The head technician in the lab tried to persuade the hospital administration to replace it, but they are trying to cut costs. M: Youre pregnant, arent you? W: Yes, I am. I made an ef
18、fort to get my supervisor to transfer me to another department, but he urged me not to complain too loudly, because the administration is more likely to replace me than that x-ray equipment. Im afraid to refuse to work, but Im more afraid to expose my unborn child to the radiation. M: I see what you
19、 mean. Well, as your union representative, I have to warn you that it would take quite a while to force management to replace the old machines and attempts to get you transferred may or may not be successful. W: Oh, what am I supposed to do then? M: Workers have the legal right to refuse certain uns

22、【正确答案】 B 【试题解析】 在对话开头，女士抱怨医院无人听她申诉机器设备过时对身体造成伤害的问题。男士反问： “你是想说它 (机器设备过时 )会危害健康 ?”女士做了肯定的回答，故选 B。 A“医院管理不善 ”和 D中的 testing procedures“测试程序 ”与原文谈论的设备问题是两码事：实验室技术主管试图说服医院行政部门更换旧机器，并没有做任何决定，排除 C。注意抓听长对话的开头部分。 2 【正确答案】 A 【试题解析】 对话提到女士向主管提出转调部门的要求 (transferto ano ther department)，因此 A正确。女士的主管让她不要大声嚷嚷，因为医院有
23、可能让人顶替她的工作而不是更换 x光设备 (x-rayequipment)， B明显不对； C、 D对话中没有提到。此题适用长对话 “听到什么选什么 ”的技巧。 3 【正确答案】 D 【试题解析】 男士 (工会代表 )告诉女士，法律规定工人有权利拒绝某些不安全的工作任务，不过很难达到法律规定的要求。故选 D。 A“它们几乎不可能执行 ”属过度推断； B“两者都不适用于女士的情况 ”，对话没有提及是否适用： C“它们受到批评 ”。 “批评 ”没有原文依 据。 4 【正确答案】 C 【试题解析】 在对话末尾，男士说 “你要是真的丢了工作，工会帮你把工作要回来，同时帮你拿到欠薪 (backpay)”
24、，故选 C。 A“组织大规模罢工 ”没有任何原文依据； B“补偿她的损失 ”，公会不会补偿她的损失，而是会帮她要回工作和欠薪；D“帮她找到一份工资更高的工作 ”与原文的 get it back不符 . 5 【听力原文】 W: Mr. Green, is it fair to say that negotiation is an art? M: Well, I think its both an art and a science. You can prepare for a negotiation quite scientifically, but the execution of the n
25、egotiation has quite a lot to do with ones artistic quality. The scientific part of a negotiation is in determining your strategy. What do you want out of it? What can you give? Then of course there are tactics. How do you go about it? Do you take an opening position in a negotiation which differs f
26、rom the eventual goal you are heading for? And then of course there are the behavioral aspects. W: What do you mean by the behavioral aspects? M: Well, thats I think where the art comes in. In your behavior, you can either be an actor. You can pretend that you dont like things which you are actually
27、 quite pleased about. Or you can pretend to like things which you are quite happy to do without. Or you can be the honest type negotiator whos known to his partners in negotiation and always plays everything straight. But the artistic part of negotiation I think has to do with responding immediately
28、 to cues one gets in the process of negotiation. These can be verbal cues or even body language. This is where the artistic quality comes in. W: So really, you see two types of negotiator then, the actor or the honest one. M: That right. And both can work I would say the honest negotiator can be qui
