News Report One

听力原文&译文

One of Google's self-driving cars crashed into a bus in California last month.There were no injuries.

It is not the first time one of Google's famed self-driving cars has been involved in a crash, but it may be the first time it has caused one.

On February 14th the self-driving car, travelling at 2mph, pulled out in front of a public bus going 15mph.

[1]The man in the Google vehicle reported that he assumed the bus would slow down to let the car out, and so he did not switch to the manual mode.

In a statement, Google said:“We clearly bear some responsibility, because if our car hadn't moved, there wouldn't have been a crash.That said, our test driver believed the bus was going to slow or stop to allow us to merge into the traffic, and that there would be sufficient space to do that.”

[2]The company's self-driving cars have done well over a million miles across various states in the U.S.，and until now have only reported minor accidents.

上个月，谷歌的一辆自动驾驶汽车在加利福尼亚州与一辆公交车相撞，无人受伤。

这不是谷歌著名的自动驾驶汽车第一次卷入交通事故中了，不过由其引发交通事故或许这是第一次。

2月14日，以每小时2英里的速度行驶的自动驾驶汽车，横冲到一辆车速为每小时15英里的公交车前面。

[1]谷歌自动驾驶汽车中的人员报告称，他以为公交车会放慢速度让自动汽车通过，所以他没有切换到手动控制模式。

谷歌公司在声明中表示：“很明显，我们在此次事故中负有责任，因为如果我们的汽车不变道，就不会发生相撞事故。也就是说，我们（谷歌）的测试驾驶员以为公交车会放慢速度或停下来让汽车并入车道，而且当时道路上有足够的空间可以那么做。”

[2]谷歌公司的自动驾驶汽车已经穿越美国各州，行驶里程达100多万英里，表现一直都很好，截止到目前，据报道仅出现过几次小型事故。

1. A) The self-driving system was faulty.

B) The car was moving at a fast speed.

C) The man in the car was absent-minded.

D) The test driver made a wrong judgment.

Q: According to Google, what was the cause of the accident?

▶解析：新闻中提到，谷歌自动驾驶汽车中的人员报告称，他以为公交车会放慢速度让自动汽车通过，所以他没有切换到手动控制模式。因此，正是由于驾驶员错误的判断导致事故的发生，故选D。

2. A) They have generally done quite well.

B) They have caused several severe crashes.

C) They have posed a threat to other drivers.

D) They have done better than conventional cars.

Q: How have Google's self-driving cars performed so far?

A）它们通常表现得很好。

B）它们已经引起了几次严重的交通事故。

C）它们对其他驾驶员构成了威胁。

D）它们比传统汽车的表现更好。

问：谷歌的自动驾驶汽车迄今为止表现得如何？

▶做题提示：四个选项都以they作主语，其中两项为正面阐述，剩余两项是负面描述。听到问题后应立刻确定they的指代对象，回忆所听新闻内容，结合选项作答。

▶解析：新闻的结尾提到，谷歌公司的自动驾驶汽车已经穿越美国各州，行驶里程达100多万英里，表现一直都很好，截止到目前，据报道仅出现过几次小型事故。由此可知，谷歌自动驾驶汽车通常表现良好，故本题选A。

News Report Two

听力原文&译文

Thousands of bees left a town after landing on the back of a car when their queen got stuck in its boot.[3]Tom Moses, who works at a nearby national park, noticed a“brown patch”on the back of the car after the owner parked it to do some shopping.When he looked closer he realized it was a huge group of bees.

Moses said,“I've never seen that many bees in one spot.It was very unusual.[4]They were very close together and there was a lot of noise and movement.It was interesting to see such a strange sight.But there were a lot of people around and I was a bit worried about the bees and the people stopping to look.I thought that someone might do something stupid.”

Moses called two local bee specialists who helped remove the bees by attracting them into a box.

Moses spent three hours looking after the bees and was stung five times.He said,“My stings are a bit painful but I'm pleased it all worked out and I could help.People need to realize that bees are valuable and they should be looked after.”

