15、1 and 2 will be based on the following news item. （分数：8.00）A.10.B.4. C.1.D.50.解析：听力原文 A new study on climate change says a disastrous 4-degree rise in global temperature is increasingly likely to occur within many people“s lifetimes. The studies have been adopted by one of the world“s leading resear

16、ch bodies monitoring climate change, the Hadley Centre in Britain. This latest prediction from the Hadley Centre brings the prospect of destructive change much closer. He challenges the assumption that severe warming is a threat only for future generations. A four degree average temperature rise by

17、the 2050s would bring increases of 10 degrees or more in some areas such as the Arctic and Africa. It could mean a sharp decline in rainfall in some areas, flooding in others and disappearance of about half of all the world“s animal and plant species. How many temperatures are expected to rise globa

18、lly by the 2050s? 解析 新闻中有两处提到，到了 21 世纪 50 年代，全球气温平均来说会上升 4 度，故正确答案是 B 项。注意上升 10 度也在新闻中提到，但只是发生在北极和非洲(Arctic and Africa)。A.Huge storm.B.Earthquake.C.Snow slide.D.Disappearance of living species. 解析：听力原文 What is the result of the temperature rise by the 2050s? 解析 新闻中指出，气候的不断变暖会使一些地区的降雨量急速下降，而有些地方却洪水泛滥

19、，世界上一半的动植物灭绝。故 D 项“生物灭绝”正确。A 项“暴风雨”、B 项“地震”和 C 项的“雪崩”均未在新闻中提到。Questions 3 and 4 will be based on the following news item. （分数：8.00）A.Art.B.Harmony. C.Prosperity.D.Ambition.解析：听力原文 As many as a million Cubans are said to have attended the free concert in Havana“s revolution square that featured some

20、of the Latin America“s most popular musicians. Many in the crowd came dress in white to symbolize peace. The 5-hour event included the bands from seven countries, it was organized by the Miami base Colombian rock star Wallace. “This concert is just about peace, is just about possibility to get toget

21、her, you know, through music, through art. And this particular case of Cuba have isolated from the rest of community for many years, just because of political belief. So we just want to come here and saying well, we are here, we are the same. So that is the reason why we are here to promote peace.“

22、What is the theme of the concert? 解析 新闻中指出，这个音乐会是关于和平(peace)，通过音乐和艺术将人们聚集在一起。他们之所以来是为了宣扬和平。因此这一音乐会的主题是和平、和谐相处，B 项 Harmony 是 peace 的同义改写。A 项“艺术”、C 项“繁荣”和 D 项“理想”都不是新闻的关注点。A.The bands participated in the concert for economic benefits.B.All attendees were in red in the event.C.The concert conducted by

23、a famous star would last 5 hours. D.The concert was held just for art communication.解析：听力原文 What can we learn about the concert? 解析 新闻中指出，由哥伦比亚摇滚巨星 Wallace 组织的演唱会邀请了来自七个国家的乐队表演；这一场演唱会持续了五个小时。C 项与新闻内容相符。新闻中没有提及乐队参加表演是不是为了经济利益，排除 A 项。新闻说的是许多人都穿着白色衣服(dress in white)，B 项说成了红色衣服(in red)。新闻后面引用了巨星 Wallace

24、 的发言，说明此次音乐会是为了和平而办，D 项“只是为了艺术交流”错误。Questions 5 to 7 will be based on the following news item. （分数：12.00）A.It drops by half. B.It increases greatly.C.It keeps stable.D.It booms in global scale.解析：听力原文 Crude off is measured in barrels. Last summer, its global price was $100 per barrel. Yesterday, it

25、was trading at less than half of that, at about $46.50 a barrel. Why does that matter? Well, the price of crude affects everything from gas prices to car prices, to stock prices. And it determines the number of jobs in the large global oil industry. The current surplus of oil gives us a clear lesson

26、 in the economic principle of supply and demand. When it comes to oil, it used to be all about the Middle East. Today, the Persian Gulf still has plenty of crude, but the boom is global. We produced a surplus of 2 million to 3 million barrels per day. Oil buried deep beneath the earth surface in roc

27、k can now be accessed with new technologies like fracking and horizontal drilling. Two years ago, U.S. oil production saw its biggest jump in more than 100 years, and it“s not the only country to gain a large flood of crude. Production in Canada and Brazil has also hit record levels. At the same tim

