13、cond pause. During the pause, you should read the four choices of A, B, C and D, and mark the best answer to each question on ANSWER SHEET TWO. You have thirty seconds to preview the questions. 1 【听力原文】 W: Hello, David. M: Oh, Hi, sorry, Mia. Im a bit late. W: Oh! No problem. Thanks for agreeing to

14、help me with my assignment today. M: Sure. 1 You are going to talk about European rock art, arent you? W: Yes, 1 the rock drawings in the caves of Lascaux in western France. M: Oh, fantastic, over 13,000 years old, I believe. What sort of drawings are they? W: 2 Theyre drawings of animals on the who

15、le, but you can also find some human representations. There are roughly 600 drawings at Lascaux. M: Really? Were they mostly pictures of bulls? W: Well, no, actually. The animal most depicted was the horse. Have a look at this graph. It shows the distribution of different animals. You see. first the

16、 horse, and then after that a sort of prehistoric bull. And the third most commonly drawn creature was the stag. M: What are the drawings like? W: Well, the bulls are depicted very figurativelytheyre very realistic. They are very big comparing to other drawings, of people. They appear to be almost t

17、hree-dimensional in some cases. M: Amazing. Perhaps they felt these animals were the most impressive and needed to be represented like that. W: Yeah, maybe. The drawings of the humans by contrast consist of just simple lines, like the stick figures my little sister draws. 3 Perhaps humans were seen

18、as less important. M: So apart from the bulls and horses and stags, were there any other creatures depicted? W: In one or two chambers, you do find pictures of fish but theyre quite rare. M: What sort of size is the cave? It must be quite large to have that many pictures. W: Well, 4 its actually a n

19、umber of inter-linking chambers, really. The first 20 metres inside the cave slope down very steeply to the first hall in the network. Thats called the Great Hall of the Bulls. Then off to the left we have the Painted Gallery, which is about 30 metres long. Then further into the cave we find a secon

20、d, lower gallery called the Lateral Passage. This opens off the aisle to the right of the Great Hall of the Bulls. M: Is the cave open to the public today? W: Well, no. 5 After the initial discovery in 1940, it was opened and literally millions of people came through to see the drawings. Then in the

21、 fifties the experts started to worry about the damage being done to the drawings, 5 and the government finally closed the Lascaux cave in 1963. 1. What is the woman going to talk about? 2. What can we learn from the conversation about the drawings? 3. What might be seen as less important according

22、to the woman? 4. What can we learn from the conversation about the chambers in the cave? 5. When was the cave open to the public? 1 【正确答案】 C 【试题解析】 题目问女士打算讲什么。会话中，男士问女士是不是打算讲欧洲岩画，女士给出肯定回答，并补充说是法国西部拉斯科洞穴的岩画， C项与录音相符，故为答案。 2 【正确答案】 B 【试题解析】 题目问我们可以从会话中得知岩画的什么信息。录音提到，那里的岩画有动物群，但是你也能找到人物肖像， B项与录音相符，故为答案

23、。 A项是利用数字 600作干扰，但录音说的是拉斯科洞穴大约有 600幅画。排除 A。 C项错在the prehistoric bulls，录音提到，画得最多的动物是马 。录音中具体提到的岩画中的动物就有马、牛、牡鹿和鱼，因此 D项错误。 3 【正确答案】 D 【试题解析】 题目问在女士看来，或许什么不是那么重要。录音中，女士提到人类的画像只是用简单的线条，由此女士得出结论，或许人类被视为不那么重要，故选 D。 4 【正确答案】 D 【试题解析】 本题问拉斯科洞穴内画室的相关信息。录音中，女士提到洞穴是由许多相连通的 “室 ”构成的。 D项与女士的话一致，故为答案。 A项错在 30，应为20；

