Part Ⅱ Listening Comprehension
1、Question 1 is based on the news report you have just heard.
A He wanted to buy a home.
B He suffered from a shock
C He lost a huge sum of money.
D He did an unusual good deed.
答案解析：
听力原文
(1) [A waiter has returned a check worth nearly $424,000 to a retired social worker who lost it.] The waiter found a bank envelope while cleaning off a table last Saturday at a restaurant. He ran outside, but the customer was gone. He opened the envelope and got a shock. After an unsuccessful search, the restaurant’s owner called the Daily News for help. The relieved customer was reunited with her check on Wednesday. It contained money from her apartment sale, already planned for a down payment on a new home. The customer did not tip the waiter after her meal. (2) [She tried to give him money later on, but he graciously declined.] The waiter, who’s working his way through school, did accept the customer’s apology and gratitude and said he was happy to have helped her.
1. What does the news report say about the waiter? （关于这位服务员，这篇新闻说了什么？）
解析：D。四个选项均为He的行为动作，听音时应多留意男士所遇到的情况。录音开头提到，服务员将高额支票还给了失主，也就是说他做了一件好事，因此D选项符合题意。
错项排除：录音中提到了买房，但说的是这位顾客打算用出售公寓所得的钱来付一套新房的首付款，即顾客要买房，并没有说服务员想要买房，故A项错误。做题时应注意B项中shock在不同语境下的具体含义，录音中提到了shock（惊吓），但说的是服务员在打开信封后，看到一张巨额支票而吓了一跳，并不是说他受到了惊吓，故B项错误。录音中提到，这名顾客在就餐后遗落了一个信封，里面有一张巨额支票，因此遗失了一大笔钱的是顾客，而不是服务员，故C项错误。
2、Question 2 is based on the news report you have just heard.
A Invite the waiter to a fancy dinner.
B Tell her story to the Daily News.
C Give some money to the waiter.
D Pay the waiter’s school tuition.

(2) [She tried to give him money later on, but he graciously declined.] The waiter, who’s working his way through school, did accept the customer’s apology and gratitude and said he was happy to have helped her.
2. What did the customer try to do when she got her check back?（当这名顾客拿回支票时，她打算做什么？）
解析：C。此题可用到视听一致作答。录音中提到，这名顾客在用餐结束后并没有付给这位服务员小费。后来她想要给他钱，但被对方婉言谢绝。C选项符合题意，其中的Give...money在录音中复现，为正确答案。
错项排除：录音中虽然提到restaurant，但说的是服务员在餐厅清理餐桌时发现了信封袋，“请服务员吃大餐”在录音中无根据，故排除A项。录音中提到了the Daily News，但说的是，在搜寻未果后，餐馆老板打电话给《每日新闻》寻求帮助，并不是说顾客要向《每日新闻》讲述她的故事，故排除B项。录音中提到这位服务员一直在勤工俭学，但并没有提到顾客要替这位服务员支付学费，故D项错误。
3、Question 3 is based on the news report you have just heard.
A Whether or not to move to the state’s mainland.
B How to keep the village from sinking into the sea.
C Where to get the funds for rebuilding their village.
D What to do about the rising level of the seawater.
答案解析：
听力原文
(3) [The village of Maref in Alaska voted on Tuesday to move to the state’s mainland.] The move is due to global warming and rising sea levels. Most of the village’s 169 registered voters took part in the town hall meeting. They decided in a vote of 89 to 78 to move from their land on Sarichef Island, near the Arctic Circle. Maref Council Secretary Donna Barr said the vote was largely symbolic. It will be costly financially to the community. “About 15 years ago, they estimated the cost at $180 million. I would figure it’s much higher now,” Barr said. (4) [“We don’t see the move happening in our lifetime because of the funding.”] The village’s roughly 650 residents have seen warming temperatures melt sea ice and permanently frozen land. This has resulted in houses falling into the water. At least 31 villages in Alaska face “immediate threats” due to climate change, the Government Accountability Office reported in 2009.
3. What is Maref’s vote on Tuesday about? （马廖夫村庄在周二的投票是关于什么的？）
解析：A。此题为开头出题，可用到视听一致原则作答。录音开头表示，周二，阿拉斯加的马廖夫村庄经投票决定，将迁往阿拉斯加大陆。A项符合题意，其中move to the state’s mainland在录音中复现，为正确答案。
错项排除：录音中提到，这次迁移的起因要是全球变暖和海平面上升，并没有说要投票决定如何防止村庄沉入海里，或是如何应对海平面上升，故B、D两项错误。录音中巴尔表示，由于资金的问题，我们在有生之年可能都无法看到迁移实现，但并没有说投票要决定如何筹集重建村庄的资金，故排除C项。
4、Question 4 is based on the news report you have just heard.
A It takes too long a time.
B It costs too much money.
C It has to wait for the state’s final approval.
D It faces strong opposition from many villagers.

