How do you define success?
What do you think a successful person is? Someone who makes a lot of money? Someone who is remembered by future generations? Or someone who changes the world? A volunteer teacher and his students came to remind us of our more humble measures of success.

conditions for growth, moss is able to grow and flourish just like the peony.

With this wave of urbanization, competition for jobs, love and just about everything else is fierce. Ordinary people (24) _________ (lack) connections, a desirable appearance or other desired qualities can often feel frustrated with their circumstances. The poem serves as a reminder for everyone (25) _________ we don’t have to be the peony.
When we study human history, we come across names like Genghis Khan, Neil Armstrong and Mao Zedong. We credit these individuals with tremendous achievements, but we tend to forget the countless individuals (26) ________ helped them achieve greatness.

What Sociology Can Teach Us About Thanksgiving
Sociologists (社会学家) believe that the celebrations practiced within any given culture serve to restate that culture’s most important values and beliefs. This theory dates back to founding sociologist Émile Durkheim and has been proved true by (31) ________ researchers over more than a century’s time. According to sociologists, by examining a celebration, we can come to understand some (32) ________ things about the culture in which it is practiced. In this spirit, let’s take a look at what Thanksgiving reveals about us.
It may not be much of a(n) (33) ________ that coming together to share a meal with loved ones indicates how important relationships with friends and family are in our culture, which is far from a(n) (34) ________ American thing. When we gather together to share in this holiday, we effectively say, “Your (35) ________ and our relationship is important to me,” and in doing so, that relationship is restated and (36) ________. But there are some less obvious and more interesting things going on too.
In most households across the U.S., women and girls do the work of preparing, serving, and cleaning up after the Thanksgiving meal. (37) ________, most men and boys are likely to be watching and/or playing football. Of course, neither of these activities are exclusively gendered, but they are generally so. This means that Thanksgiving serves to (38) ________ the distinct roles we believe men and women should play in society, and even what it means to be a man or a woman in our society today.
One of the most interesting sociological research findings is that overeating (39) ________ with Thanksgiving illustrates American materialism and abundance. Sociologists found that the celebrations and how we talk about these experiences (40) ________ that Thanksgiving is really about celebrating “material abundance” — having a lot of stuff, especially food, available for use.

Section B
Directions: Read the following three passages. Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.
（A）
Why do old people dislike new music? As I’ve grown older, I often hear people my age say they just don’t make good music like they used to. Why does this happen? Luckily, psychology can give us some insights into this puzzle. Musical tastes begin to become clear as early as age 13 or 14. By the time we’re in our early 20s, these tastes get locked into place pretty firmly.
In fact, studies have found that by the time we turn 33, most of us have stopped listening to new music. Meanwhile, popular songs released when you’re in your early teens are likely to remain quite popular among your age group for the rest of your life.
There could be a biological explanation for this, as there’s evidence that the brain’s ability to make subtle distinctions between different chords, rhythms, and melodies weakens with age. So to older people, newer, less familiar songs might all “sound the same.”
But there are maybe some simpler reasons for older people’s dislike to newer music. One of the most researched laws of social psychology is something called the “mere exposure effect” , which in essence means that the more we’re exposed to something, the more we tend to like it.
This happens with people we know, the advertisements we see and, the songs we listen to. When you’re in your early teens, you probably spend a fair amount of time listening to music or watching music videos. Your favorite songs and artists become familiar, comforting parts of your routine.
For many people over 30, job and family obligations increase, so there’s less time to spend discovering new music. Instead, many will simply listen to old, familiar favorites from that period
of their lives when they had more free time.
Psychology research has shown that the emotions that we experience as teens seem more intense than those that come later. And we also know that intense emotions are associated with stronger memories and preferences. Both of these might explain why the songs we listen to during this period become so memorable and beloved.
So there’s nothing wrong with your parents because they don’t like your music. Rather it’s all part of the natural order of things.
