Paage Three

Questions 18 to 20 are based on the paage you have just heard.Script:

Parents who have more than two children should be charged a lifelong climate change tax to offset the effect of their extra greenhouse gas emiions, an Australian medical expert has proposed.They should pay 5,000 dollars(4,400 US dollars)a head for each extra child and up to 800 dollars every year thereafter, according to the plan published in the Medical Journal of Australia.In contrast, contraceptives and sterilization procedures would be eligible for carbon credits, suggested Profeor Barry Walters at the King Edward Memorial Hospital in Perth.“Every family choosing to have more than a defined number of children should be charged a carbon tax that would fund the planting of enough trees to offset the carbon cost generated by a new human being,” he wrote.Walters made his proposal in a letter in which he criticized the government's payment of a 4,000-dollar “baby bonus” in a bid to boost the birth rate in this sparsely populated country of 21 million people.Paying parents extra for every baby fuelled more emiions and contributed to global warming, he said, adding that the bonus should be replaced with a “baby levy” in line with the “polluter pays” principle.And Profeor Garry Egger, director of the New South Wales Centre for Health Promotion and Research, agreed.“Population remains crucial to all environmental considerations,” he said.“The debate(around population control)needs to be reopened as part of a second ecological revolution.”

recurrent, are nothing but lawful expreions of chance, a creation ― not of the divine or mystical ― but of simply that which is poible.Ignorance of natural law, they argue, causes us to fall prey to superstitious thinking, inventing supernatural causes where none exist.In fact, say these statistical law-abiding rationalists, the occasional manifestation of the rare and improbable in daily life is not only permiible, but inevitable.Consider this: from a well-shuffled deck of fifty-two playing cards, the mathematical odds of dealing a hand of thirteen specified cards are about 635,000,000,000 to one.(This means that, in dealing the hand, there exist as many as 635,000,000,000 different hands that may poibly appear.)What statisticians tell us, though, is that these billions of hands are all equally likely to occur, and that one of them is absolutely certain to occur each time the hand is dealt.Thus, any hand that is dealt, including the most rare and improbable hand is, in terms of probability, merely one of a number of equally likely events, one of which was bound to happen.正确答案： terminals

Three months later, the boy's father returned.The teacher arranged a boxing match between the child and an experienced boxer.Each time the fighter struck the boy, he fell down, but at once the boy stood up;and each time a punch knocked him down again, then the boy stood up again.Several times later, the teacher asked, ”What do you think of your child?“

”What a shame!“ the boy's father said, ”I never thought he would be so easily knocked down.I needn't have him left here any longer.“

”I'm sorry that's all you see.Don't you see that each time he falls down, he stands up again instead of crying? That's the kind of courage you wanted him to have.“

Welcome to This Is Our Everyday Hero.I'm Barbara Klein.Every society has its heroes.This week on our program, we present several stories of heroism in action.We start in New York City earlier this month ― January fourth, to be exact.Two friends, Julio Gonzalez and Pedro Nevarez, were standing on the street talking.Suddenly, people in a nearby apartment building screamed for help.A three-year-old boy was hanging from the steps of the fire escape outside the building.Timothy Addo was twelve meters above the ground, and scared.The men saw that he was going to fall.The two mechanics ran acro the street and positioned themselves to catch him.They got there just in time.Timothy lost his hold and dropped.His feet hit Mister Nevarez and pushed him over onto the sidewalk.But the little boy landed in the arms of Mister Gonzalez, who also fell.Timothy was shaken by the experience, but he was safe.Experts in human behavior tell us that some situations bring out the best in people.But something made this event all the more newsworthy.Just two days earlier, New York City had another accidental hero.15.A)He was going to fall.B)He was hanging from the fire escape outside the building.C)He was on the roof of the building.D)He was hanging from the window.Script: Where was the three-year-old boy when the two mechanics saw him?

Paage Three

Questions 18 to 20 are based on the paage you have just heard.Script:

A teenage boy named Xue Xiao got nationwide attention in China last year following the Sichuan earthquake.His claim to fame was simply that his first words after being pulled from the ruins 80 hours after the quake was over were: ”I want a Coke, with ice.“

Xue's courage and perseverance held many people in awe.So he was admitted by Shanghai University of Finance and Economics without having to take any exams.An article in Oriental Morning Post covered the boy's latest development in school and reported that he has to study English very hard to keep up with his peers at the university.The writer says he is surprised by the school's decision and asks if a student's legendary experience could be a reason for the university to enroll the student without exam scores.It is reasonable to reward people who made outstanding contributions to the earthquake relief efforts, but the boy's involvement is inadequate to be considered a contribution, the article supposed.Indeed, at a time when the country needed optimism to boost national morale, Xue Xiao touched people with his ”courage and humor,“ the writer said.But the university's explanation that ”Xue's spirit of rousing himself in the earthquake tallies with the school's motto“ is really far-fetched, according to the article.18.A)For his brave action in saving other children.B)For his naughty behavior in school.C)For his optimistic spirit, perseverance and courage.D)For his earthquake diary.Script: What was Xue Xiao famous for?

正确答案： C

正确答案： B

20.A)The reward received by the boy is reasonable.B)The boy's involvement is not a contribution and therefore the reward is not appropriate.C)The boy needs more attention from the public.D)The boy should be encouraged.Script: What is the article's comment on Xue's story in Oriental Morning Post?