4. Why did Donna Barr say they wouldn’t see the plan carried out any time soon?（唐娜·巴尔为什么说他们可能无法看到计划很快得以落实？）
解析：B。录音中巴尔表示，大约在15年前他们就估算过，迁移要花费1.8亿美元。现在的费用要高得多。由于资金的问题，我们在有生之年可能都无法看到迁移实现。B项符合题意，为正确答案。
错项排除：录音中没有提及迁移所需的时间以及是否需要最后的批准，故排除A项和C项。录音中提到，投票结果是89比78决定迁移，也就是说89票赞成、78票反对，的确有一些村民反对迁移，但并没有说迁移是因为村民的反对而不能实行，故D项错误。
5、Question 5 is based on the news report you have just heard.
A To investigate whether people are grateful for help.
B To see whether people hold doors open for strangers.
C To explore ways of inducing gratitude in people.
D To find out how people express gratitude.
答案解析：
听力原文
(5) [A man in Halifax, Canada, wanted to find out if people were thankful for someone holding the door open for them.] The social experiment showed that (7) [99 out of 100 people expressed gratitude.] “I didn’t think we were going to get 99. I don’t know why, but I was pleasantly surprised because it went beyond just ‘thank you’. People got into conversations with us,” said Steve Foran, CEO of Gratitude at Work. “What we know from research is that from grateful people come good things”, he said. “A simple way to induce gratitude in people is opening doors, (6) [and so we went to six places and opened the doors for people.]” For the experiment, Foran’s team went to a shopping centre, a mall, two office buildings, and a coffee shop. (6) [The door was held for 15 to 20 people at a time at each location.] “We did have one that didn’t say thank you. We’re not here to judge them because on any given day, that could be me or you. I suspect out of the 100 people, there were probably a bunch of them having a bad day, (7) [but grateful people make people grateful]”, said Foran.
5. What is the purpose of the social experiment?（这项社会实验的目的是什么？）
解析：A。此题可用到视听一致原则作答。录音开头说到，加拿大哈利法克斯的一名男子想知道人们是否会感谢帮他们扶门的人。他的社会实验显示，100人中有99人表示了感谢。因此社会实验的目的是调查人们是否会对获得的帮助表示感激，A选项符合题意。
错项排除：录音中提到，社会实验的内容是到不同地方为人们开门，但实验的目的并不是看看人们是否会帮陌生人扶门，故B项错误。录音中提到，引导人们感恩的一个简单方法就是帮他们开门，但这是实验的方法，并非实验目的，故C项错误。D项利用录音中的find out和expressed gratitude进行细节拼凑，但“表达感谢”只是大多数受试者的表现，没有提及人们表达感谢的方式，故排除。
6、Question 6 is based on the news report you have just heard.
A They induced strangers to talk with them.
B They helped 15 to 20 people in a bad mood.
C They held doors open for people at various places.
D They interviewed people who didn’t say thank you.
答案解析：

(5) [A man in Halifax, Canada, wanted to find out if people were thankful for someone holding the door open for them.] The social experiment showed that (7) [99 out of 100 people expressed gratitude.] “I didn’t think we were going to get 99.

