If current trends continue, then by 2050 there will be more than a million in the US alone. According to the work of Professor James Vaupel and his co-researchers, 50% of babies born in the US in 2007 have a life expectancy of 104 or more. Broadly the same holds for the UK, Germany, France, Italy and Canada, and for Japan 50% of 2007 babies can expect to live to 107.B.Understandably, there are concerns about what this means for public financesgiven the associated health and pension challenges. These challenges are real, and society urgently needs to address them. But it is also important to look at the wider picture of what happens when so many people live for 100 years.It is a mistake to simply equate longevity (长寿) with issues of old age.Longer lives have implications for all of life, not just the end of it. C.Our view is that if many people are living for longer, and are healthier forlonger, then this will result in an inevitable redesign of work and life. When people live longer, they are not only older for longer, but also younger for longer. There is some truth in the saying that “70 is the new 60”or “40 the new 30.”If you age more slowly over a longer time period, then you are in some sense younger for longer.D.But the changes go further than that. Take, for instance, the age at whichpeople make commitments such as buying a house, getting married, havingchildren, or starting a career. These are all fundamental commitments thatare now occurring later in life. In 1962, 50% of Americans were married by age 21. By 2014, that milestone(里程碑)had shifted to age 29.E.While there are numerous factors behind these shifts, one factor is surelya growing realization for the young that they are going to live longer. Optionsare more valuable the longer they can be held. So if you believe you will live longer, then options become more valuable, and early commitment becomes less attractive. The result is that the commitments that previously characterized the beginning of adulthood are now being delayed, and new patterns of behavior and a new stage of life are emerging for those in their twenties.F.Longevity also pushes back the age of retirement, and not only for financialreasons. Yes, unless people are prepared to save a lot more, our calculations suggest that if you are now in your mid-40s, then you are likely to work until your early 70s; and if you are in your early 20s, there is a real chance you will need to work until your late 70s or possibly even into your 80s. But even if people are able to economically support a retirement at 65, over thirty years of potential inactivity is harmful to cognitive(认知的) and emotional vitality. Many people may simply not want to do it.G.And yet that does not mean that simply extending our careers is appealing.Just lengthening that second stage of full-time work may secure the financial assets needed for a 100-year life, but such persistent work will inevitably exhaust precious intangible assets such as productive skills, vitality,happiness, and friendship.H.The same is true for education. It is impossible that a single shot ofeducation, administered in childhood and early adulthood, will be able to support a sustained, 60-year career. If you factor in the projected rates of technological change, either your skills will become unnecessary, or your industry outdated. That means that everyone will, at some point in their life, have to make a number of major reinvestments in their skills.A.It seems likely, then, that the traditional three-stage life will evolve intomultiple stages containing two, three, or oven more different careers. Each of these stages could potentially be different. In one the focus could be on building financial success and personal achievement, in another on creatinga better work/life balance, still another on exploring and understandingoptions more fully, or becoming an independent producer, yet another on makinga social Contribution. These stages will span sectors, take people to differentcities, and provide Foundation for building a wide variety of skills.J) Transitions between stages could be marked with sabbaticals (休假) as people find tim rest and recharge their health, re-invest in their relationships, or improve their skills. At times,these breaks and transitions will be self-determined, at others they will be forced as existing roles, firms, or industries cease to exist.K）A multi-stage life will have profound changes not just in how you manage your career, but also in your approach to life. An increasingly important skill will be your ability to deal with change and even welcome it. A three-stage life has few transitions, while a multi-stage life has many. That is why being self-aware,investing in broader networks of friends, and being open to new ideas will become even more crucial skills.L）These multi-stage lives will create extraordinary variety across groups of people simply because there are so many ways of sequencing the stages. More stages mean more possible sequences.M）With this variety will come the end of the close association of age and stage.I n a three-stage life, people leave university at the same time and the same age, they tend to start their careers and family at the same age, they proceed through middle management all roughly the same time, and then move into retirement within a few years of each other. In a multi-stage life, you could be an undergraduate at 20, 40, or 60; a manager at 30, 50, or 70; and become an independent producer at any age.N）Current life structures, career paths, educational