Passage Three

Questions 18 to 20 are based on the passage you have just heard.Script:

Parents who have more than two children should be charged a lifelong climate change tax to offset the effect of their extra greenhouse gas emissions, an Australian medical expert has proposed.They should pay 5,000 dollars(4,400 US dollars)a head for each extra child and up to 800 dollars every year thereafter, according to the plan published in the Medical Journal of Australia.In contrast, contraceptives and sterilization procedures would be eligible for carbon credits, suggested Professor Barry Walters at the King Edward Memorial Hospital in Perth.“Every family choosing to have more than a defined number of children should be charged a carbon tax that would fund the planting of enough trees to offset the carbon cost generated by a new human being,” he wrote.Walters made his proposal in a letter in which he criticized the government's payment of a 4,000-dollar “baby bonus” in a bid to boost the birth rate in this sparsely populated country of 21 million people.Paying parents extra for every baby fuelled more emissions and contributed to global warming, he said, adding that the bonus should be replaced with a “baby levy” in line with the “polluter pays” principle.And Professor Garry Egger, director of the New South Wales Centre for Health Promotion and Research, agreed.“Population remains crucial to all environmental considerations,” he said.“The debate(around population control)needs to be reopened as part of a second ecological revolution.”

18.A)5,000 dollars.B)5,000 dollars and up to 800 dollars every year thereafter.C)5,800 dollars every year.D)800 dollars every year.Script: According to the proposal, how much carbon tax should the parents pay if they have three children?

How can gratitude help us in our everyday lives as moms?

Think about the difference you can make in your family life just by noticing and being thankful for all the great things they do.When you express gratitude, you show your love and appreciation.Everyone needs to feel these things every day.Sometimes as moms we feel that no one appreciates us ― and it is true that moms are usually last on the list to be thanked.One way you can teach gratitude is by example.Even on the days when it seems your children or husband are doing everything wrong, find a reason to thank them.Take the time and energy to look for the good.Think about the things that your family does that deserve a “Thank you.” You might say to your husband, “Thank you for working so hard for our family,” or, to your child, “I really appreciate your sense of humor ― it feels good to laugh.” Expressing your gratitude helps family members to understand how it feels to be appreciated.And if they still don't catch on, let them know when you feel unappreciated.You can also tell them how great it makes you feel when they do express gratitude.Gratitude is a wonderful motivator when you need cooperation.When enlisting the help of my two-year-old, I praise him often and with enthusiasm.I let him know that he is a great helper.I know I am teaching him appreciation because he expresses it to me.The other day I brought a bunch of multi-colored roses home.For five days, at least once or twice a day, my son thanked me for the flowers.There is power and healing in gratitude.正确答案： difference

recurrent, are nothing but lawful expressions of chance, a creation ― not of the divine or mystical ― but of simply that which is possible.Ignorance of natural law, they argue, causes us to fall prey to superstitious thinking, inventing supernatural causes where none exist.In fact, say these statistical law-abiding rationalists, the occasional manifestation of the rare and improbable in daily life is not only permissible, but inevitable.Consider this: from a well-shuffled deck of fifty-two playing cards, the mathematical odds of dealing a hand of thirteen specified cards are about 635,000,000,000 to one.(This means that, in dealing the hand, there exist as many as 635,000,000,000 different hands that may possibly appear.)What statisticians tell us, though, is that these billions of hands are all equally likely to occur, and that one of them is absolutely certain to occur each time the hand is dealt.Thus, any hand that is dealt, including the most rare and improbable hand is, in terms of probability, merely one of a number of equally likely events, one of which was bound to happen.正确答案： terminals

”What a shame!“ the boy's father said, ”I never thought he would be so easily knocked down.I needn't have him left here any longer.“

”I'm sorry that's all you see.Don't you see that each time he falls down, he stands up again instead of crying? That's the kind of courage you wanted him to have.“

Welcome to This Is Our Everyday Hero.I'm Barbara Klein.Every society has its heroes.This week on our program, we present several stories of heroism in action.We start in New York City earlier this month ― January fourth, to be exact.Two friends, Julio Gonzalez and Pedro Nevarez, were standing on the street talking.Suddenly, people in a nearby apartment building screamed for help.A three-year-old boy was hanging from the steps of the fire escape outside the building.Timothy Addo was twelve meters above the ground, and scared.The men saw that he was going to fall.The two mechanics ran across the street and positioned themselves to catch him.They got there just in time.Timothy lost his hold and dropped.His feet hit Mister Nevarez and pushed him over onto the sidewalk.But the little boy landed in the arms of Mister Gonzalez, who also fell.Timothy was shaken by the experience, but he was safe.Experts in human behavior tell us that some situations bring out the best in people.But something made this event all the more newsworthy.Just two days earlier, New York City had another accidental hero.15.A)He was going to fall.B)He was hanging from the fire escape outside the building.C)He was on the roof of the building.D)He was hanging from the window.Script: Where was the three-year-old boy when the two mechanics saw him?

