31、on. 0 【听力原文】 My mother stayed in California for ten years. Her grandfather left her to his wife, Emma, a severe woman who wore black dresses and resented and ignored my mother.

32、 my mother trick-or-treating with school friends, Emma decided to confine her to her room for an entire year, except for the hours she was in school. She forbade my mother to eat at the kitchen table or linger in the front yard. This cruel punishment went on for months until Emmas sister came for a

33、visit and put a stop to it. By the time my mother turned fourteen, she could no longer bear life in her grandmothers house. She found work as a mothers helper, caring for two young children in return for room, board and three dollars a week. She had little time for the extracurricular athletics and

34、drama that she loved and no money for clothes. She washed the same blouse everyday to wear with her only skirt and, in colder weather, her only sweater.

35、ved. My mother often told me that without that sojourn with a strong family, she would not have known how to care for her own home and children. 1 【正确答案】 B 【试题解析】 根据原文 “(My mother)Her grandfather left her to his wife，Emma” ，据此可以推断出 2 【正确答案】 A 【试题解析】 根据原文 “Emmararely allowed my mother to attend parti

36、es or other functions ”，译文为：爱玛很少允许我母亲参加舞 会和其它活动。题干中用同义词 seldom代替了原文的 rarely，用 go to parties代替了原文的 attend parities。 3 【正确答案】 B 【试题解析】 题干中给出的是错误的干扰信息： “Emma decided to punish my mother because she didnt go to school ”，译文为：爱玛决定惩罚我母亲因为她不去上学。根据原文 “One Halloween， when she caught my mother trick-or-treatin

37、g with school friends， Emma decided to” ，所以真正的原因是母亲和朋友们玩万圣节的游戏 4 【正确答案】 B 【试题解析】 题干句子与原文相比出现信息缺失。根据原文 “Emma decided to confine her to her room for an entire year， except for the hours she was in school ”，译文为：爱玛决定把我母亲在她的房间里禁闭一年，除了上学的时间外。而题干 “My mother was confined to her room for an entire year ”没有包括

38、except之后的信息。 5 【正确答案】 B 【试题解析】 根据原文 “She forbade my mother to eat at the kitchen table”，译文为：她不许我的妈妈在厨房的餐桌上吃饭。题干 “Emma forbade my mother to eat ”出现信息缺失，理解上断章取义。 6 【正确答案】 A 【试题解析】 根据原文 “By the time my mother turned fourteen， she could no longer bear life in her grandmothers house She found work as a m

39、others helper， caring for two young children in return for room， board and three dollars a week ”，译文为：到母亲十四岁时，她再也不能忍受在她祖母家的生活。她找到了一份保姆的工作，帮助一位妈妈照顾两个年幼的孩子，报酬是每 周 3美元，并提供食宿。据此可以推断题干； “At the age of fourteen, my mother found work and moved out of Emmas house ”(译文为：在十四岁时，妈妈找到了工作并从爱玛家搬了出来。 )是对原文的理解归纳。 7

40、【正确答案】 A 【试题解析】 根据原文 “She had little time for the extracurricular athletics and drama that she loved”. 8 【正确答案 】 B 【试题解析】 根据原文 “My mother often told me that without that sojourn with a strong family， she would not have known how to care for her own home and children ”，以及 “She lived in household wher

41、e the father and mother gave their children the love， attention and guidance she had never received ”，译文为：母亲经常告诉我如果没有寄居在这个温馨的家庭，她不会知道如何照顾自己的家和孩子，还有她住的这个家里，这家的父母亲给予自己的孩子爱心、关心和指导，这些是母亲从未得到的。据此我们应能推断出这位母亲知道了如何疼爱孩子，作者本人也得到了这些爱。 9 【正确答案】 B 【试题解析】 根据原文 “she would not have known how to care for her own hom

42、e and children ”，此句是 虚拟语气，表示与事实相反，说明母亲懂得了如何照顾自己的家庭和孩子。 10 【正确答案】 A 【试题解析】 根据原文 “She found work as anothers helper, caring for two young children in return for room， board and three dollars a week ”，题干中用同义短语 take care of代替了原文的 care for的分词形式，是对原文的同义解释。 SECTION 2 (10 points) Listen to the following sho

43、rt statements and then choose one of the answers that best fits the meaning of each statement. There are 10 questions in this section, 1 points for each question. You will hear the recording only ONCE. 11 【听力原文】 Since I have a meeting around noon, I will eat my lunch on the mn. 11 【正确答案】 A 【试题解析】 根据

44、原文 “Since I have a meeting around noon， I will eat my lunch on the run ”，关键在于理解固定搭配 On the run。 On the run： hurrying busily from place to place，意指匆忙地，所以 a选项 “I will eat lunch very quickly ”是对原文的正确解释。而 d选项则为干扰项，把 on the run理解为 running的意思，并用同义词 jogging来代替了 running，具有迷惑性。 12 【听力原文】 He hung up on me. 12

45、 【正确答案】 C 【试题解析】 根据原文 “He hung up on me ”，关键在于理解固定搭配 hang up。 hang up： to end up a telephone conversation，意指：挂断电话。选项 c“He put the receiver down ”是对原文的正确解释，意指：把 receiver(听筒 )放下。 b选项为 “他拿起电话。 ”， d选项为 “他举起我的衣架 (hanger)。 ” 13 【听力原文】 She said she didnt like anyone to visit her on weekends.

47、to London and New York respectively ”，译文为：苏姗和玛丽分别去伦 敦和纽约。关键在于理解副词respectively， respectively的意思是；各自地，依次地。例如： My two sons，Adam and Alexander， are five and nine respectively。 15 【听力原文】 His friend never runs out of things to write. 15 【正确答案】 C 【试题解析】 根据原文 “His friend never runs out of things to write ”，

48、译文为： 他朋友的写作素材永远不会枯竭 (用完 )。关键在于理解固定搭配 run out of，run out of的意思是：用完，耗光。 c选项是对原文的正确解释。 a选项 “Writing exhausts his friend (写作耗尽了他朋友的灵感。 )”正是对原文的否定。 exhaust意思是：用完，耗尽。 16 【听力原文】 It would be a good idea to look into the company before you invest all your money. 16 【正确答案】 B 【试题解析】 根据原文 “It would be a good id

49、ea to look into the company before you invest all your money ”，译文为：在你把所有的钱进行投资之前，最好对这家公司做调查。关键在于理解固定搭配 look into， look into意思是：调查，与 b选项中的 investigate是同义词，正确选项是对原文的同义替换。 17 【听力原文】 I stayed at home for some much needed rest during the vacation. 17 【正确答案】 A 【试题解析】 根据原文 “I stayed at home for some much needed rest during the vacation ”，译文为：假期里我待在家里做了必要的休息。 a选项直接再现了原文的表达 stayed at home。 18 【听力原文】 The research paper was very brief, but still i