数千只蜜蜂落到了一辆汽车的后部，随车离开了一座城镇，当时它们的蜂王被困在这辆汽车的后备箱里。当车主把车停下来去购物之后，[3]在附近的国家公园工作的汤姆·摩西注意到了这辆汽车后部有“一块褐色的东西”。他靠近观察才意识到那是一大群蜜蜂。

摩西说：“我从来没见过那么多蜜蜂聚集在一个地方。这很不寻常。[4]它们挨得很近，并且制造了很多噪音和动静。看到如此怪异的景象很有意思。不过，附近人流量大，我有点担心蜜蜂和停下来观看的人。我觉得有些人可能会做出愚蠢的举动。”

摩西打电话请来了两名当地的蜜蜂专家，他们帮忙把蜜蜂引到了一只箱子里，通过这种方式把蜜蜂转移走了。

摩西花了三个小时照看蜜蜂，被蛰了五次。他说：“被蜜蜂蛰是有点疼，但是我很开心一切进展顺利，而且我能帮上忙。人们需要知道，蜜蜂是很宝贵的，应该得到妥善的照顾。”

3. A) He is a queen bee specialist.

B) He works at a national park.

▶解析：新闻开头提到，在附近的国家公园工作的汤姆·摩西注意到了这辆汽车后部有“一块褐色的东西”。所以B项正确。

4. A) They were making a lot of noise.

B) They were looking after the queen.

C) They were dancing in a unique way.

D) They were looking for a new box to live in.

Q: What do we know about the bees on the back of the car?

A）它们制造了很多噪音。

B）它们正在照顾蜂王。

C）它们正以独特的方式跳舞。

D）它们正在找一只新箱子住进去。

问：关于汽车后部的蜜蜂，我们可以了解到什么？

▶做题提示：四个选项均以they作主语，且都是过去进行时，根据四个选项描述的内容可初步推测，they指代的是蜜蜂，本题问的可能是蜜蜂在某一时刻的行为。听到问题后应立刻回忆所听新闻内容，结合选项作答。

▶解析：新闻中提到，摩西说蜜蜂在汽车的后部挨得很近，并且制造了很多噪音和动静。因此本题选A。

News Report Three

听力原文&译文

[5]A new species of snake has been discovered on a remote island in the Bahamas.

Scientists identified 20 of the one-meter-long snakes during two trips to the Caribbean islands.The second trip was made in October last year.

[6]One of the creatures made a dramatic appearance by moving on to the head of the team leader as he slept.

[7]The snake has been named Silver Boa because it is metal-colored and the first specimen found was climbing a silver palm tree.

The team was led by Dr.Graham Reynolds from Harvard University.The scientist confirmed the snake was a previously unknown species after conducting a genetic analysis of tissue samples.

Commenting on the find, snake expert Robert Henderson from the Milwaukee Museum of Natural History said,“Worldwide new species of frogs are being discovered and described quite regularly.New species of snakes, however, are much rarer.”

[5]在巴哈马群岛的一个偏远岛屿上发现了一个蛇类新品种。

科学家两次去加勒比群岛时鉴别出了20条这种一米长的蛇。科学家第二次去加勒比是在去年10月。

[6]其中一条蛇的出现富有戏剧性，当那个考察队的领队睡觉时，它爬到了他的头上。

[7]这种蛇被命名为“银蟒”，因为它是金属色的，而且第一个样本被发现时，它正在一棵银色的棕榈树上爬行。

那支队伍由哈佛大学的格雷厄姆·雷诺兹带队。这位科学家对蛇的组织样本进行基因分析之后，证实这种蛇是人类尚未发现的新品种。

来自密尔沃基自然历史博物馆的蛇类专家罗伯特·亨德森对该发现评论道：“在全世界范围内，青蛙新品种被发现和描述很常见。然而，蛇类新品种却十分罕见。”

▶解析：说完行李的问题，女士请求男士帮忙在酒店网站上写评论，故A项为正确答案。B项和C项在对话中均未提及，故均可排除。D选项是使用对话中的原词设置的干扰项，原文中女士说酒店可安排行李搬运工，帮助男士把行李放到机场接送班车上，故D项也可排除。

Conversation Two

听力原文&译文

M:You know,[12]Ben's given up making those terrible faces he used to make.The other day, he came home from school almost in tears.His teacher said if he went on like that, his face would get stuck when the winds changed.

