With a population of 602,000, Luxembourg is one of Europe’s (21) ______ (small) countries — yet it suffers from major traffic jams. But that could be about to change. As of March 1, 2020 all public transport — trains, trams and buses —in the country is now free. The government hopes the move (22) ______ (ease) heavy crowding and bring environmental benefits.Tiny country, big traffic(23) ______ (landlock)Luxembourg which is surrounded by three countries is one of the richest countries in Europe.

From the capital of Luxembourg City, Belgium, France and Germany (25) ______ all be reached by car in half an hour.High housing costs, especially in Luxembourg City, mean more than 180,000 of the country’s workforce make regular journeys from those neighboring countries every day. Luxembourg is a very attractive place for jobs.

That year, drivers in Luxembourg City spent an average of 33 hours in traffic jams. It fared worse than European cities Copenhagen and Helsinki, (27) ______have comparable population sizes to all of Luxembourg — yet drivers in both only spent an average of 24 hours in traffic.

(29) ____________ walking 500 meters, people see a bus coming and they say, “We can get on and travel 500 meters (30) ______it’s free”. However, the new scheme can signal important changes ahead when it comes to Luxembourg’s reliance on driving.The government might say, “It’s important that you throw away your car, and look, we made public transport free” — and maybe this is helpful given the enormous cultural shift we ne ed.” 21. smallest22. will ease23.

For many families in the world’s wealthiest countries, the answer seems to be, ‘too much’. For instance, in the United States, (21) ______ is often a trendsetter in such things, the majority of families report eating a single meal together fewer than five days a week.In fact, the frequency of shared meals(22) ______ (decrease) in American families by 33 per cent over the last twenty years. The meals (23) ______ have shortened too: from an average of 90 minutes to just 12 minutes.So perhaps we’re better off asking ourselves (24) ______ the cost of not eating together is.

The Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development has found that 15-year-olds who reported not regularly (25) ______ (share) family meals were twice as likely to be absent from school. In Europe, research has suggested thatchildren who don’t eat dinner with their parents at least twice a week face a 40 per cent higher risk of fatness.

After all, having a meal together is more than just a preventive measure (29) ______ future misfortune. The primary cost of the family meal is also the very thing that makes it important: time.The time spent together over food leads to all the positive outcomes that are measured in the studies. That time spent together has less noticeable—but no less real—effects too. So often, (30) ______ is at the family meal that the family as such—the family as an organic unit with shared memories and feelings and ambitions—is made.21. which22. has decreased23. themselves24. what25. sharing 26. conducted27. less likely 28. as29. against30. it6.杨浦区Sleep DebtIf sleep were a credit card company, many of us would be in deep trouble. Medical evidence suggests that for the best possible health and function, the average adult (21) ________ get seven to nine hours of sleep daily. But more than 60% of Americans regularly fall short of that goal. Although each hour of lost sleep goes into the health debt column, we don’t get any monthly reminders (22) ________ our sleep debt is slowly building up.In fact, the greater the sleep debt, the (23) _______ (capable) we are of recognizing it: once sleep scarcity — with its fuzzy-headedness, bad temper, and exhaustion — (24) _______ (gain) the upper hand, we can hardly recall what it’s like to be fully rested. And as the sleep debt increases, the health consequences also increase, putting us at (25) _______ (grow) risk for weight gain, diabetes, heart disease, stroke, and memory loss.In some cases, sleep debt results (26) _______ insomnia (失眠) or other underlying conditions that may require medical attention. But most sleep debt is due to burning the candle at both ends — constantly failing to get to bed on time and stay there (27) ______ we’ve slept enough.While there are people who try to teach us to cope with less sleep, a “sleep-less” life is seldom a good idea and practically impossible in the long run. People (28) ____ __ (lack) sleep don’t think well and make mistakes. Little mistakes can turn into serious mistakes or even disasters.

