30、解析】 该句主语 This指的是上下文高频出现的 positive。 6 【正确答案】 A 【试题解析】 A只是将原文的关键词重新排序了而已。 7 【正确答案】 D 【试题解析】 imbue对应原文的 instill， D将原文的 Becoming a lifelong learner转述为动词短语。 8 【正确答案】 B 【试题解析】 冒号前的 Persistent是 B中 persistence的形容词形式。 9 【正确答案】 strike a balance between/balance 【试题解析】 答案可以是原文的短语，也可以简化为一 个及物动词 balance。 10 【正确答案
31、】 innovate/be different from others 【试题解析】 虽然 mediocre不是一个熟词，但是根据构词法不难识别它是此秘籍中最后一个词 mediocrity(平庸 )的形容词形式。前文的祈使句中的实义词就是此题答案。 11 【正确答案】 honest and dependable 【试题解析】 此处需要形容词，不能填 take responsibility。在列举结构中最高级一般出现在开头或结尾处。 Section A Directions: In this section, you will hear 8 short conversations and 2 l

34、自己如果选两个专业，就不用再多学一个学位了。女士则轻描淡写地指出人们没有意识到主修一个专业辅修一个专业和修两个一样有价值。其实是建议男士选一个主修一个辅修。本题要求学生熟悉学位、主修和辅修的英语表达。 13 【听力原文】 W: I cant find the stationery store on the road. Should I call them? M: Save your breath, Jane. They are long gone. Q: What does the man mean? 13 【正确答案】 A 【试题解析】 be gone“消失了 ”，在这个对话里应该理解为 “
35、关门倒闭了 ”。另外第一人问是不是应该给文具店打电话时，第二人说的 “save your breath”(别白费力了、省口气吧 )也从侧面说明 call them已经没有必要了。 be gone的最相近释义应是 close down，此题选 A。 B close只表示 “不营业 ”，没有关门倒闭的意思， C、 D意思相近，都是对原对话的误解。 14 【听力原文】 M: Another cup of coffee? Theres plenty in the pot. W: Id be orerdoing it if I had one more. Q: What does the woman m
36、ean? 14 【正确答案】 A 【试题解析】 本题重点在女士的答话上， “Id be overdoing it if I had one more.”用了虚拟语气，意思是我要是再来一杯就喝得过多了。 overdo是 “过度、过火 ”的意思，在这里指喝得过多。女士这样说暗示自己已经喝 得很多 (she is full)，不能再喝了。 15 【听力原文】 W: Are you going to Lindas party tonight? M: Are you kidding? I wouldnt miss it for anything. Q: What does the man mean? 1

I meant to, but I was SO busy that it slipped my mind. Q: What does the man mean? 17 【正确答案】 A 【试题解析】 slip ones mind的意思是 “忘记了 ”，男士本打算告诉女士课被取消
39、的事的，结果因为太忙忘记了。 A的释义正确， B是说男士忙得抽不出时间告诉女士，错误； C与事实不符； D对 slip my mind的理解错误。 18 【听力原文】 W: Wow, I am so moved to receive such a thoughtful gift from Karen. M: Yeah, she really has a heart of gold. Q: What can be inferred about Karen? 18 【正确答案】 A 【试题解析】 短语 have a heart of gold相当于汉语里 “有一颗金子般的心 ”这种表达，指某人心地
40、非常善良，且根据对话的上下文得知 Karen送给女士一份考虑得非常周到的礼物，男士称赞她 she has a heart of gold，选项中 A的意思与此对应。 19 【听力原文】 M: So, when are the other guys going to get here? The flight is taking off in 45 minutes.

41、ody when to meet here. Q: When is the plane taking off? 19 【正确答案】 C 【试题解析】 此题需做简单运算，由男士的话可知飞机再过 45分钟就要起飞了，而且再过 5分钟就停 止检票了。由女士的话可知现在是 10:30，那些人应该 10分钟前就到的。这些数字中 5分钟和 10分钟都是干扰信息，可以不管。利用剩下两个数字信息进行一下运算可知飞机起飞的时间应该是 11:15。 20 【听力原文】 W: You dont look smart this morning. I can see youre not happy. M: I had
42、never expected this would have happened to me. We had a power failure at home last night. W: How come? Did anyone in the family do anything wrong? M: Youve guessed it. It was all my fathers fault.

46、，没想到突然断电了，停电的具体时间在后面部分提到。 power failure是固定搭配，表示 “停电 ”，不要将 fault误听成 foot。 21 【正确答案】 B 【试题解析】 男士家昨晚用电负荷大的因素包括 A、 C和 D三项，但导致断电的直接原因是他的父亲用微波炉，因为他一插插头 电就断了，不抓住提干中的immediate本题就无从解答。 22 【正确答案】 D 【试题解析】 本题题型属于预测将要发生的事情。女士提醒男士今天晚上有篮球决赛， miss应理解为 forget to watch。选项中正确把握这句话大意的是 D项，男士自己并不参加比赛。 23 【听力原文】 W: What
