16、nt keep up. As they spend more time leaning over their computers, they【 B3】 _family, friends and jobs. They blog at home, at work and on the road.

18、one is reading【 B6】 _. A few blogs have thousands of readers, but never have so many people written so much to be read by so few.

22、name of the company that produces the portable computers, but in vain. Q: What do we learn about the man? 1 【正确答案】 D 【试题解析】 细节题。本题关键是要在听懂男士话语的基础上筛选出有用信息“回忆电脑厂家的名字，但没有想出来 ”。其中， “racking my brains绞尽脑汁 ”是冗余信息，同时也是强干扰信息。所以，男士的问题是不记得电脑厂家的名字了，故选 D。 【知识模块】 听力 2 【听力原文】 M: I must be going now I promised to p

The food was wonderful, the atmosphere was warm, and we al

27、l agreed that you should have been there, too. W: Im sorry, but I just didnt feel up to it. I caught a terrible flu and thought I would be better off just staying at home. Q: Why didnt the woman go to dinner? 5 【正确答案】 D 【试题解析】 根据关键信息 didnt feel up“身体感觉不好 ”或者 caught a terrible flu“得了流感 ”，应选 D。既然是待在家里

29、 to see him? Q: What do we learn about the woman? 6 【正确答案】 D 【试题解析】 事实细节题。关键是听到女士的话 “我得搬出去了 ”，以及 “没有头绪 ”。故选 D。本题属于反常规出题：其一，并没有就第二个谈话者的话发问；其二，也没有就建议句型提问。特别要当心这种题目。 【知识模块】 听力 7 【听力原文】 W: Jack, what a strange suit you are wearing! Your jacket doesnt match your pants. M: I know. I got dressed in the dar

30、k, and I didnt realize my mistake until I had got to the office. And I can do nothing about it right now. Q: What does the woman think of the way Jacks dressed? 7 【正确答案】 D 【试题解析】 细节题。关键是听懂女士的话 “你的夹克衫和你的裤子不配 ”，所以答案选 D。男士所说的 in the dark是指自己 “摸黑 ”穿衣服，而不是指衣服是黑色的，故 B不对。 【知识模块】 听力 8 【听力原文】 M: Im going to

31、the museum Sunday afternoon. There is a new exhibition of art from France and England. Do you want to go with me? W: Id like to.
