16、ill be ended by 2050.C.Half women will be married before reaching adulthood by 2050. D.The legal marriage age will set above 18 by 2050.解析:解析:新闻的开头提到,联合国的一份报告称,到 2050年会有将近一半女孩(约 31 亿)在未成年时就结婚,C 所述与此一致。A 错在 The number of adult girls,数量会翻倍的是未成年就结婚的女孩数量(The number of girls married),而非成年女孩的数量。B“童婚到 2050
17、时会结束”和 D“合法结婚年龄到 2050年会设定在 18岁以上”都出现新闻中的个别原词,但所述内容都没有实质根据。A.Poverty and lack of education. B.Local culture that undervalues children.C.The low legal age for marriage.D.High risks of becoming teenage mothers.解析:解析:新闻的结尾引用非盟女主席的话,指出轻视女性的当地文化(undervalues girls and women)以及贫穷和教育落(Poverty and lack of edu
18、cation)应为童婚现象负责,A 复现后者,为正确答案。B 错在children,当地文化轻视的只是女孩,不是所有 children。C“合法结婚年龄低”与新闻内容相反,新闻中明确提到在大多数非洲国家,18 岁是合法结婚的年龄。D“成为青少年母亲的风险高”未在新闻中提到。A.Waste products of whisky could make biofuel. B.Scotland is the largest producer of whisky in the world.C.A new fuel called Biobutanol is found by a Scottish prof
19、essor.D.There are many waste products in making whisky.解析:解析:主旨题。新闻的主旨常出现在首尾部分。新闻的开头提到,一种流行的酒精饮料中产生的废品在未来可以用作生物燃料(could be used in the future to make biofuel),而下一句则点明这个popular alcoholic drink就是指 whisky“威士忌”。故 A正确。B 的内容有在新闻中提到,但“苏格兰是全球最大的威士忌产生”并不是本文的重点内容。C 内容与新闻不符,Biobutanol 并不是新燃料,也不是苏格兰教授发现的。D“生产威士
20、忌会产生很多废产品”偏离了新闻的重点。A.Corn and sugar cane.B.Rye and corn.C.Strong beer and wheat D.Rice and wheat.解析:解析:新闻的结尾提到,制成威士忌后,剩下一两个没什么用处的废产品:strong beer 和wheat。故 C正确。A.Getting high skilled people. B.Promoting companys technology.C.Finding enough employees.D.Increasing members of immigrants.解析:解析:新闻的开头提到,一家在
21、芝加哥郊区的公司的人力资源总监 Pete Tapaskar说,他公司的所有空缺职位找到人并不容易,找到技术精湛的人才仍是一个挑战(getting high skilled people is still a challenge)。A 复现新闻的内容,为答案。新闻并没有提到需要提升公司的技术,故 B排除。科技公司缺少的是技术熟练的科技人员,C“找到足够的员工”不够具体。新闻通篇提到移民情况,但增加移民人数并非科技公司所需要解决的问题,故 D也不对。A.The number of them decreases dramatically. B.They mainly move from south
22、states.C.They come to Chicago without work visa.D.The number of them increases after the recession.解析:解析:在 Elizabeth Sue的话中,关键词 a substantially decreased和 dramatic drop都表明迁入芝加哥人数大幅减少,A 正确。新闻说的是移民选择南方各州,B 说从南方各州迁来与此相反。C 利用新闻中的 work visa作干扰,实质内容未在新闻中提到。D 说的“数量上升”与新闻内容相反。A.The law of immigrants.B.The e
23、nvironment for companies. C.The number of work visas.D.Higher salary and better titles.解析:解析:在新闻后段,Tapaskar 提到“那些地方的环境对创业更有利,可能有更低的税收,雇主们能从州政府那里得到更多福利”,B 与上述内容相符。C 较有干扰性,但新闻结尾提到,增加工作签证为了吸引技术熟练的人才到芝加哥,这与移民选择南方各州的原因无关。3.Section B_解析:A.He saw the office on his way home from work. B.A friend referred hi
24、m to Dr. Carters office.C.He found Dr. Carters number in the phone book.D.He found Dr. Carters number on the Internet解析:解析:对话中男士提到:“哦,昨天我开车经过了你们办公室。”因此选 A。选项都涉及 He怎样得知 DrCarter 的办公室(或电话)的,可以比较准确地预测出问题。听到对话中女士问 who referred(介绍,推荐)you to our office 时,就该特别关注男士的回答。由 drove past只能得出 A。A.He has to pick up
