M: Well, the original shop was opened by a ret
17、ired printer by the name of Gruby. Mr. Gruby being left-handed himself, thought of the idea to try to promote a few products for left-handers. W: And how did he then go about actually setting up the business? M: Well, he looked for any left-handed products that might already be on the market which w
18、ere very few, and then contacted the manufactures with the idea of having products produced for him, mainly in the scissors range to start with. W: Right. So you do commission some part of your stock. M: Yes, very much so. About 75 percent of our stock is specially made for us. W: And the rest of it
19、? M: Hmm, the rest of it now, some 25, 30 years after Mr. Grubys initial efforts, there are more left-handed products actually on the market. Manufactures are now beginning to see that there is a market for left-handed products. W: And whats the range of your stock? M: The range consists of a variet
20、y of scissors from children scissors to scissors for tailors, hairdressers etc. We also have a large range of kitchen ware. W: Whats the competition like? Do you have quite a lot of competition? M: There are other people in the business now in specialists, but only as mail-order outlets. But we have
21、 a shop here in central London plus a mail-order outlet. And we are without any doubt the largest supplier of the left-handed items. Questions 1 to 4 are based on the conversation you have just heard. 1. What kind of business is the man engaged in? 2. What does the man say about his stock of product
22、s? 3. Whats the range of the mans stock? 4. What does the man say about other people in his line of business? 1 【正确答案】 B 【试题解析】 从这三个问题的选项可以推断对话是关于某种商业行为。本题的答案贯穿整个听力对话。听力对话一开始，就提 Mr. Gruby 想为左撇子的人提供商品服务 ;对话最后强调说自己是左撇子用品的最大供应商。由此可以判断 B为正确答案。 【知识模块】 听力 2 【正确答案】 D 【试题解析】 选项是关于商品的特点。女士接下来问及男士目前的产品，男士回答说
23、:大约 75% 的商品都是特意为他们而做。所以 D)为正确答案。选项 B)为混淆项，男士只是提及自己也经营厨房用品，但 并没有强调自己的厨房用品设计独特。 【知识模块】 听力 3 【正确答案】 B 【试题解析】 题目问的是，男士的库存有些什么。男士说，他的库存包括各种剪刀和厨房用具。 【知识模块】 听力 4 【正确答案】 A 【试题解析】 选项是关于经营方式的，其中 outlet 意为 “批发商店 ”。对话最后讲到经营模式，男士说 :他们在伦敦市中心有一家店，同时也有邮购批发商店，是左撇子用品最大的经销商。由此可以推断 B)、 C)、 D) 都不符合听力原文。听力最后还讲到经营范围，是各种各样
24、的剪刀，由此 可推断 A)为正确答案。 【知识模块】 听力 5 【听力原文】 M: Can we make you an offer? We would like to run the campaign for four extra weeks. W: Well, can we summarize the problem from my point of view? First of all, the campaign was late. It missed two important trade affairs. The ads also did not appear into key ma
25、gazines. As a result, the campaign failed. Do you accept that summary of what happened? M: Well, the delay wasnt entirely our fault. You did in fact make late changes to the specifications of the advertisements. W: Uh, actually, you were late with the initial proposals so you have very little time a
26、nd in fact, we only asked for small changes. M: Well whatever, can we repeat our offer to run the campaign for 4 extra weeks? W: Thats not really the point. The campaign missed two key trade affairs. Because of this, we are asking you either to repeat the campaign next year for free, or we only pay
27、50% of the fee for this year. M: Could we suggest a 20% reduction to the fee together with the four week sustention to the campaign? W: We are not happy. We lost business. M: I think we both made mistakes. The responsibility is on both sides. W: Ok, lets suggest a new solution. How about a 40% cut i
28、n fee, or a free repeat campaign? M: Well, lets take a break; were not getting very far. Perhaps we should think about this. Questions 5 to 8 are based on the conversation you have just heard. 5. What do we learn about the mans company? 6. Why was the campaign delayed according to the man? 7. What d
29、oes the woman propose as a solution to the problem? 8. What does the man suggest they do at the end of the conversation? 5 【正确答案】 C 【试题解析】 根据选项可以推测听力对话是关于某种商业行为的。听力一开始，男士就给出了一个建议 :免费再做四周的商业宣传活动。女士回答宣传活动已错过了两场重要的商品交易会，结合全文可知男士的公司是为商品交易会做赞助的。由此判断 C)为正确答案。 【知识模块】 听力 6 【正确答案】 C 【试题解析】 选项陈述了一个事实，强调了女士的做法
30、。听力对话接下来讨论了宣传活动失败的原因，男士认为 :拖延并不完全是我们的过失 ;在最后一刻你们修改了广告的细节。由此判断 C)为正确答案。 【知识模块】 听力 7 【正确答案】 D 【试题解析】 从前两个题目考生可推测问题可能是如何解决这一情况的。男士建议免费再做四周的宣传活动 ;女士并不同意，她建议 :明年免费做一年，或今年付 50% 的费用做整年。因此 D)为正确答案。 【知识模块】 听力 8 【正确答案】 D 【试题解析】 从选项可以推断问题可能是关于最终的解决方案的。听力对话最后，男士说双方都有错，并要好好思索。由此判断 D) 为正确答案。 【知识模块】 听力 Section B 9
31、 【听力原文 】 The University of Tennessees Walters Life Sciences building is a model animal facility, spotlessly clean, careful in obtaining prior approval for experiments from an animal care committee. Of the 15,000 mice house there in a typical year, most give their lives for humanity. These are good m
32、ice and as such won the protection of the animal care committee. At any given time however some mice escape and run free. These mice are pests. They can disrupt experiments with the bacteria organisms they carry. They are bad mice and must be captured and destroyed. Usually, this is accomplished by
33、means of sticky traps, a kind of fly paper on which they become increasingly stuck. But the real point of the cautionary tale, says animal behaviorist Herzau, is that the labels we put on things can affect our moral responses to them. Using stick traps or the more deadly snap traps would be deemed u
