Test1
Section A
11.W:What are you scratching your head for?
M:I’ve been racking my brains all morning trying to recall the name of the company that produces the portable computers,but in vain.
Q:What do we learn about the man?
[D]【解析】细节题。本题关键是要在听懂男士话语的基础上筛选出有用信息“回忆电脑厂家
的名字，但没有想出来”。其中，“racking my brains绞尽脑汁”是冗余信息，同时也是强干扰信息。所以，男士的问题是不记得电脑厂家的名字了，故选D。
12.M:I must be going now—I promised to pick up Nancy.
W:Since you’re going to pick up Nancy from the fitness class,why don’t you kill two birds with one stone and pick up Peter after his ballet class?
Q:What does the woman mean?
[C]【解析】习语理解题。此题的关键是理解kill two birds with one stone的含义为“一石二鸟，
一箭双雕，一举两得”，言下之意是让男士顺便把Nancy和Peter一起接回来。故选C。
13.W:What does the paper say about the hijacking incident?
M:It ended with the death of the three kidnappers.All the passengers and crewmembers landed on their feet finally.It was still a huge terror for most of the passengers.
Q:What do we know about the passengers?
[D]【解析】细节题。此题关键在于抓住landed on their feet的含义“安全着陆”。故选D。
14.M:The question of having a handgun raises a lot of discussion in this country.Dr.Brown,what’s
your opinion about it?
W:Well,as far as I am concerned,the law on this should be amended.
Q:What’s the most probable relationship between the two speakers?
[B]【解析】身份关系题。Dr.Brown被问及对个人拥有枪支的看法，她说应该修改法规，所以
很可能是记者在采访她。故选B。
15.M:What a pity it was that you couldn’t come to dinner with us at that new French restaurant
yesterday.The food was wonderful,the atmosphere was warm,and we all agreed that you should have been there,too.
W:I’m sorry,but I just didn’t feel up to it.I caught a terrible flu and thought I would be better off just staying at home.
Q:Why didn’t the woman go to dinner?
[D]【解析】根据关键信息didn’t feel up“身体感觉不好”或者caught a terrible flu“得了流感”，
应选D。既然是待在家里了，那么C肯定不对；而男士的话意思非常明白，是邀请她去，所以B错；A根本就于原文无据。
16.W:They are going to tear down our apartment building.I’ve got to move out before next
weekend.But I just don’t have any clue about housing.
M:Well,my brother is a real estate agent.I know he can help you out.Why don’t you and I go to see him?
Q:What do we learn about the woman?
[D]【解析】①事实细节题。关键是听到女士的话“我得搬出去了”，以及“没有头绪”。故选
D。②本题属于反常规出题：其一，并没有就第二个谈话者的话发问；其二，也没有就建议句型提问。特别要当心这种题目。
17.W:Jack,what a strange suit you are wearing!Your jacket doesn’t match your pants.
M:I know.I got dressed in the dark,and I didn’t realize my mistake until I had got to the office.
And I can do nothing about it right now.
Q:What does the woman think of the way Jack’s dressed?
[D]【解析】细节题。关键是听懂女士的话“你的夹克衫和你的裤子不配”，所以答案选D。男
士所说的in the dark是指自己“摸黑”穿衣服，而不是指衣服是黑色的，故B不对。18.M:I’m going to the museum Sunday afternoon.There is a new exhibition of art from France and
England.Do you want to go with me?
W:I’d like to.But my best friend is getting married in the Pacific Hotel and I wouldn’t miss it for anything.
Q:What is the woman going to do this Sunday afternoon?
[B]【解析】听到I’d like to...But...句型，立刻可以判断，这位女士不能接受邀请去博物馆，but
后面说明原因“她的密友要结婚，无论如何她都不能不去”。故选B。
Conversation One
W:Good morning,class.Today I thought we would talk about something bright and cheerful—the sun.Can anyone tell me how you feel when it’s sunny compared to how you feel when it’s cloudy?
M:I find that it’s a lot easier to get up in the morning if it’s sunny.
W:Well,what if I told you that it would rain for weeks on end with no break.
M:I don’t think I would like that very much.
W:Most of the articles we read lately regarding the sun are discussing the negative effects of staying in the sun for too long,saying that ultraviolet radiation from the sun is a major cause of skin cancer.[19]Although these articles are factual,the sun does have some positive side effects as well.As a matter of fact some scientists believe sunlight may reduce the risk of several types of cancer.
M:Excuse me,but many articles that I’ve read state that it can take as little as30minutes to get a sunburn.
W:True,but in small doses,the sun can be quite healthy for you.In fact,recent studies have found that[19]/[20]sunlight can actually help protect you from certain types of cancer such as breast and stomach.More importantly,[21]the sun also provides us with our main source of Vitamin D.
M:Well,I don’t need to worry about vitamins because I take multi-vitamins every day.
W:That’s great,but wouldn’t it be better if you didn’t have to take them and you were able to get vitamins in a more natural way such as food and the sun?
M:Does that mean we should spend all day in the sun without any protection?
W:No,[21]spending roughly ten minutes per day in the sun should be enough to supply us with all the Vitamin D that we need.
19.What does the teacher mainly want to tell her students in this class?
[D]【解析】①老师在承认长时间晒太阳的害处后强调的是其益处，答案为D。②说法过于绝
对的选项不能选，可直接排除B。另外有悖常识的选项一般也不能选，可排除C。
20.What kind of cancer may the sunlight protects us from?
[A]【解析】A是老师提到阳光可以防御癌症后列举的例子之一。B是曝晒导致的。
21.What is the main function of sunshine when concerned with our bodies?
