A“学习美国历史”、C“参观著名的国家博物馆和纪念碑”和D“捐款建造一座新的博物馆”都不是黑人历史月鼓励美国人去做的事。
A.To join association of museums.B.To collect money from architects.C.To choose donors.D.To build a new museum. √解析：解析：新闻中提到，Smithsonian Institution宣布要建一个“非裔美国人历史与文化国家博物馆”(National Museum of African American History and Culture)。
故答案为D“建造新博物馆”。
A 利用新闻中的join和museum制造干扰，但“博物馆协会”没有在新闻中出现。
新闻中提到建造博物馆之前，要先选定建筑师(architect must be chosen)、征集收藏品(collection must be assembled)和募捐建造博物馆的费用(half…price tag must be provided from private donors)，B、C项胡乱拼凑了这些信息点，并不是Smithsonian Institution真正要做的事。
（分数：4.00）A.Several. √B.80.C.More than 800.D.Several hundred.解析：解析：新闻提到，泰国官方已经确认80名缅甸工人在海啸中丧生。
同时，在800多具没有确定身份的遇难者尸体中，泰国官方认为其中有一些为缅甸人(several of the…)。
故A正确。
A.They were employed by contractors.B.They overlooked the government aid.C.They called attention to the problems of migrants.D.They were unable to get government aid. √解析：解析：新闻提到，那些在海啸中幸免于难的人发现他们的工作没了，家和财产也被海啸冲走了，并且他们也得不到政府的援助(unable to get government aid)。
故D正确，并同时可以排除B“他们忽视政府的援助”。
A“他们被包工头雇用了”和新闻说的“他们工作没了”(their jobs…were gone)相反。
C 所说的“引起对移民问题的关注”是泰国劳工活跃分子Adjoin Kurdmongkol的呼吁，与海啸幸存者无关。
（分数：6.00）A.To help companies make more money.B.To gain reputation around the world.C.To keep temperatures at a low level.D.To control the change of climate. √解析：解析：新闻开头提到，巴黎协定(Paris agreement)呼吁减少对化石燃料的使用及其排放的温室气体，尤其是二氧化碳，其目的是控制气候变化(to curb climate change)。
D中的control the change of climate 和新闻中的curb climate change含义相同，为本题答案。
A是利用新闻末尾的profitable编造的信息，新闻中说该工厂不盈利所以没有投资吸引力，A与新闻内容相反。
B“在全球范围内获得名声”未在新闻中提到。
C中的temperature有在新闻中出现，但是新闻中说新能源并不能有效抑制气温升到危险水平，并未提及气温应控制在什么水平。
A.Transportation of sands and oil.B.Way to stop emitting carbon dioxide.C.Capture and storage of carbon dioxide. √D.Method of exploring more oil.解析：解析：新闻提到，Royal Dutch Shell是北美的一家石油公司，接着又说它举行了一个盛大的开幕式，进行捕获和储存碳的项目(Quest carbon capture and storage project)，故C为答案。
新闻中多次提到sand和oil，但并未提及其运输情况(transportation)，故排除A。
该项目并非B所说的“停止排放二氧化碳”，而是要对其进行储存以防止其进入空气中，故排除B。
D是利用对Shell公司是石油公司进行干扰，新闻并没有提及要开发更多石油。
A.Because it needs government's support.B.Because it's hard to acquire the technology.C.Because it's not easy to make a profit. √D.Because it requires a lot of money.解析：解析：新闻末尾部分提到，Quest project成本非常高，却只能捕获其产生的二氧化碳总量的三分之一，最后又说不能吸引投资是因为不能盈利(not profitable)，由此可知答案为C。
A“需要政府支持”没有在新闻中提到。
B中的technology出现在新闻中后段，说该技术已存在一段时间，但成本仍然极高，可见该技术并非难以取得，只是价格昂贵。
D干扰性强，该技术确实需要大量资金，但是不具备盈利能力才是无法吸引公司投资的真正原因。
3.Section B__________________________________________________________________________________________ 解析：（分数：8.00）A.It allows him to make a lot of friends.B.It requires him to work long hours. √C.It enables him to apply theory to practice.D.It helps him understand people better.解析：解析：对话一开始男士就回答说他要工作很长时间，每天11个小时，每周6天。
因此答案为B。
A“使他能交到很多朋友”、C“使他得以将理论应用于实践”和D“帮助他更好地理解人们”录音未提及。
