15、James Dean move back to Indiana when he was young? 3. What does the man say James Dean did at college in California? 4. What do we learn about James Dean from the conversation? 1 【 正确答案】 A 【试题解析】 从选项预测本题问某人在做什么。女士在开始时说欢迎大家来到今晚这一期的 “传奇人生 ”节目，故选 A。需特别注意排除干扰项 C。从女士的介绍中可知，节目主题是某位电影明星，但主持人的采访对象是该明星的传记作者，

16、而非明星本人。 【知识模块】 听力 2 【正确答案】 B 【试题解析】 节目嘉宾说 Dean到加州四年后母亲去世了，他被父亲送回印第安纳州和姨妈同住。 B是 his mother passed away的同义转换，为正确答案。考点体现 “语义重心 ”出题原则。逻辑关系词 because往往是考点所在。 A利用原词 aunt制造干扰。 C、 D在对话中没有提到。 【知识模块】 听力 3 【正确答案】 C 【试题解析】 节目嘉宾说 Dean在中学时已经开始演戏，在加州读大学期间开始认真地学习表演，故选 C。 get into“ 对 发生兴趣，专攻 ”。本题只要抓听到went to college

Do you think it was

18、 necessary and fair to arrest Steve Bril? M: I dont know whether you realize that this man has been eating up our park for five years.

20、at, not to eat. Its just as if youre going to allow people to walk through a zoo, and eat the baby bears.

21、at he is doing is illegal. He knows an awful lot about wild weeds. Well be very happy to let him organize tours if he just wouldnt eat the plants and wouldnt encourage other people to do so, too.

23、女士质问逮捕 Steve Bril是否有必要或公正，男士指出 Steve Bril做过的恶行：吃公园的野生生物达 5年之久；每天都鼓动他人吃公园的野生生物；组织团伙蓄意破坏城市野生生物。可见， B项 “破坏城市野生生物 ”是对录音原文的概况，故为答案。 A项 “损坏公共基础设施 ”、 C项 “在公园里组织集会 ”都没有在录音中提及。 D项 “伤害幼小动物 ”是干扰项，虽与下文 eat the baby bears对应，但是前面有 as if，表示是假设的内容，不能选。 【知识模块】 听力 6 【正确答案】 C 【试题解析】 女士接着问 Steve Bril的那些恶行持续了 5年，怎么突然决定要

24、对他进行处理。男士回答，刚开始他们只是认为 Steve Bril古怪而已，但经过这么多年才发现他其实很危险。由此可见，多年没逮捕 Steve Bril的原因是没清醒地意识到 Steve Bril的危险性，所以选 C项。 A项 “他贿赂门卫封口 ”、 B项 “人们对于他的行为看法不一 ”都没有录音依据，故排除。男士说他们刚开始只是认为他古怪而已， D项的 “精神疾病 ”过度夸大了 Steve Bril精神状态的恶劣程度，不能选。 【知识模块】 听力 7 【正确答案】 C 【试题解析】 女士替 Steve Bril求情，询问男士这一方是否可以不采取这么严厉的措施来阻止 Steve Bril的所作所

26、动物 ”、 C项 “组织他人对抗行政机关 ”、 D项 “光天化日下殴打公园门卫 ”均没有录音依据。 【知识模块】 听力 Section B 9 【听力原文】 The number of speakers of English in Shakespeares time is estimated to have been about five million.
