1、2006年1月四级考试真题答案真题 120Part I Listening Comprehension Section A Directions: In this section,you will hear 10 short conversations. At the end of each conversaiton, a question will be asked about what was said. Both the conversation and the question will be spoken only once.After each question there wil
2、l be a pause. During the pause, you must read the four choices marked A、B、C and D, and decide which is the best answer. Then mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the centre.第1题：参考答案：A答案解析：W：Carol told us on the phone not to worry about herHer left doesnt hurt
3、as much as it did vesterday M：Shed better haveit examined by a doctor anyway And Ill call her about it this evening Q：What does the man think Carol should do? See a doctor本题属于推理题。女士说：“Carol在电话中告诉我小要为她担 心，她的腿不 像昨天那么疼”。男士说：“不管在怎么样，她最好去医院检查一下。傍晚，我会打电话给她，问问此 事”。 B项“卧床几天”属语意干扰项。C项“换一家好医院”和D项“给医生打电话均属语音干扰
4、项。本题 从 女人活中的leftleg以及hurt可以明显知道这是我们常考的医疗健康场景，而在男人的回应中明显出现了 Shed better一词，作为建议句型的提示信息出现，标明答案所在。所以A项“看医生”为正确答案。第2题：参考答案：C答案解析：M：There is a non-stop train for Washington and it leaves at 2：30train W：Its faster than the2oclock train.besides,we can have something to eat before getting on the train Q：What
5、 do we learn from the conversation? The woman prefers to take the 2：30 train本题属于推理题。男士说：“有直达 华盛顿的 火车，两点半发车”。女士说：“它比两点钟的火车快。而且，上车之前，我们还可以吃点东西”。A项 “两 点钟的火车到的早”，B项“两点半的火车有餐车”和D项“他们在火车上会吃快餐”均属语意干扰项。 从女士的话中可以直接得到答案，即c项“女上更喜欢坐两点半的火车”为正确答案。本题通过男人话中的 train可知为交通场景。而火车在以往考试中的负面特色往往为：误点、慢、伙食差等几个方面。第3题：参考答案：D答案
6、解析：M：Hi，Melissa,how is your project going?Have you thought about going to graduate school?Perhaps you could get into FIarvarD. w：Everything is coming along really wellIve been thinking about graduate schoolbut Ill talk to my tutor Dr. Garcia first and see what she thinks . Q：What do we learn about t
7、he woman from the conversation? Shell consult DrGarcia about entering graduate school本题属于推理题。 男士说：“你好， Melissa，你的项目进行如何?考虑过读研究生吗?你可能被哈佛录取”。女士说： “一切进行的确实很顺 利。我一直在考虑读研的事。但足，我会先跟Garcia博：L淡淡，听听她的意见”。A项“她一直渴望着上哈 佛”，B项“她会认真考虑男_J：的建议”和C项“在Garcia博士的帮助下，她已经完成了项目”均属语意干 扰项。从女士的话中可以直接得到答案，即D项“关于读研的事，她会咨询Garcia博
8、士”为正确答案。本题 通过男人的project一词即可推断为学习场景。而在男人对l女人反复发问后女人的回答自然重要，而女人回 答 中的but一词，是解题的关键。如果能在平时加强对but这类小词的听力敏感度，可谓百试不爽。所以本题答 案为Shell consult DrGarcia about entering graduate school值得一提的是，本题答案中那个 consuIt 其实也是 个词组词汇的考点，因此对不认识该单词的同学来说，也是一大困惑。就本题答案本身而言，用排除法还足 不难的。但另一个选项中也考察r一个词组词汇，而且考的还足一词多义，那就足选项中的She has been
9、longing to attend Harvard University其中的 long表示渴望的意思。第4题：参考答案：A答案解析：W：Did you attend Alices presentation last night?It was the first time for her to give a speech to a large audience M：How she could be so calm in front of so many people is really beyond me!Q：What do we learn from the conversation? Al
10、ice didnt seem to be nervous during her speech本题属于推理题。女士说： “昨晚你参加 Alice的演讲了吗?她是第一次在那么多人面前演讲。”男士说：“她在那么多人面前怎么会这么镇定?这真 使 我难以置信!”B项“Alice在公众演讲方面需要更多培训”， C项“男士几乎无法理解Allce的演讲”和D 项“男士对Alice的演讲评价不高”均属语意干扰项。从男上的话中可以直接得到答案，即A项“Alice好像 对 演讲并不紧张”为正确答案。本题也能同过presentation一词推断为学习场景，从而加快对对话的理解。 而本 题考察的事实上足反问句式，虽然形
