一、Part Ⅱ Listening Comprehension
1、Question 1 is based on the news report you have just heard.
A、How college students can handle their psychological problems.
B、Why college students are more likely to have stress problems.
C、Why sufficient sleep is important for college students.
D、How college students can improve their sleep habits.
解析:
News Report One
You probably think college students are experts at sleeping, but parties, preparations for tests, personal problems and general stress can wreck a student’s sleep habits, which can be bad for the body and the mind. Texas Tech Universityis even offering a class called “Improving Your Sleep Habits”. People suffering from sleep loss are at an increased risk from obesity, psychological problems and car crashes. Students who don’t get enough sleep have poorer attendance and lower grades. On top of all that, (2)a new study published in the journal Learning and Memory finds you are probably better off sleeping than making last-minute preparations for a test. Two hundred college kids were taught to play some unfamiliar video games. Subjects who learned the games in the morning lost some skills when they played again 12 hours later, (1)but they did much better after getting a good night’s sleep. So if you really want to do your job well, don’t forget to get some sleep.
1. What is the news report mainly about?
本道题属于主旨大意题。从原文前半部分我们大概能听出来这是一篇关于睡眠对学生的影响的报道,最后一句话也点出报道主题,想要工作更出色就需要睡眠。文中重点强调的是睡眠的重要性而不是如何改善睡眠习惯,故正确答案为 C。
2、Question 2 is based on the news report you have just heard.
A、It is not easy to improve one’s sleep habits.
B、 It is not good for students to play video games.
C、Making last-minute preparations for tests may be less effective than sleeping.
D、Students who are better prepared generally get higher scores in examinations.

本道题属于细节题。考点出自原文“you are probably better off sleeping than making last-minute preparations for a test”一句。选项 C)Making last-minute preparations for tests may be less effective than sleeping,改变了一些表达方式,但说的还是新的研究结果,即考前睡得好比临阵磨枪更有效,故正确答案为 C。
3、Question 3 is based on the news report you have just heard.
A、Whether adequate investment is being made to improve airport facilities.
B、Whether the British Airports Authority should sell off some of its assets.
C、Whether the Spanish company could offer better service.
D、Whether more airports should be built around London.
解析:
News Report Two
Long queues, delayed flights and overcrowding at airports have become almost as much a topic for conversation in Britain as the traditional complaining about the weather. Meanwhile there are complaints that poor service in London’s major airports is discouraging foreigners from doing business in Britain. Much of the criticism is directed at the British Airports Authority which runs seven major airports, including the three main ones serving London. (3)The Competition Commission is now to investigate whether the British Airports Authority needs to sell off some of its assets. The idea is the competition between rival operators would lead to better service at airports. The British Airports Authority, recently bought by a Spanish company, says the root cause of the problem is not the ownership structure (4)but a lack of runway and terminal capacity which is addressing through a program of heavy investment.
3. What is the Competition Commission going to investigate?
本题是原文重现,原文中提到竞争委员会将去调查英国机场管理局是否需要廉价出清他们的一些资产,“whether the British Airports Authority needs to sell off some of its assets”对应选项 B,只是 need to 换成了 should, 故正确答案为 B。
4、Question 4 is based on the news report you have just heard.
A、Poor ownership structure.
B、 Inefficient management.
C、Lack of innovation and competition.

A、Study the effects of nicotine on young smokers.
B、Set a limit to the production of their cigarettes.
C、Take steps to reduce nicotine in their products.
D、Report the nicotine content of their cigarettes.
解析:
News Report Three
(5)Under the law in Massachusetts, tobacco companies have to measure the nicotine content of every type of cigarette and report the results. The Department of Public Health in Boston gathers and carefully examines the figures and then draws its conclusions. A hundred and sixteen brands were looked at for this study. Ninety- two were found to have higher nicotine yields than they did six years previously.(6)The biggest increases tended to be in brands that were popular with young smokers. That worries the department because of the addictive nature of nicotine. Stand Glance, a professor of medicine in San Francisco explains why. “The amount of nicotine that’s delivered in every cigarette is 10 higher than it was six years ago,which means that it is easier to get hooked and harder to quit. (7)The big tobacco companies have always insisted that they are frank with their customers about the dangers of smoking and provide them with enough detail to make an informed decision. However, (6)none of them were prepared to comment on this study or discuss the detailed nicotine content of their products.”
5. What do tobacco companies have to do under the law in Massachusetts?
原文中提到在马萨诸塞州的法律规定下,烟草公司必须去检测每种香烟的尼古丁含量并汇报结果,“measure the nicotine content of every type of cigarette and report the results”,和选项 D)Report the nicotine content of their cigarettes,报告他们香烟的尼古丁含量对应,故正确答案为 D。

B、Brands which contain higher nicotine content were found to be much more popular.
C、Tobacco companies refused to discuss the detailed nicotine content of their products.