Passage Three

Questions 18 to 20 are based on the passage you have just heard.Script:

A teenage boy named Xue Xiao got nationwide attention in China last year following the Sichuan earthquake.His claim to fame was simply that his first words after being pulled from the ruins 80 hours after the quake was over were: ”I want a Coke, with ice.“

Xue's courage and perseverance held many people in awe.So he was admitted by Shanghai University of Finance and Economics without having to take any exams.An article in Oriental Morning Post covered the boy's latest development in school and reported that he has to study English very hard to keep up with his peers at the university.The writer says he is surprised by the school's decision and asks if a student's legendary experience could be a reason for the university to enroll the student without exam scores.It is reasonable to reward people who made outstanding contributions to the earthquake relief efforts, but the boy's involvement is inadequate to be considered a contribution, the article supposed.Indeed, at a time when the country needed optimism to boost national morale, Xue Xiao touched people with his ”courage and humor,“ the writer said.But the university's explanation that ”Xue's spirit of rousing himself in the earthquake tallies with the school's motto“ is really far-fetched, according to the article.18.A)For his brave action in saving other children.B)For his naughty behavior in school.C)For his optimistic spirit, perseverance and courage.D)For his earthquake diary.Script: What was Xue Xiao famous for?

正确答案： C

19.A)He is envied by other students.B)He has to work hard to keep up with others in English learning.C)He has to take part-time jobs to sustain his campus life.D)He was taken by the university without taking examinations.Script: What can be inferred from the passage about Xue's school life at his university?

正确答案： B

20.A)The reward received by the boy is reasonable.B)The boy's involvement is not a contribution and therefore the reward is not appropriate.C)The boy needs more attention from the public.D)The boy should be encouraged.Script: What is the article's comment on Xue's story in Oriental Morning Post?

正确答案： B

Section C

Script:

Courage is not only found in the heat of war or the mighty works of brave men and women.Courage is the mother taking care of her sick child in the early morning hours.Courage is the father who shows up on time everyday at a boring, low-paying, dead-end job to

feed and clothe his family.Courage comes in many forms, not only from thoughts and deeds of greatness, but in the routine, everyday art of living.When life gets you down, when it seems that your world is at an end, take courage and go the next step.You will be amazed at the power and strength you have inside.Just gather up enough courage to take you through this day.You only have to live one day at a time.You do not have to deal with all your troubles at one time.Like the Scotsman said, ”The troubles of tomorrow must wait until this day is done.“

Passage Two

Questions 15 to 17 are based on the passage you have just heard.Script:

NEW YORK ― A happy marriage is good for your blood pressure, but a stressed one can be worse than being single, a preliminary study suggests.That second finding is a surprise because prior studies have shown that married people tend to be healthier than singles, said researcher Julianne Holt-Lunstad.It would take further study to sort out what the results mean for long-term health, said Holt-Lunstad, an assistant psychology professor at Brigham Young University.Her study was reported online Thursday by the Annals of Behavioral Medicine.The study involved 204 married people and 99 single adults.Most were white, and it's not clear whether the same results would apply to other ethnic groups, Holt-Lunstad said.Study volunteers wore devices that recorded their blood pressure at random times over 24 hours.Married participants also filled out questionnaires about their marriage.Analysis found that the more marital satisfaction and adjustment spouses reported, the lower their average blood pressure was over the 24 hours and during the daytime.But spouses who scored low in marital satisfaction had higher average blood pressure than single people did.During the daytime, their average was about five points higher, entering a range that's considered a warning sign.(That result is for the top number in a blood pressure reading).”I think this study is worth some attention,“ said Karen Matthews, a professor of psychology at the University of Pittsburgh.She studies heart disease and high blood pressure but didn't participate in the new work.Few studies of the risk for high blood pressure have looked at marital quality rather than just marital status, she said.It makes sense that marital quality is more important than just being married when it comes to affecting blood pressure, said Dr.Brian Baker, an associate professor of psychiatry at the University of Toronto.15.A)A stressed marriage can be harmful to one's blood pressure.B)A stressed marriage can cause back problems.C)A stressed marriage may lead to a worse relationship.D)A stressed marriage may result in divorce.Script: What does the study say about a stressed marriage?