11、式上水说这只是个带主语从句的陈述句，但其根本会发现，男人的表 达就是一个反问式的感叹：How could she be so calm in front of so many people?她住那么多人面前 怎么会这么 镇定?而就本题答案而言，也完伞符合以往考题中的女生从容的特点。第5题：参考答案：C答案解析：W：Youve been doing weather reports for nearly 30 yearsHas the weather got any worse in all these years? M：Well,not necessaily worse,But were see
12、ing more swings. Q：What does the man say about the weather? There are more extremes in the weather本题属十词汇题。女士说：“你做天气 预报近30 年了。在这么多年坐，天气足小足越来越糟了” 男士说：“不一定足越来越糟，但足我们看到越米越多 的时 候天气摇摆不定，变化无常”。A项“天气比30年以前糟糕了”， 和B项“天气跟以前一样”属语音十扰 项。 D项“温度有明显上升”均属语意干扰项。从男士的话中可以直接得到答案，即C项“天气出现更多的极端 现 象”为正确答案。本题也能通过weather repo
13、rts推测为天气场景，本题也同样适用but这一技巧。男人回 答中 的but无疑给考生以暗示，指叫答案所在。但之后就体现了这次考试的一个很人特点，就是听力原文中的 难 词：本题中的swing其意思为摇摆不定、大起大落的意思。而答案中只有more extremes一词与此对应。但 通 过上下文也能推测该答案。男人前句说到不见得真的变差了，后文又用but转折，说叫还是自不好的地 方。第6题：参考答案：B答案解析：M：Excuse me，I am looking for the textbook by ProfJordan for the marketing course w：I am afraid
14、its out of stockYou11 have to order itAnd it will take the DubliSher 3 weeks to send it to US Q：Where did the conversation most probably take place? At a bookstore本题属于推理题。男士说：“打扰一下，我正在找一本由Jordan教 授编写 的一本市场营销课的教材”。女士说：“我想已经卖完了。你得订购，三周以后，出版商可以把书寄 到”。本题 通过文中的找textbook可知足个和书有关的场景。女人的话中out of stock，即没有库存
15、的意思，这足书 店的 特点，当然阅览室借完了，也勉强凑合，但再往下的order则绝对排除了阅览室的可能，因为order表示预 定买 的意思。最后那句中的publisher send又排除了，出版礼的可能。所以奉题答案为：Acthe book store第7题：参考答案：A答案解析：M：I am going to New York next weekbut the hotel 1 booked is really expensive W：Why book a hotel? my brother has 2 spare rooms in his apartment.Q：What does the
16、woman mean?The man can stay in her brothers apartment本题属于推理题。男士说： “下周我要去纽约， 但是我预定的旅馆太贵了。”女士说：“为什么要预定旅馆呢?我哥哥的公寓里有两间空房”。 B项“她 哥哥能 帮找到便宜的旅馆”， C项“她哥哥能帮找到公寓”和D项“男士应该预定便宜一些的旅馆”均属语意干 扰项。 从女士的话中可以直接得到答案，即A项“男士可以住住她哥哥的公寓里”为正确答案。第8题：参考答案：C答案解析：M：In my opinion。watching the news on TV is a good way to learn Eng
17、lishWhat do you think? w：It would be better if you could check the same information in English newspapers afterwarwards.Q：What does the man say about learning English? Its more effective to combine listening with reading本题属于推理题。 男士说：“我认为看 电视新闻足学英语的好方法，你觉得呢?”女士说：“如果之后再看一遍英文报纸上同样的新闻那就更好 了”。 A项“听力更重要”，
18、B项“每天读英文报纸非常有帮助”和D项“阅读比听力更重要”均属语意干扰项。 从女士的 话中可以直接得到答案，即C项“把听与读结合起来史有效”为正确答案。本题为一个建议型的表达，用 的 是if表原因的形式。而if这个小词也正足我们四级考试的重点，无时无处不提醒着我们答案的出现。此处 男 人的话的意思说：如果在那之后你能在英语报纸上看看相州的信息就更好了。言下之意：把听与读结合起 来 更有效。第9题：参考答案：B答案解析：M：I hear a newly-invented drug can make people tell the truthand it may prove useful in q
19、uestioning terrorists1snt it incredible? w：Simple solutions to complex problems rarely succeeD.As far as I know,no such drugs are ever known to work. Q：What does the woman think ofthe new drug? It will most likely prove ineffective本题属于推理题。男士说：“我听说一 种新研发的药能止人说实话，在审问恐怖主义者时可能被证明有效，令人难以相信是吗?”女士说：“用简单方法解
20、决复 杂问 题很少有成功的。就我所知，这样的药没有起作用过。”A项“它能帮助解决复杂问题”， C项“它足抵 抗恐怖 主义者的新武器，和D项“它能帮助发现各种各样撒谎的人”均属语意干扰项。从女士的话中可以直接得 到答 案，即B项它很有可能被证明为正确答案。 本题考察第一大难度就是词汇本身，用作动词质问的 question、恐怖分子terrorist以及无法让人相信的incredible都足高端词汇，用于听力中对考生会有较 大干扰。 而本题考察重点在于女人的态度，考察了女人对让人说实话的药品的态度。女人话中的第一句就可以作为 参 考，但足却难在一个近音词汇rarely上，对该词不熟悉的同学很可能听
21、成really，在这样的情况下，反而 得到 了截然相反的答案。女人后半句对前半句做出解释， as far as I know提示答案的出现。第10题：参考答案：D答案解析：M：You know,the electronics company is coming to our campus to recruit graduate students next week W：Really?What day?Id like to talk to them and hand in my resume Q：What doesthewomanwantto do? Apply for ajob in the
