2、alse. There are ten questions in this part of the test, two points for each question.第1题：参考答案：B答案解析：听力原文For most of their lives, the two men had shared confidences, swapped advice and sup ported each others ambitions. The dozens of letters that Justice Blackmun saved document a relationship of somet

3、imes startling intimacy. 事实细节的判断。 该题干中有三处主要细节需要与原文对应后判断是否正确，即：very intimate, reliable friends和throughout their lives。原文中startling intimacy可与very intimate对应，原文中.had shared confidences, swapped advice and supported each others ambition可与reliable friends对应，而原文中most of their lives和题干中的throughout their l

4、ives并不吻合，因此该题的说法是错误的。 解题关键 将选项信息与原文相关信息对照，可得出正确答案。第2题：参考答案：A答案解析：听力原文Tens of thousands of youngsters from low-income families who were eligible for a childrens health insurance program in Florida, instead of being allowed into the program, were diverted by state officials to a long waiting list. 词义理

5、解。 本题的关键是理解文中词组be eligible for的含义。该词组意为“适宜被选中的，有恰当资格的”，因此原文Tens of thousands of youngsters from low-income families who were eligible for a childrens health insurance program in Florida意为“那些有资格享受佛罗里达州儿童健康保险项目的低收入家庭中的年轻人”与题干含义“佛罗里达州儿童健康保险项目旨在帮助低收人家庭中的孩子”相吻合，因此该题的说法是正确的。 解题关键 正确理解短语be eligible for(对于某

6、事享有资格)。第3题：参考答案：B答案解析：听力原文Although Iraq ultimately failed to develop and produce long-range ballistic missiles and its permitted short-range missile projects were fraught with problems, its missile program is seen by US decision makers as the main prohibited-weapon effort that Iraq continued right u

7、p until the war. 因果关系判断。 原文中谈到伊拉克导弹问题时，认为“.its missile program is seen by US decision makers as the main prohibited-weapon effort that Iraq continued right up until the war.”即“美国决策者认为伊拉克导弹项目是其禁武努力的主要目标，但伊拉克却将该项目一直进行到战争开始。”这与题干中的因果关系不相符，因此该题的说法是错误的。 解题关键 正确找寻并理解关键句子是解题的关键。第4题：参考答案：A答案解析：听力原文Mr. Bush,

8、 the son of a president and the grandson of a senator, castigated Mr. Kerry as a Washington insider who has been in Congress so long that he has taken both sides on just about every issue. 特定信息的找寻和判断。 根据题干中的关键词Mr. Kerry，排除原文有关Mr. Bush内容的干扰，重点理解原文后半句内容“Mr. Kerry.has taken both sides on just about eve

9、ry issue.”即“Mr. Kerry在每件事情上都颇受两方的好评。”这与题干中has never let anybody down即“不让任何人失望”的说法相吻合，因此该题的说法是正确的。 解题关键 同义词替换。原文中take both sides与选项中never let anybody down意思相同。第5题：参考答案：B答案解析：听力原文If Darwinian theory works so well, why challenge it? There are several reasons to do so. Although Darwinian theory explains

10、 many of the facts of evolution better than any other theory, it does not necessarily explain the whole process. Also, some of the results of evolution do not match what Darwinian theory would predict. 事实细节的判断。 题干中所提供的事实细节在程度和精确度上与原文不相符。如题干中说到“达尔文理论未对进化过程作出解释”，而原文的说法则是“Although Darwinian theory expl

11、ains many of the facts of evolution., it does not necessarily explain the whole process.”即“虽然达尔文理论对进化的许多事实进行了解释，但它并未对进化过程进行解释。”又如题干中说到“达尔文理论未对进化的结果作出正确的预测”，而原文则是“some of the results of evolution do not match what Darwinian theory would predict”即“一些进化结果与达尔文理论的预测并不相符”。由此可见，该题的说法是错误的。 解题关键 将原文和选项中表程度的词

12、相对比，可发现不同之处。第6题：参考答案：A答案解析：听力原文Scarce jobs, fewer promotions, soaring costs for shelter and other necessitiesall are causing the nations young to revamp their dreams for the good life. Many of the nations young people are convinced that, despite the economys steady climb out of recession, they will

