33、总题数：1，分数：5.00)(1).The talk is mainly about tile method used to assign（分数：1.00）填空项 1:_ （正确答案：housing to students）解析：听力原文6-10W: I need to make sure you understand how to get housing for next year. When you entered as first year students this year, the school assigned you to a dorm and a roommate. But

34、next year as returning students, youll choose both your roommate and your dorm. But whether or not you actually get to live in your first choice depends on what number you or your roommate draws in the lottery system. The system gives priority to the students who have been here the longest. Fourth y

35、ear students get the first block of numbers, third years students get the second block and second years, like youll be, get the third. The lower the number you draw, the sooner you choose. No. 1 gets the first choice, No. 2 gets the second choice, and so on. You can use either your own or your inten

36、ded roommates number to make your room choice. If your roommate for next year has been in the school longer than you have, theyll be in a better block of numbers and so will have a better number than any second year student. But most of you will probably be sharing with other second year students an

37、d so neither of you may have a great number. You may not get into your first or even second choice. Of course, if youve made plans to live off campus, you dont need to enter the lottery at all. Dorm space will be especially tight this year because the dorms on the north campus will be closed for ren

38、ovations. This means that those of you who draw the worst numbers wont be able to get dorm housing at all. In that case the housing office will help you find off campus housing.解析 本题考查主旨大意。我们需要对短文进行整体把握和归纳。在听的时候，首先应当把握题干中的关键词“assign”，集中注意力寻找关键词出现的信息；其次，短文听力的主旨大意往往出现在三个地方；开头、结尾、中间。结合这两点，我们发现，短文开头提到：“

39、I need to make sure you understand how to get housing for next yearWhen you entered as first year student this year，the school assigned you to a dorm and a roommate(我想确保你们清楚明年如何获得住宿。今年，作为新生入校，由学校来为你们分配宿舍和室友)”。由此判断，短文讲述的是给学生分配住宿的方法。(2).The school assigned first year student to a dorm and a（分数：1.00）填空

40、项 1:_ （正确答案：roommate）解析：解析 本题考查细节理解。浏览题干，我们可以判断出，题干中的关键信息在于“assign first year student to a dorm”，因此应该注意出现该类信息的地方。具体原文参看第 6 题，可知“学校为新生分配宿舍和室友”。(3).Who will get the third block of number?（分数：1.00）填空项 1:_ （正确答案：Second year students）解析：解析 本题考查细节理解。原文中提到：“Fourth year students get the first block of numbe

41、rs，third years get the second block and second years get the third”，听到的就是答案，即：“Second year students(二年级学生)”。(4).Students arent expected to enter the housing lottery if they live（分数：1.00）填空项 1:_ （正确答案：off campus）解析：解析 本题考查细节理解。浏览题干，关键词是“if they live”，信息提示词是“not enter the housing lottery”，原文中出现的信息顺序和题

42、干是相反的，即条件在信息提示词前面，而不是后面。原文中提到：“If youve (students) made plans to live off campus，you dont need to enter the lottery at all(如果有学生计划住在校外，就没有必要参加住宿的抓阄抽号)”。(5).Due to renovations, the dorms on North campus will be（分数：1.00）填空项 1:_ （正确答案：closed）解析：解析 本题考查细节理解。原文中出现：“Dorm space will be especially tight thi

43、s year because the dorms on the north campus will be closed for renovations(今年宿舍会特别紧张，因为北校区的宿舍要修缮，需关闭)”。可见原文的信息基本和题干中的信息提示词完全吻合。五、Part C(总题数：0，分数：0.00)六、Questions 11 to 13 a(总题数：1，分数：3.00)A.Immediately.B.The following week.

46、your preliminary outline, which is due two weeks from today.Use the outline style in your textbook and remember it should be no more than two pages long. Be sure to begin with a thesis statement that is with a precise statement of the point you intend to prove and include a conclusion. Have you got all that? Your two-page preliminary outlines are due at the end of this week and the final outlines are due after your conferences. Follow the textbook style and include a thesis statement and conclusion.解析 本题考查细节理解。关于学生见老师的时间，短文中提到：“Next week Ill have