A.It is intellectually challenging.B.It requires him to do washing-up all the time.C.It exposes him to oily smoke all day long.D.It demands physical endurance and patience. √解析：解析：女士问这份工作比较困难的是什么?男士回答说要一直站着，结合工作时间长，可判断出这份工作需要耐力和耐心。
因此答案为D。
A“在智力上有挑战”和C“整天接触油烟”无原文依据：男士在前面曾说到“不需要洗餐具”，因此B错误。
A.In a hospital.B.At a coffee shop.C.At a laundry.D.In a hotel. √解析：解析：男士说给6个宾馆写了信，其中一个给了他第一份工作。
因此答案为D。
A“医院”、B“咖啡店”和C“干洗店”均与男士所述不符。
A.Getting along well with colleagues.B.Paying attention to every detail. √C.Planning everything in advance.D.Knowing the needs of customers.解析：解析：对话中男士说做好工作的秘诀是关注细节、热爱工作、有激情。
B属于其中之一，故为答案。
A“与同事好好相处”、C“提前计划好所有事情”和D“知道顾客的需求”均属随意捏造，原文无相关信息支持。
（分数：8.00）A.The pocket money British children get. √B.The annual inflation rate in Britain.C.The things British children spend money on.D.The rising cost of raising a child in Britain.解析：解析：对话开头就提到这个数据表是关于英国儿童的零花钱的。
因此答案为A。
pocket money为原文高频词组，由此也可以推测本对话的主题，可依据主题答题。
B“英国的年通货膨胀率”、C“英国孩子花钱购买的物品”及D“在英国养育孩子上涨的成本”均与录音所述不符。
A.It enables children to live better.B.It goes down during economic recession.C.It often rises higher than inflation. √D.It has gone up 25% in the past decade.解析：解析：对话中女士问过男士如何看待零用钱的上升常常高于通货膨胀。

知识模块：听力听力原文：Some American schools pay teachers more if their students improve on tests. [3]Now, there is a growing movement to pay the students, in some cases, even just for coming to class. Schools that pay students can be found in more than one-fourth of the fifty states. Other schools pay students with food or other rewards. Last year, the city schools in Coshocton, Ohio, launched a programme. They wanted to see if paying elementary school students as much as one hundred dollars would help in passing state exams. [4]Now, Eric Bettinger of Case Western Reserve University has reported mixed results. Math scores increased, but only while students were able to get paid. And there was no evidence of higher scores in reading, social studies and science. Officials will decide later this year whether to continue the programme. 3. What should American students do to get paid from schools?4. What’s the result of the programme to pay students?3．A．Give teachers extra help.B．Engage in many activities.C．Show up in class.D．Offer constructive advice.正确答案：C解析：新闻开篇部分提到，现在有些美国学校推出一项新举措：奖励成绩有进步的学生，甚至学生仅仅因为到学校上课就可得到奖励。

If that happens, the changes would come into effect in July.The European Union has been debating tougher laws for years with little progress. But the terror attacks in Paris in January and November gave new urgency to the discussion. EU leaders said in December they would “rapidly examine” the proposals, with the aim of approving them in February.Europe already bans all automatic weapons, plus some semi-automatic guns widely available in the United States.

