14、stening Comprehens(总题数:12,分数:50.00)1.Part II Listening Comprehension_解析:2.Section A_解析:A.FBI agents.B.TSA agents. C.The police.D.Passengers.解析:解析:根据录音,运输安全管理特工(TSA agent)发现(spot)可疑物,B 正确。录音两次提到FBI(联邦调查局),一次是 FBI 发言人说在机场安检处 X 光扫描时发现 Atwater 的随身包中有可疑物,另一次提及 FBI 和 TSA 都没能确认爆炸物。录音只提到“可疑物现在警方手中”,也没有提到 pa
15、ssenger 等字眼,由此排除 A、C、D。A.At present, the airport was in great danger.B.The airport was still open temporarily afterwards.C.There was a thorough search outside the airport.D.Passengers at the airport were safe and sound. 解析:解析:D“机场乘客安然无恙”对应录音中的 at no time was there any danger,故选 D。新闻中提到,可疑物现在警方手中(in
16、the possession of the police),所以机场现在并不是处于危险状态,A 错误。新闻还提到机场临时关闭(temporarily closed)候机楼,对机场内部进行全面彻底的搜查(conducted a sweep),故 B“候机楼稍后仍保持开放状态”和 C“对机场外部进行了彻底搜查”与新闻内容相反。A.To reduce the number of pilots on duty.B.To prevent pilots from working overtime.C.To ensure an adequate sleep for pilots. D.To fix the
17、amount of work for each pilot.解析:解析:录音一开始指出颁布新规定的目的:应对飞行员疲劳(to combat pilot fatigue)。接着说到新规定的具体内容“要求减少飞行员勤务时间,在轮班间有 10 小时的休息时间,这样他们可以得到至少 8 小时的完整睡眠”,故选 C“确保飞行员有充足的睡眠时间”。飞行员人数、超时工作(working overtime)、飞行员工作量(the amount of work)均没有在新闻中提到,故排除。A.They had failed to cover all the pilots. B.They had only cov
18、ered cargo plane pilots.C.They would be put into effect in two years.D.They would be too costly if implemented.解析:解析:录音最后提到,独立飞行员协会(IPA)要求政府对所有飞行员设定统一的安全标准,可见协会不满的原 因是 A“新规定不能覆盖到所有的飞行员”。B 错在 cargo,新规定只用于客机飞行员。C“计划两年后实施”是提 到的事实,但不是协会不满的原因。录音提到如果把货机飞行员也包括进来,实施规定的花费就会太大,但这不是协会不满的原因,排除 D。A.It started to
19、 represent the interests of writers.B.It founded a new agency to support writers.C.It had meeting with publishers for better contract terms.D.It asked for a review on appeals court ruling. 解析:解析:新闻开头提到,美国作家协会(The Authors Guild)成功开始了新的一年。接着具体指出作家协会首先要求最高法院复审去年十月的上诉裁决,裁决判定谷歌有权不经作家许可就可以将已绝版的书刊制成电子版,D 与
20、新闻内容相符。A 中 represents the interests of writers 在新闻中出现过原词,是对该协会的介绍说明,并不是新年做的。B“建立一个新的机构来支持作家”没有在新闻提及。C 错在had meetings,新闻说的是“发表信件给出版商”(released a letter)要求更好的合同条款,而不是与“出版商”开会。A.Because there are more and more writers.B.Because its hard to make a living for writers. C.Because it wants to find new jobs
21、for writers.D.Because writers got 13% less income since 2009.解析:解析:新闻开头介绍了作家协会采取的两个行动,然后指明这么做是因为作家们发现通过写作谋生已经变得越来越难了(harder and harder to make a living),B 与新闻原意相同,故为答案。A“有越来越多的作家”与事实相反,新闻说的是有不少作家想转行。虽作家协会的初哀是提高作家的收入,而不是让作家换工作,故 C“想帮作家找新工作”错误。D 只是谋生艰难的例子,不具概括性,且新闻中提到自 2009 年作家收入降低了 30,而选项数据为 13,故排除。A
