16、. M: Hello, is that the reference library? W: Yes. Can I help you? M: I hope so. I rang earlier and asked for some information about Denys Hawtin, the scientist. You asked me to ring back. W: Oh, yes. I have found something. M: Good. Ive got a pencil and paper. Perhaps you could read out what it say

17、s, W: Certainly. Hawtin, Denys. Born: Darlington 1836: died New York 1920. M: Yes. Got that. W: Inventor and physicist. The son of a farm worker, he was admitted to the University of London at the age of fifteen. M: Yes. W: He graduated at seventeen with a first class degree in Physics and Mathemati

18、cs. All right? M: Yes, all right. W: He made his first notable achievement at the age of eighteen. It was a method of refrigeration which arose from his work in low temperature physics. He became professor of Mathematics at the University of Manchester at twenty-four, where he remained for twelve ye

19、ars. During that time he married one of his students, Natasha Willoughby. M: Yes. Go on. W: Later, working together in London, they laid the foundation of modern Physics by showing that normal laws of cause and effect do not apply at the level of subatomic particles. For this he and his wife receive

20、d the Nobel Prize for Physics in 1910, and did so again in 1912 for their work on very high frequency radio waves. In his lifetime Hawtin patented 244 inventions. Do you want any more? M: Yes. When did he go to America? W: Let me see. In 1920 he went to teach in New York, and died there suddenly aft

21、er only three weeks. Still, he was a good age. M: Yes. I suppose so. Well, thanks. 1. What do we learn about Denys Hawtin when he was 15? 2. What did Denys Hawtin do at the age of 24? 3. For what were Denys Hawtin and his wife awarded the Nobel Prize a second time? 4. Why did Denys Hawtin go to New

22、York? 1 【正确答案】 C 【试题解析】 对话主要介绍了 Hawtin的生平，女士介绍了他出生和去世的时间后，就讲到他在 15岁时被伦敦大学录取了，故答案为选项 C项。 A项曲解了原文意思，录音是讲 Hawtin在低温物理的工作中发现了 a method of refrigeration，并非 “发明了冰箱 ”； B项中的 first invention未提 及； D项 “他获得了数学学位 ”是 17岁时发生的事。 2 【正确答案】 B 【试题解析】 本题各选项中的名词录音都有提及，但只有选项 B是他在 24岁时所做的事情，与女士提到的 “他在 24岁时在为曼彻斯特大学的数学教授 ”完全

23、吻合。 A项 “他开始致力于冷冻的工作 ”和 D项 “他因低温物理而出名 ”曲解了原文意思。录音只是讲到他取得的第一个显著成就是在低温物理的工作中发现了一种冷冻的方法； Hawtin和 NatashaWilloughby结婚是 24岁之后发生的事情，至于何时fell in love录音未提供相关信息，故排 除 C项。 3 【正确答案】 C 【试题解析】 录音提到 Horton和他妻子获得了两次诺贝尔物理奖，其中第二次获奖的原因是他们在极度高频无线电波上取得了成就， C项复现了原文信息。 A项中的 subatomic particles虽然有提及但 Discovering the true na

24、ture不符合原文信息： B项中的 laws of cause and effect与他们第一次获诺贝尔奖有关，且选项的意思与原文有出入； D项偷换概念，将原文的 physics换成 mathematics。 4 【正确答案】 D 【试题解析】 对话结尾处提到 he went to teach in NewYork，据此断定 D项为答案对话虽提及他到了纽约 3周后就去世了，但 B项 “去度过剩下的岁月 ”不是他去纽约的目的： A项 “去度假三周 ”和 C项 “为他的发明获取专利 ”均无依据。 5 【听力原文】 W: This is Lisa Meyer in the WBZ newsroom,

25、 talking with Mike Bassichis, who is the director of the Gif-ford School, about the cleanup from last weeks fire and what the possible cause of that blaze may have been. M: Were getting ready for our entire staff to return early from vacation tomorrow whereupon we are going to move into temporary cl

26、assrooms. And the other buildings that did not burn are being de-smoked. As to the cause of the fire, all we know is that we were having trouble with the pilot lights since we bought the stove in July and it had been serviced three times. Well, as a matter of fact, we think it was a malfunctioning s

27、tove that may have caused the fire. Nothing definite yet has been determined. W: Have you heard from other schools or other institutional users of this stove that have had the same problem? M: No. I wouldnt know anything more about the stove itself. All I know is that this fire went up so quickly th