choices, and social norms are out of tune with the emerging reality of longer lifespans. The three-stage life of full-time education, followed by continuous work, and then complete retirement may have worked for our parents or even grandparents, but it is not relevant today. We believe that to focus on longevity as primarily an issue of aging is to miss its full implications. Longevity is not necessarily about being older for longer. It is about living longer, being older later, and being younger longer.36. An extended lifespan in the future will allow people to have more careers than now.37. Just extending one’s career may have both positive and negative effects.38. Nowadays, many Americans have on average delayed their marriage by some eight years.39. Because of their longer lifespan, young people today no longer follow the pattern of life of their parents or grandparents.40. Many more people will be expected to live over 100 by the mid-21st century.41. A longer life will cause radical changes in people’s approach to lif e.42. Fast technological change makes it necessary for one to constantly upgrade their skills.43. Many people may not want to retire early because it would do harm to their mental and emotional well-being.44. The close link between age and stage may cease to exist in a multi-stage life.45. People living a longer and healthier life will have to rearrange their work and life.【参考答案】36-40 IGDNA41-45 KHFMCSection C Passage One Questions 46 to 50 are based on the following passage.In the classic marriage vow（誓约）, couples promise to stay together in sickness and in health. But a new study finds that the risk of divorce among older couples rises when the wife-not the husband—becomes seriously ill.“Married women diagnosed with a serious health condition may find themselves struggling with the impact of their disease while also experiencing the stress of divorce,”said researcher Amelia Karraker.Karraker and co-author Kenzie Latham analyzed 20 years of data on 2,717 marriages from a study conducted by Indiana University since 1992. At the time of the first interview, at least one of the partners was over the age of 50.The researchers examined how the onset（发生）of four serious physical illnesses affected marriages. They found that, overall, 31% of marriages ended in divorce over the period studied. The incidence of new chronic（慢性的）illness onset increased over time as will, with more husbands than wives developing serious health problems.“We found that women are doubly vulnerable to marital break-up in the face of illness,”Karraker said.“They’re more likely to be widowed, and if they’re the noes who become ill, they’re more likely to get divorced.”While the study didn’t assess why divorce in more likely when wives but not husbands become seriously ill, Karraker offers a few possible reasons. “Gender norms and social expectations about caregiving many make it more difficult for men to provide care to sick spouses,”Karraker said. “And because of the imbalance in marriage markets, especially in older ages, divorced men have more choices among prospective partners than divorced women.”Given the increasing concern about health care costs for the aging population, Karraker believes policymakers should be aware of the relationship between disease and risk of divorce.“Offering support services to spouses caring for their other halves may reduce marital stress and prevent divorce at older ages,”she said. “But it’s also important to recognize that the pressure to divorce may be health-related and that sick ex-wives may need additional care and services to prevent worsening health and increased health costs.”46. What can we learn about marriage vows from the passage?A) They may not guarantee a lasting marriage.B) They are as binding as they used to be.C) They are not taken seriously any more.D) They may help couples tide over hard times.47. What did Karraker and co-author Kenzie Latham find about elderly husbands?A) They are generally not good at taking care of themselves.B) They can become increasingly vulnerable to serious illnesses.C) They can develop different kinds of illnesses just like their wives.D) They are more likely to contract serious illnesses than their wives.48. What does Karraker say about women who fall ill?A) They are more likely to be widowed.B) They are more likely to get divorced.C) They are less likely to receive good care.D) They are less likely to bother their spouses.49. Why is it more difficult for men to take care of their sick spouses according to Karraker?A) They are more accustomed to receiving care.B) They find it more important to make money for the family.C) They think it more urgent to fulfill their social obligations.D) They expect society to do more of the job.50. What does Karraker think is also important?A) Reducing marital stress on wives.B) Stabilizing old couples’s relations.C) Providing extra care for divorced women.D) Making men pay for their wives’health costs.Passage TwoQuestions 51 to 55 are based on the following passage.If you were like most children, you probably got upset when your mother called you by a sibling’s(兄弟姐妹的)name. How could she not know you? Did it mean she loved you less?Probably not. According to the first research to tackle this topic head-on, misnaming the most familiar people in our life is a common cognitive (认知的)error that has to do with how our memories classify and store familiar names.The study, published online in April in the journal Memory and Cognition,found that the “wrong”name is not random but is invariably