M: Today well discuss volcanoes. Can you tell me the most dangerous thing about a volcano? W: I think the
32、most dangerous hazard of a volcano comes from the lava that flows out of it. M: Good guess. Although your answer makes sense, the biggest killer from a volcano comes from the ash, not the lava.

33、 reduces sunlight and can start heavy rainfalls that lead to mudslides. Did you know that it only takes 30 centimeters of dry ash to collapse a roof of a building?

36、s and are they easy to find? M: By and large, most people would not be able to recognize a super volcano. Like an iceberg, the larger part of a volcano is hidden. W: Professor, if the volcano hasnt erupted then how do scientists know what might happen? M: Well, the scientists are relying on past inf

W: Maybe, it is longer actually, it could be more, like ten minutes. I am not sure. M: Do you know if there is a bus stop there
41、? W: Yes, the bus stop is in front of the pool, but bus service is quite slow during the day. M: Are the tennis courts in good condition? W: Yes, this university is very lucky to have such sports facilities. M: Thats what Ive heard. Did a rich person donate some money? W: Yes, about 5 or 6 years ago
42、, the rumor is that a famous hockey player left millions of dollars to build a new sports complex. 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
43、 meeting a friend at the tennis courts in fifteen minutes, so Id better be going. W: Yes, you should. Now that I think about it, it may be close to twenty minutes walk to get there. 12.

What is the man trying to do? 14 【正确答案】 B 【试题解析】 女士最初指路时说只要 5分钟，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 15 【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 16 【正确答案】 D 【试题解析】 此题为明示信息，看到选项就可以预测，问的是一种游戏或者运动。女士说自己喜欢打桥牌 (bridge)，故选 D。做题时注意排除 hockey引起的干扰。 【知识模块】 长对话 17 【正确答案】 C 【试题解析】 行动计划题。开头男士就问女士网球场在哪里，最后又说自 己和朋友约好 15分钟后见面，选 C。 【知识模块】 长对话
