15、 Americans. C.Visit famed national museums and monuments.D.Donate money to build new museums.解析：解析：新闻中提到，二月是黑人历史月，鼓励美国人去了解以及感恩非裔美国人对美国社会做出的众多贡献，故 B正确。A“学习美国历史”、C“参观著名的国家博物馆和纪念碑”和 D“捐款建造一座新的博物馆”都不是黑人历史月鼓励美国人去做的事。A.To join association of museums.B.To collect money from architects.C.To choose donors.D.
16、To build a new museum. 解析：解析：新闻中提到，Smithsonian Institution 宣布要建一个“非裔美国人历史与文化国家博物馆”(National Museum of African American History and Culture)。故答案为 D“建造新博物馆”。A 利用新闻中的 join和 museum制造干扰，但“博物馆协会”没有在新闻中出现。新闻中提到建造博物馆之前，要先选定建筑师(architect must be chosen)、征集收藏品(collection must be assembled)和募捐建造博物馆的费用(halfpric
17、e tag must be provided from private donors)，B、C 项胡乱拼凑了这些信息点，并不是 Smithsonian Institution真正要做的事。A.Several. B.80.C.More than 800.D.Several hundred.解析：解析：新闻提到，泰国官方已经确认 80名缅甸工人在海啸中丧生。同时，在 800多具没有确定身份的遇难者尸体中，泰国官方认为其中有一些为缅甸人(several of the)。故 A正确。A.They were employed by contractors.B.They overlooked the go
18、vernment aid.C.They called attention to the problems of migrants.D.They were unable to get government aid. 解析：解析：新闻提到，那些在海啸中幸免于难的人发现他们的工作没了，家和财产也被海啸冲走了，并且他们也得不到政府的援助(unable to get government aid)。故 D正确，并同时可以排除 B“他们忽视政府的援助”。A“他们被包工头雇用了”和新闻说的“他们工作没了”(their jobswere gone)相反。C所说的“引起对移民问题的关注”是泰国劳工活跃分子 Ad
19、join Kurdmongkol的呼吁，与海啸幸存者无关。A.To help companies make more money.B.To gain reputation around the world.C.To keep temperatures at a low level.D.To control the change of climate. 解析：解析：新闻开头提到，巴黎协定(Paris agreement)呼吁减少对化石燃料的使用及其排放的温室气体，尤其是二氧化碳，其目的是控制气候变化(to curb climate change)。D 中的 control the change
20、of climate和新闻中的 curb climate change含义相同，为本题答案。A 是利用新闻末尾的 profitable编造的信息，新闻中说该工厂不盈利所以没有投资吸引力，A 与新闻内容相反。B“在全球范围内获得名声”未在新闻中提到。C 中的 temperature有在新闻中出现，但是新闻中说新能源并不能有效抑制气温升到危险水平，并未提及气温应控制在什么水平。A.Transportation of sands and oil.B.Way to stop emitting carbon dioxide.C.Capture and storage of carbon dioxide.
21、 D.Method of exploring more oil.解析：解析：新闻提到，Royal Dutch Shell 是北美的一家石油公司，接着又说它举行了一个盛大的开幕式，进行捕获和储存碳的项目(Quest carbon capture and storage project)，故 C为答案。新闻中多次提到 sand和 oil，但并未提及其运输情况(transportation)，故排除 A。该项目并非 B所说的“停止排放二氧化碳”，而是要对其进行储存以防止其进入空气中，故排除 B。D 是利用对 Shell公司是石油公司进行干扰，新闻并没有提及要开发更多石油。A.Because it n
22、eeds governments support.B.Because its hard to acquire the technology.C.Because its not easy to make a profit. D.Because it requires a lot of money.解析：解析：新闻末尾部分提到，Quest project 成本非常高，却只能捕获其产生的二氧化碳总量的三分之一，最后又说不能吸引投资是因为不能盈利(not profitable)，由此可知答案为 C。A“需要政府支持”没有在新闻中提到。B 中的 technology出现在新闻中后段，说该技术已存在一段时
23、间，但成本仍然极高，可见该技术并非难以取得，只是价格昂贵。D 干扰性强，该技术确实需要大量资金，但是不具备盈利能力才是无法吸引公司投资的真正原因。3.Section B_解析：A.It allows him to make a lot of friends.B.It requires him to work long hours. C.It enables him to apply theory to practice.D.It helps him understand people better.解析：解析：对话一开始男士就回答说他要工作很长时间，每天 11个小时，每周 6天。因此答案为B。
24、A“使他能交到很多朋友”、C“使他得以将理论应用于实践”和 D“帮助他更好地理解人们”录音未提及。A.It is intellectually challenging.B.It requires him to do washing-up all the time.C.It exposes him to oily smoke all day long.D.It demands physical endurance and patience. 解析：解析：女士问这份工作比较困难的是什么?男士回答说要一直站着，结合工作时间长，可判断出这份工作需要耐力和耐心。因此答案为 D。A“在智力上有挑战”和 C
