听力原文：SpeechwritingThe success of a speech is often attributed to the skill of the speaker, with merit being given to speakers who are confident, articulate, knowledgeable and able to deliver a speech with conviction. But often it is not the speakers who write these moving speeches, it is a speechwriter. And one industry in which this practice is common is that of politics. So what does it take to be a political speechwriter? A political speechwriter needs to have exceptional interpersonal skills, be detail-oriented and able to demonstrate a deep knowledge of their subject.

PART II LISTENING COMPREHENSION

听力原文：SleepGood morning, everyone. Today, we’ll talk about sleep. Sleep is something everyone needs, but many don’t get enough. As a student, you may know what it means to be sleep deprived due to all the late nights of working or being unable to sleep. Researchers have found that insufficient sleep negatively affects one’s well-being.Then how much sleep do we need? The recommended amount of sleep for an adult is eight to ten hours in order to function at best. This amount differs for each

person, but it is beneficial to know how many hours of sleep are recommended. In a study of 1,120 students, it found that only 30 percent of students sleep at least eight hours a night.Although it may seem overwhelming, there are some ways to help you get a better night’s sleep. Today, we’ll get to know about four effective ways for a better sleep.The first way is to have a consistent meal schedule. Eating and sleeping may not seem relevant to each other; however, they are interrelated. By eating at certain times, you can regulate your circadian rhythm which is your internal biological clock. For example, it is important to eat breakfast because it sets the tone for the rest of the day and gives you energy. A common mistake that many students make is that they will eat late at night. This is a problem because your body is still digesting food while you are trying to sleep.The second way is to take regular exercise. If your sleep is restless, exercise can help. Exercising thirty minutes or more daily makes it easier for you to fall asleep at night. Exercising in the daytime will allow you to be energized for the day and help you obtain a deep sleep at night. Although exercise is great for the body, it is not recommended that you exercise three hours within your bedtime because it will stimulate your body and thus make it more difficult to rest.The third way is to stay away from caffeine. If you’re having trouble sleeping at night, it would be best to avoid caffeine. Caffeine can cause sleep problems up to ten to twelve hours after drinking it. Sources of caffeine include coffee, tea and soda.The last way to attain the best quality of sleep is to make a good sleeping environment. This means you should reserve your bed for sleeping only because if you associate your bed with events like work or errands, it will be harder to wind down at night. This may be difficult in dorms, but you can utilize places like the library, University Union, and your dorm’s study lounges for work and study. Other ways to make your room a better sleeping environment is to turn off your computer and television while trying to fall asleep. The slightest amount of light in your bedroom will affect the amount of melatonin, a brain hormone that induces sleeping, in your brain.OK, these are the four ways for a better sleep we’ve introduced today. I hope by making little adjustments, you’ll be able to get more sleep and a better quality of sleep.

听力原文：W: Easthill Town Hall, Tourism and City Life Office, Fiona speaking. How may I help you?M: Yes, hello. I don’t live in Easthill, but I’ve just been offered a job there, for a few months. It means I need to arrange to move to Easthill for the summer.W: Where would you like to start?M: Perhaps with accommodation?W: OK,