W:And he believed her?

M:Yeah, he's only a little boy.Don't you remember all those things we used to believe when we were little?[13]I remember my aunt Mary used to say if you swallow a cherry stone, a tree will grow out of your mouth.And I'm still terrified today, sort of subconsciously.You know, if I swallow one by mistake…

W:Yeah, I suppose you're right.[14]The one that used to get me was that swans could break your leg with a blow of the wing.

M:They can, can't they? I always thought they could.

W:No, they are not that strong.But there's another one even more terrifying.That is, if you put a postage stamp on upside down, you'll go to prison.

M:No, never heard of that.But my grandmother was a terror for that kind of thing.For example, she would say, you will get a spot on your tongue if you tell a lie.If you eat stale bread, your hair will curl.And here's one more.We went on a camping trip once in Italy, and my wife spent the whole time worrying about bats getting into her hair.[15]She said her grandmother reckoned you had to shave your head to get it out.My wife was really terrified.

W:Silly, isn't it? But that's how some parents try to keep their kids from doing the wrong thing or getting into trouble.

男：你知道的，[12]本已经不再像以前那样做可怕的鬼脸了。几天前，他放学回家，眼里含着泪水。他的老师说如果他继续做可怕的鬼脸，当风向改变的时候，他的脸将动不了了。

女：他相信了他的老师？

男：是啊，他只是个小孩子。你不记得我们小的时候曾经相信的那些事了吗？[13]我记得我姑姑玛丽过去常说，如果吞掉一颗樱桃核，就会有一棵树从嘴巴里长出来。到如今我潜意识里仍然害怕这件事。你知道，如果我误吞了一颗樱桃核……

女：是啊，我认为你是对的。[14]我小时候曾经相信天鹅拍一下翅膀就能打断人的腿。

男：它们确实可以，难道不是吗？我一直认为它们可以。

女：不，它们没有那么强壮。但是还有一个更为恐怖的说法。那就是，如果将邮票贴倒了，你将会坐牢。

男：不，我从没听过这种说法。但是我的祖母总是会把那样的事情说得非常恐怖。比如说，她会说，如果说谎，舌头上就会长斑点。如果吃不新鲜的面包，头发就会变卷。还有一个例子。有一次，我们参加意大利的露营旅行，我妻子全程都在担心蝙蝠飞进她的头发。[15]她说她的祖母认为只有把头发剃光才能把蝙蝠赶出去。我妻子真的非常害怕。

女：很愚蠢，不是吗？但是一些父母就是通过这种方式试图让他们的孩子不做错事或不招惹麻烦。

12. A) He becomes tearful in wind.

B) He is the only boy in his family.

C) He is his teacher's favorite student.

D) He has stopped making terrible faces.

Q: What does the man say about Ben?

A）他在风中泪流满面。

B）他是家里唯一的男孩。

C）他是老师最喜欢的学生。

D）他已经不再做可怕的鬼脸了。

问：关于本，男士说了什么？

▶听前预测四个选项均以he开头，且都描述he某方面的细节特征（tearful、only boy、favorite student、making terrible faces）。

结论：本题很可能考查he所具有的某方面的特征，或者与他人如何评价he有关。听音时应重点关注与选项关键词相关的细节描述，明确he的指代对象。

▶解析：对话开头男士开门见山地说本已经不再像以前那样做可怕的鬼脸了，因此D项符合对话内容，为正确选项。A项是根据对话中almost in tears和winds这两处信息设置的干扰项，对话中仅提及本几乎哭着回家，因为本的老师说如果本继续做鬼脸，当风向改变时，他的脸会动不了了，所以可排除A。B项和C项在对话中未提及，故均可排除。

13. A) Warn him of danger by making up a story.

B) Give him some cherry stones to play with.

