3、ou look wonderful posing like that. Shall I press the shutter? M:Wait a minute. Let me put on the cowboy hat. Q:What are the speakers doing?【谜团破解】选B。posing和shutter（快门）这两个词是本题的关键词，只有拍照时可能用到。虽然对话中提到saddle，但不过是所摆pose的一个细节，所以A不能选；C可由press the shutter 排除；D过于牵强。第2题：参考答案：A答案解析：M:Im still waiting for my sis
4、ter to come back and type the application letter for me. W:Why bother her? Ill show you how to use the computer. Its quite easy. Q:What does the women mean?【谜团破解】选A。Why bother her?可能会造成女士要帮男士打信的印象，但再听一句（show you how to use the computer）就知道实际上女士是打算教男士如何用电脑，排除D；选项B纯属臆断；C也无从谈起。第3题：参考答案：C答案解析：M:Hey, whe
5、re did you find the journal? I need it too. W:Right here on the shelf. Dont worry, John. Ill take it out on my card for both of us. Q:What does the woman mean?【谜团破解】选C。 Ill take it out on my card for both of us是选择答案的依据，从中可知女士将用自己的借书证借书，然后由两人分享，选项C是此信息的同义转述。选项A与对话内容不符；C、D对话未提及。第4题：参考答案：B答案解析：M:Thank
6、you for your helpful assistance. Otherwise, Id surely have missed it. The place is so Out of the way. W:It was a pleasure meeting you. Goodbye! Q:Why did the man thank the woman?【谜团破解】选B。The place is so out of the way是选出正确答案的关键，从这句话可以推断出女士是因为给男士引路而受到感谢。从女士的回答中也可看出两人是初次相识，所以C不可选。D显然也不合情理，因为忙已经帮过了。第5题
7、：参考答案：C答案解析：W:We are informed that the 11:30 train is late again. M:Why did the railway company even bother to print the schedule? Q:What do we learn from the conversation?【谜团破解】选C。男士的回答具有讽刺意味，他真正要表达的意思是“既然总是不准时，铁路公司何必费劲去印时刻表呢？” A不合情理；B与事实相反，实际上是火车晚点；D有一定干扰作用，但如果能听懂男士的答话，则可排除。实际上，从男士的口气中也可猜出他对铁路公司的不
8、满。第6题：参考答案：A答案解析：M:Maybe I ought to subscribe to the Engineering Quarterly. It contains a lot of useful information. W:Why not read it in the library and save the money? Q:What is the womans advice to the man?【谜团破解】选A。从女士的回答中可以清楚地知道她建议男士到图书馆去读这份杂志，所以当然是让男士不要订了。由此也可排除选项B。C、D都与对话内容无关。第7题：参考答案：D答案解析：M:
9、Ive been waiting all week for this concert. The performance is said to be excellent. And with our student discount, the tickets will be real cheap. W:Ah-ah, Im afraid I left my student ID card in the dorm. Q:What does the woman imply?【谜团破解】选D。男士提到with our student discount，the tickets will be real ch
10、eap,女士接着就说Im afraid I left my student ID card in the dorm，显然如果没有带ID卡，买票时就不能打折，女士正是因此而遗憾。由此可排除选项A；B时间不对，看演出是未发生的事；C对话中未提及。第8题：参考答案：B答案解析：M:Mr. Smith, our history professor, announced that well be doing two papers and three exams this semester. I wonder how Im going to pull throughwhen two other cours
11、es have similar requirements. W:Well, cant you drop one course and pick it up next semester? Q:What does the woman suggest the man do?【谜团破解】选B。女士的回答cant you drop one course and pick it up next semester点明她认为男士最好放弃一门，留到下学期再修，而没有说让他选负担轻的课程，也没有说到学期末再做作业，更没有特别指出要男士放弃哪一门课程，所以B、C、D三项均排除。第9题：参考答案：D答案解析：W:Re
12、nting a conference room at the hotel will cost us too much. We are already running in the red. M:How about using our dining room for the meeting? Q:Whats worrying the woman?【谜团被解】选D。cost us too much和running in a red是解答本题的关键，由此可知女士真正担心的是租用会议室的费用间题。A、B、C都不符事实。第10题：参考答案：C答案解析：W:Jerry , can you pick me
13、up after work today? I left my car at the garage. M:Im afraid I cant. I have scheduled an appointment with a client at dinner time. Q:What is the man going to do?【谜团破解】选C。从男士的回答I have scheduled an appointment with aclient at dinner time可知他要在晚饭时候会见客户，所以选项C正确。文中虽然出现了car ,dinner这两个词，但A、B两项都与事实不符；D更是与对话
14、无关。Section B Directions: In this section, you will hear 3 short passages. At the end of each passage, you will hear some questions. Both the passage and the questions will be spoken only once. After you hear a question, you must choose the best answer from the four choices marked A、B、Cand D. Then ma
