24、d studio原词重现,然后答案对应句 “They focus on seasonal products, and as well as teaching you how to cook them, they also show you how to choose them ”出现,其中所有定位词和提示词均为原词重现,难度不大,只是审题时要注意 “A and B”的并列结构,有时 A与 B之间可能会出现顺序调整,比如此题,原文先说的题干提示词 cook,再说的答案 choose。 2 【正确答案】 private 【试题解析】 先抓到逻辑过渡词 “How big are the classe
25、s?”引出下一个问题。接着听到含定位词 small classes的信息 “but theyll be quite small”,然后出现了答案对应信息 “could I get a private lesson there?” , “let me check , yes, they do offer those ”,其中定位词 offer原词重现,但是答案是由女士设问导出 ,最终工作人员肯定 offer those,如果不提前记下 private lesson,很可能忽略遗忘答案。 3 【正确答案】 20 / twenty percent 【试题解析】 定位词 clients原词重现后, “
26、where they offer a discount of 20 percent”直接导出答案,因此答案为 20 percent或其同义表达 20。 4 【正确答案】 healthy 【试题解析】 定位词 Bonds Cookery School之后的 “They concentrate on teaching you to prepare healthy food ”直接带出答案,因此答案为 healthy。 5 【正确答案】 bones 【试题解析】 在定位词 recipes之后紧接着出现了答案对应信息 “that will help build up your bones and ma
27、ke them stronger”,其中 build up、 stronger与题干strengthen为同义替换,因此答案为 bones。 6 【正确答案】 lecture 【试题 解析】 定位词 Thursday之后的 “every Thursday evening they have a lecture at the school Its free ”直接带出答案,因此答案为 lecture。 7 【正确答案】 Arretsa 【试题解析】 本题定位词和答案一起出现,具体对应信息为 “its called The Arretsa Centre”,因此答案为 Arretsa。本题为人名、地
28、名类拼写题,属于送分题,直接拼读出答案。 8 【正确答案】 vegetarian 【试题解析】 拼写题结束后,紧接着出现了答案对应信息 “They do a bit of meat and fish cookery but they mostly specialise in vegetarian dishes ”,其中 dishes与定位词 food 为同义替换,意为 “菜或食物 ”, mostly与题干提示词 mainly为同义替换,意为 “主要地 ” ,因此答案为 vegetarian。 9 【正确答案】 market 【试题解析】 我们首先听到女士问 “I think I might h
29、ave seen that school today Is it just by the market?”,紧接着听到男士回答 “Thats right ”,由此可得知 the school is just by the market,其中 by the market与题干 near the market为同义替换,意为 “在市场附近 ”,因此答案为 market。 10 【正确答案】 knife 【试题解析】 本题定位词、提示词和答案一起出现,具体对应信息为 “they also offer a special two-hour course in how to use a knife ”,
30、其中 offer对应题干中的 available, how to use对应题干中的 skills with,因此答案为 knife。 10 【听力原文】 Good evening everyone. My names Phil Sutton, and Im chairman of the Highways Committee. Weve called this meeting to inform members of the public about the new regulations for traffic and parking were proposing for Granford
31、. Ill start by summarising these changes before we open the meeting to questions. So, why do we need to make these changes to traffic systems in Granford? Well, were very aware that traffic is becoming an increasing problem. Its been especially noticeable with the increase in heavy traffic while the
32、yve been building the new hospital. But its the overall rise Q11 in the volume of traffic of all kinds thats concerning us. To date theres not been any increase in traffic accidents, but thats not something we want to see happen, obviously. We recently carried out a survey of local residents, and th
33、eir responses were interesting. People were very concerned about the lack of visibility on some roads due to cars parked Q12 along the sides of the roads. Wed expected complaints about the congestion near the school when parents are dropping off their children or picking them up, but this wasnt top
34、of the list, and nor were noise and fumes from trucks and lorries, though they were mentioned by some people. We think these new traffic regulations would make a lot of difference. But we still have a long way to go. Weve managed to keep our proposals within budget, just, so they can be covered by t
35、he Council. But, of course, its no good introducing new regulations if we dont have a way Q13 of making sure that everyone obeys them, and thats an area were still working on with the help of representatives from the police force. OK, so this slide shows a map of the central area of Granford, with t
36、he High Street in the middle and School Road on the right. Now, we already have a set of traffic lights in the High Q14 Street at the junction with Station Road, but were planning to have another set at the other end, at the School Road junction, to regulate the flow of traffic along the High Street
