17、lorer“s exploring into the Arctic.D.The scientific research in Cambridge University.解析：听力原文 Research into the icecap of North Pole has found that it is melting so quickly that the Arctic Ocean could lose most of its ice during summer time in as little as ten years. Scientists of Cambridge University
18、 say recent exploration to the Arctic led by explorer Pen Hadow found ice was much thinner than expected and less dense, subject to rapid melting. Mr. Hadow said the finding should act as a wake-up call. The long-term view for the global community, this is definitely not good news. But if we can see
19、 this for what it is which is the biggest visual cue that we are going to get to manage our relationship with the planet better, then that is a good thing. What is this news item mainly about? 解析 主旨大意题。新闻中报道：北极积冰的融化速度太快(it is melting so quickly)导致北冰洋冰雪将在 10 个夏天之后基本融掉。剑桥大学的科学家们说最近的北极探险发现冰块比想象中的更薄、更稀了
20、。可见新闻主要是说北极冰雪的快速融化。B 项中的 The increased melting 是对原文的同义改写，故答案是 B 项。A 项“建设地球村的建议”在新闻中没有提到。虽然剑桥大学的科学家们说最近的北极探险发现冰块比想象中的更薄了，但这是为了引出北极积冰融化加快这一主题，C 项“探险队员到北极探险”和 D 项“剑桥大学的科学研究”都不是新闻的主要内容。A.People maintain the harmony between the human and the earth. B.People in the global village do something to stop ice
21、from melting.C.The researchers in Cambridge University do more researches.D.There is more and more concern and attention on global community.解析：听力原文 How can the bad news become a good one? 解析 新闻中指出，从长远来看，对于地球来说这绝对不是个好消息。但是，如果我们能把这件事看成对我们最重要的提示：设法更好地处理人类和地球关系的话(get to manage our relationship with the
22、 planet better)，那将是一件好事。故正确答案是 A 项。B 项“地球人采取某些行动阻止积冰消融”、C项“剑桥大学的研究人员做更多研究”和 D 项“地球村得到越来越多的关注”均没有在新闻中提到。Questions 3 and 4 will be based on the following news item. （分数：8.00）A.57.B.54.C.3. D.1.解析：听力原文 Fifty-seven “militiamen“, including several high-ranking officers loyal to militia leader Gabriel Tan
23、g, were killed when Tang“s forces attacked the Sudan People“s Liberation Army in Southern Sudan, officials said Sunday. Tang“s forces launched the attack at Kaldak on Saturday, the Sudan People“s Liberation Army (SPLA) said in a statement issued on behalf of General Malaak Ayuen of the South Sudan A
24、rmy. The SPLA is the military wing of the movement that governs Southern Sudan. The SPLA killed 57 of Tang“s forces, including three major generals, according to the statement. In addition, one major general was captured, the statement said. Tang himself “narrowly escaped“ the fighting, according to
25、 the statement. Officials said it was unclear why Tang“s forces attacked the troops, but the SPLA said it believes he has been in contact with other rebel groups in the region. How many major generals were killed in the attack? 解析 新闻中提到有 57 个人被杀，包括 3 名少将(three major generals)，选 C 项。数字题在听音时要做笔记，在数字旁标
26、上相应的信息。本题要听清问的是 major generals。A.DiedB.Being captured.C.Being imprisoned.D.Survived. 解析：听力原文 How was Gabriel Tang after the attack? 解析 新闻中指出 Tang “narrowly escaped“ the fighting，意为“幸免于难”，故选 D 项。Questions 5 to 7 will be based on the following news item. （分数：12.00）A.The Paris of the West.B.The heroism
27、 of the survivors.C.100th anniversary of the Great Earthquake. D.The immense destruction.解析：听力原文 Thousands will gather in the city center just after 5:00 am on Tuesday, April 18, to remember victims of the Great Earthquake. Organizers say they will also celebrate the heroism of the survivors. One hu
28、ndred years ago, the first small shock struck at 5:12 in the morning, and the region shook violently for one minute. A center of culture and commerce, San Francisco was then known as the Paris of the West. Just hours earlier, Italian tenor Enrico Caruso had appeared in the opera Carmen at the city“s
29、 opera house. The singer later recalled trembling with fear as he looked out of the window of his room at the Palace Hotel. He saw buildings collapse, and heard the screams of men, women and children. Historian Eileen Keremitsis is a volunteer guide who describes the tragic story for visitors. The q
30、uake was massive and it was centered just off the coast close to the city. The shaking damaged or destroyed thousands of buildings over a wide area, but Keremitsis says most of the severe destruction was caused by fires that burned uncontrolled for three days. What does the news item mainly report?
