D【解析】It is evening rush hour in the Times Square subway stationperhaps the busiest time of the day at the busiest place in the busiest city of the country. Liz Barry and Bill Wetzel have just settled into two chairs against a wall. Before them is a sign that reads, in large white letters, “TALK TO ME.”Amazingly, for the next two hours, people do. Dozens of them. Two 17-year-old girls talk about their science class. A middle-aged man gives his views on politics. A young woman with purple hair, near tears, has recently broken with her boyfriend. She hasnt gotten over it yet and she wants to talk.Barry and Wetzel came to New York only a year ago, but they have already heard thousands of stories like these. They have walked the streets and avenues, set up their sign and listened.Barry and Wetzel, in their 20s, have discovered that talking is highly healing for New Yorkers. “Taking a little time out from a busy schedule to talk to someone youve never met can change your whole outlook forever,” Liz Barry says.Barry and Wetzel figure that now, after a year, is a good time to stop. They still havent decided what to do next, but its unlikely to be something as original as their “Talk to me” project.Which of the following statements is true about Barry and Wetzel?What does the speaker think of Barry and Wetzels project?What is the passage mainly about?【11题详解】此题为听力题，解析略。【12题详解】此题为听力题，解析略。【13题详解】此题为听力题，解析略。Questions are based on the following passage.14.

Birth order affects personality.C. Birth order influences career paths.D. How people achieve their success.【答案】14. B 15. C 16. C【解析】For many years, studies have shown that birth order affects personality, but new researchconfirms that whether youre an older, middle or youngerchild in the family bears an impact oncareer paths too.The researchers found significant evidence to support the theory that birth order has a markedeffect on career paths. They analyzed a random sample of over 500 of the most successfulindividuals from 11 different career groups.One of the most clear findings was that middle children are 30 percent more likely to becomecompany CEOS than their sisters and brothers.The researchers suggested that this could be because having to fight for attention results inmiddle children developing personality traits such as competitiveness and flexibility, which thenmakes them suited to high-flying roles which require strategic thinking and high levels ofmanagement. Mark Zuckerberg, Bill Gates are both middle children.In encouraging news for middle children across the world, the study also found that theyre 41percent more likely to be Olympic athletes. Overall, there are far more typical cases than exceptions.Interestingly, a majority of astronauts are first-born children-Buzz Aldrin and NeilArmstrong are examples. Eldest children are also most likely to become scientists or engineers likeStephen Hawking.Youngest children like Johann Sebastian Bach and Mozart were found to be 50 percent morelikely to have careers in classical music, possibly for their sensitive and idealistic personality.As for only children, theyre more likely to become artists due to their perfectionist andmature personalities. The average UK family has 2.44 children, but the researchers found thatfamily size does play a part. Scientists were found to come from much larger families than average.According to the passage, why are middle children more likely to be in a managementposition?What are the most potential career roles for the only children?What is the passage mainly about?【14题详解】此题为听力题，解析略。【15题详解】此题为听力题，解析略。【16题详解】此题为听力题，解析略。Questions are based on the following passage.17.

How are you going these days?M: Ive spent the whole summer vacation preparing my essay.W: What is it about？M: Jeans. The history of jeans.W: Sounds quite appealing. In my memory, jeans were only worn by poor people and laborers. They are affordable and highly valued as work wear.M: Exactly. They were rough clothing worn by working men because of its durability. They wear well and wash easily, which is superior to other materials.W: What did middle class people wear at that time?M: In contrast, middle and upper class people wore suits made of material like linen as a symbol of status.W: Then, why did jeans become trendy?M: I think there are three factors contributing to their popularity. Firstly, in 1908, the expiration of a patent “Levis” led to jeans on the market.W: You mean, the imitation jeans flooded on the market.M: Yes. Secondly, the Romanization of “cowboy lifestyle” made jeans popular.W: I agree. A large number of western films helped their popularity such as Rebel Without a Cause and The Wild One. In the film, heroes wore jeans as a way of rebelling against social expectations. What else?M: In the 1980s, interest in jeans ran high with the release of a series of sex and violence ads.W: As you mentioned, jeans were a symbol of rebellion, were they allowed in schools or other formal occasions?M: No, but as time went on, they become acceptable. People often wear them when they are not on duty to show their identity and a positive and casual lifestyle.W: Thats why they become popular after World War II.M: Thats quite reasonable. I didnt realize it.W: To women, jeans have another advantage. They dont need to be washed often and dont need to be ironed. Women can save more time on housework.Why were jeans favored by working people?Why did the man mention Levis?What was the second reason for the popularity of jeans?What were the two speakers mainly talking about?【17题详解】此题为听力题，解析略。【18题详解】此题为听力题，解析略。【19题详解】此题为听力题，解析略。【20题详解】此题为听力题，解析略。II.

Each word can only be used once. Note that there is one word more than you need.Bad News for Apple; Good News for HumanityWhen Apple cut its revenue estimate(收益预期) for the last quarter of 2018 because of unexpectedly slow sales of iPhones, markets trembled. The companys share price, which had been _31_ for months, fell by a further 10% on January 3rd, the day after the news came out.

All this is terrible news for investors who had _32_ on continued growth. But step back and look at the bigger picture. That smartphone sales have peaked, and seem to be _33_ off at around 1.4billion units a year, is good news for humanity. The slowdown is actually the result of market saturation (饱和), which hits Apple the hardest because, despite a relatively small market share (13% of smartphone users), it captures almost all of the industrys _34_. But Apples pain is humanitys gain. The fact that the benefits of these magical devices are now so widely _35_ is something to be celebrated.Now many phones are used for longer than three years, often as hand-me-downs. Replacement cycles are lengthening as new models offer only _36_ improvements. So even with flat sales, the longer _37_ between upgrades mean people who already have phones benefit.