Easthill’s certainly not the easiest place to find accommodation in.M: Oh dear.W: But I’m not saying it’s impossible. It’s not that big a town, and the center, being historic, is quite small, so demand is very high and that’s reflected in prices.M: I only want a single place.W: What I’d recommend, to keep costs down, is a shared flat. The rent would be much lower than for a one-bedroom place, particularly in the center.M: Uh-huh. If I really wanted to maintain my privacy, and get at least, say, a studio flat...W: Well, that might be a compromise. I don’t have any specific details, but I do know that if you go onto new home--as one word--dot com, that site has quite a few places, and there are pictures and plans and so on.M: OK. I’ll just write that down, thanks. So what about transport?W: Easthill has really good bus services. They’re frequent and they go everywhere, and they’re how everyone gets around. But they are quite expensive if you pay for each trip, so it’s better to get a pass. They’re available as 7-day, which is the shortest, 30-day and 90-day, which would perhaps suit you the most, and one-year, which works out the cheapest, but might be too long for you.M: Yes, it definitely would.W: Is there anything else I can help you with?M: Yes. I like to keep fit, so I’d like to know what health clubs there are in Easthill.W: Ok, well, there are two, Blooms Leisure Center and also the Good Life Center. I’ve got some information here about them.M: Would I be able to try them before actually joining?W: Yes, one of the staff at Good Life will show you around if you go along, and then you make your decision about joining. While at Blooms, they offer two fitness classes at no charge, so you can get a taste of what they’re like.M: Both sound great! Do they have pools? I love swimming.W: Blooms has a full-size pool and it’s outdoor. Good Life doesn’t have a pool, but they have tennis courts. Right, both centers have cafes.M: I’m not really a fan of tennis. Blooms sounds like a better choice.W: Is there anything else I can help you?M: That seems fair enough. You’ve been very helpful, thank you.This is the end of Conversation Two.Questions 6-10 are based on Conversation Two.6. Why does the man plan to move to Easthill?7. What do we learn about Easthill from the conversation?8. How can the man get specific details about studio flats?9. What’s the best way to take buses for the man in Easthill?10. Why does the man prefer Blooms to Good Life?

17．

A．Because he goes to university in Easthill. B．Because he works in Easthill Town Hall. C．Because he came here for summer vacation. D．Because he will work there for the summer.

正确答案：D

解析：①预读题目选项可知，本题考查原因。②对话一开始，男士就直接说明了自己的情况，他刚刚得到一份在Easthill的工作，这个夏天准备搬来Easthill，因此D项正确。③A项中university的相关信息在文中没有任何线索。B项中的Easthill Town Hall是接电话的Fiona所在的地方。C项中的summer vacation在录音中没有提到。 知识模块：听力

18．

A．It’s easy to find accommodation here. B．It’s a big and historic town. C．Its center is modern and new. D．The rental price here is very high.

正确答案：D 解析：①预读选项可知，本题关于town的情况。②女士谈到Easthill时说到，它是一个不算大的小城镇，镇中心相当的小但有历史意义，所以住房需求很大，这一点也反映到了价格中。由此可见，这里的租房价格很贵，故选D。 知识模块：听力

19．

A．To ask the lady for details.

B．To search on a housing website. C．To find details from newspapers. D．To watch advertisements on TV.

正确答案：B

解析：①由对话可知在男士询问studio flats时，接待他的女士表示自己“没有相关的细节信息”，但是她推荐了www．Newhome．com这个网站，并说网站里提供“一些地方、图片、租房计划”等信息。由此可知，B项正确。②A项与对话内容不符合，C、D选项在文中没有线索。 知识模块：听力

20．

A．To use a 7-day bus pass. B．To use a 13-day bus pass. C．To use a 90-day bus pass. D．To use a one-year bus pass.

正确答案：C

解析：①题目选项都包含bus pass，可以推断题目询问不同期限的公交通行卡的相关内容。②由对话可知，在Easthill乘坐公交车，用通行卡比逐次交费要便宜，7-day pass“是最短的期限”，而90-day pass“对该男士最合适”，one-year pass“最便宜但太长”，因此判断C项正确。 知识模块：听力

21．

A．Because Blooms has a café.

B．Because Blooms offers two free classes. C．Because Blooms has tennis courts. D．Because Blooms has a pool.

正确答案：D

解析：①题目选项中出现了café，free classes，tennis courts，pool，四个和Blooms相关的词语，在听音过程中应格外留意它们和Blooms之间的关系。②由

对话可知，对于健身房的要求，男士主动询问游泳池，并明确提出了他喜欢游泳。女士表示Blooms有游泳池，而Good Life没有。男士当即表示Blooms是更好的选择。由此可知他是因为游泳池而偏向Blooms，D项正确，同时可以排除C项。③对话中提到，两个健身中心都有café，故A项不正确。free classes是Blooms独有，但男士并没有因此表示明显的偏好，所以B项没有足够的证据。 知识模块：听力