13、get only a tiny share of the spreading prosperity or nothing at all. 根据上下文线索猜测词义。 该题的关键是根据原文上下文线索猜测出单词“revamp”的含义。原文中“Scarce jobs, fewer promotions, soaring costs for shelter and other necessities”，即“匮乏的工作机会，越来越少的升迁机会，飞涨的物价”，由此可推测这些因素应该改变(revamp)年轻人对美好生活所怀有的梦想，这与题干的说法相吻合，因此该题的说法是正确的。 解题关键 1) 将原文中关键词

14、进行归纳总结，与选项对照，可得出正确答案；2) 理解选项中关键词含义，如理解revamp的含义。第7题：参考答案：A答案解析：听力原文Consider three major recent California earthquakes: Loma Prieta in 1989, with a 6.9 magnitude, Northridge in 1994, with a 6.7 magnitude, and San Simeon/Paso Robles on December 22, 2003, with a 6.5 magnitude. These relatively strong e

15、arthquakes in California resulted in a total of 125 deaths, while this weeks Iranian quake, with a somewhat lesser magnitude, claimed 40,000 lives. 隐含事实的推测。 将原文中有关加利福尼亚和伊朗地震的数字信息作比较，可知隐含的事实是：伊朗的地震远没有加利福尼亚的厉害，但造成的人员伤亡损失却远远超过后者。由此可推测作者认为，伊朗地震造成如此惨重的人员伤亡本可避免。这与题干的说法相吻合，因此该题的说法是正确的。 解题关键 正确识别并判断数字信息。第8题

16、：参考答案：B答案解析：听力原文Gaddafi, born in 1942, made headlines six years ago when he agreed to surrender the two Libyan suspects in the 1988 bombing of an American jumbo jet over-Lockerbie in southern Scotland in which 270 people died. 特定信息的找寻和判断。 本题要求通过特定的数字信息，寻找具体事实。原文提到“Gaddafi.made headlines six years ag

17、o”，但并未提那就是1988年，原文中关于1988年的说法则是“.the two Libyan suspects in the 1988 bombing of an American jumbo jet.”，由此可知，两个利比亚人涉嫌于1988年炸毁美国一架珍宝喷气客机，这与题干中“Gaddafi made headlines in 1998.”的说法不符，因此该题的说法是错误的。 解题关键 正确识别数字信息。第9题：参考答案：B答案解析：听力原文Are organically grown foods the best food choices? The advantages claimed

18、for such foods over conventionally grown and marketed food products are now being debated. Advocates of organic foods frequently proclaim that such products are safer and more nutritious than others. 观点态度的判断。 本题要求判断说话者对organic food的观点态度。由原文“The advantages claimed for such foods.are being debated.”可判

19、断作者并非趋向支持该种食品的优势，或接受该种食品。由此可见，题干中该种食品为很多的营养学家所接受的说法是没有根据的，因此该题的说法是错误的。 解题关键 善于根据原文中的信息判断说话者的观点。第10题：参考答案：A答案解析：听力原文The circumstances under which the president left office set a dangerous precedent for democratically elected governments everywhere, as it promotes the unconstitutional removal of duly

20、elected persons from office. 因果关系判断。 原文因果关系中原因部分是句子的前半部分，即主句部分：这种情况下的总统离任给全世界任何民主选举的政府形成危险的先例；结果部分是原句后半部as引导的从句部分，即：这种离任促动了正式选举出的人不合法律地离职。这与题干的说法相吻合，因此该题的说法是正确的。 解题关键 掌握通过信号词判断上下文意义的逻辑结构，如as表示前后部分-为因果关系。Part Listen to the following short passages and then choose one of the answers that best fits the

21、 meaning of each passage by blackening the corresponding circle. There are ten passages in this part of the test, with one question each, which carries two points.第11题：参考答案：D答案解析：听力原文 Mr. Wen said government would aim for a growth rate of 7 percent this year, considerably slower than the 9.1 percent

22、 pace recorded for 2003. He said the government would re duce the issuance of state bonds intended to finance construction by about $3.6 billion, or 25 percent, and would also restrain lending and investment that has led to redundant construction in some industries and regions. 特定信息的找寻和判断。 本题要求识别并判断

23、Mr. Wen所说的政府工作目标的各细节信息。根据题干中的关键词，找寻原段落中相关部分将a与第一句对照；b与第二句 would also restrain lending and investment对照；c和d与第二句government would reduce the issuance of state bonds intended to finance construction by about $3.6 billion, or 25 percent对照，可发现只有d的说法与原文相符，因此，选项d是正确的。 解题关键 掌握同义词或近义词的替换。如原文中slower与选项a中lower替

