I'm up at six, and by seven, I'm sitting in front of my computer ready to go. Maybe you should try this approach. Me? Up at 06:00? You've gotta be joking. I'd be better off staying up all night.

I'm not really sure if it does or not. Are you sure we got on the right bus? I've never taken this bus, but I think it's the right one. This place doesn't look like Richmond. That's true. And we have been on this bus for a while. Read one of the street signs or something. Yikes. Lexington? That's the last time I'm trusting you with the transportation. My bad. But at least we know the right bus to take us back. Question 25. Which is true about the speakers? Question 26. What does the man mean when he says, my bad? For

Question 26. What does the man mean when he says, my bad? For questions twenty seven and twenty eight, you'll listen to a conversation. Attention, please. All passengers are requested to leave the station immediately. Did you hear that announcement? Sorry. I didn't. You know, I seldom pay attention to the announcements. What's up? I don't know. The announcement asked everyone to leave the station immediately. Do you think there is something seriously wrong? Do you think there could be a bomb in the station? Remember last week, we saw that backpack on the bench? It didn't seem to belong to anyone. It could have been a bomb. Maybe the same thing happened today. Well, I think you're just upset with all the bad things going on in the news lately. I'm sure it's nothing serious. I read in the newspaper last week that the railway administration was going to be holding safety drills in the coming weeks. We'll probably get outside and see the fire department conducting a drill.

中文翻譯

第 26 題。男子說 "my bad" 是什麼意思？第 27 題與第 28 題，您將聆聽一段對話。請注意，請所有旅客立刻離開車站。你聽到剛才的廣播了嗎？抱歉，我沒聽到。你知道的，我很少注意廣播。怎麼了嗎？我不知道。廣播要求大家立刻離開車站。你覺得是不是出了什麼嚴重的大事？你覺得車站裡可能會有炸彈嗎？還記得上星期我們在長椅上看到的那個背包嗎？看起來不屬於任何人。那可能就是個炸彈，說不定今天也發生了同樣的事。這個嘛，我覺得你只是因為最近新聞上那些不好的消息而感到焦慮。我相信沒什麼嚴重的。我上週在報紙上看過，鐵路局在接下來的幾週會舉行安全演習。我們走到外面大概就會看到消防隊在進行演練了。

Question 30. How long is the lunch break? The sample question is based on the following report. Wonderland is perhaps the most popular vacation spot for families. It attracts tourists and provides jobs for the local residents in its hotels and shopping malls. But now it is called the tragic Kingdom. The neighbors suffer from traffic jams that last for miles, and it takes hours to park the car. Empty cans, bottles, and garbage are everywhere. The whole place is becoming polluted. Most of all, prices of goods are skyrocketing. People pay more for living here. Questions thirty one and thirty two are based on the following report. Butterflies are beautiful insects. If you want to have them in your garden, here's what you have to do. First, to attract butterflies to your garden, you will need to plant the right flowers. Like bees, adult butterflies feed on a wide variety of wild and garden flowers, particularly those growing in warm places. So simply grow suitable flowers from March until the end of the butterfly season in late October or early November. Additionally, you should leave fallen fruit under fruit trees. Butterflies enjoy feeding on fruit juices and fallen pears, plums, and apples. Also, if possible, avoid using chemicals in your garden, especially on or near plants that are flowering. So plant the right flowers, leave fallen fruit on the ground, and avoid using chemicals. Then sit back, relax, and enjoy the delightful sight of butterflies in your garden. Questions thirty three and thirty four are based on the following talk. When you go to the airport, you need to check-in first. To do so, you must find your airline and go to the check-in desk. For international flights, you are required to present your passport. But for domestic flights, only a photo ID is required. When you booked your ticket, you probably got a confirmation number. You should have the number ready too, just in case. The airline agent will ask if you want to check-in your luggage or if you only have carry on luggage. You must check-in the large luggage, but the smaller suitcases and bags can be carried onto the plane. After the agent gives you your boarding pass, you can then go through security and head to your departure gate until it is time to board. Questions thirty five and thirty six are based on the following talk. Lemonade Day is a free, fun, and practical learning program. It teaches children how to start, own, and operate their own business, a lemonade stand. It began in Houston, Texas in the year 2007 with only 2,700 kids. In 2011, over a 120,000 kids all across America participated. Children who join the program receive a workbook that includes the 14 lessons of Lemonade Day. They also get a video that explains the program. The kids learn how to set profit making goals, serve customers, and create a budget. From the program, kids learn to solve problems and gain more confidence in themselves. The kids may keep all the money they make, but they are encouraged to spend some, save some, and share some. Questions thirty seven and thirty eight are based on the following talk. My doctor ordered me to eat less and come up with an exercise plan. Because I've never monitored what I eat and how much exercise I get, I turned to modern technology for help. To find out how much exercise I was getting, I bought a device called fitness tracker. It helps me keep track of my level of fitness. I wear it on my wrist, and then as I move, it measures my activity. It works quite well, but it isn't as comfortable as a wristwatch. I also bought an app for my smartphone to calculate how many calories I've been eating. It works pretty well, and I'm easily able to enter the necessary information in just a minute or two every day. Have I lost weight? Yes. I have. My doctor is happy with me, and I think the technology really helps. Questions thirty nine and forty are based on the following report. The American Dialect Society was founded in 1889 to study the English language as it is spoken in North America. The organization was set up as part of an effort to create a comprehensive American dialect dictionary. This, however, took over a century. The dictionary, the Dictionary of American Regional English, was published in five volumes between 1985 and 2012 and is a record of American English as it is spoken in The United States. It contains words, phrases, and pronunciations that vary from one part of the country to another. But these days perhaps, the American dialect society is most famous for its word of the year. Every year since 1991, it has selected the word or phrase which it considers most important for that specific year. For example, app was the word of the year in 2010, occupy in 2011, and hashtag in 2012. This is the end of the listening comprehension test.

