You must be thrilled about your discovery. M: Well, yes, its very exciting. For a long time wed suspected the presen

15、ce of such organisms, but we lacked substantial evidence. W: How did you confirm the existence of the bacteria? M: Well, technology helped. Our drilling techniques have improved significantly, and so the risk that surface bacteria could be mistaken for those found at much greater depth was reduced.

16、With the new techniques, we could get much deeper into the Earth. W: How far down did you actually get? M: In one case, about three kilometers. We were surprised. I must tell you, that there were organisms that far down. W: You know, it sounds like fiction, something like a lost world. M: Lets call

17、it a hidden biosphere, and its probably a very extensive one. The mass of the living organisms below the surface may be equal in size to the mass of the surface bacteria. W: Have you found any unique life-forms? M: Yes. Weve found a very special organism. Lets call it Type-A bacterium. It can live a

18、nd grow only where there is no oxygen. W: Is there any danger of these bacteria infecting people when you bring them to the surface?

How deep down did the man find the bacteria? 4. Why does the man say there is no danger of infection by the bacte

20、ria brought to surface? 1 【正确答案】 A 【试题解析】 通常情况下，长对话都会开宗明义，所以考生一定要注意听力材料的开头句。从对话的开头句可知布朗博士和他的团队在地底下发现了细菌，细菌也是生物的一种，故选 A。 2 【正确答案】 B 【试题解析】 对话中，布朗博士提到，是科技帮了忙。尤其是钻孔技术突飞猛进，因此选 B。 3 【正确答案】 A 【试题解析】 女士问钻井机实际挖到了多深，男士回答说大概 3000米。后面他又补充道，他们在 3000米这个位置还发现了生 物体。后面提到这些生物体其实就是前面所说的远在地表下的细菌，所以本题选 A。 4 【正确答案】 B 【试

21、题解析】 在最后一个话轮中，布朗博士提到，这些地底下的细菌在元氧的环境下生存，在我们有氧的环境中便无法存活，所以不用担心它们会传染疾病给人类，选项 B为原文的同义替换。符合 “长对话结尾常出题 ”的命题规律。 A、 C选项毫无原文依据， D利用了原文中的 drilling进行干扰。 5 【听力原文】 W: I havent seen you here for a couple weeks.

27、7. Why does the woman mention Romanticism? 8.

29、y. But, before we start, Id like to mention a few things your text doesnt go into. Its interesting to note that insurance has existed in some form for a very long time. The earliest insurance policies provided shipping protection for merchants as far back as 3000 B. C. In general, the contracts were

30、 often no more than verbal agreements. They granted loans to merchants with the understanding that if a particular shipment of goods was lost at sea, the loan didnt have to be repaid. Interest on the loans varied according to how risky it was to transport the goods. During periods of heavy piracy at

31、 sea, for example, the amount of interest and the cost of the policy went up considerably. So, you can see how insurance helped encourage international trade. Even the most cautious merchants became willing to risk shipping their goods over long distances not to mention in hazardous weather conditio

32、ns when they had this kind of protection available. Generally speaking, the basic form of an insurance policy has been pretty much the same since the Middle Ages. There are four points that were prominent then and remain dominant in all policies today. These were outlined in chapter six and will ser

33、ve as the basis for the rest of todays discussion. 9. Who were the first insurance contracts designed to protect? 10. What determined the interest on the loans? 11. What does the speaker say about current insurance policies? 9 【正确答案】 D 【试题解析】 这是一道细节题，问题是：最早的保险合同是为保护谁而设计的。短文提到，早期保险为商人进行航运提供了保护，因此选 D。

34、 10 【正确答案】 C 【试题解析】 短文中提到，利息会随着运输风险的变化而变化，选项 C是原文how risky it was totransport the goods的同义替换，故为正确答案。即使解题关键词没抓听到，也可以根据后面一句的解释：在海盗猖狂的时候，利息和保单费用都会提高，推断出正确答案。 A、 B、 D项在文中没有提及。 11 【正确答案】 B 【试题解析】 短文介绍了早期的保险形式之后总结说，保险单的基本形式自从中世纪以来就一直差不多，意思与之接近的只有选项 B。 12 【听力原文】 Milk was a basic food of man long before his

35、tory was written. It will probably keep on being one as long as there are animals that give milk. Many ancient people thought that milk had great healing power. One of the most famous Greek doctors told his patients to drink milk to cure illness. For more than two hundred years most people got their

