11、ssage and the questions will be spoken only once. After you hear a question, you must choose the best answer from the four choices marked A, B, C and D. 1 【听力原文】 The pioneer of chocolate cookies in America is “Amos cookies“. Amos was a talent agent at the William Morris Agency who used home-baked ch
12、ocolate chip cookies as a calling card. After a while, some of his famous clients began encouraging him to sell the cookies. They even invested in the Famous Amos Cookie Company, which he started in 1975 making him one of the pioneers of the gourmet cookie trend. Sales at Famous Amos hit $12 million
13、 by 1982. His cookies were a success, but he was no manager, and his company started losing money. Amos had to bring in new money; from 1985 to 1988, he went through four different co-owners. Each time a change was made, Amos gave up more of his share of the pie. 32By the time the Shanby Group bough
14、t it in 1988, Amos had nothing left; he even signed away his trademark “Amos“. In 1992, when he started a new company called “Wally Amos Presents: Chip and Cookie“, the Famous Amos Corp. sued him for infringement and libel. After an acrimonious dispute, Wally Amos agreed not to use his own name or a
15、 caricature of himself on the cookies and not to badmouth the company that owned his name. Wally Amos then moved to Hawaii and started another cookie company called the “Uncle Noname Cookie Co“. This case is an excellent demonstration of the dangers of trademark ownership for entrepreneurs. 30. What
16、 kind of company was Amos with in the beginning? 31. Why did Amos begin to lose money after his initial success? 32. Why couldnt Amos even use his name in his cookies after 1988? 1 【正确答案】 D 【试题解析】 短文一开始说， Amos本来是 William Morris公司的一个 talent agent(人才代理 )，故选 D。 【知识模块】 短文听力 2 【正确答案】 B 【试题解析】 短文谈到， Amos的
17、饼干生意不错，但是他不是个好的管理者，注意文中的 he was no manager意为 “他根本不擅长管理 ”，所以公司开始亏损，故选B。 【知识模块】 短文听力 3 【正确答案】 B 【试题解析】 短文谈到， 1988年 Shanby Group收 购了 Amos的公司， Amos一无所有，还放弃了他的 Amos商标，故选 B。 A项是强干扰项，正是因为 Amos之前已经放弃了商标权，所以才会因为使用自己的名字作为公司名被别人告上法庭， “被起诉 ”并不是原因，而是后果。 【知识模块】 短文听力 4 【听力原文】 Robert Frost was born in San Francisco
18、 in 1875 and was sent at the age of ten to live in New England, an area which inspired almost all of his poetry. He was educated at Dartmouth College, New England, and Harvard University. He became a schoolmaster for a short time, and then a farm laborer. During this period he wrote poetry but with
19、little recognition. From 1912 to 1915, he lived in New England, where he became friendly with several poets, including Edward Thomas, and published A Boys Will in 1913 and North of Boston in 1914. In America his poetry was soon admired, and he was awarded the Pulitzer Prize on four occasions between
20、 1924 and 1943. He went on writing throughout his life, publishing Steeple Bush at the age of seventy-two. He died in 1963. Frosts poems are revolutionary because they lack the exaggeration of rhetoric. Many of his lines and sentences are plain and in themselves nothing. But they are bound together
21、and made beautiful by a calm eagerness of emotion. With his close observant eye and touch, we can feel the daily activities of farming and the landscape be it their background mowing, apple-picking, or mending a wall. These poems reflect a humane quiet concern and satisfaction in their rhythms and t
22、heir gentle lyricism. Often there is an explicit or near-explicit “moral“, though sometimes this is hinted at rather than stated, and frequently there is an almost proverbial tone. We learn to trust Robert Frost. The very lack of glamour or display in his poem gives them a stability and honesty. 33.
23、 What do we learn about Robert Frost from the passage? 34. What does the speaker say about Frosts poems? 35. What is described in Frosts poetry according to the passage? 4 【正确答案】 C 【试题解析】 短文谈到，从 1912年到 1915年， Robert Frost住在新英格兰，他和一些诗人成为了朋友，包括 Edward Thomas，故选 C。 【知识模块】 短文听力 5 【正确答案】 A 【试题解析】 短文谈到， F
24、rost的诗歌没有夸张的修辞，故选 A。 B过于绝对化。 【知识模块】 短文听力 6 【正确答案】 A 【试题解 析】 短文说从诗人的视角，我们可以感受到农场的日常生活，还有一些背景场景，比如犁地、摘苹果或者补墙，故选 A。 D项是强干扰项， “moral”是Frost诗歌中蕴涵的感情，并不是诗歌的主题。 【知识模块】 短文听力 7 【听力原文】 Nowadays more and more people have to spend lengthy hours before computers. Computers are almost indispensable to modern life
25、. No one can imagine the results if the computer he uses daily would break down. But computers also cause some problems. Among them is the potential harm to human bodies, especially to eyes. Working long hours at a computer can cause eyestrain. Recently a letter to the New England Journal of Medicin
26、e provides one explanation for the problem. Japanese researchers studied some 50 office workers who spent an average of three hours a day at a terminal. Since blinking keeps eyes moist thus reducing strain the researchers counted blinking rates under different conditions. The workers averaged 22 bli
27、nks a minute when relaxed, ten blinks a minute while reading a book and just seven a minute while reading text on a computer screen. Thus people keep the least moisture in their eyes when they are working at a computer and feel more strained. Furthermore, the computer workers also kept their eyes op
