M: That's certainly how I felt last night--like my brain wasn't very active. W: That's not the worst of it. If you watch TV a lot, or for a long time, that part of the brain--the part that processes complex information, shows lowered activity and you become more and more passive. M: That's incredible.

W: Thank you. Um, what about the new parking facilities? M: In my opinion the parking lot is too far from the terminals. I know there's a courtesy bus but it isn't frequent enough. W: Well, er, and what about the transport links to the airport? M: [10] Transport facilities? Public transport is pretty good. I think there are frequent rail services and buses. Yes, I think it's pretty good. [考点] 本题出题点在对话开头。 [精析] 对话中女士说正在对这个机场的现代化程度做调查，询问男士是否可以回答几个问题，男士说时间不长的话可以，接着女士问了一些关于这个机场的设施和服务的问题，由此可以推断本对话发生在机场，故选C。 第16题 How often does the man use the airport?

A 40 million. B About 28 million. C 12 million. D Less than 28 million. 【正确答案】：B 【本题分数】：1.0分 【答案解析】 [听力原文] W: Oh, David. I just can't believe it. There are more than forty million people who have HIV in the world, 70 percent of them in Africa, and the former Soviet Union and parts of Asia are also big risk areas. M: The UN AIDS organization last week estimated that in just over 20 years, 20 million people have died of AIDS, and this figure will be 3 times in the next 2 decades unless a major rescue effort is launched in poor countries. W: That sounds really terrible! Something must be done to it. M: Yes. The 14th International AIDS Conference was held in Barcelona. It's aiming at increased global awareness of the threat of the killing epidemic to the economic development, peace, security and mobilized resources to check the spread of HIV. I've heard there's breakthrough in technology. But the fight against AIDS will be long. W: Many people argue that AIDS victims should be separated. What de you think about it? M: Separating will help no one. Most AIDS patients are too sick to be transmitting the virus. Largely people who de not have AIDS but are infected with the HIV virus are spreading the virus, and they may or may not know it. Separation would be totally futile. W: Would mandatory testing help? M: I believe it would drive every people you want to test underground. Voluntary, confidential testing is much more appropriate. 第19题 If without major rescue, how many people would die of AIDS in the next 20 years? A 20 million. B 30 million. C 40 million.

A Eliminating the original vegetation from the building site. B Making the houses in an area similar to one another. C Deciding where a house will be built. D Surrounding a building with wildflowers and plants. 【正确答案】：A 【本题分数】：1.0分 【答案解析】 [听力原文] 14-16 I'd like to share with you today my experience with a new approach to building a house．It's called Envelop Building．Essentially，what it means is that as you are building a house，you try to leave the landscape features on the land，especially the vegetation in the original condition．[14] So what you are not doing is the usual practice of landscaping，by which I mean literally scraping or cleaning the land of any and all the original plants．Why is the approach called Envelop Building? Because instead of clearing everything away，you let your original landscape elements envelop or surround your house． [15] Let the vegetation physical features，such as hills and slopes or interesting rock formations，constitute a significant part of the character of the building sight．The design of the house should take these features of the property into account．Actually integrating your original wild landscape with a house is not that new．[16]The famous American architect Frank Loid Wright was doing it about 65 years ago．Suppose we are in good company．Envelop Building is not as easy as it sounds though．It’s not just that you build your house and leave the land alone．By building，you are already damaging the original landscape．But as architects，we should try to work with the environment，not against it．A creative architect can find ways to incorporate the natural landscape into the overall design．For example，why are the massive rocks on the side of one of the most famous houses used as part of the house foundation? [考点] 本题出题点在定语从句处。 [精析] 原文提到so what you are not doing is the usual practice of landscaping，by which I mean literally scraping or cleaning the land of any and all the original plants．根据这句话的结构可知，which引导的定语从句解释了landscaping，也就是清理原有的植被，故选A。 第5题 In Envelop Building, what is done with the landscape features of a building's sight? A They are changed to make the site more interesting. B They are expanded to limit the amount of construction. C They are integrated into the design of the building. D They are removed for construction. 【正确答案】：C 【本题分数】：1.0分 【答案解析】 [考点] 本题出题点在举例处(such as) [精析] 短文提到让原有的植被、地貌，例如小山、石头等与建筑物完美地结合是“围护建筑”的主要特点，故选C。 第6题 Why does the professor mention the architect Frank Loid Wright? A Because many architects studied with Wright. B Because Wright started the practice of "landscaping". C Because Wright used elements of Envelope Building. D Because most of the houses Wright built were made of ston 【正确答案】：C 【本题分数】：1.0分 【答案解析】 [考点] 本题出题点在专有名词处(人名)。 [精析] 短文提到著名的美国建筑设计师Frank Loid Wright早在60年前就采用了“围护建筑”这种方式，故选C。 第7题   On Level Three of the university library, you can find______.

It is important to find clean water when you are eating away from home. If there is none, make sure to bring water for preparation and cleaning. Or carry clean, wet washcloths for cleaning hand sand surfaces. Bacteria can also spread when food is transported, prepared and served. Make sure to [16] keep uncooked meal cold until it is cooked.
