person caring about another represents lifes greatest value.(Jim Rohn)关爱他人是人生最大的价值。(吉姆罗恩)During this experience I enjoyed bonding with the residents and making new friends.Ialso liked learning more about what comes with old age,because it prepares me for oldage myself.Another thing I liked was merely the joy of being able to help others.在此次经历中,我喜欢与居民建立起亲密关系、结交新朋友。我也喜欢进一步了解“什么会伴随着年老而来”,因为这能让我自己对年老有所准备。另外我所喜欢的单纯就是能帮助他人的喜悦感。The way that the elderly respond to the new activities and the students is what I enjoymost.I love seeing the joy that they get from getting out of the rooms and enjoying a newactivity other than their scheduled activity.They all like the company and they enjoyyounger people taking the time out of their

did the boy from Central California do according to the report?【答案】A【解析】新闻开头指出,来自加利福尼亚州中部的九岁男孩“在旧金山和恶魔岛之间游了一个来回(swim from San Francisco to Alcatraz Island and back)”。随后又说,这名男孩创下了游往这座原监狱的纪录(其中the former prison回指Alcatraz Island),综上可知A)正确。B)利用男孩年龄“9岁干扰,但文中并未提到他生日。C)将男孩“游往(swim)这座原监狱的小岛”窜改为“参观(visited)一所监狱。D)将男孩的游泳路线往返(from.to.and back)”窜改为绕着小岛(around an island)。Q2:What did the father do to encourage his son?【答案】A【解析】题干A)契合I段男孩父亲行为把奖金翻倍到200美元鼓励自己的孩子(to encourage his.son,he doubled it to$200)”。B)利用个别词汇encourage捏造“全程加油打气”。C)“树立榜样”新闻中并未提及。D)中“电视台报道了男孩的事迹”虽与新闻内容相关,但这并非题干所问“父亲的举措(做什么来鼓励孩子)”。12【听力原文】News Report Two(晚婚假取消)On I January,new regulations will come into effect which eliminate an annual leavebonus for people who put off marrying until the age of 23 for women and 25 for men,theSouth China morning post reports.The holiday bonus was designed to encourage young people to delay getting marriedin line with Chinas one-child policy.But with that policy now being abolished,thisholiday incentive is no longer necessary,the government says.In Shanghai,a young couple at a marriage registration office told the paper that theydecided to register their marriage as soon as possible to take advantage of the existingpolicy because an extra holiday was a big deal for them.In Beijing,one registration officehad about 300 couples seeking to get married the day after the changes were announced,rather than the usual number of between 70 and 80.But one lawyer tells the paper that the changes still have to be adopted by localgovernments and these procedures take time.So people who are rushing to register formarriage can relax.【译文】据南华早报报道,新计生法将于1月1日起生效,年满23周岁结婚的女性和年满25周岁结婚的男性的年假奖励(编者注:晚婚假)将会被取消。这一假期奖励意在鼓励年轻人推迟结婚,以契合中国独生子女政策。但由于独生子女政策现已废止,这一年假奖励也就再无必要,中国政府表示。