26、 want-ads的误解，且与女士所说的恰恰相反。 【知识模块】 听力 6 【听力原文】 M: Alan is in the basement, trying to repair the washing machine. W: Shouldnt he be working on his term paper?

34、ness to them. W: Yes, I agree. 9. What is the main idea of this conversation? 10. Why does the man buy a sweater which he doesnt like? 11. What is characteristic of the sweater that the man bought? 12. What is the womans suggestion? 9 【正确答案】 B 【试题解析】 主旨题。男士一开始就说他买的并不是他想要的，所以 A项可以排 除。紧接着他又抱怨推销员鼓动他，在他

35、还没有反应过来的情况下就把东西卖给他了。 C、 D项是对话中提到的部分内容，并非重点所在。因此，选项 B为答案。 【知识模块】 听力 10 【正确答案】 D 【试题解析】 细节题。男士说推销员不停地向他介绍，这件 sweater是最流行的式样，而且有很优惠的折扣，他还没弄明白怎么回事就付了钱。男士还不清楚情况就付钱很明显是中了推销员的圈套，所以答案是 D项。 A项对话中并没有提到，而 B、 C两项是推销员的理由。 【知识模块】 听力 11 【正确答案】 D 【试题解析】 细节题。四个选项都是表特征的词，问题有可能是询问哪件物品具有什么特征，听音时要注意稍做记录。对话中男士提到买回家的衣服无图案

36、 (no pattern)， D项 Patternless是其同义表达，故为答案。 A项在对话中并没有提到，故不正确； B、 C两项是男士打算要买的毛衣所具有的特征，但并非男士实际买到的毛衣所具有的特征，故均可排除。 【知识模块】 听力 12 【正确答案】 C 【试题解析】 细节题。听了男士的叙述，女士认为他容易受骗，建议他学会怎样拒绝 (原文中的 stand up to即 C中的 turn down)那些强行推销的人。因此，答案为C。 A、 D两项是男士的意思，女士只是表示了赞同。女士讲她自己在家里拥有final say，而不是指男士的妻子，所以 B项不正确。 【知识模块】 听力 13 【听

37、力原文】 M: Hi, honey! Whats going on? W: I have great news to tell you. I just found out that I was accepted as an R.A. next year! M: Thats really great news!

Why does the man feel sorry? 15. Where does this conversation most probably take place? 13 【正确答案】 B 【试题解析】 细节题。男士是一个乐观主义者，对失业并

41、不绝望， A项显然错误。同时他表示，只要是女士喜欢的专业，自己都无条件支持她，故 C项错误而B项正确。 D为无关选项。预读选项可推测问题与男士有关，因此听音时可一一对选项做出正误判断，听到问题后再提取符合要求的选项。 【知识模块】 听力 14 【正确答案】 C 【试题解析】 细节题。男士感到抱歉是因为自己使女士不得不 postpone“推迟 ”她出国留学的时间，答案为 C项。 A项并 不是男士感到抱歉的真正原因，但它有可能先入为主，对考生产生极强的干扰。 【知识模块】 听力 15 【正确答案】 D 【试题解析】 推理判断题。在对话快结束时，女士明确说她得挂电话了，抓住关键词 hang up就不

42、难得出答案为 D。 【知识模块】 听力 Section B 16 【听力原文】 Paul, a salesman from London, was driving past a sports car parked outside a supermarket when he saw it start to roll slowly down the hill.

43、orts car and tried to stop it pushing against the front of the car. Another man, who was standing nearby, got into the car and put on the hand brake, saving the girls from injury. It was at this point that16Paul noticed his own car rolling slowly down the hill and going too fast for him to stop it.

44、It crashed into a bus at the bottom of the hill and was so badly damaged that it had to be pulled away to a garage. As if this was not bad enough, Paul now found he had no one to blame. He was so busy chasing his car that he did not get the name of the driver of the sports car17who just came out of

45、the supermarket and drove away without realizing what had happened. 16. Which car was badly damaged? 17. Where was the driver of the sports car when the accident happened? 18. Who did Paul think was to blame for the accident? 19. Who was injured in the accident? 16 【正确答案】 C 【试题解析】 题目询问哪辆车受到了严重损坏。关键是

46、听到 “Paul看到自己的车慢慢滑下了山 ，在山脚下与一辆公交车相撞，损坏得非常严重 。 ”符合短文听力 “听到什么选什么 ”的原则。选项 A、 D中提到的车是 Paul挽救的；文中没有提到选项 B的内容。 【知识模块】 听力 17 【正确答案】 D 【试题解析】 关键是听懂文章最后一句，其中提到 “跑车司机刚走出超市 ”，说明事故发生时，那个司机在超市里。故答案为 D。文中说跑车里面没有司机，所以A不 正确；在山脚下的是一辆公交车，不是跑车司机，所以 B不正确；文中提到Paul的车受损严重，要拖去 garage，故选项 C与问题无关。 【知识模块】 听力 18 【正确答案】 A 【试题解析】

47、 题目询问 Paul认为这场事故的发生是谁的错。关键是听到文章最后所述： “Paul现在发现没人可责备，他忙着追自己的车，以至于没能得到跑车司机的名字，而那个司机根本不知道发生了什么事，扬长而去了。 ”Paul去挽救跑车，才导致自己的车严重损坏，因此事故责任在跑车司机，即 A。文章中没有提到车里的两个女孩做了些什么， 因而与事故的发生无关， B不正确； C中提到的男士挽救了跑车和车里的人，不是导致事故的人；选项 D所指的人即 Paul。 【知识模块】 听力 19 【正确答案】 A 【试题解析】 题目询问谁在事故中受了伤。全文没有提到任何人受伤，即 A。文中与两个女孩有关的原话是 “另一个站在附