[B]【解析】B
①为两次提及的明示信息，特别是最后重申时应该重视。A只是男士的一种感
②属于对话后半段的高频词汇，往往就是答案。
受。Vitamin D
Conversation Two
W:2million high school seniors are gearing up this fall to apply to nearly3,500US colleges.So, which are the strongest academically and toughest to get into?Well,the Princeton Review ranks The Best361Colleges.Robert Frank is the lead author.Rob,good morning,good to see you again.
M:Well.Thanks for having me back.
W:So let’s take a look at some of the strongest academic schools.Reed College in Portland,Oregon scores highest marks.Why is it?
M:Reed College is a great school.[22]There are only1,300students,but it’s a wonderful liberal arts school.We went directly to students,and they told us that their professors were great,both inside as well as outside the classroom.
W:About ten students per class?
M:Yeah![22]It’s averaged ten to one,student to faculty ratio.So it is certainly small and they pride themselves on their relationships with the professors.
W:All right!Ivy Leagues did very well in other categories as well,[23]like toughest schools to get into and top in that list,MIT was first,followed then by Yale,Princeton,and Harvard,second, third,and fourth respectively.
M:That’s right.
W:[24]Students at Princeton University are happiest with their financial aid packages.So what are they doing differently?
M:One of the most aggressive policies that Princeton has put into place over the last couple of years is matching students aid packages,so that they need to be allowed to get that aid package for every student.
W:All right!Now speaking of beautiful campuses,Pepperdine scored top,right?
M:[25]It’s a lovely campus,right on the beach.
22.Why does Reed College score highest marks?
[C]【解析】选项描述的是学校的特征，对话的主题是最好的361所学校，因此肯定会提到几
所学校的信息。C是对提及的第一所学校的特征概括。
23.Which school is the toughest to get into?
[A]【解析】①选项都是学校名，应该一一记录听到的相关信息：A旁边记下first（或者数字1），
D2，C4，然后仔细听问题。②排名第一和最后的往往被考查。
24.What makes the students at Princeton University the happiest ones?
[B]【解析】选项均为学校优势，应该注意与哪个学校相关。A是Reed College的特征，Princeton
的信息与B一致。
25.What is the feature of Pepperdine?
[D]【解析】D是最后一句的再现。
Section B
Passage One
For a very long time America has led the world in higher education,quantitatively at least.
[26]In1825England still had only two universities:Oxford and Cambridge.However at the same time,the United States already had over fifty colleges for a smaller population.By now,in addition to hundreds of junior colleges,teachers’colleges and special schools,there are over2,000 universities,colleges or other such institutions in America.They may be big or small,public or private,famous or obscure.Rapid development of higher education,a common feature in contemporary societies,is continuing at such a rate that[27]America looks like being far ahead of Europe for a very long time.At that time,the overwhelming demand for higher education among American people contributed a lot to its rapid development.[28]The growing demand for highly qualified people in an ever-more-complex modern society and the declining opportunities for the less-well-qualified,together with the growth in the total numbers of young people caused by the high birth-rate around1950to1960,brought the total number of students to ten million by the1970s.By 1972almost half of all people aged18and19were in full-time education,though only one-sixth of the people then aged25to29had completed four years at“college”.However,future growth is likely to be slower.
26.What is the difference in higher education between America and England in1825?
[D]【解析】细节题。1825年英国只有2所大学，美国已经有50多所，故D正确。
27.Which is character of higher education in America according to the passage?
[C]【解析】细节题。短文主要就是讲美国的higher education，可以听到这样一个评价：“看起
来美国一直远远领先于欧洲。”故C正确。
28.What’s the reason for the rise in student numbers in the1970s?
[C]【解析】细节题。短文列举了20世纪70年代时美国大学生人数增加的多个原因，其中一
个就是“The growing demand for highly qualified people...对高素质人才需求的增长”。因此C正确。
Passage Two
The private motor vehicle has given us a freedom our ancestors could not dream about.We can travel swiftly,and usually safely,over the roads which have been built to accommodate our cars. People can display their wealth by driving a car which may cost as much as another person’s home.
[29]Sadly the car has become a disadvantage as well as a boon.The car pollutes the atmosphere, may be involved in serious accidents,and by its very numbers blocks roads.[29]How can we reduce its use?The car is only desirable if we can use it easily,so we might begin by reducing access to parking spaces in the cities and simultaneously increasing the quality and availability of public transport.Cars could be banned from certain parts of the city,thus forcing people to walk or to use public transport.The expense of buying and running a car can be raised.[30]If the motorist is faced with a high purchase price,high road tax,high insurance premiums and substantial fines he or she
may reconsider the purchase.A corresponding reduction in the price of public transport would help this financial argument against car ownership.
Neither of these arguments will sway the super rich who can afford the status cars,but it would perhaps encourage them to look at other ways of demonstrating their wealth.[31]However we do it, reducing the number of cars on the road will reduce the problems of pollution and the congestion which can bring cities to a standstill.
29.What does the speaker focus on?
[B]【解析】主旨题。虽然开头提到了拥有私家车的好处，但是sadly之后就重点讲述其
disadvantages以及如何控制其数量，故B正确。
30.What factor might hinder most people’s consideration of purchasing private cars?
[A]【解析】听到了很多种制约因素，最后一条与A相符。B和C与原文意思相反。D属无中
生有，注意insurance coverage（保险责任范围）不同于文中的insurance premiums（保险金）。
31.What would be the result if the number of private cars is reduced?