C) Do something funny to amuse him.

D) Tell him to play in her backyard.

Q: What did aunt Mary use to do when the man was a child?

▶听前预测四个选项均以动词原形开头，且都含有代词him。其中三个选项含有玩耍或者娱乐的表达（play with、something funny to amuse、play）。

结论：本题很可能考查某人做了什么事情来使him开心或愉悦。听音时应明确him的指代对象，关注在指代对象身上所发生的事情，可联系选项关键词进行定位。

▶解析：男士在对话中提到，他小的时候，玛丽姑姑常常说，如果吞掉一颗樱桃核，就会有一棵树从嘴巴里长出来，即编故事警告他不要做一些危险的事情，故A项符合对话所述的内容。B项是根据对话中出现的原词cherry stone设置的干扰项，对话是说玛丽姑姑编樱桃核的故事警告男士，而不是给他樱桃核玩耍，故可排除。听音时应注意判断细节，读懂选项意思，切忌不加思考地选择听到的词，被选项迷惑。C项和D项在对话中未提及，故均可排除。

14. A) They could knock people unconscious.

B) They could fly against a strong wind.

C) They could sometimes terrify adults.

D) They could break people's legs.

Q: What does the woman believe swans could do?

A）它们会把人打晕。

B）它们能在大风中飞行。

C）它们有时会吓到成年人。

D）它们能打断人的腿。

问：女士相信天鹅能做什么？

▶听前预测四个选项均以they could+动词原形开头。根据knock people unconscious、fly against和break people's legs可知they的指代对象很可能是某种动物，且这种动物很可能是鸟类。

结论：本题很可能考查they的指代对象的某种能力，并且这种能力很可能对人类有攻击性。听音时应明确they的指代对象，根据前面的推断，应重点关注某些鸟类攻击人类的事件或细节，但是不应局限于鸟类，听音时应做到面面俱到。

▶解析：女士在对话中提到，她小时候曾经相信天鹅拍打翅膀的时候能打断人的腿，故D项为正确选项。其他三项在对话中均未提及，故均可排除。

15. A) One would have curly hair if they ate too much stale bread.

B) One would go to prison if they put a stamp on upside down.

C) One would have to shave their head to remove a bat in their hair.

D) One would get a spot on their tongue if they told a lie deliberately.

Q: What did the grandmother of the man's wife say?

A）如果吃太多不新鲜的面包，头发就会变卷。

B）如果将邮票贴倒了，就会坐牢。

C）人们需要剃光头发才能把飞进头发的蝙蝠赶走。

D）如果故意说谎，舌头上就会长斑。

问：男士妻子的祖母说过什么？

▶听前预测四个选项均以one would开头，其中三项含有if引导的条件状语从句，并且四个选项的说法都是不可能成立的情况。

结论：本题很可能考查某人警告对方不要做什么事情，看说法的真实性，也可判断应该是成人编造故事警告孩子不许做危险的事。听音时应重点关注选项涉及的事例，根据选项关键词进行定位。

▶解析：男士由一次和妻子的露营旅行，引出妻子的祖母在其年幼的时候编的一个故事，即人们需要剃光头发才能把飞进头发的蝙蝠赶走，故C项正确。A项和D项是男士自己的祖母编的故事，而不是男士妻子的祖母，故可排除。B项在对话中也有提及，但是并未说这一故事出自谁之口，也并未说是男士妻子的祖母说的，因此B项也可排除。

Section C

Passage One

听力原文&译文

If I could go back in history and live when I liked, I wouldn't go back very far.[16]In fact, I'd like to relive a period I've already lived, the 1960s.I was in my twenties, and everything was being renewed.People were coming out of a formal and almost Victorian attitude, and you really felt anything was possible.[17]Meeting people was the thing, and you went to coffee bars where you met friends and spent the evening.The cinema, the theater, all that was very exciting with new things coming out.In fact, we seemed to be out all the time.I don't really remember working.[18]Of course, I was a student, or sitting around at home very much.That just wasn't where the scene was, even eating.It was the first time ordinary people started going out to eat.We were beginning to be adventurous about food, but we were more interested in meeting people than in eating or drinking.And dress, yes, that was the revolution.I mean, girls went around in really short skirts, and wore flowers in their hair.And men were in jeans, and could wear their hair long too.It was a wonderful period.It was like living in an age you could never have imagined, and that never has come back.We didn't have much money, but it didn't matter.And there was plenty of opportunity to do whatever you felt like doing.

