B解析：

当地犯罪率降低的原因是警察用了高科技武器（hightechnologyweapons），男士觉得这个消息是很安慰人的。可女士的意见则是，警察应该用他们的智慧（wits）而非武器来制服罪犯。因此，女士对于此则消息的态度是消极的（negative）。所以选B。3.

Gocampingwithherfriends.D)

Discusswithsomestudentsaboutthecomposition.答案：

B解析：

音频中，男士邀请女士去露营，但女士手头有些工作要做，所以去不了。她要忙着整理一些范文（workupsomesamplecompositions），因为系领导要她周一将这些文章发给同学们。此题考察对于短语workup的理解，此语境中，workup应理解为“逐步完善（文章，项目等）”。所以选B。6.

Becausetheweatherisnotalwayssuitabletoviewstarsinhisplace.答案：C解析：男士提到，在他住的地方，不太能看到星星，因为他住在离伦敦市中心很近的地方，那里会有光污染(lightpollution)。选项A虽然没有说错，但并不是男士看不到星星的主要原因，所以选C。14.

人们一般认为随着年龄的增长，身体不可避免地变得越来越差。但是直到最近也没有找到具有说服力的证据。最近，一系列新的研究显示充足的运动可以增进老年人的身体健康。其中的一项研究以四十位年龄在40-70岁以上跑步运动员，自行车运动员和游泳运动员为调查对象。研究发现，年龄的增加并没有给他们带来体质的下降。据此，研究者们发现，老年人做适当的运动对于健康是非常有帮助的。
