Putting money away for the future also supports the banking system. Banks need a supply of savings to provide money for loans. In the United

13、 States, people who want to start a savings have many choices. Banks, savings-and-loans and credit unions are traditional places to open an account. Credit unions are cooperatives for people who are linked in some way. For example, the members may work for a university or a government agency. Most c

14、redit unions are non-profit organizations. Savers have their money guaranteed up to one hundred thousand dollars. Banks and other financial organizations pay interest on savings accounts. But the interest rates are low. Certificates of deposit are another way to save. They pay higher interest rates.

15、 With a certificate of deposit, a person agrees not to withdraw an amount of money for a period of time. The term could be three months, or it could be several years. Longer terms, and larger amounts, pay higher interest. People can withdraw their money early but at a cost. Another way to save is th

16、rough a money market fund. This is a kind of mutual fund. Mutual funds invest money from many people. Money market funds pay higher interest than savings accounts. The money is usually placed in short-term government securities. Money market funds, however, may not be federally guaranteed like other

17、 kinds of savings. 16. What are the traditional places to open an account in the United States? 17. Which group can form a credit union? 18. Which way of saving may not be federally guaranteed? 1 【正确答案】 D 【试题解析】 短文中说到：传统的可以开账户的场所是银行、储蓄与贷款协会以及信贷互助会。 D与此相符。四个选项均是名词并列成分。不管是问主旨还是问细节，都需要与听到的内容一一对应。读题时，要把

18、各选项之间的异同加以辨别。 【知识模块】 听力篇章 2 【正确答案】 C 【试题解析】 短文中说，信贷互助会是以某种方式联系起来的人们组成的合作社组织，比如，其成员可能都为同一个大学或政府机构工作。尽管四个选项中提到的各类人均 “以某种方式联系 ”着，但与短文中例子一致的只有 C。短 文中的例子是 “为同一个大学或政府机构工作的人 ”， government agency是答题关键。其余选项中的 city， seminar， subject均未在文中出现。 【知识模块】 听力篇章 3 【正确答案】 C 【试题解析】 短文最后说： “然而，货币市场基金可能不像其他存款一样受联邦政府的保证。 ”与

19、此相符的是 C。本题符合 “语义强调处出题 ”的规律。文章结尾处，用 however独立地指出来的项目为答案。 【知识模块】 听力篇章 4 【听力原文】 President Bush spoke on the first anniversary of the change of power from the American-led coalition to an Iraqi government The president called Iraq the “latest battlefield“ in a war against terrorists who hate freedom and

20、 want to control the Middle East. He said, “I know Americans ask the question: Is the sacrifice worth it? It is worth it, and it is vital to the future security of our country.“ Mr. Bush said it would be a “serious mistake“ to set a time limit for withdrawing American forces. He said Iraqis “need to

21、 know that America will not leave before the job is done.“ And he said the enemy would know that all they have to do is wait. Critics have long accused the president of falsely linking Iraq and the September 11th attack as a reason for war. Recently, public opinion research has shown an increase in

22、the numbers of Americans who question the presidents policy on the war. 53% of those in one study done before the speech said it was a mistake to send troops to Iraq. 19. How did President Bush justify the war against Iraq? 20. When will America withdraw its troops according to the passage? 21. What

23、 do we learn about the American peoples attitude toward the war? 4 【正确答案】 C 【试题解析】 短文中提到，布什总统说， “牺牲是值得的，它对我国未来的安全至关重要。 ”这里的 “牺牲 ”指对伊拉克的战争。因此 C正确。四个选项都涉及 “他 ”的谈话内容，核心词汇有 Iraqi， enemy， economic threat threaten， vital，security。可以明显地听到 vital和 future security of our country等词，因而可以确定答案。听到什么选什么。 【知识模块】 听力篇

24、章 5 【正确答案】 D 【试题解析】 短文 中说，布什认为，要为美国从伊拉克撤军设定一个时间期限将会是个 “严重错误 ”。换言之，他认为撤军不受时间限制。选项 D与此一致。时间副词题，根据选项内容听取短文相应信息，听到什么选什么。 【知识模块】 听力篇章 6 【正确答案】 B 【试题解析】 短文结尾处说：最近，公共舆论调：查表明，越来越多的美国人对总统的战争政策提出了质疑。答案是 B。由选项知，本题显然问人们对战争的态度。 supporting， question， (not)care about， against表明了四种态度，是关键词。可以依据听 到的关键词选择答案 .内容绝对化的选项

25、C、 D均可以首先排除。至于 A，要根据短文最后内容 (53的受调查者认为派兵伊拉克是个错误 )予以排除。 【知识模块】 听力篇章 7 【听力原文】 For good or bad, computers are now part of our daily lives. With the price of a small home computer now being lower, experts predict that before long all schools and businesses and most families in the rich parts of the world

