Section 3 最难。好象是说两个学生问一个
In a recent study carried out by psychologists on the disruptive effects of smart phones, two groups of college students were given word-search puzzles. The first group was told to complete the puzzles with its participants' smart phones in their line of sight. The second group, however, was told that the phones would interfere with the equipment in the experiment and would need be moved away from the testing area. Midway through the second group's solving of the puzzles, the experiment called one of the phones and let it ring for a while before hanging up. Many of the students in that group were unable to focus from then on, becoming anxious and performing more poorly than the first group.
在心理学家最近就智能手机的弊端展开的一项研究中，两组大学生分到了一项玩拼单词游戏的任务。第一组被告知，游戏期间，他们的智能手机要放在他们的视线之内。第二组则被告知，手机会干扰实验使用的设备，故需要将其放到测试区之外。第二组进行游戏任务期间，实验方给该组成员的一部手机打了电话，让它响了一会儿，然后挂断了电话。该组的很多同学后续都变得无法集中注意力，变得很焦虑，游戏表现也比第一组更差。
Use of electronics has also been known to lead to a decline in human interactions. Rather than having real-life conversations, many express emotions and engage in deep conversations through social media sites. Many students use their phones and computers during class for non-academic activities, which leads to poor grades. Perhaps the most dramatic impact is the reduction in amount of sleep, which lead to poor health and weight gain.
众所周知，使用电子产品还会导致人与人接触的减少。相比在现实生活中进行交谈，很多人都选择了通过社交网站表达情感或进行深入对话。许多学生还会在课堂上用手机和电脑做跟课堂无关的事情，继而出现成绩不佳的问题。最为严重的影响或许要数睡眠时间的减少，这一问题还会进一步导致健康状况不佳和体重增加。
Technology is a great tool. However, it's important to recognize its downsides. Lack of sleep, reduction of productivity, and weight gain are only a few. If we are not careful about all these mind problems right now, the effect on the future generation is going to be much bigger.
技术确实是非常不错的工具。然而，认识其缺陷也很重要。睡眠不足、生产力下降，体重增加都仅仅是很小的一部分影响。如果我们现在不小心处理所有这些心理问题，那智能手机对下一代的影响还会更加严重。
Questions 22 to 25 are based on the passage you have just heard.
请根据刚才所听文章回答22-25题。
Q22 What were the college students in both groups required to do in the study?
问题22：两组大学生都被要求在研究中做些什么？

Q24 According to the passage, what is the most dramatic impact of smart phone use?
Q24：根据文章，使用智能手机最大的影响是什么？
Q25 What does the speaker suggest people do?

Watching more than 3 hours of television a day doubles memory loss in older people, a new study of more than 3,000 adults suggests. Scientist at University College London used memory and fluency tests on the same group of people 6 years apart. They found that those who watched on average less than 3 hours television a day showed a decline ever round 4 to 5 percent, while those who tended to watch more than 3 hours a day declined by an average of 8 to 10 percent. The research team say they believe the alert but passive nature of television watching maybe creating stress on the mind, which contributes to memory decline.
一项以3000多名成年人为实验对象的新研究表明，每天看电视超过3小时会使老年人记忆力减退问题加重一倍。伦敦大学学院的科学家对同一组受试者进行了一项时间间隔长达6年的记忆力和流利性测试。他们发现，那些平均每天看电视时长不到3小时的人表现出了4%~5%的记忆力衰退问题，而那些习惯每天看3小时以上的人记忆力下降的平均幅度为8%~10%。研究小组表示，他们认为看电视警觉但被动的本质会对大脑产生压力，从而导致记忆力的下降。
Older people who watch more television are also less likely to undertake activities knowing to preserve mental functioning, such as reading or interactive screen base pursuits, such as using the internet or playing video games. The researchers say that television viewing maybe a risk factor for all Alzheimer's disease, but more researches needed to establish a link.
同时，看电视看得更多的老年人也不太可能去做那些我们大家都知道有助于保持大脑活跃度的活动，比如阅读以及上网或玩电脑游戏等基于屏幕、讲究互动的活动。研咳嗽北硎荆邪⒍暮Dⅲ老年痴呆）可能都跟看电视有关，但要确定两者之间的联系还需更多研究。
While watching television may have educational benefits and relaxation benefits, the researchers advise that adults over the age of 50 should try and ensure that television viewing is balanced with other contrasting activities. If you're concerned that the amount of television you're watching could have a negative impact on your health, you should eliminate the amount of TV watch each day and undertake some healthy hobbies.
