14、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-benefit
15、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(
16、reached 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
17、是煤矿公司覆盖的州。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
18、federal mine inspections)，煤矿安全从 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
19、on fast weight-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 oA.The food is made by medical workers.B.The food is health
20、ier than made-at-home 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，可以送到你手上(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
21、作的(under medical supervision)，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 healt
22、hy，not sustainable)，并且体重在将来会反弹(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.He finds it hard to afford the rent all by himself. B.He
23、 feels lonely living all by himself.C.He needs to 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
24、 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 strapped 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 sn
25、ow.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。soiled 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
26、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 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.Dete
27、rmined.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“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，隋绪和心理的形容词，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
28、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
29、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 scheme 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 mana
30、gement 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，起点是 870 英镑。”C正确。4.Section C_解析：A.The whole routine of life is shattered. B.The need to talk to other people is increasing.C.Nothing is more important than controlling ones own time.D.Nobody is alone in the unemployment experience.解析：解析：短文说：失去
31、工作几乎总是会带来一些令人不快的变化。收入减少之外，许多人还发现整个生活常规全打乱了，与别人的接触减少，雄心受挫，还失去了工作者的身份。A 正确。四个陈述句选项，各自的主语都不相同，选项的主要词汇也没有什么关联。由此可以推测的是，本题应该问细节而非主旨(主旨题各选项中的词语总会相互关联)。可以“听到什么选什么”。短文中的设问句 What are the first feelings?之后出现了 A 中的原词，也属于在语义强调之处出题。A.Days are getting longer. B.Days are getting shorter.C.Time becomes easier to fi
32、ll.D.It is a good opportunity to develop their hobbies.解析：解析：短文中说到：但是如果不能找到一个更好的工作的话，日子可能会变得漫长，时间也变得更难以打发。由此选 A。A、B、C 三个选项说“时间”，D 说“业余爱好”。A、B 语义矛盾，B、C 其实语义一致(等价)。由选项自身可以初步判断答案是 A。But 转折处出题。A.Unemployment brings bad feelings.B.Unemployment brings good feelings.C.One should try to make the best of une
33、mployment. D.Unemployed people are lonely.解析：解析：短文在前两个段落谈到失业的不良影响后，在第三段说“失业也是一个新的开始的机会”，谈如何利用失业重新开始，故答案是 C。A、B 内容矛盾，各执一词，但太绝对化，故不能是答案。A.Cooking.B.Cleaning.C.Skin care. D.Painting.解析：解析：短文第 2 句开始谈植物油的用处，提到了 cooking，paint 和 cleaning products，只有 C项未提及，因而它就是答案。A.50%.B.40%.C.30%.D.20%. 解析：解析：短文提到，大豆的含油量为
34、 20，故选 D。百分比作选项，难点不在猜测问题是什么类型，而在于对文中出现的每个百分比(50和 20)做出准确的笔记。在听到问题后才能根据笔记作答。A.How to release oil from seeds. B.How to test the local market for oil.C.Food and oil.D.Soybean and oil.解析：解析：短文第 1 句指出，人类使用植物(种子)油有着漫长的历史。然后谈到植物油的用途，主要的植物油来源以及如何提取植物油，因此，本文的主题是 A。从选项的高度概括性来看，本题当问文章的主旨大意。核心词是 oil，然后每个选项都给出了另
35、一个关键词：seeds，market，food，soybean。本文多处提到 oil 和 seeds，因此不难选出答案。其他几项的关键词只是文章中的局部内容，不能充当主题。A.National Similarities and Global Differences.B.World Culture and the Future of Schooling.C.National Differences, Global Similarities: World Culture and the Future of Schooling. D.National Similarities, Global Dif
36、ferences: World Culture and the Future of Schooling.解析：解析：C 是由短文提到的书名照搬下来的选项。四个选项都是专有名词，或者问短文的主旨大意，或者问别的什么标题。C、D 的差异只在一个词上(similarities 与 differences)，听录音时要多注意。A.The book was written by David Baker.B.We can find information on about 15 countries in the book.C.The professors started to write the book
37、 in 1994.D.The book compares public education systems around the world. 解析：解析：短文第 1 句即提到：宾夕法尼亚州立大学的两位教授的一本新书比较了世界各地的公共教育体制。因此 D 正确。短文第 1 句往往是出题的重点。听到什么选什么。A.Hungary, Malaysia and the Philippines.B.Hungary, Romania and the Philippines. C.Spain, Romania and the Philippines.D.Hungary, Australia and Ira
38、q.解析：解析：文中提到：“两位教授说，校园暴力最多的国家包括匈牙利、罗马尼亚和菲律宾。”因此 B正确。读题可知，本题问到几个国家名称，这几个国家有着某种共同点。听音时，可一项项“对号入座”。语义强调之处会出题，文中 the most school violence 成了选项的标志。A.School violence has nothing to do with the educational system.B.Schools should stop trying to raise scores.C.Schools should treat every student equally. D.Schools should divide students into “winners and losers“.解析：解析：短文最后说到：“Baker 教授说，教育体制的不平等产生了影响。”C 正确。A、B、D 的观点也可以对照短文最后的内容一一排除。此外，绝对化的选项不是答案，可排除 A。B、D 的观点也不符合一般情理。
