Maybe the window doesnt op

2、en. Maybe an air-conditioner is missing or does not work. If there are any problems, you can go to the Complaint Office, which is right beside the teaching building between the Parker Street and the Crammer Street. Just tell them your problem and they should have it fixed by the time you graduate in

3、 four years. Im joking, but please be patient. There are a lot of little things they need to take care of. Tired of the school food? No? Give it a week. Or maybe you just need a place to get coffee in the wee hours of the night during one of those marathon study sessions. Either way, you definitely

4、have to check out the little Cafe just past the womens dormitories. Theyve got free Wi-Fi, so a lot of students saddle up with coffee and a bagel for hours on end to get work done. As for the dorm rooms, I have some bad news and some good news. The bad news is the rooms are small and youll probably

5、be sharing space with at least three other students. The good news is that each room has its own bathroom. Whats good about sharing a bathroom with three strangers? Hmmm .good question. OK, call it bad news and worse news. Hey, maybe try this for good news: each dorm has a kitchen. If you want to ma

6、ke snacks or meals, you can do it there. You can buy food containers at any campus convenience store, so you can store your food in the kitchen. But a word of warning: you should definitely write your name on your food containers. Sad to say, there are food thieves among your fellow students. Speaki

7、ng of thieves, a word about security. I mean this is Australia and we do get drunken bush-rangers wandering onto campus. Each of you will be given a key for your dorm room. Dont lose it. You have to pay for any replacement and fill out a bunch of papers too. Red tape, huh? Your key does not work for

8、 the front door of your dorm, however. To the right of each door, there is a keypad with numbers. When you move in, they will tell you the code you use to enter the door. Please do NOT tell the code to people who do not live in the dorm. Lets see. Have I forgotten anything? Oh, yes. Most of you are

9、not rich, correct? So when your clothes get dirty, you cant just throw them away and buy new ones. That means you have to learn to do laundry. Or, men, that means you have to hurry up and get married. If you decide to wash those clothes and not get married, there are laundries in each dorm. Where? O

10、h, I almost forgot to tell you. The laundry for each dorm is in the basement. Some real good news this time: if you are a student, it is free. You do have to buy your own soap, however. The laundry closes, by the by, at 11:30. And, now that Ive mentioned 11:30, please remember the dorm doors are loc

11、ked at 11:30 p.m Your code will not work. If you want to get in, youll have to call the night watchman. Dont worry, you can get that number at the Dorm Office. Yes, the Dorm Office and the Complaint Office are the same office. All right, then. Before we continue, are there any questions? 11 【正确答案】 E

12、 【试题解析】 E A B D C本题型为地图题，主要考查路线及方向等内容的表述。一般多会从 Main Gate开始描述。所以一开始要注意听 Main Gate的左右方向，以及图中道路的名称，这些都会作为描述和定位的信息。所有图中出现的单词都需要仔细辨读。 12 【正确答案】 A 13 【正确答案】 B 14 【正确答案】 D 15 【正确答案】 C 16 【正确答案】 bathroom 【试题解析】 bathroom本题有可能会错填成 space，因为录音 中出现过 be sharing space这个短语。但实际上题干问的是 Students dont need to share 由此可见

13、， space并不符合题意。此外，录音中重复提到 bathroom这个词，想必填出此答案还是不难的。同时，考生也应该能看出，很多题目并不是从语义上进行分析，而是从词性、重复信息等技巧上搜索答案的。 17 【正确答案】 food containers 【试题解析】 food containers本题比较简单。录音中直接出现 write your name on ，只是需要注 意填写复数形式。对于这种信息比较明显、直接的，做题时不要犹豫，也不要过多地去考虑为什么要把名字写在盛食物器皿上。有时，太关注意思会拖做题的后腿 ! 18 【正确答案】 code 【试题解析】 code本题根据冠词 a，可知空

14、格处需填写名词，对应原文： Tell you the code you use to enter the door此句中只有 code能作为答案填写。 19 【正确答案】 basement 【试题解析】 basement本题遵循介词不换原则，在文中搜寻 in后面的名词，所以答 案为 basement。 20 【正确答案】 11:30 【试题解析】 11： 30本题为时间题，较简单，必拿下 ! 20 【听力原文】 (Knocking at the door) PROFESSOR: Come in! BETTY: Professor Dundee? Were ready to make our p

15、resentation. PROFESSOR: Oh, yes. I did say one oclock, didnt I? Please, sit down. So, who goes first? Bruce? Or you, Betty? BETTY: I guess I could. Bruce is always a little shy. PROFESSOR: Not after hes had a lager for lunch, eh Bruce? BRUCE: Heh, heh. No, Betty really should go first. BETTY: OK. We

16、ll, Im reporting on the effects of different marketing strategies on the cheese and oil markets. Different strategies obviously affect the sales volume differently. I looked at the sales in two countries, New Zealand and Colombia. PROFESSOR: And what did you find, pray tell? BETTY: Well, in New Zeal

17、and the sales of both oil and cheese have declined pretty steadily. And in fact the sales have decreased more quickly than the population. On the other hand, in Colombia, the volume of sales for both products has remained the same. PROFESSOR: Wait, so you said sales in New Zealand have been going do

