Passage One
In college, time is scarce, and consequently, very precious. At the same time, expenses in college pile up surprisingly quickly. A part time job is a good way to balance costs while ensuring there is enough time left over for both academic subjects and after-class activities.
If you are a college student looking for a part time job, the best place to start your job search is right on campus. There are tons of on-campus job opportunities, and as a student, you’ll automatically be given hiring priority. Plus, on-campus jobs eliminate commuting time, and could be a great way to connect with academic and professional resources at your university. Check with your school’s career service or employment office for help to find a campus job. Of course, there are opportunities for part-time work off-campus, too. If you spend a little time digging for the right part time jobs, you’ll save yourself time when you find a job that leaves you with enough time to get your school work done, too. If you are a college student looking for work but worry you won’t have enough time to devote to academic subjects, consider working as a study hall or a library monitor. Responsibilities generally include supervising study spaces to ensure that a quiet atmosphere is maintained. It’s a pretty easy job, but one with lots of downtime-which means you will have plenty of time to catch up on reading, do homework or study for an exam.
Q16: What does the speaker say about college students applying for on-campus jobs?
Q17: What can students do to find a campus job according to the speaker?
Q18: What does the speaker say is a library monitor’s responsibility?
Passage Two
Agricultural workers in green tea fields near Mt. Kenya are gathering the tea leaves. It is beautiful to see. The rows of tea bushes are straight. All appears to be well. But the farmers who planted the bushes are worried. Nelson Kibara is one of them. He has been growing tea in the Kerugoya area for 40 years.
He says the prices this year have been so low that he has made almost no profit. He says he must grow different kinds of tea if he is to survive.
Mr. Kibara and hundreds of other farmers have been removing some of their tea bushes and planting a new kind of tea developed by the Tea Research Foundation of Kenya. Its leaves are purple and brown. When the tea is boiled, the drink has a purple color. Medical researchers have studied the health benefits of the new tea. They say it is healthier than green tea and could be sold for a price that is three to four times higher than the price of green tea.
But Mr. Kibara says he has not received a higher price for his purple tea crop.
He says the market for the tea is unstable and he is often forced to sell his purple tea for the same price as green tea leaves. He says there are not enough buyers willing to pay more for the purple tea.
Q19. Why have tea farmers in Kenya decided to grow purple tea?
Q20. What do researchers say about purple tea?
Q21. What does Mr. Kibara find about purple tea?
Passage Three
Today's consumers want beautiful handcrafted s to wear and to have for their home environment. They prefer something unique and they demand quality. Craftsmen today are meeting this demand. People and homes are showing great change as more and more unique handcrafted items become available. Handcrafts are big business. No long does a good craftsman have to work in a job he dislikes all day and then try to create at night. He has earned his professional status. He is now a respected member of society. Parts of the fun of being a craftsman is meeting other craftsmen. They love to share their ideas and materials and help others find markets for their work. Craftsmen have helped educate consumers to make wise choices. They help them become aware of design and technique. They help them relate their choice to its intended use. They often involve consumers in trying the craft themselves. When a group of craftsmen expends to include more members, a small craft organization is formed. Such an organization does a lot in training workshops in special media, craft marketing techniques, craft fairs and sales, festivals, TV appearances and demonstrations. State art councils help sponsor local arts and crafts festivals which draw crowds of tourist consumers. This boosts the local economy considerably because tourists not only buy crafts, but they also use the restaurants and hotels and other services of the area.
Q22. What does the speaker say about today's consumers?
Q23. What does the speaker say about a good craftsman in the past?
Q24. What do craftsmen help consumers do?
Q25. Why do state art councilshelp sponsor local arts and crafts festivals?

News report 1
听力原文：
【Q1】A poisonous fish which has a sting strong enough to kill a human is invading the Mediterranean, warned scientists. The International Union for the Conservation of Nature (UICN) has raised concerns after the poisonous fish was spotted in the waters around Turkey, Cyprus and the eastern Mediterranean. Native to the South Pacific and Indian Ocean, the potentially deadly fish has poisonous hooks and a painful sting capable of killing people. Although fatalities are rare, the stings can cause extreme pain and stop people breathing. The fish, often known as Devil Firefish, is a highly invasive species. 【Q2】And environmentalists fear its arrival could endanger other types of marine life. After being spotted in the Mediterranean, a marine scientist says,“The fish is spreading, and that’s a cause for concern.”
题目：
Q1: What is reported in the news?
A)A deadly fish has been spotted in the Mediterranean waters.
B) Invasive species are driving away certain native species.
C)The Mediterranean is a natural habitat of Devil Firefish.
