聽力原文1：

Passage One There are many commonly held beliefs about eye glasses and eye sight. For instance, someone believes that wearing glasses too soon weakens the eyes, but there is no evidence to show that the eye structure is changed by wearing eye glasses at young age. Wearing the wrong glasses, however, can prove harmful. Study shows that for adult, there is no danger, but children can develop lost vision if they have glasses inappropriate for their eyes. We have all heard about how eye sights get bad. Most people believe that reading in dim light causes poor eye sight, but that’s untrue. Too little light makes the eyes work harder, so they do get tired on strained. Eye strain also results from reading a lot. Reading in bed, and watching too much TV. However, although eye strain may cause some pain or headaches, it does not permanently damage eyesight. Another myth about eyes is that they can be replaced or transferred from one person to another. There are close to 1 million nerve fibers (神經纖維)that connect the eye ball to brain. As if yet, it is impossible to attach them all in a new person. Only certain parts of the eye can be replaced. But if we keep clearing up the myths, and learn more about the eyes, a full transplant can be may be possible。

26. What the speaker want to tell us about eye sight?

27. What do studies show about wearing glassed?

28. What do we learn about eye transplanting from the talk?

Passage 2

When people care for an elderly relative, they often do not use available community services, such as adult day care centers. If the care givers are adult children, they are more likely to use such services, especially because they often have jobs and other responsibilities. In contrast, a spouse, usually the wife, is much less likely to use support services or to put the dependent person in a nursing home. Social workers discover that the wife normally tries to take care of her husband herself for as long as she can in order not to use up their life savings. Researchers have found that caring for the elderly can be a very positive experience. The elderly appreciated the care and attention they received. They were affectionate and corporative. However, even when care giving is satisfying, it is hard work. Social workers and experts on aging offer care givers and potential care givers help when arranging for the care of an elderly relative. One consideration is to ask parents what they want before they become sick or dependent. Perhaps they prefer going into a nursing home can select one in advance. On the other hand, they may want to live with their adult children. Care givers must also learn to state their needs and opinions clearly and ask for help from others especially brothers and sisters. Brothers and sisters are often willing to help but they may not know what to do。

Question 29 to 31 are based on the passage you have just heard。

Q29. Why are adult children more likely to use community services to help care for elderly parents?

Q30. Why are most wives unwilling to put their dependent husbands into nursing homes?

Q31. According to the passage, what must care givers learn to do?

聽力篇章2解析

本次考試篇章2 比較簡單，講述瞭如何更好照顧老人的社會類話題，關鍵詞ageing, nursing , positive, responsibilities 等都是昂立課堂上講述的內容。 如何更好的照顧老人，是妻子的任勞任怨，還是依靠日趨完善的社區服務？孩子和妻子不能達成共識。雖然各有利弊，最好還是徵求一下老人本人的建議，在子女間達成協議，以能更好贍養老者。問題從孩子和妻子的角度各出一題，最後一題爲社會類文章的解決方案。所以看到了關鍵詞adult children和wives，care for ，以及話題轉折的turn 如：in contrast，以及社會專家等研究發現的結果。等就可以作答。 建議今後繼續關注社會老齡化話題，積累相關詞彙，另外一定要注意話題轉折的turn 和研究專家的研究發現等。

Passage Three

Questions 32 to 35 are based on the passage you have just heard。

Since a union representative visited our company to inform us about our rights and protections. My coworkers have been worrying about health conditions and complaining about safety hazards in the workplace. Several of the employees in the computer department, for example, claim to be developing vision problems from having to stare at a video display terminal for about 7 hours a day. The supervisor of the laboratory is beginning to get headaches and dizzy spells because she says it’s dangerous to breathe some of the chemical smoke there. An X-rays technician is refusing to do her job until the firm agrees to replace its out-dated equipment. She insists that it’s exposing workers to unnecessarily high doses of radiation. She thinks that she may have to contact the Occupational Safety and Health Administration and asked that government agency to inspect the department. I’ve heard that at a factory in the area two pregnant women who were working with paint requested a transfer to a safer department, because they wanted to prevent damage to their unborn babies. The supervisor of personnel refused the request. In another firm the workers were constantly complaining about the malfunctioning heating system, but the owners was too busy or too mean to do anything about it. Finally, they all met an agree to wear ski-clothing to work the next day. The owner was too embarrassed to talk to his employees. But he had the heating system replaced right away。

Questions 32- 35 are based on the passage you have just heard。

32 What does the talk focus on?

33 What did the X-ray technician ask her company to do?

34 What does the speaker say about the two pregnant women working with paint?
