News Report 1

音頻原文

A police officer in the U. S. stopped a large SUV car that was going very slowly and drifting across lanes on a highway. He expected to find a driver who was either very drunk or having a medical emergency. Instead, the officer discovered a five year old boy sat on the edge of the driver's seat. His feet could barely reach the brake, and his head was only just high enough to see out of the windows. The child had taken the keys to the family car while his teenage sister was napping. He then drove three kilometers across town before getting on the highway. The boy later told confused officers that he was planning to travel to California and buy a Lamborghini sports car. Although he only had 3 dollar in his wallet, at least he was driving in the right direction.

題目+答案

Q1: Why did the police officer stop the SUV car?

Q2: What did the boy tell the police officers he was planning to do?

News Report 2

音頻原文

Mobile phones have changed the way we live, how we read, work, communicate, and shop. But we already know this. What we have not yet understood is the way the tiny machines in front of us are changing our skeletons. Possibly altering not just the way we behave but even the very shape of our bodies. New scientific research at the University of the Sunshine Coast in Queensland, Australia suggests that young people are developing extra pieces of bone at the backs of their heads. These pieces of bone are caused by the way people bend their heads when they use the phone. This shifts weight onto the muscles at the back of the head and causes the bone to grow in a way that is not normal. This process can be compared to the way the skin hardens in response to constant rubbing or pressure. The result is a piece of bone like a horn that sticks out from the head by the neck.

Q3: What does the report say we have not yet understood about mobile phones?

Q4: What happens to the skin when rubbed or pressed constantly?

A village is going to throw a birthday party for an orange cat named Wilbur, who has become famous for making a regular appearance at local shops.

Wilbur has his own internet pages as he approaches his 10th birthday on July 7.

Wilbur is both bold and friendly.

He spends most of his time in shops and businesses around the village.

He'll just take himself into any shop, anywhere.

There was one time when the doctor's receptionist came back and he was sitting on her chair.

Among his favorite haunts are a local hairdresser, two pubs, and the Nottingham Primary School.

Leslie Harper, who runs one of the pubs, said the cat has been a big hit with their customers.

“He's been a regular visitor for most of this year”, she told the Press Association.

“He's a very relaxed cat, happy for customers and villagers young and old to come in and say hello. She also said he is a cat of expensive tastes, who likes his high priced cat food. ”

Sarah Godfrey, who is organizing Wilbur's party, told the local newspaper, “Wilbur is part of our lives, as he is for everyone who lives in the village. “

M: So, where do you want to go for lunch?

W: I don't know. Do you have anything in mind?

M: What about the sandwich place on Camden Street?

W: Um, no, sorry. I don't feel like sandwiches today. It's a great place, but I think we go there too often.

M: That's true. Remember, that's where we saw Bridget Clark, the famous movie star.

W: Of course. How could I ever forget? There were crowds of people around her, asking for a photo with her.

M: What about hamburgers, then? There's that American style diner on the way to the mall.

W: I like that place. Their chips are great, but their service takes a long time, and I need to get back by 2.：30 for a conference call. How about trying something new? We could try Mario's, the new Italian restaurant on the corner. It looks alright. Have you been there?

M: No, I haven't, but I've noticed that it has great reviews on the internet. It's supposed to be one of the best Italians in town. I think Jeremy has been there and said it was amazing. I'm up for that.

W: Cool. Have you asked Jeremy if he would like to come with us?

M: I already have. He says he can't. He has brought his own lunch today, so he will stay in. I think his wife made him soup.

W: Poor Jeremy. His wife is a terrible cook. He should throw that soup in the bin and join us.

W: Hi there, how are you today? Do you have a reservation with us already?

M: Good afternoon. Yes, we reserved our rooms yesterday morning on your website for three nights. The name's Patterson.

W: Okay, let me have a look. Yes, we have it here. You brought the whole family with you, I see.

M: Yes, the two kids, my wife and I, and her parents too.

W:Great. So, we have a family room for you and your wife and the kids. And another double room for your parents in law. They are right next to each other on the ground floor, since you mentioned in your message that they have trouble with stairs.

M: That's wonderful. My father in law has had terrible problems getting up and down stairs since his knee operation last April.

W: I'm sorry to hear that, and if you need any help to find transportation for the whole family, we can definitely recommend someone for you.

M: We were thinking of renting a car, but we will explore all the options available for sure. So yes, that would be very helpful in comparing prices. We're also wondering what tours and day trips are available.

W: We have bunches of brochures here. I would recommend getting out on a boat trip. The kids will love it, and there are so many islands nearby to explore. There's also a great night market further into town that has all kinds of food and cool little shops selling souvenirs and local jewelry and clothing made by hand.

