Section A News Report One A message in a bottle sent out to sea by a New Hampshire man more than five decades ago was found 1500 miles away and he’s been returned to his daughter.The long lost message was discovered by Clint Buffington of Utah while he was vacationing.Buffington says he found a soda bottle half-buried in the sand that looked like it had been there since the beginning of time.The note inside the bottle said, “Return to 419 Ocean Street and receive a reward of $150 from Richard and Tina Pierce, owners of the beach Comber motel.The motel was owned by the Paula Pierce in 1960.Her father had written the notes as a joke and had thrown it into the Atlantic Ocean.Buffington flew to New Hampshire to deliver that message to Pola Pierce.She held up to her father's promise giving Buffington that reward.But the biggest reward is the message in a bottle finding its way back home.Questions 1 and 2 are based on the news report you have just heard.1.What is the news report mainly about? 2.Why did Paula Pierce give Clint Buffington the reward? News Report Two Millions of bees have died in South Carolina during aerial insect spraying operations that were carried out to combat the Zika virus.The insects spraying over the weekend left more than 2 million bees dead on the spot in Dorchester county South Carolina, where four travel-related cases of Zika disease have been confirmed in the area.Most of the deaths came from Flower Town Bee farm, a company in Somerville that sells bees and honey products.Juanita Stanley who owns the company said the farm looks like it's been destroyed.The farm lost about 2.5 million bees.Dorchester county officials apologized for the accidental mass killing of bees.Dorchester County is aware that some beekeepers in the area that was sprayed on Sunday lost their bee colonies.County manager Jason Ward said in a statement.“I'm not pleased that so many bees were killed.”
Questions 3 and 4 are based on the news report you have just heard.3.Why was spraying operations carried out in Dorchester County? 4.What does the news reports say about Flower Town Bee farm? News Report Three The world's largest aircraft has taken to the skies for the first time.The Airlander 10 spent nearly 2 hours in the air having taken off from Coddington airfield in Bedfordshire.During its flight it reached 3000 feet and performed a series of gentle turns all over a safe area.The aircraft is massive as long as a football field and as tall as 6 double decker buses and capable of flying for up to 5 days.It was first developed for the US government as a long range spy aircraft, but was abandoned following budget cutbacks.The aircraft cost 25 million pounds and can carry heavier loads than huge jet planes while also producing less noise and omitting less pollution.The makers believe it's the future of aircraft and one day we'll be using them to go places.But there's still a long way to go.The Airlander will need to have 200 hours flying time before being allowed to fly by the aviation administration if it passes though we can hope we'll all get some extra legroom.Questions 5 and 7 are based on the news report you have just heard.5.What do we learn about the first flight of the Airlander 10? 6.What caused the US government to abandon the Airlander 10 as a spy aircraft? 7.What is the advantage of the Airlander 10 over huge jet planes? Section B Conversation One M: Do you feel like going out tonight?
W:Yeah,why not,we haven’t been out for ages, what’s on? M: Well, there’s a film about climate change.Does it sound good to you? W: No, not really, it doesn’t really appeal to me.What’s it about?

