38、have received applications for public meetings and protests on practically everyday of the week during the conference. 1 【正确答案】 D 【试题解析】 数字计算题。本题考到新闻中涉及的一些数据，但是我们不能简单照搬所听到的数字，因为那样并不符合题意。在此， 我们需要根据所给信息进行简单地计算。新闻中描述： “警方表示，在会议期间他们将会动用 9000名警力，也就是全港 1/3的警力。 ”根据这句话提供的信息，我们可以算出全港大约有27000警力，所以 D项是正确的选项。 【
39、知识模块】 新闻听力 2 【正确答案】 B 【试题解析】 细节判断题。新闻中有这样一句话： “香港政府表示，为期一周的世贸会议会给公众带来不便，希望大家理解。 ”B选项中出现了关键的单词inconvenience，前面的动词虽然换了，但是和原意差别不大。所以，在此我们应该选择 B项。 【知识模块】 新闻听力 3 【听力原文】 Palestinians have exported the first shipment of crops grown in Gaza greenhouses left behind by evacuated Jewish settlers.Palestinian of

42、e Palestinians. Palestinian officials say access to the outside world is crucial for strengthening Gazas troubled economy. 3 【正确答案】 C 【试题解析】 地点方位题。本段新闻的难点之一就是其中出现了很多考生并不熟悉的地理名称，如果能有一些相关的背景知识，听起来会觉得简单一些。原文中说： “巴勒斯坦官员声称， 2.5吨辣椒经加尼人口已离开加沙并将在以色列出售。 ”因此，我们应该选择 C项。 而 D项提到的 Europe则是他们接下来贸易销售的地区。 【知识模块】 新闻听
43、力 4 【正确答案】 C 【试题解析】 细节判断题。选项中 B项具有很强的迷惑性，新闻开始时提到 “这些温室是由已撤离的犹太定居者留下的。 ”但是我们仔细听下面的内容就会发现有这样一句话明确交待了问题的答案。即 “一些民间和国外的捐赠者以 1300万美元买下这些温室并赠送给巴勒斯坦。 ”由此，我们可以判断正确选项应该是 C项无疑了。 【知识模块】 新闻听力 5 【听力原文】 This was one of the most daring prison breakouts to take place in Greece.

47、架罪和银行抢劫罪，新闻后面的谋杀罪是描述某些在克 瑞达洛斯监狱关押的罪犯的罪行，而不是这名越狱者的罪行，所以正确选项应该是 A项。 【知识模块】 新闻听力 6 【正确答案】 C 【试题解析】 细节判断题。越狱事件发生的这座监狱在雅典具有一定的知名度，是因为它 “关押的都是一些臭名昭著的罪犯，其中包括了好战左翼组织的领导人 ”。本题的解答关键在于知道 C中的 infamous是 “声名狼藉的 ”之义等同于原文中的 notorious。 【知识模块】 新闻听力 7 【听力原文】 Many people may be nervous about using online bill pay.
