3、s solutions for clients both large and small. Established to fill a significant market gap for simple communication solutions, the company first expanded to most major North American cities before becoming a major multinational player. 语义的理解和判断。 根据原文“Globalcall Communications has grown from a teleco
4、mmunications solutions provider for local businesses in the greater Seattle metropolitan area to a truly global corporation”可判断该句中的has grown from.to.句型实际上点明了该公司由起家到发迹的历史，该公司一开始是为西雅图大商圈中的企业服务，而后成长为国际性公司。因此，该题的说法是正确的。 解题关键 同义词替换。原文中has grown from与题干中began意思相同，使听者可由此抓住听的重心。第2题：参考答案：A答案解析：听力原文 The 350,0
5、00-square meter, granite-floored and glass-walled terminal can accommodate 25 million passengers a year and the airport, which has two runways, can handle 1.2 million tons of air freight, the worlds third-highest cargo capacity. 数字信息的找寻。 根据题干中的数字信息，与原文相关处作对照，发现细节均相符，因此该题的说法是正确的。 解题关键 1) 根据题干特点抓住原文数字
6、信息重点听；2) 同义词替换，在相关信息处，原文中数字修饰的中心词“freight”与题干中使用的“cargo”意思相当，均指“货物”。第3题：参考答案：B答案解析：听力原文U.S. scientists discovered that the soft orange glow of a common Caribbean coral comes not from the coral itself but from bacteria that live inside it. And the bacteria not only give the coral a little nightlight,
7、 but they also break down seawater to help nourish the coral. 事实细节的找寻和判断。 根据题干，需要与原文核对的细节有两处：1) 某种细菌是否发出橘黄色的光；2) 该细菌是否阻止海水向珊瑚提供养分。根据原文“the soft orange glow. but from bacteria that live inside it”可知，题干中第一处细节与原文相符；根据原文“the bacteria.break down seawater to help nourish the coral”即“该细菌还可分解海水，使其更有助于为珊瑚提供养
8、分”，由此可见，第二处细节与原文说法不符，因此该题的说法是错误的。 解题关键 掌握反义词的识别，有助于迅速解题。原文中的help与题干中的 prevent.from是反义词。第4题：参考答案：B答案解析：听力原文 Now, text messaging is increasingly being used by UK hospitals to remind patients about outpatient appointmentsand could potentially save the National Health Service millions of pounds every ye
9、ar. Ealing Hospital in West London sends 20 texts per day, reminding the patients in advance of the date and time of their appointment. Before using the text messaging system, the hospital relied solely on sending patients a letter as a reminder. 事实细节的找寻和判断。 将题干中关键词与原文对照，发现没有short messages或其相近的表达。原文
10、出现的核心词是text messaging。由此可见，题干的说法是错误的。 解题关键 排除干扰信息的影响。题干中message与原文中频频出现的messaging，在形式上非常相近，听者会因其相近而忽略其附加内容，造成判断的失误。第5题：参考答案：A答案解析：听力原文 Theres no doubt that athletes are playing hard enough to suppress immune defenses. The normal population in Australia expects to get between three and four upper res
11、piratory infections each year. But if you look at groups of elite athletes, about 15 percent of those athletes can have six or seven or more, even up to 11 or 12. They seem to get more vulnerable as they train harder. 比较结构的表达和判断。 原文中关于得呼吸道感染的比较表达有两处：1) The normal population.get between three and fou
12、r.而运动员，尤其是优秀运动员却“have six or seven or more, even up to 11 or 12”，由此可见，优秀运动员的得病机率更高；2) They seem to get more vulnerable as they train harder即“这些运动员们训练得越刻苦，身体越脆弱”。从这两处都可推测出题干的说法是错误的。 解题关键 1) 熟悉比较结构的表达法。表示比较的手段很多，可以通过固定结构，也可通过统计数字作对比：2) 掌握信号词，判断上下文逻辑关系，有助于迅速解题，如原文在说明普通人群得呼吸道感染的机率后使用了单词 but，表明后面的对象的事实肯定
13、与前面不一样，从该词的使用，也可猜测出优秀运动员得病的机率更高。第6题：参考答案：B答案解析：听力原文The modern Olympic Games began in Athens in 1896 as a result of the initiative of Baron Pierre de Coubertin, a French educator whose desire was to promote international understanding through athletics. Nine nations participated in the first Games; o
