Conversation 1.
对话一。
M: Excuse me, where's your rock music section?
打扰一下,你们的摇滚乐专区在哪儿?
F: Rock music? I'm sorry, we're a jazz store. We don't have any rock and roll.
摇滚乐?抱歉,我们是一家爵士乐唱片店,不卖摇滚乐。
M: Oh, you only have jazz music? Nothing else?
哦,你们只有爵士乐吗?别的都没有?
F: That's right. We're the only record store in London dedicated exclusively to jazz.
是的。我们是伦敦唯一一家专营爵士乐的唱片店。
F: Actually, we're more than just a record store. We have a cafe and library upstairs,
其实我们不只是唱片店。楼上有咖啡馆和图书室,
F: and a ticket office down the hall where you can buy tickets to all the major jazz concerts in the city.
走廊尽头还有售票处,在那儿可以买到全城所有大型爵士音乐会的门票。

我们致力于培养新的音乐人才。
M: Wow, that's so cool. I guess there's not much of a jazz scene anymore, not like there used to be.
哇,太棒了。我想如今爵士乐的圈子已经不像从前那样热闹了。
M: But here you're trying to promote this great music genre.
而你们在这里努力推广这一伟大的音乐流派。

确实如此。如今大多数人喜欢听流行乐和摇滚乐。
F: Hip-hop music from America is also getting more and more popular.
来自美国的嘻哈音乐也越来越受欢迎。
F: So as a result, there are fewer listeners of jazz, which is a great shame, because it's an incredibly rich genre.
结果爵士乐的听众越来越少,这很可惜,因为它是一个极其丰富的流派。
F: But that's not to say there isn't any good new jazz music being made out there anymore. Far from it.
但这并不是说如今就没有出色的新爵士乐了,远非如此。
F: It's just a much smaller market today.
只是今天的市场小得多了。
M: So how would you define jazz?
那你会怎样定义爵士乐呢?
F: Well, interestingly enough, there's no agreed-upon definition of jazz.

F: Indeed, there are many different styles of jazz. Some have singing, but most don't.
爵士乐确实有很多不同的风格。有些有演唱,但大多数没有。
F: Some are electric and some aren't. Some contain live experimentation, but not always.
有些是电声的,有些不是。有些包含现场即兴试验,但并非总是如此。
F: While there's no simple definition for it, and while there are many different styles of jazz, you simply know it when you hear it.
虽然它没有简单的定义,风格也多种多样,但你一听就知道那是爵士乐。
F: Honestly, the only way to know what jazz is, is listen to it yourself.
老实说,要知道什么是爵士乐,唯一的办法就是自己去听。

M: Did they say how you could improve that?
他们有没有说你该怎么改善?
F: Yes. They said that after five more years of paying my mortgage,
说了。他们说等我再还五年房贷,
F: then I would become a more viable candidate for a business loan.
我才会成为更合适的商业贷款申请人。
F: But right now, it's too risky for them to lend me money.
但眼下把钱借给我风险太大。

他们担心我会拖欠他们发放的任何商业贷款。
M: Well, that doesn't sound fair. Your business idea is amazing.
这听起来不太公平。你的创业想法很棒。
M: Did you show them your business plan? What did they say?

向更多贷款方申请小额贷款?
F: You don't get it. It doesn't matter the size of the loan I ask for
你没明白。我申请的贷款金额大小
F: or the type of business I propose. That's all inconsequential.
或者我提出的是哪类生意,都无关紧要。这些都不重要。
F: The first thing every bank will do is study how much money I have and how much debt I have
每家银行首先要做的,都是研究我有多少钱、有多少负债,

然后才决定是否再借钱给我。
F: If I want to continue ahead with this dream of owning my own business,
如果我想继续追求拥有自己企业的梦想,

F: I need around 20% more in personal savings and 50% less debt. That's all there is to it.
我大概需要个人存款再多两成、负债再少一半。就是这么回事。
M: I see now. Well, it's a huge pity that they rejected your request, but don't lose hope.
我明白了。他们拒绝你的申请实在可惜,但别灰心。

