【原文】M: Are you still going to the local park every day?
W: Of course! And I’m so happy we were both invited to help look after the park.
M: Me too. ⑩We’ve done quite a lot in our roles as volunteers there. Our background as scientists
really helps our work.
W: It certainly does. I’ve enjoyed getting involved in various projects about birds.
M: Yeah. I’ve also loved walking among the trees. ⑪It’s amazing how the newly planted ones have stopped
growing in height, but grown in width recently so that they spread out their branches.
W: Yeah … ⑫But I’m worried that tourists ignore the fact that the park is a conservation area. There is so much
rubbish dropped everywhere. But maybe it’s because it’s a well-known tourist attraction. It’s difficult to ask
everyone to stop using the trees as a playground.
M: Mm, you’re right. Anyway, tomorrow I’m going to help out with making whatever’s still needed there. It’s great
we got the shelters done so that tourists can go birdwatching and still stay dry.
W: And those plant pots we made will be useful, too.
M: Yeah, ⑬now I’d like to get on with making some bird boxes — there just aren’t quite enough in the park at the
moment.
W: I’ll come with you!

W: Here in this coffee shop. There's space for live music, food, and lots of activities for kids.

W: We considered it. But it wasn't available then. Then we decided either here or the park. Finally, we chose this

W: My brother works in the theater and he knows I have an acting background, so he invited me to give it a go. I
did and loved it, although I didn't get paid.
M: You surely love acting.
W: To be honest, I'm doing it because I love helping the children.
M: It's kind of you! How often do you volunteer?

W: Oh, I just joined a few weeks ago, and I'm working for free! The owners and employees are looking for people
with marketing experience like you, so I thought you'd be the perfect fit.
M: Sure! I'd love to use my professional skills for this great cause. Have you rescued any animals?
W: Yes. That's how I got involved with this mission. Last year, I attended a pet adoption event and realized the
importance of giving shelter pets a chance.
M: Impressive! I've thought about getting my first pet for years, and adopting one in the next year would be perfect.
W: Great. We organize monthly pet adoption events at Central Park. We bring cute animals outside and teach
families and local people about responsible pet ownership for an entire weekend.
M: Awesome. I want to get involved.
W: I'll put you on the list for next month's volunteer team. Luckily, we have plenty of funding. So, we're now trying

【答案】14. A 15. C 16. B 17. C
【原文】M: According to an article published by the United Nations on their website, the population is expected to
reach over 9 billion by 2050.
W: That's not good news for us. In a newspaper article, I just saw that an influential company believes we won't be
able to produce enough food starting this year. Sounds so scary.
M: Then what should we do to handle this situation?
W: I think there is a phenomenon that needs changing first. I saw a TV show about restaurants. A cook said they
have to throw away the food left by the customers, which causes a large amount of waste. So we need to avoid
ordering too much when eating out.
M: I agree with you. Well, I remember a nonprofit organization that aims to improve farming technology. Farmers
may produce more food but use fewer resources in the future.
W: Technology is quite essential in improving our lives.
M: You're right. Now they are raising funds for the project on their website. I'm going to make a contribution. It
sounds like a worthy cause.

【原文】W: Good evening, and welcome to the ten o’clock news.
First, let’s look at the weather: Tomorrow is expected to be dry and bright, with top temperatures reaching 15
degrees. This weather should last for a few days until Thursday. However, from the evening of that day, due to a
cold front from the West, temperatures are expected to drop sharply to 10 or 7 degrees across most of the country,
with showers in the South.
Now, tonight’s top stories:
A man, from Orleans, France, has just completed a walk across much of mainland Europe. The man set off from
Paris, 75 days ago. He completed his 1450-mile trip today as he arrived in Istanbul. He was greeted by people,
many of whom followed his journey through his online blog. The trip was certainly eventful. He slept in a tent
along the way and was fed by local people. The money he has raised will go to local children’s charities.
A new recipe book is on sale in shops this week. The book, written by the local primary school children, includes
regional and international dishes. All of the earnings of the book will go to the local schools involved. They will be
used to buy new kitchen equipment for the school canteens.

W: Thank you for listening to my presentation on Dolly Parton today. I'm not using a PowerPoint. so you might
want to take a few notes because I'm going to tell you some interesting things. Let's start with her back-ground.
Yes, many country singers start out from poor backgrounds, but Dolly Parton's family was so poor that when she
was born, her father paid the doctor with a bag of corn. She loved singing, but when she was asked to sing on a
local TV show, her mean classmates locked her in the classroom so she would miss her chance. She moved to
Nashville after high school and got a job writing songs, though she is most recognized for her performance skills
now. Being famous hasn't always been easy, of course. Even if she changes her hair and clothing style, people
always recognize her voice. But unlike some stars, she has kept close to her home. She started a business in the
poor city where she was born, and she also started a program that gives free books to poor children. If this
information sounds too strange to be true, you should look it up and read about this interesting country singer
yourself. I hope you'll all be inspired by knowing more about her life story.
