Part II Listening Comprehension (25 minutes)
Section C
Directions:In this section,you will hear three passages Atthe end of each passage,you will hear three or four questions.Both the passage and the questions will bespoken only once.After you hear a question,you must choose the best answer from the four choices marked A,B,Cand D.Then mark the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet I with a single line through the centre.
Questions 16 to 18 are based on the passage you have just heard.
Homework is an important part of schooling, but the purposes of giving children homework will change as they grow older. (16) At the primary level, the main aim is to cultivate good habits, like learning to plan and exercising self-discipline. During the secondary school years, extending what is learned at school is positively related to academic achievement, so the content of homework becomes more important.
So how can you help your child do their best?
(17) Creating an ideal working environment will make it easier for them to get down to their assignments quickly. Make sure it’s free of distractions, and- for primary school children at least-somewhere near you, so you can answer questions and offer encouragement.
You probably have to help younger children plan their session, but it’s important that by the end of primary school it’s second nature. Get them to tell you everything they have to do. Then encourage them to establish an order in which they do work.
(18) When there are several different assignments, make sure they begin with one they enjoy, so it seems easy to get started. It’s best to take on the most difficult task second - once they’ re settled, but before they get tired.
If older children have more than an hour of homework, encourage them to schedule a short break to stretch.
If you encourage them to tell you what they’ve learned, they’ll absorb the information more deeply and remember it more readily
家庭作业是学校教育的重要组成部分,但给孩子布置家庭作业的目的会随着他们长大而改变。(16)在初级阶段,主要目的是培养良好的习惯,比如学会做计划以及练习自律的能力。在中学阶段,延申在学校学到的知识与学习成绩呈正相关,所以家庭作业 的内容变得更加重要。
那么,你如何能帮助你的孩子做到最好呢?
(17) 创造一个理想的学习环境可以让孩子更容易尽快开始做作业。确保环境里没有干扰,并且——至少对小学生来说——在你附近做作业,这样你就可以解答问题并给予鼓励。
你可能需要帮助年幼的孩子计划他们的课程,但重要的是,要让规划课程在小学结束前成为他们的第二天性。让他们告诉你所有他们要做的事,然后在他们做这些事时鼓励他们建立任务秩序。
(18) 当面对不同任务时,要确保孩子从喜欢的开始做,这样开始的话就显得很容易。最好是把最难的任务放在第二位——要放在任务确定下来之后,但在他们感到疲惫之前。
如果年龄较大的孩子有超过一个小时的家庭作业,鼓励他们安排一个短暂的休息来舒展身体。
如果你鼓励他们告诉你他们学到了什么,他们会更深刻地吸收知识,并且更容易记住所学内容。

Questions 19 to 21 are based on the passage you have just heard.
(19) Workers at Mexican oil company will receive a healthy incentive of almost $300 a year if they meet certain body weight standards. To qualify for the bonus, they must maintain a healthy weight. For those who are overweight or obese, they could receive the bonus if they reduce their weight by 10% during the year.
Some applaud the policy as fair, because it rewards both the individuals who maintain a healthy weight and those who are working towards achieving it.
(20) But critics say the policy contradicts recommendations by many health experts, who warn that a person’s weight is influenced by genetic and environmental factors. That means weight can be hard for individuals to control, which makes the bonus unfair.
Some experts say the policy is inconsistent with the science of what we know about body weight regulation. These experts argue that focusing on wage is the wrong approach. (21) A more productive method of encouraging health among employees is to promote healthy behaviors. For example, companies can give workers gym memberships, or encourage participation in lectures on healthy eating and living. They can also reduce sweets and provide healthier snacks in the office and healthier meals at the company canteen. Or they can give employees more time during their lunch break to exercise. These are much better and much more productive ways for companies to move forward on their employees ’wellbeing.
(19)墨西哥石油公司的员工如果达到 一定的体重标准,每年将获得近 300 美元的健康奖金。为了获得奖金,他们必须保持健康的体重。对于那些超重或肥胖的人,如果 他们在一年内减掉 10%的体重,就可以获得奖金。

(20)但有批评人士表示,这项奖励政策违背了健康专家们的建议,专家们警告说一 个人的体重受到遗传和环境因素的影响,这 意味着个人很难控制自己的体重,这使得这 一奖励政策有失公平。
一些专家表示,该政策与我们所知道的体重调节科学不一致。这些专家认为,关注 工资对于改善健康来说是一个错误的策略。 (21)鼓励员工关注健康更有效的方法是提倡健康的行为。例如,公司可以为员工提供 健身房会员,或鼓励他们参加有关健康饮食和健康生活的讲座。他们还可以减少甜食,在办公室提供更健康的零食,在公司食堂提供更健康的餐饮。或者,他们可以在午休时间给员工更多的时间锻炼身体。对于公司来 说,这些都是更好、更有成效的方式来增加员工的福祉。