M: That all sounds marvelous.

W: Now, all I need is to photocopy your passports, and then I can get you all checked in and show you to your rooms.

Passage 1

音頻原文

Artificial intelligence agents play ever more influential roles in our lives. They do everything from suggesting new friends to recommending purchases. They're even beginning to drive our cars. Another role that they are expected to take over is negotiating on our behalf in commercial transactions or legal disputes.

So, it's important to know whether using an artificial intelligence agent might affect how we negotiate. Research indicates that it does. In a new study, participants were told to imagine that they were negotiating for something important to them, like a house. Next, they were told either that they would negotiate for themselves, or they would program an artificial intelligence agent to negotiate for them.

Participants then completed a survey indicating how tough, deceptive, and pleasant or otherwise they wanted to be, or wanted their agent to be, in the negotiations. For example, participants could choose to be tough by making an opening demand far greater than what they'd be willing to accept. They could also choose to express sympathy with their opponent, to appear pleasant.

But they could also indicate that they, or their agent, Would strategically express anger toward the opponent to gain advantage, or they could opt to convey dissatisfaction with the encounter so that the other party would think they were losing interest. These are both examples of deceptive strategies.

Participants were more willing to employ deceptive strategies when assigned an agent to negotiate on their behalf.

Passage 2

音頻原文

New research has studied the effects of a seven week healthy cooking course. Academics measured the program's effect on cooking confidence and self perceived mental health. Researchers also measured participants overall satisfaction around cooking and diet related behaviors. What were the findings?

Course participants saw significant improvements in general health. They also reported improved mental health and subjective vitality immediately after the program. These benefits remained six months after the completion of the course. What caused these improvements? Researchers have previously found a link between eating more fruits and vegetables and improved longer term mental health.

This would imply that the participants in the current study may have felt better due to improved diet. However, the study showed participants mental health improved even if their reported diet did not change after completing the program. Also, the mental health benefits were equal among participants who were overweight or obese and those in a healthy weight range.

This suggests a link between cooking confidence and satisfaction around cooking and mental health benefits. Who benefits most from learning to cook? Gender plays a part. At the start of the program, 77 percent of female participants were confident about cooking, but just 23 percent of males were confident.

At the end of the program, cooking confidence and skills were equal across both counterparts. This change in confidence could lead to a gender balance in home cooking. This, in turn, could reduce consumption of unhealthy, high calorie processed meals.

題目+答案

Q19: What do we learn about the benefits the participants gained from the healthy cooking course?

Q20: What do the new research findings suggest about mental health benefits?

Q21: What plays a role in determining who benefits most from learning to cook?

Passage 3

音頻原文

What is personal space? We often think of it as an invisible bubble of space surrounding us that others can't enter, without causing discomfort.

Research shows, however, that we actually have bubbles of different sizes.

Each of these bubbles applies to a different set of people. The smallest zone, called intimate space, extends outward from our bodies 18 inches in every direction.

Only family, pets and one's closest friends may enter it. A mere acquaintance entering our intimate space makes us uncomfortable.

Next is the bubble called personal space, extending from 1.5 feet to 4 feet away. Friends and acquaintances can comfortably occupy this zone, especially during informal conversations, but strangers are forbidden.

Extending from 4 to 12 feet away from us is social space. Here, people feel comfortable conducting routine social interactions with new acquaintances or total strangers.

Those are the average sizes of Americans personal bubbles, anyway. It is important to keep in mind that personal space varies depending on culture and context.

Furthermore, there are significant individual differences. As we all know, cultural or individual differences in personal bubble diameters are all too often the cause of discomfort.

How did these personal bubbles arise? According to research, we begin to develop our individual sense of personal space around age 3 or 4.

The sizes of our bubbles are fixed by our teens. These bubbles are constructed and monitored by the brain region involved in fear.

Q22:What does research show about our personal space?

Q23: What happens if a mere acquaintance enters our intimate space?

Q24: Where do people feel comfortable interacting with new acquaintances or strangers?

News Report 1

音頻原文

Have you noticed how similar you are to your friends? It may be because your brains operate in harmony with each other. We know that friends are more likely to be the same age, gender, and ethnic background as each other. Now it seems their brains are alike too. Researchers at the University of California scanned 42 classmates while they watched videos intended to provoke varying responses. Some people might find a romantic scene touching, for instance, while others would feel it was embarrassing. The activity of friends brains was more similar than that of people who didn't know each other, particularly in regions involved in attention, emotion, and language. This similarity was strong enough that it could be used to predict whether two people were already friends or not. The relationship probably goes two ways. We are drawn to people who think like us. We then influence their thoughts over time, which may push their brain activity into more closely resembling our own.

