24. How does the girl know her father doesn’t like the pizza he prepared Questions 23 to 25 are based on the conversation you have just heard. 23. What does the conversation imply about the mother
【解析】选[C]。根据对话中提到的Now, your mom put me in charge of dinner because she’s not feeling well tonight可知，母亲身体不适，应该正在休息，故答案为[C]。
【点睛】[C] She is resting in bed.是根据she’s not feeling well tonight推断出来的。
M: Well, wait, wait, here let me try a piece first. Here, let me, let me cool this off here. Oh, yeah. Oh, this is great stuff.
W: Yeah right. Why are you making that face M: Well, well, it’s just, just a little rich for me. That’s all.

Section B
Passage One
【听前预测】选项中的challenge, change, opinion of ourselves, successful, image, self-image等表明, 短文可能与挑战或改变自我形象有关。
If you find that believing in yourself is a Questions 26 to 29 are based on the passage challenge, it is time you build a positive self-image and learn to love yourself.
Self-image is your own mind’s picture of yourself. This image includes the way you look, the way you act, the way you talk and the way you think. Interestingly, our self-images are often quite
you have just heard.
26. When do we need to build a positive self-image according to the passage 【解析】选[C]。根据短文中提到的If…believing in yourself is a challenge…build a positive self-image可确定答案为[C]。believe in意为
different from the images others hold about us. Unfortunately, most of these images are more negative than they should be. Thus changing the way you think about yourself is the key to changing your self-image and your whole world.
The best way to defeat a passive self-image is to step back and decide to stress your successes. That is, make a list if you need to, but write down all of the great things you do every day. Don’t allow doubts to occur in it.
It very well might be that you are experiencing a negative self-image because you can’t move past one flaw or weakness that you see about yourself. Well, roll up your sleeves and make a change of it as your primary task. If you think you’re silly because you aren’t good at math, find a tutor. If you think you’re weak because you can’t run a mile, get to the track and practice. If you think you’re dull because you don’t wear the latest trends, buy some new clothes. But remember, just because you think it doesn’t mean it’s true.
The best way to get rid of a negative self-image is to realize that your image is far from objective, and to actively convince yourself of your positive qualities. Changing the way you think and working on those you need to improve will go a long way towards promoting a positive self-image. When you can pat yourself on the back, you’ll know you’re well on your way. Good
“相信, 信任”。build a self-image意为“树立自我形象”。be confident/unconfident about sth.意为“对某事自信/不自信”。
【点睛】[C]中的When对应短文中的If, unconfident about ourselves是对believing in yourself is a challenge的同义转述。 27. What do we learn about our self-images from the passage
【解析】选[A]。选项中的They, changeable, have different functions等表明, 本题考查They（Self-images）的特点。根据短文中的our self-images…are more negative than they should be可确定答案为[A]。more / less…than sth. should be表明人们对self-images的看法不符合事实, 即不正确。
【点睛】本题只要听清than they should be并知道其暗含的意思就比较容易得出答案。[A]中的untrue对应短文中的more negative。 28. How should you change your self-image according to the passage
【解析】选[B]。选项均以By开头表明, 本题可能考查方式方法, 问题可能以How开头。综合前两题可知, 本题可能考查改变自我形象的方式。短文提到的changing the way you think…is…key to changing your self-image为答案依据, 故答案为[B]。
【点睛】若听清问题中的How及change your self-image, 本题不难答对。[B]中的changing the way you think为短文中的信息再现。
luck! 29. What is the passage mainly about 【解析】选[C]。选项概括性强, 故本题很可能考查短文主旨。根据短文中提到的build a positive self-image…The best way to defeat a passive self-image可知, 答案为[C]。 【点睛】短文主旨一般都会在短文的开头给出, 听到短文开头的build a positive self-image就能很快得出答案。 Passage Two
【听前预测】选项中的woman, man, invite, date, pay等表明, 短文可能是关于男士邀请女士约会的问题。
Traditionally, when a man invites a woman Questions 30 to 32 are based on the passage out on a date, he picks her up at her home, pays all the expenses for the evening, and takes her home at the end of the evening. Prior to Women’s Liberation, the woman was expected to sit at home by the phone and wait and hope for the man of her dreams to call her. Today’s liberated woman may take the initiative in suggesting an evening together by inviting a man she likes to a party, to a home-cooked meal, or to an evening at the theater. If she does the inviting, she pays for at least part of the evening’s expenses. Often, a man and a woman who are friends but not romantically involved go out together Dutch treat, which means that each person pays his or her own way.
you have just heard.
30. How do a man and a woman date traditionally
【解析】选[B]。短文中提到Traditionally, when a man invites a woman out on a date, he picks her up at her home…, 即传统来讲, 男士约女士要去女士家中接她, 故答案为[B]。 【点睛】短文开头往往点明全文主旨或中心话题, 为听音重点, 需要特别注意。 31. What will happen if today’s liberated woman does the inviting to a man
【解析】选[D]。短文中用虚拟语气提到If she does the inviting, she pays for at least part of the evening’s expenses, 即如果女士主动邀请男士, 至少要付部分的约会开销, 故答案
Today many men working in the have a female boss. Men who come from countries in which the woman’s place is still in the home may find it difficult to take orders from a woman. But in the 44% of the work force is female, and many women are judges, doctors, company presidents,
college
presidents,
and
为[D]。
【点睛】[D]中pays her own expense对应短文中pays for at least part of the evening’s expenses。
32. Which statement is true about today’s American women
【解析】选[B]。短文中用But转折提到But in the 44% of the work force is female, 即在美国女性占劳动人口的44%, 接近一半, 故答案为[B]。
【点睛】But转折处为常考点, 其后的句子通常为答案所在。
entrepreneurs. It is important for men to respect to a person who holds a position of responsibility and authority, whether that person is male or female. To treat a woman as inferior just because she is female is not only insulting but also out of step with contemporary American culture.
