Can I help you?W: Hello. I read about your club in the paper today and I thought I’d phone to find out a big more.M: Y es. Certainly. Well. We’re a sor t of social club for people from different countries. It’s quite a new club. We have about 50 members at the moment, but we’re growing all the time.W: That sounds interesting. I’m British actually, and I came to Washington about three months ago. I’m loo king for ways to meet people. What kinds of events do you organize?M: Well, we have social get-togethers and sports events and we also have language evenings.W: Could you tell me something about the language evenings?M: Y es. Everyday except Thursday we have a language evening. People can come and practice their languages. Y ou know, over a cocoa or something. We havedifferent languages on different evenings. Monday, Spanish; Tuesday, Italian; Wednesday, German; and Friday, French. On Thursday we usually have a meal in a restaurant for anyone who wants to come.W: Well, that sounds great.

If you join now, you can have the first month free.例题M: Excuse me. Can you tell me how much the shirt is?W: Y es. It's nine fifteen.Text 1W: Jack, how do you like the play?M: It’s a simple story with a happy ending, but, luckily, they had a very strong actor, he managed to carry the whole play.Text 2M: Have we missed it? The man said it’s only five blocks away opposite the bank.W: Wait a minute, the Chinese restaurant, the national bank, there it is, the Radisson Hotel.Text 3M: Let’s meet at 20 to 5.W: Well. Could we make it 20 past 5?W: That’s a bit late for me. I could manage 10 past.M: OK. See you then.Text 4M: What time are we leaving for the outing?W: I’ll phone you tomorrow. I should have everything sorted out by then.Text 5W: Tha nks for all you’ve done for me. Hey, listen, would you like to go to see a film sometime?M: Y eah, that’d be great. I’d love it.Text 6W: Hey, where is everybody?M: They took Ben to the park. Where have you been?W: Sorry, I’m late. I picked up the cake and it took me longer than I expected.

I’m afraid not. What is that then?W: Well, it is here in today’s paper. Parents may think they are protecting children from second-hand smoke when they smoke outside their home or only when the children are not there. But now researchers are warning about what they call third-hand smoke. When you smoke dangerous matter from cigarettes get into your hair and clothing. As babies are the weakest, when you come to a baby, you pass it to the baby and increase the chances of disease in the baby.M: Is that so? In that case I have to say that I should never get close to a baby.W: That’s right. Actually all smoking parents s hould do the same or better give it up completely.Text 9M: Hello, welcome to our program “Today City”. I’m Larry. We’re going to Louisville Kentucky where our guest Michelle Ray comes from. She is proud of her middle-sized city with a small town feel and big city dreams. Now, Michelle, tell us about your city.W: Thank you, Larry. Here is my city. Louisville is my city. The first place I take visitors from out of town is to the Highlands for shopping and night life. When I have delicious Asian food I always go to the Zen Garden which provides wonderful all vegetable dishes.M: Wow, that’s interesting. Many people go for healthy food now.W: Y ou can say that again. If I want to go camping and fishing, I go to the Red River area. For complete quiet I can hide away in my house with a good book from one of our public libraries.M: That all sounds very exciting. I’m sure some of our listeners will include Louisville in their travel plan for their next holiday. Thank you, Michelle.Text 10M: We are glad to have Dr. Garfield to talk to us today about dreams. Let me start by asking the first question. Does everyone dream?W: It appears that everyone does. Mostly when people say that they never dream, what they really mean is that they don’t remember their dreams or they don’t think their dreams are important. The reason behind is that they might have been made fun of with a child when they first reported their dreams or it was so frightening that they just turned off dreaming completely. The other day, someone named Davis came to me and said that he used to be a great dreamer, but suddenly he stopped having dreams. I asked him what it happened. It turned out that his brother died by heart attack and he never expected that such a terrible thing would happe n to a young person. Generally, when there was some frightening event and dream about it was too terrible. People prefer not to dream about it. Actually the worst thing you can do isstop dreaming. Because it means that the bad experience would be too painful to even appear in dreams. As long as you dream about it and even the dream is frightening, your mind is working on it. My personal opinion about what dreams do is that they help us deal with our problems. We see certain patterns take place in dreams. When a person is hurt deep inside, when a person is seriously ill or when a person has been really sad, if people turn off their dreams totally, it means they don’t love themselves to even think about it.听力参考答案：CABBA CBACB CAABC CABAC。

