Part A<br>Directions: You will hear a talk. As you listen, answer Questions 1-10 by circling TRUE or FALSE. You will hear the talk ONLY ONCE. You now have 1 minute to read Questions 1-10.<br>听力原文: When you close your eyes and try to think of the shape of your own body, what you imagine(or, rather, what you feel) is quite different from what you see when you open your eyes and look in the mirror. The image you feel is much vaguer than the one you see. And if you lie still, it is quite hard to imagine yourself as having any particular size or shape.<br>When you move, when you feel the weight of your arms and legs and the natural resistance of the objects around you, the "felt image" of yourself starts to become clearer. It is almost as if it were created by your own actions and the sensations they cause. The image you make for yourself has rather strange proportions: certain parts feel much larger than they look. If you poke your tongue into a hole in one of your teeth, it feels enormous; you are often surprised by how small it looks when you inspect it in the mirror.<br>But although the "felt image" may not have the exact shape you see in the mirror, it is much more important. It is the image through which you recognize your physical existence in the world. In spite of its strange proportions, it is all one piece, and since it has a consistent right and left and top and bottom, it allows you to locate new sensations when they occur. It allows you to find your nose in the dark, scratch itches and point to a pain.<br>If the felt image is damaged for any reason—if it is cut in half or lost, as it often is after certain strokes which wipe out recognition of one entire side—these tasks become almost impossible. What is more, it becomes hard to make sense of one's own visual appearance. If one half of the felt image is wiped out or injured, the patient stops recognizing the affected part of his body. It is hard for him to find the location of sensation on that side, and, although he feels: the doctor's touch, he locates it as being on the undamaged side.<br>He loses his ability to accept the affected side as part of his body even when he can see it. If you throw him a pair of gloves and ask him to put them on, he will only glove one hand and leave the other bare. And yet he had to use the left hand in order to glove the right. The fact that he can see the ungloved hand doesn't seem to help him, and there is no reason why it should. He can no longer reconcile what he sees with what he feels: the ungloved object lying on the left may look like a hand, but, since there is no felt image corresponding to it , why should he claim the object as this?<br>Mirror images is often different from the "felt images".

A. True
B. Fasle

Almost obscured by this torpor is the fact that there has been some remarkable progress over the past five years—real changes in the attitude of ordinary people in the Third World toward family size and a dawning realisation that environmental degradation and their own well-being are intimately,and inversely,linked.Almost none of this,however, has anything to do with what the bureaucrats accomplished in Rio.<br>Or it didn't accomplish.One item on the agenda at Rio,for example,was a renewed effort to save tropical forests.(A previous UN-sponsored initiative had fallen apart when it became clear that it actually hastened deforestation.)After Rio,a UN working group came up with more than 100 recommendations that have so far gone nowhere.One proposed forestry pact would do little more than immunizing wood-exporting nations against trade sanctions.<br>An effort to draft an agreement on what to do about the climate changes caused by CO2 and other greenhouse gases has fared even worse.Blocked by the Bush Administration from setting mandatory limits,the UN in 1992 called on nations to voluntarily reduce emissions to 1990 levels.Several years later,it's as if Rio had never happened.A new climate treaty is scheduled to be signed this December in Kyoto,Japan,but governments still cannot agree on these limits.Meanwhile,the U.S. produces 7% more CO2 than it did in 1990,and emissions in the developing world have risen even more sharply.No one would confuse the“Rio process”with progress.<br>While governments have dithered at a pace that could make drifting continents impatient,people have acted.Birth-rates are dropping faster than expected,not because of Rio but because poor people are deciding on their own to reduce family size.Another positive development has been a growing environmental consciousness among the poor.From slum dwellers in Karachi,Pakistan,to colonists in Rondonia,Brazil,urban poor and rural peasants alike seem to realize that they pay the biggest price for pollution and deforestation.There is cause for hope as well in the growing recognition among business people that it is not in their long-term interest to fight environmental reforms.John Browne,chief executive of British Petroleum,boldly asserted in a major speech in May that the threat of climate change could no longer be ignored.<br>The writer's general attitude towards the world leaders meeting at the UN is______.

A. supportive
B. impartial
C. critical
D. comedic
