33、ture. In 1779 English architect Thomas Pritchard designed the first structure built entirely of cast iron: Ironbridge, a bridge over the River Severn in England. At around the same time, another Englishman experimented with a compound of lime, clay, sand, and iron slag (矿渣 ) to produce concrete. Iro
34、n had been used since ancient time to tie building elements together, but after the construction of Ironbridge it took on a new role as a primary structural material. (72)Builders throughout Europe and North America began to set up houses with beams of iron instead of wood. (73)One of the most spect
35、acular examples of early iron construction was the Crystal Palace in London, England. Spreading over 18 acres, the building consisted entirely of screens of glass set within iron frames. Paxton adapted two major features of the architecture of the Crystal Palace: mass production (in the manufactured
36、 glass screens and iron frames) and the use of iron rather than traditional stones or brick. He managed to erect this vast building in less than six months, a project he accomplished by detailed planning.

There are 5 recorded dialogues in it. After each dialogu
38、e, there is a recorded question. The dialogues and the questions will be spoken only once. When you hear a question, you should decide on the correct answer from the 4 choices A , B, C, and D. 1 【听力原文】 M: What a beautiful house! Did you paint it? W: No, I had the painter do it. Q: What does the woma
39、n mean? 1 【正确答案】 C 【试题解析】 关键在于听懂 “No, I had the painter do it.”这一句。其中 “have sb.do sth”是一个固定搭配，意思是请某人干某事，所以，房子是 woman请油漆工来刷的。 2 【听力原文】 W: The car is broken down again and it refused to move. M: Well have to call Mr. Smith right away. Q: What job does Mr. Smith probably have? 2 【正确答案】 B 【试题解析】 结合两个人的对
40、话来做。先抓住第 句 Woman所说的 “The car is broken down again and it refused to move.”得知车已经坏了。 “break down”是 个固定搭配，意思是 “ 坏了 ”。同时，根据 “it refused to move.”也可推出车坏了。这样就知道 Man说要马上去请的 Mr Smith是汽车修理工，即机械师。 3 【听力原文】 M: I need to post this letter. W: Would you mind wait a minute please? Q: Where is the conversation prob
41、ably taking place? 3 【正确答案】 A 【试题解析】 只要听清第一句 “I need to post this letter.”或句中的关键词 “post”或“letter”就可找对答案。 4 【听力原文】 M: This train was supposed to get to Wuhan at nine oclock. W: Nine oclock but its already nine-thirty! Q: What does the woman mean? 4 【正确答案】 C 【试题解析】 要抓住关键的两个时间概念。一个是 “at nine oclock”，另一
42、个是“nine-thirty”。同时，详细分析二者的前后关系，关键听懂 “its already”。这样就可以确定 “nine oclock”在前。即火车晚点了，他们抵达武汉也会很晚。 5 【听力原文】 M: The man at the gate thinks that I take good care of my car. W: Why does he think that? M: He couldnt see any dirty spots on the outside and the inside is clean, too. Q: What do you learn about th
43、e man? 5 【正确答案】 A 【试题解析】 抓住两个短语，一个是听力材料中的 “take good care of”和另一个是选择项 A中的 “in good condition”(意思是状况良好 )。如果没有抓住上述材料，应重点听清 “He couldnt see any dirty spots”这一部分，尤其是 dirty spot这几个词。 6 【听力原文】 M: May I please try some of these bananas? W: Not now, there are just enough for lunch. Q: What does the woman me
44、an? 6 【正确答案】 C 【试题解析】 只要听懂 “there are just enough for lunch.”，并且知道是 bananas比较 enough就行了。 7 【听力原文】 W: Dont you feel responsible for the mess? M: Why should I? I have to authority. Q: How docs the man feel about the problem? 7 【正确答案】 B 【试题解析】 该对话有一定的难度。重点在于听懂第二个人的话 “Why should I? I have no authority.”
45、，并结合第一句中的 “feel responsible for the mess”得出重点在于对短语 have no authority的理解上。 authority的意思有： “权威；威信；权威人士；权力；职权 ”等，所以他没有任何权利，无法对该事负责。 8 【听力原文】 M: I was surprised to see Kate using that microphone you were going to throw away. W: Yes. its very old. That she got it to work surprises me. Q: What does the wo
46、man mean? 8 【正确答案】 D 【试题解析】 用排除法来做比较好。首先根据第一句中的 “microphone you were going to throw away.”得知 microphone还没有被扔掉可排除 C。然后从 “That she got it to work surprises me.”排除 B项并结合 “I was surprised to see Kate using that”中的 using可推出 D项为正确答案。 A项与本题无关，故略去。 9 【听力原文】 W: You seem very tired lately. M: Its my new job.
47、Its hard work, and the hours are long. Q: Why is the man tired? 9 【正确答案】 A 【试题解析】 只要听懂对话中的 “Its hard work”或 “the hours are long.”任何一处就行了。 10 【听力原文】 W: What will the film start? M: Its planned to begin at 9:00 oclock, and now its 8:45. Q: How long will they wait till the film starts? 10 【正确答案】 A 【试题解
48、析】 重点在于时间上。一定要抓住两个时间 “at 9:00 oclock”和 “now its 8:45.”，然后进行比较，作减法得出时间差。 Section B Directions: This section is to test your ability to understand short conversations.