I suspect out of the 100 people, there were probably a bunch of them having a bad day, (7) [but grateful people make people grateful]”, said Foran.
6. What did Steve Foran and his team do in the experiment?（史蒂夫·福伦和他的团队在实验中做了什么？）
解析：C。录音中福伦提到，引导人们感恩的一个简单方法就是帮他们开门。因此，我们去了6个地方，在那里帮人们开门。他们在每个地点都会为15到20个人扶门。即福伦和他的团队在不同地方为人们扶门，因此C选项符合题意，为正确答案。
错项排除：录音中福伦提到，这件事的意义已经超过了一句简单的谢谢，人们开始和我们交谈。由此可知，是人们主动和福伦的团队交谈，并非是福伦团队引导陌生人与他们交谈，故A项错误。B项利用录音中出现的15 to 20 people设置干扰，录音中提到，研究人员在每个地点都会为15到20个人扶门，但并没有说这些人心情不好，故B项排除。录音中福伦表示，他们确实遇到了一个不说“谢谢”的人，但并未提到他们采访了不表达谢意的人，故D项错误。
7、Question 7 is based on the news report you have just heard.
A People can be educated to be grateful.
B Most people express gratitude for help.
C Most people have bad days now and then.
D People are ungrateful when in a bad mood.

7. What do we learn from the news report? （我们从这篇新闻中能得出什么结论？）
解析：B。录音中提到，这项社会实验显示，100人中有99人对帮他们扶门的人表示了感谢，占了绝大多数，因此B项符合题意，为正确答案。
错项排除：录音中虽提到引导人们感恩的方法（A simple way to induce gratitude），但这只是在解释实验的方法，而实验的重点并不在于教育，故排除A项。C项利用录音中的having a bad day设置干扰，但这只是为了说明为什么会有少数人不说谢谢，没有提到大多数人会不会过得不顺心，故排除C项。D项中的ungrateful（不懂感恩）是对别人的臆断，与录音中“我们不会妄加论断”相悖，而且不说谢谢不代表不懂感恩，故排除D项。

8、Question 8 is based on the conversation you have just heard.
A To order a solar panel installation.
B To report a serious leak in his roof.
C To enquire about solar panel installations.
D To complain about the faulty solar panels.
答案解析：
听力原文
W: Rays Solar. Lisa speaking. How can I help?
M: Hi, my name is Winston. (8) [I wish to enquire about solar panel installations.]
W: Yes, what would you like to know?
M: Well, my neighbor installed panels on his roof about a year ago in order to power his hot water. He tells me it has saved him over $500 thus far. Does that sound about right to you?
W: Well, I’m not familiar with your neighbor or his particular setup, but that amount is definitely possible. I can tell you that the average four-bedroom house may typically have a roof with 50 square meters of surface area. Four panels on one side of that roof could save a family of four around $300 a year.
M: OK. That sounds about right then. My house is about the size you described, but my neighbor’s is bigger. I’m not sure how many panels he has up there, (9) [but he does have a large family of six.]
W: Are you interested in installing some solar panels on your roof, sir?
M: Yes, I’m considering it.
W: If you wish to come into our office, we could show you the different solutions we offer.
M: OK. I might do that. (10) [But just quickly, if you don’t mind, could you tell me approximately how much a typical installation costs, like, say, four panels?]
W: Prices do vary depending on different factors, but as a rough estimate, it’s around $2,000. But you know, (11) [a typical household will make back that initial investment in about five years.]
M: OK. I see. Thank you.
8. What is the man’s purpose for calling the woman? （男士给女士打电话的目的是什么？）
解析：C。此题可用到视听一致原则作答。录音开头男士明确表示想咨询一下太阳能电池板的安装情况，C项符合题意，enquire about solar panel installations在录音中复现，故为正确答案。
错项排除：录音中女士问男士是否有兴趣在屋顶上安装太阳能电池板，男士表示正在考虑，但这是女士向男士的提问，男士打电话的目的是了解太阳能电池板的信息，并非预约太阳能电池板安装服务，故排除A项。录音中并没有提到屋顶漏水或者太阳能电池板的故障问题，故排除B、D两项。
9、Question 9 is based on the conversation you have just heard.
A He plans to install solar panels.
B He owns a four-bedroom house.
C He saves $300 a year.
D He has a large family.

