20、: Ive been studying all the time, but still cant see any improvement in my grades. M: Maybe instead of studying in your dorm, youd better go some place where there are fewer distractions.

21、re are fewer distractions”说明他觉得女士现在学习的地方干扰较多,所以应该找个安静的地方学习,故选 A,而不是 D“在宿舍学习时避免干扰 ” 。 【知识模块】 听力 4 【听力原文】 W: The seminar originally scheduled for today has been canceled. The hours I spent preparing for it are totally wasted. M: Not really. As far as I know, its been postponed till next week. Q: What

25、ime ago, but my supervisor said I should do more research if I want to achieve the quality he expects of me. Q: What do we learn from the conversation about the womans thesis? 6 【正确答案】 D 【试题解析】 女士不想谈她的 thesis,说明有问题,故可排除 A和 B;对话中只提到她的 supervisor,没有提到很多人,故 C错;假设条件句 “if I want to achieve the quality he
26、 expects of me”说明现在还没 achieve the quality he expects of me,即 D“她的论文没有达到导师的期望值 ”。 【知识模块】 听力 7 【听力原文】 W: I cant believe Karen is late for such an important occasion as a job interview.

27、ne ear and out the other. Q: What does the man imply? 7 【正确答案】 A 【试题解析】 女士说她提醒 Karen多次,但她还是面试迟到了,男士说“everything you tell her goes in one ear and out the other你跟她说的话她左耳朵进右耳朵出 ”意即 “听完了就忘,不往心里去 ”,故选 A,而非 D,更不可能是 C;此外, should have known her better为虚拟语气,意为 “本该更了解她了 ”,而非陈述语气的 B。 【知识模块】 听力 8 【听力原文】 W: Hi,
28、Joe. I wonder if you could do me a favor and tell the professor Ive lost my voice so I cant attend this mornings class. I need the time to study for tomorrows exam.

