How can I help you?M: Good morning, Ms. Hanson. [1]Well, I’m thinking about transferring to another university, but I’m not sure. I was hoping you could help me make a decision. W: I’ll try. Where are you thinking of transferring to? And why do you want to leave Prince University? M: Um... I’m thinking of going to Central University, because it’s in my hometown. I’ve been kind of homesick here this year, and I haven’t made many friends... I just feel so lonely. So, I thought that uh, maybe, [2]it’d be better to be closer to my parents and friends and all. W: I see. And would you keep the same major if you transferred? What is it? Business Administration? M: Yeah, I would. The credits I’ve earned here will transfer to Central. I’ve already checked. W: May I ask why you chose to come to Prince University in the first place? M: Sure. Um, well, the main reason is you have a great business school. And the second reason is that I wanted to get away from home. W: You’re right, Mr. Vickstad. We do have an excellent business school. But, so does Central. The thing is, you’ve got almost a year under your belt here now. [3]At Central, you’ll be starting from scratch. M: Yeah, I know that. But I’m a little bit familiar with Central because I had older friends who went there, and I visited it before I came here. W: You know, freshman year is usually the hardest. [4]I remember how homesick I was my first year. I’ll tell you, I was ready to pack it in after the first two weeks. But the longer I stayed, the more comfortable I felt. By senior year, I was glad I chose to stay. M: Really? Did it get a lot better your sophomore year? W: Yes, it did. You might well find the same is true for you. Also, even though your credits here will transfer, you will have to take extra courses, because Central has different requirements. You’ll probably have to go to school for an extra year. M: Hmm (I)hadn’t thought about that. I’ll have to check into it. Maybe I should give it one more year. I mean, it’s probably good for me to learn to live away from my family and friends, right? It’ll make me stronger in the future. W: You can always move back there after you graduate. Of course, by that time you may not want to! M: Thank you for all your help. [5]I guess I’ll find out the exact transfer requirements. You’ve given me a lot to think about. W: Don’t mention it. If you feel like you want to talk more,don’t hesitate to come back and see me.1．Why does the man go and talk to the woman? 2．What is the man’s problem of being in Prince University?3．What will the man have to do if he transfers to Central University?4．What does the woman say about her time in college?5．What will the man most probably do next?1．A．He needs to transfer to another university.B．He wants the woman to make a decision.C．He needs advice about school transfer.D．He wants to know about Central University.正确答案：C解析：①选项以He开头，由transfer和university等关键词可知问题与男士转学相关。

It is a day set aside for the purpose of honoring mothers. On that day mothers are usually given flowers and cards to celebrate the occasion. Children usually write “To the best mother in the world”, “Thinking of you on Mother’s Day”, or “Thanks, Mom!” and so on on the cards. It is a common practice for sons and daughters to wear a pink carnation if their mothers are still living and white if they are dead. Where does the idea for the holiday come from? We should give credit to Miss Anna Jarvis, a native of West Virginia. Her mother died in Philadelphia on May 9, 1905. And on the first anniversary of her mother’s death she invited some friends to an informal memorial meeting. Again in 1907 a church service was held on her mother’s death anniversary. Because of her efforts, Philadelphia observed the first Mother’s Day on May 10, 1908. After that she began to write countless letters to very important persons and went to see many public men in order to plead for the observance of the day. Thanks to her painstaking efforts, the state of Pennsylvania made it a state holiday in May, 1913, and in the same year the United States Congress recommended that the second Sunday in May be made a national holiday honoring motherhood. The holiday was officially proclaimed by President Wilson, and the American people have observed Mother’s Day ever since.1．What day is Mother’s Day?A．The second Saturday in May.B．The second Sunday in May.C．The first Sunday in May.D．The first Saturday in May.正确答案：B解析：该题为细节题。