24、 B项错在 20，录音说 The Painted Gallery的长度是 30米，故 也排除； C项错在 left，应为 fight，故也排除。 5 【正确答案】 C 【试题解析】 选项均为时间，应留意相关信息。题目问拉斯科洞穴何时向大众开放过。录音中，女士提到，在 1940年初次发现的时候，就已经开放。录音结尾部分，女士提到，拉斯科洞穴于 1963年关闭，结合这两处，可知答案为 C。 6 【听力原文】 M: Excuse me madam. W: Yes? M: I wonder whether youd help us. Were doing a survey on smokers hab

25、its. W: Well. Im in a bit of a hurry actually. M: Itll only take a few minutes. Wed very much appreciate your help. W: Well, all right. I can spare that, I suppose. M: Thank you. Are you a smoker?

What kind of people does the woman think might smoke pipes? 8. When did the woman try to give up smoking for the first time? 9. Why did the woman try

33、 to give up smoking for the second time? 10. What can we learn from the conversation about the woman? 6 【正确答案】 C 【试题解析】 选项均为数字，因此听音时应关注与数字相关的信息。题目问女士每周抽多少根烟。会话中，男士问女士是否把自己描述为重度吸烟者。女士回答说，她不会把每周抽 3包 20支装的烟称之为重度抽烟。由此可见，女士每周抽20x3=60根，故答案为 C。 B项为每包烟里香烟的数量。 7 【正确答案】 B 【试题解析】 题目问女士认为哪类人可能会用烟管抽烟。会话中女士提到，她通常

34、会把冷静知足的人与用烟管抽烟的人联系在一起，意即，她认为 冷静知足的人会用烟管抽烟， B与录音的意思相符，故为答案。 8 【正确答案】 D 【试题解析】 选项都为时间，且均含有 she，故可推测本题问女士做某事的时间。会话中，女士提到，她首次尝试戒烟的时间是在结婚前的 6个月，故 D为答案。 32岁是女士现在的年纪，可排除 A； 17岁是女士第一次抽烟的年龄，故 B也可排除；生完小孩后数周是女士第二次重新开始吸烟的时间。故排除 C。 9 【正确答案】 C 【试题解析】 题目问女士第二次戒烟的原因。录音中女士提到，她成功完全戒烟一段时间，医生建议她一点烟也不要抽， 但女士后面说到在孩子出生几周后

35、就她又再次抽上了，可见女士第二次戒烟的原因是她怀孕了，答案为 C。 A项是第一次戒烟的原因，故排除；女士只是提到第一次戒烟是在结婚前的六个月，并未提及戒烟的原因是要结婚，故排除 B；录音中女士提到，她的小孩用奶粉喂养(bottle-fed)，可见 D项的 breast-feeding不正确。 10 【正确答案】 D 【试题解析】 选项出现多个 She和 her，可见本题是问女士的相关情况。录音结尾部分，女士提到她饭后会抽一根烟，但从不空腹抽烟，可见 D与会话相符。录音中，女士说丈夫还 没有到 chain smoker那么严重，故 A不正确；录音中，女士提及丈夫从不用烟管抽烟，故 B也错误；录音

36、并未提到女士第一次抽烟是与丈夫一起抽。故 C也不正确。 11 【听力原文】 M: Good morning, Dr Healy. Welcome to “The years to Come“. W: Thank you. M: Well, what are your predictions about the world? What is it going to be like in the year 2020? W: Hum, if present trends continue, Im afraid the world in 2020 will be more crowded 1 and

37、more polluted than the world we live in now. M: Yes, however, food production is constantly increasing. Dont you think we will be able to cope with the increase in world population? W: I dont think so. Even though production is constantly increasing, the people of the world will be poorer than they

38、are today. For hundreds of millions of the desperately poor, the supply of food and other necessities of life will not be any better. And for many they will be worse, unless the nations of the world do something to change the current trends. M: What is your estimate of world population in the year 2

