Why doesnt the man accept the womans offer? 1 【正确答案】 C 【试题解析】 女士说： “我打算去学生娱乐中心打桥牌。 ”C项是该录音信息的同义替换，故答案为 C。 【知识模块】 听力 2 【正确答案】 A 【试题解析】 选项均为动词原形开头的动宾短语，推测题目可能问行
23、为、建议、打算等。女士说： “我喜欢站在搭档身后看着她 /他打牌。 ”故 A为答案。答题时要抓住原文中的关键动词：或者原词再现，或者是同义替换。一方对另一方问题的回答，常常就是考点。 【知识模块】 听力 3 【正确答案】 D 【试题解析】 选项均为原形动词开 头的动宾短语，一般问打算、建议、劝告，猜测题目可能是问对女士的建议。男士说，你不要打牌打得太过分忘了学习，所以D正确。 【知识模块】 听力 4 【正确答案】 D 【试题解析】 四个选项都和 He相关，且内容都表示他不打牌，故推断出题目可能问原因。男士说： “我这学期的任务非常重。 ”表示他太忙了，所以没有时间去玩牌，所以 D正确。注意听

29、e woman threaten to do? 8. What was the mans reaction to the womans threat? 5 【正确答案】 B 【试题解析】 题目问 “男士昨天做了什么 ”。女士说到男士昨天修剪苹果树了，trim表示 “修剪 ”， B中的 cut off是对它的同义替换，所以答案是 B。寒暄过后提出对话话题的地方容易出题。 【知识模块】 听力 6 【正确答案】 D 【试题解析】 所有选项均为动词原形，往往表示建议或要求做某事。听到女士说“有些大树枝落到我的院子里面，我认为你应该来把它们弄走 ”，就可以决定答案。对话中两人争论的焦点是男士修剪苹果树时
30、落在女士院子里的树枝，据此也可选定答案。其他选项的宾 语在对话中也有提及，但不是引起矛盾的焦点。 【知识模块】 听力 7 【正确答案】 A 【试题解析】 所有选项都是动词原形，宾语部分含 “the man”，故推测本题可能问 “女士会如何 ”。对话中女士说，她会起诉男士，故 A正确。 file a law suit是 sue的同义表达。 【知识模块】 听力 8 【正确答案】 C 【试题解析】 根据最后男士所说的 “法庭见 ”可以判断出他没有被吓住，故 C正确。 【知识模块】 听力 Section B 9 【听力原文】 In the United States, many people once
31、 lived in large, two-and-three-story homes. Today, many people would like to live in such houses but most people cant. They dont have enough money to buy them or even to make the first payment. So, many people rent from month to month. But some Americans really want to live in a house of their own.
32、So they build their own home. They buy a house that is situated in an area where houses are cheaper. It is better to reside in a bad part of town, they think, than not to live in a house at all Or they buy an old house and redesign it. Then they decorate it with old style furniture. Sometimes they c
33、an make an old house look more beautiful than a new one. Usually, it is not difficult for people to find an old home to buy. Many older people decide that they dont need a big home after their children leave. So they sell their house and move into a comfortable apartment. But when people move into a
34、 house, they sometimes have problems. Homeowners have to do their own maintenance. For example, if the roof leaks, one cannot ask the landlord to fix it. On the other hand, people can redesign their homes in any way they want without having to be afraid of being thrown out by the landlord. 9. Why do
35、nt many Americans live in large, two-and-three-story houses? 10. Why is it easy to find old houses for sale? 11.