如果我能回到过去，生活在我喜欢的年代，我不会回去太远。[16]事实上，我想要重温自己曾经历过的一段时间——20世纪60年代——那时的我二十多岁，一切正重新振兴。当时人们正在摆脱一种拘谨的几乎是维多利亚式的态度，你能真真切切地感受到一切皆有可能。[17]社交是最流行的，人们去咖啡馆会友，并在那里度过夜晚的时光。电影院、剧院，所有这些新兴事物都令人异常兴奋。事实上，那时的我们似乎一直都待在外面。我甚至记不起工作。[18]当然了，那时我还是一名学生，大多数时间都待在家里无所事事。但家里可看不到什么景象，就连吃饭也是。那时也是大众第一次开始在外就餐。我们开始探索食物，但相较于吃喝，我们对社交更感兴趣。而且，服饰，没错，那可是一场变革。我是说，女孩们穿着相当短的裙子闲逛，头上还戴着花饰。男士们穿着牛仔，也能留长发。那是个美好的时期。仿佛生活在一个你想都没想过的时代，而那个时代一去不复返了。那时我们不富有，但这不重要。在那个时期，你有无限的可能做任何你想做的事情。

16. A) Everything seemed to be changing.

B) People were formal and disciplined.

C) People were excited to go traveling overseas.

D) Things from the Victorian era came back alive.

Q: Why does the speaker say he would like to relive the 1960s?

A）一切似乎都在变化。

B）人们既拘谨又有纪律。

C）人们对出国旅行感到兴奋。

D）维多利亚时代的事物得到重生。

问：为什么讲话者说他想要再次生活在20世纪60年代？

▶解题思路：四个选项均为描述性句子且提到的内容均涉及人或事物的状态。

结论：四个选项中有两项涉及人的状态，另外两项涉及事物的状态。听音时应重点把握与选项关键词相关的内容，关注与人或事物状态有关的信息。

▶解析：讲话者提到，20世纪60年代他处于20多岁的年纪，而那时的一切正重新振兴，接下来具体举例提到了那时人们的兴趣、生活方式的变化以及其他新兴事物的出现，由此可知，那时的一切都在变化，故A项为正确答案。短文中提到那时的人们正在摆脱拘谨的态度，并且也没有提到有纪律这一信息，排除B项；C项和D项内容在短文中未提及，故排除。

17. A) Watching TV at home.

B) Meeting people.

C) Drinking coffee.

D) Trying new foods.

Q: What does the speaker say was the most popular thing to do at that time?

A）在家看电视。

B）社交。

C）喝咖啡。

D）试吃新食物。

问：讲话者认为那个时代什么事情最流行？

▶解题思路：四个选项均为动名词短语；四个选项提到的内容均和日常活动有关。

结论：根据四个选项中分别提到TV、meeting、coffee、foods可推测，本题考查与日常活动有关的内容，听音时应重点关注相关信息。

▶解析：讲话者明确提到那个时代社交是最流行的，人们去咖啡馆会友，并在那里度过夜晚的时光，故B项为正确答案。

18. A) He was interested in stylish dresses.

B) He was able to make a lot of money.

C) He was a young student in the 1960s.

