Some eggs are quite round; some are kind of potato-shaped; and others are longer and pointy. A new study from Princeton University in the US suggests that the shape of the egg depends on how well and how fast the female birds fly. Mary Stoddard said, “It has not gone unnoticed that birds have evolved to lay eggs with shapes that are quite diverse in form.” Mary Stoddard and her colleagues mapped the shape of different eggs. They visited many egg farmers and interviewed 3,000 bird watchers. They looked at almost 50,000 eggs from 1,400 different kinds of birds. The researchers put the shape, length and height of the eggs into a computer database. They also looked at how oval the eggs were. The researchers found that the birds that lay the most-oval-shaped eggs were the best fliers. They also found that hummingbirds lay the most-oval-shaped eggs, and sea birds lay the pointiest eggs. 4．A 5．B 6．B 7．A 【原文】 Hello, I’m Ben, and welcome to the BBC weather report. Autumn is about to come to an end. Winter is set to bring very cold weather. This weekend we expect up to 10 centimeters of snow in some parts of northern England. Those in the south and in London will see about half of that. Temperatures will be as low as 8 degrees below zero. The snow will continue into next week. On Wednesday, a storm will bring strong winds and rain. Along with the melting(融化的) snow, this could mean flood warnings for central parts of the UK. The southwestern coast will be a different story, with warm weather moving up from the Atlantic. This will mean lots of sun with high temperatures of up to 13 degrees. However, looking at the monthly forecast, even this area will be expecting snow over the Christmas holiday. It looks like the whole of the UK will enjoy a white Christmas. Remember to keep warm and check on your neighbors, especially those who are old. 8．A 9．C 10．B 【原文】 M: Since starting out six years ago, our program has featured “book people” of different kinds. However, I’ve never interviewed a social media star before. In recent years, 34-year-old librarian Mychal’s love for his work has taken the world by storm. As a child, Mychal spent hours at the local library in Fairfield, California, calling it his “home-away-from-home”. After gaining a communications degree from the University of Phoenix, followed by a master’s in library information science from San Jose State University, the 23-year-old returned home and began working at the very library which had made him feel so welcome as a child. Mychal took to social media in the hope of encouraging his audience to visit their local libraries. Sharing book reviews, library experiences, and positive messages, he gradually gained a huge following and millions of views. Earlier this year, the pressures of fame became too much, and Mychal stepped back from his job to focus on his mental health. However, he continues to inspire others. He’s now a “resident librarian” for PBS, America’s biggest not-for-profit TV service. Mychal, welcome... 11．C 12．B 13．C 【原文】 M: IF is an eating pattern, which is a helpful way not only to lose or maintain weight but to relieve people’s depression. Studies suggest IF can improve heart health, control blood sugar and even reduce the rate of brain aging. There are various methods of practicing IF. One common approach is the 5:2 method. It means people eat normally five days a week, and have a smaller meal, about 500 calories per day, on the other two days. Another popular method is the 16+8 method. It means don’t eat anything for 16 hours in every 24 hours, which includes sleep time. And only eat within an eight-hour “window”. During the non-eating time, you can consume calories-free drinks including black coffee, green tea or soda. No foods, fruits or energy drinks are allowed. Early problems can involve hunger and mood changes, but most people find their bodies soon adjust to their new eating pattern. Now it’s expected to be practised by more and more people for it is simpler to follow than other diet plans. 14．B 15．C 16．C 【原文】 M: When I was 10 years old, my dad went broke and lost his business. I remember one day when I entered our house, I found all the furniture was gone, the car was gone, and even my toys were gone. On that bad day, it seemed like my whole life had changed. Some years later, my parents took me to a park, where I saw some children with no parents and no homes. That made a big impression. When my second movie was a hit around the world and suddenly, I became an international star, I decided to establish a charity organization for poor children, and I’ve donated half the profit from my last two films to it. The charity’s aim is to provide food and high-quality education for children here and throughout the world. So far, we’ve helped more than 5,000 kids and we hope to help many more. Ladies and gentlemen, I truly believe it is the duty of successful people to help those who are less lucky. 17．B 18．C 19．C 20．A 【原文】 Welcome to you all! I’m sure you’re going to have a great time with us here at Westford College! You’ll be in class every morning during the week.