fished out from the same relationship pond: children, siblings, friends. The study did not examine thepossibility of deep psychological significance to the mistake, says psychologist David Rubin, “but it does tell us who’s in and who’s out of the group.”The study also found that within that group, misnamings occurred where the names shared initial or internal sounds, like Jimmy and Joanie or John and Bob. Physical resemblance between people was not a factor. Nor was gender.The researchers conducted five separate surveys of more than 1,700 people. Some of the surveys included only college students; others were done with a mixed-age population. Some asked subjects about incidents where someone close to them—family or friend—had called them by another person’s name. The other surveys asked about times when subjects had themselves called someone close to them by the wrong name. All the surveys found that people mixed up names within relationship groups such as grandchildren, friends and siblings but hardly ever crossed these boundaries.In general, the study found that undergraduates were almost as likely as old people to make this mistake and men as likely as women. Older people and this mistake and men as likely as women. Older people and women made the mistake slightly more often, but that may be because grandparents have more grandchildren to mix up than parents have children. Also, mothers may call on their children more often than fathers, given traditional gender norms. There was no evidence that errors occurred more when the misnamer was frustrated, tired or angry.might people often feel when they were misnamed?A)Unwanted.B)Unhappy.C)Confused.D)Indifferent.did David Rubin’s research find about misnaming?A)It is related to the way our memories work.B)It is a possible indicator of a faulty memory.C)It occurs mostly between kids and their friends.D)It often causes misunderstandings among people.53. What is most likely the cause of misnaming?A) Similar personality traits.B) Similar spellings of names.C) Similar physical appearance.D) Similar pronunciation of names.54. What did the surveys of more than 1,700 subjects find about misnaming?A) It more often than not hurts relationships.B) It hardly occurs across gender boundaries.C) It is most frequently found in extended families.D) It most often occurs within a relationship groups.55. Why do mothers misname their children more often than fathers?A) They suffer more frustrations.B) They become worn out more often.C) They communicate more with their children.D) They generally take on more work at home.Part ⅣTranslation(30 minutes)Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to translate apassage from Chinese into English.

Part II Reading Comprehension (Skimming and Scanning) (15 minutes)Media Selection for AdvertisementsAfter determining the target audience for a product or service, advertising agencies must select the appropriate media for the advertisement. We discuss here the major types of media used in advertising. We focus on attention on seven types of advertising: television, newspapers, radio, magazines, out-of-home, Internet, and direct mail.TelevisionTelevision in an attractive medium for advertising because it delivers mass audiences to advertisers. When you consider that nearly three out of four Americans have seen the game show Who Wants to Be a Millionaire? you can understand the power of television to communicate with a large audience. When advertisers create a brand, for example, they want to impress consumers with the brand and its image. Television provides an ideal vehicle for this type of communication. But television is an expensive medium, and not all advertisers can afford to use it.Television’s influence on advertising is fourfold. First, narrowcasting means that television channels are seen by an increasingly narrow segment of the audience. the Golf Channel, for instance, is watched by people who play golf. Home and Garden Television is seen by those interested in household improvement projects. Thus, audiences are smaller and more homogeneous (具有共同特点的) than they have been in the past. Second, there is an increase in the number of television channels available to viewers, and thus, advertisers. This had also resulted in an increase in the sheer number of advertisements to which audiences are exposed. Third, digital recording devices allow audience members more control over which commercials they watch. Fourth, control over programming is being passed from the networks to local cable operators and satellite programmers.NewspapersAfter television, the medium attracting the next largest annual as revenue is newspapers. The New York Times, which reaches a national audience, accounts for $1 billion in ad revenue annually. It has increased its national circulation (发行量) by 40% and is now available for home delivery in 168 cities. Locally, newspapers are the largest advertising medium.Newspapers are a less expensive advertising medium than television and provide a way for advertisers to communicate a longer, more detailed message to their audience than they can through television. Given new production techniques, advertisements can be printed in about 48 hours, meaning newspapers are also a quick way of getting the message out. Newspapers are often the most important form of news for a local community, and they develop a high degree of loyalty from local readers.RadioAdvertising on radio continues to grow. Radio is often used in conjunction with outdoor bill-boards (广告牌) and the Internet to reach