28、at theres been a suspicion about why it went up so quickly. And it may be that there was a gas blast. But, again, this has not been determined officially by anybody. W: I got you. When do kids come back to school? M: Next Monday, and we will be ready for them. Monday January 4. Were just extremely t

29、hrilled that no one was hurt and thats because of the fire fighters that were here, nine of them. Theyre wonderful. W: And Im sure you send your thanks out to them, uh? M: Well, were sending out thanks to them in a letter or in any other way we can. I heard a story today where one of our kids actual

30、ly baked some cookies and is taking it to the fire department, to give it to them. 5. What were the speakers talking about? 6. What were the school staff doing at the time of the accident? 7. What was supposed to be the cause of the accident? 8. What did one of the kids do to show gratitude? 5 【正确答案

31、】 D 【试题解析】 对话开头女士便表明一起聊天的是学校的校长，内容是关于上周的火灾，接着对话中女士详细问询了关于这场校园火灾的各种情况。因此选 D项 “一场发生在学校校园的火灾 ”。对话提到没有学生受伤，故 A项 “一些学生的受伤情况 ”错误； B项 “在路上撞车的校巴 ”在对话中未提及；学校的建筑物是起火而不是倒塌，所以排除 C项 “学校建筑物的倒塌 ”。 6 【正确答案】 B 【试题解析】 男士提到在休假的全体老师准备明天一早就返回，可以推知事故发生的时候学校的老师都在休假。因此选 B项 “在休假 ”。 A项 “教书 ”、 C项 “吃午餐 ”和 D项 “举行会议 ”在对话中均未提及。 7

32、 【正确答案】 A 【试题解析】 根据男士的说法，他们认为是出了故障的火炉引起了这场火灾。因此选 A项 “出了故障的火炉 ”。 B项 “工人留下的烟头 ”、 C项 “违反交通法规 ”及 D项 “学校维护的疏忽 ”在原文中都找不到根据。 8 【正确答案】 C 【试题解析】 对话结尾在谈到表达对救火队员的感谢时，男士提到听到的一个故事是一个孩子烤了一些饼干。因此选 C项 “烤些饼干作为礼物 ”。 A项 “给当地报纸寄一个故事 ”和 B项 “举办一个小型的感恩节 派对 ”都没有在文中提到；文中男士有提到他们打算写封信或者以其他的任何方式表达感谢，这是以大人的方式，但是题目问的是一个孩子表达感谢的方式

33、，故排除 D项 “写一封亲笔的感谢信 ”。 Section B 9 【听力原文】 In todays personality stakes, nothing is more highly valued than a sense of humor. We seek it out in others and are proud to claim it in ourselves, perhaps even more than good looks or intelligence. If someone has a great sense of humor, we reason, it means t

34、hat they are happy, socially confident and have a healthy perspective on life. This attitude would have surprised the ancient Greeks, who believed humor to be essentially aggressive. And in fact, our admiration for the comically gifted is relatively new, and not very well-founded, says Rod Martin, a

35、 psychologist at the University of Western Ontario. Being funny isnt necessarily an indicator of good social skills and well-being, his research has shown. It may just as likely be a sign of personality flaws. He has found that humor is a double-edged sword. It can forge better relationships and hel

36、p you cope with life, or it can be corrosive, eating away at self-esteem and irritating others. “Its a form of communication, like speech, and we all use it differently,“ says Martin. We use bonding humor to enhance our social connections, but we also may employ it as a way of excluding or rejecting

37、 an outsider. Though humor is essentially social, how you use it says a lot about your sense of self. Those who use self-defeating humor, making fun of themselves for the enjoyment of others, tend to maintain that hostility toward themselves even when alone. Similarly, those who are able to view the

38、 world with amused tolerance are often equally forgiving of their own shortcomings. 9. How do people today view humor according to the speaker? 10. What did the ancient Greeks think of humor? 11. What has psychologist Rod Martin found about humor? 9 【正确答案】 D 【试题解析】 录音一开始便讲人们是怎样看待幽默，其中提到，如果某个人很有幽默感，这

39、意味着他是快乐的，社交上很自信，而且拥有健康的生活观。选项 D提及了原文其中两点 (happy和 confident)，为本题答案。 A项 “它是性格慷慨的特征 ”、 B项 “它是自尊的反映 ”和 C项 “它的智商高的显示 ”均没有原文依据。 10 【正确答案】 B 【试题解析】 录音在讲完现在人们对幽默的看法后，就提到了古希腊人的看法，他们认为幽默在本质上具有攻击性。选项 B复现了原文信息，为本题答案。 A项中的 self-defeating“适得其反的 ”在录音末尾有提及，但这不是古希腊人的看法，故排除； C项中的 comedy是利用原文的 comically制造干扰，录音并没有提到幽默是