29、te effective in some circumstances. In other circumstances you need an actor. 5. When is a scientific approach best embodied in a negotiation according to the man? 6. Why does the man say a negotiation is a science? 7. In what way is a negotiator like an actor according to the man? 8. What does the
30、man say about the two types of negotiator? 5 【正确答案】 D 【试题解析】 对话开头，男士说 “谈判既是一门艺术又是一门科学，你可以很科学地为一次谈判做准备 ”，故 D正确， preparatory与对话中的 prepare对应。A“在让步时 ”， B“在结尾部分 ”， C“在陈述你的条件时 ”，与男士所说不 符。 6 【正确答案】 B 【试题解析】 男士认为谈判既是一门艺术又是一门科学，然后解释说，你可以很科学系统地准备一个谈判，谈判的科学部分在于你要决定自己的策略和战术。 B项完整地表达原文的意思，为正确答案。 A“因为你能把科学应用于谈判 ”
31、以及D“因为你要做很多的学习和研究 ”都在原文中没有提及。 C“因为你能科学系统地执行谈判 ”有一定的干扰性，但是原文讲到的是，你可以很科学系统地准备一个谈判，但是执行谈判则需要一定的艺术。 7 【正确答案】 A 【试题解析】 男士说： “行为上你可以是个演员，你 可以假装不喜欢你实际上很喜欢的东西，或者假装喜欢你不喜欢的东西 ”，故 A正确。 B是谈判中诚实的做法，而不是演员化的做法；对话中提到，谈判艺术也与对谈判中得到的暗示立即做出反应有关， C将对话中的 cue“暗示 ”偷换成 the other partys proposals“另一方的提议 ”： D在对话中没有提及。 8 【正确答案
32、】 C 【试题解析】 在对话末尾处，男士说两种谈判方法都可行，某些情况下诚实法有效，某些情况下表演法有效，故 C正确。对话没有将两种谈判法进行比较，所以A、 B和 D都不对。长对话的结尾处往 往是考点。 Section B 9 【听力原文】 A scientific team is studying the thinking ability of eleven-and-a-half-month-old children. The test is a simple one. The baby watches a sort of show on a small stage. In Act I of
33、 the show, a yellow cube is lifted from a blue box and moved across the stage. Then it is returned to the box. This is repeated six times. Act II is similar, except that the yellow cube is smaller. Baby boys do not react at all to the difference in the size of the cube, but girls immediately become
34、excited. The scientists interpret the girls excitement as meaning they are trying to understand what they have just seen. They are wondering why Act II is odd and how it differs from Act I. In other words, the little girls are reasoning. This experiment certainly does not definitely prove that girls
35、 start to reason before boys. But it provides a clue that scientists would like to study more carefully. Already it is known that bones, muscles, and nerves develop faster in baby girls. Perhaps it is early nerve development that makes some infant girls show more intelligence than infant boys. Scien
36、tists have also found that nature seems to give another boost to girls. Baby girls usually talk at an earlier age than boys do. Scientists think that there is a physical reason for this. They believe that the nerve endings in the left side of the brain develop faster in girls than in boys. And it is
37、 this side of the brain that strongly influences an individuals ability to use language and remember things. 9. What is the difference between Act I and Act II in the test? 10. How do the scientists interpret their observation from the experiment? 11 . What does the speaker say about the experiment?