29、to the professor later. Q: What will the woman probably do? 8 【正确答案】 B 【试题解析】 女士想让 Joe转告教授,她嗓子说不出话,不能上课。以此为借口赢得时间准备明天的考试,而男士建议她还是逃课好了,事后再向教授道歉,所以女士很可能为了准备考试而逃课,即 B。 A错在让 Joe替她道歉; C是原本的打算。 【知识模块】 听力 9 【听力原文】 M: What do you think of the governments new tax cut proposal? W: Though it may give some bene
30、fit to the poor, its key component is the elimination of tax on dividends. That means the rich will get richer. Q: What does the woman think of the governments tax cut proposal? 9 【正确答案】 C 【试题解析】 本题正确答案的信息源在女士所说的话中,提醒考生注意的字眼是 that means,答案就在此提示词的后面 “the rich will get richer”,四个选项当中与此意思相符的只有 C,其中 the
31、 rich就是 C中的 the wealthy。 A属于原文不相干的词的拼凑, B根本未提及, D为原文中 dividend和 cut的拼凑。 【知识模块】 听力 10 【听力原文】 M: Jenny, remember this: a job worth doing at all is worth doing well. W: Oh, yes, I certainly wont forget it. But dont expect me to stick to the job just because it pays a few more bucks. A life of continued
32、 exploration is a life worth living. Q: What can be inferred about the woman from the conversation? 10 【正确答案】 B 【试题解析】 这是一个间接推论题,间接推论题无论在听力还是在阅读中,答案一般都出现在 but后面,所以只要找到和 but后面信息对应的选项就可以了。女士说,但别指望我会一心扑在工作上( But dont expect me to stick to the job.),由此可见 C不对;她进一步解释说, “A life of continued exploration is
33、a life worth living.”这与 B含义相同。故选 B。 A是男士的建议, D为无关信息,均不对。 【知识模块】 听力 11 【听力原文】 M: I found that one of my schoolmates uses drugs. How can I help him, Mom? W: Stay away from him, son. Never think that you can talk him out of the habit if he is addicted.But perhaps you can talk to your teacher about the
34、matter. Q: Whats the womans advice to her son? 11 【正确答案】 D 【试题解析】 答案依然落在女士所说的话上。祈使句 stay away from对应 D中的 keep distance from,而 D中的 drug addicts是指 a person who is addicted(原文为 if he is addicted)。 A、 C为无关信息, B的意思恰好与原文 “Never think that you can talk him out of the habit.”相反。 【知识模块】 听力 12 【听力原文】 W: I don
35、t know how you can eat so much yet never put on any weight, son. Your fathers got the same luck. I cant take a bite without calculating how many calories I am taking. M: But remember Aunt Louise, Mom? She ate a lot and never gained a pound. Q: Who is worried about gaining weight? 12 【正确答案】 C 【试题解析】
36、女士先说儿子 “never put on any weight”,接着对儿子说 “Your fathers got the same luck.”第 3句使用了双重否定句强调自己却得计划着吃。而儿子的回答表明, Aunt Louise也是吃得多而不发胖的。问题是问四个人当中谁担心 gaining weight,显然只有 Mom自己。所以正确答案为 C。 【知识模块】 听力 13 【听力原文】 W: Did you turn off the lights and check the locks on all the doors? M: Yes, I told the Johnsons wed b
37、e gone for two weeks. They promise to keep an eye on the house for us. Q: What are the two speakers going to do? 13 【正确答案】 A 【试题解析】 本题解题的关键在于听清楚男士 “wed be gone for two weeks”这一重要信息。其余的信息 “turn off the lights and check the locks on all the doors”以及“keep an eye on the house for us”都是在加强这一信息,所以正确答案为 A,
38、其中 a couple of这个短语在听力中频频考查,往往与 two呼应。 B用原文中的部分信息 check the locks进行干扰, C似乎是对 keep an eye on the house的解释,但人称颠倒了, D为夸大事实。此外,固定习语 keep an eye on(留心)也是需要掌握的。 【知识模块】 听力 14 【听力原文】 M: Hurry up, Linda! I hear that there arent many tickets left for the football match. W: I am ready now. Lets go. Its the earl
39、y bird that catches the worm. Q: Why did the man ask the woman to hurry up? 14 【正确答案】 C 【试题解析】 本题中要听清男士的话 “there arent many tickets left for the football match”,那么只有 C意思相符。同时,女士的话中出现了谚语 “Its the early bird that catches the worm”,意为 “早起的鸟儿有虫吃;先到者先得 ”。这其实也加强了男士的话的含义。 A是在用 warm进行近音干扰; B与原文毫不相干; D是利用原文中
40、的单词重新编排构成音近 /同音陷阱, game bird意为 “猎鸟 ”。 【知识模块】 听力 15 【听力原文】 W: Did you hear that the convenience store next to the gas station was held up last night? M: Yes, I heard it on the radio this morning. Q: What happened to the convenience store? 15 【正确答案】 B 【试题解析】 本题考查的是短语 hold up的特殊含义 “抢劫 ” ,即 rob,故答案为 B。
41、【知识模块】 听力 16 【听力原文】 M: Congratulations! I just heard about your acceptance into law school. Do you think you would join your brothers firm after graduation? W: Not likely. He is a tax lawyer, and I am going to major in criminal law. Q: What does the woman mean? 16 【正确答案】 D 【试题解析】 答案仍然落在女士所说的话上,但是这一次
42、必须将女士所说的话照应男士所说的话中的某些细节,才能得出答案,这种做法在以往的考试中是非常少见的。男士问:毕业后你是否会加入 你哥哥的公司?女士说: “Not likely.”据此,正确答案为 D。女士又解释她不会加入哥哥的公司的原因:她哥哥是税务律师,而她学的是刑法。 A、 B为含有原文词 major和 tax lawyer的干扰项, C原文没有提到。 【知识模块】 听力 17 【听力原文】 W: Youre not going to make the call, are you? Arent you going to wait until dawn? I dont think it is
43、a right moment for you to pick up the phone. M: I should wait until then, but I simply cant. Q: What can be inferred about the woman? 17 【正确答案】 A 【试题解析】 观点态度题。本题并非典型的 BUT题,而是要求推测第一位谈话者的态度。听懂女士的话 “我认为现在不是你打电话的适当时刻 ”很关键,可见她觉得现在打电话太早。故选 A。 【知识模块】 听力 18 【听力原文】 M: Excuse me, but has anyone turned in a br
44、own leather wallet? Ive lost my wallet. It contains my drivers license and also some family pictures that are pretty important to me. W: Oh, yes, we had a wallet brought in this morning. Wait here just a minute, please. Q: What will the woman probably do? 18 【正确答案】 B 【试题解析】 根据女士的回答可知,早上有人上交了钱包,并让男士
45、“Wait here just a minute”,可判断,她下一步行动应是去拿钱包,所以答案选 B。 【知识模块】 听力 19 【听力原文】 M: Excuse me, Madam. Is the air-conditioning on? This room is getting as hot as a furnace. W: Sorry, sir. A new epidemic called SARS is threatening us right now. As a preventing measure, we are told to let in fresh air by openin
46、g the windows and not to use air-conditioners. Q: What does the woman mean? 19 【正确答案】 C 【试题解析】 女士所说的 “我 们被要求开窗通风而不用空调 ”,表示不开空调是因为接受指示。因此选 C。 【知识模块】 听力 20 【听力原文】 M: You look quite different from what you used to. W: Sure. I started exercising regularly 2 years ago and went from 253 pounds to a health
47、y 160 pounds. And thats the only thing I did not give up halfway. Q: What do we know about the woman? 20 【正确答案】 A 【试题解析】 根据女士所说的 “从 253磅下降至正常的 160磅 ” ,可以得知是体重下降。所以选 A。 【知识模块】 听力 21 【听力原文】 M: I wonder if you find my experience relevant to the job. W: Yes, certainly. But if only you had sent in your a
48、pplication letter a week earlier! Q: What does the woman imply? 21 【正确答案】 B 【试题解析】 “But if only you had sent in your application letter a week earlier如果早一周送来简历就好了 ”,暗示工作已经给别人了。所以选 B。 【知识模块】 听力 22 【听力原文】 W: Shouldnt someone go and pick up the clothes from the laundry? They were ready 3 hours ago. M:
49、Dont look at me, Mum. Q: What does the boy mean? 22 【正确答案】 A 【试题解析】 A男士的回答是间接地拒绝去取衣服,因此选 A。 【知识模块】 听力 23 【听力原文】 M: Er. Hi! Could you tell me where electronic products are displayed? I want to see some TVs, digital video cameras, DVD players that sort of thing. W: Well, several countries are displaying electronic products. Chinas selection is very large this year.