22、.Copyright protection. B.E-book income.C.Role of writers association.D.Writers social status.解析:解析:新闻末尾部分提到,谷歌图书一案引发人们对版权保护的关注(raised the issue of copyright protection),因此答案选 A。3.Section B_解析:A.They are from the same town.B.They both work on the school magazine.C.They are in the same class. D.They a
23、re both teaching assistants.解析:解析:四个选项都是关于 They 的,从 same,both 来看,似乎在问他们“一同”、“都”怎么样。推断题。根据男士一开始自我介绍时所说的“Its Bill Parker from your calculus class”可知答案为 C。对话开头常设考点。A.Because she has to take an exam.B.Because she has swimming practice. C.Because she has a biology lesson.D.Because she is reading a magazi
24、ne.解析:解析:男士问女士现在是否有空,女士说几分钟后得进行游泳练习,可见选 B。女士游泳过后得为生物考试复习,并非立马要考试,故排除 A;对话没有提到女士要上生物课,C 不对;男士说到要开会时提到校园杂志,不是女士在看杂志,D 也不对。A.The woman would like to work on it.B.The woman has never heard of it. C.The man dislikes reading it.D.The man first read it last month.解析:解析:推断题。当男生提到杂志 The Signal 时,女士反问了一句“The
25、what?”这表明女士对杂志不熟,所以她才道歉,并且解释说自己今年刚转学来这里,由此可推出答案为 B。A、D 未提及,C 与对话内容相反。反问处必有玄机。A.Try to contact the teaching assistant again.B.Go to have a swim.C.Study for a biology exam.D.Go to a meeting. 解析:解析:四个动词原形预示着将提问“干什么”或“为什么”。细节题,Bill 晚饭后将干什么?Sue建议两人晚饭后见面,Bill 回答说“Uh,thats bad for meI have a meeting for Th
26、e Signal”据此,选 D。“Uh”语气词出现,后面的内容十分重要。B、C 是女士打算做的事情,均不正确。在长对话的测试里,细节题是大量存在的,而且不好对付,因为既要考你听懂了没有,还要考你的记忆力,所以要适当做笔记。A.Hurricanes. B.TV up-date.C.Names of hurricanes.D.Wind velocity.解析:解析:对话开头女士就说到,“这是一张飓风路线图”,之后两人就一直讨论飓风问题,故 A 正确。对话提到过几个飓风的名字,也说到风速是区别热带低压(tropic depressions)、暴风(storm)与飓风(hurricane)的指标,最后
27、还提到电视上会有对飓风的最新报道,B、C、D 均是一些细节,但它们都不是对话的主题,都不对。正 确答案特征:在对话开头就会提及,往往在对话中多次提到。A.A storm and a hurricane differ in the time they land.B.A storm and a hurricane differ in the speed wind travels. C.A hurricane is the least serious.D.A storm is less serious than a depression.解析:解析:对话中女士提到了低气压、暴风和飓风,男士就问“它们
28、有什么区别”,女士说,其区别在风速。故 B 正确。A 中的 the time they land 应改为 wind velocity 或 the speed wind travels;C 中的 least 应改为 most,D 中的 less 应改为 more。A.Those people discovered the hurricanes first.B.Its easy to tell hurricanes apart. C.Those people are pop stars.D.Those people are the weather forecasters.解析:解析:男士在问到地图
29、上的人名时,女士解释说:“天气预报工作者给飓风取上人的名字,以便使它们容易区别开来。”B 项中的 tell apart 即对话中的 identify 之义,故 B 正确,含有因果、目的等关系的语义突出之处常设考点。A.Examine the map again.B.Turn on the radio.C.See the hurricane outdoors.D.Watch TV weather report. 解析:解析:对话结尾处女士说,“你该打开电视,它报道最清楚。5 分钟后就会有最新报道了。”因此对话中的两人是准备看电视上的天气预报,选 D。四个选项的动词及其宾语构成的搭配,一般由动词确
