14、age.D.Hotels and restaurants in southeast London.大学英语四级改革适用（听力）-试卷 280答案解析(总分：50.00，做题时间：90 分钟)一、Listening Comprehens(总题数：12，分数：50.00)1.Part II Listening Comprehension_解析：2.Section A_解析：A.The effects of floods in the U.S.B.A heavy storm system struck the U.S.C.U.S. states were facing floods threats.
15、 D.Tornadoes destroyed homes in the U.S.解析：解析：新闻开门见山提出主旨：美国 16个州正面临洪水危机(under a flood warning)，紧接着介绍暴风雨引发的一系列美国洪灾。因此新闻主旨就是“美国正面临洪灾危机”。C 正确。A“美国洪灾的影响”只在新闻结尾提到，是部分内容，并非主旨。B“一次严重暴风雨袭击美国”虽然有在新闻中提到，但这只是说明美国洪灾的起因，而不是主要内容。D 错在 Tornadoes，新闻说的是洪灾(flood)，而非卷风。A.It came in early December.B.It ended in Michigan
16、.C.It destroyed buildings near Memphis.D.It caused dozens of deaths. 解析：解析：新闻中提到，数十人死于这场暴雨带来的恶劣条件中(dozens of people died)，故 D正确。A“起于十二月初”与新闻说的“十二月末”(late December)不符。B“终止于密歇根州”，新闻是说该暴雨从新墨西哥到密歇根再一路向东(stretching from New Mexico to Michigan and going its way east)，所以并非在密歇根州结束。C 错在 Memphis，新闻提到暴雨带来的龙卷风催
17、毁建筑是在达拉斯(Dallas)附近，而不是孟菲斯(Memphis)附近。A.Its level was not big enough.B.Its center was deep below the surface. C.It struck rural mountainous areas.D.The constructions it struck are solid.解析：解析：新闻引述地质学家的话指出，由于震中很深，在离地表 130英里处(so deep，more than 130 miles below the surface)，所以影响很有限，故 B正确。新闻中提到，地震等级是 7.5，
18、足以造成巨大的破坏，故 A“等级不够大”错误。C“地震发生在乡村山区”符合新闻末尾提到的内容，但这并不是地震破坏力有限的原因。D“地震发生地区的建筑物很坚固”与新闻末提到的内容(当地没有坚固的桥梁和可靠的通信系统)相反。A.More than 200 houses were destroyed.B.More than 200 people were killed. C.Pakistan was the only affected place.D.No survivor was found in some affected villages.解析：解析：新闻中提到地震造成的一系列后果，其中包括“
19、超过 200人被确认死亡”(more than 200 peoplewere confirmed dead)，B 与此完全一致。故正确。被毁房屋的数量应为超过 4000个，A 数字错误。C 错在 only，巴基斯坦并不是唯一受灾的地方，阿富汗(Afghanistan)和塔吉克斯坦(Tajikistan)也受到影响。D 中的 some affected villages在新闻末尾有出现，但只是说救援人员很难进入，而不是说“不能在这些村庄找到生还者”，D 错误。A.They change traditional migration paths.B.They generally live in da
20、ngerous areas.C.They are losing their habitats. D.Their habitats are not protected.解析：解析：新闻开头提到，因为鸟类的栖息地正在消失(because their habitats，or homelands，are disappearing)。C 中的 losing与 disappearing同义，故正确。A“它们改变了传统的迁徙路线”，新闻只是说在它们的迁徙路线中有许多危险的区域，并没有说鸟类改变迁徙路线。B“它们主要住在危险的地区”中的 dangerous areas在新闻中是说鸟类迁徙会经过许多危险区域，不
21、是说它们住在危险区域。D“它们的栖息地未受到保护”，新闻中鸟类危险的直接原因是栖息地的消失，“未受到保护”是后文的阐述，并不是直接原因。A.The biggest danger for them is development. B.Few of their paths are dangerous.C.They never stop as they move.D.They have no place to feed as they move.解析：解析：新闻提到对于迁徙的鸟而言，最主要的危险是发展(The major danger for migratory birds is developme