6. What do we learn from the study by the Department of Public Health in Boston?
原文中提到研究结果表明 92 个香烟品牌的尼古丁含量已经比过去六年要高很多,而最受年轻人欢迎的香烟品牌是尼古丁含量增幅最大的那种 ,“The biggest increases tended to be in brands that were popular with young smokers”,选项 A 与之对应,只是把 brands 所在的定语从句由“that were popular with young smokers” 同义替换改成了“young smokers like”,故正确答案为 A。

That’s the real struggle because, right now, (8)I do live in Holland, but I really don’t socialize much with Dutch people and my boyfriend’s English is so good that we just basically speak English all the time.

M: And reading also, right?
W: Yeah, reading. (10)There is plenty I can get to read and listen to, but for speaking, there really is no substitute for trying to speak and use the language in a relaxed atmosphere. (9)So I think that’s really the challenge for people who live in a country where their target language isn’t spoken. And for that, gosh, what would I do? If I didn’t have people here, (10)probably try to find a club ? In Sweden, they have a really cool system called study circles, well, it’s not..(11)it’s like a course. But really, you just have a course leader who is there, sort of, as a coach and guide and to help out, and you don’t get grades, and you go just because you want to learn.
8. Where does the woman live right now?

解析:
Conversation Two
W: Okay, Nelson. (12)So we are talking about driving and are there any rules or regulations that you’d like to change?
M: I’m not sure I want to change rules, but I’d like the police to be stricter on the rules. Like if people jump traffic lights, I don’t know why there isn’t a camera at the traffic lights to stop people doing that. Or like speeding. It’s very easy to put speed cameras in certain places.
W: (13)Maybe car manufacturers should have some responsibility in limiting the power of their engines. What’s the point in producing an engine that is big and powerful enough to go, like 200km/h when the speed limit is only 100?
M: (14)Right, but do you know there are no speed limits in Germany?
W: People there do drive responsibly, though. Often people break laws simply because the laws are there. If the law isn’t there, people will drive within their ability range. When you got speed limits, this creates situations that actually present dangers on the road.
M: Do you think Germans have better education about personal responsibility when driving?
W: Possibly. They also have very good cars.
M: Right.
W: If you got a good car that can go at a high speed, then it’s really nice to do that. M: But still, with care.
W: So I think it’s the restrictions that create the dangers sometimes.
M: Okay.
W: Obviously, when driving through a residential area or where there is a school, you’ve got to have speed policemen.
M: Speed bumps.
W: Yes, speed bumps. Those speed bumps that force you to slow down. I think they are good ideas.
M:(15)So you don’t think fining people is useful?
W: Not really, because the police don’t have time to police every single driver.
12. What are the speakers mainly talking about?

15. What does the woman think of the police fining drivers?

16、Question 16 is based on the passage you have just heard.
A、The card got damaged.
B、The card was found invalid.
C、The card reader broke down unexpectedly.
D、The card reader failed to do the scanning.
解析:
Behind the cash register at a store in downtown San Francisco, Sam Azar swiped his credit card to pay for a pack of cigarettes. (16)The store’s card reader failed to scan the card’s magnetic stripe. Azar tried again, and again. No luck. As customers began to queue, Mr. Azar reached beneath the counter for a black plastic bag.(17)He wrapped one layer of the plastic around the card and tried again. Success! The sale was completed. “I don’t know how it works. It just does.” said Mr. Azar who learned the trick from another clerk. Verifone, the company that makes the store’s card reader would not confirm or deny that the plastic bag trick worked. (18)But it’s one of many low-tech fixes for high-tech failures that people without engineering degrees have discovered, often out of desperation, and shared. “Today’s shaky economy is likely to produce many more such tricks. In postwar Japan, the economy wasn’t doing so great, so you couldn’t get everyday-use items like household cleaners,” says Lisa Katayama, author of Urawaza, a book named after the Japanese term for “clever lifestyle tips and tricks.” So people look for ways to do with what they had. Today, Americans are finding their own tips and tricks for fixing malfunctioning devices with supplies as simple as paper and glue. Some, like Mr.Azar’s plastic bag, are open to argument as to how they work or whether they really work at all. But many tech home remedies can be explained by a little science.
16. What happened when Sam Azar swiped his credit card to pay for his purchase?

