27、件，造成多达 32人死亡。 B“爆炸袭击发生在 Horns”正确。新闻提到爆炸袭击发生在靠近黎巴嫩边界的叙利亚城市而非发生在黎巴嫩，故排除 A。两起爆炸共造成了多达 32人死亡，故 C、 D都不对。 【知识模块】 听力 6 【正确答案】 D 【试题解析】 注意本题要听清楚是问 state-controlled mesa“国有电视台 ”的言论。新闻中提到，国家电视台报道中表示有 19人死于两起爆炸事件。故 D为正确答案。 A“袭击发生在 al-Zahraa控制区域 ”并非国家电视台的发言。 B“有 32人遇害 ”是叙利亚人权观察员说的 (The Syrian Observatory for Hu

35、找不到好例子支撑自己的观点 ”、 B“他找不到宁静的地方做作业 ”和 C“他不知道如何描述乡村美景 ”均是随意拼凑，利用原词 point， peaceful， assignment和 country进行干扰，实际与听力原文不符。 【知识模块】 听力 10 【正确答案】 D 【试题解析】 男士说 cross-country skiing跟坐在某个地方看云飘过是不同的 (Its not like) ， D是原文的原词复现，因此为答案。 A“在起居室看电视 ”、 B“在百货商店购物 ”和 C“去某个地方欣赏美景 ”录音未提及。 【知识模块】 听力 11 【正确答案】 A 【试题解析】 女士说写作时常