39、020? W: Well, already, 2 world population is about 6,500 million. If present trends continue, that is with the number of births by far exceeding the number of deaths, 2 the world population could approach 7,500 million in 2020. M: Thats worrying! And what about water? W: Water is becoming a problem

40、too. Water shortage will become more severe in the future, and due to the increase of births there will be enough water only for half of the population. M: Which of the present trends do you think will continue over the next decade? W: Well, significant loss of the worlds forests will continue over

41、the next ten years as the demand for wood for fuel and manufacturers increases. Also atmospheric-concentration of carbon dioxide and other chemicals is expected to increase at rates that could alter the worlds climate due to the “greenhouse effect“. M: The “greenhouse effect“? Could you explain what

42、 the “greenhouse effect“ is? W: Sure. Well, 3 the amount of carbon dioxide in the air is progressively increasing and it traps more of the heat of the sun in the atmosphere. This has a warming effect which could change the climate. M: I see. Is this the only effect of carbon dioxide? W: No, it isnt.

43、 4 Carbon dioxide and other chemicals which derive from the use of fossil fuels will also increase the quantity of acid rain which is already damaging or even destroying plants, trees and other parts of our environment. Also, 4 there will be a dramatic increase in the number of species becoming exti

44、nct. 5 Hundreds of thousands of species will be lost because of the loss of their habitat. M: Thats appalling! Doctor, thanks for giving us the information. 1.

45、 is the“greenhouse effect”? 4 Besides the“greenhouse effect”, what else will carbon dioxide bring about? 5 What is the direct cause of lots of species extinction? 11 【正确答案】 D 【试题解析】 题目问哪项是 Healy博士的预测。录音开头，女士 (Dr. Healy)提到，如果目前趋势继续的话，世界在 2020年会变得更拥挤，污染更加严重， D项“污染更严重 ”与会话相符，故为答案。女士提到，对上百万极其贫穷的人来说，食物和其

46、他必需品的供给不会变得更好，对许多人来说，会变得更糟糕， A项 will remain the same与录音矛盾，故排除； B项与 Dr Healy预测的 “人们会变得更贫穷 (the people of the world will be poorer)”相悖，也排除； D项与 Dr Healy预测的 “世界会变得更拥挤 ”相反，故也排除。 12 【正确答案】 B 【试题解析】 选项都为数字，故本题需要留意数字相关的地方。会话中，男士让Dr Healy预计 2020年的人口数量， Dr Healy说现在人口为 6,500 million，到2020年，人口数将达到 7,500 millio

47、n，由此可见，从现在到 2020年新增的人口数为 1,000 million，故 B正确。 13 【正确 答案】 C 【试题解析】 题目问什么是温室效应。录音中，女士提到，空气中的二氧化碳含量逐渐增加，大气中的二氧化碳使太阳的热量 “留 ”在大气层中无法散发出去，从而产生一种变暖的效应，就叫温室效应， C项是对此处会话的概括，故为答案。 14 【正确答案】 D 【试题解析】 题目问除了温室效应，二氧化碳还带来了什么。会话中，女士提到由于燃用矿物燃料所产生的二氧化碳和其他化学物质会增加酸雨的降雨量，接着用 Also引出另一个后果：会造成更多动物灭绝， D项综合了这两处的意思。故为答案。 15 【

48、正确答案 】 C 【试题解析】 题目问导致大量动物会灭绝的直接原因，录音中女士提到成百上千的动物会因为失去栖息地而消失，故 C为答案。 A“失去食物 ”和 B“重度污染 ”均不是动物灭绝的直接原因；会话中并未提及 “地震 ”，故排除 D。 16 【听力原文】 W: Good morning Graham and welcome to the show. M: Good morning, Carol. W: Now, Graham, I understand that there has been a lot of community consultation for the new plan.

49、 M: Yes, weve tried to address some of the concerns that local groups told us about. 6 People weve heard from are mainly worried about traffic in the area, and in particular, the increasing speed of cars near schools.
