15、ut old peoples unattractiveness.D.Its about peoples reluctance to look after the old.解析:解析:根据选项中的Its about,可以推断本题是问某事物的内容,听音时应重点关注相关信息。录音开头,男士提到,我听说您跟您的团队完成了一项关于老年人的报告。再结合后面女士(McKay教授)的解释“该报告主要是调查人们对老年人的各种观念”,B项与录音相符,故选B。A项“它是关于老年人的信仰的”是利用录音原词old people和beliefs制造的干扰,可排除。录音确实提到人们会认为老年人不太讨人喜欢(unattrac
16、tive),这是该报告想要纠正的观念,并非它调研的主题,C也排除。“人们不愿意照顾老年人”在录音中并未提到,也可排除。A.To look into the mental health of old people.B.To explain why people have negative views on old age.C.To help correct some false beliefs about old age.D.To identify the various problems of old age.解析:解析:选项均为不定式,推断本题可能问计划、打算或目的,听音时应注意相关内容。录
17、音开头提到,该报告主要是调查人们对老年人的各种观念并尝试证实这些观念的对错,接着女士解释说她们希望这会帮助人们改变对老年人的观念,C项与录音相符。D“确认老年人的各种问题”为强干扰项,录音中提到,该报告核查的主要是人们对老年人的观念(the various beliefs that people hold about old age),而非the various problems of old age,故D错误。A.People change in old age a lot more than at the age of 21.B.There are more sick people in
18、old age than in middle age.C.We should not expect more physical illness among old people.D.We should expect to find old people unattractive as a group.解析:解析:录音中男士提到,人们一般会认为老年人更多身体疾病。女士用问句反驳说:“为什么人们应该这样认为?”接着后面解释到“那些活到65或70岁的都是我们中的强壮者。虚弱的在儿童期或者到四、五十岁就死了”,由此可见,McKay教授认为人们不应该认为老年人有更多身体疾病,C正确。A.Family f
19、eeling is gradually disappearing.B.It is hard to comment on family feeling.C.More children are indifferent to their parents.D.Family feeling remains as strong as ever.解析:解析:由选项中的关键词family feeling,以及各选项内容,预测本题跟family feeling的变化情况有关。录音中女士(McKay教授)提到,她们没有证据表明家庭感情变弱或消亡(nothingeither dying or dead),因此可以说
20、家庭感情仍跟以前一样牢固,D符合录音,同时排除A、B、C。A.Negative.B.Positive.C.Ambiguous.D.Neutral.解析:解析:本题询问McKay教授对于父母不跟孩子一起居住的态度。对于这个话题,McKay教授提到,她认为这是一个极好的安排(an excellent arrangement),由此可知她的态度是积极的,故选B。A.Examples of different types children.B.How to run parenting workshops.C.The way to communicate with children.D.The way
21、to control children.解析:解析:题目问对话讨论的主题是什么。结合整个对话,可以知道对话的主题是如何跟孩子沟通,C项概括了对话的主题,故为答案。其他三项均是利用录音原词制造的干扰项,均不能概括对话内容,可排除。A.An author running parenting workshops.B.An engineer dealing with electric sockets.C.A psychologist who runs a parenting workshop.D.An author who likes to punish her children.解析:解析:题目问J
22、ulie Ross的身份,录音开头部分,男士介绍女士身份时,提到她是实用育儿这本书的作者,并说她经营一个育儿工作坊已经18年,A项与对话意思相符。A.On no occasion.B.On rare, important occasions.C.On every occasion.D.On not-so-important occasions.解析:解析:题目问在什么场合,父母应该跟孩子说“不”。录音中男士提到,只有在很少场合,并且对孩子说“不”很重要的时候,父母应这么做,据此可知,B为答案。A“没有场合”、C“每个场合”过于绝对,首先可以排除;D项的not-so-important与录音的w
23、hen its absolutely important相反,也可排除。A.I am the parent, and I am comfortable being in charge.B.Please dont annoy me, or I will punish you.C.I am the parent, and Ill let you decide.D.I would like you to play with something else.解析:解析:题目问I-message是指什么。录音中女士提到,I-message是指“我是父母,我处于掌控的地位,而且这种掌控地位让我觉得很舒服”,
24、A项概括了此处的意思,故为答案。A.They see it as encouragement.B.They see it as a challenge.C.They see it as a danger.D.They see it as a risk.解析:解析:题目问小孩子如何看if这个词。录音结尾部分,男士总结女士的话时说到,小孩子并不会把if看成是一种激励,而是视之为挑战,B项与录音相符,故选B,排除A。C项的a danger和D项的a risk在录音中未提及,也可排除。A.It has nothing to do with the mans presentation.B.It focu