Passage Three

Questions 18 to 20 are based on the passage you have just heard.Script:

Having been married for more than 40 years, I can attest to the truth of the following statement: to excel in the art of domestic argument, one must master the art of losing.Modern psychologists are taken with the ”win-win“ solution.But in marriage, success resides more in ”lose-lose“ solutions.Out of these, both parties can win.For in the love configuration, losing gives a gift that always returns.One day shortly after my wife and I were married, we set about picking new living-room wallpaper from a book of samples.My taste and hers were at odds.”I like this one,“ she said.”That looks like a section of a diseased liver.“

”How can you say that? This is a classical pattern that goes all the way back to the Venetian.“

”The Venetian were blind.They named blinds after them, remember? I like this one.“

”I wouldn't hang that in hell if I were the devil.“

As the argument went on, my wife suddenly slammed the book shut.”There are over two hundred samples in this book,“ she declared.”I say we spend our energy finding one

that suits us both, instead of arguing about the ones we don't like.“

And that's how we settled it.Eventually we found a pattern we both liked.The ”wallpaper book“ became our symbol for settling the many issues that arise in marriage.”Well,“ she'd say when we couldn't agree on furniture or a place to vacation, ”there are plenty of samples in the wallpaper book.“

The issues that people argue over most in marriage, such as how to spend money, often aren't the real ones.The key issue is: who is going to be in control? When I was younger, my need to control arose out of fear, a lack of trust, insecurity.The day I finally realized I didn't need to control my wife that, indeed, I ought not control her, that I couldn't control her, and that if I tried to, I would destroy our marriage was the day our marriage began.18.A)Over 14 years.B)Around 14 years.C)Over 40 years

D)Over 50 years.Script: How many years has the speaker been married?

正确答案： C

19.A)To illustrate his point of win-win approach.B)To illustrate the importance of ”lose-lose“ solution.C)To indicate that he loves his wife.D)To explain the vitality of respect.Script: Why does the speaker give the example of their choosing the living room wall-paper?

正确答案： B

20.A)It is mainly because of money.B)It is largely because of the different opinions.C)It is because of personal tastes.D)It is because of the intention to control.Script: According to the speaker, what is the reason of a quarrel or an argument in marriage?

正确答案： D

Section B

Questions 12 to 14 are based on the passage you have just heard.Script:

For most of us, owing thousands of dollars in student loans, all while dealing with crushing credit card debt, probably sounds like a nightmare.But for people in their early-to mid-20s, all that debt actually seems to boost their self-esteem — possibly because they consider that debt an investment in their future.So says a study in the journal Social Science Research.Researchers analyzed ongoing national survey data on 3,000 young Americans.The questions covered student loans and credit card debt, as well as some designed to measure the respondents' self-esteem and sense of control over their lives.Even after accounting for the fact that more self-confident teens might be willing to take out more loans in college, the researchers found that the more debt respondents had, the more empowered they felt.Especially young adults from low-income families, who might have been afforded opportunities beyond their means.But the honeymoon appears to end around age 28 — right around the time when college grads have been working a few years and they realize their salary expectations may have been just a bit too high.Oh, and when the bills for those student loans start showing up.12.A)They think it is a nightmare.B)They do not want to have student loans.C)They think the debt seems to boost their self-esteem.D)They are afraid of paying the debts.Script: According to the speaker, what do young people think of student loans?

Once upon a time there were three young men, who wanted to look for treasures in the desert.One day, they started out and went to the sands for their treasures.They brought enough food and some water with them.As it was very hot in the sands, they drank up all the water three days later.They were all tired and thirsty.Just then they met a white-haired old man and asked him for help.”You can find what you want after turning on the left and right for several times“, said the old man, ”but don't forget to bring something for yourselves when you get back.“

With the old man's words, the three young men went on with their hard travel.It wasn't long before they found an oasis just as expected.They cheered up and ran to the oasis happily.There, they had a good drink of its clear well water.After full of drinking and eating, it was getting dark.At this moment, the three young men recalled what the old man had told them.The first young man said, ”What can I bring with me? There's nothing but lots of sands and cactuses.“ He didn't know what to do and took nothing.The second young man thought, ”It may be reasonable for the old man's word, I should bring something.“ He looked around and put a handful of sand in his pocket.The third young man thought, ”It must be reasonable and important for the old man's words.“ So he filled the food bag full of sand.Then, they were on their way back home.It was at the dawn when the three young men walked out of the desert.Suddenly, one of them cried out with great surprise, for he found golden sand in his pocket.But the third young man spoke nothing though he had taken a full bag of golden sand.The first man was unlucky, because he took nothing with him.The story tells us that you must catch every chance everywhere.15.A)Two days.B)Three days.C)Four days.D)Five days.Script: How long did the water they brought last?

