During the first third of the century, however, transportation on rivers, lakes and canals aided greatly in the growth of the United States. 第1题：参考答案：A答案解析：特定信息的找寻和判断。
6、 根据题干中地名专有名词定位到原文相关信息The Erie Canalconnected the Great Lakes with the upper Hudson River即Erie运河将Great Lakes和Hudson River上游联接起来，而题干说Erie运河和Hudson River汇入Great Lakes，由此可知题干的说法与原文不符，该题的说法是错误的。 解题关键 理解关键词汇含义是解题的关键。原文中connect“联接”与题干中join“加入”，意思不符。第2题：参考答案：B答案解析：特定信息的找寻和判断。 根据原文可知1825年Erie运河的开放使得大湖区的定居者们可
7、将粮食运到东部纽约城，而且该运河also encouraged westward migration along inland waterways and helped populate the frontier即鼓励了人们沿内陆水道向西部移民。由此可见，当时的运输是东西双向进行的。因此题干的说法与原文不符，是错误的。 解题关键 根据题干特点，对有关方向的信息留心倾听是解题的关键。第3题：参考答案：A答案解析：语义理解题。 根据原文Where the natural waterways were inadequate，shallow canals were built可知哪里的天然水路不够，哪
8、里就有浅的运河修建。由此可见题干的说法与原文意思相符，是正确的。 解题关键 掌握语句结构是解题的关键。本题需理解带有where引导的状语从句的复合句的句义。第4题：参考答案：B答案解析：因果关系的找寻和判断。 根据原文It allowed settlers in the Great Lakes region to send their crops eastward to New York City at the mouth of Hudson at a much lower costFrom there，crops could be shipped to other Atlantic port
9、s可知，当时大湖区的定居者们将谷物经水道东运至Hudson河口的纽约城，其运费比其它方式便宜许多。在那里，货物再用船运到大西洋沿岸其它港口。由此可推断，纽约城繁荣的原因应该是因为该地是货物的集散地。而题干说纽约城有比其它大西洋诸港都深的港口在原文中并未提到，因此题干的说法是错误的。 解题关键 正确理解语句含义并作出正确的推断是解题的关键。第5题：参考答案：A答案解析：特定信息的找寻和判断。 根据原文The construction of the Erie Canal also encouraged westward migration along inland waterways and he
10、lped populate the frontier可知Erie运河的开通鼓励了沿内陆水道向西部的移民，帮助了西部边疆的移民定居。由此可见题干的说法与原文相符，是正确的。 解题关键 根据题干关键词正确定位原文相关信息。第6题：参考答案：B答案解析：因果关系的找寻和判断。 根据原文by the mid-1800s，faster and cheaper railroads became more popular and the canal system declinedRailroads could be used year round whereas canals were often froz
11、en in the winter可知到19世纪中期，更为快捷、便宜的铁路运输日益流行，运河水运衰落了。铁路运输可终年使用而冬天结冰使运河无法使用。由此可判断内陆水运系统无法与其它运输形式抗衡的原因在于速度、价格和自然条件的限制，因此题干将耗时列为主要原因，与原文不符，是错误的。 解题关键 能够根据语句内在逻辑关系判断因果关系。第7题：参考答案：A答案解析：推理判断题。 根据原文Politically the waterway system united the nation in a way few had imagined possible，by the mid-1800s，faster a
12、nd cheaper railroads became more popular and the canal system declined可知，从政治角度看水运系统将全国联系起来，这几乎没人能想到。到 19世纪中期，更为快捷、便宜的铁路运输日益流行，运河水运衰落了。由此可推断该句前半部分说明了水运系统的重要性，而后半句则表明其衰落的必然性。因此题干的说法与原文相符，是正确的。 解题关键 能够根据语句意思进行正确推断。第8题：参考答案：B答案解析：特定信息的找寻和判断。 根据原文by the mid-1800s，faster and cheaper railroads became more
13、popular and the canal system declined可知，运河系统的衰落是由于铁路运输的兴起。原文并未提到大西洋各港口的衰败。由此可见题干的说法与原文不符，因此是不正确的。 解题关键 根据题干中关键词decline正确定位原文相关信息，将其与题干比较可得出正确答案。第9题：参考答案：A答案解析：数字信息的找寻和判断。 根据原文in the early 19th century in the United StatesAt that time，inland waterways provided North Americas most popular form of long

25、beautiful conjectures of the Milky Way. For example, in early Christian times, people thought it was a way along which the servants of God went up to heaven. Some imagined it was an opening in the heaven, so that we here on earth could have a glance of the magnificent inside. Knowing the facts about
26、 the Milky Way, as we do today, doesnt take away any of the wonder of it. The facts are just as amazing as any made-up idea! Our galaxy is roughly like a watch, round and flat. If you could get above it and look down on it, it would look like a very large watch. But we are inside the galaxy, and whe
27、n we look up we are looking towards the edge from inside the watch. So we see that edge around us. And since there are millions of stars in it, they appear to us as the Milky Way. Do you know that there are at least 3,000,000,000 stars in the galaxy? And here is an idea of its size. It takes eight m

33、oint意思相同。听力原文26-30 Do you believe that men and women think differently? Many people say no. They say men and women are born with exactly the same abilities to think and learn. They think social life affects their ways of thinking. In the past ten years, many scientists have studied the differences b
34、etween men and women and they all got the same conclusion: men and women are different because their brains are different and this makes men and women see the world in different ways. Boys, for example, are generally better than girls at mathematical ideas involving objects and their relationships.
