17、ed.B.There was a rocket hitting the moon. C.A deep dark hole appeared on the moon“s South Pole.D.There was an amazing finding made by LRO.解析：听力原文 Last October, a NASA rocket, traveling at a speed of 9,000 kilometers per hour, smashed into a deep, dark hole on the moon“s south pole. Upon impact, the
18、Centaur rocket kicked up a cloud of dust and elements from the moon“s surface, creating a so-called “ejecta-plume“ that was monitored by NASA“s Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter, or LRO. Scientists analyzed the findings, and preliminary results from this mission suggested that there was some form of wate
19、r on the moon. NASA lunar scientist Michael Wargo said those days that a wave of findings during the past year makes it certain. “We“ve confirmed that there was indeed water ice in the ejecta-plume, and at an abundance that was about 50 percent greater than our initial estimates.“ That means that th
20、e impact site has more water than some deserts on Earth. According to the news report what has happened last October? 解析 新闻中指出，美国宇航局的一枚火箭以每小时 9000 公里的速度，撞上月球南极的一个黑暗陨石坑而粉碎。这与 B 项的“火箭撞月”意思相同。新闻中提到的是美国宇航局的火箭在月球上撞毁，故 A 项“成功发射火箭”错误。新闻只是提到火箭撞上黑暗陨石坑，而非 C 项“月球南极出现一个黑暗的深坑”，故排除 C。D 项“LRO 有惊人的发现”都是火箭撞上月球的结果，与问
21、题中的去年 10 月不相关，也排除。A.Some form of water existed on the moon. B.The water on the moon was as much as in the desert.C.There was a lot of rocket remaining on the moon surface.D.A large area has been affected by the rocket.解析：听力原文 What did preliminary results from this mission suggest? 解析 新闻中指出，科学家们根据各种结
22、果和发现推断月球上有某种形式的水存在(there was some form of water on the moon)。A 项将原文的 there be 结构换成了谓语动词 existed，语义是一致的，A项为答案。新闻最后一句提到月球上受撞击的地方的水分比地球上的某些沙漠地区还多(more water thart some deserts on Earth)，故 B 项“月球上的水和沙漠上的一样多”错误。C 项“月球表面有许多火箭”和 D 项“大片地区受到火箭的影响”均没有在新闻中提到。Questions 3 and 4 will be based on the following new
23、s item. （分数：8.00）A.Babies.B.Old men. C.Young men.D.Doctors.解析：听力原文 An American government panel has recommended that pregnant women, health-care workers, children and young adults up to the age of 24 should get priority for the flu vaccine released later this year. But the Advisory Committee on Immu
24、nization Practices conceded the policy may change if not enough vaccine is produced by October. Doctor Ann Schuchat of the Center for Disease Control said it is vital for pregnant women who have breathing illness and fever to get early treatment. We think some suitable medicines for them can be life
25、saving, and that“s a very important message. We also think it is important for them to get seasonal influenza vaccine, and today the committee recommended that when vaccine is available, and we have a decision to go forward that the pregnant women really out of consider getting the H1N1 vaccine. Who
26、 are less necessary to receive the flu vaccinations? 解析 注意听清楚本题问的是没那么必要注射疫苗的人(less necessary)。新闻中指出，美国政府小组委员会认为孕妇、医护工作者、孩子和 24 岁以下的年轻人都应该优先注射流感疫苗，只有 B 项“老年人”没有提及，故选 B 项。听录音时应注意出现的一系列名词，并速记下相关信息或在选项上标记。A.Because their babies are particularly weak.B.Because the flu vaccines are too difficult to reach.
27、C.Because the flu vaccines can be lifesaving for them. D.Because this is the decision made by the committee.解析：听力原文 Why do pregnant women enjoy the top priority to get vaccine? 解析 新闻中指出，疾病控制中心的 Ann Schuchat 说一些有用的药物对有呼吸疾病及发烧的孕妇来说就是挽救生命(lifesaving)，接种季节性的流感疫苗也是非常重要的，C 项复现新闻原词，为答案。A 项“她们的婴儿特别虚弱”和 B 项“
28、获得疫苗十分困难”都没有在新闻中提到。新闻中提到，委员们建议一旦疫苗到达，将首先考虑给孕妇接种流感疫苗。这只是委员们的建议，而不是规定必须这么做，故 D 项“因为这是委员会作出的决定”错误。Questions 5 to 7 will be based on the following news item. （分数：12.00）A.A lightning strike started the fires.B.Traffic was very busy on Christmas Day.C.The Great Ocean Road attracted many tourists.D.Residen
29、ts were forced to leave their homes. 解析：听力原文 Hundreds of residents and holidaymakers along southern Australia“s popular Great Ocean Road were forced to move out on Thursday as hot, windy weather threatened to recharge bushfires that destroyed more than 100 homes on Christmas Day. Residents in three
30、coastal towns in the popular holiday area were advised to leave their homes as temperatures were forecast to reach a high of almost 40 degrees Celsius. The hot summer weather threatened to expand fires that have been burning for almost two weeks. The fires were started by a lightning strike on Dec.
