D.Enjoy the beautiful day.解析：听力原文 M: It“s such a beautiful day.
16、 Why not sit out in the backyard for a while and enjoy it? W: I“d love to. But there“s a lot of laundry to do. Q: What will the woman probably do? 解析 本题属于第二个说话者中间带 but 的转折题。But 后面是答案。本题 But 后面的话是：有许多衣服要洗。故答案为 C。A.The man is looking for a place to live in. B.The man has a house for rent.C.The woman i
17、s a secretary.D.The two speakers are old friends.解析：听力原文 M: I believe you have a room to let. W: That“s so. Yes, won“t you come in? Q: What can we learn from the conversation? 解析 男士说“我想您有房子要出租(let)”；女士说“是的，您不进来看看吗?”可知答案是 A 项(男士正在找地方住)。B 错在 The man，应为 The woman。A.Henry doesn“t like the color.B.Someon
18、e else painted the house. C.There was no ladder in the house.D.Henry painted the house himself.解析：听力原文 W: Did Henry paint the whole house himself? M: He had it painted, because he doesn“t like climbing ladders. Q: What do we learn from the conversation? 解析 本题是“让某人做某事”题，采用的是 have sth. done 句型。答案为 B。B
19、 项和 D 项有矛盾关系，一般来说，答案应在这两个选项中。A.In a cotton field.B.At a railway station.C.On a farm.D.On a train. 解析：听力原文 W: Look at that big field of cotton. And there“s a farm with some beautiful houses. M: You really get to know the country when you go by train, don“t you? Q: Where did the conversation most prob
20、ably take place? 解析 地点题。对话中提到了多个地点名词，如棉田、农场、火车，但关键还是要听到男士说的“当你乘火车的时候，能够真正地了解乡村”，故可知他们正在火车上，即 D。A.They are entertaining.B.They are time-consuming.C.They are boring.D.They are rewarding. 解析：听力原文 M: How are your piano lessons going? W: Very well. My teacher thinks I“m making progress. And I find lesson
21、s well worth the time and trouble. Q: What does the woman think of her piano lessons? 解析 题目询问女士认为钢琴课怎么样。关键是要听到女士说“我觉得课程很值得费时费心”，D 项与其同义，故为答案。（分数：9.00）A.A raincoat.B.A rainy day.C.A lovely hat. D.An attractive hut.解析：听力原文 M: Is that nice-looking straw hat light and strong? W: Yes, you can wear it in
22、rain or shine. Q: What are they talking about? 解析 选项是四个完全不同的事物，预测对话中会出现其中的几个单词，解题的关键在于听到中心词。本题的中心词是 hat(帽子)，wear(戴)，故 C 才是他们谈论的事物。A.The woman is driving too fast.B.The woman is driving at a slow speed.C.The woman has broken a traffic rule. D.The woman has parked her car in a wrong place.解析：听力原文 M: T
23、his is a one-way street. Didn“t you see the sign ? W: Sorry. I didn“t . Q: What do we learn from the conversation? 解析 本题可通过两种方法来解答。一种是正面解答法：通过关键词 one-way street(单行道)与sign(标志)，可知女士违反了交通规则。另一种是排除法：通过浏览选项可直接排除 D，因为 C 与 D 之间存在着包孕关系(即若 D 成立，则 C 肯定成立)；对话中并没有提及速度，故 A 与 B 均不正确。A.She can tell Joan when she s
24、ees her at noon. B.She should tell Joan“s brother about the reception.C.She must call on Joan after the reception.D.She may see Joan“s brother at lunch.解析：听力原文 W: I ought to call Joan, and tell her about the reception this evening. M: Why bother? You will see her at lunch. Q: What does the man mean?
25、 解析 不赞同题，答案选项中往往有与第一个说话者的关键词相对立的词。本题使用反问句 Why bother?来表示不赞同，关键词是 call Joan。同时，要注意这道题中的“语音相似陷阱”：B 项和 D 项中的brother，都是由第二个说话者中的 bother 衍生而来的干扰因素。看穿其中戏法的眼睛雪亮的读者，是不会上这种当的。故选 A。（分数：12.00）A.To an artistic museum. B.To a movie theater.C.To a restaurant.D.To a national park.解析：听力原文 W: Hey, Taxi! Ah, great. T
26、hanks for pulling over. M: Where to? W: Well, I“m going to the National Museum of Art, and. M: Hop in. No problem. Hang on! W: Uh. Excuse me. How long does it take to get there? M: Well, that all depends on the traffic, but it shouldn“t take more than twenty minutes for the average driver. W: Oh. M:
27、 And I“m not average. I have driving down to an art, so we should be able to cruise through traffic and get there in less than twenty minutes. W: Okay. Uh, sorry for asking. M: Yeah? W: But do you have any idea of how much the fare will be? M: Oh, it shouldn“t be more than 18 dollars.not including a
28、.uh-hum.a tip of course. W: Oh, and by the way, do you know what time the museum closes? M: Well, I would guess around 6 o“clock. W: Uh, do you have the time? M: Yeah. It“s half past four. W: Thanks. M: Uh, is this your first time to the city, right? W: Yeah. How did you know? M: Well, you can tell
29、tourists from a mile away in this city because they walk down the street looking straight up at the skyscrapers.

