16世紀的城堡即將崩塌。根據(jù)蘇格蘭《每日紀事報》報道，城堡的主人、 76歲的約翰·戈登于周日被迫搬離，迪河的河水沖走了大約60英尺的土地，使得城堡離河太近，十分危險。位于阿伯丁郡的阿伯杰爾迪城堡是由后來成為亨特利伯爵的亞歷山 大·戈登爵士建造的。這座占地約11700英畝的城堡，在 1848年至1970年間出租給了包括愛德華七世、喬治五世在內(nèi)的皇室家族成員。蘇格蘭環(huán)境保護署已經(jīng)發(fā)布了超過 35次覆蓋多個地區(qū)的洪水警報。上周三法蘭克風暴襲擊英國后，蘇格蘭就一直在進行清理工作。該環(huán)境保護署表示：“這意味著河水上漲將會變慢，但之后會長時間持續(xù)保持高水位。”問題：為什么約翰·戈登從阿伯杰爾迪城堡搬出？上周三，蘇格蘭發(fā)生了什么？、Itwasdangeroustolivein.Itwasgoingtoberenovated.Hecouldnolongerpaytherent.Hehadsoldittotheroyalfamily.正確答案：A解析：Q:WhydidJohnGordonmoveoutoftheAbergeldieCastle?推理題。根據(jù)獨白中“ A16thcenturycastleinScotlandisclosetocollapsingafterlumpsofsoilwerewashedawaybyfloods,threateningitsfoundations ”可知，由于迪60河英沖尺走的了土大約地，這導致城堡離河的距離太近，十分危險。因此 A項“繼續(xù)居住會有危險”符合題意。故本題答案為A。、Astrike.Astorm.Aforestfire.Aterroristattack.正確答案：B解析：Q:WhathappenedinScotlandlastWednesday?細節(jié)題。根據(jù)獨白中“ asScotlandcontinuestocleanupafterStormFrankhitthecountrylastWednesday ”可知，上周三法蘭克風暴襲擊英國后，蘇格蘭就一直在進行清理工作。因此 B項“遭遇風暴襲擊”符合題意。故本題答案為 B。Questions3and4arebasedonthenewsreportyouhavejustheard.聽力原文：RescueeffortswereunderwayThursdaymorningfor17minerswhowerestuckinanelevatorbelowgroundataCargillrocksaltminenearLansing,NewYork,accordingtoMarciaLynch,PublicinformationofficerwithTompkinsCounty'sEmergencyResponseDepartment.Emergencyworkershavemadecontactwiththeminersviaaradio,andtheyallappeartobeuninjured,saidJessicaVerfuss,theemergencydepartment'sassistantdirector.Crewshavemanagedtoprovideheatpacksandblanketstotheminerssothattheycankeepwarmduringtherescueoperation,Verfusssaid.Detailsaboutwhatledtotheworkers'beingtrappedintheelevatorweren'timmediatelyavailable.Themine,alongNewYork'sCayugaLake,processessaltusedforroadtreatment.Itproducesabout2milliontonsofsaltthatisshippedtomorethan1,500placesinthenortheasternUnitedStates.TherocksaltmineisoneofthreeoperatedbyCargillwiththeothertwoinLouisianaandOhio.Questions3and4arebasedonthenewsreportyouhavejustheard.Whatdoesthenewsreportsayaboutthesaltminers?Whatdidtherescueteamdo?