It struck me that I was pretty much playing the role of mother to my own mother. It wasn’t always much fun, but it felt good to be there when my mother really needed me. The most difficult part for me was trying to always be upbeat, and to keep my mother’s spirits up when she became frustrated with the pain and her inability to do simple things for herself. I always had a smile on my face when, really, I was containing tears in my heart.My mother’s dependence on me changed our relationship. She was no longer the one who took care but the receiver.To get my mother back, I needed help her regain the strength and ability to continue an independent life. She had to learn to accept my help as well as the fact that I was no longer a child. Like the closest friends, we genuinely listen to one another, and truly enjoy each other’s pany. It has been over two years since the accident. I have grown more in that time than in all the years before. Being a caregiver of my own mother taught me a lot about being a “parent”: the responsibility and the sweetness of unconditional devotion and love.六．听力原文Text 1 大学录取W:Michael,your daughter Nancy has gained admission to Nanjing Normal University,right?M:Yes.Word gets around fast!W:If I remember correctly,it's also your old school.M:○1Actually,it's my wife's.Text 2 交通事故M:So what was the cause of the crash?Was it due to drinkdriving or speeding?W:Neither. ○2 A signal failure was being blamed for the crash according to the investigation.Text 3 学阿拉伯语W:How's your Arabic class going?

As more companies across nearly every industry accommodate an increasing number of employees wishing to avoid traffic jam and office cold lunch, remote work has become an increasingly easy and ___31___ practical option for many who seek it. Here is a modest guide to becoming a successful remote employee.Before ___32___ completely from the office, check with your corporate IT department and your manager to see if you are equipped with the programs and applications necessary to work remotely.

But we humans are not the only animals that change behavior to keep diseases at ___31___, and so do ants.Nathalie of the University of Lausanne and her colleagues observed ants to see their ___32___ to the presence of a pathogen（病原体）. “With the nurses staying inside and taking care of the young, the worker ants are all outside of the nest to collect food and defend the territory.” Worker ants are at greater risk of getting ___33___ to diseases because they leave the safety of the nest. So the researchers ___34___ a common fungus (真菌) on a small group of worker ants and then followed their movements to see the way other ants reacted. “We marked all ants in the colony with individual labels, which is ___35___ detected and recorded using a tracking system.”After the infection, the nurse and worker ants stayed within their small group and ___36___ less outside of their work group. The researchers also saw that worker ants spent more time outside of the nest. “They increase that amount by 15 percent so by quite a long large amount.” The researchers measured the amount of fungus on each ant and saw that it was almost completely ___37___ to the worker group. Some nurse ants and the Queen only had trace amounts of fungus’ spores (孢子) on them. The study indicated that the group behavior effectively stopped the ___38___ of the fungus. Something that’s quite interesting in these ants is that the very small amount of the spores can ___39___ their natural defenses and protect them against later exposure to the same pathogen.It seems that in their ability to avoid infecting other members of the community, ants may be more ___40___ than we are.【答案】31-40 CIFJB GEKDA【难度】中等Why Humpback Whales (座头鲸) Protect Other Species from Killer Whales Robert Pitman, a marine ecologist, describes an encounter he witnessed in Antarctica in 2009. A group of killer whales were attacking a Weddell seal. The seal swam 31toward a pair of humpbacks that had inserted themselves into the action. One of the humpbacks rolled over on its back, and the seal was 32onto its chest, between the whale’s massive flippers (鳍). “That incident 33me,” he says. “Those humpbacks were doing something we couldn’t explain.”Pitman started asking other researchers and whale watchers to send him similar 34 . Soon he was reading through observations of 115 encounters between humpbacks and killer whales, recorded over 62 years. “There are some pretty astonishing videos of humpbacks 35killer whales,” he says.In a 2016 article in Marine Mammal Science, a famous scientific journal, Pitman and his co-authors describe this behaviour and confirm that such acts of do-gooding are widespread. But knowing that something is happening and understanding why it’s happening are two different things. Pitman and his co-authors openly reflected on the meaning of these encounters. “Why,” they wrote, “would humpbacks 36interfere with attacking killer whales, spending time and energy on a potentially37activity, especially when the killer whales… were attacking other species of prey?”Interestingly, humpbacks don’t just hit on killer-whale attacks. They race toward them like firefighters into burning buildings. And like those rescue workers, humpbacks don’t know who is in danger until they get there. That’s because the sound that 38them to an attack isn’t the sad voice of the victim. It’s the excited calls of the killer whales. Pitman believes humpbacks have one simpl e instruction: “When you hear killer whales attacking, go break it up.”I wonder what humpback whales care deeply enough about to actively swim into battle with killer whales. When I ask Pitman, he tells me that, it still comes down to selfishly 39their own kind.

