3、omorrow. M:But I havent decided which courses to take yet. Q:What are the man and woman talking about?【谜团破解】选A。此题为含but题型。女士说计算机和社会学的课程到后天截止，男士用but表示转折，说还没有准备好选哪门课，这里的关键短语为which courses to take，所以是正确答案是A, register相当于原文中的take。原文的course是课程而不是道路，所以B不对；原文的computer和sociology是课程名称，选项C显然不妥；选项D犯了以偏概全的错误。第2题：
4、参考答案：D答案解析：M:Im looking for an apartment with a monthly rent to around 200 dollars in this neighborhood. Can you give me some advice on that? W:Well, its rather hard to find anything for less than 300 dollars around here. Rents are lower in the suburbs, but youll need transportation if you choc6e to
5、 live there. Q:What do we learn from the conversation?【谜团破解】选D。此题为推断题型。女士的话是说附近租金在300元以下的房子很难找，郊区的房子比较便宜，但需要考虑交通问题。由此可见，男士想花200元不大可能找到合适的住房。所以正确答案为D。选项A中的roommate在原文中没有提到，所以排除；选项B只讲到suburb的情况，不全面；选项C不合题意是因为原文只提到transportation,而没有提到买车。第3题：参考答案：B答案解析：W:Well,tonight we have Professor Brown in the studi
6、o to talk about his recent book Fashion Images. Good evening, professor. M:Good evening, and thank you for inviting me here this evening. Q:What is the woman doing?【谜团破解】选B。此题为推断题型。对话中的关键部分为tonight we have Professor Brown in the studio to talk。女士要在演播间介绍教授的新书，教授当面表示感谢，说明女士正在主持节目，所以正确答案为B。在studio里不一定就
7、是画画，所以选项A不对，而选项C和D不合题意。第4题：参考答案：C答案解析：M:Have you run up against any problems in getting your passport renewed? W:I havent started applying yet. Q:What do we know from the conversation?【谜团破解】选C。此题为推断题型。男士间女士在更新护照时有没有碰到问题，女士说她还没有开始申请，也就是说她还没有更新她的护照，所以正确答案为C。此题的关键词是renewed和havent started applying。原文讲申请
8、更新护照的困难，女士的话只是说她还没有申请，并不是表示有无申请困难，更没有提到她的护照是否还有效，所以选项A、B和D不对。第5题：参考答案：B答案解析：M:I must point out that trials of new medicine are expensive and you can never guarantee success. W:But theres a very good chance in this case. I do hope youll go ahead in view of the potential benefit to mankind. Q:What are
9、 the two speakers talking about?【谜团破解】选B。此题为信息明示题型。男士说进行新药品的实验很贵而且不能保证会成功，女士说希望实验进行下去，因为新药可能对人类有益。此题的关键语句是the potential benefit to mankind，而选项B正好是这个关键语句的同义转述，所以是正确答案。选项A是对人类将来的预测，而对话中主要是讲一种可能对人类有益的新药实验。不符题意；原文讲的是新药的试验，不是工作机会，所以选项C不对；男士说不能保证成功，并没有说一定不会成功，所以D也不对。第6题：参考答案：A答案解析：W:Whats the difference b
10、etween a lesson and a lecture? M: Well, they are both ways of imparting knowledge. But the main difference is that you participate in a lesson whereas you just listen to a lecture. A lecture is generally given to a much larger group. Q:What does the man mean?【谜团破解】选A。此题为信息明示题型。男士说lesson和lecture的区别在于
11、前者需要学生参加，而后者学生只需要听，选项A为原文you participate in a lesson的同义转述，所以是正确答案。因为原文并没有对比学生的参与程度，所以选项B不对；选项C的内容原文没有提到；原文中谈到了lecture的听众较多，所以选项D也不对。至于是不是有更多人对lesson更感兴趣，原文并未作任何评价。第7题：参考答案：B答案解析：M:Youd better do something about that watch of yours. It must have stopped hours ago. Mine says 7. Q:What conclusion can w