Passage Three
【听前预测】选项中的Philosophy, discipline, meaning等表明, 短文与哲学有关, 涉及到哲学的概念等各个方面。
The literal meaning of philosophy is “love of Questions 33 to 35 are based on the passage wisdom”. But this meaning does not tell us very much. Unlike the other disciplines, philosophy cannot be defined by what you study, because it is actually unlimited. Anything can be the subject matter of philosophy — art, history, law, language, literature, mathematics, and in fact, the other academic disciplines are directly related to philosophy. For this reason you get a Doctorate of
you have just heard.
33. What can philosophy be best described as 【解析】选[D]。选项中的The study of等表明, 本题考查某个学科。短文开头提到, 任何科目都可成为哲学的研究对象, 如：art, history,
law,
language,
literature,
mathematics等, 即哲学的研究对象包括自然科学和社会科学, 故答案为[D]。
Philosophy (PhD) in biochemistry, or computer science, or psychology.
Two broad sub-fields of philosophy are logic and the history of philosophy. Logic is the science of argument and critical thinking. It provides sound methods for distinguishing good from bad reasoning. The history of philosophy involves the study of major philosophers and period in the development of philosophy.
Of what use is philosophy First it is useful in educational advancement. It is necessary for understanding other disciplines. Only philosophy questions the nature of the concepts used in a discipline and its relation to other disciplines. And through the study of philosophy, one develops sound methods of research and analysis that can be applied to any field.
There are a number of general uses of philosophy. It strengthens one’s ability to solve problems, to communicate, to organize ideas and issues, to persuade, and to take what is the most important from a large quantity of data. These general uses are of great benefit in the career field, not necessarily for obtaining one’s first job after graduation, but for preparing for positions of responsibility, management and leadership later on. It is very short-sighted after all, to take a course of studies only for the purpose of getting one’s first job. The useful

Section B
Passage One
【听前预测】选项中的Library, New York, running cost, books, government, valuable buildings等表明, 短文可能与图书馆有关。
One of New York’s most beautiful and valuable buildings is in danger — the New York Public Library, in the heart of the city at 42nd Street and 5th Avenue, may have to close its doors.
The library is a very special place. Even though it is in the busiest part of the city, it has grass and trees around it, and benches for people to sit on. The library has over thirty million books and paintings. It owns one of the first copies of a Shakespeare play, a Bible printed by Gutenberg in the 15th century, and a letter written by Columbus in which he tells of finding the new world.
Every New Yorker can see and use the library’s riches free. But the cost of running the library has risen rapidly in recent years, and the
Questions 26 to 29 are based on the passage you have just heard.
26. Where is the Public Library in New York
City
【解析】选[D]。短文中提到in the heart of the city at 42nd Street and 5th Avenue, 由此可知, 该图书馆位于第四十二大街和第五大道交叉口，故答案为[D]。
【点睛】听音时听到数字要做适当的笔记。 27. Which of the following statements is true 【解析】选[D]。短文中提到It owns one of the first copies of a Shakespeare play, …he tells of finding the new world., 即公共图书馆藏有莎士比亚戏剧的第一版、一本15世纪古登堡印刷的《圣经》, 以及一封哥伦布讲述发现新的亲笔信。由此可知, 图书馆藏有很多珍贵的、富有历史价值的图书, 故答案为
library does not have enough money to continue its work. In the past, it was open every evening and also on Saturdays and Sundays. Now it is closed at those times to save money.
The library is trying every possible way to raise more money to meet its increasing costs. Well-known New York writers and artists are trying to help. So are the universities, whose students use the library, and the governments of Now York City and New York States. But the problem remains serious.
Yet a way must be found to save the library because, as one writer said, “The Public Library is the most important building in New York City — it contains all our knowledge.”
[D]。
【点睛】[C]不符合常理, 故预览选项时可先排除。
28. Which is the reason of the crisis of the Public Library
【解析】选[B]。短文中用转折提到But the cost of running the library has risen rapidly., 即由于近年来图书馆的营运费用增加, 图书馆没有足够的资金继续下去, 由此可知, 公共图书馆的危机是由于营运费用增加, 故答案为[B]。
But转折处为常考点, 其后的句子通【点睛】常为答案所在。
29. Why is it important to save the library according to the passage

Passage Two
【听前预测】选项中的written examinations, objective test等表明, 短文可能与考试、学习有关。
In ancient times the most important Questions 30 to 32 are based on the passage examinations were spoken, not written. In the schools of ancient Greece and Rome, testing usually consisted of saying poetry aloud or giving speeches.
you have just heard.
30. How did students in Middle Ages take a test
In the European universities of the Middle Ages, students who were working for advanced degrees had to discuss questions in their field of study with people who had made a special study of the subject. This custom exists today as part of the process of testing candidates for the doctor’s degree.
Generally, however, modern examinations are written. The written examination, where all students are tested on the same questions, was probably not known until the nineteenth century. Perhaps it came into existence with the great increase in population and the development of modern industry. A room full of candidates for a state examination, timed exactly by electric clocks and carefully watched over by managers, resembles a group of workers at an automobile factory. Certainly, during examinations teachers and students are expected to act as machines.
One type of test is sometimes called an objective test. It is intended to deal with facts, not personal opinions. To make up an objective test the teacher writes a series of questions, each of which has only one correct answer.
