What I mean is, doesn't giving lectures take time away from the lab?W：Not really. No, I love teaching. And I don't mind spending more time doing that now than in the past. Also what I will say is that teaching a subject helps me comprehend it better myself. I find that it furthers my own knowledge when I have to explain something clearly. When I have to aid others in understanding it. And when I have to answer questions about it, teaching at a high level can be very stimulating. One, no matter how much expertise they may already have in the field, they are instructingM：any scientific breakthroughs that you see on the near horizon? a significant discovery on venture. And we can expect soon?W：the world is always conducting science and there are constantly new things being discovered. In fact, right now we have too much data sitting in computers. For example, we have thousands of photos of planet mars taken by telescopes that nobody has ever seen. We have them yet. Nobody has had time to look at them with their own eyes, let alone analyze them.Questions one to four are based on the conversation you have just heard.Question 1.

But some people do. I would say people who believe that dreams have meanings are superstitious, especially nowadays, in the past, during the times of ancient Egypt, Greece or China, people used to believe that dreams could foresee the future. But today, with all the scientific knowledge that we have, I think it's much harder to believe in these sorts of things.W：My grandmother is superstitious, and she thinks dreams can predict the future. Once she dreamed that the flight she was due to take the following day crashed, can you guess what she did? She didn't take that flight. She didn't even bother to go to the airport the following day. Instead she took the same flight. But a week later, everything was fine. Of course, no plane ever crashed.M：How funny did you know that flying is actually safer than any other mode of transport? It's been statistically proven. People can be so irrational sometimes.W：Yes, absolutely. But even if we think they are ridiculous, emotions can be just as powerful as rational thinking.M：Exactly. People do all sorts of crazy things because of their irrational feelings. But in fact, some psychologists believe that our dreams are the result of our emotions and memories from that day. I think it was Sigmund Freud who said that children's dreams were usually simple representations of their wishes, things they wished would happen. But in adults, dreams a much more complicated reflections of their more sophisticated sentiments.W：Isn't it interesting how psychologists try to understand using the scientific method something as bizarre as dreams? Psychology is like the rational study of irrational feelings.Questions five to eight are based on the conversation you have just heard.Question 5. What do both speakers think of dreams?答案：they don’t have special meaningsQuestion 6.

Since then, they have used sound waves and even satellites to map this massive body of water. How does the water in lake V ohs dog remain liquid beneath an ice sheet? The thick glacier above acts like an insulating blanket and keeps the water from freezing, says Martin Siegert, a glaciologist from the university of Wales. In addition, geothermal heat from deep within the earth may warm the hidden lake. The scientists suspect that microorganisms may be living in lake vohs stock closed off from the outside world for more than 2 million years.Anything found there will be totally alien to what's on the surface of the earth to see a good scientists are trying to find a way to drill into the ice and draw water samples without causing contamination. Again, robots might be the solution. If all goes as planned, a drill shaped robot will through the surface eyes. When it reaches the lake, it will release another robot that can swim in the lake, take pictures, and look for signs of life. The scientists hope their discoveries will shed light on life in outer space, which might exist in similar dark and airless conditions.Recently, close up pictures of jupiter, as moon europa shows signs of water beneath its icysurface.

He could did a tribe member through a social worker who worked with the tribesmen in Mexico. At first, the tribe member named gonzales was very reluctant to cooperate. He told Copeland that no amount of money could buy his language. But after Copeland explained to him what he intended to do with his research and how it would benefit that are home, orris gonzales agreed to help. He took Copeland to his village and served as an intermediary. Copeland says, thanks to him that are who Morris understood what our mission was and started trusting us.Entering the world of that, Hamas has been a laborious project for Copeland. To reach their homeland, he must drive 2.5 days from Houston, Texas. He loads up his vehicle with goods that the tribesmen can't easily get and gives the goods to them as a gesture of friendship that are Morris, who don't believe in accumulating wealth, take the food and share it among themselves.For Copeland, the experience has not only been academically satisfying, but also has enriched his life in several ways. I see people rejecting technology and living a very hard, traditional life, which offers me another notion about the meaning of progress in the western tradition. He says, I experience the simplicity of living in nature that I would otherwise only be able to read about. I see a lot of beauty in their sense of sharing and concern for each other.Questions 12 to 15 are based on the passage you have just heard.Question 12.Why did James Copeland want to study the American Indian tribe torah Morris?答案：he discovered that very little research had been done on their languageQuestion 13.

