B)要求将教师工资提高3%。C)提议增加5.99%的开支。D)为至少8个预算周期持续筹集资金。【解析】新闻开头就提到，威尔顿学校董事会提议增加5.99%的开支，故选项C正确。新闻中表示威尔顿学校本学年的预算金额为5670万美元，而非下一学年，故排除选项A。其余两个选项在新闻中没有依据，可排除。

B)它经常出故障。C)它不像同事们的手机那样贵。D)它缺少办公所需的功能。【解析】在对话中，男士提到办公室里每个人都有一部很不错、价格昂贵的手机，他对自己的手机有点难为情。由此可知，男士认为自己的手机比不上同事们的手机，没有同事们的手机那么好、那么贵，所以答案是C项。A、B、D三项在对话中没有相关信息，故均排除。

B)它们有助于为购买更大的房子存钱。

C)它们对很多人来说是个不错的选择。D)它们对减少全球浪费至关重要。【解析】在对话中，男士总结道小户型住宅可能并不适合所有人，但对很多人来说是个不错的选择，所以答案是C项。虽然男士提到小户型住宅对环境有益处，即建造时使用更少的土地和资源，但并没有强调其对减少全球浪费至关重要，对此没有相关的明确表述，故排除D项;A、B两项对话中没有相关信息，故均排除。SectionCDirections:Inthissection,youwillhearthreepassages.Attheendofeachpassage,youwillhearthreeorfourquestions.Boththepassageandthequestionswillbespokenonlyonce.Afteryouhearaquestion,youmustchoosethebestanswerfromthefourchoicesmarkedA),B)C)andD).ThenmarkthecorrespondingletteronAnswerSheet1withasinglelinethroughthecentre.Questions16to18arebasedonthepassageyouhavejustheard.16.A)Playoutdoorsandenjoythemselves.B)Beatchallengesandtakerisks.C)Takecareoftheirwell-being.D)Growupstrongandhealthy.17.A)Enablethemtodeveloptheirmotorskills.B)Helpthemtoconcealtheirfrustration.C)Reducetheirstressanddepression.D)Preventthemfromfeelinglonely.18.A)Itbeginsearly.B)Itprovesdemanding.C)Itcallsforlifelongefforts.D)Itliesinnatureexperiences.PassageOne·听力原文·Kidsneedtimeeverydaytorun,jump,stretchandplay.Theseexperienceshavebeenshowntobuildchildren'sconfidenceandpleasureinphysicalactivities,developtheirmotorskills,andevenimproveemotionalwell-being.Tobeginwith,childrenseemtohaveanaturaldesiretoovercomechallengesandtakerisks.Takinghealthyrisksthroughphysicalmovementbuildschildren'sconfidenceandabilitytosolveproblemsandpersistthroughfrustration.Secondly,movementactivitiesbuildchildren'sbigbodyskillssuchascoordinationandbalance,aswellasthefinemotorskillstheyneedfortaskslikewriting,tyingtheirshoes,orthrowingandcatchingaball.Thirdly,accordingtotheAmericanPsychologicalAssociation,regularphysicalactivity(andespeciallyoutdooractivity)reduceschildren'sstressanddepression,andimprovestheirabilitytofocusandlearn.Regularexercisecansignificantlyimproveself-regulationanddecreasedisciplinaryconsequencesfornegativebehavior.Physicalactivityprovidesapositiveoutletforfrustration,anxiety,orangerandcanbecomeahealthycopingskillthroughoutlife.Finally,weknowthatphysicalactivityisimportantforourphysicalandmentalhealth,andcultivatingthehabitofphysicalactivitystartsearly.Childrenaremorelikelytodevelopalifelongloveofphysicalactivityfromfrequentpositiveearlyexperiences.Noteverychildenjoyscompetitivesportsorplayingwithballsandthat'sOK.Thereareplentyofotheroptionssuchasimaginativeplay,non-competitivegames,andgardeningornatureexperiences.
