答案与解析
Section A
1.【A】男士说，“I went up to the pub 4 times last week，and drank about 3 pints each evening.”简单计算后可知，男士上周总共喝了12品脱的啤酒。故答案为A。
2.【B】医生建议说“Don’t worry so much about things of work”，即建议病人少想工作。故本题答案为B。
3.【C】男士说“No complaints”，意思是情况还不错，故本题的正确答案为C。
4.【C】女士说“Absolutely！He thinks you would！”，肯定男士将涨薪水。因此本题答案为C。
5.【D】女士说“We are not always on the same wheeling.”，意思是母女俩经常无法沟通。因此本题的答案为D。
6.【B】本题考查的是ankle和uncle的发音区别。通过对话的上下文可知，女士扭伤的（twist）的是ankle（脚踝）。因此本题正确答案为B。
7.【D】男士说John在新公司十分胜任工作，老板十分器重他，并且肯定（for betting）John会在公司达成目标。因此本题答案为D（在新公司前途光明）。
8.【C】男士让女士拿着小条（slip）到前台去做检查的预约。因此本题答案为C。
9.【A】男士说“Because she doesn’t wear what everybody else wears.”，即这个女孩儿穿着从来都是与众不同。由此可推理她的个性与常人迥异。因此A选项最贴切。
10.【D】女士说“I’ve been having some pains in my joints，especially the knees.”，可知这个对话应该是就诊的场景，故本题选D（门诊）。ward为“病房，监护室”，不合适。
11.【D】男士说heavy food通常会造成这种疼痛，故本题答案为D。
12.【D】男士说“I think I need to buy a new one，but it will go with time.”，即考虑买新自行车，但需要过段时间，故本题答案为D。

17.【C】医生说“That means no soccer”，即不能踢球，但并非永远不能再踢球，而是3个星期没法踢球。导致这个结果的原因是该病人腿部需要做一个手术。因此本题正确答案为C。
18.【B】通过对话内容可知，为了排除后续的食物过敏（food allergy）的问题，还需要做化验。因此本题答案为B。
19.【D】医生告诉病人还需要做几个血液化验，来排除过敏（allergy）的问题。因此本题答案为D。
20.【A】医生说“The belt shows the tumor is benign which means it is not cancerous.We’re going to take it out anyway，just to be on a safe side.”，病人排除了恶性肿瘤等问题，应该是比较放松的。因此本题答案为A。

Passage Two
26.【B】根据录音中的“Some 100，000 stock animals succumbed and about 90，000 people were infected，hundreds fatally in five countries.”可知，本题答案为B。

28.【D】从录音中“
the Kenyan health ministry had dispatched teams to the area to distribute mosquito nets and urge village leaders and religious authorities to stop people slaughtering and eating animals.”可知，只有D选项不是制止瘟疫肆虐的举措。
29.【D】从录音中“These higher temperatures brought heavy and sustained rains，cloud cover and warmer air to much of the Horn of Africa”可知，D是正确答案，B选项应该改成long-lived mosquitoes。