56. What have studies found about most people by the time they turn 33?
A. They no longer listen to new music.
B. They find all music sounds the same.
C. They can make subtle distinctions about music.
D. They seldom listen to songs released in their teens.
57. Which of the following situations agrees with the “mere exposure effect”?
A. Tom likes the book, so he reads it more times.
B. Andy recites the words repeatedly and he is fed up with them.
C. Mike often listens to the same song and becomes more and more interested in it.
D. Peter goes to school by bike every day, and therefore his riding skills are better and better.
58. What conclusion can we draw according to the psychology research?
A. Teenagers are much more sensitive. B. Teenagers are much more emotional.
C. Teenagers’ preferences are more lasting. D. Teenagers’ emotions are more intense.
59. What is mainly discussed in this passage?
A. Quality issues of new music. B. Older people’s dislike of new music.
C. Older people’s changing musical tastes. D. Insights into the features of good music.

（C）
Is that “empathy”( 移 情 ) or “sympathy” you’re showing? While the two words are often incorrectly used interchangeably, the difference in their emotional impact is important.
Empathy, literally “walk a mile in others’ shoes”, goes beyond sympathy, a simple expression of concern for another person’s misfortune. Empathy requires the ability to recognize the suffering of another person from their point of view and to openly share their emotions, including painful distress. Since it requires shared experiences, people can generally feel empathy only for other people, not for animals. While people may be able to sympathize with a horse, for example, they cannot truly empathize with it.
Sympathy is a feeling and expression of concern for someone, often accompanied by a wish for them to be happier or better off. “Oh dear, I hope the new plan can really work. ” In general, sympathy implies a deeper, more personal, level of concern than pity, a simple expression of sorrow. However, unlike empathy, sympathy does not imply that one’s feelings for another are based on shared experiences or emotions.
Psychologists say that empathy is essential in forming relationships and acting toward others. Since it involves experiencing another person’s point of view — stepping outside one’s self — empathy enables genuinely helping behaviors that come easily and naturally, rather than having to be forced.
Empathetic people work effectively in groups, make more lasting friendships, and are more likely to step in when they see others being mistreated. It is believed that people begin to show empathy in infancy and develop the quality through childhood and adolescence. Despite their level of concern for others, however, most people tend to feel deeper empathy for people similar to themselves compared to people outside their family, community, race, or cultural background.
However, taken to extremes, deep or extended feelings of empathy can actually be harmful to one’s emotional health. Empathy can make people angry — perhaps dangerously so — if they mistakenly perceive that another person is threatening a person they care for.
For years, psychologists have reported cases of too empathetic patients endangering the well-being of themselves and their families by giving away their life savings to random needy individuals. Such too empathetic people who feel they are somehow responsible for the distress of others have developed an empathy-based guilt.
63. What does the phrase “walk a mile in others’ shoes” in Paragraph 2 mean?
A. Put oneself in others’ situation.
B. Walk a long distance in others’ shoes.
C. Accompany others in the long jogging.
D. Walk with others to share their experiences.
64. How do you understand the level of concern according to Paragraph 2 and Paragraph 3?
A. Pity = sympathy. B. Sympathy = empathy.
C. Pity < sympathy. D. Sympathy > empathy.
65. Which of the following statements about empathy is true?
A. Empathy is a feeling that exists between human beings and animals.
B. Empathy is essential to form relationship, so the deeper, the better.
C. Empathy is to just express sadness to other without shared experiences.
D. People are more likely to show empathy to those who have something in common.
66. What is the best title of the passage?
A. Empathy, Good or Bad? B. Two Important Human Feelings.
C. Empathy vs. Sympathy. D. Empathy, A Must in Relationship.
Section C
Directions: Read the following passage. Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box. Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need.
A. The same is true for foreign language.
B. However, there are sound reasons for the concern.
C. Foreign language learning should be given top priority to.
D. Exercise matters deeply for cognitive development for kids.
E. There is no doubt that instrumental training should be on the to-do list.
F. Perhaps, but they all owe current success, in part, to the training in that aspect.
Are extra curriculums really extra?
Former Harvard President Drew Faust recently wrote of students overlooking the benefit of following their interest in art or linguistics. The trend towards employable subjects like math and science is reflected in decisions of college students as well as primary and secondary schools. (67) ____________________ Great work of cognitive neuroscientists (认知神经学家) reveals what we think of as “extras” are central to strengthening our minds.
