Each statement contains information given in one of the paragraphs. Identify the paragraph from which the information is derived. You may choose a paragraph more than once. Each paragraph is marked with a letter. Answer the questions by marking the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 2. 47、根據(jù)以下資料，回答47-56題： Wbrld Must Adapt to Unknown Climate Future A．There is still great uncertainty about the impacts of climate change，according to the latest report from the Intefgovernmental Panel on Climate Change，released today．So if we are to survive and prosper, rather than trying to fend off specific threats like cyclones，we must build flexible and resilient(有彈性的)societies． B．Today’s report is the second of three instalments(分期連載)of the IPCC’s fifth assessment of climate change．The first instalment，released last year,covered the physical science of climate change．It stated with increased certainty that climate change is happenin9，and that it is the result of humanity’s greenhouse gas emissions．The new report focuses on the impacts of climate change and how to adapt to them．The third instalment，on how to cut greenhouse gas emissions，comes out in April． C．The latest report backs off from some of the predictions made in the previous IPCC report，in 2007．During the final editing process．the authors also retreated from many of the more confident projections from the final draft，leaked last year．The IPCC now says it often cannot predict which specific impacts of climate change—such as droughts，storms or floods——will hit particular places． D．Instead，the IPCC focuses on how people call adapt in the face of uncertainty,arguing that we must become resilient against diverse changes in the climate．“The natural human tendency is to want things to be clear and simple．”says the report’s co-chair Chris Field of the Carnegie Institution for Science in Stanford，Califomia．“And one of the messages that doesn’t just come from the IPCC，it comes from history,is that the future doesn’t ever turn out the way you think it will be．”That means，F(xiàn)ield adds，that‘'being prepared for a wide range of possible futures is iust always smart”． E.Here New Scientist breaks down what is new in the report，and what it means for humanity’s efforts to cope with a changing climate．A companion article，“How climate change will affect where you live”，highlights some of the key impacts that different regions are facing．What has changed in the new IPCC report? F.In essence，the predictions are intentionally vaguer．Much of the firlner language from the 2007 report about exactly what kind of weather to expect，and how changes witl affect people，has been replaced with more cautious statements．The scale and timing of many regional impacts，and even the form of some，now appear uncertain． G.For example，the 2007 report predicted that the intensity of cyclones over Asia would increase by 10to 20 per cent．The new report makes no such claim．Similarly,the last report estimated that climate change would force up to a quarter of a billion Africans into water shortage by the end of this decade．The new report avoids using such firm numbers． H.The report has even watered down many of the more confident predictions that appeared in the lcaked drafts．References to“hundreds of millions”of people being affected by rising sea levels have been removed from the summary,as have statements about the impact of warmer temperatures on crops．“I think it's gone back a bit，”says Jean Palutikof of Griffith University in Brisbane，Queensland，Australia，who worked on the 2007 report．“That may be a good thing．In the fourth [climate assessment]we tried to do things that weren’t really possible and the fifth has sort of rebalanced the whole thing．” So do we know less than we did before? I.Not really,says Andy Pitman of the University of New South Wales in Sydney,Australia．It is just more rigorous language．“Pointing to the sign of the change，rather than the precise magnitude of the change，is scientifically more defensible，”he says． J.We also know more about what we don’t know,says David Karoly at the University of Melbourne．“There is now a better understanding of uncertainties in regional climate proj ections at decadal timescales(時標(biāo))．” Are we less confident about all the impacts of climate change? K.Not quite．There are still plenty of confident predictions of impacts in the reponv—at least in the draft chapters that were lcaked last year,and which are expected to be roughly the same when they are released later this week．These include more rain in parts ofAfrica，more heatwaves in southem Europe，and more frequent droughts in Australia(see“How climate change will affect where you live”)．It also remains clear that the seas are rising．How do we prepare in cases in which there is low confidence about the effects of climate change? L.That’s exactly what this report deals with．In many cases，the uncertainty is a matter of magnitude，so the choices are not hard．“It doesn’t really matter if the car hits the wall at 70 or 80 kilometres an hour,”says Karoly．“You should still wear your seat belt．”So when it comes to sea．