17、. Q: What can we conclude from the above conversation? 解析 本题属于一般疑问句题。第二个说话者回答 no 之后说的话即是答案之所在。故选 C。A.Mother and son.B.Lawyer and client.C.Teacher and student.D.Dentist and patient. 解析：听力原文 W: Open wide. Now show me where it hurts . M: Here on the bottom, especially when I bite into something cold or
18、 hot. Q: What is the most probable relationship between the two speakers? 解析 本题是人物关系题。由 open，hurts 及 bite 等关键词不难得出答案为 D“牙医和病人”。A.8:50.B.9:00. C.8:15.D.10:00.解析：听力原文 M: Could you give me some information about buses for Washington, please? W: They leave every hour on the hour. You just missed the 8 o
19、“clock bus. It left 5 minutes ago. Q: When will the next bus leave? 解析 本题考查对时间的理解。every hour 说明了频率，on the hour 表示整点发车，8 点的一班车 5分钟前刚离开，下一班车应该是 9 点出发，即 B。A.At home.B.In a restaurant.C.In a department store.D.In a factory. 解析：听力原文 M: Who puts the candy into the boxes? W: That“s done by a machine which
20、is able to count them automatically. Please, this way. I“ll show you now. Q: Where are the two speakers probably? 解析 地点题是短对话中常考的题型之一。读题重点在于理解相应的地点名词所确立的语境，以及在该语境下的关键词。由本题的关键信息 done by a machine 可知他们在工厂。A.She thinks the salesman played his part well.B.She thinks the salesman exaggerated his part. C.S
21、he thinks the salesman was realistic.D.She thinks the salesman was not dramatic enough.解析：听力原文 M: How did you like the film? W: Generally speaking, it was very good. The part of the maid was played beautifully, but I thought the man who played the salesman was too dramatic to be realistic. Q: How do
22、es the woman feel about the salesman in the movie? 解析 预读选项可知，这是一道观点态度题。本题的解题关键在于把握第二个说话者 but 之后的内容。too dramatic to be realistic 说明戏剧化了以至于不真实，也即太夸张了，故选 B。（分数：9.00）A.They are quite different in painting skills.B.Neither of them is good at house-painting.C.They are equally good at house-painting. D.Bot
23、h of them will be asked to paint the house.解析：听力原文 W: I can“t make up my mind whether to ask Larry or Bill to paint the house. M: What difference does it make? They“re both excellent painters. Q: What can be inferred about Larry and Bill? 解析 预读选项可知，本题是对两者进行比较。both excellent 即 equally good，话题是 paint
24、the house，故 C 正确。A.Tim is a brave man.B.Tim“s plan is foolish. C.Tim is wise to quit.D.Tim has found a new job.解析：听力原文 W: Hi, Mike. Tim says he“s planning to quit Iris present job. M: He“s really mad. Q: What does the mall believe? 解析 题目询问男士持什么观点。关键在于理解 foolish 是 mad 的同义表达，故 B 为答案。A、D 在对话中未提及，C 与男士的
25、观点完全相反。A.Pay Marsha for the bookshelf.B.Ask Marsha where the bookshelf is.C.Check for the book on Marsha“s shelf.D.Ask Marsha if she has an extra bookshelf. 解析：听力原文 M: Do you know anyone who has a spare bookshelf?. W: Have you checked with Marsha? Q: What does the woman suggest the man do? 解析 本题属于建议
26、题，使用一般疑问句提出建议。extra 对应 spare，话题是 who has a spare bookshelf，故选 D。（分数：9.00）A.Go to summer school.B.Take a vacation.C.Stay at home.D.Earn some money. 解析：听力原文 M: I really don“t know what to do this summer. I can“t afford to just sit around, and there don“t seem to be any jobs available. W: Why don“t you
27、 try house-sitting? Last summer my friend Margaret house-sat for the Dodds when they went away on vacation. Mr. Dodd hired Margaret to stay in their house because he didn“t want it left empty. M: You mean the Dodds paid Margaret just to live in their house? W: It wasn“t that easy. She had to mow and
28、 water the houseplants. And when Eric house-sat for Mr. Cohen, he had to take care of his pets. M: House-sitting sounds like a good job. I guess it“s a little like baby-sittingexcept you“re taking care of a house instead of children. W: The student employment office still has a few jobs posted. M: D
29、o I just have to fill out an application? W: Margaret and Eric had to interview with the houseowners and provide three references each. M: That seems like a lot of trouble for a summer job. W: The houseowners want some guarantee that they can trust the house-sitters. You know, they want to make sure
30、 you“re not the type who will throw wild parties in their house, or move a group of friends in with you. M: House-sitters who do that sort of thing probably aren“t paid then. W: Usually they are paid anyway just because the homeowners don“t want to make a fuss. But if the homeowner reported it, then
31、 the house-sitter wouldn“t get another job. So, why don“t you apply? What does the man want to do this summer? 解析 推断题。男士说他不能只是闲着(sit around)，但又没有现成的工作(jobs available)，说明他想干些工作、赚些钱，D 项符合此意。对话开头往往是出题之处。A.They hired someone to stay in their home. B.They left their pets with their neighbors.C.They rente
32、d their house to a student.D.They asked their gardener to watch their home.解析：听力原文 What did the Dodds do when they went away last summer? 解析 细节题。A 是对原文 hired Margaret to stay in their house 的另一种表述方法，故为答案。C是强干扰项，对话讨论的并不是租房子，而是雇人看房子。提问处是考点，其实就是对上文叙述的一个总结。A.Walking the dog.B.Cutting the grass.C.Watchin
33、g the children. D.Feeding the fish.解析：听力原文 What is one responsibility the house-sitter probably won“t have? 解析 细节题，选项都是家务事。A、D 两项属于 take care of his pets 的范围，而 B 项则属于 water the houseplants 的范围。排除 A、B、D 三项，即可得到答案 C。此外，C 是 baby-sitter 的职责，与本对话的话题(house-sitting)不一致。注意 except，instead of 这类词出现的地方，往往是出题之处
