Section A
News Report One
Six people had to move away from their home to another place after a fire broke out in a building on Main Street Saturday,officials said. Firefighters responded to the three-story building shortly after 1 p.m. for a reported structure fire,according to Norwalk Deputy Fire Chief Adam Markowitz.
Markowitz said crews encountered heavy smoke coming from the second floor when they arrived. A team of about 25 firefighters then spent about 25 minutes extinguishing the flames.Officials described the structure as a mixed-use building that features commercial businesses on the first floor and residential on the second and third floors.
Town records list four apartments in the building. Due to smoke and heat damage,the four apartments were declared uninhabitable, and the six residents had to move to another place,officials said.No injuries were reported in connection with the fire.The Norwalk Fire Marshal is investigating the cause and origin of the fire.
1.Why did the six residents have to find another place to stay?
2.What does the news report say the Norwalk Fire Marshal is doing?
News Report Two
A new study has cast doubt on historic research suggesting that the season or month of someone's birth is associated with an increased risk of certain mental health conditions.The study looks at symptoms of anxiety and depression among more than 70,000 older adults in Europe.A number of past studies have found the link between season of birth and mental health diagnoses.
Researchers have suggested that such links could arise from various things.These include nutrient intake, sun exposure, climate, and disease exposure varying across the course of the year.However,evidence has been mixed. More recent studies have suggested that factors such as social class or economic background have more to do with these diagnoses than month of birth.
Overall,the new study found no significant relationship between participants'month of birth and symptoms ofdepression or anxiety.There was some variability in some countries.In Poland,depressive symptoms fluctuated a little depending on birth month. In the Czech Republic, the same was true of anxiety symptoms. But on the whole, there was no systematic pattern.
3.What have a number of past studies found about season of birth?
4.What did the new study find about the relationship between participants' month of birth and symptoms of depression?
News Report Three
Genetic researchers in China have made a cl one of a star police dog.The clone was born in a laboratory in Beijing in December.Tests show that the clone and her mother are almost identical genetically.The mother dog helped solve multiple murders and many other crimes.The clone has already performed better than traditionally bred dogs on several tests.
If the clone continues to perform as well as expected, it could mean a huge reduction in the training time forpolice dogs,which usually takes about five years. The ultimate goal of scientists is to produce clones of talented police dogs that can be trained in months instead of years.However, this goal is not yet possible due to the current costs of the technology.
This is not the first time a clone has been made of a star police dog.In South Korea,six clones began working with the police in 2008.
5.What do the researchers’tests show about the cloned dog?
6.What is the scientists'purpose in cloning police dogs?
7.Why does the news report say the scientists'goal is not yet possible?
Section B
Conversation One
W: Tom, did you see the article online about the new TV series based on the book The Three Body Problem?
M: A colleague mentioned the book, but I've been so busy writing my thesis that I haven't been able to read for pleasure in months.
W: Well, sounds like if you're going to read anything for fun, this is the book. It's written by a Chinese science fiction writer.I can't remember his name, but he's written three books in all, and The Three Body Problem is the first in the series. I don't want to say too much and spoil it for you, but it's definitely got some amazing technological and sociological concepts in it.
M: It does sound like it would suit my taste, but if they are making a TV series based on it now, I don't know if I should read the book or watch the show first.
W: I think it's better to read the book first. It's rare for the show or movie to be better than the book. And then, you just end up ruining the book for yourself, if the show isn't very good.
M: When is the show supposed to start? I'm a bit overwhelmed with the amount of data I still need to co llect to finish my thesis. But I still need to relax sometimes.
W: I can't remember exactly. It's pretty soon, and it's going to be quite long. There are 24 episodes.Well, maybe you could download an electronic copy of the book and try to read it before the show starts.
M: That's a good idea. And then, maybe we can watch the series together. Thanks for the tip, Alice.
W: No problem.
8.How did the man get to know about the book The Three Body Problem?
9.What does the woman say she can't remember about the book's author?
10.What does the man have to do to fi nish his thesis?
11.What will the man most probably do first after the conversation?
Conversation Two
W: Hello,good afternoon.I have an inquiry to make.It's about the vegetarian food festival you are holding on the 19th of August at the Newcastle City Hall.
M: Yes,of course. My name's Philip. How can I help you?
W: It says on your website that you are still looking for vendors,and I grow organic vegetables on my farm, as well as doing my own home baking. Would I be able to se ll both the vegetables and items baked from them at the festival?
