A white shecp named Prickles that ran away from an Australian fam during the 2013 bushfires, recently returned home.
According to farmer Alice Gray, Prickles was only a lamb when she ran away. The bushfires that hit the area back then destroyed a large part of her family's massive property. They thought Prickles had died in the fire. But instead, the young sheep escaped into a 200-acre forest near the farm.

It was this huge fencing that prevented Prickles from finding her way back. Over the years, the family spotted her a few times. They even recorded her with cameras installed to monitor deer activity. But while they knew Prickles was alive, they couldn't find her and never expected her to return by herself. Seven years later, they were proven wrong.

Questions 16 to 18 are based on the passage you havejust heard.
A new study carried out by the University of Lincoln has found a link between the personalities of cat owners and the behaviour and wellbeing of their cats. The findings suggest that, just as a parent's personality can affect the personality of a child, the same is true for a cat and its owner.
Owners—defined as individuals with high levels of anxiety, fear, anger, depression, and loneliness—were more likely to have cats with behavioural issues. Such cats displayed more aggressive and anxious behavioural styles as well as more stress-related sickness. They were also more likely to have an ongoing medical condition and be overweight.
The research also found that mentally well-adjusted owners had calmer, happier, and healthier cats. The researchers explained that "Many owners regard their pets as a family member, and form close social bonds with them." The majority of owners want to provide the best care for their pets, and it's therefore possible that pets could be affected by the way their owners interact with and manage them.
The study highlights an important relationship between our personalities and the wellbeing of our pets. Further research is needed to investigate the causal nature of this relationship and to look at how owners' personalities are directly influencing their pets' behaviour and wellbeing.
It is possible that the wellbeing of pets is driven by the underlying nature of the owner, not simply by their conscious decisions and behaviours.
16.What do we learn from the new study by the University of Lincolh?
A)Owners'personalities affect their cats' behaviour and wellbeing.
B)Parents'personalitiescan affect the personalities of their children.
C)Parents and cat owners alike experience high levels of anxiety.

A)Give their petsbehavioural training.
B)Provide their pets with the best care.
C)Knowtheir pets' feelings and desires.
D)Interact with theirpets in novel ways.
18.What does the passage say i still needed to understand theeffects of owners'personalitics on their pets?
A)More convincing explanation.
B)More extensive sampling.
C)Collection of more data.
D)Further investigation.

Questions 19 to 21 are based on the passage you have just heard.
"One 60-minute run can add seven hours to your life." This was a claim made by The Times last week. The claim was based on a new review of studies about the effects of running. The review concluded that on average, runners live three years longer than non-runners and that running does more to extend life than any other form of exercise. But there's more to running than its health benefits. Research published in recent years has shown that running changes your brain and mind in some fascinating ways, from increasing your brain function to regulating your emotions. However, the precise effects vary according to whether you engage in short, fast running or long-distance running.
For example, in one study, researchers compared participants' ability to learn new words after several minutes of intense running and after 40 minutes of gentle running. Participants were able to learn 20 percent faster after the intense running and they showed a superior memory when tested again a week later.
In another study, researchers asked volunteers to jog for 30 minutes and then showed them clips from a sad movie. Participants who usually struggled to handle negative emotions were more intensely affected by the sad clips, just as you'd expect. But crucially, this was less so if they had completed the 30-minute jog. The researchers said moderate exercise appears to have helped those participants to be less vulnerable to the impact of the sad movie.
19.What did the new review of studies claim?
A)People should do more running than mere walking.
B)Running is thebestexercise for extendingone'slife.
C)People should exercise at least 60 minutes every day.
D)Running is the easiest form of exercise for most people.
20.What is one effect that running has on people according to recent research?
A)Improving their brain function.
B)Regulating their breathing rate.
C)Slowing down their ageing process.
D)Accelerating theirblood circulation.
21.What did another study find about the participants after they had a 30-minute jog?
A)They found it easy to control their emotions.
B)They struggled to handle negative emotions.
C)They were more eagerto enjoy a movie.
D)They were less affected by sad movies.

20.A)【精析】事實細節(jié)題。短文中提到，最近的研究表明，跑步能改善大腦功能，還能調節(jié)情緒。因此，答案為A)。
21.D)【精析】細節(jié)推斷題。短文末尾提到，在另一項研究中，研究者要求志愿者進行30分鐘慢跑后觀看悲劇電影片段。那些很難控制負面情緒的人更容易受到電影的影響，但經過30分鐘慢跑運動后，這種情況有所緩解。研究者因此得出結論：適度運動能減輕悲劇電影對人們情緒的影響。因此，答案為D)。
Questions 22 to 25 are based on the passage you have just heard.
Welcome to the tour of the Hill House. This house, built in 1904, is one of the most well-known works of Charles Hll, the famous architect. It was designed and built for a local entrepreneur and his family. Before starting the tour, let me give you a brief introduction about the design of this amazing building.
Prior to beginning his design, the architect spent some time in the client's old home, observing their life and studying their habits. This meant that he could design the house according to the needs of the family.
The client's main desire was to have a home with a unique design, so the architect was given complete freedom. The building style is radically different from what was fashionable at the time. At the time, most large homes were constructed of timber and brick. This one, however, is made of concrete, a novel construction material in those days. The interior of the house, including fittings and furniture, was also designed by the same person. Most of the furniture you will see is original and in good condition. However, those pieces in the children's bedrooms are copies built to the designs of the architect. Fortunately, all the blueprints for both the building and its contents have been preserved, so we've been able to replace badly damaged furniture. Let's begin our tour, starting from the rooms.
22.What do we learn about the speaker?
A)He is a tour guide.
B)He is a famousarchitect.
C)He is a local entrepreneur.
D)He is the owner of the Hill House.
23.What did the architect do beforebeginning his design?
A)He studied the blueprints of other famous buildings.
B)He inquired about his client's family background.
C)He observed his client's lifeand habits.
D)He took a tour of hisclient's old home.
24.What did the architect's client mainly want?
A)A house made of timber and brick.
B)A house with a lot of free space.
C)A house of the current fashion.
D)A house of a unique design.
25.What do we learn aboutthepieces of furniture in the children's bedrooms?
A)They are well preserved and in pretty good shape.
B)They are copies built to the architect's designs.
C)Theywere designedby another architect.
D)They were badly damaged but restored.