D)Many people have been attacked by Devil Firefish.
解析：
A选项为正确答案。新闻题的第一题尤其是主旨题的正确答案往往在第一句，考点是选项关键词fish、Mediterranean出现在第一句原文。难点是同意替换了poisonous以及strong enough to kill a human有毒的,足以让一个人丧命就等同于题目的deadly。B选项invasive为误导词跟原文中invading相对应但文中说的是一条鱼a fish并非species多个物种，此外并未提及driving away 和native species。而C、D选项中的Devil Firefish 所出现的位置过于靠后，不符合顺序出题原则，且并未提及natural habitat 和 people have been attacked故排除。
题目：
Q2: What is the environmentalists’ concern of the spread of Devil Firefish in the Mediterranean?
A) It could add to greenhouse emissions.
B)It could disrupt the food chains there.
C)It could pose a threat to other marine species.
D)It could badly pollute the surrounding waters.
解析：
C选项为正确答案。考点错误答案排除以及同意替换。文中并未提及A选项的greenhouse emissions、B选项的food chains、D选项的pollute surrounding waters. 且正确答案C选项中 endanger other types of marine使其他海洋生物有危险等同于pose a threat to other marine species.对其他海洋物种有威胁。
News report 2
【Q3】Almost half the centre of Paris will be accessible only by foot or bicycle this Sunday to mark World Car-Free Day.【Q4】This is in response to rising air pollution that made Paris the most polluted city in the world for a brief time. Mayor Anne Hidalgo promoted the first World Car Free Day last year. Hidalgo also has supported a Paris Breathes Day. On the first Sunday of every month, Paris clears traffic from eight lanes of the main road. About 400 miles of streets will be closed to cars. It is expected to bring significant reduction in pollution levels. ‘Last year’s car-free day showed a 40% drop in pollution levels in some parts of the city, according to an independent air pollution monitor’, reports the Guardian, ‘and some levels dropped by 50% in the city centre.’
题目：
Q3: What will happen on World Car Free Day in Paris?
A) Cars will not be allowed to enter the city.
B) About half of its city center will be closed to cars.
C) Buses will be the only vehicles allowed on its streets.
D) Pedestrians will have free access to the city.
解析：
B选项为正确答案。新闻题第一道题的正确答案位置大多在第一句，定位词half centre.考点为同意替换 almost=about, centre of Paris= city center, accessible only by foot or bicycle以及car-free= closed to cars只有步行或自行车可以进入以及无车替换对于汽车不开放。难点为free此时是无的意思又比如sugar free无糖，而非自由。C、D选项中的buses和pedestrains均未提及。误导选项为A并非车不可以进入城市而是城市中心。
题目：
Q4: What motivated the mayor of Paris to promote the first World Car Free Day in her city?
A) The rising air pollution in Paris.
B) The worsening global warming.
C) The ever-growing cost of petrol.
D) The unbearable traffic noise.
解析：
A选项为正确答案。定位词rising air pollution以及Paris与原文一致。此外BCD三个选项中的 global warming、cost of petrol、traffic noise均未提及。难点为正确答案就在听力原文中的'第二句，故得出第一题的答案切勿停留，集中注意力在下一道题的选项关键词上。也可通过排除法做题。
News report 3
【Q5】A Philippine fisherman was feeling down on his luck when a house fire forced him to clear out his possessions and change locations. Then, a good luck charm that he had kept under his bed changed his life.
The unidentified man had fished out a giant pearl from the ocean when his anchor got stuck on the rock while sailing off a coastal island in the Philippines ten years ago.
【Q6】When he was forced to sell it, the shocked tourist agent at Puerto Princesca told him that 【Q7】the 77-pound giant pearl that he had kept hidden in his rundown wooden house was the biggest pearl in the world, which was valued at 76 million.
The pearl of Allah, which is currently on display in a New York museum, only weighs 14 pounds. That is five times smaller than the pearl that the fisherman just handed in.
The monstrous pearl, measured at 1 foot wide and 2.2 feet long, is going to be verified by local experts and international authorities before hopefully going on display to attract more tourists in the little town.
题目:
Q5: What happened to the Philippine fisherman one day?
A) Many of his possessions were stolen.
B) His house was burnt down in a fire.
C) His fishing boat got wrecked on a rock.
D) His good luck charm sank into the sea.
解析：
B选项为正确答案。新闻题第一道题的正确答案往往在第一句。定位词house fire。考点为推理大火迫使他清走财产以及转移到其他地方推理出他的房子被烧毁。其中难点是D选项中的good luck与原文中feeling down on his luck倒霉，刚好是反义词。A选项并未说个人财产被偷were stolen。也未提及C选项中渔船破坏。
题目:
Q6: What was the fisherman forced to do?
