3、e policy. It says that while Asia needs to make changes, the US also has to save more and cut spending. 特定信息的找寻和判断。 关于CEPR缓解不平衡的措施,原文认为. Asian governments,the United States and the European Union to coordinate policy即亚洲各国政府、美国和欧盟应协调政策,显然题干中the European Union needs to make changes 的说法与原文不符;另外,原文还提到 t
4、he US also has to save more and cut spending即美国人需多存少花,显然题干the United States has to spend more and save less 的说法与原文恰恰相反。由此可知,题于的说法是错误的。 解题关键 根据题干中专有名同的特点,注意收集原文中有关国家或机构的信息。第2题:参考答案:A答案解析:听力原文 Born in Bradford, Appleton initially showed little more than a passion for music and cricket.

6、ship to Cambridge,where in 1913 he received a first-class degree in natural sciences 即他18岁那年获得奖学金进入剑桥大学深造,1913年获得自然科学学位,这与题干中obtained a degree in natural sciences from Cambridge in 1913的说法相符;原文in August 1914 saw him join the Royal Engineers; while there he was trained in Marconis recent invention,ra
7、dio technology 即1914年8月他加入皇家工程师协会,接受训练,学习Marconi的最新发明,无线电技术,与题干one year later joined the Royal Engineers where he was trained in radio technology invented by Marconi的说法相符,因此该题的说法是正确的。 解题关键 正确理解复杂句的内容。如本题原文介绍Appleton在剑桥大学学习情况时,使用where引导的定语从句,使有关信息充实。第3题:参考答案:A答案解析:听力原文 The new picture, the second big

Thats not exactly unexpected for a film with subject matter so sensitive and traumatic, and any director has to be extremely careful when it comes to making reality-based films. 因果关系的找寻和判断。
9、 根据段落首句我们了解到该片曾受到好评,但后来也受到批评。根据语义内在逻辑关系可知,下面一句的内容Thats not exactly unexpected for a film with subject matter so sensitive and traumatic 应是原因,即该片主题过于敏感,令人痛苦难忘。由此可知,题干的说法是正确的。 解题关键 根据上下文内在逻辑,找到因果关系。本题上述引文中的指示代词that表明了上下旬间的语义关系。第4题:参考答案:A答案解析:听力原文 Violence against women nullifies their enjoyment of hum

12、对妇女的暴力剥夺了她们对人权的享受便是该声明的重点。 解题关键 理解题干主干结构的内容,可帮助听者有效寻找听力的重点。如本题题干的主要内容是The declaration. is focused on.这样便使听者的注意力集中在该部分内容上。第5题:参考答案:A答案解析:听力原文For many years, doctors advised their patients that the only thing taking multivitamins dose is to give them expensive urine.

14、in is still far from certain, the few dollars you spend on them is probably a good investment. 观点态度的找寻和判断。 对于multivitamins多种维生素的看法,讲话者首先提到以前的传统看法,然后下结论 Now it seems those doctors may have been wrong由此可判断,讲话者的观点应在该句之后。那么原文最后一句的结论Although proof of the benefits of multivitamin is still far from certain
15、,the few dollars you spend on them is probably a good investment 即虽然人们仍没有充足证据证明多种维生素的益处,但是花一点钱在维生素上很可能是一项好投资,显然为讲话者观点。题干的说法显然与原文相符,因此题干的内容是正确的。 解题关键 了解段落的发展方式有助于讲话者正确定位该段的重点信息。本段的发展方式颇为典型,属于“抛球打击式”,即讲话者往往先抛出别人或传统的观点,然后以评判式结论予以打击。如本题原文中Now it seems those doctors may have been wrong便是典型的评判式结论。之后,讲话者便拿
16、出自己的观点,成为全文探讨的主要内容。讲话者自己的观点往往在段尾。第6题:参考答案:A答案解析:听力原文 Iraqs interim constitution says that Islamic law may serve as a source for legislation, though it will not be the laws main underpinning as some religious conservatives had hoped.

