21、asic steps。由此可知，研究性论文和普通的评论性文章有相同的基本步骤。此空后给的三个例子为一般写论文的基本步骤，由此也可推断出答案。(2).【T2】（分数：2.00）填空项1:_（正确答案：正确答案：identifying）解析：解析：本空为与choosing a topic及asking questions并列的例子，听录音时应留意。原文除了提到选择主题和提问题外，接着还提到要确定目标读者(identifying the audience)，填入录音原词identifying即可。(3).【T3】（分数：2.00）填空项1:_（正确答案：正确答案：raw material）解析：解析
22、：原文提到“研究性文章和其他类型的文章不同之处是你的原始材料来自于书面的东西，而不是你的脑子。”由此可知，原材料的不同，是研究性论文和普通评论性文章的根本不同点。因此，两类文体的不同点在于raw material。题目中关键词为difference，在听音时应注意听力原文中Is there any difference后的内容。(4).【T4】（分数：2.00）填空项1:_（正确答案：正确答案：head）解析：解析：由解答上一题的录音关键句中可知普通评论性文章的原材料来源于个人的思想，即ideas in ones head。本题的答案通过简单的转换，也可方便地从录音原文中获得。也可填mind。
23、(5).【T5】（分数：2.00）填空项1:_（正确答案：正确答案：facts and opinions）解析：解析：本空需填入调查研究性论文的第一个特点。录音首先提到，在撰写调查研究性论文时需要搜集事实和各种各样的观点，即facts and opinions。本题答案可直接从录音获得，也可根据搭配习惯及文章主旨，总结原文内容填入data。(6).【T6】（分数：2.00）填空项1:_（正确答案：正确答案：quote）解析：解析：此空需填入调查研究性论文的第二个特点。说到调查研究性论文的写作，录音提到，through quotation，summary，and paraphrase，you由于
24、空格前为不定式to，故此空应填入quotation的动词形式quote。(7).【T7】（分数：2.00）填空项1:_（正确答案：正确答案：summarize）解析：解析：该空承接上空需填入调查研究性论文的另一个特点。结合上题的分析，应填入summary的相应动词summarize。(8).【T8】（分数：2.00）填空项1:_（正确答案：正确答案：objective）解析：解析：原文提到作者需要提供最具代表性的事实或观点，对所阐述的观点进行客观的捕述。此外，原文还指出作者本人不能对任何一种态度或观点表示明确的。支持，即在写调查研究性论文时，作者需持客观态度。(9).【T9】（分数：2.00）
25、填空项1:_（正确答案：正确答案：interpret）解析：解析：此空为写作论证性文章的步骤。原文提到，除了使用调查研究性文章的步骤外，还需interpret，question，compare等等，因此答案为interpret。(10).【T10】（分数：2.00）填空项1:_（正确答案：正确答案：Purpose）解析：解析：论证性文章的第2个特点是your purpose may vary with your topic，即写作目的因写作内容不同而不同。题目中给出的to recommend all action，etc“推荐一种行为，等等”是表示目的的，据此也可推断出此空可填purpose一
26、词。此外，由与此空所在句并列的aThe writer可知，purpose的首字母应大写。(11).【T11】（分数：2.00）填空项1:_（正确答案：正确答案：ask questions）解析：解析：选择论题的方法就是提出问题，即ask questions，文章后面列举了在选择和确定论题时需要提出的4个问题。考生可以通过研读考题发现需要填入空格的词。题目中，紧接着这句话的是QuestionNo1，Question No2，Question，No3，Question No4等字样，因此作为概括性的一句话，应填入ask questions。(12).【T12】（分数：2.00）填空项1:_（正确答
27、案：正确答案：familiarity）解析：解析：本题涉及选择主题时需要问自己的4个问题中的第1个：是否想了解更多。概括来说，是需要回顾询问自己对所要选的主题既有的熟悉程度，故答案可填familiarity。(13).【T13】（分数：2.00）填空项1:_（正确答案：正确答案：availability）解析：解析：本题涉及选择主题时需要问自己的4个问题中的第2个：是否能够找到与此主题相关的资源。也即是说相关信息的可用性，故答案可概括为availability。(14).【T14】（分数：2.00）填空项1:_（正确答案：正确答案：a manageable size）解析：解析：录音中与本题相
28、关的信息是“你能否把你的题目削减到你可以掌控的大小。”随后的录音中，演讲者继续提到“你可以提一些问题来帮助你把题目削减到你可以掌控的大小”，据此，可知所缺的信息是a manageable size。(15).【T15】（分数：2.00）填空项1:_（正确答案：正确答案：the topic itself）解析：解析：录音中与本题相关的信息是What questions can you ask about the topic itself“你能就主题本身提什么问题”。据此可知应填入the topic itself。3.SECTION B INTERVIEWIn this section you w

Both the interview and the questions will be spoken ONCE ONLY. After each question there will be a ten-second pause. During the pause, you should read the

31、e young.解析：解析：采访者与McKay教授打过招呼后，直接说听闻McKay教授和其团队刚完成了一个有关老年人的报告，故B为答案。A说修订了一个旧报告(revised an old report)、C说重写了一份报告，均与录音所述不符，排除；D说完成了关于年轻人的报告，也不对。A.To look into the mental health of old people.B.To explain why people have negative views on old age.C.To help correct some false beliefs about old age.D.To
