Directions: In this section, you will hear two passages. At the end of each passage, you will hear three or four questions. Both the passage and the questions will be spoken only once. After you hear a question, you must choose the best answer from the four choices marked A), B), C), and D). Then mark the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 1 with a single line through the centre.
Passage one.
第一篇短文。
Birds are famous for carrying things around.
鸟类以四处携带物品而闻名。
Some, like homing pigeons, can be trained to deliver messages and packages.
一些鸟类,如信鸽,可以被训练来传递信息和包裹。
Other birds unknowingly carry seeds that cling to them for the ride.
其他鸟类则无意中携带附着在它们身上的种子,借此传播。
Canadian scientists have found a worrisome new example of the power that birds have to spread stuff around.
加拿大科学家发现了一个令人担忧的新例子,展示了鸟类传播物质的能力。
Way up north in the Canadian Arctic, seabirds are picking up dangerous chemicals in the ocean and delivering them to ponds near where the birds live.
在加拿大北极地区的遥远北方,海鸟在海洋中携带危险化学物质,并将它们带到鸟类栖息地附近的池塘中。
Some 10,000 pairs of the birds, called fulmars, a kind of Arctic seabird, make their nests on Devon Island, north of the Arctic Circle.
大约10,000对这种名为管鼻鹱的北极海鸟在北极圈以北的德文岛上筑巢。
The fulmars travel some 400 kilometers over the sea to find food.
管鼻鹱飞行大约400公里到海上寻找食物。
When they return home, their droppings end up all around their nesting sites, including in nearby ponds.
当它们返回家园时,它们的粪便遍布巢穴周围,包括附近的池塘。
Previously, scientists noticed pollutants arriving in the Arctic with the wind.
此前,科学家注意到污染物随风传播到北极。
Salmon also carry dangerous chemicals as the fish migrate between rivers and the sea.
鲑鱼在河流和海洋之间迁徙时也会携带危险化学物质。
The bodies of fish and other meat-eaters can build up high levels of the chemicals.
鱼类和其他肉食动物的体内会积累高水平的化学物质。
To test the polluting power of fulmars, researchers collected samples of deposit from 11 ponds on Devon Island.
为了测试管鼻鹱的污染能力,研究人员从德文岛上的11个池塘中采集了沉积物样本。
In ponds closest to the colony, the results showed there were far more pollutants than in ponds less affected by the birds.
在最接近鸟群的池塘中,结果显示污染物远远多于受鸟类影响较小的池塘。
The pollutants in the ponds appear to come from fish that fulmars eat when they're out on the ocean.
池塘中的污染物似乎来自管鼻鹱在海上捕食的鱼类。
People who live, hunt or fish near bird colonies need to be careful, the researchers say.
研究人员表示,居住在鸟群附近、或在附近狩猎或捕鱼的人需要小心。
The birds don't mean to cause harm, but the chemicals they carry can cause major problems.
鸟类并非有意造成危害,但它们携带的化学物质可能导致重大问题。

Passage 2.
篇章2。
In recent years, the death rate among American centenarians, people who have lived to age 100 or older, has decreased, dropping 14% for women and 20% for men from 2008 to 2014.
近年来,美国百岁老人(即活到100岁或以上的人)的死亡率有所下降,从2008年到2014年,女性下降了14%,男性下降了20%。
The leading causes of death in this age group are also changing.
这一年龄组的主要死因也在变化。
In 2000, the top five causes of death for centenarians were heart disease, stroke, flu, cancer and Alzheimer's disease.
2000年,百岁老人的前五大死因是心脏病、中风、流感、癌症和阿尔茨海默病。
But by 2014, the death rate from Alzheimer's disease for this age group had more than doubled, increasing from 3.
但到了2014年,这一年龄组因阿尔茨海默病的死亡率翻了一倍多,从3.
8% to 8 .
8%上升到8
5%, making the progressive brain disease the second leading cause of death for centenarians.
5%,使这种进行性脑部疾病成为百岁老人的第二大死因。
One reason for the rise in deaths from Alzheimer's disease in this group may be that developing this condition remains possible even after people beat the odds of dying from other diseases, such as cancer.
该群体中阿尔茨海默病死亡率上升的一个原因可能是,即使人们战胜了死于其他疾病(如癌症)的风险,患上这种疾病的可能性仍然存在。
People physically fit enough to survive over 100 years ultimately give in to diseases, such as Alzheimer's, which affects the mind and cognitive function.
身体足够健康以存活超过100岁的人最终会屈服于影响心智和认知功能的疾病,如阿尔茨海默病。
In other words, it appears their minds give out before their bodies do.
换句话说,似乎他们的思维先于身体衰退。
On the other hand, the death rate from flu dropped from 7.
