18、the best answer to each question on ANSWER SHEET TWO. You have thirty seconds to preview the questions. 1 【听力原文】 W: Did you have a good time last weekend? M: Yes, I did. I visited some friends in Pennsylvania. They live in a small town called Canonsburg. W: That must have been interesting. Ive never
19、 been in a small town just big cities. M: Neither have I. W: What did you do? M: There isnt as much to do there as is here. No plays or concerts, that is, people make their own entertainment, though. W: What do you mean? M: Well, Saturday we went to a potluck supper. W: A potluck supper? Whats that?
20、 M: The whole neighborhood has a party. Everybody brings something. Its all put on the table and you can eat whatever you like. That is a potluck supper. W: Its something like a picnic, isnt it? M: Well, yes. The weather was warm, so we had this one outdoors. But in winter they have them indoors too
21、. W: What else did you do? M: Sunday we went for a drive. We had lunch at a drive-in. W: Is the countryside interesting? M: Beautiful farmland. Youd like it. W: Im sure I would. M: Sunday evening some people came for dinner. It was very informal we just sat around and talked. Just a nice Sunday nigh
22、t supper. W: Thats the kind of evening I like. I dont care for a formal dinner so much. M: Neither do I. 1 【正确答案】 A 【试题解析】 事实细节题。本题的难度不大，一开始男士就介绍说： “我去拜访了宾西法尼亚的几位朋友，他们住在一个叫 Canonsburg的小城镇里。 ”因此正确选项很容易就能找到是 A项。 B、 C和 D三项均属原词干扰。虽然文中出现picnic， concert和 formal dinner，但这三个选项都没有正确表达甚至误传原文的意思。另外， B、 C和 D项也不
23、能全面回答该提问。 【知识模块】 对话听力 2 【正确答案】 C 【试题解析】 细节判断题。对话中出现了很多关于活动安排的 词，但是选择时我们要注意他们对应的时间是否和题干一致。选项 A迷惑性较大，因为关于 potluck占了对话一定的比重，但它确切举行的时间是 Saturday；而且 potluck supper是晚餐，不可能发生在早晨；对话中也没有提及是否是在室内，错误较多。对话中男士有这样一句话应该成为我们判断的依据，他说： “周日我们驾车兜风。在一家免下车的饭馆吃中午饭。 ”根据正常的说话习惯，我们可判定驾车应该发生在午饭之间，即早晨，因此选 C项。 【知识模块】 对话听力 3 【正确
24、答案】 A 【试题解析】 主旨大意 题。尽管这段对话不是在讨论对某个问题或现象的理解或解释，但是依旧还存在一个核心的话题，即上个周末生活的安排和度过的情况。这类题目的解答方法之一是注意对话的开头。本段对话一开始的提问就提示其主题，正确选项应该是 A。其他选项只涉及对话的某部分或者是根据对话的一些推断，比较片面，不能成为正确选项。 【知识模块】 对话听力 4 【听力原文】 W: Todays arts report is on Dan Parker of the American Indian Dance Theater. Mr. Parker, I understand your troupe
25、 performs traditional music and dance from many different Native American cultures. Can you give us some ideas of some of the dances youll be doing in the performance tonight? M: Certainly. Well be doing won-us-award dance. Originally it was a story telling device to recount battles. Another is the
26、grass dance, performed by the plains Indians, where they actually flatten tall field grass to prepare for a ceremony. W: Since your dancers are from many different tribes, how can you be sure the dances are done correctly? M: Everything we do has been approved by the elders of our tribes. Thats part
27、ly because we dont necessarily know each others styles of dances. But its also because its hard to get complete agreement even within the same tribe about exactly how the dance should be done. W: Anyone who attends one of your performances will notice that your company goes to a lot of trouble to pr
28、ovide detailed explanations of the origin of the dances, the music, the costumes and so forth. Could you explain to our listeners why you do these? M: Good question. Our explanations show that in our cultures, dance is ritual rather than entertainment. We also want to make it clear to our audience t
29、hat we are not performing any dances used for sacred ceremonies. 4 【正确答案】 A 【试题解析】 主旨大意题。在采访中，主持人或记者的问题经常是谈话的核心。对话中主持人问道： “你能向我们介绍一下今晚表演的一些舞蹈吗 ?”可见舞蹈表演是采访的主题。正确答案是 A项。 B、 C、 D项虽然都有 dance，但所说的都不是要表演的舞蹈，因此不正确。 【知识模块】 对话听力 5 【正确答案】 D 【试题解析】 推理题。问到采访的目的，我们同样应该主要关注的是主持人或记者的提问，单个问题或是多个问题的综合便可显露出采访 的意图。本段对
30、话中，主持人的问题都是要求对方介绍他们所表演的舞蹈的情况，所以其目的也就是要通过这样的方式告知相关表演的情况，所以在此我们应该选 D项。 【知识模块】 对话听力 6 【正确答案】 B 【试题解析】 细节归纳题。男士在回答主持人的问题时说到了他们所做的一切都经过部落长者的批准，接下来便给出了两方面的原因。一是由于他们相互之间不一定清楚各自舞蹈的风格；另外也是由于即使在同一个部落中，人们有时也不能对某种舞蹈确切的跳法达成一致的意见。综合以上原因，对照选项可以确定最佳答案是 B项。 【知识模块】 对话听力 7 【听力原文】 M: I really appreciate your filling me
31、 in on yesterdays lecture. W: No problem. I thought you might want to go over it together. And, anyway, it helps me review. Hope youre feeling better now. M: I am. Thanks. So, you said she talked about squid? Sounds a little strange. W: Well, factually, it was about the evolution of sea life a conti
32、nuation from last week. The octopus and the squid descended from earlier creatures with shells. They survived by shedding their shells somewhere between 200 and 500 million years ago. M: Thats a pretty long span of time. Some squid are really huge. Can you imagine something that big if it still had
33、a shell? W: Actually, its because they lost their shells that they could evolve to a bigger size. M: Make sense. Ive read about fishermen who caught squid that weighed over a ton. Did she talk about how that happened? W: Not really. But she did mention some unusual cases. In 1933 they caught a squid
34、 in New Zealand. lets see here. it was twenty-two yards long. M: Remind me of all those stories of sea monsters. W: Dr. Simpson thinks there are probably even larger ones that havent been found because squid are intelligent and fast so they can easily get away from humans. Maybe some of those monste
35、r stories are true. 7 【正确答案】 B 【试题解析】 主旨大意题。对话开始是相互的客套，并不是对话的焦点。下面谈话的焦点是从男士的一个问题开始，即 “你说她谈到了乌贼是吗 ?”而女士的回答很好地概括了这一问题，她说： “实际上是关于海洋生物进化的，是上堂课的延续。 ”从这句话开始，他们的谈论便集中在某些海洋生物的进化上。选项 B概括准确。 【知识模块】 对话听力 8 【正确答案】 D 【试题解析】 细节判断题。本题考查的内容和上一题在对话中的顺序有些颠倒，答案出现在 一开始相互客套的部分。她问候男士： “希望你现在感觉好点了。 ”这句话是我们判断此题的关键。根据学习英语语
36、言的知识，再加上日常的生活经验，我们应该能想到选项应该是 D项，否则女士说的话就不合时宜了。 【知识模块】 对话听力 9 【正确答案】 C 【试题解析】 细节复现题。本题的难度相对较低，因为对话中出现数字部分较少，很容易锁定相关答案的出处。原话的意思是 “他们在 2亿至 5亿年之前的这段时间通过脱掉外壳而幸存了下来。 ”正确选项 C虽用 some sea creatures替代了they，但没有改变原意。 【知识模块】 对话听力 10 【正确答案】 C 【试题解析】 观点态度题。对话中女士转述了老师课堂上讲述的不同寻常的案例，这使得男士想到了海里的怪物的故事。女士没有驳斥海怪的存在，而是猜测或
37、许真的存在一些不为人所知的、超出人们想象之外被人们叫做 “怪 ”物的大的海洋生物。结合四个选项，最佳答案应该是 C项。 【知识模块】 对话听力 11 【听力原文】 M: Flight reservations, can I help you?