Passage 1
Women may be more susceptible to the lung damaging effects of smoking than men，according to new research by Inga-Cecilie Soerheim，M.D.，and her colleagues from Channing Laboratory，Brigham and Women’s Hospital and University of Bergen，Norway.They analyzed data from a Norwegian case-control study including 954 subjects with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease（COPD）and 955 controls.All were current-or ex-smokers，and the COPD subjects had moderate or severe COPD.
“Overall our analysis indicated that women may be more vulnerable to the effects of smoking，which is something previously suspected but not proven，”said Dr.Soerheim.
The study results will be presented on May 18 at the 105th International Conference of the American Thoracic Society in San Diego.
Examining the total study sample，there were no gender differences with respect to lung function（FEV1）and COPD severity，but the women were on average younger and had smoked significantly less than men.
To explore these differences further，they also analyzed two subgroups of the study sample：COPD subjects under the age of 60（early onset group）and COPD subjects with less than 20 pack-years of smoking（low exposure group）.In both subgroups，women had more severe disease and greater impairment of lung function than men.
“This means that female smokers in our study experienced reduced lung function at a lower level of smoking exposure and at an earlier age than men，”said Dr.Soerheim.
It has long been suspected that the effect of smoking on lung function may be modified by gender.Interaction analysis confirmed that being female represents a higher risk of reduced lung function and severe COPD，but this gender effect was most pronounced when the level of smoking exposure was low.
“The gender difference in COPD susceptibility seems to be most important when smoking exposure is low.Women may tolerate small amounts of tobacco worse than men，”Dr.Soerheim explained.
According to Dr.Soerheim，the reason why women may be more susceptible to the effects of cigarette smoke is still unknown，but there are several possible explanations：“Women have smaller airways；therefore each cigarette may do more harm.Also，there are gender differences in the metabolism of cigarette smoke.Genes and hormones could also be important.”
Questions 21-25 are based on the passage you have just heard.
21.What is the most likely topic of this talk？
22.How many subjects did Dr.Soerheim recruit in his study？
23.When and where will Dr.Soerheim present their study results？
24.According to the talk，when is the gender difference most likely to be obvious in COPD susceptibility？
25.Which of the following is not an explanation for women’s great susceptibility to the effects of smoking？
Passage 2
IN DECEMBER 1997 large numbers of cattle，goats and sheep began dying in the Garissa district of north-eastern Kenya.A month later people started dying，too.It was，at the time，the biggest recorded outbreak of Rift Valley fever in east Africa.Some 100，000 stock animals succumbed and about 90，000 people were infected—hundreds fatally—in five countries.
In December 2007 the same thing happened.Or，rather，it started to happen but was stopped in its tracks.The difference was that the second time around there was warning.In September researchers at the Goddard Space Flight Centre in Greenbelt，Maryland，part of America’s space agency，NASA，told the authorities in Kenya that they had a problem.They told them again in October.And again in November.By the time the epidemic emerged，the Kenyan health ministry had dispatched teams to the area to distribute mosquito nets and urge village leaders and religious authorities to stop people slaughtering and eating animals.Though the outbreak still killed 300 people in Kenya，Somalia and Tanzania，it could have been a lot worse.According to Kenneth Linthicum of America’s Department of Agriculture，the number of deaths would probably have been more than twice as high without the warning.
The warning itself was possible because of a model of how disease spreads that Dr Linthicum helped design.And the data that were plugged into that model came from satellites.
What the researchers at Goddard had noticed at the time of the first outbreak was that in the months preceding it，surface temperatures in the equatorial part of the Indian Ocean had risen by half a degree.These higher temperatures brought heavy and sustained rains，cloud cover and warmer air to much of the Horn of Africa.Mosquitoes multiplied wildly—and lived long enough for the virus that causes the fever to develop to the point where it is easily transmissible.In September 2007 the researchers saw the same thing happening in the ocean，and suspected the same consequences would follow.
Questions 26-30 are based on the passage you have just heard.
26.How many stock animals died as a result of the outbreak of the Rift Valley fever in 1997？
27.What helped stop the outbreak of the Rift Valley fever in 2007？
28.Which of the following is not mentioned as a measure to prevent the 2007 outbreak from spreading？
29.What triggered the two outbreaks of the Rift Valley fever in Africa？
30.What is the talk mainly about？

Long Conversation
W：Hello doctor Smith，welcome to our program“Health Journey”.Could you tell us something about swine flu.
M：Well，it’s a common respiratory ailment in pigs that doesn’t usually spread to people.
W：But why are so many people infected？
M：Unlike most cases，this flu virus appears to be a sub-type not seen before in humans or pigs.It has genetic material from pigs，birds and humans，according to the WHO.
W：Then why is it called swine flu？Why pigs are the carriers of this virus？
M：Um.It’s closer to say that pigs were the mixing balls for this virus.
W：What does it mean？
M：I mean birds cannot pass bird flu to people.But pigs are susceptible to getting flu viruses that infected birds.The virus inside the infected pig might mutate to a form that could also infect other mammals.
W：Wow，so complicated.By the way，can we catch swine flu from eating pork？
M：Actually，ill pigs are not allowed to enter the market.Cooking also kills the virus.Only people who work with pigs can catch the virus.
W：How do they feel if infected？
M：The most common symptoms are fever，fatigue，lack of appetite and coughing，although some people also develop runny nose，sore throat，vomiting or diarrhea.
W：What should we do if we have these symptoms？
M：Stay home from work or school.Don’t get on a plane.Call your doctors to ask about the best treatment.Don’t simply show up at the clinic or hospital that is unprepared for your arrival.
W：Say，the antiviral study.How is it going？
M：This strain of swine flu does appear sensitive to the antiviral drugs Relenza and Tami flu，but not to Amantadine and Remantadine.
W：We’ve learned a lot tonight.Thanks for your coming，doctor Smith.
M：It’s my pleasure.

