答案解析：
听力原文
France is facing potentially more than one billion dollars in lost revenue this year due to huge declines in tourism. (1) Safety concerns have been one of the biggest reasons why the country has lost over half a billion in revenue already in the first six months of 2016. The terror attacks in Paris last November were called Europe’s worst in the past decade. Besides violence, workers’ strikes and heavy floods are said to have also been why international tourists have stayed away. So far in the Paris region, there’s been a 46% decline in Japanese visitors, 35% fewer Russians and 27% fewer Italians. American travelers seem the least affected—their numbers have only dropped by roughly 5%. (2) According to the French government, the country is the number one tourist destination in the world, and tourism is extremely important to the French economy. The sector represents roughly 9% of its GDP. The head of Paris’ Tourism Board said, “It’s time to realize that the tourism sector is going through an industrial disaster.”
1. What accounts most for the huge declines in tourism in France?
解析：B。根据录音前两句可知，由于旅游业的下滑，法国正面临着超过10亿美元的经济损失。安全问题是导致2016年上半年国家财政收入下滑的最主要原因之一，故B选项为正确答案。C选项在录音中没有提及，A、D选项是除了安全问题之外的原因，并不是主要原因，故均可排除。
2、Question 2 is based on the news report you have just heard.
A It is competitive with its numerous tourist destinations.
B It provides many job opportunities for French people.
C It is the biggest concern of the French government.
D It plays an important role in the nation’s economy.

The sector represents roughly 9% of its GDP. The head of Paris’ Tourism Board said, “It’s time to realize that the tourism sector is going through an industrial disaster.”
2. What do we learn from the report about tourism in France?
解析：D。根据录音后半部分可知，法国是世界著名的旅游胜地，旅游业对法国经济来说至关重要。D项是对录音内容的同义转述。录音中只是提到法国是世界第一大旅游目的地（the number one tourist destinations），并没有提到法国是否有很多旅游景点，故A选项错误。B项、C项未提及，故两项均可排除。
3、Question 3 is based on the news report you have just heard.
A To carry out a scientific survey.
B To establish a new research station.
C To rescue two sick American workers.
D To deliver urgent medical supplies.
答案解析：
听力原文
(3) A small plane with two sick U.S. workers arrived safely in Chile late Wednesday after leaving Antarctica in a daring rescue mission from a remote South Pole research station. After making a stop for a few hours at a British station on the edge of Antarctica, the two workers were flown to the southernmost Chilean city of Punta Arenas. In a chaotic two days of flying, the rescue team flew 3,000 miles round-trip from the British station Rothera to pick up the workers at the U.S. Amundsen-Scott Station at the South Pole. “The two patients aboard will be transported to a medical facility that can provide a level of care that is not available at Amundsen-Scott,” says a spokesperson. (4) Normally, planes don’t go to the polar post from February to October because of the dangers of flying in the pitch-dark and cold. “Antarctica creates a hostile environment,” says the operations director for the British Antarctic Survey. “If you are not careful, it’ll come around and bite you.”
3. What was the small plane’s mission to Antarctica?
解析：C。根据录音开始可知，一架载有两名患病美国工作人员的小型飞机在冒险执行救援任务后，从南极一个偏远研究站出发，于星期三晚间安全抵达智利。C选项中的two sick American workers是对录音中two sick U.S. workers的同义替换，故正确答案为C。A、B、D项在录音中均未提及，故排除。
4、Question 4 is based on the news report you have just heard.
A The darkness and cold.
B The heavy snow and fog.
C The biting winds.
D The ice all around.

