17、conds to preview the questions. 1 【听力原文】 The sixth World Trade Organization Ministerial Conference will open in Hong Kong a week from tomorrow. Police say they will deploy 9,000 officers, or one thirds of its manpower, during the event. The government says the weeklong conference will bring inconven

Police revealed that they have received applications for public meetings and protests on practically everyday of the week du

19、ring the conference. 1 【正确答案】 D 【试题解析】 数字计算题。本题考到新闻中涉及的一些数据，但是我们不能简单照搬所听到的数字，因为那样并不符合题意。在此，我们需要根据所给信息进行简单地计算。新闻中描述： “警方表示，在会议期间他们将会动用 9000名警力，也就是全港 1 3的警力。 ”根据这句话提供的信息，我们可以算出全港大约有27000警力，所以 D项是正确的选项。 【知识模块】 新闻听力 2 【正确答案】 B 【试题解析】 细节判断题。新闻中有这样一句话： “香港政府表示，为期一周的世贸会议会给公众带来不 便，希望大家理解。 ”B选项中出现了关键的单词incon

20、venience，前面的动词虽然换了，但是和原意差别不大。所以，在此我们应该选择 B项。 【知识模块】 新闻听力 3 【听力原文】 Thousands of people living in villages closest to the volcano have already been moved to emergency shelters. Many more are lining up by the side of the road waiting for trucks to take them to safety. But still there are a few farmers

21、refusing to move. Without their crops and animals they have no income and cannot support their families so theyre waiting until the government offers financial help. Meanwhile, the mountain above them is becoming more active by the day. At least one village about three kilometers from the crater has

22、 been covered in a dusting of volcanic ash. One scientist told the BBC he now believed Merapi was in what he called the early stages of an eruption but he added “we cannot predict when it will reach its peak“. 3 【正确答案】 C 【试题解析】 细节判断题。新闻中描写了火山附近居民在灾害发生之前的不同的行为，有些人已经撤离到紧急的安全棚内，有些人等候政府的卡车把他们载到安全的地方，但也有

23、一些人考虑到灾后的生计问题而拒绝离开。希望政府能在此之前给他们一些保障。所以答案应该选 C。 【知识模块】 新闻听力 4 【听力原文】 Palestinians have exported the first shipment of crops grown in Gaza greenhouses left behind by evacuated Jewish settlers. Palestinian officials said two and a half tons of peppers left Gaza through the Karni Crossing, and will be s

24、old in Israel. The Director of the Palestinian Economic Development Company said he was very pleased. He said the shipment moved without problems and he hopes this will be a good start. Palestinian officials hope to export a further shipment of produce to Europe, via Israel, next week. Until this su

25、mmer, the greenhouses belonged to Jewish settlers in Gaza. When Israel withdrew from Gaza, and dismantled the settlements, private, foreign donors bought the greenhouses for $13 million and gave them to the Palestinians. Palestinian officials say access to the outside world is crucial for strengthen

26、ing Gazas troubled economy. 4 【正确答案】 C 【试题解析】 地点方位题。本段新闻的难点之一就是其中出现了很多考生并不熟悉的地理名称，如果能有一些相关的背景知识，听起来会觉得简单一些。原文中说： “巴勒斯坦官员声称， 2 5吨辣椒经加尼入口已离开加沙并将在以色列出售。 ”因此，我们应该选择 C项。而 D项提到的 Europe则是他们接下来贸易销售的地区。 【知 识模块】 新闻听力 5 【正确答案】 C 【试题解析】 细节判断题。选项中 B项具有很强的迷惑性，新闻开始时提到 “这些温室是由已撤离的犹太定居者留下的。 ”但是我们仔细听下面的内容就会发现有这样一句话明确

27、交待了问题的答案，即 “一些民间和国外的捐赠者以 1300万美元买下这些温室并赠送给巴勒斯坦。 ”由此，我们可以判断正确选项应该是 C项无疑了。 【知识模块】 新闻听力 6 【听力原文】 Eighty-three million miles out in space, a comet had a visitor from planet Earth earlier today. The comet is named Tempel 1 and the visitor was called Deep Impact, which also describes its mission to slam i

