26、的内容，不能选。 【知识模块】 长对话 6 【正确答案】 C 【试题解析】 女士接着问 Steve Bril的那些恶行持续了 5年，怎么突然决定要对他进行处理。男士回答，刚开始他们只 是认为 Steve Bril古怪而已，但经过这么多年才发现他其实很危险。由此可见，多年没逮捕 Steve Bril的原因是没清醒地意识到 Steve Bril的危险性，所以选 C项。 A项 “他贿赂门卫封口 ”、 B项 “人们对于他的行为看法不一 ”都没有录音依据，故排除。男士说他们刚开始只是认为他古怪而已， D项的 “精神疾病 ”过度夸大了 Steve Bril精神状态的恶劣程度，不能选。 【知识模块】 长对话

29、of all, the campaign was late. It missed two important trade fairs. The ads also did not appear in two key magazines. As a result, the campaign failed. Do you accept that summary of what happened? M: Well, the delay wasnt entirely our fault.2You did in fact make late changes to the specifications of
30、 the advertisements. W: Hmm. actually, you were late with the initial proposals, so we had very little time, and in fact, we only asked for small changes. M: Well, whatever, can we repeat our offer to run the campaign for four extra weeks? W: Thats not really the point. The campaign missed two key t
31、rade fairs because of this we are asking you either to repeat the campaign next year for free, or3we only pay 50% of the fee for this year.

34、agazines和 trade fairs胡乱拼凑而成。对话中女士抱怨 (男士公司安排的 )推广活动错过了两场重要的 “交易会 ”，广告也没有出现在主要的杂志上，故排除A、 B。 D中的 product design在对话中没有提到。 【知识模块 】 长对话 10 【正确答案】 B 【试题解析】 根据选项的 ad specifications， changes， payments等词，可推测题目与广告明细的修改有关，此外， B、 C两项均提到了女士公司的一些失误，因而听音时要特别留意。男士说活动受耽搁不只是自己公司方面的失误，女士所在的公司到最后还在对广告明细作出修改，这才耽搁了。 B与对话内
35、容一致。 A“没有给出详细的广告明细 ”、 C“女士的公司没有及时付款 ”、 D“举办活动的确很耗时间 ”，这几项内容对话中都没有提到。 【知识模块】 长对话 11 【正确答案】 B 【试题解析】 女士提出两种选择方案：一个是明年免费帮其举办推广活动；另一个就是只付 50的费用，故 B正确。 A中的 Extend“延续 ”与对话中 repeat the campaign for free不一致。 C是男士的建议，但女士没有采纳。 D错在数字，应为50%。 【知识模块】 长对话 12 【正确答案】 A 【试题解析】 四个选项都是动词短语，预测问题问某个建议。男士最后说 “我们休息一下吧，现在看来
36、不会有什么进展 ”， A“暂停目前的谈判 ”是对这句话的同义表达。 B“冷静下 来言和 ”、 D“改善促销计划 ”曲解了男士的意思；虽然他说双方得思考一下怎么办，但除了建议暂时休息一下以外，并没有提出具体方案， C“思考各自的失误 ”并非男士的说话内容。 【知识模块】 长对话 13 【听力原文】 W: You know, Ive often wondered why people laugh at the picture of a big belly businessman slipping on a banana skin and falling on his bottom. We are
37、to feel sorry for him. M: Actually, Laura, I think we laugh because we are glad it didnt happen to us.

41、lings. W: It must have come a bit expensive. M: Not really. She took care never to throw her best china. 5.

42、do many people find it funny to see someone throwing a custard pie on their bosss face? 8. Why did the mans aunt say she would throw cups of tea at people occasionally? 13 【正确答案】 D 【试题解析】 女士说人们看到一个大腹便便的商人踩在香蕉皮上滑倒会捧腹大笑，男士则解释：这是因为人们庆幸遇到倒霉事的不是自己，以及人们看到自大的人出洋相会有种 幽默的满足，故选 D。本题符合长对话 “听到什么选什么 ”的解题规则，当听到男士
43、评论说 But of course，即可发现 D项与之匹配，这时可做好标记，听到问题时进一步确认。 【知识模块】 长对话 14 【正确答案】 C 【试题解析】 根据选项中的 show sympathy、 had similar experiences、cope with the situation、 frustration等关键词，可预测本题与人们对某些事情的反应相关，其中涉及到挫折感、不知所措等心理。女士说还有很多关 于胖子和残疾人的笑话，但其实这是不可笑的。男士说这些笑话背后的原因也许是因为人们觉得别扭，不知该如何面对这些情况，有时人们甚至会害怕自己变成那样，才会用笑声掩盖担心，故选 C。
44、原因处常常出题，听到男士的话语中出现 thats because时要注意，其后往往会有考点。 C项与原文一致，符合长对话 “听到什么选什么 ”的解题规律。 【知识模块】 长对话 15 【正确答案】 A 【试题解析】 男士提到电影里经典搞笑场景之一是生气的员工拿起蛋糕扔到老板的脸上。女士分析说，人们看到此类场景发笑的原因可能是人 人都希望这么做却都没有勇气，故选 A。对话中男士提到 custard pie routine，接着女士询问该词的意思，多次提及之处往往是出题之处，听音时需留意。 【知识模块】 长对话 16 【正确答案】 C 【试题解析】 选项都是动词不定式短语，由此可预测本题为行为题，
45、内容和做某件事情的目的有关。本题为对话中最后一题，因此答案很可能在对话结尾处，男士说他有一位生气时爱扔茶杯的老姑姑，据她说这样做会让她感觉好受一些， C项与原文一致，故为答案。 【知识模块】 长对话 17 【听力原文】 W: Theres is an element there about competition though, isnt there?

46、rticular can of baked beans, you can go and buy another, but if you dont like a particular railway, you cant go and use another. M: Some people who write to me say this.

47、ately to upset our customers. We have particular problems. Since 1946, when the Transport Act came in, we were nationalised. W: Do you think that is a good thing?