4. What makes flying to Antarctica dangerous from February to October?
解析：A。根据录音后半部分可知，通常飞机在二到十月份不会飞往极地，因为在漆黑和寒冷的状态下飞行是很危险的，A项与录音信息一致，故正确。B、C、D项未提及，故排除。
5、Question 5 is based on the news report you have just heard.
A By tying it to a door handle.
B By shaking it back and forth.
C With a remote control craft.
D With a full-sized helicopter.
答案解析：
听力原文
(5) A pilot from Virginia removed his son’s loose tooth using a helicopter. Rick Rahim, from Virginia, flies helicopters for a living, and when his seven-year-old son’s tooth became loose he did not waste time by tying it to a door handle. Instead, Mr. Rahim tied one end of a string around his son’s tooth, and the other end to his full-sized commercial helicopter. (7) The father of four posted a video clip of his playful venture on Facebook, advising parents to do fun and creative stuff with their kids. The video shows him launching the helicopter into the air and flying just far enough to successfully remove the loose tooth. (6) At the end of the video, Mr. Rahim assures watchers that the circumstances were safe, and that he has 13 years of helicopter flying experience behind him. “You’ve got to do everything safe in life, and that’s what I did today,” he said. Mr. Rahim later said that although some parents have used remote control helicopters to pull teeth before, he might be the first to use a full-sized aircraft, as he can’t find evidence that it has been done before.
5. How did Rick Rahim remove his son’s loose tooth?
解析：D。根据录音开头可知，来自弗吉尼亚的里克·拉希姆用一架直升飞机拔去了他儿子松动的牙齿。A项与录音意思相反（did not waste time by …）。B选项未提及。C项是录音中其他父母做过的事。里克·拉希姆所做的是第一次使用一架全尺寸的直升机，所以D项正确。
6、Question 6 is based on the news report you have just heard.
A He has lots of fans on Facebook.
B He has rich experience in flying.
C He often suffers from toothaches.
D He has learned to pull teeth from a video.

6. What does the news reports say about Rick Rahim?
解析：B。根据录音后半部分可知，拉希姆先生向视频观看者保证飞行环境很安全，而且他有13年的飞行经验。B项的rich experience in flying对应文章中的13 years of helicopter flying experience，故正确答案是B。文中只是说里克·拉希姆将视频放在了脸书上，并未说他在脸书上有很多粉丝，故排除A项。C、D项在文中均未提及，故排除。
7、Question 7 is based on the news report you have just heard.
A Spend more time together.
B Tell them adventure stories.
C Do something fun and creative.
D Play with them in a safe place.

7. What did Rick Rahim advise parents to do with their kids?
解析：C。根据录音可知，在里克·拉希姆发布在脸书上的趣味性的冒险视频里，他建议父母和他们的孩子一起做一些既有趣又有创意的事情。C项与录音信息一致，故选C。文中说进行一些有趣的冒险，并不是讲冒险故事，故排除B项。A项在文中未提及，故排除。D项利用safe作干扰，原文提及任何事情都要保证安全第一，但这并非是里克·拉希姆对其他父母的建议，故排除。

8、Question 8 is based on the conversation you have just heard.
A To confirm an urgent appointment.
B To collect a package from the woman.
C To ask the woman to sign a document.
D To arrange the delivery of a package.
答案解析：
听力原文
W: Hi, Emma’s speaking. Who’s this?
M: (8) Hi, Emma, I’m Paul from Hermes Delivery Service. Here’s a package for you. Are you at home to collect it?
W: (9) Oh, sorry, Paul. I’m out at the moment. Can you put it in my mailbox?
M: I’m afraid I can’t do that, sorry. The package is too big, and it needs a signature to confirm you have received it. So I would need to deliver it at a time when you’re in.
W: (9) Okay, well. I’m out all day today, but I should be in tomorrow morning before I go out for lunch. And then I’ll be at home again later in the afternoon. Will either of those times be convenient for you?
M: (10) They’re not, unfortunately. I’m sorry. I won’t be in the area tomorrow as I have some other deliveries to make on the other side of town. I could come the day after, if that suits you.
W: Okay, yes. That should be fine. I have a friend coming round in the afternoon, but I’ll be at home. So the day after tomorrow will be great. Do I need to pay for the package?
M: No, you don’t. It says here that you paid for it when you ordered it online.
W: Oh yes, I did. I got mixed up.
M: (11) So you just need to sign the form to say you’ve received it.
W: Okay, great. See you the day after tomorrow then.
M: Yes. See you then.
8. Why is the man making the phone call?
解析：D。根据录音可知，男士是爱马仕物流服务中心的工作人员，要为艾玛派送快递，他想要确认艾玛是否在家以便签收，D项与录音意思相符。录音中只是确认一下艾玛是否在家，并不是确认一个紧急约会，所以排除A项。录音中是让女士签收快递，而不是从女士那里取包裹，故排除B项。录音中只是提到需要女士签字确认收货，没有提及签文件，故C项错误。

9. Why can’t the woman meet the man today?
解析：C。根据录音可知，女士现在不在家，并且一整天都不在家，所以选C。文中只提到女士今天不在家，没有指出女士今天要去做什么，故排除B项。A、D项在文中都未提及，故排除。
10、Question 10 is based on the conversation you have just heard.