M: At 7:30.W: Well, that’s no good.We haven’t got enough time to get there.Is there anything else? M: There’s a comedy special on.W: Where’s it on? M: It’s at the city theater.It’s a charity comedy night with lots of different acts.It looks pretty good.The critic in the local the paper says it’s the funniest thing he’s ever seen.It says here Roger Whitehead is an amazing host to a night of fun performances.W: Em..I am not keen on him.He is not very funny.M: Are you sure your fancy going out tonight? You are not very enthusiastic.W: Perhaps you are right.Okay, let’s go to see the dance.But tomorrow, not tonight.M: Great, I’ll book the tickets online.Questions 8 and 11 are based on the conversation you have just heard.8.What does the women think of the climate change? 9.Why do the speakers give up going to the Spanish dance festival tonight? 10.What does the critic say about the comedy performed at the city theater? 11.What does the woman decide to do tomorrow? Conversation Two W: Good morning Mr.Lee, May I have a minutes of your time? M: Sure Katherine, what can I do for you? W: I’m quiet anxious about transferring over to our college, I’m afraid I won’t fit in.M: don't worry Katherine, it’s completely normal for you to be nervous about transferring schools, this happens to many transfer students.W: Yes, I know, but I’m younger than most students in my year and that worries me a lot.M: Well, you may be the only younger one in your year, but you know, we have a lot of after-school activities you can join in, and so, this way, you will be able to meet new friends of different age groups.W: That’s nice, I love games and hobby groups.M: I’m sure you do, so will be just fine, don’t worry so much and try to make the most of what we have on offer here, also, remember that you can come to me anytime of the day if you need help.W: Thanks so much, I definitely feel better now, as a matter of fact, I’ve already contacted one of the girls who will be living in the same house with me, and she seemed really nice.I guess living on campus, I'll have a chance to have a close circle of friends, since we'll be living together.M: All students are very friendly with new arrivals.Let me check who would be living with you in your flat.Okay.There are Hannah, Kelly, and Bree.Bree is also a new student here, like you, I’m sure you two ‘ll have more to share with each other.Questions 12 and 15 are based on the conversation you have just heard.12.Why does Katherine feel anxious? 13.What does Mr.Lee encourage Katherine to do? 14.What does Mr.Lee promised to do for Katherine? 15.What do we learn about Katherine’ schoolmate Bree? Section C Passage One Have you ever felt like you would do just about anything to satisfy your hunger? A new study in mice may help to explain why hunger can feel like such a powerful motivating force.In the study, researchers found that hunger outweighed other physical drives, including fear, thirst and social needs.To determine which feeling won out, the researchers did a series of experiments.In one experiment, the mice were both hungry and thirsty.When given the choice of either eating food or drinking water, the mice went for the food, the researchers found.However, when the mice were well-fed but thirsty, they opted to drink, according to the study.In the second experiment meant to pit the mice's hunger against their fear, hungry mice were placed in a cage that had certain ”fox-scented“ areas and other places that smelled safer(in other words, not like an animal that could eat them)but also had food.It turned out that, when the mice were hungry, they ventured into the unsafe areas for food.But when the mice were well-fed, they stayed in areas of the cage that were considered ”safe." Hunger also outweighed the mice's social needs, the researchers found.Mice are usually social animals and prefer to be in the company of other mice, according to the study.When the mice were hungry, they opted to leave the company of other mice to go get food.Questions 16 to 18 are based on the passage you have just heard.16.What is the researchers’ purpose in carrying out the serious experiment with mice? 17.In what circumstances, do mice venture into unsafe areas? 18.What is said about mice at the end of the passage? Passage Two The United States has one of the best highway systems in the world.Interstate highways connect just about every large and mid-sized city in the country.Did you ever wonder why such a complete system of excellent roads exists? For an answer,you would have to go back to the early 1920s.In those years, just after World War I, the military wanted to build an American highway system for national defense.Such a system could, if necessary, move troops quickly from one area to another.It could also get people out of cities in danger of being bombed.So-called roads of national importance were designated, but they were mostly small country roads.In 1944, Congress passed a bill to upgrade the system, but did not fund the plan right away.In the 1950s, the plan began to become a reality.Over $25 billion was appropriated by congress, and construction began on about 40,000 miles of new roads.The idea was to connect the new system to existing expressways and freeways.And though the system was built mostly to make car travel easier, defense was not forgotten.For instance, highway overpasses had to be high enough to allow trailers carrying military missiles to pass under them.By 1974, this system was mostly completed.A few additional roads would come later.Quick and easy travel between all parts of the country was now possible.Questions 19 and 21 are based on the passage you have just heard.19.What does the speaker say about the American highway system? 