27、与本篇新闻的基调 (强调学习科学和数学的重要性 )相反。 B中的major change虽然有在新闻中提及，但那是 Prof Donald将要在下周的科学节上要提出的观点，新闻的重点也不在教育的转变。 D“Prof Donald下周将在英国科学节发表演讲 ”，虽然在新闻中有提及，但文章主要讲述的是她关于数学和科学的观点，而非演讲这件事。 【知识模块】 听力 6 【正确答案】 B 【试题解析】 新闻提 到 Prof Donald发言的几方面内容，提到更多年轻人应该对科学感兴趣 (more young people need to be interested inscience) ，不会因喜欢科学
28、而感到不自在， B复现了原文原词，为答案。 A“人们需要允许在数学和科技方面做出恰当的选择 ”，录音中说的是对自己的生活作出选择 (make good decisions in their private lives)。 C“强迫学生从 18岁开始做科目选择 ”，录音中说的是 14岁。D“国家会分为科技人群和艺术人群 ”并不是 Prof Donald的观点，只是英国的现状。 【知识模块】 听力 7 【正确答案】 B 【试题解析】 新闻最后提到，如果你对莎士比亚和奥斯丁不够了解的话，可能会被他人嘲笑 (we may be laughed at if our knowledge of Shakes
29、peare or Austen isnt perfect)，故 B正确。新闻中 its OK对应的是不学数学 (never do maths)，而不是不懂莎士比亚，故 A错误。 C“你可能会做不利的决定 ”是新闻开头提到缺乏基本科学和数学技能的成 年人的表现，与题目无关。 D“你从不做数学 ”是与题目作对比的情况，也是答非所问。 【知识模块】 听力 Section B 8 【听力原文】 W: Good afternoon, Mr. Jones.

35、作了几年，并且是一个部门的管理人员，因此答案为 B。 A中的 owned a small retail business“经营小零售生意 ”对话中没有出现，直接排除；男士提到，因为要去上夜校所以目前在做兼职， C“他一直在底特律附近的一所学校做兼职 ”表述有误；男士说的是他曾在一所地方性大学学过西班牙语，而不是教过西班牙语，因此 D错误。 【知识模块】 听力 9 【正确答案】 D 【试题解析】 男士说几个月后就会完成所学课程 ，并且想找一份肩负更多职责的全职工作。因此答案为 D。 A“想要一份要求更低的工作 ”和男士的说法正好相反；男士没有提过对工作地点和工资的要求，故 B“他喜欢在离家不远的
36、公司工作 ”和C“他迫切想要一份工资更高的工作 ”均应排除。 【知识模块】 听力 10 【正确答案】 A 【试题解析】 在女士问男士技能和兴趣的时候，男士说他擅长电脑并且能说西班牙语，他还非常喜欢旅游。因此答案为 A。 B“运动 ”男士没有提及；男士会说西班牙语，这属于他的专长而非兴趣，并且 “外语 ”这个范围也太大， C排除；男士说的是擅长 computers，而非 D中的 Computer games“电脑游戏 ”，故 D也排除。 【知识模块】 听力 11 【正确答案】 C 【试题解析】 男士向女士提的问题是，什么时候可以告知他工作申请的情况， C是原文表述的原词再现，因此为答案。男士的问

43、 D。 【知识模块】 听力 13 【正确答案】 B 【试题解析 】 男士对 Lisa说人们说的关于孕妇的事是真的， Lisa问是什么，男士说是孕妇看起来非常漂亮了， Lisa马上说有很多人在关注她，这侧面表明 Lisa是孕妇，因此答案为 B。 A的 “50岁以上 ”在对话中出现过，但指的是关注 Lisa的人都是年过 50的男性； C的 project“项目 ”一词也在对话中出现过，但说的是使男士受益匪浅并且仍在运营的一个项目，而非女士刚完成了项目； D“女销售员 ”对话未提及，从对话中也无法得知 Lisa的职业。 【知识模块】 听力 14 【正确答案】 A 【试题解析】 当男士说那个使 他受益
44、匪浅的项目仍在运营的事实使他惊讶时，女士说这正是因为他们有男士这个优秀的销售经理，由此可知男士的职位是 a sales manager。因此答案为 A。 B“CEO”在对话中没有提到，同时 a giant company“大型公司 ”也与对话中男士反复强调的 “小公司 ”不符； C“擅长商业管理 ”和 D“他很会照顾 Lisa均未在对话中涉及。 【知识模块】 听力 15 【正确答案】 D 【试题解析】 男士说他们的小公司正处于危险之中，原因是已经落伍，需要扩张，否则就会被大公司吞并。由此判断男士认为他们的小 公司急需进一步发展。因此答案为 D。男士提到 “公司处于危险之中 ”，因此 A的 we
