The confused creature and camera-holding humans stared at each other through a fence for several minutes. At other times the cow wandered around the 526-acre park and the artificial grass field normally used for human sporting events. Officers used soccer goals to fence the animal in. However, the cow then moved through one of the nets, knocking down a police officer in the process. Police eventually trapped the cow between two vehicles parked on either side of a baseball field's bench area. An officer then shot an arrow to put it to sleep. Then officers waited for the drug to take effect. After it fell asleep they loaded the cow into a horse trailer. It was not clear where the cow came from or how it got lost. Police turned it over to the animal control department after they caught it. Questions I and 2 are based on the news report you have just heard. 1. A. A wandering cow was captured by the police. B.

According to the park's manager, Mr. Villiers, the goal is not just to clear up the park. He says visitors are already good at keeping things clean. Instead, he wants to show that nature itself can teach us to take care of the environment. He says that rooks, the chosen birds, are considered to be particularly intelligent. In the right circumstances, they even like to communicate with humans and establish a relationship through play. The birds will be encouraged to clean the park through the use of a small box that delivers a small amount of bird food. Each time, the rook deposits a cigarette end or a small piece of rubbish. So far, visitors to the theme park have been excited to see the birds in action. However, some parents are concerned that it encourages their children to drop litter so they can watch the birds to pick it up. Villiers is not concerned about this criticism. He maintains most of the feedback he has received has been overwhelmingly positive. He hopes now to train more birds. Questions 5 to 7 are based on the news report you have just heard. 5. A. Amuse visitors. B. Deliver messages. C. Pick up trash. D. Play with children. 6. A. They are children's favorite. B. They are especially intelligent. C. They are clean and pretty. D.

2019 年 06 ⽉真题（第⼆套）⼥性与领导⼒ Women andLeadership
According to the majority of Americans, women are every bit as capable
of being good as men.
The same can be said of their ability to dominate the corporate
boardroom.
And according to a new survey on women and
leadership, most Americans find women indistinguishable from men on
key leadership traits such as intelligence and capacity for innovation,
with many saying they're stronger than men in terms of being
passionate and organized leaders.
So why, then, are women in short supply at the top of government and
business in the United States?
According to the public, at least, it's not that they lack toughness,
management talent or proper skill sets.
It's also not all about work-life balance.
Although economic research and previous survey findings have shown
that career interruptions related to motherhood may make it harder for political leaders

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 marking the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 2. A South Korean city designed for the future takes on a life of its own [A] Getting around a city is one thing—and then there5s the matter of getting from one city to another. One vision of the perfect city of the future is a place that offers easy access to air travel. In 2011, a University of North Carolina business professor named John Kasarda published a book called Aerotropolis: The Way We’ll Live Next. Kasarda says future cities should be built intentionally around or near airports. The idea, as he has put it, is to offer businesses “rapid, long-distance connectivity on a massive scale.” [B] “The 18th century really was a waterborne (水运的) century, the 19th century a rail century,’’ century a highway, car, truck century—and the 21st century will increasingly be an aviation century, as the globe becomes increasingly connected by air,55 Kasarda says. Songdo, a city built from scratch in South Korea, is one of Kasarda’s prime examples. It has existed for just a few years. “From the outset, it was designed on the basis of connectivity and competitivenesss,” says Kasarda. “The government built the bridge directly from the airport to the Songdo International Business District. And the surface infrastructure was built at the same time as the new airport.” [C] Songdo is a stone’s throw from South Korea’s Incheon Airport, its main international hub (枢纽). But it takes a lot more than a nearby airport to be a city of the future. Just building a place as an "international business district” doesn’t mean it will become one. Park Yeon Soo conceived (构想) this city of the future back in 1986. He considers Songdo his baby. Park sees himself as a visionary. Thirty years after he imagined the city, Park5s baby is close to 70 percent built, with 36,000 people living in the business district and 90,000 residents in greater Songdo. It’s about an hour outside Seoul, built on former tidal flats along the Yellow Sea. There’s a Coast Guard building and a tall trade tower, as well as a park, golf course and university. [D] Chances are you’ve actually seen this place. Songdo appears in the most famous music video ever to come out of South Korea. “Gangnam Style” refers to the fashionable Gangnam district in Seoul. But some of the video was filmed in Songdo. “I don’t know if you remember, there was a scene in a subway station. That was not Gangnam. That was actually Songdo, says Jung Won Son, a professor of urban development at London’ Bartlett School of Planning. “Part of the reason to shoot there is that it’s new and nice.” [E] The city was supposed to be a hub for global companies, with employees from all over the world. But that’s not how it has turned out. Songdo’ reputation is as a futuristic ghost town. But the reality is more complicated. A bridge with big, light-blue loops leads into the business district. In the center of the main road, there’s a long line of flags of the world. On the comer, there’s a Starbucks and a 7-Eleven—all of the international brands that you see all over the world nowadays. [F] The city is not empty. There are mothers pushing baby carriages, old women with walkers—even in the middle of the day, when it5s 90 degrees out. Byun Young-Jin chairs the Songdo real estate association and started selling property here when the first phase of the city opened in 2005. He says demand has boomed in the past couple of years. Most of his clients