32、identify the various problems of old age.解析：解析：采访者问及报告的内容，McKay教授回答说，报告的目的是为了澄清人们对于老年人的一些错误观点，故C为正确答案。正确解答此题须了解原文verify“检验，校验”的意思。A意为“探究老年人的精神健康”、B“解释为何人们对老年持负面观点”、D“鉴别老年的各种问题”。A.Help people change their feelings about old age.B.Reveal that old people are poor, lonely and unhappy.C.Lead people to fi
33、nd that old people are unattractive.D.Lead people to help old people deal with their sickness.解析：解析：采访者问McKay教授认为自己的报告能取得什么样的效果，McKay教授回答说希望报告能帮助人们转变对老年的看法。因此答案为A。B和C虽出现访谈中的录音原词old people are poor，lonely and unhappy“老年人贫穷、孤独、不开心”及old people are unattractive“老年人没有吸引力”，但并非McKay教授希望自己的报告所能取得效果涉及的内容，排除；
34、D“引领人们帮助老年人处理病况”访谈中未提及，排除。A.Because old people know when they should go to the hospital.B.Because old people are healthy from their childhood to middle age.C.Because old people reaching 65 or 70 are the strong among us.D.Because old people have kept exercising all the time.解析：解析：本题考查为何人们不应预期老年人病痛更多。
35、Mckay教授提到65或者70岁的老年人在人群中属于健壮者，C与此相符，故为答案。A“老年人知道什么时候该上医院”与录音提及的老年人到60或65岁时已学会照顾自己不尽相符，录音对此的补充说明是“注意保暖、规律睡眠及合理饮食”；B说老年人从幼时到中年一直健康与常识不符，且录音也未提及；D“老年人一直坚持运动”录音未提及。A.Family love is gradually disappearing.B.It is hard to comment on family relationship.C.More children are indifferent to their parents.D.Fa
36、mily love remains as strong as before.解析：解析：本题问及家庭亲子关系(family relationship)。McKay教授说，他们的报告并未发现family feeling is either dying or dead，由此确定答案应为D“家庭成员之间的爱与以往一样强烈”。A“家庭成员之间的爱正逐渐消失”和C“更多孩子对父母冷漠”与报告的发现相反；B“难以评论家庭关系”与录音不符。A.Because the children refuse to have parents living with them.B.Because the children
37、 can afford to have their own homes.C.Because the parents prefer to live in nursing homes now.D.Because the parents refuse to care for their children any more.解析：解析：本题考查为何更多父母不再和自己已婚的孩子住在一起。访谈中。McKay教授说原因是更多年轻人有能力购买自己的房子，因此选B。A“孩子拒绝与父母一起住”是被McKay教授否定的原因：C“父母更愿意住在疗养院”和D“父母拒绝继续照顾孩子”访谈中未提及。A.Negative.B
38、.Positive.C.Ambiguous.D.Neutral.解析：解析：本题要求推断McKay教授对于子女与父母分开居住的看法。McKay教授的原话是I think that its an excellent arrangement“我认为这是绝佳的安排”，由此可确定正确答案为B(positive)。A.During the childhood.B.In the middle age.C.At the old stage.D.Throughout life.解析：解析：本题考查人们的心智能力什么时候开始受年龄影响。采访者问人们的心智能力是不是会受老年影响，McKay教授说人们在成长中心智能
39、力会发生变化，但这种变化是终生的，故选D。A.The group of old people did best in English classes.B.The old group did not perform as well as the young group.C.The young group did not perform as well as the old group.D.The group of old people did best in mathematics.解析：解析：本题考查McKay教授那些有趣的实验有什么发现。McKay教授提到了几点发现，其中包括一组老年人在英语
40、学习方面做得最好(did best in the English classes)及老年组和年轻组学习相同的内容最终表现相当(perform as well)。A为其中一个发现，故为答案。B“老年组表现不如年轻组”、C“年轻组表现不如老年组”和D“一组老年人在数学学习方面做得最好”均与录音内容相反。A.Old-age sickness.B.Loose family ties.C.Poor mental abilities.D.Difficulties in maths.解析：解析：本题考查McKay教授无法做出解释的内容。McKay教授说“似乎毫无疑问地，人们上了年纪后会觉碍数学更难了，关于这一点我还不能说清为什么。”因此正确答案为D。