Take music as an example. A study shows that musical training, particularly instrumental training, produces long lasting changes in motor abilities and brain structure. The earlier a child starts instrumental training, the stronger the connection between the right and left hemispheres (半 球) of the brain. These changes thus affect the ability to listen and communicate as an adult. What is found in musicians is also common among world-class athletes and top-level managers. Is it a coincidence that Roger Federer, Elon Musk and Steve Job, all studied music for years as children? (68) ____________________ Science backs that up. Children who play an instrument 30 minutes a week over the course of a little over a year have more highly developed brains.
(69)____________________ Studying a second language restructures the brain which lasts into adulthood. The cortex (大脑皮层), which has the greatest changes when a second language is learned during childhood, influences thought and consciousness.
How about physical education? New research also reveals children who get aerobic exercise transform their brains due to a protein that is increased during exercise. (70)____________________ Yet 20 percent of U.S. schools put an end to it in favor of increased classroom time.
Concentration, evolved communication skills, and being a good team player are just a few of the benefits research shows extra curriculums have on a developing mind. To me, that list reads as one I might put together for a model employee.
IV. Summary Writing
Directions: Read the following passage. Summarize the main idea and the main point(s) of the passage in no more than 60 words. Use your own words as far as possible.
71.
TCM Breaks New Ground
Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), along with Chinese Kungfu and Peking Opera, is one of China’s cultural symbols recognized worldwide. It is precious treasure of Chinese civilization, and it has also made great contributions to world civilization by improving people’s health and promoting social progress.
There used to be a debate in China about whether TCM or Western medicine was better, and arguments can still be heard today. But actually, TCM and Western medicine are two different medical theoretical systems that cannot replace each other. In some aspects such as surgery, Western medicine is better than TCM, but in other areas, such as recovery after surgery and treatment of chronic ( 慢 性 的 ) diseases, TCM is more effective. This is why some Chinese hospitals provide both TCM and Western medicine treatments. A combination of both has been accepted by many Chinese people as the most effective treatment.
Today, promoting and innovating TCM has become a shared opinion in Chinese society. The Chinese government has made policies to support the development and innovation of TCM, with a view to establishing a Chinese healthcare development model paying equal attention to both.
The supportive policies of the Chinese Government will focus on three aspects. The first is the strengthening of TCM services in medical institutions. The second is to apply Internet technology to TCM management, including setting up a database containing TCM electronic medical records and prescriptions ( 处方). The third is to give better play to the advantages of TCM, such as acupuncture (针灸). The function of TCM in disease prevention and recovery will also be enhanced.
As long as TCM keeps its core strengths and respects the rules of development and innovation, it will surely be able to maintain its vitality and bring more benefits to people in China and the world.

Section B
Directions: In Section B, you will hear two short passages and one longer conversation, and you will be asked several questions on each of the passages and the conversation. The passages and the conversation will be read twice, but the questions will be spoken only once. When you hear a question, read the four possible answers on your paper and decide which one would be the best answer to the question you have heard.
Questions 11 through 13 are based on the following passage.
Good evening! Now, I know many of you are excited about the idea of getting paid to travel the world and see the sights. But remember, traveling isn’t all fun and games. It is hard work too. I remember when I was in Egypt to look at the pyramids. Now, of course they are fascinating—they are over 4,000 years old —but remember, Egypt is mostly desert and the temperature is often over forty-five degrees! So, the weather can be a problem.
And several years later, I was traveling down the Yangtze River in China with some photographers, and we constantly had engine trouble with our boat, so we couldn’t steer along the 6,380-kilometer river. Instead, we had to abandon our journey after just 2, 150 kilometers, which was a major disappointment.
The last journey I want to tell you about was the most rewarding. We went to Angel Falls, the tallest waterfall in the world. We backpacked for seventeen days through the jungles of Venezuela to get there. But when they finally came into view, with their breathtaking drop of 807 meters, it was incredible ! So, remember, being a travel writer may sound like an amazing career, and it is certainly rewarding, but you have to be prepared for every possibility !
(Now listen again, please.)
Questions:
11. What forced the speaker to stop his journey down the Yangtze River?
12. What might be the speaker’s career?
13. What does the speaker think of his job?
Questions 14 through 16 are based on the following report.
Today, I would like to talk about the new concept of fitness. What exactly is fitness? How do you know whether you are fit? Under the Old Fitness, this question is answered by taking a few tests and comparing your performance to the “standard” . The New Fitness leaves every individual to arrive at his or her own answer, based on individual needs, personal goals and different lifestyles.
