public holiday, things are likely to be especially busy. The special fare systems on the airlines' computers encourage more people to fly on less popular flights and this means that as a result all flights are equally full. W: So, what advice would you give to business travellers? M: I'd say, avoid big airports if you can. [3] The reason is there are too many flights there. Then remember not to check your baggage if you can help it. Another thing is, be prepared for delays—take something to eat and drink in your hand luggage. W: Nigel, what kind of mistakes do inexperienced travellers make? M: [4] The first mistake business travellers make is to take far too much luggage. Remember, take only carry-on luggage. Because at most airports, you can get away with two small bags. W: Oh, I see. M: [4] Another mistake people make is to think that you have to pay full price for air tickets. You should find out about the different ticket options. [5] For example, an RTW fare can save up to 40% on normal fare. W: Excuse me, what is RTW? M: Round the world. For example, if you're going to Australia from the USA, you could go out via Singapore and come back via North America. And another way to save money is to see if a ticket to a destination beyond is cheaper. For example, a ticket from Amsterdam from London to New York may be cheaper than one straight from London to New York. W: That's very useful information. M: [4] And another mistake is to go away for too long. Most people's efficiency and energy start to fall off after two weeks away. So my advice is, keep your trip short, only go for two weeks and never for longer than three. [5] Another point is don't expect everything to go according to plan. You need to learn to expect the unexpected. There may be a typhoon in summer, or your taxi may break down on the way to the airport. In other 模考吧网提供最优质的模拟试题，最全的历年真题，最精准的预测押题～ 我们一直在努力做得更好～ 更多各种资格考试历年真题请访问 www.mokaoba.com words, don't be optimistic about plans and don't schedule important meetings too closely together. You need to allow time for delays and breakdowns. W: Yeah, this is something travellers have to remember when they plan the trips. M: And another thing, get to know a good travel agent and make sure he gives you the best possible service. Take discounts for example, a good travel agent can get first-class tickets for the price of business-class. [5] This is because he does enough volume business and he can get discounts with airlines on his own behalf. He should pass them on to you, so make sure he indeed does. W: I think the worst part of a trip is having to travel overnight or being stuck for a weekend in some dreadful place. Are there any ways of avoiding that? M: Yes. A weekend break or a stopover in a more relaxing or lively place is often available at a special cheap weekend rate. Various airlines and hotel chains offer these, and [5] it is always more pleasant to stay the night in a hotel than on a plane even if you are travel business class. W: Yes. OK, thank you Nigel, for all the useful information and advice. M: Pleasure. [考点] 本题的设题点在对话开头的问答处。 [精析] 对话开头记者问奈杰尔现在航空旅客主要面临哪些问题，奈杰尔回答说 大多数问题都是由过大的交通流量造成的，每个机场能处理的飞机起飞和着陆数 量是有限的。由此可知，机场的能力有限，不能处理过大的交通流量，因此造成 了很多问题，故选B。 第22题 Which of the following is NOT mentioned as compensation for volunteers for the next flight out? A Free ticket. B Free phone call. C Cash reward. D Seat reservation. 【正确答案】:D 【本题分数】:1.0分 【答案解析】 模考吧网提供最优质的模拟试题，最全的历年真题，最精准的预测押题～ 我们一直在努力做得更好～ 更多各种资格考试历年真题请访问 www.mokaoba.com [考点] 本题的设题点在条件状语从句处(if)。 [精析] 对话中奈杰尔提到:“如果你自愿换到下一班次的飞机，你会得到现金的奖励或者免费旅行券，但同时你要保证你在下一班飞机上有座位，并且你能免费打电话给在目的地等你的人。”由此可以看出，对话中并未提到自愿乘坐下次班机有预订座位这一奖励，故选D。 第23题 Why does Nigel suggest that business travellers avoid big airports? A Because all flights in and out of there are full. B Because the volume of traffic is heavy. C Because there are more popular flights. D Because there are more delays and cancellations. 【正确答案】:B 【本题分数】:1.0分 【答案解析】 [考点] 本题的设题点在对话问答处。 [精析] 对话中采访者问奈杰尔对商务旅行者有什么建议，奈杰尔先回答说:“尽量避免大型的机场”，接着解释了原因“那里有太多的飞机”。也就是说大型机场的交通流量大，故选B。 第24题 According to Nigel, inexperience travellers are likely to make the following mistakes EXCEPT ______. A booking on less popular flights B buying tickets at full price C carrying excessive luggage D planning long business trips 【正确答案】:A 【本题分数】:1.0分 【答案解析】 模考吧网提供最优质的模拟试题，最全的历年真题，最精准的预测押题～ 我们一直在努力做得更好～ 更多各种资格考试历年真题请访问 www.mokaoba.com [考点] 本题的设题点在对话问答处和回答的列举处。 [精析] 对话中采访者问奈杰尔没有经验的旅客往往会犯些什么错误，奈杰尔用 first、another、and another进行了列举，他说第一个错误是带太多的行李， 第二个就是买全价的飞机票，第三个是旅行时间过长。奈杰尔并没有提到他们预 订冷门航班，故选A。 第25题 Which of the following statements is INCORRECT? A The possibility of discounts depends on a travel agent's volume of business. B Longer flights to the same destination may be cheaper. C It is advisable to plan every detail of a trip in advance. D Arranging for stopovers can avoid overnight travel. 【正确答案】:C 【本题分数】:1.0分 【答案解析】 [考点] 本题的设题点对话的建议处 [精析] 对话中奈杰尔提到:“不要期望一切都按计划进行，要学会面对意外情 况的变化。”由此可以看出，奈杰尔并不建议事先安排好所有细节，因为有很多 未定因素，故C不正确，答案应为C。选项A、B、D均与原文吻合，可排除。 第26题 Which of the following statements is TRUE about Miss Green's university days?

How did you find it there? W: [1] I had a great time. The teaching there was good and I made a lot of friends. The Psychology Department was a great place to be. M: How come you chose psychology? W: Well, at first I didn't have any clear idea of what I wanted to do after university. I guess I've just always been interested in people and the way they act. I wanted to know why people think and act the way they do. It's a fascinating area. M: And what was the course like? W: Good. The teachers were all really nice and they had this special approach to teaching. You know they didn't just give us lectures and tell us to read books like they might do in some more traditional places. The whole course was based on a problem-solving approach. You know they describe a particular situation to us and we discuss what might happen. And after that, we do some reading and see if it confirmed our own ideas. That's what I liked best—the really practical orientation of the course. I learnt very well with that style. So for me, it was just great. M: I see from your resume that you graduated about four years ago and after that...let me see... W: I got a job with the Department of Employment. It was only a temporary thing for about five months. I was a researcher in the Department. [2] We design a survey, go out to the factories and ask all the questions to the workers and the management, then go back to the office, analyze all the data and produce a report. It was quite interesting. And I guess the psychology course at college helped me a lot. M: And after that you worked for three years in an advertising agency. That must have been a bit of change from the Department of Employment, wasn't it? W: Well, not really. [3] I suppose the Office furnishings were a bit more sophisticated, but the work was quite similar. I was basically still doing the same thing: designing questionnaires, going out, asking questions and writing reports. The only difference was that this time I wasn't asking people about their work. I was asking them what kind of shampoo they bought and if they preferred brand X to brand Y. Then I'd make up a report and the agency would use the information in their advertising campaigns. I enjoyed my work a lot. M: So why did you decide to leave? 模考吧网提供最优质的模拟试题，最全的历年真题，最精准的预测押题～ 我们一直在努力做得更好～ 更多各种资格考试历年真题请访问 www.mokaoba.com W: Three years is a long time to be asking people those sort of questions about shampoo and drinks. No, seriously, after two years I was in charge of the Research Department of the agency and I had one assistant researcher. I guess after two years of doing that I supposed I felt, you know, [4] I can do this well and now I want to do something else that's a little different. And there was nowhere for me to go inside the company. It just wasn't challenging for me anymore. And because I needed a challenge, I decided to move on. When I heard about the position of senior researcher here, I thought that's exactly what I want: the chance to combine my management skills and my research interests, working in a much larger department with more varied work. M: And you felt that the job description in our advertisement would offer you the kind of challenge you're looking for? W: Exactly, yes. As I said management in a larger organization and research combined. Also, to be honest with you, I heard about the job before it was advertised. A friend of mine who works here, Mark Auston, told me a few weeks ago that you were looking for someone to take over the job. He described the position to me in quite a bit of detail. And I thought, well, that's exactly what I am looking for. So really I'd written my letter of application before the job was even advertised. M: I should tell you that