It seems today that people are terrified of the term, particularly of having the label attached to them. Accusing individuals or groups of being radical often serves to silence them into submission, thereby maintaining the existing state of affairs, and more important, preserving the power of a select minority who are mostly wealthy white males in western society.Feminism is a perfect example of this phenomenon. The women's movement has been plagued by stereotypes, misrepresentations by the media, and accusations of man hating and radicalism. When the basic foundation of feminism is simply that women deserve equal rights in all facets of life, when faced with a threat of being labeled radical women back down from their worthy cause and consequently participate in their own oppression, it has gotten to the point that many women are afraid to call themselves feminists because of the stigma attached to the word. If people refuse to be controlled and intimidated by stigma, as the stigma as lose all their power, without fear and which to feed such stigma as can only die. To me, a radical is simply someone who rebels against the norm. What advocates a change in the existing state of affairs? On closer inspection, it becomes clear that the norm is constantly involving and therefore is not a constant entity.So why there is deviation from the present situation? Such a threat than the state of affairs itself is unstable. And subject to relentless transformation, it all goes back to maintaining the power of those who have it and preventing the rise of those who don't. In fact, when we look at the word radical in a historical context, nearly every figure we now hold up as a hero was considered a radicalin his or her time. Radicals are people who affect change. They are the people about whom history is written. Abolitionists were radicals. Civil rights activists were radicals, even the founders of our country in their fight to win independence from England or radicals. Their presence in history has changed the way our society functions, mainly by shifting the balance of power that previously existed. There are some radicals who have made a negative impact on humanity. But undeniably, there would simply be no progress without radicals. That being said, next time someone calls me a radical, I will accept that label with pride.Questions 16 to 18 are based on the recording you have just heard.Question 16. What usually happens when people are accused of being radical?答案：preserving the power of a select minority who are mostly wealthy white males in western society.Question 17. What is the speaker's definition of a radical?答案：a radical is simply someone who rebels against the norm.Question 18. What does the speaker think of most radicals in the American history?答案：there would simply be no progress without radicals.Recording two.人的社会性因素：不可避免的被环境影响We are very susceptible to the influence of the people around us. For instance, you may have known somebody who has gone overseas for a year or so and has returned with an accent. Perhaps. We become part of our immediate environment. None of us are immune to the influences of our own world.And let us not kid ourselves that we are untouched by the things and the people in our life.Fred goes off to his new job at a factory. Fred takes his 10 minute coffee break, but the other workers take a half an hour. Fred says, what's the matter with you guys? Two weeks later, Fred is taking 20 minute breaks. A month later, Fred takes his half hour. Fred is saying, if you can't beat them, join them, why should I work any harder than the next guy?The fascinating thing about being human is that generally we are unaware that there are changes taking place in our mentality. It is like returning to the city smog after some weeks in the fresh air. Only then do we realize that we have become accustomed to the nasty smells mix withcritical people. And we learn to criticize mixed with happy people. And we learn about happiness. What this means is that we need to decide what we want from life and then choose our company accordingly.You may well say that is going to take some effort. It may not be comfortable. I may offend some of my present company. Right? But it is your life. Fred may say I'm always broke frequently depressed. I'm going nowhere and I never do anything exciting. Then we discover that friends, best friends, are always broke, frequently depressed, going nowhere and wishing that life was more exciting. This is not coincidence. Nor is it our business to stand in judgment of Fred. However, if Fred ever wants to improve his quality of life, the first thing he'll need to do is recognize what has been going on all these years. It's no surprise that doctors as a profession suffer a lot of ill health because they spend their lives around sick people. Psychiatrists have a higher incidence of suicide in their profession for related reasons.Traditionally, nine out of tension, whose parents' smoke smoke themselves. Obesity is in part an environmental problem. Successful people have successful friends. And so the story goes on.Questions 19 to 21 are based on the recording you have just heard.Question 19. What does the speaker say about us as human beings?答案：None of us are immune to the influences of our own world.Question 20. What does the speaker say Fred should do first to improve his quality of life?答案：It is like returning to the city smog after some weeks in the fresh airQuestion 21.What does the speaker say about psychiatrists?