31、解析 新闻首句提到，4 月 18 日(星期二)，数千人将于早上 5 点后聚集在市中心来悼念大地震的遇难者。接着新闻通过不同人的经历回顾了 100 年前的旧金山大地震。故 C 项“大地震 100 周年纪念”正确。新闻提到旧金山以“西方的巴黎”著称，A 项只是指出旧金山的别称，故排除。新闻中讲述了幸存者在地震时的见闻以及震后的灾难，但这只是给听众再现了当时的情境，新闻并不是为了歌颂幸存者的英雄气概或报道震后的损失，故排除 B、D 项。A.The earthquake began at 5:00 am.B.The first small shock lasted for one minute.C.H
32、istorian Eileen Keremitsis survived the earthquake.D.The earthquake center was in the ocean. 解析：听力原文 What can we learn about the Great Earthquake? 解析 新闻后半部分提到，那次地震强度大且震中位于城市附近的海域(just off the coast close to the city)，D 项“震中在海洋中”正确。新闻开篇提到的“五点”是人们在市中心聚集纪念大地震的时间，而不是地震发生时间，排除 A 项。第一次轻微的地震是在 5:12，接着开始长达
33、1 分钟的剧烈摇动，故 B 项“一开始的轻微地震持续了 1 分钟”错误。历史学家 Eileen Keremitsis 给民众叙述了这个悲剧，但原文没有提及他是地震的幸存者，排除 C 项。A.The massive shaking degree.B.The uncontrolled three-day fires. C.The panic of men, women and children.D.The flood caused by the quake.解析：听力原文 According to Keremitsis, what caused the most of the destructio
34、n? 解析 新闻结尾处提到，Keremitsis 说，大多数的毁坏是由失控了 3 天的大火导致的(caused by fires)，故 B 项正确。剧烈的摇晃使许多建筑坍塌，但这不是导致损失的主要原因，排除 A 项。C 项“大人和小孩的恐慌”只是地震时人们的反应。D 项“地震引起的洪水”没有在新闻中提到。三、Section B(总题数：0，分数：0.00)四、Conversation One(总题数：1，分数：16.00)Questions 8 to 11 are based on the conversation you have just heard. （分数：16.00）A.Make p
35、hone calls to promote sales.B.Arrange business negotiations.C.Take orders over the phone. D.Handle complaints from customers.解析：听力原文 W: So John, I hear you and Arthur share a job, don“t you? M: Yeah. We“ve shared a sales job at Sonatech for about two years now. W: Well, how do you divide up your sch
36、edule? M: You know, we are both sales representatives, and we take orders over the phone. When we started job sharing it was difficult, because we both worked all day Monday. I worked Tuesday and Thursday and Arthur worked Wednesday and Friday. The problem was that when I was in the office on Tuesda
37、y. I would talk to people, then they would call back on Wednesday with a question. But Arthur couldn“t answer the question and he couldn“t ask me about it because I wasn“t in the office. So he had to ask the people to call me back the next day, Thursday. Of course, they didn“t like to wait until the
38、 next day to have their question answered. W: Yes, that sounds like a problem. M: So, finally we decided that Arthur would work in the mornings and I would work in the afternoons. Now if someone calls with a question for me in the morning, Arthur tells them to call me in the afternoon. This way, peo
39、ple get their questions answered the same day. W: What do you do about vacations? M: Well, Sonatech gives the usual two weeks of vacation to full-time employees, I take a week and Arthur takes a week. W: It sounds like job sharing has worked out well for you. M: Yes, it has. We are both happy with i
40、t. What do John and Arthur do at Sonatech? 解析 通过选项中的 Make phone calls，Arrange business negotiations，Take orders，Handle complaints 可推测问的是工作职责方面的问题。男士在谈到两个人如何分配工作的时候说到他们是通过电话接订单，由此判断选 C。A 的“促销”、B 的“商务谈判”以及 D 的“客户投诉”在对话中均未提及。男士在对话中提到 we take orders over the phone，符合“长对话听到什么选什么”的答题原则。A.Customers“ questi
