What did the United States do to help refugee children? 1 【正确答案】 B 【试题解析】 新闻通篇讲的是在土耳其的叙利亚难民儿童的教育问题。 B正确。新闻后段虽提到美国为土耳其提供了教育援助，但 A项 “美国儿童的教育问题 ”张冠李戴。新闻后段确实提到了人权观察组织的声明 (Human Rights Watch says )，但这只是新闻的细节
18、内容，并非主旨，故 C“人权观察组织发表了声明 ”也排除。新闻最后提到 “难民营外的大部分儿童并未接受教育 ”，而非 D“土耳其的大部分儿童不能接受教育 ”。 【知识模块】 听力 2 【正确答案】 C 【试题解析】 新闻中提到，美国之前已为土耳其提供了帮助 (aid)，之后明确指出美国又在 12月提供了一笔 2400万美元的援助，由此可知，美国是通过经济援助的方式帮助土耳其的难民儿童， C正确。 【知识模块】 听力 3 【听力原文】 (3)Eleven Taliban fighters attacked an important airport in southern Afghanistan
19、early Tuesday, killing at least 50 people, Afghan officials said. The Afghan Defense Ministry said 38 civilians, 10 soldiers and two police officers were killed.

What led to the growth of Taliban attacks in Afghanistan? 3 【正确答案】 C 【试题解析】 新闻的开头提到， 11名塔利班武装分子于周二凌晨袭击了阿富汗南部一 座重要的机场。 C“他们袭击了阿富汗的一座机场 ”正确。新闻提到此次袭击造成了至少 50人死亡， A“他们杀害的人数不超过 50”错误。随后新闻中提到遇难者包括 38名平民， 10名士兵和 2名警察，故 D“他们杀害了十名儿童和两名警察 ”也不对。虽然新闻提到，机场有 NATO的军事基地，但并没有提到塔利班武装
23、分子直接与 NATO的军队交火， B错误。 【知识模块】 听力 4 【正确答案】 A 【试题解析】 新闻末尾提到，自从去年其他国家的武装部队撤走后，塔利班的袭击在数量和破坏力都增加了 (grown in number and strength)，故导致塔利班袭击增多的原因就是外国军队的撤走， A正确。发出错误声明 (false claims)的是塔利班，而非外国军队， B错误。 C利用 strength一词作干扰，新闻并没有提到当地军队的情况。 D“去年对外国军队的胜利 ”没有在新闻中提到。 【知识模块】 听力 5 【听力原文】 (5)The Australian state of Tasma
24、nia is considering raising the legal age for buying cigarettes to at least 21 and potentially as high as 25.

29、要提高的是 “买烟的年龄 ”，而非 “香 烟的价格 ”， D错误。 【知识模块】 听力 6 【正确答案】 C 【试题解析】 新闻中提到，澳大利亚四年前推行了所谓的 plain packaging政策，要求包装上统一用橄榄褐色，还要有健康警示的图示 (health warnings that include pictures)， C与此一致，为答案。 B出现关键词 olive，但新闻是说包装的颜色是 olive brown“橄榄褐色 ”，而非真的是印上 olive trees“橄榄树 ”。 【知识模块】 听力 7 【正确答案】 B 【试题解 析】 选项均以 To开头，题目可能问的是做某件事的目的

37、为了打消其顾虑，说其他人也没有经验，又说： “在期末考试前，这是我们放松一下的最后机会了。 ”A与此一致。 【知识模块】 听力 10 【正确答案】 C 【试题解析】 女士说： “所以你得自己带泳衣和睡袋。 ”C正确 。表示具体物件的名词选项表明，此题问某个细节 (而非全文主旨 )。此类题的做题办法是：首先，看四个选项在原文是否提及。若原文只提及 (或没有提及 )其中一个选项，则该选项很可能是答案。其次，若每个选项都有所提及，就需要记住与这些选项相关的信息。语义强调之处的信息往往是答案。 【知识模块】 听力 11 【正确答案】 A 【试题解析】 在对话结尾处，女士说： “好的，等我弄清星期五大家
38、想什么时候出发时，我会给你打电话的。 ”可见女士要向男士确认的是具体的出发时间， A正确。 【知识模块】 听力 12 【听力原文】 M: How do you like the new art museum? W: Wonderful! I spent most of my time at the art museum. I especially liked the new wing.

43、12 【正确答案】 C 【试题解析】 对话中男士说： “我刚读过一篇文章，详细介绍了它的建造费用。 ”因此只有 C最合适。主语都是 He，本题应重点关注男士说的话，听到对话中男士说的 “I just read an article” ， “听到什么选什么 ”，动词的原词再现清楚地标示了答案。 【知识模块】 听力 13 【正确答案】 D 【试题解析】 对话中女士说： “其基本设计是两个三角形。 事实上，那里到处都是三角形：院子里的铺路石啦、天窗啦，甚至许多雕塑作品都是三角形的。 ”D正确。本题答题之处语义特征明显，题目本身也指代清楚，所以并不难解答。 【知识模块】 听力 14 【正确答案】 B
44、【试题解析】 男士说： “文章也介绍了那个移动雕塑。它说，该雕塑原本是用钢铁做的，实在太重了，把它挂起来不安全。 ”句中 hand作及物动词，表示 “支持、搀扶 ”，这里指让雕塑在空中悬挂住 (而不致摔落 )，并能在空中移动。因此， B正确。 【知识模块】 听力 15 【正确答案】 A 【试题 解析】 女士说移动雕塑全是用铝做的，所以它不会砸到人的头，可见选A。其实女士第一次提到移动雕塑时也说到了它是用铝做成的，只不过第二次提到它的材料时才说了这种材料的作用：不会砸到人的头上，因此选 A“它是由铝做成的 ”。 【知识模块】 听力 Section C 16 【听力原文】 (16)We dont
45、know how the first fire was made. Early fires on the earth were certainly caused by nature, not by man. Some were caused by lightning in a storm; others, perhaps by one hot material which came out of a volcano. Quite possibly, at times, the heat of the sun set light to some dry grass or leaves. (17)
46、At first, man, like other animals, was probably afraid of fire. He saw that fire could destroy a forest; he knew that fire could hurt his body. So great was the power of fire that he feared it and worshipped it. Gradually, however, with his better powers of thinking, he overcame his fear. Probably h
47、e overcame most of his fear when he discovered how to make fire for himself. Throughout the ages he has learned more about fire, how to control it, and how to use it in many ways. Now fire is no longer a master or a god, it is a servant. Again, at some early date, man found how fire could be used to
48、 make certain metals from rocks. (18)Some time later, he found out how to make the metal which we now call bronze. This is a mixture of copper and tin. Bronze was a very useful metal. It was hard and tough, but he could shape it by hammering (probably with heavy stones). He could make a tool with a
49、sharp edge for cutting. It isnt so easy to get iron from its ore and this metal was probably not discovered until very much later. 16. What do we know about early fires on the earth? 17. What was probably mans response to the first fire? 18. What is bronze made of? 16 【正确答案】 C 【试题解析】 短文开头即说： “第一堆火是怎样生起来的，我们无从知道。地球上早期的火肯定是由大自然而非由人引燃的。 ”C正确。段落开头处 certainly caused by not by的鲜明的对比关系与语义上的强调特色，应能使我们准确答题。 【知识模块】 听力 17 【正确答案】 A 【试题解析】 短文说，最初，人类和其他动物一样很可能也怕火。 A正确。 At first引导的语义强调之处出题，四个选项都为表示心理活动的形容词，听到什么选什么。 【知识模块】 听力 18 【正确答案】 B 【试题解析】 短文提到
