What is the reason for child marriage in Africa? 1 【正确答案】 C 【试题解析】 新闻的开头提到，联合国的一份报告称，到 2050年会有将近一半女孩 (约 3 1亿 )在未成年时就结婚， C所述与此一致。 A错在 Th

21、B错在 children，当地文化轻视的只是女孩，不是所有 children。 C“合法结婚年龄低 ”与新闻内容相反，新闻中明确提到在大多数非洲国家， 18岁是合法结婚的年龄。 D“成为青少年母亲的风险高 ”未在新闻中提到。 【知识模块】 听力 3 【听力原文】 (3)Waste products from a popular alcoholic drink could be used in the future to make biofuel.

25、 biofuel)，而下一句则点明这 个 popular alcoholic drink就是指 whisky“威士忌 ”。故 A正确。 B的内容有在新闻中提到，但 “苏格兰是全球最大的威士忌产生 ”并不是本文的重点内容。 C内容与新闻不符， Biobutanol并不是新燃料，也不是苏格兰教授发现的。 D“生产威士忌会产生很多废产品 ”偏离了新闻的重点。 【知识模块】 听力 4 【正确答案】 C 【试题解析】 新闻的结尾提到，制成威士忌后，剩下一两个没什么用处的废产品： strong beer和 wheat。故 C正确。 【知识模块】 听力 5 【 听力原文】 For several years

28、10, weve been at about 23- to 24-thousand international in-migrations on a net basis.“ She says that dramatic drop as much as two-thirds some years contributes to Chicagos overall still population growth.

31、e Tapaskar说，他公司的所有空缺职位找到人并不容易，找到技术精湛的人才仍是一个挑战 (getting high skilled people is still a challenge)。 A复现新闻的内容，为答案。新闻并没有提到需要提升公司的技术，故 B排除。科技公司缺少的是技术熟练的科技人员， C“找到足够的员工 ”不够具体。新闻通篇提到移民情况，但增加移民人数并非科技公司所需要解决的问题，故 D也不对。 【知识模块】 听力 6 【正确答案】 A 【试题解析】 在 Elizabeth Sue的话中，关键词 a substantially decreased和dramatic drop

32、都表明迁入芝加哥人数大幅减少， A正确。新闻说的是移民选择南方各州， B说从南方各州迁来与此相反。 C利用新闻中的 work visa作干扰，实质内容未在新闻中提到。 D说的 “数量上升 ”与新闻内容相反。 【知识模块】 听力 7 【正确答案】 B 【试题解析】 在新闻后段， Tapaskar提到 “那些地方的环境对创业更有利，可能有更低的税收，雇主们能从州政府那里得到更多福利 ”， B与上述内容相符。 C较有干扰性，但新闻结尾提到，增加工作签证为了吸引技术熟练的人才到芝加哥，这与移民选择南方各州的原因无关。 【知识模块】 听力 Section B 8 【听力原文】 W: Dr. Carter

43、： “那正是我打电话的原因。我决定另外找一套房子。 ”B选项中的 “search for a new apartment”就是此句 “look for a new place”的同义替换。口语中 place可以指住处。各选项均与住房有关 (apartment， rent，room， roommate属于同一个语义场 )；选项核心词分别是 problems， search，cost， how to share。注意听清对话的焦点，用以辨别正确选项。 【知识模块】 听力 13 【正确答案】 A 【试题解析】 女士抱怨现在住的地方离校园有点远，每天上下学烦死人，可见她想搬家的原因是住得太远了，故选