with the present cutbacks, we've only got one full-time administrative assistant in the section. How would you feel about doing your own Word processing, photocopying, that sort of thing? W: [5] Oh, I'm used to that. I've done all my own Word processing for ages. It's the only way to write really, isn't it? I can type well, about 60 words a minute. I did secretarial course after I left school, so I learned typing and shorthand. Then a few years later, I bought a PC and I learned how to do Word processing too. M: Well, that's handy. Now in the position you've applied for you'd have five assistant researchers responsible to you. That's considerably more responsibility than you've had before. So you're obviously ambitious and as you said you like a challenge. I was wondering what you see yourself doing in, say, five or ten years on the track? W: Oh, that's a difficult question. Let me try to answer your question this way. I'm particularly interested in experimental design and also in teaching. I'd like to continue the organization in planning side of research, but do some teaching too. I know that you have lecturers here who do just that sort of thing: some practical work and some undergraduate and postgraduate teaching. So that's what I'd really be aiming for: to be a lecturer here as well. M: Well, that's certainly a career path that we'd encourage you to follow. But of course, it might be necessary to upgrade your present qualifications first.

A Doing surveys at workplace. B Analyzing survey results. C Designing questionnaires. D Taking a psychology cours 【正确答案】:D 【本题分数】:1.0分 【答案解析】 [考点] 本题的设题点在细节描述处。 [精析] 对话中男士问格林女士毕业后的情况，格林女士简单介绍了她在就业部门的工作并做出了具体的描述:设计调查问卷、到工厂对工人和管理人员做问卷调查，再对这些数据进行分析并写出调查报告。由此可知，她的工作内容包括A、B、C三个选项的描述，但不包括上心理学课，故选D。 第28题 According to Miss Green, the main difference between the Department of Employment and the advertising agency lies in ______.

A She felt unhappy inside the company. B She felt work there too demanding. C She was denied promotion in the company. D She longed for new opportunities. 【正确答案】:D 【本题分数】:1.0分 【答案解析】 [考点] 本题的设题点在因果关系处。 [精析] 当男士问道“你为什么离开”时，格林女士回答说:“经过两年的工作，我觉得自己做得很好，但想做一些不同的事。广告公司已经满足不了我这样的需求了，那里的工作对我来说已经没有了挑战性，所以我决定离开去寻找更有挑战性的工作。”由此可以看出，女士是希望有更多的机遇。故选D。 第30题 How did Miss Green react to a heavier workload in the new job?

A To look into the mental health of old people. B To explain why people have negative views on old age. C To help correct some false beliefs about old age. D To identify the various problems of old ag 【正确答案】:C 【本题分数】:1.0分 【答案解析】 [听力原文] 1-5 (M=Interviewer W=Professor Mckay) M: Today, we've Professor McKay on our morning talk show. Good morning, Professor McKay. W: Good morning. M: I've heard that you and your team have just completed a report on old age. W: That's right. M: Could you tell me what your report is about? W: Well, the report basically looks into the various beliefs that people hold about old age and tries to verify them. M: And what do you think your report can achieve? W: [1] We hope that it will somehow help people to change their feelings about old age. The problem is that far too many of us believe that most old people are poor, lonely, and unhappy. [2] As a result, we tend to find 模考吧网提供最优质的模拟试题，最全的历年真题，最精准的预测押题～ 我们一直在努力做得更好～ 更多各种资格考试历年真题请访问 www.mokaoba.com old people, as a group, unattractive. And this is very dangerous for our society. M: But surely we cannot escape the fact that many old people are lonely and many are sick. W: No, we can't. But we must also remember that the proportion of such people is no greater among the 60-70 age group than among the 50-60 age group. M: In other words, there is no more mental illness, for example, among the 60s-70s than among the 50s-60s. W: Right! And why should there be? Why should we expect people suddenly change when they reach their 60th or 65th birthday any more than they did when they reached their 21 st? M: But one would expect there to be more physical illness among old people, surely. W: Why should one expect this? After all, those people who reach the age of 65 or 70 are the strong among us. The weak die mainly in childhood, then in their 40s and 50s. Furthermore, by the time people reach 60 or 65, they have learned how to look after themselves. They keep warm, sleep regular hours, and eat sensibly. Of course, some old people do suffer from physical illnesses, but these do not suddenly develop on their 