30、u like to go out for a walk with us?W: Id love to, but Im afraid Ive got a bad headache. 解析 男士邀请女士出去散步,女土说:“我很愿意,但是我恐怕有些头疼。”这实际上是婉言谢绝了对方的邀请。因此答案选 B。除了 Id love to,but之外,口语中这一类的表达方法还有:Id like to,but; Thats a good idea,but;Sounds great,but。A.In a restaurant.B.In a hairdressers.C.In a car. D.In a swimmi
31、ng pool.解析:听力原文W: Its about one oclock and Im starving. There still seems a long way to go.M: Why dont we stop at the next restaurant and get something to eat? 解析 女士说她饿了,而目的地还很远。男土表示路过下一家餐馆的时候就停下来吃饭,因此我们可以判定他们很可能在汽车上。A 选项是个很强的干扰项。A.Leave the door open.B.Bring her a glass of cold water.C.Shut the doo
32、r. D.Tell her how he is feeling now.解析:听力原文M: Do you mind if I leave the door open?W: As a matter of fact, Im feeling a bit cold.解析 男士问女士可否把门开着,leave the door open“让门开着”,女士说她觉得有点冷。因此她希望男士把门关上。该题的关键点在于听清女士所说的话:Im feeling a bit cold。A.No, because she is not good at singing. B.No, because she does not
33、like singing.C.Yes, but she wants other people to sing first.D.Yes, she is more than willing to.解析:听力原文M: Could you sing us an English song? W: Im the last person to sing.解析 女士的回答中有隐含的否定。男士提议让女士唱首英文歌曲,女士回答 Im the last person to sing并不是说“要最后个唱”,而是说“我最不擅长的就是唱歌”。再例如:He is the last man I want to marly 的
34、意思不是“他是我最后一个想嫁得人”,而是“我绝对不会嫁给他”。A.Relieved. B.Worried.C.Concerned.D.Indifferent.解析:听力原文W: Ive seen the X-rays and your teeth look just fine.M: I see. Then theres nothing to worry about after all.解析 女上说看过男士的 X 光片了,他的牙齿没什么问题。男士说这就没什么可担心的了。因此男士现在是放心了,松了一口气。A 选项 relieved“放心的”;B 选项 worried“担心的”;C 选项concer
35、ned“关切的”;D 选项 indifferent“漠不关心的”。What time is it now?(分数:5.00)A.8:00.B.7:30.C.9:30. D.9:00.解析:听力原文W: Sorry, Im late. Have you been waiting long?M: Of course, I have. We arranged to meet at nine and its almost half past now.解析 男士说:“我们安排九点见,而现在已经过了半点了。”因此现在是几点半。关键是要听清现在的时间(nine),以及过半点了(half past)。A.To
36、 a grocery. B.To a gas station.C.To a garage.D.To a railway station.解析:听力原文M: Im leaving now. Do you need anything?W: Pick up a bar of soap and some ice cream for dessert, please.解析 女士让男土捎一块肥皂和一些冰激凌来,因此我们判定男士很可能去杂货店。B 选项 gas station“加油站”;C 选项 garage“车库”;D 选项 railway station“火车站”。A.An “A“ and a “C“.B
37、.A “C“.C.An “A“ and a “B“.D.An “A“. 解析:听力原文W: I got an “A“ on the test.M: So did I, but Joe got a “C“.解析 女士一开始就说她考试得了 A,男士说他也得了 A,但 Joe 得了 C。A.The ideas of the paper are not convincing.B.Some parts of the paper are not well written. C.There are too many typing errors.D.The paper is not complete yet.
38、解析:听力原文W: What do you think of my paper?M: The ideas are good. If I were you, though, Id rewrite the last two paragraphs to make it even better.解析 男士说论文的思想很好,但是后两段应当重写。If I were you, Id rewrite the last two paragraphs to make it even better,是虚拟语气,表示委婉的建议,“如果我是你,我就重写后两段”。因此选 B,即有些部分写得不好。A.The woman f
39、ollowed the mans advice.B.The woman is wearing long hair now.C.The man didnt want the woman to have her hair cut. D.The man showed indifference to the womans hair.解析:听力原文W: I wish my hair were longer.M: Yes, what a pity you had it cut. If only youd listened to me. 解析 女士感叹说: “要是头发长一些就好了”,男士说 what a p
40、ity you had it cutIf only youd listened to me“可惜的是你把头发剪短了,要是当初听我的就好了”。其中 If only youd listened to me是对过去发生的事情的一个虚拟,表示“要是该多好啊”。由此我们判断当初男士肯定建议女士不要把头发剪短。虚拟语气中是听力中经常考查的内容之一。三、Part B(总题数:0,分数:0.00)四、Questions 11 13 ar(总题数:1,分数:3.00)A.Relatives.B.Friends.C.Colleagues.D.Strangers. 解析:听力原文11-13M. 683203.

44、ut the flat“我想问一下公寓的情况”,后来男士说 You saw my ad in the newspaper,did you?“你一定看了我在报纸上登的广告了吧?”,既然因为看了广告才联系的,两人一定是陌生人。A.One.B.Two.

45、come round and see it this afternoon ? At about three?“我下午去看房行吗?大约三点钟好吗?”,男士立即表示没问题,Yes, doThree would be fine for me因此我们判定他们约定下午三点左右看房。五、Questions 14 17 ar(总题数:1,分数:4.00)A.Yes, she thinks there will be no problem at all.B.Yes, although there are some problems.C.No, she has been avoiding giving a de
