23、est reference to any of your former employers. W: Ill remember that.

W: I think the most dangerous hazard of a volcano comes from the lava that flows out of it. M: Good guess. Alt
28、hough your answer makes sense, the biggest killer from a volcano comes from the ash, not the lava. In fact, ash causes serious problems and can make humans and animals sick: it can even kill them. Ash also reduces sunlight and can start heavy rainfalls that lead to mudslides. Did you know that it on
29、ly takes 30 centimeters of dry ash to collapse a roof of a building? Ash also contaminates water supplies, and kills crops. As you can see, ash causes the most destruction. W: Professor, are there different sizes of volcanoes? M: Absolutely. There are ordinary volcanoes that can kill thousands of pe
30、ople and often destroy whole cities, and there are super volcanoes which are highly explosive and can kill billions of people and even destroy an entire continent.

How can scientists predict the future of volcanoes? 8 【正确答案】 B 【试题解析】 B是反复明确听到的信息。 A先被女士提及，但随即被男士否定。原文出现了最高级 the biggest killer，之后的内容就是答案所在。 【知识模块】 长对话 9 【正确答案】 A 【试题
34、解析】 A是提到 last eruption后听到的地点，为答案。对于对话中提及的时间、地点、数据、顺序应该特别注意，尽量记录在相关选项旁，如 B1， D2，分别表示在该地有 1、 2个 super volcanoes。 【知识模块】 长对话 10 【正确答案】 D 【试题解析】 D是男士最后一句话的同义概括。 【知识模块】 长对话 11 【听力原文】 M: Excuse me, could you please tell me how to get to the tennis courts?

W: Yes, about 5 or 6 years ago, the rumor is that a famous hockey player left millions of dollars to build a new sports complex.
38、 It was an anonymous donation actually. Im sorry to say, I almost never used it after my first year. Besides studying I took up cards I love playing bridge. M: Well, I hope to get in good shape here. Im meeting a friend at the tennis courts in fifteen minutes, so Id better be going. W: Yes, you shou

How did the university probably obtain the new sports facilities? 14. What is the womans favorite game? 15. What is the man trying to do? 11 【正确答案】 B 【试题解析】 女士最初指路时说只要 5分
40、钟，然后又说 10分钟，最后说恐怕要20分钟才能到男士要去的目的地，所以很没有距离观念，即 B。根据她所提供的其他信息可以排除 A和 C。 D实在是太讽刺了，故排除。本题虽然跨度较大，但是由于时间数据很容易捕捉并对比，不难总结出女士的距离观念差。 【知识模块】 长对话 12 【正确答案】 A 【试题解析】 选项是有关钱从哪里来的，关键是听对话中提到谁捐款，听到男士问 “Did a rich person ”后便要留心女士的回答。注意女士说的关键词 player和 anonymous donation。 【知识模块】 长对话 13 【正确答案】 D 【试题解析】 此题为明示信息，看到选项就可以预

42、and, increasingly, Chinese. They sit in circles, distracted by cuddly toys, at schools such as the Language Workshop in New York or informal groups organized by parents. There have been several studies that have found fl61advantages in starting children off in a new language at a young age. Research
43、ers dont know whether it is biological or social, but most children who learn a language before puberty seem to develop the ability to speak it as a native would. Francois who runs the Language Workshop, has created a line of linguistic software for young children. “Understanding comes long before s
44、peaking, and speaking before reading and writing. Thats the way we teach the languages,“ as Francois says. “And when we translate for children we actually add confusion: it is not necessary in our class. For clarity we have to repeat the word until the idea sinks in.“ Some parents fear that with all
45、 these different words and languages, their children will have a harder time picking up English or will get confused, but scientists have found no such disadvantage to being multilingual. There are emerging theories that the brain is designed to pick up multiple languages early in life, and that our
46、 current monolingual focus is actually a setback of the evolution. Some research shows, when people develop a window in which children can most readily absorb new languages, for the first 6 months of life, for example, babies can hear every sound from every language in the world. 16.