25、“整天接触油烟”无原文依据：男士在前面曾说到“不需要洗餐具”，因此 B错误。A.In a hospital.B.At a coffee shop.C.At a laundry.D.In a hotel. 解析：解析：男士说给 6个宾馆写了信，其中一个给了他第一份工作。因此答案为 D。A“医院”、B“咖啡店”和 C“干洗店”均与男士所述不符。A.Getting along well with colleagues.B.Paying attention to every detail. C.Planning everything in advance.D.Knowing the needs of
26、customers.解析：解析：对话中男士说做好工作的秘诀是关注细节、热爱工作、有激情。B 属于其中之一，故为答案。A“与同事好好相处”、C“提前计划好所有事情”和 D“知道顾客的需求”均属随意捏造，原文无相关信息支持。A.The pocket money British children get. B.The annual inflation rate in Britain.C.The things British children spend money on.D.The rising cost of raising a child in Britain.解析：解析：对话开头就提到这个数据
27、表是关于英国儿童的零花钱的。因此答案为 A。pocket money 为原文高频词组，由此也可以推测本对话的主题，可依据主题答题。B“英国的年通货膨胀率”、C“英国孩子花钱购买的物品”及 D“在英国养育孩子上涨的成本”均与录音所述不符。A.It enables children to live better.B.It goes down during economic recession.C.It often rises higher than inflation. D.It has gone up 25% in the past decade.解析：解析：对话中女士问过男士如何看待零用钱的上
28、升常常高于通货膨胀。因此答案为 C。对话中提到词组 better off，A 的 live better为干扰项；B“在经济不景气时下降”原文未提及；D 中的 25尽管在原文中提到过，但 past decade“过去十年”未提及。A.Parents in Britain are too generous. B.Parents in Britain make more money.C.Parents in Britain love their children too much.D.Parents in Britain want their children to be better off.解
29、析：解析：对话中女士问男士如何看待零用钱的上升常常高于通货膨胀，男士回答原因可能是英国的父母过于慷慨(Perhaps parents in Britain are too generous)。A 是对此的原词复现，故为答案。B“英国的父母挣钱更多了”和 C“英国的父母太爱孩子了”录音未提及；D“英国的父母希望孩子生活得更好”利用原词 better off制造干扰，但与男士所给原因不符。A.Save up for their future education.B.Pay for small personal things. C.Buy their own shoes and socks.D.Ma
30、ke donations when necessary.解析：解析：当女士问男士期望孩子们用零花钱干什么的时候，他回答说他们可以用这些钱买点小的私人物品。因此答案为 B。A“为将来的学业存起来”和 D“必要的时候捐款”原文未提及；C“给他们自己买鞋和袜子”为强干扰项，这实际上与原文说的“不指望他们存钱给自己买袜子”相悖。4.Section C_解析：A.The uniqueness of Japanese art.B.Some features of Japanese culture.C.Characteristics of Japanese artists.D.The art of Japa
31、nese 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 属于原词复现，因此答案为 D。A“使自
32、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帮助你避免一些误解，A 中的 show为
33、 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 employees.B.Directin
34、g 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 his employees commit
35、ted 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，短文中说他的培训让员工省了时间，也让公司省了钱，因此是成
36、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“在另一家公司更高工资的工作”和 D“公司的管理得
37、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：短文提到克里斯知道还有另外一个人想要这份新工作，这个人
38、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 serf-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 ourselves more effectiv
39、ely.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 an 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 misinterpreted occasiona
40、lly.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 replaced by new ones.B
41、.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。