15、rk the corresponding letter on the answer sheet with a single line through the centre.听力原文 A few months ago, millions of people in London heard alarms all over the town. Emergency services, the fire department, the police, hospitals, and ambulances stood by, ready to go into action. In railway and u
16、nderground stations, people read notices and maps which told them where to go and what to do in emergency. This was Exercise Floodcall, to prepare people for a flood emergency. London wasnt flooded yet, but it is possible that it would be. In 1236 and 1663, London was badly flooded. In 1928, people
17、living in Westminster, the heart of London, drowned in floods, and in 1953, one hundred people living on the eastern edge of the London suburbs were killed again in the floods. At last, Greater London Council took action to prevent this disaster from happening again. Though a floodwall was built in
18、the 1980s, Londoners still must be prepared for the possible disaster. If it happens, fifty underground stations will be under water. Electricity, gas and phone services will be out of action. Roads will be drowned. It will be impossible to cross any of the bridges between North and South London. Im
19、agine, London will look like the famous Italian city Venice, but this Exercise Floodcall didnt cause panic among Londoners. Most people knew it was just a warning. One lady said, Its a flood warning, isnt it? The water doesnt look high to me. 第11题：参考答案：B答案解析：What happened in London a few months ago?
20、【谜团破解】选B。文章开头的描述制造出了一个紧张的悬念，但是This was Exercise Floodcall，to prepare people for a flood emergence这句话表明这不过是一次预防洪水的演习。A可从London wasnt flooded, yet得以否定；C是1953年发生的事；D是有可能发生的事，但还没有成为事实。第12题：参考答案：A答案解析：What measure was taken against floods in London in the1980s?【谜团破解】选A。可从Though a flood wall was built in
21、the 1980s这句话找到答案。第13题：参考答案：A答案解析：What can we learn from the ladys comment?【谜团破解】选A。从女士说话的口气和内容都可推断出伦敦人对这次演习的态度是比较平和的。另外this Exercise Floodcall didnt cause panic among Londoners也是一个暗示。听力原文 Americas national symbol, the bald eagle, almost went extinct twenty years ago, but it is made to come back. In
22、fact, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service is considering the possibility of taking it off the endangered species list. Once, more than 50,000 pairs of bald eagles nested across the country, but by 1960, that number had fallen below 400. The chief killer was the widely used DDT. Fish soaked up DDT, di
23、ed and were washed up on shores where bald eagles feasted on them. DDT prevented eagle eggshells from thickening. The shells became so thin that they shattered before the baby was hatched. Fortunately, in 1972, a law was passed to ban DDT, which saved the bald eagle from total wipeout. And since the
24、n, wildlife biologists have reintroduced bald eagles from Canada to America. The result was that last year U.S. birdwatchers counted 11,610 bald eagles in the country. If it were dropped from the endangered list, the bald eagle would still be a threatened species. That means the bird would continue
25、to get the same protection-no hunting allowed and no disturbing of nests. But bald eagles still face tough times. The destruction of their natural homes could be the next DDT, causing eagle numbers to drop quickly. 第14题：参考答案：D答案解析：What was the main harmful effect of the pest-killer DDT on bald eagle