M: OK. I see. Thank you.
9. What do we learn about the man’s neighbor from the conversation?（通过对话，我们能了解到男士邻居的哪些信息？）
解析：D。此题可用到视听一致原则作答。录音中男士表示，他邻居的家要更大一些，他们是个大家庭，总共有六口人。因此D项符合题意，其中的has a large family在录音中复现，故为正确答案。
错项排除：录音中男士表示，他的邻居大约一年前在屋顶上安装了太阳能电池板，由此可知邻居已经安装了太阳能电池板，并非计划安装，故A项错误。录音中提到，邻居一家总共有六口人，但并没有说是几居室，而女士提到的四居室只是为举例说明安装电池板能节省多少钱，并不是邻居的情况，故B项错误。录音中男士提到，到目前为止，用太阳能电池板给热水器供电已经为他的邻居节省了500多美元，并非300美元，故排除C项。
10、Question 10 is based on the conversation you have just heard.

10. What is one of the man’s chief concerns? （男士主要关心的一点是什么？）
解析：B。此题可用到视听一致原则作答，需注意出题点在问句。录音中男士问女士常规安装大约需要多少钱，由此可知，男士关心的是安装太阳能电池板的费用，B项与录音内容一致，故为正确答案。
错项排除：录音中男士主要咨询的是太阳能电池板的节省情况以及相关费用，并未提及太阳能电池板公司的服务以及太阳能电池板的维护和质量问题，故排除A、C、D三项。

M: OK. I see. Thank you.
11. How long will it take a typical household to make back the initial investment?（一般来说一个家庭多长时间能收回成本？）
解析：D。此题可用到视听一致原则作答。录音结尾女士表示，一般来说一家在5年内就能收回成本。D项的About five years在录音中复现，为正确答案。
错项排除：录音中未出现“一年半”这一时间长度，排除A项。录音中出现的数字4指的是在屋顶的一侧安装4块电池板每年可以为一个四口之家节省大约300美元，出现的数字6指的是男士邻居一家总共有六口人，并没有说一个家庭不到四年或大约六年能收回成本，故排除B项和C项。

M: (12) [Good afternoon. Sorry to have kept you waiting. How can I help you?]
W: (12) [Oh, no problem. I’m interested in booking a holiday to Australia and wonder if you could tell me what deals you have.]
M: Sure. Are you only looking for flights or a package holiday with everything included?
W: When you say “everything”, what do you mean?
M: Well, a package holiday would include your flights, hotels, meals, day trips to different places of interest, and transport to and from the airport.
W: Yeah, that sounds pretty good. (13) [I’m going with my family, so it would be nice to have everything taken care of.] So what sort of deals do you have for package holidays then?
M: All sorts, really. How long do you want to go for and on what dates?
W: (14) [Two weeks around Christmas time would be great.]
M: Okay, let me check that for you. Here’s one. 14 nights in southeastern Australia—five nights in Sydney and five nights in Melbourne, and then for the other four nights, you can choose from a list of trips to other places nearby. You could visit Canberra, for example, or the Blue Mountains, or you could go for a drive down the Great Ocean Road. Also, if you’re interested in wine, you could go on a tour of the places where they grow grapes and make wine.
W: That sounds great. (15) [It’s good we can choose some activities ourselves.]
12. Where is the conversation taking place? （这段对话的地点是在哪里？）
解析：A。录音中女士表示想预订到澳大利亚的度假旅行，希望了解一下优惠活动，男士则问她是只想预定航班，还是想要一价全包的度假套餐。由此可知女士是在旅行社咨询相关业务，A项为正确答案。
错项排除：B项利用录音中出现的Australi和airport进行干扰，但录音中说的是女士想要到澳大利亚旅行，需要订机票，并不是说对话发生在一个澳大利亚的机场，故B项错误。机场的转机服务台和当地交通部门不提供旅行套餐的咨询服务，故排除C项和D项。