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 1.
短文一。
There's a lot about Leo Sanchez and his farm in Salinas, California that seems unusual.
利奥·桑切斯和他在加利福尼亚州萨利纳斯的农场有许多地方显得与众不同。
The national average farm size is around 440 acres, but his is only one acre.
全国农场的平均规模约为440英亩,而他的农场只有1英亩。
The average age of farmers hovers around 58 years old, but he is just 26.
农场主的平均年龄在58岁左右,而他只有26岁。
And Sanchez constantly attempts to improve everything from seeding techniques out in the field to the promotion and sale of his produce online.
桑切斯还不断改进各个环节,从田间的播种技术到农产品的网上推广和销售。
This is evidence of an experimental approach.
这体现出一种勇于试验的做法。
It's an approach not dictated by the confines of conventional, large-scale agriculture led by international corporations.
这种做法不受由跨国公司主导的传统大规模农业的条条框框所限制。
While farming is often difficult for both the body and mind, Sanchez says he and many of his fellow young farmers are motivated by a desire to set a new standard for agriculture.
尽管务农往往对身心都是挑战,桑切斯说,他和许多年轻同行的动力来自为农业树立新标准的愿望。
Many of them are employing a multitude of technologies, some new and some not so new.
他们中的许多人都在使用多种技术,有些是新技术,有些则不那么新。
Recently, Sanchez bought a hand-operated tool which pulls out weeds and loosens soil.
最近,桑切斯买了一件手动工具,既能拔草又能松土。
It actually dates back to at least 1701.
这种工具的历史其实至少可以追溯到1701年。
It stands in sharp contrast to Sanchez's other gadget, a gas-powered flame weed killer invented in 1997.
它与桑切斯的另一件装备形成鲜明对比——那是一台1997年发明的燃气火焰除草机。
He simply doesn't discriminate when it comes to the newness of tools. If it works, it works.
在工具的新旧上他并不挑剔。管用就行。
Farmers have a long history of invention and it's no different today.
农场主历来善于发明创造,今天依然如此。
Young farmers are guided by their love for agriculture and aided by their knowledge of technology.
年轻的农场主们凭着对农业的热爱,借助自己的技术知识。
To find inexpensive and appropriately sized tools, they collaborate and innovate.
为了找到价格低廉、大小合适的工具,他们相互协作、不断创新。
Sometimes the old stuff just works better or more efficiently.
有时候,老东西反而更好用、更高效。
Questions 9 to 11 are based on the passage you have just heard.
问题9至11基于你刚刚听到的短文。
Question 9. What do we learn about Leo Sanchez's farm?
问题9。关于利奥·桑切斯的农场,我们了解到什么?
Question 10. What has motivated Leo Sanchez and his fellow young farmers to engage in farming?
问题10。是什么促使利奥·桑切斯和他的年轻同行们从事农业?
Question 11. Why did Leo Sanchez buy a hand-operated weeding tool?
问题11。利奥·桑切斯为什么买了一件手动除草工具?
Passage 2.
短文二。
Eat Grub is Britain's first new food company that breaks Western food boundaries by introducing edible insects as a new source of food.
Eat Grub 是英国第一家打破西方饮食界限、把可食用昆虫引入作为新食物来源的新型食品公司。
And Sainsbury's is the first UK supermarket to stock the company's crunchy roasted crickets.
而 Sainsbury's 是英国第一家上架该公司香脆烤蟋蟀的超市。
Sainsbury's insists that such food is no joke and could be a new sustainable source of protein.
Sainsbury's 坚称这类食品并非玩笑,可能成为一种新的可持续蛋白质来源。
Out of curiosity, I paid a visit to Sainsbury's.
出于好奇,我去了一趟 Sainsbury's。
As I put my hand into a packet of crickets with their tiny eyes and legs, the idea of one going in my mouth made me feel a little sick.
当我把手伸进一包长着细小眼睛和腿的蟋蟀里时,想到要把其中一只放进嘴里,就有点反胃。
But the first bite was a pleasant surprise.
但第一口却是个惊喜。
A little dry and lacking in taste, but at least a wing didn't get stuck in my throat.
有点干,也没什么味道,但至少没有翅膀卡在喉咙里。
The roasted seasoning largely overpowered any other flavour, although there was a slightly bitter aftertaste.
烘烤的调味料几乎盖过了其他味道,不过留下一点苦涩的回味。
The texture was crunchy, but smelt a little of cat food.
口感是脆的,但闻起来有点像猫粮。
Eat Grub also recommends the crickets as a topping for noodles, soups and salads.
Eat Grub 还建议把蟋蟀撒在面条、汤和沙拉上做配料。
The company boasts that its dried crickets contain more protein than beef, chicken and pork, as well as minerals like iron and calcium.
该公司宣称,其干蟋蟀所含的蛋白质高于牛肉、鸡肉和猪肉,还富含铁、钙等矿物质。
Unlike the production of meat, bugs do not use up large amounts of land, water or feed, and insect farming also produces far fewer greenhouse gases.
与肉类生产不同,昆虫不会消耗大量土地、水或饲料,昆虫养殖产生的温室气体也少得多。
However, despite 2 billion people worldwide already supplementing their diet with insects, consumer disgust remains a large barrier in many western countries.
然而,尽管全球已有20亿人把昆虫作为膳食补充,消费者的厌恶感在许多西方国家仍是一大障碍。
I'm not sure bugs will become a popular snack any time soon, but they're definitely food for thought.
我不确定虫子短期内会成为流行零食,但它们确实值得深思。
Questions 12 to 15 are based on the passage you have just heard.
问题12至15基于你刚刚听到的短文。
Question 12. What do we learn from the passage about the food company Eat Grub?
问题12。关于食品公司 Eat Grub,我们从短文中了解到什么?
Question 13. What does the speaker say about his first bite of roasted crickets?