17、 free speech and freedom of religion. 语义的找寻和判断。 根据题干中关键词Iraqs new constitution可定位到原文相关信息Iraqs interim constitution says that Islamic law may serve as a source for legislation. 即伊拉克临时宪法将伊斯兰教法规定为立法之本。另外根据原文A bill of rights similar to that in America guarantees. 可推断伊拉克也有bill of rights“权利法案”,由此可判断题干的说法是
18、正确的。 解题关键 掌握同义词的替换。原文关于伊斯兰教法规使用的短语as a source for 与题干中primarily based on意思相同。第7题:参考答案:A答案解析:听力原文 Talks aimed at getting North Korea to stop trying to make nuclear weapons ended on Saturday with no significant breakthrough, but with all sides saying they are prepared to keep talking.

21、of them do. Their average loan debt when they graduate is 19,000 dollars. At public universities, the average is 17,000 dollars. 数字信息的找寻和判断。 根据原文有关数字信息In 1993,less than one-half of graduates from four-year colleges had student loans 即在1993年,四年制大学中不到一半的人拿到过学生贷款,这与题干中的 50不符,另外原文Their average loan debt
22、 when they graduate is 19,000 dollars 即毕业时,他们的平均贷款债务为19,000美元,这与题干中17,000美元的说法不符,因此本题的说法是错误的。 解题关键 根据题干特点注意数字方面的相关内容。第9题:参考答案:A答案解析:听力原文Some fuel or oil additives can be a problem for engines and fuel systems. Additives displace protective chemicals in gasoline and engine oil; some may corrode fuel
23、pumps or gas tanks, or make flexible fuel hoses and fittings brittle.

24、. 即添加剂将汽油和发动机油中的化学物质除去,有的甚至会腐蚀燃料泵或油箱。由此可见,题干说法与原文相符,因此该题的说法是正确的。 解题关键 掌握重点单词的词形变化形式是解题的关键。本题需掌握原文中displace及 corrode在题干中词形变化为名词形式。第10题:参考答案:B答案解析:听力原文A total of 17 people have died from encephalitis B after being bitten by mosquitoes in Yuncheng, a city in north Chinas Shanxi Province in the last two
25、 weeks, local health authorities said Friday. Encephalitis is an inflammation of the brain that can occur at any age and is usually the result of a viral infection.

26、 at any age and is usually the result of a viral infection即Encephalitis是一种脑部炎症,是病毒感染的结果,任何年龄的人都有可能患病。由此可见,题干说只有18岁以下的人才可能患病,显然与原文不符,因此该题的说法是错误的。 解题关键 注意对原文中数字信息的收集。Part Listen to the following short passages and then choose one of the answers that best fits the meaning of each passage by blackening
27、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 Americas Central Bank is part of a larger financial system called the United States Federal Reserve System.

36、other obstacle for gaming operators is the unclear legal situation in many places. 因果关系的找寻和判断。 题干问亚洲移动电话赌博市场受到限制的主要原因。根据原文The mobile gambling market in Asia is still limited by the lack of suitable phones 即在亚洲,因合适的手机匮乏,移动赌博市场有限,由此可判断B的说法“技术限制”与原文相符;虽然文中也提到另外一个原因Another obstacle for gaming operators
37、is the unclear legal situation in many places即赌博的另一障碍是不少地方法规情况不明了,但没有选项与之相符,因此该题正确答案为B。 解题关键 根据表示因果关系的信号词来判断相关信息的因果关系。本题中原文使用 by短语表示前后文的因果关系。第15题:参考答案:D答案解析:听力原文 Windmills are sprouting across the United States, as Americans search for non-polluting alternative energy sources.

This is more of a problem at another site in Northern California, which is on a migration route.
39、In response to complaints, owners have agreed to a temporary shutdown of some of that areas wind turbines during this years winter migration. 因果关系的找寻和判断。 原文提到在今冬鸟类迁徙季节,风车暂时停开是对complaints抱怨的回应,显然这些抱怨的具体内容便是题干要找的原因。由此关键词定位到原文相关信息处Some residents complain the large towers are unsightly,and environmental
40、ists have criticized the windmills as dangerous to birds. 即有居民抱怨这些高塔般的风车非常难看,一些环境保护主义人士批评风车对鸟类是危险的。由此可推断,风车暂时停开的直接原因是怕鸟类在迁徙途中受到风车的伤害。因此D项是正确答案。 解题关键 根据上下文内在逻辑关系判断因果关系。第16题:参考答案:D答案解析:听力原文About 10 percent of Europes present-day population seems to be resistant to HIV - a significantly higher proporti
