14、g Comprehens(总题数：12，分数：50.00)1.Part II Listening Comprehension_解析：2.Section A_解析：A.Their health becomes worse.B.They dont fight as hard as before.C.They wont get the benefit of pension. D.They receive less education.解析：解析：新闻提到，下一代的退休人员失去了一项退休福利(wont have a retirement benefit)，这项“福利计划”(defined-benefi
15、t plan)也就是“养老金”(pension)，C“他们得不到养老金的福利”与新闻内容相符。新闻中有提到这批退休人员将是美国有史以来最健康、教育程度最高、最富有的，据此可排除 A、D。B 利用新闻中的 fought hard作干扰，新闻是说这个 pension的制度是上一辈人努力争取出来的结果，并没有说“下一代退休人员不努力”。A.In the late 1970s. B.In the early 1970s.C.During World War .D.In the late 1960s.解析：解析：新闻提到，养老金制度在第二次世界大战时开始流行，到了 20世纪 70年代末达到流行高峰(re
16、ached the height of their popularity in the late 1970s。故答案为 A。A.Nobody was injured in it.B.It was caused by an error. C.It killed 27 miners.D.It affected national electricity supply.解析：解析：新闻开篇就提到，美国政府健康与安全局的官员正在调查一起煤矿爆炸的原因，之后说这明显是一起“错误”(error)，故 B正确。新闻中并没有提到是否有人受伤，A 无法得知。事故中有 12人遇难，而不是 27人，27 是煤矿公司覆
17、盖的州。D 利用新闻中的 nations electricity作干扰，D 所说“影响到全国的电力供应”没有在新闻中提到。A.Extraordinary expansion of mine companies.B.The laws requiring federal mine inspections. C.The decline of coal supply in the world.D.An accident causing thousands of death.解析：解析：新闻提到，当美国国会通过法律要求联邦政府进行煤矿安全检查后(passed laws requiring federal
18、 mine inspections)，媒矿安全从 60年代末开始已有好转。故 B正确。A 中的 Extraordinary expansion有在新闻中提到，但煤矿公司的扩张不是发生在 20世纪 60年代末，也与挖煤产业变得更安全无关。新闻中只提到美国生产全球三分之一的煤，没有提到 C所说的“煤产量下降”。D“一次造成数千人死亡的意外”没有在新闻中提到，只是拼凑了新闻中的 thousands of和 death。A.An express company that delivers food.B.A meal replacement diet C.A report on fast weight-
19、loss diet category.D.An annual ranking of best diet plans.解析：解析：由新闻开头部分可知，HMR 的全称是 Health Management Resources，在美国新闻与世界报道的快速减肥膳食目录(Fast Weight-Loss Diet category)中排名前列。之后又提到 HMR是一种“替代正餐的膳食”(a meal replacement diet)，故确定 B为答案。A.The food is made by medical workers.B.The food is healthier than made-at-h
20、ome meal.C.The food is delivered to dieters directly. D.Dieters can order a variety of food.解析：解析：新闻中间部分提到 HMR program的利弊，新闻用的是 plus side“好处”和 down side“坏处”，其中好处包括试用该项目很快捷(quick-start option)，而且很方便，可以送到你上(convenience of having meals delivered to you)，故 C正确。新闻中有提到，HMR 的膳食是在医疗指导下制作的(under medical supe
21、rvision)，并不是说直接由“医护人员制作”，A 曲解文意。新闻并没比较 HMR与家庭自做的菜哪个更健康，B 排除。新闻中用 the milk lacks variety来表明食物品种不丰富，D 所说与此相反。A.It is tough to achieve.B.It may change our lifestyle.C.It is unhealthy and unsustainable. D.It can lead to future diseases.解析：解析：新闻末段提到，对快速减肥存在的误解是：它不健康，没有持续性(not healthy, not sustainable)，并且
22、体重在将来会反弹(lead to future weight re-gain)，C 用了 healthy和sustainable的反义词 unhealthy和 unsustainable，和新闻意思一致，故为答案。A“很难做到”未在新闻中提到。B 中的关键词 lifestyle change出现在新闻末尾，客观陈述该计划改变生活方式，但这并非人们对快速减肥的误解。D“可能会导致疾病”未在新闻中提到。3.Section B_解析：A.The relationship between farmers, Ward and Sears.B.The development of the catalog