Passage Two

Questions 36 to 40 are based on the following passage.Police fired tear gas and arrested more than 5,000 passively resisting protestors Friday in an attempt to break up the largest antinuclear demonstration ever staged in the United States.More than 135,000 demonstrators confronted police on the construction site of a 1,000-megawatt nuclear power plant scheduled to provide power to most of southern New Hampshire.Organizers of the huge demonstration said, the protest was continuing despite the police actions.More demonstrators were arriving to keep up the pressure on state authorities to cancel the project.The demonstrator had charged that the project was unsafe in the densely populated area, which would create thermal pollution in the bay, and had no acceptable means for disposing of its radioactive wasters.The demonstrations would go on until the jails and the courts were so overloaded that the state judicial system would collapse.Governor Stanforth Thumper insisted that there would be no reconsideration of the power project and no delay in its construction set for completion in three years.“This project will begin on time and the people of this state will begin to receive its benefits on schedule.Those who break the law in misguided attempts to sabotage the project will be dealt with according to the law,” he said.And police called in reinforcements from all over the state to handle the disturbances.The protests began before dawn Friday when several thousand demonstrators broke through police lines around the cordoned-off construction site.They carried placards that read “No Nukes is Good Nukes,” “Sunpower, Not Nuclear Power,” and “Stop Private Profits from Public Peril.” They defied police order to move from the area.Tear gas canisters fired by police failed to dislodge the protestors who had come prepared with their own gas masks or facecloths.Finally gas-masked and helmeted police charged into the crowd to drag off the demonstrators one by one.The protestors did not resist police, but refused to walk away under their own power.Those arrested would be charged with unlawful assembly, trespassing, and disturbing the peace.36.The demonstrators were protesting for ____.A)private profits

39.Why would the state judicial system collapse?

A)Because the state judicial system itself was too fragile.B)Because the court and jail were too crowded to accommodate those arrested demonstrators.C)Because the demonstrators wanted to abolish the current state judicial system.D)Because the state authority wanted to abolish it and set up a new one.正确答案： B

40.What is the attitude of Governor Stanforth Thumper toward the power project?

Section B

Questions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage.More and more Americans are finding that they must learn to cope with chronic illness.Granted, for some of the 125 million people with chronic illnesses, the problems are minor, but for 60 million others have multiple chronic conditions that can be serious or life-threatening.The toll of so much illness is enormous — $510 billion annually.But chronic illness exacts an emotional toll as well, and it is in that realm that researchers are increasingly looking to the hard-won wisdom of patients to find ways to help others cope with diseases that might once have engulfed them in shame or despair.One view is that people with chronic illnesses should be neither pitied nor idealized, either by others or by themselves.Pity can come across as condescending.Turning someone into a hero may not help.Other mental health specialists, such as Ann Webster, take a somewhat different view.Some people with chronic illnesses do want to be seen as normal, she said, but others do seem truly heroic and may appreciate some recognition of that.“A lot of people grow and change in profound ways”, Webster said.Some long-term survivors in her AIDS group “have changed and grown and turned into some of the most evolved and spiritual people, and they never were that way before.” “It's really hard having a chronic illness, and knowing it is changing your life and your future,” she said.Some people can throw their energies into beating their disease and returning to normal activities.But others can't beat the illness, no matter how hard they try.Many people can do this on their own, she said, but many also find it helpful to join support groups or see individual counselors.Ultimately, the task is to make meaning in the face of disability or imminent（即将发生的，逼近的）death, to reassess what's still important and what you can still do, when your old goals and dreams can no longer be met.31.Ann Webster is different from other people in that she thinks ______.A)people with chronic diseases may feel encouraged when their heroic deeds are recognized

B)people with chronic illnesses wish to be treated in the same way as a normal person

C)idealizing people with chronic illnesses may put them under great mental pressure

Passage Two

Questions 36 to 40 are based on the following passage.Elizabeth's father died when she was nine.Her family was large, and very poor.She struggled for self esteem, but it was difficult when her clothes weren't as nice as the other kids and her new school was still unfamiliar.During a math lesson, Elizabeth stared at the chalkboard and was struggling to understand a concept.With every stroke of the chalk, she became more confused.She had suffered from chronic ear infections(感染), and had missed many days of her fifth grade year.When she finally got the courage to raise her little hand and ask Mr.Thompson how the problem was done, he became very angry.He marched her up in front of the class and told this insecure child that she was “incapable of learning and extremely stupid.”

This remark plagued(使…困扰)Elizabeth for years.Elizabeth drifted into marriage.After discovering her husband's long time infidelity(不忠), she found herself divorced with three young daughters.She moved back to her home state and tried to pick up the pieces she had left behind.Knowing that she would be the sole support of these children, and having no desire to remarry, Elizabeth started college.Like most good mothers, she wanted the best for her children.She didn't want to deprive them of their mother.She would rise early and stay up late to get every spare minute she could to study.When she received her first “A” she was confused.She thought there must be some mistake.This was Elizabeth, Elizabeth the stupid.When her good grades piled up, she realized for the first time that maybe Mr.Thompson was wrong.She graduated from Brigham Young University, and will soon be receiving her master's degree at California State University in San Bernardino.36.The reason why Elizabeth stared at the chalkboard was that ______.A)she had ear infections and could not hear very well

39.Why was Elizabeth confused when she got her first “A”?