1evel rise or heatwaves，the uncertainty does not change what we need to do：build sea walls，use efficient cooling and so forth． M.But in some cases——such as African rainfall，which could go up or down——the models are not giving us great advice．so all we know is that things will change．“We are not certain about the precise nature of regional change，but we are absolutely certain there are going to be profound changes in many regions，”says Pitman．Even then，there are things we can do that will always help．A big one is getting people out of poverty．The report says poverty makes other impacts worse and many suggested adaptations are about alleviating it．The IPCC suggests giving disadvantaged groups more of a voice，helping them move when they need to and strengthening social safety nets． N.What’s more，all countries should diversify their economies，rather than relying on a few main sources of income that could flood or blow ovel Countries should also find ways to become less vulnerable to the current climate variability．That means improving the way they govem resources like water,the report says． O.In short，we must become more resilient．That would be wise even if the climate wa stable．Our current infrastructure often cannot deal with the current climate，says Karoly,pointing to events like the recent UK floods．“We don’t have a resilient system now,even in extremely well developed countries．” 注意：此部分試題請?jiān)诖痤}卡2上作答。
Focusing on the clue of climate change instead of the severity of climate effects is scientifically more reasonable．
48、 IPCC’s new report has removed some of the predictions that appeared in the former one released in2007．
49、 One of the lessons both IPCC and history has taught us is that future never appears as you expect it to be．
50、 The IPCC’s latest report has weakened many firmer projections written in the leaked drafts．
51、 The first of IPCC’s three instalments has focused on the current climate conditions and the main reason for those conditions．
52、 The most important thing for us to do is to get people rich．
53、 Sometimes the uncertainty is just about the extent of climate effects，thus the choices．of what we should doisquite easy．
54、 Countries must make their economies varied and improve the way of controlling the recourses in order to beRer deal with climate change．
55、 The new IPCC report has replaced some more confident statements from the 2007 report with more careful expressions．
56、 There are still many of firm statements about the climate effects in the new report，which are generally the same as they were in the draft chapters． Section C Directions: There are 2 passages in this section. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A), B), C) and D). You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 2 with a single line through the centre. 57、根據(jù)以下資料，回答57-66題： Quesaons 56 to60 are based on thefollowingpassage． When it comes to noise cancelling headphones，sometimes the best offense is a good defense．While there are plenty of active noise cancelling headphones that use a complex(and pricey)method to block distracting sounds，there are simpler ways．How about headphones with a snug fit that simply plug up your ear canals? This process is called passive isolation．It’s not uncommon for a consumer faced with the choice between the descriptors“passive”and“active”to choose the stronger-sounding technology,but great passive isolation can be just as effective and cost a lot less． The AKG K323 XS headphones($59 MSRP)are just such a pair．Sleek and portable，they produce a huge sound marked with prominent bass，supportive mids，and very healthy highs．They’re also the best passive isolators that we’ve tested in a long time．Like most in-ears，the XS headphones are quite small and simply designed，available in white，blue，orange．yellow,green—the list goes on．The Android version packs a one-button universal remote，and there’s also a three．button version for iOS．The XS’s teeny form factor,featherweight frame，and smalI carry case are additional on．the．go perks(特權(quán)享受)． The cable is simple，but of decent quality,It’s shorter than most cords—just 3．5 feet—which may or may not be desirable depending on how you use them． Ears come in all different shapes．a(chǎn)nd so do the speaker covers．AKG includes four different options：extra small，small，medium，and large． In the audio test labs．these AKGs proved to be a straight．A student．Thanks to moderate bass notes and very prominent middle and high notes，music sounds both full and balanced．From classical，to jazz，to hip hop，every genre benefits from this even-handed sound quality．Listeners will enjoy big，thumping bass that doesn’t obscure subtler insmunents like violin and piano．These tiny in．ears aced distortion tests，to—you won’t find one drop of unwanted or distorted sound． The K323 XS really shines．even in a crowded market．It’s hard to pick which glowin attribute to praise first：The massive，well．balanced sound stage?The distortion．free listening experience?The$59 price tag?The monster isolation?The tiny,portable design?These AKGs are simply aces(王牌)，and online sale prices of around$40 kick everything up another notch(等級)． 注意：此部分試題請?jiān)诖痤}卡2上作答。 What can you learn from the first two paragraphs?

