What do we learn about the change in Italys fashion industry? 1 【正确答案】 A 【试题解析】 对话开头男士说： “欢迎你来到我们的节目。 ”可见对话发生在节目演播室，故答案为 A。长对话开始处的寒喧中往往揭示对话
15、的场景 (时间、地点、人物关系等 )。 【知识模块】 听力 2 【正确答案】 B 【试题解析】 动词不定式选项，本题有可能问目的、计划等。 A、 B有关 “住多久 ”； C、 D涉及 “工作 ”，容易区分。其中 A、 B内容相关，并有矛盾含义，故应该是听音时辨别的重点。根据录音，女士说她刚去佛罗伦萨时本打算在那里待上六个月， B中的 haft a year即录音中 six months的同义表达，因此 B正确。 【知识模块】 听力 3 【正确答案】 A 【试题解析】 动词的一 ing形式选项，问题与 “做什么 ”有关。女士说她自从 1988年之后就已经是自由设计师，随后又说她为多家公司设计 f
16、ashion items，故答案应是 A。对话中多处表明女士是位设计师，故也可从主要动词 designing选出 A。 【知识模块】 听力 4 【正确答案】 B 【试题解析】 选项均以 it作主语，对 it的描述使用了 decline， competitive， lost customers， attracted designers等，估计是指某个 “行业 ”。要注意听对话中包含的关键词。男士问： “1982年以来意大利的时装业有什么变化吗 ?”女士回答说： “当然有变化，现在竞争更激烈了。 ”因此 B正确， B中的 competitive是原词再现。长对话题中，有时提问方式与对话中的问题一样
17、，若注意听相应的回答，即可轻松解题。 【知识模块】 听力 5 【听力原文】 M: Hi, Ann! Welcome back! How was your trip to the States? W: Very busy. I had a lot of meetings, so, of course, I didnt have much time to see New York. M: What a pity! Actually, Ill have a trip there myself next week. W: Do you? Then take my advice, do the well
18、-being in the air program. It really works. M: Oh, I read about that in a magazine. You say it works? W: Yes, I did the program on the flight to the States, and when I arrived in New York, I didnt have any problem, no jet lag at all. On the way back, I didnt do it, and I felt terrible. M: Youre joki
19、ng! W: Not at all, it really made a lot of difference. M: Em. So, what did you do? W: Well, I didnt drink any alcohol or coffee, and I didnt eat any meat or rich food. I drank a lot of water, and fruit juice, and I ate the meals on the well-being menu. Theyre lighter. They have fish, vegetables, and
20、 noodles, for example, and I did some of the exercises in the program. M: Exercises? On a plane? W: Yes. I didnt do many, of course. There isnt much space on a plane. M: How many passengers did the exercises? W: Not many. M: And how much champagne did they drink? W: A lot! It was more popular than m
21、ineral water. M: So, basically, its a choice. Mineral water and exercises, or champagne and jet lag. W: Thats right! Its a difficult choice. 5. Why did the woman go to New York? 6. What does the woman say about the well-being in the air program? 7. What did the woman do to follow the well-being menu
22、? 8. What did the woman say about other passengers? 5 【正确答案】 B 【试题解析】 选项均是动词不定式，一般可能问打算或者目的。女士说她的纽约之行很忙： “我开了很多会，所以没有什么时间好好看看纽约。 ”所以答案是 B。在长对话中，常常是听到什么选什么。对话的第一个话轮引导出话题，往往是出题之处。 【知识模块】 听力 6 【正确答案】 D 【试题解析】 选项都以 it can开头，可预测本题问 it的作用和功能。根据选项内容， it与 air travel有关。女士先是说 well-being很有效 (works)，然后具体说明其功效：
23、“在去纽约的 航班上我做了 (well-being)，到纽约后我没感到任何问题。而在回来时没有做，结果感觉糟透了。 ”因此答案是 D。根据女士对做 well-being的效果的描述 (“not have any problems”和 “feel terrible”对比 )，可得出正确答案。备选的干扰项都与对话的主旨无关。 【知识模块】 听力 7 【正确答案】 D 【试题解析】 根据选项中的 meals、 champagne、 vegetables and fruit、 fish or meat、 food等，可知本题与饮食有关。 此外，选项都含动词的过去式，推测本题问做了什么。听到对话中的一方
