W: Yes, I know, but I have been too busy to phone hi
21、m. Q: What can be inferred from the conversation? 1 【正确答案】 D 【试题解析】 考查推理判断能力。关键是要听懂间接引语 “他 (即 Mark)说他两个月没收到你 (即女士 )的信了 ”， D正是该信息的同义表达。男士说他昨天遇到了Mark， 故 A不正确；选项 B的内容对话中没有提到；女士说 “我太忙了，没能给Mark打电话 ”，故 C不正确。女士所用的 “tooto 太 而没能 ” 结构是听力中的高频考点。 【知识模块】 听力 2 【听力原文】 M: Mr. Brown asked me to tell you that he is s
22、orry he cant come to meet you in person. He is really too busy to make the trip. W: Thats OK. Im glad youve come in his place. Q: What do we learn from the conversation? 2 【正确答案】 C 【试题解析】 本题关键在于听懂男士所用的间接引语中的 “他 (即 Mr Brown)不能亲自来接您 ”和女士所用的习惯表达 “我很高兴您替他来 ”，两者结合即为 C：男士替布朗先生来接该女士， C中的 on behalf of Mr Br
23、own相当于对话中的 in his place。 A为原词的胡乱拼凑；女士说很高兴男士能替布朗先生来接她，所以 B、 D不正确 。 【知识模块】 听力 3 【听力原文】 M: So, when are the other guys going to get here? The train is leaving in 10 minutes. We cant wait here forever. W: Its 10:30 already. They are supposed to be here by now. I told everybody to meet here by 10:15. Q:
24、When is the train leaving? 3 【正确答案】 C 【试题解析】 本题关键在于抓住根本的原始数据： “火车 10分钟后就要离站了 ”和 “现在已经 10： 30了 ”，故 C为答案。对话中提到的另一时间 (10： 15)为干扰数据 (“我告诉所有人要在 10： 15之前到达这里 ”)。 【知识模块】 听力 4 【听力原文】 W: So you finally listened to your wifes advice and gave up smoking. M: It was my doctors advice. Im suffering from high bloo
25、d pressure. Q: What do we learn from the conversation? 4 【正确答案】 A 【试题解析】 本题关键是要听到女士说 “你戒烟了 ”，故答案为 A。 B项是对pressure的断章取义，原文指的是 “血压高 ”， B指的是 “压力大 ”，故错误；原文说男士听从医生的建议戒烟，因此 C、 D错误，属于故意干扰。 【知识模块】 听力 5 【听力原文】 W: Frank, I thought you were working in New York. M: I was. But Ive moved back. I just couldnt get
26、used to living in a big city. So here I am, back in school, taking courses for a teachers certificate. Q: What is Frank planning to do? 5 【正确答案】 B 【试题解析】 题目询问 Frank打算做什么，显 然是问将来的事。关键是要听到男士最后一句话中提供的信息 “现在我回到学校学习，以获得教师资格证书。 ”与B相符，且时态合理，故 B为答案。 A中的 move和 D中的 work在对话中都是过去的事，所以不正确； C中的 go back与对话中 “here
27、I am， back in school”所表达的现状也不符。 【知识模块】 听力 6 【听力原文】 M: Washing dishes in the restaurant every day is really boring. W: Why dont you quit and deliver flowers for me? Q: What does the woman advise the man to do? 6 【正确答案】 D 【试题解析】 建议题。本题关键在于抓听女士说的 “你为什么不辞职来替我送花呢 ?”D中的 leave his job与对话中的 quit同义：对话中的 deli
28、ver flowers for me在D中概括为 work for here。 deliver flowers是替女士给客户送花，不是 C中 bring her flowers(送花 给该女士 )的意思。 A中的 quit delivering“停止送 ”与对话不符。男士现在就在一家餐馆工作， B说的是现状，故不正确。 【知识模块】 听力 7 【听力原文】 M: Can I borrow your math textbook? I lost mine on the bus. W: Youve asked the right person. I happen to have an extra c
29、opy. Q: What does the woman mean? 7 【正确答案】 B 【试题解析】 本题关键在于听懂习惯表达 “你问对人了 (Youve asked the right person)。 ”男士向女士借数学课本，女士说 “你问对人了。我碰巧有一本多余的。 ”说明她可以帮助男士。 A是对 Youve asked the rightperson的曲解。 【知识模块】 听力 8 【听力原文】 W: Hello, this is Dr. Grays office. Were calling to remind you of your 4:15 appointment for you
30、r annual check-up tomorrow. M: Oh, thanks. Its a good thing youve called. I thought it was 4:15 today. Q: What do we learn from the conversation? 8 【正确答案】 A 【试题解析】 本题关键在于抓住时间的对比和口语表达 “Its a good thing youve called I thought幸亏你打来电话，我还以为 ”体检预约在第二天，但男士以为是当天，故答案为 A(他差点弄错了预约的日期 )。 【知识模块】 听力 9 【听力原文】 M: E

38、，本题选C。女士没有提到广告费用的高低与人们对该广告的关注度之间存在因果关系， B错误，此外 B也不大符合常理；女士也没有提到广告 的复杂程度是否与价格构成正比关系， D无据可查。 【知识模块】 听力 11 【正确答案】 B 【试题解析】 细节题。女士在对话中解释了为什么在周末刊登广告要更贵的原因周末看报纸的人多，并且他们会花较长时间看上面的广告。因此答案为 B。 【知识模块】 听力 12 【正确答案】 D 【试题解析】 细节题。男士的太太要开古玩店，男士向女士询问什么时间登广告最好，女士并没有正面回答，而是说因为不同的目标人群需要不同的广告刊登方案，所以要了解客人的情况，她才能真正帮上忙，故

41、 Thats the problem. They contain high calorie that causes fatness. In addition to avoiding these high calorie foods, you should do some exercises.