Researcher Dr. Mark Dyble, lived with 10 Agta groups and found that those who still hunted and searched for their food spent around 20 hours working in the week to live, but those who had (32) ________ to farming needed to work 30 hours for the same amount of food.“For a long time, the shift from hunting to farming was assumed to represent progress, allowing people to (33) ________ a laborious and uncertain way of life,” said Dr. Dyble. “But as soon as researchers started working with hunter-gatherers they began (34) ________ this narrative, finding that hunters actually enjoy quite a lot of leisure time. Our data provides some of the clearest (35) ________ for this idea yet.” The researchers followed 359 people from the Agta community (36) ________ how much time they spent on leisure, childcare, domestic chores and out-of-camp work. As well as the overall difference in hours worked, the study also found that women living in the communities most involved in farming had half as much leisure time as those in communities which only hunted. Co-author, Dr. Abigail Page added: “We have to be really careful when (37) ________ from contemporary hunter-gatherers to different societies in pre-history.” But if the first farmers really did work harder than hunters then this begs an important question - why did humans adopt agriculture?Previous studies suggested the adoption of farming grew up to help cope with (38) ________ societies, although other experts claimed that it was agriculture itself that allowed sedentary(定栖的) communities to expand, and once they (39) ________ a certain size, it would have been impossible for groups to return to a hunter-gathering lifestyle, even if they had wanted to. Dr. Page says: “The amount of leisure time that Agta enjoy is evidence to the (40) ________ of the hunter-gatherer way of life. This leisure time also helps to explain how these communities manage to share so many skills and so much knowledge within lifetimes and across generations.”【答案】31-40 J G D F A I K C E B【难度】He was once the world’s fattest man weighing in at an incredible 980 pounds and consuming 20,000 calories (卡路里) a day. But it seems that after losing 672 pounds following a surgery, it’s not just Paul Mason’s health that has a more promising 31 —his weight loss may have also promoted his love life.Mr. Mason has only known his new girlfriend Rebecca for a month and the pair are yet to meet, but already the 52-year old has 32 that Rebecca is the love of his life. The pair met online last month when Rebecca saw a television 33 about Mr. Mason’s extreme fatness—the result of overeating when a previous relationship ended. She was so touched by his situation as to get in touch, keen to help Mr. Mason get the NHS (National Health Service) to pay for a second operation to 34 him of layers of extra skin.Mr. Mason said: “She didn’t really think of anything 35 at the beginning. It wasn’t until the second conversation that I realised there was more there than just friends. She felt the same and brought up the idea of us being boyfriend and girlfriend.”Mr. Mason says that he doesn’t go for looks and finds Rebecca’s 36 attitude particularly attractive. “It is her personality, her 37 and passion that has made me fall for her. We share the same ideas and interestsand she has made me look at life in a new way. For a long time I couldn’t really see light at the end of the tunnel, but since Rebecca’s been in my life I’ve got a whole new 38 of worth and excitement.”Mr. Mason 39 to his incredible size by eating ten times the amount needed by a normal man due to a compulsive eating disorder. As his weight rose sharply he was left unable to stand or walk before finally becoming bed-ridden and being looked after full time by carers.Firefighters had to knock down the front wall of his 40 home so they could use a fork lift truck to lift him out and put him into an ambulance when he needed an operation in 2002.【答案】31-40 FDAEJ IKCGH【难度】中等Your shoes are changing your feet. The ankles of people who ___31___ wear shoes are different to those of people who tend to walk barefoot. In many industrial societies, people tend to wear shoes from a young age. However, many people around the world often go barefoot, or wear only very thin footwear.“We know that there are some ___32___ in the feet of modern humans, due to the use of shoes,” says Rita Sorrentino at the University of Bologna in Italy. But most ___33___ findings relate to the front and middle of the foot. She and her team have focused on the ankle instead. They studied 142 ankle bones from 11 ___34___ from North America, Africa and Europe. These ___35___ sandal-wearing(穿凉鞋的) Nguni farmers in southern Africa, people living in New York and bones from Stone Age hunter-gatherers.The hunter-gatherers’ ankle bones were significantly shorter than those of people living in modern cities, and there were other differences in the shape. “They are mostly related to footwear-related behaviours and movement behaviours,” says Sorrentino. The hunter-gatherers walked barefoot for long distances every day over natural land. Their ankles were relatively ___36___. In contrast, people who live in big cities, who wear tight footwear and walk short distances on flat surfaces like concrete roads, had more unbending ankles.Changes to ankle bones take place over the course of a person’s life, and there is no evidence that these alterations can be passed on ___37___.According to Sorrentino, ___38___ evidence for people wearing shoes only exists for the past 10,000 years. For instance, a sandal from a Missouri cave may be 8300years old. Early shoes were all fairly soft, so wouldn’t have ___39___ the motion of the ankle much.It is an open question whether shoes have disadvantages, but Sorrentino ___40___ that the firmness of modern shoes causes our bones to become weaker and more likely to suffer from breaking.【答案】31-35 CKFED36-40 ABIGJ【难度】中等Previously, some MoD files about UFOs had been published online at the U.K. National Archives (国家档案馆) website, The Telegraph reported.