Passage One
Questions 21-25 are based on the following passage.
About 10 million people in the U.S.alone，from troops returning from war to students with music blasting through headphones are suffering from impairing noise-induced hearing loss.The rise in trend is something that researchers and physicians at the University of Michigan Cresgo Hearing Research Institute are hoping to reverse，with the cocktail of vitamins and the mineral magnesium（镁）that shall promise as a possible way to prevent hearing loss caused by loud noise.The nutrients were successful in laboratory tests.And now researchers are testing whether humans will benefit as well.The combination of vitamins A，C and E plus magnesium is given on pill form to patients who are participating in the research.Developed at the UM Cresgo Hearing Research Institute，the medication，called Oral Quell，is designed to be taken before a person is exposed to the loud noise.Until a decade ago，it was thought that noise damaged hearing by intense mechanical vibrations that destroyed delicate structures of the inner ear.There was no intervention to protect the inner ear other than reducing the intensity of sound reaching it，such as ear plugs which are not always effective.It was then discovered that noise caused intense metabolic activity in the inner ear and production of molecules that damage the inner ear cells.And that allows the discovery of intervention to prevent these effects.The laboratory research that led to a new understanding of mechanisms underlying noise-induced hearing loss was funded by NIH，the Preclinical Translation Research that led to the formulation of Oral Quell as effective preventative was funded by General Motors and the United Auto Workers.Now Oral Quell is being tested in a set of four multinational human clinical trials：military trials in Sweden and Spain，and industrial trials in Spain and the trial involving students at the University of Florida who listen to music at high volumes on their iPods and other PDAs.
Questions：
21.According to the talk，how many victims of hearing problem are there in the United States alone？
22.Which did UM Cresgo Hearing Research Institute develop to prevent hearing loss？
23.According to the latest findings，what does loud noise damage？
24.According to the talk，who supported the lab research？
25.Which of the following is not included as the multinational human clinical trials for Oral Quell？
Passage Two
Questions 26-30 are based on the following passage.
Catherine and other colleagues from Britain’s New Castle University combined data from 18 studies to look at the risk of abnormalities of babies whose mothers were obese or overweight.Obese women were nearly twice as likely to have a baby with neural tube defects which are caused by the incomplete development of the brain or spinal cord，the study found.For one such defect，spinal bifida（脊柱裂），the risk more than doubled.The researchers also detected increased chances of heart defect，cleft lip and palate，water on the brain（脑积水）and problems in the growth of arms and legs.The World Health Organization classifies around 400 million people around the world as obese，including 20 million under the age of 5，and the number is growing.Obesity raises the risks of diseases such as type Ⅱ.diabetes，heart problems and is a health concern piling pressure on an already overburdened national health system.Recent research has tight weight to other problems during pregnancy.A team from the Round Corporation Think Tank in California reported in 2008 that women who get pregnant after weight loss surgery tend to be healthier and less likely to deliver a baby born with complications compared to obese women.Further study may show how obesity may cause these problems，Juliet at New Castle University researcher who worked on the study said in a telephone interview.Women who are thinking about trying for a baby need to check their own weight first，and then think about seeking help if they are overweight.
Questions：
26.What is the talk mainly about？
27.Babies whose mothers are obese may have increased chances of the following diseases except？
28.According to the WHO，how many people are classified as obese around the world？
29.Which of the following can be a suggestion for obese women who plan to have a baby？
30.According to the talk，what may be the focus of further studies？