答案：Psychiatrists have a higher incidence of suicide in their profession for related reasons.Recording three.美元的发展历史Virtually every American can recognize a dollar bill at a mere glance. Many can identify it by its sound or texture. But few people indeed can accurately describe the world's most powerful, important currency. The American dollar bill is colored with black ink on one side and green on the other. The exact composition of the paper and ink is a closely guarded government secret. Despite its weighty importance, the dollar bill actually weighs little. It requires nearly 500 bills to tip the scales at a pound. Not only is the dollar bill lightweight, but it also has a brief lifespan. Few dollar bills survive longer. 18 months.The word dollar is taken from the German word, tailor the name for the world's most important currency in the 16th century.The Thaler was a silver coin first minted in 1518 under the reign of Charles the 5th, emperor of Germany.The concept of paper money is a relatively recent innovation in the history of American currency. When the constitution was signed, people had little regard for paper money because of its steadily decreasing value during the colonial era. Because of this lack of faith, the new American government minted only coins for common currency. Interest bearing bank notes were issued at the same time. But their purpose was limited to providing money for urgent government crises, such as American involvement in the war of 1812. The first non interest bearing paper currency was authorized by congress in 1862. At the height of the civil war. At this point, citizens, old fears of devalued paper currency had calmed. The dollar bill was born. The new green colored paper money quickly earned the nickname greenback. Today, the American dollar bill is a product of the federal reserve and is issued from the 12 federal reserve banks around the United States. The government keeps a steady supply of approximately 2 billion bills in circulation at all times.Controversy continues to surround the true value of the dollar bill.American history has seen generations of politicians argue in favor of a gold standard for American currency. However, for the present, the American dollar bill holds the value that is printed on it and little more. The only other guarantee on the bill is a federal reserve pledge as a confirmation in the form of government securities.Questions 22 to 25 are based on the recording you have just heard.Question 22. What does the speaker say about the American dollar bill?答案：The American dollar bill is colored with black ink on one side and green on the otherQuestion 23. What does the speaker say about the exact composition of the American dollar bill?答案：a closely guarded government secret.Question 24. Why did the new American government mint only coins for common currency?答案：because of its steadily decreasing value during the colonial era. Because of this lack of faithQuestion 25.

I think it was Sigmund Freud who said that children's dreams were usually simple representations of their wishes, thingsthey wished would happen. 【Q8】But in adults', dreams are much more complicated reflections of their more sophisticated sentiments.W: Isn't it interesting how psychologists try to understand using the scientific method something as bazaar as dreams? Psychology is like the rational study of irrational feelings.Q5: What do both speakers think of dreams?Q6: Why didn't the woman's grandmother take her scheduled flight?Q7: What does the woman say about people's emotions?Q8: What did psychologist Sigmund Freud say about adults' dreams?Section BPassage 1While some scientists explore the surface of the Antarctic, others are learning more about a giant body of water -- four kilometers beneath the ice pack. Scientists first discovered Lake Vostok in the 1970s by using radio waves that penetrate the ice. Since then, they have used sound waves and even satellites to map this massive body of water. How does the water in Lake Vostok remained liquid beneath an ice sheet? “The thick glacier above acts like insulating blanket and keeps the water from freezing,” said Martin Siegert, a glaciologist from the university of Wales. In addition, geothermal heat from the deep within the earth may warm the hidden lake.The scientists suspect that microorganisms may be living in Lake Vostok, closed or more than two million years. Anything found that off from the outside world f s on the surface of the earth, said Siegert. Scientists ’will be totally alien to what are trying to find a way to drill into the ice and draw water samples without causing ht be the solution. If all goes as planned, a contamination. Again, robots mig shift robot will melt through the surface ice. When it reaches the lake, it -drill will release another robot that can swim in the lake, take pictures and look for ries will shed light on life in outer signs of life. The scientists hope that discove up -space, which might exist in similar dark and airless conditions. Recently closed s moon, Europa, shows signs of water beneath the icy surface. ’pictures of Jupiter ropa to search for life there, Once tested the Antarctic, robots could be set to Eu too.Q9: What did the scientists first use to discover Lake Vostok in the 1970s? Q10: What did scientists think about Lake Vostok?Q11: What do the scientists hope their discoveries will do?Section BPassage 2The idea to study the American Indian tribe – Tarahumaras, came to James Copeland in 1984 when 【Q12】he discovered that very little research had been done on their language. He contacted the tribe member through a social worker who workedwith the tribes in Mexico. At first, the tribe member named Gonzalez was very reluctant to cooperate. He told Copeland that no amount of money could buy his language. But after Copeland explained to him what he intended to do with his research and how it would benefit the Tarahumaras, Gonzalez agreed to help. 