The New Fitness definition is more flexible: you are fit if you can work effectively all at your
normal task; if you have enough energy left at the day’s end to invest in leisure activities; and if you have the strength to deal with an unexpected physical emergency — running a block to catch a bus, for instance, or rearrange all your furniture.
By this definition, a healthy, physically fit accountant would not be in the same shape as a healthy, physically fit athlete. But there’s no need to be.
Fitness can be divided into three basic factors: endurance, strength and flexibility. Of the three, endurance is the factor that is most often regarded as the key indicator of fitness. And the exercises which build endurance have the greatest effect on your overall health. The exercises which can provide you with training effect include jogging, swimming, bicycling, walking, rowing, rope-skipping, hiking, cross-country skiing and vigorous games of baseball, handball and soccer.
(Now listen again, please.)
Questions:
14. What is the new concept of fitness based on?
15. How is the New Fitness compared with the Old Fitness?
16. What is the report mainly about?
Questions 17 through 20 are based on the following conversation.
M: Hi, Linda. You look refreshed and energetic. Do you still practice yoga every day? W: Yes, I do. But riding to work instead of driving is the key.
M: You mean bike-sharing?
W: Yeah. Start-up bikes like OfO and Mobike have brought us a new trend, haven’t it? M: Yes, and it is really convenient to take a ride-share bike. They are available everywhere.
W: Yes. People can unlock the shared bikes by simply using their smartphones. The bikes are
equipped with GPS and can be left anywhere in public for the next user. They also provide an effective solution to the “last mile” problem.
M: But there is not always positive feedback from customers.
W: What do you mean?
M: There is a rising number of traffic accidents involving children trying out the ride-share bikes
out of curiosity.
W: That’s true. But shared-bike companies like OfO are trying to make some improvements. It
redesigned its bicycles, equipping them with a rear brake box that increases travel safety and stability.
M: There are still other problems, such as illegal parking, deliberate damage and theft.
W: How to maintain them is also a tough question. Supervision should be strengthened and
relevant laws should be issued. Citizen quality should be enhanced and culture of sharing should be cultivated. Anyway, every citizen should also do their part, right?
(Now listen again, please.)
Questions:
17. Why does Linda look so energetic?
18. Which problem with ride-share bikes is not mentioned?
19. Which aspect should be improved according to the conversation?

Directions: Read the following three passages. Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.
（A）
Why do old people dislike new music? As I’ve grown older, I often hear people my age say they just don’t make good music like they used to. Why does this happen? Luckily, psychology can give us some insights into this puzzle. Musical tastes begin to become clear as early as age 13 or 14. By the time we’re in our early 20s, these tastes get locked into place pretty firmly.
In fact, studies have found that by the time we turn 33, most of us have stopped listening to new music. Meanwhile, popular songs released when you’re in your early teens are likely to remain quite popular among your age group for the rest of your life.
There could be a biological explanation for this, as there’s evidence that the brain’s ability to make subtle distinctions between different chords, rhythms, and melodies weakens with age. So to older people, newer, less familiar songs might all “sound the same.”
But there are maybe some simpler reasons for older people’s dislike to newer music. One of the most researched laws of social psychology is something called the “mere exposure effect” , which in essence means that the more we’re exposed to something, the more we tend to like it.
This happens with people we know, the advertisements we see and, the songs we listen to. When you’re in your early teens, you probably spend a fair amount of time listening to music or watching music videos. Your favorite songs and artists become familiar, comforting parts of your routine.
For many people over 30, job and family obligations increase, so there’s less time to spend discovering new music. Instead, many will simply listen to old, familiar favorites from that period
of their lives when they had more free time.
Psychology research has shown that the emotions that we experience as teens seem more intense than those that come later. And we also know that intense emotions are associated with stronger memories and preferences. Both of these might explain why the songs we listen to during this period become so memorable and beloved.
So there’s nothing wrong with your parents because they don’t like your music. Rather it’s all part of the natural order of things.
