23、(1).The company began by offering computer software solutions to local businesses in the greater Seattle metropolitan area.（分数：2.00）A.正确B.错误 解析：听力原文 Globalcall Communications has grown from a telecommunications solutions provider for local businesses in the greater Seattle metropolitan area to a tru
24、ly global corporation providing telecommunications solutions for clients both large and small. Established to fill a significant market gap for simple communication solutions, the company first expanded to most major North American cities before becoming a major multinational player. 分析 语义的理解和判断。 根据
25、原文“Globalcall Communications has grown from a telecommunications solutions provider for local businesses in the greater Seattle metropolitan area to a truly global corporation.”可判断该句中的 has grown from. to.句型实际上点明了该公司由起家到发迹的历史，该公司一开始是为西雅图大商圈中的企业服务，而后成长为国际性公司。因此，该题的说法是正确的。 解题关键 同义词替换。原文中 has grown from
26、 与题干中 began 意思相同，使听者可由此抓住听的重心。(2).The airport is able to handle 25 million passengers and 1.2 million tons of cargo a year.（分数：2.00）A.正确 B.错误解析：听力原文 The 350,000-square meter, granite-floored and glass-walled terminal can accommodate 25 million passengers a year and the airport, which has two runways
27、, can handle 1.2 million tons of air freight, the world“s third-highest cargo capacity. 分析 数字信息的找寻。 根据题干中的数字信息，与原文相关处作对照，发现细节均相符，因此该题的说法是正确的。 解题关键 1)根据题干特点抓住原文数字信息重点听；2)同义词替换，在相关信息处，原文中数字修饰的中心词“freight”与题干中使用的“cargo”意思相当，均指“货物”。(3).According to the U.S. scientists, the bacteria giving the soft orang
28、e glow prevents the seawater from nourishing the coral.（分数：2.00）A.正确B.错误 解析：听力原文 U.S. scientists discovered that the soft orange glow of a common Caribbean coral comes not from the corm itself but from bacteria that live inside it. And the bacteria not only give the coral a little nightlight, but th
29、ey also break down seawater to help nourish the coral. 分析 事实细节的找寻和判断。 根据题干，需要与原文核对的细节有两处：1)某种细菌是否发出橘黄色的光，2)该细菌是否阻止海水向珊瑚提供养分。根据原文“the soft orange glow. but from bacteria that live inside it”可知，题干中第一处细节与原文相符；根据原文“the bacteria. break down seawater to help nourish the coral”即“该细菌还可分解海水，使其更有助于为珊瑚提供养分”，由此
30、可见，第二处细节与原文说法不符，因此该题的说法是错误的。 解题关键 掌握反义词的识别，有助于迅速解题。原文中的 help 与题干中的 prevent.from 是反义词。(4).Instead of sending patients a letter as a reminder, now most UK hospitals use short messages to remind the patients of appointments.（分数：2.00）A.正确B.错误 解析：听力原文 Now, text messaging is increasingly being used by UK
31、hospitals to remind patients about outpatient appointments and could potentially save the Nati6nal Health Service millions of pounds every year. Ealing Hospital in West London sends 20 texts per day, reminding the patients in advance of the date and time of their appointment. Before using the text m
32、essaging system, the hospital relied solely on sending patients a letter as a reminder. 分析 事实细节的找寻和判断。 将题干中关键词与原文对照，发现没有 short messages 或其相近的表达。原文出现的核心词是 text messaging。由此可见，题干的说法是错误的。 解题关键 排除干扰信息的影响。题干中 message 与原文中频频出现的 messaging，在形式上非常相近，听者会因其相近而忽略其附加内容，造成判断的失误。(5).Elite athletes are likely to ge
33、t more respiratory infections than ordinary people.（分数：2.00）A.正确 B.错误解析：听力原文 There“s no doubt that athletes are playing hard enough to suppress immune defenses. The normal population in Australia expects to get between three and four upper respiratory infections each year. But if you look at groups
34、of elite athletes, about 15 percent of those athletes can have six or seven or more, even up to 11 or 12. They seem to get more vulnerable as they train harder. 分析 比较结构的表达和判断。 原文中关于得呼吸道感染的比较表达有两处：1)The normal population. get between three and four. 而运动员，尤其是优秀运动员却“have six or seven or more, even up t
35、o 11 or 12”，由此可见，优秀运动员的得病几率更高；2)They seem to get more vulnerable as they train harder即“这些运动员们训练得越刻苦，身体越脆弱”。从这两处都可推测出题干的说法是错误的。 解题关键 1)熟悉比较结构的表达法。表示比较的手段很多，可以通过固定结构，也可通过统计数字作对比；2)掌握信号词，判断上下文逻辑关系，有助于迅速解题，如原文在说明普通人群得呼吸道感染的几率后使用了单词 but，表明后面的对象的事实肯定与前面不一样，从该词的使用，也可猜测出优秀运动员得病的几率更高。二、Part (总题数：1，分数：10.00)（
36、分数：10.00）(1).Which of the following is true about the immunity to HIV?（分数：2.00）A.It is partly resistance to the mutation.B.More Europeans have it than the people on other continents.C.It is the result of outbreaks of the plague.D.It is a mutation that protects white blood cells. 解析：听力原文 About 10 per
