18、at is the most serious challenge of the new president? 1 【正确答案】 D 【试题解析】 新闻提到，当地人组成了游行队伍，要求国家的天然气工业国有化(nationalization of the countrys gas industry)，同时要求进行宪法改革(constitutional reform)。故正确答案为 D。由新闻可知，抗议者反对的是外国公司和政府对本国自然资源的开采，故这种开采已在进行，不是抗议者的要求，排除A。 B中的 “新选举 ”并没有在新闻中提到。 C错在 “对本国人口的经济回报 ”，这并不是抗议者的诉求。 【知
19、识模块】 短篇新闻听力 2 【正确答案】 C 【试题解析】 新闻的末尾提到，克服目前国内巨大的贫富差异 (Overcoming the shocking inequality of life)是当下最严峻的挑战，也是唯一能确保未来和平的方法， C将新闻中的 overcome换成了 narrow“缩窄 ”，所表达的意思与新闻一致，故为答案。新闻中已明确提到，召开选举 (calling elections)和决定玻利维亚自然资源的未来 (deciding the future of Bolivias natural resources)并不是总统要紧的事，故排除 A、 D。 B“平息抗议者的愤怒
20、”并没有在新闻中提到。 【知识模块】 短篇新闻听力 3 【听力原文】 In this second appearance before the U.N.

The Modern Language Association says the number of U.S. college students taking a Korean language class rose by almost 45% over the last few years
25、. The group notes that the increase comes at a time when the number of college students taking foreign language classes has declined. Many people around the world like the sound of K-pop, Korean popular music. Also, the children of Korean immigrants want to speak to their parents and grandparents in
26、 Korean. Professor Sung-Ock Sohn teaches Korean classes at UCLA. She says another reason people want to learn the language is the growing economic power of South Korea. Professor David Schaberg, Dean of Humanities at the University of California, says the popularity of Korean language training is al
27、so affecting American culture. He says it shows that American culture is becoming more Asian, or at least opening up to more Asian influences.

28、ty of K-pop and the rising number of Korean-Americans seeking to re-connect with older family members. 5. What is K-pop? 6. Why is Korean gaining popularity in the U.S. recently? 7. What does Professor Schaberg think of this phenomenon? 5 【正确答案】 D 【试题解析】 新闻从开始就一直围绕着韩语学习的热潮，在新闻前段可以明确听到关于 K-pop的解释 (K-
29、pop， Korean popular music)，故答案是 D。 A“学习韩语的学生 ”、 B“韩国移民的孩子 ”是根据新闻主要内容 (韩语学习在美 国的流行 )而捏造的干扰项。 C将新闻中的 music扩大成了 culture。 【知识模块】 短篇新闻听力 6 【正确答案】 D 【试题解析】 新闻中提到，韩语学习在全美很快开始流行的原因有：人们喜欢听韩国流行音乐、韩国移民后代想跟长辈交流以及韩国经济实力的增长 (growing economic power of South Korea)， D与最后一个原因相符，故为答案。新闻中说学习韩语的美国大学生人数增加，是韩语受欢迎的表现而非原因，
30、且 A“美国大学生人数在过去几年增加 ”也有没有新闻中提及。 B错在 TV series，人们喜欢的是韩国流行音乐，而不是韩剧。 C错在 native speakers，移民的孩子是想与其长辈交流，与美国当地人交流并不需要说韩语。 【知识模块】 短篇新闻听力 7 【正确答案】 C 【试题解析】 新闻中提到两位教授，他们都对此现象都发表了意见，注意本题问的是 Schaberg的意见。他的观点是韩语学习走俏对美国文化也有很大影响，美国文化开始更亚洲化 (American culture is becoming more Asian)。 C内容与此一致，为答案。注意 B“亚洲的 文化受到美国的巨大影
31、响 ”与新闻的说法刚好相反了。 【知识模块】 短篇新闻听力 8 【听力原文】 Many organizations around the United States hold canned food drives to help those in need.

32、-canning truck on a tour of North America.