【解析】此题考点为细节信息再现。对话中的有效信息是：I’ll call him tonight.对话中女士劝说男士应该靠他哥哥，哥哥会帮他，但男士不好意思向哥哥求助，女士就劝男士别这么想，男士最后答应，晚上打电话给哥哥。所以答案是C。
That’s another pair of shoes的含义是“那就是另外一回事了”，例如：Making a promise and keeping it are quite a different pair of shoes（做出承诺和实现承诺是完全不同的两回事）。
21.【问题】这位男士正在做什么？
A.他正给出建议。 B.他正给病人做检查。
C.他正照顾他的女儿。 D.他正记录病人病史。
【答案】B
【解析】此题考点是细节信息再现。此题通过男士让女士做的一系列动作可以做出判断。“请仰面躺在床上，我要抬抬你的左腿，看能抬多高，保持膝盖平直，这里痛吗？”故答案是B。
22.【问题】这位女士要做什么？
A.让这位男士给她回电话。 B.要去植物园。
C.要做一些园艺事情。 D.去打网球。
【答案】D
【解析】此题考点为推断题。对话中男士邀请女士今天去植物园，女士说道：“我真希望你早点儿给我打电话。已经安排去打网球了。”根据男士的回应“too bad，some other time（太糟了，改天吧）”可知女士要去打网球而不是去植物园。
23.【问题】男士暗示什么？
A.路易斯不是新来的。
B.路易斯愿意成为护士。
C.路易斯为这位男士做了很多事情。
D.路易斯已经等了很久了。