23、sales business. C.The relationship between the catalog and textbooks.D.The story of a Chicago retailer.解析：解析：尽管四个选项在对话中都有提及，但 A、C、D 只是对话的一部分，只有 B可以涵盖对话中的所有内容。长对话的主旨大意题，关键是听对话的第一个话轮(对话双方各发言一次叫一个话轮)。由order，catalog 两个关键词即可推出答案是 B。尽管 C中也有 catalog，但它提到 textbook，没有涵盖原文主要内容，而只是其中一个细节。A.Because he wanted to
24、 beat Ward.B.Because he wanted to help his brother Ward.C.Because he thought this business was profitable. D.Because he enjoyed competition in this business.解析：解析：对话中女士说到：“在得知 Ward赚了多少钱以后，另一个名叫 Richard Sears的人也开展自己的邮购业务。”可见 Sears是为了赚大钱，所以选 C。“转折 but处出题”。没有理由听不懂“how much money Ward was making”!profit
25、able是 make money的同义替换。A.Farmers. B.City people.C.Business people.D.Students.解析：解析：女士说：“邮购业务很受农场主欢迎”，并说“农场主们信赖 Ward和 Sears”。可知该业务的主要客户是农场主。本题较简单，对话中多次提到 farmers。A.It helped students with spelling and adding. B.It helped students become familiar with a variety of goods.C.Students might order things fr
26、om the catalog.D.Schools were short of textbooks at that time.解析：解析：男士很惊奇地问：“Textbooks?”下文女士给出了解释：“是啊，学生们用邮购表中事物的名称练习拼写，用其中的价格练习加法运算。”所以选 A。适用“听到什么选什么”的原则。spelling与 adding两个词一定会很“夺耳”!A.The commentator made it very dull.B.The game was exciting.C.It was between the Gunners and the Wolves. D.It was won
27、 by the Wolves.解析：解析：对话中男士说：“我原本以为 Gunners队打得不错，能以现在的状态打败 Wolves队。”因此该比赛是在 Gunners与 Wolves两队之间进行的，选 C。A、B 貌似矛盾，实际语义是一致的。C 提供了两个专有名词，扫清了听力障碍。A.1 goal.B.2 goals.C.3 goals.D.5 goals. 解析：解析：女士说，“他们上半场至少该进 3球，下半场进 2球”，所以 Alice认为 Gunners队本应该进 5球，答案是 D。A.How they play in the next match.B.How they shape aft
28、er Christmas. C.How they get over the difficulty.D.How they explain to the public.解析：解析：女士问男士如何看待 Wolves队的走势，男士回答说他认为全取决于圣诞节后的状态，本题符合“长对话听到什么选什么”的原则，选 B。A.A team member called Blake was injured. B.Christmas was coming.C.They cant score many goals.D.They still have some influence from Blake.解析：解析：对话最
29、后男士说：“Blake 受伤前他们还是很棒的，但缺少了他在进攻方面的影响，他们就再也进不了球了。”由此可见，是 Blake受伤影响了球队。答案是 A。出题之处已有多重语义特征：女士连说两次“我不明白”，男士对此表示赞同，并在反问“真的能这么说吗?”之后用 because(重要的信号词)说出理由。因此，一听到 Blake got injured即可马上得到 A。4.Section C_解析：A.The uniqueness of Japanese art.B.Some features of Japanese culture.C.Characteristics of Japanese artis
30、ts.D.The art of Japanese brush painting. 解析：解析：短文一开始就提到 Opp-Kemp的演讲是关于日式毛笔绘画艺术，因此答案为 D。A“日本艺术的独特性”、B“日本文化的一些特点”和 C“日本艺术家的特点”短文中均未提及。A.To calm themselves down.B.To signal lack of interest.C.To show their impatience.D.To enhance concentration. 解析：解析：短文提到日本听众有时会闭上眼睛以更好地集中注意力(to enhance concentration)，D
31、 属于原词复现，因此答案为 D。A“使自己平静下来”、B“表示缺乏兴趣”及 C“显示他们不耐烦”可能与日常经验相符合，但是短文均未提及，不能想当然地去选。A.How listeners in different cultures show respect. B.How speakers can win approval from the audience.C.How speakers can misunderstand the audience.D.How different Western and Eastern art forms are.解析：解析：短文提到学习不同的文化如何表达尊重可以