[C]【解析】录音最后总结的两大好处就是C。
Passage Three
When Midori was two years old,she often climbed onto the piano bench and reached for the violin that belonged to[32]her mother,a30-year-old professional musician.“Please don’t touch, Midori,”her mother scolded.[33]The violin was,after all,worth more than$20,000.But Midori persisted.She longed to handle the graceful instrument that made beautiful sounds.Finally,on her third birthday,Midori was handed a package,a tiny violin,about half the normal size.
Almost from the moment Midori was born,her mother knew she was sensitive to music.For several years mother and daughter practiced together day after day.She was eager to learn.Failure often led to tears,though she never once turned from the instrument.Instead,she persisted until the problem was overcome.
One day Johnson,an American musician,heard Midori playing the violin.He couldn’t believe she was just eight years old.[34]“She must make a tape and I will take it to the United States.”the American musician said.A famous American violin teacher heard the tape.He,too,had difficulty believing his ears.The playing was absolutely astonishing.[35]He immediately accepted her as a pupil and recommended her for a full scholarship.Thus in1982,Midori and her mother moved to New York City,leaving behind a comfortable life in Japan.
32.What did Midori’s mother do?
[D]【解析】①细节题。短文开篇就提到Midori小时候喜欢玩妈妈的小提琴，她妈妈那时是一
个年仅30岁的职业音乐人（a30-year-old professional musician）。因此D为正确答案。②读选项可预测是问人物的身份。
33.Why was Midori forbidden to touch her mother’s violin when she was only two years old?
[A]【解析】推理题。录音提到，“The violin was,after all,worth more than$20,000毕竟小提琴
价值2万多美元”，所以Midori的妈妈不让她碰，故A为正确答案。
34.What did Johnson ask Midori to do?
[D]【解析】①细节题。Johnson听了Midori的演奏后说“She must make a tape...她应该去录制
磁带”，故选D。②根据不定式选项预测，问题应该是问将来的行为动作。听音时注意是
“谁”让“谁”做什么。
35.Why did Midori move to the United States?
[C]【解析】细节题。一位著名的美国小提琴教师听了磁带后“马上收她为学生并给她申请了
全额奖学金”。因此，1982年Midori和妈妈迁往纽约。

36.obsession
【解析】空格前的an提示此处应填入可数名词的单数形式。obsession意为“困扰，迷惑”。

38.neglect

M:You just took the words out of my mouth.Let’s try to persuade the others to see things our way.

Q:What do we learn about the woman?
[C]【解析】本题谈话中所给信息比较繁杂，关键还在于听到女士所说的“I’m also addicted to it”，
可见她现在也迷上了看电视，所以答案选C。

M:I’ve been taking a history course this term.But the trouble is that I’ll never get through the reading list.I just don’t know whether I could survive the final.

Conversation One
W:I don’t understand how the inventor earns money from the invention.[19]After all,anyone can copy and sell it.Really,what is a patent?A piece of paper?A philosophy?You can’t see it.
M:I am glad you asked that.Actually when an inventor has a patent,it’s enforceable by the laws in the country where the inventor developed the invention.If anyone makes and sells the product then the inventor can take them to civil court.
W:What can the inventor expect to receive if he sues and wins?
M:Well,there are different things the court could do,but there’s no guarantee.There’s a good chance[20]the court could award him compensation and orders to stop the manufacture and sale of goods.It may well be that the goods would be ordered to be destroyed.
W:Can the other person being sued do anything to help themselves?
M:That’s the beauty of the whole thing.Ignorance of the law doesn’t count,I’m afraid.However, the other person can counter-sue pretending that they were actually the original inventor.
W:You said the inventor is protected by the laws of the country.Is everything equal?Do all countries have the same law?
M:No,they’re not all equal.You’re right.It’s only in theory.It is being worked on.The World Trade Organization has developed an agreement,Trade-Related Aspects of Intellectual Property Rights,which makes sure that the patent is valid for20years.
W:That doesn’t make sense.Twenty years is a long time.
M:Actually,it does.[21]It’s believed that inventors make and sell goods faster after they register the patent because there’s a20-year limitation on the patent.On the other hand,other inventors can use the information the inventor disclosed when the product was registered.Giving the information is all part of the deal.
W:Cool.
19.Why can the woman hardly understand that an inventor earns money from the invention?
[A]【解析】女士开头就表达了自己的疑惑：因为任何人都可以复制和销售某种发明，发明者
怎么赚钱呢?A是对她困惑的原因的同义表达。
20.What may the court ask the sued person to do?
①中的compensation是明确听到的，就是答案。②通过预读选项，根据动词原
[B]【解析】B
形及宾语中的inventor可知，动作发出者应该是“盗版者”。注意听提及的其他人的动作。
21.How does a valid time span of a patent influence the inventor?
[C]【解析】关键是抓听到对话末尾男士提到的inventors make and sell goods faster，选项C是
其近义改写。
Conversation Two
M:Hi,Queenie,how are you enjoying yourself at university?
W:Hi,Jack,it’s a lot of work.But I am having a good time.Are you planning to attend college next year?
M:Yeah.Can you tell me what facilities they have for disabled students?My wheelchair doesn’t always allow me to get into buildings.
W:You should inquire at Student Services.[22]They can discuss your medical history with you confidentially and make allowances.My friends Shannon and Rosie use computers to do their exams,so in your case,I’m sure it would not be a problem.
M:What about the wheelchair access?
W:[23]The newer buildings have elevators and wide doors,but the older buildings have not been upgraded to accommodate handicapped people as far as I know.What faculty are you planning to go into?
M:I am thinking of doing engineering.
W:Hmm.Engineering is in the old Adams building.I don’t know if there is an elevator.
M:Do the buses that go out to campus have facilities to bring wheelchairs on board?
W:Yes,that I know for sure.[24]All the buses are equipped with electronic lifts,and there are seats that fold back.