25、ses on young men and mobile phones.C.It shows how important mobile phones are to the old.D.It shows 70% of teenagers use their phones once a day.解析:解析:录音中男士说女士发给他的那份调查很有用,女士询问是否是那份关于年轻人和手机的调查,男士给出了肯定回答,由此可见,女士发送的报告是关于“年轻人和手机”的,B项用focuses on同义替换了录音的about,故为答案。A项与男士说的really useful相矛盾,可排除;C项错在the old,应
26、是young men;D项错在70应是75。A.Making phone calls to their friends.B.Sending text messages.C.The graph they would design.D.Losing part of their identity.解析:解析:录音中男士提到,现在,发短信(texting)对于年轻人来说是一个更重要的事情,因此B为答案。A项的Making phone calls录音并未提及;女士提及的画图表是为了表明人们发短信的变化趋势,C与题目所问无关;录音提到,手机是年轻人身份认同的一部分,并非年轻人失去了部分身份认同,因此排除D
27、。A.He is not sure about it.B.He thinks its 7:30pm or 8:00pm.C.He thinks its between 10:30pm and 11:00pm.D.He thinks its between 7:30pm and 11:00pm.解析:解析:由选项的主语He可推断本题问某位男士的情况。录音中男士提到,发短信的高峰期的确是在晚上,但时间段明显是10:30到11:00,C项与录音相符。干扰项B的7:30pm或8:00pm是女士认为的高峰时间,故排除。A.On the belt.B.In the pocket.C.In the hand
28、bag.D.In the schoolbag.解析:解析:四个选项都是表示地点的介词短语,因此在听到地点时,应留意相关信息。题目问男士认为人们最少放手机的地方是哪里。录音中男士提到,人们最少放手机的地方是在皮带上,抓听到这个信息,很容易就选出A。A.Because she thinks voicemail is a better topic.B.Because she thinks video is out of date.C.Because she thinks there are not enough video users.D.Because many phones doesnt hav
29、e the function yet.解析:解析:根据选项中的Because可推断本题问原因。题目问为何女士不讲视频。录音中女士提到不讲视频的原因是许多手机还不具备视频功能,D项与录音相符。A.How students care about the information on the leaflet.B.What kind of food the woman eats.C.To what extent people care about diet and nutrition.D.Whether the woman has developed a good eating habit or no
30、t.解析:解析:本题询问男士想要弄清楚什么。录音中男士提到,他们想了解学生通常吃什么,弄清楚学生有多关注饮食和营养,C符合录音要求,该项的To what extent对应录音的how。录音中男士提到的是调查是为了制作健康饮食的宣传单,A“学生有多关注宣传单上的信息”只是利用information和leaflet编造的干扰项,故排除。A.She likes burgers best.B.She never eats spaghetti.C.She likes to eat cauliflower.D.She eats what is thought healthy.解析:解析:选项都是关于She
31、的饮食习惯,因此应留意相关内容。录音中女士提到。她最喜欢吃的是汉堡(the best has got to be a burger),A项与录音相符。女士说她偶尔喜欢意大利面,因此B“她从不吃意大利面”也不正确;女士说她不是那么喜欢(never been that keen on)花椰菜,故C也排除;录音中女士提及莴苣和其他东西被认为是健康的,但不是真正的膳食,言外之意,也是她不喜欢吃人们认为健康的东西,故排除D。A.She is too busy to have breakfast.B.She prefers a bar of chocolate to breakfast.C.She get
32、s up too late.D.The smell of breakfast puts her off.解析:解析:根据选项的关键词too busy to have breakfast,prefersto breakfast,too late,puts her off推断本题可能问为何不吃早餐。录音中,女士说她几乎总是睡过头了,即起床太晚是她不吃早餐的原因,因此选C。A“她太忙而不能吃早餐”未在会话中提及;录音提到,女士通常只吃一块巧克力作为午餐,与题目所问的早餐无关,故排除B;D项是用录音中的原词胡乱拼凑制造的干扰项,也排除。A.It contains too many eggs.B.It
33、is too fatty.C.It is OK on a regular basis.D.It is nutritious.解析:解析:根据选项可推断本题询问某物怎么样。录音中男士提到不太推荐常吃女士自制的煎炸早餐,因为含有太多油了,因此B正确。会话中男士只是问了女士一周吃多少个鸡蛋,并未提到女士的早餐含太多鸡蛋。排除A;C项与录音中wouldnt recommend相矛盾,也排除;录音中,男士只是说女士自制的早餐一周吃一次是可以的,结合录音中的too much flat,可知D中的nutritious“营养的”是没有根据的。A.Once in a while.B.Once in a moon.C.Seldom.D.Once a day.解析:解析:由选项可知本题问频率。题目问女士吃多久吃一次苹果。会话中,女士提到,她几乎不吃苹果(I might eat an apple once in a blue moon),C项的Seldom与录音中的once in a blue moon意思一样,故选C。解答本题的关键是知道once in a blue moon(千载难逢地)这个短语的意思。