（我在这里多久，路易斯就在这里多久）。所以答案是A。
24.【问题】这位女士现在有几个孩子？
A.2。 B.3。 C.4。 D.7。
【答案】B
【解析】此题考点为细节信息再现。当被问是不是第一次怀孕时，女士回答说已经有三个，所以答案是B。miscarriage的含义是“流产”。
25.【问题】女士在车祸中怎么了？
A.她被抛出窗外。 B.她被车撞倒了。
C.她头撞到了方向盘。 D.方向盘撞到了胸部。
【答案】D
【解析】此题为细节再现题。根据男士所问，女士回答说：“没被甩出去，但方向盘撞到了胸部，头撞到挡风板上。”可以判断选项D正确。
26.【问题】我们可以说这位女士怎么了？
A.她对男士反应过激。 B.她为失败而哭。
C.她节食成功。 D.她妒忌这位男性。
【答案】A
【解析】此题考点为推断题。男士说道很抱歉听说女士节食2个月后体重增加20磅。
女士的话语中don’t cry crocodile tears的含义是“猫哭耗子假慈悲”；“You’d be jealous of my figure if I succeeded.”是虚拟语气句型，意思是“我要是成功了你肯定妒忌我的身材。”通过以上解释可知正确答案是A。
27.【问题】这位男士什么意思？
A.他讨厌那些鬼混、闲逛的人。B.他永远不会试那些东西。
C.他会射杀任何一个毒品交易者。D.他后悔曾经试过那些东西。
【答案】B
【解析】此题为细节信息再现。对话中解题有效信息是男士说的：keep saying no
try the stuff。意思是“我会对让我试这种东西的人永远说不”，所以答案是B。fool around的含义是“闲逛，鬼混”，所以fool around with drugs就是指“吸毒鬼混”。stick to my guns的含义是“坚持自己的主张”。
28.【问题】这位女士是什么意思？
A.与男士期望相反。 B.比预期恢复得快。
C.一双不配套的靴子。 D.健康怀孕
【答案】A
【解析】此题考点为习语。男士问女士术后感觉如何，是否有重生的感觉。女士答语中the shoe is on the other foot的含义是“恰恰相反”。例如：He says it was his brother who broke the window，but the boot is no the other foot.（他说打破窗的是他弟弟，但恰恰相反）。所以答案是A。
29.【问题】关于筹款男士说了什么？
A.活动意外取消了。 B.比想象中筹到更多的钱。
C.比预期来的人少。 D.女士很失望男士缺席。
【答案】C
【解析】此题考点为细节再现。对话中解题的有效信息是男士话语中“Fewer people came than we had expected.”意思是“比我们预期的来的人少”，故选项C正确。短对话听力测试中，一定要留意混淆项，通常对话中发音很清楚明显的词作为混淆项，但其相关信息却是错误的，如此题中的选项A和选项D。
30.【问题】这个对话最可能发生在什么地方？
A.校内住宿办公室。 B.市区饭店。
C.租房中介。 D.养老院。
【答案】A
【解析】考点为细节推断。对话中解题有效信息是“
this office helps students with housing
”（这里是帮助学生住宿的办公室），以及“Are you a student in nursing program？”（你是护理专业的学生？）这些对话内容说明对话场景应该在校园里，且这个办公室针对护理专业的学生，所以A为正确选项。
31.【问题】说话者的感受如何？
A.兴奋，激动。 B.有精神的，清爽的。
C.累极了。 D.郁闷的。
【答案】C
【解析】考点为常用习语。此题解题关键在于口语中的习语，但如果不是很清楚习语的确切含义，对话中的细节信息也可以帮助我们猜答案，如“Let’s get something to eat.”“We’d be able to feel better with a little nutrition.”的含义是“找点儿东西吃”“有一些营养，我们可以感觉好些”。这些有效信息可以确定他们现在的感受是C。这个对话中的习语是最直接的解题信息：“Let’s call it a day.”（我们今天到此为止吧）“I’m beat too.”（我也累死了。）除此以外表示很累的说法还有“I’m exhausted.”“I’m bused.”。
32.【问题】这位男士打算做什么？
A.和父母去旅行。
B.安排一个乡村野餐。
C.去乘船旅游，甚至没有朋友（相伴）。
D.改搭飞机去马尔代夫。
【答案】C
【解析】此题考点为细节再现。对话中解题有效信息是“I’m still inclined to go.Alone if I have to.”意思是“我仍旧想去，如果必要的话我一个人去也行。”所以C项为正确答案。对话中got off the ground是一个习语，意思是“开始或取得进展”，说明男士和朋友乘船去马尔代夫的旅行没成行。
33.【问题】这位男士哪里不适？
A.他发烧了。 B.他恶心。 C.他腹泻。 D.他流鼻涕。
【答案】C
【解析】此题考点为细节再现。对话中解题有效信息是：have the runs和going to the toilet。have the runs的含义是“得痢疾”。所以选项C是答案。cereal的含义是“麦片”。
34.【问题】这位女士紧接着会做什么？
A.缝合男士的伤口。 B.去除玻璃碎片。
C.给男士伤口消毒。 D.靠近看男士的伤口。
【答案】A
【解析】此题考点为细节再现。对话中女士说到很多要做的事情：已经去除玻璃碎片，消毒了伤口，下一个要做的事情是缝合伤口。根据题目，可知考点是下一个要做的事情，关键词组是stitch you up，意思是“缝合伤口”。尽管这个词组可能会给考生造成障碍，但根据the next thing可知，B项、C项以及D项都已经做完了。
35.【问题】从对话中我们可以得知什么？
A.Lindley先生受了伤。
B.Lindley先生睡着了。
C.Lindley先生从椅子上摔下来了。
D.Lindley先生失去知觉。
【答案】D
【解析】此题考点为固定词组含义。对话中解题有效信息是pass out，其含义是“昏倒”。故选项D为答案。C项和对话中found him in his chair的含义：“发现时他在椅子上”不符。
36.【问题】这位女士讲了Jacky什么事？
A.她将申请杜克大学。
B.她很可能去得克萨斯大学上学。
C.她下定决心辍学工作。
D.她选择了杜克大学而不是得克萨斯大学。
【答案】B
【解析】此题为细节再现题。对话中的有效信息是：Jacky is considering attending the University of Texas in Houston.（Jacky正考虑去休斯敦的得克萨斯大学上学。）故答案是B。register的含义是“报到，注册”。
37.【问题】这位女士是什么意思？
A.她男朋友和她分手了。 B.她差点儿被卡车碾过。
C.她的一个朋友感情受伤。 D.她把男朋友的卡车丢到了河里。
【答案】A
【解析】此题的考点是固定搭配的含义和dump的含义。dump的含义是“倾倒，倾销”。对话中最后女士所说的话“My boyfriend just dumped me for another girl.”的含义是“我男朋友为了另外一个女孩抛弃了我”。故选项A为答案。选项B是原文信息“You look like you’ve been run over by a truck”的混淆项，原文含义是“你看上去就像被卡车碾过一样”，是一种比喻说法，不是事实，故选项B错误。
38.【问题】关于香奈尔的皮包，对话中说了什么？
A.这个比原价贵很多。 B.这个是给女士的礼物。
C.这是减价的最后一件。 D.这是个很值的便宜货。
【答案】D
【解析】此题是细节再现题。解题有效信息是：the bag is so expensive（这个包很贵）
以及it was only one tenth of the original price（价格仅是原价的十分之一）。
可以知选项D为正确答案。
39.【问题】下面那个词可以很好地描述男士的感受？
A.兴奋。 B.没耐性。 C.漠不关心。 D.关注。
【答案】B
【解析】考点是细节再现。对话中的有效信息是：you have said that several times（你已经讲了很多遍了）。故选项B为正确答案。
40.【问题】这位女士什么意思？
A.她后悔买了这车。 B.这车昨天刚到。
C.她将肯定不买这车。 D.这是她一直想要的车。
【答案】C
【解析】考点为意义推断题。女士所说的含义是“这车有很多毛病，如果你希望我买
了，你一定认为我是昨天刚出生的”，这说明这位女士肯定不买这车。
41.【问题】这位男士是什么意思？
A.他病得很重。 B.他的工作一团糟。
C.这周天气很糟糕。 D.他一直在压力下工作。
【答案】D
【解析】此题的考点是细节再现。当被问到最近工作如何时，这位男士说lousy（很糟
糕）以及It’s been a tense week（紧张的一周），故答案是D。