M: That's exactly the type of thing we are looking for.We're getting close to the deadline, however. Do you prefer to fill out an application on the web, or to print it out and fill it in by hand and then post it back to us? Remember that you will have to have all your certificates to hand when you are filling out the forms, as the standards are high and they’ll be carefully checked before anyone will be able to sell their produce at the event.
W: I should be fine with doing it on your website, and I already have all my certificates, as we run a small farm shop too. But can you give me your details anyway?
M: Sure. Please address it to the Organic Organization,Vendor Applications, 112 Queens Road, Newcastle, Northumbria. The postcode is NU 29 3LJ.Remember that the closing date is next Tuesday, the 28th of June.
W: That's absolutely wonderful.Thank you so much for your help.Goodbye.
12.Why does the woman call the man?
13.What is the man still looking for?
14.What does the man say they are getting close to?
15.What does the man finally ask the woman to remember?
Section C
Passage One
Supporters call it“wild camping”; opponents call it“illegal camping”. What both sides accept is that there has been a boom in the past few months, with increasing numbers of visitors pitching their tents on any bit of land they fancy in the UK.In part, this reflects the fact that official campsites have been wholly or partially closed, or are overflowing in a summer when fewer people are going abroad. It is also cheap,at a time when many are worried about what the economic future holds. But it may also be an expression of a desire for going outdoors—a response to the months of lockdown.
Most of the coverage of the boom in wild camping has been negative.Camping in public parks has now been banned for August and the early part of September because campers dump litter, human waste, and even their tents on the grassland. Similar action has been taken even in Scotland, where camping is usually permitted on most of its open land.
Clearly there have to be rules. It would make sense that wild campers need to ask for permission to camp from landowners, especially outside Scotland, where the law is far more restrictive.It would be common sense for people to use small tents and leave no trace of their visit. They have been attracted by a patch of land this close to wilderness, and it is their responsibility to keep it that way.
16.Why has wild camping become popular in the UK?
17.Why is camping banned for part of the summer in public parks?
18.What does the speaker suggest campers do?
Passage Two
Imagine boating down the Amazon River, minding your own business—calmly keeping an eye out for alarmingly large snakes—and a curious pink dolphin appears to swim alongside.While this may seem like a mythical creature, pink dolphins do exist in the Amazon region.
The Amazon river dolphin is a giant among its species. It can measure up to 2 meters long and weigh around 204 kilograms. Size isn't the only thing that sets the Amazon river dolphin apart. Thriving in South American rivers and temporary lakes caused by seasonal flooding, this freshwater dolphin is sometimes shockingly pink.
Although born gray, males of the species are easily identified as they enter adulthood by a decisive pink shade.Their unusual coloring is believed to be the result of scar tissue from do lphin fights—whether playfighting or aserious bi d for a mate. The deeper the pink, the more attractive the males are believed to be, and the older the male, the more pink it will have.
There's also a theory that this color helps the dolphins more readily blend in with their surroundings. During heavy rains, rivers along the Amazon rainforest turn a pink shade, and with it male dolphins are harder to detect.The Amazon wetland system, fed by the Amazon River, is a crucial place for pink dolphins to breed, and since 2018 has been granted internationally protected status.
19.What does the passage say about pink dolphins?
20.What is the unusual coloring of pink dolphins believed to originate in?
21.What has become of the Amazon wetland system since 2018?
Passage Three
In a new Merrill Lynch/Age Wave survey, a full 70% of the early adults said they received financial supportfrom their parents in the past year and 58% said they couldn't afford their current lifestyles without it. The most common types of financial support include cell phone plans, food, school costs and car expenses. Parental financial support of early adults, said Ken Dychtwald, CEO of Age Wave, is“the new normal”.
But 64% of the young adults surveyed said parents' financial support to children age 25 to 34 is“a badthing”, because it makes those kids dependent. By contrast, only 29% thought supporting men and women age 18 to 24 is bad; the remaining 71% thought that assistance“helps the adult children get ahead”.
Dychtwald believes the young women and men surveyed were saying that by 25, younger adults ought to be financially independent.In fact, the respondents said, financial independence defines adulthood.“Financial independence is something they were struggling with and challenged by. And it scared them a bit,”Dychtwald said.One big reason they're struggling is attributed to college loans,of which the average amounts to $37,000. Many of the parents have taken on college loans for the kids,too, sometimes at the expense of their own finances. In the survey, 60% of early adults define financial success as being debt-free. Whether that's likely, or even possible, anytime soon, is anyone's guess.
22.What do we learn from a new survey by Merrill Lynch/Age Wave?
23.Why did most young adults in the survey say financial support to children aged 25 to 34 is a bad thing?
24.What did the respondents in the survey say regarding financial independence?
25.What is one big reason young adults are struggling?