【解析】选[D]。古希腊、罗马学校的学生考试包括saying poetry aloud or giving speeches, 而中世纪欧洲大学生要discuss questions in their field of study with people who had made a special study of the subject, 故答案为[D]。objective test意为“客观考试”。
【点睛】短文中提到几个不同时期的考试形式，故听清问题中的in Middle Ages是关键。 31. What might be the reason for the application of written examination
【解析】选[A]。选项[B]不符常理, 故先排除。短文中提到it came into existence with the great increase in population and the development of modern industry, 即随着人口增长和现代工业的发展, 笔试便产生了, 故答案为[A]。
【点睛】[A]中的more candidates than before是对短文中的the great increase population的同义转述。
32. What can we learn from the passage 【解析】选[C]。短文最后提到It (objective test) is intended to deal with facts, not personal opinions, [A]表述错误, 故排除。随后指出客观考试中the teacher writes a series of questions, each of which has only one correct answer, 由此可知答案为[C]。[B]和[D]是关于written state examination的内容。
Passage Three
【听前预测】选项中的psychological, phobias, self-confidence, child等表明, 短文可能与儿童的心理疾病有关。
Almost every child is scared of something, from Questions 33 to 35 are based on the passage monsters in the cupboard to dogs in the park. But the fact that such fears and phobias are common and normal doesn’t mean they can be taken lightly. Kids experience fears much more strongly than adults. And the influence of the fear can be physical as well as psychological. It can build up so they almost seem scared of everything — a kind of childhood anxiety. Dr. Creswell says, “Your child may always seem to expect the worst to happen and lack confidence in his or her ability to deal with any challenge.” So don’t make the same old mistake of treating them as if they’re silly for being a “scary cat”. Handing the fears is essential.
Children can be born nervous and, if you have such a baby, you’ll tend to prevent them from getting worried. So if they fear dogs, you’ll keep them away from dogs, but in fact that can just confirm to the child that dogs are scary. What is worse, keeping your child away from what they fear can turn that feeling into a phobia. Instead, you should encourage them to get in touch with the thing they fear, in a safe and supportive environment. Dr. Andy Field, a researcher of childhood fears, says, “You shouldn’t force, for
you have just heard.
33. Why are children’s fears usually taken lightly
【解析】选[B]。短文开头提到But the fact that such fears and phobias are common and normal, 即几乎每个儿童都会害怕某些东西, 这种现象是正常和普遍的, 故答案为[B]。
【点睛】
But转折处常为考点, 其后的句子通常为答案所在。该句中的that引导同位语从句, 先行词是the fact。
34. What will happen if we fail to help children to overcome fears
【解析】选[D]。选项均以They will开头表明, 本题考查后果。短文引用Dr. Creswell的话：Your child may always seem to expect the worst to happen and lack confidence in his or her ability to deal with any challenge, 由此可知, 答案为[D]。
【点睛】选项中的They指代的是问题中的children。[D]中的lacking self-confidence对应短文中的lack confidence。
35. What should parents do if a child is afraid of a dog according to Dr. Andy Field
example, a dog-anxious child to go up to a dog. But you can approach it yourself, show them there is nothing to be afraid of, stroke it, and talk about the dog being friendly. Once your child dares to stroke a dog — one that’s good with children, of course — then you should encourage them to carry on until they feel calmer, and reward them for being brave.”
【解析】选[C]。选项均以原形动词开头表明, 本题考查行为动作或观点建议。短文中提到, you can approach it yourself, show them there is nothing to be afraid of, stroke it, and talk about the dog being friendly., 由此可知答案为[C]。
[C]中的how to approach it是对stroke 【点睛】
it, and talk about the dog being friendly的概括。
Section C
36.【解析】survey。空前An American和空后的修饰词of over 100,000 people表明, 本空应填一单数名词。填空题中若所填名词被后置定语“数字+名词”修饰, 并且谓语为show, indicate或find等时, 所填词往往为survey, study或poll等, 这种情况下一般听清单词的第一个音素就很容易写出答案。
37.【解析】patterns。空所在句中的that引导宾语从句, 该宾语从句中含有despite引导的让步状语。despitesocial patterns意为“社会模式, 社会形态”, 注（不管, 尽管）是介词, 后跟名词或名词短语。意不要漏写表示复数的s。
38.【解析】fit。短文首句是主旨句, 也是本段的主题句, 强调了married和healthier之间的联系。there is a link…紧扣主题, 并列连词and前后均为being结构, 结构一致, 因此本空应和married一样是形容词, 并且在语义上和首句中的healthier照应。
39.【解析】emotional。空前的逗号和or表示选择性的并列, 即physical、mental和所填词三者在概念、词性上一致或并列。
40.【解析】less。be likely to do sth. 意为“有可能做某事”。所填词在形容词likely前面, 故本空应填一副词。按照上段所说的married people are healthier, 有physical, mental or (39) ______ problems的人就很有可能是未婚的（unmarried）。因此, 所填副词应该隐含否定之意。 41.benefit。【解析】分析句子结构可知, 所填词作people的谓语, 故应为一原形动词, 并可与from构成固定搭配, 与support形成语义场共现。
42.【解析】improves。空前的this指代的是greater support from family and friends, their health为
and前面的内容是说结婚的人得益于所填词的宾语, 故本空应填一第三人称单数形式的动词。
此, and后面的内容反过来说this对their health的作用, 两者应是相互促进的, 那么, 所填词应和上半句中的benefit照应。
43.financially。as well as表示其前后是并列关系, 所填词在动名词短语affecting many people【解析】之后, 应为一副词, 修饰affecting。根据命题规律, 单词听写中的副词往往以-ly结尾, 注意不要漏increase depression和affecting many people都是Divorce and loss of a close friend or relative的消写。
极后果。前者是指精神上的沮丧, 后者是指在经济方面的负面影响。
44.【答案】They are also more likely to wear seat belts in a car and install safety devices in their homes

hostess. Brains will help but they are not the main thing. Neither is personality, nor the skill alone. Rather it is a combination of these factors that makes the ideal air girl. And above all she must be willing to serve. This adds up to a pretty tall order, hence so few are chosen from the many who answer the requirement.
One newspaper advertisement inserted by Japan Air Lines recently attracted five hundred applicants. Only twenty were selected.
The hostess applicants must not be younger than twenty or older than twenty-eight. They must have a good secondary school education. They ought to be attractive, in good health, speak English and at least two other languages and they must be single.