M:What about the sidewalks?
W:I think most of the sidewalks have been leveled at the corners,so you could probably use your wheelchair,but I am not sure.In fact,if you would like,[25]why don’t you come with me?I’ll be taking the bus and[25]I could show you around once we got there.
M:That’s really nice of you,Raphel.I’d really like that.
W:Okay,I will come to your house about8:30in the morning and we can take the commuter train into town,then catch the bus up to the university.
M:Great,I look forward to it.
22.What would the Student Services do with the man?
[A]【解析】由于男士为残疾学生，学生服务处会跟他私下商谈如何帮助他，因此A为答案，
privately是原文confidentially的同义词。
23.What are the differences between the new teaching buildings and the old ones,according to the woman?
[C]【解析】原文在对新旧建筑进行比较时只提到了elevators and wide doors，因此含elevators
的C为答案。男士关心的是自己坐着轮椅能否出入教学楼，女士也应该围绕这方面提供信息。
24.What is the feature of buses that go to the campus?
①为原文equipped with electronic lifts的同义表达。②观察选项，根据各选项的
[B]【解析】B
关键词可预测问题是关于车辆的情况，听到buses时应该注意后面的信息。
25.What’s the purpose of Queenie’s appointment with Jack?
[D]【解析】D为原文show...around的同义表达。
Section B
Passage One
[26]One of the complaints of city residents,not surprisingly,is the lack of parking.This problem is partly caused by all the abandoned cars on the streets.It has been estimated by A to Z Towing Inc.,a nationwide tow-truck agency,that over one million cars are abandoned on the streets and alleyways of the nation’s cities.Each year,approximately a third of those cars are removed and destroyed.[27]The rest of the cars,which are not removed,take up parking spaces and make neighborhoods look run-down.
A survey of twenty cities by A to Z reports that as much as30million dollars is spent annually to tow away and dismantle abandoned vehicles.One city alone,Los Angeles,spends five million dollars a year to control the accumulation of abandoned cars on its streets.Even though the city spends so much money on the program,it is always fighting a losing battle as more and more cars are constantly coming off the production line.
On the other hand,Boston,which spends most of its money on museums and libraries,does not appropriate tax money to clean abandoned cars off the streets.[28]In Boston the problem has been dealt with by a non-profit government agency called Street Horizons,which uses the money from the recycling of metal in the cars to pay for the cost of towing them.The program in Boston sounds good although it has not completely reached financial independence from the federal government yet. Until a truly self-sufficient program for removing old cars is developed,it will remain a serious problem.
26.What is the problem with abandoned cars?
[C]【解析】推断题。文章开篇就指出城市居民经常抱怨停车场地少，其中一个原因就是由街
上被抛弃的旧车所致，故C为正确答案。
27.What does A to Z Towing Inc.say about the abandoned cars?
[C]【解析】短文提到，A to Z Towing Inc.估计有100多万辆车被遗弃在大街小巷，每年大约有
1/3被拖走或销毁，剩下的车没有拖走。由此可知没拖走的车所占比例约为2/3，故C正确。选项D的little与短文接下来提到的各个城市花费了大量的金钱来处理abandoned cars 不符。
28.How has Boston dealt with the abandoned cars?
[B]【解析】细节题。在波士顿，这一问题由一家名为Street Horizons的非赢利性政府机构通
过回收利用废旧汽车来解决，故B为正确答案。
Passage Two
The podcast revolution is erupting all over the world—and seemingly all at once.[29]Why is it getting so popular?The technology is simple to master and podcasting software is inexpensive,
sometimes even free.Two Chinese students are receiving international fame as millions of people around the world watch them podcast from their dormitory.They are called the Back Dormitory Boys,and they specialize in mouthing Backstreet Boys’songs.Although most people in China don’t have iPods,podcasting is sweeping the country.[30]The Back Dormitory Boys are among the thousands of Chinese who are putting their own homemade audio and video up on the Internet for all to enjoy.“You just gotta love two guys making a fool of themselves,and gaining international attention,”said“Good Morning America”technology expert Becky Worley.The Internet is becoming more and more popular with China’s youth;[31]about60percent of the100million Chinese who use the Internet are under the age of24.“This generation grew up with values that are very,very similar to their peers in the United States,”said Huang Hung,publisher of Time Out Beijing.“You’re going to see a complete change in the cultural landscape of China.”Already, podcasting has taken off in the United States.Earlier this year,19-year-old Gary Brolsma skyrocketed to Internet fame with what he calls his“Numa Numa”dance—a lip sync to a Romanian pop song.
29.Why is podcasting sweeping the world?
[B]【解析】细节题。文章开篇提出设问句“Why it is getting so popular?”；紧接着给出了解释：
播客技术简单而且价廉。
30.What does podcasting mean according to the speaker?
[A]【解析】细节题。说话者以“后舍男孩”为例，解释了类似“后舍男孩”把自录的影像材
料放到因特网上的行为是播客行为。故A为正确答案。
31.Why does the speaker hold that the Internet is very popular among young people in China?