25、his tool kits.B.He has to take a bus home.C.He has to open his store in the morning.D.He has to pick up his kids. 解析:解析:女士建议他周三 4点钟过来,男士犹豫了一下,回答说,4 点左右是他通常接孩子们放学的时间。因此答案是 D。A.The mans telephone number is 647-0547.B.The mans telephone number is 603-0547.C.The man was scheduled to meet the doctor at 8
26、:15 A.M. Thursday. D.The man was scheduled to meet the doctor at 8:00 A.M. Thursday.解析:解析:女士要男士在周二上午 8点与周四上午 8:15 之间选择,男士说选星期四。因此 C正确。A.He hurt his knee when a tall ladder fell on him.B.He injured his ankle when he fell from a ladder. C.He sprained his hand when he fell off the roof of his house.D.H
27、is foot has a paint can on because he likes painting the house.解析:解析:男士说他在给房子刷油漆的时候从梯子上摔了下来,扭了脚踝。B 正确。由动词来看,hurt,injure,sprain 均表示受伤,knee,ankle,hand,foot 是身体部位,fell 是“跌落”,在选项中用法不同;A 说梯子倒下时砸了人;B 说从梯子上摔下;C 说从房顶上摔下。无论是听到“受伤部位”还是“受伤原因”,本题均可准确作答。A.Problems with living in an apartment.B.A search for a new
28、 apartment. C.The cost of rent near universities.D.How to share a room with one or two roommates.解析:解析:女士开头就说:“那正是我打电话的原因。我决定另外找一套房子。”B 选项中的“search for a new apartment”就是此句“look for a new place”的同义替换。口语中 place可以指住处。各选项均与住房有关(apartment,rent,room,roommate 属于同一个语义场);选项核心词分别是problems,search,cost,how to
29、share。注意听清对话的焦点,用以辨别正确选项。A.She lives far from campus. B.She wants to have a roommate.C.She cant afford to pay the rent.D.She has no place to park her car.解析:解析:女士抱怨现在住的地方离校园有点远,每天上下学烦死人,可见她想搬家的原因是住得太远了,故选 A。录音确实提到女士想要跟一或两个室友合租,但这是由于她预算(budget)有限,因此 B“她想要一个室友”不是搬家的原因。录音并未提到女士付不起房租,故排除 C“她付不起房租”。有停车位是
30、女士对要租住的房子的要求,但并不是她想搬家的原因,故排除 D“她没有地方停车”。A.Gas fee.B.Utilities. C.Furniture.D.A parking place.解析:解析:男士问女士的房租预算是多少,女士回答说每月包括水电费控制在 200美元以下,可见女士希望房租包含水电的费用,故选 B。女士虽然提到要带家具和一个停车位,但是这是房子的配套设施,不是房租包含的内容,故不选 C和 D。A.He will drop a notice there and buy something on his way to school.B.He is planning on calli
31、ng a friend who owns an apartment building.C.He will check the newspapers to see if he can find an apartment for rentD.He is going to visit an apartment building nearby. 解析:解析:男士提到,他知道附近一幢公寓综合楼似乎还有空房,他今天会“在去上学的路上顺道看看”。D 的 visit即对话中 drop by的同义表达,因此选 D。选项均是将来时态,表示他将来取什么行动,一般是在对话尾巴处找答案。4.Section C_解析:A
32、.Banks, government agencies and credit unions.B.Banks, deposit unions and money market funds.C.Banks, savings-and-loans and deposit unions.D.Banks, savings-and-loans and credit unions. 解析:解析:短文中说到:传统的可以开账户的场所是银行、储蓄与贷款协会以及信贷互助会。D 与此相符。四个选项均是名词并列成分。不管是问主旨还是问细节,都需要与听到的内容一一对应。读题时,要把各选项之间的异同加以辨别。A.Teache
33、rs working in the same city.B.Professors attending the same seminar.C.Colleagues working for the same government agency. D.Experts studying the same subject.解析:解析:短文中说,信贷互助会是以某种方式联系起来的人们组成的合作社组织,比如,其成员可能都为同一个大学或政府机构工作。尽管四个选项中提到的各类人均“以某种方式联系”着,但与短文中例子一致的只有 C。短文中的例子是“为同一个大学或政府机构工作的人”,government agency