Besides,working in the garden seems to have a calming effect on Jaramillo’s special education students,many of whom have emotional control issues.“They get outside,”she says,“and they feel successful.”4．What do we know about Abby Jaramillo?A．She used to be a health worker.B．She grew up in a low-income family. C．She owns a fast food restaurant.D．She is an initiator of Urban Sprouts. 5．What was a problem facing Jaramillo at the start of the program?A．The kids’parents distrusted her.B．Students had little time for her classes. C．Some kids disliked garden work.D．There was no space for school gardens. 6．Which of the following best describes the impact of the program?A．Far-reaching.B．Predictable.C．Short-lived.D．Unidentifiable.7．What can be a suitable title for the text?A．Rescuing School Gardens B．Experiencing Country Life C．Growing Vegetable Lovers D．Changing Local LandscapeCReading Art:Art for Book Lovers is a celebration of an everyday object—the book, represented here in almost three hundred artworks from museums around the world.The image of the reader appears throughout history,in art made long before books as we now know them came into being.In artists’representations of books and reading,we see moments of shared humanity that go beyond culture and time.In this“book of books,”artworks are selected and arranged in a way that emphasizes these connections between different eras and cultures.We see scenes of children learning to read at home or at school,with the book as a focus for relations between the generations. Adults are portrayed(描绘)alone in many settings and poses—absorbed in a volume,deep in thought or lost in a moment of leisure.These scenes may have been painted hundreds ofbut it’s unusual to find places in a city that are relatively wild.Past research has found health and wellness benefits of nature for humans,but a new study shows that wildness in urban areas is extremely important for human well-being.The research team focused on a large urban park.They surveyed several hundredpark-goers,asking them to submit a written summary online of a meaningful interaction they had with nature in the park.The researchers then examined these submissions,coding(编码) experiences into different categories.For example,one participant’s experience of“We sat and listened to the waves at the beach for a while”was assigned the categories“sitting at beach”and“listening to waves.”Across the320submissions,a pattern of categories the researchers call a“nature language”began to emerge.After the coding of all submissions,half a dozen categories were noted most often as important to visitors.These include encountering wildlife,walking along the edge of water,and following an established trail.Naming each nature experience creates a usable language,which helps people recognize and take part in the activities that are most satisfying and meaningful to them.For example, the experience of walking along the edge of water might be satisfying for a young professional on a weekend hike in the park.Back downtown during a workday,they can enjoy a more domestic form of this interaction by walking along a fountain on their lunch break.“We’re trying to generate a language that helps bring the human-nature interactions back into our daily lives.And for that to happen,we also need to protect nature so that we can interact with it,”said Peter Kahn,a senior author of the study.12．What phenomenon does the author describe at the beginning of the text? A．Pocket parks are now popular.B．Wild nature is hard to find in cities. C．Many cities are overpopulated.D．People enjoy living close to nature. 13．Why did the researchers code participant submissions into categories?A．To compare different types of park-goers.B．To explain why the park attracts tourists. C．To analyze the main features of the park.D．To find patterns in the visitors’summaries.14．What can we learn from the example given in paragraph5?A．Walking is the best way to gain access to nature.B．Young people are too busy to interact with nature.2.提出建议。

Listening ModuleListening Module (30 minutes & 10 minutes transfer time)听力原文：You will hear a telephone conversation between a woman and a man who works for a holiday company, about a holiday she would like to go on. First you have some time to look at questions 1 to 6.[Pause the recording for 30 seconds.]You will see that there is an example that has been done for you. On this occasion only, the conversation relating to this will be played first.Man: ‘Holidays for You’. Sean speaking. Can I help you?Woman: Oh hi. I’ve been looking at your website. Um, I’m interested in a cycling holiday in Austria in April.Man: Ah! We have two trips in April - one lasts fourteen days and the other ten days.Woman: Mm ... I think the(Example)10-day trip is better. So let’s see. I’ve got a calendar here. What are the dates?The length of the trip that the woman chooses is 10 days, so ‘10’has been written in the space. Now we shall begin. You should answer the questions as you listen because you will not hear the recording a second time. Listen carefully and answer questions 1 to 6.