    细节题。录音明确提到“the sun has cycles”,最后说明“The scientists concluded that solar wind activity must follow the same cycle.”可推断“Solar wind activity follows a certain cycle”。故选D。
    【录音原文】
      You can tell the age of a tree by counting its rings. But these records of a tree’s life really say a lot more. Scientists are using tree rings to learn what’s been happening on the sun’s surface for the last 10,000 years. Each ring represents a year of growth. As a tree grows, it adds a layer to its trunk, taking up chemical elements from the air. By looking at the elements in the rings from a given year, scientists can tell what elements were in the air that year. Doctor Stevenson is analyzing one element: carbon 14 in rings from both living and dead trees. Some of the rings go back almost 10,000 years to the end of the Ice Age. When Stevenson followed the carbon 14 trail back in time, he found carbon 14 levels change with the intensity of solar burning. You see, the sun has cycles. Sometimes it burns fiercely, at other times it’s relatively calm. During the sun’s violent periods it throws off charged particles in fast moving streams called solar winds. The particles interfere with the formation of carbon 14 on Earth. When there’s more solar wind activity, less carbon 14 is produced. Ten thousand years of tree rings show that the carbon 14 level rises and falls about every 420 years. The scientists concluded that solar wind activity must follow the same cycle.
    Questions 1 to 3 are based on the passage you have just heard.
    1. What’s the purpose of the scientists in studying tree rings?
    2. What affects the amount of carbon 14 on Earth?
    3. What do we learn from the passage about solar wind activity?

    【录音原文】
      London taxi drivers know the capital like the back of their hands. No matter how small or indistinct the street is, the driver will be able to get you there without any trouble. The reason London taxi drivers are so efficient is that they all have gone through a very tough training period to get special taxi driving license. During this period, which can take two to four years, the would-be taxi driver has to learn the most direct route to every single road and to every important building in London. To achieve this, most learners go around the city on small motorbikes practicing how to move to and from different points of the city. Learner taxi drivers are tested several times during the training period by government officers. The exams are terrible experience. The officers ask you “How do you get from Birmingham palace to the Tower of London?” and you have to take them there in the direct line. When you get to the tower, they won’t say “well done”. They will quickly move on to the next question. After five or six questions, they will just say “See you in two months’ time.” and then you know the exam is over. Learner drivers are not allowed to work and earn money as drivers. Therefore, many of them keep their previous jobs until they have obtained the license. The training can cost quite a lot, because learners have to pay for their own expenses on the tests and the medical exam.
    Questions 1 to 4 are based on the conversation you have just heard.
    1. Why are London taxi drivers very efficient?
    2. How long does the training period last?
    3. Why does the speaker think the driving test is a terrible experience?
    4. Why do learner drivers have to keep their present jobs?

    【录音原文】
      Dozens of children at a Utah elementary school had their lunch trays snatched away from them before they could take a bite this week. Salt Lake City School District officials said the trays were taken away at Utah Elementary School Tuesday because some students had negative balances in their accounts used to pay for lunches. But they admit the situation should have been handled differently. Instead of regular lunches, the students were given fruit and milk. “We don’t ever let kids go without any food entirely,” said Salt Lake City School District spokesman Jason Olsen. One mother said, she was “blindsided” when her daughter described what a school district official told her. “You don’t have any money in your account, so you can’t get lunch.” “There were a lot of tears,” she said, “and it was pretty upsetting for them.” The district said it started notifying parents about negative account balances Monday. But the mother said she and other parents were never told about the problem.
    Questions 12 to 13 are based on the conversation you have just heard.
    12. Why were some children offered only fruit and milk for lunch?
    13. How did parents react to the school’s way of handling the situation?

    【参考范文】
    21st Century: Newspaper vs. Internet In modern world, the role of newspaper is being seriously challenged by the booming IT industry or Internet. As a matter of fact, nowadays nearly everything starts with an “e”, and newspaper will be replaced by other computer-based means of information transportation.
    In the first place, newspaper can never match the Internet in its speed. Actually, information of any kind can be transported digitally at up to 300 million meters per second. In a world of efficiency, newspaper can be defeated for this reason solely.
    Furthermore, with the Internet, information can be transmitted in a three-dimensional way, which consists of sound, live-show and even interaction, whereas in the paper, only words and photographs could be presented. Therefore, the former is more vivid and descriptive.
    In conclusion, though newspaper is still regarded as indispensable for our daily life, it cannot match the Internet in many aspects.

      The number of British films being made has declined in the past few years, according to new figures. In 2013, 62 British films with a budget over £500,000 were produced, compared with 87 in 2011, figures from the British Film Institute (BFI) showed. The number of low-budget films being shot has fallen. The BFI said “a dip in production should not be confused with a decline in quality”, adding that Hollywood studios were spending more in the UK. The BFI’s annual statistics said total investment in film-making in Britain rose from £945 million in 2012 to £1.07 billion in 2013. This was thanks to Hollywood, studios choosing the UK as the film location. The BFI said tax reliefs had helped encourage Hollywood studios to film more productions in the UK.

      There was once a man in South America who had a parrot, a pet bird that could imitate human speech. The parrot was unique. There was no bird like him in the whole world. He could learn to say any word except one. He could not say the name of his native town, Cartano. The man did everything he could to teach the parrot to say “Cartano”, but he never succeeded. At first he was very gentle with the bird. But gradually, he lost his temper. “You stupid bird. Why can’t you learn to say that one word? Say ‘Cartano’ or I will kill you.” But the parrot would not say it. Many times the man screamed, “Say ‘Cartano,’ or I’ll kill you.” But the bird would never repeat the name. Finally, the man gave up. He picked up the parrot and threw him into the chicken house. “You are even more stupid than the chickens.” In the chicken house, there were four old chickens, waiting to be killed for Sunday’s dinner. The next morning, when he went out of the chicken house, the man opened the door. He was shocked by what he saw. He could not believe his eyes and ears. On the floor lay three dead chickens. The parrot was screaming at the fourth, “Say ‘Cartano’, or I’ll kill you.”

    正确答案:
    【参考范文】
    Tour Fever Should Be Cooled Down As a new and expanding industry, tourism is attracting more and more public attention. Consequently, both arguments and counter-arguments concerning its development have emerged as time goes on. I’d like to focus on its counteraction on social progress.
    Above all, tourism sometimes leaves the local people psychologically unbalanced. Because it is usually people from better-off countries or regions that can afford to travel, their wealth sometimes makes the local people more aware of their own poverty.
    Next, the exploitation of tourism is bound to destroy some natural resources and scenic areas. Environmental pollution is a case in point and its far-reaching harm is self-evident.
    Therefore, it is advisable to discourage rather than encourage tourism at the period when the worldwide economy development has not reached to a balanced state.

      Hundreds of emergency workers combed the site of a five-story apartment building in southern Ukraine Thursday after a series of explosions reduced it to rubble, authorities said. The blasts Wednesday night in the Black Sea resort town of Yevpatoria left at least 17 people dead and 24 others missing, according to Igor Krol, a spokesman for the Ukraine’s Emergency Situations Ministry. 21 people have been rescued. “We are now investigating all possible reasons for the explosions,” Krol said. Volodymiyr Shandra, the Ukrainian Emergency Situations minister, told local media that oxygen canisters being stored in the basement of the building could have triggered the blasts.