尽管看电视可能具有一定的教育、放松作用，但研究人员建议，50岁以上的成年人应该努力确保看电视与其他截然相反的活动保持平衡。如果你担心你看电视的时长可能会对你的健康产生负面影响，那建议你减少每天看电视的时间，从事一些健康的爱好。

Part I DICTATION (15MIN)
Eco-tourism
Nowadays many of us try to live in a way that will damage the environment as little as possible. We recycle our newspapers and bottles; we take public transport to get to work; and we try to buy locally produced fruit and vegetables. And we want to take these attitudes on holiday with us. This is why alternative forms of tourism are becoming popular in the world. There are lots of names for these new forms of tourism: responsible tourism, nature tourism, adventure tourism, educational tourism and more.
Although everyone may have a different definition, most people agree that these new forms of tourism should do the following: first, they should conserve the wildlife and culture of the area; second, they should benefit the local people; third, they should make a profit without destroying natural resources; and finally they should provide an experience that tourists want to pay for.
PART Ⅱ LISTENING COMPREHE (20 MIN)
SECTION A CONVERSATIONS
Questions 1 to 3 are based on the following conversation.
M: Ruth, do you know something about the Ethical Consumer Research Association?
W: Yes, so far as I know, it's an organization that provides information for shoppers.
M: Oh, what kind of information?
W: [1]Well, like letting shoppers know what the companies are doing behind the products that they see on the store shelves. And... and these shoppers are concerned with some ethical issues.
M: For example?
W: [1]Well, they may want to know that the product they're buying hasn't been made at the expense of the people who are producing it, whether it's in this country or abroad. They might also be concerned with other kinds of issues: for example, whether the company is involved in selling arms.
M: But how can one become an ethical shopper when buying things?
W: One way of thinking about ethical shopping is thinking about buying less.
M: Oh, how?
W: Well, you see, sometimes we buy a lot more than we need. We buy more items of clothing than we need. [2][3]So being an ethical shopper really means thinking a bit before you go and spend your money in the shops.
M: Could you give me some advice?
W: You see, some things may cost a bit more in the short-run, but be worth it in the long-run. So, if you are paying for quality, somethingwill last you longer and then save you money.
M：Mmm...
W: And sometimes you can buy things second-hand, and the quality in most second-hand shops is really very good these days.[2][3]So it's about thinking before you shop.
M: Ruth, thanks for your advice.
W: Pleasure.
Questions 4 to 7 are based on the following conversation.
M: Come sit down, Mary.
W: Thanks, Mr. Davies.
M: Now, which course are you doing?
W: I am doing management studies with English and German.
M: Uh-huh. How's it all going?
W: [4]Well, it's not going too well. I'm not really enjoying the course. And... well, I am not very happy.
M: All right, let's take things slowly. Tell me something about the course.
W: [4]Well, there is just so much work. [5]I thought that to do two languages with management studies would be very useful, but I find the management course very difficult sometimes. And then to study English and German too, it means I am working all the time and I never have time to relax.
M: What about your accommodation? Are you happy with that?
W: Not really. I mean the other students on my course are living in the student dormitory. So they see each other all the time. I am living in the rented room in a family house. I eat breakfast and dinner with the family. [6] But I get lonely in the evenings and at weekends.
M: So, making friends is a problem too.
W: Yes.
M: OK.I am going to make two suggestions.
W: All right.
M: First, which of the two languages do you enjoy most?
W: English Ifind it easier too.
M: So I'd like you to go and see your German tutor and say that you are going to stop attending German classes for the moment.
W: OK.
M: Next, [7]I think you should go to each of the five student dormitories, choose the one you like best and ask if you could move in there.Students are always moving in and out so that shouldn't be a problem.
W: Thanks a lot for your advice.
M: Not at all.
Questions 8 to 10 are based on the following conversation.
M: Hello, Yvonne.
W: Hello, Bob.
M: [8]You know today is a very special day. That's the 20th anniversary of the World Wide Web.
W: Ah, the World Wide Web. It's really changed our lives. And... and in such a short space of time.
M: Hmm... definitely. Now, do you know, on average, how long does someone spend surfing the net each day?
W: Umm, honestly I don't know. But I guess people must spend a lot of time on things like Facebook.
M: Hmm... that's true.
W: And I'm sure almost everyone uses the internet now-but I wonder how we'd cope without it?
M: Well, it might be a bit difficult without it.
W: I guess so. For instance, some people need it for social relationships.
M: Yes, especially those who are far away. Keeping in contact with friends and family would be impossible without the internet.
W: [9]But are there people who would cope without the internet?