65th birthday. People who are healthy in middle age tend to he healthy in old age, just as one would expect. M: Do you find that young people these days are not as concerned about their parents as their parents were about theirs? W: [3] We have found nothing that suggests that family feeling is either dying Or dead. There do not appear to be large numbers of young people who are trying, for example, to have their dear old mother locked up in a mental hospital. M: But don't many parents live apart from their married children then used to be the case? W: True, but this is because many more young families can afford to own their own homes these days than ever before. [4] In other words, parents and their married children usually live in separate households because they prefer it that way, not because the children refuse to have mum and dad living with them. M: Is this a good thing, do you think? W: I think that it's an excellent arrangement. We all like to keep part of our lives private, even from those we love dearly. I certainly don't think that it's a sign of the increased loneliness of old age. M: Are people's mental abilities affected by old age? W: Certain changes do take place as we grow older, but this happens throughout life. These changes are very gradual and happen at different times with different people, but, in general, if you know a person well 模考吧网提供最优质的模拟试题，最全的历年真题，最精准的预测押题～ 我们一直在努力做得更好～ 更多各种资格考试历年真题请访问 www.mokaoba.com in his middle age and have seen how he deals with events and problems, you will easily recognize him in old age. M: So that someone who enjoys new experiences, travel, education, and so on in his middle years will usually continue to do so into old age? W: Exactly. We have carried out some very interesting experiments in which a group of people aged 60-70 and a group aged 30-40 had to learn the same things. The first thing we discovered was that the young group tends to be quicker at learning than the old group. However, although the old group took longer to learn, eventually, they performed as well as the young group. And when we tested the two groups several weeks later, there was again no difference between the two groups. M: That's very interesting indeed. What else did your experiments show? W: Well, one group of old people agreed to attend evening classes for a year to study English and mathematics. In fact, most of this group became so interested in their studies that they continued them for another year. Anyway, we discovered that they did best in the English classes and that most of them steadily improved their ability to communicate in both the written and the spoken language. M: What about the group who studied mathematics? W: Well, that's a different story. [5] There seems to be no doubt that people find maths more difficult as they grow older. Though, why this is so, I cannot say. M: Perhaps pocket calculators will solve this problem. W: I think you're right. In fact, I'm sure that you are. M: OK. Time for a commercial. Stay tuned; we'll be right back. [考点] 本题的设题点在对话问答处。 [精析] 对话中男士问道:“what do you think your report can achieve?” 也就是说，麦凯教授希望她的报告达到什么样的效果，也就是报告的目的。然后 教授回答说:“我希望报告能或多或少地帮助人们改变他们对老年的观点。”故 选C。 第32题 Which of the following is NOT Professor McKay's view?

A family love is gradually disappearing B it is hard to comment on family feeling C more children are indifferent to their parents D family love remains as strong as ever 【正确答案】:D 【本题分数】:1.0分 【答案解析】 [考点] 本题的设题点在对话问答处。 [精析] 对话中男士问教授:“你有没有发觉，现在的年轻人没有像他们的父母那样懂得关心上一辈人?”也就是说男士认为家庭的情感在淡化，但教授回答的是:“我们没有找到任何事实表明家庭的情感正在消失或已经消失。”由此可以看出，教授报告中显示家庭的爱(情感)还是和以前一样强，故选D。 第34题 Professor McKay is ______ towards the tendency of more parents living apart from their children. A negative B positive C ambiguous D neutral 模考吧网提供最优质的模拟试题，最全的历年真题，最精准的预测押题～ 我们一直在努力做得更好～ 更多各种资格考试历年真题请访问 www.mokaoba.com 【正确答案】:B 【本题分数】:1.0分 【答案解析】 [考点] 本题的设题点在对话中的观点处。 [精析] 对话中麦凯教授提到“父母和他们已婚的孩子分开住只是因为他们喜欢那样，并不是因为他们的孩子拒绝和爸爸妈妈住在一起”;然后男士问她是否觉得这是一个好事情，教授肯定地回答说:“这是一个极佳的安排。”由此可以看出，麦凯教授很赞成孩子和父母分开住这个趋势，故选B。 第35题 The only popular belief that Professor McKay is unable to provide evidence against is ______. A old-age sickness B loose family ties C poor mental abilities D difficulties in maths 【正确答案】:D 【本题分数】:1.0分 【答案解析】 [考点] 本题的设题点在转折处(though)。 [精析] 对话中麦凯教授提到，毫无疑问，人们都发觉他们年龄越大就觉得数学更难，这是一个普遍的观点。接着她又说:“尽管我说不清楚为什么会这样。”由此可以得出，麦凯教授并不能为人们觉得数学很难提供证据(原因)，故选D。 第36题 What is Small Wonder mainly concern?