As you might imagine, this___35___ some problems — either people weren’t home or flat-out refused to pay. The system just didn’t work, but it remained in place for far too long.About 50 years later, to do better, Rowland Hill argued for putting an end to the postal charges and replacingthem with a single national rate of one penny, which would be paid by the sender.When the post office ignored Hill’s ideas, he self-published his essay and it quickly gained ___36___ among the public. Hill was then ordered by Postmaster General Lord Lichfield to discuss postal reform and, during their subsequent meeting, the two men conceived of a gluey ___37___ that could be applied to envelopes to indicate payment. Though it had gained support with the public who longed for an affordable way to connect with distant friends and family, officials still weren’t convinced. Thankfully, Hill was far from alone in his passion for reform.

This is the “new culture economy”. The phenomenon is having a powerful impact on people’s interactions and definitions of ___35___ exploration, and presents an incredible commercial opportunity.While globalization is usually talked about in the context of the ___36___ of trade and capital between countries, we shouldn’t forget that the ___37___ force behind it all is people.

Note that there is one word more than you need.A. motiveB. deliberatelyC. convincedD. injuriousE. alertsF. desperatelyG. sweptH. accountsI. unconsciousJ. preservingK. chargingRobert Pitman, a marine ecologist, describes an encounter he witnessed in Antarctica in 2009. A group of killer whales were attacking a Weddell seal. The seal swam 31 toward a pair of humpbacks that had inserted themselves into the action. One of the humpbacks rolled over on its back, and the seal was 32 onto its chest, between the whale’s massive flippers (鳍). “That incident 33 me,” he says. “Those humpbacks were doing something we couldn’t explain.”Pitman started asking other researchers and whale watchers to send him similar 34 . Soon he was reading through observations of 115 encounters between humpbacks and killer whales, recorded over 62 years. “There are some pretty astonishing videos of humpbacks 35 killer whales,” he says.In a 2016 article in Marine Mammal Science, a famous scientific journal, Pitman and his co-authors describe this behaviour and confirm that such acts of do-gooding are widespread. But knowing that something is happening and understanding why it’s happening are two different things. Pitman and his co-authors openly reflected on the meaning of these encounters. “Why,” they wrote, “would humpbacks 36 interfere with attacking killer whales, spending time and energy on a potentially 37 activity, especially when the killer whales… were attacking othe r species of prey?”Interestingly, humpbacks don’t just hit on killer-whale attacks. They race toward them like firefighters into burning buildings. And like those rescue workers, humpbacks don’t know who is in danger until they get there. That’s because t he sound that 38 them to an attack isn’t the sad voice of the victim. It’s the excited calls of the killer whales. Pitman believes humpbacks have one simple instruction: “When you hear killerwhales attacking, go break it up.”I wonder what humpback whales care deeply enough about to actively swim into battle with killer whales. When I ask Pitman, he tells me that, it still comes down to selfishly 39 their own kind. He believes that their occasional rescues of humpback calves (后代) create a strong enough 40 for them to rush in to help, even if it means they end up saving sunfish, sea lions, dolphins every now and then.III. Reading ComprehensionSection ADirections: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.The true purpose of a business, Peter Drucker said, is to create and keep customers. “Customer value” has several definitions. I use the 41 to mean the total lifetime value of a company’s customer base. Companies can increase this value by 42 more customers, earning more business from existing ones, keeping them longer, making their experience simpler through digital improvements and so on. 43 leaders have long understood the importance of concentrating on customer value rather than pursuing short-term profits or quarterly earnings, and they’ve become enduring customer loyalty leaders in the process. It’s worth noting that a number of loyalty-leading companies are able to 44 shareholder pressure, or avoid it altogether, because they are founder-led, customer-owned, or not publicly traded.Companies can 45 customer value in a variety of ways: To increase 46 , enterprise software companies sometimes charge corporate customers change fees that can raise the total cost ofownership to as much as three times the original price. T o reduce operating costs, restaurant chains sometimes 47 frozen and precooked ingredients in place of fresh and made-to-order food. The resulting profits may look good on the income statement. Such strategies may even lead to short-term earnings growth. But they also 48 potential customers and encourage disloyalty.Given the importance of customer value, leaders should track it as much as they track other key assets (资产), such as buildings, machinery, and marketable securities. They also should reveal it in their quarterly and annual earnings releases so that investors can make 49 judgments about company performance and how it compares with that of industry peers. But most companies 50 believe that measuring customer value is too difficult or costly. They continue to rely on a centuries-old accounting tradition that emphasizes physical and financial assets, and neither income statements nor balance sheets offer much 51 into the value of a company’s customers.As investors wake up to the importance of customer value, however, many growth-stage companies now direct investors’ attention to 52 in growing the value of their customer base. Some public companies increasingly report various types of customer value metrics (指标). One of the UK’s top energy suppliers E.ON, 53 , reports year-over-year customer counts in its financial report. “As a customer-focused company,” E.ON noted, “we see cust omer value as crucial to our success.”This is a start, but because there are no customer-value reporting standards or requirements, investors still have a(n) 54 picture. The minority of companies that do provide customer value information decide for themselves what to disclose. 55 , firms may calculate customer metrics differently or change themto tell a desired story, or simply stop reporting them if they fail to go with the company’s preferred narrative.41.

Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.Aristotle thought the face was a window onto a person’s mind. Cicero agreed. Two thousand years passed, and facial expressions are still commonly thought to be a universally valid way to judge other people’s feelings, irrespective of ag e, sex and culture. A raised eyebrow suggests confusion. A smile indicates happiness.Or do they? An analysis of hundreds of research papers that examined the relationship between facial expressions and underlying emotions has uncovered a surprising conclusion: there is no good scientific evidence to suggest that there are such things as recognizable facial expressions for basic emotions which areuniversal across cultures. Just because a person is not smiling, the researchers found, does not mean that person is unhappy.This may raise questions about the efforts of information-technology companies to develop artificial-intelligence algorithms (算法) which can recognize facial expressions and work out a person’s underlying emotional state. Microsoft, for examp le, claims its “Emotion API” is able to detect what people are feeling by examining video footage of them. Another of the study’s authors, however, expressed scepticism. Aleix Martinez, a computer engineer at Ohio State University, said that companies attempting to obtain emotions from images of faces have failed to understand the importance of context.For a start, facial expression is but one of a number of non-verbal ways，such as body posture, that people use to communicate with each other. Machine recognition of emotion needs to take account of these as well. But context can reach further than that. Dr Martinez mentioned an experiment in which participants were shown a close-up picture of a man’s face, which was bright red with his mouth open in a scream. Based on this alone, most participants said the man was extremely angry. Then the whole picture was shown. It was a football player with his arms outstretched, celebrating a goal. His angry-looking face was, in fact, a show of pure joy.Given that p eople cannot guess each other’s emotionalstates most of the time, Dr Martinez sees no reason computers would be able to. “There are companies right now claiming to be able to do that and apply this to places I find really scary and dangerous, for example, in hiring people,” he says. “Some companies require you to present a video resume, which is analyzed by a machine-learning system. And depending on your facial expressions, they hire you or not, which I find really shocking.”56. We can learn from the second paragraph that __________.A. facial expressions are universal across culturesB. it is hard to recognize some facial expressionsC. emotions and facial expressions may not be relatedD. common facial expressions convey similar meanings57. In the pass age, the word “scepticism” (paragraph 3) is closest in meaning to “__________”.A. similar interestB. fierce angerC. strong supportD. great doubt58. The experiment mentioned by Dr Martinez may prove that ___________.A. facial expression is an important way to communicateB. machine recognition of emotion is not reliable at allC. facial expression is not the only way to detect feelingsD. people may misread facial expressions for lack of context59. What does this passage mainly tell us?A. Facial expressions are among the most universal forms of body language.B. Computers can detect people’s mind by analyzing their facial expressions.C. Facial expressions may not be the reliable reflection of a person’s emotions.D. Companies can depend on machine recognition of emotion to hire people.Founded in 1887, The Writer aims to expand and support the work of professional writers with a straightforward presentation of industry information, writing instruction and professional and personal motivation.