Questions 22 to 25 are based on the passage you have just heard.
(22) Campaigners have warned that the British government is not doing enough to prevent left-handed pupils from falling behind their peers. They claim that thousands of children are still being " penalized for being left-handed. This is due to a lack of action from ministers, who’ve failed to take any meaningful action for years.
It is feared that a failure to address early- year challenges, such as poor handwriting, leads to much more serious problems down the line with these pupils facing reduced career prospects.
(23) Studies in recent years show that left- handed children are more likely to suffer with learning difficulties and their scores are lower on IQ tests.
Campaigners feel it’s strange that children in British schools are penalized because they happen to be left-handed. They don’t understand why successive governments have failed to act on this. (24) They want the department of education to record which children are left-handed and what their educational attainments are, since they makeup some 10% of the population.
In early-year education, left-handed children are struggling and making a mess of their handwriting. Educators don’t knowhow to deal with this. In many cases, there is no active help and a lack of teacher training. (25) Campaigners point out that a high percentage of the prison population is left-handed.

Part II Listening Comprehension (25 minutes)
Section C
Directions: In this section, you will hear three passages. At the end of each passage, you will hear three or four questions. Both the passage and the questions will be spoken only once After you hear a question,you must choose the best answer from the four choices marked A, B, C and D. Then mark the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 1 with a single line through the centre.
Questions 16 to 18 are based on the passage you have just heard.
(16) A new study carried out by the University of Lincoln has found a link between the personalities of cat owners and the behaviour and wellbeing of their cats. The findings suggest that, just as a parent’s personality can affect the personality of a child, the same is true for a cat and its owner.
Owners-defined as individuals with high levels of anxiety, fear, anger, depression and loneliness –were more likely to have cats with behavioural issues.
Such cats displayed more aggressive and anxious behavioural styles as well as more stress-related sickness. They were also more likely to have an ongoing medical condition and be overweight.
The research also found that mentally well-adjusted owners had calmer, happier and healthier cats.
The researchers explained that “Many owners regard their pets as a family member, and form close social bonds with them.” (17) The majority of owners want to provide the best care for their pets and it’s therefore possible that pets could be affected by the way their owners interact with and manage them. (18) The study highlights an important relationship between our personalities and the wellbeing of our pets. Further research is needed to investigate the causal nature of this relationship and to look at how owners’ personalities are directly influencing their pets’behaviour and wellbeing.
It is possible that the wellbeing of pets is driven by the underlying nature of the owner, not simply by their conscious decisions and behaviours.
(16)林肯大学的一项新研究发现,猫主人的性格与其猫的行为和健康有关系。研究 结果表明,正如父母的性格能够影响孩子的性格,主人的性格同样也会影响到他们猫的性格。
认定为有高度焦虑、恐惧、愤怒、抑郁和孤独的猫主人更有可能养有行为问题的猫。
这样的猫表现出更强的攻击性和焦虑的行为方式,以及更多的与压力有关的疾病。他们也更有可能正在进行医疗治疗和出现超重问题。
研究还发现,心理适应良好的主人拥有更平静、更快乐、更健康的猫。
研究人员解释说,“许多主人把宠物视为家庭成员,与它们建立了密切的社会关系。(17)大多数主人想为他们的宠物提供最好的照顾,因此,宠物可能会受到主人与他们互动和管理他们的方式的影响。(18) 这项研究显示了主人性格与宠物健康之间的重要关系。我们还需要更进一步的研究来查明这种关系的实质,并看看主人的性格是如何直接影响他们的宠物的行为和健康的。
宠物的幸福可能是由主人的潜在本性决定的,而不仅仅是它们有意识的决定和行为作用的结果。

