14、.Section A_解析:A.Learn about the history of American society.B.Appreciate the contributions of African Americans. C.Visit famed national museums and monuments.D.Donate money to build new museums.解析:解析:新闻中提到,二月是黑人历史月,鼓励美国人去了解以及感恩非裔美国人对美国社会做出的众多贡献,故 B正确。A“学习美国历史”、C“参观著名的国家博物馆和纪念碑”和 D“捐款建造一座新的博物馆”都不是黑人历
15、史月鼓励美国人去做的事。A.To join association of museums.B.To collect money from architects.C.To choose donors.D.To build a new museum. 解析:解析:新闻中提到,Smithsonian Institution 宣布要建一个“非裔美国人历史与文化国家博物馆”(National Museum of African American History and Culture )。故答案为 D“建造新博物馆”。A 利用新闻中的 join和 museum制造干扰,但“博物馆协会”没有在新闻中出现。
16、新闻中提到建造博物馆之前,要先选定建筑师(architect must be chosen)、征集收藏品(collection must be assembled)和募捐建造博物馆的费用(halfprice tag must be provided from private donors),B、C 项胡乱拼凑了这些信息点,并不是 Smithsonian Institution真正要做的事。A.Several. B.80.C.More than 800.D.Several hundred.解析:解析:新闻提到,泰国官方已经确认 80名缅甸工人在海啸中丧生。同时,在 800多具没有确定身份的遇难者
17、尸体中,泰国官方认为其中有一些为缅甸人(several of the)。故 A正确。A.They were employed by contractors.B.They overlooked the government aid.C.They called attention to the problems of migrants.D.They were unable to get government aid. 解析:解析:新闻提到,那些在海啸中幸免于难的人发现他们的工作没了,家和财产也被海啸冲走了,并且他们也得不到政府的援助(unable to get government aid)。故
18、D正确,并同时可以排除 B“他们忽视政府的援助”。A“他们被包工头雇用了”和新闻说的“他们工作没了”(their jobswere gone)相反。C所说的“引起对移民问题的关注”是泰国劳工活跃分子 Adisorn Kurdmongkol的呼吁,与海啸幸存者无关。A.To help companies make more money.B.To gain reputation around the world.C.To keep temperatures at a low level.D.To control the change of climate. 解析:解析:新闻开头提到,巴黎协定(Pa
19、ris agreement)呼吁减少对化石燃料的使用及其排放的温室气体,尤其是二氧化碳,其目的是控制气候变化(to curb climate change)。D 中的 control the change of climate和新闻中的 curb climate change含义相同,为本题答案。A 是利用新闻末尾的 profitable编造的信息,新闻中说该工厂不盈利所以没有投资吸引力,A 与新闻内容相反。B“在全球范围内获得名声”未在新闻中提到。C 中的 temperature有在新闻中出现,但是新闻中说新能源并不能有效抑制气温升到危险水平,并未提及气温应控制在什么水平。A.Transpo
20、rtation of sands and oil.B.Way to stop emitting carbon dioxide.C.Capture and storage of carbon dioxide. D.Method of exploring more oil.解析:解析:新闻提到,Royal Dutch Shell 是北美的一家石油公司,接着又说它举行了一个盛大的开幕式,进行捕获和储存碳的项目(Quest carbon capture and storage project),故 C为答案。新闻中多次提到 sand和 oil,但并未提及其运输情况(transportation),故排
21、除 A。该项目并非 B所说的“停止排放二氧化碳”,而是要对其进行储存以防止其进入空气中,故排除 B。D 是利用对 Shell公司是石油公司进行干扰,新闻并没有提及要开发更多石油。A.Because it needs governments support.B.Because its hard to acquire the technology.C.Because its not easy to make a profit. D.Because it requires a lot of money.解析:解析:新闻末尾部分提到,Quest project 成本非常高,却只能捕获其产生的二氧化碳总
22、量的三分之一,最后又说不能吸引投资是因为不能盈利(not profitable),由此可知答案为 C。A“需要政府支持”没有在新闻中提到。B 中的 technology出现在新闻中后段,说该技术已存在一段时间,但成本仍然极高,可见该技术并非难以取得,只是价格昂贵。D 干扰性强,该技术确实需要大量资金,但是不具备盈利能力才是无法吸引公司投资的真正原因。3.Section B_解析:A.Bacon and chicken.B.Mushrooms and beef.C.Pineapple and ham. D.Onions and pork.解析:解析:对话中女士说:“我们有意大利式香肠、火腿、蘑菇