56. What have studies found about most people by the time they turn 33?
A. They no longer listen to new music.
B. They find all music sounds the same.
C. They can make subtle distinctions about music.
D. They seldom listen to songs released in their teens.
57. Which of the following situations agrees with the “mere exposure effect”?
A. Tom likes the book, so he reads it more times.
B. Andy recites the words repeatedly and he is fed up with them.
C. Mike often listens to the same song and becomes more and more interested in it.
D. Peter goes to school by bike every day, and therefore his riding skills are better and better.
58. What conclusion can we draw according to the psychology research?
A. Teenagers are much more sensitive. B. Teenagers are much more emotional.
C. Teenagers’ preferences are more lasting. D. Teenagers’ emotions are more intense.
59. What is mainly discussed in this passage?
A. Quality issues of new music. B. Older people’s dislike of new music.
C. Older people’s changing musical tastes. D. Insights into the features of good music.

（C）
Is that “empathy”( 移 情 ) or “sympathy” you’re showing? While the two words are often incorrectly used interchangeably, the difference in their emotional impact is important.
Empathy, literally “walk a mile in others’ shoes”, goes beyond sympathy, a simple expression of concern for another person’s misfortune. Empathy requires the ability to recognize the suffering of another person from their point of view and to openly share their emotions, including painful distress. Since it requires shared experiences, people can generally feel empathy only for other people, not for animals. While people may be able to sympathize with a horse, for example, they cannot truly empathize with it.
Sympathy is a feeling and expression of concern for someone, often accompanied by a wish for them to be happier or better off. “Oh dear, I hope the new plan can really work. ” In general, sympathy implies a deeper, more personal, level of concern than pity, a simple expression of sorrow. However, unlike empathy, sympathy does not imply that one’s feelings for another are based on shared experiences or emotions.
Psychologists say that empathy is essential in forming relationships and acting toward others. Since it involves experiencing another person’s point of view — stepping outside one’s self — empathy enables genuinely helping behaviors that come easily and naturally, rather than having to be forced.
Empathetic people work effectively in groups, make more lasting friendships, and are more likely to step in when they see others being mistreated. It is believed that people begin to show empathy in infancy and develop the quality through childhood and adolescence. Despite their level of concern for others, however, most people tend to feel deeper empathy for people similar to themselves compared to people outside their family, community, race, or cultural background.
However, taken to extremes, deep or extended feelings of empathy can actually be harmful to one’s emotional health. Empathy can make people angry — perhaps dangerously so — if they mistakenly perceive that another person is threatening a person they care for.
For years, psychologists have reported cases of too empathetic patients endangering the well-being of themselves and their families by giving away their life savings to random needy individuals. Such too empathetic people who feel they are somehow responsible for the distress of others have developed an empathy-based guilt.
63. What does the phrase “walk a mile in others’ shoes” in Paragraph 2 mean?
A. Put oneself in others’ situation.
B. Walk a long distance in others’ shoes.
C. Accompany others in the long jogging.
D. Walk with others to share their experiences.
64. How do you understand the level of concern according to Paragraph 2 and Paragraph 3?
A. Pity = sympathy. B. Sympathy = empathy.
C. Pity < sympathy. D. Sympathy > empathy.
65. Which of the following statements about empathy is true?
A. Empathy is a feeling that exists between human beings and animals.
B. Empathy is essential to form relationship, so the deeper, the better.
C. Empathy is to just express sadness to other without shared experiences.
D. People are more likely to show empathy to those who have something in common.
66. What is the best title of the passage?
A. Empathy, Good or Bad? B. Two Important Human Feelings.
C. Empathy vs. Sympathy. D. Empathy, A Must in Relationship.
Section C
Directions: Read the following passage. Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box. Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need.
A. The same is true for foreign language.
B. However, there are sound reasons for the concern.
C. Foreign language learning should be given top priority to.
D. Exercise matters deeply for cognitive development for kids.
E. There is no doubt that instrumental training should be on the to-do list.
F. Perhaps, but they all owe current success, in part, to the training in that aspect.
Are extra curriculums really extra?
Former Harvard President Drew Faust recently wrote of students overlooking the benefit of following their interest in art or linguistics. The trend towards employable subjects like math and science is reflected in decisions of college students as well as primary and secondary schools. (67) ____________________ Great work of cognitive neuroscientists (认知神经学家) reveals what we think of as “extras” are central to strengthening our minds.