30、nexpensive as other places I know, but the decor is very authentic, and the portions are larger than most places I“ve been to. W: Sounds great! How do I get there from the museum? M: Well, you can catch the subway fight outside the museum. There are buses that run that way, but you would have to tra
31、nsfer a couple of times. And there are taxis too, but they don“t run by the museum that often. W: Okay. Thanks. Where is the woman going? 解析 由选项预测本题可能考查地点。对话一开始女士就说“我要去国家艺术博物馆”，故选 A。A.Less than five minutes.B.Less than ten minutes.C.Less than twenty minutes. D.About twenty minutes.解析：听力原文 How long w
32、ill it take to get to the woman“s destination? 解析 时间题。如果对话中有多处提及了时间，则要适当做笔记，听清问题之后再做出选择，切勿张冠李戴。男士说，普通的司机不需要超过 20 分钟，而自己非比寻常，少于 20 分钟就可以了，故选 C。A.Inexpensive and well decorated.B.Expensive and luxurious.C.Inexpensive and humble.D.Expensive but worthwhile. 解析：听力原文 How does the man comment on the Mexica
33、n restaurant he recommends? 解析 由选项预测本题可能考查某人对某事物的评价。根据关键词 fantastic，not as inexpensive，authentic 及 larger 可以归纳出男士对墨西哥饭店的评价：与其他饭店相比，这里虽贵却物有所值，即 D 项。A.By subway. B.By bus.C.By taxi.D.By train.解析：听力原文 Which seems to be the most convenient way to the restaurant? 解析 本题考查交通工具，需快速地对听到的内容做出判断。男士谈及了几种交通工具，除了
34、第一种，B、C 都被男士很快否定听到 but 要排除其前面的内容，D 未提及。（分数：9.00）A.Skiing.B.Skating.C.Swimming. D.Jogging.解析：听力原文 M: Hello? You seem worried. Can I help you? W: Oh, I feel so strange with my feet in the skis (滑雪屐). M: So you don“t know how to ski. Is it the first time you come here skiing? W: It“s even the first tim
35、e I have seen the real white snow. M: No kidding! Where are you from, young lady? W: My family and I live in Hainan Province, China We do not have snow in winter. It“s always sunshine.

37、ally funny. I“ve never walked in this way, but it“s interesting. M: Let“s move to the gentle slope, shall we? It will make things easier. W: I guess I“m a little nervous. M: Take it easy.

38、all down. If you want to stop, you should point the tips together, got it? W: I see. Oh, I have done it! Thank you. You are so kind! What is the woman“s favourite hobby? 解析 “原词照搬型”细节题，抓住与题目相关的词句“Swimming is my favourite hobby. ”，就能直接获得答案，即 C。要注意听清楚题目问的是谁(男士还是女士)的爱好。A.The top of the hill.B.The gentle
39、 slope of the hill. C.The foot of the hill.D.The side of the hill.解析：听力原文 Where did the man lead the woman first in order to make things easier? 解析 选项都跟 hill(山)有关，都是指 hill 的位置，估计提问将以 Where 开头。这时再回过头来看上一小题，就不难确定本对话将涉及到的运动是 A 项 Skiing(滑雪)，因为只有滑雪非得有山不可，这是常识告诉我们的。本题是细节题，问“男士为简单起见，最先把女士领到何处?”男士的话提供了答案，即B
40、。此处的考点是祈使句的反意疑问句。A.She should keep leaning forward.B.She should cross.C.She should go step by step like a crab.D.She should point the tips together. 解析：听力原文 If the woman wants to stop, what should she do? 解析 四个选项相同的部分是 She should，只是动词不同，所以听音时要特别留意动词。D 项是对原文“you should point the tips together”的再现，只不过
41、换了个人称而已。本题是对话结尾处的命题。三、Section B(总题数：3，分数：30.00)（分数：9.00）A.Withdraw as much money from the bank as he wishes.B.Obtain more convenient services than other people do.

46、ric utilities to milk processors, bring better and more efficient services to consumers through the use of computers.