30、定答案(原词再现或同义替换)。本题原文是 turn on the television,应选 D 而不是 B。这里应根据名词TV 选出答案。4.Section C_解析:A.To know their business partner better. B.To enjoy the dishes only.C.To have a relaxation.D.To escape from the company.解析:解析:选项以 To 开头表目的。本题是细节题,符合短文听力“听到什么选什么”的解题原则。由此不难选出答案 A。A.It must be something unusual.B.Its
31、a business appointment. C.Its a hot debate on their life.D.Its a private talk.解析:解析:本题考查对细节的记忆。B 项为原文的同义概括,故为答案。解答本题也可依据常识推测出正确选项 B。A.Because they would admire her for having so many clients.B.Because she doesnt want to dine far from the office.C.Because she doesnt care what people think of her.D.Be
32、cause they would believe she is doing business. 解析:解析:浏览选项可知,本题询问某事的原因。录音最后一句就是答案的所在,故选 D。短文结尾处常设考点。A.One hundred miles.B.Three hundred miles.C.One hundred and fifty miles. D.Six hundred miles.解析:解析:数字计算题。根据录音首句“从北部到南部,以及从东部到西部,只有大约 300 英里的距离”,那么从 centre 到 coast 就是其中一半的距离,即 150 英里,故选 C。A.Cold and we
33、t.B.Fairly pleasantC.Surprisingly hot.D.Of great variety. 解析:解析:细节题。of great variety 是 a wide range 的同义表达,故 D 正确。A.Flowers and vegetables from Devon are on the market one month earlier. B.Farmers in the southwest grow as many vegetables and flowers as farmers elsewhere.C.People in the southwest have
34、 to pay higher price for vegetables and flowers.D.Vegetables in Cornwall ripen as much as a month earlier than flowers.解析:解析:本题考查对细节的记忆与理解。长句子要在听到主语后将谓语、宾语或表语与原文进行对比,能够匹配的往往是答案。本题选 A。其他选项多是利用原文中出现过的词进行干扰。A.Because they have a driving license.B.Because they have received special training. C.Because t
35、he traffic conditions in London are good.D.Because the traffic system of the city is not very complex.解析:解析:题目询问为什么伦敦的出租车司机效率非常高。关键是要听到“伦敦的出租车司机效率非常高是因为在获得专门的出租车驾驶执照之前,他们都经历过一段十分艰苦的训练时期。”也就是说接受过特殊训练,即 B。因为有驾照所以工作效率就高,A 本身就不符合常理,故不正确;选项 C、D 的内容文中均未提及。A.Two to four months.B.About three weeks.C.At leas
36、t half a year.D.Two years or more. 解析:解析:题目询问训练期有多长。关键是要听到“这段训练时期,时间从两年到四年不等,”故答案为 D。符合“同义替换”的原则。选项 A 具有一定的干扰性,若未注意到 months 这个时间单位的错误,则可能误选 A。A.Government officers are hard to please.B.The learner has to go through several tough tests. C.The learner usually fails several times before he passes it.D.
37、The driving test usually lasts two months.解析:解析:题目询问为什么作者认为驾驶考试是一场可怕的经历。关键是要听到“驾驶考试是一场可怕的经历”之前的那句话:实习出租车司机在训练期内要参加好几次由政府官员主持的考试。选项 B 与其同义,故正确。选项 A、C、D 的内容文中均未提及。A.They dont want their present bosses to know what theyre doing.B.They want to earn money from both jobs.C.They cannot earn money as taxi drivers yet. D.They look forward to further promotion.解析:解析:题目询问为什么实习出租车司机必须保有他们目前的工作。关键是要听到“不允许实习出租车司机以司机身份工作赚钱。”即 C。A、D 两项文中未提及;文中说实习出租车司机不能以司机身份赚钱,所以他们不可能从两份工作中同时赚钱,故 B 错误。
