Why would it still be good for us to fake a smile or laugh sometimes?【解析】D。根据重复出现的We want to以及fake smile，fooled easily by laughing推测，问题可能与人们假笑的原因有关。男士提到假笑和真笑一样对人的生理有好处，因为body is stupid and cant tell the difference（身体很笨，不能辨别其中的差别），故答案为D。D是对your body is stupid and cant tell the difference.的同义转述。【点睛】转折词But后常常是设题处。听音时，注意认真听but前后的信息。Section BPassage One【听前预测】预览四道题各选项，选项中重复出现的reunion，graduates，her students，college graduations及Ms. Yates speech等提示，短文可能与毕业典礼和重聚活动有关，涉及Ms. Yates的演讲。Barditch High School decided to have an All-School Reunion.

Beginning this fall, a number of courses developed by teachers at both universities will be offered online through a new $60 million program, known as edX. “Anyone with an Internet connection anywhere in the world can use our online courses,” Harvard President Drew Faust said during a meeting to announce the plan. MIT has offered a program called OpenCourseWare for ten years that makes materials from more than 2,000 classes free online. It has been used by more than 100 million people. In December, the school announced it also would begin offering a special certificate, known as MITx, for people who complete certain online courses. Harvard has long offered courses to a wider population through a similar program. The MITx will serve as the foundation for the new learning platform. MIT President Susan Hockfield said more than 120,000 people signed up for the first MITx course. She said Harvard and MIT hope other universities will join them in offering courses on the open-source edX platform.“Get ready for this educational change,” Hockfield said.Other universities, including Stanford, Yale and Carnegie-Mellon, have been experimenting with teaching to a global population online.The Harvard-MIT program will be monitored by a not-for-profit organization based in Cambridge, to be owned equally by the two universities. Both MIT and Harvard have provided $30 million to start the program. They also plan to use the edX platform to research how students learn and which teaching methods and tools are most successful.Questions 30 to 32 are based on the passage you have just heard.30.

What can be said about MITx according to the passage?【解析】选C。由选项B中的another free MIT-Harvard online learning program推测，It指的是某个网络学习项目，本题考查这种网络学习项目的情况。短文中提到it also would begin offering a special certificate, known as MITx, for people who complete certain online courses，其中it指代前面的MIT，由此可知，MITx是一种麻省理工大学提供的需要通过某些网络课程才可以获得的特殊证书，故答案为C。【点睛】听清问题中的MITx是解题的关键。Passage Three【听前预测】预览三道题各选项，选项中重复出现的Climate change，Plants，flowering，Scientists，experiments等提示，短文可能与科学家研究植物开花与气候变化有关。Plants are flowering faster than scientists predicted in reaction to climate change, which could have long damaging effects on food chains and ecosystems. Global warming is having a great effect on hundreds of plant and animal species around the world, changing some living patterns, scientists say. Increased carbon dioxide (CO2) in the air from burning coal and oil can have an effect on how plants produce oxygen, while higher temperatures and changeable rainfall patterns can change their patterns of growth. “Predicting species reaction to climate change is a major challenge in ecology,” said the researches of several U.S. universities. They said plants had been the key object of study because their reaction to climate change could have an effect on food chains and ecosystem services. The study, published on the Nature website, uses the findings from plant life cycle studies and experiments across four continents and 1,634 species. It found that some experiments had underestimated the speed of flowering by 8.5 times and leafing by 4 times. “Across all species, the experiments under-predicted the speed of the advancefor both leafing and floweringthat results from temperature increases,” the study said. The design of future experiments may need to be improved to better predict how plants will react to climate change, it said. Plants are necessary for life on the Earth. They are the base of the food chain, producing sugar from carbon dioxide and water. They let out oxygen which is needed by nearly every organism on the planet.Questions 33 to 35 are based on the passage you have just heard.33. What is the key information the speaker wants to give in the beginning of the passage?【解析】选C。选项含义各不相同提示，本题可能考查细节理解。短文开头部分提到Plants are flowering faster than scientists predicted in reaction to climate change, 由此可知，植物开花的时间比scientists的预期要早，故答案为C。【点睛】短文开头是常设题处。听音时，注意对照选项。34. What can we learn from the study published on the Nature website?【解析】选C。选项中的8.5 times faster，1,634 plant species，experiments等提示，本题可能考查试验的结果。短文中提到The study, published on the Nature websitefound that some experiments had underestimated the speed of flowering and leafing 最后指出The design of future experiments may need to be improved to better predict how plants will react to climate change.由此可知，自然网站上的研究指出未来在科学实验的设计构思上要进行改进，故答案为C。35. Why do scientists pay special attention to the study of plants?【解析】选B。选项中的can prove，very important，play a leading role等提示，本题可能考查某人做某事的原因。短文结尾部分提到Plants are necessaryThey are the base of the food chain由此可知，植物在食物链中发挥着非常重要的作用，故答案为B。Section C36.【解析】highlight。前一句中的are和空前的organizations及空后的three stages提示，本空应填一原形动词。highlight意为“强调”。37.【解析】recognizing。空后的abilities及与其并列的成分matching和presenting提示，本空也应填-ing形式的动词。recognize意为“认识，识别”。38.【解析】assessment。空前的a careful及空后的of提示，本空应填一单数名词。assessment意为“评价，评估”。下句的assessment对本空有很强的提示作用。39.【解析】qualifications。空前的their academic提示，本空应填一复数名词。academic qualification为固定短语，意为“学历”。40.【解析】available。空前的opportunities与空后的for提示，本空应填一形容词。available for为固定搭配，意为“可利用的”。41.【解析】options。空前的all the various提示，本空应填一复数名词。option意为“选择”。42.【解析】essential。空前的is提示，本空应填一形容词做表语。essential意为“必不可少的”。43.【解析】application。空前的Job和空后的forms and letters提示，本空应填一单数名词，与Job一起共同修饰forms and letters。job application意为“工作申请”。44.【答案】job seekers should describe their abilities and work experience in more depth, with examples if possible【Main Points】job seekers should detail their abilities and work experience, with examples if possible45.【答案】When graduates go to an interview, they should prepare properly by finding out all they can about the possible employer【Main Points】When going to an interview, they should prepare duly by finding out all they can about the possible employer46.【答案】Interviewees should try to give positive and helpful answers and should not be afraid to ask questions about anything they are unsure about【Main Points】Interviewees should try to give positive and helpful answers, not afraid to ask questions about anything they doubt标准听力（二）听力原文及答案解析Listening Com