在上海一家婚姻登记处,一对年轻情侣告诉该报,他们决定尽快登记结婚以利用现行政策,因为这一额外的假期对他们而言是个非常重要的待遇。就在政策变动公布的第二天,北京一家婚姻登记处大约有300对新人要登记结婚,而平日里只有70到80对。不过,一位律师向该报表示,这些政策变动仍有待地方政府采纳,诸般程序还需时间。所以那些赶着去登记结婚的人可以松口气了。Q3:What was the purpose of the annual leave bonus in China?【答案】B【解析】B项同义改述段假期奖励的目的“鼓励年轻人推迟结婚时间(即,鼓励晚婚)”(其中late marriage与to delay getting married同义).A项与文中设立年假奖励的初衷“支持独生子女政策”(in line with Chinasone-child policy)相悖;C项由该奖励的目的“鼓励晚婚”臆断出“没有家庭牵绊的职场人士工作效率更高”:D项由常识关联“假期=旅游”捏造而来。Q4:What do we learn about the new regulations?【答案】D【解析】D项正确解读末段律师话语“新法规还有待地方政府采纳,程序实施仍需时间”(still have to be adopted.these procedures take time)。A项将Il段新政策变动颁布后年轻人的反应立刻登记结婚、赶在新法规未生效前享受额外假期”过度推断成“年轻人不愿接受这项新法规”,且把“北上两地年轻人的反应夸大为“所有年轻人的反应”:B项由晚婚假的设立目的“鼓励晚婚”反向臆测出新法规“能够帮助推广早婚”,但在录音材料中“(推广)早婚无据可循:C项“经济增长”为文中未提。13Q7:What are Rebecca Foley and Catherine Ashurst planning to do?【答案】D【解析】文末句提及公司创办人正计划与律师商谈如何最好地推进公司业务,可知D正确。A利用I段相似读音Auckland公司成立地点)设置干扰,新闻并未说明律师国籍。B利用段U.S.and Canada设障,但录音材料为收到来自美国、加拿大的清扫服务请求”,并未指出两位创办人要去美国、加拿大视察。C中legal dispute无据可循。Section B【听力原文】Conversation One(驾照考试)W:Kyle,how did your drivers theory exam go?It was yesterday,right?M:Yes,I prepared as much as I could,but I was so nervous since it was my

luck.【译文】女:凯尔,你的驾驶员理论考试考得怎么样?昨天考的,是吗?男:是的,我尽全力准备了,但因为这是我第二次考了,所以还是很紧张。不过,考试中心的工作人员特别亲切。我们聊了几句之后,我稍微平静了一些,这正是我需要的。然后,考试结束后,他们把我的成绩打印了出来,但我走出中心才敢打开看,通过考试真是让我松了一口气。女:恭喜。我就知道你能通过!我猜你第一次是低估了考试的难度,是吧?我听说很多人会犯这个错误,没做好准备就去考试了。不过考第二次就能通过也很棒了。我很为你骄傲。这样,你就只需全力准备接下来的路考了。你上过课了吗?男:是的谢谢,我很高兴现在要真正开车上路了。到目前为止,我只上了两次驾驶课,我的教练很善解人意,所以我真的很享受上课。我迫不及待要上下次课了。虽然课程相当贵,一小时20镑。教练说我总共要上30到40节课,那就是600到800镑。所以这次我得更加努力了,希望一次就过。女:那么,祝你好运。Q8:What did the man do yesterday?15【答案】C【解析】题干yesterday.C)项drivers theory exam在l段女士提问中复现由2段男士肯定回应确定C)为正确项。A)项driving lesson在对话中有所提及,但并未说明何时。B)和D)分别借男士考试目的“拿驾照和对话出现的“路考(road test)”,以及男士所说“通过考试松了口气”干扰,但两项均与题干限定的时间“昨天”不符。Q9:Why did he fail the exam the first time?【答案】A【解析】A)项not well prepared同义改写3段中underprepared,指出男士第一次考试失利原因“准备不足”。B)、C)、D)虽复现exam/test,但“考试迟到”、“考试形式”、“考试流程”对话中均未提及。Q10 What does the man say about his driving lessons?【答案】B【解析】costly同义替换5段中rather expensive,.B)正确。A)由nervous、afraid等表示情绪紧张、害怕”的词推出tough,但这是男士自述第二次理论考试的心情,并非对驾驶课程的形容。C)由successful the first time推出,但此处实为男士的期望(hopefully)首战告捷,而非实际上课效果。D)与课程一小时一节、多达30至40节(an hour30to40 lessons)相悖。Q11:What does the man hope to do next?【答案】A【解析】A)同义改写对话结尾男士期望hopefully,will be successful(on the road test)the first time。B)将两大关键词test,drive杂糅为test-drive,但文中test为考试之意,也并未提到“试驾”。C)借男士提到教练的内容干扰,但男士已经有一位满意的教练,并无另找教练的打算。D)由驾驶课收费昂贵(sito eight hundred pounds)编造挣钱凑上课费用相关内容。【听力原文】Conversation Two(去英国读书)M:Emma,I got accepted