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.
录音一。
Have you ever had someone try to explain something to you a dozen times with no luck?
你是否有过这样的经历:别人给你讲了十几遍某件事,你还是没听懂?
But then when you see a picture, the idea finally clicks.
可当你看到一张图,那个概念一下子就明白了。
If that sounds familiar, maybe you might consider yourself a visual learner.
如果这听起来很耳熟,也许你会认为自己是视觉型学习者。
Or if reading or listening does the trick, maybe you feel like you're a verbal learner.
或者,如果阅读或聆听对你更管用,你可能觉得自己是言语型学习者。
We call these labels learning styles.
我们把这些标签称作学习风格。
But is there really a way to categorize different types of students?
但真的存在一种给不同类型的学生分类的方法吗?
Well, it actually seems that multiple presentation formats, especially if one of them is visual, help most people learn.
实际上,多种呈现方式——尤其是其中一种为视觉形式——似乎对大多数人的学习都有帮助。
When psychologists and educators test for learning styles,
心理学家和教育工作者测试学习风格时,
they're trying to figure out whether these are inherent traits that affect how well students learn, instead of just a preference.
他们想弄清楚的是:这些究竟是影响学生学习效果的固有特质,还是仅仅是一种偏好。
Usually, they start by giving a survey to figure out what style a student favours, like visual or verbal learning.
通常,他们先做一份问卷,找出学生偏爱哪种风格,比如视觉型还是言语型。
Then, they try to teach the students something with a specific presentation style, like using visual aids,
然后,他们用某种特定的呈现方式给学生讲授内容,比如使用视觉辅助材料,
and do a follow-up test to see how much they learned.
再做一次后续测试,看学生掌握了多少。
That way, the researchers can see if the self-identified verbal learners really learned better when the information was just spoken aloud, for example.
这样一来,研究者就能看出,比如自认的言语型学习者,是否在信息只以口头方式传达时学得更好。
But, according to a 2008 review, only one study that followed this design found that students actually learned best with their preferred style.
但根据2008年的一篇综述,采用这种设计的研究中,只有一项发现学生用自己偏好的方式确实学得最好。
But the study had some big flaws.
然而这项研究存在一些重大缺陷。
The researchers excluded two-thirds of the original participants because they didn't seem to have any clear learning style from the survey at the beginning.
研究者剔除了最初三分之二的受试者,因为他们在开始的问卷中没有表现出明确的学习风格。
And they didn't even report the actual test scores in the final paper.
而且他们在最终的论文里甚至没有报告实际的测试分数。
So, it doesn't really seem like learning styles are an inherent trait that we all have.
所以,学习风格似乎并不是我们人人都有的固有特质。
But that doesn't mean that all students will do amazingly if they just spend all their time reading from a textbook.
但这并不意味着,学生只要把全部时间用来读课本就能学得很好。
Instead, most people seem to learn better if they're taught in several ways, especially if one is visual.
相反,多数人在以多种方式受教时似乎学得更好,尤其是其中一种为视觉形式时。
In one study, researchers tested whether students remembered lists of words better if they heard them, saw them, or both.
在一项研究中,研究者测试了学生记忆单词表的效果:听、看,还是二者兼有。
And everyone seemed to do better if they got to see the words in print.
结果所有人在能看到印刷出来的单词时表现都更好。
Even the self-identified auditory learners. Their preference didn't seem to matter.
连自认的听觉型学习者也是如此。他们的偏好似乎并不重要。
Similar studies tested whether students learned basic physics and chemistry concepts better by reading plain text or viewing pictures, too.
类似的研究还测试了学生学习基础物理和化学概念时,读纯文本和看图哪种效果更好。
And everyone did better with the help of pictures.
结果所有人在有图片帮助时都表现更好。
Questions 16 to 18 are based on the recording you have just heard.
问题16至18基于你刚刚听到的录音。
Question 16. Why do psychologists and educators study learning styles?
问题16。心理学家和教育工作者为什么要研究学习风格?
Question 17. What does the speaker say about one study mentioned in the 2008 review?
问题17。关于2008年综述中提到的一项研究,说话人说了什么?
Question 18. What message does the speaker want to convey about learning at the end of the talk?
问题18。在讲话结尾,说话人想传达关于学习的什么信息?
Recording 2.
录音二。
