17、MV-22 Osprey crashed during a training exercise, killing two Marines. 1. What do we learn about the accident from the news report? 2. Why was the search difficult according to Ms Mooers? 1 【正确答案】 D 【试题解析】 新闻开头说到两架美国海军陆战队直升机相撞，此事故发生在周四晚上。故 D正确。发生事故的飞机是两架美国海军直升机，而不是客机 (passenger planes)，故 A错误。事故发生在夏威夷

18、的欧胡岛，故 B也不对。两架飞机各有 6人，共 12人，故 C错误。 【知识模块】 听力 2 【正确答案】 A 【试题解析】 新闻提到 Mooers女士告 诉洛杉矶电台 KNX-AM，因为黑暗和一个巨浪警告 (darkness and a high surf advisory)，所以这次搜救会很艰难。 A正确。 B“两名海军陆战队员在训练时被杀 ”是新闻末尾提到的另一场事故。 C“事故的原因未知 ”在新闻开头有提到，但这都不是搜救困难的原因。 D“夜间训练很危险 ”没有在新闻中提到。 【知识模块】 听力 3 【听力原文】 US Secretary of defense Chuck Hagel

19、recently met with Colombian leaders as part of a six-day visit to South America “Colombia,“ said Mr. Hagel, “continues to expand its role as a security exporter, having helped train tens of thousands of security personnel for more than 40 nations.“ The Colombian military has practiced its skills in

22、fforts to combat transnational crime. 3. What did the Colombian military bring into its belief? 4. How much defense funding is being provided by the United States? 3 【正确答案】 A 【试题解析】 新闻提到哥伦比亚军队与哥伦比亚革命武装力量 (FARC)进行了几十年的战斗，磨练了战斗技能，同时将保护人权纳入其宗旨 (combining protection of human rights as an integral part)。

23、故 A正确。新闻开头提到哥伦比亚已经帮助40多个国家培训了成千上万的安保人员，但这并非其宗旨，排除 B。 C“与 FARC战斗 ”和 D“区域安全协作 ”均有在新闻中提到，但都不是哥伦比亚军队的宗旨，故排除。 【知识模块】 听力 4 【正确 答案】 D 【试题解析】 新闻提到在上一财年，美国向哥伦比亚提供了 5000多万美元的国防资金。故正确答案为 D。 3 24亿美元出现在 “一个涉资 3 24亿美元的双边项目 ”，美国向哥伦比亚提供了 5000多万美元的国防资金包括在其中，故 A、 C不对。 B在语音上有一定的干扰。 【知识模块】 听力 5 【听力原文】 (5)PCBs, were man

24、ufactured from the 1920s, but were banned in the US in 1979, in the UK in 1981 and in the rest of the EU in 1987. (6)They were found to have a wide-ranging impact on human and animal health, from links to cancer, to restraining the immune system and causing reproductive problems. However, these chem

25、icals are extremely durable and despite the ban they are still found in the environment. “Europe produced about 300,000 tonnes of PCBs from 1954 to 1984. That was about 15% of the worlds total,“ said Dr Jepson. “A lot of this PCB, we dont know how much, has not been dealt with and is slowly leaking

26、into rivers, from landfills, and eventually into the marine environment.“ The chemicals then gradually work their way up the food chain and into the top marine animals. The researchers analysed samples taken from more than 1,000 killer whales and dolphins in Europes waters. “Our findings show that,

27、despite the ban and initial decline in environmental pollution, (7)PCBs still persist at dangerously high levels in European whales,“ explained Dr Jepson. 5. When were the PCBs banned in the UK? 6. Why should PCBs be banned according to the news report? 7. What do we learn about PCBs from the resear

28、ch? 5 【正确答案】 C 【试题解析】 新闻开头提到多氯联苯 (PCB)从 20世纪 20年代被制作出来后，于1981年被英国所禁止。故 C正确。 A“1920年 ”是 PCB问世的时间。 B“1979年 ”是在美国被禁止的时间。 D“1987年 ”是被欧盟的其他国家禁止的时间。 【知识模块】 听力 6 【正确答案】 A 【试题解析】 新闻中提到，人们发现多 PCB在很大程度上会危害人类和动物的健康 (have a wide-ranging impact on human and animal health)，包括引发癌症、抑制免疫系统以及导致生殖问题。 A中的 great influen