18、Question 18 is based on the passage you have just heard.
A、Produce many low-tech fixes for high-tech failures.
B、Give birth to many new technological inventions.
C、Change the lifestyle of many Americans.
D、Affect the sales of high-tech appliances.
解析:
Behind the cash register at a store in downtown San Francisco, Sam Azar swiped his credit card to pay for a pack of cigarettes. (16)The store’s card reader failed to scan the card’s magnetic stripe. Azar tried again, and again. No luck. As customers began to queue, Mr. Azar reached beneath the counter for a black plastic bag.(17)He wrapped one layer of the plastic around the card and tried again. Success! The sale was completed. “I don’t know how it works. It just does.” said Mr. Azar who learned the trick from another clerk. Verifone, the company that makes the store’s card reader would not confirm or deny that the plastic bag trick worked. (18)But it’s one of many low-tech fixes for high-tech failures that people without engineering degrees have discovered, often out of desperation, and shared. “Today’s shaky economy is likely to produce many more such tricks. In postwar Japan, the economy wasn’t doing so great, so you couldn’t get everyday-use items like household cleaners,” says Lisa Katayama, author of Urawaza, a book named after the Japanese term for “clever lifestyle tips and tricks.” So people look for ways to do with what they had. Today, Americans are finding their own tips and tricks for fixing malfunctioning devices with supplies as simple as paper and glue. Some, like Mr.Azar’s plastic bag, are open to argument as to how they work or whether they really work at all. But many tech home remedies can be explained by a little science.
18. What is today’s shaky economy likely to do?
原文中提到当前的不稳定经济催生了更多这样的诀窍,“produce many more such tricks”,诀窍指上句话出现的“many low-tech fixes for high- tech failures”,即一些对于高科技故障的低技术含量的修复方法,对应选项A) Produce many low-tech fixes for high-tech failures(发明更多低技术含量的修复方法),故正确答案为 A。
19、Question 19 is based on the passage you have just heard.
A、They vary among different departments.
B、They leave much room for improvement.
C、They are determined by the advising board.
D、They are set by the dean of the graduate school.
解析:
If you are a graduate student, you may depend on your adviser for many things, including help with improving grades, acquiring financial support, forming an examining committee and getting letters of recommendation. If you‘re a graduate teaching assistant, your adviser also may be your boss. (19)Academic departments vary in their procedures for assigning academic advisers to graduate students. In some departments, either the chairman or the director of graduate studies serves for at least the first semester as a new student adviser. Then students select an adviser based on shared academic interests. In other departments, a new student is assigned a faculty adviser based on some system of distribution of the department’s advising load. Later, students may have the opportunity of selecting the adviser that they prefer.(20)In any case, new graduate students can learn who their advisers or temporary advisers are by visiting or emailing the departmental office and asking for the information. (21)Graduation requirements specify the number of credits you must earn, the minimum grade point average you must achieve and the distribution of credits you must have from among differing departments or fields of study. In addition, it is necessary to apply for graduation when you are near the time that you will be completing your graduation requirements. Since graduation requirements vary among divisions of the university, you should consult the Bulletin of Information. You should also direct your questions to your departmental office or academic adviser.