26、s?【谜团破解】选D。本题问的是DDT对秃鹰的害处，从DDT prevented eagle eggshells from thickening. The shells became so thin that they shattered before the babies hatched这里可以得出正确答案。B选项是个强干扰项，但是由they shattered before the babies hatched可以推出幼鹰还未出世蛋壳就破了，由此可排除B。第15题：参考答案：A答案解析：What measure did the wildlife biologists take to inc
27、rease【谜团破解】选A。wildlife biologists have reintroduced bald eagles from Canada to America明确指出生物学家采取的措施就是从加拿大引进秃鹰的办法。其他三项均与事实不符。第16题：参考答案：C答案解析：According to the speaker, what is the possible danger【谜团破解】选C。文章的最后一句点出The destruction of their natural homes could be the next DDT,由此即可推知对秃鹰生活环境的破坏很可能会导致其数量再次减
28、少。听力原文 If the earth gets hotter in the new century, what will happen to animals and the plants which animals depend on for survival? The question offers another way of looking at the greenhouse effect. People have talked about the general problem of global warming for some time, but they were usuall
29、y worried about things like whether to buy a home on the coast. Biologists and other scientists turn their attention to plants and animals at an important meeting that took place last October. They reveal evidence that plants and animals are sensitive to climate. Since the ice age ended 10,000 years
30、 ago and warmer temperatures returned to the northern latitudes, many species have migrated north. If the predictions about the greenhouse are correct, temperatures will rise by the same amount in the next 100 years, as they did in the past 10,000. Will animals and plants be able to adapt that quick
31、ly to change in the environment? Many wont. Certain species will probably become very rare. Experts say plants under climate stress will be very open to disease and fire. Forest fires may become more common. That in turn may harm animals that depend on the trees for food or shelter. Any preserves we
32、 set up to protect endangered species may become useless, as the species are forced to migrate along with their natural homes. Change is part of life, but rapid change, says Scientist George Woodwall, is the enemy of life. 第17题：参考答案：D答案解析：What is the concern of ordinary people about the greenhouse e
33、ffect?【谜团破解】选D。温室效应的影响会不会使全球变暖的趋势加快、会不会导致大面积的食物短缺都超出了普通人所关心的范畴，所以A、B不可选；选项C与文章无关；只有选项D可从they were usually worried about things like whether to buy a home on the coast找到依据，证明普通人关心的还是温室效应会不会影响到自己的生活。第18题：参考答案：D答案解析：What has happened since the end of Ice age?【谜团破解】选D。从many species have migrated north可以
34、得出答案。选项A属过度推断，动物们虽然向北迁移了，但并不代表就养成了这一习性；至于选项B，说话人已经用Many wont 断然否定；选项C在文中未提及。第19题：参考答案：B答案解析：What will be a possible threat to plants in the future?【谜团破解】选B。这是一道事实细节题，只要听到plants under climate stress will be very open to disease and fire，即可得出答案。第20题：参考答案：D答案解析：According to the passage，what will probab
35、ly happen to【谜团破解】选D。本题最好应用排除法。选项A中的artificial reproduction文中并未提及，故排除；选项B是已经发生和正在发生的事；C可通过Any preserves we set up to protect the endangered species may become useless进行排除；只有选项D是 endangered species 可能面临的结果。Part II Reading Comprehension Directions: There are 4 passages in this part. Each passage is fo
36、llowed by some questions or un- finished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A、B、C and D. You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the centre.第21题：参考答案：C答案解析：【精析】选C。可从文第一段找到答案依据。原文说Students must be in
37、corporated，made, so far as possiblean integral part of the learning process,然后又说learning should have in it an element of inspired play,把这两部分结合起来就是选项C的观点。选项A属过度推断，成功的教师应该让教学变得有趣，但不见得要将其变得像玩一样简单；选项B意为“提高学生的学习成绩”，不是作者关注的问题；选项D说“让戏剧化成为学生学习的重要方面”，这显然从常理也可推断出是错误的。第22题：参考答案：D答案解析：【精析】选D。文章第三段是答对本题的关键。大多数教授