A)由于公寓內(nèi)的火警警報。
B)因為煙霧和高溫破壞。
C)因為水用來滅火了。
D)因為三層樓建筑的倒塌。
解析:新聞末尾部分提到,官員們說,由于煙霧和高溫的破壞,這四套公寓被宣布無法居住,六名居民不得不搬到其他地方。由此可知,選項B為正確答案。其余三個選項新聞中并未提及,可排除。

3.關(guān)于出生季節(jié),過去的一些研究發(fā)現(xiàn)了什么?
A)它對人們健康所起的作用沒有營養(yǎng)攝入來的重要。
B)它對人們健康的影響程度低于日曬。
C)它與人們的精神健康狀況有關(guān)。
D)它與老年人的抑郁癥狀有關(guān)。
解析:新聞中提到,過去的一些研究發(fā)現(xiàn)了出生季節(jié)與精神健康診斷之間的聯(lián)系,故選項C為正確答案。選項A和B都是利用新聞中的細(xì)節(jié)信息設(shè)置的干擾項,新聞只提到了這些影響因素,但并未把出生季節(jié)和營養(yǎng)攝入、日曬的影響程度進(jìn)行對比,故排除這兩項。新聞中提到,老年人的焦慮和抑郁癥狀是由一項新研究進(jìn)行調(diào)查的,而非過去的研究,故選項D可排除。
4.關(guān)于參與者的出生月份與抑郁癥癥狀之間的關(guān)系,這項新研究發(fā)現(xiàn)了什么?
A)它是不明確的。
B)它是系統(tǒng)性的。
C)它是直接的。
D)它是微不足道的。
解析:新聞中提到,最近更多的研究表明,與出生月份相比,社會階層或經(jīng)濟(jì)背景等因素與這些(精神健康)診斷有更大的關(guān)系。新聞結(jié)尾部分提到,總體而言,新研究發(fā)現(xiàn),參與者的出生月份與他們的抑郁或焦慮癥狀之間不存在顯著的關(guān)系(found no significant relationship)。言外之意, 二者之間有關(guān)系, 但是微不足道, 不足掛齒, 選項D中的insignificant與原文中的no significant含義一致, 故為答案。選項A具有一定的迷惑性,但要注意indefinite的含義是“不明確的,不清楚的”,如代入原文,指的是或許有關(guān)系,或許沒有關(guān)系,這顯然違背了原文的含義,故排除。新聞最后提到,一些國家的情況有所不同,但總體來說,沒有發(fā)現(xiàn)系統(tǒng)性的模式,故排除B項“它是系統(tǒng)性的”。C項新聞中未提及,故排除。
5.研究人員針對克隆犬的試驗表明什么?
A)它幫助偵破了多起謀殺案。
B)它已成為北京的明星警犬。
C)它的表現(xiàn)超過了它的母親。
D)它比自然出生的狗表現(xiàn)得更好。

6.科學(xué)家克隆警犬的目的是什么?
A)加快犯罪案件的偵破。
B)測試克隆技術(shù)的可行性。
C)減少訓(xùn)練開支。
D)縮短訓(xùn)練的時間。
解析:新聞中提到,如果克隆犬繼續(xù)保持預(yù)期的良好表現(xiàn),那就意味著警犬的訓(xùn)練時間將大大縮短,訓(xùn)練警犬通常需要五年左右的時間??茖W(xué)家們的終極目標(biāo)是培育出幾個月就能訓(xùn)練好的而不是幾年才能訓(xùn)練好的克隆天才警犬??梢?,科學(xué)家培育克隆犬是為了縮短訓(xùn)練的時間,故選項D為正確答案。其余三個選項新聞中并未提及,可排除。
7.為什么新聞報道說科學(xué)家的目標(biāo)還不可能實現(xiàn)?
A)克隆過程過于復(fù)雜。
B)這項技術(shù)尚未被接受。
C)克隆在倫理上有爭議。
D)這項技術(shù)過于昂貴。

