B)他們在該市服務的乘客數(shù)量。C)本周初發(fā)布的新公告。D)3月18日活動的意義。【解析】新聞最后一句提到，費耶特維爾市的官員們表示，他們希望公交車司機知道他們對費耶特維爾有多么重要，這些司機每年為近160萬名乘客提供服務。由此可知，選項A為正確答案。其余三項均是利用新聞細節(jié)信息設置的干擾項，與題干不符,均排除。Questions3and4arebasedonthenewsreportyouhavejustheard.3.A)Budgeted$56.7millionforthecomingschoolyear.B)Requestedtoraiseteachers'salariesby3percent.C)Proposedaspendingincreaseby5.99percent.D)Keptraisingfundsforatleast8budgetcycles.4.A)Decreaseinsalariesforschooladministrators.B)Reductioninfederalandstatefunding.C)Firingoflessqualifiedfacultymembers.D)Closingdownofsomelesscompetitiveschools.NewsReportTwo·聽力原文·TheWiltonSchoolBoardhasproposeda5.99%spendingincrease.Ifapproved,itwouldbethelargestjumpinatleasteightbudgetcycles.The5.99%requestmorethandoublesthehighestpreviousyear-over-yearincreaseinthelasteightyears,whichwas2.99%forthe2021-2022schoolyear.Thebiggestdriverofthe$91.8millionproposedbudgetremainsteachersalaries.Theseaccountfor64%ofthetotalrequestat$59million.The$59millionisupfromthe$56.7millionbudgetedforthecurrentschoolyear.Therearesomefactorsthatcouldaffectthebudgetmovingforward.Oneofthoseistotalenrollment.Thedistrictwillhaveatotalenrollmentof3,742students.Almostallofthesestudentswillbeinkindergartenthroughhighschool,but66willbeinprekindergartenandotherprograms.Thisrepresents47fewerstudentsthanthecurrentyear.Fewerstudentsmeanlessfederalandstatefunding.

B)要求將教師工資提高3%。C)提議增加5.99%的開支。D)為至少8個預算周期持續(xù)籌集資金。【解析】新聞開頭就提到，威爾頓學校董事會提議增加5.99%的開支，故選項C正確。新聞中表示威爾頓學校本學年的預算金額為5670萬美元，而非下一學年，故排除選項A。其余兩個選項在新聞中沒有依據(jù)，可排除。

B)注意安全。C)不要開車。D)乘坐火車。【解析】新聞最后提到，雷雪天氣，氣溫極低，相關部門警告人們外出時要當心，故選項B為正確答案。選項C和選項D是利用新聞細節(jié)信息設置的干擾項，與新聞描述不符，故排除。選項A在新聞中并未提及，可排除。SectionBDirections:Inthissection,youwillheartwolongconversations.Attheendofeachconversation,youwillhearfourquestions.Boththeconversationandthequestionswillbespokenonlyonce.Afteryouhearaquestion,youmustchoosethebestanswerfromthefourchoicesmarkedA),B),C)andD).ThenmarkthecorrespondingletteronAnswerSheet1withasinglelinethroughthecentre.Questions8to11arebasedonconversationyouhavejustheard.8.A)Whythemanissoanxioustobuyanewphone.B)Howthemancouldpossiblyaffordanewphone.C)Howthemangotintothehabitofbeingwasteful.D)Whythemanissofondofusinghiscreditcard.9.A)Itisnotinfashionanymore.B)Itgoesoutoforderfrequently.C)Itisnotasfancyashiscolleagues'.D)Itlacksfunctionsofficeworkrequires.10.A)Itenableshimtobuyanewphoneatamorefavorableprice.B)Itisaspecialoffertorecentcollegegraduatesworkinginoffices.C)Itisavailabletoofficeworkerswhohaveagoodenoughcreditscore.D)Itallowshimtoborrowmoneywithoutpayinginterestforsixmonths.11.A)Sheborrowedmoneytopayherdebt.B)Shedevelopedahabitofoverspending.C)Sheenjoysbuyingalotoffancythings.D)Sheregretsignoringthewoman'sadvice.ConversationOne·聽力原文·M:l'mgoingtothecitycentretobuyanewphonetoday.W:Didn'tyoubuyanewphonejusttwomonthsago?M:Itwasthreemonthsago,andIalreadyknowwhatyou'regoingtosay.You'rethinkingIshouldn'treplacemyphonethissoon.W:No,actually,Iwaswonderinghowyoucouldpossiblyaffordanewphone.Butnowthatyoumentionit,Idothinkgettinganotherphonesosooniswasteful,regardlessofthecost.M:Maybeyou'reright,butthethingis,everyoneattheofficehasanice,expensivephone,andI'malittleembarrassedbymine.Ijustgotacreditcard,solthoughtImightaswellbuyanewphone.W:Idon'tthinkbuyingaphoneoncreditisagoodidea.Look,you'veonlybeenworkingforfivemonthsnow.Peopleunderstandthatyouarearecentgraduate,andIdoubtanyonecaresaboutyourphoneotherthanyourself.M:Maybeyou'reright,butthecreditcardhasaverygoodspecialoffer,whereIdon'tpayanyinterestforsixmonths.I'llbeabletopayforthephonewellbeforethatperiodisover.W:Istillthinkit'sabadideatouseacreditcardforsomethingyoudon'tneed.Oneofmycolleaguesboughtalotofthingsoncreditduringherfirstyearofwork,anditbecameabadhabit,andsheaccumulatedalotofdebt.M:Well,Icanseehowthatmighthappentosomeone,andI'msuresheregretsit,butIknowitwon'thappentome.