37、cent of Europe“s present-day population seems to be resistant to HIV - a significantly higher proportion than on other continents. Researchers have traced this immunity to a genetic mutation that seems to have appeared some 2,500 years ago, and that protects white blood cells against penetration by
38、HIV. From the mid-14th century through the 17th century the prevalence of the mutation increased, in tandem with repeated outbreaks of the plague. The researchers suggest that the mutation protected against the disease, which culled the population of people who lacked it. 分析 逻辑关系的找寻和判断。 原文一开始便指出当今欧洲
39、有大约 10的人口对 HIV 有免疫力。然后指出 Researchers have traced this immunity to a genetic mutation that seems to have appeared some 2,500 years ago，and that protects white blood cells against penetration by HIV. 即经研究发现该免疫力来自一种基因突变，该突变在 2500 年前便已产生，这种基因突变可保护白血球免于 HIV 的穿透。由此可见，D 项与原文相符，是正确答案。 解题关键 掌握篇章结构形成的意义上的内在逻辑
40、，支持性细节往往具体说明或解释主题。(2).Which of the following is responsible for 10% of preventable cancer?（分数：2.00）A.Smoking & alcohol use.B.Alcohol use & smoking.C.Indoor smoke & low consumption of fruits and vegetables.D.Low consumption of fruits, vegetables and alcohol use. 解析：听力原文 US, Australian, and New Zealan
41、d scientists report in the journal Lancet that nine factors that people and societies can control cause nearly 2.5 million cancer cases each year. That is about one-third of the seven million annual global total. Leading the list of causes is smoking, which the researchers say is responsible for 20
42、percent of preventable cancers. Alcohol use and low consumption of fruits and vegetables cause another five percent each. Also significant are overweight and obesity, physical inactivity, urban air pollution, indoor smoke from household cooking, contaminated injections in health clinics, and unsafe
43、sex. 分析 数字信息的找寻和判断。 关于 preventable cancer，原文认为 Alcohol use and low consumption of fruits and vegetables cause another five percent each 即喝酒和水果蔬菜吃得少各占 5的原因，经过简单加法计算可判断D 项内容“水果蔬菜吃得少与喝酒”与原文相符，是正确答案。 解题关键 根据题干关键词正确找到相关信息，并进行简单的数字运算。(3).What do economists think of working hours in Asia?（分数：2.00）A.They do
44、n“t think that the working hours need reducing.B.They think that a flexible working schedule is also desirable. C.They think that working hours have declined satisfactorily.D.They believe the flexible working hours benefit workers only.解析：听力原文 A recent report finds that the number of working hours i
45、n Asia has started to decline. But the economists say that what is needed is not only a reduction in working time, but also more flexibility in working hours. Both businesses and workers would profit if working hours can be adjusted according to demand, allowing workers to better control their days.
46、 And, as many economies in the region see a growth in service industries, such as hotels and restaurants, which need flexible work schedules, more flexibility could help boost growth. 分析 观点态度和找寻和判断。 关于经济学家的观点，原文认为 But the economists say that what is needed is not only a reduction in working time，but
47、 also more flexibility in working hours. 根据上下文逻辑可知，not only 之后的内容承前，指一般性观点，而 but also 之后的内容启后，表述经济学家的重要观点。由此可判断，工作时间更有弹性，是该句的中心内容。因此 B 项内、容与原文意思相符，是正确答案。 解题关键 1)段首处 but 之后的内容往往是全段中心内容。2)段落中的中心词，包括其词形变化形式往往频繁出现，如段首中心句中的中心词 flexibility 及其形容词 flexible 在该段出现若干次。(4).Which of the following is true accordi
48、ng to the passage?（分数：2.00）A.The drive weighed a full ton. B.The IBM research center planned to make a music player.C.Its 24 spinning disks could store only S megabytes of information.D.The price for renting the RAMAC was 260,000 a year.解析：听力原文 On September 13,1956, IBM shipped the first unit of the
49、 RAMAC, in other words, Random Access Method of Accounting and Control. The RAMAC, designed in Big Blue“s San Jose, Calif., research center would have made a lousy music player. The drive weighed a full ton, and to lease it you“d pay about 250,000 a year in today“s dollars. Since it required a separate air compressor to protect the two moving “heads“ that read and wrote information, it was noisy. The total amount of information stored in its 50 spinning iron-oxide-coated disks- each of them a pizza-size 24 inches -
