Part III Listening Comprehension
Section A
. M: What would be like working with
those young stars?
W: It wasgreat group,always got
mad when people said that we didn’t get
along, just because we were girls, there
was neverfight. We hadgreat time.
Q: What doeswoman mean?
【解析】选项表明对话与女孩们之间相处情况关,而由[C]可推测这些女孩很可能群年轻明星(young stars)。[ D]与女孩们相处这话题关系大,与其他三项内容明显同,故可初步排除。[ B]、 [ C]意思相近,均表示女孩们相处得太好,故二者均大可能为答案。[A]则表示女孩们相处得非常好,与[B]、[ C]同时相反,根据命题规律,同时与两意思相近选项相反选项很可能为答案。因此可初步推测本题答案为[A]。 听音时重点留意女孩们相处得如何(“ 好”还好”) 。what would be like
doing sth.?意为“…怎么样?”, 用于寻问情况种常见句式。

2. [A] The woman does her own housework.
[B] The woman needshousekeeper.
[C]The woman's houseinmess.
[D]The woman works ashousekeeper.
M: Are you telling me you don't havehousekeeper?
W: No, we don't. If you makemess, you cleanup yourself.
Q: What do we learn from this conversation?
【解析】选 项中 housework 和 housekeepe(r 管家)表明对话与家务活和管家关。[ C]说房间情况(房间很乱),而其他三项均陈述女士否雇佣管家承担家务活关,故[C]可初步排除。[ D]说女士名 housekeeper,根据常识,housekeeper 主要工作就负责管理家务,那她自己家务活肯定由她自己来做([ A]内容),即[D]成立,[ A]就同时成立,因此[D]大可能为答案。故听音时应留意以下选项要点: woman - 自己做 housework ; 需要housekeeper。makemess 意为“弄脏,弄乱”。
3. [A] The Edwards are quite W:hear thatEdwards are thinking 【解析】由选项中 should, unwise 等词可推测问well off.
[B] The Edwards should cut downtheir living expenses.
[C] It'll be unwisethe Edwardsbuy another house.
[D] It's too expensivethe Edwardslivetheir present
house.buying another house.
M: Should they be doing that with allother expenses they havepay?
Anyhow, they are over 70 now, their present housenot too bad.
Q: What doesman imply?
题应该涉及到看法或建议。选 项中living expenses(生活开支)和 buy another house 表明对话应与the Edwards 生活开支和购房计划关。[A]与此主题关系大,且与其他三项内容明显同,故可初步排除。[ D]Edwards 目前住房开支太大,言 外之意就[ B](Edwards应该削减生活开支),因此[D]也大可能为答案。故听音时应重点留意以下两点:cut down expenses;unwisebuy house。对话中男士用反问语气(should they be doing…?)表示反对意见They shouldn’t be doing…(≈It’ll be unwise…to do…)。
4. [A] The woman didn't expect itbe so warm at noon.
[B] The womansensitiveweather changes.
[C] The weather forecast was unreliable.
[D] The weather turned cold alla sudden.
M: You look like you are freezingdeath. Why don't you put this on?
W: Thank you,was so warm at noon.didn't expectweatherchange so
quickly.
Q: What do we learn fromconversation?
【解析】选项表明对话与天气变化和女士反应关。[ C]说天气预报情况,与主题太相关,与其他选项内容明显同,故可初步排除。[A]说没料到天气突然变暖,[ D]说天气突然变冷,二者意思正好相反,故很可能为答案。因此听音时重点关注天气突然“变冷”还“变暖”, 另外也要注意对话中否提到女士对天气变化敏感(sensitive)。抓住男士话中 freezingdeath(冷得要命)即可基本确定答案为[D]。 unreliable 意为“可靠”。 Alla sudden 意为“突然,出乎意料地”。