28、nto the speeding comet and learn just what its made of. Well, it worked. It was a brilliant success. The picture perfects collision of Deep Impacts unmanned probe, the explosion of images and data. Even Mission Controllers could barely believe theyd pulled off such a brash technological feat. 6 【正确答

29、案】 C 【试题解析】 细节分析题。由于本段新闻涉及的是有关科学技术的话题，所以听起来并不是太轻松。但是题目本身不难，新闻中有两处提到了 “深度撞击 ”的使命，如： “ 弄明白该彗星是由什么组成的 ”， “撞击情况、成像和数据都十分理想 ”，综合这些信息，正确答案应该是 C项。 【知识模块】 新闻听力 7 【听力原文】 This was one of the most daring prison breakouts to take place in Greece. The helicopter landed in a courtyard of Korydallos prison in Athe

30、ns as those on board threw flares into the area. Amid the confusion, two inmates managed to climb into the helicopter which took off again, flying to a nearby cemetery. The escaped prisoners then fled with their accomplices on motorbikes which have since been found near the port of Piraes. One of th

31、e men, Vassilis Paleokostas, was serving a twenty-five-year sentence for kidnapping and bank robbery. Its thought his brother, whos been on the run since 1990, was behind the breakout. The police have arrested the helicopter pilot, who says he was forced to fly to the prison at gunpoint. Korydallos

32、holds some of the countrys most notorious criminals, including the leaders of the militant left-wing organization, November Seventeenth, who were found guilty of murdering politicians, businessmen and foreign diplomats. 7 【正确答案】 A 【试题解析】 细节判断题。新闻在中间部分交待其中一名越狱者在逃跑之前所犯的罪行即绑架罪和银行抢劫罪，新闻后面的谋杀罪是描述某些在克瑞达洛斯

33、监狱关押的罪犯的罪行，而不是这名越狱者的罪行，所以正确选项应该是 A项。 【知识模块】 新闻听力 8 【正确答案】 C 【试题解析】 细节判断题。越狱事件发生的这座监狱在雅典具有一定的知名度，是因为它 “关押的都是一些臭名昭著的罪犯，其中包括了好战左翼组织的领导人 ”。本题的解答关键在于知道 C中的 infamous是 “声名狼藉的 ”之义，等同于原文中的 notorious。 【知识模块】 新闻听力 9 【听力原文】 Many people may be nervous about using online bill pay. But a new report says it can be

34、safer than using traditional methods. The story posted on reports, Javelin Strategy and Research says, eliminating paper bills makes it harder for thieves to steal information, often done by searching a persons mail. The report claims that by simply buying into the high-teach approach, customers ca

35、n save $4.8 billion in fraud costs each year. The group also says people who use Internet banking or bill pay are more likely to monitor their transactions on a regular basis. One of the snags, though, most companies do charge a monthly fee for the online services. 9 【正确答案】 A 【试题解析】 细节判断题。在对比在线支付和传统

36、支付两种方式哪一种更为安全时，新闻中这样描述： “由于窃贼通常用搜索私人信件的方式来窃取资料。消灭纸质账单将使窃贼更难得逞。 ”本题虽然问的是在线支付的好处，但是因为文中没有正面回答，选项 A变化角度作答，没有违背原意，是最佳答案。 【知识模块】 新闻听力 10 【正确答案】 C 【试题解析】 细节复现题。新闻在最后直接说明了发展在线服务存在的障碍之一就是收费问题，而且为了加强语气，新闻在播报时还特意在 charge a monthly fee前面使用了 do这个词。注意到这点，选出正确选项 C项作为答案就不算难了。 【知识模块】 新闻听力 11 【听力原文】 A coalition of i

37、ndustry, native communities, and environmental groups has reached an agreement to protect the worlds largest intact forest in Canada. The Boreal Forest makes up more than half of Canada, and under a new agreement, at least half of it would be off limits to any industrial development logging, oil and

38、 gas exploration, or agriculture. The remaining half would be open to development only under strict conditions. The agreement called the Boreal Forest Conservation Framework has been in the works for three years and lacks the force of law, but Canadas leading industries say theyre committed to the d