18、wn? BETTY: Correct. Suppliers have introduced two new upscale brands of each product, which are a bit expensive but very tasty. The big ad agencies are trying out a new series of ads that shift the focus from health to great taste. They think that will get sales moving up in New Zealand, where the p

19、opulation is less affluent and generally less health-conscious. PROFESSOR: Brilliant. Thank you. And Bruce? BRUCE: Uhhh.yeah. My report is about chocolate sales in Italy and Germany. The two countries marketers have found out that you have to market chocolate differently in each country. PROFESSOR:

20、For example? BRUCE: In Italy, “Kostig“, the most expensive brand, pays shop owners to put the candy just about knee-high for an adult. PROFESSOR: I dont see. BRUCE: For little kids, thats about eye-level! That bright red candy is the first one they see, so they buy it! Even better, they start tellin

21、g their moms to buy it too! PROFESSOR: So, you mean. BRUCE: Well, I mean, in Italy if you locate your product at the right location of shelves, sales do great. They say it doesnt matter much what brand of chocolate youre selling. As for Germany. PROFESSOR: “Das Land der Schokolade“. BRUCE: Huh? PROF

22、ESSOR: Thats German. It means “The Land of Chocolate“. Germans love the stuff, so people make a joke and call Germany that. BRUCE: Oh.uh, right. PROFESSOR: So, you were saying? BRUCE: Well, like you pointed out, Germans love chocolate. But theyre thrifty. For a long time, the biggest selling brand w

23、as “Schmutzig“, mostly because it was the second cheapest, but didnt taste too bad. PROFESSOR: Again brilliant! A pretty good job, both of you. Tell me, what do you plan to investigate for next week? BETTY: Im especially interested in the effects of color on sales of products, so Ill be looking at a

24、ds for cosmetics and cleaning products in the local market. You know, like the distinct orange color of Mr Muscle, lavatory cleaning products. PROFESSOR. And you, Bruce? BRUCE: Im focusing on the effects of different containers on sales of cookies. So Im going to look into packaging for cookies and

25、how the materials they use will affect the image, and in turn sales. You know, most containers are paper, but some expensive cookies come in metal boxes. The shiny metal boxes catch peoples attention and the image remains in the memory longer. PROFESSOR: Well, it sounds like you two are all set. But

26、 as always in this course, I urge you both to pay much more attention to advertisement extensions. Thats often the key. Alright, any questions for me before you go? BETTY: No, I think Im all set. Thanks! BRUCE: Me too. Thanks, Professor Dundee. See ya later. 21 【正确答案】 B 【试题解析】 B C根据题干，我们得知本题考查的是 New

27、 Zealand and Colombia这两个国家奶酪的销售情况，既然是曲线图，就要注意听录音中的上升、下降等表示趋势的词语。原文： In New Zealand the sales of both oil and cheese have declined pretty steadily因此 B选项急速下降为正确选项之一。而原文： In Colombia， the volume of sales for both products has remained the same所以 C选项保持不变亦为正确选项。 22 【正确答案】 C 23 【正确答案】 A 【试题解析】 A B本题考查的是意大

28、利和德国这丽个国家巧克力的销售策略。通过地理位置可以定位，原文： In Italy if you locate your product on the fight location of shelves， sales do great所以 A为正确选项之一。原文： For a long time， the biggest selling brand was“Schmutzig”， mostly because it was the second cheapest其前一句提到德国人喜爱巧克力，所以得出 B也是正确选项。 24 【正确答案】 B 25 【正确答案】 color/colour 【试题

29、解析】 color colour,cleaning products这两道题定位相对容易，而且录音中也反复提及相关内容。注意，即使不确定或没听清楚要填的内容，也可根据强调、重复即可能是答案的原则，先把这些内容记录下来。 26 【正确 答案】 cleaning products 27 【正确答案】 container 【试题解析】 container题千中短语 be interested in在录音中发生了替换，原文： Im focusing on the effects of different containers on sales of cookies其中 be focusing on与

30、be interested in意思吻合，此外，空格之后为 s，所以此处填写单数名词 container即可。 28 【正确答案】 materials 【试题解析】 materials， image本题相对稍有难度。题干问的是三者之间的关系。录音中并未提及 relationships一词，但是却有相关表述，暗示报告中会调查研究所用材质是如何影响品牌形象的，反过来又对销售有何影响。对应原文为：Im going to look intoand how the materials they use will affect the image ， and in turn sales由于题目限制不超过两

31、个单词，所以此处可以省略冠词，直接写最主要的内 容即可。 29 【正确答案】 image 30 【正确答案】 advertisement 【试题解析】 advertisement本题属于简单题，录音原文为： I urge you both to pay much more attention to advertisement extensions题干只是变换了问法，所以明显答案应为 advertisement。 30 【听力原文】 Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen. Id like to take this opportunity to welcome

32、you to our exhibition, “Two Centuries of the Bike“. Lets stroll around the exhibition, shall we? Although there were a few early efforts back in the 1700s, you didnt really see many bikes till, say, the 1830s in England. Bikes were a response to the rapid growth of cities early in the 19th Century.

