Why did she say this? Why did he do that? Sometimes the reason is obvious. For example, someone is driving down the street, the light turns red, and they stop, why? W: Because they have to, legally I mean. M: Exactly! In this case the reason is obvious, so usually we don’t question it. But when the reason is not so obvious and especially when the behavior could have negative consequences, we’ll be more likely to feel a need to explain the cause of the behavior. Social psychologists have a term for this, for the process of 13 / 30 精品文档 explaining the causes of the behavior, it’s called “causal attribution”. And one theory suggests, there’ s a pattern in the way we go about attributing causes to people’s behavior. According to this theory, there are two categories of reasons: internal factors and external factors. Again, Lisa, say you’re driving down the road and all of a sudden some guy turns into the lane right in front of you, and you have to slam on your brakes to avoid an accident. How do you react? W: I’ll probably get very angry. M: Because„ W: Well, he’s not paying attention, he’s a bad driver. M: So you automatically attribute the driver’s behavior to an internal factor. He himself is to blame because he is careless. W: So if I said it was because of heavy traffic or something, I’d be attributing his behavior to an external factor, something beyond his control. M: Good. Now how do we usually explain our own negative behavior? W: We blame external factors. 14 / 30 精品文档 M: That’s right.

M: That sounds like a great opportunity too. What are you waiting for? Why not take advantage of it? W: I’d love to, especially as I’m studying computer science.

To get dressed and tie your shoes, you use one hand and she uses another. You do everything out together, even sitting on the same chair at lunch and riding on the same bicycle. That’s what life is like for six-year-old Betty and Abby. Like most 19 / 30 精品文档 twins, the two girls look very much alike. But unlike most twins, Betty and Abby share parts of the same body. Twins like Betty and Abby are rare. Only about0 sets are born in the United States each year. Few survive as long as Betty and Abby. That’s because twins often share vital organs, like a heart or brain. The shared organs are often badly shaped and may not be strong enough to support both twins. But Betty and Abby each has her own head, heart and stomach which function normally. They have three or four lungs which provide plenty of oxygen for both twins. Most of their completely shared organs lie below the waist. Betty and Abby live relatively normal lives. They attend a regular school, and each does her own school work. They prefer to do some projects together, though. For example, to cut out paper dolls, one twin holds the paper, while the other uses the scissors. But sometimes the girls don’t want to do the same thing. For example, sometimes they want to play with different toys. What do they do then? “We toss a coin,” says Abby. Questionstoare based on the passage you have just heard. 20 / 30 精品文档 26.