[repeat]Man: Well, that trip is in the middle of the month.(1)It starts on the 17th of April and it finishes on the 27th.Woman: That suits me. I can’t leave work before the 10th of April.Man: Let me see if there are any spaces. Is it just for yourself?Woman: Myself and my sister - so two of us.Man: Um, yes. We have spaces.Woman: Is it a big group?Man: At the moment there are 12 people booked on this trip and with you two that will be 14.(2)The maximum number is 16 so it’s almost fully booked. We can’t go over that because it’s hard to keep a larger group together.Woman: I need to check that I’m fit enough for this but the distances look OK. The website says(3)we’ll ride approximately 45km a day. Is that right?Man: That’s correct and I’ve got the exact distances here. It really depends on which part of the trip. Some days are only 35km and some are more. But you’ll never have to cycle more than 50km in one day.Woman: Oh, OK. I can manage that. And we stay in hotels?Man: Yes. They all have restaurants and the rooms have en-suite facilities.Woman: And do they have pools? It’s how I relax after a long day.Man: There is a(4)swimming pool in a few of the hotels but none of them has a gym.Woman: I don’t think we’ll need a gym after all that cycling! I’d better find out how much the holiday costs before I get too excited.Man: Including flights it’s ￡1,177 for one person.Woman: Oh, we’ll book our own flights on the Internet.Man: Ah, that’s just ￡(5)1.013 then. And we can book insurance for you if you want.Woman: Mm ... and which meals are included in that price?Man: Well, er, breakfast of course. And the hotels will provide you with a packed lunch each day. We do stop during the afternoon in a village somewhere for a rest, so(6)any snacks you buy then are extra. Then dinner will be in the hotel every evening and that’s included in the price of the holiday.Before you hear the rest of the conversation, you have some time to look at questions 7 to 10.[Pause the recording for 30 seconds.]Now listen andanswer questions 7 to 10.Woman: And you provide the bicycles of course. What else?Man: A lock and a bell come with the bike as well as lights, although you shouldn’t need to cycle in the dark. There’s a small bag, or pannier, on the front of the bike, where you can put the things you want to take with you during the day like water or fruit.(7)But we won’t allow you to cycle unless you bring a helmet. We don’t provide these locally because, like walking boots on a walking holiday, it’s really important it fits properly.Woman: OK.Man: If there’s any special gear you need for your holiday, we recommend a particular website and you can get a discount by quoting your booking reference.Woman: Great. What is it?Man: It’s . That’s all one word, and I’ll spell it for you: www dot(8)B-A double L-A-N-T-Y-N-E dot com.Woman: Good. I’ve got that down. I’ve been looking at your website while we’ve been talking. I see we cycle along the river Danube?Man: Yes, it’s one of Europe’s most well-known areas for cycling.Woman: It looks fascinating - lots of beautiful countryside and things to see.Man: I should warn you that we do reserve the right to make some alterations to the(9)route if the weather is bad. Some of the tracks sometimes get very muddy.Woman: OK. Well, hopefully it won’t rain too much! I know we stop in towns and villages but do we get a chance to look around? Because I’m really interested in history.Man: Oh yes, you get opportunities to explore. Is there something in particular you want to see?Woman: There’s a(10)theatre in a town called Grein. A friend of mine went there last year and said it was amazing.Man: Let’s see. Urn, ah yes, there’s a guide who’ll take you round the building. We don’t have any other tours arranged but you can visit several castles and museums on the holiday.Woman: Well, thank you for all that information. I’d like to book that then.Man: Right. Well, I’ll just...Cycling holiday in AustriaExample AnswerMost suitable holiday lasts __10__days.Holiday begins on【L1】______No more than【L2】______people in cycling group.Each day, group cycles【L3】______on average.Some of the hotels have a【L4】______Holiday costs【L5】￡______per person without flights.All food included except【L6】______Essential to bring a【L7】______Discount possible on equipment at www.【L8】______comPossible that the【L9】______may change.Guided tour of a【L10】______is arranged.1．