17、 work suggests a rise in the number of people who are overweight or obese would contribute to 4.6 million additional cases of type-2 diabetes and 1.6 million extra cases of heart disease by 2035.

18、e tax on sugary drinks and a review of how food is advertised online.

19、ut? 2. What does the report suggest to tackle the problem? 1 【正确答案】 B 【试题解析】 新闻开篇第一句是总起句，指出肥胖和超重问题会引发未来几十万例癌症和其他健康问题 (bringing a host of health issues)，之后又具体指出问题的严重性及解决方法，故选 B“超重可以引发健康问题 ”。 A“英国的专家正在处理一大堆健康问题 ”偏离重点。 C将重点放在 “肥胖人数上升 ”这一趋势上，也是偏离重点。 D“小孩喝太多软饮料 ”没有在新闻提到。 【知识模块】 听力 2 【正确答案】 A 【试题解析】 新闻中提到

20、解决问题的方法之一是对含糖 饮料收更多的税 (a 20 pence per litre tax on sugary drinks)，所以答案选 A。 B“禁放软饮料广告 ”与新闻中 “审查 (review)食物广告 ”不符。 C“垃圾食品店应关门 ”和 D“儿童不能看电视节目 ”未在新闻中提到。 【知识模块】 听力 3 【听力原文】 Staring at a glowing iPhone screen in bed might be bad for your marriage, but in the future it will be a little easier on your eyes.

21、 Apple is adding a new mode called “Night Shift“ in the next version of its mobile operating system. The mode changes the screen from blue light to a warmer setting.

24、的光 (changes the screen from blue light to a warmer setting)， A将新闻中的 change替换成了其同 义词 shift，为本题答案。 B“能帮助人们入睡 ”过度推断，新闻中提到的是蓝光会干扰人们的生物钟，影响睡眠，但这并不代表转换光线就能改善睡眠。 C“能帮助人们定位和夜间导航 ”，新闻中没有提到导航功能。 D只是复现新闻中的 biological clock，新闻并没有说 “新模式可以记录人们的生物钟 ”。 【知识模块】 听力 4 【正确答案】 C 【试题解析】 新闻末尾部分提到，新的教育系统能让教师控制学生的账号、安排课程和教材，

25、所以本题选 C。 A“教师能够共享学生信息 ”没有在新闻提到。 B“能够登录学生的银 行账号 ”利用新闻中的 account作干扰，新闻是说教师有管理员的账户 (admin account)。 D“能够在线教育 ”没有在新闻中提到。 【知识模块】 听力 5 【听力原文】 Three Italian consumer groups have accused McDonalds of burdening authorized stores with excessive rents, high royalties and restrictive contracts. The groups, whic

26、h are backed by the Service Employees International Union, have filed the antitrust complaint with the European Commission and asked the regulator to open a formal investigation. McDonalds abuse of its dominant market position hurts everyone: authorized store owners, consumers, and workers. McDonald

27、s has roughly 6,000 authorized restaurants in Europe that pay to use the companys branding. According to the consumer groups arguments, McDonalds charges the rents that are up to 10 times higher than market rates. These rents account for 66% of all revenue collected from authorized stores in Europe,

28、 the groups claimed. A European Commission spokesperson said the group had received the complaint, and will now examine it. McDonalds, meanwhile, defended its business model, saying it “has helped create the best business opportunities for our authorized stores and the best overall experience for ou

31、es with excessive rents)， C中的 overpriced指 “价格过高的 ”，该项与新闻所述相符。 A错在 3000，新闻是说大概有 6000授权店。 B“品牌租赁费和市场价格一样高 ”与新闻不符，新闻说其价格是市场价格的 10倍 (10 times higher than market rates)。 D错在 consumers，麦当劳收到来自特许经销商的投诉 ，并非消费者的投诉。 【知识模块】 听力 6 【正确答案】 A 【试题解析】 关于麦当劳的经营模式，麦当劳声称这种模式给经销商带来了最好的商业机会 (helped create the best busines

32、s opportunities for our store owners)，故选 A。 B“给消费者提供了廉价的食物 ”没有在新闻中提到。 C“收益比竞争对手多 ”，新闻提到的是特许经销商 66的收益给了麦当劳。 D“占领了欧洲 66的市场 ”中的 66的确有在新闻中提到，但新闻中的 66是品牌租赁费 占特许经营店利润的 66。 【知识模块】 听力 7 【正确答案】 A 【试题解析】 新闻中提到，麦当劳在欧洲被调查，是由于税收问题 (failing to pay some taxes in both Luxembourg and the U S )，故选 A。 B“不支付美国的最低工资 ”和

Im not interested in literature and that sort of thing. I want to be a real teacher, Professor. Actually

36、, teaching is what appeals to me, but Im worried about the make-up credits. I have been taking a lot of courses in English. W: You usually do have to make up some credits when you switch majors. Are you OK on credits? M: Not too many. Ill have to add about 12 credits as far as I can figure from my t

37、ranscript. Would you please let me know how many credits are required to get a masters degree? W: Usually thirty-six credits are needed. If you take five courses per term, youll have enough credits after just two semesters. Usually each course is worth three credits. To get the six remaining credits

W: Well, many students carry a lighter load, especially in the first term. M: Is there anything else besi

39、des the 36 credits for the masters? W: You have to have an oral defense. M: I see. All this about credits was so complicated but now I have more confidence.

42、at the entrance of the main building? W: Yeah, of course. It looks funny, though, like a battery. Whats it for? Is it really for garbage? M: Not really. Actually its a dustbin for used batteries. W: Used batteries? What do you mean by that? Why do we need a special dustbin for used batteries? M: Wel

W: Oh, I see. Can this work? Our efforts are too insignificant. M: Even though we are not e

44、cologists or biologists, there is still a lot we can do.

And I feel that much of the world has somehow gotten away from that. Too often I see people rushing into elevators without giving those inside a chance to get off first, or never saying “thank you“ when others hold a door open for them. We get lazy and in our laziness we think that something like a simple “thank you“ doesnt really matter. But it can matter very much. The