26、 will own a computer of some kind. Among the general public, computers arouse strong feelingspeople either love them or hate them. The computer lovers talk about how useful computers can be in business, in education and in the home apart from all the games, you can do your accounts on them, use them

27、 to control your central heating, and in some places even do your shopping with them. Computers, they say, will also bring some leisure, as more and more unpleasant jobs are taken over by computerized robots. The haters, on the other hand, argue that computers bring not leisure but unemployment. The

28、y worry, too, that people who spend all their time talking to computers will forget how to talk to each other. And anyway, they ask, whats wrong with going shopping and learning languages in classroom with real teachers? But their biggest fear is that computers may eventually replace human beings al

29、together. 22. What is the main idea of this passage? 23. What is not mentioned in the passage about computers? 24. What is the biggest fear of the computer haters? 25. Whats the speakers attitude toward computers? 7 【正确答案】 C 【试题解析】 主旨题，短文在引出话题后说： “在一般民众之中，计算机引发了强烈的感情。人们或者喜爱它，或者痛恨它。 ”然后文章分别阐述这两种对立的观点

30、。所以 C正确。一般来说，对于 main idea题目，具有概括性的选项是答案， C符合此特征。做主旨题时特别看重 “第 1句 ”，因此本题 A是强干扰项。只是在本文中， A项提到的内容只是主题的引文，全文是分爱、恨两方面谈论人们对计算机的看法的。作为事实细节， D也符合文章内容，但不合题意。 【知识模块】 听力篇章 8 【正确答案】 A 【试题解析】 短文提到，计算机对企业、教育和家庭有用，计算机化的机器人可以代替人做没意思的工作，计算机还会带来失业。 B、 C、 D均有提及， A是答案。 【知识模块】 听力篇章 9 【正确答案】 D 【试题解析】 短文最后说：痛恨计算机的人最大的担忧在于，

31、终究有一天计算机会完全取代人类。 D与此相符 “语义强调 ”的内容常是解题关键。听到原文由的their biggest fear，就得特别留神 !听到什么选什么。 【知识模块】 听力篇章 10 【正确答案】 D 【试题解析】 短文说话人对正反两边的意见均给于客观介绍，没有明显的偏向性，因此其态度是中立的，答案是 D。 A、 C项含义一致，可以直接排除。由昕过的短文可知，说话人并不反对计算机，故也可以排除 B。 【知识模块】 听力篇章 11 【听力原文】 As more and more people lose their jobs, now is perhaps the time to con

32、sider the experience of unemployment. What are the first feelings? Well, losing a job, or not being able to find one, almost always brings unwelcome changes. As well as the loss of income, many people find the whole routine of their life is shattered, their contact with other people reduced, their a

33、mbitions halted and their identity as a worker removed. At first there may be good feelings too a new and better job is just around the corner its nice to be able to lie in bed in the morning or spend more time with the children; have more time to think. But, unless a better job does turn up, the ch

34、ances are the days start getting longer and time becomes harder to fill. Many people pass through periods of difficulty in sleeping and eating. They feel irritable and depressed, often isolated and lonely. Despite all these problems though, unemployment can be a chance for a fresh start. You can dis

35、cover that it provides an opportunity to sort out or rethink what you want from life and how best you can get it. You can use the time to plan how to find a new job, learn a new skill, develop your hobbies or see if you can run your own business. 16. What are the first feelings when one is jobless?

36、17. What do the unemployed feel before finding a new job? 18. What does the speaker try to tell us? 11 【正确答案】 A 【试题解析】 短 文说：失去工作几乎总是会带来一些令人不快的变化。收入减少之外，许多人还发现整个生活常规全打乱了，与别人的接触减少，雄心受挫，还失去了工作者的身份。 A正确。四个陈述句选项，各自的主语都不相同，选项的主要词汇也没有什么关联。由此可以推测的是，本题应该问细节而非主旨 (主旨题各选项中的词语总会相互关联。可以 “听到什么选什么 ”。短文中的设问句 What ar

37、e the first feelings?之后出现了 A中的原词，也属于在语义强调之处出题。 【知识模块】 听力篇章 12 【正确答案】 A 【试题解 析】 短文中说到：但是如果不能找到一个更好的工作的话，日子可能会变得漫长，时间也变得更难以打发。由此选 A。 A、 B、 C三个选项说 “时间 ”， D说 “业余爱好 ”。 A、 B语义矛盾， B、 C其实语义一致 (等价 )。由选项自身可以初步判断答案是 A。 But转折处出题。 【知识模块】 听力篇章 13 【正确答案】 C 【试题解析】 短文在前两个段落谈到失业的不良影响后，在第三段说 “失业也是一个新的开始的机会 ”，谈如何利用失业重新

