2、 There are ten questions in this part of the test, two points for each question.第1题：参考答案：B答案解析：听力原文 In a series of radio broadcasts, Arnold Schwargenegger, the actor-turned-candidate-for-governor, staked out some middle ground on social issues, taking positions that might alien ate his conservative
3、fellow Republicans but match the views of a majority of Californians. 隐含事实的找寻和推断。 原文在谈及Arnold Schwargenegger所采取的立场时说“alienate his conservative fellow Republilcans”即“疏远了他那些保守的共和党派同伴”，由此可推断Arnold Schwargenegger应该是共和党而不是民主党。因此，题干的说法是错误的。 解题关键 1) 理解关键词含义，如原文中alienate的意思，2) 对重要信息作出正确推断，比如能推断出原文中fellow(同伴
4、)，表明Arnold Schwargenegger的党派关系。第2题：参考答案：B答案解析：听力原文 Early onset of depression in children and teens is increasingly common. Depressed adolescents are at high risk for school failure, social isolation, promiscuity, self-medication, and even suicidethe third leading cause of death among 15-to 24-year-o
5、lds. 因果关系的判断。 原文讨论青少年消沉沮丧的问题时说“Depressed adolescents are at high risk for school failure, social isolation.”即“消沉沮丧的午轻人会面临巨大的危险，如学业失败，与社会隔绝等”，由此可判断，消沉沮丧是因，而学业失败，与社会隔绝等是果。题干因果关系倒置，因此是错误的。 解题关键 在没有明显信号词提示的情况下，迅速对上下文语义逻辑关系作出判断，如对上面句子中信息的逻辑关系作出判断。第3题：参考答案：B答案解析：听力原文 Cheliean sea bass is a snow-white, fla
6、ky delicacy in restaurants in the United States, Japan and Europe. Environmentalists have warned that over-fishing and poaching could cause it to vanish from the coasts of Antarctica. 语法理解。 通过原文“over-fishing”可判断Cheliean sea bass可能是鱼类，且原文提出对该物种的过度和非法捕捞“could cause it to vanish”与题干“might have already
7、become extinct”意思不能吻合，前者表示对未来预测的一种可能性，而后者则表示对已发生情况的判断。因此，题干的说法是错误的。 解题关键 正确理解语法概念。第4题：参考答案：A答案解析：听力原文 In western Sweden, a five-year-old girl was abducted and stabbed to death last week by an inmate from a psychiatric institute who was able to come and go at will in part because the cost of looking
8、after such patients in this cradle-to-grave welfare state is becoming too high. 语义推理判断。 本题要求从上下文语境中进行推断。原文谈到在这个从生到死都享受福利的国家，看护费用过高是导致精神病人能随意进出医院的部分原因，而这种病人随意出入医院又造成了5岁儿童的惨死。由此可推断，该国的福利制度已经不能令人满意，不再有效了。因此，题干的说法是正确的。 解题关键 能够凭借信号词对语义关系作出正确判断，如可根据原文中be cause对语义关系作出因果关系的判断。第5题：参考答案：B答案解析：听力原文 While women
9、 make up half the 325 million people in the Middle East and North Africa, and in some countries as many as 63 percent of university students, they comprise only 32 percent of the labor force, according to a World Bank report released on the eve of its annual meeting with the International Monetary F
10、und. 数字信息的找寻和判断。 本题要求对妇女在各领域内的构成人数进行判断。将题干与原文进行对比可知，原文中说妇女在劳动力中占32%，而非题干中所言占大学生人数的32%，因此，题干的说法是错误的。 解题关键 迅速对数字及其相关信息作出反应和判断。第6题：参考答案：B答案解析：听力原文 Nuclear energy is released at the suns center as high energy gamma radiation, a form of electromagnetic radiation like light and radio waves, only of very m
11、uch shorter wavelength. 比较结构的理解。 本题要求听者分辨清所比较之物及其对比关系。原文谈到Nuclear energy(核能)时，将其解释为high energy gamma radiation(高能伽马辐射)，像光波和无线电波一样属于一种光砌寸线，只是其波长更短一些。由此可见，题干说光波和无线电波的波长短得多的说法是错误的。 解题关键 正确理解句子结构。第7题：参考答案：A答案解析：听力原文 Hunger is not caused by a global scarcity of food. The world can easily produce enough t
12、o feed everyone, without any government support. When people go hungry, it is because they do not have access to foodsometimes for reasons of war or politics, most often because of poverty. 因果关系判断。 关于饥谨问题，文章认为“Hunger is not caused by a global scarcity of food”即“饥饿不是由于全球粮食匮乏造成的”，而且进一步说“.it is because