听力原文
W：Mr.Scot.I like to record this consultation，so you and Mrs.Scot can play back later for anything that may not be clear to you today.I’m afraid that the scan results aren’t very good.It’s likely that you got a recurrence of cancer in your pancreas.That would explain why you’ve been feeling so tired，and your loss of appetite and weight.
M：Doctor Smith，do I need surgery？
W：Surgery isn’t an option at this stage.Although we cannot operate，there’s still a lot we can do to help you.You’ve got tablets for pain relief，and we can give you something stronger if you need it.We can also start you on a course of chemotherapy to help you with your symptoms.This won’t cure you，but will make you feel more comfortable.It’s unusual to have any advice on what you eat and to help you get your appetite back.
M：What’s my life expectancy？How long have I got？
W：One can never be certain about these issues.People with this condition vary a great deal.I would be wrong to give you a definite time scale.But I’d say it’s a matter of months rather than years.I’m sorry to have to tell you all this，but my feeling is that it’s always good to be honest with people，then you know what’s what.If you are in agreement，I’d like to book you into Ward 2 to start your chemo.You’ll need to come in every week for the next month.

C.睡眠不足导致的低代谢率。 D.睡眠不足导致的高代谢率。
【答案】C
【解析】根据文章中的这句话“This finding overturns the common view that overeating among the sleep-deprived explains such weight differences.”可以得知研究结果推翻了普遍的观点——睡眠缺乏群体中的过激反应可以解释这样的体重差异，这可知选项A错误。“Lower metabolic rate or less fidgeting resulting from less sleep may be the reason behind the weight gain.”告诉我们代谢率低或者因为睡眠少造成的烦躁可能是原因，故选项C正确。
30.【问题】如果想减肥，Patel会给出什么样的建议？
A.每天锻炼。 B.服用饮食药片。
C.控制饮食。 D.睡得多一些。
【答案】D
【解析】此题可根据文章主旨进行解题，全文围绕睡眠和减肥的关系，指出睡眠不足会比睡眠较多的人增重更多，故选项D正确。
听力原文
Here’s a dreamy weight-loss plan：take a nap.That’s the message from work by Sanjay Patel at Case Western Reserve University in Cleveland，Ohio.His study of more than 68，000 women has found that those who sleep less than 5 hours a night gain more weight over time than those who sleep 7 hours a night.
Controlling for other differences between the groups，Patel found that women who slept 5 hours or less gained 0.7 kilograms more on average over 10 years than 7-hour sleepers.The short-sleeping group was also 32 per cent more likely to have gained 15 kilograms or more，and 15 percent more likely to have become obese.
Significantly，the short-sleepers consumed fewer calories than those who slept 7 hours，says Patel，who presented his results this week at the American Thoracic Society International Conference in San Diego，California.This finding overturns the common view that overeating among the sleep-deprived explains such weight differences.
Lower metabolic rate resulting from less sleep may be the reason behind the weight gain，Patel suggests.“It obviously also suggests that getting people to sleep more might be a relatively easy way to help people lose weight，”he says.
Questions：
26.What did the Patel’s study indicate？
27.How many subjects did Patel have in his study？
28.According to the Patel’s study，which of the following is not true？
29.According to Patel，what might be the reason behind the weight differences？
30.What is the suggestion Patel will give to those who want to lose weight？