Take music as an example. A study shows that musical training, particularly instrumental training, produces long lasting changes in motor abilities and brain structure. The earlier a child starts instrumental training, the stronger the connection between the right and left hemispheres (半 球) of the brain. These changes thus affect the ability to listen and communicate as an adult. What is found in musicians is also common among world-class athletes and top-level managers. Is it a coincidence that Roger Federer, Elon Musk and Steve Job, all studied music for years as children? (68) ____________________ Science backs that up. Children who play an instrument 30 minutes a week over the course of a little over a year have more highly developed brains.
(69)____________________ Studying a second language restructures the brain which lasts into adulthood. The cortex (大脑皮层), which has the greatest changes when a second language is learned during childhood, influences thought and consciousness.
How about physical education? New research also reveals children who get aerobic exercise transform their brains due to a protein that is increased during exercise. (70)____________________ Yet 20 percent of U.S. schools put an end to it in favor of increased classroom time.
Concentration, evolved communication skills, and being a good team player are just a few of the benefits research shows extra curriculums have on a developing mind. To me, that list reads as one I might put together for a model employee.

TCM Breaks New Ground
Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), along with Chinese Kungfu and Peking Opera, is one of China’s cultural symbols recognized worldwide. It is precious treasure of Chinese civilization, and it has also made great contributions to world civilization by improving people’s health and promoting social progress.
There used to be a debate in China about whether TCM or Western medicine was better, and arguments can still be heard today. But actually, TCM and Western medicine are two different medical theoretical systems that cannot replace each other. In some aspects such as surgery, Western medicine is better than TCM, but in other areas, such as recovery after surgery and treatment of chronic ( 慢 性 的 ) diseases, TCM is more effective. This is why some Chinese hospitals provide both TCM and Western medicine treatments. A combination of both has been accepted by many Chinese people as the most effective treatment.
Today, promoting and innovating TCM has become a shared opinion in Chinese society. The Chinese government has made policies to support the development and innovation of TCM, with a view to establishing a Chinese healthcare development model paying equal attention to both.
The supportive policies of the Chinese Government will focus on three aspects. The first is the strengthening of TCM services in medical institutions. The second is to apply Internet technology to TCM management, including setting up a database containing TCM electronic medical records and prescriptions ( 处方). The third is to give better play to the advantages of TCM, such as acupuncture (针灸). The function of TCM in disease prevention and recovery will also be enhanced.
As long as TCM keeps its core strengths and respects the rules of development and innovation, it will surely be able to maintain its vitality and bring more benefits to people in China and the world.

I. Listening Comprehension
Section A
Directions: In Section A, you will hear ten short conversations between two speakers. At the end of each conversation, a question will be asked about what was said. The conversations and the questions will be spoken only once. After you hear a conversation and a question about it, read the four possible answers on your paper, and decide which one is the best answer to the question you have heard.
1. M: Sorry to trouble you. But can I borrow a blanket? I feel cold.
W: I think we’ve got one. Could you please wait until the plane takes off?
Q ：What is the probable relationship between the two speakers?
2. W: Have you decided what to give your son for Christmas yet?
M: No, not yet. I know he likes Lego products, but they are always too expensive.
Q: What are they talking about?
3. W: I just received my medical check report, and everything seems OK.
M: Congratulations! Then there is nothing to worry about.
Q: How does the woman probably feel now?
4. W: Do you have the time?
M: Well, my watch says it’s half past three, but it gains five minutes.
Q: What time is it now?
5. M: My dog climbed on the roof last night and could not come down. It was Jack who climbed onto the steep roof and managed to save her.
W: Wow! That took a lot of nerve.
Q: What does the woman think of Jack?
6. W: I’m sick of calling the booking office; the line is always busy.
M: Why don’t you order through the Internet? We are now in a digital age.
Q: What does the man suggest the woman do?
7. M: Wait a minute. I want to have a look at this display in the window.
W: I see some books are on sale. Let’s go inside and see if we can find something on art. Q: Where does the conversation take place?
8. W: The jacket is amazing, but it’s a bit more than I want to spend.
M: Maybe you can get a better price. It can’t hurt to ask.
Q: What does the man suggest the woman do?
9. M: I think I’ll go to a friend’s birthday party tonight instead of working on my papers.
W: Are you kidding? The deadline is around the corner.
Q: What does the woman imply?
10. W: When I’m playing the piano, I don’t worry about anything. How about you?
M: I go to the gym every day. It helps me deal with stress.
