At the end of the recording, you will have 2 minutes to finish this section. 1 【听力原文】 When Henry turned twenty-one, he was legally allowed to vote, but in Davidson County in 1941, blacks could not vote. One night, after he had
32、 turned twenty-one, Henry put his father and five other people in his fathers Model A Ford and drove to the house of the voting registrar. He said they were there to put their names in the voting book. The registrar was prepared for this. He said the literacy regulation required that Henry be able t
33、o read the Constitution of the United States. He placed a copy on the table. Henry picked it up and read it. The registrar looked at Henry and realized he had no choice. He entered Henrys name in the book. He was the first black to register in the county. The second was his father, because Henry wou
34、ld not leave until his fathers name, and the names of the five others, were put in the book. That was not enough. The next day Henry brought more people to the courthouse, where he faced a different clerk who refused to register the people. Henry told him, “I believe you ought to register these folk
35、s. Theyre able to read. Not all of your folks coming in here can read.“ For the first time the county government encountered a man who would not budge from his belief in his rights. Henry got the people registered. 1 【正确答案】 B 【试题解析】 理解推断。根据原文 “When Henry turned twenty-one， he was legally allowed to
36、vote， but inDavidson County in 1941， blacks could not vote ”，译文为：亨利 21岁以后，从法律上他有了选举权。但是 1941年在戴维逊郡，黑人还是不能参与选举。题干表述与原文不符，根据原文不能推断出 1941年在美国黑人没有选举权。 2 【正确答案】 B 【试题解析】 细节信息 。根据原文 “One night， after he had turned twenty-one，Henry put his father and fiveother people in his fathers Model A Ford and drove t
37、o the house of the voting registrar ”，译文为：在他过了 21岁后，一天晚上，亨利驾驶父亲的福特 A型车，载着父亲和其它五个人，开车到了选举登记员的家里。本题关键是理解 thehouse of the voting 3 【正确答案】 A 【试题解析】 理解推断。根据原文 “The registrar was prepared for this He saidHenry be able to read theConstitution of the United States Henry picked it up and read it The registra
38、r lookedat Henry and realized he had no choice ”，译文为：登记员对此早有准备，他说 亨利必须能读懂美国的宪法 亨利拿起就读。登记员看着亨利， 4 【正确答案】 A 【试题解析】 虚拟语气。根据原文 “He said the literacy regulation required that Henry be able to read theConstitution of the United States ”，译文为：他 (登记员 )说读写能力规则要求亨利能够读懂美国的宪法。此旬是虚拟语气，表示应具备的能力，所以题干表述是正确的。 5 【正确答案
39、】 A 【试题解析】 理解推断。根据原文的多处信息 ，如 “I believe you ought to register these folks Theyre ableto read Not all of your folks coming in here can read ”，译文为：我认为你应当为这些人注册登记，他们都能够读书。不是所有到这儿来的白人都可以读书。据此可以推断出，只有会读写的人才能取得选举权，题干表述是正确的。 6 【正确答案】 B 【试题解析】 细节信息。根据原文 “He was the first black to register in the county ”，译文
40、为：他是这个郡第一个登记注册选举权的黑人。题干表述是亨利是第一个投票的人，原文并没有提到，所以是错误的。 7 【正确答案】 A 【试题解析】 理解推断。根据原文 “The second was his father， because Henry would not leave until hisfathers name， and the names of the five others， were put in the book ”，译文为：第二个是他的父亲， 因为直到他父亲的名字还有其他五个人的名在被登记在册，他才会离开。据此可以推断出亨利的父亲和同去的五个人都注册了选举权，所以题干表述是正
