Every year experts in science and medicine are proven wrong in one theory or another. (16)Until recently, most medical experts believed that stomach ulcers were caused by an excess of stomach acid that was induced by stress. We now know the ulcers are caused by a bacterium, and that 90 percent of ulcers can be cured within a few weeks. The medical experts were not only wrong they were persistently wrong. (17)When an unknown Australian physician, Barry Marshall, introduced the bacterium theory in 1983, he was laughed at. Doesnt everyone know that bacteria cannot survive in the acids of the human stomach? Because his theory was brushed aside, (18) Marshall took the unusual step of dramatically infecting himself by drinking a cocktail with bacteria. His experiment worked: he demonstrated that bacteria can indeed live in the stomach. Nevertheless, for the next dozen or so years, most experts resisted the bacterium theory until slowly accumulating research created a mountain of convincing evidence. Finally, the experts had to compromise and admit that Marshall was right. Some students think that if sources have a Ph. D. or an M. D. and are working with a university or medical facility, they must be trustworthy. Unfortunately, there are fakes in every field. What should be your attitude toward experts? (19) Examine what they say because they often have valuable insights, but dont suspend your skepticism. Evaluate the comments of both their defenders and their critics.Questions 16 to 19 are based on the passage you have just heard.16.

Q: What did Barry Marshalls drinking a cocktail with bacteria prove?A) Life stress induced excess of stomach acid. B) Human could live with too much stomach acid. C) Stomach aches were caused by stomach acid. D) Bacteria could survive in stomach acid.答案 D). 详解 因为自己的观点遭到漠视，Barry Marshall喝了含有细菌的鸡尾酒，该实验证实细菌可以在胃酸中存活，故选D)项。19. Q: What attitude should people take toward experts?A) Treat their ideas as trustworthy sources. B) Treat what they say as fakes. C) Evaluate what they say with skepticism. D) Check their certificate degree.答案C). 详解 文章最后提到我们应该检验专家的意见，因为他们有着深刻的理解，但也不要放弃怀疑，需要综合评估拥护者和反对者的评论，故选C)项。Passage Two听前预测 根据选项关键词students, living, campus推测短文与学生生活和住宿有关。20题考查it的特征或作用；21题考查they应该做的事情；22题考查某种条件。 For many international students, coming to the United States and living here and studying can be quite a daunting experience, especially when finding housing on campus or off campus. And fortunately, there are a variety of options that students can look to. (20)First of all for first-time students, coming and living on campus in dormitories can provide a certain level of security because of its proximity to campus facilities since commuting without a car can be quite an experience, especially when you have to commute long distances. Often in dormitories, meals might be provided, and this can allow students to devote time to their academics, rather than housekeeping. (21) But students should also be aware that theyll be required to abide by certain regulations dealing with student conduct as part of the contract and living on campus. Another option is off-campus living in apartments. And like living in dormitories, living in an apartment requires little or no maintenance specifically because usually it is handled by someone else. Also, when you might live off campus, there might be a certain amount of flexibility in choosing roommates that you might not have when living on campus. (22)But you should be aware that tenants may be responsible for furnishing their own apartments. Of course, the choice is up to you, but be careful to review both the advantages and disadvantages of living on campus and off campus.Questions 20 to 22 are based on the passage you have just heard.20. Q: Why are first-time students advised to live on campus in dormitories?A) Its economical. B) It helps build relations with others.C) Its safe and convenient. D) Its quite an experience.答案 C). 详解 文中提到第一次来美国的学生住在学校宿舍会有一定的安全性，因为能最大化地利用校园设施，且饭菜也提供，故也有便利性，所以选C)项。21. Q: What should students living on campus be aware of?A) They should devote time to their housekeeping. B) They should behave themselves in study. C) They should deal with the sanitary work.D) They should obey relevant regulations.答案 D). 详解 文中提到住在宿舍里的学生必须意识到，他们要遵守有关学生行为的规定。故选D)项。22. Q: What should the students be aware of when living off campus?A) Students are not free to choose roommates.B) Students may have to furnish their own apartments. C) Living off campus is not as good as living on campus.D) Living off campus may be a bit expensive.答案 B). 详解 住在校外的学生必须知道,他们可能要为公寓准备家具。故选B)项。Passage Three听前预测 根据选项关键词public, speaker, speaking等推测短文与公开演讲有关。23题考查某种行为；24题考查事物内容；25题考查he的某方面才能。 Growing up in rural Tennessee, Van Jones had no intention of becoming a public speaker. Studying journalism at the University of Tennessee at Martin, he hoped one day to report the news, not to make it. (23) Nevertheless, he soon found himself drawn to campus politics, and he became a vocal member of the student body. After attending law school, Jones joined the San Francisco-based Lawyers Committee for Human Rights to work on problems confronting inner-city communities. A few years later he established the Ella Baker Center for Human Rights, a nonprofit organization dedicated to promoting opportunity in urban America. But Jones didnt stop there. Over the years, he combined human rights initiatives with his interest in environmental justice. Today, he is president of Green for All, which focuses on creating green-collar jobs throughout America. In 2007 he worked with members of the U. S. House of Representatives to pass (24) the Green Jobs Act, which approved $125 million to train environmentally conscious workers. How has Jones achieved all this? Partly through his legal training and fearless spirit. (25)But whats more important is his ability to communicate with people through public speaking, which has been the primary vehicle for spreading his message. He has been described as “one of the most powerful and inspiring voices of our time”. Audiences are moved “by his heart, inspired by his commitment, and rocked by his eloquence”.Questions 23 to 25 are based on the passage you have just heard.23. Q: What did Jones find himself