【Q13】He took Copeland to his village and served as an intermediary. Copeland says, thanks to him, the Tarahumaras understood what their mission was and started trusting us. 【Q14】Entering the world of Tarahumaras has been a laborious project for Copeland.To reach their homeland, he must strive two and half days from Huston Taxes. He loads up his vehicle with goods that the tribe’s men can’t easily get and gives the goods to them as a gesture of friendship. The Tarahumaras, who don’t believe any humiliating wealth, take the food and share among themselves. For Copeland, the experience has not only been academically satisfying but also has enriched his life in several ways. 【Q15】“I see people rejecting technology and living a very hard, traditional life, which offers me another notion about the meaning of progress in the western tradition,” he says, “I experienced the simplicity of living in nature that I would otherwise only be able to read about.I see a lot of beauty and their sense of sharing and concern for each other.”Q12: Why did James Copeland want to study the American Indian tribe -- Tarahumaras?Q13: How did Gonzalez help James Copeland?Q14: What does the speaker say about James Copeland’s trip to the Tarahumaras village?Q15: What impresses James Copeland about the Tarahumaras tribe?Section CRecording 1What is a radical? It seems today that people are terrified of the term,minority, who are mostly wealthy white males in western society.Feminism is a perfect example of this phenomenon. The women's movement has been plagued by stereotypes, misrepresentations by the media, and accusations of man-hating and radicalism. When the basic foundation of feminism is simply that women deserve equal rights in all facets of life. When faced with the threat of being labelled radical, women back down from their worthy calls and consequently, participate in their own oppression.It has gotten to the point that many women are afraid to call themselves feminists because of a stigma attached to the word. If people refused to be controlled, and intimidated by stigmas, the stigmas lose all their power, without fear on which they feed, such stigmas can only die.To me, 【Q17】a radical is simply someone who rebels against the norm when advocates a change in the existing state of affairs. On close inspection, it becomes clear that the norm is constantly involving, and therefore, is not a constant entity. So why then, is deviation from the present situation such a threat, when the state of affairs itself is unstable and subject to relentless transformation?It all goes back to maintaining the power of those who have it and preventing the right of those who don't. In fact, when we look at the word "radical" in a historical context, nearly every figure we now hold up as a hero was considered a radical in his or her time. Radicals are people who affect change. They are the people about whom history is written. Abolitionists were radicals, civil rights activists were radicals, 【Q18】 even the founders of our country in their fight to win independence from England were radicals. Their presence in history has changed the way our society functions, mainly by shifting the balance of power that previously existed. Of course, there are some radicals who've made a negative impact on humanity, 【Q18】 but undeniably, there would simply be no progress without radicals. That been said, next time someone calls me a radical, I would accept that label with pride.Q16: What usually happens when people are accused of being radical?Q17: What is the speaker's definition of a radical?Q18: What does the speaker think of most radicals in the American history?Recording 2We are very susceptible to the influence of the people around us. For instance, you may have known somebody who has gone overseas for a year or so and has returned with an accent perhaps. We become part of our immediate environment. None of us are immune to the influences of our own world and let us not kid ourselves that we are untouched by the things and people in our life.Fred goes off to his new job at a factory. Fred takes his ten-minute coffee break, but the other workers take half an hour. Fred says, “What’s the matter with you guys?” Two weeks later, Fred is taking twenty-minute breaks. A month later, Fred takes his half hour. Fred is saying “If you can’t be them, join them. Why should I work any harder than the next guy?” The fascinating thing about being human is that generally we are unaware that there are changes taking place in our mentality. It is like returning to the city smog after some weeks in the fresh air. Only then do we realize that we’ve become accustomed to the nasty smells. Mix with critical people and we learn to criticize. Mix with happy people, and we learn about happiness. What this means is that we need to decide what we want from life and then choose our company accordingly. You may well say, "That is going to take some effort. It may not be comfortable. I may offend some of my present company." Right, but