29、ce和 peoples health是对原文的同义改写，故选 A。 B“它们在环境中永久存在 ”在新闻中有提到，但这并不是PCB被禁的原因。 C“它们的产量多得难以控制 ”和 D“它们在食物链顶端起作用 ”均 与新闻内容不符。 【知识模块】 听力 7 【正确答案】 D 【试题解析】 新闻的最后提到，杰普森博士解释说其研究结果显示 PCB仍然存在于欧洲的鲸类中。故 D正确。新闻中提到有很多 PCB流入河流和河口，最终流入了海洋环境，故 A“欧洲的水体没有 PCB”与新闻不符。研究人员分析了欧洲海域的 1000多个虎鲸和海豚的样本，并不表示有 1000条虎鲸和海豚携带了 PCB，故 B错误。整篇新

30、闻都涉及了 PCB和环境污染的联系，故 C不对。 【知识模块】 听力 Section B 8 【听力原文】 W: Mark really needs to see this article in Psychology Weekly. M: Why? Whats it on? W: (8)Reasons for negative behavior patterns like procrastination, that is, habitual lateness. M: Youre right. Thats Mark. Hes never on time. So what does it say?

31、 W: That people who are always late often do it for a reason either conscious or unconscious. It could be an expression of anger and resentment or a way of resisting authority. It could even be anxiety. M: Well, I dont know. (9)In Marks case, I think its because he wants to be noticed. W: Thats the

32、next reason in the article the need for attention. They give the example of movie stars who used to make these grand entrances. M: Thats not really Marks style though hes so quiet. W: What gets me is that (10)hes late for his friends all the time but not for other things, like work. M: Well. but the

33、y might deduct pay for that. W: Exactly. You know, (11)sometimes Im tempted to tell him to come at, say, seven, and everybody else at 7:15. Then maybe we wouldnt have to wait so long. M: We have to try something. You know, he confessed to me one day that he was even late for his sisters wedding. She

34、 was really angry. W: I remember that. He was not in the wedding so they couldnt start until he got there. M: Maybe you should slip that magazine under his door anonymously. And hope he gets the message. 8. What is the main subject of the magazine article? 9. What might be the reason for Marks probl

35、em? 10. What do we learn about Marks unusual behavior? 11. What solution does the woman sometimes consider? 8 【正确答案】 C 【试题解析】 注意本题问的是 “杂志里这篇文章的主题是什么 ”，而不是这篇对话的主题。对话开头男士询问： “Whats it on?”意思是 “它是关于什么的 ?”女士回答，它是关于消极行为模式的原因。所以 C正确。 【知识模块】 听力 9 【正确答案】 B 【试题解析】 男士说， Mark的情况是他想被人注意，女士说这是文章中提到的下一种原因，即对于 att

36、ention的需要。因此选 B。 【知识模块】 听力 10 【正确答案】 A 【试题解析】 女士说，让她 生气的是， Mark总是迟到，老让朋友等，而像工作之类的事情却不会迟到。所以 A正确。 【知识模块】 听力 11 【正确答案】 D 【试题解析】 女士说，她有时总想告诉 Mark一个比预定时间早的时间，比如说告诉他 7点钟到，告诉别人 7： 15到，这样大家就不用等他太久，因此答案为D。 get the message意思是 “明白，领会 ”，不是 C中的 leave a message“留口信 ”。 【知识模块】 听力 12 【听力原文】 W: Hello, sir. What can

37、I do for you? M: Hi, Uh. I have this cassette player here that I bought about six months ago. And it just ruined four of my favorite cassettes. W: Oh dear, Im sorry.

Whats wrong with the purchase? 14. Why does the woman refuse the mans request? 15. What does the woman say about the rule? 12 【正确答

42、案】 C 【试题解析】 四个选项都是动词不定式，题目应该是问目的或将做什么。男士说： “我想要你帮我修 it”。此处的 it指代前面提到的 cassette player。所以 C正确。 【知识模块】 听力 13 【正确答案】 D 【试题解析】 结合前后两题的选项，猜测本题选项中的 It应该是指 tape或cassette player，可先排除 C。对话开始男士提到 “它已经弄坏了四盒我最喜欢的磁带 ”，后来又强调 “它确实会吞带 ”。所以 D正确。 【知识模块】 听力 14 【正确答案】 B 【试题解析】 根据选项判断，本题可能是问他 (要求退换货品 )被拒绝的原因。女士一再强调 “你的保

43、修期已经过了 ”。所以 B正确。 【知识模块】 听力 15 【正确答案】 D 【试题解析】 男士说只迟 10天，叫女士稍微通融一下，女士说给他破例，那就得给所有人破例，她在对话最后还说规则就是规则，她很抱歉帮不上忙，可见她认为任何人都不能破坏规则，所以 D正确。 【知识模块】 听力 Section C 16 【听力原文】 (16)Are you looking for a good relationship with someone special?

45、? Because they are all extremes. In a number of research studies, psychologists asked couples these questions. The answers were clear.
