1 What seems to have been very successful according to the woman speaker?
[A] 【解析】对话开头,女士就说迈克在 CucinTech 负责了一个创新项目,并接着说到项目似乎非常成功。由此,可选定 A 项“男士在 CucinTech 负责的项目”。
【干扰项排除】①根据选项关键词 project, technology, career 以及 company,可推测问题可能与工作相关。②对话主要探讨的是战略上的创新,而 B 项“CucinTech 的技术革新”只是利用对话里的关键词innovation 进行干扰;C 项“男士转换到新的职业上”在对话中并未提及;对话谈论的是男士在 CucinTech的工作情况,与女士公司无关,故排除 D 项“她公司的重组”。

【干扰项排除】①选项均为名词短语,推测问题可能与主题相关。②虽然这项新研究的调查对象是新西兰的孩子,但录音中没有证据证明新西兰的孩子自制力更好,故 A 项“为何新西兰的孩子似乎有更好的自制力”属过度推断;C 项“单亲家庭出来的孩子的健康问题”和 D 项“孩子学业成绩的决定性因素”都不是该研究的内容。
24 What does the study seem to show?

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 University is 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 poor attendance and lower grades. On top of all that, 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. 200 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, 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.
Questions 1 and 2 are based on the news report you have just heard.

News Report Two
Long queues, delayed flights and over-crowding 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 at 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 7 major airports, including the 3 main ones serving London. The Competition Commission is now to investigate whether the British Airports Authority needs to sell off some of its assets. The idea is that 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, but a lack of runway and terminal capacity, which is addressing through a program of heavy investment.
Questions 3 and 4 are based on the news report you have just heard.
3. What is the Competition Commission going to investigate?
A) Whether more airports should be built around London.
B) Whether adequate investment is being made to improve airport facilities.
C) Whether the British Airports Authority should sell off some of its assets.

4. What is the route cause of the poor service at British airports according to the British Airports Authority?
A) Inefficient management.
B) Poor ownership structure.
C) Lack of innovation and competition.
D) Lack of runway and terminal capacity.
News Report Three
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. 116 brands were looked at for this study. 92 were found to have higher nicotine yield than they did 6 years previously. The biggest increases tended to be in brands that were popular with young smokers. That worries the department because of the addicted nature of nicotine. Stan Glance, a professor of medicine in San Francisco explains why: “The amount of nicotine that’s delivered in every cigarette is 10 percent higher than it was 6 years ago, which means that it’s easier to get hooked and harder to quit. 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, none of them were prepared to comment on this study or discuss the detailed nicotine content of their products.”
Questions 5 to 7 are based on the news report you have just heard.
5. What do tobacco companies have to do under the law in Massachusetts?
A) Report the nicotine content of their cigarettes.
B) Set a limit to the production of their cigarettes.
C) Take steps to reduce nicotine in their products.
D) Study the effects of nicotine on young smokers.
6. What do we learn from the study by the Department of Public Health in Boston?
A) The biggest increase in nicotine content tended to be in brands young smokers like.
B) Big tobacco companies were frank with their customers about the hazards of smoking.
C) Brands which contain higher nicotine content were found to be much more popular.
D) Tobacco companies refused to discuss the detailed nicotine content of their products.
7. What do we learn from the news report about the big tobacco companies?
A) They promised to reduce the nicotine content in cigarettes.
B) They have not fully realized the harmful effect of nicotine.
C) They were not prepared to comment on the cigarette study.
D) They will pay more attention to the quality of their products.
Section B
Directions:In this section, you will hear two long conversations。At the end of each conversations you will hear four questions。Both the conversations and the question-s will be spoken only once。After you hear a question。You
must choose the best answer from the four choices marked A),B),C)and D)。Then mark the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 1 with a single line through the centre。
Conversation One
M: And, you know, one thing that I wanted to ask you. It’s great that you have had this experience of teaching in Indonesia. And following up on what you just mentioned, what would you recommend for students who do not live in an English speaking country? And, you know, they want to learn. I don’t know about perfecting but they want at least to be able to communicate decently. How can they go about this?
W: Yeah, it’s really hard. That’s the real struggle, because right now 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. So I have to make a real effort to practice. There is as much listening exposure as I want. All I have to do is to turn on the TV.
M: And reading also, right?
W: Yeah, reading. 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. 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, probably… try to find a club? In Sweden, they have a really cool system called “study circles” where it’s not. It’s like a course, but really you just have a course leader, who’s there sort of as a coaching guy and to help out. And you don’t get grades, and you go just because you want to learn.
Questions 8 to 11 are based on the conversation you have just heard.
8. Where does the woman live right now?
A) Indonesia.
B) Holland.
C) Sweden.
D) England.
9. What does the woman say is the real challenge?
A) Getting a coach who can offer real help.
B) Talking with her boyfriend in Dutch.
C) Learning a language where it is not spoken.
D) Acquiring the necessary ability to socialize.
10. What does the woman suggest do to learn to speak a foreign language?

Conversation Two
W: OK, Nathan, so, we’re talking about driving, and are there any rules or regulation 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 the traffic lights. I don’t know why there isn’t a camera at the traffic lights to stop people doing that. Or at speeding. It is very easy to put speed cameras in certain places.
W: Maybe car manufacturers should have some responsibility in limiting the power of their engine. What’s the point in producing an engine that’s big and powerful enough to go like 200 kilometers an hour when the speed limit is only 100?
M: 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’ve 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’ve 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 restriction that creates the dangers sometimes.
M: OK.
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 a good idea.
M: So you don’t think fining people is useful?
W: Not really, because the police don’t have time to police every single driver.

the best answer from the four choices marked A),B),C)and D)。Then mark the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 1 with a single line through the centre。
Passage One
Behind the cash register at a store in downtown San Francisco, Sam Azar swiped his credit card to pay for a pack of cigarettes. The store’s card reader failed to scan the card’s magnetic strip. Azar tried again and again, no luck. As customers began to queue, Mr. Azar reached beneath the counter for a black plastic bag. 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. But it’s one of the many low-tech fixes for high-tech failures that people without engineering degrees have discovered often out of desperation and shared. Today’sshaky 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 used 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 non-functioning 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.
Questions 16 to 18 are based on the passage you have just heard.
16. What happened when Sam Azar swiped his credit card to pay for his purchase?
A) The card got damaged.
B) The card was found invalid.
C) The card reader failed to do the scanning.
D) The card reader broke down unexpectedly.
17. How did Sam Azar manage to complete the sale?
A) By covering the credit card with a layer of plastic.
B) By calling the credit card company for confirmation.
C) By seeking help from the card reader maker Verifone.
D) By typing the credit card number into the cash register.
18. What is today’s shaky economy likely to do?
A) Affect the sales of high-tech appliances.
B) Change the lifestyle of many Americans.
C) Give birth to many new technological inventions.
D) Produce many low-tech fixes for high-tech failures.
Passage Two
If you are a graduate student, you may depend on your adviser for many things including help with improving grades, acquiring financial support, forming and examining committee and getting letters of recommendation. If you are a graduate teaching assistant, your adviser also may be your boss. 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. 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. Graduation requirements specify the number of credits you must earn, the minimum grade point of 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 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.
Questions 19 to 21 are based on the passage you have just heard.
19. What does the speaker say about procedures for assigning academic advisers?
A) They are set by the dean of the graduate school.
