听力原文与答案

Section A

Conversation One

M: Have you decide d what you wish to study?

W: Yes, professor. I wish to study architecture.

M: Ah, that’s a wonderful profession. Why did you choose it?

W: I gave a lot of thought to things you said during our last discussion. (1) And I decided architecture

made the most sense for me. In particular, I’m attracted to the marriage of design and engineering.

M: That’s great, but I seem to remember you were preoccupied with all the lofty mathematics. You no

longer think this aspect will be too hard for you?

W: No. I was doing some online research and I think I should be able to manage. (2) Math might be the

toughest subject I encounter in the curriculum, but I’ll simply put in the work required. I’m certain the

fruits of my labor will pay off.

M: I’m sure that’s true. Due to its material nature, architecture is one field where you will be able to

clearly witness the contribution you make to a city. (3) And the legacies you build will last much

longer than any of us mortals.

W: Yeah, I guess that’s true too. So what subjects do you think I should start brushing up on in

preparation? I have the whole summer.

M: These days, architecture is a very diverse and dynamic degree. Most universities will encourage

you to learn different things from fields as wide-ranging as philosophy and economics. Nevertheless, (4)

I would suggest you start with computer science, because there will be many intricate visuals you will

have to produce as part of your projects.

W: Any software in particular you think I should start with?

M: Photoshop is a good place. If you aren’t yet, try to become as proficient as you can with it. And

another thing that I would recommend you learn as much as you can is fine arts, in particular, the

history of Western art.

Questions 1 to 4 are based on the conversation you have just heard.

Q1. Why does the woman wish to study architecture? 答案: A)

Q2. How does the woman say she will overcome the difficulty in learning mathematics? 答案: D)

Q3. What does the man say about architects’ contribution to a city? 答案: C)

Q4. What subject does the man suggest the woman start with? 答案: A)

Conversation Two

W: So, as I mentioned over the phone, we are looking for someone who is very discreet. I can’t stress

this enough.

M: I fully understand.

W: As we all know, (5) being such a famous football player at Real Madrid, Mr Sanchez has a very

high public profile. This means he cannot leave the house without being recognized and harassed.

M: Yes, I completely understand how imperative it would be to respect Mr Sanchez’s private life.

W: Good. (6) As his personal assistant, you would be required to run common everyday chores for Mr

Sanchez, things he cannot do himself due to his fame, like going to the supermarket or post office. So,

well, at first sight it may appear that working for a celebrity is very glamorous. Nothing could be

further from the truth. I’m telling you this so that you don’t get any false expectations of what the job

has to offer you.

M: Thanks. I understand this too. (7) This is my first job after graduating from university. So frankly, I

don’t have much prior working experience. I am, however, very excited about the prospect of joining

this company and very keen to start from the bottom in whatever capacity I may be of use.

W: That’s good to hear. You sound very energetic. Tell me why do you think you are well suited for

this job?

M: Well, firstly, I love football. I’m a lifelong Real Madrid supporter and go to their games every

weekend I can. I would simply love to have a job where I’m involved in some capacity with Real

Madrid, regardless of the position and salary. (8-1) And secondly, I think what this company does in

sports consultancy is very cool. And I think my language skills could prove very useful down the road.

W: Please tell me more about your language skills.

M: (8-2) I am fully fluent in English and Spanish and have a working proficiency in French.

Questions 5 to 8 are based on the conversation you have just heard.

Q5. What do we learn from the conversation about Mr Sanchez? 答案: B)

Q6. What will the man do if he gets the job? 答案: D)

Q7. What does the man say about himself? 答案: D)

Q8. Why does the man think he is a very competitive candidate? 答案: C)

Section B

Passage One

(9) Adventure sports are undeniably attractive to many energetic and thrill-seeking kids. Sports like

rock climbing, surfing, skiing, and mountain biking, thus have lots of appeal. They don’t have many of

the rules and pressures of traditional team sports, but they still have all the benefits of outdoor physical

activity. When properly supervised, extreme sports can be a part of a healthy, balanced life.

Some adventure sports may be associated with higher risks of injury, so it’s important for kids to figure

out when to take risks, and when not to. (10) Risk-free activities deprive kids of the opportunity to test

themselves and overcome their fears.

But, to some, these very risks are what makes these sports a bad choice. They say that extreme sports

can often lead to devastating injuries, especially as young thrill seekers may attempt feats that are too

advanced for them.

But let’s be real. Most kids do all kinds of dangerous stuff whether you want them to or not. Adventure

sports have many of the same risks and dangers. But, they have an additional sense of adventure,

courage and autonomy that is important to foster in young children. As always, it’s up to parents to

decide what’s best for their kids. (11) But, if you do decide that adventure sports are a bit too much, do

try to introduce other forms of outdoor adventures into their lives. Camping under the stars, fishing,

stargazing, or even just playing in the woods can help a lot in building the same sense of

self-confidence and risk-taking as in adventure sports.

Questions 9 to 11 are based on the passage you have just heard.

Q9. Why do extreme sports appeal to many kids? 答案: A)

Q10. What does the speaker say about risk-free activities? 答案: B)

Q11. What shall parents do if they decide adventure sports are a bit too much for their kids? 答案: C)