20.What was the original purpose of building a highway system? 21.When was the interstate highway system mostly completed? Passage Three Texting while driving was listed as a major cause of road deaths among young Americans back in 2013.A recent study said that 40% of American teens claim to have been in a car when the driver used a cell phone in a way that put people in danger.This sounds like a widespread disease but it's one that technology may now helped cure.T.J.Evarts, a 20-year-old inventor, has come up with a novel solution that could easily put texting drivers on notice.It's called Smart Wheel, and it's designed to fit over the steering wheel of most standard vehicles to track whether or not the driver has two hands on the wheel at all times.Evarts’ invention warns the drivers with the light and the sound when they hold the wheel with one hand only, but as soon as they place the other hand back on the wheel the light turns back to green and the sound stops.It also watches for what's called “close by hands”, where both hands are close together near the top of the wheel so the driver can type with both thumbs and drive at the same time.All the data Smart Wheel collects is also sent to a connected app.So any parents who install Smart Wheel can keep track of the teens’ driving habits.If they try to remove or damage the cover, that's reported as well.Questions 22 to 25 are based on the passage you have just heard.22.What is a major cause of road deaths among young Americans? 23.What is Smart Wheel? 24.What happens if the driver has one hand on the wheel? 25.How do parents keep track of their teens’ driving habits? 参考答案:

Passage 1
My father woke me up early one morning when I was fourteen and announced “Get up, you are going with me to cut grass.” I felt proud and excited because my father thought I was responsible enough to help him in his business.Still, that first day was very hard.From sunrise to sunset, my father, my younger brother and I cut and t very large yards in well-to-do part of the city.By the end of the day I was exhausted, but I felt good.I put out a hard day's labor and earned six dollars.One day, my father spotted some weeds I have miss cutting and pulled me inside.“Cut that section again!” he said firmly “and don't make me have to tell you again.” The message was very clear.Today I stress the importance of doing the job right the first time.Every job I have held from cutting lawns to wash dishes to working a machine on the construction site.I have learned something that help me in my next job.If you work hard enough, you can learn from any job you do.Q: How did the speaker feel when his father asked him to help cut grass? 13 Q: What did his father do when the speaker missed cutting some leaves?14 Q:What did the speak want to tell us in this passage?

Passage 3
”Where is the university?" is the question many visitors to Cambridge ask.But no one could point at any one direction because there is no campus.The university consists of 31 self-governing colleges.It has lecture halls, libraries, laboratories, museums and offices throughout the city.Individual colleges choose their own students who have to meet their minimum entrance requirements set by the university.And the graduates usually live and study in their colleges but they are taught in very full groups.Lectures and laboratories and practical work are organized by the university and held in university buildings.There are over ten thousand undergraduates and three thousand five hundred post-graduates.About 40% of them are women and some 8% from overseas.As well as teaching, research is of major importance.Since the beginning of the twentieth century, more than sixty university members have won Nobel prizes.The university has
a huge number of buildings for teaching and research.It has more than 60 specialist subject libraries as well as the university library, which as the copy-right libraries, is entitled to a copy of every book published in Britain.Examinations are held and degrees are awarded by the

Section B Compound Dictation
It's difficult to imagine the sea ever running out of fish.It's so vast, so deep, so mysterious.Unfortunately, it's not bottomless.Over-fishing, coupled with destructive fishing practices, is killing off the fish and ruining their environment.Destroy the fish, and you destroy the fishermen's means of living.At least 60 percent of the world's commercially important fish species are already
over-fished, or fished to the limit.As a result, governments have had to close down some areas of sea to commercial fishing.Big, high-tech fleets ensure that everything in their path is pulled out of water.Anything too small, or the wrong thing, is thrown back either dead or dying.That's an average of more than 20 million metric tons every year.When you consider that equal a quarter of the world catch, you begin to see the sides of the problem.In some parts of the world, for every kilogram of prawns(对虾)caught, up to 15 kilograms of unsuspecting fish and other marine wildlife die, simply for being in the wrong place at the wrong time.True, some countries are beginning to deal with this problem, but it is vital we find rational ways of fishing, before every ocean becomes a dead sea.It would make sense to give the fish enough time to recover, grow to full sizes and
reproduce, then catch them in a way that doesn't kill other innocent sea life.