34、 是答题关键。其余选项中的 city,seminar,subject 均未在文中出现。A.Certificates of deposit.B.Savings account.C.Money market funds. D.Credit unions.解析:解析:短文最后说:“然而,货币市场基金可能不像其他存款一样受联邦政府的保证。”与此相符的是 C。本题符合“语义强调处出题”的规律。文章结尾处,用 however独立地指出来的项目为答案。A.They cannot see the firefighters because of the smoke.B.They do not realize t
35、he danger they are in.C.They cannot hear the firefighters for the noise.D.They mistake the firefighters for monsters. 解析:解析:短文提到孩子们藏起来的原因是,他们以为自己看到了魔鬼。所以答案为 D。转折词 but后常常为考查重点。原文提到 monster一词,符合短文“听到什么选什么”的原则。A“他们因为烟看不见消防员”、B“他们没有意识到自己身处危险之中”和 C“他们因为噪音听不见消防员”与录音不符。A.He travels all over America to help
36、 put out fires.B.He often teaches children what to do during a fire. C.He teaches Spanish in a San Francisco community.D.He provides oxygen masks to children free of charge.解析:解析:短文提到,为了防止这种悲剧发生,Eric Velez 给社区的孩子们讲课,告诉他们在火灾中不要藏起来。所以答案为 B。A“他去美国各地帮忙灭火”、C“他在一个旧金山社区教西班牙语”和D“他免费给孩子提供氧气罩”均是利用原文的片言只语进行随意拼
37、凑。A.He saved the life of his brother choking on food. B.He rescued a student from a big fire.C.He is very good at public speaking.D.He gives informative talks to young children.解析:解析:短文提到 Pete Gentry挽救了他吃东西噎着的弟弟。所以答案为 A。此题考查文中举例处,这种地方常设考点,要留意听清。B“他从大火中救出了一个学生”、C“他很擅长公众演讲”和 D“他给小孩子作常识普及演讲”虽都有原文原词,但内容
38、与问题不符。A.Firefighters play an important role in America.B.Kids should learn not to be afraid of monsters.C.Carelessness can result in tragedies.D.Informative speeches can save lives. 解析:解析:短文最后提到,informative speaker 可以救人性命,还能帮助人们学习新技能等等。所以答案为 D。此题其实是主旨题,说话者用消防员普及消防知识为例说明常识普及讲演者的作用,D 的概括最全面。消防员只是例子,不属
39、于主题内容,应注意排除 A“消防员在美国发挥重要作用”。B“孩子应学着不害怕怪物”和 C“疏忽大意可以导致悲剧”与短文主旨不符。A.Hardworking students being accused of cheating.B.Innocent people being suspected groundlessly. C.Boy students being often treated as law-breakers.D.Junior employees being made to work overtime.解析:解析:短文开始就提到:假如有个邻居犯了法,而法官怀疑到附近所有街坊,那样公平
40、吗?由该提问可知,答案为 B。本题可抓听原文关键词 suspicion,B 中的 suspected为其同义动词。A 中的Hardworking students“用功的学生”、C 中的 Boy students“男学生”、D 中的 Junior employees“资历浅的雇员”这几个关键词在短文中均未提及。A.Requesting customers to pay before taking the foodB.Asking customers to leave their bags on the counters.C.Allowing only two students to enter
41、 at a time. D.Forbidding students to take food out of the restaurant.解析:解析:短文提到饭店的窗上有个新的招牌写着“一次最多两名学生”,所以答案为 C。only 等同于no more than,C 是原文的同义表达。A“要求顾客拿食物前先付款”、B“叫顾客把包放在柜台”和D“禁止学生将食物带出饭店”原文没有相关信息支持。A.He was closely watched. B.He was asked to leave.C.He was overcharged.D.He was taken to the manager.解析:解析:短文提到,“我”曾在零售店里发现一个家伙看着“我”的手,比看他自己的手还用心。所以答案为 A。此题抓听关键词 watch就不难做出正确选择。B“他被要求离开”、C“他被多收钱”和D“他被带到经理面前”原文均未提及。