41、确的。 8 【正确答案】 B 【试题解析】 理解推断。根据原文 “Henry brought more people to the courthouse， where he faced adifferent clerk who refused to register the people Henry told him， I believe youought to register these folks Theyre able to read Not all of your folks coming in herecan read ”，译文为：亨 9 【正确答案】 A 【试题解析】 理解推断。
42、根据原文 “Not all of your folks coming in here can read ”，译文为：不是所有到这儿来的白人都可以读书。本题关键是理解 folks指的就是白人，和登记员他们一类的人，即歧视黑人的人。据此推断题干表述是正确的。 10 【正确 答案】 B 【试题解析】 理解推断。根据原文 “Henry got the people registered。 ”，译文为：亨利使这些人都登记注册了。这些人指的是亨利带去注册的人，而不是整个郡的黑人，题干表述扩大了原文的所指范围，所以是错误的。 SECTION 2 (10 points) Listen to the follo
43、wing short statements and then choose one of the answers that best fits the meaning of each statement. There are 10 questions in this section, 1 points for each question. You will hear the recording only ONCE. 11 【听力原文】 If he should fail to come in time, ask Bob to work in his place. 11 【正确答案】 C 【试题
44、解析】 固定搭配。根据原文 “If he should fail to come in time， ask Bob to work in his place ”，此句 是虚拟条件句，译文为：如果他不能按时到的话，让鲍勃代替他。本题关键在于理解固定搭配 fail to do sth，意思是：未能做成 ，所以 C选项 if he didnt come in time是对原文的正确解释。 12 【听力原文】 Now youve got me. 12 【正确答案】 D 【试题解析】 口语理解。根据原文 “Now youve got me ”，关键在于理解 get的词义，动词 get的义项很多，但本句是
45、口语的表达方法， get有 “难住，使面对难题 ”的意思， Now youve got me的意思就是 “你难倒我了 ”，所以选 D。 13 【听力原文】 When I ran into my cousin Susan on campus, I was surprised to find that she only came up to my shoulder. 13 【正确答案】 A 【试题解析】 固定搭配。根据原文 “When I ran into my cousin Susan on campus， I was surprised to findthat she only came up
46、 to my shoulder ”，译文为：当我在校园里偶然碰上我的表妹苏姗，我很吃惊地发现她的个子只到我的肩膀。 run into固定搭配，意思是：撞上，偶遇， come up to固定搭配，意思是：达到 (标准 )，比得上，所以选择 A选项。 She was as tall as my shoulder意思是：她和我的肩膀一 14 【听力原文】 I have to catch Flight 437 leaving at 6:45 p.m. for San Francisco.

47、h Flight 437 leaving at 6： 45 P m for San Francisco ”，重点听清两个数字信息，航班号和起飞时间。 C选项为正确选项。 15 【听力原文】 When it comes to helping his wife in the kitchen, he never grumbles. 15 【正确答案】 A 【试题解析】 同义替换。根据原文 “When it comes to helping his wife in the kitchen， he never grumbles， ”，译文为：当提到帮助妻子在厨房干活，他从来都不抱怨。此题关键在于 gru
48、mble的词义，意思是：牢骚、抱怨、嘟囔地说，所以A选项为正确选项，用 complaint代替原句的 grumble的意思。固定搭配 When it comes to，译文为：当提到 16 【听力原文】 She could have closed the garage door. 16 【正确答案】 B 【试题解析】 虚拟语气。根据原文 “She could have closed the garage door ”，该句是虚拟语气，译文为：她本来能关上车库的门。虚拟语气表示与事实相反，所以事实是 “她没有关车库的门 ”，所以选 B。 17 【听力原文】 He kept up his old
49、car because new ones are so expensive. 17 【正确答案】 A 【试题解析 】 固定搭配。根据原文 “He kept up his old car because new ones are so expensive ”，译文为：因为新车太贵了，所以他保存旧车。此题关键在于理解固定搭配 keep up，意思是：保持良好状态，保存，所以选 A， maintain意思是：维持，继续。 B选项为 “他计划把旧车换掉 ”， replace意思是：代替，替换； C选项为 “他丢掉了旧车 ”， discard意思是：丢弃，抛弃； D选项为 “他修理了旧车 ”。 18 【听力原文】 How disappointed my mother was when I showed her my homework! 18 【正确答案】 D 【试题解析】 理解推断。根据原文 “How disappointed
