15、NS(总题数:6,分数:60.00)1.PART I LISTENING COMPREHENSION(分数:10.00)_解析:2.SECTION B INTERVIEWIn this section you will hear ONE interview. The interview will be divided into TWO parts.

17、ooks written by Hinton.C.He had difficulties in reading.D.He determined to be a writer.解析:解析:访谈一开始,作家就说他小时候很不喜欢看书,后来发现他有阅读障碍。直到七年级,他才开始阅读Hinton的作品。题目问七年级之前的情况,C是I was suffering from a reading comprehension disability的同义表达。A.Lack of interest in reading.B.The purpose for improving reading ability.C.Th
18、e influence of Hintons books.D.His English teachers encouragement.解析:解析:作家刚开始时很不喜欢阅读,阅读理解能力较差。而这一现象在他的英语老师要求学生阅读Hinton的四本书后发生了改变。由关键词句catapulted into another world、amazed、thought about、could not wait和wanted to be a writer等可知,Hinton的书激起了作家的阅读兴趣,也促使他萌生了成为作家的愿望,因此答案为C。A项“缺乏阅读兴趣”是在接触Hinton的书之前的情况,不是激起他想
19、成为作家的原因;B、D项文中并没有提及。A.From black and white pictures.B.No specific answer.C.From a twist but happy ending.D.From the rejection letters.解析:解析:当访谈人问作家怎么找到灵感时,作家回答说,很难用单一的言语概括,有时候角色就出现在心中,有时候是剧情或结局,很多时候就是开始写,看看剧情怎么发展等等。可见,灵感来源是没有特定答案的,故选B项。A.Because it is hard for a writer to find a prospective editor.B
20、.Because a writer may receive numerous rejections of his works.C.Because the rejection letters can be used to wallpaper the house.D.Because being a writer has something to do with luck and timing.解析:解析:当被问及是否收到很多作品的拒绝信函时,作家说足以用作整间房子的墙纸。接着便解释说,作家的脸皮要厚。由此可见,脸皮厚是因为作品会不断遭到拒绝,故答案为B。作家提到找一位感兴趣的编辑需要luckand
21、 timing,其侧重点是显示其艰巨性,并不是作家脸皮要厚的原因,A不正确;C项只是作家对拒绝信函的数量所作的比喻;D项偷换了原文的概念。A.They are Form Rejection and Negative Rejection.B.Theres a signature or a rubber-stamp signature in a Form Rejection.C.A Form Rejection is depressing while a Positive Rejection is inspiring.D.A Form Rejection refers to a letter of
22、 which the editor wont read any word.解析:解析:录音提到有两种不同的拒绝方式,分别是Form Letter和Positive Rejection。Form Letter通常是没有署名或加盖署名,通常让人觉得有些沮丧。而Positive Rejection还是会让人觉得受鼓舞,因为它会有Close,try us with your next story idea等回复文字。可见C的表述是正确的。D项有一定的干扰性,由文中的wonder if可知,编辑没有读信件只是作家的猜测,事实是否真是这样并没有提及,故D项的表述太绝对化了。A.He works full
23、time for a community newspaper.B.He has sufficient time allocation and energy.C.He concerns over the quality of the story and writing.D.He cares about whether his family likes what he writes.解析:解析:录音提到大部分作家都会遇到很多挑战,其中提到,他总是想知道自己的故事是否足够好,自己的作品是否足够好。这与C项的表述相符。作家在社区报纸做兼职,故A不对;他没有充足的时间,B项的sufficient表述错误
24、;录音并未提及作家担心他的家人是否喜欢他的作品,故D项不对。A.Marketing and sales figures.B.Publishing and promoting.C.Time and energy.D.Popularity and creativity.解析:解析:题目询问对Philips来说最大的困扰是什么。对话中,作家很明确地提到,最大的困扰是时间和精力。选C项。A.Because it is a private moment to him.B.Because he wants to take time away from his family.C.Because he suf
25、fers from sleeping disorder.D.Because he can wake his family up in the morning.解析:解析:题目询问为什么作家要在周六日的凌晨三点到九点写作。作家说,九点之后孩子们就睡醒吵闹了(startsto stir),这样做也不会占用陪伴家人的时间。换句话说,这个时间段是作家的私人时间,故选择A项。A.To initiate new topics.B.To support the interview.C.To introduce new policies.D.To explain some statistics.解析:解析:本
26、题询问采访者在访谈中的作用。根据常识,采访者的一个重要作用就是引出话题,引导访谈的进行。因此不难选出A项。A.Being thankful and insistently using the same query letters.B.Being persistent and frequently revising the query letters.C.Being desirous and writing back to the editor for mistakes.D.Appreciating every query letter and finding out the weakness.
