3、 with each other and with the Internet. 语义的理解和判断。 原文中提到该大学图书馆有两百万藏书支持科研和学习，而且有校园网供教工和学生使用。由此可判断，题干的说法与原文意思相同，因此是正确的。 解题关键 掌握同义词替换是解题的关键。本题题干中be available. 与原文中to support. 和connect. with. 的意思相当。第2题：参考答案：A答案解析：听力原文 The expansion of trade hasnt fully closed the gap between those of us who live on the c
4、utting edge of the global economy and the billions around the world who live on the knifes edge of survival. 语义的理解和判断。 关于世界贸易发展和经济全球化对世界各国的影响，原文认为贸易的发展并没有缩短掌控全球贸易权的富国和在生存边缘挣扎的穷国间的距离。由此可知，题干的说法与原文相符，因此是正确的。 解题关键 根据常识掌握词语内涵，有助于正确理解原文，并作出正确判断。本题中 who live on the cutting edge of the global economy 指的是富国
5、，而who live on the knifes edge of survival 指的是穷国。第3题：参考答案：B答案解析：听力原文Avoid artificial sweeteners and synthetic fat substitutes and the foods made with them.

6、artificial sweeteners“人造甜味素”和synthetic fat substitutes“人造脂肪”，文中认为这些东西应既不健康又不利于保持轻盈体态。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 掌握指示代词的指代关系。如本题原文中they即指artificial sweeteners and synthetic fat substitutes。第4题：参考答案：A答案解析：听力原文I was raised in a conservative, old southern aristocratic setting. Even though my parents
7、didnt push this attitude too much, I was pulled into it. Everything I did from school to soccer games to church was some sort of snobby status game to the adults. At all these functions, I felt looked down on. 语义的理解和判断。 根据原文可知，讲话者出生在南方一个保守的贵族家庭，他所做的每一件事，从上学踢足球到上教堂都成为成人间身份地位的角逐。由此可推测，该家庭非常注重身份地位，将其放在
8、生活中极其重要的地位。因此题干的说法是正确的。 解题关键 能够根据语句含义及上下文关系作出简单的总结归纳。本题原文首先明确说话者的家庭背景，而后具体讲述该背景下的生活方式。由此可作出简单归纳，即他的家庭非常重视身份地位。第5题：参考答案：B答案解析：听力原文The physicians in a hospital form the core of the medical staff. But they could not provide effective medical care to their patients without the help of numerous nurses. F
9、or the patients, the nursing staff is particularly important. Nurses are usually in close contact with patients as long as they are in the hospital. 观点态度的理解和判断。 对于患者的关爱，讲话者认为医生could not provide effective medical care to their patients without the help of numerous nurses 即没有无数护士的帮助，他们就不能给患者提供有效的医疗关爱，
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 internati
11、onal understanding through athletics.

12、competition“作为国际竞争”的说法与原文不符，因此是错误的。 解题关键 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7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.

13、okesman said the law does not advance 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
14、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8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. I
15、ncreased institutional rigidity also 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
16、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9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,
17、 but there is no regular or predictable 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
18、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10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 indi
19、viduals who ride in a reclined position 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 a
20、dditional risk of injury可知，三起事故的报道表明身系安全带，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。Part Listen to the following
21、short passages and then choose one of the answers that best fits the meaning of each passage by blackening the corresponding circle.

22、ial system called the United States Federal Reserve System. It is not a single bank, but a banking system with operations that are both public and private.

23、s purpose is to control the flow of money in the economy，to supervise banking activity and to protect the financial system 即其目标是控制经济中货币的流动，监督银行业活动，并保护金融制度，将其与各选项内容对比，只有C的内容“制造与流通纸币和硬币”与原文不符，因此该项是正确答案。 解题关键 掌握同义词的替换，如本题中原文supervise与选项B中oversee同义。第12题：参考答案：B答案解析：听力原文 The UK Department for Transport sa

28、 said that as of July 17，. 295 went missing由此可见，C项失踪人数为“295”与原文相符，是正确答案。 解题关键 根据题干中关键词，找到正确的数字信息。本题中的数字信息较多，听的重点应与题干关键词相结合。第14题：参考答案：B答案解析：听力原文 Governments from Singapore to South Korea are increasingly lifting restrictions on gambling.

30、 the users globally. The mobile gambling market in Asia is still limited by the lack of suitable phones. Another 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 suit
31、able 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 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

33、to birds. This is more of a problem at another site in Northern California, which is on a migration route.

34、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 environmentalists 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：B答案解析：听力原文 In an
35、y movie theater any summer, you can practically hear the atrophying of brain cells.

39、rists tended to take like-minded compatriots back to the region to express solidarity with a movement, act as international observers or simply educate foreigners on the consequences of cold-war policies. 主旨题。 原文第一句提出“Political tourism first took off in the 1980s.”而后面的各句都是支持性细节，分别从原因、状况和结果等方面进一步介绍说明