【L1】正确答案：17th April /17 April / April 17解析：Distraction 27th April and 10th April. They are wrong because the man says that the trip ‘finishes’ on 27th April and the woman says she ‘can’t leave work before the 10th of April’.2．【L2】正确答案：16/sixteen解析：Distraction The man mentions ‘12’ and ‘14’. 12 is wrong because that isthe number of people booked on the trip ‘at the moment’; 14 is wrong because that will be the number with the woman and her sister. Neither is the maximum possible number. The woman asks, ‘Is it a big group?’; ‘the maximum number[= no more than]’.3．【L3】正确答案：45 km / forty-five km / kilometres / kilometers解析：Distraction The man mentions ‘35 km’ and ‘50 km’. The shortest distance is 35 km and the longest distance is 50 km but neither is the ‘average’. ‘distances’tells you that you will soon hear the answer; ‘approximately ... a day[= on average]’.4．【L4】正确答案：(swimming)pool解析：Distraction ‘restaurants’ and ‘en-suite facilities’ are mentioned but the man says ‘all’the hotels(not just ‘some’)have these; ‘gym’is wrong because ‘none of them’ has one.5．【L5】正确答案：1013解析：Distraction 1,177 is wrong because this price includes flights.6．【L6】正确答案：snacks解析：Distraction ‘breakfast’, ‘packed lunch’ and ‘dinner’ are all mentioned but these are included in the price.7．【L7】正确答案：(cycle)helmet解析：Distraction ‘lock’, ‘bell’, ‘lights’, ‘small bag’and ‘pannier’are all mentioned but they ‘come with the bike’ so you don’t need to bring them. You know that the answer is coming when after listing what the holiday company provides, the man says ‘But we won’t allow you to cycle unless you bring ...’.8．【L8】正确答案：ballantyne解析：(you can write this in small or capital letters)9．【L9】正确答案：route解析：[alterations = changes] Distraction ‘tracks’get muddy but they don’t change.10．【L10】正确答案：theatre / theater解析：’a guide who’ll take you round[= guided tour]’. Distraction ‘castles and museums’ are visited but there aren’t any other tours.听力原文：You will hear someone talking on the radio about food and restaurants in the local area. First you have some time to look at questions 11 to 14.[Pause the recording for 30 seconds.]Now listen and answer questions 11 to 14.Announcer: And now we have our ‘Know your town’ section Where we look at what’s on offer in our area. Today John Munroe is going to tell us about local food and eating out. John.John: Well, most of us buy our food in supermarkets these days but we’re very lucky having a wonderful market here. It was originally on the piece of land in front of the cathedral but at the beginning of the twentieth century it was moved to a site by the river.(11)When the new shopping centre was built in the 1960s, it found a home beneath the multi-storey car park where it still is. but there are plans to move it back to its previous home by the river.The market is now open six days a week. On Tuesday to Saturday you can buy fresh fruit and vegetables, meat and cheese from the area, as well as a whole range of imported produce.(12)But if you come on a Sunday, you’ll find a different market, where craftspeople sell what they have made - things like bags, cards, clothes. During the week there are a few stalls selling more everyday utensils like saucepans and cleaning products alongside the fruit and vegetables - as well as one new stall selling antique furniture which is proving to be very popular.People often ask what our local dish is. As we’re by the sea, they expect it to be some kind of fish recipe. Our fish is good of course but there isn’t one particular dish that stands out.(13)What we do have is an apple cake that isn’t really made anywhere else. There’s a new cafe in the High Street: Barton’s, which bakes them fresh every morning and serves them with delicious home-made ice cream in a choice of flavours.Now, the harbour is obviously the place to buy fresh fish. Every morning there’s a stall where local fishermen sell a selection of the day’s catch before the rest goes to London or abroad. They’ve been doing that for as long as anyone can remember of course, but the harbour itself looks very different from a few years ago.(14)Most of the restaurants used to be at the far end, but that part was redeveloped and the restaurants had to relocate to the other end. Many of them are simply the old ones in new premises but a couple of new ones have opened recently so there’s a good range now both in the harbour and the town itself. I’m now going to give you my ‘Top Six Places to Eat’ in different parts of the town.Before you hear the rest of the talk, you have some time to look at questions 15 to 20.