13. Why is the woman interested in package holidays? （女士为什么对度假套餐有兴趣？）
解析：C。录音中女士说自己要和家人一起去，所以如果一切都有人安排妥当的话就最好了。因此C项符合题意，其中have everything taken care of在录音中复现，为正确答案。
错项排除：录音中女士没有提到希望参观更多景点或尽可能省钱，故排除A项和B项。录音中女士只是说自己要和家人一起去，并未说自己要花更多时间陪伴家人，D项错误。

14. How long does the woman want to go for the holiday? （女士想要度假多久？）
解析：D。此题可用到视听一致原则作答。录音中男士问女士想在哪一天去以及打算去多久，女士回答圣诞节前后两个星期比较好。因此D选项符合题意，Two weeks在录音中复现，为正确答案。
错项排除：录音中提到四天这个时间，指的是男士提出的旅行计划中剩下的4个晚上，女士可以从附近可能去到的其他地方的行程列表中选择，并不是说女士要度假四天，排除A项。录音中提到五天这个时间，指的是在澳大利亚东南部住的14晚中包括在悉尼住5晚，在墨尔本住5晚，并非是说女士要度假五天，排除B项。录音中未提及一周这个时间，排除C项。

M: (12) [Good afternoon. Sorry to have kept you waiting. How can I help you?]
W: (12) [Oh, no problem. I’m interested in booking a holiday to Australia and wonder if you could tell me what deals you have.]
M: Sure. Are you only looking for flights or a package holiday with everything included?
W: When you say “everything”, what do you mean?
M: Well, a package holiday would include your flights, hotels, meals, day trips to different places of interest, and transport to and from the airport.
W: Yeah, that sounds pretty good. (13) [I’m going with my family, so it would be nice to have everything taken care of.] So what sort of deals do you have for package holidays then?
M: All sorts, really. How long do you want to go for and on what dates?
W: (14) [Two weeks around Christmas time would be great.]
M: Okay, let me check that for you. Here’s one. 14 nights in southeastern Australia—five nights in Sydney and five nights in Melbourne, and then for the other four nights, you can choose from a list of trips to other places nearby. You could visit Canberra, for example, or the Blue Mountains, or you could go for a drive down the Great Ocean Road. Also, if you’re interested in wine, you could go on a tour of the places where they grow grapes and make wine.
W: That sounds great. (15) [It’s good we can choose some activities ourselves.]
15. What does the woman say she likes about the holiday package?（女士说她喜欢度假套餐的哪一点？）
解析：A。此题可用到视听一致原则作答。录音中女士表示，套餐听起来很棒，有自己选择一部分活动的空间就很不错。因此女士喜欢的是套餐中能够自行选择一些活动，A项的Choosing some activities herself对应录音中的choose some activities ourselves，为正确答案。
错项排除：录音中提到圣诞节说的是女士想在圣诞节前后去澳大利亚旅行，并没有说可以和澳大利亚人共度圣诞节，故排除B项。沿大洋路开车兜风是男士给女士的建议，但女士并没有表示她对这个建议的态度，故排除C项。录音最后男士说到，如果女士对葡萄酒感兴趣，她可以去参观那些种植葡萄和酿酒的地方，因此D项也只是男士关于套餐中的活动给女士的建议，女士同样未对此表态，故排除D项。
Part Ⅱ Listening Comprehension