If the girls do their job well, it is because of proper training. They learn to prepare and serve meals, and how to take care of children. They must know how to work out the price of a packet of cigarettes in three currencies; know how to pour coffee for four and not spill a drop. They must also know something about the theory of flying and the parts of an aircraft in detail.
Says an air hostess: “I love my job, of course, for I love traveling, playing golf and tennis. I swim, ride horses, row boats, cycle and roller skate. I love the air and the air-traveling business. It’s simply exciting! ”

【听前预测】本题考查地点场所, 考生需快速浏览选项, 并在听音时捕捉关键信息对号入座。 【解 析】选[C]。女士提到These tomatoes和watered them, 男士提到ripe和pick by the next Friday when we have our picnic, 综合这些词可推断出对话可能发生在花园, 而不是在一次野餐上, 故答案为[C]。
Conversation One
【听前预测】选项中多次出现newspaper, circulation, advertisements, section, read等表明, 对话内容与报纸有关, 可能涉及到发行量、广告及读者的选择等。
W: I often read two newspapers. Washington
Post and The Sun. What about you M: I will buy the newspaper whose headlines
catch my eyes in the front page. Do you buy
Questions 19 to 22 are based on the conversation you have just heard.
19. What sort of newspaper will the man buy 【解析】选[B]。选项为四种不同类型的报纸
the two newspapers everyday
W: Yes, that way I’m sure not to miss my
favorite sections. Doesn’t the size of the daily paper surprise you
M: Yes, it certainly does. The newspaper staff —
the reporters, writers, editors, and linotype operators — must be busy continuously. They need a large circulation to support such a staff, don’t they
W: I’m sure they do. Of course, much of a
newspaper’s income
comes
from
advertisements.
M: That’s true. You try to read the whole paper,
don’t you
W: No. I just read the parts that interest me. I
glance at the headlines, but I read the sports page and the business section carefully. Do you read those
M: No, but I do read the editorials and the news
section. You saw the article about the earthquake in Japan, didn’t you
W: Yes. That was a terrible disaster. Do you
think newspapers should print stories like that
M: Certainly they should! They’re part of the
news of the day and people want to know about them. Don’t you agree
W: Yes, I suppose disasters are news, too. It
seems to me that newspapers would be more
的特点。对话开始男士的话I will buy the newspaper whose headlines catch my eyes in the front page表明, 他会选择有吸引人的标题的报纸, 故答案为[B]。
【点睛】whose headlines catch my eyes in the front page为定语从句, 先行词为newspaper, whose在句中作定语。 20. What surprises the speakers
【解析】选[A]。选项中的size, staff, circulation等表明, 本题可能考查日报某方面的特点。针对女士的提问Doesn’t the size of the daily paper surprise you, 男士回答Yes, it certainly does., 由此可知, 使他们感到吃惊的是日报的size, 故答案为[A]。 【点睛】对话中也提到了日报的staff, circulation和advertisement, 但均不是使人感到吃惊的内容, 故排除其他三项。
21. Which part of the newspaper does the woman usually read
【解析】选[B]。选项中的whole, parts, news section only, her等表明, 本题可能考查女士对报纸内容的阅读喜好。对话中女士提到I just read the parts that interest me, 故答案为[B]。
22. Why doesn’t the woman enjoy reading about disasters in the daily newspaper 【解析】选[B]。选项中的They，not news，aren’t pleasant，difficult to understand等表明，本题可能考查某人不喜欢阅读某类新
pleasant to read if they had a large society section and more comic strips. Don’t you like to read articles about celebrations and happy events
M: Yes, I enjoy reading them. But since you
don’t like to read unhappy news, why do you subscribe to two newspapers If I were you, I wouldn’t read a newspaper at all.
闻的原因。对话中女士提到newspapers would be more pleasant to read if they had a large society section and more comic strips, 接着男士指出since you don’t like to read unhappy news, 由此可知, 女士不喜欢灾难新闻的原因是读起来不愉快, 故答案为[B]。
Conversation Two
【听前预测】选项中school, university, course, projects, different countries等表明, 对话可能是针对上大学的讨论, 以及与此相关的项目的开展。
(Knock, knock…) M: Come in.
W: Good morning, Mr. Brown.
M: Oh, come in, Mary. I’ve been expecting you.
Take a seat. W: Thanks.
M: And what can I do for you
W: Well, I was thinking about taking a year off
after we finish school this summer, and I wanted some advice.
M: I see. You mean putting off going to university for a year
W: That’s right. I’ve been offered a place at
London University, but what I’d really like to do is take a year out first — do something different, maybe go abroad.
Questions 23 to 25 are based on the conversation you have just heard.
23. When does Mary want to take a year off 【解析】选[D]。选项均以时间状语开头表明, 本题考查时间, 问题以When开头。对话中女士提到…I was thinking about taking a year off after we finish school this summer, 男士问到You mean putting off going to university for a year, 女士的肯定回答That’s right.表明, 女士想请假一年, 推迟一年进入大学, 故答案为[D]。
【点睛】选项[D]在对话中没有直接体现, 而是根据双方就请假一事的讨论推断出来的。
24. What project does Peterson International carry out
M: So were you thinking of getting some sort of
job, or traveling around I mean, is your main aim to earn some money, or to do something else Or do you want to do a bit of both W: I’d really like to travel — but I don’t
have any money. But I’ve heard of an organization called Peterson International — and that’s what I want to ask you about. Do you know anything about it
M: Sure. It’s a charity and it’s aimed very much at young people like you, and what they do is to get teams of young people to work together on various projects all over the world — environment projects, community projects, that sort of thing.
W: Mum, it sounds great. Is it just English people on the projects
M: No, they’re international teams. You’d be working with quite a variety of people.