解析:在對話一開始,女士問男士是否在網(wǎng)上看到關(guān)于根據(jù)《三體》一書改編的新電視劇的文章,男士說有同事提到過這本書,所以答案為B項。其他三項都是利用對話中的細(xì)節(jié)信息設(shè)置的干擾項,故均排除。
9.關(guān)于這本書的作者,女士說她不記得什么?
A)他的出版作品。
B)他的第一本書。
C)他的地址。
D)他的名字。
解析:在對話中,女士提到這本書是一位中國科幻小說家寫的,她不記得他的名字了,所以答案為D項。女士提及《三體》作者一共寫了三本書,而《三體》是該系列的第一本,由此可排除A、B兩項;C項在對話中未提及,故也排除。
10.男士要做什么才能完成論文?
A)多收集一些數(shù)據(jù)。
B)少放松一點。
C)澄清許多新概念。
D)多讀參考書。
解析:對話中男士提到自己還需要收集大量的數(shù)據(jù)來完成論文,有點忙不過來,所以答案為A項。其他選項都是利用對話中的細(xì)節(jié)信息設(shè)置的干擾項,故均排除。
11.對話結(jié)束后, 男士最有可能先做什么?
A)找出該劇最有趣的那些集。
B)和女士一起觀看該劇。
C)獲取該書的電子版進(jìn)行閱讀。
D)查看該劇何時開播。
解析:在對話最后,女士建議男士可以下載這本書的電子版,盡量在開播前讀完,男士認(rèn)為這是個好主意,由此推知,對話結(jié)束后,男士最有可能先獲取該書的電子版進(jìn)行閱讀,所以答案為C項。男士在認(rèn)為女士的建議是個好主意后提到,讀完書后,也許他和女士可以一起看電視劇,故排除B項。對話中,男士問女士這部劇什么時候開播,女士回復(fù)說她記不清了,但很快就會開播,而且劇集很長,一共24集。除上述內(nèi)容之外,對話中并未提及男士是否要找出該劇最有趣的那些集,也并未提及男士是否要查看該劇何時開播,故可排除A、D兩項。

13.男士仍在尋找什么?
A)面包師。
B)供應(yīng)商。
C)素食者。

A)向供應(yīng)商發(fā)放證書。
B)完成烘焙任務(wù)。
C)他們正在組織的節(jié)日。
D)申請截止日期。

15.男士最后讓女士記住什么?
A)提交(申請)的截止日期。
B)他公司的網(wǎng)站。
C)儀式的細(xì)節(jié)。
D)組織者的地址。
解析:在對話最后,男士提醒女士記住截止日期是下周二,6月28日。根據(jù)前面的對話內(nèi)容可知,女士要趕在截止日期前填寫并提交申請表,所以答案為A項。對話中雖提及男士公司的網(wǎng)站和組織者的地址,但兩者均不是男士最后提醒女士要記住的內(nèi)容,故排除B、D兩項;對話中并未提及ceremony,故排除C項。

D)人們在夏天有更多的時間。
解析:關(guān)于英國的野外露營變得流行,文章開頭部分給出了以下原因:官方露營地已經(jīng)全部或部分關(guān)閉,或者在出國人數(shù)減少的夏季,官方露營地人滿為患;在許多人擔(dān)心經(jīng)濟(jì)前景的時候,這也是一種成本低廉的選擇;人們渴望戶外活動——對數(shù)月隔離封鎖的回應(yīng)。由此可知,選項B與文章內(nèi)容一致,因此為正確答案。選項A、C和D均不是野外露營變得流行的原因,故排除。
17.為什么夏季的部分時間禁止在公共公園露營?
A)它遭到附近居民的強(qiáng)烈反對。
B)它導(dǎo)致了公共資金的大量浪費。
C)它帶來了環(huán)境問題。

解析:文章中提到,由于露營者將垃圾、人體排泄物甚至帳篷丟棄在草地上,8月和9月上旬英國已禁止在公共公園露營。選項C與文章內(nèi)容一致,因此為正確答案。選項A、B和D文章中均未提及,故排除。
18.說話者建議露營者做什么?
A)在蘇格蘭尋找開闊的土地。
B)不留下露營的痕跡。
C)避免靠近荒野。
D)征求當(dāng)局的許可。
解析:文章最后提到,按照常理,人們應(yīng)該使用小型帳篷,并且在游玩后不留下任何痕跡。他們被一片如此接近荒野的土地所吸引,那么他們就有責(zé)任保持這片土地的原貌。選項B與文章內(nèi)容一致,因此為正確答案。野外露營者需要征得土地所有者的許可才能露營,而不是征求當(dāng)局的許可,故排除選項D。選項A和C文章中未提及,故排除。
19.關(guān)于粉紅河豚, 文章說了什么?
A)它們打敗了神話中的生物。
B)它們通常只關(guān)心自己的事情。

D)它們看起來像大得驚人的巨蛇。
解析:文章中提到,雖然它可能看起來像是神話中的生物,但在亞馬遜地區(qū),粉紅河豚確實存在。選項C與文章內(nèi)容一致, 故為正確答案。雖然A、B、D三項中的mythical creatures、mind…own business、alarminglylarge snakes均為文章原詞重現(xiàn),但三者要么為杜撰的信息(A項和D項),要么張冠李戴,與粉紅河豚無關(guān)(B項),故排除。
20.粉紅河豚不尋常的顏色被認(rèn)為源自什么?
A)河豚打斗時留下的疤痕組織。