16、Question 16 is based on the passage you have just heard.
A Bring their own bags when shopping.
B Use public transport when traveling.
C Dispose of their trash properly.
D Pay a green tax upon arrival.
答案解析：
听力原文
(16) [Tourists taking a holiday in the Indonesian island of Bali are facing a new $14-per -person tax when they arrive on the holiday island from next year. But this is a green tax], which Bali Governor Wayan Koster has been working on for months, and which is designed to help clean up the island’s natural environment, and with good reason, too. Indonesia is drowning in plastics. (17) [Recycling is not one of the country’s strong points.] It’s not uncommon to be offered many more plastic bags than one could ever need when visiting supermarkets and shopping malls. But, slowly, things are starting to change for the better. Back in 2016, the medium-sized city of Banjarmasin banned single-use plastic bags. The city of Bogor followed suit in 2018. (18) [A few months ago, Koster announced a plan that would not only ban single-use plastic bags from supermarkets and convenience stores, but plastic bags and straws across the island.] The regulation will come into full effect next month. “We received a fast and quick response from the Balinese people. Not only positive responses from the Balinese, we received good responses from the central government, other local governments and even from overseas.” Koster told the Sydney Morning Herald this week during an interview. The governor is a determined environmentalist and he has more laws planned to protect the island’s waterways in particular, and to support the introduction of electric vehicles too.
16. What would tourists have to do when they visit Indonesia’s Bali Island?（到印度尼西亚巴厘岛度假的游客将需要做什么？）
解析：D。此题为开头出题，会用到视听一致和同义替换。录音开头说到，从明年起，到印度尼西亚巴厘岛度假的游客将面临每人14美元的新税。不过，这是一项环保税。由此可知，到印度尼西亚巴厘岛度假的游客将要缴纳一项环保税。D项符合题意，其中的关键词green tax在录音中复现，upon arrival对应录音中的when they arrive，为正确答案。
错项排除：录音中间部分提到，几个月前，考斯特宣布了一项计划，不仅禁止超市和便利店使用一次性塑料袋，还在全岛范围内禁止使用塑料袋和吸管，但并没有说游客需要自带购物袋，排除A项。录音中并未提到游客需要乘坐公共交通工具或是需要妥善处理他们的垃圾，排除B、C两项。
17、Question 17 is based on the passage you have just heard.
A It has not been doing a good job in recycling.
B It has witnessed a rise in accidental drowning.
C It has not attracted many tourists in recent years.
D It has experienced an overall decline in air quality.