12、e draw from this conversation?【谜团破解】选B。此题为推断题。女士说现在是4点，而男士说你最好修修你的表，现在是7点了，所以实际上是女士的表三个钟头前就停了。原文只说女士的表不准，而男士的表没有问题，所以选项A不对；选项C说男士的表走得太快，但从原文可以看承男士的表是没有问题的故C不对；原文的dark指天色，是“4点就这么黑”，所以选项D不合题意。第8题：参考答案：D答案解析：:Youre looking a little overwhelmed. W:Exactly. You know I got a million things to do and all o
13、f them have to be finished within 3 hours. Q:What does the woman mean?【谜团破解】选D。此题为推断题型。女士说我有很多事情要做，而且要在3小时内完成，由此推断女士非常忙。本题的关键语句是overwhelmed和a million things to do。原文并没有说女士对同时可做许多事感到自豪与否，所以选项A不对；原文也并没有说女士是否肯定能做完她的工作，所以选项B也不对；原文的millions of things并不是指百万富翁millionaire，所以选项C也不对。第9题：参考答案：C答案解析：M:Ah-Ah. Lo
14、oks like Im going to be a little late for class. I hope Professor Clark doesnt start on time today. W:Are you kidding? You can set your watch by the time he starts his class. Q:What can be inferred about Professor Clark?【谜团破解】选C。此题为推断题型。女士说她上课的时间很准，都可以用他上课的时间对表了，所以可以推断出Professor Clark总是很准时，所以选项C为正确答
15、案。原文只说讲授准时，没有说他的要求，所以A不合题意。原文“are you kidding”，表示否定前者的话，并不是在课上开玩笑，所以排除选项B;选项D所说的内容原文并没有提到。第10题：参考答案：B答案解析：M:Im both excited and nervous about the job interview this afternoon. W:Take it easy. Just wear tidy and clean clothes and response truthfully to inquiries. Remember, honesty is the best policy.
16、 Q:What do we learn about the man?【谜团破解】选B。此题为信息明示题型。本题的关键词“nervous about the job interview”是指面试前的状况，因此可以推断男士在求职。原文未提及考试，所以排除选项A；女士说“honesty is the best policy”，是要男士说实话，而不是说他不敢说谎，所以选项C不对；“respond truthfully to inquiries”是如实回答问题，而不是不知道答案，所以选项D也不是答案。Section B Directions: In this section, you will hear
17、 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、Cand D. Then mark the corresponding letter on the answer sheet with a
18、single line through the centre.听力原文 Jane Brown has been married for 12 years. She has three children and lives in the suburb outside Columbus, Ohio. When her youngest child reached school age, Jane decided to go back to work. She found that she should contribute to the household finances. Her salary

Jane was also felt bored and frustrated in her role as a homemaker and wanted to be more involved in life outside her home. Jane was worried about her childrens adjustment to this new situation, b
20、ut she arranged for them to go stay with a woman nearby after school each afternoon. They seemed to be happy with the arrangement. The problem seemed to be between Jane and her husband Bill. When Jane was at home all day, she was able to clean the house, go grocery shopping, wash the clothes, take c

Jane is be- coming very angry at Bills attitude. She feels that they should share the household jobs, but Bil