音頻：翻譯：據(jù)湯普金斯縣緊急情況部門一位名叫瑪西亞 ·林奇的公共信息官員透露，周四上午，有 17名礦工被困在了紐約州蘭辛附近的嘉吉巖鹽礦中的地下電梯里，救援工作正在進行當中。急救部門的副主管杰西卡·韋弗斯說，緊急救援人員已經(jīng)通過無線電與礦工取得了聯(lián)系，他們似乎都沒有受傷。韋弗斯稱，救援人員已經(jīng)想辦法為受困礦工提供了加熱包和毛毯，以便讓礦工可以在救援期間保持溫暖。而導致礦工困在地下電梯的細節(jié)并沒有及時公之于眾。位于紐約卡尤加湖附近的這座鹽礦，主要加工處理道路治理所需的鹽。其產(chǎn)出的 200萬噸鹽會運往美國東北部 1500余個地區(qū)。該巖鹽礦是嘉吉公司經(jīng)營的三家礦山之一，另外兩個則位于路易斯安那州及俄亥俄州。問題：關于這些鹽礦工，這則新聞報道描述了什么？救援部隊做了什么？、Theylostcontactwiththeemergencydepartment.Theyweretrappedinanundergroundelevator.Theywereinjuredbysuddenlyfallingrocks.Theysentcallsforhelpviaaportableradio.正確答案：B解析：Q:Whatdoesthenewsreportsayaboutthesaltminers?細節(jié)題。根據(jù)獨白中“ RescueeffortswereunderwayThursdaymorningfor17minerswhowerestuckinanelevatorbelowgroundataCargillrocksaltminenearLansing,NewYork,accordingtoMarciaLynch,PublicinformationofficerwithTompkinsCounty'sEmergencyResponseDepartment ”可知，周四上午，有17名礦工被困在了紐約州蘭辛附近的嘉吉巖鹽礦中的地下電梯里，救援工作正在進行當中。因此 B項“鹽曠工被困地下電梯”符合題意。故本題答案為B。、Theytriedhardtorepairtheelevator.Theyreleasedthedetailsoftheaccident.Theysentsuppliestokeeptheminerswarm.Theyprovidedtheminerswithfoodandwater.正確答案：C解析：Q:Whatdidtherescueteamdo?細節(jié)題。根據(jù)獨白中“Crewshavemanagedtoprovideheatpacksandblanketstotheminerssothattheycankeepwarmduringtherescueoperation ”可知，救援人員已經(jīng)想辦法為受困礦工提供了加熱包和毛毯，以便讓礦工可以在救援期間保持溫暖。因此 C項“他們帶著物資去給工人保暖”符合題意。故本題答案為 C。Questions5to7arebasedonthenewsreportyouhavejustheard.聽力原文：TheU.S.PostalServiceannouncedtodaythatitisconsideringclosingabout3,700postofficesoverthenextyearbecauseoffallingrevenues.Facingan$8.3billionbudgetdeficitthisyear,closingpostofficesisoneofseveralproposalsthePostalServicehasputforthrecentlytocutcosts.Lastweek,forexample,PostmasterGeneralPatDonahoeannouncedplanstostopmaildeliveryonSaturdays,amovehesayscouldsave$3billionannually.

