Occasionally the flu becomes widely spread; in 1918, it killed 20 million people world wide. (26)The flu is a very infectious viral infection spread through the air by coughing, sneezing, or simply talking. It is not caused by getting caught in a rainstorm or by sleeping with the fan or air-conditioning on. The period before the symptoms appear is about three days. (27)It doesn't sneak up on you, like a cold does. All of a sudden, you feel weak, you have a high fever, you have chills, you cough frequently and force fully, your throat is sore, and your body aches. For most adults, the treatment is to simply wait it out; stay home, get lots of bed rest, drink lots of fluids, and take over-the-counter medications such as aspirin, pain-killers, and so on. Symptoms usually go away with in two weeks. For the elderly and young, the initial viral infection may become a bacterial infection with deadly consequences, because the victim becomes too weak to battle the disease. The death rate for the general population is about one in 1,000. (28)Those most susceptible to severe effects of the flu are people over 65 and people with chronic heart or lung problems, such as asthma. Flu season in the US is usually December to March. (29)The best prevention, of course, is to stay away from infected people. Since that is almost impossible, the next best preventive strategy is to get an annual flu shot.

(30)They think that smaller college educates much more effectively and much more powerfully, it stretches everyone more. It draws everyone into more different kinds of activities. Of course, there are also good arguments for attending a larger school. Many big schools are widely recognized. And in some cases that might lead to more job interviews than a degree from a lesser known college. Larger schools also have more money, which can mean more resources for education, recreation and re search. (31)In addition to size, there are other important things to consider. For example: Firstly, which pro grams at the school are the strongest? Some schools have stronger programs in the sciences. Others are stronger in the liberal arts. Also, what do the school's top students go on to do after they graduate? What kinds of activities are offered that might add to the educational experience? Are there sports teams? What about a radio station or newspaper? Something else to consider is the kinds of services that a school offers for international students. But Earlham College President Douglas Bennett says one choice tops all others. (32)"The most important choice you make in going to college is who you choose to be yourself. If you're prepared to bring your best self to college, then it hardly matters where you go to college. On the other hand, if you choose not to be very motivated, not to be very responsible, not to be prepared to work very hard, it doesn't matter where you go; you probably won't get a good education.

[听前预测] 根据各选项的关键词one's，判断本题可能与某种选择有关。 [答案解析] 录音中提到，在选择学校时最重要的一个选择就是，你想成为什么样的人。学校的 选择取决于一个人的态度。故选A) 项。 23、D [解析] 33-35 A newly-published study has shown that loneliness can spread from one person to another, like a disease, through social groups. Having a social connection with a lonely person increased the chances that another individual would feel lonely, in fact, a friend of a lonely person was fifty-two percent more likely to develop feelings of loneliness. A friend of that person was twenty-five percent more likely. (33) The researchers say this shows that a person could indirectly be affected by someone's loneliness. The effect was strongest among friends. Neighbors were the second most affected group. The effect was weaker on husbands and wives, and brothers and sisters. The researchers also found that lonely ness spread more easily among women than men. The New York Times newspaper reports that, on average, people experience feelings of loneliness about forty-eight days a year. Yet the study found that having a friend who is lonely can add about seventeen days a year of loneliness. It also found that every additional friend can decrease loneliness by about five percent, or two and a half fewer lonely days. Loneliness has been linked to health problems like depression and sleeping difficulties. (34)The researchers believe that knowing the causes of loneliness could help in reducing it. The researchers did not study how loneliness spreads. However, existing research offers some possibilities. Lonely people are often mistrustful of others. This behavior spreads from one person to another, along with the emotion responsible for it. (35)The study suggests that people can take steps to stop the spread of loneliness. They can do this by helping individuals they know who may be experiencing loneliness. The result can be helpful to the whole social group. Q: What did the study find about the spread of loneliness? [听前预测] 根据loneliness、spread等，判断本题可能与孤独的散布方式有关。 [答案解析] 录音中提到，研究者说一个人可以间接地被另一个人的孤独情感所影响。故选D) 项。 24、D [解析] Q: According to the speaker, what is the way to decrease loneliness? [听前预测] 根据overcome、get rid of、encourage、find等关键词，判断本题可能与达到 某种目的有关。 [答案解析] 录音中提到，研究者相信，查清寂寞的缘由有助于减轻寂寞感，故选D)项。其中的 root是录音中cause的同义转换。 25、B [解析] Q: According to the study，how to stop the spread of loneliness? [听前预测] 根据关键词the lonely person、keep away、offer a hand、develop trust、 raise emotion等，判断本题可能与如何消除寂寞或帮助寂寞的人有关。 [答案解析] 录音中提到，研究表明人们可以逐步地阻止寂寞感的传播，这可以通过帮助可能正 在经历寂寞的人实现，。offer a hand是help的同义转换。故选B)项。 Section C 26、 benefits [解析] 36-46 Information has gone from scarce to superabundant. That brings huge new benefits, but also big headaches. The world contains an unimaginably vast amount of digital information which is getting ever vaster ever more rapidly. This makes it possible to do many things that previously could not be done: spot business trends, prevent diseases, combat crime and so on. Managed well, the data can be used to unlock new sources of economic value, provide fresh insights into science and hold governments to account. But they are also creating a host of new problems. Despite the abundance of tools to capture, process and share all this information—sensors, computers, mobile phones and the like—it already exceeds the available storage space. Moreover, ensuring data security and protecting privacy is becoming harder as the information multiplies and is shared ever more widely around the world. The effect is being felt everywhere, from business to science, from government to the arts. Scientists and computer engineers have coined a new term for the phenomenon: "big data", information is made up of a collection of data and knowledge is made up of different strands of information, it can be inferred that "Data" and "information" are interchangeably because the two are increasingly difficult to tell apart The business of information management-helping organisations to make sense of their increasing data-is growing by leaps and bounds. Chief information officers have become somewhat more prominent in the executive suite, and a new kind of professional has emerged, the data scientist, who combines the skills of software programmer, statistician and storyteller/artist to extract the elites of gold hidden under mountains of data. [答案解析] benefit意为“利润，利益”。由空格前的bring判断，此处为宾语，中心词应为名词， 因此判断此处应该为名词。 27、 digital [解析] digital意为“电子的”。根据空格后的information判断此处应为形容词，作定语，修饰 information。 28、 previously [解析] previously意为“事先，以前”。根据空格单词所处的定语从句判断，该句缺少副词。 29、spot [解析] spot意为“发现，认出，断定”。根据空后的其他动宾结构的并列短语，判断此处所填的词 为动词，修饰后面的名词短语business trends。 30、unlock [解析] unlock意为“打开”。根据空后面的并列短语结构判断，此处所填词与后面的动词短语结构 和词性一致，因此判断应为动词。 insights 31、 [解析] insight意为“洞悉，深刻的理解”。根据此空前面的动词provide判断，此空为provide 的宾语，因前面有形容词修饰，因此此空应为名词。 32、 creating [解析] create意为“创作，创造”。根据此空前的are及空后的名词短语，综合判断此空为动词的 进行时态。 33、 available [解析] available意为“可用的”。本空修饰名词因此判断此处为形容词。 34、 ensuring data security and protecting privacy is becoming harder as the information multiplies and is shared ever more widely around the world [解析] 信息量的增加及信息在全球被广泛分享，使得保证数据安全、保护隐私变得越来越难。 [关键词] ensure, data security, protect, privacy, harder, multiply, share, widely [大意] The wide spread of information makes it harder to ensure data security and the protection of privacy 35、 "Data" and "information" are interchangeably because the two are increasingly difficult to tell apart [解析] 由于“数据”和“信息”这两个词越来越难区分，这两个词甚至可以互换。 [关键词] data, information, interchangeably, tell apart, difficult [大意] It’s difficult to tell Data and information apart, so they can be replaced by each other 36、Chief information officers have become somewhat more prominent in the executive suite，and a new kind of professional has emerged [解析] 在经理人的办公套间里，首席信息官的地位更加突出了，一种新型的职业产生了。 [关键词] chief information officers, prominent, new profession, emerge [大意] The status of chief information officers has got higher and a new professional has appeared
