Directions: In Section B, you will hear two short passages, and you will be asked three questions on each of the passages. The passages will be read twice, but the questions will be spoken only once. When you hear a question, read the four possible answers on your paper and decide which one would be the best answer to the question you have heard.

原文：
With than a fascinating past and more than four centuries of history, St. Augustine is one of the nation’s oldest cities and an American treasure. Located on Florida’s Atlantic coast, it is home to many fine examples of European architecture and wild scenic views.
In 1513, while looking for the storied fountain of youth, an explorer found this land and called it La Florida, and claimed it for Spain. Then, in 1565, a Spanish conqueror established a settlement there, and named it St. Augustine.
Except for a 20-year period of English rule, Florida remained under Spanish rule until the United States took control in 1821. In the years after its founding, the city of St. Augustine was attacked by the French and English and by native Americans.
You are said to have shot flaming arrows at the city’s defensive building, setting it on fire.
More recently, nature has stricken the region with hurricanes. Matthew on 2016 and Erma in 2017. Still, St. Augustine endures.
After the region recovers, visitors shouldn’t overlook it. St. Augustine has suffered much in its long history. Hopefully, visitors will come and perhaps support the Florida’s coast recovery while discovering its centuries of history and miles of coastal beauty.

Questions:
11. Which country first governed Florida in history?
12. Which of the following statements is true of St. Augustine?
13. What is the passage mainly about?
解析：本篇文章是高三课堂听力板块的时间线叙事划分层次结构专题。时间线叙事文章，重点在于对于全文主旨的把握和重要事件的时间对应。本题难点在于第二点，必须听到细节，往往需要听两遍来定夺，不用急。也是听力section B常出难题的地方。

原文：
Transport for London has a lost property office, which collects the items left behind as people flow through the city’s transport system each day. It is the biggest lost property office in Europe, beaten globally only by Tokyo’s. 65 staffs sort through hundreds of thousands of lost and forgotten items each at the office, which is run by Paul Coan.
According to the latest data, Coan’s team dealt with over 300,000 items in the first quarter of the year. As the data reveals, very few are claimed. For example, of the nearly 13,000 keys handed into the lost property last year, just under 1,400 were returned to their owners, says Coan.
Overall, 20% of stock is claimed within three months. After that time, stock becomes the property of transport for London. And it’s not necessarily the items you had expect.
A wander through the three basement floors that make up the lost property office gives us some idea of what we value enough to recover and what we’re happy to let go.
Coan has discovered something interesting about the complexity of lost shoes. He said, if you have one shoe, you are more likely to go looking for the other. If you lose two shoes, well, it’s likely, out of sight, out of mind. He guesses many people regard loss as an opportunity to treat themselves to something new.

14: What is the passage mainly about?
15: Which of the following is true of the lost items?
16: According to Coan, why don’t some people get their lost shoes back?
解析：主旨题，接着又是which of the following is true, 细节听到就问题不大，往往需要听两遍来定夺，不用急。最后一题在文章的谚语处出题，听懂最后一句对谚语的解释即可。

W : I have a good feeling about this house.
M : If you like the outside, you are going to really love the inside

M: As your house agent, I’m here to take care of this process. How much are we planning the offering?
W: I really like the house. I will pay the full asking price of 380 thousand dollars.
M: we’d better leave ourselves some bargaining room. Let’s offer 350 thousand dollars.
W: that sounds good. But I don’t want this house to get away from me.
M: the market is fairly down right now. So your offer is a realistic one.
W: when will we know they accept the offer?
M: the owners usually respond to an offer within a few days.
W：Should I be contacting my bank in the mean time?
M：You’re already pre-qualified for your loan. So you are in good shape.
