听力原文： The British summer is extremely beautiful. Trees, flowers, birds and butterflies make the whole country like a big garden. However, many British people have noticed that butterflies have been gradually disappearing from this picturesque scenery during the past veral years. What has happened to them? Butterfly Conrvation in the UK is running a survey to help answer this question. The result is more rious than people expected. (12) According to the survey, among 59 butterfly species found in the British Isles, more than three-quarters of them are suffering a declining population. Moreover, half of all butterfly species are on the verge of extinction. The numbers of butterflies have dropped to a low record in the past three years largely becau the summer in the UK is getting cooler and their habitat is also degrading. Fortunately, Britain is experiencing a long hot summer this year compared to the last few summers. Conrvationists believe the warm weather will bring some benefit to the butterflies. Sir David Attenborough, President of Butterfly Conrvation, said, “(13) Butterflies in profusion tell us that all is well with nature. When they decline it’s a warning that other wildlife will soon be heading the same way”. The organizers hope the survey will help rais
e public awareness of the value of butterflies in the UK. Butterflies give an indication of the well-being of nature and the environment.

听力原文： While nearly all men are poor at public speaking, women are even wor. This is partly becau women cannot tell jokes, but also becau we are better at lf-awareness and therefore know that our speech is average and the audience would rather be doing something el—(17) thoughts that do little to enhance performance. (18) To combat fear and innate hopelessness, I try quite hard to be better. Every time a book about public speaking arrives on my desk, I skim it for tips. Mostly they tell you to “relax” and to “be yourlf”—(19)which is downright irresponsible. This works only for the one in a billion who is born a brilliant speaker. Being good, for everyone el means reaching such an elevated level of nervousness and artifice that you can prent an entirely convin
cing picture of authenticity and relaxation. I have only come across two bits of helpful advice. The first is practice, practice, practice. This is a bore becau it takes a lot of time, but there is no way round it. (20)The cond is to junk all aids-PowerPoint is a crutch. It is an ugly thing in itlf and must be thrown away if you want to talk smoothly. Equally, you must never read a speech. Write it, learn it and then leave it at home, speaking with minimal notes.
