38、ts are true or false. You will hear the passages only ONCE. There are 10 questions in this part of the test, for each question.（分数：20.00）_解析：According to the speaker, the first modern Olympic Games were held as an international competition.（分数：20.00）A.正确B.错误 解析：解析：在围绕中心话题的纷繁信息中把握重要人物的主要观点和主张。根据信号词 d

39、esire 找到重要人物 Baron Pierre de Coubertin 的主张是解题的关键。(2).The Clinton administration thought that the ban of US aid to Pakistan successfully stopped the spread of nuclear weapons in South Asia.（分数：2.00）A.正确B.错误 解析：解析：能够正确找到指示代词所指对象是解题关键。原文该发言人所提的没能推进美国制止南亚核武器传播的目标的法律，就是指禁止向巴基斯坦提供援助的命令。(3).Inflation occur

40、s when government sectors intervene the capitalist economic system.（分数：2.00）A.正确B.错误 解析：解析：1)掌握表示因果关系的信号词，可以帮助听者作出正确的判断。题干中 occur 表明该题重点在于找寻和判断 inflation 的原因，由此可使听者将重点放在找寻原文关于 inflation 的原因上；2)同义词替换。本题需掌握 stem from 与题干中的 occur 同义，均是表示因果关系的信号词。(4).The speaker says that the periods of seismic activity

41、 are increasingly complex and may cause the earth to wobble.（分数：2.00）A.正确B.错误 解析：解析：识别听力材料中的关键信息，并对其上下文充分理解，是解答本题的关键。如本题中的关键信息是 seismic activity，如果对有关该词部分的内容充分理解，便能作出正确的判断。(5).According to the speaker, a seat belt and an upright seat provide less protection for car passengers.（分数：2.00）A.正确B.错误 解析：解析
