26、9 【听力原文】 You probably dont have much in the way of savings, and with all your expenses, it doesnt look like youll be able to improve that situation soon.

27、for forty years, and when you are set to retire, youll find your account is short by 190,000 dollars. Grab a calculator and youll discover that, over forty years, going out to dinner twice a month at forty dollars each time amounts to half a million. Even a pack-a-day cigarette habit will lighten yo
28、ur retirement account by 330,000 dollars. And the same with cable TV and those cool earrings. They will probably amount to as much as one million. So, the first clue to accumulating wealth is this: focus on your spending habits. Here are a couple of tricks to help you save even if you swear you cant

32、spending habits，可以判断 B为答案。符合 “听到什么选什么 ”以及 “反复提及处常考 ”的解题原则，听音时要做好记录。 10 【正确答案】 B 【试题解析】 细节题。听音关键在于抓住 pack-a-daycigarette habit一词，记录其对应的数字 330,000，可知 B为答案。 11 【正确答案】 D 【试题解析】 细节题。短文提到，每个月在支付账单之前，先 向共有资金投资25美元。 D几乎照搬原文，故正确。四个选项都表示一种省钱的办法，注意要边听边在选项旁做相应记录。此外， mutual funds反复提及，一定要给予重视。 12 【听力原文】 To finish

34、there: there are organized coach trips from most towns in the area but they leave early and come home very late, so I drove.

35、rowded, so you sometimes have a long wait The shopping centre is arranged on three levels. Youll find all your favorites here. In fact if you want to buy a pair of shoes there are 15 different shops to choose from on levels one and two. When you run out of money there are seven different banks, but
36、collect your money before you get to the third level as there arent any banks up there. On that level however, there are several restaurants, as well as a cinema with seven screens. And dont get lost like I did, go to the information desk on the first level and get a map. Before you go back to your

38、hem. 12. When was the shopping center opened? 13. What is the best way of traveling to Waterside according to the speaker? 14. What can you do on the third level? 15. Apart from shopping, what else can you do at Waterside? 12 【正确答案】 B 【试题解析】 细节题。文章详细说明了购物中心的情况；花费三年打造，终于在三个星期前正式营业，比预期晚了两个月，故选 B。听音关键在
39、于抓住主要时间点， two months ago是计划开业的时间，并非实际时间，故 C错。 13 【正确答案】 C 【试题解析】 推断题。短文提到自行驾车前往是最好的选择，而且该购物中心提供 12000个免费停车位，可推断 C是最佳答 案。短文提到专线车出发早，回来晚；巴士又很拥挤；火车站离购物中心太远等缺点，故 A、 B、 D都可排除。 14 【正确答案】 B 【试题解析】 推断题。文章提及了购物中心有三层，第三层里有餐馆和电影院，可推断 B正确。表转折之处常出考题，因此听到 however就要注意。三楼没有银行；买鞋子是在一楼和二楼，故 C、 D错误， A在原文并无提及。 15 【正确答案
40、】 A 【试题解析】 细节题。短文最后提供了一些建议。包括散步、钓鱼、帆船运动、冲浪等等。 A是其中一项。故正确。举例处常考，考生要特别留意，凡听 到并列举例之处，就要开始做笔记了。虽然短文提及 see thelake，但是那不是在车上看的，因此强干扰项 B错误。 Section C 16 【听力原文】 For more than two centuries, Americas colleges and universities have been the backbone of the countrys progress. They have educated the technical,
41、managerial and professional work force and provided generation after generation of national leaders. Today, educators from around the country are up to find many reasons for the excellence of American universities. But four historic Acts stand out as a turning point. First, education for the mass. I
42、n 1862, Congress enacted the Land Grant College Act, which essentially extended the opportunity of higher education to all Americans, including women and minorities. Each state was permitted to sell large tracts of federal land, and use the proceeds to endow at least one public college. Second, comp
43、etition breeds success. Over the years, the decentralization and diversity of the Americas colleges and universities have promoted competition for students and resources. Competitive pressure first arose during the Civil War when President Lincoln created the National Academy of Science to advise Co
44、ngress on any subject of science and art. The Academys impact really grew after World War II when a landmark report commissioned by the then president argued that it was the federal governments responsibility to provide adequate funds for basic research. Instead of being centralized in government la
45、boratories, scientific research became decentralized in American universities and generated increasing investment. It also gave graduate students research opportunities and helped spread scientific discoveries far and wide, to the benefit of industry, medicine and society as a whole. Thirdly, invest
46、ing in the future. The end of World War II saw the passage of the Servicemens Readjustment Act of 1944. The law, which provided for a college or vocational education for returning veterans, made the higher education system accessible in ways that were inconceivable in Europe, opening the doors of be
47、st universities to men and women who had never dreamed of going to college. Finally, promoting diversity. The creation of federal loan and subsidy programs as well as outright grants for college students brought much needed diversity to high education and further helped to democratize access. Since
48、its founding in 1965, the Federal Family Education Loan Program has funded more than 74 million student loans worth more than 180 billion dollars. 16. What has been the backbone of Americas progress? 17. Whose responsibility is to provide adequate funds for basic research? 18. Which law provided for
49、 a college or vocational education for returning veterans? 16 【正确答案】 A 【试题解析】 问题里 backbone指中坚力量，具有重要作用的意思。录音开头提到，美国大学历来是促进国家发展的中坚力量 (backbone)。 A项跟文章主题相关，又是全篇反复论述的主体。 B项 “重要和成功的国家领导人 ”， C项 “技术和管理方面的人才 ”和 D项 “顶尖专业人才 ”都是美国大学培养的，所以真正的促进力量是大学，因此排除 B、 C和 D项。 17 【正确答案】 B 【试题解析】 录音中指出，第二次世界大战后，由时任总统委托的报告中指出基础研究的经费 (funds for ba-sic research)由联邦政府提供。由此得出 B项为正确答案。 A项 “州政府 ”和 C项 “地方政府 ”是利用联邦 federal的词意设置干扰项，只要分清州 (state)下面可以有很多地方政府 (local)，联邦政府 (federal)凌驾于州政府之上，就能排除 A项和 C项； D项 “美国科学院 ”是从事科学研究的机构。 18 【正确答案】 D 【试题解析】 录音接着提到，第二次世界大战结束后，颁布了 1944年
