Section B

听力原文： Almost 20,000 whales have been slaughtered since a ban on commercial whaling was introduced in 1986 and the death toll is rising each year. Norway and Japan killed over 1,000 whales in 1999 and they plan to kill even more. The International Whaling Commission(IWC)has failed to stop the killing and a compromise deal may relax the ban allowing coastal whaling-—condemning many thousands more whales to a cruel death. In 1994, the IWC created a whale sanctuary in Antarctic waters and many believed the battle to save the whales had been won. But Japan has ignored the sanctuary and along with Norway continues to defy the whaling ban. As the environmental concerns increase, whaling is no longer the issue as it was or deserves to be. With little public awareness of the increasing whale slaughter, there has been no pressure to stop it. Consequently, the political will to confront the whalers and enforce the whaling ban has slipped away. Commercial whaling has devastated whale populations worldwide, pushing the entire species to the brink of extinction. There is still great scientific uncertainty about the size and status of remaining whale populations. Whales are facing increasing threats to their survival including increasing toxic pollution, massive over-fishing, entanglement in fishing nets, boat

collisions, habitat loss, ozone depletion and climate change. They need to be protected, not hunted. Commercial whaling is appallingly cruel and unnecessary. It is morally indefensible. It should be condemned to history, to a time when sadly we knew no better! 9. What does the speaker say about the death toll of whales after 1986?10. How does the speaker describe scientific knowledge of whale populations?11. What is the speaker’s attitude towards whaling?

9．

A．It is lessening. B．It is growing. C．It hasn’t changed. D．It is slowly changing.

正确答案：B

解析：短文开头介绍，在1986年出台了禁止商业捕鲸的之后，鲸鱼的死亡数字每年都呈上升趋势，故选B。 知识模块：听力

10．

A．The scientists know it is definitely getting smaller. B．The scientists know it is near extinct. C．The scientists still do not know.

D．The scientists think it is rebounding slightly.

正确答案：C

解析：短文谈到，对于现在鲸鱼的数量和情况如何，在科学上还有很多未知之数，也就是说科学家也不知道情况到底如何，故选C。 知识模块：听力

11．

A．All whaling is bad.

B．Commercial whaling is immoral.

C．Whaling should be limited only for food. D．The IWC should be replaced.

正确答案：B

解析：原文说，商业捕鲸是残忍而且不必要的，在道德上也是站不住脚的，故选B。A项为强干扰项，其实只要看到该选项中表示绝对的单词All就可以排除干扰。 知识模块：听力

听力原文： In the United States many have been told that anyone can become rich and successful if he works hard and has some good luck. When one becomes rich he wants people to know it. And even if he does not become very rich, he still wants people to think that he is. That’s what “Keeping up with the Joneses” is about. The expression was first used in 1913 by a young American named Arthur Momand. Momand looked around him and noticed that many people do things just to keep up with their neighbors: they try to look as rich and as successful as their

neighbors. He saw the funny side of it and started to write a series of short stories. He called it “Keeping up with the Joneses”, because “Jones” is a very common name in the United States. “Keeping up with the Joneses” came to mean keeping up with people around you. Momand’s series appeared in different newspapers across the country for over 32 years. People never seem to get tired of keeping up with the Joneses. That is one reason why they read the “right” books, go to the “right” universities and eat at the “right” restaurants. Every city has an area where people want to live because others will think better of them if they do. And there are “Joneses” in every city of the world. But one must get tired of trying to keep up with the Joneses, because no matter what one does, Mr. Jones always seems to be ahead. 12. According to the speaker, what impression do many Americans want to leave on others?13. What does the expression “Keeping up with the Joneses” mean?14. How did the expression “Keeping up with the Joneses” get popular?15. What does the speaker think of the practice of “Keeping up with the Joneses”?

12．

A．They’re honest and do only the just things. B．They’re very well-off and have achieved a lot. C．They work hard and deserve great reward.

D．They keep pace with the economic development.

正确答案：B

解析：短文说，当人们富有了他们希望别人知道，甚至并不很富有时也希望别人认为他们富有，所以B正确。B项中的well-off对应开头重复了3遍的rich，achieve a lot对应录音中的successful，同义替换是答案。 知识模块：听力

13．

A．Trying to keep pace with your next-door neighbors. B．Trying to keep in contact with your neighbors. C．Trying to get along well with people around you. D．Trying to look as wealthy as people around you.

正确答案：D 解析：选项为努力达到某种目的，听到录音中的try to时要注意后面的动词。短文说，这个习语的意思是“和左邻右舍比排场，比阔气”。所以D正确。选项中的“try”就是最好的提示语，录音中姆后面就是答案所在。 知识模块：听力

14．

A．Its creator published short stories in newspapers for years. B．It spread across the country with the common name. C．Many people used it when they praised their neighbors. D．Most children were amused when they heard the saying.

