13、reform. 解析：解析：新闻提到，当地人组成了游行队伍，要求国家的天然气工业国有化(nationalization of the countrys gas industry)，同时要求进行宪法改革(constitutional reform)。故正确答案为 D。由新闻可知，抗议者反对的是外国公司和政府对本国自然资源的开采，故这种开采已在进行，不是抗议者的要求，排除 A。B 中的“新选举”并没有在新闻中提到。C 错在“对本国人口的经济回报”，这并不是抗议者的诉求。A.Calling a new agenda for elections.B.Calming down the anger of

14、the protesters.C.Narrowing the inequality of life in Bolivia. D.Deciding the future of Bolivias natural resources.解析：解析：新闻的末尾提到，克服目前国内巨大的贫富差异(Overcoming the shocking inequality of life)是当下最严峻的挑战，也是唯一能确保未来和平的方法，C 将新闻中的 overcome换成了 narrow“缩窄”，所表达的意思与新闻一致，故为答案。新闻中已明确提到，召开选举(calling elections)和决定玻利维亚自然资

17、C.Korean popular culture.D.The Korean pop music. 解析：解析：新闻从开始就一直围绕着韩语学习的热潮，在新闻前段可以明确听到关于 K-pop的解释(K-pop，Korean popular music)，故答案是 D。A“学习韩语的学生”、B“韩国移民的孩子”是根据新闻主要内容(韩语学习在美国的流行)而捏造的干扰项。C 将新闻中的 music扩大成了 culture。A.The number of U.S. college students rose in the last few years.B.People around the world l

18、ike Korean TV series.C.Children of immigrants want to speak to native speakers.D.The economic power of South Korea is growing. 解析：解析：新闻中提到，韩语学习在全美很快开始流行的原因有：人们喜欢听韩国流行音乐、韩国移民后代想跟长辈交流以及韩国经济实力的增长(growing economic power of South Korea)，D 与最后一个原因相符，故为答案。新闻中说学习韩语的美国大学生人数增加，是韩语受欢迎的表现而非原因，且A“美国大学生人数在过去几年增加”

19、也有没有新闻中提及。B 错在 TV series，人们喜欢的是韩国流行音乐，而不是韩剧。C 错在 native speakers，移民的孩子是想与其长辈交流，与美国当地人交流并不需要说韩语。A.American culture is becoming more global.B.Asian culture is greatly influenced by America.C.American culture is becoming more Asian. D.Asian culture is becoming more global.解析：解析：新闻中提到两位教授，他们都对此现象都发表了意见，

B.The bad weather.C.The gloomy winter.D.The long night.解析：解析：男士说瑞典人在英国的时候总是抱怨即便在晴好的冬天房子里也很冷，因此答案为 A。预读选项，选项都是负面事物

B.They often stay up late reading.C.They like to go camp

23、ing in summer.D.They try to earn more and spend more.解析：解析：男士提到，在夏季的时候，瑞典人喜欢努力工作，但是也会拼命玩乐，因此答案为A。B“他们经常熬夜看书”、C“他们喜欢夏天去露营”和 D“他们试图增加收入和开销”与男士所述不符。A.English Literature.B.Public Administration.C.French.

25、rbyshire.D.West Yorkshire. 解析：解析：女士问男士是否诺丁汉本地人，男士给出了否定回答，并说自己来自西约克郡(West Yorkshire)，D 为答案。A“诺丁汉”是男士就读的大学的所在地。B“伯明翰”和 C“德比郡”录音未提到。A.Its pleasant environment B.Its worldwide fame.C.Its generous scholarships.D.Its well-designed courses.解析：解析：男士在谈到选择诺丁汉大学的时候，提到他喜欢这所大学的样子，校园非常漂亮。可以看出，男士选择诺丁汉大学是因为它宜人的环境，因

B.Japans development of nuclear weapons.C.Suspending nuclear research in Japan.D.A world ban on nuclear technology research.解析：解析：预读选项，全是名词选项，核心词汇是 Japan，world ban，nuclear weaponsresearchtechnology，development，suspending，推

28、测可能问新闻的主题或细节。新闻提到，“长崎市市长伊藤一长呼吁全世界禁止核武器”，听到什么选什么，由此选 A。A.Plotting to kill the president.B.Plotting to kill the Vice-president.C.Plotting to bombard the capital city.D.Plotting to overthrow the government. 解析：解析：第三则新闻开头即称，“在柬埔寨，一位反对派因密谋颠覆政府而被判入狱 7年”，因此选D。选项都说 plotting，只是该“阴谋”的具体内容不同。听到新闻开头的“plotting t

29、o”时，集中注意力，就可以听到 D中的“overthrow the government”原词再现了。A.March 20 through April 2.B.March 21 through April 1.C.March 25 through April 1. D.March 26 through April 2.解析：解析：短文第 2、3 句提到：“可以被确认为愚人节传统开始之日的最切近的年份是 1582年，在法国。在此之前，新年从 3月 25日开始，4 月 1日结束，共庆祝 8天。”因此选 C。考查细节，听到什么选什么。考虑到各选项提到的起始日期均不相同，只要听到原文中的 March

30、25就可以正确作答。A.In the 19th century.B.In the 18th century. C.In the 17th century.D.In the 16th century.解析：解析：短文提到，“该传统最终在 18世纪传入英格兰和苏格兰。”故选 B。由选项知，本题肯定问时间。好在文中只提到一个 18th century，故本题不难解答。A.People must play jokes on friends on April Fools Day.B.Sometimes jokes last until the end of April Fools Day. C.Peop

31、le usually buy interesting gifts for each other on April Fools Day.D.Young lovers often eat out for fun on April Fools Day.解析：解析：短文中提到，“有时候，对亲友开的一些巧妙的现实玩笑会持续一整天”。B 正确。由选项可推知，本题问人们在愚人节这一天会怎么做。“绝对化的选项不是答案”，因为这样的话不合事实。可以由此排除 A(must太绝对)，C(usually，不见得)。本题也可以从时间副词上找到解题钥匙：sometimes不难听出：until the end of the

32、 day 与 last the entire day同义替换。A.The development of jazz music.B.The musician named Charlie Parker. C.The new style of jazz called bebop.D.The death of Charlie Parker.解析：解析：开头两句是主题句，点明文章的中心人物是美国音乐家 Charlie Parker。通篇都在讲他的生平和对美国爵士乐的影响，故主题概括为 B。短文第 1句往往揭示主旨，帮助解题，要格外注意。万一漏听第 1句，则全文多次重复的主题词也可以帮助揭示主题。文中不断

33、地提到 Charlie，句子的主语多是he，his，也可推知本文是人物传记。A.It has a fixed rhythm.B.It is similar to the traditional jazz.C.It is free and spontaneous. D.It is typically an electronic music style.解析：解析：原文中说，“同一支歌每一次演唱方式都不一样”，可见 C正确。听到原文中的 freely或者听懂 So后面的句子，通过逻辑推理，即能得到正确答案。A.1943.B.1945.C.1940.D.1948. 解析：解析：短文说：所以他在 1947年回到了纽约。其后的 4年被认为是他最辉煌的岁月。因此本题选D。A.Europe.