even more customers than television. Advertisers are likely to use radio because it is a less expensive medium than television, which means advertisers can afford to repeat their ads often. Internet companies are also turning to radio advertising. Radio provides a way for advertisers to communicate with audience members at all times of the day. Consumers listen to radio on their way to school or work, at work, on the way home, and in the evening hours.Two major changes—satellite and Internet radio—will force radio advertisers to adapt their methods. Both of these radio forms allow listeners to tune in stations that are more distant than the local stations they could receive in the past. As a result, radio will increasingly attract target audiences who live many miles apart.MagazinesNewsweeklies, women’s titles, a nd business magazines have all seen increases in advertising because they attract the high-end market. Magazines are popular with advertisers because of the narrow market that they deliver. A broadcast medium such as network television attracts all types of audience members, but magazine audiences are more homogeneous. If you read Sports Illustrated, for example, you have such in common with the magazine’s other readers.Advertisers see magazines as an efficient way of reaching target audience members.Advertisers using the print media—magazines and newspapers—will need to adapt to two main changes. First, the Internet will bring larger audiences to local newspapers. These audiences will be more diverse and geographically dispersed分散)than in the past. Second, advertisers will have to understand how to use an increasing number of magazines for their target audiences. Although some magazines will maintain national audiences, a large number of magazines will entertain narrower audiences.Out-of-home advertisingOut-of-home advertising, also called place-based advertising, has become an increasingly effective way of reaching consumers, who are more active than ever before. Many consumers today do not sit at home and watch television. Using billboards, newsstands, and bus shelters for advertising is an effective way of reaching these on-the-go consumers. More consumers travel longer distances to and from work, which also makes out-of-home advertising effective. Technology has changed the nature of the billboard business, making it a more effective medium than in the past. Using the digital printing, billboard companies can print a billboard in 2 hours, compared with 6 days previously. This allows advertisers more variety in the types of messages they create because they can change their messages more quickly.InternetAs consumers become more comfortable with online shopping, advertisers will seek to reach this market. As consumers get more of their news and information from the Internet, the ability of television and radio to get the word out to consumers will decrease. The challenge to Internet advertisers is to create ads that audience members remember.Internet advertising will play a more prominent role in organizations’ advertising in the near future. Internet audiences tend to be quite homogeneous, but small. Advertisers will have to adjust their methods to reach these audiences and will have to adapt their persuasive strategies to the inline medium as well.Direct mailA final adverti sing medium is d irect mail, which uses mailings to consumers to communicate a client’s message. Direct mail includes newsletters, postcards, and special promotion. Direct mail is an effective way to build relationships with consumers. For many businesses, direct mail is the most effective form of advertising.1.Television is an attractive advertising medium in that _________ .A)it has large audiences C) it helps build up a company’s reputationB)it appeals to housewives D) it is affordable to most advertisers2.With the increase in the number of TV channels, _____________ .A)the cost of TV advertising has decreased B) the number of TV viewers has increasedC)advertisers’ interest in other media has decreasedD)the number of TV ads people can see has increasedpare with television, newspapers as an advertising medium ______________ .A)earn a larger annual ad revenue C) use more production techniquesB)convey more detailed messages D) get messages out more effectively4.Advertising on radio continues to grow because ___________ .A)more local radio stations have been set up C) it provides easy access to consumersB)modern technology makes it more entertaining D) it has been revolutionized by Internet radio5.Magazines are seen by advertisers as an efficient way to __________ .A)reach target audiences C) attract diverse audiencesB)appeal to educated people D) convey all kinds of messages6.Out-of-home advertising has become more effective because ______________ .A)billboards can be replaced within two hours C) such ads have been made much more attractiveB)consumers travel more now than ever before D) the pace of urban life is much faster nowadays7.The challenge to Internet advertisers is to create ads that are ________ .A) quick to update B) pleasant to look at C) easy to remember D) convenient to access8.Internet advertisers will have to adjust their methods to reach audiences that tend to be _________ .9.Direct mail is an effective form of advertising for business to develop ___________ .10.This passage discusses how advertisers select ___________ for advertisements.Part III Listening Comprehension (35 minutes) Section A11.A) Given his ankle a good rest.8)Treat his injury immediately.12.A) On a train.

