[听力原文] The important change in women's life-pattern has only recently begun to have its full effect on women's economic position. Even a few years ago, most girls left school at the first opportunity, and most of them took a full-time job. However, when they married, they usually left work at once and never returned to it. Today, the school-leaving age is sixteen. Many girls stay at school after that age, and though women tend to marry younger, more married women stay at work at least until shortly before their first child is born. Very many more afterwards return to full-time or part-time work. Such changes have led to a new relationship in marriage, with the husband accepting a greater share of the duties and satisfactions of family life and with both husband and wife sharing more equally in providing the money and running the home, according to the abilities and interests of each of them.

1. Why should we be more careful of the foods during the summer? Because foods can easily go bad in ______.
hot weather
[听力原文] During the summer you should be even more careful than usual of the foods you prepare. Foods spoil faster in hot weather than in cold weather. When you are shopping, purchase frozen and refrigerated foods last. Don't make long stops on the way home, because frozen foods could be soft or warm. Using insulated bags helps keep food cold until you can get home. Milk and milk products should be refrigerated immediately.When camping or picnicking, or at any time when refrigeration isn't available, use special dry food. Don't leave foods in a hot car or beach bag. Picnic favorites like meat, chicken, and egg salad should be kept in a cooler. Above all, if a food doesn't seem to be normal in smell or appearance, throw it away immediately. Don't taste it.
Why should we be more careful of the foods during the summer?
[解析] 由听力材料的第二句“Foods spoil faster in hot weather than in cold weather.”可知,在夏天要对食品更加注意是因为食品在热天更易变质,因此空格处应填hot weather。其中题干中的go bad与听力材料中的spoil属于同意转换。

3. What food should be put in the refrigerator immediately after shopping? Milk and ______.
milk products
[听力原文] What food should be put in the refrigerator immediately after shopping?

More and more young people realize that entrepreneurship can give them opportunities unlike any other career path. With colleges and universities offering classes and majors in entrepreneurship, and unemployment high in most countries of the world, the number of people who plan to work for themselves is growing. If you're planning to launch a start-up, here are four things everyone should do from the beginning: Be confident and keep your focus Proper confidence can help you recognize obvious problems and develop your abilities. You may have hundreds of exciting ideas, but successful entrepreneurs stick with a single super idea. Learn to delegate Once you have a good team, hand off responsibilities. Your staff will gain experience and you can continue to develop your business. Network You've heard this a thousand times: join groups, volunteer, use social media, ask every- one for referrals (转送), never turn down a meeting. No matter how long you've been in business, this never goes away. Dress the part You may feel most comfortable in your jeans and T-shirt, just like Steve Jobs. But you can't assume that your clients—real or potential—will understand. A universal rule in business is to wear the clothes for your ideal position. You don't need to rush to an Italian tailor, but please invest in professional clothing.

Task 2 Directions: This task is the same as Task 1. The 5 questions or unfinished statements are numbered 1 to 5. Humans have been damaging the environment ever since we realized our powers to harness nature. Global warming and air pollution are now frequent headlines on TV and in the newspapers all over the world which keep reminding us of our obligation to protect the environment. However, few actions are actually being taken at the individual level and I think there are two major reasons why people are being so indifferent. The first reason is that many people consider the environmental problem as a future concern. Environmental reports often warn us of the dire consequences of climate change or energy crisis 100 or 200 years later. As a result, many people feel that money and time is better spent on solving more immediate problems such as housing shortage and traffic congestion than on preventing a disaster that is only predicted to happen in the future. Also, people feel that the environmental problems are too complex for individual people to cope with. Indeed, a combination of factors causes environmental problems, many of which are impossible to be controlled through individual actions. The above attitudes are understandable but are obviously mistaken, so the government needs to take proactive measures to make people more environmentally responsible. They can make more public service advertisements to encourage people to consume more green products instead of disposable goods that are harmful to the environment. They can also offer more incentives to people who have been active in cleaning up the neighborhood or severely punish those who have been unfriendly to the environment. There is always a dilemma between environment and development, but as an individual we can do something to reduce the negative impact of human activities on the environment. Certainly we do not want to see the Earth turn into an uninhabitable planet.
1. The passage is mainly about ______.
A.the damaged environment
B.the causes of environmental problems
C.global warming and air pollution
D.encouraging people to protect the environment
A B C D
D
[解析] 整篇文章分析了人们不重视环境保护的原因和政府该如何鼓励人们保护环境。
2. Why do many people consider the environmental problem as a future concern?
A.Because people just care about housing shortage and traffic congestion.
B.Because people are not afraid of disasters.
C.Because people feel that the environmental problems are too complex.
D.Because people think environmental problems are not serious.
A B C D
C
[解析] 第二段提到“Also, people feel that the environmental problems are too complex for individual people to cope with”。
3. What should the government do to encourage people to protect the environment?
A.The government can make more public service advertisements to encourage people to consume more green products.
B.The government should force people to do so.
C.The government should spend more money making public service advertisements.
D.The government should do nothing but wait.
A B C D

[解析] 政府该怎么鼓励人们保护环境,作者提到“They can make more public service advertisements to encourage people to consume more green products instead of disposable goods that are harmful to the environment”。