Information which explains and promotes green and sustainable construction design, strives to convince others of its efficacy (功效) and warns of the dangers of ignoring the issue. Seldom do these documents offer any advice to practitioners, such as those designing mechanical and electrical systems for a building, on how to use this knowledge on a practical level.Al though there are a good many advocates of “green” construction in the architectural industry, able to list enough reasons why buildings should be designed in a sustainable way, not to mention plenty of architectural firms with experience in green design, this is not enough to make green construction come into being. The driving force behind whether a building is constructed with minimal environmental impact lies with the owner of the building; that is, the person financing the project. If the owner considers green design unimportant, or of secondary importance, then more than likely, it will not be factored into the design.The commissioning (委任) process plays a key role in ensuring the owner gets the building he wants, in terms of design, costs and risk. At the predesign stage, the owner’s objectives and expectations are discussed and documented. This gives a design team a solid foundation on which they can build their ideas. Owners who skip the commissioning process, or fail to take “green” issues into acco unt when doing so, often come a cropper once their building is up and running. Materials and equipment are installed as planned, and, at first glance, appear to fulfil their purpose adequately. However, in time, the ownerrealizes that operational and maintenance costs are higher than necessary, and that the occupants are dissatisfied with the results. These factors in turn lead to higher ownership costs as well as increased environmental impact.In some cases, an owner may be aware of the latest trends in sustainable building design. However, firms should not take it as read that the client already has an idea of how green he intends the structure to be. Indeed, this initial interaction between owner and firm is the ideal time for a designer to outline and promote the ways that green design can meet the client’s objectives, thus turning a project originally not destined for green design into a potential candidate.Typically, when considering whether or not to adopt a green approach, an owner will ask about additional costs or return for investment. In a typical project, landscape architects, mechanical and electrical engineers do not become involved until a much later stage. However, in green design, they must be involved from the outset, since green design demands interaction between these disciplines. This increased cooperation clearly requires additional cost. However, there may be financial advantage for the client in choosing a greener design. There are examples of green designs which have demonstrated lower costs for long-term operation, ownership and even construction.63. What is the main reason for the lack of green buildings being designed according to the passage?A. Few firms have enough experience in designing and constructing green buildings.B. Construction companies are unaware of the benefits of sustainable designs.C. Firms do not get to decide whether a building is to beconstructed sustainably.D. Firms tend to convince clients that other factors are more important than sustainability.64. Th e phrase “come a cropper” probably means ________.A. experience misfortuneB. change one’s mindC. notice the benefitsD. make a start65. Which of the following can be inferred from the passage?A. Most clients have a clear idea of whether they want a green building at the beginning.B. Green