22. [听力文本资源] Why does Zhang compare climbing as a computer game? [听力文本资源]

A) Because both of them were forbidden by their parents. B) Because the tall building was shaped like the monster. C) Because both of them need the courage to finish the challenge. √

D) Because computer game and climbing are both Zhang’s hobbies. 答案：C 解析：音频一开始，张先生将攀岩和电脑游戏做比较，仅仅是因为两者都只有勇敢者才能完成任务，而高楼则像最后的怪兽一样，只有勇敢的玩家才能征服他们(Tall buildings are like final monsters in a computer game and I'm the brave player)。所以选C。 23. [听力文本资源] What is people's reaction to the photo that Zhang was at the top of a residential building? [听力文本资源] A) B) C) D)

They were marveled at him. They turned blind eyes to him.

They viewed the photo as a fake one. √ They believed this man would become famous.

答案：C

解析：张先生在网上贴出他在没有道具的帮助下攀登到大楼顶部的照片时，人们的反应并没有如他意料的那样惊奇(marveling at him)，相反，他们质疑照片的真实性(authentic)，同时觉得他是想出名(grab fame)才这样做的。所以选C。 24. [听力文本资源] What is the major difference between Zhang and Alain Robert in climbing? [听力文本资源] A) Alain uses some equipment while Zhang does not. B) Alain prefers climbing alone while Zhang would like to do it with his friends.

C) Alain likes to plan before climbing while Zhang does it at will. √

D) Alain challenges the same building until he succeeds while Zhang only challenges a building once without

considering the result. 答案：C 解析：张先生和他偶像法国Alain Robert的本质区别就在于Alain Robert攀岩之前是有计划的，而张先生则是随意为之的(at will)。选项D中，关于张先生的描述是正确的，对于Alain Robert是否每栋楼只挑战一次则没有提及，因此，不能选D。所以选C。 25. [听力文本资源] Which statement about Zhang is true? [听力文本资源] A) He has a scar below his right eyebrow. B) He is strong and has a good eyesight.

C) He wants to become as famous as Alain Robert, the French climber, and even defeat him.

D) He went to the top of the houses more quickly than other children of his age when he was little. √ 答案：D

解析：选项A，他的伤疤是在左边眉毛下，而不是右边；选项B中，文中开篇就提到张先生很瘦，并且带着眼镜，因此不正确；选项C，张先生喜欢攀岩的主要原因是个人喜好，还有交朋友，而不是和谁比较，因此也不对。所以选D。

Section C

Directions： In this section, you will hear a passage three times. When the passage is read for the first time, you should listen carefully for its general idea. When the passage is read for the second time, you are required to fill in the blanks with the exact words you have just heard. Finally, when the passage is read for the third time, you should check what you have written.

Numerous studies have shown the crucial role Earth's forests play in storing carbon and mitigating (减轻) the effects of global warming. But according to the latest research, forests may be less capable of coping with climate change as previously thought. As temperatures rise and regions of favorable growing conditions shift towards the poles, experts expected plant species would migrate to survive , though it turns out not to be the case.

Duke University professor James S. Clark, a leading expert on how climate change impacts trees, says that most forests in the eastern US aren't migrating as effectively as was once believed. Instead of inching north towards higher altitudes and more familiar conditions, research suggests that 60% of plant species were experiencing contracting habitats, while only 21% showed some movement north. Clark says \models have suggested that trees will migrate rapidly to higher latitudes and elevations in response to warming temperatures, but evidence for a consistent, climate-driven northward migration is essentially absent in this large analysis.\

It may be too soon to tell whether Clark's findings are unique to forests in the eastern US, or if tree species across the planet will find climate change similarly difficult to cope with. There was once some cold comfort in the notion that despite the nefarious (极坏的) effects of global warming on Earth's delicate ecosystems, plant life was capable of adapting via migration. Unfortunately, in lieu (代替) of evidence to the contrary, we can now count forests among the likely casualties of a warming world.

文章大意：

人们一般认为随着年龄的增长，身体不可避免地变得越来越差。但是直到最近也没有找到具有说服力的证据。最近，一系列新的研究显示充足的运动可以增进老年人的身体健康。其中的一项研究以四十位年龄在40-70岁以上跑步运动员，自行车运动员和游泳运动员为调查对象。研究发现，年龄的增加并没有给他们带来体质的下降。据此，研究者们发现，老年人做适当的运动对于健康是非常有帮助的。

Is physical frailty (虚弱) inevitable as we grow older? Until recently, the evidence was discouraging. A large number of studies in the past few years showed that after age 40, people typically lose 8% or more of their muscle mass each decade, a process that accelerates significantlyafter age 70. Less muscle mass generally means less strength, mobility and independence among the elderly. However, a growing body of newer science suggests that such decline may be changed. Exercise, the thinking goes, and you might be able to rewrite the future for your muscles.

Consider the results of a stirring study published last month in the journal The Physician and Sportsmedicine. For it, researchers at the University of Pittsburgh recruited 40 competitive runners, cyclists and swimmers. They ranged in age from 40 to 81, with five men and five women representing each of four age groups: 40 to 49, 50 to 59, 60 to 69, and 70-plus. They