33、Cities like London were getting too big to walk across! The early bike let people travel with less effort than walking. Plus a bike was a lot cheaper than a horse! Think of it. No one invented a bike for, what, five thousand years of human history? Why did people do it then? Probably because this wa

34、s the start of the Machine Age: people wanted machines to do all the work. There were some drawbacks however. For one thing, there were no pedals. You simply pushed yourself along using your feet. Kind of like todays skateboard. That meant you went fairly slow. And uphill, you actually worked harder

35、, pushing that two-wheeler. Plus, the wheels were made of wood covered with metal, as you can see from this model. So the downside was that the ride was quite uncomfortable on most roads. Only a few gadget lovers had or used them. By the 1860s, though, improvements were being made. As you can see fr

36、om this specimen, metal frames had become the rule. Theyre more durable than wood, and they dont warp in the rain. The biggest improvement however was the development of the chain and sprocket system. They are connected. This meant you did not push the bike. You used pedals just like today. You had

37、to try harder to balance, so it took some practice to figure out how to use the pedals. But it made the ride so much easier. As a result, the good thing was that you could ride a lot more smoothly and with very little effort. By the 1880s, another big change was the use of rubber wheels. These becam

38、e pretty common at that time. Though the first ones were solid rubber, the ride was a good deal more comfortable than the old iron and wood system. This is a big consideration because the faster you go, the more you feel every bump. Air-filled tyres - “pneumatic tyres“ - didnt really come into use t

39、ill around the year 1900, as you can see from this exhibition over here. That made the ride even more comfortable. So, by 1890 or so, people were going a lot faster and a lot more smoothly. There was one problem when you were going quickly and comfortably: “OH NO! HOW DO I STOP“?! Yes, we all laugh

40、now. But for a long time, the only way to stop was drag your feet. That didnt work very well and it would be dangerous if you were going fast. In the crowded cities of those years -New York, Chicago, and so on - you would get killed if you couldnt stop for, say, a streetcar. Plus look at this bike.

41、The front wheel is nearly a meter and two-thirds tall! They made them that way so you could see over people and wagons. But, you couldnt drag your feet. This model is called a “velocipede“ - a “speed pedal.“ Another characteristic of the bike in this period is that it has two equal-sized wheels, whi

42、ch signaled a big change in bikes. For with the velocipede, brakes appeared. If you wanted to stop, you just pushed the pedal backwards. Doing that stopped the back wheel of the bike. This technique worked a lot better than dragging your feet, or jumping off the high seat there! This meant that bike

43、s became a great deal safer. It would have been safer if people wore helmets, but the first bicycle helmet wasnt invented until years later, and even then it was little more than a leather ballcap. It really wasnt until the 1970s that the bike helmet was modified to provide some real protection. Bef

44、ore continuing on to look at developments since the 1890s, lets say a word more about safety. Everyone knows if youre going downhill, you can get going dangerously fast. To go more than a hundred kilometres an hour isnt all that difficult! But even on level ground its easy to go too quickly. On a ci

45、ty street, todays bicycles can be ridden at a speed of over forty miles an hour, over a short distance. Thats about sixty-four kilometres an hour. Remember youre on a bike, not in a car. Theres nothing to protect you. People are killed in single-bicycle accidents every day, just from hitting the roa

46、d. A good rule to remember is, if youre going faster than the cars, slow down. And please wear a helmet. Nearly one-quarter of the epilepsy cases come from head injuries in accidents on bikes and motorcycles. I didnt mean to scare you, but safety is everyones business. What? Now thats a good questio

47、n. Why are todays bikes so much faster? Well its not just that todays athletes are faster. The answer is partly mechanical. If you look closely here, at the back wheel youll see a number of gears. Changing gears is what makes those fast speeds possible. You can shift gears depending on the terrain a

48、nd how hard you wish to pedal. So you can put it on a higher gear for downhill, and a lower gear for uphill travel to make it easier to climb that slope. Youll notice this gear-shifting mechanism is attached at the back wheel, and when the rider shifts on the handlebar gear-shifter, the chain moves

49、to the appropriate sprocket. And, speaking of changing gears, lets look over here at our “Tour de France“ exhibit 31 【正确答案】 less effort 【试题解析】 less effort本题为横向表格题，以时间发展为纵轴，所以在听到表头 1830年时，就应提笔准备搜 索并填写答案了。由于本题无明显替换，所以听到less effort than walking这句的时候即可写出答案。但是要注意信息的完整性，光写 effort是不得分的，而且通过读题也可看出答案要写成比较级形式。 32 【正确答案】 uncomfortable 【试题解析】 uncomfortable该题所在纵列要填写 disadvantage，首先通过观察该列的其他内容，大概得知这部分要填形容词，所以在听录音时，要重点听表示负面、消极意思的形容词。同时，录音中也出现转折句： There were some drawbacks however。这是换题的标志。通过这些我们很快可以知道此处应该填写uncomfortable。 33 【正确
