The passages will be read twice, but the questions will be spoken only once. When you hear a question, read the four possible answers on your paper and decide which one would be the best answer to the question you have heard.Questions 11 through 13 are based on the following passage.You cannot change the laws of physics, but could physics actually enable us to travel through time? It might sound crazy, but according to Einstein's theories, there's no logical reason why time travel isn't possible and there are now scientists looking into it as a serious scientific proposal, at least at a theoretical Level.77.Put simply, Einstein' s idea was that every object in the universe has its own time II , and these vary as objects move. The faster an object moves, the slower its time is, compared to the time of a slower moving object. The extreme situation would be if an object could move as fast as the speed of light, its time would be completely stopped. But whatever an objecf or person's time is, ifs only evident in contrast to other objects. In other words, they're all relative.78.In 1971, after Einstein's death, two scientists were able to carry out a crucial experiment.They used two atomic clocks, synchronized them and placed one on a plane, while the otherstayed in the same location on Earth. The plane then flew around the world for 80 hours.According to Einstein's theory, the clock on the plane would be expected to have lost time, due tobeing in motion over 80 hours compared to the clock on the ground. When they brought the clockstogether and made a comparison, the clock on the plane was indeed a few nanoseconds slowerthan the other clock.79.So, time is warped - and this opens up the possibility that we might be able to somehow manipulate it as a mode of travel one day. Already one scientist has published a paper in which he detailed how to build a time machine.80.If it were possible, however, it would present some pretty knotty paradoxes. For example, what if someone or something traveled back in time and changed the future? And have you heard the one about the time traveler who dots back and forward in time and by means of various medical technologies is able to be his own father AND mother?! And besides, if time travel is possible, where are all the people from the future surely they'd want to come and meet us poor stranded 21st century beings?Section DDirections: Read the passage carefully and answer the questions or complete the statements in no more than 12 words.Many expensive nutrition additives advertised on TV say they can improve your memory, but only ordinary food and health habits have been shown to work.A research team from UCLA (University of California at Los Angeles) has designed a four-step plan to improve your memory in just 14 days. It sounds like another advertisement, but it really works, II says UCLA professor Gary Small.The team found the four-step plan improved memory function in teenagers under stress and older people. After a two-week study that included crossword puzzles, exercise and diet changes, test subjects5 memories worked more efficiently.Here's the program:Memory training: Train yourself with brain-teaser, crossword puzzles and memory exercises that train verbal skills throughout the day.Healthy diet: Eat five rather than three meals a day. The food should be rich in omega-3 fats, such as whole grains and vegetables that contain antioxidants (抗氧化剂). Having frequent meals helps increase blood glucose (血糖),the primary energy source for the brain.Physical fitness: Have regular physical exercise such as walking, basketball or running, every day.Stress reduction: Perform stretching and relaxation exercises. Stress causes the body to release a chemical that can shrink the memory centers in the brain.Before-and-after brain scans showed that test subjects experienced on the average a 5 per cent increase in working memory. This suggests they were using their brains more efficiently. A control group that didn't follow the plan showed no big changes.We' ve known for years that diet and exercise can help people keep their physical health, which is a key part of healthy aging, II said Small. But keeping mental health is just as important. Now we have evidence that people can improve their memories through a program of memory exercises and stress reduction. II(Note: Answer the questions or complete the statements in NO MORE THAN TEN WORDS.)81. are more likely to be influenced by the 14-day program.82. What is healthy diet II according to the passage?83. When you are under high pressure, how does your body react?84. Besides diet and exercise,are also vital for memory improvement.第II卷(共45分)I.

The passages will be read twice, but the questions will be spoken only once. When you hear a question, read the four possible answers on your paper and decide which one would be the best answer to the question you have heard.Questions 11 through 13 are based on the following passage.Well, hello everyone, and welcome to our show today.Today I' d like to share with you my favorite chocolate chip cookie recipe. Now, before you switch the TV channel, I know what you are thinking. Another fattening cookie recipe. II But wait. What makes this recipe great is that it offers a wonderful low-fat, low-calorie, low-cholesterol dessert for the entire family.Lets see. We have all the ingredients here, so we can start by mixing all of the ingredients,the sugars, the flour, the egg whites, the low-fat butter, vanilla, baking soda, and a pinch of salt ina large mixing bowl. Then, we add the mini chocolate chips. And don't forget to preheat the ovento 350 degrees (Fahrenheit). And finally, when the cookies are done, take them out of the oven,remove them from the cookie sheet, and let them cool before the kids5 finger get into them.And unfortunately, by the time your kids get the cookies, you, the cook, will be left with a single cookie - your instant diet plan for you - and a dirty kitchen.So, thafs all for today. On next week's show, we will be showing you how to feed hungry teenagers on a budget without having to sell the family car. See you next week.(Now listen again, please)Questions:11. What is special about the chefs cookies?12. Which ingredient does the chef NOT use to make his cookies?13.

I majored in Spanish educationand TESOL, or teaching English as a second language. After graduating from college, my wifeand I moved to Japan where we lived for eight years. Now, I work back in the States in Utah.My greatest interests are my family. My kids wouldn't remember me for the work I did outside of the home; they would only recall the moments we spent together. Therefore, I enjoy spending time with my family. I have four children, and we go hiking and camping together. On our hikes, we often talk about life, and I tell stories or share personal experiences. When I do this, I can focus on the kids without the distractions of video games or the Internet. Telling stories sounds easy, but when you have to think of a new story on a hot, 12-kilometer hike through the desert, you have come up with ideas off the top of your head.Now, this doesn't mean we don't have problems; all families face challenges in their lives, and our family is no exception. However, we try to talk openly about our problems, and we try to solve our problems together. Building a strong family takes time, but it is worth the effort.(Now listen again, please)Questions:14. Besides TESOL, what was RandalPs another undergraduate major?15. What does Randall do on his hikes with his children?16. What point does Randall make about raising children?Section CDirections: In Section C, you will hear two longer conversations. The conversations will be read twice.