【解析】选[B]。对话双方在谈论Peterson International 时, 男士指出It’s a charity…and what they do is to get teams of young people to work together on various projects all over the world—environment projects, community projects, that sort of thing., 由此可知, 此项目是关注环境和社会, 故答案为[B]。
【点睛】在句子…and what they do is to get terms of young people to…中, what引导主语从句, 在从句中作do的宾语。is后的to…是动词不定式作表语。
25. Where do the people in the Peterson International teams come from
【解析】选[C]。男士在对话末尾指出, Peterson International成员的来源是they’re international teams, 故答案为[C]。
Section B
Passage One
【听前预测】选项中的hunt, animals等表明, 短文可能与捕猎有关。
The days of the hunter are almost over in Questions 26 to 29 are based on the passage India. This is partly because there is practically nothing left to kill, and partly because some steps have
been
taken,
mainly
by
banning
you have just heard.
26. Why is there no more hunting in India now
【解析】选[D]。选项中的Partly because及选
tiger-shooting, to protect those animals which still
survive.
Some people say that Man is a natural hunter. I disagree with this view. Surely our earliest forefathers, who at first possessed no weapons, spent their time digging for roots, and were no doubt themselves often hunted by meat-eating animals.
I believe the main reason why the modern hunter kills is that he thinks people will admire his courage in overpowering dangerous animals. Of course, there are some who truly believe that the killing is not really the important thing, and that the chief pleasure lies in the joy of the hunt and the beauties of the wild countryside. There are also those for whom hunting in fact offers a chance to prove themselves and to risk death by design; these men go out after dangerous animals like tigers, even if they say they only do it to rid the countryside of a threat. I can respect reasons like these, but they are clearly different from the need to strengthen your high opinion of yourself.
The greatest big-game hunters expressed in their writings something of these finer motives. One of them wrote “You must properly respect what you are after and shoot it cleanly and on the animal’s own territory. You must fix forever in your mind all the wonders of that particular day. It is better than letting him grow a few years older to be attacked and wounded by his own son and
项内容表明, 本题考查猎人不再捕猎的其中一个原因。短文开头提到The days of the hunter are almost over in India., 接着给出两方面原因：partly because there is practically nothing left to kill, and partly because some steps have been taken, [D]表述的是其中一个原因, 故为答案。 【点睛】选项[C]中原因状语从句的主语是hunters, 与短文中的banning不符, 是干扰项。
27. What is the main purpose of modern hunters’ killing
【解析】选[B]。选项均以To + do开头表明, 本题考查行为目的。短文中提到people will admire his courage in overpowering dangerous animals, 即现代人猎杀动物的原因是通过征服危险的动物得到人们的赞赏, 故答案为[B]。
【点睛】短文中…that he thinks people will admire his courage是表语从句。
28. What do we learn about the big-game hunters
【解析】选[A]。短文中间引用大型动物猎杀者在他们的日记中写的话, 理解了kill to feed your people即可选出答案[A]。 【点睛】本题考查对not if “如果…就不…”的
eventually eaten, half-alive, by other animals. Hunting is not a cruel and senseless killing — not if you respect the thing you kill, not if you kill to enrich your memories, not if you kill to feed your people.”
I can understand such beliefs, and can compare these hunters with those who hunted lions with spears and bravely caught them by the tail. But this is very different from many tiger-shoots I have seen, in which modern weapons were used. The so-called hunters fired from tall trees or from the backs of trained elephants. Such methods made tigers seem no more dangerous than rabbits.
理解。
29. What is the speaker’s view on the tiger-shoots he has seen
【解析】选[C]。短文最后将过去用长矛猎杀狮子的人和现在拿着现代械站在树上猎杀狮子的人进行比较, 指出后者并非真有勇气与大型动物面对面地较量, 故答案为[C]。
But转折处为常考点, 其后的内容通【点睛】
常为句子真实含义和答案所在。
Passage Two
【听前预测】预览四道题各选项，结合30题、32题各选项和31题中反复出现的exercise可推知，短文应与饮食和锻炼有关。
Diet, diet, diet! It gets to be a constant battle Questions 30 to 32 are based on the passage for many of us to stay fit and healthy. But diets don’t always allow us to learn new eating habits, improve our self-image, or make lifestyle changes. Developing good eating habits and proper exercise is a permanent issue. And it’s the main topic of this workshop.
In order to keep a healthy diet and minimize the risk of disease, it’s essential to eat a diet that consists of low-fat foods and to maximize energy
you have just heard.
30. According to the speaker, which will burn most quickly with exercise
【解析】选[B]。选项均为食品名称，故听音时应留意文中有关这几种食品的描述。由短文中的… potatoes, and bread contain almost no fat… source of complex carbohydrates和carbohydrates are the first calories to burn可知，属于碳水化合物的
with carbohydrates. Beef, nuts, oils, and most dairy products are rich in fat, so you should eat less of those; while pastry, rice, potatoes, and bread contain almost no fat and are a high-energy source of complex carbohydrates. You know that many food manufactures use sugar to make low-fat or fat-free foods taste good, but don’t worry too much about that. You don’t necessarily “get fat” by eating sugar, since sugar is an indirect fat.