it is your life. Fred may say, "I’m always broke, frequently depressed. I’m going nowhereand I never do anything exciting." Then we discover that Fred’s best friends are always broke, frequently depressed, going nowhere and wishing that life was more exciting. This is not coincidence, nor is it our business to stand in judgement of Fred? However, if Fred ever wants to improve his quality of life, the first thing he'll need to do is recognize what has been going on all these years.It’s no surprise that doctors as a profession suffer a lot of ill health, because they spend their life around sick people. Psychiatrists have a higher incidence of suicide in their profession for related reasons. Traditionally, nine out of ten children whose parents smoke, smoke themselves. Obesity is in part an environmental problem. Successful people have successful friends, and so the story goes on.Q19 What does the speaker say about us as human beings?Q20 What does the speaker say Fred should do first to improve his quality of life?Q21 What does the speaker say about the psychiatrists?Section CLecture 3Virtually every American can recognize a dollar bill at a mere glance. Many can identify it by its sound or texture. But 【Q22】few people indeed can accurately describe the world's most powerful, important currency.The American dollar bill is colored with black ink on one side and green on the other;【Q23】 the exact composition of the paper and ink is a closely guarded government secret. Despite its weighty importance, the dollar bill actually weighs little. It requires nearly 500 bills to tip the scales at a pound. Not only is the dollar bill lightweight, but it also has a brief life span. Few dollar bills survive longer than 18 months.The word "dollar" is taken from the German word "taler," the name for the world's most important currency in the 16th century. The taler was a silver coin first minted in 1518 under the reign of Charles V, Emperor of Germany.The concept of paper money is a relatively recent innovation in the history of American currency. When the Constitution was signed, people had little regard for paper money because of its steadily decreasing value during the colonial era.【Q24】Because of this lack of faith, the new American government minted only coins for common currency. Interest-bearing bank notes were issued at the same time, but their purpose was limited to providing money for urgent government crises, such as American involvement in the War of 1812.The first noninterest-bearing paper currency was authorized by Congress in 1862, at the height of the Civil War. At this point, citizens' old fears of devalued paper currency had calmed, and the dollar bill was born. The new green colored paper money quickly earned the nickname "greenback."Today, the American dollar bill is a product of the Federal Reserve and is issued from the twelve Federal Reserve banks around the United States. The government keeps a steady supply of approximately two billion bills in circulation at all times.Controversy continues to surround the true value of the dollar bill.【Q25】American history has seen generations of politicians argue in favor of a gold standard for American currency. However, for the present, the American dollar bill holds the value that is printed on it, and little more. The only other guarantee on the bill is a Federal Reserve pledge of as a confirmation in the form of government securities.Q22: What does the speaker say about the American dollar bill?Q23: What does the speaker say about the exact composition of the American dollar bill?Q24: Why did the new American government mint only coins for common currency?Q25: What have generations of American politicians argued for?参考答案1.A)She can devote all her life to pursing her passion.2.D)Science education and scientific research.3.A)A better understanding of a subject.4.B)By making full use of the existing data.5.

victim’s family to apologize, and then promptly resigned. and in 1987, when a subsidiary of toshiba sole sensitive military technology to the former soviet union, the chairman of toshiba gave up his post.these executive actions, which toshiba calls the highest form of apology, may seem bizarre to us managers. no one at boeing resigned after the jal crash, which may have been caused by a faulty boeing repair.the difference between the two business cultures centers around different definitions of delegation. while us executives give both responsibility and authority to their employees, japanese executives delegate only authoritythe responsibility is still theirs. although the subsidiary that sold the sensitive technology to the soviets had its own management, the toshiba top executives said they must take personal responsibility for not creating an atmosphere throughout the toshiba group that would make such activity unthinkable, even in an independently run subsidiary.21. why did the chairman of toshiba resign his position in 1987?a) in japan, the leakage of a slate secret to russians is a grave came.b) he had been under attack for shifting responsibility to his subordinates.c) in japan, the chief executive of a corporation is held responsible for the mistake made by its subsidiaries.d) he had been accused of being cowardly towards crises that were taking place in his corporation.22. according to the passage if you want to be a good manager in japan, you have to ________.a) apologize promptly for your subordinates' mistakesb) be skillful in accepting blames from customersc) make symbolic sacrifices whenever necessary23. what’s professor george lodge’s attitude towards the resignations of japanese corporate leaders?a)