31、19 and continue to burn and spread. The Country Fire Authority estimates the fire has burnt out more than 25 square kilometers of land. Authorities estimate that 116 homes were destroyed by the fires on Christmas Day. The Great Ocean Road is one of Australia“s biggest tourist draws with its spectacu
32、lar scenery and unusual offshore rock formations. Parts of the road remained closed to traffic on Thursday during what is typically one of its busiest times of the year. What happened on Australia“s Great Ocean Road on Thursday? 解析 新闻一开始就提到当地居民在周四被迫迁出(were forced to move out)，D 项中的 leave their home
33、与新闻中的 move out 同义，故为答案。A 项“雷击引发了林区火灾”在新闻中有提到，但发生时间是 12 月 19 日，新闻中并没有提到是星期几。B 项“The Great Ocean Road 吸引了很多游客”与问题所问无关。C 项中的“交通繁忙”在新闻中提到的是在以往圣诞期间繁忙，现在交通已经关闭，故 C 项错误。A.The hot and windy weather might expand bushfires. B.There will be a strong earthquake.C.Their homes were destroyed by the fires on Chris
34、tmas Day.D.The temperatures will fall down soon.解析：听力原文 Why should the local residents leave their homes? 解析 新闻提到当地居民被建议撤离，是由于预计即将出现高温，有风的炎热夏日会加剧火情(threatened to expand fires)，因此选 A 项。B 项“将会有剧烈的地震”未在新闻中提到。新闻中确实提到许多家庭房屋被毁，但当地居民被建议撤离的原因还是因为天气可能加重灾情，C 项“他们的房子被毁”答非所问。D 项“很快将会有降温”与新闻提到的事实相反。A.On Christma
35、s Day.B.On December 19th. C.In winter.D.On a windy day.解析：听力原文 When did the bushfires start? 解析 新闻中提到林区火灾是由雷击引发的，发生的时间是 12 月 19 日，故答案选 B 项。新闻开头提到，圣诞节期间的天气加剧了灾情，导致 100 多所房屋被毁，但这并不是火灾开始的时间，排除 A 项。C 项在冬季，考生应知道澳大利亚在南半球，事件发生在 12 月前后，应为夏季，故排除此项。D 项“有风的日子”，新闻中提到风会加大火势，但并不是发生的时候。三、Section B(总题数：0，分数：0.00)四、
36、Conversation One(总题数：1，分数：16.00)Questions 8 to 11 are based on the conversation you have just heard. （分数：16.00）A.To make the man feel happy.B.To persuade the man to shop with his kids.C.To convince the man Christmas is worth spending. D.To prevent the man from spending too much shopping.解析：听力原文 W: A
37、re you all ready for Christmas? M: No, I haven“t even started. I“ve done zero shopping. W: Well, you“d better get going. Christmas is only a week away. M: I have to tell you that I“m one of those people who really get stressed out by the Christmas rush. W: Oh, I“m not. I love the holidays. I love th
38、e crowds, the shopping, the holidays, the music, the food, the parties, and all the presents. M: That“s just the beginning. My wife always spends too much money on Christmas. That takes me till April to pay off all our Christmas bills. W: Don“t be a miser about it. Think about your kids. Didn“t you
39、use to love Christmas when you were a kid? M: I guess so. I don“t remember. W: I know you did. You know, maybe Christmas is for kids, but you can still enjoy it through the eyes of your children. M: Well, kids enjoy it because they don“t have to do all the shopping and pay all the bills. W: Maybe th
40、at“s true. But you know as well as I do, that Christmas is more than shopping and trees. It“s about what“s in your heart and how you can make others happy. M: You“re right. You“re absolutely right. I“m going to try harder to be nice to people and try to keep the true spirit of Christmas in my heart.
