What crime did Vassilis Paleokostas commit before breaking out of prison? 2. What is the prison Korydallos famous for? 1 【正确答案】
18、A 【试题解析】 新闻在中间部分交待其中一名越狱者在逃跑之前所犯的罪行，即绑架罪和银行抢劫罪 (kid-napping and bank robbery)， A项重现录音原词， 为正确答案。 2 【正确答案】 C 【试题解析】 发生越狱事件的这座监狱在雅典具有一定的知名度，是因为它 “关押的都是一些臭名昭著的罪犯 ”， C项复现了关键词 infamous criminals，为本题答案。新闻中讲的是发生在 Korydallos的一起猖狂的越狱事件。但这并不能说明这里经常有犯人越狱， A项错误。 B项 “在 Piraes附近 ”是犯人逃跑用的摩托车被发现的地点。 D项 “它是雅典最古老的监狱 ”
19、没有在新闻中提到。 3 【听力原文】 Theres great excitement that Ukraine is about to play in its first ever World Cup finals. This country has never qualified for a major football competition before.

22、ttitude to Russias failure to qualify for the World Cup? 3 【正确答案】 B 【试题解析】 新闻中开头对于乌克兰进入世界杯决赛表示很兴奋，接着提到这里的许多人都对俄罗斯无缘世界杯感到高兴，尤其注意其中使用了 here一词所以综合以上信息，最佳的答案应该是 B项 “乌克兰 ”。新闻中没有我们常常习惯听到的 “这是 XXX从 XXX发回的报道 ”，那么我们要注意新闻报道中一些细微之处。 4 【正确答案】 B 【试题解析】 新闻中提到，俄罗斯和乌克兰在足球上是竞争对手，因此在这儿有很多人都因为俄罗斯没能进军世界杯决赛圈而高兴 (taking
23、great delight thatRussia has failed to qualify for the World Cup)， B项 Happy与新闻中的 delight同义，故为答案。 5 【听力原文】 Indonesian officials have recovered bodies from the sea near the wreck of an AirAsia passenger jet. The airplane crashed during a storm on Sunday. Indonesian television showed rescue helicopters
24、 pulling bodies from the Java Sea, in waters about 160 kilometers from Borneo Island. The first images of the bodies showed they were not wearing protective life jackets. Rescue workers had recovered about one fourth of the passengers and crew at nightfall. They found the bodies soon after discoveri
25、ng the wreck. It included what appeared to be an orange life jacket, a red and white emergency door, etc. Searches from the air also showed what appeared to be a very large object under the surface of the water. It is believed to be the main body of the airplane. Last Tuesday, AirAsia confirmed the
26、wreck was its lost plane. The passenger jet disappeared on Sunday halfway through what was supposed to be a two-hour flight from the Indonesian city of Surabaya to Singapore. The head of AirAsia, Tony Fernandes, said he is, “absolutely upset“ at the news. Earlier he said his heart “is filled with sa
27、dness for all the families involved.“ 5. Where was the wreck found? 6. What did the images of the bodies show? 7. When did AirAsia confirm that the wreck was its lost plane? 5 【正确答案】 A 【试题解析】 题目问失事飞机的残骸是在哪里发现的。新闻中提到。印尼电视台播放了救援直升机在爪哇海 (Java sea)捕捞尸体。 A项正确。新闻提到，捕捞尸体的水域距离婆罗洲岛 (Borneo Island)约 160公里。 B项
28、 “在婆罗洲岛 ”不正确。录音提到星期日客机是在半途消 失。本来的预定航线是从印尼泗水市 (Indonesian city of Surabaya)到新加坡 (Singapore)，故 C项 “在印尼泗水市附近 ”和 D项 “在新加坡 ”都不对。 6 【正确答案】 C 【试题解析】 题目问尸体的图像显示了什么。新闻说道，尸体的首批图像显示他们没有穿防护救生衣 (notwearing protective life jackets)，故本题答案为 C项。 A项 “他们穿着橙色衣服 ”利用新闻出现的 orange一词作干扰，新闻中并未提到尸体穿的是什么衣服。救援人员在黄昏时仅发现大约 四分之一的乘
29、客和机组人员的尸体 (one fourth of the passengers and crew)，而不是四分之一的机组人员，故 B项排除。录音并未提到所有尸体都是裸着的，故 D项不对。 7 【正确答案】 C 【试题解析】 题目问亚航什么时候证实该残骸是其失联的飞机。录音中提到是在last Tuesday，即 “上周星期二 ”。 C项 last Tuesday为该处录音的原词复现，故为答案。星期日是空难发生时间，排除 B项 “星期日晚 ”和 D“上周日 ”。 Section B 8 【听力原文】 M: Hi, Sarah. Whats up? W: Oh, hi, I just got out