And such work it is, read the world over. Short stories, poetry, history, novels like Pigs In Heaven, The Poisonwood Bible—my favourite —Prodigal Summer, and [1] now these essays called Small Wonder; her response to the terror of 9/11. I'm pleased to welcome to NOW, Barbara Kingsolver. W: Hi. Thanks. M: The title, Small Wonder. Why? W: I guess, my answer to that question is that a lot of us have found ourselves asking, how do we get through this without becoming embittered, without becoming intolerant and angry and hostile. In short, without becoming what we hate most. I think that if we become as intolerant and angry and violent as those who have attacked us, we've lost everything. M: What do you think is the best thing a novelist, a writer, can do at a time like this? You can't influence policy, can you? W: [2] I can't. And I don't want to. That's not my domain. What a writer can do, what a fiction writer or a poet or an essay writer can do is re-engage people with their own humanity. Fiction and essays can create empathy for the theoretical stranger. When you pick up a novel from the bed side table, you put down your own life at the same time and you become another person for the duration. And so you live that person's life and you understand in a way that you don't learn from reading a newspaper what it's like to live a life that's completely different from yours. And when you put that book down, you're changed. You have something more expansive in your heart than you began with. M: There's a passage that I'd like for you to read if you don't mind, in the opening...in the early part of the book, and then I'd like to ask you a question about it. W: OK.

We who live in this moment are not its cause. Instead, a thousand historic hungers blended to create it. But we are its chosen target." W: How do you propose we go after a Bin Laden? M: That is the hardest question, isn't it? There is not a simple answer, there are many thousands of answers, some simple and some complex. [3] But what I wanted to say there in that paragraph and the rest of the essay is that it's interesting that those of us who have proposed and argued for any solution, some solution that expands a little beyond answering violence directly with violence...We're often called naive. It's the opposite of naiveté. It's a matter of looking beyond the end of this week at next week and the week after that. Answering violence with violence doesn't get us anywhere. M: As I said in my introduction to you, The Poisonwood Bible is my favourite of your works... W: Thank you. M: And there's the missionary that goes to Africa, and out of his own conviction because of his own beliefs trying to do good, he brings injury and harm to the people he went there to help. W: Um-hmm. And he thinks he's so right, the whole way, while he's even...even while he's trying to speak in the Kukanga language of his...of the people he's trying to save. [4] He's making all kinds of mistakes, he's saying...He thinks he's saying Jesus is beloved, and actually he's saying Jesus is poisonwood. He's going to give you a really bad rash. The problem with communications, so often when we think we're right and someone else is wrong, it's a failure to express what we really mean. M: What's that "small wonder" that has been your raft across the sea of the last few months? W: Writing this book, of course, and looking more deeply into the sort of investigations that are at the heart of this book. I think the natural world holds a lot of answers for me. I was trained as a biologist, and so... M: You were a science writer for a while... W: I was...yes. Before that I was a scientist. I did research in population biology. And that's what I always go back to, it helps me to remember that people are not the end of the world, although we may be when it comes to it. [5] We're just one species among millions in this world. And our agendas—though they seem terribly important to us—are little scratches on the surface of this planet. M: OK. We will be right back with Barbara K. Don't go away.