[A]【解析】细节兼数字题。在说到播客在中国年轻人中流行时，说话者给出了一个具体数据

Passage Three
During a state of deep relaxation,several physiological changes take place in the body:the body’s oxygen consumption is reduced;the heart beat decreases;muscle tension and sweating ease, and there is decreased sympathetic nervous system activity.[32]The restful state not only allows the body to repair and restore itself,but it has a calming effect on the consciousness.How to achieve this state of relaxation,however,is a matter of opinion.[33]A recent report by Dr.David Holmes of the University of Kansas in the journal American Psychologist said that simply sitting in an armchair has just as many beneficial characteristics for the body as meditation does.Researchers of other relaxation techniques disagree.[34]These experts believe that more structured techniques,such as meditation,lead to a condition of deep relaxation.The debate goes on,but one thing appears to be clear:the relaxation response can be reached by a number of methods,and the methods themselves are not as important as getting there.One day,one method may work best;on another day,an alternative method may be more appropriate.[35]Once you are aware of all the methods,you can find the one that works best for you.Some of the relaxation techniques are meditation,self-analysis and progressive muscle relaxation.Although these techniques may not,in the end,produce more of a relaxation response than just sitting quietly in a chair,[35]they have the added benefit of structure and discipline,and for these reasons appear to be more effective for most individuals.
32.What will happen when a person is in a state of deep“relaxation”?
[D]【解析】细节题。短文列举了relaxation给身体带来的一系列变化，然后总结说：“这种放
松状态……还能对意识起到镇定的效果。”因此D为答案。
33.What did Dr.David Holmes say about“relaxation”in American Psychologist?
[C]【解析】细节题。短文提到，堪萨斯州大学的Dr.David Holmes最近在发表于American
Psychologist上的一篇报告中说：“仅仅是坐在扶手椅上就能得到无异于冥想给人体带来的益处。”A是说话者自己的观点；B利用characteristics作干扰；而D在文中并未提及。
34.What do the opponents of Dr.David Holmes believe?
[A]【解析】细节题。Dr.David Holmes的观点出现，听到了其他研究者disagree，则应留意听
他们所持的相反观点。A是原文的同义表达。
35.What does the speaker think of“relaxation techniques”such as meditation?
[B]【解析】推断题。结尾处speaker指出：一旦你知道这些方法，就总会找到适合自己的锻炼
方法；而且这些方法在身体组织和身心锻炼方面更有益处，所以对于大多数人而言更为有益。由此推断B正确。A、C在文中均未提及；D与原文相悖。

Test3
Section A
11.M:I’m looking for an unfurnished two-bedroom apartment.But all your apartments are
furnished.
W:We can take care of that.We can simply remove the furniture.
Q:What does the woman mean?
[D]【解析】男士想要不带家具的两居室房子，女士说可以把家具撤走，故选D。对话没提价
钱，故A错；男士不希望furnished，故B、C错。
12.W:I don’t agree with Mr.Johnson on his views about social welfare.He seemed to suggest that
the poor are robbing the rich.
M:He might have used better words to express his ideas,but I find what he said makes a lot of sense.
Q:What does the man mean?
[B]【解析】此题关键在于听懂“make a lot of sense很有道理”，即B“非常同意Johnson的观
点”，故A错；而女士不同意，故D错；男士说Johnson应该措辞得当，说明C错。13.W:I’ve been studying all the time,but still can’t see any improvement in my grades.
M:Maybe instead of studying in your dorm,you’d better go some place where there are fewer distractions.
Q:What does the man advise the woman to do?
[A]【解析】男士用了you’d better句型表达建议，“go some place where there are fewer
distractions”说明他觉得女士现在学习的地方干扰较多，所以应该找个安静的地方学习，故选A，而不是D“在宿舍学习时避免干扰”。
14.W:The seminar originally scheduled for today has been canceled.The hours I spent preparing
for it are totally wasted.
M:Not really.As far as I know,it’s been postponed till next week.
Q:What does the man say about the seminar?
[A]【解析】本题考查postpone和put off的同义替换。A正确。
15.M:Hi,Janet.I hear you’ve just returned from a tour of Australia.Did you get a chance to visit
the Sydney Opera House?
W:Of course I did.It would be a shame for anyone visiting Australia not to see this unique
creation in architecture.Its magnificent beauty is simply beyond description.
Q:What do we learn from the conversation?
[C]【解析】本对话的话题是Sydney Opera House,unique creation in architecture“建筑学上独特
的创作”和magnificent beauty beyond description“难以描述的美”，这些用词充分表达了女士对悉尼歌剧院的赞美。对话主题不是泛泛而谈landscape或architecture，故A、B错；
Janet说visiting Australia的游客不参观Sydney Opera House很遗憾，而不是D“不到澳大利亚很遗憾”。
16.M:Sherry,how are you doing with your thesis?
W:Oh,my thesis!That’s something I definitely don’t want to talk about right now.I finished my first draft some time ago,but my supervisor said I should do more research if I want to
achieve the quality he expects of me.
Q:What do we learn from the conversation about the woman’s thesis?
[D]【解析】女士不想谈她的thesis，说明有问题，故可排除A和B；对话中只提到她的supervisor，
没有提到很多人，故C错；假设条件句“if I want to achieve the quality he expects of me”
说明现在还没achieve the quality he expects of me，即D“她的论文没有达到导师的期望值”。
17.W:I can’t believe Karen is late for such an important occasion as a job interview.I reminded her
time and again yesterday.
M:You should have known her better by now—everything you tell her goes in one ear and out the other.
Q:What does the man imply?
[A]【解析】女士说她提醒Karen多次，但她还是面试迟到了，男士说“everything you tell her goes
in one ear and out the other你跟她说的话她左耳朵进右耳朵出”意即“听完了就忘，不往心里去”，故选A，而非D，更不可能是C；此外，should have known her better为虚拟语气，意为“本该更了解她了”，而非陈述语气的B。
18.W:Hi,Joe.I wonder if you could do me a favor and tell the professor I’ve lost my voice so I
can’t attend this morning’s class.I need the time to study for tomorrow’s exam.
M:I don’t think it’s wise to say so,since you are not going to give the lecture.You might as well simply skip the class and apologize to the professor later.