[Pause the recording for 30 seconds.]Now listen and answer questions 15 to 20.So Number 1 for me isMerrivales, which is in one of the busiest parts of the town leading down to the harbour. It’s in a side street so it doesn’t look out over the water but it’s very close, so you can take a walk after your meal and find one of the cafes with live music. At Merrivales you can enjoy delicious fresh fish and seafood.(15)The friendly staff offer very attentive service and a really enjoyable evening.The Lobster Pot is on the main road going down to the harbour so it also misses out on the sea view, but the food makes up for that.(16)It serves a huge range of fish and seafood as well as vegetarian and meat dishes so there’s something for everyone. Prices are from mid-range to fairly expensive so it’s really only for a special occasion.Elliots is in the city centre and is a very upmarket restaurant in the evening but during the day it serves lunch and coffee.(17)It’s on the twentieth floor above some offices and it’s a great place to sit for a while as you can see most of the city spread out from there. It does get very busy though and you may have to wait to be served.Not far from the city centre is The Cabin which is on the canal bank. You can’t park your car there - it’s a fifteen-minute walk from the nearest car park - but(18)it’s very peaceful, a good place to relax away from the traffic. It’s not cheap but it’s an ideal place for a long lunch.The Olive Tree is a family-run restaurant in the city centre offering beautifully prepared Greek dishes. It’s well known locally and very popular. Service can be slow when it’s busy as all the food is freshly made. There’s plenty of room and on Friday and Saturday nights,(19)the wooden floors resound with live music and dancing which is certainly worth going for.The last place I want to recommend has only just opened in a converted school building. The Old School Restaurant has been very cleverly renovated.(20)The use of mirrors, plants and the colours on the walls makes you feel as though you’re in a large garden instead of the city centre. There are only a few dishes on the menu but they change every day.So Tanya, I...11．The market is now situatedA．under a car park.B．beside the cathedral.C．near the river.正确答案：A解析：Distraction B: ‘It was originally ... in front of the cathedral’ but later ‘it was moved’. It was never ‘beside’ the cathedral; C: ‘at the beginning of the twentieth century it was moved to a site by the river’ but John goes on to say it found another ‘home’‘in the 1960s’.

Distraction F: ‘it doesn’t look out over the water’, so it doesn’t have good views. Distraction G: It is in ‘one of the busiest parts of the town’, so it isn’t a quiet location. Distraction H: It doesn’t have a wide menu - John just mentions ‘delicious fresh fish and seafood’.16．The Lobster Pot ______正确答案：H解析：Distraction E: It’s not good value because prices ‘are from mid-range to fairly expensive’. Distraction F: ‘it also misses out on the sea view’. Distraction G: It ‘is on the main road’ so it isn’t in a ‘quiet location’.17．Elliots ______正确答案：F解析：Distraction G: John says it ‘is in the city centre’so it’s not in a ‘quiet location’.

First you have some time to look at questions 21 to 26.[Pause the recording for 30 seconds.]Now listen carefully and answer questions 21 to 26.Reza: Hi Mike.Mike: Hi Reza, this is Helen.Helen: Hello!Mike: We’re really pleased you’ve agreed to join us on this film project.Helen: Yes, your experience is going to be so useful.Reza: Well, I hope so. It’s the technical side I know best - lighting, sound and stuff.Mike: But you think the script is OK?Reza: Yes, I think it’s great! Um, have you decided where you’re going to shoot?Helen: Well, there’s the water-mill scene at the end. And we’ve thought about some locations in town we can use. They’re behind the shopping mall and on a couple of residential streets. And in an empty shop on campus. It means we don’t have to worry about getting permission from a shopowner.Mike: So(21)do you think we should go to all the locations with you?Reza: It would be a good idea. We need to talk about the levels of background noise so we know they’re all going to be reasonable places to film.Mike: But the sounds of traffic will make it more natural.Helen: I think Reza means things like aeroplanes, trains and so on that would mean we have to stop filming.Reza: Exactly. And also I’ll make notes for myself about what lighting I’m going to need. I think the university department has a good range of equipment, but I’ll need to make a list for each location for my own reference. Anyway, once we’ve had a look round,(22)youcan do the roadworks check.Mike: What do you mean?Reza: You need to find out about building work or roadworks. Because you could start filming one day and come back in the morning to find