14、here threatens the U.S. national security. C.Rallies are planned to protest the war there.D.The U.N. Security Council is involved in the issue there.解析：解析：新闻开头提到，美国总统表示，他正在采取行动，因为在 Darfur的冲突已经威胁到美国的国家安全和外交政策(threatens the national security and foreign policy of the United States)，B中的 threatens the U
15、Snational security 提到了其中一点，故为正确答案。A“美国财产被冻结”张冠李戴，新闻是说 4个苏丹人的财产被冻结。美国总统的声明发表在集合之前(days before rallies are planned)，故 C所说的集会不可能是总统采取行动的原因。D 只是胡乱拼凑了新闻中的UNSecurity Council 和 involved，“联合国参与其中”并非美国总统采取行动的原因。A.Four Sudanese.B.The U.S. president.C.Reporters.D.George Clooney. 解析：解析：新闻提到，社会名流，如奥斯卡金像奖得主演员 Geo
16、rge Clooney计划在游行集会上演讲，故选 D。A.Consumers give up motorcycles.B.Some politicians suggest cutting down prices of gasoline.C.Oil companies are not satisfied with it.D.Some congressmen think oil companies should be examined. 解析：解析：新闻提到，对于石油公司的高利润，某些美国国会的议员认为对石油公司的利润需密切观察(should be examined closely)，D 所说与此
17、相符。消费者虽然有怨言(raised complaints)，并没有说放弃使用摩托车，A 错误。汽油的价格高昂是事实，但新闻并没有提到“政客建议要降低油价”，B 错误。新闻只提到石油公司反对征收暴利税(windfall profits tax)，并没有提到他们是否满意高额的利润，C错误。A.It might not work. B.Consumers will finally benefit from it.C.It is good for oil industry.D.It should also be imposed on other industries.解析：解析：新闻提到，石油分析家
18、说征收暴利税可能达不到预期的目标，有反作用(counterproductive)，考生即使听不懂该词的意思，也可从下一句的“石油工业的高利润最终会让消费者受益”可知，分析家并不反对石油公司有高利润，即对“征收暴利税”是持反对意见，故 A为正确答案。B“消费者最终受益”和 C“对石油公司有利”都对“征收暴利税”持正面态度，与新闻所说相反。D“对其他行业也征收暴利税”没有在新闻中提到。A.At 4:35 pm local time.B.At 4:35 am local time. C.At 4:25 am local time.D.At 4:25 pm local time.解析：解析：根据选项可
19、以判断问的是时间，而且四个选项比较相似，听录音时要重点留意新闻中的相关信息。新闻一开始就提到，根据美国地质勘探局的消息，当地时间凌晨 4点 35分发生了地震(The quake hit at 4：35 am local time)，故 B为答案。A.The US Geological Survey first reported the earthquake.B.Indias Meteorological Department has predicted the earthquake.C.A newly-built building collapsed in the earthquake. D.
20、Three thousand people were reported dead in the earthquake.解析：解析：新闻提到，地震使许多墙倒塌了，并且一幢新建的六层高的建筑倒下了(a newly-built six-storey buildingcollapsed)，C 所述与此一致，为答案。A、B 中的机构 US Geological Survey和 Indias Meteorological Department都有在新闻中出现，但所说的事情“首先报告地震”和“预测了地震”都没有在新闻中提到。新闻中陆续报道各地的伤亡人数，都是零星的数量，远远达不到 D所说的 3000人。A.
21、Because he had a heart attack after the earthquake.B.Because he jumped from a fourth-floor balcony.C.Because he was badly injured during the quake.D.Because he suffered a stroke after the earthquake. 解析：解析：选项均以 Because开头，可判断问的是原因，并且根据 heart attack、jumped from a fourth-floor balcony、badly injured、suf
22、fered a stroke 可以推测某人做了某事产生了不好的后果，听录音时要留意新闻中相关信息。新闻最后提到，一名 23岁的男子在地震后因中风而死亡(suffered a stroke after the quake)，故 D为答案。A“地震后心脏病发作”和 B“从四楼阳台跳下来”都不是这个23岁男人的死因，C“他在地震中受了重伤”没有在新闻中提及。3.Section B_解析：A.He finds it hard to afford the rent all by himself. B.He feels lonely living all by himself.C.He needs to
23、find somebody to make the apartment more comfortable.D.He wants to get help with his courses from his roommate.解析：解析：对话开始，女士就提出了对话主题：看男士是否还需要人合租。男士急切地说：“要啊!自从为了上学减少了工作时间以来，我的钱就很紧张了。”故 A正确。从选项来看，本题问男士的情形。答题关键是男士说的 strapped for cash，它与 A中的 afford the rent构成紧密的相关性。其他选项就没有这种相关的内容。(口语中，cash 即 money，be st
24、rapped 即“身无分文的”。)A.The carpet in the living room is soiled in several places. B.The carpet in the living room is worn out in several places.C.The toilet is clogged and the sink has a few leaks.D.The windows in the bathroom can keep out rain and snow.解析：解析：女士看到房间里的地毯时说：“看来你该换新地毯了那些污渍是怎么回事?”可见 A正确。soi
25、led 意为“污染的，脏的”。A.He used some cardboard to keep it shut.B.He applied some super glue to keep the hinges on tightly.C.He pushed a box against the door to keep it shut D.He pushed a chair against the door to keep it shut.解析：解析：男士说冰箱门坏了，关不紧。“我用个箱子顶着它使它合得拢。”C 正确。由选项知，本题问他是如何“使它关紧”的。关键词包括 cardboard，super