中文翻譯

第 30 題：午休時間有多長？ 範例題是根據以下報導。 Wonderland（奇幻樂園）也許是最受家庭歡迎的度假勝地。它吸引遊客，並在當地的飯店和購物中心為居民提供工作機會。但現在它被稱為「悲劇王國」。附近居民飽受長達數英里的交通堵塞之苦，而且停車要花上好幾個小時。到處都是空罐子、瓶子和垃圾，整個地方正變得受到污染。最重要的是，物價飛漲，居民在這裡的生活開銷變得更高。 第 31 題和第 32 題是根據以下報導。 蝴蝶是美麗的昆蟲。如果你想在花園裡看到牠們，以下是你需要做的事。首先，為了將蝴蝶吸引到你的花園，你需要種植合適的花卉。就像蜜蜂一樣，成蝶以各種野花和庭園花卉為食，尤其是那些生長在溫暖地方的花朵。因此，只需從三月開始種植合適的花卉，一直到十月底或十一月初的蝴蝶季節結束。此外，你應該把落果留在果樹下。蝴蝶喜歡吸食果汁，以及掉落的梨子、李子和蘋果。另外，如果可能的話，避免在花園中使用化學藥劑，特別是在開花植物上或其附近。所以，種植合適的花，將落果留在地上，並避免使用化學藥劑。然後坐下來、放鬆，享受花園中蝴蝶翩翩起舞的愉悅景象。 第 33 題和第 34 題是根據以下演講。 當你前往機場時，你需要先辦理登機手續。為此，你必須找到你的航空公司並前往登機櫃檯。搭乘國際航班時，你必須出示護護。但對於國內航班，只需要有照片的身份證件。當你訂票時，你可能會拿到一個確認碼。你最好也準備好這個號碼，以防萬一。航空公司地勤人員會詢問你是否要託運行李，或者你是否只有隨身行李。你必須託運大型行李，但較小的行李箱和包包可以隨身攜帶上飛機。在地勤人員給你登機證後，你就可以通過安檢並前往登機門，直到登機時間。 第 35 題和第 36 題是根據以下演講。 「檸檬汁日」（Lemonade Day）是一個免費、有趣且實用的學習計畫。它教導孩子們如何創業、擁有並經營自己的事業——一個檸檬汁攤位。這項活動於 2007 年在德州休士頓發起，當時僅有 2,700 名孩童參與。到了 2011 年，全美有超過 120,000 名孩童參與。加入該計畫的孩子會收到一本工作手冊，其中包含「檸檬汁日」的 14 堂課程。他們還會獲得一段說明該計畫的影片。孩子們學習如何設定獲利目標、服務顧客以及編列預算。透過這個計畫，孩子們學習解決問題，並獲得更多自信。孩子們可以保留他們賺到的所有錢，但我們鼓勵他們花一部分、存一部分，並分享一部分。 第 37 題和第 38 題是根據以下演講。 我的醫生命令我少吃一點，並制定一個運動計畫。因為我從未記錄過自己的飲食和運動量，所以我尋求現代科技的協助。為了解自己的運動量，我買了一個叫做健身追蹤器的裝置。它能幫助我記錄我的健身水平。我把它戴在手腕上，當我移動時，它就會測量我的活動量。它運作得相當好，但戴起來不像手錶那麼舒服。我還在智慧型手機上買了一個應用程式，用來計算我攝取了多少卡路里。它用起來很順手，我每天只需花一兩分鐘就能輕鬆輸入必要的資訊。我有瘦下來嗎？是的，我有。我的醫生對我很滿意，而且我認為這項科技真的很有幫助。 第 39 題和第 40 題是根據以下報導。 美國方言學會成立於 1889 年，旨在研究北美所使用的英語。該機構的成立是為了編纂一部全面的美國方言字典所做努力的一部分。然而，這項工作耗費了一個多世紀的時間。這部名為《美國區域英語字典》的字典在 1985 年至 2012 年間分五卷出版，記錄了美國本土所使用的美式英語。它收錄了因地區而異的單字、片語和發音。但如今，美國方言學會或許以其評選的「年度代表詞彙」最為聞名。自 1991 年以來，該學會每年都會選出其認為對該年份最重要的單字或片語。例如，「app」（應用程式）是 2010 年的年度詞彙，「occupy」（佔領）是 2011 年的年度詞彙，而「hashtag」（主題標籤）則是 2012 年的年度詞彙。 聽力測驗結束。