62、 根據(jù)以下資料，回答62-71題： Questions 61 to 65 are based on thefollowingpassage． Milleunials(千禧一代)have a reputation for being pretty savvy(聰慧的)with technology and social media——not to mention their finances----一but today’s young adults are clueless when it comes to knowledge of their credit． A new study conducted by the Consumer Federation of America and VantageScore Solutions finds that 18-34 year-olds lag behind older Americans on credit knowledge．Not that older generations are whiz kids when it comes to credit——just over 40％of consumers surveyed even know what their credit score measures，for instance—but millennials have the dubious distinction(區(qū)別)of being even less-informed than other age groups． Only around half of milleunials have ever even bothered to order a free copy of their credit report，as compared to about three．quarters of older people surveyed． They’re more likely to think age plays a role in credit scoring，that the government keeps track of consumer credit data and that credit repair services can legitimately fix your credit(by and large，they Can’t)．And while most of them know that a lot of credit card debt，declaring bankruptcy and missing payments can affect their credit，only 6％got everything fight when they picked from a list of factors that could potentially impact their score． Young adults have a pretty poor grasp on how far-reaching this impact is：Only 1 8 percent knew that utility companies，cell phone carders，mortgage lenders and home insurers，landlords and credit card companies can all use a consumer’s credit when doing business with them． They’re also unaware of the financial consequences of bad credit．just 1 5％knew that a bad credit score could cost more than$5，000 in higher interest payments over the life of a car loan． One factor that seems to make a difference in how much credit knowledge people have is whether or not．mey’ve actually goRen their free credit report(if you’re one of the many who haven’t，you can do so at annualcreditreport．corn)．Interestingly, people who got their credit reports knew more than those who had just gotten their credit scores． “Those who are interested in their credit reports are probably also interested in their credit scores．”CFA executive director Stephen Brobeck says in a statement．“It’s so easy to go online and get your free reports that this action likely motivates people to learn more about credit scores．” 注意：此部分試題請?jiān)诖痤}卡2上作答。． What does the word“whiz kids”mean(Line 3．Para．2)?

Each statement contains information given in one of the paragraphs. Identify the paragraph from which the information is derived. You may choose a paragraph more than once. Each paragraph is marked with a letter. Answer the questions by marking the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 2. 47、根據(jù)以下資料，回答47-56題： Wbrld Must Adapt to Unknown Climate Future A．There is still great uncertainty about the impacts of climate change，according to the latest report from the Intefgovernmental Panel on Climate Change，released today．So if we are to survive and prosper, rather than trying to fend off specific threats like cyclones，we must build flexible and resilient(有彈性的)societies． B．Today’s report is the second of three instalments(分期連載)of the IPCC’s fifth assessment of climate change．The first instalment，released last year,covered the physical science of climate change．It stated with increased certainty that climate change is happenin9，and that it is the result of humanity’s greenhouse gas emissions．The new report focuses on the impacts of climate change and how to adapt to them．The third instalment，on how to cut greenhouse gas emissions，comes out in April． C．The latest report backs off from some of the predictions made in the previous IPCC report，in 2007．During the final editing process．the authors also retreated from many of the more confident projections from the final draft，leaked last year．The IPCC now says it often cannot predict which specific impacts of climate change—such as droughts，storms or floods——will hit particular places． D．Instead，the IPCC focuses on how people call adapt in the face of uncertainty,arguing that we must become resilient against diverse changes in the climate．“The natural human tendency is to want things to be clear and simple．”says the report’s co-chair Chris Field of the Carnegie Institution for Science in Stanford，Califomia．“And one of the messages that doesn’t just come from the IPCC，it comes from history,is that the future doesn’t ever turn out the way you think it will be．”That means，F(xiàn)ield adds，that‘'being prepared for a wide range of possible futures is iust always smart”． E.Here New Scientist breaks down what is new in the report，and what it means for humanity’s efforts to cope with a changing climate．A companion article，“How climate change will affect where you live”，highlights some of the key impacts that different regions are facing．What has changed in the new IPCC report? F.In essence，the predictions are intentionally vaguer．Much of the firlner language from the 2007 report about exactly what kind of weather to expect，and how changes witl affect people，has been replaced with more cautious statements．