听力解析
11.A)Themanfailedtokeephispromise.
该题可用排除法得出答案。从对话中可知，男士忘了将女士的书带来，而女士的那本书是她从图书馆借来
的。同时女士也明确表明周五晚上是最后期限，男士必须在此之前还她，因此答案是A，因为男士没有信
守承诺，将书带给女士。
12.C)Thewomanshouldspendmoretimeoutdoors.
该题关键是弄懂医生说的那句话，因为女士一天到晚呆在室内接受人工光源的照射，于是身体无法自动调
节时间，因此医生认为女士应该多出去走走，做一些户外活动。
13.D)ItisnotagoodideatobuytheT-shirt.
该对话中，男士想要买那些T恤，但女士认为“你会后悔的。他们很贵，同时她还听说这种T恤洗的时候
容易褪色”，因此女士明显是自己没买那件T恤，同时也不想让男士买那些T恤。
14.B)Mostreadersdonotsharehisviewpoints.
对话中女士赞扬男士发表的文章非常好，论点很有说服力。男士的回答是，就读者总体反映来看，他们两
个人绝对是出于少数人的行列，也就是说只有少数人认为赞同男士在文章中的论点。
15.A)LeaveDaisyaloneforthetimebeing.
由女士说的“ifIwereyou,I’dlethercooloffafewdaysbeforeIapproachher”，因此，女士希望男士先让Daisy
冷静几天，等怒气消停了再说。cooloff意为“冷静，平静下来，息怒”。
16.A)Batteries.
男士刚开始便问“whereIcangetbatteries…”，因此本文选A。
17.D)Themancangettheticketatitsoriginalprice.
该对话中，男士没买到票，而女士则刚好有，她身体不舒服，故而想将自己的票以原价转让给男士，故选
D。该文主要是由“Youcanhaveitforwhatitcostme”得出。
18.A)Thespeakerswilldressformallyfortheconcert.
对话中女士已表明，这是州交响乐团第一次到本市表演，因此必须要穿西装打领带，也就是着正装。
19.D)Heisundecidedastowhichjobtogofor.
文中开始部分女士问“Soyouarenotsurewhichtogofor?”，男士回答的是“That’sit.”表明男士还没决定应该
选哪份工作。

two-year contract which could be renewed, but theLanguage School is only offering a year’s
contract, and that’s adefiniteminus. It could berenewed, but you never know.

you areonly 23.
M:That’s true.

occur.From hisaudience analysis helearned that only 2or 3ofhis classmates knew much of
anything about geology.Juan realized then that hemust present hisspeech at an elementary level
and with aminimumofscientific language.
Ashe prepared thespeech, Juan kept asking himself, “Howcan Imake this clear andmeaningful to
someonewho knows nothing about earthquakes or geological principles?”Since hewas speaking
intheMidwest, he decided to begin bynotingthat themost severe earthquake inAmerican history
tookplace not in CaliforniaorAlaska but at NewMadrid, Missouriin1811. If such an earthquake
happened today,it would befelt from theRocky Mountains to theAtlanticOcean and would flatten
mostofthecities in theMississippi valley.That, he figured, should get hisclassmates’attention.
Throughout thebodyofthespeech,Juan dealt only with thebasicmechanics of earthquakes and
carefully avoided technical terms. He also prepared visualaids, diagramming fold lines, so his
classmates wouldn’t get confused. Tobeabsolutely safe, Juanasked his roommate, who was not a
geology major,to listento thespeech. “Stopme,” hesaid, “any timeIsay something you don’t
understand.” Juan’s roommatestopped him fourtimes.And at each spot, Juan worked out away to

Esperanto is an artificial language, designed to serve internationally asan auxiliary means of
communicationamong speakers ofdifferent languages. It was created byLudwig Lazar Zamenhof,
aPolish Jewish doctor specialized ineye diseases. Esperanto was first presented in 1887.An
international movement was launched topromoteits use. Despite arguments and disagreements, the
淘宝店铺：https://shop499712503.taobao.com/ 店主旺旺：慧园文化movement has continued to flourish and has members in morethan 80countries.
Esperanto is used internationally across language boundaries byat least 1millionpeople,

numberofpublications as well as intranslations ofbothmodern works and classics. Its popularity
has spread form Europe, both east and west, tosuch countries as Braziland Japan. It is, however,in

SectionC
George Herbert Mead said that humans are "talked into" humanity.Hemeant that we gain personal
identityas we communicatewith others. In theearliest years ofour lives,our parents tell us who
weare. "You're intelligent." "You're sostrong."Wefirst seeourselves through theeyes ofothers.
Sotheirmessages form important foundations of ourself-concepts. Later, weinteract with teachers,
friends, romantic partners and co-workers whocommunicate theirviews of us.Thus, howwesee
ourselves reflects theviews ofus that others communicate.
Theprofound connection between identity and communication is dramatically evident in children
who are deprived of human contact. Casestudies ofchildren who are isolated from others reveal
thatthey lack a firm self-concept, and theirmental and psychological development is severely
hindered bylack oflanguage.
Communication with others not only affects our senseofidentity,but also directly influences our
physical and emotional well-being. Consistently,research shows that communicating with others
promotes health, whereas social isolationis linked tostress, disease, andearly death. Peoplewho
lack closefriends have greaterlevels ofanxietyand depression than people who are close to others.
Agroup ofresearchers reveal scores ofstudies that trace therelationship between health and
interaction with others.Theconclusion was that social isolationis statisticallyas dangerous as high