22、electronics company本题属于推理题。男士说：“你知 道吗?下周电 子公司要来我们校园招聘毕业生。”女士说：“真的吗?哪一天?我要跟他们谈谈，递上简历。”A项“帮 助公士司 招聘毕业生”，B项“下周参观那家电了公司”和C项“毕业前在校园里找到一份兼职”均属语意干扰项。 从女： 的话中可以直接得到答案，即 D项“在那家电子公司申请一份工作”为正确答案。本题出现考察词组词汇 考点。其中recruit则足一般考生都无法听懂的一个词，表示招收(员工、职员的意思)。本题通过company和 campus 可以大致了解是个公司到学校招聘的问题。而考点却不在这里，在女人的话中最后那个词res
23、ume意思为 简历。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、C and D.
24、 Then mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the centre.听力原文 A new study reports the common drug aspirin greatly reduces life threatening problems after an operation to replace blocked blood vessels to the heart. More than 800,000 people around the world have th
25、is heart surgery each year. The doctors who carried out this study say giving aspirin to patients soon after the operation could save thousands of lives. People usually take aspirin to control pain and reduce high body temperature. Doctors also advise some people to take aspirin to help prevent hear
26、t attacks. About 10-15 percent of these heart operations end in death or damage to the heart or other organs. The new study shows that even a small amount of aspirin reduced such threats. The doctors said the chance of death for patients who took aspirin would fall by 67%. They claimed this was true
27、 if the aspirin was given within 48 hours of the operation. The doctors believe aspirin helps heart surgery patients because it can prevent blood from thickening and blood vessels from being blocked. However, the doctors warned that people who have stomach bleeding or other bad reactions from aspiri
28、n should not take it after heart surgery. 第11题：参考答案：D答案解析：What is the finding ofthe new study ofaspirin? It reduces the chance ofdeath for heart surgery patients本题提问的就是文 章开头第一句A new study reports the common drug aspirin greatly reduces life threatening problems after an operation to replace blocked
29、blood vesselstothe heart，文章主旨、名明对象等一直就足往年说明议论型文章的考查重心， 而且也是 文章中会反复涉及的内容，因此比较容易把握。第12题：参考答案：A答案解析：In what way can aspirin help heart surgery patients according to the doctors? It keeps blood vessels from being blockeD.本题问及的足阿司匹林如何帮助做 过心脏于术 的病人，看似足个方法，其实在原文中仍然以原因的形式表达，在原文倒数第二句中The doctorsbelieve aspir
30、in helps heart surgery patients because it can prevent blood from thickening and blood vessels from being blocked， Because明显指示第二题的答案。此为因果考察点。第13题：参考答案：A答案解析：What warning did the doctors give about the use ofaspirin? It is harmful to heart surgery patients with stomach bleeding本题考察位 置出现在文章末句 HOweve r
31、the doctors warned that people who have stomach bleeding or other bad reactions from aspirin should not take it after heart surgery，也足以往出题的重点位置之一，而考察点则为转折However后的内容。根 据常识我们 知道，几乎任何医疗行为都会有副作用，而任何医药说明或医生嘱咐的最后一句一般都是经过转折后产生 的对该副作用的提醒以及避免方法的说明。这里的However也很明确的指示了答案的鲜明特征。此为转折考察点。听力原文 Were you the first or
32、 the last child in your family? Or were you a middle or an only child? Some people think it matters where you were born in your family. But there are different ideas about what birth order means. Some people say that oldest children are smart and strong-willed. They are very likely to be successful.