40、 the essence of comedy；录音提到，人类对有幽默天赋的赞赏是相对新潮的，可见古时候的希腊人并不赞赏幽默，选项 D“它是值得赞扬的东西 ”与文意相悖。 11 【正确答案】 A 【试题解析】 录音讲到， Rod Martin发现幽默是把双刃剑，选项 A复现了原文信息，为本题答案。 B项 “它是某一特定文化的特征 ”、 C项 “它是人 类的独特天赋 ”及 D项 “它是自然与文化的双重结果 ”都没有原文依据，均予以排除。该短文三个问题涉及了三种人对幽默的看法，听录音时遇到多个人对某事物做出评价时，这往往是考点，要注意做相关笔记并加以区分，排除干扰。 12 【听力原文】 And no

41、w, if youll walk this way, ladies and gentlemen, the next room were going to see is the room in which the family used to hold their formal dinner parties and even occasionally entertain heads of state and royalty. However, they managed to keep this room friendly and intimate and I think youll agree

42、it has a very informal atmosphere, quite unlike some grand houses you visit. The curtains were never drawn, even at night, so guests got a view of the lake and fountains outside, which were lit up at night. A very attractive sight. As you can see, ladies and gentlemen, the guests were seated very in

43、formally around this oval table, which would add to the relaxed atmosphere. The table dates from the eighteenth century and is made of Spanish oak. Its rather remarkable for the fact that although it is extremely big, its supported by just six rather slim legs. However, it seems to have survived lik

44、e that for two hundred years, so its probably going to last a bit longer. The chairs which go with the table are not a complete set there were originally six of them. They are interesting for the fact that they are very plain and undecorated for the time, with only one plain central panel at the bac

45、k and no arm-rests. I myself find them rather uncomfortable to sit in for very long, but people were used to more discomfort in the past. And now, ladies and gentlemen, if youd like to follow me into the Great Hall . 12. What do we learn about the speaker? 13. What does the speaker say about the roo

46、m they are visiting? 14. What is said about the oval table in the room? 15. What does the speaker say about the chairs? 12 【正确答案】 A 【试题解析】 根据短文首 句的引路语句 if youll walk thisway， ladies and gentlemen和末句的 ladies andgentlemen， if youd like to follow me into theGreat Hau可以判断她是导游。选 A项。四个选项提到四个人物身份，听录音时需注意抓听

47、具有代表性的关键词句，以便快速而准确地确定人物身份。 B项 “口译人员 ”、 C项 “家仆 ”和 D项 “皇室成员 ”均不对。 13 【正确答案】 B 【试题解析】 短文开头便提到他们接下来参观的房间是主人过去用来举 行正式晚餐聚会，偶尔用来招待国家领导或皇族。 B项与文中信息吻合，为本题答案。 C项具有一定的干扰性，但其中的 frequently“频繁地 ”与原文的 occasionally“偶尔 ”相反； A项 “它坐落在美丽的山脚下 ”和 D项 “它装修得像皇族宫殿里边的房间 ”均无依据。符合短文听力中 “听到什么选什么 ”的原则。 14 【正确答案】 C 【试题解析】 当介绍到椭圆桌子

48、时，短文提到，虽然桌子特别大，但只有六个很细的支脚支撑着， C项与原文信息一致。短文未提及椭圆桌子装饰很精巧，排除A项； B项中的 2,000 years与原文的 200 years不符；文中只提到桌子用西班牙栎木 (Spanish oak)做成，并未讲到它的形状像古代西班牙的船只，排除 D项。 15 【正确答案】 D 【试题解析】 导游介绍完桌子后开始介绍椅子，她提到她发现这种椅子坐久了很不舒服， D项中的字眼全部为原句原词，故为答案。 A项 “它们看起来很有趣 ”和 B项 “它们丢失了一些椅脚 ”在短文中并未提及； C项 “它们与椭圆桌子根本不般配 ”是对原文 “这些椅子不是一整套的 ”的

49、曲解。 Section C 16 【听力原文】 Moderator: Hello Ladies and Gentleman, it gives me great pleasure to introduce our keynote speaker for todays session, Dr. Howard Miller. Dr. Miller, Professor of Sociology at Washington University, has written numerous articles and books on the issues facing older Americans in our graying society for the past 15 years. Dr. Miller: Dr. Miller: Thank you for that introduction. Today, Id like to preface my remarks with a story from my own life which I feel highlights the common concerns that bring us here together. Several years ago when m
