3、es ,they have been searching the area for hours, but they havent found anybody else. They will keep searching until night falls. Q:What do we learn from the conversation?选C。此题为信息明示题。从女士的“they havent found anybody else”来看，可能找到部分幸存者，只是这几个小时没有找到更多的，说明C为正确答案。选项A和D的内容原文没有提及“night”是原文搜索的最后期限，所以选项B不合题意。第2题
4、：参考答案：D答案解析：M:How many students passed the final physics exam in your class? W:Forty, but still as many as 20 percent of the class failed, quite disappointing, isnt it? Q:What does the woman think of the exam?选D。此题为推断题。从女士所说的“quite disappointing”来看，考试结果出乎意料，令人失望，与选项D中的“fell short of her expectations
5、（出乎意料）”意义相同，所以答案为D。选项A与原文相反，选项C和B的内容在原文没有提到。第3题：参考答案：B答案解析：W:Lots of people enjoy dancing, do you? M:Believe it or not, that is the last thing I ever want to do. Q:What does the man mean?选B。此题为隐含否定题型。女士问男士是喜欢跳舞吗，男士回答说跳舞是“the last thing I ever want to do ”，这里暗含否定，即：跳舞是他最不愿意做的事情，由此可以判断他不喜欢跳舞。选项A与原文相反，
6、选项C和D的内容原文没有提及。第4题：参考答案：D答案解析：W:Jame, I am having difficulty with all the theoretic stuff we are getting in our computer course. M:Oh, that part I understand. What I cant figure out is how to make it work in our program. Q:What is the mans problem?选D。此题为推断题型。女士说她对计算机理论感到有困难，男士说他能理解，但是却不会把理论应用于操作。“ma
7、ke it work in our program”就是“apply the theory to the program”所以正确答案为D。原文讲的是计算机理论的应用，而不是计算机本身或与职员的关系，也不是选课程，所以选项A、B和C都不合题意。第5题：参考答案：C答案解析：W:Did you see Mary somewhere around? M:Yes, she is in the campus bank, applying for the students loan. Q:What was Mary doing?选C。此题为信息明示题型。女士说Mary在学校银行里申请学生贷款，关键词语是
8、bank和apply for a loan(申请贷款），选项C中的financial aid正是同义转述，故是正确答案。选项A中的law混淆了原文的loan；选项B混淆了原文细节，原文是申请贷款，而不是存钱，选项D原文没有提及。第6题：参考答案：B答案解析：W:The space shuttle is taking off tomorrow. M:I know, this is another routine mission. Its first flight was four years ago. Q:What are they talking about?选B。此题为推断题型。从女士所说的
9、space shuttle可以判断他们谈论的是太空飞行，由此可以排除A和C；根据another和Its first flight was four years ago可以排除D。第7题：参考答案：A答案解析：M:When are we supposed to submit our project proposals, Jane? W:They are due by the end of the week. Weve only two days left. Well just have to hurry. Q:What does the woman mean?选A。此题为信息明示题。女士所说的关
10、键词due也就意味着是deadline，既然只有两天的时间，说明the deadline is drawing near.选项C和D与原文相反；选项B在原文没有提到。第8题：参考答案：C答案解析：W:When I go on a diet, I eat only fruit, and that takes off weight quickly. M:I prefer to eat whatever I want, and then run regularly to lose weight. Q:How does the man control his weight?选C。此题为推断题型。男士说
11、他通过跑步减肥，关键词为“run regularly”,指运动的一种方式，选项C为体育锻炼，所以是正确答案。其余三个选项都是对话中女士所采取的减肥措施。第9题：参考答案：A答案解析：W:John, can you tell me what in the book interested you most? M:No, well, nothing specific, but I like it overall. Q:What did the man think of the book?选A。此题为信息明示题型。男士说整本书他都喜欢，关键语句为like it overall,选项A的enjoy it
12、 as a whole正是此义的转述。其他三个选项都是不喜欢或部分不喜欢，与原文不符。第10题：参考答案：C答案解析：W:How do you like the car I just bought? M:Well, it seems to run well, but I think it needs a new paint job. Q:What does the man think about the car?选C。此题为推断题型。男士说该车运行良好，就是该重新刷漆了表明这个车看上去很旧，所以正确答案为C。选项A与原文相反；原文中paint不是repair，所以排除B;原文的代词it指汽车，
13、而不是engine,所以排除选项D。Section B Directions: In this section, you will hear 3 short passages. At the end of each passage, you will hear some questions. Both the passage and the questions will be spoken only once. After you hear a question, you must choose the best answer from the four choices marked A、B、