A) Change his fishing locations.
B) Find a job in a travel agency.
C) Spend a few nights on a small island.
D) Sell the pearl he had kept for years.
解析：
D选项为正确答案。定位词 sell pearl.其中B、C选项均未提及，但A选项change location 为误导选项，并未说钓鱼的地点需更换且change location都出现在第一句，根据顺序出题原则以及绝大多数新闻题的特征每道题对应不同的答案句，故排除。
题目:
Q7: What did the fisherman learn from the tourist agent?
A) A New York museum has the largest pearl.
B) The largest pearl in the world weighs 14 pounds.
C) His monstrous pearl was extremely valuable.
D) His pearl could be displayed in a museum.
解析：
C选项为正确答案。较难题，题目存在2处同意转述，其中monstrous=giant, extremely valuable= 76 million. AB选项均不对.D选项虽然正确但是并非是tourist agent所说，故为误导选项。
Section B
Conversation 1
WOMAN: Mr. Smith, It’s a pleasure meeting you!
Man: Nice to meet you, too. What can I do for you?
WOMAN: Well, I’m here to show you what our firm can do for you.Astro Consultants has branches in over fifty countries, offering different business services. 【Q8】We’re a global company with 75 years of history. And our clients include some of the world’s largest companies.

WOMAN: We advise businesses on all matters, from market analysis to legal issues. Anything a business like yours could meet. Our firm offers expert advice.

A) It boasts a fairly long history.

解析：
A选项为正确答案。对话题注意第一个回合及双方各说一段，尤其注意是否存在问句，问句后的答案极有可能是正确答案，就比如这道题，定位词history.这道题的考点是词汇boast表示以…为豪，以相当长的历史为豪对应原文拥有75年的历史。此外B选项并未提及construction materials。CD两个选项均为误导信息，一般信息为真一般为未提及C选项并非是75 offices，D选项并非50 business partners。
题目：
Q9: What does the man say about his own company?
A) It has about 50 employees.
B) It was started by his father.
C) It is a family business.

题目：
Q11: What does the woman suggest doing to help the man’s company?
A) Conducting a financial analysis for it.
B) Providing training for its staff members
C) Seeking new ways to increase its exports.

Conversation 2
Woman: Wow, congratulations, Simon! The place looks absolutely amazing!
Man: Really? You think so?
W: Of course. I love it. It looks like you had a professional interior designer. But you didn’t, did you?
M: No. I did it all by myself with a little help from my brother, Greg. He’s actually in the construction business, which was really helpful.
W: 【Q12】Honestly, I’m impressed! I know I can probably repaint the walls in my house over a weekend or something, but not a full renovation. Where did you get your ideas? I wouldn’t know where to start.
M: 【Q13】Well, for a while now, I’ve been regularly buying home design magazines. Every now and then, I’d saved the pictures I liked. Believe it or not, I have a full notebook of magazine pages. Since by overall style was quite minimal, I thought and hoped a whole renovation wouldn’t be too difficult. And sure enough, with Greg’s help, it was very achievable.
W: Wasn’t it expensive? I have imagined a project like this could be.
M: 【Q14】Actually, it was surprisingly affordable. I managed to sell a lot of my old furniture and put that extra money towards the new material. Greg was also able to get some discount materials from a recent project he was working on as well.
W: Great! If you don’t mind, I’d like to pick your brain a bit more. 【Q15】Johansson and I are thinking of renovating our sitting room, not the whole house, not yet anyway. And we’d love to get some inspiration from your experience. Are you free to come over for a coffee early next week?
Q12: What do we learn about the woman from the conversation?
A) She is a real expert at house decorations.
B) She is well informed about the design business.
C) She is attracted by the color of the sitting room.
D) She is really impressed by the man’s house.
解析：
D选项为正确答案。这道题的难点在于答案并非在对话最开始，但开头的信息同样重要，开头女人祝贺了男人且女人说I’m really impressed!得知这句话是对男人说的对应D选项。B选项为误导信息但并未提及女人了解design business.其他选项信息均未提及。
题目：
Q13: Where did the man get his ideas for the project?
A) From his younger brother Greg.
B) From home design magazines.
C) From a construction businessman.
D) From a professional interior designer.
解析：
B选项为正确答案。视听一致简单题，尤其well等词后极容易跟正确答案。
题目：
Q14: What did the man say about the project he recently completed?
A) The effort was worthwhile.
B) The style was fashionable.
C) the cost was affordable.
D) the effect was unexpected.