第三十五與三十六題是根據以下這段談話。「檸檬汁日」是一項免費、有趣且實用的學習計畫。它教導孩子們如何創立、擁有並經營自己的事業——一個檸檬汁攤位。該活動於 2007 年在德州休士頓發起，當時只有 2,700 名孩童參與。到了 2011 年，全美有超過 12 萬名孩童共襄盛舉。參加這項計畫的孩子會收到一本包含「檸檬汁日」14 堂課程的工作手冊。他們還會拿到一段介紹該計畫的影片。孩子們會學習如何設定獲利目標、服務顧客以及編列預算。透過這個計畫，孩子們能學會解決問題，並獲得更多自信。孩子們可以保留賺到的所有錢，但主辦單位也鼓勵他們花一部分、存一部分，並分享一部分。

thirty seven and thirty eight are based on the following talk. My doctor ordered me to eat less and come up with an exercise plan. Because I've never monitored what I eat and how much exercise I get, I turned to modern technology for help. To find out how much exercise I was getting, I bought a device called fitness tracker. It helps me keep track of my level of fitness. I wear it on my wrist, and then as I move, it measures my activity. It works quite well, but it isn't as comfortable as a wristwatch. I also bought an app for my smartphone to calculate how many calories I've been eating. It works pretty well, and I'm easily able to enter the necessary information in just a minute or two every day. Have I lost weight? Yes. I have. My doctor is happy with me, and I think the technology really helps.

第三十七題與第三十八題是根據以下談話內容。我的醫生要求我少吃一點，並制定一個運動計畫。因為我從未記錄過自己的飲食和運動量，所以我尋求現代科技的協助。為了 know 自己做了多少運動，我買了一個叫做「健身追蹤器」的裝置。它能幫我記錄自己的體能狀況。我把它戴在手腕上，當我移動時，它就會測量我的活動量。它的效果很好，但戴起來不像一般手錶那麼舒適。我還為我的智慧型手機買了一個應用程式（App），用來計算我攝取了多少卡路里。它非常好用，我每天只需花一兩分鐘就能輕鬆輸入必要的資訊。我減肥成功了嗎？是的，我做到了。我的醫生對我的表現很滿意，我覺得科技真的幫了大忙。

Questions thirty nine and forty are based on the following report. The American Dialect Society was founded in 1889 to study the English language as it is spoken in North America. The organization was set up as part of an effort to create a comprehensive American dialect dictionary. This, however, took over a century. The dictionary, the Dictionary of American Regional English, was published in five volumes between 1985 and 2012 and is a record of American English as it is spoken in The United States. It contains words, phrases, and pronunciations that vary from one part of the country to another. But these days perhaps, the American dialect society is most famous for its word of the year. Every year since 1991, it has selected the word or phrase which it considers most important for that specific year. For example, app was the word of the year in 2010, occupy in 2011, and hashtag in 2012. This is the end of the listening comprehension test.

第三十九題與第四十題是根據以下報導。美國方言學會創立於 1889 年，旨在研究北美地區所使用的英文。該組織的創立是為了編纂一本完整的美國方言字典。然而，這項工作耗時了超過一個世紀。這本名為《美國區域英語字典》（Dictionary of American Regional English）的著作在 1985 年至 2012 年間共出版了五卷，記錄了美國本土所使用的美式英語。書中收錄了因地區而異的單字、片語和發音。不過如今，美國方言學會最聞名的或許是其評選的「年度代表字」。自 1991 年以來，該學會每年都會選出一個他們認為對該年份最具重要意義的單字或片語。例如，2010 年的年度代表字是「app」，2011 年是「occupy」，2012 年則是「hashtag」。聽力測驗到此結束。