one of the roads has been dug up! The local council have to be informed about things like that so you can find out from them.Mike: OK. Then I think we need to work from the script and put together a list of all the scenes and decide which ones we’re going to film when. We need to(23)prepare the shooting schedule, day by day.Reza: You’re right. Then when you know how long filming is going to last, you can tell everyone when they’re needed.Helen: OK, so as soon as we can, we’ll audition, and then when we contact people to offer them parts we can send the exact dates and(24)make really sure they are free. Because often the actors are all enthusiastic but then when you try to pin them down about whether they’re really free at that time, you find they’ve got exams or something, or they’re off to a festival just before and you have to rush about looking for replacements.Mike: Then, we need people who can take over the main parts if one of our stars falls ill or something.Reza: Yes, I agree. So offer the main parts to the people we really want, and then look at other volunteers who were OK.Helen:(25)Yes. We can select the understudies once the main roles have been confirmed. So, once we’ve got that sorted and we’ve held all the rehearsals of the main scenes, we’ll be ready to start filming.Reza: Yes, that sounds good. Anything else?Mike: Er, well, just housekeeping, really. We don’t actually need costumes because actors will wear their own clothes.(26)My family has agreed to lend us some pieces of furniture which we need, so we’ll go and fetch those the weekend before we start.Helen: We’ll provide food and drink during shooting so I’m going to borrow some cool-boxes.Mike: And I’ve got a little van. Most of the locations are within walking distance of the halls of residence anyway. The only one further away is the water-mill.Reza: Ah, yes, can you tell me about that?Mike: Um, OK. Er, hang on a minute, I’ll get my notes. There’s a plan in them.Before you hear the rest of the conversation, you have some time to look at questions 27 to 30.[Pause the recording for 30 seconds.]Now listen and answer questions 27 to 30.Mike: Here’s the mill. You see, basically you have a vertical water-wheel which was used to power the grinding stones.Reza: Mm, it sounds really interesting. Will we film inside?Helen: Yes. That’s where the final scene between the girl and the man takes place. Our plan is to(27)fix one camera outside bv the window next to the door, to film through the window, and then have another handheld camera inside the mill. That means we can get two views of the same scene. We were going to do something using a mirror, but we decided that would be too complicated.Mike: Yes, by doing it that way,(28)all we’ll need is lights on the inside, next to the wall behind the wheel which can shine across to the opposite wall.Reza: Hmm. Will that give enough light?Helen: I think so, because the scene is in the evening; it shouldn’t be too bright. The actors will be carrying torches too.Mike: And(29)we’ll have an old screen made of wood just inside the door, because it’s a new door and it’ll look wrong. The lights won’t shine directly on it so it’ll be fine.Reza: So you won’t actually show the door open?Mike: No.(30)There’s a huge box on the floor against the wall farthest from the wheel. We’ll see the girl approaching the mill on her bike. Then we see through the window and the man is inside looking at it, then the next shot is the girl, in the room with him,opening the box.Reza: So it’ll be a mysterious ending! Well, I think it’s going to be a great project.Mike: Good.Helen: Thanks!Complete the flow-chart below.Choose SIX answers from the box and write the correct letter, A-l, next to questions 21-26.A actorsB furnitureC background noiseD costumesE local councilF equipmentG shooting scheduleH understudiesI shopowners 21．正确答案：C解析：Distraction ‘equipment’ is wrong because Reza says ‘I’ll make notes for myself about what lighting I’m going to need ... a good range of equipment, but I’ll need to make a list for each location for my own reference’(he will decide on the lighting equipment himself so they won’t discuss it).22．正确答案：E解析：The word ‘roadworks’ tells you when to listen for the answer to 22 but it does not come immediately.23．正确答案：G24．正确答案：A25．正确答案：H解析：The meaning of ‘understudies’ is given before you hear the word.26．正确答案：B解析：Distraction Mike mentions ‘costumes’ but points out they ‘don’t actually need’ any.Choose four answers from the box and write the correct letter, A-G, next to questions 27-30.A lightsB fixed cameraC mirrorD torchesE wooden screenF bikeG large box27．正确答案：B解析：It’s outside the mill, by the window.