Q:What will the woman probably do?
[B]【解析】女士想让Joe转告教授，她嗓子说不出话，不能上课。以此为借口赢得时间准备
明天的考试，而男士建议她还是逃课好了，事后再向教授道歉，所以女士很可能为了准备考试而逃课，即B。A错在让Joe替她道歉；C是原本的打算。
Conversation One
M:Hi Jane,please come in and take a seat.
W:Well,you would like to check the progress of the website-design,right?
M:Yes,but it seems that we’ve got some problems with the BBS.[19]The part-time web designer was not as good as what we had thought before.She informed us just now that she could not complete this task.
W:Well,didn’t you talk with her about what she should do at the beginning?
M:Not really.[20]She was recommended by Sampson and from what he told me,she sounded to be
pretty qualified to do the job.I’m not asking for a terrific web design but to build up a structure with all the basic elements of web design.
W:Did you ask her why she wasn’t frank with you in the beginning if[19]she couldn’t do the BBS? M:I did.[21]But she said it was a communication problem.
W:So now what do you plan to do since she got the job half done?
M:On one side,I will not pay her full fees since she wasn’t honest with me in the beginning.On the other side,I have to search around for another guy to complete the job.
W:I agree.That should also teach her a lesson.For us,[22]I think we had better turn to our Part-time Job Center for help.There,we can get a professional to work at it.
19.What problem did the speakers encounter?
[D]【解析】根据选项可以预测出问题：他们遇到了什么困难？话题与BBS,website-design,
website designer有关，因此听到对话中提及problems with the BBS时就要注意后文的具体解释：part-time web designer是主要问题所在，即D中的temporary website designer。她不会建BBS这一信息在对话中反复出现，此题不难作答。
20.How did the man find the website designer?
[B]【解析】根据选项可以大致预测出问题：“她”是通过什么途径来参与“他”的项目。B是
能听到的，只是把原文的具体人名模糊化了。A有一定的干扰性，但文中并未提及“她”
与推荐人是亲戚关系。
21.What did the part-time web designer explain about the situation?
[C]【解析】根据选项可以大致预测出问题是“她”对某事的态度。当女士问男士是否询问过
兼职网站设计员为何一开始没表明自己能力不够时，男士用间接引语引述她的理由是communication problem，即C中的miscommunication。
22.What did the woman suggest they do in the end?
[A]【解析】选项为动词原形，一般考打算、建议、要求。在对话最后，男士说了两条打算，
女士提了一条建议，A与后者一致，为答案。C有一定的干扰性，但原文中没有with better pay的依据。
Conversation Two
M:I didn’t see you in creative writing class today.What happened?
W:Oh,just a dentist appointment.That’s all.Say,did we get a new assignment for next week?
M:Yeah.A really interesting one,actually.[23]We’re supposed to write a short story that has some sort of limitation or,or,constraints imposed on it.
W:What do you mean?Like rhyming in a poem?
M:Well,that’ll be an idea.But what we write has to be prose,like prose poetry.Just to make rhyme in a poem is too easy,I guess.I think Prof.Eliot really wants to challenge us,to put our creativity to the test.
W:Well,did she give any hints about what she has in mind?
M:Not really,[24]but I may have an idea of the kind of thing she’s looking for.I just finished a really strange book by some French guy.He wrote a whole book without even using a single e. W:A whole book without a single e?How’s it possible?But,wait a minute.I didn’t know you can read French.
M:I can’t.I read the English translation.But get this.There’s not one e in that either.
W:No way.Think of the words you couldn’t use.
M:I know,but that translator manages it.I got the book at home if you want to check out for yourself.[25]What’s really amazing to me is that leaving e in French is no easy job and doing it in English is gonna involve a complete different group of words.It’s a real work of mind.
W:Sometime you have to show me that book.But right now I’d better get going on the writing for next week.
23.What are the speakers assigned to write?
[A]【解析】男士说：“我们要写一篇短篇故事。但是我们写的必须是散文，就像散文诗一样。”
根据对话中的short story以及prose得出正确答案为A。
24.Why did the man mention a book by a French author?
[D]【解析】四个选项共同的成分是it，根据选项内容可以判断it是可以阅读的内容，故问题
应该和阅读的报刊杂志或书相关。男士说：“但是我想到她可能想要的东西。我刚读完一个法国人写的一本相当奇怪的书。”故D正确。
25.What point does the man make about the letter e?
[B]【解析】四个选项都有it，根据选项内容判断在此的it应该指单词或是字母。男士说：“真
正让我诧异的是在法语中不使用e一点都不简单，而且在把它翻译成英语时也不使用e 需要完全不同的单词。真的是很费脑筋。”故答案是B。
Section B
Passage One
[26]Both John and Sue joined the staff of a successful public relation’s firm in New York during the same year.They had just completed their PR degrees at a nearby university and were thrilled to be hired by one of the finest PR firms in the city.John’s first assignment was to create a promotion campaign for a client who was to put in a new game on the market.Initially Sue was assigned to work with a sportswear company on the marketing concept for its newest line of clothing.As time passed and work with their respective first clients became more and more difficult,John and Sue realized that they had been assigned two of the toughest accounts in town.Although John completed his assignment quickly and successfully,[27]he was furious when he learned that the boss had deliberately assigned him a difficult account.In response,he not only complained to his colleagues, but also to the boss’s secretary.Sue,on the other hand,had a more difficult time satisfying her first client and she took several additional months to actually complete the project.However,she just laughed when she heard that the boss had made the assignments purposely.Over the next two years John worked reluctantly with each assignment and problem that he encountered.[28]Sue accepted each assignment cheerfully and when problems arose she responded with her characteristic,“No problem,I can handle it.”Although Sue took longer to complete her projects than John and both were equally successful on the assignments they completed,[29]Sue was given the first promotion when there came a vacancy.