On a sunny afternoon, Bridger and his sister went to a park for fun with their mom. Bridger was watching a movie with an iPad and his sister was playing with toys. Suddenly, a big dog jumped at his sister. Bridger rushed to protect his sister with his body but the dog bit him fiercely. Fortunately, a stranger, who was answering the phone nearby, found this accident and immediately drove away the dog. The sister had just slight hurt on her arms and legs when she fell down. However, Bridger was badly hurt on his cheeks, and he had to stay at the hospital for a few weeks. He later told his parents, “If anyone was going to suffer, it had to be me.” Many of Bridger’s friends visited him in the hospital after hearing the news and praised him as the bravest boy. And they volunteered to take care of him in turn. 4．A 5．B 6．A 7．B 【原文】 W: A dog’s way home is a family adventure movie. A young man named Lucas finds a puppy in a house where homeless cats and dogs live. The house’s owner wants to tear it down. Lucas takes the puppy home and names her Bella. They become best friends. However, Bella is a pit bull and this kind of dog isn’t allowed to live in Denver. Lucas decides to send Bella to his girl friend’s family 400 miles away. Bella arrives at this new house, but just wants to be with Lucas. So she runs away. After travelling 400 miles, Bella finally sees Lucas again. I watched this movie with my twelve year old son David, my ten year old daughter Melissa, and my sister Michelle on January eighteen. The kid seemed to love the movie very much while we were watching the movie. I heard them laughing and sometimes they looked worried. In one word, it a movie worth watching. 8．C 9．B 10．A 【原文】 W: Good evening, everyone. This is the final team meeting before we travel to Costa Rica. I’d like to tell you about the three different projects that we’re running there. Before I go on though, let me tell you that we will be leaving on the 6th of April and we will be coming back on the 20th instead of the 10th of July. I hope that won’t be a problem for anyone. Now, the first project includes cleaning up the beaches in the east of the country. This is home to some rare sea birds and we’re going there to do our best to protect them. The second project is in the capital, San José. There we will be working in the national zoo, planting trees to improve the animal’s natural homes. The final project is in one of the national parks. This is in an area of rainforest which was destroyed, and now the Costa Rican government wants to bring new life to it. We will be planting trees and recording the growth habits of the plants that we find there. Okay, has anyone got any questions on any of that? 11．B 12．A 13．B 【原文】 Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the city Zoo’s newest show, World of Darkness. Here is a new world of night animals for you. Not too many years ago, zoo visitors were unable to watch the behavior of night animals because these animals were active during the night and generally slept during the day when the zoo was open to visitors. But in the nineteen-sixties, zookeepers at the Bronx Zoo in New York City found a way to settle this problem and develop the system that we now use in our show. The animals living places are lit with white light at night. Then the animals think the white light is daylight, so of course they go to sleep during the day. Their living places are lit with red light, which makes the animals think it is at night, so that they will be active. On the other hand, the red light enables visitors to watch these animals going about their normal activities at night. So, just enjoy your visit to the World of Darkness and enjoy watching these amazing animals of the night. And remember, next month is the opening of World Down Under, a new s how of Australian animals. Are you looking forward to learning about Australian animals in person? Well, you are lucky. Just please come and join us for that event. 14．C 15．A 16．B 17．C 【原文】 W: My best friend Katy lives near a beautiful white sand beach. Her parents take us there every summer. The water is clean and refreshing. We have a lot of fun in the waves. Last year, there is an oil leak at Katy’s beach. We volunteered at the beach to clean up the oil and help the birds that were caught in the oil. When we arrived at the beach that day, the water was covered with oil and the white sand had turned black. It was an ugly sight. At first, the rescue workers would not let us on the beach. We had to watch from a distance. We watched as they put a huge machine in the water. The machine kept oil from spreading. Once they stopped the oil, we were allowed on the beach to help. Each of us was given a broom. We swept the oil into a pile. The worker took it away in big trucks. We all worked very hard that day to restore the beach. Once the oil was removed, the birds that had been caught in the oil had to be helped. The workers showed us how to remove the oil from their wings. Then the birds could fly away safely. We were very proud of ourselves that day. We helped save our beautiful beach and the birds who visit it. 18．B 19．C 20．A 【原文】 M: Good morning, ladies and gentlemen!

When I was ten years old, my dad went broke and lost his business. I remember one day when I entered our house, I found all the furniture was gone, the car was gone, and even my toys were gone. On that bad day, IT seemed like my whole life had changed. Some years later, my parents took me to a park where I saw some children with no parents and no homes. That made a big impression. When my second movie was a hit around the world, and suddenly I became an international star. I decided to establish a charity organization for poor children, and i've donated half the profit from my last two films to IT. The charity's aim is to provide food and high quality education for children here and throughout the world. So far, we've helped more than five thousand kids, and we hope to help many more. Ladies and gentlemen, I truly believe IT is the duty of successful people to help those who are less lucky. When I was ten years old, my dad went broke and lost his business.

Ladies and gentlemen, en, welcome to the city's oos newest show, world of darkness. Here is a new world of night animals to you. Not too many years ago, the zoo visitors were unable to watch the behavior of night animals because these animals were active during the night and generally slept during the day when the zoo was open to visitors. But in the ninety sixties, zookeepers at the bronx zoo in new york city found a way to settle this problem and developed the system that we now use in our show. The animals living places are lit with White light at night. Then the animals think the White light is daylight, so of course they go to sleep during the day. Their living places are lit with red light, which makes the animals think IT is at night, so that they will be active. On the other hand, the red light enables visitors to watch these animals going about the Normal activities at night. So just enjoy your visit to the world of darkness and enjoy watching these amazing animals of the night. And remember, next month is the opening of world down under a new show of australian animals. Are you looking forward to learning about australian animals in person? Well, you are lucky. Just please come and join us for that event.

The water is clean and refreshing. We have a lot of fun in the waves. Last year there was an oil ally. Get katy's beach. We volunteered at the beach to clean up the oil and helped birds that were caught in the oil. When we arrived at the beach that day, the water was covered with oil and the White sand had turned black. IT was an ugly site. At first, the rescue workers would not let us on the beach. We had to watch from a distance. We watched as they put a huge machine in the water. The machine kept the oil from spreading. Once they stopped the oil, we were allowed on the beach to help. Each of us was given a broom. We swept the oil into a pile. The workers took IT away in big trucks. We all worked very hard that day to restore the beach. Once the oil was removed, the birds that had been caught in the oil had to be helped. The workers showed us how to remove the oil from their wings, then the birds could fly away to safety. We were very proud of ourselves that day. We helped to save our beautiful beach and the birds who visited IT. My best friend, kate, lives near a beautiful White sand beach.