about ________.a) resignation as an effective way of dealing with business crisesb) the importance of delegating responsibility to employeesc) ways of evading responsibility in times of crisesd) the difference between two business culturespassage twoquestions 26 to 30 are based on the following passage.cars were also wonderfully flexible. the main earlier solution to horse pollution and traffic jams was the electric trolley bus (电车). but that required fixed overhead wires, and rails and platforms, which were expensive, ugly, and inflexible, the car could go from any a to any b, and allowed towns to develop in all directions with low-density housing, rather than just being concentrated along the trolley or rail lines. rural areas benefited too, for they became less remote.he was wrong, between 1970 and 1990, whereas america’s population grew by 23%, the aumber of cars on its roads grew by 60%, there is now one car for every 1.7 people there, one for every 2.1 in japan, one for every 5.3 in britain. around 550 million cars are already on the roads, not to mention all the trucks and mocorcyeles, and about 50 million new ones are made each year worldwide. will it go on? undoubtedly, because people want it to.a) poor people can’t afford itb) it is too expensive to maintainc) too many people are using itd) it causes too many road accidents27. according to the passage, the car

generations of cars are virtually pollution free.c) the population of america has not increased as fast.d) people’s environmental concerns are constantly increasing.passage threequestions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage.humans are the only animals definitely known to shed emotiomal tears. since evolution has given rise to few, if any, purposeless physiological responset, it is logical to assume that crying has one or more functions that enhance survival. although some observers have suggested that crying is a way to clicit assistance form others (as a crying baby might from its mother), the shedding of tears is hardly necessary to get help. vocal cries would have been quite enough, more likely than tears to gain attention, so, it appears, there must be something special about tears themselves.researchers at several other institutions are investigating the usefulness of tears as a means of diagnosing human ills and monitoring drugs.at columbia university dt.liasy faris and colleagues are studying tears for clues to the diagnosis of diseases away from the eyes. tears can be obtained painlessly without invading the body and only tiny amounts are needed to perform highly refined analyses.31. it is known from the first paragraph that ________.a) shedding tears gives unpleasant feelings to americanb) crying may often imitate people or even result in tragedyc) crying usually wins sympathy from other peopled) one who sheds tears in public will be blamed32. what does both those responses to tears(line 6, para, 1) refer to?a) crying out of sorrow and shedding tears for happiness.b) the embarrassment and unpleasant sensation of the observers.c) the tear shedder’s apology and the observer’s effort to stop the crying.33. counterproductive (lines 6-7, para,1) very probably means ________.a) having no effect at allb) leading to tensionc) producing disastrous impactd) harmful to health34. what does the author say about crying?a) it is a pointless physiological response to the environment.b) it must have a role to play in man’s survival.c) it is meant to get attention and assistance.d) it usually produces the desired effect.35. what can be inferred from the new studies of tears?a) emotional tears have the function of reducing stress.b) exposure to excessive medication may increase emotional tears.c) emotional tears can give rise to dry eye syndrome in some cases.d) environmental pollutants can induce the shedding of emotional tears.passage fourquestions 36 to 40 are based on the following passage.if sufficient rest is not included in a training program, imbalance between excess training and inadequate rest will occur, and performance will decline. the overtraining syndrome(综合症) is the name given to the collection of emotional, behavioral, and physical symptoms due to overtraining that has persisted for weeks to months. it is marked by cumulative exhaustion that persists even after recovery periods.the treatment for the overtraining syndrome is rest. the longer the overtraining has occurred, the more rest required, therefore, early detection is very important, if the overtraining has only occurred for a short period of time (e.g. 3-4 weeks) then interrupting training for 3-5 days is usually sufficient rest. it is important that the factors that lead to overtraining be identified and corrected. otherwise, the overtraining syndrome is likely to recur. the overtraining syndrome should beconsidered in any athlete who manifests symptoms of prolonged fatigue and whose performance has leveled off or decreased. it is important to exclude any underlying illness that may be responsible for the fatigue.36. the first paragraph of the passage tells us that ________.a) the harder an athlete trains, the better his performance will beb) rest after vigorous training improves an athlete’s performancec) strict systematic training is essential to an athlete’s top performanced) improvement of an athlete’s