32、帮助你避免一些误解，A 中的 show为 how different cultures signal respect中 signal一词的同义替换，因此答案为 A。本题为主旨大意题。短文以演讲时候一些日本听众闭上眼睛为引子，后面列举了其他例子，意在说明在不同的文化中表达尊重的方式各不相同。B“演讲人如何赢得听众的认同”、C“演讲人如何误解听众”和 D“东西方艺术形式有多不同”均不是叙述者所要说明的问题。注意，C 具有迷惑性，但它的含义太泛；短文都是围绕respect，applause，approval 展开，不涉及其他方面的“误解”。A.Interviewing and recruiting
33、employees.B.Directing personnel evaluation.C.Buying and maintaining equipment. D.Drawing up plans for in-service training.解析：解析：短文开始就提到克里斯负责设备的购买和维护，问题中的 main responsibility与短文开始提到的 in charge of意思相同，因此答案为 C。A“面试和招聘雇员”、B“主导人事评价”和 D“制定在职培训计划”均与短文内容不符。A.Two of his workers were injured at work.B.Two of
34、his employees committed theft. C.Some of his equipment was damaged in a fire.D.The training program he ran was a failure.解析：解析：短文提到克里斯雇的两个员工有偷窃行为，他不得不把他们解雇，B 中的 committed theft是对短文中 were stealing的同义替换，因此答案为 B。A 错在 injured“受伤”一词，可排除；C 是利用短文提到的 fire“开除”一词制造干扰，实际上是瞎编乱，凑的选项；D 说他的培训项目失败了，也与短文内容不符，短文中说他的培
35、训让员工省了时间，也让公司省了钱，因此是成功的。A.Advancement to a higher position. B.A better relationship with his boss.C.A better-paying job in another company.D.Improvement in the companys management.解析：解析：短文说克里斯知道过几个月会有一个负责整个公司设备的购买与维护的职位空出来，而他希望能被提升到这个岗位上。也就是说他想得到一个更高的职位(克里斯目前只是负责部门设备的购买和维修)，因此答案为 A。B“与老板的关系更好”、C“在另一
36、家公司更高工资的工作”和 D“公司的管理得到提升”的关键词 relationship with his boss，better-paying job 以及 companys management在短文中均没有提到。A.She has more self-confidence than Chris.B.She works with Chris in the same division.C.She is competing with Chris for the new job. D.She has more management experience than Chris.解析：解析：短文提到克里
37、斯知道还有另外一个人想要这份新工作，这个人就是 Kim。很容易可以判断Kim也是这个岗位的竞争者，因此答案为 C。A 中的 self-confidence“自信”在短文中并未提及；短文提到 Kim负责公司另一个部门的设备购买和维护，因此可以排除 B；D 中的 more management experience“更多管理经验”，录音中没有提及。A.They guide us in handling human relationships.B.They help us see the important values of a culture. C.They help us express ou
38、rselves more effectively.D.They are an infinite source of human knowledge.解析：解析：短文提到许多谚语告诉人们文化中一些重要的价值观，B 是该意思的同义概括，因此为答案。A的关键词 handling human relationships“处理人员关系”短文中没有提到；C 中的 express ourselves more effectively“更有效地表达自我”也没有根据；D 中的 all infinite source“无尽的源泉”显然高估了 proverbs的作用，与短文内容不符。A.They may be mi
39、sinterpreted occasionally.B.Their wording may become different.C.Their origins can no longer be traced.D.The values they reflect may change. 解析：解析：短文中提到许多谚语非常古老，所以这些谚语所体现的价值观可能不像过去那么重要了。这也就表明随着时间的流逝，这些谚语原本所反映的价值观也处在变化的过程中，因此答案为 D。A“偶尔被误解”、B“用词变得不同”和 C“再也找不到起源”，在短文中均未提及。A.Old proverbs are constantly
40、replaced by new ones.B.Some proverbs are assuming more and more importance.C.Certain values have always been central to a culture.D.Certain values are shared by a large number of cultures. 解析：解析：短文最后提到一项对谚语的研究表明，世界上许多文化有着一些共同的价值观，D 与短文中some values are shared by many cultures意思相同，因此为答案。短文中未提到用新谚语替代旧谚语(A)，也没有说文化中某些价值观总是核心的(C)，因此排除 A、C。录音中提及谚语中表达的价值观有可能变弱，也有可能一直很重要，但没有说“越来越重要”，故不可选 B。