11. What should the woman do to receive her purchase?
解析：A。根据录音结尾可知，女士已经为包裹付过款了，只需要签名表示已收到即可，A项符合文意。B选项中的Confirm在录音中指需要女士签字确认，并非网上确认，故错误。录音中男士指出，女士在网上下单时已付过钱了，不需要再次付钱，故C选项错误。录音中指出，需要女士本人签收，即不只是本人到场，还需要女士签字，故D选项错误。

W: I’m not sure. I’m leaving in just two more days, and I’m going to miss all my friends here and especially this place. Why don’t you come over? (13) I’m feeling rather sad actually. I’m currently sitting alone at a table outside the Black Cat Cafe, listening to the rain and watching people passing by.
M: I am sorry. I can’t just now. (14) I need to get this assignment finished by Monday, and I’m way behind. Anyhow, cheer up! You’re not leaving for good. And you’ll absolutely love Italy.
W: Yeah, you’re right. But I just feel like I’m not quite ready to go. (12) And studying in a foreign country seems a bit overwhelming.
M: Just think of your life in Milan. In the mornings, you can go down to a small local cafe, soaking up the sun’s rays and drinking coffee. I envy you. You can buy lots of gorgeous Italian clothes.
W: That does sound nice. And of course I can keep in touch with everyone through Facebook. Maybe you can all come visit me.
M: Of course we will. When is your flight?
W: On Saturday, after lunch, at 1:45.
M: Okay, (15) I’ll try and come to the airport on Saturday to see you off. I’ll give you a call that morning, no matter what.
12. What is the woman going to do?
解析：B。录音中男士提到，听说女士要前往意大利，在之后的录音中女士提到在国外学习似乎压力很大，可知女士是去意大利学习。A项干扰性较大，但录音并未提及度假，故排除。C项是男士的建议，并不是女士打算做的事情，故排除。录音只提到在米兰生活，并未提及去看时装秀，故排除D。

16、Question 16 is based on the passage you have just heard.
A It has kept growing over the centuries.
B Its top is hidden in clouds of volcanic smoke.
C Its height changes with each volcanic eruption.
D It has a recorded history of 1500 years.
答案解析：
听力原文
Mount Etna is one of the most active volcanoes on Earth. The mountain has been in a state of near continuous eruption for half a million years. Exploring the Etna geographical area reveals a history written in fire. Before the eruptions, it was covered by forests of pine trees. Located in southern Italy, Etna is the highest active volcano in Europe. (16) However, its height often changes when volcanic material accumulates during eruptions and subsequently collapses.
Few volcanoes in the world have an eruption history so thoroughly documented by historical records. Etna’s eruption history dates back as far as 1500 BC. Some 200 eruptions have been recorded down through the centuries, but compared with other volcanoes, most of its eruptions have so far been fairly light in terms of death and destruction. Only about 100 deaths have been attributed to the volcano. The mountain hasn’t been entirely harmless, however. In 1928, it destroyed the town of Mascali.
(17) Over the centuries, Etna’s lowest slopes have been shaped by human hands to take advantage of rich soils for growing grapes, apples and nuts. Local people have also carved out over 200 caves in the soft rock, and used them for everything from sacred burial places to food storage. Large mammals once wandered the volcano’s slopes, but today, foxes, wild cats, rabbits and mice are more common. (18) Some of those small mammals help to sustain such big birds as golden eagles.
16. What does the speakers say about Mount Etna?
解析：C。根据录音可知，埃特纳火山爆发时形成的火山物质堆积和之后的坍塌都使埃特纳火山的高度发生变化，C项与文意相符。录音中说到埃特纳火山爆发的历史可以追溯到公元前1500年，并不是说它有1500年记载的历史，故排除D项。A、B项在文中没有提及，故排除。
17、Question 17 is based on the passage you have just heard.
A They are now a tourist destination.
B They attract a lot of migrating birds.
C They provide shelter for the farmers.
D They make good fields for farming.