5. [A] Atclinic.
[B]Insupermarket.
[C]Atrestaurant.
[D]In an ice cream shop.
M: I'll havesteak, French Fries,let's see, chocolate icecream
for dissert.
W: Oh, Oh, you know these things will ruin your health, too much fat
sugar, how about ordering some vegetablesfruit instead?
Q: Where doesconversation most probably take place?
【解析】选项表明本题为“地点场景”类型。做这类题目时,在听音时要注意捕捉符合某地点场景特点关键词,结合语境作出推断,般这类题目信息词都,因此切忌听到只言片语就妄下结论。本题中如只抓住前面 steak, French Fries, icecream和后面 vegetablesfruit 等词,则很可能会误选[B]。 只抓住关键词“ order( 点菜)” 才 可以迅速确定答案为[ C]。
6. [A] The woman did not feel any danger growing upthe Bronx.
[B] The man thinkswas quite safe livingthe Bronx district.
[C] The woman started working at an early agesupport her family.
[D]The man doesn't thinksafesend an 8yearoldbuy things.
M: What waslike growing upNew York's Bronx District? Wassafe?
W: To me,was. It was allknew. My mom would send methe shopI'd
gobuy things whenwas about 8 years old.
Q: What do we learn fromconversation?
【解析】选项表明对话与在 Bronx 区成长或生活安全状况关。由选项中 feel, think 等词可推测问题与某人看法或感受关。[ C]说女士很小就开始工作养家,和主题关系大,与其他选项内容明显同, 故可初步排除。选项要点为:woman-no danger;man-safe/ not safe。故听音时重点应留意男士或女士觉得Bronx 区“安全”还安全”。
7. [A] The man has never seenwoman before.
[B]The two speakers work
M: Nice weather, isn't it? Oh, I've seen you aroundoffice, butdon't think we've met,am Henry Smith,workthe same company.
【解析】选项表明对话双方很可能在同家公
司或同楼层班,但 彼此可能太相熟。[ D]
说女士对市场研究感兴趣,没提到男士
[C]The two speakers workthe same floor.
[D]The womaninterestedmarket research.
the Market Research Section.
W: Nicemeet you, Henry.am Helen Grant,amthe Advertising Sectionthe ninth floor.
Q: What can we infer fromconversation?
情况,与 其他三项内容明显同,故 可初步排除。因此听音时应主要留意以下要点:对话双方在“同公司”班([ B]) 还在“同楼层”班([ C]); 男士以前否见过女士([A])。 注意“Market Research Section”与“Advertising Section”应该属于同公司同部门,由此可判断男士和女士在同公司班。
8. [A]The woman can't tolerate any noise.
[B] The manlookingan apartment.
[C] The man has missedappointment.
[D] The womangoingtaketrain trip.
M: Mam,hear you have an apartmentrent, cantakelook at it?
W: Sure, you're welcome any time by appointment, buthavetell youbuildingclosea railway withnoise. You might as well savetrip.
Q: What do we learn fromconversation?
【解析】选项中 noise, lookan apartment 和appointment 表明对话很可能与找公寓或看房子关。[ D]与其他三项内容几乎没关联,故可初步排除。因此听音时应重点留意以下要点:woman-can’t tolerate noise;man-lookingapartment, miss appointment。[ A]表示找公寓女士,[ B]则表示找工作男士,二者中很可能为答案,因此听音时应重点辨别找公寓“男士”还“女士”。