I had been abroad a couple of times, but I could hardly _47_ to know my way around the continent. Moreover, my knowledge of foreign languages was _48_ to a little college French.I hesitated. How would I, unable to speak the language, _49_ unfamiliar with local geography or transportation systems, set up _50_ and do research? It seemed impossible, and with considerable _51_ I sat down to write a letter begging off. Halfway through, a thought can through my mind: you can learn if you don’t try . So I accepted the assignment.There were some bad _52_. But by the time I had finished the trip I was an experienced traveler.

We will argue over it and may even, as a nation, make some fairly solemn-sounding commitments to avoid it. But the more dramatic and meaningful these commitments seem, the less likely they are to be observed.Al Gore ca lls global warming an “inconven ient truth,” as if merely recognizing it could put us on a path to asolu tion. But the real truth is that we don't know enough to relieve global warming, and - without major technological breakthroughs —we can't do much about it.From 2003 to 2050, the world's population is projected to grow from 6.4 billion to 9.1 billion, a 42% increase. If energy use per person and technology remain the same, total energy use and greenhouse gas emissions (mainly, CO2) will be 42% higher in 2050. but that's too low, because societies that grow richer use more energy. We need economic growth unle ss we condemn the world's poor to their present poverty and freeze everyone else's living standards. With modest growth, energy use and greenhouse emissions more than double by 2050.No government will adopt rigid restrictions on economic growth and personal freedom (limits on electricity usage, driving and travel) that might cut back global warming. Still, politicians want to show they're “doing something.” Consider the Kyoto Protocol (京都议定书). It allowed countries that joined to punish those that didn't. But it hasn't reduced CO2 emissions (up about 25% since 1990), and many signatories (签字国) didn't adopt tough enough policies to hit their 2008-2012 targets.

Central California boy braved strong currents and cold water to swim from San Francisco to Alcatraz Island and back.A California television station in Fresno reported Tuesday that James Savage set a record as the youngestswimmer to make the journey to the former prison. The TV station reported that by completing the swim,the fourth-grader student from Los Banos broke a record previously held by a 10-year-old boy. James said that waves in the San Francisco Bay hitting him in the face 30 minutes into his swim made him want to give up.(2) His father said he had offered his son $100 as a reward.To encourage his struggling son，he doubled it to $200.James pushed forward,making it to Alcatraz Island and back in a little more than two hours.Alcatraz is over a mile from the mainland.Question1:What did the boy from Central California do according to the report?Question2:What did the father do to encourage his son?News 2On the 1st of January,new regulations will come into effect which eliminate an annual leave bonus for people who put off marrying until the age of 23 for women,and 25 for men,the South China Morning Post reports.(3) The holiday bonus was designed to encourage young people to delay getting married inline with China's one child policy.But with that policy nowbeing abolished,this holiday incentive is no longer necessary,the government says.In Shanghai,a young couple at a marriage registration office told the paper that they decided to register their marriage as soon as possible to take advantage of the existing policy,because an extra holiday was a big deal for them.In Beijing,one registration office had about 300 couples seeking to get married the day after the changes were announced，rather than the usual number of between 70 and 80.(4) But one lawyer tells the paper that thechanges still have to be adopted bylocal governments sand these procedures take time,so people who are rushing to register for marriage can relax.Question3：What was the purpose of the annual leave bonus in China? Question4：What do we learn about the new regulations?News 3(6) Everyone loves a good house party,but the cleaning up the next morning isn't as enjoyable.(5) Now,however,a New Zealand-based startup company aims to bring messy homes-and even splitting headaches-back to normal. The properly-named startup Morning-After Maids was launched about a month ago in Auckland by roommates Rebecca Foley and Catherine Ashurst. Aside from cleaning up,the two will also cook breakfast and even get coffee and painkillers for recovering merry makers. Although they're both gainfully employed,they fit cleaning jobs into their nights and weekends(which is when their service is in most demand anyway).(7) Besides being flooded with requests from across the country，Foley and Ashurst have also received requests from the US and Canada to provide services there.They are reportedly meeting with lawyers to see how best to take the business forward.Question5：What is the news report mainly about?Question6：What is a common problem with a house party?Question7：What are Rebecca Foley and Catherine Ashurst planning to do?Section BConversation lW：Kyle,how did your(8) driver's theory exam go?It was yesterday,right? M：Yes,I prepared it as much as I could,but I was so nervous since it was my second try.The people who worked at the test center were very kin，d though. We had a little conversation which calmed me down a bit,and that was just what I needed. Then, after the exam, they printed out my result，but I was afraid to open it until I was outside. It was such a relief to pass.W：Congratulations! I knew you could do it!