When you exercise, carbohydrates are the first calories to burn. If you want to burn off fat, it’s good to do some sort of aerobic exercise such as biking, swimming, running, or fast walking. But you have to keep doing this exercise for at least twenty minutes because it takes about that long before we start to burn fat. And then the effect of burning fat decreases after 45 minutes of exercise. So if you do some sort of aerobic exercise for three to four days a week for about thirty to forty minutes, you’ll have an affective schedule for reducing weight.
potatoes在锻炼时燃烧得最快，故答案为[B]。
31. What does the speaker say is burned at the beginning of exercise
【解析】选[A]。由短文中提到的When you exercise, carbohydrates are the first calories to burn可知，碳水化合物燃烧最早，故答案为[A]。
32. According to the speaker, what is the most effective exercise time schedule for reducing weight
【解析】选[D]。选项中的时间及频率表明，本题与体育锻炼的时间有关。由短文中提到的for three to four days a week for about thirty to forty minutes … 可知答案为[D]。 【点睛】文中提到了But… doing this exercise for at least twenty minutes… 以及 45 minutes of exercise，注意这两处的时间段并不是问题中的the most effective exercise time schedule，短文最后提到的内容才是本题答案出处。
Passage Three
【听前预测】选项中dive, water turns gray, Life on earth improves表明, 短文可能与地球上的水环境有关。
From the earliest times, the sea has been a Questions 33 to 35 are based on the passage place of secrets — a place of mysteries hidden from

us by thousands of kilograms of water. The early Greeks sailed the oceans. They wrote about the seas. But since they could not dive deep into the waters, they could not lay bare these secrets and so the secrets remained. But today we have more ways to study the sea than did the early Greeks. Scientists are learning about life in the sea, and how it may improve life on land. The study of sea plants and sea animals may help us learn new ways of getting food. Scientists are searching the ocean floor for oil and gas, to keep our world running smoothly. And they are also learning how not to pollute the oceans. For if the sea dies, so does life on earth. The sea may even become our home some day. People are studying ways to build cities on the ocean, and make more room to live in an overcrowded world.
Modern study was done, at first, by divers. But it was too dangerous for divers to keep diving and coming to the surface. So now, laboratories on the ocean floor are the homes for divers for months on end. Divers can work outside in the water and return to the laboratory to eat and sleep.
Little by little, we are solving the mysteries of the deep. Little by little, the sea is showing us how we can live a better life on land.
33. Who wrote about the seas in early times 【解析】选[B]。短文中提到The early Greeks sailed the oceans. They wrote about the seas., 即古希腊人航海, 并记录关于海洋的事情, 故答案为[B]。 34.
What
kept
early
people
from
understanding the sea
【解析】选[C]。短文中用转折表述提到But since they could not dive deep into the waters, they could not lay bare these secrets and so the secrets remained, 即因为他们无法潜入深水, 所以无法揭开海洋的奥秘, 故答案为[C]。
But转折处为常考点, 其后的内容通【点睛】
常为答案所在。lay bare意为“暴露, 揭发, 公开”。
35. What happens if the sea dies
【解析】选[D]。短文中if the sea dies, so does life on earth, 即如果海水死亡了, 地球生命也将随之灭亡, 故答案为[D]。
Section C
36.【解析】recently。空所在句句子结构完整, 不缺少主要成分, 故本空应填一副词。fairly在此
是副词, 意为“相当地”。
37.【解析】decide。空前的be able to表明, 本空应填一原形动词。be able to do是固定短语, 意
为“能够做某事”。
38.【解析】awareness。空前的不定冠词a和形容词growing和空后的of表明, 本空应填一单数名
词。
39.【解析】rising。空前的不定冠词a和空后的名词短语world population表明, 本空应填一形容词或具有形容词词性的分词。首段未句中的increasing对本空有提示作用。
40.【解析】improved。上文提到全球人口不断增长, 本句旨在讨论其原因, 因此本空很可能需
填一含有积极意义的形容词。
41.【解析】lowered。空前的have表明, 本空应填一动词的过去分词, 与have构成现在完成时。
根据后面的raised the birth rate可知本空应填一与raised意义相反的动词。
42.【解析】survive。who (42) ______early childhood是定语从句修饰babies, 该定语从句中缺少
谓语动词。
43.【解析】realization。空前的不定冠词a和形容词growing表明, 本空应填一单数名词。 44.【答案】thus leaving even less for the people in the underdeveloped areas to survive on 【Main Points】thus, leaving even less for the people in the poor areas to survive on 45.【答案】There are striking regional differences in the population growth trends 【Main Points】There are big regional differences in the population growth trends 46.【答案】which at present contains about three-fifths of the people in the world 【Main Points】which now has about 3/5 of the people in the world

【解 析】选[D]。结合女士说的I wish Mary would put on a different record以及男士的附和It used to be one of my favorites可推断, 他们听够Mary的歌了, 感到厌烦了, 选项中与此一致的是[D], 故为答案。put on在此意为“推出，发行（新唱片）”。
【听前预测】由选项中的concepts of engineering，high school students，explain，gives talks等可推断，
M: I’m speaking to a group of high school
students
about
engineering
this
对话可能与向高中生解释工程学术语有关，而[D]与此话题无关，故可初步排除。
【解 析】选[B]。由对话中男士的But转折推断，男士感觉自己解释不了某些术语，故答案为[B]。
afternoon. But I have no idea how I’m going to simplify some of the concepts for them.
Q: What can be inferred about the man
Now you will hear the two long conversations.
Conversation One
【听前预测】预览四道题的选项，由ocean，currents，turbidity等可知，对话可能与海洋的各种自然现象有关。
W: Dr. Smith. I need to ask you about something Questions 19 to 22 are based on the
in Chapter 12. Well, it talks about erosion and the deposit of sediment（solid matter that settles at the bottom of a liquid）on the deep sea floor, but I’m confused. For that to happen, there would have to be some kind of force down there moving the mud or sand or whatever, right But I thought there weren’t any waves or currents that deep in the ocean. M: That’s not exactly correct. It’s true that deep
down on the ocean floor we won’t have the same kinds of currents we find in shallower parts. But we do find what we call turbidity currents. That wasn’t in the book but the term came up in class. Do you remember what it means
W: Um, turbidity currents Oh, yeah! Isn’t that
conversation you have just heard. 19. What is the main topic of the discussion 【解析】选[B]。选项内容概括性强，故本题很可能考查对话话题。对话中女士向男士咨询Chapter 12中她不明白的内容，后面男士都是针对此问题进行回答。由此可见，整个对话讨论的话题是海底沉淀物的运动，故答案为[B]。
【点睛】对话主旨要听清对话的主要内容，也可根据选项内容进行推测。对话开头是听音关键。
20. What does the professor ask the student to explain
【解析】选[A]。男士解释海底沉淀物运动时提到了turbidity currents，且认为这个术语曾经在课堂上提过，然后男士问Do you remember
when sediment like sand or mud gets stirred up and mixes with water And then this mixture flows through the water around it, right M: Good!
