听力原文：F: Paul, nice to see you back from the university. How do you like your new university？ I remember your mom had wanted you to go to London University so that you can live at home and walk or cycle to attend the lectures.
M: Well, you know I didn't go to London University after all. My new university is on the suburbs of an ancient cathedral city and it is almost 8 miles from the city center. The university is planned on the so called American campus system. That is to say, students live in halls of residence grouped around the main university buildings.
F: You mean you live, eat and study within the university proper？
M: Yes, I like it. Because we are a real community. We've got comfortable common rooms and bars. We arrange dances and parties. We've got clubs, theater groups, choirs and so on. And we've got an orchestra. I played the drums in it. By the way, how about your university days, Betty？
F: I rented a house with two other girls in the middle of the city about ten minutes walk from the university. The house is falling to pieces. It is damp and there is no proper heating. M: That sounds awful. I couldn't work in a place like yours. The district is poor and could almost be classed as a slum.
F: I don't think so. We live among real people who treat us as real people. We've got an electrician living next door, who is always coming in and mending our cooker and electric fires. We could try to get into one of the halls of the residents. But we prefer to be independent. It's nice to belong to the city and to do things outside the university.
M: What sort of things do you do outside the university？
M: Well, there is a group of us who go and help in a home for handicapped children. And I sing in the city bar "Choir". We get on well with the local people, not like you in that suburban district.
W: Well, I like history. And my university is one of the best universities for that subject. Besides, it is an ancient city with a lot of historical relics and sightseeing spots. If you can drop by by any chance, I can show you around.
F: You bet.

听力原文：M: Rebecca, did you hear Radio broadcasting that temperatures have today reached a record 102 degrees and may well hit 110 tomorrow？
W: I heard that, Aaron, but it's not surprising actually, because we haven't had as much rain as normal this year.
M: Much more distressing, experts say, is that a drought has set in remarkably early and shows no sign of letting up soon ... The ground is still parched from last year's drought -- crops, plants and trees are being crippled at their most vulnerable time.
W: Yes. The drought conditions are severe! There's a lot of death, dying and suffering out there!
M: Well, if it could rain even a drop, things would be much better! And my flowers in the garden would come back in a heartbeat.
W: I guess you might have to quit watering your garden. I heard that they are going to start rationing water. In fact, this morning I happened to hear on the radio that the reservoir had dipped below half its capacity this month and the volume of water entering the reservoir is the smallest in fifty years.
M: Really! I thought that might happen. Great! There go my vegetables!
W. I guess so. But think about Africa.

A．It is the worst drought they have ever had.
B．It is the second worst drought for many years.
C．It is the second year they suffer from drought.
D．It is the worst season for them to have drought.