(9) I guess you underestimated how difficult it would be the first time,didn't you? I hear a lot of people make that mistake and go in underprepared. But good job in passing the second time. I’m so proud of you. Now all you have to do next is your road test. Have you had any lessons yet?M：(10) Yes,thanks. I'm so happy to be actually on the road now. I’ve only had two driving lessons so far and my instructor is very understanding. So I'm really enjoying it and I can't wait for my next session although the lessons are rather expensive.Twenty pounds an hour,and the instructor says,I'll need about 30 to 40 lessons in total. That's what--six to eight hundred pounds!(11) So this time I'll need to make a lot more effort and hopefully will be successful the first time.M：Well,good luck!Question8: What did the man do yesterday?Question9: Why did he fail the exam the first time?Question10: What does the man say about his driving lessons?Question11: What does the man hope to do next?Conversation 2M：Emma,I got accepted to the University of Leeds. Since you're going to university in England,(12) do you know how much it is for international students to study there?W：Congratulations! Yes，I believe for international students，you'll haveto pay around 13,000 pounds a year. It's just a bit more than the local students.M：OK，so that's about 17,000 dollars for the tuition and fees.(13) Anyway，I'm only going to be there for a year doing my masters，so it's pretty good. If I stayed in the US，it'd take two years and cost at least 50,000 dollars intuition alone.(14) Also，I have a good chance of winning a scholarship at Leeds，which will be pretty awesome，the benefits of beinga music genius.W：(14) Yeah，I heard your ea talented piano player. So you redoing a post-graduate degree now? I'm still in my last year graduating next June. Finally I’ll be done with my studies and can go on to earn in loads of money.M：Are you still planning on being a teacher? No money in that job then? W：You'd be surprised.(15) I'm stillgoing to be a teacher. But theplanis to work at an international school overseas after I get a year or so of experience in England. It better paid and I get to travel，which reminds me I'm late for my class and I've got some documents I need to printout first. I'd better run.Question12: What does the man want to know?Question13:What is the man going to do?Question14:What might qualify the man for a scholarship at Leeds University?Question15:What is the woman planning to do after graduation?Section CPassage lScientists have identified thousands of known ant species around the world. And only a few of them bug humans. Most ants live in the woods or out in nature，there they keep other creatures in check，distribute seeds and clean dead and decaying materials from the ground.(16) A very small percentage of ants do harm to humans. But those are incredibly challengingto control. They are small enough to easily slip inside your house，livein colonies that number in the tens of thousands to the hundreds of thousands，and reproduce quickly. That makes them good at getting in and hard to kick out. Once they settle in，these insects start affecting your home. In addition to biting ants，other species can cause different kindsof damage.(17)Some, like carpenter ants can undermine a home structure，while others interfere with electrical units. Unfortunately our homes are very attractive to ants because they provide everything the colony needsto survive，such as food，water and shelter. So how can we prevent ants from getting into our homes?(18) Most important of all，avoid giving ants any access to food，particularly sugary food because ants have a sweet tooth. We also need to clean up spills as soon as they occur and store food in airtight containers. Even garbage attracts ants，so empty your trash as often as possible，and store your outside garbage in a lidded can well away from doors and windows.Question16: What does the passage say about ants?Question17: What do we learn from the passage about carpenter ants? Question18: What can we do to prevent ants from getting into our homes?Passage 2(19) My research focus is on what happens to our immune system as we age. So the job of the immune system is to fight infections. It also protects us from viruses，and from autoimmune diseases. We know that as we get older，it's easier for us to get infections.So older adults have more chances of falling ill. This is evidence that our immune system really doesn't function so well when we age. In most of our wo，r kwhen we're looking at older adults who've got an illness，we always have to have health controls. So we work veryclosely with a great group of volunteers called the‘One Thousand Elders'.These volunteers are all 65 or over,but in good health.(20) They come to the university to provide us with blood samples，to be interviewed，and to help us carry out a whole range of research.(21) The real impact of our research is going to be on health in old age. At the moment，we're living much longer. Life expectancy is increasing at two years for every decade. That means an extra five hours a day. I want to make sure that older adults are still able to enjoy their old age，and that they're not spending time in hospital with infection，s feeling unwell and being generally weak.