Q: What are the two speakers talking about?
Section B
Directions: In Section B, you will hear two short passages and one longer conversation, and you will be asked several questions on each of the passages and the conversation. The passages and the conversation will be read twice, but the questions will be spoken only once. When you hear a question, read the four possible answers on your paper and decide which one would be the best answer to the question you have heard.
Questions 11 through 13 are based on the following passage.
Good evening! Now, I know many of you are excited about the idea of getting paid to travel the world and see the sights. But remember, traveling isn’t all fun and games. It is hard work too. I remember when I was in Egypt to look at the pyramids. Now, of course they are fascinating—they are over 4,000 years old —but remember, Egypt is mostly desert and the temperature is often over forty-five degrees! So, the weather can be a problem.
And several years later, I was traveling down the Yangtze River in China with some photographers, and we constantly had engine trouble with our boat, so we couldn’t steer along the 6,380-kilometer river. Instead, we had to abandon our journey after just 2, 150 kilometers, which was a major disappointment.
The last journey I want to tell you about was the most rewarding. We went to Angel Falls, the tallest waterfall in the world. We backpacked for seventeen days through the jungles of Venezuela to get there. But when they finally came into view, with their breathtaking drop of 807 meters, it was incredible ! So, remember, being a travel writer may sound like an amazing career, and it is certainly rewarding, but you have to be prepared for every possibility !
(Now listen again, please.)
Questions:
11. What forced the speaker to stop his journey down the Yangtze River?
12. What might be the speaker’s career?
13. What does the speaker think of his job?
Questions 14 through 16 are based on the following report.
Today, I would like to talk about the new concept of fitness. What exactly is fitness? How do you know whether you are fit? Under the Old Fitness, this question is answered by taking a few tests and comparing your performance to the “standard” . The New Fitness leaves every individual to arrive at his or her own answer, based on individual needs, personal goals and different lifestyles.
The New Fitness definition is more flexible: you are fit if you can work effectively all at your
normal task; if you have enough energy left at the day’s end to invest in leisure activities; and if you have the strength to deal with an unexpected physical emergency — running a block to catch a bus, for instance, or rearrange all your furniture.
By this definition, a healthy, physically fit accountant would not be in the same shape as a healthy, physically fit athlete. But there’s no need to be.
Fitness can be divided into three basic factors: endurance, strength and flexibility. Of the three, endurance is the factor that is most often regarded as the key indicator of fitness. And the exercises which build endurance have the greatest effect on your overall health. The exercises which can provide you with training effect include jogging, swimming, bicycling, walking, rowing, rope-skipping, hiking, cross-country skiing and vigorous games of baseball, handball and soccer.
(Now listen again, please.)
Questions:
14. What is the new concept of fitness based on?
15. How is the New Fitness compared with the Old Fitness?
16. What is the report mainly about?
Questions 17 through 20 are based on the following conversation.
M: Hi, Linda. You look refreshed and energetic. Do you still practice yoga every day? W: Yes, I do. But riding to work instead of driving is the key.
M: You mean bike-sharing?
W: Yeah. Start-up bikes like OfO and Mobike have brought us a new trend, haven’t it? M: Yes, and it is really convenient to take a ride-share bike. They are available everywhere.
W: Yes. People can unlock the shared bikes by simply using their smartphones. The bikes are
equipped with GPS and can be left anywhere in public for the next user. They also provide an effective solution to the “last mile” problem.
M: But there is not always positive feedback from customers.
W: What do you mean?
M: There is a rising number of traffic accidents involving children trying out the ride-share bikes
out of curiosity.
W: That’s true. But shared-bike companies like OfO are trying to make some improvements. It
redesigned its bicycles, equipping them with a rear brake box that increases travel safety and stability.
M: There are still other problems, such as illegal parking, deliberate damage and theft.
W: How to maintain them is also a tough question. Supervision should be strengthened and
relevant laws should be issued. Citizen quality should be enhanced and culture of sharing should be cultivated. Anyway, every citizen should also do their part, right?
(Now listen again, please.)
Questions:
17. Why does Linda look so energetic?
18. Which problem with ride-share bikes is not mentioned?
19. Which aspect should be improved according to the conversation?
20. What is the conversation mainly about?
(This is the end of listening comprehension.)