First you have some time to look at questions 31 to 40.[Pause the recording for one minute.]Now listen carefully and answer questions 31 to 40.Lecturer: Good afternoon. I want this afternoon as an introduction to our ecology module to offer examples of exotic pests - non-native animals or plants which are, or may be, causing problems - which might prove a fruitful topic for seminar papers later in the term. People and products are criss-crossing the world as never before, and on these new global highways, plants and animals are travelling too.Exotic plants and animals are turning up in Antarctica and on the most remote islands on Earth. For example, the Australian red-backed spider - it’s made its way to countries fairly near home, such as New Zealand and Japan, as some of you may know - well, it’s also been found on Tristan da Cunha,(31)which is a remote island, thousands of miles from anywhere, way out in the middle of the Atlantic.Now, another famous animal invader in the other direction, so to speak, from England to Australia in the southern hemisphere, is the rabbit. This was in 1830 and it might seem less of a threat, but it became an extraordinarily destructive pest. The fact that rabbits increased so rapidly is perhaps more understandable when we remind ourselves that they had originally been introduced to England from continental Europe eight centuries earlier.(32)This was because theywere regarded as a luxury food source, and in spite of having warm fur, they probably originated on the hot dry plains of Spain, which of course explains why they thrive in the climate of Australia.A much less cuddly example of a pest introduced to Australia, this time from America, is fire ants. These are increasing and spreading very fast.(33)Their huge nests can now be found in gardens in the city of Brisbane and they are costing the Australian government a great deal of money in control measures. These were an accidental introduction, rather than a deliberate one, brought to Australia, probably in horticultural imports or in mud on second-hand machinery.As a biologist and conservationist, I have become increasingly concerned about these matters. Exotic invasions are irreversible and deserve to be taken more seriously even when they aren’t particularly damaging. For example, something that is not necessarily a major disaster compared to other ecological experiments:(34)in 1975 an Australian species of earthworm was deliberately introduced to the northern hemisphere, in Scotland, because they were bigger than the natives.(35)The aim was that they would be more effective than native species, but in fact they don’t do more for the soil condition than the smaller locals which they displace. Although they don’t do a lot of harm, as far as we know up to now, this will probably prove to have been a mistake.A much more serious case, also in Scotland, as well as other countries, along with the latest victim, Iceland, is the New Zealand flatworm. This is a most unwelcome newcomer in these regions of (36)north-west Europe. Basically, this flatworm came into these countries by accident. It’s now been realised that it was actually (37)carried in the plant pots containing exotic ornamental shrubs and so on, and as it eats local earthworms, and doesn’t benefit the local ecology in any way, it is a real pest.Next, there’s a further instance, this time in the water and it’s come from Japan. It’s(38)a delicious but very fast-spreading seaweed and is one of many exotic species, large and small, in the seas covering the rocks around Australia. Unfortunately, it is replacing indigenous seaweeds and permanently altering the ecosystem. However, to look at the situation from a business point of view - it is now being harvested and exported, dried, back to Japan, its original home, where it’s particularly popular. So sometimes we may find accidental benefits from apparently harmful arrivals.Well, you could say that world ecology is now going the same way as popular culture. Global music and fashions, food and drinks are taking over from local ones in every land. And in ecosystems, we find vigorous exotic invaders overwhelming native species and natural habitats.But can we find any examples of invaders which appear to be a problem and then find that in fact they may not be such a big issue after all? We might take as an example a native of Australia, the budgerigar, the most common pet parrot in the world, of course. Because there have been many escapes over the years, it is now to be found flying about in feral flocks where the climate suits it. So, these flocks of budgerigars have been getting very numerous(39)in the south-east of the United States, particularly in residential areas. People have been getting quite worried about this, but it has been observed that the size of the flocks has diminished somewhat recently. The fact that they are smaller is thought to be(40)due to the fact that new competitors for their habitat have arrived from other places.That’s the last example for now. What I’d like you to consider isthis: Is the planet Earth moving towards a one-world ecosystem? How far would it be a wholly bad development?Complete the table below.Write NO MORE THAN TWO WORDS for each answer.31．正确答案：(the)Atlantic(Ocean)32．正确答案：(luxury)food(source)解析：Distraction Rabbits’‘fur’ is mentioned but there is no suggestion they were imported for the fur to be ‘used for’ something.33．正确答案：(in)gardens解析：Distraction ‘nests’ are what the ants make, not their ‘habitat’(which is what this column is about).34．正确答案：earthworm / earth worm35．正确答案：soil(condition)解析：Distraction ‘natives’, ‘native species’ and ‘locals’ are all mentioned but the pests ‘displace’ these, they do not improve them.36．正确答案：North(-)west / north(-)west解析：Distraction ‘Scotland’ and ‘Iceland’ are mentioned, but they are names of countries so they cannot be the adjective in front of ‘Europe’.37．正确答案：plant pots解析：Distraction ‘ornamental shrubs’ are mentioned but the flatworms came in the earth in the pots, not the plants.。