buildings are most likely to cost more money than conventional buildings.C. The commissioning process offers a good opportunity to bring up the subject of green design.D. Firms should avoid working with clients who reject green designs in their buildings.66. The writer’s main purpose is to ________.A. explain the importance of communication when a building is commissionedB. emphasize the importance of green building design in protecting the environmentC. explain to building owners why ignoring green issues is costly and dangerousD. inform professionals how they can influence clients to choose greener designsSection CDirections: Read the following passage. Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box. Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need.A. The cultural breakthrough came in 2014 with a very specific podcast—Serial.B. But if you are a celebrity, podcasts can provide a new branch of business.C. And now, despite the growth in smartphones offering high-definition pictures, the popularity of podcasts is booming.D. Now the boom in podcasting embraces a huge range of talent, from professional broadcasters to enthusiasts offering insights on anything and everything.E. Podcasts offer a chance to speak to a very precise selection of people.F. But where did this trend for making portable audio programmes begin?Do you prefer to watch TV or listen to the radio? There was a time when some people thought moving pictures would spell the end of tuning in to the radio for entertainment and information. But radio survived and boomed. (67) ____________________Perhaps the growth in podcasting is not surprising—it offers a digital audio file that can be downloaded and stored for listening at any time. It can also be streamed from the internet and played on a computer or MP3 player. And it’s not just broadcasters, like the BBC, who are producing podcasts: now commercial broadcasters, individuals and companies with no connection to broadcasting are making them. In fact, anyone with something to say, and a few pounds to spend on the equipment, can get involved.The digital audio files are cheap to produce and, thanks to the internet, easy to distribute. (68) ____________________ Journalist Ben Hammersley told the BBC that “two changes transformedthe market—one cultural and one technical.” A technical breakthrough came in 2012 when Apple produced the iPhone podcast app, which proved a popular library system for listeners. This was followed by a dramatic improvement in inexpensive recording production and editing equipment. Finally, the development of 4G mobile phone connections and widespread wi-fi meant listeners could browse, download or stream shows whenever they wanted.(69) ____________________ It was a piece of investigative journalism hosted by Sarah Koenig, telling a non-fiction story over multiple episodes (集). To date, the first and second seasons of the show have had more than 340 million downloads.Advertisers soon realized the money-making potential of this and other successful podcasts. And where the audience goes, the money follows. From 2017 to 2018 advertising spending on podcasts in the UK went from $10.6m(￡8.5m) to $19.7m, an 85% increase, according to Ovum.(70) ____________________ In fact, as Ben Hammersley explains, podcasting has brought people into broadcasting who would normally never have seen the inside of a recording studio. “There are of course professional podcasters, but there are many more people who create quality content and do it for nothing,” he says. “And that is changing not just the way we listen to audio but the way the broadcasting industry works.”IV．Summary WritingDirections: Read the following passage.