28、e, there are more alternatives to oil, like natural gas and renewables. When oil supply exceeds demand, prices fall. What happened to oil price? 解析 新闻开头提到去年夏季原油价格是 100 美金每桶，而现在是 46.5 美金每桶，价格降低了一半(trading at less than half)，故选 A 项。D 项为强干扰项，但新闻中说 the boom 是指“原油产量激增”，而非“石油价格激增”，因此排除 D。A.The world econo

29、my is booming.B.There was more demand than supply.C.There was more supply than demand. D.Oil production was reduced.解析：听力原文 What caused the change of oil price? 解析 新闻中提到最近原油市场供过于求，清楚地体现了经济学的供求原理，即因为原油产量大于需求量(surplus of oil)，导致油价下降，故选 C 项。A 项“世界经济发展”未在新闻中提及。B 项“需求大于供给”与新闻中信息相反。D 项“原油产量减少”与新闻中原油产量增加不吻

30、合。A.Oil has been found in more countries.B.Car industry heavily relies on oil.C.More alternatives to oil have emerged.D.New technologies helped people to obtain more oil. 解析：听力原文 Why does oil production increase dramatically? 解析 本题问原油产量增加的原因，新闻中提到新科技使得岩石下面的石油可以被开采(can now be accessed with new techno

31、logies)，因此选 D 项。A 项“原油在更多国家被发现”偷换了概念，新闻只是提到有几个国家的原油开采量大幅增加了，这些国家本身就已发现有原油。B 项“汽车工业严重依赖石油”，新闻中确实提到石油会影响汽车价格，但这并不是原油产量提高的原因。C 项“石油替代燃料出现”在新闻中提到，这是石油价格下跌的原因之一，而不是原油产量提高的原因。三、Section B(总题数：0，分数：0.00)四、Conversation One(总题数：1，分数：16.00)Questions 8 to 11 are based on the conversation you have just heard. （分

32、数：16.00）A.They are discussing where to put the furniture.B.They are complaining about running out of hot water.C.They are planning to rent one of the rooms.D.They are talking about the condition of an apartment. 解析：听力原文 M: Good afternoon, ma“am. I“m Mr. Smith. I called you a little while ago about t

33、he apartment for rent. W: Oh, right, Mr. Smith. Come in. Let me show you the place. The two rooms are upstairs. Come with me. M: You have a very nice house. W: Thanks. Here we are. Both are simply furnished with a bed, a desk and a cupboard. M: This is not bad. How“s the hot water? That“s very impor

34、tant. I“m asking because where I live now keeps running out of hot water. I can“t tell you how many cold showers I“ve had to take. In fact, I had to take one just this morning, I can“t stand taking cold showers any more. W: Don“t worry. You can shower to your heart“s content in here. M: How much is

35、the rent? W: Well, how about $250 a month for each room? That includes water, electricity and gas. M: Well, that sounds quite reasonable. Did you say quite a few people are waiting for these two rooms? W: Right. But you have no children. I“d like to put you up higher on the list. M: Well, thank you

36、very much. I“ll consult with my wife and contact you as soon as we make up our minds. It“s really very nice talking with you. W: Thank you. I“m glad you like the rooms. What are the two speakers talking about? 解析 主旨题。整个对话内容是围绕租房看房展开的，只有 D“讨论公寓的状况”全面地概括了对话内容，故为答案。A“讨论家具的摆放”、B“抱怨热水供应不足”和 C“打算租其中一间房”虽都

37、包含对话提到的某些细节，但均不足以概括对话主旨，故均排除。A.Whether the rent is too high.B.Whether the rent covers water, electricity and gas.C.Whether there is a good supply of hot water. D.Whether there are too many people expecting to rent these rooms.解析：听力原文 Which of the following does the man pay more attention to? 解析 细节题。

38、男士非常关注热水问题，因为他现在住的地方热水供应不足，他经常不得不洗冷水澡。对他来说有没有热水非常重要(very important)，故 C 为答案。男士说租金听起来非常合理，故 A 错；B、D 的内容对话中只是略有提及而已。A.$250.B.$500. C.$750.D.$1000.解析：听力原文 How much will the man pay each month for the two rooms? 解析 推算题。男士询问租金多少时，女士的回答是每间每月$250，那么两间房每月则应是$500，即 B为答案。凡是和数字相关的题目，应注意记下它们对应的准确意义。此外，要有意识训练短时记

