Section B

听力原文: Visitors to Britain are always complaining about English food. But they do not really know what they are talking about because they rarely get a chance to eat it. Most of the restaurants in large towns have foreign owners and serve foreign food. When visitors are invited to eat in an English home, their hosts often feel they must offer them something foreign and exotic. Those of us who do know English food are aware that at its best it can be really very good. On the other hand it is true to say that it’s sometimes terrible. Part of the problem is that we are not really interested in food—we eat to live, we do not live to eat. So we don’t generally spend the necessary time and effort needed to cook really good meals. We prefer food that is simple and easy to cook, or ready-prepared food which only needs heating up before eating. You can find the best English foods in small restaurants in the country away from the large cities, where life is slower and people are not in such a hurry. But, of course, most visitors come to London because they are interested in shopping and sightseeing. They do not come because of the food, so why should they complain about it?Questions 16 to 18 are based on the passage you have just heard.16. What can we learn from the passage?17. What do we learn about the speaker’s viewpoint from the passage?18. What is the conclusion suggested by the speaker?

16.

A.People don’t often eat English food.

B.People don’t like English food.

C.People who travel to Britain eat English food in English home. D.People who travel to Britain don’t know much about English food.

正确答案:D 解析:短文中用转折表述提到But they do not really know what they are talking about because they rarelyget a chance to eat it,it指的是English food,选项D)是对此的同义转述,故为答案。 知识模块:听力

17.

A.The speaker thinks that we live to eat, but not eat to live. B.The speaker doesn’t think that we should eat when living. C.The speaker thinks that we eat to live, but not live to eat. D.The speaker thinks that we eat to live and live to eat.

正确答案:C 解析:选项B)不符合常理,为答案的可能性较小。短文中说话者说we are not really interested in food—we eat to live,we do not live to eat,也就是说,我们为了活着而吃,而不是为了吃而活着,故答案为C)。 知识模块:听力

18.

A.The criticism of English food by visitors is unfair.

B.It is impossible to find good English food in large towns.

C.As well as food people also travel to Britain for shopping and sightseeing. D.If people complain about English food, they will get better food.

正确答案:A

解析:短文末尾,说话者介绍了在乡村小餐厅才能找到最可口的英国菜,但是去大城市的游客多是去购物观光,对美食并没有特别的兴趣,也就是说,说话者认为他们对英国菜的抱怨是不公平的,故答案为A)。 知识模块:听力

听力原文: Do you want to live with a strong sense of peacefulness, happiness, goodness, and self-respect? The collection of happiness actions broadly categorised as “honor” help you create this life of good feelings. Here’s an example to show how honorable actions create happiness. Say a store clerk fails to charge us for an item. If we keep silent, and profit from the clerk’s mistake, we would drive home with a sense of sneaky excitement. Later we might tell our family or friends about our good fortune. On the other hand, if we tell the clerk about the uncharged item, the clerk would be grateful and thank us for our honesty. We would leave the store with a quiet sense of honor that we might never share with another soul. Then, what is it to do with our sense of happiness? In the first case, where we don’t tell the clerk, a couple of things would happen. Deep down inside we would know ourselves as a type of thief. In the process, we would lose some peace of mind and self-respect. We would also demonstrate that we cannot be trusted, since we

advertise our dishonor by telling our family and friends. We damage our own reputations by telling others. In contrast, bringing the error to the clerk’s attention causes different things to happen. Immediately the clerk knows us to be honorable. Upon leaving the store, we feel honorable and our self-respect is increased. Whenever we take honorable action we gain the deep internal rewards of goodness and a sense of nobility. There is a beautiful positive cycle that is created by living a life of honorable actions. Honorable thoughts lead to honorable actions. Honorable actions lead us to a happier existence. And it’s easy to think and act honorably when we’re happy. While the positive cycle can be difficult to start, once it’s started, it’s easy to continue. Keeping on doing good deeds brings us peace of mind, which is important for our happiness.Questions 19 to 22 are based on the passage you have just heard.19. What does the positive action in the example contribute to?20. What does the speaker think about keeping silent about the uncharged item?21. How will we feel if we let the clerk know her mistake?22. Which can be the best title of this passage?

19.

A.Our self-respect.

B.Our financial rewards. C.Our advertising ability. D.Our friendly relationship.

正确答案:A

解析:短文一开始引出话题:快乐的生活;接着说话者用一个事例的正反两面来说明这一主题,其中提到采取正面行为(bringing the error to the clerk’s attention,也就是前面提到的tell the clerk about theuncharged item)所产生的结果:我们的自尊提高(our self-respect is increased),由此可知,在这个事例中,正面的行为会提高我们的自尊,故答案为A)。 知识模块:听力

20.