听力原文
Stephen Hawking
Life on other planet is likely，but intelligent life is less likely.Famed astrophysicist，Stephen Hawking has been thinking a lot about the cosmic question：Are we alone？“The answer is probably not，”he says.“If there is life elsewhere in the universe，”Hawking says，“why haven’t we stumbled onto some alien broadcasts in space？Maybe something like ‘alien quiz show’？”Hawking’s comments were part of the lecture at George Washington University on Monday in honor of NASA’s 50th anniversary.He theorized that there are possible answers to whether there is extraterrestrial life.One option is that there likely isn’t any life elsewhere or maybe there is intelligent life elsewhere.But when it gets smart enough to send signals into space，it’s also smart enough to make destructive nuclear weapons.Hawking said he prefers the third opinion，“Primitive life is very common，and intelligent life is fairly rare.”He then quickly added：“Some would say it has yet to occur on earth.”So should you worry about aliens？Alien abduction claims come from the“weirdos”and are unlikely.However，because alien life might not have DNA like us，Hawking warned，“Watch out if you would meet an alien.You could be infected with a disease to which you have no resistance.”The 66-year-old British cosmologist who suffers from ALS and must speak through a mechanical device believes if the human race is to continue for another million years，we would have to boldly go where no one has gone before.Hawking compared people who don’t want to spend money on human space exploration to those who opposed to the journey of Christopher Columbus in 1492.“The discovery of the new world made a difference to the old.Just think we won’t have had a Big Mac or KFC.”

Obesity Contributes to Global Warming Too
Obese and overweight people require more fuel to transport them，and the problem will worsen as the population grows，a team at the London School of Hygiene&Tropical Medicine says.
This adds to the food shortage and higher energy prices，the school’s researchers wrote in the journal Lancet on Friday.
At least 400 million adults worldwide are obese.The World Health Organization （WHO）projects by 2015，2.3 billion adults will be overweight and more than 700 million will be obese.
In their model，the researchers pegged 40 percent of the global population as obese with a body mass index of near 30.Many nations are fast approaching or have surpassed this level.
BMI is a calculation of height to weight，and the normal range is usually considered to be 18 to 25，with more than 25 considered overweight and above 30 obese.
The researchers found that obese people require 1，680 daily calories to sustain normal energy and another 1，280 calories to maintain daily activities，18 percent more than someone with a stable BMI.
Because thinner people eat less and are more likely to walk than rely on cars，a slimmer population would lower demand for fuel for transportation and for agriculture.
This is also very important because 20 percent of greenhouse gas emission stem from agriculture.
The next step is quantifying how much a heavier population is contributing to climate change，higher fuel prices and food shortage.
“Promotion of a normal distribution of BMI would reduce the global demand for，and thus the price of，food，”Edwards and Roberts wrote.
Questions：
36.Which of the following can best describe the main idea of the talk？
37.According to the talk，which of the following can be made worse by the growing obese population？
38.According to WHO，by 2015，what would be the estimated figure of the global obese population？
39.According to the researchers，how much energy would an obese person need for a day？

听力原文
For years researchers have debated whether smoking effects the lungs in men and women differently.In a most compelling study on the topic to date，researchers determined that women are twice as vulnerable to lung cancer as men.But in a surprising twist，they die at half the rate of men.
The study，which was published last week in the Journal of the American Medical Association，included 9，427 men and 7，498 women from throughout North America who were healthy，at least 40 years old and either current or former smokers.Over the course of more than eight years，a group of investigation led by Dr.Claudia Henschke of the Weill Medical College in New York City identified lung tumors in 113 of the men and 156 of the women.Then the researchers kept track of who lived and for how long，as well as the treatment participants were given.The study showed that both sexes tended to be in their late 60s when they received a lung-cancer diagnosis but that the women usually had smoked considerably less than the men.Still，at each stage of lung cancer，the women lived longer than the men.
If the reported results are confirmed，there are a few hints from other research that might explain the sex difference.Women’s bodies appear to have greater difficulty repairing the damage to their genes caused by smoking，but there is also some evidence that estrogen，which is found in women’s lungs as well as their ovaries，may interfere with some tumors’ability to grow.
There is one thing about which all investigators are ready to agree：lung cancer is particularly deadly and almost entirely preventable.So the take-home message is clear： Don’t smoke！If you do smoke，quit！
Questions：
41.What is the talk mainly about？
42.What was one of the requirements for the participants of the study？
43.Over the course of more than eight years，how many of the participants developed lung cancer？
44.Which of the following is one finding of the study？
45.What is the consensus among all the investigators on smoking？