17. What does the passage say about Indonesia?（关于印度尼西亚，这篇文章说了什么？）
解析：A。此题会用到视听一致和同义替换。录音中提到，回收利用并不是印度尼西亚这个国家的强项。因此A项符合题意，其中的recycling为原词复现，not been doing a good job是对录音中not one of the country’s strong points的同义替换，故A项为正确答案。
错项排除：B项利用录音中提到的drowning作干扰，但录音中说的是印度尼西亚正逐渐被塑料品淹没（Indonesia is drowning in plastics），并非是在说溺水事件，故B项错误。录音中并没有提及印度尼西亚对游客的吸引力以及空气质量的问题，排除C和D项。
18、Question 18 is based on the passage you have just heard.
A To charge a small fee on plastic products in supermarkets.
B To ban single-use plastic bags and straws on Bali island.
C To promote the use of paper bags for shopping.

18. What is the new plan Governor Koster recently announced?（考斯特省长最近宣布了什么新计划？）
解析：B。此题会用到视听一致原则。录音中提到，几个月前，考斯特宣布了一项计划，不仅禁止超市和便利店使用一次性塑料袋，还在全岛范围内禁止使用塑料袋和吸管。因此B项符合题意，其中的ban single-use plastic bags、straws和Bali island均为原词复现，为正确答案。
错项排除：录音中提到在巴厘岛禁用一次性塑料袋，但并未提到要对超市的塑料制品收取一小部分费用或是推广使用纸袋购物，故排除A项和C项。录音中未提及对乱扔垃圾的人处以罚款，排除D项。
19、Question 19 is based on the passage you have just heard.
A It gives birth to several babies at a time.
B It is the least protected mammal species.
C Its breeding grounds are now better preserved.
D Its population is now showing signs of increase.
答案解析：
听力原文
(19) [An endangered species of whale is experiencing a small baby boom off the coast of America.] The North Atlantic right whale is one of the rarest species of whale on the planet, numbering only about 411. But the Center for Coastal Studies said Friday that its aerial survey team spotted a mum with two babies in Cape Cod Bay a day earlier. That brings the number seen in nearby waters alone this year to three. That’s big news because the whale population has been falling, and no baby whales were seen last year. In all, seven baby whales have been spotted so far this year. (20) [The whale population has become endangered due to commercial whaling activities in recent years.] This is because they are sometimes hunted for their meat or their skin. Over-hunting could lead to the disappearance of the whale population, possibly causing major problems to the global food chain. (21) [The whales give birth off the southeast coast of America in the winter and travel to feeding grounds off the northeast coast in the early spring.] The northeast coast is a critically important source of food. The animals often feed close to shore. This provides watchers on land with “unbeatable views of one of the rarest of marine mammals.” It’s illegal to get within 1,500 feet of the animals without a federal research permit, so whale watchers are discouraged from attempting to get close to the whales.
19. What do we learn from the passage about the North Atlantic right whale?（关于北大西洋露脊鲸，我们可以从文章中了解到什么？）
解析：D。此题为录音开头出题，考察句意理解。录音开头提到，一种濒临灭绝的鲸鱼（北大西洋露脊鲸）正在美国海岸附近经历一次小规模的生育潮。因此D项符合题意，Its population is now showing signs of increase是对录音中experiencing a small baby boom的同义替换，为正确答案。
错项排除：A项利用录音中的give birth和babies作干扰，但录音中只说到了露脊鲸的分娩地，没有提到露脊鲸一次性可产几头幼鲸，A项属于主观臆断，排除。录音中只提到露脊鲸是地球上最稀有的物种之一（one of the rarest species of whale），未提及它是最缺乏保护的哺乳类动物，排除B项。录音中未提及露脊鲸的繁衍地是否得到了更好的保护，排除C项。
20、Question 20 is based on the passage you have just heard.
A Global warming.
B Polluted seawater.
C Commercial hunting.
D Decreasing birthrates.

20. What has caused the decline of the whale population in recent years?（近年来，是什么导致了鲸鱼数量的减少？）
解析：C。此题可用到视听一致和同义替换。录音中提到，由于近年来的商业捕鲸活动，鲸鱼（北大西洋露脊鲸）的数量已经濒临灭绝。因此C项符合题意，Commercial hunting是对录音中commercial whaling activities的同义替换，为正确答案。
错项排除：录音中没有提到全球变暖或海水污染的问题，排除A和B项。录音开头说到，一种濒临灭绝的鲸鱼（北大西洋露脊鲸）正在美国海岸附近经历一次小规模的生育潮，可知鲸鱼并非由于出生率下降而濒临灭绝，D项错误。
21、Question 21 is based on the passage you have just heard.