performance occurs in the course of training37. by overtraining the author means ________.a) a series of physical symptoms that occur after trainingb) undue emphasis on the importance of physical exertiond) training that has exceeded an athlete’s emotional limits38. what does the passage tell us about the overtraining syndrome?a) it occurs when athletes lose interest in sports.b) it appears right after a hard training session.c) the fatigue it results in is unavoidable in the athlete’s training process.c) it manifests itself in fatigue which lingers even after a recovery period.39. what does the phrase level off (line 7, para,4)most probably mean?a) slow down.c) stop improving.d) be on the decline.40. the author advises at the end of the passage that ________.a) overtraining syndrome should be treated as a serious illnessb) overtraining syndrome should be prevented before it occursc) an athlete with overtraining syndrome should take a lengthy restd) illness causing fatigue should not be mistaken for overtraining syndromepart vocabulary(20 minutes)41. these were stubborn men. not easily ________to change their mind.a) tilted c) persuadedb) converted d) suppressed42. the circus has

知识模块：听力Section BDirections: In this section, you will hear 3 short passages. At the end of each passage, you will hear some questions. Both the passage and the questions will be spoken only once. After you hear a question, you must choose the best answer from the four choices marked A, B, C and D.听力原文：I fell in love with England because it was quaint —all those little houses, looking terribly old-fashioned but nice, like dolls’houses. I loved the countryside and the pubs, and I loved London. I’ve slightly changed my mind after seventeen years because I think it’s an ugly town now.Things have changed. For everybody, England meant gentlemen, fair play, and good manners. The fair play is going, unfortunately, and so are the gentlemanly attitudes and good manners —people shut doors heavily in your face and politeness is disappearing. I regret that there are so few comfortable meeting places. You’re forced to live indoors. In Paris I go out much more, to restaurants and nightclubs. To meet friends here it usually has to be in a pub, and it can be difficult to go there alone as a woman. The cafes are not terribly nice.As a woman, I feel unsafe here. I spend a bomb on taxis because I will not take public transport after 10 p.m. I used to use it, but now I’m afraid.The idea of family seems to be more or less non-existent in England. My family is well united and that’s typically French. In Middlesex I had a neighbour who is 82 now. His family only lived two miles away, but I took him to France for Christmas once because he was always alone.Questions 30 to 32 are based on the passage you have just heard.30. Why doesn’t the speaker like London?31. Where do people usually meet their friends in England?32. Why did the speaker take her neighbour to France for Christmas?16．A．She is not used to the life there now.B．She has lived there for seventeen years.C．She prefers to live in an old-fashioned house.D．She has to be polite to everyone she meets there.正确答案：A解析：短文开头说话者提到fell in love with England，后面提到...changed my mind...because I think it’s an ugly town now，随后说话者列举了不喜欢伦敦的理由：人们的礼貌荡然无存，休闲地方不再美好，夜晚不再安全等，由此可知，她现在已不习惯伦敦的生活，故答案为[A]。

知识模块：听力17．A．In a cafe.B．In a pub.C．In a restaurant.D．In a nightclub.正确答案：B解析：选项表明，本题考查地点场所，听音时应留意与地点有关的信息。

知识模块：听力18．A．He didn’t like the British idea of family.B．He was from a typical French family.C．He had never been to France.D．He felt lonely in England.正确答案：D解析：短文末尾提到but I took him to France for Christmas once because he was always alone，由此可知，说话者带她的邻居到法国过圣诞节是因为她的邻居一直很孤独，故答案为[D]。

知识模块：听力听力原文：Your professor has asked me to talk to you today about the topic that should be of real concern to civil engineers: the erosion of the U.S. beaches. Let me start with some statistics. Did you know that 90% of the coast in this country is eroding? On the Gulf of Mexico for instance, erosion averages 4 to 5 feet per year. Over the past 20 years, there has been an increase in building along the coast, even though geologists and environmentalists have been warning communities about problems like erosion. Someway, communities have tried to protect their buildings and roads and to build seawalls.However, geologists have found that such stabilizing structures actually speed up the destruction of the beaches. These beaches with seawalls, called stabilized beaches, are much narrower than beaches without them. You may wonder how seawalls speed up beach loss. The explanation is simple. If the flow of the beaches is gentle, the water energy is lessened as it washes up along the shore. It is reduced even more when it returns to the sea as it doesn’t carry back much sand. On the other hand, when the water hits the nearly-vertical face of the seawall, it goes straight back to the sea with the full force of its energy and it carries back a great deal of sand. Because of the real risk of losing beaches, many geologists support a ban on all types of stabilizing construction on shorelines.Questions 33 to 35 are based on the passage you have just heard.33. Why do communities build seawalls?34. How does a gently-sloping beach help prevent erosion?35. What do the geologists advise people to do?19．A．To protect beachfront property.B．To reduce the traffic on beach roads.C．To provide privacy for homeowners.D．To define property limits.正确答案：A解析：选项均以“To+原形动词”开头表明，本题考查行为目的。