However, there were some significant differences on other points. The average negotiators thought in terms of the prese
16、nt, but the good negotiators took a long-term view. They made lots of suggestions and considered twice the number of alternatives. The average negotiators set their objectives as single points. We hope to get two dollars, for example. The good negotiators set their objectives in terms of a range, wh
17、ich they might formulate as we hope to get two dollars, but if we get one dollar fifty, it will be all right. The average negotiators tried to persuade by giving lots of reasons. They used a lot of different arguments. The good negotiators didnt give many reasons. They just repeated the same ones. T
18、hey also did more summarizing and reviewing, checking they were understood correctly. 第11题：参考答案：C答案解析：What do good negotiators and average negotiators have in common?选C。此题为信息明示题。原文第三句说“there is no difference in the time the two groups spent on planning their strategy”，说明他们在准备时间上是相同的。选项A、B和D在原文均未提及。第
19、12题：参考答案：D答案解析：According to the speaker, what would good negotiators【谜团破解】选D。此题为综合推理题。原文的第七句说“good negotiators can make a lot of suggestions and consider twice the number of the alternatives”，说明他们能够提前做多种准备，可以推断出他们更具灵活性，所以正确答案为D。其余三个选项的内容在原文没有提及。第13题：参考答案：B答案解析：According to the speaker，what does the
20、average negotiator usually do?【谜团破解】选B。本题为信息再现题。原文倒数第四句说“the average negotiators tried to persuade by giving a lot of reasons”，与选项B所陈述的内容相同。选项A和C为优秀谈判者的特点，选项D在原文没有提及。听力原文 To most of us, sharks are the most dangerous fish in the sea and they attack humans. However, according to Doctor Clark, who has
21、studied the behavior of sharks for twelve years, humans are not normally on a sharks menu. What do sharks feed on? Mainly fish and other small sea animals. Doctor Clark also found that sharks dont eat as much food as people think. For instance, a nine-foot shark only needs two pounds of food a day t
22、o keep healthy. But she says sometimes sharks starve and at other times they fill themselves with what they have killed. Around the world, there are only about 100 shark attacks on humans each year, ten of which prove fatal. But consider this: in the U. S. alone, about 3 million people are bitten by
23、 dogs each year. Of these, 13 people die. If a shark bites you, says Doctor Clark, the reason is usually because it mistakes you for its natural food. For example, say you went underwater fishing and saw a shark, you could be in trouble. The shark might go for the injured fish you had attacked and t
24、ake a big bite of you at the same time. If you go into a sharks territory and threaten it, it might try to bite you. Thats because sharks are territorial and tend to guard their territory. Like dogs, they protect the area that they think is their own. 第14题：参考答案：D答案解析：What does the passage say about
25、the eating behavior of sharks? 此题为综合推理题。文中第四、第五句说提到“sharks dont eat as much as people think”说明他们吃的比人们想象得要少，所以D为正确答案。选项A和C与原文相反，选项B在原文没有提到。第15题：参考答案：B答案解析：When might a shark attack humans?【谜团破解】选B。此题为信息明示题。文中提到了鲨鱼攻击人的几种情况，最后提到“if you go into a sharks territory and threaten it, it might try to bite yo