26、 glue(超级胶水)，box，chair。根据这些关键词，“听到什么选什么”。A.Find a job for the man.B.Split the rent.C.Help Dave fix up the house.D.Look for another place. 解析：解析：对话结尾处，女士对该房子已毫无合租兴趣：“我想我已经看够了。真难以相信，你在这样的条件下还能生活!”因此 D正确。本题必须根据女士的语气推断。A.Confident.B.Hesitant. C.Determined.D.Doubtful.解析：解析：对话开始，女士问男士：“你认为经理确切的职责是什么?”男士回答说
27、“对这种工作我所知不多”。在女士的一再要求下，男士支支吾吾地说，经理要做许多决策。因此可以说，男士对回答这个问题没有把握，缺乏信心。B 正确。选项很简单，四个表示情绪和心理的形容词，估计问某人的心态。这种题须根据听到的话语进行推理判断。A.His traveling experiences.B.His knowledge of languages. C.His policy-making ability.D.His hard-working.解析：解析：男士说他会法语和德语，这意味着他擅长在海外工作，接着他说了自己的求职意向。女士说当努力工作时，去海外出差的魅力会消失，并非总是很有趣。男士回应
28、说他认识到这点，他只是觉得自己掌握的语言知识会有帮助，可见他认为自己擅长在海外工作的优势是自己懂几门语言，故选 B。A.An export salesman working overseas. B.A trainee working through every branch.C.A production manager in a branch.D.A policy maker in the company.解析：解析：男士说：“我想做一名出口业务员，可以去国外旅行。”A 正确。四个选项均是职务名称。在“面试”场景下，应当问求职者应聘的职务。B 中的 trainee与对话中的 trainee s
29、cheme含义并不相同。实际上 B项的内容是女士说的，A 项的内容是男士说的，听清问题，也可以根据说话人做出选择。C、D 均未提及。A.Trainees are required to sign contracts initially.B.Trainees performance is evaluated occasionally.C.Trainees starting salary is 870 pounds. D.Trainees cannot quit the management scheme at will.解析：解析：对话快结束时女士提到：“关于工资，按我们固定的工资级别标准，起点
30、是 870英镑。”C正确。4.Section C_解析：A.Americans are too attached to their cars.B.American cars are too fast.C.Automobiles threaten human health. D.Automobiles are the main public transportation tools of USA.解析：解析：短文开头即称汽车是“该国公共健康的头号敌人”，整篇文章即围绕此主题展开，故答案C。短文开头句通常是主题所在，听出 automobile和 health enemy No.1，即可准确答题。万
31、一开头句漏听了，全文多处提到汽车对人的危害，disease，survival，hazards 等词也可帮助确定短文主题。A.Because they pollute the air.B.Because they are natural hazards.C.Because they are increasing in numbers.D.Because people dont walk so often. 解析：解析：短文说，“因为我们去什么地方都不再走路，所以汽车也能引发心脏病”，由此选 D。听到什么选什么。信号词 because后的内容即是答案。walk 原词再现。A.Control of
32、natural hazards.B.Control of heavy traffic.C.Control of heart disease.D.Control of man-made hazards. 解析：解析：短文说，“在人类历史上，人的生存问题第一次与控制人造危险相关联了”，故选 D。the first time，语义突出，其后的内容是听音重点。A.4.B.5.C.6. D.7.解析：解析：文中提到“教授区分了 6种睡觉姿势”，故选 C。A.They are shy and sensitive.B.They are quiet and sensitive.C.They are shy a
33、nd suspicious.D.They are quiet and reserved. 解析：解析：短文说，“以战士姿势睡觉的人安静而不苟言笑”，故选 D。选项可分两组：A、C 共有一个shy，差别在 sensitive与 suspicious：B、D 共有一个 quiet，差别在 sensitive和 reserved。毫无疑问，本题问某些人的性格。细节题，听到什么选什么。A.The way people sleep shows their personality.B.It is easy to change a persons sleeping style. C.Crouched in
34、the fetal position is the most popular sleep pattern.D.Flat on the stomach with the hands at the sides of the head, is the most unusual position.解析：解析：短文结尾处称：“某种睡觉风格一旦养成就很难改变。”B 与此相反，符合问题要求。A.In June or July.B.In July.C.In May or June. D.In May.解析：解析：短文开头说：“5、6 月是大多数美国大学举行毕业典礼的月份”。故答案为 C。细节题，问月份。短文开
35、头处的信息。听到什么选什么。A.Professors and researchers.B.Foreign guests and students.C.News people and entertainers. D.Professors and leaders.解析：解析：文中谈到，“常常会邀请新闻人物和艺人在毕业典礼上致辞”，故选 C。由选项知本题问到某一类人物。可以边听边做笔记。根据“听到什么选什么”的原则，可以得到正确选项。A.Harvard. B.Yale.C.Princeton.D.Cornell.解析：解析：文中提到“演员 John Lithgow是哈佛大学 1967届毕业生”，根据
36、问题，选 A。A.Be optimistic and do your best. B.Love school and get good grades.C.Make your campus life colorful and relaxing.D.Enjoy making friends on campus.解析：解析：短文最后引用了 Jon Stewart的忠告：“不要为成绩、分数、成功担心。成功有着不同的定义，你们会获得成功的。”其含义是要乐观向上，故选 A。B、D 与 Jon的话无关，C 说“使你的校园生活丰富多彩”，与本文主旨不符。本文讨论毕业典礼而不是入学典礼，所以来宾的话重点不会谈大学生活，而是谈毕业后的人生。
