题、Correcttheirmistakeassoonaspossible.Givetwopetsaphysicalcheckup.Hireacharterjettobringthepetsback.Sendanotherplanetocontinuetheflight.我的答案：参考答案：A答案解析：［听力原文］Q:WhatdidthespokespersonforUnitedAirlinessaytheywoulddoaftertheincident?在新闻结尾，美国联合航空公司的发言人说AnerroroccurredduringtheconnectionsinDenver...Wewillarrangetoreturnthepetstothemassoonaspossible（丹佛的转机过程出了差错 我们将尽快安排将宠物送还给他们）。也就是说，美国联合航空公司会尽快改正他们的错误，将两条宠物狗安全送回，选项A为正确答案。新闻中间的确提到Buddywasgivenaphysicalcheckup（巴迪接受了体检）,而巴迪是其中一条狗，新闻中并未提及另一条狗也接受了体检，选项B可排除。新闻中提到了ThedogwasthensentbacktotheU.S.onaprivatecharterjet（它随后坐私人包机被送回美国），此处的“它”指巴迪，新闻并未提及另一条狗也被私人飞机送回目的地，故可排除选项C。选项D新闻未提及，故可排除。［听力原文］OfficialsatReidParkZooinTucson,Arizona,arecelebratingthebirthofababyelephant.ZooofficialssaythebabywasbornonMonday.Itisafemale,andsheweighsnearly130kilograms.Semba,hermother,isa30-year-oldAfricanelephant.Thepregnancylasted22months.Officialsdescribedthebabyelephantas"healthy,standingandnursing.〃Thebabyhasn，tbeengivenanameyet.Sembahasgivenbirthbefore.Zooofficialssaidduringthispregnancy,shewascloselymonitoredthroughphysicalexamsandbloodtests.Dr.SueTygielskiisthezoo,sdirectorofzoologicaloperations.Shesaidtheelephant，sbirthwentsmoothlyandthattherewerenocomplications.Thenewbabyexpandsthezoo'selephantherdtosix.Thatincludesthebaby，sparents,asister,abrother,andanadultfemale.第4

题、Droughts.Bushfires.Farming.Hunting.我的答案：参考答案：A答案解析：［听力原文］Q：Whatdoesthewomansayhascausedtheshrinkingofducks'habitatsinAustralia?对话中女士提到WeseemoredroughtsincountrieslikeAustralia.Ducksarebirdsthatfeedandbreedinareaswherethereisalotofwater,buttheirhabitatshavebeenshrinkinginrecentdecadesbecauseofthedroughts.（我们看到澳大利亚等国出现了更多的干旱。鸭子是在水资源丰富的地方觅食和繁殖的鸟类，但近几十年来，由于干旱，它们的栖息地一直在缩小），可知此题选A项。第11

题、A.Shecouldhaveaskedafriendforhelpwiththepaintjob.Paintingahouseinvolvesmoretroublethanshethought.Sheshouldhaverepaintedherhousemuchearlier.Movingherfurnitureisharderthanthepaintjob.我的答案：参考答案：B答案解析：［听力原文］Q：Whathasthewomancometorealizeattheendoftheconversation?由对话可知，粉刷工作进行的时候，女士将有两天不能住在自己的房子里，她将不得不借住在朋友那里或者住进一家宾馆。然后她说她还没考虑过这些，并指出I'mstartingtorealizethatpaintingmyhouseisfarmoretroublesomethanIhadanticipated.（我开始意识到,粉刷房子比我预想的要麻烦得多），由此可知，此题选B项。听力篇章［听力原文］Homeworkisanimportantpartofschooling,butthepurposesofgivingchildrenhomeworkwillchangeastheygrowolder.Attheprimarylevel,themainaimistocultivategoodhabits,likelearningtoplanandexercisingself-discipline.Duringthesecondaryschoolyears,extendingwhatislearnedatschoolispositivelyrelatedtoacademicachievement,sothecontentofhomeworkbecomesmoreimportant.Sohowcanyouhelpyourchilddotheirbest?Creatinganidealworkingenvironmentwillmakeiteasierforthemtogetdowntotheirassignmentsquickly.Makesureit'sfreeofdistractions,and—forprimaryschoolchildrenatleast—somewherenearyou,soyoucananswerquestionsandofferencouragement.Youprobablyhavetohelpyoungerchildrenplantheirsession,butit'simportantthatbytheendofprimaryschoolit'ssecondnature.Getthemtotellyoueverythingtheyhavetodo,thenencouragethemtoestablishanorderinwhichtheydowork.Whenthereareseveraldifferentassignments,makesuretheybeginwithonetheyenjoy,soitseemseasytogetstarted.It'sbesttotakeonthemostdifficulttasksecond-oncethey*resettled,butbeforetheygettired.Ifolderchildrenhavemorethananhourofhomework,encouragethemtoscheduleashortbreaktostretch.Ifyouencouragethemtotellyouwhatthey，velearned,they，Ilabsorbtheinformationmoredeeplyandrememberitmorereadily.第17
