M: Well, we circle round and round the ships and get in the way when they try to dump the drums of nucl

15、1 【正确答案】 A 【试题解析】 根据选项，可以预测本题询问某人的工作内容。男士说他在 “绿色和平 ”组织主要负责协调和组织抗议活动，故选 A。根据女士对信息点 (tell us something about Green Peace and your job there)的提示，听音时注意其所指的内容是什么。 organizer和 arrange any protests信 息与选项 A一致。 【知识模块】 听力 2 【正确答案】 C 【试题解析】 男士说近期该组织参与了反核污染的活动，故选 C。根据女士所问问题 (What sort of protest would you organi
16、ze?)的提示，听到男士说 anti-nuclear campaigns时，直接选择 C。符合长对话 “听到什么选什么 ”的原则。 【知识模块】 听力 3 【正确答案】 A 【试题解析】 从选项预测本题询问的是通过何种途径实现某一目的。男士在采访中说该组织划船围着丢弃核污染物 的船只转圈，不断干扰对方，从而试图阻止其丢弃核污染物的行为。虽然 harass一词有点难懂，但是由于男士专门做了解释，并且此词反复出现，故不难选出 A为答案。在对话中反复提及的关键词往往是听音重点。对话中，男士专门对 harass做了解释，同时这也符合长对话 “听到什么选什么 ”的原则。 【知识模块】 听力 4 【正确答
17、案】 D 【试题解析】 从选项预测本题询问的是态度。女士在采访结束时说人们可能对该组织做事的方式持不同看法，但他们做的事情很了不起，希望他们继续并祝他们好运，故选 D。长对话的结尾处常设 考点。当听到女士说 doing a great job， keep it up时，推断她持支持态度。不要被录音中的 differently干扰而误选 C“冷淡的，不关心的 ”。 【知识模块】 听力 5 【听力原文】 W: Tell me, Peter. What makes Harolds so famous? M: Well, its the biggest department store in the

19、tomers also love all the different kinds of chocolate. They buy a hundred tons every year. W: Thats amazing, and why is the Egyptian hall so famous? M: Well, when people see it they feel theyre in another world. It looks like an Egyptian building from 4000 years ago, and it sells beautiful objects.
20、They are not 4000 years old, of course. W: Is it true that Harolds produces its own electricity? M: Yes, it does. 70%. Enough for a small town. To light the outside of the building, we use 11,500 light bulbs. W: Really? Tell me, how many customers do you have on an average day? And how much do they
21、spend? M: About 30,000 people come on an average day. But during the sales, the number increases to 300,000 customers a day. How much do they spend?

What is the food hall of Harolds noted for? 6. What does the Egyptian hall seem like to the customers? 7. What may customers find s
23、urprising about Harolds? 8. About how many customers come to Harolds on an average day? 5 【正确答案】 B 【试题解析】 男士说： “那里 (食品厅 )销售很多种类的食物。 ”故 B正确。在此关键是要知道 it的所指，听到题目询问 food hall即可得出答案是 B。 【知识模块】 听力 6 【正确答案】 A 【试题解析】 两个选项出现 Egyptian，因此听内容时要注意对该词保持敏感。男士说： “他们置身其中会认为自己在另外一个世界。它看上去像是 4000年前的建筑。 ”因此这个建筑很像是古建筑，
24、A与此相符。听到 “why is the Egyptian hall so famous”这一问题时，要注意问题的回答。因此听到 “4000 years”时已经可以判断出答案为 A。 【知识模块】 听力 7 【正确答案】 D 【试题解析】 男士提到 “Harolds所使用的电中 70是自己发的，该电力足够一个城镇使用的 ”，答案为 D。 Is it true 这种句型在采访中往往表示该问题比较令人吃惊或难以置信，故要注意对该问题的回答。因此听到 “Yes， it does 70 ”时可推断答案应为 D。 generate为 produce的同义替换。 【知识 模块】 听力 8 【正确答案】 B
25、 【试题解析】 男士说： “来 Harolds的顾客平均每天可达大约 30000人。 ”B正确。 A是 light bulbs的数量， D是大减价时可能达到的顾客人数。 【知识模块】 听力 Section B 9 【听力原文】 There is no doubt that adults, and even highly educated adults, vary greatly in the speed and efficiency of their reading. Some proceed very slowly throughout; others dash along too quic
26、kly and then have to go back again. Poor readers in particular may lack the ability to vary their manner of reading according to the type of reading matter and their intentions in reading it. A good reader can move at a great speed through the text of a novel or similar light reading matter. In read
27、ing more difficult material, with the intention of taking in the whole of it, he will proceed more slowly, but even then he will vary his pace, concentrating on the key words and passages, re-reading them several times or passing more quickly over the remainder. A less efficient reader tends to main
28、tain the same speed whatever the material he reads. Therefore, even light reading matter gives him little pleasure because he reads so slowly. But this pace may be too fast for really difficult material which requires special concentration at difficult points. A type of reading which needs careful a
29、ttention to detail is proofreading. In order to detect misprints in a sample print, the reader neednt notice so much the meaning of what he reads as the exact shape and order of words in the text. This is extremely difficult for most people, since they are used to ignoring such details. In fact, con
30、siderable practice is required to practise this task efficiently and it can be done only by reading very slowly, and by paying comparatively little attention to the general meaning of the text. 9. What idea does the speaker mainly want to convey? 10. How do good readers read a novel? 11. What is typ
31、ical of inefficient readers in terms of reading speed? 12. What does proofreading require? 9 【正确答案】 D 【试题解析】 录音开头就提出，成年人阅读的速度和效率是很不相同的，甚至连受过高等教育的成年人也如此。然后从影响速度和效率的两个因素 (content与purpose)着手分析了阅读的速度，故 D为正确答案。录音开头对比的 是受过高等教育的成年人的阅读速度，没有提到低学历者的阅读速度，故排除 C。 B中的proofreading skill只在录音结尾部分提到，是细节而非主旨。录音中没提及lis
32、tening，故排除 A。 【知识模块】 听力 10 【正确答案】 A 【试题解析】 根据选项中的 text、 reading、 move fast、 vary speed、 concentrate on、 re-read等关键词，推测本题可能跟某类人的阅读特点或方式有关。短文提到，一个好的读者会在读小说或类似的轻松读物时快速阅读， A是对 move at a great speed的同义替换，故选 A。 B中的 “变换阅读速度 ”、 C中的 “专注于关键词 ”和 D提到的 “重读 ”都是在阅读较难的资料时的做法，可排除。 【知识模块】 听力 11 【正确答案】 B 【试题解析】 录音中提到，
33、对于低效率的读者 (less efficient readers)而言，不管是哪种阅读材料他们阅读的速度往往是保持不变的。因此，阅读轻松读物几乎无法令他们得到快乐，因为读得太慢。但对于严肃读物而言，在难点处特别需要集中注意力，而这样的速度又太快。由此推断， B为正 确答案。 【知识模块】 听力 12 【正确答案】 D 【试题解析】 短文提到，为了找出印刷样本中的打印错误，读者不必过多注意读物的意义，而应更多注意文本中文字的准确形式和顺序。故 D为正确答案。 A具有一定的干扰性， A中的 ignoring“忽视 ”与录音末尾提到的 paying comparatively little atte
34、ntion to“相对更不注意 ”意思不同，故 A不正确。 B和 C与录音内容相悖。 【知识模块】 听力 13 【听力原文】 Twenty-five years ago, Ray Anderson, a single parent with a one-year-old son, was returning home at Christmas Eve when he witnessed a horrible accident.