34、。（分数：12.00）A.The size of the campus.B.The city bus system.C.The length of time for each class.D.The university bus system. 解析：听力原文 M: Can you tell me something about the university shuttle bus system? This is such a large campus, and I have classes all over campus. I need to take the shuttle bus fro
35、m one class to another, or I“ll never make it on time. W: What do you need to know? I think it“s a really great system. M: First of all, where does it go? W: The university shuttle bus system goes all over campus. It doesn“t leave the campus; if you want to travel off-campus, you“ll need to take the
36、 city bus system. But the university shuttle bus system will get you from one class to the next very efficiently. M: And how much does it cost? W: It“s free, can you believe it? So you don“t have to pay a cent to get all around the university campus. M: That“s really great. And how do I catch the sh
37、uttle bus? W: Just look for one of the bright yellow shuttle bus signs, and go stand next to it. You can see the yellow shuttle bus signs all over campus. A shuttle bus will come along approximately every five minutes, so you shouldn“t have to wait long. M: That all sounds good. Thanks for your help
38、. W: No problem. What are the man and woman discussing? 解析 选项全是名词短语，问对话主题的几率颇大。对话的开头的第一句话就点出了答案所在，即 D。如果实在没有听懂第一句话，后面还有机会听出答案，因为全文讲的都是 the university bus system。A.The entire campus. B.Part of the campus.C.The campus and the city.D.Only the off-campus areas.解析：听力原文 What area does the university shutt
39、le bus cover? 解析 选项都是地点和范围，而且选项之间有包孕关系。在范围上，C 包含 A、B 和 D，所以可以初步排除 C。听到第一句话讲的是 the university bus system，就可以排除 D(人家说了是校内巴士，怎么会包括校外地区呢)。所以关键是要听清巴士线路是否通达全校。标志词组“First of all”后面紧跟着一个问句，注意听答案。A 正确。A.Nothing. B.Three dollars.C.A few cents.D.Fifty cents.解析：听力原文 How much does the shuttle bus cost? 解析 从选项可以看
40、出，问的是“多少钱”，马上就知道一定是问巴士车票多少钱。根据关键表达free(免费的)和 don“t have to pay a cent，可知答案为 A。A.Red.B.Green.C.Yellow. D.Blue.解析：听力原文 What color are the shuttle bus signs? 解析 看到选项都是颜色，就要格外留神听对话中出现颜色的地方。对话两次提到 yellow 这个词，且未提及其他颜色，故不难得出答案 C。三、Section B(总题数：3，分数：30.00)（分数：9.00）A.Adjusting his biological clock. B.Knowin
41、g the direction of a jet.C.Realizing the time difference during flight.D.Getting used to the weather of a new place.解析：听力原文 Jet lag, caused by traveling between time zones, is becoming a common problem for frequent travelers: for 49 percent it is only a nuisance and for 45 percent it is a real probl
42、em. It is caused by disruption to the internal biological clock, and may lead to digestive problems, tiredness, and sleep disruption. Generally speaking, our biological clock is slightly disturbed if we just move into the next time zone, but jet lag becomes a problem once we have passed through thre
43、e or four time zones. The body takes about one day to get over each hour of time difference. But the seriousness of jet lag problems also depends on our direction of travel. If we travel west we will be in advance of ourselves as far as our internal clock is concerned, and problems may arise. A west
44、-to-east journey, on the other hand, makes us late compared to the local time. It often demands even greater effort in adjustment since we are not quick enough to catch up with the new time schedule. Therefore, a trip from New York to Los Angeles often causes fewer problems than a Los Angeles-New Yo
45、rk trip. What“s the problem a person suffers from when traveling between time zones? 解析 录音开头就提到 Jet lag，第 2 句就说明它的起因是“人体内部的生物钟被打乱”，故答案为 A。A.24.B.36.C.48.D.72. 解析：听力原文 How many hours does one need to get over his jet lag problem if he travels across three time zones? 解析 数字题，一般要做记录并进行简单的运算。原文说到 1 个小时的
46、时差需要 1 天来调整，那么 3 个时区就是 3 个小时的时差，所以应该用 3 天即 72 个小时，D 正确。A.To explain the cause of jet lag problems. B.To teach us how to avoid jet lag problems.C.To explain the differences between time zones.D.To show the ways to arrange time properly.解析：听力原文 What“s the main purpose of the passage? 解析 主旨题。录音的话题是 jet
47、 lag problems，但只是客观陈述现象和原因，并未提及避免的方法，故 A 对而 B 错。（分数：9.00）A.A person who writes on the Internet.B.A personal website. C.An activity that does not last long.D.A way of writing.解析：听力原文 A “blogger“ is a person who writes on an Internet computer website called a “blog“. The word “blog“ is a short way of
48、saying Web log, or personal website. Anyone can start a blog, and they can write about anything they like. There are millions of blogs on the Internet today. They provide news, information and ideas to many people who read them. They contain links to other websites. And they provide a place for peop
49、le to write their ideas and react to the ideas of others. A research company called Perseus has studied more than 3,000 Web logs. It says that blogs are most popular with teenage girls. They use them to let their friends know what is happening in their lives. The study also says that more than 100,000 bloggers stopped taking part in t