正确答案： B

Section C

Script:

Courage is not only found in the heat of war or the mighty works of brave men and women.Courage is the mother taking care of her sick child in the early morning hours.Courage is the father who shows up on time everyday at a boring, low-paying, dead-end job to

feed and clothe his family.Courage comes in many forms, not only from thoughts and deeds of greatne, but in the routine, everyday art of living.When life gets you down, when it seems that your world is at an end, take courage and go the next step.You will be amazed at the power and strength you have inside.Just gather up enough courage to take you through this day.You only have to live one day at a time.You do not have to deal with all your troubles at one time.Like the Scotsman said, ”The troubles of tomorrow must wait until this day is done.“

Paage Two

Questions 15 to 17 are based on the paage you have just heard.Script:

NEW YORK ― A happy marriage is good for your blood preure, but a streed one can be worse than being single, a preliminary study suggests.That second finding is a surprise because prior studies have shown that married people tend to be healthier than singles, said researcher Julianne Holt-Lunstad.It would take further study to sort out what the results mean for long-term health, said Holt-Lunstad, an aistant psychology profeor at Brigham Young University.Her study was reported online Thursday by the Annals of Behavioral Medicine.The study involved 204 married people and 99 single adults.Most were white, and it's not clear whether the same results would apply to other ethnic groups, Holt-Lunstad said.Study volunteers wore devices that recorded their blood preure at random times over 24 hours.Married participants also filled out questionnaires about their marriage.Analysis found that the more marital satisfaction and adjustment spouses reported, the lower their average blood preure was over the 24 hours and during the daytime.But spouses who scored low in marital satisfaction had higher average blood preure than single people did.During the daytime, their average was about five points higher, entering a range that's considered a warning sign.(That result is for the top number in a blood preure reading).”I think this study is worth some attention,“ said Karen Matthews, a profeor of psychology at the University of Pittsburgh.She studies heart disease and high blood preure but didn't participate in the new work.Few studies of the risk for high blood preure have looked at marital quality rather than just marital status, she said.It makes sense that marital quality is more important than just being married when it comes to affecting blood preure, said Dr.Brian Baker, an aociate profeor of psychiatry at the University of Toronto.15.A)A streed marriage can be harmful to one's blood preure.B)A streed marriage can cause back problems.C)A streed marriage may lead to a worse relationship.D)A streed marriage may result in divorce.Script: What does the study say about a streed marriage?

Paage Three

Questions 18 to 20 are based on the paage you have just heard.Script:

Having been married for more than 40 years, I can attest to the truth of the following statement: to excel in the art of domestic argument, one must master the art of losing.Modern psychologists are taken with the ”win-win“ solution.But in marriage, succe resides more in ”lose-lose“ solutions.Out of these, both parties can win.For in the love configuration, losing gives a gift that always returns.One day shortly after my wife and I were married, we set about picking new living-room wallpaper from a book of samples.My taste and hers were at odds.”I like this one,“ she said.”That looks like a section of a diseased liver.“

”How can you say that? This is a claical pattern that goes all the way back to the Venetian.“

”The Venetian were blind.They named blinds after them, remember? I like this one.“

”I wouldn't hang that in hell if I were the devil.“

As the argument went on, my wife suddenly slammed the book shut.”There are over two hundred samples in this book,“ she declared.”I say we spend our energy finding one

that suits us both, instead of arguing about the ones we don't like.“

And that's how we settled it.Eventually we found a pattern we both liked.The ”wallpaper book“ became our symbol for settling the many iues that arise in marriage.”Well,“ she'd say when we couldn't agree on furniture or a place to vacation, ”there are plenty of samples in the wallpaper book.“

The iues that people argue over most in marriage, such as how to spend money, often aren't the real ones.The key iue is: who is going to be in control? When I was younger, my need to control arose out of fear, a lack of trust, insecurity.The day I finally realized I didn't need to control my wife that, indeed, I ought not control her, that I couldn't control her, and that if I tried to, I would destroy our marriage was the day our marriage began.18.A)Over 14 years.B)Around 14 years.C)Over 40 years

D)Over 50 years.Script: How many years has the speaker been married?

正确答案： C

19.A)To illustrate his point of win-win approach.B)To illustrate the importance of ”lose-lose“ solution.C)To indicate that he loves his wife.D)To explain the vitality of respect.Script: Why does the speaker give the example of their choosing the living room wall-paper?

正确答案： B

20.A)It is mainly because of money.B)It is largely because of the different opinions.C)It is because of personal tastes.D)It is because of the intention to control.Script: According to the speaker, what is the reason of a quarrel or an argument in marriage?

Questions 12 to 14 are based on the paage you have just heard.Script:

For most of us, owing thousands of dollars in student loans, all while dealing with crushing credit card debt, probably sounds like a nightmare.But for people in their early-to mid-20s, all that debt actually seems to boost their self-esteem — poibly because they consider that debt an investment in their future.So says a study in the journal Social Science Research.Researchers analyzed ongoing national survey data on 3,000 young Americans.The questions covered student loans and credit card debt, as well as some designed to measure the respondents' self-esteem and sense of control over their lives.Even after accounting for the fact that more self-confident teens might be willing to take out more loans in college, the researchers found that the more debt respondents had, the more empowered they felt.Especially young adults from low-income families, who might have been afforded opportunities beyond their means.But the honeymoon appears to end around age 28 — right around the time when college grads have been working a few years and they realize their salary expectations may have been just a bit too high.Oh, and when the bills for those student loans start showing up.12.A)They think it is a nightmare.B)They do not want to have student loans.C)They think the debt seems to boost their self-esteem.D)They are afraid of paying the debts.Script: According to the speaker, what do young people think of student loans?
