  • 第1题:

    听力原文: It's no secret that throughout history common stock has outperformed most financial instruments. If an investor plans to have an investment for a long period of time, then their portfolio should be comprised mostly of stocks ; however, investors who don't have this kind of time should diversify their portfolios. For this reason, the concept of "asset allocation" was developed. Asset allocation is an investment portfolio technique that aims to balance risk and create diversification by dividing assets among major categories. The underlying principle of asset allocation is that the older a person gets, the less risk he or she should face. After you retire you may have to depend on your savings as your only source of income.

    Questions 9~11 refer to the following information.
    The daily changes of the market can lead investors astray. The ups and downs make the tendency to look at the portfolio’s performance frequently too tempting. This means investors are likely to perceive more risk, forgetting about their long term goals.
    When investors log into their trading accounts they can see the potential gain or loss of all of their assets. They can also see the day change on assets which are coded gain and loss. However, it's believed that those who look less get more.
    For instance, if you look at FTSE index from today to tomorrow there is a roughly 50% chance that it has gone up or down. If you look at it over a year you may find that 60%-65% of the time it is going up. And if you look over a five-year period you will find that 90% of the time it goes up.

    A. Keep themselves from checking their trading accounts.

    D. be worried about the ups and downs of the market

    答案:A
    解析:
    此题可用排除法,C项和D 项可首先排除,C项错在be attracted by risk,投资者不会被风险吸引:D 项本身意思没有错,投资者会担心市场走势的起起落落,但这是常识,不是文章重点。A 项“投资者趋于关注眼前的得与失,和B 项“投资者会被市场的日常变化误导”,迷惑性较大。结合全文和这两个选项,我们会发现B 项是A 项的一个具体表现,因为关注眼前的得与失,所以才会被市场的日常变化影响,因此A 项更准确。

    A healthy lifestyle by itself, however, often does not suffice to achieve optimum protection from atherosclerosis and its complications. Yet, there are a number of treatments that can reduce risk. Depending on the levels of cholesterol, the type of cholesterol carriers in the blood, blood pressure, blood sugar levels, etc., doctors can tailor a regimen of risk-reducing medications. Even a baby aspirin a day in certain instances can lower the risk of cardiovascular events markedly.

    According to the passage, what happens to those who exercise regularly?They can eat more, and still lose a large amount of ____.

    正确答案: body fat
    解析:
    细节辨认题。录音最后提到“Therefore, those who exercise regularly can eat more and still lose a large amount of body fat”,即经常锻炼的人吃的多,但是失去的脂肪也多,答案为body fat。
    【录音原文】
      In the U.S.A, 30% of the adult population has the weight problem. To many people, the cause is obvious—they eat too much. But scientific evidence doesn’t support this idea. Going back to the America of 1910, we find that people were thinner than today, yet they ate more food. In those days, people worked harder physically, walked more, used machines much less and didn’t watch television.
      Several modern studies have shown that fatter people don’t eat more than thinner people. In fact, some investigations report that fat people eat less than thinner people. Recently, a study of a research group found the following interesting fact: thinner people are more active than fatter people; therefore, those who exercise regularly can eat more and still lose a large amount of body fat.
    Q11: About how many adult American have the weight problem?
    Q12: In many people’s opinion, what is the cause of getting fat?
    Q13: Why were the Americans in 1910 thinner than today?
    Q14: What was the result of a recent study?
    Q15: According to the passage, what happens to those who exercise regularly?
