on

of

the

passages

the

conversation

will

read

【答案】

11. B 12. D 13. A

【解析】

Hello! Today I am going to talk about poverty, a critical issue in today’s

world.

One

useful

way

to

understand

poverty

is

to

distinguish

between

three

degrees of poverty.

The

first

type

of

poverty

is

extreme

poverty.

In

extreme

poverty,

households

cannot meet basic needs for survival. People suffer from long-term hunger.

They

have

no

access

to

safe

drinking

water,

let

alone

health

care.

They

cannot

B.

Approaches

to

poverty

B. Temporary shelter.

D. No access to recreation.

B. In developing countries.

D.

In

densely- populated

afford education for their children. In short, people who live in extreme

poverty

do

not

have

even

the

minimum

resources

to

support

themselves

and

their

families.

Then,

where

does

extreme

poverty

occur?

Well,

you

can

find

it

only

in developing countries.

Well,

what

about

moderate

poverty?

Unlike

extreme

poverty,

moderate

poverty

generally

refers

to

rarely

meeting

the

basic

needs

of

life

condition.

People

living

in

moderate

poverty

have

the

resources

to

keep

themselves

alive,

but

only at a very basic level. For example, they may have access to drinking

water but not clean, safe drinking water. They may have a home to shelter

themselves but it does not have power supply, or a telephone.

The

third

kind

of

poverty

is

relative

poverty.

Relative

poverty

is

generally

considered to be a household income level

which is below a given proportion

of

average

family

income.

The

relatively

poor

live

in

high

income

countries

but they do not have a high income themselves. The methods of calculating

the

poverty

line

vary

from

country

to

country,

but

we

can

say

that

basically

the income of a family living in relative poverty is less than that of the

average family. They can meet their basic needs but they lack access to

cultural goods, and entertainment. They also do not have access to quality

health care.

We

should

keep

these

distinctions

in

mind when

w

e

research

people’s

living

conditions either in the developing or the developed world.

Questions:

Where does the speaker say we can find extreme poverty?

Which of the following features can be seen in relative poverty?

What does the speaker mainly talk about?

Questions are based on the following passage.

14.

A. Because of the course materials.

B. Because of the discussion topics.

C. Because of others’ misuse of technology.

D. Because of a rule the speaker made for his class.

15.

A. The speaker’s history class received low assessment.

B. The students think highly of the speaker’s history class.

C. The speaker made the rule because he was against technology.

D. The speaker made the rule just because of his unpleasant experiences.

16.

A. It may improve teaching and offer more help.

B. It may allow students to get on well with each other.

C. It may distract students from being involved in class.

D. It may help students to better understand complex themes.

【答案】

14. D 15. B 16. C

【解析】

Like many other people, I love my smartphone, which keeps me connected with

the larger world. I also love my laptop, because it holds all of my writing

and thoughts. However, I know there are times when I need to move away from

these devices and truly communicate with others.

On occasion, I teach a course called History Matters to a group of higher

education managers. My goals for the class include a full discussion of

historical

themes

and

ideas.

Because

I

want

students

to

thoroughly

study

the

materials and exchange their ideas with each other in the classroom, I have

a rule

—

no laptop, iPads, phones, etc. When students were told my rule in

advance of the class, some of them were not happy.

Most

students

assume

that

my

reasons

for

this

rule

include

unpleasant

experiences in the past with students misusing technology. There’s a bit

of truth to that. Some students assume that I am anti-

technology. There’s

no

truth

in

that

at

all.

The

real

reason

why

I

ask

students

to

leave

technology

at the door is that I think there are very few places in which we can have

deep

conversations

and

truly

engage

complex

ideas.

Interruptions

by

technology often break concentration and allow for too much dependence on

outside

information

for

ideas.

I

want

students

to

dig

deep

within

themselves

for inspiration and ideas.

I’ve been teaching my history class in this way for many years and the

evaluations

reflect

student

satisfaction

with

the

environment

that

I

create.

Students realize that with deep conversation and challenge, they learn at

a level that helps them keep the course materials beyond the classroom.

Questions:

Why were some of the students in the history class unhappy?

What can be learned from this passage?

What

can

be

inferred

from

the

passage

about

the

use

of

technology

in

classrooms?

Questions are based on the following passage.

17.

A. She bumped into a coffee table.

B. She chatted with the cafe owner.

C. She talked with someone she knew.

D. She was listening to a lively debate.

18.

A. Newspapers were given out to customers.

B. An entrance fee was charged for getting in.

C. It was the meeting place for debating clubs.

D. It was first started in Oxford in the 16th century.

19.

A. Partly right.

C. Very unfair.

20.

A. By providing free laptops for use.

B. By making sofas comfortable to sit on.

C. By engaging them in stimulating conversation.

D. By transporting customers to various destinations.

【答案】

17. C 18. B 19. D 20. B

【解析】

B. Extremely interesting.

D. A bit unreasonable.

W: Here’s your cup of coffee, Bob.

M: Thanks! But what took you so long, Catherine?

W: Sorry, Bob. I bumped into somebody I knew in the cafe and stopped for a

chat.

M: OK, well. Catherine, did you know that coffee houses were originally a

meeting place for lively debates and intellectual discussions?

W:

Really?

I

didn’t

know

that,

Bob.

So

how

long

ago

was

this

debating

society

formed?

M:

The

first

coffee

house

was

set

up

in

Oxford

in

1650.

But

they

quickly

became

popular and soon they were all over London too. You paid a penny to get in,

and this included access to newspapers

—

and stimulating conversation!

W:

But

I

have

to

say,

while

I

was

getting

our

coffees

earlier,

there

was

nobody

else in the cafe talking except me and my friend. Everybody was sitting on

their

own,

tapping

away

on

their

laptops.

So

the

spirit

of

those

17

th

century

coffee

houses

has

disappeared

then?

No

more

lively

debates

and

intellectual

discussions?

M:

It

seems

so.

As

Douglas

Fraser,

BBC

Business

and

Economy

Editor

says,

the

coffee

shop’s

free

Wi

-Fi

is

transporting

its

customers

to

different

destinations

far

from

the

person

beside

them.

As

you

can

see,

so

many

people

sit along plugged into their laptops

—and they’re all doing different

things

—

working, writing, messing about on social media.

W: I think the cafe owners should turn off the free Wi-

Fi. I don’t think

people

should

be

allowed

to

sit

all

day

using

the

Internet

—

occupying

tables

—

and

not

talking

to

anybody!

Especially

when

some

of

th

em

don’t

even

buy a coffee!

M: That’s a bit extreme, Catherine. Cafe owners need customers—

and they

encourage

people

to

stay

by

having

comfortable

sofas

and

newspapers

to

read

and the free Wi-Fi!

W: I suppose you’re right.

Questions:

Why did it take Catherine a long time to bring back the coffee?

What can be learned about the earlier coffee house from this conversation?

What does Bob think of the idea of turning off the Wi-Fi?

How do the cafe owners attract customers?