36、 milk from their own cattle or from a nearby dairy herd. But in time new inventions made the dairy industry a big business. In 1851 Gail Borden, founder of a milk company, found a way to take some of the water out of milk. This made it keep much longer. Four years later, Louis Pasteur introduced the

37、 pasteurization process. This process killed the bacteria in milk that caused it to spoil. Next, a special milk bottle was designed. This was followed by the invention of machines that could fill bottles and cap them automatically. These discoveries had a great effect on the dairy industry. They mea

38、nt that milk could be stored longer. It could be safely shipped over long distances. Preparing and distributing milk soon became a large-scale business. Recently, in a single year more than sixty billion quarts of milk were sold in the United States. Some people believe that milk drinking will becom

39、e less popular in America than it has been. But remember how long milk has been a basic food and think of the many ways in which it is useful. It seems safe to say that the milk industry will always be important. 12. What did ancient people think about milk? 13. Why did milk become a big business? 1

40、4. What invention made milk keep longer in 1851? 15. What does the speaker think of the milk industry in the future? 12 【正确答案】 C 【试题解析】 短文提到，古人认为牛奶有很好的治疗功效， healing power为cure illness的同义改写， C为正确选项。选项 A、 B都是利用原文中的healingpower设置的干扰项，如果没听清也可根据后文的 cure illness得出答案。D文中没有提及。 13 【正确答案】 C 【试题解析】 由选项可预测本题问原因

41、。短文提到，由于几项新发明 (new inventions)使乳品加工业成为巨大产业。虽然选项中没有 inventions但下文提到的these discoveries与其意思是一样的故 C为正确答案。文中没有提到 the development of industry，故排除 A。虽然 B也是使乳品加工业成为巨大产业的原因之一，但 C更全面。 D文中没有提及。 14 【正确答案】 B 【试题解析】 短文提到， 1851年 Gall Borden发现了从牛奶中提取水的方法这意味着牛奶可以存放得更久。 B为正确答案。发明了 special milk bottle的好处是牛奶可以运到更远的地方，而

42、不是保存得更久，由此排除 A。 C虽然也是使牛奶保存得更久的方 法但题目问的是在 1851年，故排除。 15 【正确答案】 D 【试题解析】 短文最后提到，可以保险地说牛奶工业将来仍然很重要。由此可知D为答案。 Section C 16 【听力原文】 Fifty years ago, when I began exploring the ocean, no one imagined that we could do anything to harm the ocean by what we put into it or by what we took out of it. It seemed,

43、 at that time, to be a sea of paradise, but now we know that we are facing paradise lost. I want to share with you my personal view of changes in the sea that affect all of us, and to consider why it matters that in 50 years, weve lost actually, weve taken, weve eaten more than 90 percent of the big

44、 fish in the sea: why you should care that nearly half of the coral reefs have disappeared: why a reduction of oxygen in large areas of the Pacific should concern not only the creatures that are dying, but it really should concern you. It does concern you, as well. There was still time. Well, now is

45、 that time. I hope for your help to explore and protect the wild ocean in ways that will restore the health and, in so doing, secure hope for humankind. Health to the ocean means health for us. For me, as a scientist, it all began in 1953 when I first tried underwater breathing device. Its when I fi

46、rst got to know how fish swimming in mysterious ocean. I actually love diving at night: you see a lot of fish then that you dont see in the daytime. Since then, Ive started designing and building 13 underwater systems to access the deep sea. I led a five-year National Geographic expedition, the Sust

47、ainable Seas expeditions, using these little submarines. Theyre so simple to drive that even a scientist can do it. And Im living proof. Over time, most of the planets organic carbon has been absorbed and stored there. The ocean drives climate and weather, stabilizes temperature, shapes Earths chemi

48、stry. Water from the sea provides home for about 97 percent of life in the world, maybe in the universe. No water, no life: no blue, no green. A global plan of action with a world conservation union is underway to protect biodiversity, to recover from the impacts of climate change. New technologies

49、are needed to map, photograph and explore the 95 percent of the ocean that we have yet to see. I wish you would use all means at your disposal films, expeditions, the web, new submarines and campaign to arouse public support for a global network of marine protected areas hope spots large enough to save and restore the ocean, the blue heart of the planet. 16. What was beyond imagination when the speaker began to explore the ocean SO years ago? 17. What should we worry about in the Pacific except for the dying creatures? 18.