另一方面,流感死亡率从7.
4% in 2000 to 4.
4%在2000年下降到4.
1% in 2014.
1%在2014年。
That pushed flu from the third leading cause of death to the fifth.
这使流感从第三大死因降至第五。
Overall, the total number of centenarians is going up.
总体而言,百岁老人的总数在上升。
In 2014, there were 72,197 centenarians, compared to 50,281 in 2000.
2014年,有72,197名百岁老人,而2000年为50,281名。
But because this population is getting larger, the number of deaths in this group is also increasing.
但由于这一群体越来越大,该群体中的死亡人数也在增加。
18,434 centenarians died in 2000, whereas 25 ,914 died in 2014.
2000年有18,434名百岁老人死亡,而2014年为25,914名。
Questions 12 to 15 are based on the passage you have just heard.
问题12至15基于你刚刚听到的篇章。
Question 13. What does the speaker say about the risk of dying for American centenarians in recent years?
问题13。关于近年来美国百岁老人的死亡风险,说话者说了什么?
Question 14. What does the speaker say about Alzheimer's disease?
问题14。关于阿尔茨海默病,说话者说了什么?
Question 15. What is characteristic of people who live up to 100 years and beyond?
问题15。活到100岁及以上的人有什么特点?
Directions: In this section you will hear three recordings of lectures or talks followed by three or four questions. The recordings will be played only once. After you hear a question, you must choose the best answer from the four choices marked A), B), C) and D). Then mark the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 1 with a single line through the centre.
Recording 1.
录音1.
OK, so let's get started.
好的,那么我们开始吧。
And to start things off, I think what we need to do is consider a definition.
首先,我认为我们需要考虑一个定义。
I'm going to define what love is, but then most of the experiments I'm going to talk about are really focused more on attraction than love.
我将定义爱是什么,但接下来我要讨论的大多数实验实际上更关注吸引力而非爱。
And I'm going to pick a definition from a former colleague, Robert Sternberg, who is now the Dean at Tufts University, but was here on our faculty at Yale for nearly 30 years.
我将从一位前同事罗伯特·斯滕伯格那里选取一个定义,他现在是塔夫茨大学的院长,但曾在耶鲁大学任教近30年。
And he has a theory of love that argues that it's made up of three components, intimacy, passion and commitment, or what is sometimes called decision commitment.
他有一个爱情理论,认为爱情由三个组成部分构成:亲密、激情和承诺,或有时被称为决策承诺。
And these are relatively straightforward.
这些相对直接明了。
He argued that you don't have love if you don't have all three of these elements.
他认为,如果不具备这三个要素,你就没有爱情。
Intimacy is the feeling of closeness, of connectedness with someone, of bonding.
亲密是与某人亲近、联结和依恋的感觉。
Operationally, you could think of intimacy as you share secrets, you share information with this person that you don't share with anybody else.
在操作层面,你可以将亲密理解为与这个人分享秘密,分享你不会与其他人分享的信息。
OK, that's really what intimacy is, the bond that comes from sharing information that isn't shared with other people.
好的,这就是亲密的本质,即通过分享不与他人分享的信息而形成的纽带。
The second element is passion.
第二个要素是激情。
Passion is the drive that leads to romance.
激情是导致浪漫的动力。
You can think of it as physical attraction.
你可以将其视为身体吸引力。
And Sternberg argues that this is a required component of a love relationship.
斯滕伯格认为,这是爱情关系的必要组成部分。
The third element of love in Sternberg's theory is what he calls decision commitment.
在斯滕伯格的理论中,爱情的第三个要素是他所称的决策承诺。
The decision that one is in a love relationship, the willingness to label it as such, and a commitment to maintain that relationship, at least for some period of time.
决定自己处于一段爱情关系中,愿意将其如此标记,以及维持这段关系的承诺,至少在一定时期内。
Sternberg would argue it's not love if you don't call it love, and if you don't have some desire to maintain the relationship.
斯滕伯格会认为,如果你不称之为爱,且没有维持这段关系的愿望,那就不是爱。
So if you have all three of these, intimacy, passion and commitment, in Sternberg's theory you have love.
因此,如果你具备所有这三个要素——亲密、激情和承诺,在斯滕伯格的理论中,你就拥有爱情。
Now what's interesting about the theory is what do you have if you only have one out of three, or two out of three?
现在,这个理论有趣之处在于,如果你只有三个中的一个或两个,你会拥有什么?
What do you have and how is it different if you have a different two out of three?
如果你有三个中不同的两个,你会拥有什么,以及有何不同?
What's interesting about this kind of theorising is it gives rise to many different combinations that can be quite interesting when you break them down and start to look at them carefully.