预览三道题各选项,由 2 题可推测对话中男士(Mr. Saunders)很可能在申请女士公司职位。故对话很可能围绕申请工作这话题而展开。
9. What'spurposeMr. Thunder's visit?
【解析】选项均为定式表明本题很可能关于某事。而选项内容都关于男士与女士之间活动,可推测本题很可能关于男士拜访女士。由 2 题分析可知,对话围绕男士申请工作这话题展开,故本题答案很可能为[B]“to be interviewed(面试)”
20. WhatMr. Thunder's current job?
【解析】选项表明本题很可能考查男士目前工作。[B]、[C]、[D]均表示他在为其他公司工作,[ A]则说男士自己经营家小贸易公司,与“男士申请女士公司工作”这主题符,也与其他三项内容明显同,故可初步排除。而从 9题选项中 business report 和 stock market可推测男士工作比较可能为[C](leadteambrokers)。而 [B]中 insurance (保险)和[D]中 public relations(公共关系)在其他各题选项中均找到任何线索。另外听音时应注意辨别男士在“大公司”还在“小公司”工作,通过这点便可排除两干扰选项,之后确定答案也就比较容易。broker 意为“保险经济人”。
2. What can we conclude fromconversation?
【解析】选项[A]、[D]女士对男士看法,选项[C]则男士对工作条件看法,故本题很可能与面试结果关。[ B]说男士申请这份工作所需承担责任,与面试无关,与其他三项内容明显同,故可初步排除。 [A]表示女士对男士太满意, [D]则表示女士对男士很满意,二者意思相反,故很可能为答案。听音时应重点留意女士态度如何。

Plus they give me reallygenerous allowance, butam beginningfeel that I'm wasting my timetheir money. They would be so disappointed though iftold themwas quitting.
预览四道题各选项,由 22 题可推测对话中女士(Karen)很可能对某课程缺乏兴趣或感
觉吃力,23 题则涉及到 Karen 对专业喜好问题,25 题则表明对话很可能与 Karen 更换
专业关。综合来看,对话很可能围绕Karen 满目前专业想调换这话题展开。
22. Why can't Karen concentratethe book?
【解析】由 worried, findtoo hard, lack interest可推测本题很可能与 Karen 对感受关。由本题[A]中 seminar(讨论会)及其他题选项中 course, major 等词可推测本题中 it应该与某课程关。[B]说男士直打扰Karen,与其他三项(Karen 自己感受)内容明显同,故可初步排除。而根据 23 题中prefer 和 enjoy 可推测本题很可能与 Karen兴趣关,即本题答案很可能为[D]。
23. WhyKaren startinglikecourse lessless?
【解析】根据题分析,选项中 boring, poorly designed 与 prefer, enjoy 表明本题很可能关于 Karen 对该课程缺乏兴趣原因关。两道题结合起来分析,问 题应该 Karen 主观方面原因引起。因此本题答案应主要在[C]和[D]之间选择,重点辨别 Karen 更喜欢“philosophy(哲学)” 还更喜欢“literature(文学)” 。 rather than 意为“而”。
24. Who thinks Philosophy graduates have limited job opportunities?
【解析】选项均为人物角色表明本题针对“who”进行提问。联系对话主题,本题很可
能与影响 Keren 对课程或专业喜好或选择关。听音时注意辨认选项中关键词。
Have one’s best interest at heart 意为“ 处处为某人利益着想”。
25. WhatKaren thinkingdoing?
【解析】选项均为现在分词表明本题为考查“行为活动”类型。[B]与对话主题及其他选项均无关系,故可初步排除。[D]说要退出大学,而根据对主题分析,对话主要涉及专业问题,没提到要退学问题,故本题答案更可能在[A]和[C]之间选择。而 [C]选项说转到外语系,实际改变专业,包含在[A]之内,故本题答案最可能为[A]。注意这里 quit 指退出现在专业,而 指退出大学,选择答案时需根据下文,切忌根据常识进行判断。

