16、到女士的简历上写明她曾是 Computer Country商场的经理，故选 B。录音自始至终都没有提及 director“主管 ”、 sales clerk“销售员 ”、 accountant“会计 ”，故可排除 A、C、 D这几项。符合长对话中 “听到什么选什么 ”的技巧。 【知识模块】 长对话 2 【正确答案】 A 【试题解析】 从选项预测本题与具体工作任务相关，属于细节匹配题。男士询问女士在上 份工作中最困难的任 务是什么，女士回答是 “应付愤怒的顾客 ”。顾客生气就会投诉，故选 A。录音中只提及，她要 oversee“监督 ”30名员工，并不负责招聘和培训新员工， B与此不符。她还要
17、“订货 ”而不是 “发货 ”， C错误。 D没有提及。注意听力往往会在语义强调处出题，如本题中的 the most。 【知识模块】 长对话 3 【正确答案】 D 【试题解析】 从选项预测本题问 she的打算。本长对话的内容是工作面试，结合选项，考生可大胆预测题目询问的是为何要换新工作，这是应聘者必须正面回答面试官的问题。男士询问女士离职并想找新工 作的原因，女士回答说因为她的丈夫将调至波士顿工作，而她获悉这家公司在波士顿也有职位空缺，故选 D。 A、 C两项女士没有提及。虽然她提到了父母，但她只是说在到新公司上班之前，还有点时间，她会去看她父母，选项 B只是利用录音中的个别原词进行干扰。 【知
18、识模块】 长对话 4 【正确答案】 C 【试题解析】 从选项预测本题问时间。男士跟女士说下月初她才可以开始上岗，这是否会对她有影响，女士回答说没有影响，故选 C。 “听到什么选什么 ”， A、B、 D在对话中找不到依据。 【知识模块】 长对话 5 【听力 原文】 W: Right, well, in the studio this morning, for our interview spot is Peter Wilson. Peter works for Green Peace. So, Peter, welcome. M: Thanks a lot. Its good to be her

Im the action organizer and arrange any protests. W: Right! A pretty important role, Peter. What sort of protest would you organize? M: Well, recently w
21、eve been involved in anti-nuclear campaigns. I personally arranged for the demonstration against radioactive waste dumping in the Atlantic Ocean. Weve got a few small Green Peace boats that we harass the dumping ships with. W: Say? Hold on, Peter. I thought you said your organization was non-violent
22、. What do you mean by “harass“? M: Well, we circle round and round the ships and get in the way when they try to dump the drums of nuclear waste in the sea. We talk to the men and try to change, you know, yell at them to stop. We generally make ourselves as much of a nuisance as possible. W: Well, p
23、eople may think differently of your methods but theres no doubt youre doing a great job. Keep it up and good luck. And thanks for talking with us. M: Thanks for having me. 1. What is the mans chief responsibility in the Green Peace organization? 2. What has Green Peace been involved in recently? 3.
24、How does Green Peace try to stop people from dumping nuclear waste? 4. What is the womans attitude towards the Green Peaces campaigns? 5 【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。 organiz
25、er和 arrange any protests信息与选项 A一致。 【知识模块】 长对话 6 【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 organize?)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】 长对话 7 【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
26、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】 长对话 8 【正确答案】 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
27、而误选 C“冷淡的，不关心的 ”。 【知识模块】 长对话 9 【听力原文】 W: Tell me, Peter. What makes Harolds so famous? M: Well, its the biggest department store in the UK, and its food hall and Egyptian hall are very famous.

They buy a hundred tons every year. W: Thats amazing, and why is the Egyptian hall so famous? M: Well, when p
29、eople see it they feel theyre in another world. It looks like an Egyptian building from 4000 years ago, and it sells beautiful objects. 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
30、 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 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? Well, on averag
31、e, customers spend about 1.5 million pounds a day. The record for one day is 9 million pounds. W: 9 million pounds in one day? M: Yes, on the first day of the January sales. W: Harolds says it sells everything to everybody everywhere. Is that really true? M: Oh, yes, of course. Absolutely everything
32、. 5. 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 surprising about Harolds? 8. About how many customers come to Harolds on an average day? 9 【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 foo
33、d hall即可得出答案是 B。 【知识模块】 长对话 10 【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， 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】 长对话 11 【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
34、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】 长对话 12 【正确答案】 B 【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】 长对话 13 【听力原文】 M: Hello, and welcome to our program “Working Abroa
35、d“. Our guest this evening is a Londoner who lives and works in Italy. Her names Susan Hill. Susan, welcome to the program. You live in Florence. How long have you been living there? W: Since 1982. But when I went there in 1982, I planned to stay for only 6 months. M: Why did you change your mind? W
36、: Well, Im a designer. I design leather goods, mainly shoes and handbags. Soon after I arrived in Florence, I got a job with one of Italys top fashion houses, Ferregamo. So, I decided to stay. M: How lucky! Do you still work for Ferregamo? W: No, Ive been a freelance designer for quite a long time n
37、ow. Since 1988, in fact. M: So does that mean you design for several different companies now? W: Yes, thats right. Ive designed many fashion items for a number of Italian companies, and in the last four years, Ive also been designing for the British company Burberrys. M: What have you been designing
38、 for them? W: Mostly handbags and small leather goods. M: Has the fashion industry in Italy changed since 1982? W: Oh, yes. Its become a lot more competitive, because the quality of products from other countries has improved a lot. But Italian quality and design is still world-famous. M: And do you
39、ever think of returning to live in England? W: No, not really. Working in Italy is more interesting. I also love the Mediterranean sun and the Italian life style. M: Well, thank you for talking to us, Susan. W: It was a pleasure. 1. Where does this talk most probably take place? 2. What was the woma
40、ns original plan when she went to Florence? 3. What has the woman been doing for a living since 1988? 4. What do we learn about the change in Italys fashion industry? 13 【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。长对话开始处的寒暄中往往揭示对话的场景 (时间、地点、人物关系等 )。 【知识模块】 长对话 14 【正 确答案】 B 【试题解析】 动词不定
41、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 half a year即录音中 six months的同义表达，因此 B正确。 【知识模块】 长对话 15 【正确答案】 A 【试题解析】 动词的 -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 fashion 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 desi
42、gning选出 A。 【知识模块】 长对话 16 【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，若注意听相应的回答，即可轻松解题。 【知识模块】 长对话 17 【听力原文】 M: Hi,
43、Ann! Welcome back! How was your trip to the States? W: Very busy.5I 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-being in the air program. It really works. M
44、: 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 joking! W: Not at all, it really made a lot of di
45、fference. 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 noodles, for example, and I did some of the
46、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 mineral water. M: So, basically, its a choice.
47、 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? 8. What did the woman say about other passe
48、ngers? 17 【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】 长对话 18 【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： “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
49、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】 长对话 19 【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】 长对话 20 【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