23、l feels that everything should be the same as it was before Jane went back to work. 第11题：参考答案：C答案解析：Why did Jean want to go back to work?【谜团破解】选C。此题为信息明示题。原文在第四句中由“she felt that”引出原因，即要为家庭经济做点奉献，选项C重复了原文的关键词finances，所以是正确答案。原文没有讲在家里闲着，所以A不合题意；选项B的内容原文并未提及；原文中说她丈夫希望她做好家务，由此推断他并不希望她去上班，所以排除选项D。第12题：参考
24、答案：A答案解析：How did Jean spend her days before she went back to【谜团破解】选A。此题为信息明示题型。原文在解释她去上班的第六句中说，她对家庭主妇的角色感到厌烦，由此可以推出，她上班前在家做家务。原文是说她把孩子送到邻居家，而不是照顾邻居家的孩子，所以选项B不合题意；选项C的内容只是她丈夫的生活习惯，所以排除；选项D不全面。第13题：参考答案：B答案解析：What problem arose when Jean went back to work?【谜团破解】选B。此题为综合推理题。原文的后半部分讲Jean和Bill的问题Bill说不习惯
25、妻子没有时间做家务，而Jean则希望丈夫能与她共同分担家务，由此推出Bill不适应这种新情况。原文讲Bill也在上班，并不是idle life,所以排除A；原文只说了Bill对Jean做家务的态度，并没有提及对她对家庭的态度，所以排除选项C，选项D所说的内容与原文相反。第14题：参考答案：C答案解析：What does the story try to tell us?【谜团破解】选C。此题为主旨题。原文倒数第二句说Jean认为Bill也应承担家务，是她的态度，所以也可以算为本文的观点，所以选项C是正确答案。选项A所说的内容并不是本文的中心内容；选项B的内容在本文没有做过多的涉及；选项D陈述不
26、全面，也不是冲突的主要方面。听力原文 The decade for natural disaster reduction is a program designed to reduce the impact of natural disasters throughout the world. With support from the United Nations, countries will be encouraged to share information about disaster reduction, for instance, information about how to
27、plan for and cope with hurricanes, earthquakes and other natural disasters. One of the most important things the program plans to do is to remind us of what we can do to protect ourselves, for example, we can pack a suitcase with flashlights, a radio, food, drinking water and some tools. This safety
28、 kit may help us survive a disaster until help arrives. Besides, the program will encourage governments to establish building standards, emergency response plans and training programs. These measures can help to limit the destruction by natural disasters. The comparatively mild effects of the Northe
29、rn California Earthquake in. 1989 are good evidence that we do have the technology to prevent vast destruction. The recent disasters, on the other hand, prove that people will suffer if we dont use that technology. When a highway collapsed in northern California, people were killed in their cars. Th
30、e highway was not built according to todays strict standards to resist earthquakes. Individuals and governments have to be farsighted. We should take extra time and spend extra money to build disaster safety into our lives. Although such a program cant hold back the winds or stop earthquakes, they c
31、an save peoples lives and homes. 第15题：参考答案：B答案解析：What is the purpose of the program mentioned in this passage? 此题为信息明示题型。原文第一句以“designed to”引出program的目的：减少自然灾害的影响，而选项B是此意义的同义转述，另外原文在举例说明后作了总结，与B选项的内容相同。原文未提及predict,所以排除选项A；选项C是条件，而不是目的；选项D中的hold back意为“阻止（的发生）”，与原文不符。第16题：参考答案：C答案解析：听力原文 What can we