39、忆，以免遗漏前后呼应的细节。A.There scarcely are people wanting these rooms.B.They have a very nice talking.C.The man is child-free. D.The man offers the most reasonable rent.解析：听力原文 Why would the woman like to rent these two rooms to the man? 解析 细节题。当男士提到女士曾说有很多人想租这两间房时，女士回答说的确如此，紧接着她又说因为男士没有孩子，所以她会优先考虑租给他，故 C 正

40、确。put sb. on the list 表示“将某人列入考虑名单”，越靠前的名字当然就越是优先考虑的对象。五、Conversation Two(总题数：1，分数：16.00)Questions 12 to 15 are based on the conversation you have just heard. （分数：16.00）A.He wrote on a seaside resort.B.He travelled with his family. C.He stayed at home to relax.D.He went shopping with the woman.解析：听力

41、原文 W: Where did you go on May Day? I called you several times. M: Really? I have my holiday on a seaside resort. W: Wow, that“s terrific. Did you travel alone? M: No, my wife and son also traveled with me. Where did you go then? W: I went nowhere. I spent the whole holiday writing. I have to finish

42、it before Mother“s Day. But I do plan to travel next month, that“s why I“m calling you. Could you give me some advice? M: Oh, how about the seaside? That“s a really good place for a holiday. W: Sounds good. M: There are two hotels I can recommend while you are on your trip. They are both brand new a

43、nd are usually fully booked. So you“d better call them in advance. W: I see.so what are they like? M: Well, one is called the Hotel Bay View. It“s on the coast. So, it is very quiet and peaceful without noise or pollution. And the rooms are of standard size and they all have a nice little balcony, w

44、here you can overlook the ocean. W: That“s great! I need to have a tranquil period to relax. How about the other? M: The other is a city center hotel. Of course, there are no views of the sea and it tends to be a bit noisy and busy. But it is very convenient for you to go anywhere from the hotel. W:

45、 Er, it“s useless for me. I don“t want to go shopping or do anything like that. What about the price? M: Well, the Central Hotel is quite a bit more expensive. W: I know, thanks for your suggestion. What did the man do on May Day? 解析 细节题。女士问男士五一劳动节去了哪里，男士说去了海边的一个旅游胜地度假，接着女士追问他是不是一个人去的，他回答说夫人和儿子也一起去了

46、，可见男士在五一假期跟家人一起去度假了，B 正确。A、C 和 D 分别利用听力原词 seaside resort，relax 和 shopping 进行随意拼凑，语义与对话内容相悖，均不正确。A.She plans to have the man make a tour arrangement for her.B.She hopes that he could give her some advice on writing.C.She wants to get some suggestions about traveling. D.She complains to him about her

47、boring holiday.解析：听力原文 Why does the woman call the man? 解析 由选项 she plans/hopes/wants/complains.可知，本题问“她”的打算、目的。如果能听到女士说的“但我计划下个月去旅行，那就是我打电话给你的原因。你能给我些建议吗?”就能迅速地选出正确答案 C。A、D 两项对话中并未提及；女士要征求意见，但与写作无关，B 项也错误。A.Bring enough cash.B.Go with her mother.C.Resort to the man.D.Reserve a room. 解析：听力原文 What sho

48、uld the woman do if she is to stay where the man recommends? 解析 细节题。只要抓听到 fully booked“订满”及 you“d better call them in advance“你最好提前打电话”，就可以推断出女士应该要提前预订房间。D 项的 reserve 对应对话中的 book，答案为 D。A.A busy city center convenient for shopping.B.A peaceful seashore with beautiful views. C.A huge bay with a little

49、 balcony.D.A room of standard size though noisy.解析：听力原文 Which of the following environments will the woman probably choose? 解析 推断题。四个选项均是名词词组，从其中的共现词汇中大体可以推断，本题讨论旅店房间的周围环境。男士向女士推荐了两个旅馆，一个靠海，舒适、安静且便宜；一个位于市中心，方便、较贵且嘈杂。女士希望有个宁静的假期，不打算逛街购物，明确表示喜欢前者。所以选 B 而排除 A。六、Section C(总题数：0，分数：0.00)七、Passage One(总题数：1，分数：12.00)Questions 16 to 18 are based on the passage you have just heard. （分数：12.00）A.Crowded houses.B.Polluted water from factories.C.High crime rate.D.Continual noise. 解析：听力原文 In the eyes of many people, city life is