24、换；原文中restrain与选项c中cut替换；原文中reduce和选项d中less替换。第12题：参考答案：A答案解析：听力原文 In New York City, people complained for years about having to recycle their trash. Then they complained when Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg canceled most recycling to save the city money. And they positively howled in confusion when he re

25、stored some recycling but cut collections to every other week. 隐含事实的判断。 从原文中纽约人对回收垃圾的态度可知，他们对回收垃圾持抱怨的态度；对市长取消大部分回收项目持抱怨态度；对他恢复对某些垃圾的回收且回收次数改为隔周一次的态度有褒有贬众说纷纭。由此可推测出无论怎么做，都不可能使所有纽约人满意。因此，选项a的说法是正确的。 解题关键 掌握某些表态度的关键词有助于得出正确答案，如根据原文 complained和howled in confusion推断出正确答案。第13题：参考答案：A答案解析：听力原文 Globalizatio

26、n and the liberalization that produced it have generated a sustained period of economic expansion, together with the most rapid reconfiguration of international economic geography ever. Unprecedented wealth and standards of living exist in the industrialized world. Elsewhere, some countries that str

27、uggled with poverty a mere generation ago are now economic poles in their own right. Over the course of the next generation, a majority of the worlds most rapidly growing economies will be located in what is now the developing world. 事实细节的找寻。 根据题干中的关键词与原段落中的各项事实细节相对照，发现只有a中 the gap between the devel

28、oped and the developing countries在原文中没有提到。因此，只有选项a的内容不是globalization and liberalization所带来的结果。 解题关键 掌握选项中相关信息在原文中的正确定位。第14题：参考答案：B答案解析：听力原文 Since the wedding march for gays and lesbians began in San Francisco three weeks ago, officials in California, New Mexico and Oregon have allowed same-sex marri

29、ages, Massachusetts has signaled its approval. President Bush has called for a constitutional amendment to ban gay marriage. Lawmakers conservative, and gay-rights groups have all joined a debate that has roiled the nation. 对信息的推断。 原文中提到California, New Mexico和Oregon允许同性婚姻，而“Massachusetts has signale

30、d its approval”，即“Massachusetts发出同意的信号”，由此可推测，虽然Massachusetts不反对同性婚姻，但还没在法律上正式承认。因此，选项b的说法是正确的。 解题关键 掌握主要短语的深层含义，如signaled its approval表示对某事并不反对，但尚未公开承认的状况。第15题：参考答案：D答案解析：听力原文 The theory once advanced in the nineteenth centurythat the productivity of the land can be infinitely increased by the appl

31、ication of capital, labor, and scienceis wrong. History has shown that once the natural life-support systems of a civilization have been sufficiently damaged, they cannot usually be repaired. The ancient deforestation and overgrazing of the Mediterranean region is a famous example. Today, a global c

32、ivilization is mining the global environment. 篇章逻辑关系的理解。 本题主要考查中心句和支持性细节间的关系识别。奉段落首先在第一句批驳了错误观点，而后在第二句提出正确观点，即中心句：历史证明一旦文明社会中的自然生命供给系统遭到严重破坏，便难以修复。下文通过地中海地区的例子加以证明。因此，只有选项d的说法符合这一逻辑关系。 解题关键 正确识别篇章逻辑结构是解题的关键。第16题：参考答案：D答案解析：听力原文 The decentralization, diversity, academic freedom and shared governance

33、that have evolved over the past two centuries have made Americas system of higher education one of the most accessible and democratic in the world. Today educators from around the globe are turning to U.S. institutions of higher learning for inspiration. 因果关系的判断。 根据原文可知“the decentralization, diversi

34、ty, academic freedom and shared governance”使得美国高等教育体系成为世界上最易接近、最民主的教育体系。由此可见，只有选项d的内容符合这一逻辑关系。 解题关键 近义词替换。此题能够正确找到原文相关处的关键是理解题干中a great success与原文the most accessible and democratic意思相近。第17题：参考答案：C答案解析：听力原文 Recent years have seen a dramatic shift in the composition of capital flow to emerging market

35、economies. In light of the evidence on the advantages of different kinds of capital, the change looks like one for the better. Bank lending has fallen sharply. Portfolio investment has gone up and foreign direct investment has soared despite the difficulties in expanding it as quickly as many countr

