18、ution? 1 【正确答案】 B 【试题解析】 新闻中提到，二月是黑人历史月，鼓励美国人去了解以及感恩非裔美国人对美国社会做出的众多贡献，故 B正确。 A“学习美国历史 ”、 C“参观著 名的国家博物馆和纪念碑 ”和 D“捐款建造一座新的博物馆 ”都不是黑人历史月鼓励美国人去做的事。 【知识模块】 听力 2 【正确答案】 D 【试题解析】 新闻中提到， Smithsonian Institution宣布要建一个 “非裔美国人历史与文化国家博物馆 ”(National Museum of African American History and Culture )。故答案为 D“建造新博物馆
19、”。 A利用新闻中的 join和 museum制造干扰，但 “博物馆协会 ”没有在新闻中出现。新闻中提到建造博物 馆之前，要先选定建筑师 (architect must be chosen)、征集收藏品 (collection must be assembled)和募捐建造博物馆的费用 (half price tag must be provided from private donors)，B、 C项胡乱拼凑了这些信息点，并不是 Smithsonian Institution真正要做的事。 【知识模块】 听力 3 【听力原文】 When the tsunami hit southern Th

What happened to the surviving Burmese after last years tsunami? 3 【正确答案】 A 【试题解析】 新闻提到，泰国官方已经确认 80名缅甸工人在海啸中丧
23、生。同时，在 800多具没有确定身份的遇难者尸体中，泰国官方认为其中有一些为缅甸人 (several of the) 。故 A正确。 【知识模块】 听力 4 【正确答案】 D 【试题解析】 新闻提到，那些在海啸中幸免于难的人发现他们的工作没 了，家和财产也被海啸冲走了，并且他们也得不到政府的援助 (unable to get government aid)。故 D正确，并同时可以排除 B“他们忽视政府的援助 ”。 A“他们被包工头雇用了 ”和新闻说的 “他们工作没了 ”(their jobswere gone) 相反。 C所说的 “引起对移民问题的关注 ”是泰国劳工活跃分子 Adisorn K
24、urdmongkol的呼吁，与海啸幸存者无关。 【知识模块】 听力 5 【听力原文】 (5)The Paris agreement to curb climate change calls for a dramatic shift away from fossil fuels and the greenhouse gasses they emit, especially carbon dioxide. Switching to renewable energy helps, but that wont happen fast enough to keep temperatures from r
25、ising to dangerous levels. Thats why scientists and researchers all over the world also are working on new ways of keeping carbon out of the atmosphere. (6)At an industrial site in Alberta, a province in North America, Royal Dutch Shell, an oil company, recently hosted a grand opening for its Quest
26、carbon capture and storage project. Its part of Shells oil sands business. Turning oil sands into crude oil emits a lot of carbon dioxide. So Shell tries to capture some of that greenhouse gas before it gets into the air. The technology in the Quest project has been around for a while, but its still
27、 expensive: The cost of building and operating this one plant over the next decade is about $970 million. For all that money, it captures only a third of the C02 thats produced here. (7)For many companies, such a plant isnt an attractive investment because its not profitable. 5. Whats the purpose of
28、 Paris agreement? 6. What is the content of Shells Quest project? 7. Why doesnt Quests plant attract to many companies? 5 【正确答案】 D 【试题解析】 新闻开头提到，巴黎协定 (Paris agreement)呼吁减少对化石燃料的使用及其排放的温室气体，尤其是二氧化碳，其目的是控制气候变化 (to curb climate change)。 D中的 control the change of climate和新闻中的 curb climate change含义相同，为本题
29、答案。 A是利用新闻末尾的 profitable编造的信息，新闻中说该工厂不盈利所以没有投资吸引力， A与新闻内容相反。 B“在全球范围内获得名声 ”未在新闻中提到 。 C中的 temperature有在新闻中出现，但是新闻中说新能源并不能有效抑制气温升到危险水平，并未提及气温应控制在什么水平。 【知识模块】 听力 6 【正确答案】 C 【试题解析】 新闻提到， Royal Dutch Shell是北美的一家石油公司，接着又说它举行了一个盛大的开幕式，进行捕获和储存碳的项目 (Quest carbon capture and storage project)，故 C为答案。新闻中多次提到 sa
30、nd和 oil，但并未提及其运输情况 (transportation)，故排除 A。该项目并非 B所说的 “停止排放二氧化碳 ”，而是要对其进行储存以防止其进入空气中，故排除 B。 D是利用对 Shell公司是石油公司进行干扰，新闻并没有提及要开发更多石油。 【知识模块】 听力 7 【正确答案】 C 【试题解析】 新闻末尾部分提到， Quest project成本非常高，却只能捕获其产生的二氧化碳总量的三分之一，最后又说不能吸引投资是因为不能盈利 (not profitable)，由此可知答案为 C。 A“需要政府支持 ”没有在新闻中提到。 B中的technology出现在新闻中后段，说该技术
31、 已存在一段时间，但成本仍然极高，可见该技术并非难以取得，只是价格昂贵。 D干扰性强，该技术确实需要大量资金，但是不具备盈利能力才是无法吸引公司投资的真正原因。 【知识模块】 听力 Section B 8 【听力原文】 W: Hello. Can I take your order? M: Yes. Id like a large pepperoni pizza with mushrooms and green peppers. Uh,(10)can I make that a half-and-half pizza? W: Sure. What would you like on each
32、half?(8)We have Italian sausage, ham, mushrooms, onions, pineapple, green peppers, bacon and tomatoes. M: (9)/(10)Ill have pineapple and mushrooms on one half and green peppers and Italian sausage on the other. Oh, and could I get extra cheese on that pizza? W: Alright. Would you care for any bread
33、sticks or beverage with your order? Actually, we have a Friday night family special going on right now,(11)and if you order any large pizza and drink, well throw in a free order of bread sticks, plus a three-dollar coupon for use with your next pizza order. M: Huh, sure, why not? And what drink come

