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.
3、 Nine nations participated in the first Games; over 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
4、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找到重要人物Baron Pierre de Coubertin的主张是解题的关键。第2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
5、 the US goal of stopping the spread of nuclear weapons 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
6、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，就是指禁止向巴基斯坦提供援助的命令。第3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
7、limits downward price adjustment. 因果关系的找寻和判断。 题干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
8、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4题：参考答案：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 predictab
9、le pattern. 特定信息的找寻和理解。 本题要求理解seismic activity(地震活动)。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
10、的关键信息是seismic activity，如果对有关该词部分的内容充分理解，便能作出正确的判断。第5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 positio
11、n while wearing these safety belts may place themselves 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
12、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，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。第6题：参考答案：B答案解析：听力原文 The economic slump is the biggest problem facin
13、g Americans today. Despite all the talks about deficit spending, oil prices, unemployment, and the impending depression, Americans continue to spend large sums of money on goods which are frivolous and damaging to the country. 语义的理解和判断。 本题要求理解和判断美国的经济状况。根据原文，当今美国面临的最大问题是经济疲软。虽然美国人透支消费，油价，失业和迫在眉睫的大萧条
14、津津乐道，但他们仍然继续花大价钱买那些华而不实的商品，损害了国家的经济发展。显然，题干中说美国is suffering from economic depression“美国正在遭受经济危机”和American economy will soon be recovered“美国经济将很快恢复”的说法与原文不符，因此是错误的。 解题关键 1)中心句和支持性细节的关系。材料中第一句是中心句，概括了当今美国面临的最大问题是经济疲软。后面的内容具体说明了这一点。2)根据原文中词汇的色彩，可作出正确推断。如原文中自始至终使用了带有贬义色彩的词，如：slump， deficit，unemployment，
15、depression，frivolous，damaging等，由此可判断，美国的经济不会在短期内recover“恢复”。第7题：参考答案：A答案解析：听力原文 British Customs authorities have confiscated a huge shipment of weapons bound for Protestant gunmen in Northern Ireland. It was said to be the biggest seizure of arms in British history. Authorities, tipped off by Polish
16、 agents, found more than 300 assault rifles and two metric tons of explosives on a polish freighter in Northern Britain. The outlawed Ulster Volunteer Force admitted that it was waiting for the shipment in Belfast. 主要信息的找寻和判断。 原文中主要信息有三点：1)由British Customs authorities have confiscated a huge shipmen
17、t of weapons 可知，英国海关没收了“大批武器；2)由the biggest seizure of arms. tipped off by Polish agents可知，由于波兰间谍告密，(英国海关)才成功地缴获了如此多的武器；3)由Ulster Volunteer Force admitted that it was waiting for the shipment可知，该组织承认他们是这批武器的买主。由此可见，题干的内容与原文主干部分内容相符，是正确的。 解题关键 1)从复杂的信息中识别主干部分的主要内容是解题的关键。本题的信息庞杂，因此要根据题干内容抓住原文话语中的主干部分，
18、排除次要信息，如一些起修饰作用的短语和词汇及对这批军火的具体统计数据等；2)掌握同义词替换，原文中tip off 意为“为通风报信”，与题干中enabled.to.相呼应。第8题：参考答案：A答案解析：听力原文 With major airports facing chronic traffic jams and nobody volunteering to have a new airport built in his backyard, how is the air-travel boom going to sustain itself? One answer may come from
19、the Department of Defense, which had sponsored development of an innovative new type of aircraft that doesnt need a runway; its engine pods point upward for vertical takeoff, then tilt horizontally for forward flight. 词汇理解。 原文首句提问：航空业在面临种种困难的情况下如何保持繁荣兴盛?接着，文章给予回答One answer may come from the Departme
20、nt of Defense，which had sponsored development of an innovative new type of aircraft that doesnt need a runway.即国防部已出资研制一种新型飞机，该飞机不需跑道显然题干信息与原文相吻合，是正确的。 解题关键 能够确定题干中prosperity，invest分别与原文中boom，sponsor是同义替换。第9题：参考答案：B答案解析：听力原文 An independent researcher warned that an Internet Explorer vulnerability co
21、uld turn drag-and-drop into drag-and-infect, even on computers updated for Microsofts latest security patch. The flaw affects the latest version of Internet Explorer running on Windows XP, even after the latest major update - known as Service Pack 2 - is applied. 特定信息的找寻和判断。 关于Internet Explorer，原文认为