The scale and timing of many regional impacts，and even the form of some，now appear uncertain． G.For example，the 2007 report predicted that the intensity of cyclones over Asia would increase by 10to 20 per cent．The new report makes no such claim．Similarly,the last report estimated that climate change would force up to a quarter of a billion Africans into water shortage by the end of this decade．The new report avoids using such firm numbers． H.The report has even watered down many of the more confident predictions that appeared in the lcaked drafts．References to“hundreds of millions”of people being affected by rising sea levels have been removed from the summary,as have statements about the impact of warmer temperatures on crops．“I think it's gone back a bit，”says Jean Palutikof of Griffith University in Brisbane，Queensland，Australia，who worked on the 2007 report．“That may be a good thing．In the fourth [climate assessment]we tried to do things that weren’t really possible and the fifth has sort of rebalanced the whole thing．” So do we know less than we did before? I.Not really,says Andy Pitman of the University of New South Wales in Sydney,Australia．It is just more rigorous language．“Pointing to the sign of the change，rather than the precise magnitude of the change，is scientifically more defensible，”he says． J.We also know more about what we don’t know,says David Karoly at the University of Melbourne．“There is now a better understanding of uncertainties in regional climate proj ections at decadal timescales(時標(biāo))．” Are we less confident about all the impacts of climate change? K.Not quite．There are still plenty of confident predictions of impacts in the reponv—at least in the draft chapters that were lcaked last year,and which are expected to be roughly the same when they are released later this week．These include more rain in parts ofAfrica，more heatwaves in southem Europe，and more frequent droughts in Australia(see“How climate change will affect where you live”)．It also remains clear that the seas are rising．How do we prepare in cases in which there is low confidence about the effects of climate change? L.That’s exactly what this report deals with．In many cases，the uncertainty is a matter of magnitude，so the choices are not hard．“It doesn’t really matter if the car hits the wall at 70 or 80 kilometres an hour,”says Karoly．“You should still wear your seat belt．”So when it comes to sea．1evel rise or heatwaves，the uncertainty does not change what we need to do：build sea walls，use efficient cooling and so forth． M.But in some cases——such as African rainfall，which could go up or down——the models are not giving us great advice．so all we know is that things will change．“We are not certain about the precise nature of regional change，but we are absolutely certain there are going to be profound changes in many regions，”says Pitman．Even then，there are things we can do that will always help．A big one is getting people out of poverty．The report says poverty makes other impacts worse and many suggested adaptations are about alleviating it．The IPCC suggests giving disadvantaged groups more of a voice，helping them move when they need to and strengthening social safety nets． N.What’s more，all countries should diversify their economies，rather than relying on a few main sources of income that could flood or blow ovel Countries should also find ways to become less vulnerable to the current climate variability．That means improving the way they govem resources like water,the report says． O.In short，we must become more resilient．That would be wise even if the climate wa stable．Our current infrastructure often cannot deal with the current climate，says Karoly,pointing to events like the recent UK floods．“We don’t have a resilient system now,even in extremely well developed countries．” 注意：此部分試題請?jiān)诖痤}卡2上作答。
Focusing on the clue of climate change instead of the severity of climate effects is scientifically more reasonable．
48、 IPCC’s new report has removed some of the predictions that appeared in the former one released in2007．
49、 One of the lessons both IPCC and history has taught us is that future never appears as you expect it to be．
50、 The IPCC’s latest report has weakened many firmer projections written in the leaked drafts．
51、 The first of IPCC’s three instalments has focused on the current climate conditions and the main reason for those conditions．
52、 The most important thing for us to do is to get people rich．
53、 Sometimes the uncertainty is just about the extent of climate effects，thus the choices．of what we should doisquite easy．
54、 Countries must make their economies varied and improve the way of controlling the recourses in order to beRer deal with climate change．
55、 The new IPCC report has replaced some more confident statements from the 2007 report with more careful expressions．
