34、er the statements below are true or false. There are 10 questions in this section, with 1 points each. You will hear the recording only ONCE. At the end of the recording, you will have 2 minutes to finish this section. 0 【听力原文】 Today Im going to discuss transportation and communication in the early

35、19th century in the United States. At that time, inland waterways provided North Americas most popular form of long-distance transportation. Travel by rivers was often more convenient than taking a wagon over primitive country roads, especially when shipping heavy loads of farm products or household

36、 goods. Where the natural waterways were inadequate, shallow canals were built. The Erie Canal, opened in 1825, connected the Great Lakes with the upper Hudson River. It allowed settlers in the Great Lakes region to send their crops eastward to New York City at the mouth of Hudson at a much lower co

37、st. From there, crops could be shipped to other Atlantic ports. The construction of the Erie Canal also encouraged westward migration along inland waterways and helped populate the frontier. The City of Detroit grew up between two of the Great Lakes. Later a canal joined the Great Lakes with the Mis

38、sissippi river system and Chicago became a thriving city. Politically the waterway system united the nation in a way few had imagined possible, by the mid-1800s, faster and cheaper railroads became more popular and the canal system declined. Railroads could be used year round whereas canals were oft

39、en frozen in the winter. During the first third of the century, however, transportation on rivers, lakes and canals aided greatly in the growth of the United States. 1 【正确答案】 A 【试题解析】 特定信息的找寻和判断。根据题干中地名专有名词定位到原文相关信息 The Erie Canalconnected the Great Lakes with the upper Hudson River 即Erie运河将 Great L

40、akes和 Hudson River上游联接起来，而题干说 Erie运河和Hudson River汇入 Great Lakes，由此可知题 干的说法与原文不符，该题的说法是错误的。 2 【正确答案】 B 【试题解析】 特定信息的找寻和判断。根据原文可知 1825年 Erie运河的开放使得大湖区的定居者们可将粮食运到东部纽约城，而且该运河 also encouraged westward migration along inland waterways and helped populate the frontier即鼓励了人们沿内陆水道向西部移民。由此可见，当时的运输是东西双向进行的。因此题干

41、的说法与原文不符，是错误的。 3 【正确答案 】 A 【试题解析】 语义理解题。根据原文 Where the natural waterways were inadequate， shallow canals were built可知哪里的天然水路不够，哪里就有浅的运河修建。由此可见题干的说法与原文意思相符，是正确的。 4 【正确答案】 B 【试题解析】 因果关系的找寻和判断。根据原文 It allowed settlers in the Great Lakes region to send their crops eastward to New York City at the mouth

42、of Hudson at a much lower cost From there， crops could be shipped to other Atlantic ports可知，当时大湖区的定居者们将谷物经水道东运至 Hudson河口的纽约城，其运费比其它方式便宜许多。在那里，货物再用船运到大西洋沿岸其它港口。由此可推断，纽约城繁荣的原因应该是因为该地是货物的集散地。而题干说纽约城有比其它大西洋诸港都深的港口在原文中并未提到，因此题干的说法是错误的。 5 【正确答案】 A 【试题解析】 特定信息的找寻和判断。根据原文 The construction of the Erie Canal

43、also encouraged westward migration along inland waterways and helped populate the frontier可知 Erie运河的开通鼓励了沿内陆水道向西部的移民，帮助了西部边疆的移民定居。由此可见题干的说法与原文相符，是正确的。 6 【正确答案】 B 【试题解析】 因果关系的找寻和判断。 根据原文 by the mid-1800s， faster and cheaper railroads became more popular and the canal system declined Railroads could b

44、e used year round whereas canals were often frozen in the winter可知到 19世纪中期，更为快捷、便宜的铁路运输日益流行，运河水运衰落了。铁路运输可终年使用而冬天结冰使运河无法使用。由此可判断内陆水运系统无法与其它运输形式抗衡的原因在于速度、价格和自然条件的限制，因此题干将耗时列为主要原因，与原文不符，是错误的。 7 【正确答案】 A 【试题解析】 推理判断题。根据原文 Politically the waterway system united the nation in a way few had imagined possib

45、le， by the mid-1800s， faster and cheaper railroads became more popular and the canal system declined可知，从政治角度看水运系统将全国联系起来，这几乎没人能想到。到 19世纪中期，更为快捷、便宜的铁路运输日益流行，运河水运衰落了。由此可推断该句前半部分说明了水运系统的重要性，而后半句则表明其衰落的必然性。因此题干的说法与原文相符，是正确的。 8 【正确答案】 B 【试题解析】 特定信息的找寻和判断。根据原文 by the mid-1800s， faster and cheaper railroad

46、s became more popular and the canal system declined可知，运河系统的衰落是由于铁路运输的兴起。原文并未提到大西洋各港口的衰败。由此可见题干的说法与原文不符，因此是不正确的。 9 【正确答案】 A 【试题解析】 数字信息的找寻和判断。根据原文 in the early 19th century in the United States At that time， inland waterways provided North Americas most popular form of long-distance transportation可 知

47、在 19世纪早期内陆水运系统是北美最流行的长途运输方式。由此可见题干的说法与原文相符，因此是正确的。 10 【正确答案】 A 【试题解析】 主旨题。原文一开始便提出主题，指出 19世纪早期内陆水运系统是北美最流行的长途运输方式，接着以事实为例进行说明。最后进行总结 During the first third of the century， however， transportation on rivers， lakes and canals aided greatly in the growth of the United States，即在 19世纪前三分之一段的时间内，美国内陆水运对国家

48、发展做出了重大贡献。由此可见题干的说法与原文中心意思相符，因此是正确的。 SECTION 2 (10 points) Listen to the following short 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】 St

49、arting over is out of the question. 11 【正确答案】 C 【试题解析】 词组辨析题。原文意思是 “重新开始是不可能的。 ”由此可见选项 C的含义与原文意思相符，该项是正确答案。 12 【听力原文】 Thanks for the advice, but this is something I have to figure out myself. 12 【正确答案】 D 【试题解析】 词义理解题。原文意思是 “谢谢你的建议，但有些事情我得自己弄明白。 ”由此可见，选项 D“他要自己拿定主意 ”与原文意思相符，因此该项为正确答案。 13 【听力原文】 Im afraid youre being too particular about your food. 13 【正确答案】 C 【试题解析】 词义理解题。原文意思是 “恐怕你对食物过于挑剔了。 ”由此可见，选项 C“你对 食物太挑剔了 ”与原文意思相符，因此该项为正确答案。 14 【听力原文】 He always f