阅读理解：If you think a high-factor sunscreen（防晒霜)keeps you safe from harmful rays, you may be wrong
Question 1 to 5 are based on the following passage.
If you think a high-factor sunscreen(防晒霜)keeps you safe from harmful rays, you may be wrong. Research in this week&39;s Nature shows that while factor 50 reduces the number of melanomas(黑瘤)and delays their occurrence, it can&39;t prevent them. Melanomas are the most aggressive skin cancers. You have a higher risk if you have red or blond hair, fair skin, blue or green eyes, or sunburn easily, or if a close relative has had one. Melanomas are more common if you have periodic intense exposure to the sun. Other skin cancers are increasingly likely with long-term exposure.
There is continuing debate as to how effective sunscreen is in reducing melanomas—the evidence is weaker than it is for preventing other types of skin cancer. A 2011 Australian study of 1,621 people found that people randomly selected to apply sunscreen daily had half the rate of melanomas of people who used cream as needed. A second study, comparing 1,167 people with melanomas to 1,101 who didn&39;t have the cancer, found that using sunscreen routinely, alongside other protection such as hats, long sleeves or staying in the shade, did give some protection. This study said other forms of sun protection—not sunscreen—seemed most beneficial. The study relied on people remembering what they had done over each decade of their lives, so it&39;s not entirely reliable. But it seems reasonable to think sunscreen gives people a false sense of security in the sun.
Many people also don&39;t use sunscreen properly-applying insufficient amounts, failing to reapply after a couple of hours and staying in the sun too long. It is sunburn that is most worrying-recent shows five episodes of sunburn in the teenage years increases the risk of all skin cancers.
The good news is that a combination of sunscreen and covering up can reduce melanoma rates, as shown by Australian figures from their slip-slop-slap campaign. So if there is a heat wave this summer, it would be best for us, too, to slip on a shirt, slop on(抹上)sunscreen and slap on a hat.
1.What is people&39;s common expectation of a high-factor sunscreen？
A.It will delay the occurrence of skin cancer.
B.It will protect them from sunburn.
C.It will keep their skin smooth and fair.
D.It will work for people of any skin color.
2.What does the research in Nature say about a high-factor sunscreen？
A.It is ineffective in preventing melanomas.
B.It is ineffective in case of intense sunlight.
C.It is ineffective with long-term exposure.
D.It is ineffective for people with fair skin.
3.What do we learn from the 2011Australian study of 1,621 people？
A.Sunscreen should be applied alongside other protection measures.
B.High-risk people benefit the most from the application of sunscreen.
C.Irregular application of sunscreen does women more harm than good.
D.Daily application of sunscreen helps reduce the incidence of melanomas.
4.What does the author say about the second Australian study？
A.It misleads people to rely on sunscreen for protection.
B.It helps people to select the most effective sunscreen.
C.It is not based on direct observation of the subjects.
D.It confirms the results of the first Australian study.
5.What does the author suggest to reduce melanoma rates？
A.Using both covering up and sunscreen.
B.Staying in the shade whenever possible.
C.Using covering up instead of sunscreen.
D.Applying the right amount of sunscreen.

听力原文：The trouble is that when things seem to go wrong, it may be too late to fix them, because you actually built the problem in from the start. It's vital that each member of the team knows exactly what it is he or she is supposed to contribute. You won't get a good whole if the parts aren't put together properly. If members are from different departments, they'll have different expectations, which need to be dealt with.

Peter: ______ Diane: No, not all memories are correct, but they all tell us something about the person who is doing the remembering. The memory may tell us what the person likes or dislikes, what he or she wishes, and it may also tell us about his or her fears. Peter: ______ Diane: That's a good question. It's easier to remember things that have emotional meaning to you. It's also easier to remember information that you practice and use a lot. Repetition also reinforces memory; the more you repeat something, the better you remember it.
A．Are all memories accurate？ ; What kind of things are easier for people to remember？
B．Are there different kinds of memory？ ; What makes it easier for people to remember certain things？

听力原文：M: Have you heard that in another few years you may be able to buy a car that changes colors every day to match the outfit you are wearing？
W: Oh, please be serious! I suppose they will change shapes as well. If you want a big car to take all your friends camping, I suppose you'll just be able to snap your fingers and make it happen. Or if you want a sporty two-seater, you could just tell the car what you wanted, and it would do the rest. Is that how it will work？
M: No, I am serious. They have found a way to alter the surface of metals so that they can reflect different colors just by passing a small amount of electricity over them.
W: Oh, I see. So anything that touches the outside of the car will get a shock. That sounds lovely.
M: It's only a tiny amount of electricity. It wouldn't be enough to shock anybody.
W: Well, it sounds pretty difficult to believe.
M: Yes, it's quite amazing. The important thing you have to remember is that the color of an object is really just an illusion created by the way light bounces off its surface. Engineers have been able to produce a car that changes colors at the touch of a button by slightly rearranging the position of the particles on the surface of the metal.
W: It sounds so amazing. But I guess it could be possible.
M: It is possible today. The only problem is that it is very expensive. To produce a car with a surface that changed colors would cost almost twice as much as what a regular car costs. For that much money you could just by the car and have it repainted twenty times, so it's not very practical yet.
W: Yes, but in other ways it could be more practical. If you took your car to be painted twenty times, it would use quite a bit of polluting chemicals, and it would take a long time.
M: You're right there, but how many people really get their car repainted that many time？
W: Hmm, I suppose you're right, but I sure would love to have my car match my outfit every day.