23、、洋葱、菠萝、青椒、咸肉和西红柿。”四个选项中,组合正确的是 C“菠萝和火腿”。A 中的 chicken“鸡肉”、B 中的 beef“牛肉”和 D中的 pork“猪肉”女士未提及。A.Pineapple and mushrooms on one half and green peppers and Italian sausage on the other. B.Pineapple and green peppers on one half and mushrooms and Italian sausage on the other.C.Pineapple and mushrooms on on
24、e half and red peppers and Italian sausage on the other.D.Pineapple and red peppers on one half and mushrooms and Italian sausage on the other.解析:解析:男士说:“我要一个半边是菠萝加蘑菇,半边是青椒加意式香肠的双拼比萨。”选项 A是对话的原词再现,正确。听到什么选什么。各选项之间的差异在各种材料的异同及排列组合上。答题关键在于听清各种组合方式。A.The total of his order is $15.90.B.The phone number
25、is 340-1807.C.The address is 1304 South 16 East.D.The customer wants a half-and-half pizza 解析:解析:对话中男士明确提到想要 half-and-half pizza,并且随后还进一步提到每半份披萨上放什么材料,因此 D正确。女士说含税总共是 1519 美元,A 项中的 1590 美元与此不符;B 错在尾号1807,应为 1870;C 错在 1304,应为 1340。A.Three orders of bread sticks for free.B.A three-dollar deduction on
26、the next pizza you order. C.A three-dollar coupon for use this time you order a large pizzaD.A free order of steak.解析:解析:女士说:“如果你现在点任何一款大比萨加饮料,我们都会免费附送一份面包条,外加一张下次点比萨时使用的 3美元抵用券。”由此选项 B正确。选项设置上有些迷惑性,A、D、C 的相关内容对话都有提及,可都有些地方不准确。如 D中,free order 照搬原词,steak 则利用与 stick发音相近进行干扰。A.Friends.B.Coworkers.C.Int
27、erviewer and interviewee. D.Doctor and patient.解析:解析:应聘面试对话的一个重要特征是:面试人主要提问,受试人主要回答问题,对话内容以学习背景、工作经历为主,有时提到工作职责与报酬。若了解这些特点即使没有听到对话中的关键词(我希望你谈谈你目前的工作;你的申请),也可以判断出答案。判断人物关系的情景题,准确的答题依据是对话中出现的关键词。A.He thought Art was useless.B.He was offered a job in a big accounting firm. C.He wanted to go to London t
28、o study Art.D.He wanted to do some interesting things.解析:解析:男士明确说:“我没有学习艺术是因为我父亲的一个朋友给我提供了一个职位,他是伦敦的一个会计师。”It didnt turn out like that 中的 that指前一句中的 study Art。故 B正确。由选项可知,本题应当问“他”有什么想法、做了什么事,或想要做什么事。核心词是 study Art,offer a job,accounting firm,interesting。听到对话中的 I really wanted to study Art,可排除 A,并由随后
29、的否定结构和 because引导的内容得到正确答案。because 处出题。A.Nearly a year.B.Four years.C.Three years. D.Nine months.解析:解析:男士说他去艺术学院读了一个三年期的课程,以取得艺术文凭,可见选 C。A“近一年”是男士说他在会计事务所工作的时间,故排除。B“四年”在录音并未提到。D“九个月”是女士说男士在会计事务所工作的时间,也不对。A.Doing a lot of photography.B.Going to concerts frequently. C.Playing traditional jazz and folk
30、 music.D.Traveling in Africa.解析:解析:男士提到他虽然不演奏乐曲,但是他经常听音乐会,故 B正确。frequently 是 quite a lot of的另一种表达。由动词的现在分词选项可知,本题问动作。A 错在使用了 a lot of,而原文说到拍照片时是说 a bit of;C 中的 play与原文说的 I dont play不符;D 是地点错误,原文是说欧洲而不是非洲。4.Section C_解析:A.The whole routine of life is shattered. B.The need to talk to other people is i