▶解题思路：四个选项均为以he为主语的描述性句子，且均描述he的特点。

结论：四个选项中两项描述的是he的优点，另外两项的描述无褒无贬，因此听音时应首先明确he的指代对象，重点把握与选项关键词相关的内容。

▶解析：讲话者明确提到那时他还是一名学生，故C项为正确答案。短文中虽然提到那时人们服饰的变化，但并未说讲话者对时髦的服饰感兴趣，故排除A项；其余两项内容在文中未提及，均可排除。

Passage Two

听力原文&译文

Dogs, men's best friends, have a clear strategy for dealing with angry owners—they look away.

[19]New research shows that dogs limit their eye contact with angry humans.The scientists suggest this may be an attempt to calm humans down.This behavior may have evolved as dogs gradually learned they could benefit from avoiding conflicts with humans.

To conduct the tests, the University of Helsinki researchers trained 31 dogs to rest in front of a video screen.Facial photos of dogs and humans were displayed on the screen for 1.5 seconds.They showed threatening, pleasant and neutral expressions.Nearby cameras tracked the dogs' eye movements.

Dogs in the study looked most at the eyes of humans and other dogs to sense their emotions.[20]When dogs looked at the expressions of angry dogs, their eyes rested more on the mouth, perhaps to interpret the threatening expressions.And when looking at angry humans, they tended to turn away their gaze.

Dogs may have learned to detect threat signs from humans and respond by trying to make peace.According to researcher Sanni Somppi, avoiding conflicts may have helped dogs develop better bonds with humans.

[21]The researchers also note that dogs scan faces as a whole to sense how people are feeling, instead of focusing on a given feature.They suggest this indicates that dogs aren't sensing emotions from a single feature, but piecing together information from all facial features just as humans do.

狗，人类最好的朋友，有一个清晰的策略来应对生气的主人——它们会转移目光。

[19]新的研究表明，狗会减少与生气的人类进行眼神交流。科学家认为，这或许会是使人类冷静下来的一种尝试。随着狗逐渐意识到它们会从避免和人类起冲突中获得好处，这种行为可能已经得到了进化。

为了进行测试，赫尔辛基大学的研究者训练了31只狗，让它们待在一个录像机屏幕前。每隔1.5秒，屏幕上就会出现狗和人类的面部照片。这些照片展现出了危险的、愉快的和中立的表情。附近的录像机捕捉到了狗的视线移动。

测试中大多数的狗看了人类和其他狗的眼睛，以感知其情绪。[20]当狗看到生气的狗的表情时，它们的视线会更多停留在嘴上，可能想要诠释这种威胁性的表情。当看到生气的人类时，它们却倾向于转移目光。

狗或许已经学会了感知危险信号并尝试着用和平的方式作出回应。萨尼·松皮认为，避免冲突或许有助于狗与人类发展更好的关系。

[21]研究者还指出，狗通过观察人类的整张脸来感知人类的情绪，而不是只关注某一个特定的特征。他们认为，这表明狗不是通过某一个单一的特征来感知情绪，而是像人类一样，从所有的面部特征中综合分析信息。

19. A) They avoid looking at them.

B) They run away immediately.

C) They show anger on their faces.

D) They make threatening sounds.

Q: What do dogs do when they are faced with angry humans?

A）它们回避看他们。

B）它们马上逃开。

D）它们发出威胁性的声音。

问：当狗面对生气的人类时会做什么？

▶解题思路：四个选项均为以they为主语的描述性句子且均描述了they的反应行为。

结论：四个选项中分别提到avoid looking at、run away、show anger、make threatening sounds, 可推测本题考查与反应行为有关的内容。听音时应首先判断they的指代对象，听音重点为与they对某事物所做出的反应有关的信息。

▶解析：根据问题可知，选项中的they指代dogs。讲话者提到人类生气的时候狗会减少和他们的眼神交流，故A项为正确答案。其余三项在文中均未提及，故排除。

20. A) It turns to its owner for help.

B) It turns away to avoid conflict.

C) It looks away and gets angry too.