Sometimes however, a couple cannot have a child of their own. In this case, they may decide to adopt a child. In fact, adoption is very common today. There are about 60,000 adoptions each year in the United States alone. Some people prefer to adopt infants. Others adopt older children. Some couples adopt children from their own countries. Others adopt children from foreign countries. In any case, they all adopt children for the same reason: they care about children and want to give their adopted child a happy life. Most adopted children know that they are adopted. Psychologists and childcare experts generally think this is a good idea. However, many adopted children or adoptees have very little information about their biological parents. As a matter of fact, it is often very difficult for adoptees to find out about their birth parents, because the birth records of most adoptees are usually sealed. The information is secret, so no one can see it. Naturally, adopted children have different feelings about their birth parents. Many adoptees want to search for them, but others do not. The decision to search for birth parents is a difficult one to make. Most adoptees have mixed feelings about finding their biological parents. Even though adoptees do not know about their natural parents, they do know that their adoptive parents want them, love them and will care for them.Questions 16 to 19 are based on the passage you have just heard.16. According to the speaker, why do some couples adopt children?17. Why is it difficult for adoptees to find out about their birth parents?18.

It protects you from minor and major medical expenses that can wipe out not only your savings but your dreams of an education abroad. There are often two different types of health insurance you can consider buying: international travel insurance and student insurance in the country where you will be going. An international travel insurance policy is usually purchased in your home country before you go abroad. It generally covers a wide variety of medical services and you are often given a list of doctors in the area where you will travel who may even speakyour native language. The drawback might be that you may not get your money back immediately. In other words, you may have to pay all your medical expenses and then later submit your receipts to the insurance company. On the other hand, getting student health insurance in the country where you will study might allow you to only pay a certain percentage of the medical cost at the time of service and thus you don’t have to have sufficient cash to pay the entire bill at once. Whatever you decide, obtaining some form of health insurance is something you should consider before you go overseas. You shouldn’t wait until you are sick with major medical bills to pay off.Questions 23 to 25 are based on the passage you have just heard.23. Why does the speaker advise overseas students to buy health insurance?24. What is the drawback of students’ buying international travel insurance?25. What does the speaker say about students’ getting health insurance in the country where they will study?23．A．It’ll enable them to enjoy the best medical care.B．It’ll allow them to receive free medical treatment.C．It’ll protect them from possible financial crises.D．It’ll prevent the doctors from overcharging them.正确答案：C 涉及知识点：听力24．A．They can’t immediately get back the money paid for their medical cost.B．They have to go through very complicated application procedures.C．They can only visit doctors who speak their native languages.D．They may not be able to receive timely medical treatment.正确答案：A 涉及知识点：听力25．A．They don’t have to pay for the medical services.B．They needn’t pay the entire medical bill at once.C．They must send the receipts to the insurance company promptly.D．They have to pay a much higher price to get an insurance policy.正确答案：B 涉及知识点：听力。

Main Street was always the heart of a town. This street was lined on the both sides with many 37 businesses. Here, shoppers walked into stores to look at all sorts of merchandise: clothing, furniture, hardware, groceries. In addition, some shops offered 38 . There shops included drugstores, restaurants, shoe repair stores, and barber or hairdressing shops. But in the 1950s, a change began to 39 place. Too many automobiles had crowded into Main Street while too few parking places were 40 to shoppers. Because the streets were crowded, merchants began to look with interest at the openspaces outside the city limits. Open space is what their car driving customers needed. And open space is what they got when the first shopping center was built. Shopping centers, or rather malls, 41 as a collection of small new stores away from crowded city centers. 42 by hundreds of free parking space, customers were drawn away from 43 areas to outlying malls. And the growing 44 of shopping centers led in turn to the building of bigger and better stocked stores. By the late 1970s, many shopping malls had almost developed into small cities themselves. In addition to providing the 45 of the stop shopping, malls were transformed into landscaped parks, with benches, fountains, and outdoor entertainment.