38、之所以喜欢传统的授课方式是因为他们认为to show enthusiasm is to risk appearing unscientific, unobjective 也就是说，他们认为传统的授课方式是不科学和不客观的。选项A、C不是传统授课方式能够达到的效果，依据常识也可排除；B中的the Creator指“上帝”，可由第二段中lecturing is an unnatural act，an act for which God did not design humans. I do not believe that this is what the Creator. designed hu
39、mans to do排除。第23题：参考答案：A答案解析：【精析】选A。这其实是一道主旨题。本文一开始就说enactment, performance, dramatization are the most successful forms of teaching,而enactment, performance, dramatization都属于师生互动的手段，然后又说学生们应该是教学过程中不可缺少的一分子，因此作者推崇的是教学过程当中的师生互动。选项B属过度推断，本文只对教学形式提出了自己的见解，并未说要对大学教育进行根本性的改进；C不是文章所关心的话题；选项D是个强干扰项，但文章中只是说戏
40、剧化的表演是教学过程中的一个必要成分，并未说要用它来取代传统的授课。第24题：参考答案：C答案解析：精析选C。本题有相当的难度。uneven in their merits but uniform in their bearing较难理解，但从其后对大学教师的描述可以推断出本题答案。文章说they never referred to anything personal. The teachers began on time ended on time，and.，从这些话中，我们可以想象出大学教师形同教士统一的衣着，一样的单一授课方式。选项A对their的指代未辨清；B、D选项则过于形式化和简单
41、化，而且文中并未提及教师的衣着。第25题：参考答案：D答案解析：精析选D。是一道细节题。从文中第一段his onetime student Cotton Mather wrote that he so planned his lessons that his pupils“came to work as though they came to play”可找到依据，句中的he指代的就是Ezekiel Cheever.第26题：参考答案：A答案解析：【精析】选A。细节题。原文第一段一开始就说道A new high-performance contact tens. will not only c
42、orrect ordinary vision defects but will enhance normal night vision.。选项C中the night blind指“夜盲症患者”，文章只说这种隐形眼镜可以提高人的夜视能力，并没有说是专为夜盲症患者制做的；从最后一段Billes lenses are expected to reach the market in the year 2000,可以看出实验不是目的，排除D。第27题：参考答案：B答案解析：【精析】选B。细节题。本题的答案应从上一句中找，句中提到了aluminum mirror和wave-front sensor的作用。
43、另外本题也可用排除法解答。从第二段第一句a device used in astronomical telescopes看出可以看出选项A中的astronomical telescope只不过是作者在解释active mirror时提到的；选项C中的laser beam指“激光”，不是仪器；选项D中的contact lens当然也不是，所以这三项都可排除。B选项中的aluminum mirror就是active mirror。第28题：参考答案：C答案解析：【精析】选C。individualized contact lenses所在的句子告诉我们用aluminum mirror和wave-fr
44、ont sensor测出的数据高度精确，这意味着依靠这些数据制作的隐形眼镜将会与配戴者的需求高度吻合，这也就是individualized contact lenses的意义所在。A、B、D三项与这种隐形眼镜所要承担的功能不符。第29题：参考答案：A答案解析：【精析】选A。文章第三段对这种隐形眼镜的特殊功效进行了解释。尤其是这二句At night, the lenses have an even greater potential.是解答本题的关键。选项A是这句话的同义语。B与事实相反；C在文中没有提到；选项D的错误在于作者只是对这种眼镜在白天和晚上各自提高视力的程度作了一番比较，并没有说戴上
45、这种眼镜，晚上比白天看得还要清楚。第30题：参考答案：A答案解析：【精析】选A。文中说about the same as conventional one-day disposable lenses,其价格只相当于日抛隐形眼镜(1美元)，由此可确定选项A正确。produce and mail the contact lenses within a couple of days说明生产过程不会太复杂，可排除B；最后一段说one tentative plan is to use the Internet to transmit information on patients visual defe
46、cts from the optician to the manufacturer，这里是说通过网络来传送患者信息，而不是网上订购，可排除C。D是oneday disposable lenses的特点，并非本文所指的隐形眼镜。第31题：参考答案：A答案解析：【精析】选A。本文第一、二段说正像在过去的英国乡村人们不锁门一样，现在很多网站也“不锁门”，这里其实是在说这些网站没有对自己作很好的保护防止黑客人侵，选项A正是此意。选项B与网络无关；C不符合网络上黑客存在的事实，而且过于绝对，一看就应排除；选项D不是本句所关注的问题。第32题：参考答案：D答案解析：【精析】选D。第二段说an automa
47、ted investigative program of his own called SATAN,第三段又说SATAN can try out a variety of well-known hacking tricks,所以SATAN是一个可以检测网站安全程度的程序。其他三项都不是它的功能。第33题：参考答案：B答案解析：精析选B。由第二段最后一句话A person with evil intent could use it to hunt down sites that are easy to burgle可得出正确答案。Farmer的程序本来是检测网站是否安全的，但若被坏人利用，就可能
48、会给一些网站制造麻烦，这是SATAN遭到批评的原因。A过于绝对；C的意思是“给上网的人造成损失”，文中没有提及；D与原文without actually breaking in相反。第34题：参考答案：C答案解析：【精析】选C。第四段对本题有明显的暗示。文中说so far, events have proved him right. SATAN has done more to alert people to the risks than cause new disorder,可见作者对SATAN是持肯定态度的。第35题：参考答案：A答案解析：【精析】选A。作者在上一段说到尽管很多网站没有“上锁”，但Internet还是一个crime-free society,这可能是因为黑客们从本质上来说还不坏，或者说网络上没有什么值得偷的东西，再或者，如果不是特别痛恨一个人，恶意的破坏也没什么意思。因此，在最后一段，作者说lets enjoy it w