Ancient Greek Wisdom Inspires Guidelines to Good Life
【A】Is it possible to enjoy a peaceful life in a world that is increasingly challenged by threats and uncertainties from wars, terrorism, economic crises and a widespread outbreak of infectious diseases? The answer is yes, according to a new book The 10 Golden Rules: Ancient Wisdom from the Greek Philosophers on Living a Good Life. The book is co-authored by Long Island University’s philosophy professor Michael Soupios and economics professor Panos Mourdoukoutas.
【B】The wisdom of the ancient Greek philosophers is timeless, says Soupios. The philosophy professor says it is as relevant today as when it was first written many centuries ago. “There is no expiration ( 失 效 ) date on wisdom,” he says. “There is no shelf life on intelligence. I think that things have become very gloomy these days, lots of misunderstanding, misleading cues, a lot of what the ancients would have called sophistry ( 诡 辩 ). The nice thing about ancient philosophy as offered by the Greeks is that they tended to see life clear and whole, in a way that we tend not to see life today.”
Examine your life
【C】Soupios, along with his co-author Panos Mourdoukoutas, developed their 10 golden rules by turning to the men behind that philosophy—Aristotle, Socrates, Epictetus and Pythagoras, among others. The first rule—examine your life—is the common thread that runs through the entire book. Soupios says that it is based on Plato’s observation that the unexamined life is not worth living. “The Greeks are always concerned about boxing themselves in, in terms of convictions( 信 念 ),” he says. “So take a step back, switch off the automatic pilot and actually stop and reflect about things like our priorities, our values, and our relationships.”
Stop worrying about what you can not control
【D】As we begin to examine our life, Soupios says, we come to Rule No.2: Worry only about things that you can control. “The individual who promoted this idea was a Stoic philosopher. His name is Epictetus,” he says. “And what the Stoics say in general is simply this: There is a larger plan in life. You are not really going to be able to understand all of the dimensions of this plan. You are not going to be able to control the dimensions of this plan.”
【E】So, Soupios explains, it is not worth it to waste our physical, intellectual and spiritual energy worrying about things that are beyond our control. “I can not control whether or not I wind up getting the disease swine flu, for example.” He says. “I mean, there are some cautious steps I can take, but ultimately I can not guarantee myself that. So what Epictetus would say is sitting at home worrying about that would be wrong and wasteful and irrational. You should live your life attempting to identify and control those things which you can genuinely control.”
Seek true pleasure
【F】To have a meaningful, happy life we need friends. But according to Aristotle—a student of Plato and teacher of Alexander the Great—most relationships don’t qualify as true friendships. “Just because I have a business relationship with an individual and I can profit from that relationship, it does not necessarily mean that this person is my friend.” Soupios says. “Real friendship is when two individuals share the same soul. It is a beautiful and uncharacteristically poetic image that Aristotle offers.”
【G】In our pursuit of the good life, he says, it is important to seek out true pleasures— advice which was originally offered by Epicurus. But unlike the modern definition of Epicureanism as a life of indulgence( 放 纵 )and luxury, for the ancient Greeks, it meant finding a state of calm, peace and mental case.
【H】“This was the highest and most desirable form of pleasure and happiness for the ancient Epicureans,” Soupios says. “This is something that is very much well worth considering here in the modern era. I do not think that we spend nearly enough time trying to concentrate on achieving a sort of calmness, a sort of contentment in a mental and spiritual way, which was identified by these people as the highest form of happiness and pleasure.”
Do good to others
【I】Other golden rules counsel us to master ourselves, to avoid excess and not to be a prosperous ( 发 迹 的 ) fool. There are also rules dealing with interpersonal relationships: Be a responsible human being and do not do evil things to others.
【J】“This is Hesiod, of course, a younger contemporary poet, we believe, with Homer,” Soupios says. “Hesiod offers an idea—which you very often find in some of the world’s great religions, in the Judeo-Christian tradition and in Islam and others— that in some sense, when you hurt another human being, you hurt yourself. That damaging other people in your community and in your life, trashing relationships, results in a kind of self-inflicted ( 自己招致的 ) spiritual wound.”
【K】Instead, Soupios says, ancient wisdom urges us to do good. Golden Rule No. 10 for a good life is that kindness toward others tends to be rewarded.
【L】“This is Aesop, the fabulist (寓言家), the man of these charming little tales, often told in terms of animals and animal relationship,”He says. “I think what Aesop was suggesting is that when you offer a good turn to another human being, one can hope that that good deed will come back and sort of pay a profit to you, the doer of the good deed. Even if there is no concrete benefit paid in response to your good deed, at the very least, the doer of the good deed has the opportunity to enjoy a kind of spiritually enlightened moment.”
【M】Soupios say following the 10 Golden Rules based on ancient wisdom can guide us to the path of the good life where we stop living as onlookers and become engaged and happier human beings. And that, he notes, is a life worth living.