30、 of a history class. I had to give a presentation. M: How did it go? W: Terribly. Im sure I made a fool of myself. M: Why? Werent you prepared? W: No, it was not that. I just get so embarrassed and nervous whenever I have to speak in front of a group of people. I stand up and my face gets red and th
31、en I get even more nervous because I know everyone can see me blushing. M: Its not so bad to blush. W: But it happens all the time. If the professor asks a“ question and I know the answer, I blush like crazy if he calls on me. Doesnt that ever happen to you? M: No, not really. Maybe you should just
32、try to forget about the people. Look at something else in the room like the exit sign. W: I guess I could try that but I doubt itll help. M: You know, we talked about it in psychology class. Blushing, even though its involuntary, is more or less a learned behavior. W: What do you mean? M: Oh, childr
33、en hardly ever blush at all. And among adults, supposedly, women blush more than men. W: I wonder why? M: I dont know, but I have a friend at high school, Brian Smith. It was really easy to make him blush. He turned red whenever a waitress would ask him for his order. W: Im not that bad. Well, Ive g
34、ot to get going for my next class. Ill talk to you later. 8. What was the womans problem? 9. Why might looking at the exit sign help the woman according to the man? 10. What kind of behavior does psychology classify blushing as? 11. Why does the man mention his friend Brian? 8 【正确答案】 A 【试题解析】 对话开头女士
35、就说自己 “像傻瓜 ”，说明她有问题，紧接着谈论的是她在众人面前说话会脸红。所以她最大的问题是 A。 9 【正确答案】 A 【试题解析】 根据对话思路，女士说完自己的问题，男士很可能会提出建议。根据 “也许你应该努力忽略他人的存在。 ”选 A。 B中的 exit及 D中的 professor均属语音干扰，实际上 B、 C、 D三个选项的内容在对话中均未提及。本题 “小偏方 ”；如果没听到关键句，只听见了问题，那么从常理的角度来看，应该是 A最合适。 10 【正确答案】 A 【试题解析】 虽然四个选项都是名词性短语，但变化的是中间的修饰词，故听音时要留意对某种事物或行为的描述。男士说在心理学课上
36、讨论过脸红这个问题。即使脸红是无意识的，但它或多或少属于一种习得的行为。可见，心理学把脸红归类为一种习得的行为，故选 A。 A和 B两项语义相反，一般正确选项为其中之一，预览选项时可把答案锁定在这两项，即使没听清楚男士的话，也可从后面男士的解释中窥见答案；儿童几乎不会脸红，由此可推断脸红不是天生的，据此不难得出 A。 11 【正确答案】 A 【试题解析】 四个选项均以 To开头表示目的。之前男士提到女人比男人更容易脸红，女士想知道原因，男士补充说， “我不知道，不过我有个高中同学 Brian，他特别容易脸红。 ”所以 Brian是个特例，故选 A；而男士并不是想以此告诉Sarah男人也常脸红，
37、故 D错。 Brian是男性，所以 B不可能是正确的；男士并没有提及要介绍 Brian给 Sarah认识，故 C也不对。 12 【听力原文】 W: Hey, Henry, hows everything going, and whats with the flowers? M: Theyre for my wife. W: Oh, a wedding anniversary or something? M: To tell the truth, it couldnt be worse. You see, I have to pick my wife up from the airport th
38、is evening, but while she was gone, there were a few minor mishaps. W: Oh really? What happened? M: Well, I had some of the guys over Friday night to watch a basketball game on TV, but one of them got all excited, and started horsing around, waving his arms, and he accidentally knocked over my wifes
39、 250-year-old Chinese porcelain vase given to her by her grandmother, and broke it beyond repair. W: Oh no! Youre in hot water now. M: If it had only been that. W: Oh, theres more? M: Yeah, you see, the water from the vase spilled all over the manuscript of a book my wife has been writing for the pa
40、st two years. It blurred the ink over many of the pages. W: Oh no! M: And so one of the guys had the bright idea of drying the pages by the fire while we watched, uh, the rest of game, but a spark from the fire must have blown out and burned the manuscript to a crisp. W: Ah, so I get it now. Youre b