正确答案：A

解析：根据选项可预测题目问某事是如何广泛传播的。短文说，Momand的

系列短篇小说在全美各家报纸上连载，长达32年之久。可见这个习语就是这样广为流传的，所以A正确。只有A中的关键词short stories in newspapers是录音提到的，听到什么选什么。 知识模块：听力

15．

A．It will inspire people to keep striving. B．It will boost the social economy.

C．It will exhaust and disappoint people. D．It will enhance interpersonal relationship.

正确答案：C

解析：根据选项可预测题目问某事的影响。短文说，但是人们一定会对和邻居比阔气感到厌烦的，所以C正确。三个选项表达的是正面影响，只有C是负面的，而录音末尾中的tired与C中的exhaust同义。 知识模块：听力

Section C

听力原文： Mobility in developing world cities is a very peculiar challenge, because different from health or education or housing, it tends to get worse as societies become richer. Clearly, an unsustainable model. Mobility, as most other developing country problems, more than a matter of money or technology, is a matter of equality. The great inequality in developing countries makes it difficult to see, for example, that in terms of transport, an advanced city is not one where even the poor use cars, but rather one where even the rich use public transport There is a conflict for space between those with cars and those without them. We fought not just for space for buses, but we fought for space for people, and that was even more difficult. Cities are human habitats, and we humans are pedestrians. Just as fish need to swim or birds need to fly or deer need to run, we need to walk. I would like to focus on the really enormous conflict between pedestrians and cars in developing country cities. In terms of transport infrastructure, what really makes a difference between advanced and backward cities is not highways or subways but quality sidewalks. I will propose to you a couple of ingredients which I think would make cities much better, and it would be very simple to implement them in the new cities which are only being created. Hundreds of kilometers of greenways criss-crossing cities in all directions. People will walk out of homes into safe spaces. They could go for dozens of kilometers safely in wonderful greenways, sort of bicycle highways. And the second ingredient, which would solve mobility, that very difficult challenge in developing countries, in a very low-cost and simple way, would be to have hundreds of kilometers of streets only for buses, bicycles and pedestrians. This would be, again, a very low-cost solution if implemented from the start, low cost, pleasant transit with natural sunlight. But unfortunately, reality is not as good as my dreams. All developing country cities have a large problem of slums, which means illegal housing. And of course it’s very difficult to have mass transit or to use bicycles in such environments. But even legal housing developments have also been located in the

wrong places, very far from the city centers where it’s impossible to provide low-cost, high-frequency public transport. As a Latin American, I would recommend, respectfully, passionately, to Asian and African countries which are yet to urbanize, that governments should acquire all land around cities. In this way, their cities could grow in the right places with the right spaces, with the parks, with the greenways, with the busways. 16. What do we learn about the problem of mobility in developing countries?17. What is the focus of this speech?18. What is the low-cost solution for mobility challenge in developing countries?19. What is the speaker’s suggestion to Asian and African countries yet to urbanize?

16．

A．It is similar to housing problem.

B．It gets better when one city develops. C．It is caused by money or technology. D．It relates to a matter of equality.

正确答案：D

解析：录音提到，流动性是许多发展中国家遇到的问题，不仅仅是钱或科技的问题，更是有关平等的问题(a matter of equality)，D项复现录音关键词，为正确答案。主讲人提到，流动性与健康、教育和住房问题不同，社会发展程度与流动性成反比，故A项“与住房问题类似”和B项“随着城市发展变得更好”与录音相反。C项“由金钱或科技引起”，录音没有提及产生流动性问题的原因是钱或科技。 知识模块：听力

17．

A．The challenges of health and education in the growing cities. B．The conflict between cars and walkers in developing countries. C．The development of highways and subways of the cities. D．The enormous gap between advanced and backward cities.

正确答案：B 解析：主讲人提到，他关注的是发展中国家城市行人与车辆的剧烈矛盾冲突，B项与此一致，是正确选项。讲座开头虽然将城市“健康和教育问题”与人车矛盾作类比，但并不是主旨，故排除A项。在交通基础设施的内容中，主讲人认为发达和欠发达城市之间的真正差别不在于高速公路，而在于人行道的质量，故C项“高速公路和地铁的发展”恰好与讲座内容相反。D项“发达城市与不发达城市的巨大鸿沟”过于宽泛，而且这并不是讲座的主题，故排除。 知识模块：听力

18．

A．Use of bicycle among a large population. B．Development of transport infrastructure. C．Greenways crossing a city in all directions. D．Streets for public transport and walkers only.