Questions 19 to 21 are based on the passage you have just heard.
(19-1) “One 60-minute run can add seven hours to your life.” This was a claim made by The Times last week. The claim was based on a new review of studies about the effects of running. (19-2) The review concluded that on average runners live three years longer than non-runners and that running does more to extend life than any other form of exercise. But there’s more to running than its health benefits. (20) Research published in recent years has shown that running changes your brain and mind in some fascinating ways from increasing your brain function to regulating your emotions. However, the precise effects vary according to whether you engage in short, fast running or long-distance running
For example, in one study, researchers compared participants’ ability to learn new words after several minutes of intense running and after 40 minutes of gentle running. Participants were able to learn 20 percent faster after the intense running and they showed a superior memory when tested again a week later.
In another study, researchers asked volunteers to jog for 30 minutes and then showed them clips from a sad movie. Participants who usually struggled to handle negative emotions were more intensely affected by the sad clips, just as you’d expect. (21) But crucially, this was less so if they had completed the 30-minute jog. The researchers said moderate exercise appears to have helped those participants to be less vulnerable to the impact of the sad movie.
(19-1)“一次 60 分钟的跑步可以增加 7 个小时的寿命。”这是《纽约时报》上周发表的一篇文章。这一说法是基于一项关于跑步影响的新研究综述。(19-2)这项研究得出的结论是,跑步者的平均寿命比不跑步者长 3 年,跑步比其他任何形式的锻炼都更能延年益寿。但跑步的好处远不止于在健康方面。 (20)最近发表的研究表明,跑步能够以一些有趣的方式改善大脑功能,还能调节情绪。但是精确的效果因你是短跑、快跑还是长跑而异。
例如,在一项研究中,研究人员比较了参与者在几分钟高强度跑步和 40 分钟平缓跑步后学习新单词的能力。在高强度跑步后,参与者的学习速度提高了 20%,一周后 再次测试时,他们表现出了更好的记忆力。
在另一项研究中,研究人员让志愿者慢跑 30 分钟,然后给他们看一部悲剧电影片段。正如你所预料的那样,那些很难控制负面情绪的参与者更容易受到悲剧电影片段的影响。(21) 但关键的是,经过 30 分钟的慢跑运动后,这种情况就会有所缓解。研究人员因此得出结论,适度的锻炼似乎可以帮助这些参与者的情绪不那么容易受到悲伤电影的影响。
2021-12-02-19.—开头第四句—原词复现两个“extend life”
- A. People should do more running than mere walking.
B. Running is the best exercise for extending one’s life.
C. People should exercise at least 60 minutes every day.
D. Running is the easiest form of exercise for most people.
19. A.人们应该多跑步,而不仅仅是走路。
B.跑步是延年益寿的最佳运动。
C.人们应该每天至少锻炼60分钟。
D.对大多数人来说,跑步是最简单的运动方式。
19.What did the new review of studies claim?
B【精析】细节推断题。短文开头提到,一项关于跑步锻炼的研究称,一次 60 分钟的跑步运动能够增加 7 个小时的寿命;研究同时指出,经常跑步运动的人比其他人的寿命平均多三年,跑步比其他运动形式更能使人延年益寿。因此,答案为 B。

D【精析】细节推断题。短文末尾提到,在另一项研究中,研究者要求志愿者进行 30 分钟慢跑后观看悲剧电影片段。那些很难控制负面情绪的人更容易受到电影的影响,但经过 30 分钟慢跑运动后,这种情况有所缓解。研究者因此得出结论:适度运动能减轻悲剧电影对人们情绪的影响。因此,答案为 D。
Questions 22 to 25 are based on the passage you have just heard.
(22-1) Welcome to the tour of the Hill House. This house built in 1904 is one of the most well-known works of Charles Hill, the famous architect. It was designed and built for a local entrepreneur and his family. (22-2) Before starting the tour, let me give you a brief introduction about the design of this amazing building.
(23) Prior to beginning his design, the architect spent some time in the client’s old home, observing their life and studying their habits. This meant that he could design the house according to the needs of the family.
(24) The client’s main desire was to have a home with the unique design, so the architect was given complete freedom. The building style is radically different from what was the fashion of the period. At the time, most large homes were constructed of timber and brick. This one, however, is made of concrete,a novel construction material in those days. The interior of the house, including fittings and furniture, was also designed by the same person. Most of the furniture you will see is original and in good condition. However, (25) those pieces in the children’s bedrooms are copies built to the designs of the architect. Fortunately, all the blueprints for both the building and its contents have been preserved, so we’ve been able to replace badly damaged furniture. (22-3) Let’s begin our tour, starting from the rooms.
(22-1) 欢迎大家参观希尔庄园。这座庄园建于 1904 年,是著名建筑师查尔斯·希 尔最著名的作品之一,它是为一位当地企业家和他的家人设计和建造的。(22-2)在开始参观之前,让我给你们简单介绍一下这座令 人惊叹的建筑的设计。
(23) 在开始设计之前,建筑师在客户的老家中待了一段时间里,观察他们的生活和研究他们的习惯。这意味着他可以根据家庭 的需要设计房子。
(24)客户的要求是有一个设计独特的房子,并给予建筑师充分的自由设计权。这个庄园的建筑风格与那个时期的时尚风格截然不同。当时,大多数大房子都是用木材和砖块建造的。然而,这个庄园是用混凝土建造的,这在当时是一种新颖的建筑材料。房子的内部,包括配件和家具,也是由同一个人设计的。你将看到的大多数家具都是原先的而且保存完好。然而,(25) 孩子们卧室里的家具都是依据建筑师的设计建造的复制品。幸运的是,建筑和里面的所有设计图纸都被保存了下来,所以我们已经能够更换严重损坏的家具。(22-3)让我们先从房间开始参观吧。