Q1: What may be the reason that friends are similar to each other, according to the recent research?

Q2: What does the news report say about the relationship between friends?

Amid all the election drama, air pollution problems and disease outbreaks, five tourists good work is being spread online.

Yesterday, 2 male and 3 female tourists were spotted walking the kilometer long beach, picking up trash.

He felt so sad to see such a gorgeous place littered with so much trash. Thus, he and his friends decided to grab a few trash bags and clean it all up. A man passing by decided to video their good deed and put it on the internet. It was unclear where the rest of the group was from, but they were most likely traveling together.

W: Hello Benjamin, Dan and I will be going for a run along the canal Saturday morning. Would you like to join us?

M:I'd love to, but I hurt my ankle last weekend playing football with work colleagues.

W: Oh dear, is it serious?

M: No, not at all. I landed badly during a fall and twisted it a little, but it's no big deal. It's just a little swollen and I should be fine for next Saturday if you still want to go for a jog then.

W: I won't be here next Saturday. I'm going to the zoo.

M:The zoo?

W: Yeah. My little nephew turns six, and he loves the zoo. So the whole family is going.

M: Oh, okay then. I haven't been to a zoo since I was a kid.

W: They are nowhere near as popular as they used to be when we were children. I personally feel sorry for the poor animals stuck in cages. But there's no denying they are fun and educational for children.

M: Do you know if Dan will be around next Saturday?

W: Yeah, I think he will. Just send him a text message. He's always keen on physical activities.

M: That's true. Dan is extremely fit and healthy. He goes to the gym most days, plus tennis two or three times a week.

W: So, what have you been doing to stay busy while you've had that swollen ankle?

W: Our guest on today's book talk is John Black, the author of the new bestseller, Retire Early.

M: Thanks for having me on the show, Lisa.

W: John, your book is getting a lot of attention, partly because you write that most people can retire by 40. Is that realistic?

M: Definitely. When researching this book, I interviewed hundreds of people who retired by 40.

W: Okay, but how much money does a person need to retire? I've read articles recommending one million dollars as a good figure for retirement.

M:While most financial planners do give numbers, I don't think that's useful, as people are living in different areas with different costs of living, and have different needs and wants, which is why I suggest that people aim for financial independence.

W: What do you mean by financial independence?

M:Having investment income that's greater than monthly expenses.

W: That sounds risky to me. What if an accident happens? Or you get ill and need medical treatment? Shouldn't people have extra cash for emergencies?

M: Too many people spend their lives working on jobs they hate because they're afraid. So I counsel people to take risks. Retirement doesn't have to be permanent, and if people need to, they can go back to work.

W: But it's not always easy to get back into the workforce after an extended absence.

M: True, but if you keep current with your skills, you will be attracted to employers.

W: Maybe, but how can anyone save enough to retire by 40 when most people can't retire at 60?

M: Simple, by cutting housing, food, and transport expenses and investing half your monthly income.

W: That sounds impossible.

M: I admit it's difficult, but it has worked for thousands.

Passage 1

音頻原文

New research from America studies the role that the presence of individuals from different social or racial groups has in influencing consumers food choices. This research found college students were more likely to choose healthy food in the presence of an observer of a different race, as opposed to an observer from their own race. The same was true when they were with someone from a different university compared to someone from their own. Researchers say this was because participants anticipated more negative judgment from an outsider group. In contrast, they felt less judged by members of their own group. In one experiment, participants were offered the choice between candy and fruit as a snack. When in the presence of an unknown student from their own university, only 12 percent of students selected the healthier option. However, this number was 31 percent when in the presence of an unknown student from another university. Other experiments showed similar results based on racial group. What's the reason for this pattern? The study found that people feel judged to a larger extent by members of other groups. Because of this, they strategically use healthy food choices to make a positive impression. There have been many attempts to help consumers make healthier choices, but consumers often struggle to maintain a healthy diet. This research finds that one way to promote a healthy diet could be to advertise the social benefits of healthy choices.

For college students under pressure, a dog may be the best stress fighter around, according to the finding of a recent study. It's a really powerful finding, said Patricia Pendry, who led the study. Universities are doing a lot of great work trying to help students succeed academically, especially those who may be at risk due to a history of mental health issues or academic and learning issues.

This study shows that traditional stress management approaches aren't as effective for this population compared with programs that focus on providing opportunities to interact with therapy dogs. The researchers measured executive functioning in the students involved in the study. Executive function is a term for the skills one needs to plan, organize, motivate, concentrate, and memorize.