26.What’s the relationship between John and Sue now?
[B]【解析】录音提到，John和Sue加入了一间成功的public relation公司。由此可知他们是同
事，即B。
27.Why was John furious after he finished his first assignment?
[C]【解析】录音提到，当John得知老板故意分配他去接待一个难缠的客户时，他很恼火，因
此C“他觉得老板对他不公平”正确。根据“Sue,on the other hand,had a more difficult time satisfying her first client”可知A错。
28.What’s Sue’s attitude to difficult tasks?
[C]【解析】录音提到，Sue开心地接受了每一次的任务，当问题出现时，她通常会回答：“没
问题，我可以处理。”由此可选C。其他选项基本上是John的态度。
29.How does the story end?
[A]【解析】录音结尾提到，职位出现空缺时，Sue获得了第一次晋升。因此答案为A。
Passage Two
American visitors to East Asia are often surprised and puzzled by how Asian cultures and customs differ from those in the United States.What’s considered typical or proper social conduct in one country may be regarded as odd,improper or even rude in the other.For example,[30]people from some East Asian countries may begin a conversation with a stranger by asking personal questions about family,home or work.Such questions are thought to be friendly whereas they might be considered offensive in the United States.On the other hand,people in most Asian cultures are far more guarded about expressing their feelings publicly than most Americans are.[31]Openly displaying annoyance or anger,yelling,arguing loudly and so forth is considered ill-mannered in countries such as Japan.Many East Asians prefer to hold their emotions in check and instead express themselves with great politeness.They try not to be blunt and avoid making direct criticisms.In fact, they often keep their differences of opinion to themselves and merely smile and remain silent rather than engage in a confrontation.By comparison,Americans are often frank about displaying both positive and negative emotions on the street and in other public places.Americans visiting Asia should keep in mind that such behavior may cause offense.A major difference between American culture and most East Asian cultures is that in East Asia the community is more important than the individual.[32]Most Americans are considered a success when they make a name for themselves.
30.How would some Asians start their conversation when they meet for the first time?
[D]【解析】录音提到，东亚国家的人与陌生人开展对话，可能会询问关于家庭或工作的一些
个人问题。由此可知答案为D。
31.What would a Japanese do when he feels annoyed?
[A]【解析】录音提到，明显表示烦恼或生气、叫喊、大声争辩等，在日本等一些国家被视为
没礼貌，许多东亚人更愿意把感情藏在心里，而表现的却是彬彬有礼。故答案为A。
32.What is encouraged in the American culture according to the passage?
[B]【解析】录音结尾提到，大部分美国人“make a name for themselves使自己出名”时，会被
认为成功了。故答案为B。
Passage Three
In order for a chemical to be considered a drug,it must have the capacity to affect how the body works.No substance that has the power to do this is completely safe.[33]Drugs are approved only after tests have demonstrated that they are relatively safe when used as directed and when their benefits outweigh their risks.Thus some very dangerous drugs are approved because they are necessary to treat serious illnesses.Many people suffer ill-effects from drugs called side-effects even
though they take the drugs exactly as directed.[34]The human population contains a great variety of genetic variation.But drugs are tested on just a few thousand people.When a particular drug is taken by millions,some people may not respond in a predictable way even though the drug has been tested.
[35]A patient may also acquire a tolerance for a certain drug,which means the patient has to take ever-larger doses to produce the desired effects.Tolerance may lead to heavy situation,in which a person becomes so dependent on the drug that he or she becomes addicted to it.Addiction causes severe psychological and physical disturbances when a drug is taken away.Finally,drugs often have unwanted side-effects.They usually cause only minor discomfort,such as a skin rash,headache or sleepiness.Certain drugs,however,can produce serious adversary actions.
33.Under what circumstances are drugs approved?
[D]【解析】短文听力常常是“听到什么选什么”。录音提到，药物只能在经过安全测试后，并
在指导下使用。故答案为B
34.Why do many people suffer side-effects from a drug even though they take it as directed?
[C]【解析】录音提到，人们按规定服药后会出现副作用，接着解释，人类包含了很多遗传变
异，但是药物测试只在部分人中间进行。由于可以概括出C。
35.What will happen when patients acquire a tolerance for a certain drug?
[A]【解析】录音提到，病人也可能会对某种药产生抗药性，这就意味着病人要加大剂量，以
达到预期的药效。由此可知答案为A。
Section C Compound Dictation
36.ordinary
【解析】此形容词意思与后文中的normality一致。注意字母组合or,元音字母i和a。
37.highlighted
【解析】此处需要动词过去式作谓语。highlight“使显著，突出”。
38.interview
【解析】此处需要一个元音开头的可数名词单数形式，interview在此意为“采访”。
39.precious
【解析】形容词作表语，precious此处可理解为“尊贵的，宝贝的，被宠爱的”。
40.presence
【解析】根据前面的所有格形式，此处需要一个名词。presence“出席，到场，存在”。41.apparently
【解析】此处需要一个副词。apparently不可受appear的影响而多写一个字母e。
42.uniform
【解析】此处需要一个名词。uni（only）+form=uniform（形式唯一的；制服）。
43.obvious
【解析】此处需要一个形容词。根据冒号后面的对比也可预测出意思是“明显的”：obvious。
44.Those who have met William remember two things about him:his shyness and his efforts to be normal
【听音关键】William,two things,shyness,efforts to be normal
【答案重构】Whoever have met William remember two things about him:his shyness and his efforts to be normal
【画龙点睛】第2个特点是文章中一再提及的信息，注意准确捕捉。
45.no official agreement has existed to protect his privacy,and he was heard to say at his graduation ceremony:“I’m going out into the big wide world”
【听音关键】no official agreement,protect his privacy,say,graduation ceremony,big wide world 【答案重构】there’s no official agreement to protect his privacy,and people heard him say at his graduation ceremony:“I’m going out into the big wide world”
【画龙点睛】直接引语最好不改动。
46.If he is his mother’s son,then his instincts and understanding could be the making of the royals 【听音关键】mother,instincts and understanding,making of the royals
【答案重构】If he is like his mother,then his instincts and understanding could be qualities of the royals
【画龙点睛】根据下文的father，此处应该提及mother，If he is his mother’s son其实就是If he is like his mother的意思，making此处指“素质”，可以替换成qualities。
Test4
Section A
11.M:What do you think of the government’s new tax cut proposal?