36、de等关键词，推测题目可能问某类人为何不住大房子。短文说，他们没有足够的钱去买大房子，所以 A正确。 【知识模块】 听力 10 【正确答案】 C 【试题解析】 根据选项可以预测题目大致是问为什么有很多旧房空出来。短文提到，人们不难发现有老房子可供购买。接着说明原因：很多上了年纪的人在孩子们离开后会卖掉大房子搬进公寓。 C项中的关键词 older people， sell， children leave都是听到的原词组合，故选 C。 A错在主语，录音中说搬到舒适的公寓里的也是老人，不是年轻 人。 【知识模块】 听力 11 【正确答案】 A 【试题解析】 短文说， home owners要自己来维
37、修房子。 A项是录音信息的原词复现，故为答案。 【知识模块】 听力 12 【听力原文】 In a way, all of us are on a spaceship the planet Earth. We move around the sun at 18 miles per second and never stop. On our spaceship, we have 5 billion people and limited supply of air, water and land. These supplies have to be used carefully because we
38、 cant buy new air, water or land from anywhere else. Environment on our planet is a closed system. Nothing new is ever added. Nature recycles its resources. Water, for example, evaporates and rises at visible drops to form clouds. The same water returns to the earth as rain or snow. The rain that fa
39、lls today is actually the same water that fell on the land 70 million years ago. Today, the earth is in trouble. Factories pour dirty water into rivers, many fish die and water becomes unhealthy for people to drink. Cars and factories put poisons into the air and cause plants, animals and people to
40、get sick. People throw bottles and paper out of their car windows and roadside becomes covered with all sorts of wastes. Over the years people have changed environment and we have pollution. To continue to survive, we must learn how to use the earth resources wisely. We have to change our habits and
41、 stop dropping such enormous amounts of industrial waste into the water and air. We must cooperate with nature and learn better ways to use, not to abuse our environment. 12. Why does the speaker compare the earth to a spaceship? 13. How fast does the planet Earth travel around the sun? 14. Why does
42、 the speaker advise us to use the earth resources wisely? 15. What message is the speaker trying to convey? 12 【正确答案】 A 【试题解析】 根据选项可以预测信息点是地球与宇宙飞船之间的相似处。短文开篇便将地球比作了 spaceship，然后说上面的空气、水、土地资源都很有限， A项中的关键词 limited supply of air， water为录音原词，因此答案为 A。 【知识模块】 听力 13 【正确答案】 C 【试题解析】 选项之间的差异只是数字不同，发音两两相似，因此要
43、注意辨别录音中出现的数字。此题本身并不难，因此提前浏览选项是十分重要的。 【知识模块】 听力 14 【正 确答案】 D 【试题解析】 短文提到，这些资源必须谨慎使用，因为我们无法从别的地方买到新的空气、水或土地，所以 D正确。 D项中的 no new在录音中两次提及，关键词 added也是录音原词。 【知识模块】 听力 15 【正确答案】 B 【试题解析】 选项 B是对录音最后一句的同义表达，句型与原文一致，故为答案。 【知识模块】 听力 Section C 16 【听力原文】 Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg recently surprised Chines
44、e students when he spoke to them in Chinese. In a talk at Tsinghua University in Beijing, Zuckerberg spoke Chinese for about 30 minutes. Although his Mandarin was far from perfect, students and faculty cheered his effort. Zuckerbergs talk raises a larger question: is Chinese the language of the futu
45、re? Could it replace English as the worlds international language? Mandarin Chinese already has the most native speakers of any language. And, China may soon surpass the United States as the worlds largest economy. The study of the Chinese language is increasing in the United States and around the w
46、orld. This year, about 60,000 American college students were studying Chinese. That is three times as many as in twenty years ago. A small but growing number of American parents are even sending their children to bilingual Chinese immersion schools. They think knowing Chinese could give their childr
47、en a competitive advantage. Clayton Dube, the head of the U.S.-China Institute at the University of Southern California, thinks Chinese will grow in importance, especially for people who want to work and do business in China. But he does not think Chinese will overtake English any time soon. “As Chi
48、na rises, you can anticipate that more people will adopt the language. But is Chinese going to replace English? I dont think so certainly not in my lifetime, probably not in the next two, three, or four generations.“ English rose to prominence through the British Empire in the nineteenth century. Am
49、erican dominance in the twentieth century spread the language even further. Dube says American pop culture is one reason for Englishs popularity as a foreign language. “American movies, music, television, video games have wide audiences. So far Chinas success in this realm has been very limited. Chinese films, Chinese television shows, and Chinese music dont have a huge following outside of China.“ Chinese is also a more difficult language to learn. The U.S. Foreign Service Institute estimates it would take a native English s