正确答案：D

解析：据主讲人所说，解决流动性问题的低成本且简单的方案(low-cost and simple way)是在城市建造数百公里的公交、自行车及行人专用道，D项中的public transport概括了录音中的buses和bicycles，而walkers则与pedestrians对应，故D项是正确答案。A项“大量人口使用自行车”未在讲座中提到。主讲人提到transport infrastructure包括高速公路、地铁和人行道，所以B项“发展交通基础设施”外延过大。C项“纵横交错的绿道”是第一个建议，本题问的low-cost solution与第二个建议有关，故排除C项。 知识模块：听力

19．

A．Providing public transport. B．Solving the problem of slums.

C．Nationalizing all land around cities. D．Building legal housing developments.

正确答案：C 解析：主讲人对处于城市化进程中的亚非城市衷心地建议：应购置城市周围的所有土地(acquire all land around cities)，这样一来才能更好地规划新城市，购置了土地即把土地国有化，C项中的Nationalizing是对录音中governments should acquire的同义概括，故C项为正确答案。根据录音，主讲人所倡议的公共交通成本低而密集，注重平等性，A项“提供公共交通”过于宽泛。B项“解决贫民区问题”，虽然讲座有提到贫民区是发展中国家城市的一大问题，但这不是主讲人提出的建议。D项“开发合法的房屋”未在录音中提及。 知识模块：听力

听力原文： Now you’ve only been there this one semester so this is your first experience with students undergoing the pressure of finals, right? I mean I was an undergraduate for four years in New York University(NYU)and I went through finals for 8 terms, 9 counting this one. NYU has a high pressure academic environment. That’s why I first started this program. When I was at NYU, my first exposure to the dogs, being brought to help relieve the pressure of finals, was in those of my sophomore or junior year and our building for a stress day. They had just an hour a week you could have a puppy and it was so simple and easy and unique to put on and it drew a lot of attention. It worked truly well. So when I was hired here, I really wanted to expand the program, do it on a much larger scale. How did it work? The way it actually works is we worked with a therapy dog organization called Dog-Bones. So what we do is actually in October, you know, at the height of mid-terms of task. We had both 60 dogs at a time coming in, a total of maybe 12-16 people over a 2-day-period. Some students like to pat the dogs and stay right up on them and especially ones that have dogs at their home or dog people, and someone just sit around and talk with each other and take pictures and do whatever they want to do, but even those people that aren’t really patting the dogs are still having fun. It’s still part of a really fun environment. I absolutely believe it is effective for anything. It’s why they do it in hospitals and in elementary schools. In general, having

any kind of break from studying during really stressful periods like midterms and finals is necessary. Taking a half hour out of that, walking around, coming downstairs, completely changing your mindset into something different is really effective in combating some of that stress. Dogs were really really good. They were very good and they loved their bellies rubbed and they loved getting treats from the kids. Or maybe we can persuade Congress to allow some dogs on the Florida House, or the Senate and settle those people down. 20. What was the purpose of the stress day of New York University?21. What do students do in the program?22. What method is effective in combating study stress?

20．

A．To help students focus on studying. B．To relieve students from exam pressure. C．To gather students to analyze stress. D．To share experience with sophomores.

正确答案：B 解析：讲座提到，主讲人第一接触狗，是在宿舍楼举行的stress day(解压日)，借助狗医生帮助缓解期末考试的压力(helped relieve the pressure of finals)，B项“缓解学生的考试压力”与此一致。stress day是为了缓解考试压力，并没有提到“让学生集中注意力去学习”，A项不正确。C项错在“分析”(analyze)一词，录音是说“缓解压力”，而非“分析压力”。D项“与二年级学生分享经验”只是利用sophomore一词制造干扰，该项内容并未在录音中提到。 知识模块：听力

21．

A．They prepare for finals.

B．They take care of stray dogs. C．They hang out with dogs. D．They have fun with friends.

正确答案：C

解析：据主讲人介绍，活动中学生们要么抚摸狗医生，要么聚在一起聊天、拍照或做自己喜欢做的事情，享受活动的乐趣，C项“与狗待在一起”概括了活动的重点，是正确选项。这个活动是让学生释放考试压力，而不是A项所说的“让学生备考”。B项的take care of有误，活动中学生只和狗一起玩耍，并非照顾狗，而且录音中也没有说这些狗是流浪狗，故排除B项。活动中学生们不仅仅是和朋友聚会，活动的重点是借小狗缓解压力，D项表述不准确。 知识模块：听力

22．

A．Switching mindset into other things. B．Keeping pet dogs on campus. C．Climbing stairs in the building. D．Enjoying mid-terms and finals.