W: Uh, but I thought that only happened in rivers. M: Well, yes. This does occur in rivers, but we see
turbidity currents deep in the ocean as well. W: But how do they get started there
M: Earthquakes mostly. When an earthquake
occurs under water, it throws up tremendous amounts of mud or sand that becomes suspended in a layer of water near the bottom of the ocean. This layer is so much denser and heavier than other ocean water that it flows right down the slopes of the ocean floor and gains more and more speed as it moves along. Then it’s just like the winds blowing across the desert picking up sand from one place and moving it along and finally dropping it somewhere else.
what it means，可见教授希望学生能解释turbidity current，故答案为[A]。
[A] What a turbidity current is对应对【点睛】
话中的what it means，其中it即turbidity currents。
21. According to the professor, how do earthquakes cause turbidity currents 【解析】选[B]。选项均以By+v-ing开头表明，本题考查行为方式。对话中教授提到，earthquake…throws up…mud or sand that becomes suspended in…water，由此可知地震带动泥沙运动，最后与海水混合，故答案为[B]。
22. Why does the professor mention desert winds
【解析】选[A]。选项均以To+原形动词开头表明，该题可能考查做某事的目的。本题应锁定对话末尾，概括对话最后的Then it’s just like the winds blowing across the desert可知，答案为[A]。
【点睛】问题中的desert winds是听音的关键。it’s just like是将turbidity currents形象化，和the winds blowing across the desert进行类比。
Conversation Two
【听前预测】由选项中的lifestyles of celebrities，values of celebrities等可知，对话可能是在讨论社会名流。
W: I’m fascinated with them. I often read the Questions 23 to 25 are based on the
stories about their lives and their hobbies. M: Why should we care about celebrities When
they were born, they were no different than any of us. Just because they have a camera on them doesn’t mean that they have to be ideal citizens.
W: I think many celebrities have fascinating stories, and to read these stories can be very inspirational. They forever inspire us to achieve more.
M: So you hold celebrities as your role models W: Yes. But celebrities definitely should consider
how their behavior will be seen by those who have chosen them as a role model.
M: But don’t you think celebrities also make us
spend money I mean we have to follow their lavish lifestyles.
W: Although I may be fascinated with celebrities’
lifestyles, I stop short of imitating them. M: I think it’s all right to have a normal interest in actors and artists we’re fond of, but if you know more about Britney Spears than your next-door neighbor, you need help.
W: I think too that the most important people in
our lives should be our friends and family. But celebrities do keep us entertained whether it is sports, music or movies.
M: The entertainment value cannot be
conversation you have just heard.
23. What do we learn about the woman from the conversation
【解析】选[B]。对话中女士一开始说自己经-常关注名流的生活和兴趣，接着说从这些名流的故事中可以得到鼓励，故答案为[B]。 【点睛】inspirations是形容词inspirational的名词复数形式。
24. According to the man, which statement is not true
【解析】选[B]。[B]中的any表述太过绝对，表述不正确。根据I think it’s all right to have a normal interest in actors and artists we’re fond of 可知，男士赞同对自己的偶像有正常范围内的兴趣，根据问题要求可知答案为[B]。
【点睛】but if you know more about Britney Spears than your next-door neighbor, you need help.是[A]项的设题处。But don’t you think celebrities also make us spend money 是[C]项的设题处。When they were born, they were no different than any of us是[D]项的设题处。
25. What do the man and the woman agree most on
【解析】选[D]。对话中女士和男士对待明星的态度基本不同，最后女士说But celebrities do keep us entertained，男士说The
emphasized enough, but celebrities shouldn’t be such a big deal so that we are totally obsessed with them.
entertainment value cannot be emphasized enough，说明二人对名流具有娱乐作用这方面的观点还是一致的，故答案为[D]。 【点睛】But转折处通常为考点，其后的句子通常为答案。
Section B
Passage One
【听前预测】预览三道题的选项，由tea leaves, sandwiches with tea, Britons got...tea from等可推知，短文很可能与茶叶的历史有关，涉及到茶叶的相关做法，英国的茶叶来源等。
Tea-drinking was common in China for nearly Questions 26 to 28 are based on the passage one thousand years before anyone in Europe had ever heard about tea. People in Britain were much slower in finding out what tea was like, mainly because tea was very expensive. It could not be bought in shops. And even those people who could afford to have it sent from Holland did so only because it was a fashionable curiosity. Some of them were not sure how to use it. They thought it was a vegetable and tried cooking the leaves. Then they served them mixed with batter and salt. Many people used to spread the used tea leaves on bread and give them to their children as sandwiches.
Tea remained scarce and very expensive in England until the ships of the East India Company began to bring it direct from China early in the
you have just heard.
26. Why did some Britons cook tea leaves at the beginning
【解析】选[B]。选项中的They,eat tea leaves, make sandwiches with tea等表明，本题与They处理茶叶的方式有关。短文中提到英国人were not sure how to use it，所以会出现他们把茶叶当蔬菜进行烹饪的笑话，故答案为[B]。[C]是导致的结果，并非原因。
【点睛】选项中的They指问题中的some Britons。
27. What is true of the introduction of tea into Britain
【解析】选[D]。选项中的Britons got...tea from,brought tea...to Britain等表明，本题考查茶叶传入英国的情况。[C]根据常理可排
seventeenth century. During the next few years so much tea came into the country that the price fell and many people could afford to buy it.
