10、随后讲话者进一步表明态度，认为对于患者而言，护士尤为重要，因为住院期间护士与患者接触密切。由此可判断，题干认为在医院，护士通常比医生对患者态度更和蔼、更友好的说法与原文意思不相符，因此是错误的。 解题关键 掌握双重否定句式的强调作用。第6题：参考答案：B答案解析：听力原文Each year alcoholism kills 40,000 Americans.

19、yer shaving with a name-brand razor does not tell the customer the cost or quality of the razor blade. 语义的理解和判断。 原文认为Commercials may sell products，but they generally give little consumer information 即商家出售产品但通常不向消费者透露有关信息，然后以饮料和剃须刀广告为例，说明消费者对产品的信息知之甚少。由此可知，题干的说法与原文意思相符，因此是正确的。 解题关键 掌握little的否定性含义是正确理
20、解原文含义的关键。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.

23、题的关键；2)掌握主干结构中的比较结构，有助于正确理解原文含义。第12题：参考答案：C答案解析：听力原文Glasgow is certainly a good place to study architecture.