22、该系统存在缺陷，即便使用了微软最新的安全技术对电脑升级，也无法解决该问题，随后又以Windows XP最新版本的Internet Explorer举例说明了该缺陷的严重性。由此可知，题干说“该缺陷不会影响已经用微软最新安全技术升级了的电脑”与原文不符，是错误的。 解题关键 理解关键词含义。本文中明确了缺陷会affect(影响)Windows XP上的Internet Explorer。这里affect一般指带来负面的影响。第10题：参考答案：A答案解析：听力原文The potential of computers for increasing the control of organizati
23、ons or society over their members and for invading the privacy of those members has caused considerable concern. The privacy issue has been raised most insistently with respect to creation and maintenance of data files that assemble information about persons from a multitude of sources. 主要信息的找寻和判断。
24、原文主要提出与电脑有关的隐私问题。主要信息包括：1)The potential of computers. for invading the privacy of those members has caused considerable concern即电脑具有侵入其成员的系统，获得隐私的潜在可能，使人们广为关注；2)The privacy issue has been raised with respect to creation and maintenance of data files即因数据文件的创建和维护而产生隐私。显然，题干说“机构成员的隐私因使用电脑创建和维护数据文件而被侵入”
25、与原文意思相符，因此是正确的。 解题关键 迅速识别所听内容的主干内容并排除次要信息，是解答本题的关键。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 passages in this part of the test, with one question each, which carries
26、two points.第11题：参考答案：C答案解析：听力原文 Culture can be defined as behavior that is learned and transmitted to members of a group. A child learns a particular behavior through observation as well as through positive and negative feedback from his/her family and peers. A minor point to remember is that this f
27、eedback can be overt or covert. Much covert feedback involves nonverbal cues that an outsider to that culture would not understand. 主旨题。 题干要求找出本段讨论的主要内容。原文第一句阐明Culture can be defined as behavior that is learned and transmitted to members of a group即文化可以定义为被群体成员学习并传播的行为，接着以儿童学习某种行为的方式来具体说明第一句的观点。由此可见
28、，选项C“行为作为文化构建”的内容与原文相符，因此该项是正确答案。 解题关键 一般段落首句是中心句，点明全段的主要内容，因此注意听中心句的主干部分的内容，可迅速判断本段的主旨大意。第12题：参考答案：C答案解析：听力原文Most waves are caused by winds, though earthquakes on the ocean bed can also cause them, and tides are caused by the effect of the gravity of the moon on the earth and also, although to a le
29、sser extent, the suns gravity. One bulge of water is drawn upon the side of the earth actually facing the moon; another bulge of water is drawn on the earths far side. 事实细节的找寻和判断。 题干问潮水形成的原因。根据原文tides are caused by the effect of the gravity of the moon on the earth and also. the suns gravity可知，C的说法“
30、月亮和太阳的引力引起潮水”与原文相符，因此该项是正确答案。 解题关键 1)根据题干中关键词判断听的重点。本题中的关键词是tides和caused by，由此可迅速排除第一句和最后一句；2)绝对化的表达一般是错误的，如A和B中 alone的使用，使全句过于绝对化，因此是错误的。第13题：参考答案：D答案解析：听力原文Many drivers do little more than look over the hood while driving. You must train yourself to fix your eyes so that they can see not only the
31、road ahead of you but objects on each side of you and behind you. Concentration is one of the most important elements in safe driving. The drivers seat is no place for window-shopping, nor it is a place for a tired driver or worried one. Driving an automobile is a full-time job. 语义推理判断。 题干问许多司机会出什么错
32、误?根据原文The drivers seat. nor it is a place for a tired driver or worried one可推断，若司机疲劳或烦恼焦虑时驾驶会引发事故。因此D说许多司机常犯的错误是疲劳驾车或焦虑驾车是正确的。 解题关键 1)有关汽车驾驶的常识有助于正确解题；2)根据各个选项中关键词定位到原文相关处，可帮助听者做出迅速判断。第14题：参考答案：D答案解析：听力原文The cowbird is an unusual American bird, which builds no nest. Instead, a female lays an egg in
33、the nest of another bird and leaves the chicks to be hatched and raised by the adopted parents. Usually, these adopted parents dont seem to notice anything strange about the young cowbird. Even though it may be twice size of their own chicks. 特定信息的找寻和判断。 根据题干中关键词remarkable可定位到首句The cowbird is an unu
34、sual American bird， which builds no nest 由此可知，D说这种鸟不筑巢，与原文相符，是正确答案。 解题关键 能够正确找到题干中关键词在原文中的同义替换，有助于迅速定位原文相关句。本题中原文unusual与题干中remarkable是同义替换。第15题：参考答案：B答案解析：听力原文The dramatic critic, on the other hand, has no such advantage. He cannot be selective; he must cover everything that is offered for public s
35、crutiny in the principal playhouse of the city where he works. The column space that seemed, yesterday, so pitifully inadequate to contain his comments on Long Days Journey Into Night is roughly the same as that which yawns today for his verdict on the latest scrap of milk-fed Kitsch that has chance