14、ver 100 nations currently compete. 特定信息的找寻和判断。 现代奥运会始于1896年，由法国教育家Baron Pierre de Coubertin 倡导进行，其宗旨是 to promote international understanding through athletics，即通过运动员促进各国间的理解交流。由此可见，题干中认为举行奥运会的目的是as an international competition“作为国际竞争”的说法与原文不符，因此是错误的。 解题关键 在围绕中心话题的纷繁信息中把握重要人物的主要观点和主张。根据信号词desire找到重要人
15、物Baron Pierre de Coubertin的主张是解题的关键。第7题：参考答案：B答案解析：听力原文 The Clinton administration has signaled its opposition to a 1985 law that bans most US aid to Pakistan because of its nuclear program. A US State Department spokesman said the law does not advance the US goal of stopping the spread of nuclear w
16、eapons in South Asia. 语义理解判断。 题干中提出了克林顿政府关于禁止向巴基斯坦提供援助的命令，原文认为该禁令does not advance the US goal of stopping the spread of nuclear weapons in South Asia，即没能推进美国制止南亚核武器传播的目标，由does not advance可判断题干中successfully stopped 的说法与原文不符，因此题干的说法是错误的。 解题关键 能够正确找到指示代词所指对象是解题关键。原文该发言人所提的没能推进美国制止南亚核武器传播的目标的法律，就是指禁止向巴基
17、斯坦提供援助的命令。第8题：参考答案：B答案解析：听力原文Inflation stems from the instability of capitalist economic systems. That this instability no longer creates cumulative depressions is due to the intervention of the government sector. Increased institutional rigidity also limits downward price adjustment. 因果关系的找寻和判断。 题干
18、认为政府部门干涉资本主义经济制度时，通货膨胀便会发生。而原文认为Inflation stems from the instability of capitalist economic systems，即通货膨胀源于资本主义经济制度的不稳定性。由此可见，题干的说法与原文不符，是错误的。 解题关键 1)掌握表示因果关系的信号词，可以帮助听者作出正确的判断。题干中 occur表明该题重点在于找寻和判断inflation的原因，由此可使听者将重点放在找寻原文关于inflation的原因上；2)同义词替换。本题需掌握stem from与题干中的occur同义，均是表示因果关系的信号词。第9题：参考答案：
19、B答案解析：听力原文 Our discussion of earthquakes would be incomplete if we didnt raise the possibility of their being caused by external forces. As you know there are increases and decreases in episodes of seismic activity, but there is no regular or predictable pattern. 特定信息的找寻和理解。 本题要求理解seismic activity(地
20、震活动)。根据相关原文可知As you know there are increases and decreases in episodes of seismic activity，but there is no regular or predictable pattern，即地震活动周期有起有伏，没有规律可言，也无法预测其态势。而题干认为地震活动周期越来越复杂，可能会引起地球的颤动，显然与原文不符，因此是错误的。 解题关键 识别听力材料中的关键信息，并对其上下文充分理解，是解答本题的关键。如本题中的关键信息是seismic activity，如果对有关该词部分的内容充分理解，便能作出正确的判
21、断。第10题：参考答案：B答案解析：听力原文 It is already known that incorrect usage of combination lap and shoulder seat belts can lead to injuries of the spine, neck and pelvis. Now, evidence from three case reports suggests that individuals who ride in a reclined position while wearing these safety belts may place th
22、emselves at additional risk of injury. 语义理解题。 关于安全带、坐姿和驾车安全的关系，根据原文evidence from three case reports suggests that individuals who ride in a reclined potation whilewearing these safety belts may place themselves at additional risk of injury可知，三起事故的报道表明身系安全带，但斜倚在座位里开车的驾驶员受伤的可能性更大。由此可推测，如果系上安全带，再保持笔直坐姿
23、，驾驶的安全性应有所提高。因此题干说系安全带并保持笔直坐姿，会使驶员受伤的可能性更大，与原文不符，是错误的。 解题关键 理解关键单词和短语的含义是解题的关键。本题原文中recline意思是“斜倚着的”，与题于中sit upright 意思相反；at additional risk of injury意思为“受伤可能性加大”，与题干中less protection相呼应。Part Listen to the following short passages and then choose one of the answers that best fits the meaning of each
24、passage by blackening the corresponding circle. There are ten passages in this part of the test, with one question each, which carries two points.第11题：参考答案：C答案解析：听力原文 As Chinas vast interior gets richer, Grenda Lee, Coco-Colas Shanghai-based director of external affairs, finds herself dreaming about