Free market capitalism hasn't freed us. It has trapped us.
自由市场资本主义并没有让我们获得自由,反而把我们困住了。
It's imperative for us to embrace a workplace revolution.
我们必须迎来一场职场变革。
We are unlikely to spend our last moments regretting that we didn't spend enough of our lives slaving away at work.
在生命的最后时刻,我们不太可能后悔没有把更多的人生耗在没日没夜的工作上。
We may instead find ourselves feeling guilty about the time we didn't spend watching our children grow, or with our loved ones, or traveling, or on the cultural or leisure pursuits that bring us happiness.
相反,我们可能会因为没有时间陪伴孩子成长、没有时间和亲人相处、没有时间旅行、没有时间从事那些带来快乐的文化娱乐活动而感到内疚。
Unfortunately, the average full-time employee in the world works 42 hours a week, well over a third of the time we're awake.
遗憾的是,全球全职员工平均每周工作42小时,远超我们清醒时间的三分之一。
Some of our all-too-precious time is being stolen.
我们无比宝贵的时间正在被偷走。
Office workers do around 2 billion hours of unpaid overtime each year.
上班族每年无偿加班约20亿小时。
So it's extremely welcome that some government coalitions have started looking into potentially cutting the working week to four days.
因此,一些政府联盟已开始研究把每周工作日缩短至四天的可能性,这非常值得欢迎。
The champions of free market capitalism promised their way of life would bring us freedom, but it wasn't freedom at all.
自由市场资本主义的拥护者曾承诺,他们的生活方式会带来自由,但那根本不是自由。
From the lack of secure affordable housing to growing job insecurity and rising personal debt, the individual is trapped.
从缺乏稳定且负担得起的住房,到日益加剧的就业不稳定和不断上升的个人债务,个体被困住了。
Nine decades ago, leading economists predicted that technological advances and rising productivity would mean that we'd be working a 15-hour week by now.
九十年前,顶尖经济学家曾预言,技术进步和生产率提高意味着我们如今每周只需工作15小时。
That target has been somewhat missed.
这个目标显然落空了。
Here is the most malignant threat to our personal freedom, particularly as the balance of power in the workplace has been shifted so dramatically from worker to boss.
这正是对我们个人自由最恶劣的威胁,尤其是职场权力格局已如此剧烈地从劳动者一方转向老板一方。
A huge portion of our lives involves the surrender of our freedom and personal autonomy.
我们生命中很大一部分都意味着交出自由和个人自主权。
It's time in which we are directed by the needs and desires of others and denied the right to make our own choices.
在这段时间里,我们被他人的需求和愿望所支配,被剥夺了自己作选择的权利。
That's bad for us.
这对我们有害。
It's hardly surprising that over half a million workers suffer from work-related mental health conditions each year.
因此毫不奇怪,每年有五十多万劳动者患上与工作相关的心理健康疾病。
All told, 15.4 million working days were lost to work-related stress last year, a jump of nearly a quarter.
总计有1540万个工作日因与工作相关的压力而损失,比前一年增加了近四分之一。
Yes, there are those who, far from being overworked, actually seek more hours.
确实,也有一些人远谈不上工作过度,反而想要更多工时。
But a shorter working week would enable us to redistribute hours from the overworked to the underworked.
但缩短每周工时能让我们把工时从工作过度者那里重新分配给工作不足者。
We need to look at ways of cutting the working week without slashing living standards.
我们需要研究在不压低生活水平的前提下缩短工时的办法。
After all, the world's workers have already suffered the worst deduction in wages since the early 1800s.
毕竟,全球劳动者已经经历了自19世纪初以来最严重的工资缩水。
And cutting the working week would be conducive to the individual, giving millions of workers more time to spend as they see fit.
而缩短每周工时对个人有益,能让数百万劳动者有更多可以自行支配的时间。
Questions 19 to 21 are based on the recording you have just heard.
问题19至21基于你刚刚听到的录音。
Question 19. What do people often feel guilty about according to the speaker?
问题19。说话人认为人们常常为什么感到内疚?
Question 20. What did leading economists predict 90 years ago?
问题20。九十年前顶尖经济学家作出了什么预言?
Question 21. What is the result of denying workers' right to make their own choices?
问题21。剥夺劳动者自主选择的权利会带来什么后果?
Recording 3.
录音三。
Today I'm going to talk about Germany's dream airport in Berlin.
今天我要讲的是德国柏林的那座梦想机场。