26、u”，选项B正好是此义的转述，即鲨鱼在感到威胁时才会向人类进攻。其余的选项在原文并没有提及。第16题：参考答案：A答案解析：What do we learn from the passage about sharks?【谜团破解】选A。此题为主旨题。文章的主题要看文章主要内容以及叙述方式。文章提到了狗，但不是将鲨鱼作为朋友提到，所以B可以排除。从文章所叙述的鲨鱼在什么情况下才向人进攻来看，鲨鱼攻击人类并非出于本性，所以C不对。文章开始提到人们一般都认为鲨鱼很危险，而正文又介绍鲨鱼在很多情况下对人并无威胁，所以答案为A，即本篇文章试图说明鲨鱼并不如人们所想象的那么可怕。选项D不符合事实。听力原文
27、 Science fiction writers have often imagined human beings going to live on Mars. But these days scientists are taking the idea seriously. It has a great deal to recommend it since it might solve the problem of over- crowding on the earth. But obviously it would not be worth making the effort unless
28、people could live there naturally. If the atmosphere were like that of the earth, this might be possible. But in fact, its mostly carbon dioxide (CO2. Apart from that, there are other problems to be overcome. For example, the temperature would have to be raised from 60 degrees below zero to 15 degre
29、es above it. Scientists who study Mars have laid down the program that they can follow. To begin with, they will have to find out whether life has ever existed on the planet Mars in the past. Secondly, they will have to make a reliable map of its surface and finally they will have to make a list of
30、the gases. Above ail, they will have to discover how much nitrogen it possesses, since nitrogen is four-fifth of the air we breathe. Theyre surprisingly optimistic about raising the temperature on Mars and believe it could be done in 200 years. It will take a bit longer, though, to transform the atm
31、osphere so that human beings could live there. Scientists estimate that this will take 100,000 years. 第17题：参考答案：A答案解析：Why are scientists interested in Mars? 此题为综合推理题。从文章的第一句的“human beings going to live on the Mars”和第三句“it might solve the problem of overcrowding on the earth”可以判断科学家们对火星感兴趣的原因是人们有可能要移
32、民到火星，所以正确答案为A。选项B和C在原文没有提及；选项D不是科学家感兴趣的原因。第18题：参考答案：D答案解析：What is one of the things that must be done before man选D。此题为综合推理题。原文中提到了几个火星不适合人类居住的因素，其中有一句“If the atmosphere were like that of the earth, this might be possible”说明如果人们要在火星上居住，其大气就应该改变，所以正确答案为D。选项A和C在原文没有提及；原文提到温度应该提高，而不是降低，所以选项B不合题意。第19题：参考
33、答案：D答案解析：Why do scientists want to find out whether there is sufficient nitrogen on Man?【谜团破解】选D。此题为综合推理题。原文提到“nitrogen is four fifths of the air we breathe”（占我们呼吸的空气的五分之四），那就说明氮是我们所呼吸的空气的主要成分，所以选D。其余的选项原文均未提及。第20题：参考答案：C答案解析：What is the prospect of people living on Mars?【谜团破解】选C。本题为信息明示题。文章最后一句话说“t
34、his will take one hundred thousand years”，与C相同。选项A和D与原文内容相比不完整。选项B与原文相反。Part II Reading Comprehension Directions: There are 4 passages in this part. Each passage is followed by some questions or un- finished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A、B、C and D. You should decide on
35、 the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the centre.第21题：参考答案：C答案解析：【精析】选C。本题为细节推理题。文章第一句说这种导航系统目前大多数用在名贵车上，但将来会降价，那么使用它的市场就会扩大。选项A，原文没有提及它对汽车销售的影响；选项B和D在原文没有提及。第22题：参考答案：A答案解析：【精析】选A。本题为推理题。司机运用导航计算机的方式在文章第五段第三句话:on most systems , driver ente
36、rs a desired address，说明司机要想找到最佳的行车路线，只需输人目的地即可，所以答案为A.其他三个选项都是系统的功能。第23题：参考答案：C答案解析：精析选C。本题为细节辨认题。文章的后半部分介绍了几种车型所用的导航计算机的不同之处，一是the drivers request for directions,一是the way it presents the driving instructions,由此可以判断选项B不对。从第五段第一句most systems are basically identical可以判断，无论什么样的导航计算机，其工作原理大体相同，即选项C。选项D