41、ons could not be answered on the same day. B.Conflicts between them could not be properly solved.C.Customers often mistook one for the other.D.They had different business strategies.解析：听力原文 What problem did John and Arthur have when they started job sharing? 解析 根据选项中的 could not be answered，could not
42、 be properly solved，mistook 可推测本题可能会问他们工作中存在的问题。男士说他们工作的问题就是他周二上班，而客户在周三打电话回来的时候却是 Arthur 接电话，而 Arthur 没法回答问题，只能让客户周四再打电话过来，但客户不喜欢等到第二天才得到答复。由此判断问题在于客户的问题无法当天得到解答，所以选 A。在谈到问题的时候，男士说客户不喜欢问题要第二天才能得到解答，也就是说问题是客户的问题当天得不到解答，A 是男士所说内容的同义替换，B 的“冲突”、C 的“把一个人误认为另一个”和 D 的“不同的商业策略”均未在对话中提及。A.He answers it all
43、by himself.B.He asks them to call back in the afternoon. C.He has the question answered.D.He tells them that he can“t offer any help.解析：听力原文 What is Arthur“s final solution when someone call with a question for John? 解析 根据各选项中的 answers，call back 和 question 可推测提问可能与如何回答电话问题有关。男士说最后他们决定 Arthur 上早上的班，J
44、ohn(对话中的男士)上下午的班，如果有人早上打电话来问 John问题，Arthur 会告诉他们下午再打电话过来，可见 Arthur 最后的解决方法是叫他们下午再打电话过来，B 符合对话原意。Arthur 并没有自己回答问题，也没有让别人回答问题，也没有直接说他帮不上忙，可排除 A、C 和 D。A.They are given two weeks each.B.They like to spend it together.C.They have to take it by turns.D.They each take a week. 解析：听力原文 What does John say abo
45、ut their annual vacation? 解析 通过选项中的 given two weeks，spend it togetther，take it by turns，each take a week可推断本题可能会问如何休假。当被问及似期时，男士说全职员工有两周假期，他休一周，Arthur 休一周，因此选 D。对话中提到“我休一周，Arthur 休一周”，符合“长对话听到什么选什么”的答题原则。五、Conversation Two(总题数：1，分数：16.00)Questions 12 to 15 are based on the conversation you have just
46、 heard. （分数：16.00）A.At a road crossing.B.Near a school. C.Outside a police station.D.In front of a kindergarten.解析：听力原文 W: May I see your license, please? M: But officer, did I do something wrong? W: Do you mean to say you didn“t see the speed limit sign back there? M: Um, no, ma“am , I guess I didn
47、“t. W: In other words, you drove by too fast to read it. The sign says 35m/h. A school is just nearby, you know? M: Don“t get me wrong, but my speedometer didn“t read much faster than that. W: Then, why is it that my radar showed you were going 45? Let me put it another way. I“m going to have to giv
48、e you a ticket. Again, may I see your license, please? M: Here it is, officer. But let me explain. I was late for an important appointment and I was worried that I wouldn“t make it on time. So. W: Um ha, just a minute, here. Your license is no longer valid. You should have renewed it two weeks ago.
49、I“m going to have to write you up for that, too. M: What? Really? W: Your license becomes invalid on your birthday and that was two weeks ago according to the date here. You are in violation of the lawdriving without a valid license. M: I“m sorry, ma“am. I hadn“t realized that. W: Here“s the ticket for not having a valid license. But I“m only going to give you a warning about exceeding the speed limit. Be careful next time. M: Yes, ma“am, officer, I will. Thank you. Where was the man stopped by the police officer? 解析 选项都是关于地点的介词短语，因此