38、开始，故答案是 C。 A、 B内容矛盾，各执一词，但太绝对化，故不能是答案。 【知识模 块】 听力篇章 14 【听力原文】 From the beginning of human history, people have used oils from seeds and nuts. Most of the time these oils are used as food, especially in cooking. But sometimes they have other uses. For example, oils are found in paint and in cleaning

39、products, like soap. Oil is separated from seeds by using pressure. A machine called a press is often used. Sometimes it is surprising to learn how much oil the seeds contain. Sesame, cotton and sunflower seeds, for example, all contain at least 50% oil. Soybean is an important seed around the world

40、, but it is only 20% oil. So chemicals are needed to release oil from soybeans. The first step in pressing the oil from seeds is to crush the seeds between two stones. A cloth container or bag is filled with the crushed seeds. Then the bag is hung up. Some of the oil will flow out of the bag and can

41、 be collected. But some oil will remain in the crushed seeds inside the bag. The easiest way to get the rest of the oil out is to place heavy rocks on the crushed material. Oil can also be collected with small, hand-operated machines. Small presses are important in areas where electricity or gasolin

42、e cannot be used. They are also a good way to test if a local market for oil exists. 19. What use of oil is NOT mentioned in the postage? 20. How much oil does soybean contain? 21. Which of the following is the best title for the passage? 14 【正确答案】 C 【试题解析】 短文第 2句开始谈植物油的用处，提到了 cooking， paint和cleanin

43、g products，只有 C项未提及，因而它就是答案。 【知识模块】 听力篇章 15 【正确答案】 D 【试题解析】 短文提到 ，大豆的含油量为 20%，故选 D。百分比作选项，难点不在猜测问题是什么类型，而在于对文中出现的每个百分比 (50%和 20 )做出准确的笔记。在听到问题后才能根据笔记作答。 【知识模块】 听力篇章 16 【正确答案】 A 【试题解析】 短文第 1句指出，人类使用植物 (种子 )油有着漫长的历史。然后谈到植物油的用途，主要的植物油来源以及如何提取植物油，因此，本文的主题是A。从选项的高度概括性来看，本题当问文章的主旨大意。核心词是 oil，然后每个选项都给出了另一个

44、关键词： seeds， market， food， soybean。本文多处提到oil和 seeds，因此不难选出答案。其他几项的关键词只是文章中的局部内容，不能充当主题。 【知识模块】 听力篇章 17 【听力原文】 A new book by two professors at Pennsylvania State University compares public education systems around the world. The book is called National Differences, Global Similarities: World Culture a

45、nd the Future of Schooling. David Baker and Gerald LeTendre led a group of researchers who gathered information on about 50 countries. Some findings came from the Third International Mathematics and Science Study. That study took place in 1994 and again five years later. The professors say education

46、 is increasingly shaped by what they call “transnational forces“. Officials in many countries are concerned about how their students compare with students in other countries. Each part of the book develops a different subject researched in schools around the world. One of the subjects is violence am

47、ong students. The professors say countries with the most school violence include Hungary, Romania and the Philippines. They say the United States is somewhere in the middle, above nations like New Zealand, Canada, South Korea, Spain and Australia The findings are based on reports from students. Prof

48、essor Baker says inequalities in educational systems act as an influence. He says schools that are sharply divided between “winners and losers“ in math have higher levels of violence. “This does not mean that nations should stop trying to raise scores,“ he says. “But they should be careful to raise

49、the performance among all students.“ 22. What is the title of the book? 23. What can we learn about the book from the passage? 24. Where did the study find the most school violence? 25. Which opinion would Professor Baker support? 17 【正确答案】 C 【试题解析】 C是由短文提到的书名照搬下来的选项。四个选项都是专有名词，或者问短 文的主旨大意，或者问别的什么标题。 C、 D的差异只在一个词上(similarities与 differences)，听录音时要多注意。 【知识模块】 听力篇章 18 【正确答案】 D 【试题解析】 短文第 1句即提到：宾夕法尼亚州立大学的两位教授的一本新书比较了世界各地的公共教育体制。因此 D正确。短文第 1句往往是出题的重点。听到什么选什么。 【知识模块】 听力篇章 19 【正确答案】 B 【试题解析】 文中提到： “两位教授说，校园暴力最多的国家包括匈牙利、罗马尼亚和菲律宾。 ”因此 B正确。读题可知，本题问到几个国家名称，这几个国家有着某种共同点。听音时，可一