37、原文说24部卫星至少有三部在为一辆车服务，说明所用的卫星不同。第24题：参考答案：B答案解析：【精析】选B。本题为推理题。文章的第三段介绍了导航计算机的工作原理，一是通过天线接收卫星上发送的信息，文章的第四段又介绍了这种信息要与计算机所存储的地图结合（combined with a map database）由此可以判断答案为B。其他三个选项都没有提到卫星的作用。第25题：参考答案：D答案解析：【精析】选D。本题为推理题。文章倒数第三段说这些导航系统基本上相同，只是电脑接收司机信息的方式不同而已。下面的文字是对这一句话的举例说明。选项A系统的不成熟对所有的车都相同；选项B和C原文没有提及。第2
38、6题：参考答案：A答案解析：【精析】A。本题为推理题。文章的第一段通过假设的方式，展示了作者心目中学生可能有的看法，从本段第二句话“most students would tear it apart, offering a long list of complains.”可以判断学生认为世界环境状况不容乐观，所以答案为A。选项B是作者的观点；选项C和D不符合原文。第27题：参考答案：C答案解析：【精析】选C。本题为推理题。文章第一段最后一句话“The surprise is how good things are, not how bad”似乎是说“人口的急剧增长与生产的扩大对环境带来了正面影
39、响”，但是从下文叙述方式来看，作者所欲说明的应该是“对世界环境的影响不大”。选项A和D原文没有提及；作者虽在原文要表达的是人类的增长对环境的影响不大，但也多处提到很多不良影响，所以选项B中的positive influence明显是不符合原意的。第28题：参考答案：D答案解析：【精析】选D。本题为细节辨认题。文章倒数第二段第四句“people have looked for the resources of supply,For this prices for energy and for minerals have fallen in real terms”说明从长远来看，价格出于下降趋势的
40、原因之一应该是应该失总能找到新的能源，即选项D。选项A与原文内容无关；选项B是短期影响；选项C本身不合常理，而且原文没有提及。第29题：参考答案：B答案解析：【精析】选B。本题为推理题。文章最后一句“If no one owns the resources concerned，no one has an interest in conserving it for fostering it, fish is the best example of this.”说明鱼类资源变少的原因应该是它们不为任何企业或组织所拥有，即选项B。选项A指的是能源；选项C和D原文没有提及。第30题：参考答案：A答案解
41、析：【精析】选A。本题为推理题。文章的最后一段第一句话“It is where prices and markets do not operate properly that this benign trend begins to stumble, and the genuine problems arises.”说明要解决环境问题，首要的是要使市场运作正常，即选项A。选项B原文讲能源的消费是说明其受市场的影响；选项C和D原文没有提及。第31题：参考答案：B答案解析：【精析】选B。本题为细节题。文章第二段“some thought it was unfair to minority child
42、ren”,说明有人认为智商测试对少数民族的孩子不公平，也就是反对对少数民族学生的歧视，即选项B。选项A原文没有对测试的validity做出评价；选项C原文说黑人要求进行测试，所以不是反对；选项D它的结果只对special education classes有用。第32题：参考答案：C答案解析：【精析】选C。本题为推理题。文章第二段说诉讼中提到“政府禁止智力测试是对他们黑人儿童的歧视，这样一来他们的子女就不能进人特殊的班级受教育”。指责其不公，自然要取消，所以答案为C。其他三个选项原文都没有提及。第33题：参考答案：D答案解析：【精析】选D。本题为推理题。文章的第四段最后一句话和第五段的第一句话
43、表明智力测试有助于家长找到其子女在教育上存在问题的原因，以便找到解决改进的办法。选项A和C原文说进行智力测试不是对黑人儿童的歧视，所以不会减轻种族冲突；选项B原文没有提及。第34题：参考答案：A答案解析：【精析】选A。本题为推理题。从倒数第二段倒数第二句“It is hard to say that what are the best producers”来看，作者认为对收养儿童问题很难说哪种方法更好。选项B和D这个方法后来被改变，所以不行；选项C原文没有提及。第35题：参考答案：D答案解析：【精析】选D。本题为推理题。文章倒数二、三段讲收养问题，倒数第三段第一句话“Unfortunately
44、, intellectual level seems to be a sensitive subject，and what the law allows us to do varies from time to time.”是主题句。说明人们的观点会经常发生变化，即选项D。选项A中的“good will”在原文中只是说明变化无常；选项B和C在原文没有提及。第36题：参考答案：A答案解析：【精析】选A。本题为主旨题。第一段中的however说明所展示的是两种观点，答案为A。选项B的however不是引导争议而是进行对比；选项C只是提到一方，与原文的对比不符；选项D原文只是进行总体的对比。第37题
45、：参考答案：D答案解析：【精析】选B。本题为推理题。文章第一段所展示的第一种观点substituted in their place superficial relationships with passing acquaintances,说明人们以往认为城市居民不可能发展长久的友谊。“notlong-standing”即原文的“passing”。选项A兴趣是城市居民的特点；选项C和D原文没有提及。第38题：参考答案：C答案解析：【精析】选C。本题为推理题。文章第三段提到“If neighbors are strangers to one another, they are less like
46、ly to sweep the sidewalk of an elderly couple living next door or keep an eye out for young trouble makers”，说明邻里之间很可能出现彼此都不关心的状况，即选项C。选项A原文没有提及；选项B这是城市居民关系产生的原因；选项D只是对陌生人怀疑。第39题：参考答案：C答案解析：【精析】选C。本题为推理题。文章最后提到，大城市的居民比小城镇居民见识广to be tolerant of nontraditional religious groups,说明社区越大，人们越容易变得包容，思想也越开放，所
47、以答案为C。选项A和B原文没有提到；选项D城市与农村在心理反应方面都一样。第40题：参考答案：A答案解析：【精析】选A。本题为主旨题。本篇文章对比了大城市与小城镇中的人际关系，但并没有强调在大城市中居住优越，所以选项B不对；文中提到了很多在城市居住的负面影响，显然选项C也不对；文章第二段提到“nor are residents of large communities any likelier to display psychological symptoms of stress or alienation”说明D不对。由此可以判断答案为A。Part Vocabulary and Struct