These are skills students need to succeed in college. The research has found that students who were most at risk had the most improvements in executive functioning after interacting with therapy dogs. These results remained when researchers followed up six weeks later. Many universities provide academic stress management programs and workshops.

These are traditionally very similar to college classes. They often talk about ways to get more sleep, set goals, or manage stress or anxiety. Hendry acknowledges that these are really important topics and these workshops help typical students succeed. But they're less helpful for struggling students.

Hendry believes those students may experience the programs as another lecture and feel even more stressed.

音頻原文

Taking risks in business does not mean going into business blindly and then expecting great results. On the contrary, taking risks in entrepreneurship involves careful planning and hard work. Nobody can really be sure if risks will be met with success, no matter how calculated they may be. But this should not stop you from taking risks, as risks are necessary if you want your business to succeed.

Some risks may not work out, but an optimistic risk taker will always look at failure as an opportunity to learn. The willingness to experiment with new ideas is key to business growth. As the old saying goes, nothing ventured nothing gained.

Failure will teach you how to think and plan strategically. But just remember that not all risks are good ones, and when you fail, learn from it and move forward. Since most people tend to avoid risk, businesses that are brave enough to take risks already have a competitive advantage. They are the ones setting the standard with new ideas, fresh offers and bold inventions.

Risk takers are best at adapting in difficult times. Simply put, when most individuals stay away from risk, it means less competition for risk takers. We don't know if you'll achieve what these risk takers have achieved, but for as long as you want to stay safe, and for as long as you are content with where your business is right now, you will never find out.

1.中國(guó)政府十分重視人民的飲食健康

中國(guó)政府十分重視人民的健康飲食(diet)。通過大力提倡健康飲食，人們對(duì)合理營(yíng)養(yǎng)增進(jìn)健康的重要性有了更加深刻的認(rèn)識(shí)。“吃得安全、吃得營(yíng)養(yǎng)、吃得健康”是人民對(duì)美好生活的基本需要，是提升人民幸福感的必然要求，也為食品產(chǎn)業(yè)的發(fā)展提供了新機(jī)遇。目前，各級(jí)政府都在采取多種舉措確保人民飲食健康，推進(jìn)健康中國(guó)的建設(shè)。

The Chinese government attaches great importance to the people’s healthy diet. By vigorously advocating healthy diet, people are deeply aware of the importance of reasonable nutrition to enhance health. Eating safely, nutritiously and healthily is the people’s basic demand for a better life, an inevitable requirement for improving the people’s sense of happiness, and also provides new opportunities for the development of the food industry. Recently, governments at all levels are taking various measures to ensure people’s healthy diet and promote the construction of a healthy China.

2.改革開放 生活水平提高

改革開放以來，中國(guó)人的飲食 (diet) 發(fā)生了顯著變化。過去由于經(jīng)濟(jì)落后，食品種類有限、數(shù)量不足，人們僅僅滿足于吃得飽。如今中國(guó)經(jīng)濟(jì)快速發(fā)展，食品不僅更加豐富多樣，質(zhì)量也大幅提高。隨著生活水平不斷提升，人們對(duì)飲食的要求越來越高，更加注重吃得營(yíng)養(yǎng)健康。因此，目前市場(chǎng)上推出的低脂、低糖、有機(jī)食品受到人們的普遍歡迎。

Since the reform and opening-up, remarkable changes have taken place in Chinese people's diet. In the past, due to the backward economy, the limited types of food and the insufficient quantity, people were only satisfied with being full. With the rapid development of China's economy, food is not only more diverse, but also has much higher quality. With the continuous improvement of living standards, people have increasingly higher requirements for diet, and attach more importance to food nutrition and health. Therefore, the low fat, low sugar, organic food promoted on the market gains more popularity among people.

3.改革開放 物流業(yè)發(fā)展

改革開放以來，中國(guó)人民生活水平不斷提高，這在人們的飲食(diet)變化上得到充分體現(xiàn)。如今，人們不再滿足于吃得飽，而是追求吃得更加安全、更加營(yíng)養(yǎng)、更加健康，食物也愈來愈豐富多樣，不再限于本地的農(nóng)產(chǎn)品。物流業(yè) (logistics industry)的發(fā)展使人們很容易品嘗到全國(guó)各地的特產(chǎn)。毫無疑問，食品質(zhì)量與飲食結(jié)構(gòu)的改善為增進(jìn)人們健康提供了有力的保障。

Since the reform and opening up, the living standard of the Chinese people has been continuously improved, which is fully reflected in the change of people's diet. Today, people are no longer satisfied with eating enough, but are seeking to eat more safely, nutritiously, and healthier. Foods are more diverse as well, without being limited to local produce. The development of the logistics industry has made it easy for people to taste specialties from all over the country. There is no doubt that the improvement of food quality and diet structure provides a strong guarantee for the promotion of people's health.