28、en wider, which meant moisture evaporated more quickly. If you work at a computer screen, close your eyes periodically. That spreads a tear film and rests your eyes. And remember to blink more often. In this way you can reduce the side effect caused by using computer to a greater extent. 26. What is
29、 the result of using computer in our daily life? 27. What is the cause of eyestrain? 28. What are those who spend long hours before computers supposed to do? 7 【正确答案】 A 【试题解析】 细节题。 computer是人们日常生活、工作不可缺少的一部分，但短文同时指出，电脑也带来问题，其中一个就是可能给人的身体带来伤害。故 A正确。 BUT题，听到 BUT就知道其后的内容需要格外重视。 【知识模块】 短文听力 8 【正确答案】 D 【
30、试题解析】 推断题。短文提到： “blinking keeps eyes moist -thus reducing strain ”(眨眼使眼睛保持湿润，从而减少眼疲劳 )；而短文还指出，使用电脑时人们的眨眼频率仅为每分钟 7次，非常低，因此眼睛的湿润度很低，由此引起眼疲劳。故 D正确。 【知识模块】 短文听力 9 【正确答案】 C 【试题解析】 细节题。短文提到，如果你工作中面对电脑，应该经常性地闭眼休息。因此 C正确。 【知识模块】 短文听力 10 【听力原文】 The number of speakers of English in Shakespeares time is estima
31、ted to have been about five million. Today it is estimated that some 300 million people speak it as a native language, mainly in the United States, Canada, Great Britain, Ireland, South Africa, Australia and New Zealand. In addition to the standard varieties of English found in these areas, there ar
32、e a great many regional and social varieties of the language as well as various levels of usage that are employed both in its spoken and written forms. In fact, it is impossible to estimate the number of people in the world who have acquired an adequate working knowledge of English in addition to th
33、eir own language. The purpose for English learning and the situations in which such learning takes place are so varied that it is difficult to explain and still more difficult to judge what forms an adequate working knowledge for each situation. The main reason for the widespread demand for English
34、is its present importance as a world language. Besides serving the indefinite needs of its native speakers, English is a language in which some of important works in science, technology and other fields are being produced, and not always by native speakers. It is widely used for such purposes as air
35、port communications, international conferences, and the spread of information over the radio and television networks of many nations. It is a language of wider communication for a number of developing countries, especially former British colonies. 31Many of these countries have multilingual populati
36、ons and need a language for internal communication in such matters as government, commerce, industry, law and education as well as for international communication and for entrance to the scientific and technological developments in the West. 29. What is the speaker mainly talking about? 30. Accordin
37、g to the passage, what is hard to estimate about English? 31. Why do some former British colonies widely use English? 10 【正确答案】 B 【试题解析】 主旨题。浏览各题选项，关键词 language， English提示短文内容与 “英语 ”这门语言有关。通过本文多次出现的 English， language， world， widespread， importance， widely used等关键词可知，只有选项 B完整地概括了本文的主旨，故 B正确。 【知识模块】 短
38、文听力 11 【正确答案】 B 【试题解析】 细节题。考点是一个结构比较复杂的长句，形式主语 it以及真实主语部分的定语从句都会给理解带来难度。但 B基本上是原文内容的照搬，听到即能作答。符合 “听到什么选什么 ”的原则。注意长句的听力理解技巧是抓结构。 【知识模块 】 短文听力 12 【正确答案】 D 【试题解析】 细节题。短文提到，这些国家 (许多发展中国家和前英国殖民地国家 )的人口是多语型的，这样就需要在某些事务的内部交流上使用一种共同语言。D基本上是照搬原文，故正确。 【知识模块】 短文听力 13 【听力原文】 Telephone books in the United States
39、 have white, blue and yellow pages. The white pages list people with phones by last name. The blue pages contain numbers of city services, government agencies, and public schools. Businesses and professional services are listed in a special section the Yellow Pages. To make a long distance call, you
40、 need an area code. Each area in the U.S. has an area code. The area covered by one area code may be small or large. For example, New York City has one area code, but so does the whole state of Oregon. If you want to know the area code of a place, you can look it up in the area map which is printed
41、in the front of the white pages. There are a lot of public telephones in the U.S. They have their own numbers. If you are making a long distance call on a public phone and run out of money, give the number on your phone to the person youre talking to. Then hang up the receiver and he can call you ba

43、eck in a telephone book for a long distance call? 34. How can you avoid losing contact when making calls on public phones without much money left? 35. What should you do if you get a wrong number in making a long distance call? 13 【正确答案】 B 【试题解析】 推断题。电话蓝页上包含城市服务、政府部门和公立学校的电话号码，而 city council属于 gover
44、nment agencies，因此可以在蓝页上查到，故 B正确。 【知识模块】 短文听力 14 【正确答案】 C 【试题解析】 细节题。提到打长途电话后马上就说了需要 “区号 ”，即 C。选项 D是强干扰项，注意 area map上面也有 “区号 ”，所以区域图只是查找区号的一种手段。 【知识模块】 短文听力 15 【正确答案】 C 【试题解析】 细节题。如果在打长途电话时用光了钱，可以告诉对方你所用公用电话的号码，然后让对方打过来，故 C正确。 【知识模块】 短文听力 16 【正确答案】 B 【试题解析】 细节题。如果打长途电话时拨错号了，打给接线员解释一下情况，接线员会再次帮你接通，故 B正确。 if后面的内容是考点。 【知识模块】 短文听力