37、. Weve decided we definitely need a pedestrian crossing. We considered putting this on School Road, just outside the school, but in the end we decided that could lead to a lot of traffic congestion so we decided to locate it on the High Street, crossing the road in front of Q15 the supermarket. That
38、s a very busy area, so it should help things there. Were proposing some changes to parking. At present, parking isnt allowed on the High Q16 Street outside the library, but were going to change that, and allow parking there, but not at the other end of the High Street near School Road. Therell be a
39、new No Parking sign on School Road, just by the entrance to the school, Q17 forbidding parking for 25 metres. This should improve visibility for drivers and pedestrians, especially on the bend just to the north of the school. As far as disabled drivers are concerned, at present they have parking out
40、side the supermarket, but lorries also use those spaces, so weve got two new disabled parking Q18 spaces on the side road up towards the bank. Its not ideal, but probably better than the present arrangement. We also plan to widen the pavement on School Road. We think we can manage to get an Q19 extr
41、a half-metre on the bend just before vou get to the school, on the same side of the road. Finally, weve introduced new restrictions on loading and unloading for the supermarket, so Q20 lorries will only be allowed to stop there before 8 am. Thats the supermarket on School Road - we kept to the exist
42、ing arrangements with the High Street supermarket. OK. So thats about it. Now, would anyone . 11 【正确答案】 B 【试题解析】 首先我们听到了定位词 changes、 traffic systems,然后听到了“especially noticeable with the increase in heavy traffic” ,提示我们答案与 B选项有关。接着听到 “its the overall rise in the volume of traffic of all kinds thats c
43、oncerning us ”,其中 rise对应 B选项中的 increase; volume of traffic对应 amount of traffic,意为 “交通流量 ”,因此答案为 B。这里需要注意的是原文中of all kinds对应 C选项中的 types of,但是所修饰的主题不一样,一个修饰volume of traffic,一个修饰 vehicle,因此 C选项不正确。此外,文中提及“theres not been any increase in traffic accidents” 可以排除 A选项。 12 【正确答案】 C 【试题解析】 先是出现了定位词 survey、
44、 local residents,然后出现了答案对应信息 “People were very concerned about the lack of visibility on some roads due to cars parked along the sides of the road ”,其中 very concerned对应题干particularly complained,意为 “非常担忧 ”; lack of visibility due to cars parked along the sides of the roads(由于汽车沿路停靠导致视线遮挡 )为 C选项inconv
45、enience from parked cars(随意停车导致的不便 )的同义替换。此处需要注意,同义替换的概念不仅指同义词转换,也可指同方向性转换,此处文中只是将C选项的概念具象化了,方向还是一致的,因此答案为 C。此外,原文提到了“complaints aboutparents are dropping off their children or picking them up ,but this wasnt top of the list (家长 接送小孩造成的问题,不是我们第一担忧的点。 )”可以排除 A选项; “nor were noise and fumes from trucks
46、 and lorries( 我们最担忧的点也不是卡车噪声和尾气 )”排除 B选项。 13 【正确答案】 B 【试题解析】 文中先出现了 “keep our proposals within budget(把我们的方案控制在预算范围内 )”,排除 A;紧接着出现 “its no good introducing new regulations if we dont have a way of making sure that everyone obeys them”,对应 B选项,因此答案为 B;最后出现 “were still working on with the help of repre
47、sentatives from the police force(我们仍在警方代表的帮助下 )”,排除 C。 14 【正确答案】 E 【试题解析】 先听到 “we already have a set of traffic lights”,通过 already可以得知后面出现的 “in the High Street at the junction with Station Road”是干扰,因为我们的目标是现在的改造,因此排除 A;而后听到的 “were planning to have”为该题的信号词,后面的 “another set at the other end, at the Sc
48、hool Road Junction(在与 School Road交叉的另外一个尽头 )”可以判断答案为 E。 15 【正确答案】 D 【试题解析】 在定位词 Pedestrian crossing出现之后 我们先听到 “We considered putting this on School Road, just outside the school, but in the end( 我们考虑过把人行横道放在 School Road上,正对着学校,但是最后 )” ,可以排除 G;随后听到 “decided to”可以锁定答案 “locate it on the High Street, cr
49、ossing the road in front of the supermarket(把它安置在 High Street上,横跨在超市的 前方 ),因此答案为 D。 16 【正确答案】 B 【试题解析】 在听到 “changes to parking”时开始定位答案,接着听到了 “At present, parking isnt allowed on the High Street outside the library(目前,图书馆外的 High Street禁止停车 )”,锁定 B选项,随后马上听到转折 “but were going to change that, and allow parking there(但是我们将要改变政策,允许在那 儿停车 )”,与 B选项所在位置一致,因此答案为 B。 17 【正确答案】 G 【试题解析】 在定位词 NewNo Parkin
