W:Smart speakers are very popular.You can buy one at a low price now.It’s a bargain.Why not choose one for your family?

M:I hear that it’s convenient—you can check the weather and shop for things.You can do all by your voice.But it’s always listening.

W:Don’t worry!The smart speaker doesn’t pay attention to everything you say.

M:So it only listens when a command is given to the device?

W:Yes!You have to use certain words,such as “Alexa” or “Hey,Google”.

M:And it will start listening as soon as you say those words?

W:Yes.But only for eight seconds.It’s not spying.

M:OK.Well,maybe I won’t be bored if I have such an assistant at home.

Text 8

W:This heat is awful.I wish we had an air conditioner here.

M:I know,but it’s supposed to cool off in a few days.

W:A few days!I can’t stand it even now.

M:Well,have you thought about spending your time somewhere cooler?

W:But where can I go?

M:You could go to an air-conditioned cafe and read for a while.You know,you don’t have to spend much money there.

W:No.Most cafes around here only allow you to use their table for two hours.Then they will kick you out.I’ll be back in the house again.

M:Well,the downtown library is nice and cool.And you can stay there as long as you like.

W:That’s the best idea.I’ll go there this afternoon.

听第9段材料,回答第14至16题。

Text 9

M:Security again?I was checked when I left the airport in Shanghai.

W:Oh,the Los Angeles airport does it,too.Every country has its own security measures.We are transferring through a new country,so we have to.

M:That doesn’t make sense.Isn’t security supposed to be the same everywhere?

W:No.In China,you can’t take water but you can here.In the US,you have to take off your shoes when you go through the security check.When I went to Brussels,there wasn’t any security check.Every country is different.

M:I guess it makes sense that every country has its own rules for the checkpoints.But it is just a little bit annoying to keep doing this.

W:Don’t you think it is a part of international travel?If every country is the same,there won’t be any fun to visit them.

M:At least the security won’t take us too long here.In Baghdad,they checked our cars and then us at the door and again when we went to the gates,and then another time when we got on the plane.

听第10段材料,回答第17至20题。

M:I’m going to talk to you about adventure racing as my part of the project.There were races as far back as a hundred years ago and some new ones were started in the 1970s and 1980s.But people really have been doing adventure racing in large numbers since the early 1990s.Adventure racing is a mixture of different events—running,swimming,boating,climbing and cycling.Most of these races are held in mountains or deserts.The courses run over areas with little roads,few people,certainly no telephones or hotels.That makes a race more challenging.

Well,perhaps it won’t surprise you,but I want to go to New Zealand and compete in the South Island Race,where you run,cycle and boat for 160 miles.If the race sounds hard to you,remember it only takes 24 hours to finish the whole course.I say “only” because some of them last as long as ten days.That’s really extreme.I’d say that three days would be my maximum.Competitors have to carry everything they need with them—clothes,food and drinks—and if they run out,they just go hungry and thirsty.On long races,my impression is that the greatest problem is to prevent falling asleep.In fact,I’ve heard people go to sleep while they’re riding a bike.