正确答案：A

解析：主讲人在最后重申狗医生的效果，并概括其他一些减压建议，如抽出半小时不去想考试、散散步、下宿舍楼、完全将你的思绪转到其他东西上(completely changing your mindset into something different)，A项与最后一条相符，其中switching与changing同义。B项的干扰在于混淆了狗医生和宠物狗的作用。C项“在宿舍楼内爬楼梯”是利用coming downstairs作干扰，录音说要“下(宿舍)楼”目的是暂时脱离考试，而不是真的是要去爬楼梯。D项“享受期中和期末考试”并非主讲人提出的建议，故排除。 知识模块：听力

听力原文： Big data is no longer the hot buzzword it was a few years ago that people strained their brains to understand. It’s now entered the mainstream and can be viewed as an extension of traditional data analysis. “Big data and traditional analytics are merging.” said Tom Davenport, an independent senior advisor to Deloitte. “It’s getting harder and harder to distinguish the two.” The term “big data” generally refers to the idea of analyzing enormous volumes of information to make better business decisions and improve the performance of a company’s internal computer systems. Additionally, all that information doesn’t have to be stored in one place. It can be scattered across multiple databases and systems. It was just a few years ago that executives struggled to understand the term and had trouble finding employees who specialized in the types of technology used to analyze tons of information. Now, however, universities offer specialized master’s degrees for advanced data analytics and companies are creating their own in-house programs to train talent in data science. Networking giant Cisco is an example of a company that created an internal data science training program that over 200 employees have gone through. Because of media reports, consulting services, and analysts talking up “big data,” people now generally understand what big data means and how they can apply it to their own business. Google searches for the term “big data” in 2010 were high, but they have since declined. Davenport explained that’s because people now grasp the term and no longer need to look up what it means. “Frankly, I think there’s less of a desire to read about this stuff, and more of a desire to do it,” said Davenport. Now, the new hot topic is cognitive computing, which generally refers to computer systems built to simulate human thinking and reasoning using artificial intelligence techniques like machine-learning programs. Cognitive computing systems can recognize speech, identify objects in pictures, and even learn to adapt to dangerous road conditions if embedded within a self-driving car, for example. If companies are able to use these advanced data analyzing techniques to solve traditional business problems, such as using IBM Watson to improve water use on farms, cognitive computing might eventually be integrated with how people view traditional data analytics. 23. What is the relation between big data and traditional analytics according to Tom Davenport?24. What does the speaker say about the networking giant Cisco?25. What can cognitive computing systems do?

23．

A．It is hard to separate big data from traditional analytics. B．Big data is more popular than traditional analytics now.

C．People try to improve big data and traditional analytics. D．Big data replaced traditional analytics as the mainstream.

正确答案：A

解析：选项均提到大数据(big data)与传统分析学(traditional analytics)，推断本题询问两者的关系。Tom Davenport指出，大数据与传统分析学正在融合(merging)，越来越难将两者区分开来，A项“两者不可分”是正确选项。录音开头只提到大数据只是几年前的大热词汇，不能由此得出B项“大数据比传统分析学受欢迎”的结论。Tom Davenport只提到两者的融合，没有“改善”之意，故排除C项。录音提到大数据正成为主流，但不是D项所说的“取代传统分析学”。 知识模块：听力

24．

A．It works with universities to offer master’s degrees on data analytics. B．It creates an internal program to train talent in data science. C．It sends 200 employees to learn data science in university.

D．It declines because of failure to apply big data to their business.

正确答案：B

解析：主讲人在介绍big data的普及时，提到两个现象可表明这一点：大学开设数据分析的研究生课程；企业开展公司内部的数据分析培训(creating．．．in-house programs to train talent in data science)。互联网巨头思科作为第二个现象的例子。该公司开展企业内部的数据学培训计划(created an internal data science training program)，已有200名员工完成培训，故B项正确。思科公司是自主进行内部培训，并没有与大学合作，故A项“与大学合作开设数据分析的硕士学位”错误。C项错在“送到大学学习”，200名员工是在公司内部培训，故排除C项。D项“公司衰落是因为没将大数据应用到业务中”没有在录音中提到。 知识模块：听力

25．

A．Generate different speeches. B．Identify objects in pictures. C．Improve road conditions. D．Reproduce human brains.

正确答案：B

解析：录音提到，认知计算机系统可以识别照片上的物体(identify objects in pictures)，B项与此表述一致，为正确答案。认知计算机还可以识别话语(recognize speech)，而不是A项“生成不同的话语”。在自驾汽车中植入该系统，可以自动适应危险路况(adapt to dangerous road conditions)，C项“改善路况”错误。认知计算机可模拟人类思维，但不能“制造人类大脑”，D项错误。 知识模块：听力