38、 12. According to scientists, what is another advantage given to girls by nature? 9 【正确答案】 B 【试题解析】 录音提到两次实验相似，只是第二次实验黄色的立方体小了些，即size有了变化，所以 B正确。 “立方体的形状 ”、 “盒子的重量 ”录音没有提到，排除 A、 D；两次实验都是重复了 6次，所以 C“实验过程中重复的次数 ”也排除。 10 【正确答案】 C 【试题解析】 录音提到，男婴对立方体的大小不同没有做出反应。而女婴则立即兴奋起来，科学家们把女婴的兴奋情绪解释为她们试图弄明白所看到的东西换句话说
39、，女婴们在思考，故 C正确。 A、 D录音没有提到男婴有这些特点：录音提到女婴看到立方体的变化而兴奋。但这是实验过程中观察到的现象，并非说话者想表达的内容，故排除 B。 11 【正确答案】 B 【试题解析】 录音提到，实验提供了一个线索，使科学家们想进行更为仔细的研究， B“它可能会激励科学家们做进一步研究 ”与此相符。 A、 C是利用录音中的nervedevelopment和 talk at an earlier age等信息设置无关干扰。 D“实验的发现与之前的研究相反 ”，录音中没有提及之前的研究。语义 “转折处 ”常考。 12 【正确答案】 D 【试题解析】 录音结尾提到，科学家们也发
40、现女孩子似乎天生还有一个优势，那就是她们比男孩子们更早学会说话，故 D正确。录音提到，女孩的左半脑发育得比男孩快，所以语言能力强，并没有说女孩的两侧大脑同时发育，所以 A错；文章没有提到适应环境的问题， B错；录音说女孩的骨骼发育更快，并没有说女孩的骨骼成熟更早，所以排除 C。 13 【听力原文】 A super attendant of the citys municipal building, Delia Sadorno, was responsible for presenting its new security plan to the public. City employees,
41、citizens and reporters gathered in the hall to hear her describe the plan. After outlining the main points she would cover, she assured the audience that she would be happy to answer questions at the end of her presentation. Delia realized the plan was expensive and potentially controversial. So she
42、 was not surprised to see a number of hands go up as soon as she finished speaking. An employee asked, “Would the new system create long lines to get into the building like the lines at airport security checks?“ Delia had anticipated this question and had an answer ready. After repeating the questio
43、n, she explained that the sufficient number of security guards would be working at peak hours to speed things along. The next question was more confrontational. “Where will the money come from to pay for all of this?“ The journalists who asked the question seemed hostile. But Delia was careful not t
44、o adopt a defensive tone. She stated that the money would come from the citys general budget. “I know these are tight times“, she added, “but everyone agrees on the importance of safeguarding our employees and members of the public who come into the building.“ Near the end of the 25 minutes she had
45、said, Delia said she would take two more questions. When those were finished, she concluded the session with a brief restatement of how the new system would improve security and peace of mind in the municipal building. 13. What is the focus of Delia Sadornos presentation ? 14. What question had Deli
46、a Sadorno anticipated? 15. What did the speaker think of the question from the journalist? 13 【正确答案】 A 【试题解析】 录音一开始就提到 Delia Sadorno要向公众介绍新的市政厅安全计划，故 A正确。 B中的 blueprint和 C中的 regulations，录音没有提及； D中的general budget出自下文的 “她陈述资金来自城市的总预算 ”，这是 Delia对现场提问的回答，不是她介绍的重点。 14 【正确答案】 C 【试题解析】 录音提到，有人问 “这种新的安检体系是否
47、会像机场的安检一样，形成很长的队伍等待安检 ?”Delia预料到有人会问这个问题，早就想好了如何答复 ，故 C“安检是否在高峰期会使人们排长队 ”正确。 A、 D都是用 security一词进行干扰；录音中观众是针对市政厅游客多时的安检情况提出质疑， B偷换了概念。 15 【正确答案】 D 【试题解析】 录音提到，第二个问题更有挑衅性 (moreconfrontational)，提问 “实施这个计划的钱从哪来 ”的记者似乎怀着敌意，故 D“挑衅的 ”正确。符合长对话“听到什么选什么 ”的原则。 irrelevant“不相干的 ”； straightforward“坦率的 ”；ridiculou
48、s“荒谬的 ”。 Section C 16 【听力原文】 Okay, weve been discussing films in the 1920s and 1930s, and how back then film categories, as we know them today, had not yet been established. We said that by todays standards, many of the films of the 20s and 30s would be considered hybrids, that is, a mixture of styl
49、es that wouldnt exactly fit into any of todays categories, and in that context. Today we are going to talk about a film-maker who began making very unique films in the late 1920s. He was French, and his name was Jean Painleve. Jean Painleve was born in 1902. He made his first film in 1928. Now in a way, Painleves films conform to norms of the 20s and 30s, that is, they dont fit very neatly into the categories we use to classify films today. That said, even by the standards of the 20s and 30s, Painleves films were unique, a hybrid of styles. He had a speci