B)男士怎么可能買得起一部新手機。C)男士如何養(yǎng)成了浪費的習慣。D)為何男士如此喜歡使用他的信用卡。【解析】在對話開頭，男士以為女士要說他不應該這么快換手機，但是女士說自己實際上在想他怎么可能買得起-部新手機,所以答案是B項。其他三項與對話內(nèi)容不符,故均排除。

B)它經(jīng)常出故障。C)它不像同事們的手機那樣貴。D)它缺少辦公所需的功能。【解析】在對話中，男士提到辦公室里每個人都有一部很不錯、價格昂貴的手機，他對自己的手機有點難為情。由此可知，男士認為自己的手機比不上同事們的手機，沒有同事們的手機那么好、那么貴，所以答案是C項。A、B、D三項在對話中沒有相關信息，故均排除。

D)它允許他在六個月內(nèi)借錢不用支付利息。【解析】在對話中，男士提到剛辦的這張信用卡有個很不錯的優(yōu)惠活動，六個月內(nèi)不用付利息，所以答案是D項。對話中并沒有提及這張信用卡能夠讓他在買新手機時享受更優(yōu)惠的價格，故排除A項;B項拼湊了對話中的幾處信息，不符合對話內(nèi)容，故排除;C項在原文中沒有相關信息，也排除。