Section B
Passage One
In Greece, only rich people will restpeaceever when they die. Mostthe population, however, will be undisturbedonly three years, then they will be dug up, washed, compressed intosmall tin box,placeda bone room. Ifbody has only partially decayed, itreburieda smaller cheaper grave, but notlong,body will be dug up again some time later whenhas fully decayed. Buyingpieceland forgravethe only wayavoid this process. The costthe graveso great that most people chooserentgravethree yearseven after being dug up, lasting peacestill not guaranteed. If no one paysrenting spacethe bone room,skeletonremovedstoreda buildinga poor partthe town. LackspaceAmphonsthe main reason whydead are dug up after three years. The cityso overcrowded that sometimes dead bodies are kepthospitalsoverweek untilgravefound. Amphons city council wantsintroduce cremation thatburningdead bodies asmeansdealing withproblem. ButGreek Church resists this practice, they believeonly place where people burna hell, so burning dead bodiesagainstGreek conceptlife after death. To save space,church suggested buryingbodies standing up insteadlying down. Some people proposed building multistory underground grave yards.
预览四道题各选项,由反复出现 bury, body, grave 等词可推测本文与尸体在墓地安藏关。
26. What must Greeks dokeepdead restingeverlasting peace?
【解析】选项均为动词原形表明本题为考查“行为活动”类型。四选项均与埋藏尸体关,[B]项概念太泛,其他三项都较具体,故[B]大可能为答案。 [A]表示“租”墓地,而[D]表示“买”墓地,二者中很可能为答案,听音时应重点关注。Everlasting 意为“持久”。 根据首句中only rich people…就可基本确定答案为 [D](没钱就买起墓地)。
27. Why are most dead bodiesAmphons dug up after three years?
【解析】选项均为定式表明本题很可能考查做某事或原因。根据短文主题及选项中decayed, move 等词可推测, [B]中 they 和 [C]中 them 应该代指“bodies”。 根据 [B]、[D]选项内容可推测本题很可能与移动尸体或原因关。听 音时应留意表示因果关系连接词。般这类询问目或原因题目往往在问题做句型转换,也就对原文同义转述,答案则经常原文细节辨认,因此听音时应重点留意以下要点:lackland;if decayed; religion;multistorey graveyard。
28. What suggestions doeschurch give aboutburyingthe dead bodies?
【解析】选项表明本题很可能关于尸体埋藏方式。由选项中 should 可推测本题很可能与建议或意见关。故听音时应重点留意表达建议或意见词句。[D]说在尸体部分腐烂时候将尸体下藏,太符合逻辑,可初步排除。[A]说埋藏时将尸体躺着放,[B]则说埋藏时将尸体立着放,二者正好相反,故很可能为答案。本题选择可结合 27 题,如考生能确定 27 答案为[A],便 可基本确定本题答案为[B]( buried standing up→save land→solveproblemlackland)。
29. What practice doesGreek church object to?
【解析】选项均为动名词表明本题为考查“行为活动”类型。四选项均表示处理尸体方式,故本题很可能关于除埋藏以外其他处理尸体方式。[D]说三年后将尸体挖出,仍然与埋藏尸体关,且属于尸体安置方式,与其他三项内容明显同,故可初步排除。听音时应留意以下要点:b urn;st oreremote place;p lacebone room。本题只要抓住 burn 词便难选出答案。