33、 The reason for this is simple: parents have a lot of time for their first child, they give him or her a lot of attention. So this child is very likely to do well. An only child will succeed for the same reason. What happens to the other children in the family? Middle children dont get so much atten
34、tion, so they dont feel that important. If a family has many children, the middie one sometimes gets lost in the crowd. The youngest child, though, often gets special treatment. He or she is the baby. Often this child grows up to be funny and charming. Do you believe this idea of birth order too? A
35、recent study saw things quite differently. The study found that first children believed in family rules. They didnt take many chances in their lives. They usually followed orders. Rules didnt mean as much to later children in the family. They went out and followed their own ideas. They took chances
36、and they often did better in life. 第14题：参考答案：B答案解析：According to common belief,in what way are the first child and the only child alike? They are very likely to succeed in Iife本题考察了家中第一个孩了和独生了的 共性，足综 合考察比较双方的题目。文中提到Some people say that oldest childrcn are smart and strong. willed.They are very likely
37、 to be successful.An only child will succeed for the same reason虽然从题型上看来有一 定难度，但考察点 仍然足因果关系，文中涉及到理由The reason一句加上so一句的支持，使之成为了，我们第一题的答案位置。第15题：参考答案：C答案解析：What do people usually say about middle children? They get less attention from their parents.本题考察了中间出生的孩子的特征， 文中提到 Middle children dont get so muc
38、h attention，so they dont feel that important，表现了其中 的原委。因此这又是一 个因果类型的题目。第16题：参考答案：A答案解析：What do we learn about later children in a family from a recent study of birth order? They usually dont follow family rules本题压轴在文章最后一句，题目难度也 相心改变， 一眼扫去，除了结尾这一明显特点外，似乎考点并不显。这里考察了研究结果中后期出生的孩子的特点；虽 然没明显的关联词，但不难发现，这一点
39、是和前一句中家中最早出生的孩了形成鲜明对比的部分，其实也就 是在 Rules didnt mean as much to later children in a familyThey went out and followed their own ideas省略了 However，这类题在以往考察短对话中也时有见到省略转折词或原因词的。听力原文 When my interest shifted from space to the sea, I never expected it would cause such confusion among my friends, yet I can und
40、erstand their feelings. As I have been writing and talking about space flight for the best part of 20 years, a sudden switch of interest to the depth of the sea does seem peculiar. To explain, Id like to share my reasons behind this unusual change of mind. The first excuse I give is an economic one.
41、 Underwater exploration is so much cheaper than space flight. The first round-trip ticket to the moon is going to cost at least 10 billion dollars if you include research and development. By the end of this century, the cost will be down to a few million. On the other hand, the diving suit and a set
42、 of basic tools needed for skin-diving can be bought for 20 dollars. My second argument is more philosophical. The ocean, surprisingly enough, has many things in common with space. In their different ways, both sea and space are equally hostile. If we wish to survive in either for any length of time
43、, we need to have mechanical aids. The diving suit helped the design of the space suit. The feelings and the emotions of a man beneath the sea will be much like those of a man beyond the atmosphere. 第17题：参考答案：C答案解析：How did the speakers friends respond to his change of interest? They were puzzled by
44、his decision本题从文章首句 When my interest shifted from space to the sea,I never expected it would cause such confusion among my friends，yet I can understand their feelings入手，考察 对文章首句的把握。因此17题答案为They were puzzled by his decision，以puzzle对应第一句中的 confusion第18题：参考答案：B答案解析：What is one ofthe reasons for the spe
45、aker to switch his interest to underwater exploration?It is much cheaper than space travel本题考察了分论点中比较重要的一方面， 文中以first的形式给出 The first excuse I give is an economic oneUnderwater exploration is so much。cheaper than spacc flight，这也是一贯的考法，考察的点常落在：最高级提示瓷词、first、chief、major、main等。第19题：参考答案：B答案解析：In what wa
46、y does the speaker think diving is similar to space travel? They can both be quite challenging。本题也非常的蹊跷，考察了比较的双方面特 点，有一定难度。但把握住文章末尾的核心句My second argument is more philosophicalThe ocean ， surprisingly enough，has many things in common with spaceIn their different ways，both sea and space are equally ho
47、stile，即可简单解题。虽燃不是最后一句，但其后都足对它支持的具体例子，已经无关紧要，而此处的hostile也对应了答案中的challenging第20题：参考答案：D答案解析：What is the speakers purpose in giving this talk? To explain why he took up underwater exploration本题考查的足文章主题。文 章的綦本结构给解题留下了线索，作为一个总一分一总结构的文章体系，分述往往回应总起，因此通过本文中的first和second分述，可以直接回应到主题To explain，Id like to shar