41、根据西方习惯，在公司接听电话时，一般要先报上自己的姓名与公司名称。对话开始男士自我介绍，由此可以推断出这是电话英语。可排除选项 A、 B与 D。 【知识模块】 对话听力 12 【正确答案】 A 【试题解析】 细节题。男士说没有直达航班，所以选择 A。 B用 direct flight进行干扰，要注意排除。 【知识模块】 对话听力 13 【正确答案】 A 【试题解析】 时间数字题。男士谈到最迟要在起飞前 45分钟取机票 。飞机 6：10起飞，所以最迟 5： 25要去取机票。 【知识模块】 对话听力 14 【听力原文】 W: Dan, you know the lab you missed? Yo
42、u can have my notes. M: Thank you. W: So how are you feeling? M: Much better now that I began taking an antibiotic. Students Health gave me one, and its really help.

43、e got blood poisoned and would have died. But his doctor had heard of this new drug, called penicillin. M: Wow, he was really lucky. And now we have lots of antibiotics that kill bacteria.

45、tle. I think Ill take a new look at the label and drop by the library to see if they have any reference books on medicine. See you in lab tomorrow. 14 【正确答案】 D 【试题解析】 主旨大意题。从对话中可以知道男士生病了，服用抗生素后，有了很大好转。他对于人类能在抗生素发明之前幸存下来感到很吃惊。女士表示同意，她举了她父亲的例子。她父亲年幼时曾经病危，但是他的医生听说了一种叫做盘尼西林的新 药，从而挽救了他。然后女士谈到： “盘尼西林能够杀死细
46、菌，但并非所有的抗生素都这样。一些只是降低了细菌的繁衍速度，直到我们的正常的免疫防御系统完成最终工作。四环素就是这样。 ”这都与抗生素的特点有关，所以选择 D。 【知识模块】 对话听力 15 【正确答案】 C 【试题解析】 事实推理题。女士谈到自己父亲的经历。她的父亲年幼时曾经病危，但是他的医生听说了一种叫做盘尼西林的新药，从而挽救了他。所以 C项 “强调抗生素的重要性 ”为最佳答案。 【知识模块】 对话听力 16 【正确答案】 A 【试题解析】 细节题。在对话最后男士说他不记得服用的抗生素的名字，要重新看看药的标签，然后去图书馆找找是否有相关的参考书，即 A项 “查阅他服用的药品的信息 ”。