31、ncreasing.C.Nothing is more important than controlling ones own time.D.Nobody is alone in the unemployment experience.解析:解析:短文说:失去工作几乎总是会带来一些令人不快的变化。收入减少之外,许多人还发现整个生活常规全打乱了,与别人的接触减少,雄心受挫,还失去了工作者的身份。A 正确。四个陈述句选项,各自的主语都不相同,选项的主要词汇也没有什么关联。由此可以推测的是,本题应该问细节而非主旨(主旨题各选项中的词语总会相互关联)。可以“听到什么选什么”。短文中的设问句 What
32、are the first feelings?之后出现了 A中的原词,也属于在语义强调之处出题。A.Days are getting longer. B.Days are getting shorter.C.Time becomes easier to fill.D.It is a good opportunity to develop their hobbies.解析:解析:短文中说到:但是如果不能找到一个更好的工作的话,日子可能会变得漫长,时间也变得更难以打发。由此选 A。A、B、C 三个选项说“时间”,D 说“业余爱好”。A、B 语义矛盾,B、C 其实语义一致(等价)。由选项自身可以初步
33、判断答案是 A。But 转折处出题。A.Unemployment brings bad feelings.B.Unemployment brings good feelings.C.One should try to make the best of unemployment. D.Unemployed people are lonely.解析:解析:短文在前两个段落谈到失业的不良影响后,在第三段说“失业也是一个新的开始的机会”,谈如何利用失业重新开始,故答案是 C。A、B 内容矛盾,各执一词,但太绝对化,故不能是答案。A.Cooking.B.Cleaning.C.Skin care. D.P
34、ainting.解析:解析:短文第 2句开始谈植物油的用处,提到了 cooking,paint 和 cleaning products,只有 C项未提及,因而它就是答案。A.50%.B.40%.C.30%.D.20%. 解析:解析:短文提到,大豆的含油量为 20,故选 D。百分比作选项,难点不在猜测问题是什么类型,而在于对文中出现的每个百分比(50 和20)做出准确的笔记。在听到问题后才能根据笔记作答。A.How to release oil from seeds. B.How to test the local market for oil.C.Food and oil.D.Soybean
35、and oil.解析:解析:短文第 1句指出,人类使用植物(种子)油有着漫长的历史。然后谈到植物油的用途,主要的植物油来源以及如何提取植物油,因此,本文的主题是 A。从选项的高度概括性来看,本题当问文章的主旨大意。核心词是 oil,然后每个选项都给出了另一个关键词:seeds,market,food,soybean。本文多处提到 oil和 seeds,因此不难选出答案。其他几项的关键词只是文章中的局部内容,不能充当主题。A.National Similarities and Global Differences.B.World Culture and the Future of Schooli
36、ng.C.National Differences, Global Similarities: World Culture and the Future of Schooling. D.National Similarities, Global Differences: World Culture and the Future of Schooling.解析:解析:C 是由短文提到的书名照搬下来的选项。四个选项都是专有名词,或者问短文的主旨大意,或者问别的什么标题。C、D 的差异只在一个词上(similarities 与 differences),听录音时要多注意。A.The book was
37、 written by David Baker.B.We can find information on about 15 countries in the book.C.The professors started to write the book in 1994.D.The book compares public education systems around the world. 解析:解析:短文第 1句即提到:宾夕法尼亚州立大学的两位教授的一本新书比较了世界各地的公共教育体制。因此 D正确。短文第 l句往往是出题的重点。听到什么选什么。A.Hungary, Malaysia an
38、d the Philippines.B.Hungary, Romania and the Philippines. C.Spain, Romania and the Philippines.D.Hungary, Australia and Iraq.解析:解析:文中提到:“两位教授说,校园暴力最多的国家包括匈牙利、罗马尼亚和菲律宾。”因此 B正确。读题可知,本题问到几个国家名称,这几个国家有着某种共同点。听音时,可一项项“对号入座”。语义强调之处会出题,文中 the most school violence成了选项的标志。A.School violence has nothing to do with the educational system.B.Schools should stop trying to raise scores.C.Schools should treat every student equally. D.Schools should divide students into “winners and losers“.解析:解析:短文最后说到:“Baker 教授说,教育体制的不平等产生了影响。”C 正确。A、B、D 的观点也可以对照短文最后的内容一一排除。此外,绝对化的选项不是答案,可排除 A。B、D 的观点也不符合一般情理。