24、问 “What did you do?”时，要注意听回答。女士说： “我不喝酒和咖啡，不吃肉和油腻的食物。喝大量的水和果汁，还吃了 well-being菜单上列出的膳食。它们比较清淡。 ”D中的 Avoided rich food对应录音中的 not rich和 lighter，故答案是 D。 【知识模块】 听力 8 【正确答案】 C 【试题解析】 选项的主语都是 (not)many of them，猜测本题问 them做了什么。听到男士问 “How many people did the exercises?”时，要注意听回答。女士说 “没有多少人 ”做这个运动，故答案是 C。 【知识模块】
25、 听力 Section B 9 【听力原文】 A beetle invasion in the United States has killed at least twenty million ash trees. The invasion of the emerald ash borer was first discovered near Detroit, Michigan. Experts believe the small green insects arrived in the 1990s in shipments of goods from East Asia. The emeral
26、d ash borer has destroyed trees in the Midwest and as Far East in the United States as Maryland. The insects have also spread as far north as Ontario, Canada. Ash trees can resist many diseases. But they cannot resist the emerald ash borer. It lays eggs on the bark. The young larva drill into and fe
27、ed on the inner bark. This harms the ability of the tree to transport water and nutrition. In some places, farmers are using “detection trees“. They have an area where bark has been cut away. The area circles the tree. The process weakens the tree. It makes them easier targets for borers, and shows
28、if the insects are nearby. Efforts to stop the spread of the emerald ash borer include cutting down affected trees. There are worries that the ash tree might disappear unless the invasion is controlled. To prepare for such a possibility, a government laboratory is asking people to send in the seeds
29、from ash trees. It examines and x-rays the seeds to make sure there are no living borer fertilized eggs. Only the best seeds are remained and then sent for storage in a seed bank. There, they are dried and frozen. Should the seeds ever be needed, the hope is that scientists might someday develop an
30、ash tree that could resist the little green attackers. 9. How did the emerald ash borers go to the United States according to experts? 10. How far do the insects spread northward? 11. Why is part of the bark cut away? 12. What is the government laboratory trying to do? 9 【正确答案】 B 【试题解析】 短文提到，专家认为这种绿
31、色的白蜡虫是在上世纪 90年代跟着从东亚装运的货物到达美国的，故选 B。这种昆虫确实是在底特律首次发现的，但A中的 original表明是当地原始的昆虫，故不对。 C中的 Midwest和 Far East以及 D中的 shipments和 Ontario均可从短文中听到，但它们只是利用原词干扰。 【知识模块】 听力 10 【正确答案】 D 【试题解析】 四个选项均是地名，可猜测题目与地点有关。短文说，白蜡虫向北扩散至 Ontario， Canada。故 D是正确答案。 A说的 Michigan是美国首次发现这种昆虫的地方， B中的 Asia是该昆虫的来源地， C说的 Maryland是美国东
32、部遭受虫害的其中一个州，皆非题目所问。 【知识模块】 听力 11 【正确答案】 C 【试题解析】 从选项可以初步猜测题目与树木和昆虫有关。短文说，白蜡虫是在树上产卵，孵出的幼虫钻到内层树皮吸取营养，故把部分树皮削去会使树更容易成为攻击的目标，当白蜡虫来袭时就能有所发觉。故 C是正确答案。 【知识模块】 听力 12 【正确答案】 B 【试题解析】 选项均以动词原形开头，可以初步猜测题目与行动、建议或措施有关。短文说，实验室对种子进行检查和照 X光射线，确保没有白蜡虫的受精卵，只有最好的才被保存起来。故答案是 B。 【知识模块】 听力 13 【听力原文】 Majestic, serene.
