13、stening Comprehension_解析:2.Section A_解析:A.The effects of floods in the U.S.B.A heavy storm system struck the U.S.C.U.S. states were facing floods threats. D.Tornadoes destroyed homes in the U.S.解析:解析:新闻开门见山提出主旨:美国 16 个州正面临洪水危机(under a flood warning),紧接着介绍暴风雨引发的一系列美国洪灾。因此新闻主旨就是“美国正面临洪灾危机”。C 正确。A“美国洪灾
14、的影响”只在新闻结尾提到,是部分内容,并非主旨。B“一次严重暴风雨袭击美国”虽然有在新闻中提到,但这只是说明美国洪灾的起因,而不是主要内容。D 错在 Tornadoes,新闻说的是洪灾(flood),而非卷风。A.It came in early December.B.It ended in Michigan.C.It destroyed buildings near Memphis.D.It caused dozens of deaths. 解析:解析:新闻中提到,数十人死于这场暴雨带来的恶劣条件中(dozens of people died),故 D 正确。A“起于十二月初”与新闻说的“十
15、二月末”(late December)不符。B“终止于密歇根州”,新闻是说该暴雨从新墨西哥到密歇根再一路向东(stretching from New Mexico to Michigan and going its way east),所以并非在密歇根州结束。C 错在 Memphis,新闻提到暴雨带来的龙卷风催毁建筑是在达拉斯(Dallas)附近,而不是孟菲斯(Memphis)附近。A.Its level was not big enough.B.Its center was deep below the surface. C.It struck rural mountainous areas
16、.D.The constructions it struck are solid.解析:解析:新闻引述地质学家的话指出,由于震中很深,在离地表 130 英里处(so deep,more than 130 miles below the surface),所以影响很有限,故 B 正确。新闻中提到,地震等级是 75,足以造成巨大的破坏,故 A“等级不够大”错误。C“地震发生在乡村山区”符合新闻末尾提到的内容,但这并不是地震破坏力有限的原因。D“地震发生地区的建筑物很坚固”与新闻末提到的内容(当地没有坚固的桥梁和可靠的通信系统)相反。A.More than 200 houses were destr
17、oyed.B.More than 200 people were killed. C.Pakistan was the only affected place.D.No survivor was found in some affected villages.解析:解析:新闻中提到地震造成的一系列后果,其中包括“超过 200 人被确认死亡”(more than 200 peoplewere confirmed dead),B 与此完全一致。故正确。被毁房屋的数量应为超过 4000 个,A 数字错误。C 错在 only,巴基斯坦并不是唯一受灾的地方,阿富汗(Afghanistan)和塔吉克斯坦(
18、Tajikistan)也受到影响。D 中的 some affected villages 在新闻末尾有出现,但只是说救援人员很难进入,而不是说“不能在这些村庄找到生还者”,D 错误。A.They change traditional migration paths.B.They generally live in dangerous areas.C.They are losing their habitats. D.Their habitats are not protected.解析:解析:新闻开头提到,因为鸟类的栖息地正在消失(because their habitats,or homel
19、ands,are disappearing)。C 中的 losing 与 disappearing 同义,故正确。A“它们改变了传统的迁徙路线”,新闻只是说在它们的迁徙路线中有许多危险的区域,并没有说鸟类改变迁徙路线。B“它们主要住在危险的地区”中的 dangerous areas 在新闻中是说鸟类迁徙会经过许多危险区域,不是说它们住在危险区域。D“它们的栖息地未受到保护”,新闻中鸟类危险的直接原因是栖息地的消失,“未受到保护”是后文的阐述,并不是直接原因。A.The biggest danger for them is development. B.Few of their paths ar
20、e dangerous.C.They never stop as they move.D.They have no place to feed as they move.解析:解析:新闻提到对于迁徙的鸟而言,最主要的危险是发展(The major danger for migratory birds is development),A 与新闻表述一致,其中的 biggest 与 major 同义。B“它们迁徙的路途少有危险之处”与新闻内容相反,新闻中说大部分路途都有危险(91 percent of them passed through dangerous areas)。C“它们迁徙过程中从不
21、停歇”和 D“它们在迁徙时没有地方供它们觅食”都与新闻不一致。新闻中有几处地方都提到鸟儿会在迁徙的过程中停下来觅食(birds stop and feed as they move from one part of the wondtoanother),故 C、D 错误。A.Urban expansion.B.Land expansion. C.Agricultural expansion.D.Industrial expansion.解析:解析:新闻末尾部分提到,关键栖息地被用于土地复垦(many of these critical sites have been lost to land