22、nt)，A 与新闻表述一致，其中的 biggest与 major同义。B“它们迁徙的路途少有危险之处”与新闻内容相反，新闻中说大部分路途都有危险(91 percent of them passed through dangerous areas)。C“它们迁徙过程中从不停歇”和 D“它们在迁徙时没有地方供它们觅食”都与新闻不一致。新闻中有几处地方都提到鸟儿会在迁徙的过程中停下来觅食(birds stop and feed as they move from one part of the world to another)，故 C、D 错误。A.Urban expansion.B.Land e
23、xpansion. C.Agricultural expansion.D.Industrial expansion.解析：解析：新闻末尾部分提到，关键栖息地被用于土地复垦(many of these critical sites have been lost to land reuse)。B 中的 land expansion与新闻中 land reuse同义，故 B正确。A“城市扩展”、C“农业扩展”和 D“工业扩展”三项都不是栖息地消失的直接原因，而是间接原因。这三个内容在新闻中是并列出现的，不可能同时为答案。3.Section B_解析：A.A detective story.B.A c
24、lass assignment. C.A birthday present.D.A jewelry store robbery.解析：解析：对话开始，男士说他完成了创造性写作课要求的短篇小说作业，很开心；而女士则说，她的还没写完。整篇对话都围绕他们的作业展开，故 B对。A.The professor did not like her story.B.She had trouble finishing her assignment. C.She did not like the topic she had chosen.D.She was taking too many courses.解析：解
25、析：女士说到她写了故事的开头就卡住了，男士问怎么回事，她再次重复说到“写了几页，思维卡住，再也写不出东西”，故 B正确。freeze up 表示“冻住，变呆板，(思路)停滞”，B 中的 have trouble finishing与之同义。A.Take some extra time.B.Put down whatever ideas she has first. C.Do some work for another course.D.Write the story ending first.解析：解析：女士提到 Wilson教授说首先要做的是写下她所想到的任何东西，以做一些准备练习。故 B正
26、确。A.To go shopping.B.To do research for her story. C.To meet her professor.D.To take a break from her work.解析：解析：对话最后女士说“我是为我的短篇小说去那里的”，故 B正确。A 为强干扰项，是男士对女士去珠宝店的目的的猜测。A.He does not have his library card with him.B.He does not want to return the book right now. C.He does not like the system of puttin
27、g books on hold.D.He does not want to pay the fine.解析：解析：男士还书时问是否可以续借；后来又说，他希望再借几天，因为学习上需要。故他并不想马上还书，B 正确。A.Only if he pays three times of the original fine.B.Only if he shares the book with others.C.Only if other students waiting for the book finish using it. D.Only if he replaces his library card.
28、解析：解析：女士明确地说：“只有其他预借这本书的人都借过后你才可以再借出这本书。”故 C正确。A.Other students criticize the mans behavior.B.It is decided by the teacher to be the text book.C.A few students also want to borrow the book. D.It is strongly requested by the chief librarian.解析：解析：女士说有几个人也想借这本书，所以现在它得暂时给下一个人留着，可见 C正确。A.He will pay the

30、mportance of good manners. D.The difference between elegance and good manners.解析：解析：主旨题。关键是要听到首尾句及核心词。第 1句中作者对于“人与人之间曾经更友好、更和气的时代”的怀念和最后一句中“礼貌能提升你的形象”，都说明 good manners的重要性，所以答案为C。作者建议养成说“谢谢”的习惯，而不是在讲述说“谢谢”的艺术，故 A不正确；作者说“我把讲礼貌看成一种深藏不露的美丽秘诀”，并不是告诉我们保持美丽的秘密，故 B 不正确；文中说“优雅与礼貌是一致的”，故 D不正确。A.They were nic