3000名郵政局長、500名管理人員以及

It ’s ‘WhyaretheBritishsocold? ’Andthey ’retalkingabouttheBritishpersonality —thefamousBritish ‘reserve ’”可知，女士說很多到了英國的外國人都說英國人的性格——著名的英式“保守”。意思是英國人很冷漠，不怎么友善??不怎么開放。因此 D項Reserved “緘默的，冷淡的”符合題意。故本題答案為

C項“她從未被邀請去過同事的家里”符合題意。故本題答案為C。、Housesaremuchmorequiet.Housesprovidemoreprivacy.Theywanttohavemorespace.Theywantagardenoftheirown.正確答案：B解析：Q:WhydoBritishpeoplepreferhousestoflats?推理題。根據(jù)對話中“ Yeah.It

’sresponsibility?音頻：翻譯：在大學里，時間很短，因此非常寶貴。同時，在大學中的開支卻以驚人的速度增加。一份兼職工作是既能平衡開支，又能確保在學業(yè)和課后活動中有充足的時間。如果你是一名正在找兼職工作的大學生，那么開始找工作的最好地點就是在學校里。校內(nèi)有許多兼職機會，而且作為學生，你會自動獲得優(yōu)先錄取的機會。除此之外，校內(nèi)兼職可以抵消通勤時間，能夠很好地連接學校里的學術以及專業(yè)資源。向你們學校的職業(yè)服務或者就業(yè)辦公室求助去來找一份校內(nèi)兼職吧。當然，校外也有兼職機會。如果你花一點時間找一份正確的兼職工作，你能省下時間——在你找到一份能給你預留足夠時間的工作時——完成你的學校作業(yè)。如果是一個正在找工作卻擔心這會讓你沒有足夠的時間投入學習的大學生的話，考慮去做自習室或者圖書館管理員吧。其職責主要包括看管學習場所，以確保安靜。這是一項相對簡單的工作，卻能有不少時間，這意味著你可以有足夠的時間讀書、做作業(yè)或者準備考試。問題：說話者怎么評價大學生找兼職工作？大學生怎么找校內(nèi)兼職？圖書館管理員的職責是什么？、Theydon'thavemuchchoiceofjobs.Theyarelikelytogetmuchhigherpay.Theydon'thavetogothroughjobinterviews.Theywillautomaticallybegivenhiringpriority.正確答案：D解析：Q:Whatdoesthespeakersayaboutcollegestudentsapplyingforon-campusjobs?細節(jié)題。根據(jù)獨白中“ Therearetonsofon-campusjobopportunities,andasastudent,you'llautomaticallybegivenhiringpriori ty”可知，在學校有許多校內(nèi)兼職機會，而且作為學生，你會自動獲得優(yōu)先錄取的機會。因此 D項“他們將自動的被優(yōu)先考慮”符合題意，故本題答案為 D。、Asktheirprofessorsforhelp.Lookatschoolbulletinboards.Visittheschoolcareersservice.Gothroughcampusnewspapers.正確答案：C解析：Q:Whatcanstudentsdotofindacampusjobaccordingtothespeaker?細節(jié)題。根據(jù)獨白中“ Checkwithyourschool ’scareersserviceoremploymentofficeforhelptofindacampusjob ”可知，同學們可以去學校的職業(yè)服務或者就業(yè)辦公室求助，來找一份校內(nèi)兼職。因此C項“去學校的就業(yè)服務機構(gòu)”符合題意，故本題答案為 C。、A)Helpingstudentsfindthebooksandjournalstheyneed.Supervisingstudyspacestoensureaquietatmosphere.Helpingstudentsarrangeappointmentswithlibrarians.Providingstudentswithinformationaboutthelibrary.正確答案：B解析：Q:Whatdoesthespeakersayisalibrarymonitor'sresponsibility?細節(jié)題。根據(jù)獨白中“

就是其中之一。他在克魯格亞地區(qū)種了 40年茶了。他說今年茶葉價格太低了，幾乎沒有盈利。要是想繼續(xù)下去，他必須要種好幾種不同的茶才行。Kibara先生和其他上百位農(nóng)民清走了他們的一部分茶樹，換上了由肯尼亞茶研究基金會培育的新品種。新品的葉子是紫色和棕色的。茶葉煮沸時，茶水呈紫色。醫(yī)學研究人員已經(jīng)表明這種新茶有助于身體健康。他們說它比綠茶更健康，而且價格能比綠茶高3-4倍。但是Kibara說他并沒收到過對紫茶更高的報價。他說紫茶的市場不穩(wěn)定。他經(jīng)常被迫把紫茶按照綠茶的價格出售。他說沒那么多買家愿意花更多的錢去買紫茶。問題：為什么肯尼亞的茶農(nóng)決定種紫茶？研究人員怎么評價紫茶？Kibara認為紫茶怎么樣？、Ittastesbetter.Itiseasiertogrow.Itmaybesoldatahigherprice.Itcanbettersurviveextremeweathers.正確答案：C解析：Q:WhyhaveteafarmersinKenyadecidedtogrowpurpletea?推理題。根據(jù)獨白中“