The airport looks exactly like every other major modern airport in Europe, except for one big problem.
这座机场看上去和欧洲其他任何一座现代化大型机场别无二致,只有一个大问题。
More than seven years after it was originally supposed to open, it still stands empty.
在原定开放日期过去七年多之后,它依然空无一人。
Germany is known for its efficiency and refined engineering, but when it comes to its new ghost airport, this reputation could not be further from the truth.
德国以效率和精湛的工程技术闻名,但说到这座新的“幽灵机场”,这一声誉与事实相去甚远。
Plagued by long delays, perpetual mismanagement, and ever-soaring costs, the airport has become something of a joke among Germans, and a source of frustration for local politicians, business leaders, and residents alike.
长期延误、管理持续混乱、成本不断飙升,使这座机场成了德国人眼中的笑柄,也让当地政界人士、企业领袖和居民倍感沮丧。
Planning for the new airport began in 1989.
新机场的规划始于1989年。
At the time, it became clear that the newly reunified Berlin would need a modern airport with far greater capacity than its existing airports.
当时人们清楚地意识到,刚刚重新统一的柏林需要一座容量远超现有机场的现代化机场。
The city broke ground on the new airport in 2006.
该市于2006年为新机场破土动工。
The first major sign of problems came in summer 2010, when the Construction Corporation pushed the opening from October 2011 to June 2012.
问题的第一个重大信号出现在2010年夏天,当时施工公司把开放时间从2011年10月推迟到2012年6月。
In 2012, the city planned an opening ceremony, but less than a month beforehand, inspectors found significant problems with the fire safety system and pushed the opening back again to 2013.
2012年,该市原本安排了开放典礼,但不到一个月前,检查人员发现消防系统存在严重问题,开放时间又被推迟到2013年。
It wasn't just the smoke system. Many other major problems subsequently emerged.
问题不只出在排烟系统上。随后又冒出许多其他重大问题。
More than 90 kilometres of cable were incorrectly installed.
有90多公里的电缆铺设有误。
Four thousand doors were wrongly numbered. Escalators were too short, and there was a shortage of check-in desks.
四千扇门编号错误,自动扶梯太短,值机柜台也不够。
So why, with so many problems discovered, didn't the Airport Corporation decide to give up on the project and start over?
那么,既然发现了这么多问题,机场公司为什么不干脆放弃项目、重新来过呢?
The reason is simple. People are often hesitant to terminate a project when they've already invested time or resources into it, even if it might make logical sense to do so.
原因很简单。人们在已经投入时间或资源之后,往往不愿终止一个项目,哪怕从逻辑上看终止才是合理的。
The longer the delays continued, the more problems inspectors found.
延期拖得越久,检查人员发现的问题就越多。
Leadership of the Planning Corporation has changed hands nearly as many times as the opening date has been pushed back.
规划公司的管理层更换的次数,几乎和开放日期推迟的次数一样多。
Initially, rather than appointing a general contractor to run the project, the Corporation decided to manage it themselves, despite lack of experience with an undertaking of that scale.
起初,公司没有聘请总承包商来管理项目,而是决定自己管理,尽管缺乏操作这种规模工程的经验。
To compound the delays, the unused airport is resulting in massive costs.
更糟的是,这座闲置的机场还带来了巨额开支。
Every month it remains unopened costs between 9 and 10 million euros.
机场每空置一个月,就要花费900万至1000万欧元。
Assuming all goes well, the airport should open in October 2020.
如果一切顺利,机场应在2020年10月开放。
But the still empty airport stands as the biggest embarrassment to Germany's reputation for efficiency and a continuing drain on city and state resources.
但这座仍然空荡荡的机场,成了德国效率声誉最大的难堪,也在持续消耗着市和州的财政资源。
Questions 22 to 25 are based on the recording you have just heard.
问题22至25基于你刚刚听到的录音。
Question 22. What does the speaker say about the dream airport in Berlin?
问题22。关于柏林的这座梦想机场,说话人说了什么?
Question 23. Why was there a need for a new airport in Berlin?
问题23。柏林为什么需要一座新机场?
Question 24. Why did Berlin postpone the opening of its dream airport again and again?
问题24。柏林为什么一再推迟这座梦想机场的开放?
Question 25. What happens while the airport remains unused?
问题25。机场持续闲置期间发生了什么?