What does the passage tell us about twins who share parts of the same body? 【解析】选[A]。预览选项并结合第26题可知，本题考 查连体双胞胎的生活状态。短文中提到Few survive as long as Betty and Abby表明，这种连体人的存活率很小，故答 案为[A]。 【点睛】本题需要的信息比较分散，听音时要做好笔记。 28. What does the passage say about the education of the twin girls? 【解析】选[B]。预览选项可知，本题考查连体双胞胎 的教育情况。短文中提到They attend a regular school„ 表明，她们和健全人一样去学校上学，故答案为[B]。 【点睛】[B]中的go to对应短文中的attend。 Passage Two 【听前预测】预览三道题的选项，由building site, houses, land-scraping等可推知，短文很可能与建筑有关， 21 / 30 精品文档 涉及到建筑周围的植被、建筑的 设计 领导形象设计圆作业设计ao工艺污水处理厂设计附属工程施工组织设计清扫机器人结构设计 理念等。 I’d like to share with you today my experience with a new approach to building a house. It’s called Envelop Building. Essentially, what it means is that as you are building a house, you try to leave the landscape feature on the land, especially the vegetation, in the original condition. So what you are not doing is the usual practice of land-scraping, by which I mean literally scraping or cleaning the land of any and all the original plants. Why is the approach called Envelop Building? Because instead of clearing everything away, you let your original landscape elements envelop or surround your house. Let the vegetation physical features such as hills and slopes or interesting rock formations, constituted a significant part of the character of the building sight. The design of the house should take these features of the property into account. Actually integrating your original wild landscape with a house is not that new. The famous American architect Wright was doing it aboutyears ago. So we are in good company. Envelop Building is not as easy as it sounds though. It’s not just that you build your house and 22 / 30 精品文档 leave the land alone. By building, you are already damaging the original landscape. But as architects, we should try to work with environment, not against it. A creative architect can find ways to incorporate natural landscape into the overall design. For example, Wright used the massive boulders on the side of one of the most famous houses as part of the house foundation. Questionsto1 are based on the passage you have just heard. 29. According to the speaker, what does the term “land-scraping” refer to? 【解析】选[A]。文中提到land-scraping, by which I mean literally scraping or cleaning the land of„ original plants，由此可知答案为[A]。 【点睛】scrape意为“刮除，擦掉”。[A] 中的 Eliminating对应短文中的 scraping or cleaning, vegetation与plants同义。 30. In Envelop Building, what is done with the landscape features of a building site? 【解析】选[C]。预览选项可知，本题考查They与建筑 物的关系。短文在对Envelop Building进行了详细说明之 后，提到Actually integrating your original wild 23 / 30 精品文档 landscape with a house，即在进行Envelop Building时， 要把建筑周围的景观特征同建筑的设计融合到一起，故答案 为[C]。 【点睛】问题中的Envelop Building是听音重点。[C] 的内容是对integrating your original wild landscape with a house的同义转述。 31. Why does the speaker mention the architect Wright? 【解析】选[C]。预览选项可知，本题与Wright的情况 有关。根据Actually integrating your original wild landscape with a house is not that new„Wright was doing it aboutyears ago推断，说话人之所以提到建筑师Wright 是因为他曾在建筑中运用了Envelop Building的元素，故 答案为[C]。 Passage Three 【听前预测】选项中的young children’s brains, benefit from musical training / of music lessons等表 明，短文与音乐对少年儿童的大脑的影响有关。 “Music lessons may improve memory and learning ability in young children by promoting different patterns of brain development,” a study shows. After a year of musical training, children aged 24 / 30 精品文档 between and performed better at a standard memory test than did children who were not taught music. The findings suggest that music could be useful for building the learning capacity of young minds. Earlier studies have shown that older children given music lessons become better at IQ tests than those who are musically untrained, but this is the first to show such a benefit in children so young. Professor Laurel Trainor, of McMaster University in Hamilton, Ontario, also found clear differences in the ways in which children’s brains responded to sound after a year of musical training. “This is the first study to show that brain responses in young musically trained and untrained children change differently over the course of a year,” she said. “These changes are likely to be related to the cognitive benefit that is seen with musical training.” Professor Trainor’s team looked at 1children, of whom had just started extra-curricular music lessons and of whom were not being taught any music except that included as a standard part of their school curriculum. During the year all 1children had their brains examined 25 / 30 精品文档 four times using MEG, and each child was played two types of sound — white noise and a violin tone. The MEG measurements showed that all children responded more to violin sounds than to white noise, reflecting a preference for meaningful tones, and their response times fell over the course of the year as their brains matured. Questionstoare based on the passage you have just heard. 32. What is this passage mainly about? 【解析】选[D]。短文开头提到，Music lessons„improve memory and learning ability，接下来的几段都是有关这 方面的研究的介绍，故答案为[D]。 【点睛】短文主旨一般在短文开头和短文末尾有所提 示，要给予足够的重视。 33. What can be concluded from the passage? 【解析】选[B]。短文中间提到，After a year of musical training, children aged between and performed better at a standard memory test than did children who were not taught music，即接受过一年音乐培训的四到六岁的儿 童在标准记忆测试中表现得比没有经?过音乐培训的儿童要 好，故答案为[B]。 26 / 30 精品文档 【点睛】选项都是将两个对象进行比较，故听音时应留意表比较的关键词。 34. What do we know about the twelve children tested in the study? 【解析】选[D]。短文最后提到一项研究，研究对象为12个儿童，其中6个儿童接受额外的音乐课程，而另外6个儿童按正常的学校课表上课，由此可知，其实这12个儿童都参加了学校的音乐课，故答案为[D]。 【点睛】关键是听清这12个孩子参加音乐课程的培训情况。 35. What do we know from the MEG measurements? 【解析】选[A]。短文最后提到，每个儿童都要辨别两种声音:白噪音和小提琴音调，结果显示，儿童对小提琴音调的反应多于白噪音，故答案为[A]。 【点睛】问题中的the MEG measurements是听音的关键，短文中出现相关词汇时应注意，showed that后的句子即为答案所在。 Section C .【解析】abandoned。空前的unwanted children及were表明，本空应填一动词的过去分词，表示被动，且该动词有“不要”之意。abandon意为“离弃，抛弃”。 7.【解析】survive。空前的否定助动词didn’t表明， 27 / 30 精品文档 本空应填一原?形动词。上句是说古时候儿童的悲惨遭遇，最后 总结 初级经济法重点总结下载党员个人总结TXt高中句型全总结.doc高中句型全总结.doc理论力学知识点总结pdf :大部分儿童都不能幸存下来。 .【解析】passions。空前的形容词表明，本空应填一名词。religious passions意为“宗教情感”。由空后的were可知此处为复数形式。 .【解析】severe。空前的and表明，本空应填一形容词，且表达的意思与harsh相近，都有“残酷、恶劣”之意。此处是说对儿童的态度改变了，即上文提到的对待儿童的残忍的态度，severe意为“严厉的”。 0.【解析】accorded。空前的主语及副词表明，本空应填一过去式形式的动词。此处是说“社会慢慢地赋予儿童一种更重要的角色。” 1.【解析】gradually。此处是说通过法律保护儿童，gradually意为“逐渐地”。 .【解析】decades。空前的few表明，本空应填一名词复数。此句意为“在过去几十年，父母开始更多地关注儿童的需求。” 3.【解析】reserved。空前的主语及is表明，本空应填一过去分词形式的动词。此处是说“教育不再只是少数人的权利。” 4.【答案】With so many now able to go to college, many educators feel that we have too many students and 28 / 30 精品文档 too few qualified teachers 【Main Points】With many children now able to go to college, educators feel we’ve too many students and too few qualified teachers 5.【答案】many children are growing up alienated from society and with no respect for law or parental authority 【Main Points】many children are growing up indifferent to society and without respect for law or parental authority .【答案】educational goals for students should be aimed towards their future jobs rather than provide a generalized higher education 【Main Points】educational goals for students should be aimed at their future jobs rather than offer a generalized higher education 29 / 30 精品文档 谢 谢 阅 读～ 30 / 30