25、 tapping the countrys rural market. Chinese peasants account for roughly 70 percent of Chinas 1.3 billion people, but on average each drinks only three Coke products a year. That compares with some 60 drinks consumed annually in Shanghai and Beijing, 150 in Hong Kong and 420 in the United States. Wi
26、th so many customers at stake, potential profits take on epic scale. 数字信息的找寻和判断。 题干要求将原文中提到的国家地区按可口可乐的消费量进行排序。原文中提到人均一年可口可乐的消费量时给予了明确的数字信息，即中国农村为每人3罐，上海和北京为每人约60罐，香港是150罐，而美国是420罐。由此可见，选项c的说法符合原文，是正确答案。 解题关键 迅速对数字信息作出反应和判断是解题的关键。第12题：参考答案：C答案解析：听力原文 With fractional ownership the participants actuall
27、y own a percentage of a jet plane, super-yacht, Old Master painting or a second home, not just the right to use it for a specified amount of time. They enjoy all the benefits of ownership without paying an astronomical price for something they use only occasionally. And, they are able to afford a bi
28、gger, better yacht, helicopter or home than they could have bought outright. 语义判断推理。 从原文第一句给fractional ownership的定义可知，这种所有权是指对某些昂贵物品享有部分所有权，而不是指“the right to use it for a specified amount of time”即在某一特定时间内使用该物品的权利。由此可知，选项c将部分所有权等同于时间共享的概念是错误的。因此，选项c是正确答案。 解题关键 定义一般由被定义对象所属的类别及主要特征构成，听时要对这几部分内容多加留意，并
29、可做适当的笔记。本题考查被定义对象的主要特征。第13题：参考答案：A答案解析：听力原文 The evolution of technology is showing no signs of maturing whatsoever. If you look at nanomaterials or photonics, carbon nanotubes, all the things that are going on in new types of energy, environmentally better materialstheres no shortage of new technolo
30、gy coming. It is nowhere near maturity. Certainly, theres consolidation among business models and competitors, but it doesnt have the telltale signs of a mature industry where theres no innovation. 主旨题。 题干要求找出本段关于技术发展的要点内容。根据原文可知技术的发展已不再展示出什么成熟的迹象。在没有出现太大变革的情况下，纳米材料、光子学等对环境有利的新能源材料出现了，新技术的出现不一定非与成熟的
31、工业相伴出现。由此可见，只有选项a的内容与原文相符，因此，该项是正确答案。 解题关键 综合理解语句内容是解题的关键。第14题：参考答案：C答案解析：听力原文 Parkinsons disease can cause a weird variety of different symptoms in different people. The two most common are uncontrollable shaking on the one hand, or rigidity on the other. Balance problems are also frequent. The str
32、anger symptoms can include difficulty going through doorways and deciding what to eat for dinner. 事实细节的找寻和判断。 原文第一句谈到“Parkinsons disease can cause a weird variety of different symptoms in different people.”即“帕金森症(震颤性麻痹症)在不同的人身上会表现出各种不同的症状。”由此可见，选项c的说法与原文相符，因此，该项是正确答案。 解题关键 掌握词性变化带来的句子结构的改变，如原文中使用var
33、iety，题干中使用了vary。第15题：参考答案：B答案解析：听力原文 The global steel industry is in a mess. Overcapacity and weak demand have hurt producers. In 2002, 847 million tons of steel was produced, but consumption was only 765 million tons. Steel makers have responded by consolidating. Last year in Europe, for example, A
34、rcelor, the worlds biggest producer, was formed from a three-way merger of Spains Aceralia, Frances Usinor and Arbed, a Luxemburg-based company. 语义的推理判断。 根据原文“Overcapacity and weak demand have hurt producers.”即“过度的生产能力和疲软的需求使牛产者受挫”及“In 2002, 847 million tons of steel was produced, but consumption wa
35、s only 765 million tons.”由此可见，从前一句的说明和后一句中的数字对比可推断出世界钢铁消费锐减。因此，选项 b的说法是正确的。 解题关键 将文中有关信息归类并做出判断有助于正确解题。如将原文 weak demand, only 765 million tons归类可发现它们与选项中drastic cut同类。第16题：参考答案：D答案解析：听力原文 Mr. Wen said government would aim for a growth rate of 7 percent this year, considerably slower than the 9.1 per