题目：
C选项为正确答案。视听基本一致。在分析选项时考生需集中注意力于每个选项的形容词 worthwhile, fashionable, affordable, unexpected。其中原文只提及了affordable.
Q15: Why does the woman invite the man to her house next week?
A) She’d like him to talk with Jonathan about a new project.
B) She wants him to share his renovation experience with her.
C) She wants to discuss the house decoration budget with him.
D) She’d like to show him around her newly-renovated house.
解析：
B选项为正确答案。这道题属于视听基本一致，需分析选项信息，其中D选项为误导信息有renovated house但并未说带男人参观，而B选项中的renovation experience都出现，故为正确答案。
Section C
Passage 1
【Q16】Removing foreign objects from ears and noses costs England almost 3m a year, a study suggests. Children were responsible for the vast majority of cases - 95% of objects removed from noses and 85% from ears. Every year, an average of 1,218 nose and 2,479 ear removals took place between 2010 and 2016.According to England's Hospital Episode Statistics, children aged one to four were the most likely to need help from doctors for a foreign object in their nose. 【Q17】Five to nine year olds come to the hospital with something in their ear the most. Jewelry items accounted for up to 40% of cases in both the ears and noses of children. Paper and plastic toys were the items removed next most from noses. Cotton buds and pencils were also found in ears.
【Q18】According to the study, the occurrence of foreign objects in children is generally attributed to curiosity. Children have an impulse to explore their noses and ears. This results in the accidental entry of foreign objects.Any ear, nose and throat surgeon has many weird stories about wonderful objects found in the noses and ears of children and adults. Batteries can pose a particular danger. In all cases, prevention is better than cure. This is why many toys contain warnings about small parts. Recognizing problems early and seeking medical attention is important.
题目：
Q16: What does England spend an annual 3m on?
A) Providing routine care for small children.
B) Paying hospital bills for emergency cases.
C) Doing research on ear, nose and throat diseases.
D) Removing objects from patients’ noses and ears.
解析：
D选项为正确答案。视听基本一致。听力篇章第一道题的答案往往在前三句，需要考生集中注意力听开头的每一句，一边听一边对应选项中的关键词，其中removing, objects noses, ears四个单词都与原文重合。得出答案就紧盯下一道题的关键词。
题目：
Q17: What do we learn from England's Hospital Episode Statistics?
A) Many children like to smell things they find or play with.
B) Many children like to put foreign objects in their mouths.
C) Five-to nine-year-olds are the most likely to put things in their ears.
D) Children aged one to four are often more curious than older children.
解析：
C选项为正确答案。这道题属于视听基本一致，存在同意替换，其中things这个词包括文章中的Jewelry items ,paper and plastic toys, cotton buds and pencils，其他选项中的词都可以在文章中定位到，例如：赤橙黄绿青蓝紫都属于颜色，所以不算难。
题目：
Q18: What is generally believed to account for children putting things in their ears or noses?
A) They tend to act out of impulse.
B) They want to attract attention.
C) They are unaware of the potential risks.
D) They are curious about these body parts.
解析：
D选项为正确答案。According to the study, report, research, survey这样的表达后极容易出现正确答案，可以通过此短语帮助定位。这道题的难点是词性的改变curious在文中是curiosity. B,C选项均未提及，误导选项是A中的impulse，而这个选项的错误点在于并不是孩子们往往很冲动，而是他们对于探索他们身体的部分尤其是耳朵和鼻子很冲动。
Passage 2
Good morning, I’d like to talk to you about my charity ReBicycle. But before that, let me introduce someone. This is Leila Rahimi.She was so scared when she first moved to New Zealand that she struggled to leave the house and would spend days working up the courage to walk to the supermarket for basic supplies.After a few months of being quite down and unhappy, she was invited to join a local bike club.【Q19】At this time, ReBicycle got involved and gave Leila a second-hand bicycle. In weeks, her depression had begun to ease as she cycled. The bicycle totally changed her life, giving her hope and a true feeling of freedom.
【Q20】To date, ReBicycle has donated more than 200 bikes to those in need, and is now expanding bike-riding lessons as demand soars. With a bike, you can travel farther but for almost no cost. Thethree hours a day that used to spend on walking to and from English language lessons has been reduced to just one hour. Our bike-riding lessons are so successful that we are urgently looking for more volunteers. Learning to ride a bike is almost always more difficult as an adult, and this can take days and weeks, rather than hours. 【Q21】So, if any of you have some free time during the weekend, please come join us at ReBicycle and make a difference in someone’s life.
题目：
Q19: What did ReBicycle do to help Leila Rahimi?
A) It paid for her English lessons.
B) It gave her a used bicycle.
