40、 the purchase? 14. Why does the woman refuse the mans request? 15. What does the woman say about the rule? 12 【正确答案】 C 【试题解析】 四个选项都是动词不定式，题目应该是问目的或将做什么。男士说： “我想要你帮我修 it”。此处的 it指代前面提到的 cassette player。所以 C正确。 【知识模块】 听力 13 【正确答案】 D 【试题解析】 结合前后两题的选项，猜测本题选项中的 It应该是指 tape或cassette player，可先排除 C。对话开始男士提到

41、“它已经弄坏了四盒我最喜欢的磁带 ”，后来又强调 “它确实会吞带 ”。所以 D正确。 【知识模块】 听力 14 【正确 答案】 B 【试题解析】 根据选项判断，本题可能是问他 (要求退换货品 )被拒绝的原因。女士一再强调 “你的保修期已经过了 ”。所以 B正确。 【知识模块】 听力 15 【正确答案】 D 【试题解析】 男士说只迟 10天，叫女士稍微通融一下，女士说给他破例，那就得给所有人破例，她在对话最后还说规则就是规则，她很抱歉帮不上忙，可见她认为任何人都不能破坏规则，所以 D正确。 【知识模块】 听力 Section C 16 【听力原文】 Many people suffer from

43、 to work, to sleep and to go to places they feared to visit before. But the effects of the drugs on the human body, especially on the nervous system have not been known for a long time. Scientists have started a series of studies to identify the effects of the drugs on the brain and have gained some

44、 insight into the costs and benefits of the anti-anxiety drugs. They are valuable because they can reduce the effects of expected failure, frustration and disappointment. But their value demands a price. Two effects of the drugs are obviously harmful.18First, they weaken a persons ability to react t

45、o changes; second, they fail to help a person deal with unexpected troubles. It is fairly sure that people will meet with problems they have never expected, so17these harmful effects may make the price of anti-anxiety drugs too high. 16. According to the speaker, what is the best way to manage anxie

46、ty? 17. What does the speaker say about the anti-anxiety drugs? 18. What harmful effect do the anti-anxiety drugs have? 16 【正确答案】 A 【试题解析】 本题符合短文听力 “听到什么就选什么 ”的原则。原文说病人控制焦虑症的最好方法是服用药物。因此 A正确。语义突出之处 (如本处的形容词最高级 )常设考点。 【知识模块】 听力 17 【正确答案】 D 【试题解析】 原文先说药物很有效，再说它的副作用，即服用药物付出的代价大。 D是最准确的概括表达。 B的错误在于原文并未比

47、较药物的作用与副作用， C项错把原文中提到的 price“代价 ”理解为 “价格 ”。 【知识模块】 听力 18 【正确答案】 C 【试题解析】 选项都是某些东西对人的不良影响；结合第 26题选项中的medicine一词，可以猜测本题问的是某种药物的副作用。因此听到 effects和harmful时就要注意。原文说这种药物会减弱人们的应变能力，选项 C就是这句话的同义表达。 【知识模块】 听力 19 【听力原文】 Deep Springs is an American college.
