解析：[听力原文]
Heres a parable of two young children and a white- bearded wise man that lived alone in the
mountains. The man was highly respected by the local residents; however, the two young children


just shrugged it off . One day, the kids, intending to test this man, decided to play a joke on



him to see his so- called wisdom . This was their marvelous plan. They would catch a small bird,


put their hands behind their back and ask the man if the bird was dead or alive. If the wise man
says the bird is alive, they will crush it. If the wise man says it is dead, they can let it live.
So having captured the bird they went to the mountains to find the wise man. When they finally
came across him, one of the youngsters laughed and asked, Hi, wise man, can you tell us whether
the bird I am holding in my hands is dead or alive? To their surprise, the wise man just smiled


and responded, Young boys, the future of the bird is in your hands. There are many extremely


smart people around that can grasp many issues at once. Perhaps the guy sitting next to you always
mentions something that you didn think about or something that at the last minute made you change

your mind about the resolution of a case under discussion. So be ethical, be respectful, be smart


and it is your opportunity to really make a difference in the world .

are both sinking slowly. √
are both famous tourist resorts.
are both prosperous in economy.
are both full of sunshine throughout the whole year.
解析：[听力原文]

With its fast food restaurants, churches and strip malls, this city in southeast Florida looks
like much of America. But on a sunny day last month, city official Hector Castro talked about


its resemblance to Italys slowly sinking Venice . At some point in the future, some places may


be uninhabitable, said Castro. Maybe people could live in the top part of buildings. But what
do you do about the roads? These predictions about an underwater city may sound horrible, but
officials here say they are already changing infrastructure with climate change in mind . Recent.




storms hit the 4.4-square-mile city to such a degree that some homes were abandoned for the first
time. It was the kind of heavy rainfall that could become more frequent with climate change, even
though scientists say no weather event can be tied to warming temperatures. Simultaneously, the
citys freshwater supply is being contaminated by saltwater intrusion—a problem that was not




created by climate change, but that is likely being accelerated by it. So city officials are


spending some $$16 million to move the citys entire drinking supply to the west to get out of


the way of the ocean . It is a temporary fix for a problem that is projected to get worse as time


goes on. There may be limits on how much to protect the city from flooding and saltwater intrusion
with existing technologies. No one knows how long serious trouble will come—it could be 30 years
or so, or it could be later.

are indeed very crazy.
consider their dogs as their babies.
are, in fact, reasonable to some extent. √
can actually communicate with their dogs.
解析：[听力原文]
Crazed doggy parents will eagerly tell you that their dogs are able to understand and communicate,
and are surely capable of basic levels of human cognition. It turns out that these doggy parents


may not be so crazy after all . Dogs, like human babies, read our facial expressions. They don



just rely on verbal cues to ascertain what humans want. They also use eye contact to anticipate


our desires . In a recent study, the dogs were shown a video of a woman who would call them, stare
straight at them to get their attention, and then look down at an object beside her. Then the
dogs were shown a second video in which the woman would silently turn her head and stare at the
object without ever making direct eye contact. In most cases, the dogs followed the womans gaze
in the first video. In the second video, in which she made no direct eye contact, the dogs didn
follow her gaze. Similar experiments have been conducted with babies, and 6-month-old infants
exhibited the same behavior as the dogs. Experts think its a trait that the animals developed





as they worked and bonded with generations of humans. Dogs have evolved to sharing their lives


with humans, and they gained new skills that support their social interaction with humans . This


should reinforce that if we want our dogs attention, we should be clear about it. For those people
who talk to their dog in a baby-talk voice, they should keep it up.

What does the speaker say about crazed doggy parents?

[解析] 短文第一句提到，疯狂地狗主人会急切地说他们的狗能 与人类交流，并且能够达到人类认知的基本水平。事实