39、eal. 11 【正确答案】 A 【试题解析】 主旨大意题。新闻在导语部分对该项协议的目的做了简单的概括：“一个由工业、当地社区组织和环保团体组成的联盟达成了一项旨在保护加拿大境内世界上最大的原始森林的倡议。 ”这一点听起来很明确，所以正确选项 A项被确定比较容易。 【知识模块】 新闻听力 12 【正确答案】 C 【试题解析】 细节判断题。这道题的设置方式具有一定的迷惑性，尽管新闻中提到协议规定为了保护森林不能进行任何的工业或农业的开发，但是更重要的一点在于新闻结尾处谈到该协议的性质 时明确表示 “协议不具有法律效力 ”，所以 A和 B两项是迷惑项，只有选项 C才是正确答案。 【知识模块】 新

40、闻听力 13 【听力原文】 The 34-member Organization of the American States, the OAS, on Tuesday rejected a United States call to monitor democracy to its final statement. The statement called on OAS Secretary-General Jose Miguel to draw up proposals to assure the democratic process and the rule of law in the r

This comes after Venezuela accused Washington of helping opposition groups try to unseat Preside Hugo Chavez, and the resignation of Bolivia and Ecuadors presidents afte

42、r street protests. 13 【正确答案】 C 【试题解析】 态度判断题。新闻的后面详细阐述了为什么美洲国家组织在声明中否决了美国关于建立监督民主机制的要求，原因就是 “几个成员国认为， 美国此举意在干预他国内政 ”。此外，结尾还举了例子来进一步地印证。因此， C项作为答案是不言而喻的。 【知识模块】 新闻听力 14 【听力原文】 Israel has denied responsibility for the explosion which killed seven Palestinians on the beach in Gaza last Friday. After the

43、 explosion, the armed wing of Hamas abandoned the six-month long ceasefire, leading to a spiral of attacks and counterattacks. From Jerusalem, N.C. reports. “The Israeli Defense Minister, the Chief of Staff and the General who conducted the enquiry all lined up at the news conference to insist the a

44、ctivities of the Israeli defense forces last Friday were not responsible for the incident on the beach. The enquiry, they said, had countered for all Israeli weapons used on that day. It looked at the timing of the incident as the Israeli military assessed it, and the pieces of shrapnel recovered fr

The Palestinians and some human rights experts are already rejecting these findings which were released to the Israel

46、i media.“ 14 【正确答案】 D 【试题解析】 推理判断题。尽管巴以双方各执一词，但是也都没有直接的证据说明，谁究竟应该对这起事件负责。新闻中提到以色列军方说他们对爆炸的原因也不很清楚，一再否认策划了该起爆炸，所以究竟谁是凶手，目前还不得而知，只能留待将来再做结论，所以最合适的答案也就是 D项了。 【知识模块】 新闻听力 15 【正确答案】 D 【试题解析】 细节判断题。此题涉及到新闻内容的面比较广，需要关注新闻的几个要点。新闻开始的几个句子对我们很有帮助，例如： “ 这起爆炸造成了 7名巴勒斯坦人死亡。 ”“爆炸过后，军事组织哈马斯摈弃了 6个月的停火协议，导致双方一段时间的袭击和

47、回击。 ”可帮我们有效地排除前 3项，留下的 D项自然是要选的答案了。 【知识模块】 新闻听力 16 【听力原文】 Can green tea fight cancer? Green tea is one of the most popular drinks in Asia. Its different from most American teas because its leaves are raw, not fermented. Japanese scientists have discovered that green tea can lower cholesterol and sto

Free radicals are in every body, but too many can stimulate cancer growth, green tea pumps up the immune system to make the charge and break apart cancer cells. The Japanese drink several cups of green tea a d

49、ay and have very low levels of lung cancer, even though they are known to be among the worlds heaviest smokers. 16 【正确答案】 C 【试题解析】 推理判断题。由题目中的 infer这个单词，我们就应该知道原文中直接出现的内容是不能成为正确答案的。所以 B项可以最先排除。选项 A和 D与原文意思不完全相符 (A少了 most， D少了 green)，所以也不能选。原文说： “日本人每天喝几杯绿茶，而虽然他们是世界上吸烟最厉害的民族之一，他们患肺癌的几 率却很低。 ”可知大量吸烟易患癌症，因此 C正确。 【知识模块】 新闻听力 17 【听力原文】 In 2005 we all looked on in awe at the devastation of New Orleans at the hands of hurricane Katrina but the wider world barely noticed recently, when a storm of very similar powe