36、cent pace recorded for 2003. He said the government would re duce the issuance of state bonds intended to finance construction by about $3.6 billion, or 25 percent, and would also restrain lending and investment that has led to redundant construction in some industries and regions. 特定信息的找寻和判断。 本题要求识
37、别并判断Mr. Wen所说的政府工作目标的各细节信息。根据题干中的关键词，找寻原段落中相关部分将a与第一句对照；b与第二句 would also restrain lending and investment对照；c和d与第二句government would reduce the issuance of state bonds intended to finance construction by about $3.6 billion, or 25 percent对照，可发现只有d的说法与原文相符，因此，选项d是正确的。 解题关键 掌握同义词或近义词的替换。如原文中slower与选项a中lo
38、wer替换；原文中restrain与选项c中cut替换；原文中reduce和选项d中less替换。第17题：参考答案：A答案解析：听力原文 In New York City, people complained for years about having to recycle their trash. Then they complained when Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg canceled most recycling to save the city money. And they positively howled in confusion when h
39、e restored some recycling but cut collections to every other week. 隐含事实的判断。 从原文中纽约人对回收垃圾的态度可知，他们对回收垃圾持抱怨的态度；对市长取消大部分回收项目持抱怨态度；对他恢复对某些垃圾的回收且回收次数改为隔周一次的态度有褒有贬众说纷纭。由此可推测出无论怎么做，都不可能使所有纽约人满意。因此，选项a的说法是正确的。 解题关键 掌握某些表态度的关键词有助于得出正确答案，如根据原文 complained和howled in confusion推断出正确答案。第18题：参考答案：A答案解析：听力原文 Globaliz
40、ation and the liberalization that produced it have generated a sustained period of economic expansion, together with the most rapid reconfiguration of international economic geography ever. Unprecedented wealth and standards of living exist in the industrialized world. Elsewhere, some countries that
41、 struggled with poverty a mere generation ago are now economic poles in their own right. Over the course of the next generation, a majority of the worlds most rapidly growing economies will be located in what is now the developing world. 事实细节的找寻。 根据题干中的关键词与原段落中的各项事实细节相对照，发现只有a中 the gap between the d
42、eveloped and the developing countries在原文中没有提到。因此，只有选项a的内容不是globalization and liberalization所带来的结果。 解题关键 掌握选项中相关信息在原文中的正确定位。第19题：参考答案：B答案解析：听力原文 Since the wedding march for gays and lesbians began in San Francisco three weeks ago, officials in California, New Mexico and Oregon have allowed same-sex m
43、arriages, Massachusetts has signaled its approval. President Bush has called for a constitutional amendment to ban gay marriage. Lawmakers conservative, and gay-rights groups have all joined a debate that has roiled the nation. 对信息的推断。 原文中提到California, New Mexico和Oregon允许同性婚姻，而“Massachusetts has sig
44、naled its approval”，即“Massachusetts发出同意的信号”，由此可推测，虽然Massachusetts不反对同性婚姻，但还没在法律上正式承认。因此，选项b的说法是正确的。 解题关键 掌握主要短语的深层含义，如signaled its approval表示对某事并不反对，但尚未公开承认的状况。第20题：参考答案：D答案解析：听力原文 The theory once advanced in the nineteenth centurythat the productivity of the land can be infinitely increased by the
45、application of capital, labor, and scienceis wrong. History has shown that once the natural life-support systems of a civilization have been sufficiently damaged, they cannot usually be repaired.

Within trading stocks, you make money by figuring out whether other traders will keep buying or start selling the stock and positioning yourself accordingly for a few weeks or even days.