W:Though it may give some benefit to the poor,its key component is the elimination of tax on dividends.That means the rich will get richer.
Q:What does the woman think of the government’s tax cut proposal?
[C]【解析】本题正确答案的信息源在女士所说的话中，提醒考生注意的字眼是that means，答
案就在此提示词的后面“the rich will get richer”，四个选项当中与此意思相符的只有C，其中the rich就是C中的the wealthy。A属于原文不相干的词的拼凑，B根本未提及，D 为原文中dividend和cut的拼凑。
12.M:Jenny,remember this:a job worth doing at all is worth doing well.
W:Oh,yes,I certainly won’t forget it.But don’t expect me to stick to the job just because it pays a few more bucks.A life of continued exploration is a life worth living.
Q:What can be inferred about the woman from the conversation?
[B]【解析】这是一个间接推论题，间接推论题无论在听力还是在阅读中，答案一般都出现在
but后面，所以只要找到和but后面信息对应的选项就可以了。女士说，但别指望我会一心扑在工作上（But don’t expect me to stick to the job...），由此可见C不对；她进一步解释说，“A life of continued exploration is a life worth living.”这与B含义相同。故选B。A是男士的建议，D为无关信息，均不对。
13.M:I found that one of my schoolmates uses drugs.How can I help him,Mom?
W:Stay away from him,son.Never think that you can talk him out of the habit if he is addicted.
But perhaps you can talk to your teacher about the matter.
Q:What’s the woman’s advice to her son?
[D]【解析】答案依然落在女士所说的话上。祈使句stay away from对应D中的keep distance
from，而D中的drug addicts是指a person who is addicted（原文为if he is addicted）。A、
C为无关信息，B的意思恰好与原文“Never think that you can talk him out of the habit...”
相反。
14.W:I don’t know how you can eat so much yet never put on any weight,son.Your father’s got
the same luck.I can’t take a bite without calculating how many calories I am taking.
M:But remember Aunt Louise,Mom?She ate a lot and never gained a pound.
Q:Who is worried about gaining weight?
[C]【解析】女士先说儿子“never put on any weight”，接着对儿子说“Your father’s got the same
luck.”第3句使用了双重否定句强调自己却得计划着吃。而儿子的回答表明，Aunt Louise 也是吃得多而不发胖的。问题是问四个人当中谁担心gaining weight，显然只有Mom自己。
所以正确答案为C。
15.W:Did you turn off the lights and check the locks on all the doors?
M:Yes,I told the Johnsons’we’d be gone for two weeks.They promise to keep an eye on the house for us.
Q:What are the two speakers going to do?
[A]【解析】本题解题的关键在于听清楚男士“we’d be gone for two weeks”这一重要信息。其
余的信息“turn off the lights and check the locks on all the doors”以及“keep an eye on the house for us”都是在加强这一信息，所以正确答案为A，其中a couple of这个短语在听力中频频考查，往往与two呼应。B用原文中的部分信息check the locks进行干扰，C似乎是对keep an eye on the house的解释，但人称颠倒了，D为夸大事实。此外，固定习语keep an eye on（留心）也是需要掌握的。
16.M:Hurry up,Linda!I hear that there aren’t many tickets left for the football match.
W:I am ready now.Let’s go.It’s the early bird that catches the worm.
Q:Why did the man ask the woman to hurry up?
[C]【解析】本题中要听清男士的话“there aren’t many tickets left for the football match”，那么
只有C意思相符。同时，女士的话中出现了谚语“It’s the early bird that catches the worm”，意为“早起的鸟儿有虫吃；先到者先得”。这其实也加强了男士的话的含义。A是在用warm 进行近音干扰；B与原文毫不相干；D是利用原文中的单词重新编排构成音近/同音陷阱，game bird意为“猎鸟”。
17.W:Did you hear that the convenience store next to the gas station was held up last night?
M:Yes,I heard it on the radio this morning.
Q:What happened to the convenience store?
[B]【解析】本题考查的是短语hold up的特殊含义“抢劫”，即rob，故答案为B。
18.M:Congratulations!I just heard about your acceptance into law school.Do you think you would
join your brother’s firm after graduation?
W:Not likely.He is a tax lawyer,and I am going to major in criminal law.
Q:What does the woman mean?
[D]【解析】答案仍然落在女士所说的话上，但是这一次必须将女士所说的话照应男士所说的
话中的某些细节，才能得出答案，这种做法在以往的考试中是非常少见的。男士问：毕业后你是否会加入你哥哥的公司？女士说：“Not likely.”据此，正确答案为D。女士又解释她不会加入哥哥的公司的原因：她哥哥是税务律师，而她学的是刑法。A、B为含有原文词major和tax lawyer的干扰项，C原文没有提到。
