【听力原文】

Last week, France announced that the country will pave 621 miles of road with solar panels over the next five years，with the goal of providing cheap, renewable energy to five million people. Called “the Ward Way,” the roads will be built through joint efforts with the French road building company Colas and the National Institute of Solar Energy. The company spent the last five years developing solar panels that are only about a quarter of inch thick and are strong enough to stand up to heavy highway traffic without breaking or making the roads more slippery. (4-1) The panels are also designed so that they can be installed directly on top of the existing roadways, making them relatively cheap and easy to install. France is the first country to kick around the idea of paving its roads with solar panels. In November 2015, the Netherlands completed a 229-foot long bike path paved with solar panels as a test for future projects. (4-2) However, this is the first time a panel has been designed to be laid directly on top existing roads and the first project to install the panels on public highways.

Lions have disappeared from much of Africa, but for the past few years scientists have wondered if the big cats were hanging on in remote parts of Sudan and Ethiopia（5）Continuous fighting in the region has made surveys difficult.（6）But scientists released a report Monday documenting with hard evidence the discovery of “lost lions.” A team with Oxford University’s Wildlife Conservation Research Unit, supported by a charity organization, spent two nights in November camping in a national park in northwest Ethiopia on the Ethiopia-Sudan border. (7) The researchers set out six camera traps, capturing images of lions, and the identified lion tracks. The scientists concluded that lions are also likely to live in a neighboring national park across the border in Sudan. The International Union for Conservation of Nature had previously considered the area a “possible range” for the species, and local people had reported seeing lions in the area, but no one presented convincing evidence.

【答案解析】

W: Mr. Green, Whatdo you think makes a successful negotiator?

W: And what aboutan unsuccessful negotiator?

M: Well, thisprobably all of us when we start out. We are probably immature andover-trusting, too emotional or aggressive. We are unsure of ourselves and want to be liked by everyone. (14) Good negotiators learn fast, poor negotiators remain like that and go on losing negotiations.

M: Well, you can teach someone how to prepare for negotiation. (15)There’re perhaps six stagesin every negotiation: get to know the other side; stay your goals; start the process; clarify there is a disagreement or conflict; reassess your position, making acceptable compromises; and finally reach some agreement in principals.These stages can be studied, and strategies to be used in each can be plannedbefore-hand.

Some people wonder why countries spend millions of dollars on space projects.（16）They want to know how space research helps people on earth. Actually, space technology helps people on earth every day. This is called “spin-off technology.” Spin-off technology is space technology that is now used on earth. (17) In early space programs, such as the Apollomissions of the 1960s and 1970s, and in the space shuttle missions today, scientists developed objects for the astronauts to use on the moon and inspace. We now use some of these objects every day. (18) For example, we have quartz crystal clocks and watches accurate to within one minute a year. We purify the water we drink with the water filter designed for the astronauts’use in space. The cordless hand-held tools we use in our homes, such as vacuumcleaners, flashlights, drills and saws came from the technology of these early space programs. On cold winter days, we can stay warm with battery-operated gloves and socks, and specially-made coats and jackets. All these clothes are similar to the space suit designs that kept astronauts comfortable in the temperatures of the moon, and are spin-offs from space technology. These products are only a few examples of the many ways space technology helps us in our everyday lives. No one knows how new spin-off technology from the International Space Station will help us in the future.

(20) I’m deeply attached to the Puritan tradition, not in a religious sense, but they believed in working for something, working for goals, and I like that. They worked hard at whatever they did, but they had a sense of achievement. They believed in goodness, in community, and helping one another. I love it: the colonial fabrics, all the silver work, the furnishings, thecombination of elegance simplicity. I love it. The printing, the books, I’m very attached to all that kind of thing. That may not all be very entertaining in the modern sense of the world, (21) but I would have enjoyed spending my evenings in that environment, discussing new ideas, building a new world, And I can see myself sitting on a small chair by the fire doing needlework.

(22) When you think you’re lost, sit down on the log or rock, or lean against the tree, and recite something you have memorized to bring your mind to a point where it is under control. Don’t run blindly. If you must move, don’t follow a stream unless you know it, and in that case you’re not lost. (23) Streams normally flow through wetland before they reach a lake or a river. Though there are more eatable plants, there may also be wild animals, poisonous snakes, and other hazards.(24) Many experts feel it’s wisest to walk uphill. At the top of most hills and mountains are trails leading back to civilization. If there are no trails, you’re much easier to be seen on top of a hill, and you may even spot a highway or a railroad from this point. Nowadays, the first way someone will search for youis by air. In a wetland or in dense growth, you’re very hard to spot. (25) Anytime you go into the woods, somebody should know where you’re going, and when you’re expected to return.