这种理论化的有趣之处在于,它产生了许多不同的组合,当你分解并仔细观察时,这些组合可能相当有趣。
So what I've done is I've taken Sternberg's three elements of love, intimacy, passion and commitment, and I've listed out the different kinds of relationships you would have if you had zero, one, two or three out of the three elements.
因此,我所做的就是取斯滕伯格的爱情三要素——亲密、激情和承诺,并列出如果你有零个、一个、两个或三个要素时你会拥有的不同关系类型。

Today, I'd like to talk about what happens when celebrity role models get behind healthy habits, but at the same time promote junk food.
今天,我想谈谈当名人榜样支持健康习惯的同时,却推广垃圾食品时会发生什么。
Currently, there's mounting criticism of Michelle Obama's Let's Move campaign, which fights childhood obesity by encouraging youngsters to become more physically active, and has signed on singer Beyonce and basketball player Shaquille O'Neal, both of whom also endorse sodas, which are a major contributor to the obesity epidemic.
目前,米歇尔·奥巴马的“让我们动起来”活动受到越来越多的批评,该活动通过鼓励青少年增加身体活动来对抗儿童肥胖症,并且已经签约歌手碧昂斯和篮球运动员沙奎尔·奥尼尔,而他们两人也为苏打饮料代言,这些饮料是肥胖流行病的主要因素。
Now, there's a lot more evidence of how powerful a celebrity, especially a professional athlete, can be in influencing children's behaviour.
现在,有更多证据表明名人,尤其是职业运动员,在影响儿童行为方面的力量有多大。
In a report published by the Rudd Centre for Food Policy and Obesity at Yale University, researchers studied 100 professional athletes and their endorsement contracts.
在耶鲁大学食品政策与肥胖研究中心发布的一份报告中,研究人员研究了100名职业运动员及其代言合同。
The team focused on athletes, since they are theoretically the best role models for active, healthy lifestyles for children.
团队专注于运动员,因为理论上他们是孩子们积极、健康生活方式的最佳榜样。
After sorting the deals by category, they determined that among the 512 brands associated with the athletes, most involved sporting goods, followed closely by food and beverage brands.
在按类别对交易进行分类后,他们确定在与运动员相关的512个品牌中,大多数涉及体育用品,其次是食品和饮料品牌。
Sports drinks, which are often high in sugar and calories, made up most of the food and drink deals, with soft drinks and fast food filling out the remainder.
运动饮料通常含糖和卡路里高,占据了食品和饮料交易的大部分,软饮料和快餐则填补了其余部分。
Of the 46 beverages endorsed by professional athletes, 93% relied exclusively on sugar for all of their calories.
在专业运动员代言的46种饮料中,93%的卡路里完全依赖糖分。
It's no surprise that high-profile athletes can influence children's eating behaviours, but the scientists were able to quantify how prevalent these endorsements are in the children's environment.
毫不奇怪,知名运动员能影响儿童的饮食行为,但科学家们能够量化这些代言在儿童环境中的普遍程度。
Advertisements featuring professional athletes and their endorsed products tend to get impressive exposure on TV, radio, in print and online.
以职业运动员及其代言产品为特色的广告往往在电视、广播、印刷品和在线上获得显著曝光。
And in 2010, the researchers reported that children ages 12 to 17 saw more athlete-endorsed food and beverage brand commercials than adults.
并且在2010年,研究人员报告说,12至17岁的儿童比成年人看到更多运动员代言的食品和饮料品牌广告。
One reason any campaign wants a popular celebrity spokesperson is because kids are attracted to them no matter what they are doing.
任何活动想要一个受欢迎的名人代言人的一个原因是,无论他们在做什么,孩子们都会被他们吸引。
We can't expect kids to turn off that admiration when the same person is selling sugar.
我们不能指望当同一个人在卖糖时,孩子们会关闭那种钦佩。
At best, kids might be confused.
最好的情况下,孩子们可能会感到困惑。
At worst, they'll think the messages about soda are the same as the messages about water.
最坏的情况下,他们会认为关于苏打饮料的信息和关于水的信息是一样的。
But those two beverages aren't the same.
但那两种饮料是不一样的。
If children are turning to athletes as role models, it's in their best interest if their idols are consistent.
如果孩子们将运动员视为榜样,那么他们的偶像保持一致符合他们的最佳利益。
Consistent messaging of positive behaviours will show healthier lifestyles for kids to follow.
关于积极行为的一致信息将展示更健康的生活方式供孩子们效仿。
Questions 23 to 25 are based on the lecture you have just heard.
问题23至25基于你刚刚听到的讲座。
Question 23. What is the aim of Michelle Obama's campaign?
问题23。米歇尔·奥巴马的活动的目的是什么?
Question 24. What does research find about advertisements featuring professional athletes?