M: Yes, there are. These people have some alternatives.
W: What kind?
M: For example, we could write to each other like we used to before we had the internet. It would be lovely to get more hand-written letters from friends and family rather than just e-mails, I think.
W: That's what we call 'snail-mail'. But of course, lots of more paper would mean that we'd need bigger file cabinets.
M: Yes, well, it's still incredible how the World Wide Web has expanded in twenty years, and how much we now rely on it.[10]I wonder what it will be like after another twenty years.
W: Well, for better or worse, the web will have a greater impact on our life and society.
SECTION B PASSAGES
Questions 11 to 13 are based on the following passage.
If you are a resident you will find it useful to open a bank account. All the large banks have a network of branches across the country and all offer similar services.
A visit to any one of them will be a friendly experience. However, to open an account, you have to be prepared to prove your identity in a number of ways.[11]You will find your passport useful but the bank will also want to see some form of proof that you are living where you say you are. This can be proved by a housing rent book, a tax form, water or electricity bill for the property, as long as it's in your name. [11] [12]In the bank, and elsewhere, you may hear the term 'utility bill'-this simply refers to bills relating to the provision of services to your home such as electricity, gas, water and telephone.
[13]There are other local facilities such as post offices where you can save your money and have access to affordable low cost loans. Where they exist in your local area, contact details can be obtained from the Citizen's Advice Bureau.
Questions 14 to 17 are based on the following passage.
Life is very stressful nowadays, so it is useful for us to talk about how to cope with stress. If you want to reduce some stress, you can reduce this by the word S-T-R-E-S-S that's stress. Let's begin with the 'S' . [14]'S' is that you can have the 'scheduling', for example, you don't have to schedule too many things in your day and if you feel you are too busy, you can cut out an activity or two.
And 'T' is 'treat your body well', because experts say that exercise can reduce stress and also if you eat healthy food, then your brain and your body get the nourishment they need.
The next letter is 'R'. 'R' means 'relax'. [15][17]You can do an activity you enjoy or that relaxes you, maybe you can reada book or learn a new hobby and even spend time with your pet and that could make a difference.
And the next letter is 'E'--'E' is about expectations. [16]This means, be realistic about yourself and others. So you can just do your best and don't try to be perfect and don't expect others to be too That will release and reduce a lot of stress for you and the people around you.
And the next letter is 'S' 'S' stands for sleep'. If you get a good night's sleep, [17]then it will keep your mind and your body in shape.
And the last letter is 'S' again which means 'smile'. [17]lfyou smile and have confidence, you will think in a more positive way and then youwill feel more comfortable when you are coping with the stress.
Questions 18 to 20 are based on the following passage.
New words enter the English language all the time. In factEnglish has always been in a state of evolution and in recent years more and more words and phrases have entered the language. But where do all these new words come from?
Words come out of the culture that they represent and they describe [18]so if you've got a new development in medicine, for example bird flu, then you'll get a new word coming out of that. If there's a military conflict that may well bring all sorts of new words to the fore. Going back in time the First and Second World Wars were times of great creativity of language because people from different countries met each other and exchanged their words and words developed from there. [18]So words come from the playground; they come from politics; they come from any area of life because every area of life is changing from day to day.
And does English have more words than any other language?
It certainly has more than other European languages and probably more than any other language in the world. [20]English is put together from so many different bits. [19]Originally it was a Germanic language and then after the Norman Conquest in 1066 there was an enormous influx of French words. And it comes from a country, the United Kingdom, which was quite an expansive, trading, colonial power in the past and all these have brought all sorts of other new words into the language.

Ontario Provincial Police initially reported about 360 vehicles and about 300 people had been stranded near Sarnia, Ontario, on Highway 402-a major thoroughfare linking the U.S.-Canada border to London, Ontario.

Directions: In this section, you will hear3 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 aquestion, you must choose the best answer from the four choices marked A), B),C), and D).Then mark the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 1 with a singleline through the centre.
Passage One
What makes a person famous? This is a mystery that many people have carefully thought about.
All kinds of myths surround the lives of well-known people.
Most people are familiar with the works of William Shakespeare, one of the greatest English writers of the 16th and 17th centuries.
Yet how many know Shakespeare, the person, the man behind the works?
After centuries of research, scholars are still trying to discover Shakespeare's personal history. It is not easily found in his writings.
Authors of the time could not protect their works. An acting company, for example, could change a play if they wanted to. Nowadays, writers have copyrights that protect their work.
Many myths arose about Shakespeare. Some said he had no formal education. Others believed that he began his career by tending the horses of wealthy men.