Hundreds of educators from across the country were meeting to discuss the need for greater cultural diversity in the school curriculum. I took a taxi to my hotel. On the way, my driver and I chatted about the whether and the tourists. The driver was a White man in forties. ‘How long have you been in this country?’ he asked. ‘All my life!’ I replied, ‘I was born in the United States.’ With strong southern accent, he remarked, ‘I was wondering because your English is excellent.’ Then I explained as I had done many times before, ‘My grandfather came here from China in the 1880s. My family has been here in America for ever a hundred years.’ He glanced at me in the mirror. Somehow, I didn’t look American to him. My appearance looked foreign. Questions liked the one my taxi driver asked make me feel uncomfortable. But I can understand why he could not see me as an American. He had a narrow but widely shared sense of the past: a history that has viewed Americans as descendants of Europeans. Race has functioned as something necessary to the construction of American character and quality in the creation of our national identity—American has been defined as ‘white’. But American has been racially diverse since our very beginning on the Virginia shore, where the first group of Englishmen and Africans arrived in the 17th century. And this reality is increasingly become visible everywhere.11.What was the theme of the conference the speaker was to attend?12.Why did the taxi driver ask the speaker how long he has been in the US?13.What message did the speaker wish to convey?Passage TwoLaws have been written to govern the use of American National Flag, and to ensure proper respect for the flag. Custom has also governed the common practice in regard to its use. All the armed services have precise regulations on how to display the national flag. This may vary somewhat from the general rules. The national flag should be raised and lowered by hand. Do not raise the flag while it is folded. Unfold the flag first, and then hoist it quickly to the top of the flagpole. Lower it slowly and with dignity. Place no objects on or over the flag. Do not use the flag as part of a costume or athletic uniform. Do not print it upon cushions, handkerchiefs, paper napkins or boxes. A federal law provides that the trademark cannot be registered if it comprises the flag, or badgers of the US, When the flag is used to unveil a statue or monument, it shouldn’t serve as a covering of the object to be unveiled. If it is displayed on such occasions, do not allow the flag to fall to the ground, but let it be carried high up in the air to form a feature of the ceremony. Take every precaution to prevent the flag from soiled. It should not be allowed to touch the ground or floor, nor to brush against objects.14.How do Americans ensure proper respect for the national flag?15.What is the regulation regarding the raising of the American National Flag?16. How should the American National Flag be displayed at an unveiling ceremony?17.What do we learn about the use of the American National Flag?Passage ThreeIn some large American city schools, as many as 20-40% of the students are absent each day. There are two major reasons for such absences: one is sickness, and the other is truancy. That is staying away from school without permission. Since school officials can’t do much abou t the illness, they are concentrating on reducing the number of truancy. One of the most promising schemes has been tried in Florida. The pupils there with good attendance have been given free hamburgers, toys and T-shirts. Classes are told if they show improved rates of attendance, they can win additional gifts. At the same time, teachers are encouraged to inspire their students to come to school regularly. When those teachers are successful, they are also rewarded. “we’ve been punishing truancy for years, but that hasn’t brought them back to school,” One school principal said. Now we are trying the positive approach. Not only do you learn by showing up every day, but you earn. In San Francisco, the board of education has had a somewhat similar idea. Schools that show a decrease in deliberate destruction of property can receive the amount of money that would be spent on repairs and replacements. For example, 12,000 dollarshad been set aside for a school’s property damages every year. Since repair expenses of damaged property required only 4,000 dollars, the remaining 8,000 dollars was turned over to the student activity fund. “Our democracy operates on hope and encouragement,” said the school board member. “Why not provide some positive goals for students an d teachers to aim at?”18 which reason for students’ absences is discussed in great detail?19 who will benefit from the scheme being tried in Florida?20 what measure has been taken in San Francisco to reduce the destruction of school property?［答案］1-10 DABCA ADCAB11-20 CDAAB DCCDB。
