14、ection A 1 【听 力原文】 (1)Just because a toys packaging says its educational doesnt make it so. Thats the finding from a new study in JAMA Pediatrics that found some toys being marketed as language promoters got in the way of learning. Research shows that for kids to understand, speak and eventually rea

15、d or write a language, they need to hear it lots of it. And its never too early for parents and caregivers to get talking. That explains the booming industry in talking electronic toys that claim to help kids learn language. (2)The study focused on roughly two-dozen children between the ages of 10 a

16、nd 16 months old. Researchers outfitted them with little microphones tucked into special vests or shirts that could record the infants playing at home with Mom or Dad. 1. Whats the finding of the new study in JAMA Pediatrics? 2. How many children does the research focus on? 1 【正确答案】 B 【试题解析】 新闻开头提到，

17、包装上说有教育功能的 (educational)并不能真正让玩具有教育意义 (doesnt make it so)，意下之义即一些标榜有教育意义的玩具实际上并不能做到这一点，故 B正确。 A“一些玩具的包装对小孩的健康有害 ”利用package一词作干扰，并没有实质根据。 C“有必要让孩子尽快多说话很有必要 ”符合事实，但并非研究的发现。 D中的 microphones具有干扰性，因为录音最后提到研究人员把小麦克风塞进特殊背心或衬衫，用于记录，但这只是研究的过程，并不是研究发现的成果。 【知识模块】 听力 2 【正确答案】 D 【试题解析】 选项均为数字，可推断本题为数字题。新闻提到研究的对象

18、是年龄在 10到 16个月的 24个孩子，故答案为 D。这道题主要考的是 dozen的用法，录音中提到 roughly two-dozen children，因 为 a dozen是 12个， two dozen就是 24个了。 【知识模块】 听力 3 【听力原文】 In the last few years, the face of undocumented immigration to the U.S. has changed and so has the business of human smuggling. (3)Make no mistake, migrating illegall

19、y across the U.S.-Mexico border is a well established, booming business. Today on the show, we meet a businessman and a client in the evolving industry of human smuggling. For some context consider the changes in recent years: Mexican immigrants have actually been leaving America. Meanwhile, (4)Cent

20、ral American immigration is on the rise. This shift caused alarm when unaccompanied children from Honduras, El Salvador and Guatemala started showing up at the border seeking shelter. A new wave of people were making their way up through Mexico, trying to cross rivers and deserts to escape poverty a

21、nd gang violence. And many of the people doing this were paying dearly for it. 3. What do we learn about the industry of human smuggling in the U.S.-Mexico border? 4. Whose immigration to America is on the rise? 3 【正确答案】 A 【试题解析】 新闻开头提到，在美国和墨西哥边境，非法移民的 “业务 ”体系完善，发展兴旺 (a well established， booming bus

22、iness)， A中 flourishing是 booming的同义表达，故 A为答案。 B“一个衰退的产业 ”和 C“被政府取缔 ”均与新闻内容相反。新闻中说有改变的是 undocumented immigration“没有身份的移民 ”，而不是“人口偷渡 ”这一行业。 【知识模块】 听力 4 【正确答案】 B 【试题解析】 新闻中提到墨 西哥移民实际上正在逐渐离开美国，与此同时，中美洲的移民数量在上涨，故 B为答案。原文是说墨西哥的移民实际上正在逐渐离开美国，并没有提到上涨，排除 A和 C。 D“洪都拉斯 ”在新闻末尾出现，但原文是说来自洪都拉斯、萨尔瓦多、危地马拉国家的孩子正在寻求避难所

23、。 【知识模块】 听力 5 【听力原文】 (5)Tucked inside the U.S. governments latest update to its official eating advice is this recommendation: “Drink water instead of sugary drinks“ also known as soda. The frankness of this statement is remarkable, in part, because the Dietary Guidelines released Thursday are, in o

24、ther ways, anything but direct. For instance, as weve reported, instead of explicitly telling Americans to cut their intake of red and processed meats, as an advisory panel of nutrition experts had recommended, (6)the final guidelines hint at meat reduction in subtle terms. That change in messaging

25、may have been linked to pressure from the meat industry. By contrast, the governments language on choosing water over sugary drinks is as clear as a glass of pure water. It is not, however, all that easy to find. We spotted it inside this MyPlate, My Wins tip sheet, part of a new campaign the U.S. D

26、epartment of Agriculture also launched Thursday. MyPlate, if you recall, is the symbol of a dinner plate divided into portions of fruits and vegetables, grains and proteins that replaced the food pyramid released four years ago. (7)MyPlate is for the general public. Its an image that ends up in nutr

27、ition education materials in doctors offices, textbooks, school cafeterias and lots of other places. 5. Whats the U.S. governments latest official eating advice? 6.

28、方饮食建议是建议人们喝水而不要喝含糖饮料即苏打水，可以得出答案是 C。 A“含糖饮料 ”和 B“苏打水 ”都是新闻明确建议不要喝的， D“可乐 ”也是含糖饮料的一种，故排除。 【知识模块】 听力 6 【正确答案】 A 【试题解析】 新闻中提到，最终的膳食指南只是用不明确的字眼 (subtle terms)来建议来降低食肉类，作出这一改变可能与来自肉类制造业的压力有关 (pressure from the meat industry)，故 A正确。 【知识模块】 听力 7 【正确答案】 D 【试题解析】 新闻末尾提到， MyPlate is for the general public，说明 M

29、yPlate的目标群体是一般大众，故答案是 D。因为新闻中提到水果蔬菜，会使人联想到B“肥胖人群 ”，但新闻主题是围绕健康的饮食建议展开的，并没有刻意针对肥胖人群，故可排除 B。 A“小孩 ”和 C“偏瘦人群 ”均没有在新闻中提到。 【知识模块】 听力 Section B 8 【听力原文】 M: Excuse me, is this the ad department?