35、Boys also are generally faster in response than girls of hand and eye movements in ball games. Girls, on the other hand, generally start speaking earlier and can see better in the dark and are better at learning foreign language than boys. What makes men and women better at one thing or another? The
36、 answer is the brain. The brain has two sides. The nerves on the left side are for mathematics, speech, reading, etc. , while those on the right side are for artistic creation and other senses. In men and women, different areas in each side of the brain develop differently. In boys, for example, it
37、is the area for mathematics; and in girls it is the area for language learning that develops better. Another interesting difference is that the two sides of a mans brain are interconnected by a smaller number of nerves than in the case of a woman, so the flow of information between them is more limi
38、ted. Scientists think this affects some of our abilities. Passage Two 第26题：参考答案：A答案解析：推理判断题。 根据原文开篇可知人们通常认为男人和女人生来具有相同的能力去思考和学习。直到过去十年科学家们通过研究才发现men and women are different because their brains are different由此可判断人们长久以来认为男人女人的大脑是一样的。因此A项的说法“男人女人的大脑是一样的”与原文意思相符，该项为正确答案。 解题关键 根据上下文时间线索判断相关信息处。本题问人们长久以来
39、的想法，原文并未明确提出。但根据开篇介绍的人们通常对男女的认识和后面In the past ten years科学家的发现可推断出题干要求的答案信息处。第27题：参考答案：C答案解析：因果关系的找寻和判断。 通常情况下男人球类运动比女人玩的好，其原因根据原文Boys also are generally faster in response than girls of hand and eye movements in ball games可知在球类运动中男孩子手眼运动通常反应比女孩子快，由此可见选项C的说法与原文意思相符，该项为正确答案。 解题关键 根据句内逻辑判断因果关系。第28题：参考答
40、案：B答案解析：因果关系的找寻和判断。 根据原文the two sides of a mans brain are interconnected by a smaller number of nerves than in the case of a woman，so the flow of information between them is more limited可知由于男人大脑内部起联接作用的神经数量比女人少，脑部神经间的信息流量会受到更多限制。由此可见，男孩子比女孩子接受到的信息少，因此B项内容与原文意思相符，该项为正确答案。 解题关键 根据表结果的信号词so判断上下文因果关系。第2
41、9题：参考答案：B答案解析：主旨题。 本文首先提出传统观点，而后以科学家的研究为证提出自己观点，即男女大脑并不相同。接着讲话者详细阐释说明，论证本文主题。因此B项内容与原文主要内容相符，该项是正确答案。 解题关键 把握全文基本结构和脉络是解题的关键。第30题：参考答案：A答案解析：因果关系的找寻和判断。 根据题干中关键词learning foreign languages定位到原文相关信息处The nerves on the left side are for mathematics，speech，readingIn men and women，different areas in each
42、side of the brain develop differentlyIn boys，for example，it is the area for mathematics；and in girls“is the area for language learning that develops better可知人类大脑左部发展数学、言语、阅读等，男女左右半脑不同区域发展情况不同。男孩数学区域，女孩语言区域发展都优于对方。由此可判断，对于女孩，左半脑司掌语言的区域发展优于男孩。因此A项内容与原文意思相符，是正确答案。 解题关键 掌握比较级的用法是解题的关键。听力原文31-35 Most cou
43、ntries in the world now welcome tourists because of the money they bring in. Many countries make great efforts to encourage tourism, and many also depend on what the yearn from it to keep their economies going. People who like adventure will even try to visit countries where travel is difficult and
44、costs are high. Companies regularly arrange trips through the Sahara desert, or to Himalayas for whoever enjoys such trips, but the numbers of visitors are small. Most tourists try to choose whichever places have fairly comfortable, cheap hotels, quite good food, reasonable safety, sunny weather and
45、 plenty of amusements or unusual things to see. Their choice of a place for a holiday also depends very much on when they can get away; it is not very pleasant to go to a place when it is having its worst weather. One of the big problems of a nation wishing to attract a lot of tourists is the cost o
46、f building hotels for them. Building big hotels swallows up a lot of money, and many of the countries that need the tourists are poor. What they spend on building has to be borrowed produces only chains of ugly hotels wherever there are beauty spots supposed to attract tourists. Another problem is t
47、hat more and more big international companies are building hotels all over the world, so that the profits from a hotel often do not stay in the country in which it has been built. And there is also the question of training staff, teaching them foreign languages, how to cook the kind of food that the foreign tourists expect, and so on. In many countries, special colleges and courses have been set up for this. Crime can also be a problem. Seeing tourists who seem to be much richer than themselves, the local inhabitants are often tempted to steal from them. Somet