All of these myths are interesting, but are they true? Probably not.
Shakespeare's father was a respected man in Stratford-on-Avon, a member of the town council. He sent young William to grammar school.
Most people of Elizabethan times did not continue beyond grammar school; so, Shakespeare did have, at least, an average education.
Some parts of Shakespeare's life will always remain unknown.
The Great London Fire of 1666 burned many important documents that could have been a source of clues.
We will always be left with many questions and few facts.
16. What does the speaker say about William Shakespeare?
17. What do we learn about Shakespeare's father?
18. Why does the speaker say parts of Shakespeare's life will remain a mystery?
Passage Two
Wherever you go and for whatever reason, its important to be safe.
While the majority of people you will meet when travelling are sure to be friendly and welcoming, there are dangers. Theft being the most common.
Just as in your home country, do not expect everyone you meet to be friendly and helpful.
It's important to prepare for your trip in advance and to take precautions while you are travelling.
As you prepare for your trip, make sure you have the right paperwork.
You don't want to get to your destination, only to find you have the wrong visa, or worse, that your passport isn't valid anymore.
Also, make sure you travel with proper medical insurance, so that if you are sick or injured during your travels, you will be able to get treatment.
If you want to drive while you are abroad, make sure you have an international drivers license.
When you get to your destination, use official transport. Always go to bus and taxi stands.
Don't accept rides from strangers who offer you a lift. If there is no meter in the taxi, agree on a price before you get in.
If you prefer to stay in cheap hotels while travelling, make sure you can lock the door of your room from the inside.
Finally, remember to smile. It's the friendliest and most sincere form of communication, and is sure to be understood in any part of the world!
19. What is mentioned as a most common danger when people go travelling abroad?
20. What is the most important thing to do when you prepare for your trip abroad?
21. What does the speaker suggest you do when you arrive at your destination?
Passage Three
The British are supposed to be famous for laughing at themselves, but even their sense of humour has a limit, as the British retailer Gerald Ratner found out to his cost.
When Ratner took over his father's chain of 130 jewelry shops in 1984, he introduced a very clear company policy.
He decided that his shops should sell down market products at the lowest possible prices.
It was a great success. The British public loved his cheap gold earrings and his tasteless silver ornaments.
By 1991, Ratner's company had 2 400 shops and it was worth over 680 million pounds.
But in April of that year, Gerald Ratner made a big mistake.
At a big meeting of top British business people, he suited up and explained the secret of his success.
People say，How can we sell our goods for such a low price? I say， Because they are absolute rubbish.
His audience roared with laughter. But the British newspapers and the British public were not so amused. People felt insulted and stayed away from Ratner's shops.
Sales fell and six months after his speech, Ratner's share price had fallen by 42%. The following year, things got worse and Gerald Ratner was forced to resign.
By the end of 1992, he lost his company, his career and his house.
Even worse, 25 000 of his employees had lost their jobs. It had been a very expensive joke.
22. What did Gerald Ratner decide to do when he took over his father's shops?
23. On what occasion did Gerald Ratner explain the secret of his success?
24. How did people feel when they learned of Gerald Ratner's remarks?
25. What does the story of Gerald Ratner suggest?
Section C
Directions: In this section, you will heara passage three times. When the passage is read for the first time, you should listen carefully for its general idea. When the passage is read for the secondtime, you are required to fill in the blanks with the exact words you have justheard. Finally, when the passage is read for the third time, you should checkwhat you have written.
Now listen to the passage.
Looking at the basic biological systems, the world is not doing very well.
Yet, economic indicators show the world is prospering.
Despite a slow start at the beginning of the eighties, global economic output increased by more than a fifth during the decade.
The economy grew, trade increased, and millions of new jobs were created.
How can biological indicators show the opposite of economic indicators?
The answer is that the economic indicators have a basic fault: they show no difference between resource uses that sustain progress and those uses that will hurt it.
The main measure of economic progress is the gross national product(GNP).
In simple terms, this totals the value of all goods and services produced and subtracts loss in value of factories and equipment.
Developed a half-century ago, GNP helped establish a common way among countries of measuring change in economic output.
For some time, this seemed to work reasonably well, but serious weaknesses are now appearing.
As indicated earlier, GNP includes loss in value of factories and equipment, but it does not take into account the loss of natural resources, including nonrenewable resources, such as oil， or renewable resources, such as forests.
This basic fault can produce a misleading sense of national economic health.
According to GNP, for example, countries that overcut forests actually do better than those that preserve their forests.
The trees cut down are counted as income but no subtraction is made for using up the forests.