21. Why do the whales travel to the northeast coast of America in the early spring?（鲸鱼为什么在早春时节游向美国东北海岸？）
解析：B。录音中说到，鲸鱼冬天在美国东南海岸分娩，早春时游到美国东北海岸觅食。因此B项正确，To look for food对应录音中的feeding grounds，为正确答案。
错项排除：录音中没有提到鲸鱼是为了交配或躲避捕猎者而前往美国东北海岸，排除A项和C项。录音中提到，鲸鱼冬天在美国东南海岸分娩，并非东北海岸，D项错误。
22、Question 22 is based on the passage you have just heard.
A They prefer to drink low-fat milk.
B They think milk is good for health.
C They consume less milk these days.
D They buy more milk than the British.
答案解析：
听力原文
An average person consumes 144 pints of milk a year, but 40% of that is poured onto cereal, and 60% of those people are children. But what was once advertised as nutritious is becoming unpopular. (22) [Americans drink 37% less milk than they did in the 1970s.] And in the UK, dairy consumption overall has fallen by a third in the past 20 years. (23) [Milk is increasingly being described in a negative light. A recent blog suggested: “Maybe people are drinking less milk because it is poisonous to many of us.”] Lactose is the sugar found in milk and dairy products. (24) [It needs a series of complex proteins to break it down. Without enough of these proteins, the lactose is broken down by bacteria in the human body. This can cause physical pain and produce gas in the stomach.] However, after we have finished breast or formula feeding, most of us don’t continue producing the complex proteins in our body, which are necessary to break down the lactose. Despite the problems in digesting milk, it does provide many benefits. (25) [Milk is nutritious. It contains vitamins A and D, as well as protein and isn’t full of calories.] You can test yourself by drinking a large glass of milk. If you get sick in your stomach within the next 24 hours, you are lacking the proteins to digest milk.
22. What does the passage say about Americans? （关于美国人，这篇文章说了什么？）
解析：C。此题可用到视听一致和同义替换。录音中提到，与上世纪70年代相比，美国人的牛奶饮用量减少了37%。因此C项符合题意，其中less milk为原词复现，关键词consume对应录音中的drink，为正确答案。
错项排除：录音中并没有提到低脂牛奶，排除A项。录音中提到人们曾经因为牛奶营养丰富而对其进行广泛宣传，但现在人们喝的牛奶少了，并且越来越多地从负面角度来形容牛奶，B项与此内容相悖，故排除。录音中提到，与上世纪70年代相比，美国人的牛奶饮用量减少了37%。而在英国，乳制品的总消耗量在过去20年里下降了三分之一，并没有对比英国人和美国人谁买的牛奶更多，D项错误。
23、Question 23 is based on the passage you have just heard.
A It is not as healthy as once thought.
B It is not easy to stay fresh for long.
C It benefits the elderly more.
D It tends to make people fat.

23. How do Americans and British people think of milk nowadays?（美国人和英国人如今对牛奶的看法是什么？）
解析：A。录音中说到，英国人和美国人喝的牛奶减少，人们越来越多地从负面的角度来形容牛奶。最近的一篇博客指出，也许人们喝牛奶变少的原因是牛奶会对我们很多人的身体造成损害。A项It is not as healthy as once thought是对此内容的概括总结，为正确答案。
错项排除：录音中没有提到牛奶保鲜和牛奶对老年人的益处等相关信息，排除B项和C项。录音中提到，牛奶热量不高，也就是说牛奶并不易使人发胖，D项错误。
24、Question 24 is based on the passage you have just heard.

24. Why does drinking milk cause pain in some people? （为什么喝牛奶会使一些人身体疼痛？）
解析：C。录音中提到，如果人体内分解乳糖的蛋白质含量不足，乳糖就会被人体中的细菌分解。这会引起身体疼痛，并导致胃胀气。由此可知，一些人喝牛奶后身体疼痛是由于缺乏相关蛋白质，C项符合题意，其中的lack...proteins对应录音中的Without enough of these proteins，to digest it对应to break it down，故C项为正确答案。
错项排除：录音中没有提到牛奶饮用量对人体的影响或牛奶中的矿物质，同样也没有提到与牛奶相克的食物，故排除A、B、D三项。
25、Question 25 is based on the passage you have just heard.
A It is easier for sick people to digest.
B It provides some necessary nutrients.
C It is healthier than other animal products.
D It supplies the body with enough calories.

解析：B。录音中提到，牛奶很有营养，含有维生素A、维生素D和蛋白质，因此B项是对此内容的概括总结，为正确答案。
错项排除：录音中表示，然而，在结束母乳喂养或配方奶粉喂养后，大多数人体内都不会继续再产生分解乳糖所必需的复杂蛋白质。因此牛奶并不易被人体消化，A项错误。录音中并未将牛奶与其他动物制品相比较，C项错误。录音最后提到，牛奶热量不高，未提到它是否可以为人体提供充足能量，D项错误。