A.It is equal to lying. B.It is equal to stealing. C.It is equal to cheating. D.It is equal to advertising.

正确答案:B

解析:选项中的It is equal to lying/stealing表明,本题考查对It的看法,听音时注意It才旨代什么。由短文中提到的…We don’t tell the clerk…Deep down inside we would know ourselves as a type of thief可知,说话者认为不把忘了结账的物品告诉店员是一种偷窃的行为,故答案为B)。 知识模块:听力

21.

A.We’ll be very excited. B.We’ll feel unfortunate.

C.We’ll have a sense of honor. D.We’ll feel sorry for the clerk.

正确答案:C

解析:选项中的We’ll feel unfortunate/sorry表明,本题考查我们在某种状况下的感觉。短文中提到,if we tell the clerk about the uncharged item…We would leave the store with a quiet sense of honor…由此可知,如果告诉收款员她的错误,我们就会有荣誉感(sense of honor),下面提到的…bringing the error to the clerk’sattention…We feel honorable也印证了这一点,故答案为C)。 知识模块:听力

22.

A.How to Live Truthfully B.Importance of Peacefulness

C.Ways of Gaining Self-respect Actions D.Happiness through Honorable Actions

正确答案:D

解析:选项中的实词均大写表明,本题考查短文标题。短文开头以一个设问引出话题:Do you want tolive with a strong sense of peacefulness,happiness,goodness,and self-respect?接下来举例说明荣誉行为如何带来幸福感(how honorable actions create happiness),最后指出荣誉行为让我们有更幸福的存在感(Honorablethoughts lead to honorable actions.Honorable actions lead us to a happier existence),由此可知,短文主要通过荣誉行为(Honorable Actions)来说明获得幸福感(Happiness)这一道理,故答案为D)。 知识模块:听力

听力原文: We’ve been looking at fear from a biological perspective, and someone asked whether the tendency to be fearful is genetic. Well, some studies done with mice indicate that mammals do inherit fearfulness to some degree. In one study, for instance, a group of mice was placed in a brightly-lit open box with no hiding places. Some of the mice wandered around the box and didn’t appear to be bothered of being so exposed. But other mice didn’t move. They stayed up against one wall, which indicated that they were afraid. Well, when fearful mice, or you might say anxious mice like the ones who stayed in one place, when mice like these were bred with one another repeatedly, after about 12 generations or so, then all of the offspring showed similar signs of fearfulness. And even when a new-born mouse from this generation was raised by a mother and with other mice who were not fearful, that mouse still tended to be fearful as an adult. Now why is this? Well, it’s thought that specific genes in an animal’s body have an influence on anxious behaviour. These are genes that are associated with particular nerve-cell receptors in the brain. And the degree of overall fearfulness in the mammal seems to depend in large part on the presence or absence of these nerve-cell receptors. And this appears to apply to humans as well by the way. But while a tendency towards anxiety and fear may well be an inherited trait, the specific form that the fear takes has more to do with the individual’s environment. So a particular fear, like the fear of snakes or the fear of spiders, say, is not genetic, but the overall tendency to have fearful responses is.Questions 23 to 25 are based on the passage you have just heard.23. What is the

talk mainly about?24. How did some of the mice in the study demonstrate that they were afraid?25. Why does the professor mention snakes and spiders?

23.

A.How animals react to frightening situations. B.Why mice are particularly fearful animals. C.Whether fearfulness is a genetic trait.

D.Why certain animals are feared by humans.

正确答案:C 解析:选项概括性强表明,本题可能考查短文主旨。由短文中的We’ve been looking at fear…thatmammals do inherit fearfulness to some degree可知,本文主要讨论的是:Whether fearfulness is a genetic trait,故答案为C)。 知识模块:听力

24.

A.They fought with the other mice. B.They stayed close to their mothers. C.They ran back and forth constantly. D.They remained close to one wall.

正确答案:D

解析:选项A)中的other mice表明,they可能指的是mice,本题可能考查老鼠的行为活动。由短文在描述有关老鼠的实验时提到的They stayed up against one wall,which indicated that they were afraid可知,老鼠紧挨着墙壁的动作显示了它们的恐惧,remained close to one wall与stayed up against one wall同义,故答案为D)。 知识模块:听力

25.

A.To show the relationship between fearfulness and environment. B.To give examples of animals that aren’t fearful.

C.To compare fear in mammals to fear in other animals. D.To identify the nerves that control fear in certain animals.

正确答案:A

解析:选项均以“To+do”开头,其中的show the relationship,give examples和compare表明,本题可能考查举例子的目的。由短文中提到的…the fear…has more to do with…environment.So…fear…like the fear ofsnakes or the fear of spiders…可知,教授提到蛇和蜘蛛是为了举例说明恐惧与环境之间的关系,故答案为A)。 知识模块:听力