At the same time people on the Continent were becoming more and more fond of tea. Until then tea had been drunk without milk in it. But one day a famous French lady named Madame de Sevigne decided to see what tea tasted like when milk was added. She found it so pleasant that she would never again drink it without milk. Because she was such a great lady her friends thought they must copy everything she did, so they also drank their tea with milk in it. Slowly this habit spread until it reached England and today only very few Britons drink tea without milk.
除；短文中介绍了茶叶传入英国的时间和来源国，即茶叶在英国物少价贵，直到东印度公司在17世纪早期直接从中国运输茶叶，在接下来的几个世纪里茶叶价格才开始下跌，[D]正是对此信息的同义转述，故答案为[D]。
28. Why did people in Europe begin to drink tea with milk
【解析】选[D]。选项中的popular drink, followed, influenced by等表明，本题与一种喝茶的方法有关。[C]和[D]对这种喝茶方法的来源表述不一致，故其中之一很有可能是答案。短文末尾部分介绍了这种喝茶方法的来源：法国的一位贵妇人首创在茶中加奶的喝法，渐渐这种法式喝茶法被英国和欧洲其他国家引入，故答案为[D]。 【点睛】选项[D]中的They指问题中的 people in Europe。
Passage Two
【听前预测】预览四道题的选项，由Deepwater port, Ship-building, harbor等可推知，短文很可能与造船业﹑运输﹑港口有关。
Belfast is the capital of Northern Ireland and a Questions 29 to 32 are based on the passage major city in commerce and industry. It is one of the most important ship-building and repairing centers of the United Kingdom, and has long been known for its linen textiles. Its manufactures include aircraft, guided weapons, and tobacco and food
you have just heard.
29. For what has Belfast long been famous 【解析】选[B]。前三项都与商品有关, 而[D]却与此无关,可先排除。根据短文中提到的… has long been known for its linen
products. A large petroleum refinery here is supplied by imported petroleum which is received at the city’s deep-water port. Other imports include grain, coal, chemicals and iron and steel. Among the chief exports are petroleum products, soap, food stuffs and textiles.
In Belfast, there are the notable Ulster Museum and the Protestant Cathedral of Saint Anne. As an educational center, the city is home to Queen’s University of Belfast and Belfast College of Technology.
Although there’s evidence that people once settled in this place during the stone and bronze Ages, the founding of Belfast dates from 1177 when a Norman castle was erected. Edward Bruce destroyed the settlement in 1315, the year he became the Irish King. The city was taken by the English in the 16th century. In the late 17th century, French refugees arrived here and developed the linen industry. The harbor was improved in the late 18th century and ship-building was begun on a large scale. The city was made the capital of Northern Ireland in 1920. During World War II, Belfast was heavily damaged by German bombing raids. Beginning in 1969, the city was the scene of religious disorder involving civil rights agitation and increased violence.
textiles可知, Belfast长久以来以亚麻纺织品最为出名，故答案为[B]。
【点睛】四个选项的内容均在文中有所提到，故听清问题中的long been famous是解题关键。
30. Which of the following does Belfast chiefly export
【解析】选[A]。四个选项均为商品，应留意问题问的什么。根据短文中提到的chief exports are…soap, food stuffs…可知，香皂在 贝尔法斯特出口的商品之列，故答案为[A]。31. When was Belfast founded
【解析】选[A]。根据短文中提到的the founding of Belfast dates from 1177可知, Belfast于1177年建成，故答案为[A]。 【点睛】本题考查时间，故听音时应留意有关时间的表述及问题询问的是什么的时间。
32. What happened in Belfast in the late 18th century
【解析】选[C]。根据短文中提到的The harbor was improved in the late 18th century… on a large scale可知, 在十八世纪后期, Belfast的造船业开始走向繁荣。on a large scale意为“大规模地”，[C]中的flourish与之对应，故为答案。
Passage Three
【听前预测】预览三道题的选项，由population of elderly people，People，more destructive等可推知，短文很可能论述人类的相关情况。
During the past decade, there has been a Questions 33 to 35 are based on the passage multifold increase in violent crimes throughout the world. Not only has there been a frightening increase of murders and rapes, but the chances of being attacked and robbed have grown so that the elderly avoid leaving their apartments.
The

cause
of
this
horrifying
development has not been found. Some sociologists feel that the growth of crime on TV is related with the growth of violence in our streets. Others blame the constant threat of complete destruction from nuclear explosives. If the world is going to be blown up, why not enjoy yourself fully
Regardless of the cause or causes, a fundamental change in attitude among people is easy to see. Years back, the old saying “practice what you preach” was a prevalent one. People had moral standards that they could follow; people were concerned about their fellow human beings.
Today, people have become “I-centered”. They are more interested in achieving immediate, selfish pleasure. The best advice they can give in the rare instances when they do is “Do what I say, not what I do.” They are saying: “There are moral
you have just heard.
33. What has increased greatly in the past decades
【解析】选[C]。根据短文开头提到的During the past decade, there has been a multifold increase in violent crimes throughout the world可知，在过去十年中暴力犯罪急剧上升，故答案为[C]。
34. What changes have taken place in people’s morality
【解析】选[B]。前三项都是肯定句，而[D]却是否定句，与其他选项明显不同，可首先排除。由短文中提到的Today, people have become “I-centered”… 可知，现在的人都变得较自私，故答案为[B]。 【点睛】[B]more selfish是对短文中“I-centered”的同义转述。
35. Which is most suitable to describe the speaker’s attitude
【解析】选[D]。浏览选项可知，本题可能考查态度看法。短文中说话者指出The major difference … points out the tragic change in our morality and social ways以及… destructive self-centeredness，由此不难看出其对人们普遍变得自私的状况是很担忧
principles to follow if you want to, but don’t use me as a guide since I no longer follow them”.
The major difference that I see in the quotations points out the tragic change in our morality and social ways. Until people once more learn to replace “I” with “we”, we shall continue to move toward destructive self-centeredness.
的，故答案为[D]。