Local people have also carved out over 200 caves in the soft rock, and used them for everything from sacred burial places to food storage. Large mammals once wandered the volcano’s slopes, but today, foxes, wild cats, rabbits and mice are more common. (18) Some of those small mammals help to sustain such big birds as golden eagles.
17. What do we learn about the lower slopes of Mount Etna?
解析：D。根据录音可知，几个世纪以来，人们塑造了埃特纳火山地势最低的山坡，以利用肥沃的土壤来种植葡萄、苹果和坚果。D项中的make good fields for farming 是对录音信息的同义转述。录音中说当地农民在一些岩质较软的地方开凿山洞用来储藏物品或是作为墓葬，但并没有说用来居住，所以排除C项。A、B项未提及，故排除。
18、Question 18 is based on the passage you have just heard.
A They nest on the volcano’s slopes.
B They feed on certain small mammals.
C They compete with each other for food.
D They match large mammals in strength.

听力原文
Mount Etna is one of the most active volcanoes on Earth. The mountain has been in a state of near continuous eruption for half a million years. Exploring the Etna geographical area reveals a history written in fire. Before the eruptions, it was covered by forests of pine trees. Located in southern Italy, Etna is the highest active volcano in Europe. (16) However, its height often changes when volcanic material accumulates during eruptions and subsequently collapses.
Few volcanoes in the world have an eruption history so thoroughly documented by historical records. Etna’s eruption history dates back as far as 1500 BC. Some 200 eruptions have been recorded down through the centuries, but compared with other volcanoes, most of its eruptions have so far been fairly light in terms of death and destruction. Only about 100 deaths have been attributed to the volcano. The mountain hasn’t been entirely harmless, however. In 1928, it destroyed the town of Mascali.
(17) Over the centuries, Etna’s lowest slopes have been shaped by human hands to take advantage of rich soils for growing grapes, apples and nuts. Local people have also carved out over 200 caves in the soft rock, and used them for everything from sacred burial places to food storage. Large mammals once wandered the volcano’s slopes, but today, foxes, wild cats, rabbits and mice are more common. (18) Some of those small mammals help to sustain such big birds as golden eagles.
18. What does the speaker say about big birds like golden eagles at Mount Etna?
解析：B。根据录音结尾可知，一些小型哺乳动物可供金雕等大型鸟类捕食。B选项与文意相符。A、C、D项内容均未提及，故排除。
19、Question 19 is based on the passage you have just heard.
A He is self-employed.
B He is a career advisor.
C He studies talent.
D He owns a magazine.
答案解析：
听力原文
My name is Brandon Leonard, and I’m an author, magazine writer, filmmaker and public speaker. (19) I’m self-employed, which means I work for myself and I do what I love. We have a popular saying in America which goes, “Do what you love, and you’ll never work a day in your life.” (20) But I’m here to tell you that instead of focusing on doing what we love, I think we should focus on loving what we do.
In my line of work, you’ll hear a lot about talent, which is an idea we mostly invented to give ourselves an excuse to be lazy. Here’s why: if you see someone doing something really well, you would say it’s because they are talented. You think they are somehow special. You discount the tremendous amount of work they’ve done to get to where they are.
(21) Research has shown that talent is nothing without hard work. I choose to believe in hard work, but not so much in talent. There are no special people, just people who put in enough hard work until something special happens. I can promise you one thing: whatever you choose to do for a career, if you work hard at it, eventually special things will happen. They may not happen as quickly as you’d like them to, and they may turn out to be completely different from the special things you imagined at the beginning, but they will happen.
19. What do we learn about the speaker?
解析：A。根据录音开头，讲话者自我介绍时提及自己是自由职业者，A项的self-employed是原词复现，故为正确答案。录音中讲话人虽然给出了一些建议，但并不能说他是一个职业顾问，B项属于过度推断，故错误。录音中只是提及讲话人工作中会经常提到天赋这个词，无法凭此确定天赋是讲话人的研究内容，故C选项错误。讲话人只是提到自己是杂志作者，并不是拥有一家杂志公司，故D选项错误。
20、Question 20 is based on the passage you have just heard.
A Doing what they like best.
B Loving the work they do.
C Making no excuses for failures.
D Following their natural instinct.