The member states all use English as a common working language and have similar legal and education systems, but represent nearly every religion, race and political system on the planet. The Common Wealth is active in a huge number of areas such as health and economics. The heads of government meeting is held every two years where the leaders of the member states get together to discuss current issues. Common Wealth Day is held in the second week of March every year when Common Wealth’s citizens, particularly children, have a chance to celebrate their friendship. The Common Wealth also holds sporting and arts events. There is an annual writer’s price and a yearly arts and crafts competition. Perhaps the most well-known event sponsored by organization is the Common Wealth games, which is held every four years in one of the member countries. The games have gained another name, the friendly games because of their reputation for good-natured competitiveness.Q： 11. What do the member states of the Common Wealth have in common?12. What do people do on Common Wealth Day according to the passage?13. What is the passage mainly about?Blank 14-16 are based on the following speech.There is a popular belief that a college education is something to be endured in order to become qualified to obtain certain kinds of jobs or to go to graduate school. This is not what we are trying to do at Harvard. The most obvious goal of a college educationer is to give knowledge, but it is far from the most important. Remarkably few of the facts you learn here will remain in your memory for many years, and some of those that do might be proved false by new knowledge. At Harvard, we have looked to other things we can give that will last a little longer. Among these things are certain habits of mind, such as the ability to have more critical analysis, to make more accurate and logical use of information and so forth. In addition to these habits of thought, it is our hope that we can help you develop certain attitudes of mind like a willingness to accept uncertainty and the lack of definite truth. Beyond providing these qualities, a college education should try to lay a foundation for the creative use of leisure time which can be cultivated in the classroom. Yet, the cultivation of this ability will also occur outside of the classroom. For example, on sports fields, in music rooms, and so on.Q：14. Which of the following is regarded as the most important at Harvard?15. Which quality mentioned below can be cultivated both inside and outside theclassroom?16. What is the speech mainly about?Section CBlank 17-20 are based on the following conversation.W: Good morning! Green Sense. Can I help you?M: Hello, my name is Mary White and I want to complain about a sea food restaurant. W: OK, can I take down your telephone number?M: My phone number is 655038.W: Good! So what would you like to complain about?M: Actually two things. First, the restaurant dumps its rubbish on the street and you can imagine what that attracts—rats!W: Right! I’ve got that! And the second problem?M: The restaurant doesn’t put bottles and cans in recycling bins. It’s not responsible.W: Got it! What’s the address of the sea food restaurant?M: It’s 449 Shanghai Street.W: OK! We’ll look into it and call you back.M: Thank you. Goodbye!Complete the form. Write ONE WORD for each answer.Blank 21-24 are based on the following conversation.W: What’s the article about?M: It’s basically about memory. And it says you’ve got three memories: short term, medium term and long term.W: Um…M: They say that short term memory lasts only a few seconds. So you just sort of read something and you remember the beginning of the sentence just until you get to the end of the sentence.W: Um…M: And then medium term memory. The example they give is something like trying to remember that you’ve got to buy bread.W: Like a sort of a shopping list of things to do?M: Yeah! After you buy bread, you don’t need to store that memory. So it’s erased.W: Just sort of a day-to-day management.M: Eh…then long-term memory.