22、reuse)。B 中的 land expansion 与新闻中 land reuse 同义,故 B 正确。A“城市扩展”、C“农业扩展”和 D“工业扩展”三项都不是栖息地消失的直接原因,而是间接原因。这三个内容在新闻中是并列出现的,不可能同时为答案。3.Section B_解析:A.He wants to improve his language skills.B.He wants to enter a US college.C.His friend wants to attend a US university. D.His friend wants to improve English f
23、or a better job.解析:解析:对话开头男士就说了打电话的理由,并进一步说:“我的一个朋友想去美国上大学”。故选C。A.Literature.B.US Culture.C.TOEFLD.Business English. 解析:解析:女士在介绍课程时,提到了 computer literacy,intercultural communication 和business English,故 D 正确。选项 A 是对话中 computer literacy 的近音干扰。A.It offers courses for people who want to improve their pr
24、ofessional skills.B.It offers job opportunities for people who have studied in it.C.Its programs allow students to study in the US. D.The students can take its courses locally in their home country.解析:解析:对话中女士说,学生要拿语言中心颁发的 I-20 表到领事馆申请 F-1 学生签证,这样才能到语言中心学习,故 C 正确。A.$2,030. B.$2,013.C.$2,300.D.$2,330
25、.00解析:解析:女士回答说,学费是 2030 美元,故选 A。注意区分 30 和 13 的发音,以免误选 B。A.To make an appointment.B.To ask for an interview.C.To promote advertisements. D.To have a negotiation.解析:解析:女士是广告公司的销售代理,她在上门推销公司的广告业务。故 C 正确。A.Impatient but then reluctant.B.Indifferent but then interested. C.Convinced but then reluctant.D.A
26、ccepted but then impatient.解析:解析:得知女士的来意后,男士说,他对他们目前的广告合作伙伴挺满意的,也就是说,对于女士所在的广告公司不感兴趣(indifferent),在女士展示了公司广告后,男士有所动心,要求女士留下名片(interested),故 B 正确。男士开始不明白女士的来意,表现出不耐烦(impatient),但后来明显表现出一定的兴趣,A 中的 reluctant(不情愿的)和 D 中的 accepted(作形容词表示“公认的”)均不妥;C 说男士已经 convinced(被说服了的),不准确。A.It is a company of three ye
27、ars. B.It is an advertising company.C.It has earned a lot since it was set up.D.It specializes in selling billboards.解析:解析:女士说她知道男士的公司三年前成立,且在过去两年他的生意很不错,可见选 A。女士的公司才是广告公司,B 不对;从女士的话中只知道男士的公司过去两年生意不错,C 却说从一建立就赚了很多钱,故不选;录音中女士说她相信男士看过很多 SAC公司设计的电视广告和广告牌,如果他们合作,可让男士公司的产品知名度更高,销量更好,据此可推断 SAC公司实际上是女士的公司,
28、故D“男士的公司专门从事卖广告牌的生意”不正确。A.Some customers have got their payment back because theyre not satisfied.B.The company will redo the products again and again until the customers are satisfied. C.The company does not sign a contract with its customers concerning its service.D.The man will use the companys s
29、ervice when he has a new product.解析:解析:女士说到,她所在的公司会不厌其烦地修改其电视或招牌广告,直到客户满意为止,故 B 正确。由 payment back 听到 refund,女士说那样的事从未发生,故 A 错。由 contract 知,女士说客户可以不要合同限制,但并不是说她的公司不受合同限制,故 C 错。对话尾声男士说他会打电话给女士,但这并不表明他一定会把业务交给女士的公司,D 错在语气太肯定。4.Section C_解析:A.In green forests.B.In dry deserts.C.In the Pacific Ocean.D.In
30、 the North Pole region. 解析:解析:短文开头就提到,除了北极地区和南太平洋的一些岛屿外,到处都有蛇类。故正确答案为D。A.Snakes like to stay in the sun.B.Snakes like warmth. C.Snakes are used to extra-hot weather.D.Snakes are good swimmers.解析:解析:短文说:“因为蛇类是冷血动物,依赖于温暖的气候,所以热带地区蛇类的数量最多”。由此可知,答案为 B。A.They are very intelligent.B.They are the most inte
31、lligent.C.They are more intelligent.D.They are less intelligent. 解析:解析:短文最后提到,“但与其他动物相比,蛇类的智力低于平均值”,故 D 正确。less intelligent 和 below average in intelligence 是同义表达。A.He was doing shopping.