About 30 people crowd into a small barn on a farm just outside of
33、Freeport, Illinois. They work in shifts, from 5 in the morning until 10 at night. Over the course of two days, they cook and can over 6,300 kilos of turkey meat to be sent to hungry people all over the world. 1. What is the news report mainly about? 2. How long do the volunteers work in a small barn
34、 on a farm outside of Freeport? 8 【正确答案】 B 【试题解析】 主旨大意题。新闻提到，美国许多宗教组织赠送罐装食品，帮助世界上那些饥饿的和需要帮助的人们。故答案为 B。主旨大意题应注意听新闻的开头和结尾。 A“美国宗教组织的传统：肉类罐头 ”、 C“美国宗教组织如何罐装食物 ”和 D“罐头食品在全球范围内流通 ”都不是新闻的主要内容。 【知识模块】 短篇新闻听力 9 【正确答案】 C 【试题解析】 新闻提到，志愿者从早上 5点工作到晚上 10点，实行轮班制，早上 5点到晚上 10点一共 17小时，故答案为 C。 【知识模块】 短篇新闻听力 10 【听力 原文

36、ng people a chance to get really creative with this tiny hand held device. Theyre being challenged to produce a cell phone film. “It needs to be edited.

What do we learn about the competition from the news? 10 【正确答案】 B 【试题解析】 新闻提到，美国一所大学正在举行一场竞赛，竞赛内容是用手机拍摄电影 (produce a cell ph
38、one film)。故答案为 B。 【知识模块】 短篇新闻听力 11 【正确答案】 A 【试题解析】 新闻提到，竞赛组织者说道，参赛的电影必须全都用手机拍摄， A复现原文，为正确答案。新闻提到该项比赛只对年轻人开 放 (giving young people a chance to) ， B错在对 “所有年龄段 ”开放。 C“背景音乐是电影最重要的一部分 ”过分夸大音乐的作用，新闻只是说电影需要声音，可以附上音乐。 D“最好的电影将与其他形式获奖的电影区别很大 ”与新闻末尾相反。 【知识模块】 短篇新闻听力 12 【听力原文】 UP to 32 people were killed in tw
39、o bomb attacks Monday in the Syrian city of Horns, near the border with Lebanon. The second attack killed people who gathered to see the damage of an earlier car bomb. A suicide bomber entered the crowd and exploded a bomb hidden in clothing. The attacks took place in the al-Zahraa district, in the
40、central part of the city. State-controlled media say 19 people were killed in the two bombings. The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights says 32 people were killed. Many others were hurt. It was the second major attack in Horns since the government and rebel forces reached a ceasefire agreement this
41、month. The government will take back areas of the city controlled by rebels. On December 12, two bombings killed at least 16 people. Those attacks also took place in the al-Zahraa district. The Islamic State terrorist group claimed responsibility for the attacks. The Wall Street Journal newspaper re
42、ports that many people who live in the neighborhood are members of the Alawite sect. The newspaper reports the area is often “attacked by anti-government rebels armed with rockets and vehicle bombs.“ 5. What do we learn about the bomb attacks from the news report? 6. What did the state-controlled me
43、dia say? 7. What happened on December 12? 12 【正确答案】 B 【试题解析】 新闻开头说到，在靠近黎巴嫩边界的叙利亚城市 Homs发生两起爆炸袭击事件，造成多达 32人死亡。 B“爆炸袭击发生在 Homs”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】 短篇新闻听力 13 【正确答案】 D 【试题解析】 注意本题要听清楚是问 state-controlled media“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
44、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 Human Rights)。 C“很快就会有另一次袭击 ”没有在新闻中提到。 【知识模块】 短篇新闻听力 14 【正确答案】 C 【试题解析】 本题的关键是听清楚问题问的时间点是 December 12。新闻末尾部分提到，在 12月 12日，发生的两起爆炸事件造成至少 16人死亡，这些袭击也是发生在 al-Zahraa区，故答案为 C。 A、 B所说的事件也在新闻中出现，但并不是发生在 12月 12
45、日， D拼凑新闻中的 anti-government rebels和 The Wall Street Journal，并没有实际根据。 【知识模块】 短篇新闻听力 Section B 15 【听力原文】 W: Dr. Carters Office. M: Yes, Id like to make an appointment to see Dr. Carter, please.