问：当一只狗看到生气的狗的表情时会做什么？

▶解题思路：四个选项均为以it为主语的描述性句子，且均描述了it的反应行为。

结论：本题思路与上一题相似。四个选项描述的仍然是反应行为，听音时应首先判断it的指代对象，听音重点为与it对某事物所做出的反应有关的信息。

▶解析：根据问题可知，选项中的it指代dog。讲话者提到，当狗看到生气的狗的表情时，它们的眼神会更多停留在嘴上，故D项为正确答案。其余三项在文中均未提及，故排除。

21. A) By observing their facial features carefully.

B) By focusing on a particular body movement.

问：狗如何感知人类的情绪？

▶解题思路：四个选项均为以by开头的介词短语，表方式。

结论：本题很可能考查做某事的方式，听音时应首先明确it的指代对象，重点关注与方式或方法相关的信息。

▶解析：讲话者提到狗不是通过某一个单一的特征来感知情绪，而是像人类一样，从所有的面部特征中综合分析信息，故C项为正确答案。其余三项文中均未提及，故排除。

Passage Three

听力原文&译文

Winter in many places is very cold.There is lots of snow around, and the ground freezes, which can make life difficult for animals.People in cold places live in warm houses and have learned to adapt.What do animals do?[22]There are three main ways that animals survive the cold in winter: sleep, adapt or migrate.

Some animals, such as bears, frogs and snakes, sleep all winter.They sleep very deeply and need little or no food.While sleeping, their body temperature drops, and their heart beat slows down.[23]To prepare for this before winter, these animals eat extra food to become fat, which gives them the energy they need while they sleep.

Other animals adapt, for example, by staying active in winter.It is often hard for them to find food.[24]So some animals, such as mice, collect extra food before winter, and hide it.When winter comes, they return to the hiding places to eat the food.Some animals grow thicker fur, or live in tree holes or underground to stay warm.

Some birds migrate by flying to a warmer place for the winter, where they can find more food.Some fly very long distances, including one kind of bird that flies from the remote north of the world, all the way to the distant south.[25]Some birds fly in groups for safety, while others fly alone.

许多地方的冬天都很冷。周围到处是积雪，地面也结冰，这会使动物的生存变得艰难。寒冷地区的人们居住在温暖的房子里，而且已经学会适应寒冷天气。动物们怎么办呢？[22]动物度过严冬有三种主要方式：冬眠、适应以及迁徙。

有些动物，诸如熊、青蛙和蛇，它们会睡一整个冬季。它们的睡眠很深，需要很少或者几乎不需要食物。当冬眠的时候，它们的体温会下降，心跳也会减速。[23]为了在寒冬来临之前做好冬眠的准备，这些动物吃些额外的食物增加脂肪，可以提供冬眠期间所需能量。

另外一些动物则适应环境，比如说，在冬天保持活跃。找食物对它们来说往往很困难。[24]所以一些动物，比如鼠类，会在冬天到来之前收集更多的食物并把它们藏起来。冬天一来，它们就返回贮藏处吃食物。一些动物蓄起更厚的皮毛，也有些住进树洞或地下来保暖。

一些飞鸟迁徙到更温暖的地方过冬，在那里，它们能觅到更多的食物。有些鸟类飞行的距离很远，这其中包括一种鸟，它们从地球偏远的北方一路飞向遥远的南方。[25]有些鸟类为了安全，成群飞行，还有一些则选择单独飞行。

22. A) They have to look for food and shelter underground.

B) They take little notice of the changes in temperature.

C) They resort to different means to survive the bitter cold.

D) They have difficulty adapting to the changed environment.

Q: What does the speaker say about animals in winter?