32、 learn from the Northern California Earthquake in 1989? 此题为综合推理题。原文在1989年地震之后用“good evidence”引出经验教训，而此后“on the other hand”则从另一角度加以补充，大意是：科技起到了减轻灾害的作用，所以选项C为正确答案。原文只讲人们应该“far-sighted”，有远见，而不是控制灾害的可能性，所以选项A不合题意；选项B与此次地震得到的教训无关；选项D中的“predict”在原文中没有提到，更何况现在地震还是无法预测的。第17题：参考答案：D答案解析：Why did the highway i
33、n northern California collapse? 此题为信息明示题。原文倒数第四句“The highway was not built according to todays strict standards to resist earthquake.”告诉了大桥倒塌的原因是公路初建时没有执行当今严格的抗震标准，而选项D则是此句的同义转述，故是正确答案。选项A的内容在原文没有提到；选项B中的“of the time”指当时，而不是当今，所以不合题意。听力原文 Living at the foot of one of the worlds most active volcanoes
34、 might not appeal to you at all. But believe it or not, the area surrounding Mount Etna in Italy is packed with people. In fact, it is the most densely populated region on the whole Island of Sicily. The reason is that rich volcanic soil makes the land fantastic for farming. By growing and selling a
35、 variety of crops, local people earn a good living. For them, the economic benefit they reap surpasses the risk of dying or losing property in one of the volcanos frequent eruptions. People everywhere make decisions about risky situations this way, that is, by comparing the risks and the benefits. A
36、ccording to the experts, the size of the risk depends on both its probability and seriousness. Lets take Mount Etna for example: it does erupt frequently, but those eruptions are usually minor, so the overall risk for people living nearby is relatively small. But suppose Mount Etna erupts every day,
37、 or imagine that each eruption there killed thousands of people. If that were the ease, the risk would be much larger. Indeed, the risk would be too large for many people to live with, and they would have to move away. 第18题：参考答案：D答案解析：How do people make decisions about risky situations?【谜团破解】选D。此题为信
38、息明示题型。原文第七句用“that is”引出当人们在危险的情况时做出决定的方式，即：比较危险与利益。选项D中的“judge. against”正是比较、判断之意，所以是正确答案。原文未提及减少危险的程度，所以选项A不合题意。选项B只提到危险，不完整；原文提到“frequency”只是作为危险的因素之一，所以选项C不合题意。第19题：参考答案：C答案解析：What do we know about Mount Etna from the passage? 此题为信息明示题。原文的倒数第五句说该火山喷发频繁，但通常是小型喷发，选项C是此义的转述，所以是正确答案。原文只是假设喷发的程度强烈，使居民
39、搬走，并不是事实，所以选项A不合题意；选项B的内容与原文相反；选项D的内容在原文中未提到。第20题：参考答案：A答案解析：What will people living near Mount Etna do in the face of its eruptions? 此题为综合推理题。最后两句的大意是：如果一次喷发就造成成千人的死亡，那么周围的居民将会搬走，而实际情况是Etna火山喷发很轻微，所以人们将原地不动，所以正确答案为A。选项B的内容与原文相反；选项C和D的内容在原文中并没有提到。Part II Reading Comprehension Directions: There are 4