20. What is the speaker’s advice to his audience?
解析：B。根据录音可知，讲话者认为我们更应该去喜欢我们所做的事，而不是专注于做我们喜欢做的事，B项与录音信息相符。A项与录音信息相反。C、D项未提及，故均可排除。
21、Question 21 is based on the passage you have just heard.

21. What does the speaker say about talent?
解析：A。根据录音可知，研究表明，如果不努力，天分什么也不是。讲话者选择相信努力而不是天分，A项符合文意。录音中指出，世上没有特别的人，只有那些付出足够努力，使特殊的事发生的人，并不是说只有特殊的事发生才会有天分，所以排除D项。B、C项均未提及，故排除。
22、Question 22 is based on the passage you have just heard.
A It is a bit difficult to learn.
B It was popular in New Zealand.
C It is a traditional type of ballet.
D It evolved in the mid-1970s.
答案解析：
听力原文
A question we often ask others and are also frequently asked by others is “What do you normally do after school or work?” Some commonplace answers are, “Well, I go to the gym.” “Um, I just go home and watch TV.” “I meet my friends for dinner.” or “I just go to bed because it’s so late and I’m tired.” Unlike any of these typical responses, I’m proud to say that I love to dance salsa after a long and tiring day of work.
(22) Salsa is a kind of dancing that evolved in the mid-1970s in New York. (23) My dancing life began not because I wanted to do it, but because my mother was sick and tired of seeing me running around after school doing nothing. So she enrolled me into a ballet course when I was six. I fell in love with it instantly and continued with ballet dancing for about ten years. (24) Then, I left my native country of New Zealand to start my career as an English teacher, which eventually brought my dancing life to a halt. It wasn’t until I rediscovered salsa in a lovely studio while working in Asia that I renewed my passion for dancing. Since then, I have been trying to attend dancing classes twice a week after work. (25) It’s a great way for me to relieve stress and pressure and dance my way towards feeling energetic and happy again.
22. What does the speaker say about the dance salsa?
解析：D。根据录音可知，萨尔萨舞是在20世纪70代中期逐渐发展起来的，D项是原词重现。A、B、C项在录音中没有提到，故排除。
23、Question 23 is based on the passage you have just heard.
A She wanted her to be a ballet dancer.
B She used to be a ballet dancer herself.
C She hated to see her idling about.
D She was too busy to look after her.

23. Why did the speaker’s mother enroll her in a ballet course?
解析：C。根据录音可知，作者开始跳舞不是因为自己想要跳舞，而是因为作者的妈妈不想看到作者在放学后无所事事，到处瞎跑。C项中的idling about是对录音中doing nothing, running around的同义替换，为正确答案。其他三项在录音中均未提及，故排除。
24、Question 24 is based on the passage you have just heard.

24. When did the speaker’s dancing life come to a halt?
解析：A。根据录音可知，作者后来离开了自己的祖国新西兰，成为了一名英文教师，这件事暂时中断了作者的舞蹈生涯，A项与此相符，因此选择A项。录音中说作者的祖国是新西兰，并非是去新西兰，故B选项错误。录音中并未提及作者移居纽约，故C项排除。D项在录音中未提及。
25、Question 25 is based on the passage you have just heard.
A It has renewed her passion for life.
B It has made her happy and energetic.

25. In what way has salsa dancing benefited the speaker?
解析：B。根据录音结尾可知，对于作者来说萨尔萨舞帮助作者缓解了压力，同时又让讲话者充满活力和快乐。B项符合文意。录音中提到萨尔萨舞使作者重拾对跳舞的热情，而非对生活的热情，故A选项错误。C、D项在录音中未提及，故排除。