Yes, we all have our phones, but many of us still like to go old school and read something printed.Well, there’s a kiosk (小亭) for that. In the San Francisco Bay Area, at least.“You enter the fare gates (检票口) and you’ll see a kiosk that is lit up and it tells you can get a one-minute, a three-minute, or a five-minute story,” says Alicia Trost, the chief communications officer for the San Francisco Bay Area Rapid Transit — known as BART. “You choose which length you want and it gives you a receipt-like short story.”It’s that simple. Riders have printed nearly 20,000 short stories and poems since the program was launched last March. Some are classic short stories, and some are new original works.Trost also wants to introduce local writers to local riders. “We wanted to do something where we do a call to artists in the Bay Area to submit stories for a contest,” Trost says. “And as of right now, we’ve received about 120 submissions. The winning stories would go into our kiosk and then you would be a published artist.”Ridership on transit (交通) systems across the country has been down the past half century, so could short stories save transit?Trost thinks so.“At the end of the day all transit agencies right now are doing everything they can to improve the rider experience. So I absolutely think we will get more riders just because of short stories,” she says.And you’ll never be without something to read.4．Why did BART start the kiosk program?A．To promote the local culture.B．To discourage phone use.C．To meet passengers’ needs.D．To reduce its running costs.5．How are the stories categorized in the kiosk?A．By popularity.B．By length.C．By theme.D．By language.6．What has Trost been doing recently?A．Organizing a story contest.B．Doing a survey of customers.C．Choosing a print publisher.D．Conducting interviews with artists.7．What is Trost’s opinion about BART’s future?A．It will close down.B．Its profits will decline.C．It will expand nationwide.D．Its ridership will increase.We all know fresh is best when it comes to food. However, most produce at the store went through weeks of travel and covered hundreds of miles before reaching the table. While farmer’s markets are a solid choice to reduce the journey, Babylon Micro-Farm (BMF) shortens it even more.BMF is an indoor garden system. It can be set up for a family. Additionally, it could serve a larger audience such as a hospital, restaurant or school. The innovative design requires little effort to achieve a reliable weekly supply of fresh greens.Specifically, it’s a farm that relies on new technology. By connecting through the Cloud, BMF is remotely monitored. Also, there is a convenient app that provides growing data in real time. Because the system is automated, it significantly reduces the amount of water needed to grow plants. Rather than watering rows of soil, the system provides just the right amount to each plant. After harvest, users simply replace the plants with a new pre-seeded pod (容器) to get the next growth cycle started.Moreover, having a system in the same building where it’s eaten means zero emissions (排放) from transporting plants from soil to salad. In addition, there’s no need for pesticides and other chemicals that pollute traditional farms and the surrounding environment.BMF employees live out sustainability in their everyday lives. About half of them walk or bike to work. Inside the office, they encourage recycling and waste reduction by limiting garbage cans and avoiding single-use plastic. “We are passionate about reducing waste, carbon and chemicals in our environment,” said a BMF employee.8．What can be learned about BMF from paragraph 1?A．It guarantees the variety of food.B．It requires day-to-day care.C．It cuts the farm-to-table distance.D．It relies on farmer’s markets.9．What information does the convenient app offer?A．Real-time weather changes.B．Current condition of the plants.C．Chemical pollutants in the soil.D．Availability of pre-seeded pods.10．What can be concluded about BMF employees?A．They have a great passion for sports.B．They are devoted to community service.C．They are fond of sharing daily experiences.D．They have a strong environmental awareness.11．What does the text mainly talk about?A．BMF’s major strengths.B．BMF’s general management.C．BMF’s global influence.D．BMF’s technical standards.Given the astonishing potential of AI to transform our lives, we all need to take action to deal with our AI-powered future, and this is where AI by Design: A Plan for Living with Artificial Intelligence comes in. This absorbing new book byCatriona Campbell is a practical roadmap addressing the challenges posed by the forthcoming AI revolution (变革).In the wrong hands, such a book could prove as complicated to process as the computer code (代码) that powers AI but, thankfully, Campbell has more than two decades’ professional experience translating the heady into the understandable. She writes from the practical angle of a business person rather than as an academic, making for a guide which is highly accessible and informative and which, by the close, will make you feel almost as smart as AI.As we soon come to learn from AI by Design, AI is already super-smart and will become more capable, moving from the current generation of “narrow-AI” to Artificial General Intelligence. From there, Campbell