41、uying the flowers for her as a part of some kind of peace offering, right? M: No, not at all. Theyre for my funeral. 12. What was Henry doing Friday night when his problems started? 13. How was the vase broken? 14. How did the manuscript of the book become totally ruined? 15. How will his wife feel
42、when she got the whole story? 12 【正确答案】 A 【试题解析】 选项讲的是男士当时在干什么。听到女士问 “哦，是吗 ?发生什么事了 ?”时，就该预测到后面讲的是事情的经过。男士随即说道。 “我有几个朋友周五晚上过来看篮球赛。 ”所以选 A。男士将要去机场接妻子，而不是 B； C中的barbeque在录音中未提及；对话中出现过 game，但它是 basketball game的省略表达， D利用 game进行语音干扰。 13 【正确答案】 C 【试题解析】 根据选项可以预测问题是 vase被谁怎样弄坏了。对话中提到，一个朋友看球赛看得很兴奋，手舞足蹈，不小心把
43、Henry妻子一只有 250年历史的中国陶瓷花瓶打翻了。其中的 he不是 Henry，而是他的朋友，答案为 C。 14 【正确答案】 A 【试题解析】 选项讲的是一件东西怎么被毁坏的。在说完花瓶被打破之后，Henry又说 “如 果仅仅如此也就好了。 ”可见还有更糟糕的事发生，紧接着，他提到了书稿的遭遇，根据 “但肯定是有火星进出来把书稿给烧焦了 ”可知书最终是被火烧毁的，因此选 A。 B、 D都是含有原词的干扰项， C在对话中根本没有提到。 15 【正确答案】 B 【试题解析】 选项中的形容词表示的是四种情感。此题是推理题，妻子最后会怎么表现在对话中并未提及，但从丈夫谈话的口气中可以很明显感觉
44、到事情的严重性，最后丈夫说道： “我死定了。 ”可以推测妻子知道后会非常愤怒，所以选 B。 Section C 16 【听力原文】 Some psychologists maintain that mental acts such as thinking are not performed in the brain alone, but that ones muscles also participate. It may be said that we think with our muscles in somewhat the same way as we listen to music w
45、ith our bodies. You surely are not surprised to be told that you usually listen to music not only with your ears but with your whole body. Few people can listen to music that is more or less familiar without moving their body or more specifically, some part of their body. Often when one listens to a
46、 concert on the radio, he is tempted to direct the orchestra even though he knows there is a competent conductor on the job. Strange as this behavior may be, there is a very good reason for it. One cannot derive all possible enjoyment from music unless he participates, so to speak, in its performanc
47、e. The listener “feels“ himself into the music with more or less noticeable motions of his body. The muscles of the body actually participate in the mental process of thinking in the same way, but this participation is less obvious because it is less noticeable. 16. According to this passage, what d
48、o some psychologists maintain about thinking? 17. Why do people move their body while listening to music that is familiar? 18. What is the talk mainly about? 16 【正确答案】 D 【试题解析】 文章首尾句均提到了 thinking， muscles， brain的关系，答案为D。 A、 B只是利用原词胡乱拼凑，干扰性不大； C是听音乐时的情况，不要误选。 17 【正确答案】 C 【试题解析】 根据选项中的 Because可知题目问的是原
49、因。文章中间部分主要讲述人体参与音乐欣赏的事实和原因，英文的习惯一般是先说事实，后说原因，因此听到 “几乎没有谁会在听到或多或少有些熟悉的音乐时身体不会动，或者更明确些，身 体的某个部位 ”后就应该预测到后面要讲原因。后文提到，一个人如果不参与到音乐的演奏中去，他就无法完全地享受音乐。故选 C。 18 【正确答案】 C 【试题解析】 预读选项可知，这是一道主旨大意题。标题应该概括最主要的信息，可利用主题句中的核心词和全文高频实义词做出选择或缩小选择范围。本文的高频词有： thinking， muscles， brain， body，等。本文主要讲的是肌肉参与思维过程，而不是在给思维下定义，故选 C而非 D。 A、 B均与 music有关，它们只是用来证明主题的具体例子，不能概括全文。 19 【听力原文】 During the summer session there will be a revised schedule of services for the university community. Specific changes for intercampus bus services, summer hours for the cafeteria and recreati
