B.They axe classmates.C.They are friends.D.They are colleagues.

32、解析：听力原文W: I often mistake Tom for Jack. Can you tell them apart?M: No, they look so much alike that they even confused their mother sometimes when they were young.解析 根据对话原文我们知道他们是如此之像，以至于小时候他们的妈妈都不能把他们区分开来，因此，正确选项应当是 A。对话中的短语 tellapart 的意思是“区分”。A.The man is planning a trip to New York.B.The man has

33、not been to New York before. C.The man doesnt like New York.D.The man has been to New York before.解析：听力原文W: Im thinking of going to New York for a visit. Do you think its worth seeing?M: Well, I wish I had been there. 解析 对话中男士说 I wish I had been there。wish 后面跟的是虚拟语气，指的是与现实相反的情况。从中可以判断这个人以前并没有到 New Y

34、ork，因此正确答案是 B。A.The size of the room.B.Long working hours.C.The hot weather. D.The fan in the room.解析：听力原文M: Its so hot today. I simply cant work. I wish there were a fan in this room.W: So do I. Ill fall asleep if I stay here any longer. 解析 男士说 Its so hot today。我们就可以基本推断出这两个人在抱怨炎热的天气，女士所说的话更加证实了我们的

35、推断是正确的，因此选项 C 是正确答案。A.The man has changed his destination.B.The man is returning his ticket.C.The man is flying to London tomorrow morning.D.The man cant manage to go to London as planned. 解析：听力原文M: Excuse me, I have a ticket for the 6 oclock flight to London. But Im afraid I cant make it. Is there

36、a seat available for tomorrow morning?W: Let me see. Im sorry. All the morning flights have been booked up. The earliest we can get for you is the 2 oclock flight in the afternoon. 解析 男士说订了六点钟到 London 的机票，但他说了一句 But I am afraid I cant make it 。从这句话中，我们知道他的 London 之行要改变时间了，因此答案是 D。注意对话中的短语 book up，意思

37、是“预订完了”。A.It is difficult to identify.B.It has been misplaced. C.It is missing.D.It has been borrowed by someone.解析：听力原文W: Jack, I cant find Volume Ten. Could you check for me who borrowed it?M: Here it is, on the upper shell, next to Volume Two. 解析 女士说她找不到书了，从男士回答来看，并不是有人借走了，而是放在了 Volume Two 的旁边，是放

38、错了位置。注意对话中的关键词 volume，意思是“卷、册”。What is the man doing?（分数：5.00）A.Looking for a timetable.B.Buying some furniture.C.Reserving a table. D.Window shopping.解析：听力原文M: Have you a table for four?W: Certainly, sir. A comer table. 解析 男士说 Have you at able for four?从这句话中我们可以猜测到他可能是在订餐桌。注意对话中的关键词 corner table，意思

39、是“靠近角落的餐桌”，从这个关键词中，我们也能推断出这段对话发生在餐馆里面，男士正在订餐桌。因此正确答案是选项 C。A.Cold and windy. B.Snow will be replaced by strong winds.C.It will get better.D.Rainy and cold.解析：听力原文W: Its been very cold for the past two days.M: We havent seen the worst of it yet. More snow is forecasted for next week accompanied by str

40、ong winds. 解析 女士说“最近两天非常冷”，男士说“以后几天还有雪和风”。因此正确选项应当是 A。注意对话里面与天气预报有关的关键词 forecast，意思是“预报”；accompany 的意思是“伴随”，。A.It is no longer available, B.It has been reprinted four times.C.The store doesnt have it now, but will have it soon.D.The information in the book is out of date.解析：听力原文W: Id like to buy a c

41、opy of Professor Franklins book on sea shells.M: Im sorry, Madam. That book has been out of print for some time now. 解析 听懂这句话的关键是弄清楚里面的关键词语 out of print，意思是“不印刷”，因此正确答案应当是选项 A。A.Calvin didnt like the color.B.Someone else painted the house. C.There was no ladder in the house.D.Calvin painted the hous

42、e himself.解析：听力原文M: Did Calvin paint the whole house himself?W: He had it painted, because he doesnt like climbing ladders. 解析 男士提出问题“是否是 Calvin 自己刷的房子呢?”，女士对这个问题做了回答 He had it painted。原来是让别人刷的。正确理解里面的词组 have something done 的用法，意思是“让某人做某事”的意思，因此正确选项应当是 B。A.In a cotton field.B.At a railway station.C.

43、On a farm.D.On a train. 解析：听力原文W: Look at that big field of cotton. And theres a farm with some beautiful buildings.M: You really get to know the country when you go by train, dont you?解析 从第一句话中我们听到了 big field of cotton，但这一句话并没有告诉我们是在什么地方看到的，第二句话作了解释是 when you go by a train，原来是你坐火车的时候才能领略到这么美的风光，因此正

44、确选项应当是 D。三、Part B(总题数：0，分数：0.00)四、Questions 11 13 ar(总题数：1，分数：3.00)A.They are planning a picnic for the department.B.They are having a picnic organized by the department. C.They are discussing how to escape from the sun.D.They are drinking and talking about the weather.解析：听力原文11-13W: Oh, look at the

45、 sky, Michelle! Its starting to get cloudy.M: I see it. I hope it doesnt rain. I thought it was going to be a fine day today.W: Thats certainly what the department was hoping for when they chose today as the date for the annual picnic.M: You cant have a picnic without good weather. You need sunshine

46、 for all the eating and games and entertainment.W: Yeah, sunshine but not too much! Do you remember last year?M: I sure do. It was so hot that all we did was look for shade, look for waysto escape from the sun.W: And no one wanted to participate in any of the planned activities. All we wanted was co

47、ld drinks. And then we dozed off.M: If there had just been the tiniest breeze to cool us off.W: But there wasnt. Just that burning sun, without a cloud in the sky, and the temperature just seemed to climb higher and higher.M: Well, we dont have that problem this year, apparently. Roben, did you hear

48、 the weather forecast? It is supposed to rain?W: I dont know. I didnt catch the weather report. But maybe if it rains, it will only be a short shower which cools things off a little. That might not be bad.解析 对话中男士说 You cant have a picnic without a good weather我们知道他们是在办一次野餐，后文中提到了他们去年野餐时的情况，因此我们可以判定选项 B 是正确答案。A.Michelle likes having a picnic on a summer day. B.Rose is expecting a gentle breeze to cool herself off.C.They havent had much suns