27、解析:解析:由关键语句the key is never give up,work and rework your query letters等可得知,Philips建议新手作家要有永不放弃的精神,即坚持到底;并且要不断修订咨询信件,正确答案为B。他不主张长期用同一封咨询信函,故排除A项;C项均偏离了录音原文,文中并未提及;D项只是建议之一,概括不全面。A.Making violin and composing.B.Knocking out some tunes.C.Managing a language school.D.Writing articles for students magazi
28、nes.解析:解析:主持人问Andrew参与了哪些英语教学工作,Andrew回答中谈到他和他的妻子经营着一家语言学校。因此C项的表述是正确的。A.It is out of stock now.B.It is a text book.C.It is published by Mark Powell.D.It is the first book on ELT.解析:解析:当主持人问Andrew最自豪的出版物时,他提到了Kaleidoscope这本书。根据对话中的of the veryfirst topic based text book可以判断,他参与编写了教科书Kaleidoscope的第一个话
29、题。可以得知,Kaleidoscope是一本教科书,选B项。A.Kaleidoscope.B.Games for Language Learning.C.Shakespeare.D.Characters.解析:解析:当被问及最自豪的是哪一本书时,Andrew谈到了Games for Language Learning,由文中信息stillgoing strong after 25 years可知,此书25年来一直很受读者喜爱。故答案为B。A.Because it focuses on teaching English as a second language.B.Because it emph
30、asizes more on trivial stories and drills in language teaching.C.Because it proposes a new vision of learning other things of interest and value.D.Because it combines other subjects in the curriculum such as science and social studies.解析:解析:the work of SCOPE给Andrew所带来的影响是它展示了语言学习不一定基于琐碎的故事和训练(not be
31、 necessarily based on trivial stories and drills),可以从兴趣和价值观入手学习,由关键词句canalso be about learning other things of interest and value便可得出答案是C。A项是the work ofSCOPE的内容,不是其带来的影响;B、D项表述与原文不符。A.Any one but Shakespeare.B.Books written in 19th century.C.Books on survival skills.D.Books about living in big citie
32、s.解析:解析:访谈第一部分的最后主持人问,会带哪三本非英语教学用书到孤岛上?Andrew首先提到会带Shakespeare,此外还会带Henry Mayhew的书,最后带上求生方面的作品。可见C项正确。A.They have no idea why Andrew Wright gets salaries.B.They usually feel good about themselves after class.C.They can spend hours in discussing their courses.D.They have great times of chatting with
33、native speakers.解析:解析:Andrew Wright谈到,很多初学者上完课后会花一小时与英语本土人士交流,走出教室会发现他们明白上课所学的内容,可知B项正确。D项的表述完全是推测,从访谈中没法判断初学者与英语本土人士的聊天是否非常愉快。A.English is the worlds language no matter how societies change.B.The drive to learn is less important than all the fancy materials and methods.C.The demand for English Lang
34、uage Teaching is not as massive as before.D.Andrew is optimistic about ELT in the future as it is influenced by the drive to learn.解析:解析:当主持人问Andrew对ELT的未来是乐观还是悲观时,Andrew说他不明白为什么这样问,因为现在学习的需求非常大(a massive demand),而且他认为学习的动力比很多事情都重要。由此可见,他的态度应该是乐观的,故选D项。A.He somewhat approves of it.B.He has reservati
35、ons about it.C.He has different opinions.D.He has no comment on it.解析:解析:当谈到研究发现都很大程度上影响目标和方法论时,Andrew并没有保留意见(排除B项),而是很明确地表态I dont believe,因此答案为C项。A.There was more emphasis on logic in the 1960s.B.More humanistic approaches are needed.C.Language teaching changes as societies change.D.Changes in the
36、West are not relevant in other societies.解析:解析:录音结尾部分谈到了“语言教学随着社会的变化而发生改变”,随后便详尽列举了例子进行说明,从关键句can you be more specific便可推出,后面的例子都是围绕language teaching changes as societieschange这一主题展开解释的,故答案为C。A.The learners enthusiasm of learning English.B.The relation between societies change and methodologies.C.The importance of values and perceptions.D.The way that logic applied in the 1960s.解析:解析:题目询问采访最后谈论的内容。采访最后Andrew列举的例子是为了说明“语言教学随着社会的变化而发生改变”这一观点。B项“社会变化与(学习)方法的关系”与之相符。