Today we'll continue our discussion on communication skills. More specifically, in today's lecture, we are going to explore how to he a good conversationalist. To start with, let me tell you what a good conversationalist is like. [1]A great conversationalist is someone who connects with people and makes them feel important. In other words, when great conversationalists talk to you, they make you feel like you're the only person in the room. Becoming a good conversationalist requires knowing three things: first, how to start a conversation; second, how to keep it going; and third, how to end it. Starting a conversation usually means coming up with an opening line or ice-breaker. The best kind of ice-breakers is one that's positive. The last thing people want to hear from a stranger is how noisy the party is, how awful the food is, or how ugly the people are dressed. A compliment is always a good ice-breaker and will usually be appreciated. [2]Any news event is a good ice-breaker. I encourage all of you to read the newspaper because it's important to know what's going on in the world. The fact is, any opening line will do, as long as it's not negative, and as long as it's not too outdated. The best way to entice a person to have a conversation with you is by being sincere and respectful, [3]and letting them know that you are interested in talking to them. Once you've got a conversation going, the best way to keep it going is by asking the other person questions that don't require just a yes or no answer or questions which show genuine interest on your part. For example, if someone says, "I'm from Miami! ", you may respond with, "Oh, I've been to Miami! " and continue with, "How long have you lived there?" Then, "I was born there, and I've lived there all my life." You might say, "Is your family from Miami as well?" You keep asking questions based on the last thing a person says. This is called the "elaboration technique". [4]Choose questions that will get the other person to elaborate on what they're saying. Ask questions similar to those a reporter might ask to draw a person out: who, what, when, where, and why question. Once you lit on something you find interesting, keep asking questions in order to get the person to elaborate about the topic as much as possible. A good conversationalist elaborates on the experiences they've had. Instead of saying the party was fun, tell why it was fun. Describe why you had a good time -- who was there, what happened, where it was, and how people arranged the party. Go into detail. [5]Description is the best form of communication because it keeps people's interest up and stimulates 模考吧网提供最优质的模拟试题，最全的历年真题，最精准的预测押题～ 我们一直在努力做得更好～ 更多各种资格考试历年真题请访问 www.mokaoba.com them. Use words to create images and paint pictures so that the other person can get a visual as well as an auditory image of what you're describing to them. If you use the description effectively, you make the person feel as though they were actually there. In order to keep a conversation going, there are seven tips that can help you be an excellent communicator: 1. [6]Be aware of your body and facial language. Make good eye contact when you speak, and be physically expressive without being excessive. 2. Don't gossip. You run the risk of offending the person you're talking to. It also makes you look small-minded. 3. Cultivate a wide range of interests. 4. [7]Have a sense of humor. Everyone enjoys a humorous story or joke. Sexual and ethnic humor, however, are not worth the effects that the jokes may have on your total image. People may be offended, which may in turn reflect poor judgment on your part and may encourage them to think less of you. 5. Don't interrupt. People hate being interrupted. Fight the impulse to interrupt and give the person you're talking to the time they need to complete what they're saying to you. 6. [8]Be enthusiastic and positive. Don't be afraid to show enthusiasm. It allows the other person to feel that you're interested in what they're saying to you. 7. Be flexible in your point of view. Try to be as open as possible, and try to see things from the other person's point of view. If you've started a conversation with another person, and you axe having difficulty ending it, there are several signals you can send to the other person that will bring the conversation to its close without hurting anyone's feelings. [9]Breaking eye contact is a discreet signal that the conversation is about to end. [10]Another way to signal is to use transition words like "well" or "at any rate". You may want to summarize all that was said. Whatever you do, don't lie to the other person. If you're not interested in talking to them again, don't mention the possibility of a future meeting just to be polite. That's hypocritical. Instead, you may want to say, "Nice meeting you." And then, leave. But please note, before you leave, be sure to give the other person a good, firm handshake. The final impression you make can be just as important as the initial one you made. OK. To sum up, in today's lecture, we've covered three things that a good conversationalist has to know. That is, how to start a conversation; how to keep it going; and how to end it. Now before we end this lecture, any questions? 第2题 模考吧网提供最优质的模拟试题，最全的历年真题，最精准的预测押题～ 我们一直在努力做得更好～ 更多各种资格考试历年真题请访问 www.mokaoba.com 【正确答案】: 答案:news event 第3题 【正确答案】: 答案:interest 第4题 【正确答案】: 答案:detail 第5题 【正确答案】: 答案:Description 第6题 【正确答案】: 答案:body and facial 第7题 【正确答案】: 答案:humorous 第8题 【正确答案】: 答案:enthusiasm 第9题 【正确答案】: 答案:Break 第10题 【正确答案】: 答案:transition 第11题 Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs Abraham Maslow has developed a famous theory of human needs, which can be arranged in order of importance.