Questions 3032 are basedthe passage you have just heard.
Passage Two
If you visitbig city anywherethe world, you will probably findrestaurant would servefoodyour own native country. Most large citiesthe United States offer international samplefoods. Many people enjoy eatingfoodother nations. Thisprobably one reason why there are so many different kindsrestaurantsthe United States. A second reasonthat many Americans come from other partsthe world. They enjoy tastingfoodstheir native lands. IncityDetroit,example, there are many people from western Europe, Greece, Latin America,the Far East. There are many restaurantsDetroit which servefoodsthese areas. There are many other international restaurants too. Americans enjoyfoodsthese restaurants as well asopportunitybetter understandpeopletheir waylife. Onethe most common international restaurantsbe foundthe United Statesthe Italian restaurant. The restaurant may besmall business run bysingle family. The motherthe family cooks allthe dishes,the fatherchildren servepeople who comeeat there. Ormay belarge restaurant owned by several different people who worked togetherthe business. Many Italian dishes that Americans enjoy are made with meats, tomatoescheese. They are very delicioustasty.
预览三道题各选项,由选项中 immigrants, other countries, other cultures 以及 eating out, foreign foods, cooking 等词可推测本文与美国移民及美国人饮食习惯关。
30. Why are there so many international restaurantsthe United States?
【解析】选项中 foreign, immigrants 表明本题很可能与美国对外来食物喜好关。 [A]、[C]、[D]三项均与“外来食物”关,[B]说美国人喜欢和朋友“外出吃饭”, 与外来食物无关,故[可初步排除。[D]说美国人更偏爱外来食物而大喜欢自己国家食物,说法过于绝对(这应该只部分美国人喜好),故也可初步排除。因此本题关键就在“ tourists ( 游客)” 和“immigrants(移民)” 之间选择。
3. Why do Americans likegointernational restaurants apart from enjoyingfoods there?
【解析】选项中都含 can 表明本题很可能与做某事能够达到关。由 选项中other countries, other cultures, foreign 等可推测本题很可能涉及到与其他国家人民接触。根 据对主题分析可知本文主要与饮食关,而[C]、[D]分别从语言和商业角度来说,与主题太相关,且从其他各题选项中均找到与这两方面相关线索,故 二者均大可能为答案。故本题主要应在[A](make friends)和[B](know other cultures)之间选择。而根据常识,饮食应该与文化和生活方式联系比较紧密,因此答案为[B]可能性更大。
32. Howit typical Italian family restaurant runthe United States?
【解析】选项中 waitress, serve, guests 以及husband, mother, children 等表明本题很可能与家庭经营餐馆中各家庭成员如何分工关。四选项中负责 cooking 人均同,分别 couple, husband, mother 和 hired cook。故听音时只要辨别出由谁来 cooking即可确定答案。waitsb. 意为“照料或侍侯某人(尤指进餐时)”。

Passage Three

There have been many changesthe rules since then,basketball has become onethe world’s most popular sports.
预览三道题各选项,由选项中 basketball game, basket, rules 等可推测本文与篮球比
赛和比赛规则关。
33. What did Nasmith doentertainstudents one winter day?
【解析】选项中 train, let, taught 表明 he 很可能代指“教练”。 本题很可能问教练
带领或教队员们做什么。[A]说“观看”篮球比赛,而从本题其他选项及 34 题各选
项可知队员们应该亲自在“参与”比赛,故[A]可初步排除。[B]说踢欧洲足球(football),而本题及其他题各选项中涉及篮球(basketball),故[B]也可初步排除。根 据 34 题[C]和 35 题[C]中rules 可推测本文很可能介绍种新型比赛项目(new game),故本题答案最可能为[D]。
34. Accordingthe speaker, what wasproblem withnew game?
【解析】选项中 trouble, difficulty 表明本题很可能与比赛中问题或困难关。[D]比赛过程中具体问题,与 其他三项内容明显同,故可初步排除。因此听音时应重点关注以下要点:问 题-basket too high, ball outbasket, complex rules。
35. How wasproblem withnew game solved?
【解析】选项表明本题关于做某事方式。而前面分析可知,34 题关于比赛中问题或困难,故 本题很可能关于如何解决该问题或困难。因 此本题答案选择可联系 34 题。而稍加分析便难发现,本题中[A]、[B]、[C]分别针对 34 题[B]、[A]、[C]三种问题解决办法,因此只要抓住问题或解决办法中任何方面,便可确定两道题答案。remove 意为“去除,去掉”。

Section C
For Americans, timemoney. They say, “You only get so much timethis life? you’d better usewisely. ” The (36) ______ will not be better thanpast or present, as Americans are (37) ______see things, unless people use their timeconstructive activities. Thus, Americans (38) ______“ wellorganized ” person, one who haswritten listthingsdo and(39) ______doing them. The ideal personpunctual and(40) ______other people’s time. They do not (4) _______ people’s time with conversation or other activity that has no (42) ______ beneficial outcome. The American attitude toward timenot (43) ______shared byothers, especially nonEuropeans. They are more likelyregard time as (44)________________.

In this context (45) _______________. McDonald’s, KFC,other fast food establishments are successfula country where many people wantspendleast amounttime preparingeating meals. As McDonald’s restaurants (46) _______________________, bringing not just hamburgers but an emphasisspeed, efficiency,shiny cleanliness.