56、 There are still many of firm statements about the climate effects in the new report，which are generally the same as they were in the draft chapters． Section C Directions: There are 2 passages in this section. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A), B), C) and D). You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 2 with a single line through the centre. 57、根據(jù)以下資料，回答57-66題： Quesaons 56 to60 are based on thefollowingpassage． When it comes to noise cancelling headphones，sometimes the best offense is a good defense．While there are plenty of active noise cancelling headphones that use a complex(and pricey)method to block distracting sounds，there are simpler ways．How about headphones with a snug fit that simply plug up your ear canals? This process is called passive isolation．It’s not uncommon for a consumer faced with the choice between the descriptors“passive”and“active”to choose the stronger-sounding technology,but great passive isolation can be just as effective and cost a lot less． The AKG K323 XS headphones($59 MSRP)are just such a pair．Sleek and portable，they produce a huge sound marked with prominent bass，supportive mids，and very healthy highs．They’re also the best passive isolators that we’ve tested in a long time．Like most in-ears，the XS headphones are quite small and simply designed，available in white，blue，orange．yellow,green—the list goes on．The Android version packs a one-button universal remote，and there’s also a three．button version for iOS．The XS’s teeny form factor,featherweight frame，and smalI carry case are additional on．the．go perks(特權(quán)享受)． The cable is simple，but of decent quality,It’s shorter than most cords—just 3．5 feet—which may or may not be desirable depending on how you use them． Ears come in all different shapes．a(chǎn)nd so do the speaker covers．AKG includes four different options：extra small，small，medium，and large． In the audio test labs．these AKGs proved to be a straight．A student．Thanks to moderate bass notes and very prominent middle and high notes，music sounds both full and balanced．From classical，to jazz，to hip hop，every genre benefits from this even-handed sound quality．Listeners will enjoy big，thumping bass that doesn’t obscure subtler insmunents like violin and piano．These tiny in．ears aced distortion tests，to—you won’t find one drop of unwanted or distorted sound． The K323 XS really shines．even in a crowded market．It’s hard to pick which glowin attribute to praise first：The massive，well．balanced sound stage?The distortion．free listening experience?The$59 price tag?The monster isolation?The tiny,portable design?These AKGs are simply aces(王牌)，and online sale prices of around$40 kick everything up another notch(等級)． 注意：此部分試題請?jiān)诖痤}卡2上作答。 What can you learn from the first two paragraphs?

62、 根據(jù)以下資料，回答62-71題： Questions 61 to 65 are based on thefollowingpassage． Milleunials(千禧一代)have a reputation for being pretty savvy(聰慧的)with technology and social media——not to mention their finances----一but today’s young adults are clueless when it comes to knowledge of their credit． A new study conducted by the Consumer Federation of America and VantageScore Solutions finds that 18-34 year-olds lag behind older Americans on credit knowledge．Not that older generations are whiz kids when it comes to credit——just over 40％of consumers surveyed even know what their credit score measures，for instance—but millennials have the dubious distinction(區(qū)別)of being even less-informed than other age groups． Only around half of milleunials have ever even bothered to order a free copy of their credit report，as compared to about three．quarters of older people surveyed． They’re more likely to think age plays a role in credit scoring，that the government keeps track of consumer credit data and that credit repair services can legitimately fix your credit(by and large，they Can’t)．And while most of them know that a lot of credit card debt，declaring bankruptcy and missing payments can affect their credit，only 6％got everything fight when they picked from a list of factors that could potentially impact their score． Young adults have a pretty poor grasp on how far-reaching this impact is：Only 1 8 percent knew that utility companies，cell phone carders，mortgage lenders and home insurers，landlords and credit card companies can all use a consumer’s credit when doing business with them． They’re also unaware of the financial consequences of bad credit．just 1 5％knew that a bad credit score could cost more than$5，000 in higher interest payments over the life of a car loan． One factor that seems to make a difference in how much credit knowledge people have is whether or not．mey’ve actually goRen their free credit report(if you’re one of the many who haven’t，you can do so at annualcreditreport．corn)．Interestingly, people who got their credit reports knew more than those who had just gotten their credit scores． “Those who are interested in their credit reports are probably also interested in their credit scores．”CFA executive director Stephen Brobeck says in a statement．“It’s so easy to go online and get your free reports that this action likely motivates people to learn more about credit scores．” 注意：此部分試題請?jiān)诖痤}卡2上作答。． What does the word“whiz kids”mean(Line 3．Para．2)?
