Directions: In Section B, you will hear two short passages and one longer conversation. After each passage or conversation, you will be asked several questions. The passages and the conversation will be read twice, but the questions will be spoken only once. When you hear a question, read the four possible answers on your paper, and decide which one is the best answer to the question you have heard.
Questions 11 through 13 are based on the following passage.Can’t resist picking from the fridge or cupboard before dinner? A little cheese, some biscuits and apple? It never seems like much. Yet, by the time dinner comes around, you are full. If this is you, here are two strategies to help you out. Think about what you are eating earlier in the day. If you are having a light lunch, then trying to last until dinner, you may be doing harm to yourself by leaving it too long. Between food stops, you will get too hungry and overeat at dinner. Instead, try having a slice of
toast
or a piece of fruit and a cup of yogurt at about 3:30 PM. This should keep you going until dinner, so you can resist the pre-dinner snacking. The other strategy is that if you do have a snack before dinner, put it on a plate. Instead of picking and paying no attention to what you are eating, arrange some food properly on a small plate, then sit down to eat your snack. Simply by doing this, you will eat a lot less and still be ready for the main event.
Questions:
11. What is the speaker mainly talking about?
How to respond scientifically when feeling hungry before dinner.
12. What does the speaker suggest you do if you have a light lunch?
Having a slice of
toast or a piece of fruit.
13. According to the speaker, why should you put a pre-dinner snack on a plate?
Because it can make you eat much less before dinner.
Questions 14 through 16 are based on the following passage.How many trees are there in the world? Until now, scientists could only guess. The estimate of global tree number is approximately 400 billion. In the tree survey project, by using satellite images and onsite counting in more than 小学科学教学 50 countries, researchers at an American university counted more than 3,000 billion trees in the world, roughly seven times more than previously estimated. Among all the countries, Russia is ranked first in the tree number. But researchers also warn that the number of trees on earth has fallen by 46% since the start of civilization, due to demand for wood and farmland. Humans cut down more than 15 billion trees each year, replanting only 5 billion. At that rate, trees on
earth
will be gone in about three centuries. The project’s goal is to draw attention to the importance of trees and their role in reducing the gravity of climate change. The project’s lead researcher says trees store huge amounts of carbon. They are among the most important and critical living beings on earth.
