28、cquired a Ph. D from Columbia University in 1929.She married Dr. Reo Fortune in 1928. Together they wrote Growing Up In New Guinea, published in 1930.

31、1930）解析：数字题是听力考试中的重点兼难点，考生需要准确写出数字，尤其是分辨-teen 和-ty 两个常考音节。很多人会写成 1913，除了粗心错误外，还有不善利用已给信息的弱点，因为前面的已明确告诉“她1928 年结婚”这一信息，然后又说到她和丈夫共同撰写的书 1930 年出版。两个年份注意都不能写出year，因为只能写一个词。填空项 1:_ （正确答案：23）解析：填空项 1:_ （正确答案：religions）解析：此题失分的可能性比较大，注意 religions 是复数，因为此词前没有 a 或 the，而且前面有介词on，所以不是形容词。填空项 1:_ （正确答案：1954）解析：
32、四、Part B(总题数：1，分数：5.00)(1).Besides reporters, who else were camped out for days outside the speakers home?（分数：1.00）填空项 1:_ （正确答案：cameramen/camera men。）解析：听力原文6-10W: When I was getting divorced in 1975, reporters and cameramen were camped out for days in the lobby and on the sidewalk outside.

33、me from all over the country. Foreign reporters too. It was terrible. My neighbors could barely get in and out of the building. One reporter, who had been a friend of mine, got up to my apartment after persuading the doorman into believing that he was there on a personal visit. I wouldnt let him in.
34、 He just wanted to talk, he said. I was certain that he had a camera and wanted a picture of me looking depressed. I just couldnt believe this attempt to invade my privacy. TV is the worst. TV reporters present themselves as having the perfect right to be anywhere, to ask any question. It doesnt mat
35、ter how personal the matter may be.People dont trust the press the way they used to. In most cases, stories are sensationalized in order to attract more public attention. Some papers print things that simply are not true. In many papers, if a correction has to be made, its usually buried among adver
36、tisements. Ive received hundreds of letters from people asking me how do you know whats true in the press these days. I find it difficult to respond sometimes. I tell them that there are good newspapers and serious, responsible and honest reporters. Dont judge all of us by the standards of the bad o
37、nes. Unless the guys at the topthe editors and the news directors take firm action, pretty soon no one is going to believe anything they read in the papers or see on television news.文章开头谈到当她离婚时，众多的新闻记者和_在她门口等了数天，可以推测与记者有关，后面再提到 cameramen 就容易接受。(2).One reporter got to the speakers apartment pretendin
38、g to pay（分数：1.00）填空项 1:_ （正确答案：a personal visit）解析：他们滋扰她多日，使邻居进出都困难，而个也是记者身份的朋友试图与她交谈，只是以朋友的身份，所以答案必须是 a personal visit。如果少了 personal 答案就没有意义了。(3).The speaker believed the reporter wanted a picture of her looking（分数：1.00）填空项 1:_ （正确答案：depressed）解析：记者想给她拍照，无非是想拍到她沮丧的表情，因此她固守着不让人进来。此题完全可以通过阅读题目猜出，一个女人
39、离婚了，闭门不出，不是伤心就是沮丧。注意不能写成 depressing。(4).Where is a correction to a false story usually placed?（分数：1.00）填空项 1:_ （正确答案：among advertisements）解析：此题从上下文中可以得到线索，报纸老登一些错误的东西，当它们不得不订正时，他们会把勘误放在广告当中，所以 advertisement 肯定要用复数形式。(5).According to the speaker, the press will lose readers unless the editors and the
40、 news directors（分数：1.00）填空项 1:_ （正确答案：take firm action）解析：此题的线索是 Unless the guys at the topthe editors and the news directorstake firm action，pretty soon no one is going to believe anything they read in the papers or see on television news题目中出现了 the editors and the news directors，只要考生在听时注意这些词后面是什么就行
41、了。五、Part C(总题数：0，分数：0.00)六、Questions 1113 are (总题数：1，分数：3.00)A.How much exercise they get every day.B.What they are most worried about.C.How long their parents accompany them daily.D.What entertainment they are interested in. 解析：听力原文11-13M: Next time you bring your kids in for a checkup, dont be sur

43、ew R-rated videos without the company of their parents, what music they like and what books they read. Doctors are worried that kids who spend too much time in front of the tube dont get enough exercise and can become overweight. The academy is also concerned that the messages kids get from entertai
44、nment media can make them more violent and sexually active.The academy recommends that children under age two not watch any TV. “Children need activities to stimulate the brain during the first two years of life,“ says Dr. Miriam Baron, who chairs the academys committee on public education. “They ne
45、ed feedback and socialization.“ Older children, she says, should watch TV in a common area. Their bedrooms should be “electronic media-free“ zones where they can have a quiet place to read, study, play or just relax.此篇短文谈论电视对孩子成长的负面影响。这类文章在听力考试中已经出现多次了，所以比较利于考生抓住主题思想。通过阅读三道题目及其选项，可以判断主要内容与 entertain
46、ment 和 kid 有关。这一题的线索在第一句。A.get enough entertainmentB.have more activities C.receive early educationD.have regular checkups解析：专家认为两岁以下的孩子不能看任何电视，他们应该有更多的活动来锻炼脑子。因此答案是 B。A.be no place for playB.be near a common areaC.have no TV sets D.have a computer for study解析：这一题是常识题，可以根据排除法来判断正确答案。当然，只要理解文章的主要意思，就能明确判断孩子的房间要远离电视。七、Questions 1416 are (总题数：1，分数：3.00)A.Family debtsB.Bank savingsC.Monthly billsD.Spending habits 解析：听力原文14-16W: If youre in your 20s, you own your first