41、 W: I“m glad to hear it. What does the woman try to do in the conversation? 解析 不定式选项，估计问“目的，打算”。四个选项的宾语均是 him，进一步确定是问女士的目的。整个对话内容都是围绕说话人对圣诞节的态度展开的，女士一直在劝说男士不要太在乎钱，只要开心就好。因此正确答案为 C 项。A 项不正确，女士开导男士，并非仅仅为了让他开心。选项 B、D 与原文不符。A.At a Christmas party.B.Not long before Christmas. C.At the New Year“s Eve.D.On
42、 some day of April.解析：听力原文 When does the conversation take place? 解析 细节题。女士问男士怎么还没有准备去购物，还有一个星期就是圣诞节了。因此不难判断，对话发生在圣诞节前几天。选项 B 正确。A.Expectation.B.Complaint. C.Enjoyment.D.Indifference.解析：听力原文 What is the man“s feeling about Christmas? 解析 推断题。对话一开始男士就强调圣诞节让他觉得心力交瘁(get stressed out)，因此 A 项和 C 项肯定不对。接下来
43、男士便提到他妻子会为圣诞节化很多钱，他得花很长时间才能把所有的账全部还清。显而易见，他是在抱怨，因此选项 B 正确。A.Paying off Christmas bills.B.Trying to earn more money.C.Preparing for Christmas. D.Limiting his wife“s expense.解析：听力原文 What will the man most probably do after the conversation? 解析 推断题。四个动词(分词)选项标明，这是典型的长对话尾巴题，问对话中人物下一步的行动。到对话末尾，男士承认女士说的完全
44、正确，并表示自己会照女士所说的去做，那么他很有可能为圣诞节积极地做准备，因此 C 项正确。A 项是他抱怨的内容，B、D 项并未提及。五、Conversation Two(总题数：1，分数：16.00)Questions 12 to 15 are based on the conversation you have just heard. （分数：16.00）A.He doesn“t feel like doing it.B.He thinks it doesn“t suit him.C.It will take too much time. D.It is not funny at all.解
45、析：听力原文 W: It“s a lovely day today! What would you like to do? M: I really feel like doing something outdoors. Perhaps we could go hill walking? W: Mm, I“m not really in the mood for hill walking. Why don“t we just go swimming? M: That suits me. But it will take an hour or two. Do you like to do some
46、thing else first? Maybe we could go cycling? W: I don“t think I enjoy that very much. Actually I“m not a good cyclist. Maybe we could have a meal at the new Italian restaurant. M: That“s Fine for me. I haven“t been to that restaurant yet. So that“s decided then. A meal at the new Italian restaurant,
47、 then go to swim. Great! So, when should we meet? W: We“d better get to the restaurant a bit early because it might be very busy. I think we need to get there by 11:00. M: Er, can I make it a little bit later, say, 11:20? I have to visit my grandma this morning and I don“t think I can make it by the
48、n. W: No problem. I“ll go straight to the restaurant at 11:00 and get you a table. M: Great! Why doesn“t the man want to go swimming? 解析 细节题。四个选项均是否定 it，结合 A 和 B 可知提问应该是问 He 不做某事的原因。对话中女士建议去游泳，男士回答说这适合他，接着却用 But 来否定这个建议：游泳得花一两个小时，言下之意即游泳太费时间了，故选 C。A 利用对话中的原词 feel like doing 进行干扰，但对话中男士说的是他想做一些户外运动，A
49、 与之不符；男士觉得游泳适合他，B 与男士的意思相悖；男士没有说到游泳是否有趣，D也可排除。A.Go hill walking.B.Go swimming.C.Gocycling.D.Dine out. 解析：听力原文 What will the two speakers do first? 解析 细节题。本题四个选项均为动词原形，应涉及某个行动：打算、建议等。对话中女士说她没有心情爬山，也不擅长骑车，所以 A、C 两项肯定不对。最后他们决定先吃饭再游泳。接下来男士说“那就这样定了”。所以正确答案是 D 项。A.It has existed for a long time.B.It enjoys very good business. C.The owner of the restaurant is an Italian.D.It is located on a busy street.解析：听力原文 What can be inferred about the restaurant mentioned? 解析 推断题。女士提议去新开的那家意大利饭店，她还建议最好早点去，因为去晚了饭店很可能(因为人多)很忙。既然是新开的饭店，那么 A 错误。饭