Today's lecture is about Abraham Maslow's hierarchy of needs. This seems like a psychological topic. Actually, it is something psychological. Abraham Maslow is a psychologist, and he's especially known for his theory of human needs. OK, first of all, what is a need? Here, we can simply define it as a personal requirement. Maslow believed that humans are "wanting" beings who seek 模考吧网提供最优质的模拟试题，最全的历年真题，最精准的预测押题～ 我们一直在努力做得更好～ 更多各种资格考试历年真题请访问 www.mokaoba.com to fulfill a variety of needs. According to his theory, these needs can be arranged in an order according to their importance. It is this order that has become known as Maslow's hierarchy of needs. In this hierarchy of needs, [1] at the most basic level are physiological needs. Fundamentally, humans are just one species of animal. We need to keep ourselves alive. Physiological needs are what we require for survival. These needs include food and water, shelter, and sleep. At this level, for us humans, Maslow also includes the need for clothing. How are these needs usually satisfied? It is mainly through adequate wages. Then, what is the next level of needs? [2] At the next level are safety needs, the things we require for physical and emotional security. Physical security is easy to understand. Everybody needs to keep his body safe from injury, illness, etc. Then, what is emotional security? Well, that may be the point in this hierarchy of needs where human beings begin to differ from other animals. We are thinking animals. We have worries: What if I lost my job? What if I were struck down by a severe disease? Besides physical security, we need to think we are safe from misfortunes both now and in the foreseeable future. How can these needs be met then? According to Maslow, [3] safety needs may be satisfied through job security, health insurance, pension plans, and safe working conditions. After this stage come the levels of needs that are particular to human beings. [4] The immediately following level are the social needs. Under this category, Maslow puts our [5] requirements for love and affection and a sense of belonging. We need to be loved. We need to belong to a group, not just a family, in which we can share with others a common interest. In Maslow's view, these needs can be satisfied through the work environment and some informal organizations. Certainly, we also need social relationships beyond the workplace, for example, with family and friends. Next, the level of esteem needs. What are esteem needs then? They include both the need of self-esteem and the need of esteem of others. Self-esteem is a sense of our own achievements and worth. We need to believe that we are successful, we are no worse, if no better than others. [6] The esteem of others is the respect and recognition we gain from other people, either through our work or our activities in other social groups. The ways to satisfy esteem needs include personal achievements, promotion to more responsible jobs, various honours and awards and other forms of recognition. [7] What follows is the top level of this hierarchy of needs. These are the self-realization needs. In other words, they are the needs to grow and develop as people, the needs to become all that we are capable of being. These are the most difficult needs to satisfy. Whether one can achieve this level or not perhaps determines whether one can be a great man or 模考吧网提供最优质的模拟试题，最全的历年真题，最精准的预测押题～ 我们一直在努力做得更好～ 更多各种资格考试历年真题请访问 www.mokaoba.com just an ordinary man. Of course, it depends on different people. The means of satisfying them tend to vary greatly with the individual. For some people, learning a new skill, starting a new career after retirement could quite well satisfy their self-realization needs. While for other people, it could be becoming "the best there is" in certain areas; it could be becoming the President of the IBM. [8] Anyway, being "great" or "ordinary" is what others think, while self-realization is largely individual. [9] Maslow suggested that people work to satisfy their physiological needs first, then their safety needs and so on up the "needs ladder". In general, they are motivated by the needs at the lowest level that remain unsatisfied. [10] However, needs at one level do not have to be completely satisfied before needs at the next higher level come into play. If the majority of a person's physiological and safety needs are satisfied, the person will be motivated primarily by social needs. But any physiological and safety needs that remain unsatisfied will keep playing an important role. OK, that's the general picture of Maslow's hierarchy of needs. Just to sum up, I've briefly introduced to you Maslow's theory. Maslow thinks there are five kinds of human needs, with each one being more important than the preceding one. I hope that you've found his ideas interesting, and in our next lecture we'll mainly discuss the practical implications of his theory.