36、cken“鸡肉 ”、 B中的 beef“牛肉 ”和 D中的 pork“猪肉 ”女士未提及。 【知识模块】 听力 9 【正确答案】 A 【试题解析】 男士说： “我要一个半边是菠萝加蘑菇，半边是青椒加意式香肠的双拼比萨。 ”选项 A是对话的原词再现，正确。听到什么选什么。各选项之间的差异在各种材料的异同及排列组合上。答题关键在于听清各种组合方式。 【知识模块】 听力 10 【正确答案】 D 【试题解析】 对话中男士明确提到想要 half-and-half pizza，并且随后还进一步提到每半份披萨上放什么材料，因此 D正确。女士说含税 总共是 15 19美元， A项中的 15 90美元与此不符；
37、 B错在尾号 1807，应为 1870； C错在 1304，应为1340。 【知识模块】 听力 11 【正确答案】 B 【试题解析】 女士说： “如果你现在点任何一款大比萨加饮料，我们都会免费附送一份面包条，外加一张下次点比萨时使用的 3美元抵用券。 ”由此选项 B正确。选项设置上有些迷惑性， A、 D、 C的相关内容对话都有提及，可都有些地方不准确。如 D中， free order照搬原词， steak则利用与 stick发音相近进行干扰。 【知识模块】 听力 12 【听力原文】 W: Good morning, Mr. Pitt. Do sit down. M: Thank you. W:
38、 First of all, Mr. Pitt,(12)Id like you to tell me a bit about what youve been doing. M: Well, I took four subjects in school: French, German, Chemistry and, uh, Art.

43、t the Art College? 15. Which is one of the things Mr. Pitt does in his spare time? 12 【正确答案】 C 【试题解析】 应聘面试对话的一个重要特征是：面试人主要提问，受试人主要回答问题 ，对话内容以学习背景、工作经历为主，有时提到工作职责与报酬。若了解这些特点即使没有听到对话中的关键词 (我希望你谈谈你目前的工作；你的申请 )，也可以判断出答案。判断人物关系的情景题，准确的答题依据是对话中出现的关键词。 【知识模块】 听力 13 【正确答案】 B 【试题解析】 男士明确说： “我没有学习艺术是因为我父亲的一个朋
44、友给我提供了一个职位，他是伦敦的一个会计师。 ”It didnt turn out like that中的 that指前一句中的 study Art。故 B正确。由选项可知，本题 应当问 “他 ”有什么想法、做了什么事，或想要做什么事。核心词是 study Art， offer a job， accounting firm，interesting。听到对话中的 I really wanted to study Art，可排除 A，并由随后的否定结构和 because引导的内容得到正确答案。 because处出题。 【知识模块】 听力 14 【正确答案】 C 【试题解析】 男士说他去艺术学院读了
45、一个三年期的课程，以取得艺术文凭，可见选 C。 A“近一年 ”是男士说他在会计事务所工作的时间，故排 除。 B“四年 ”在录音并未提到。 D“九个月 ”是女士说男士在会计事务所工作的时间，也不对。 【知识模块】 听力 15 【正确答案】 B 【试题解析】 男士提到他虽然不演奏乐曲，但是他经常听音乐会，故 B正确。frequently是 quite a lot of的另一种表达。由动词的现在分词选项可知，本题问动作。 A错在使用了 a lot of，而原文说到拍照片时是说 a bit of； C中的 play与原文说的 I dont play不符； D是地点错误，原文是说欧洲而不是非洲。 【知识