B)她養(yǎng)成了過度消費的習慣。C)她喜歡買很多昂貴的東西。D)她后悔忽視了女士的建議。【解析】在對話最后，女士提到她的一個同事在工作第一年用信用卡買了很多東西，結(jié)果就養(yǎng)成了壞習慣，累積了很多債務，故選B。A項在對話中沒有相關信息，故排除。女士提到她的同事買了很多東西，但并沒有說是昂貴的東西，故排除C項;對話中男士提及女士的那位女同事肯定后悔了，但這只是男士的猜測，而且對話并未提女士是否給那位女同事提建議，故D項也排除。Questions12to15arebasedonconversationyouhavejustheard.12.A)Blogwritingandnaturalresourcessaving.B)Jointeffortstoimprovethelocalcommunity.C)AudienceparticipationinTheMorningShow.D)Homeownershipandenvironmentalprotection.13.A)Notarealisticsizeforfamilies.B)NotwelcomedbymostAmericans.C)Onlyfitforfamiliesoffourorless.D)Onlysuitableforrentingtothepoor.14.A)Itshouldbechanged.B)Itisn'teasytorealize.C)Itwillcometruesoonerorlater.D)Itdoesn'tappealtoaveragefamilies.15.A)Theyhelptolowerhousingprices.B)Theyhelptosaveupforlargerhouses.C)Theyareagoodchoiceformanypeople.D)Theyarevitaltoreducingwasteworldwide.ConversationTwo·聽力原文·W:WelcometoTheMorningShow.Ourguesttodayisapopularblogwriterandamajorfigureinthetinyhomecommunity.welcome,BobJones.M:Hi,Mary.W:Hi,Bob.You'reanadvocateofthetinyhomemovement.Alotofpeopledon'tknowaboutthismovement.Canyoutellouraudiencewhatit'sabout?M:well,it'smainlyaboutincreasinghomeownershipandprotectingtheenvironment.W:Ofcourse,thosearegreatgoals.ButI'veseenyourblog,andyouwriteabouthousesthatareassmallas20squaremeters.That'snotarealisticsizeforfamilies.M:Idotalkaboutverysmallhomes,butthere'snosetdefinitionofatinyhome.Andotherpeopleincludehomesthataremuchlarger,say,60squaremeters.Andyou'dbesurprisedmanyfamiliesoffourarehappylivinginhousesthatareunder30squaremeters.W:Butlthinkmostofuswantspacioushomes.Theaveragenewhouseinthisareais150squaremeters.Andthat'swhatpeopledreamofowning.M:Yes,butIthinkthatdreamneedstochange,consideringthecostofhousing.W:Housingcostsarehigh,butdopeoplereallysavethatmuchbyhavingasmallerhome?M:Absolutely.Manypeoplewhocanonlyaffordtorentalargehomeareabletobuyatinyhome.Inthiscity,theaveragehomecosts$200,000,andatinyhomecostsjust$50,000.w:Thosearehugesavings.M:So,tinyhomesmightnotbeforeveryone,butthey'reagoodoptionformany.W:Youmentionedtheenvironmentearlier.Howdoesthisbenefittheplanet?M:Well,ifpeoplehavesmallerhomes,theyuselesslandandfewerresourcestobuildthem.

B)共同努力改善當?shù)厣鐓^(qū)。C)觀眾參與《早間秀》。

D)自有住房率以及環(huán)境保護。【解析】在對話開頭，女士告訴男士很多人不了解小戶型住宅運動，所以請他告知觀眾這項運動是關于什么的，男士回答說這項運動主要是關于增加自有住房率以及環(huán)境保護的，所以答案是D項。A、B兩項對話中沒有提到，故排除;C項是利用對話細節(jié)設置的干擾項，故也排除。

ConversationTwo13.Whatdoesthewomansayabouthousesassmallas20squaremeters?A)Notarealisticsizeforfamilies.B)NotwelcomedbymostAmericans.C)Onlyfitforfamiliesoffourorless.D)Onlysuitableforrentingtothepoor.W:Ofcourse,thosearegreatgoals.ButI'veseenyourblog,andyouwriteabouthousesthatareassmallas20squaremeters.[13]That'snotarealisticsizeforfamilies.【答案詳解】13.Whatdoesthewomansayabouthousesassmallas20squaremeters?關于面積小至20平方米的房子，女士說了什么?A)對很多家庭來說面積不太現(xiàn)實。

B)不受大多數(shù)美國人歡迎。C)只適合四口或四口以下的家庭。D)只適合租給窮人。【解析】在對話中，女士提到她看過男士的博客，他所寫的那些房子面積小到只有20平方米，然后她評價道，對于很多家庭來說，這樣的面積并不現(xiàn)實，所以答案是A項。雖然對話中女士提到大多數(shù)人想要寬敞的房子，但不能由此推出面積小至20平方米的房子不受大多數(shù)美國人歡迎，B項過度推斷，故排除;對話中男士提到很多四口之家住在不到30平方米的房子里也過得很開心，但是女士對此并沒有作任何評價，故排除C項;D項對話中沒有相關信息，故排除。