says, will come Artificial Dominant Intelligence. This is why Campbell has set out to raise awareness of AI and its future now-several decades before these developments are expected to take place. She says it is essential that we keep control of artificial intelligence, or risk being sidelined and perhaps even worse.Campbell’s point is to wake up those responsible for AI-the technology companies and world leaders-so they are on the same page as all the experts currently developing it. She explains we are at a “tipping point” in history and must act now to prevent an extinction-level event for humanity. We need to consider how we want our future with Al to pan out. Such structured thinking, followed by global regulation, will enable us to achieve greatness rather than our downfall.AI will affect us all, and if you only read one book on the subject, this is it.12．What does the phrase “In the wrong hands” in paragraph 2 probably mean?A．If read by someone poorly educated.B．If reviewed by someone ill-intentioned.C．If written by someone less competent.D．If translated by someone unacademic.13．What is a feature of AI by Design according to the text?A．It is packed with complex codes.B．It adopts a down-to-earth writing style.C．It provides step-by-step instructions.D．It is intended for AI professionals.14．What does Campbell urge people to do regarding AI development?A．Observe existing regulations on it.B．Reconsider expert opinions about it.C．Make joint efforts to keep it under control.D．Learn from prior experience to slow it down.15．What is the author’s purpose in writing the text?A．To recommend a book on AI.B．To give a brief account of AI history.C．To clarify the definition of AI.D．To honor an outstanding AI expert.Overtourism Is For Real: How Can Y ou Help?Travel promotes understanding, expands our minds, makes us better people, and boosts local economies and communities, but the rapid growth of travel has led to overtourism in certain regions and destinations. 16 Certainly not. The loss of what travel offers would be unacceptable in today’s world. Here are some tips on making wise decisions tominimize pressure on the places we visit and improve our experience.●Choose mindfully. Overvisited destinations are that way for a reason: they’re special. With so many online posts featuring the same places, it’s easy to feel like you’re missing out. Go somewhere only when the landscape, culture or food deeply draws you. 17●Get creative. The best way to ease pressure on over-touristed destinations is to go somewhere else. Though overtourism is described as a problem affecting the entire world, it’s actually concentrated to a small number of extremely popular spots. That means you have tons of less-visited options to choose from. 18 Why not try a regional alternative or check out a popular destination’s lesser-known sights?● 19 Minimize impact and maximize experience by skipping major holidays or rush hour. You’ll compete with fewer tourists, save money, experience a different side of a popular place, and boost the economy when tourism is traditionally slower.Visiting a place that others call home is a privilege (荣幸). Do your part to preserve what makes a destination special in the first place. 20 You may be amazed how much closer you’ll feel to the people there.A．Visit during off-peak times.B．So, should we stop traveling?C．Travel for you and no one else.D．Can overtourism be avoided then?E．You can still find relatively undiscovered places.F．You’ll find yourself virtually alone, or close to it.G．Consider giving back to the communities you’re visiting.二、完形填空When I decided to buy a house in Europe ten years ago, I didn't think too long. I liked traveling in France, but when it came to picking my favorite spot to 21 , Italy was the clear winner.During my first visit to Italy, I 22 to ask for directions or order in a restaurant.

After I made Italy my permanent home, I discovered how 26 Italians are. Neighbors will bring me freshly made cheese and will come to my door to 27 me to close the window in my car when rain is coming. It's these small 28 of kindness that make a new country feel like home.As a foodie, the way to my heart is through my stomach, and nowhere fuels my 29 quite like Italy. Each town has its own traditional 30 , and every family keeps a recipe passed from one generation to another. Families 31 for big meals on Sundays, birthdays, and whatever other excuses they can 32 . These meals are always 33 by laughter and joy. Whatever 34 life in Italy might have, the problems are 35 once you sit down to a big meal with friends and family.21．A．study B．rent C．visit D．settle22．A．planned B．struggled C．refused D．happened23．A．string B．hang C．mix D．match24．A．improved B．assessed C．admired D．praised25．A．course B．barrier C．area D．test26．A．open-minded B．strong-willed C．warm-hearted D．well-informed27．A．remind B．allow C．persuade D．order28．A．tricks B．promises C．acts D．duties29．A．ambition B．success C．appetite D．growth30．A．costume B．dish C．symbol D．tale31．A．gather B．cheer C．leave D．wait32．A．put up with B．stand up for C．come up with D．make up for33．A．signaled B．confirmed C．represented D．accompanied34．A．disadvantages B．meanings C．surprises D．opportunities35．A．created B．forgotten C．understood D．identified三、语法填空阅读下面短文, 在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。