(21) We want people to be health，y e ven when they're old.Question19:What is the focus of the speaker's research?Question20:What are the volunteers asked to do in the research? Question21: What does the speaker say will be the impact of his research?Passage 3When Ted Camarda started teaching 14 years ago at Killip elementary, hedidn't know how to manage a classroom and was struggling toconnect with students.(22) He noticed a couple of days after schoo，l that a group of kids would get together to play chess.“I know how to play chess，let me go and show these kids how to do it"，he said. Now Camarda coaches the school's chess team. The whole program started as a safe place for kids to come after school.(23) And this week，dozens of those students are getting ready to head out to Nashville，Tennessee to compete with about 5000 other young people at the Super Nationals of Chess. The competition only happens every four years and the last time the team went,they won the third place in the nation. Camarda says chess gives him and his students' control.(24) The school has the highest number of kids from low income families. Police frequent the area day and night. As two months ag，oa young man was shot just down the street，Camarda likes to teach his students that they should think about their move before they do it. The lessons prove valuable outside the classroom as well. Many parents see these lessons translate into the real world.(25) Students are more likely to think about their actions and see whether they will lead to trouble.Question22: What did Ted Camarda notice one day after he started teaching at Killip elementary?Question23: What are dozens of students from Camarda's school going to do this week?Question24: What do we learn about the students of Killip elementary? Question25: What have the_students learned from Camarda?。

We also need toclean up spills as soon as they occur and store food in airtight containers.Even garbage attracts ants, so empty yourtrash as often as possible, and storeyour outside garbage in a lidded can, well away from doors and windows.Questions16 to 18 are based on the passage you have just heard.16.What does the passage say about ants?17.What do we learn from the passage about carpenter ants?18.What can we do to prevent ants from getting into our homes?答案：16. C) Only a few species cause trouble to humans.17. B) They can cause damageto people's homes.18. A) Deny them access to any food.Passage Two(19)My research focus is on what happens to our immunesystem as we age. So the jobof the immune system is to fight infections. It also protects us from virusesand from auto immune diseases. Weknow that as we get older，it's easier for us toget infections. So older adultshave more chances of falling ill. Thisis evidence that our immune system really doesn't function so well when we age. In most of our work when we're lookingat older adults who've got an illness, we always have to have health controls. So we work very closely with a greatgroup of volunteers called the 1000 elders. Thesevolunteers are all 65 or over but in good health. (20)They come to the university toprovide us with blood samples to be interviewed and help us carry out a wholerange of research. (21)The real impact of our research isgoing to be on health in old age. Atthe moment we're living much longer. Lifeexpectancy is increasing at 2 years for every decade. That means an extra 5 hours a day. I want to make sure that older adultsare still able to enjoy their old age and that they're not spending time in hospitalwith infections feeling unwell and being generally weak. We want people to be healthy even whenthey are old.Questions 19 to 21 are based on the passage youhave just heard.19. What is the focus of the speaker’s research?20. Whatare the volunteers asked to do in the research?21. Whatdoes the speaker say will be the impact of his research?答案：19. D) The change in people’s immune system as they get older.20. B) Offer blood samples.21. C) Helping improve old people’s health conditions.Passage ThreeWhen Ted Komada started teaching 14 years ago at Kilip Elementaryhe didn't know how to manage a classroom and was struggling to connect with students. (22)He noticed a couple of days afterschool that a group of kids would get together to play chess. " I know how to play chess; let me go and show these kids how to do it," he said. Now Komada coach this school's chessteam. The whole program startedas a safe place for kids to come after school. (23)And this week dozens of thosestudents are getting ready to head out to Nashville Tennessee to compete withabout 5000 other young people at the SuperNationals of chess. The competition only happens every 4 years and the last time the team went, they won the third place in the nation. Komada says chess gives him and hisstudents control. The school hasthe highest number of kids from low-income families. Police frequent the areaday and night as 2 months ago a young man was shot just down the street. (25)Komada likes to teach hisstudents that they should think about their move before they do it. The lessons prove valuable outside theclassroom as well. Many parentssee these lessons translate into the real world. Students are more likely to thinkabout their actions and see whether they will lead to trouble.22.