A)它應該被改變。

B)它不容易實現(xiàn)。C)它遲早會實現(xiàn)。D)它對普通家庭沒有吸引力。【解析】在對話中，女士提到150平方米的房子才是人們夢想擁有的房子，男士對此的評價是，考慮到住房成本，這個夢想需要改變了，所以答案是A項。其他三項對話中沒有相關信息，故均排除。

ConversationTwo15.Whatdoesthemansayabouttinyhomes?A)Theyhelptolowerhousingprices.B)Theyhelptosaveupforlargerhouses.C)Theyareagoodchoiceformanypeople.D)Theyarevitaltoreducingwasteworldwide.M:[15]So,tinyhomesmightnotbeforeveryone,butthey'reagoodoptionformany.【答案詳解】15.Whatdoesthemansayabouttinyhomes?關于小戶型住宅，男士說了什么?A)它們有助于降低房價。

B)它們有助于為購買更大的房子存錢。

C)它們對很多人來說是個不錯的選擇。D)它們對減少全球浪費至關重要。【解析】在對話中，男士總結(jié)道小戶型住宅可能并不適合所有人，但對很多人來說是個不錯的選擇，所以答案是C項。雖然男士提到小戶型住宅對環(huán)境有益處，即建造時使用更少的土地和資源，但并沒有強調(diào)其對減少全球浪費至關重要，對此沒有相關的明確表述，故排除D項;A、B兩項對話中沒有相關信息，故均排除。SectionCDirections:Inthissection,youwillhearthreepassages.Attheendofeachpassage,youwillhearthreeorfourquestions.Boththepassageandthequestionswillbespokenonlyonce.Afteryouhearaquestion,youmustchoosethebestanswerfromthefourchoicesmarkedA),B)C)andD).ThenmarkthecorrespondingletteronAnswerSheet1withasinglelinethroughthecentre.Questions16to18arebasedonthepassageyouhavejustheard.16.A)Playoutdoorsandenjoythemselves.B)Beatchallengesandtakerisks.C)Takecareoftheirwell-being.D)Growupstrongandhealthy.17.A)Enablethemtodeveloptheirmotorskills.B)Helpthemtoconcealtheirfrustration.C)Reducetheirstressanddepression.D)Preventthemfromfeelinglonely.18.A)Itbeginsearly.B)Itprovesdemanding.C)Itcallsforlifelongefforts.D)Itliesinnatureexperiences.PassageOne·聽力原文·Kidsneedtimeeverydaytorun,jump,stretchandplay.Theseexperienceshavebeenshowntobuildchildren'sconfidenceandpleasureinphysicalactivities,developtheirmotorskills,andevenimproveemotionalwell-being.Tobeginwith,childrenseemtohaveanaturaldesiretoovercomechallengesandtakerisks.Takinghealthyrisksthroughphysicalmovementbuildschildren'sconfidenceandabilitytosolveproblemsandpersistthroughfrustration.Secondly,movementactivitiesbuildchildren'sbigbodyskillssuchascoordinationandbalance,aswellasthefinemotorskillstheyneedfortaskslikewriting,tyingtheirshoes,orthrowingandcatchingaball.Thirdly,accordingtotheAmericanPsychologicalAssociation,regularphysicalactivity(andespeciallyoutdooractivity)reduceschildren'sstressanddepression,andimprovestheirabilitytofocusandlearn.Regularexercisecansignificantlyimproveself-regulationanddecreasedisciplinaryconsequencesfornegativebehavior.Physicalactivityprovidesapositiveoutletforfrustration,anxiety,orangerandcanbecomeahealthycopingskillthroughoutlife.Finally,weknowthatphysicalactivityisimportantforourphysicalandmentalhealth,andcultivatingthehabitofphysicalactivitystartsearly.Childrenaremorelikelytodevelopalifelongloveofphysicalactivityfromfrequentpositiveearlyexperiences.Noteverychildenjoyscompetitivesportsorplayingwithballsandthat'sOK.Thereareplentyofotheroptionssuchasimaginativeplay,non-competitivegames,andgardeningornatureexperiences.