A）它们不得不寻找食物并居住在地底下。

B）它们很少注意温度的变化。

C）它们采用不同的方式度过严寒。

D）它们很难适应变化的环境。

问：讲话者谈到了动物们在冬天的什么信息？

▶解题思路：四个选项均以they开头，并且都描述they某方面的细节特点。三个选项都有涉及环境与温度的词语（temperature、bitter cold、environment）。

结论：本题很可能考查在某种环境下某事物呈现出的特点或细节，听音时应重点关注与选项关键词相关的信息，明确they的指代对象。

▶解析：讲话者在讲述动物们如何度过严冬时提到，动物度过严冬有三种主要方式：冬眠、适应以及迁徙，即动物们会用不同的方式度过严冬，因此C项的描述与讲话的内容一致，为正确答案。A项属于信息杂糅，讲话者提到鼠类等动物会提前储备更多的食物过冬，另一些动物会藏到地下以保持温暖，因此A项所说并不是任何一种动物度过寒冬的方式，可排除。B项与听力原文所表述的意思正好相反，综合全篇可知，动物们都会察觉到温度的变化，早早为过冬做准备，而不是很少注意温度的变化，故可排除B项。D项在原文中未提及，故可排除。

23. A) They have their weight reduced to the minimum.

B) They consume energy stored before the long sleep.

C) They can maintain their heart beat at the normal rate.

D) They can keep their body temperature warm and stable.

Q: What do we learn about animals that sleep through winter?

A）它们将体重减到最轻。

B）它们在漫长的冬眠过程中消耗之前储存在体内的能量。

C）它们可以将心跳保持在正常水平。

D）它们可以使自己的体温保持温暖和稳定。

问：我们可以知道冬眠动物的什么信息？

▶解题思路：四个选项均以they开头，并且都描述they的某些行为（have weight reduced、consume energy、maintain heart beat、keep body temperaturE）。

结论：本题很可能考查某事物为了应对某些特殊环境或事件所做出的行动，听音时应重点关注与选项关键词相关的信息，明确they的指代对象。

▶解析：讲话者在阐述冬眠的动物时说，这些动物在寒冬来临之前吃一些额外的食物来增加脂肪，以满足冬眠时身体的能量需求，即动物在冬眠期间靠消耗体内所存的能量为生，因此B项的描述与讲话的内容一致，为正确答案。A项在文中未提及，可排除。讲话者提到，冬眠时，动物们体温下降，心跳减速，所以C项和D项为错误信息，可排除。

24. A) By staying in hiding places and eating very little.

B) By seeking food and shelter in people's houses.

C) By growing thicker hair to stay warm.

D) By storing enough food beforehand.

Q: How do animals like mice adapt to the severe winter?

A）待在隐蔽之处并且吃得很少。

B）在人类的房子里找食物和栖身之所。

C）蓄更厚的皮毛来保暖。

D）提前储存足够的食物。

问：诸如鼠类的动物是如何适应寒冬的？

▶解题思路：四个选项均以by+动词-ing形式开头，表示方式和途径。其中三项涉及食物问题（eating very little、seeking food、storing enough fooD） ，一项涉及保暖问题（stay warM）。

结论：本题很可能考查应对极端天气或者温度急剧变化的方式。听音时应重点关注讲话中所涉及的对象做某事的方式或者途径。

▶解析：讲话者谈及诸如鼠类的动物时讲到，它们在冬天到来之前会收集更多的食物并把它们藏起来，故D项说法符合原文内容。A项的后半句说的是冬眠动物的特征，不属于鼠类动物的特征，故可排除。B项在原文中未提及，故排除。C项提到的方式不属于鼠类，而是选择适应环境来度过严冬的动物所采用的方式，故也可排除。

25. A) To stay safe.

B) To save energy.

C) To keep company.

D) To protect the young.

Q: Why do some birds fly in groups when migrating, according to the speaker?

A）为了保证安全。

B）为了节省能量。

C）为了互相陪伴。

D）为了保护幼崽。

问：根据讲话者所说，为什么一些鸟类在迁徙的时候选择成群飞行？

▶解题思路：四个选项均以to开头，且都为不定式短语，表目的。

结论：本题很可能考查做某事的目的，听音时应重点关注讲话中所涉及的对象做某事的目的或出发点。

▶解析：当提到鸟类成群迁徙时，讲话者提到，有些鸟类的迁徙长途跋涉，不远万里，因此为了保证安全，许多鸟类选择成群飞行，A项说法与原文一致，故为正确选项。B、C和D项在原文中均未提及，故均可排除。