(36) future

(38) admire
(39) schedule
(40) considerate
(4) waste
(42) visible
(43) necessarily
(44) something thatsimply there around them, not something they can use
(45)fast-food industry can be seen asclear exampleAmerican cultural product
(46)spread aroundworld, they have been viewed as symbolsAmerican societyculture

(36)空前定冠词及空后 will 表明所填词应为名词,并充当句子主语,而 根据句子后面 thanpast or present 可知此处与“过去”或“现在”比较,很容易就可以联想到“future(未来)” 。
(37) 空前系动词 are 及空后定式表明所填词很可能为过去分词,其逻辑宾语为 Americans。本句中 as 表示“正如”, 引导非限制定语从句,代替前面整句子,因此应注意所填词在意思与前面句子连贯性。
(38) 空前Americans 及空后名词短语表明所填词应充当句子谓语动词,主语为复数,且前后句子时态均为现在时,故此处应填动词原形。“ thus”表明本空所在句子应为前句内容导致结果。既然美国人认为应该把时间用在意义事情,那么他们对于 “wellorganized person(条理人)” 应该持“赞赏(admire)” 态度。
(39) 空前定冠词a 及空后介词短语表明所填词应为单数可数名词。one who has … 应对前面“wellorganized person”解释,并且and 表明本空应与written list 并列。根据文,“wellorganized person”应该指擅长安排时间人,因此他在把要做事情列成清单同时应该把时间也安排好,故本空很可能填“schedule(时间安排表)” 词。
(40) 由可知所填词应与 punctual(准时)并列作表语共同描述“ideal person”特点。根据文所述,理 想人应该能够做到准时并充分“ 尊重”或 “ 考虑”他人时间。故本空很可能填“respectful”或“considerate”。
(4) 空前 They 及空后名词短语表明所填词应充当句子谓语动词,而助动词 do not 决定此处应填动词原形。本空可联系第 40 空分析。本空所在句子仍然描述“ideal person”情况,句中说他们都很准时,言外之意就他们会“浪费(waste)” 别人时间。
(42)空前no 和空后名词短语表明此处应为形容词修饰 outcome(效果)。That 引导定语从句修饰前面conversation or other activity,根据分析,本句应该表示理想会用那些能带来(42)______好处谈话或其他活动去浪费别人时间。而从短文前面内容可知,本文主要强调时间效率,因此这里应该“快速或明显”含义。
(43)本空位于系动词和谓语动词之间,故所填词很可能为副词,修饰动词 shared。本空所在句子含义为美国人对时间态度(43) ______被其他人分享,尤其欧洲以外人。这种说法过于绝对,故所填词应表达种“( )完全或定”含义。后面句子中 more likely 也提示这里应表达种非绝对概念。
(44)空前 regard time as 表明所缺部分应为 as 宾语,故其形式应为名词短语。而本句主语 they 应该指代 nonEuropean,根据句所述,他们应该像美国人那样看重时间。[Main Points] something that simply exists around them, not something they can use
(45)this context 意为“在这种概念促使下”, 指代应该情况,即每天要尽可能节约并效地利用时间,故接下来描述应该文情况所导致结果。而根据空后“McDonald’s, KFC,other fast food”, 所缺部分应该描述快餐店出现。[Main Points]fast food industry can be viewed asgood examplethe cultural productthe U.S
(46) 空前as McDonald’s restaurants 意为“随着麦当劳餐馆…”, 而空后现在分词短语(bringing not…)应该前面内容导致结果,即前面情况仅给人们带来汉堡包而且导致人们对速度、效率和洁净重视,因此此处很可能指美国这种快餐店在其他国家扩展给其他国家带来影响。填空时要注意由于空前 as 引导从句,而 空后现在分词作状语,故所缺部分应该包含从句谓语部分及整主句才能使句子结构完整。[Main Points] spread aroundworld, they have been regarded as symbolsthe societyculturethe U.S