印象最深刻的校園活動(dòng)

Suppose your university newspaper is inviting submissions from students for its coming edition on a campus event that has impressed them most.

Last Saturday, our Student Union organized the AnnualCampus Sports Games, which lasted throughout the weekend. This activity left an unforgettable impression on me. lt was a huge success because not only did it spark students' enthusiasm for sports activities, but it also proved our university's openness and care for students' needs.

The games started at 9 a.m. with a short speech delivered by the principal of our university, who emphasized the importance of sports in building a healthy and balanced lifestyle. Then, various sports events were held including track and field, basketball, swimming, and even chess, cater into a wide range of interests and abilities. The highlight for me was the relay race, which saw an incredible display of teamwork and determination. Additionally, many students were impressed with the good organization of the events, the exciting cheers and medal awarding ceremony held on Sunday evening.

All in all, it was clear that these events had achieved more thirst for physical engagement. They fostered a sense of community, encouraged healthy competition, and allowed students from different backgrounds to connect and engage.

大學(xué)最令人印象深刻的方面

As a student at the Foreign Languages School of Peking University, l am most impressed by the care our university shows to us.

Beause of the damp and cold winters and the burning hot summers, the authorities have installed air conditioning units in all the dormitories, providing us with comfortable shelter from the extreme temperatures. Moreover, the canteens offer affordable set meals, ensuring that students on a tight budget don't have to worry excessively about living expenses and can save money for other necessities. Most notably, I am struck by traffic control during rush hours to ensure students’ safety. During these times, vehicles are prohibited from using the routes students take to and from classroom buildings and dormitories.

To be frank, there are too many examples to list in their entirety. I am very proud to be a part of our university and would like to express my sincere gratitude for everything our university does for its students

英語四六級(jí)閱讀部分練習(xí)

1.做第一遍閱讀的時(shí)候，做完對(duì)答案，只圈出錯(cuò)誤;

2.重做錯(cuò)題，看能不能做對(duì)，并試圖找出做錯(cuò)的原因;

3.把依舊不會(huì)的題標(biāo)注，仔細(xì)分析，標(biāo)注錯(cuò)題原因。錯(cuò)因有很多：?jiǎn)卧~問題，語法問題，粗心導(dǎo)致，題目陷阱等。

4.對(duì)照答案詳解，弄清楚錯(cuò)題，并標(biāo)注好涉及到的考點(diǎn)。在卷子上清晰標(biāo)注好。

注意：真題閱讀要做到精做，把里面的單詞和句子都弄懂才行，記了很多單詞，做閱讀還是不行，說明語法和做真題的方式確實(shí)還需要改進(jìn)，而閱讀中出現(xiàn)的單詞也應(yīng)該拿小本本記下來。

英語四六級(jí)多刷真題

臨考一個(gè)月，一定進(jìn)入刷題狀態(tài)。

做真題時(shí)，嚴(yán)格計(jì)時(shí)，養(yǎng)成習(xí)慣，以免考試時(shí)做不完題目。做題計(jì)時(shí)，除了能提高自己的做題速度之外，還可以來檢驗(yàn)自己的復(fù)習(xí)成果，進(jìn)而查漏補(bǔ)缺，指導(dǎo)下一步的復(fù)習(xí)計(jì)劃。

在此階段，大家可以拿真題和模擬題進(jìn)行交替模擬測(cè)試。

第一遍做真題時(shí)不要邊查字典邊做題。這樣做一是會(huì)嚴(yán)重影響做題的連貫思路;并且會(huì)把你做題的時(shí)間打亂，建議大家按照規(guī)定時(shí)間練習(xí)答題，鍛煉好應(yīng)試心態(tài)和能力，掌控好時(shí)間，你才能掌控你的四六級(jí)考試。

“猜詞”。建議大家在第一遍做真題時(shí)，遇到生詞先結(jié)合語境猜，對(duì)完答案后把生詞查出來并借助。真題中出現(xiàn)的詞都是重點(diǎn)常考的詞匯，這些高頻詞一來二去就被我們記在腦袋里了。

避免做題大忌——只看正確率。如果你有做真題的正確率忽高忽低的情況，回顧一下自己有沒有真正在分析題目的出題點(diǎn)、解題的規(guī)律、失誤的原因等等。這一環(huán)節(jié)需要注意，不要只分析錯(cuò)題，別忘了那些懵對(duì)的題目。