36、ies would wish. 事实细节的找寻和判断。原文认为资本向正在出现的市场经济流动的构成出现巨大变化，而后列举三方面事实细节(bank lending, portfolio investment, foreign direct investment)予以说明，将题干中相关信息与原文对照，可发现只有选项c的说法与原文相符。 解题关键 同义词替换。原文中has gone up与选项中increased同义。第18题：参考答案：C答案解析：听力原文 November not only marks the publication of Toni Morrisons eagerly antici

37、pated eighth novel, Love, but it is also the tenth anniversary of her Nobel Prize for Literature. Morrison is the first black woman to receive a Nobel Prize, precedented in literature by only two black men: Wole Soyinka, the Nigerian playwright, poet and novelist, in 1986; and Dereck Walcott, the Ca

38、ribbean-born poet, in 1992. But Morrison is also the first and only American-born Nobel laureate for literature since 1962, the year novelist John Steinbeck received the award. 特定信息的找寻和判断。 本段落人名等专有名词较多。本题要求根据题干中的关键词，回原文找寻获诺贝尔文学奖的黑人姓名，将听力材料中其它无关的专有名词干扰项排除后，可知只有选项c的说法是正确的。 解题关键 根据要求迅速排除干扰项的影响。第19题：参考答

39、案：A答案解析：听力原文 At the Earth Summit in Johannesburg over a year ago, Israel and Jordan agreed to look into building a Red-Dead pipeline that would run 320 km along their rugged desert border. Dubbed the Peace Conduit, the canal would be the biggest Israel-Jordanian joint venture since their 1994 peace

40、treaty. Israeli officials cite the importance of cooperation with former Arab enemies as one of the main reasons they favor the Red-Dead canal over an older Med-Dead proposal to take water from the Mediterranean Sea, which would not involve Jordan. 因果关系的判断。 根据题干中关键词the “Red-Dead” canal和“Med-Dead”pro

41、posal可定位原文相关部分为“Israeli officials cite the importance of cooperation with former Arab enemies as one of the main reasons they favor the Red-Dead canal over an olderMed-Deadproposal.”，其中信号词“reasons”说明该词前后部分为因果关系，既然该词后部分为题干内容，显然该词前部分的内容应为正确答案。因此，选项a的说法是正确的。 解题关键 掌握通过信号词正确判断语义逻辑关系，如通过原文reason可判断出其上下文的因

42、果关系。第20题：参考答案：D答案解析：听力原文 More than 10 months after the end of major military operations in Iraq, American teams have still not found conclusive evidence that Iraq had any chemical, biological or nuclear weapons, raising doubts about one of the Bush administrations main arguments for going to war.

43、nce he resigned from his post last month, Dr. Kay has said he believes that Iraq largely abandoned the production of weapons of mass destruction after the first Gulf War, and that it gradually destroyed its remaining stockpiles during the 1990s. 特定信息的找寻和判断。 根据题干中关键词Dr. Kay，在原文中找寻与其相关的特定信息，可发现原文相关部分为

44、“Dr. Kay has said he believes that Iraq largely abandoned the production of weapons of mass destruction after the first Gulf War, and that it gradually destroyed its remaining stockpiles during the 1990s.”只有选项c和d的内容与其相关，但选项c中“were destroyed”与原文“abandoned”含义不相符，而选项d的内容则是正确的。 解题关键 近义词辨析，如选项中destroy(毁灭

45、)和原文abandon(放弃)的含义是不同的。Part Listen to the following longer passages and then choose the best answer to each of the questions by blackening the corresponding circle. You may need to scribble a few notes in order to answer the questions satisfactorily. There are 20 questions in this part of the test,

46、two points for each question. Passage One听力原文21-25 Once a social taboo, love across the color line is becoming increasingly common. The number of interracial marriages in the U.S. has leaped almost 1,000% since 1967, when a landmark Supreme Court decision, Loving v. Virginia, voided state antimisceg

47、enation laws that forbid unions between the races. Today there are more than 2 million interracial marriages, accounting for about 5% of all U.S. marriages, and almost half a million of them are between blacks and whites. Yet even after the Loving decision, which required the state of Virginia to re

48、cognize the marriage between a white man and a black woman, Richard and Mildred Loving, the resistance to mixed nuptials in the South seemed to stay as firm as the reverence some there still have for the Confederate flag. It was only three years ago that Alabama became the last state to drop its unenforceable ban on mixed marriage, and it did so with just a 60%-to-40% vote by residents. Of course, interracial intimacy has been a fact of life in the region since Afr