36、d to find for itself a numbskull backer with a hundred thousand dollars to lose. 观点态度题。 首先原文提出He cannot be selective；he must cover everything that is offered for public scrutiny in the principal playhouse of the city where he works即戏剧评论家没有选择的余地，需要就所有该城市主要票房作品作出评论，以飨公众。又根据原文The column space that seem
37、ed，yesterday，so pitifully inadequate to column his comments on Long Days Journey Into Night is roughly the same as that which yawns today for his verdict on the latest scrap of milk-fed Kitsch.，即昨天他们对Long Days Journey Into Night的评论洋洋洒洒，今天也得为一部俗不可耐的作品长篇大论。综上所述，可推测戏剧评论家们得受其专栏的某些要求的限制。 解题关键 能够从某些词语的内涵中
38、探察作者的观点态度。第16题：参考答案：D答案解析：听力原文Investment in the public sector, such as electricity, irrigation, quarrying, public services and transport increased by about 10%, although the emphasis moved to transport and away from the other sectors mentioned. Trade and services recorded a 16- 17% investment growth
39、, including a 30% increase in investment in business premises. Industrial investment is estimated to have risen by 8%. 数字信息的辨别和比较。 根据原文数字信息的比较可知，以下各方面投资增长的分布情况：the public sector. about 10，trade and services. 16-17 (30increase in investment in business premises)，industrial investment. 8。这里注意business
40、premises(商业性楼字)投资增长的30是包含在贸易和服务业增长的16-17内的。由此可知，D“投资额最大的是贸易和服务业”的说法与原文相符，是正确答案。 解题关键 把握与数字有关的短语表达是解题的关键。本题中30是听到的最高投资增长额度，但注意该数目前的including短语的使用，说明该数是被包含在16-17之中的。因此B项不是正确答案。第17题：参考答案：D答案解析：听力原文There are exceptions to the rule of male insects being smaller than the females, and some of these excepti
41、ons are intelligible. Size and strength would be advantage to the males which fight for the possession of the females, and in these cases, as with the stag-beetle, the males are larger than the females. There are, however, other beetles which are not known to fight together, of which the males excee
42、d the females in size. But in some of the other cases, as with the huge Dynastes and Megasoma, we can see that there would be no necessity for the males to be smaller in order to be matured before them, for these beetles are not short-lived. 特定信息的找寻和理解。 关于Dynastes和Megasoma两种昆虫，文中说these beetles are n
43、ot short-lived，由此可见， D“长寿是两种昆虫的特点”与原文相符，是正确答案。 解题关键 能够利用信号词判断段落的脉络主线，可以有效帮助识别正确答案。如本题中原文第一句点明了全段中心There are exceptions to the rule of male insects being smaller than the females，即谈论雄性昆虫比雌性昆虫个头小这一规律有特例。然后根据某些短语如in these cases. There are，however，other beetles. But in some of the other cases. 等发出的信号，可判
44、断文章基本结构是以三种昆虫的例子来说明中心，这样可迅速排除与原文中心意思不符的A和并非本文谈论中心的B和C。第18题：参考答案：D答案解析：听力原文The world is going through the biggest wave of mergers and acquisitions ever witnessed. The process sweeps from hyperactive America to Europe and reaches the emerging countries with unsurpassed might. Many in these countries a
45、re looking at this process and worrying wont the wave of business concentration turn into uncontrollable anticompetitive force? 主旨题。 原文首句点明全段中心The world is going through the biggest wave of mergers and acquisitions ever witnessed，结尾句Wont the wave of business concentration turn into uncontrollable an
46、ti-competitive force?又对全段进行了概括。综合首尾句，可得出全文主旨，由此可见D项说全球商业发展趋势是商业机构相互兼并，更具有竞争力，与原文相符，是正确答案。 解题关键 正确识别段落的中心句。一般首句点明全段中心，结尾句概括段落主要内容。第19题：参考答案：A答案解析：听力原文 Today in the techno-society there is an almost ironclad consensus about the future of freedom. Maximum individual choice is regarded as the democratic
47、 ideal. Yet most writers predict that we shall move further and further from this ideal. They conjured up a dark vision of the future, in which people appear as mindless consumer creatures, surrounded by standardized goods, educated in standardized schools, fed a diet of standardized mass culture, a
48、nd forced to adopt standardized styles of life. Such predictions have spawned a generation of future haters and technophobes, as one might expect. 观点态度的判断。 题干要求判断作者对多数作家关于未来的预测所持的态度。根据原文Yet most writers predict that we shall move further and further from this idealThey conjured up a dark vision of the future. 然而大多数作家预言我们的未来生活将越来越偏离这一理想，他们认为未来是黑暗的。显然，作者认为那些作家对未来的预测持悲观态度。因此，A项内容与原文相符合，是正确答案。 解题关键 1)通过表示转折关系的信号词，如本题原文中的yet可判断作者的观点态度；2)能够把握某些短语隐含的意义，如本题中dark vision传递出的一种对未来的悲观态度。第20题：参