34、nacceptable for good mice. Yet the killing of bad mice requires no prior approval. Once the research animal hits the floor and becomes an escapee, says Herza, its moral standard is instantly diminished. In Herzaus own home, there was more ironic example when his young sons pet mouse Willy died recen
35、tly, it was accorded a tearful ceremonial burial in garden. Yet even as they mourned Willy, says Herzau, he and his wife were setting snap traps to kill the pest mice in their kitchen with the bare change in labels from pet to pest; the kitchen mice obtained totally different moral standards. Questi
36、ons 9 to 12 are based on the passage you have just heard. 9. What does the passage say about most of the mice used for experiments? 10. Why did the so-called bad mice have to be captured and destroyed? 11. When are mice killed without prior approval? 12. Why does the speaker say what the Herzaus did
37、 at home is ironical? 9 【正确答案】 B 【试题解析】 听力篇章一开始就提到实验室中小白鼠的命运 :大部分为了人类的利益付出了自己的生命。选项 B)和原文同义，为正确答案。 【知识模块】 听力 10 【正确答案】 D 【试题解析】 选项是关于某种后果的。听力篇章接下来讲，一些老鼠会逃出来到处乱跑，它们因身上携带的细菌而毁掉实验。因此 D)为正确答案。 【知识模块】 听力 11 【正确答案】 C 【试题解析】 选项表示某种特征，根据 前两题，考生可推测 they 在这里指代某种 mice。听力篇章接着说，杀死这些坏老鼠不需要征得同意，只要它们掉在地板上，变成 escape
38、e 即可。由此判断 C)为正确答案，考生不必过于纠结 escapee 的含义，原意为 “逃犯 “。 【知识模块】 听力 12 【正确答案】 B 【试题解析】 选项是关于两个对立的行为的。听力篇章最后举了个例子 :Herzau 为儿子的宠物老鼠举行了葬礼，却杀掉厨房里的坏老鼠。由此判断 B)为正确答案。 【知识模块】 听力 13 【听力原文】 There are roughly three New Yorks. There is, first, the New York of the man or woman who was born here, who takes the city for g
39、ranted and accepts its size and its turbulence as natural and inevitable. Second, there is the New York of the commuter the city that is swallowed up by locusts each day and spat out each night. Third, there is the New York of the person who was born somewhere else and came to New York in quest of s
40、omething. Of these three trembling cities the greatest is the last, the city of final destination, the city that has a goal. It is this third city that accounts for New Yorks high-strung disposition, its poetical deportment, its dedication to the arts, and its incomparable achievements. Commuters gi
41、ve the city its tidal restlessness; natives give it solidity and continuity; but the settlers give it passion. And whether it is a farmer arriving from Italy to set up a small grocery store in a slum, or a young girl arriving from a small town in Mississippi to escape the indignity of being observed
42、 by her neighbors, or a boy arriving from the Corn Belt with a manuscript in his suitcase and a pain in his heart, it makes no difference: each embraces New York with the intense excitement of first love, each absorbs New York with the fresh eyes of an adventurer, each generates heat and light to dw
43、arf the Consolidated Edison Company. Questions 13 to 15 are based on the passage you have just heard. 13. What does the speaker say about the natives of New York? 14. What does the speaker say commuters give to New York? 15. What do we learn about the settlers of New York? 13 【正确答案】 C 【试题解析】 选项是某些人的
44、看法和行为。听力篇章一开始就讲到有三个 New York，第一个是土生土长的纽约人，他们把这个城市的一切看作理所当然。选项C) 和原句基本上一样，为正确答案。 【知识模块】 听力 14 【正确答案】 A 【试题解析】 选项是一组名词。听力篇章接下来讲这三类人对纽约不同的贡献。对于 commuters(通勤工作人员 )来讲，他们给予纽约的是 tidal restlessness，因此A)为正确答案。 【知识模块】 听力 15 【正确答案】 A 【试题解析】 根据前两题考生可推测选项中的 they指代第三类人。听力篇章最后讲到第三类人的贡献 :他们给予纽约热情，他们来自于世界各个地方，带着梦想，用

Benedetta Berti is a foreign policy and security researcher, analyst, consultant, author and lecturer. Her work focuses on human security and internal
46、conflicts, as well as on post-conflict stabilization and peace building. Her work and research have appeared in Foreign Policy, Foreign Affairs, the Wall Street Journal and the New York Times. Welcome, Ms. Berti. Benedetta Berti: Thank you for the introduction. For the past decade, Ive been studying
47、 non-state armed groups: armed organizations like terrorists, insurgents or militias. I document what these groups do when theyre not shooting. My goal is to better understand these violent actors and to study ways to encourage transition from violent engagement to nonviolent confrontation. I work i
48、n the field, in the policy world and in the library. Understanding non-state armed groups is key to solving most ongoing conflict, because war has changed. It used to be a contest between states. No longer. It is now a conflict between states and non-state actors. For example, of the 216 peace agree
49、ments signed between 1975 and 2011, 196 of them were between a state and a non-state actor. So we need to understand these groups; we need to either engage them or defeat them in any conflict resolution process that has to be successful. So how do we do that? We need to know what makes these organizations tick. We know a lot about how they fight, why they fight, but no one looks at what theyre doing when theyre not fighting. Yet, armed struggle and unarmed politics are related. It is all part of the same organization. We cannot understand these groups, let al
