40、3 年 12 月答案解析(总分：100.00，做题时间：90 分钟)一、BPart /B(总题数：2，分数：20.00)(1).The movie actor Arnold Schwargenegger, who is running for governor of California, be longs to the conservative Democratic Party.（分数：2.00）A.正确B.错误 解析：听力原文 In a series of radio broadcasts, Arnold Schwargenegger, the actor-turned-candidate
41、-for-governor, staked out some middle ground on social issues, taking positions that might alien ate his conservative fellow Republicans but match the views of a majority of Californians. 分析 隐含事实的找寻和推断。 原文在谈及 Arnold Schwargenegger 所采取的立场时说“alienate his conservative fellow Republilcans”即“疏远了他那些保守的共和党
42、派同伴”，由此可推断 Arnold Schwargenegger 应该是共和党而不是民主党。因此，题干的说法是错误的。 解题关键 1) 理解关键词含义，如原文中 alienate 的意思，2) 对重要信息作出正确推断，比如能推断出原文中 fellow(同伴)，表明 Arnold Schwargenegger 的党派关系。(2).School failure and social isolation can lead to early onset of depression in children and teens, and the trend is becoming increasingly
43、 common.（分数：2.00）A.正确B.错误 解析：听力原文 Early onset of depression in children and teens is increasingly common. Depressed adolescents are at high risk for school failure, social isolation, promiscuity, “self-medication“, and even suicidethe third leading cause of death among 15-to 24-year-olds. 分析 因果关系的判断
44、。 原文讨论青少年消沉沮丧的问题时说“Depressed adolescents are at high risk for school failure, social isolation.”即“消沉沮丧的午轻人会面临巨大的危险，如学业失败，与社会隔绝等”，由此可判断，消沉沮丧是因，而学业失败，与社会隔绝等是果。题干因果关系倒置，因此是错误的。 解题关键 在没有明显信号词提示的情况下，迅速对上下文语义逻辑关系作出判断，如对上面句子中信息的逻辑关系作出判断。(3).According to the statement, Cheliean sea bass, a species of fish a
45、vailable along the coasts of the South Pole, might have already become extinct due to illegal hunting.（分数：2.00）A.正确B.错误 解析：听力原文 Cheliean sea bass is a snow-white, flaky delicacy in restaurants in the United States, Japan and Europe. Environmentalists have warned that over-fishing and poaching could
46、cause it to vanish from the coasts of Antarctica. 分析 语法理解。 通过原文“over-fishing”可判断 Cheliean sea bass 可能是鱼类，且原文提出对该物种的过度和非法捕捞“could cause it to vanish”与题干“might have already become extinct”意思不能吻合，前者表示对未来预测的一种可能性，而后者则表示对已发生情况的判断。因此，题干的说法是错误的。 解题关键 正确理解语法概念。(4).It can be inferred from the statement that
47、the Swedish social welfare system, which pro vides life-long care of its citizens, is no longer feasible and satisfactory.（分数：2.00）A.正确 B.错误解析：听力原文 In western Sweden, a five-year-old girl was abducted and stabbed to death last week by an inmate from a psychiatric institute who was able to come and g
48、o at will in part because the cost of looking after such patients in this cradle-to-grave welfare state is becoming too high. 分析 语义推理判断。 本题要求从上下文语境中进行推断。原文谈到在这个从生到死都享受福利的国家，看护费用过高是导致精神病人能随意进出医院的部分原因，而这种病人随意出入医院又造成了 5 岁儿童的惨死。由此可推断，该国的福利制度已经不能令人满意，不再有效了。因此，题干的说法是正确的。 解题关键 能够凭借信号词对语义关系作出正确判断，如可根据原文中 be
49、 cause 对语义关系作出因果关系的判断。(5).Out of the 325 million laborers in the Middle East and North Africa, 63 percent are women and 32 percent university students.（分数：2.00）A.正确B.错误 解析：听力原文 While women make up half the 325 million people in the Middle East and North Africa, and in some countries as many as 63 percent of university students, they comprise only 32 percent of the labor force, accordin