13、 they do not have access to foodsometimes for reasons of war or politics, most often because of poverty”即“饥饿问题是因为人们由于战争、政治、贫穷等原因而无法得到食物”，显然文章认为饥谨问题与粮食供应的畅通与否有关。因此，题干说解决饥谨问题需要消除粮食供应的障碍而非提高粮食产量的说法是正确的。 解题关键 掌握表因果关系的信号词，如文中“not caused.”，“because.”等。第8题：参考答案：B答案解析：听力原文 A documentary is an arrangement of
14、 non-fictional films, structured to support the preexisting ideas of the filmmaker. Only the terminally stupid and the childishly innocent imagine that anyone making a documentary film aspires to objective truth. 观点态度的找寻和判断。 关于documentary(记录片)，文章认为这种影片“structured to support the pre existing ideas of
15、 the filmmaker”即“就是要迎合支持制片商的先入之见”，文章还认为只有愚蠢，幼稚的制片商才会使记录片“.aspires to objective truth”即“追求客观事实”。由此可见，题干认为记录片是制片商“mix his preconceptions with objective truth”即“将其先入之见和客观事实融合”的说法与原文不符，因此是错误的。 解题关键 掌握同义词的替换。如文中preexisting idea与题干中preconception同义。第9题：参考答案：B答案解析：听力原文 Too often, Japans conservative and nat
16、ionalist leaders have managed to spot the forces of change more quickly than their liberal domestic counterparts, and have used those changes to seize the advantages and preserve their power. 比较结构的理解。 本题要求将conservative and nationalist leaders和liberal democrats的政治立场进行比较。根据原文“Japans conservative and n
17、ationalist leaders have managed to spot the forces of change more quickly than their liberal domestic counterparts”即“日本保守党和民族主义者比自民党更能发现变化的力量”，由此可知，自民党不能很快地发现变化的力量，但与题干所言自由民主党更倾向于遵守其原则含义不相符，因此题干的说法是错误的。 解题关键 掌握词语的概念。the forces of change(变化的力量)的概念与 principles(原则)不相同。第10题：参考答案：A答案解析：听力原文 As a super he
18、ro in her own right, Xena is a female piglet cloned from fetal-pig skin cells. She may prove to be more than the latest addition to the biotech clone farm. Because of similarities between porcine and human organs, the techniques that made Xena may eventually create a supply of genetically modified p
19、ig livers that would be acceptable to the human immune system. 语义逻辑推理判断。 原文认为“Because of similarities between porcine and human organs, the techniques that made Xena may eventually create a supply of genetically modified pig livers that would be acceptable to the human immune system.”即“鉴于猪和人的器官有相似性，
20、创造了Xena的技术必将创造出可以为人类免疫系统接受的转基因猪肝脏”，由此可推断由于猪和人内脏器官有相似性，未来技术将会使得猪的肝脏移植到人身上。因此，题干的说法是正确的。 解题关键 同义词替换。本题需掌握porcine与题干中pig同义。Part Listen to the following short passages and then choose one of the answers that best fits the meaning of each passage by blackening the corresponding circle. There are ten pass
21、ages in this part of the test, with one question each, which carries two points.第11题：参考答案：B答案解析：听力原文Today, I ask you to focus on the challenges of the Information Age.

23、 to stall. 主旨题。 原文首句点明该段主题Today，I ask you to focus on the challenges of the Information Age，而后具体说明了信息时代挑战的主要内容。由此可知，选项B的内容与原文相符，因此是正确答案。 解题关键 1)注意提示主旨的词语，如首句中focus on明确了其后内容即为全段主旨内容；2)注意段落行进的方式。本段首先提出普遍认同的观点，而后使用信号词 but，提示听者注意后面的内容是说者讨论的重点内容，应为全段主旨。因此对于类似段落，听者应注意段中表转折的词语后面的内容。第12题：参考答案：B答案解析：听力原文The

27、rly a subsidiary within it,由it的指代关系可知，该系主要关于training of English language teachers，这样，选项D也被排除。由此可知，选项B是正确答案。 解题关键 1)根据题干要求，有重点地在原文中找寻与之有关的信息，并作简单的推理判断；2)掌握代词的指代关系，有助于听者正确理解原文内容，作出正确推断。第13题：参考答案：C答案解析：听力原文Laughter can even provide a kind of pain relief.
