22、many students, returning back to their home countries can be a very confusing experience called Re-entry Shock. W: Re-entry Shock! That sounds quite interesting. Can you explain it?

28、 all scream for water when thirsty. But do you know in very hot, dry weather, plants also make faint sounds-as if they are crying out for help? You see, in a plants stem, there are hundreds of water pipes that bring water and minerals from the soil all the way up to the leaves. As the ground turns d

29、ry, it becomes harder and harder for the plants to do this. In severe droughts, plants have to fight to pull out any water available. Scientist Robert Winter has found out that when it is really bad, their water pipes snap from the tension like rubber bands. When that happens, the whole plant vibrat

30、es a little. The snapping pipes make noises10,000 times more quiet than a whisper. Robert knows that healthy, well-watered plants are quiet. He also knows that many insects prefer attacking dry plants rather than healthy plants. How do the insects know which are healthy plants and which are not? Rob

31、ert thinks that the insects may listen for the plants that cry. And then they may buzz in to kill. To test this theory, Robert is using a device that can imitate plant cries. He attaches it to a quiet, healthy plant so the plant sounds thirsty. Then he watches the insects to see if they attack more

32、often than usual. If he is right, scientists could use the insects ability against them. They could build traps that imitate crying plants, so when the insects buzz in to eat, they wont buzz out. Questions 9 to 11 are based on the passage you have just heard. 9. What do plants do when they are thirs

33、ty? 10. What plants do many insects tend to attack? 11. What could scientists do if Roberts theory proves to be true? 9 【正确答案】 B 【知识模块】 听力 10 【正确答案】 A 【知识模块】 听力 11 【正确答案】 C 【知识模块】 听力 12 【听力原文】 The worlds smartest adolescents in mathematics and science are in Singapore, according to a global survey o

34、f educational achievement. In the 3rd International Mathematics and Science Study,13-year-olds from Singapore achieved the best scores in standardized tests of maths and science that were administered to 287,896 students in 41 countries. The survey suggests that science and maths education is especi

35、ally strong in the Far East. While well behind those top scores, students from Australia earned higher marks in maths than their counterparts in England, who in turn did better than American students. The study collected information on the students, teachers and homes. Not surprisingly, the highest-

36、scoring students had well-educated parents or came from homes containing study aids such as computers, dictionaries or even such elemental facilities as desks. The study shows that boys did generally better than girls in science, but there was little difference between them in maths. Boys scored bet

37、ter than girls in physics and chemistry. There were no sex differences in the life and environmental sciences. In addition to being tested, students in the project were asked how proficient they thought they were in maths and science. Students in some countries, such as Columbia and Kuwait, had an o

38、verly optimistic view of their skills. Meanwhile, some of the best students from Japan and Korea for example were needlessly pessimistic even though they did far better in maths than almost all the other students. Questions 12 to 15 are based on the passage you have just heard. 12. Of the 4 groups o

39、f students, who scored the lowest in maths according to the survey? 13. What kind of students are most likely to become top scorers? 14.

So what do you think happens when you pat a twenty something on the head and you say, “You have 10 extra years to start you

41、r life“? Nothing happens. You have robbed that person of his urgency and ambition, and absolutely nothing happens. And then every day, smart, interesting twentysomethings like you or like your sons and daughters come into my office and say things like this: “I know my boyfriends no good for me, but

42、this relationship doesnt count. Im just killing time.“ Or they say, “Everybody says as long as I get started on a career by the time Im 30,Ill be fine.“ But then it starts to sound like this: “My 20s are almost over, and I have nothing to show for myself. I had a better rsum the day after I graduate

43、d from college.“ And then it starts to sound like this: “Dating in my 20s was like musical chairs. Everybody was running around and having fun, but then sometime around 30 it was like the music turned off and everybody started sitting down. I didnt want to be the only one left standing up, so someti

44、mes I think I married my husband because he was the closest chair to me at 30.“ Where are the twentysomethings here? Do not do that. Okay, make no mistake, the stakes are very high. When a lot has been pushed to your 30s,there is enormous thirty something pressure to jump-start a career, pick a city

45、, and have two or three kids in a much shorter period of time. Many of these things are incompatible, simply harder and more stressful to do all at once in our 30s. The midlife crisis in the 21st century isnt buying a red sports car. Its realizing you cant have that career you now want. Its realizin

46、g you cant have that child you now want. Too many thirtysomethings and forty somethings look at themselves, and at me, sitting across the room, and say about their 20s,“What was I doing? What was I thinking?“ Questions 16 to 18 are based on the recording you have just heard. 16. What did Leonard Ber

48、ne of the finest universities in the world. I never graduated from college. Truth be told, this is the closest Ive ever gotten to a college graduation. Today I want to tell you three stories from my life. Thats it. No big deal. Just three stories. The first story is about connecting the dots. I drop

49、ped out of Reed College after the first 6 months, but then stayed around as a drop-in for another 18 months or so before I really quit. So why did I drop out? It started before I was born. My biological mother was a young, unmarried college graduate student, and she decided to put me up for adoption. She felt very strongly that I should be adopted by college graduates, so everything was all set for me to be adopted at birth by a lawyer and his wife. Except that when I popped out they decided at the last minute that they really wanted a girl. So my parent