C) It delivered her daily necessities.
D) it provided her with physical therapy.
解析：
D选项为正确答案。视听基本一致存在同意转述的情况used bicycle=second hand bicycle.但这道题的难点在于第一题的正确答案句靠后，所以考生需集中注意力听四个选项中的关键词，A,C,D中的信息均未提及。
题目：
Q20: What is ReBicycle doing to help those in need?
A) Expanding bike-riding lessons.
B) Asking local people for donations.
C) Providing free public transport.
D) Offering walking tours to visitors.
解析：
A选项为正确答案。视听一致，选项信息与原文信息完全重合，简单题。其他选项均只重合一半的信息，故排除。
题目：
Q21: What do we learn from the passage about the ReBicycle?
A) It is a language school.
B) It is a charity organization.
C) It is a counseling center.
D) It is a sports club.
解析：
B选项为正确答案。推理题，难点在于需要听懂文章的内容，并且知道四个选项中的关键词的含义，以及需要听问题，根据文章中的内容这是一个慈善组织，其中A选项为误导选项不听问题极容易选择这个选项，这个选项说的是文中的小女孩的通勤上学时间而非ReBicycle是什么，故排除。
Passage 3
Thanks to the International Space Station we know quite a bit about the effects of low gravity on the human body, but NASA scientists want to learn more. 【Q22】To that end, they have been studying how other species deal with low gravity, specifically focusing on mice.The results are both interesting and humorous.
The scientists first send some mice in a specially designed cage to the International Space Station. The cage allowed them to study the behavior of the mice remotely from Earth via video. 【Q23】As you noticed in the video, the mice definitely seem uncomfortableat the beginning of the experiment. They move around clumsily, drifting within the small confines of the cage and do their best to figure out which way is up, but without success. 【Q24】However, it’s not long before the mice begin to catch on. They adapt remarkably well to their new environment and even using the lack of gravity to their advantage as they push themselves around the cage.
That’s when things really get wild.The 11thdayof the experiment shows the mice are not just dealing with the gravity change but actually seem to be enjoying it. Several of the mice are observed running around the cage walls.
【Q25】The scientists wanted to see whether the mice would continue doing the same kinds of activities they were observed doing on Earth.The study showed thatthe mice kept much of their routines intact, including cleaning themselves and eating when hungry.
Q22 What do Nasa scientists want to learn about?
A) How mice imitate human behavior in space.
B) How gravity affects the human body.
C) How mice interact in a new environment.
D) How animals deal with lack of gravity.
解析：
D选项为正确答案。听力篇章第一题往往在前三句需集中注意力听，这道题属于视听基本一致，但存在同意转述的情况，其中animals=species， lack=low，D选项中的其他关键词均可以和文章对应。得出第一道题的答案紧接着盯着下一道题的关键词。
题目：
Q23 What does the passage say about the miceat the beginning ofthe experiment?
A) They were not used to the low-gravity environment.
B) They found it difficult to figure out where they were.
C) They found the space in the cage too small to stay in.
D) They were not sensitive to the changed environment.
解析：
A选项为正确答案。较难题，属于同意替换。首先需要分析选项和画选项中的关键词，A选项它们不适应失重环境。B选项它们很难去想明白他们身处在哪里。C选项它们觉得它们所处的笼子的空间太小以至于容不下它们.D选项他们对于所换的环境并不敏感。BCD均未提及，文中老鼠们起初感觉很不舒服在这样的环境下跟A选项相符。
题目：
Q24 What was observed about the miceon the 11thdayof the experiment?
A) They tried everything possible to escape from the cage.
B) They continued to behave as they did in the beginning.
C) They already felt at home in the new environment.
D) They had found a lot more activities to engage in.
解析：
C选项为正确答案。较难题。尤其注意文章中的转折词帮助考生定位正确答案的位置。However后文中提及老鼠们非常适应新环境等同于C选项在新的环境中，他们有了家的感觉是同意转述。并且其他选项的信息均未提及，可以用排除法做题。
题目：
Q25 What did the scientists find about the mice from the experiment?
A) They repeated their activities every day.
B) They behaved as if they were on Earth.
C) They began to eat less after some time.
D) They changed their routines in space.
解析：
B选项为正确答案。根据顺序出题原则比较容易在文章末尾定位正确答案句，但这道题仍属于较难题同意替换题，分析选项信息用排除法也会发现并未提及A选项的repeated和every day,以及C选项中的eat less 和D选项的change routines.B选项老鼠们表现的就好像它们在地球上一样等同于文中科学家好奇老鼠的日常行为时候和在地球一样，研究表明老鼠们的日程大都不变，故选B。