40、 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 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：A答案解析：
41、【精析】选A。本题为信息明示题。由问题中的“farming emerged as a survival strategy”对应原文第一段倒数第二句的“for a radically new survival strategy ”。原句中的“abandon. for”指出后者为新兴事物，而前者为其出现的原因，选项A正是此短语的同义转述。选项B只是原文所提到问题的表象；选项C的“shifting vegetation”指的实际上是沙漠化；原文中说抛弃的是旧式的生活，而不是原住地，所以D可排除。第22题：参考答案：D答案解析：【精析】选D。本题为细节题。问题中的“come to understand
42、 that climate”对应原文第二段第一句话的“in the midst of a revolution in understanding”.其后内容为答案：“how climate has changed in the past”。而本文第二段最后一句话指出变化是周期性的，所以选D。选项A中的fundamental是基本的变化，而从原文可以看出地球气候变化是周期性的，所以这次的气候变化不是最基本的变化，故A错；选项B原文提到10,000年是指全球变暖这个现象出现的时间；选项C原文没有提及。第23题：参考答案：C答案解析：【精析】选C。本题为信息明示题。第三段首句说气候变化对人类发展有重
43、大影响，由此可推知：人类的发展在很大程度上受气候影响，即选项C。选项A和B与原文相反；选项D混淆了原文影响的对象。第24题：参考答案：C答案解析：【精析】选C。本题为信息明示题。问题中的“evidence of past climate changes indicate”是对文章最后一段的最后一句“the pattern of climate change in the past reveals”的同义转述，而其后的内容为：全球气候很有可能会有剧烈变化。选项C是此义的同义转述。选项A原文没有提及；选项B与原文的“dramatic”相反；选项D与“almost certainly”相反。第25题
44、：参考答案：B答案解析：【精析】选B。本题为主旨题。由文章的最后一句破折号之后的内容：甚至无须人类的干预，说明人类无力改变自然，可以判断选项B为正确答案。原文没有对“human civilization”作评价，所以排除选项A；选项C与原文观点“人类无力改变自然”相反；选项D，原文没有提及人类社会发展与自然变化的关系，只讲人类有无改变自然的能力。第26题：参考答案：C答案解析：【精析】选C。本题为推断题。问题中的“odd phenomenon”对应原文第一段的“the odd spirit of our times”.其后一句具体解释了“odd”的含义，即：瘦是一种美德。选项C是此句的同义转述
45、。原文提到Windsor只是表明她是追求瘦身者的偶像，可排除；选项B的fortune若改为virtue就正确了；选项D,后文提到的religious people的观点是在以前。第27题：参考答案：A答案解析：【精析】选A。本题为细节题。问题中的“the prevailing trend ”对应原文的第二段第二句话中的“fantasies”,其后一句用“consequently”引出“我”所采取的行动：有一段时间在节食减肥，即选项A。选项B“go off the track”在原文中指人们的观点变化，不是指她本人；选项C，原文提到“rich distant relatives”是指变瘦如同变富
46、一样不容易。选项D,原文“designer clothes”是指瘦身的效果。第28题：参考答案：B答案解析：【精析】选B。本题为推断题。原文第三段提到历史上某些宗教认为胖是财富和富贵的象征，并且直到不久前，还有人吃不饱。而第四段说如今人们转而以瘦为美德，可见人们对体重的态度是变化的。选项A中的“religious beliefs”只是一阶段的特点；选项C原文没有提及；选项D，原文提到关于“moral”的观点只是宗教化的看法，不能概括全部变化。第29题：参考答案：B答案解析：精析选B。本题为推断题。文章第三和第四段分析片面追求以瘦为美的社会原因，第五段和第六段从医学角度讲过度追求瘦身的危害，所以
47、选B。选项A和D在原文没有提及，选项C反映的是第三段的内容，不能概括全文。第30题：参考答案：A答案解析：【精析】选A。本题为细节题。作者的建议体现在文章的最后一段的倒数第一句，大意是：她们自认为瘦即是健康，而且由此放松了对总体生活方式的关注，由此反推得出答案为选项A。选项B的“fatal diseases”太具体，不能概括生活方式；选项C原文没有提及；选项D，对时装的人迷与健康关系不紧密，不是生活方式的中心内容。第31题：参考答案：B答案解析：【精析】选B。本题为推断题。第一段说到暴力是人类后天学得的行为后进行了举例，而在例证的总结中，作者说：人类暴力行为总是受社会习俗的制约，后者赋予了前者
48、框架，即选项B为正确答案。选项A原文没有提及；选项C原文未提两者的关系；选项D不合情理。第32题：参考答案：A答案解析：【精析】选A。本题为细节题。由第二段第一句话可知：社会暴力受到了法律体制的控制。选项B太泛，而且不是关注的内容；法律体制代替个人去对暴力行为进行惩罚，并没有说要消除社会对暴力惩罚的观念，所以不选C；选项D在原文没有提及。第33题：参考答案：D答案解析：【精析】选D。本题为句意理解题。原文第二段最后一句说国家主导下的法律体制下，个人不参与对暴力行为的惩罚。选项A和B原文没有提及；选项C与原文相反。第34题：参考答案：A答案解析：【精析】选A。本题为词义理解题。解答词义理解题，必须要理解上下文的含义。由句子结构可归纳出:commitment（承诺、献身），sacrifice(牺牲）与allegiance同属一类用以形容人的品质的词，四个选项中只有loyalty能和它们保持语义色彩一致。选项B、C和D均不合文意。第35题：参考答案：D答案解析：【精