［A］ designed ［F］convenience ［K］cosmetics［B］ take ［G］ services［L］started［C］ Early ［H］ fame ［M］downtown［D］ Attracted ［I］various ［N］available［E］ though ［J］ popularity ［O］ cheapness Section BDirections: In this section, you are going to read a passage with ten statements attached to it. Each statement contains information given in one of the paragraphs. Identify the paragraph from which the information is derived. You may choose a paragraph more than once. Each paragraph is marked with a letter. Answer the questions by making the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 2.The Art of FriendshipA) One evening a few years ago I found myself in an anxiety. Nothing was really wrong my family and I were healthy, my career was busy and successful -- I was just feeling vaguely down and in need of a friend who could raise my spirits, someone whowould meet me for coffee and let merant until the clouds lifted.I dialed my best friend, who now lives across the country in California, and got her voice mail. That's when it started to dawn on me -- lonesomeness was at the root of my dreariness. My social life had dwindled to almost nothing, but somehow until that moment I'd been too busy to notice. Now it hit me hard. My old friends, buddies since college or even childhood, know everything about me; when they left, they had taken my context with them.B) Research has shown the long-range negative consequences of social isolation on one's health. But my concerns were more short-term. I needed to feel understood right then in the way that only a girlfriend can understand you. I knew it would be wrong to expect my husband to replace my friends: He couldn't, and even if he could, to whom would I then complain about my husband? So I resolved to acquire new friends -- women like me who had kids and enjoyed rolling their eyes at the world a little bit just as I did. Since I'd be making friends with more intention than I'd ever given the process, I realized I could be selective, that I could in effect design my own social life. The down side, of course, was that I felt pretty frightened.C) After all, it's a whole lot harder to make friends in midlife that it is when you’re younger -- a fact woman I've spoken with point out again and again. As Leslie Danzig, 41, a Chicago theater director and mother, sees it, when you're in your teens and 20s, you're more or less friends with everyone unless there's a reason not to be. Your college roommate becomes your best pal at least partly due to proximity. Now there needs to be a reason to be friends. "There are many people I'm comfort-able around,but I wouldn't go so far as to call them friends. Comfort isn't enough to sustain a real friendship," Danzig says.D) At first, finding new companions felt awkward. At 40 I couldn't run up to people the way my4-year-old daughters do in the playground and ask, "Will you be my friend? Every time you start anew relationship, you're vulnerable again," agrees Kathleen Hall, D Min, founder and CEO of the Stress Institute, in Atlanta. "You're asking, 'Would you like to come into my life?' It makes us self-conscious."E) Fortunately, my discomfort soon passed. I realized that as a mature friend seeker my vulnerability risk was actually pretty low. If someone didn't take me up on my offer, so what: I wasn't in junior high, when I might have been rejected for having the wrong clothes or hair. At my age I have amassed enough self-esteem to realize that I have plenty to offer.F) We're all so busy, in fact, that mutual interests -- say, in a project, class, or cause that we already make time for -- become the perfect catalysts for bringing us in contact with candidates for camaraderie. Michelle Meters, 35, a teacher and mother of two in Wausau, Wisconsin, says anew friend she made at church came as a pleasant surprise. "In high school I chose friends based on their popularity and how being part of their circle might reflect on me. Now's it's our shared values and activities that count." Meters says her pal, with whom she organized the church's youth programs, is nothing like her but their drive and organizational skills make them ideal friends.G) Happily, as awkward as making new friends can be, self-esteem issues do not factor in -- or if they do, you can easily put them into perspective. Danzig tells of the mother of a child in her son's pre-school, a tall, beautiful woman who is married to a big-deal rock musician. "I said to my husband, she's too cool for me,'" she jokes. "Iget intimidated by people. But once I got to know her, she turned out to be pretty laid-back and friendly." In the end there was no chemistry between them, so they didn't become good pals. "I realized that we weren't each other's type, but it wasn't about hierarchy." What midlife friendship is about, it seems, is reflecting the person you've become (or are still becoming) back at yourself, thus reinforcing the progress you've made in your life.H) Harlene Katzman, 41, a lawyer in New York City, notes that her oldest friends knew her back when she was less sure of herself. As much as she loves them, she believes they sometimes respond to is-sues in light of who she once was. An old chum has the goods on you. With recently made friends, you can turn over a new leaf.I) A new friend, chosen right, can also help you point your boat in the direction you want to go. Hanna Dershowitz, 39, an attorney and mother in Los Angeles, found that a new acquaintance from work was exactly what she needed in a friend. In addition to。
