Test 7Section A11. W: Theres a great movie on TV tonight. Do you want to watch it?M: Id rather not if its on at the same time as the football match.Q: What does the man imply?【解析】选A。男士表示如果电影和足球比赛同时放，他宁可不看电影。可见他更喜欢收看体育节目。would rather not表示“宁可不”。12. M: I cant understand why Im getting so far behind.W: Well, you know sometimes with all the fun and good times at university, it is easy to lose track of why you are here.Q: What does the woman infer the man should do?【解析】选D。lose track of.本意是“脱离的轨道”，结合with all the fun and good times at university推断，lose track of why you are here应是指背离了来大学的初衷。男士不明白自己为什么落后了那么多，女士帮他分析原因的同时其实还在暗示他要专注于上大学的初衷，好好学习，而不要被玩乐拖了后腿。选项D正确。13. W: How about going skiing with us? Were planning to do a bit of snowboarding too.M: It sounds like fun. But Id better tell you, Ive never been on a snowboard and Im not much a skier, either.Q: What does the man imply?【解析】选C。It sounds like fun表明男士愿意一道去滑雪，但从never been on a snowboard及not much a skier, either推断，他对此并不擅长。选项C与此相符，为答案。snowboarding指“单板滑雪”。14. W: Im trying to finish these practice test questions but Ive still got about 12 questions to do. At this rate, Ill be burning the midnight oil if I hope to finish. M: Oh, that explains why youve been hiding in here. You probably havent heard that the professor postponed the exam until further notice. Q: What does the man mean? 【解析】选A。until further notice“直到进一步通知” will inform everyone when itll be held，选项A与对话相符。burn the midnight oil指“开夜车”。15. W: That picture flatters Susan very much. Dont you think so?M: No, I dont. As a matter of fact, it makes her a little older than she really is.Q: What does the woman think of the picture?【解析】选D。本题问的女士对照片的看法。That picture flatters sb. That picture beautifies sb.，指“照片照得比本人漂亮”，因此选项D正确。16. M: Youve certainly done a lot of research for your project.W: It seems like a lot, but actually Ive just scratched the surface.Q: What does the woman mean?【解析】选C。scratch the surface的本意是“略懂皮毛”，结合男士说的Youve certainly done a lot of research推测，女士说的Ive just scratched the surface应是指 她做的工作还远远不够(far from enough)，选项C正确。17. W: Im so excited that I cant sleep at night.M: Id be excited too if I had my passport, visa and boat ticket.Q: What do we learn about the woman? 【解析】选D。结合passport“护照”，visa“签证”和boat ticket“船票”推测，女士是所以兴奋得睡不着是因为她快要出国了，选项D正确。18.

Most of the lessons are on cassette tapes, but some of them are also on long reel tapes of records. The cassettes are kept in order on these shelves, and they are clearly numbered with the language and the lesson number. For example, the cassettes in the green boxes are French lessons.

What is the woman?【解析】选C。选项表明该题是就某人的身份或工作提问。后三个选项均与学校中的老师或学生有关，A与其他三项明显不同，故可初步排除。由对话中女士所说的you were looking for a student to work.以及I apply可推知女士是一名学生，故选C。D是针对对话中提出的laboratory assistant设的干扰项。20. What is the mans opinion of the language laboratory?【解析】选D。选项表明该题可能与语音室的具体工作有关。A、B、D都涉及到了具体的工作，C只讲到了与其他语音室的不同，与主题无关，故可初步排除。由对话中男士所说的ours is a small one, and its fairly easy to operate可推知他认为语音室操作很简单，故选D。A是针对对话中提到的French设的干扰项。B在对话中没有涉及。21. What will the woman do right now?【解析】选B。选项均以动词原形开头表明该题考查行为动作。听音过程中发现B正是对对话中女士所说的Ill fill out an application for this job right now的同义转述，因此答案为B。A与女士说的It would fit into my schedule nicely矛盾。Conversation TwoM: Do you think young people are given too much freedom nowadays, and that as a result theyve lost respect for their parents and their elders generally?W: I dont thinks so. My parents never interfered with my plans too much. They advised me but never forced me to do anything I didnt want to do. I was allowed to take up the career I wanted. I think I respect and love them more for this.M: Are you quite independent of them now?W: Yes. As soon as I left school and started my studies as a nurse I became independent financially. I have a government grant. It is enough for my daily life. But I still stay with them a lot, as you know.M: You seem very close to your parents.W: I am. Many young people today say they have nothing in common with their parents, but Im rather lucky because I get on very well with mine. What about you?M: Well, we value family life very much in my country. Im very fond of my family, but I dont always get on very well with them. They try to control me too much.W: But they allow you to come to study in England on your own.M: Yes, but only after a lot of persuasion! Your parents treat you as an adult; my parents treat me as a child.W: As I said, Im lucky. Some English parents are like yours. They interfere too much and they just refuse to understand our generation.Questions 22 to 25 are based on the conversation you have just heard.22. According to the woman, why does she respect their parents?【解析】选B。选项表明该题可能考查女士与父母之间保持良好关系或女士尊重父母的原因。前三项都直接或间接涉及到了父母，D没有涉及到父母，与其他三项明显不同，故可初步排除。由对话中的They.never forced me to do anything I didnt want to do.I respect and love them more for this可推知答案是B。23. What happened when the woman began to study nursing?【解析】选A。选项表明该题可能考查女士在发生某件事之后与父母的关系。前三项都涉及到了女士与父母的关系，D只是说她自己一个人租房子住，与父母关系不大，故可初步排除。由对话中女士所说的I left school.I became independent financially. I have a government grant. It is enough for my daily life推断，女士学习护士后在经济上就可以自立了，故选A。C是针对对话中I still stay with them a lot设的干扰项。24. What attitude did the mans parents have towards his study abroad?【解析】选C。选项表明该题可能考查男士的父母对男士出国的态度。A与C的观点完全相反，根据命题规律可知两个观点完全相反的选项中很可能有一个是答案。由对话中女士说的they allow you to come to study in England on your own及男士的回答Yes, but only after a lot of persuasion推断，男士的父母是经男士劝说后才同意他出国学习的，故选C。B是针对my parents treat me as a child设的干扰项。25. What can we learn from the conversation?【解析】选A。根据常识可知父母干涉子女的事情在任何国家都有可能发生，故C中的never语气太绝对，可初步排除。由女士所说的they allow you to come to study in England及Some English parents are like yours可推知女士来自英国，男士来自英国以外的其他国家，故选A。B和D都是根据男士所说的Im very fond of my family, but I dont always get on very well with them设的干扰项。 Section BPassage OneIt is a great privilege for me to be invited to speak at the tenth year reunion of State Universitys graduating class. When you arrived on campus today, after a decade, you were probably impressed by two changes at State: one, the absence of University of Tower, the first building constructed on the campus, and a historic landmark for many years; and two, the disappearance of parking lots on main campus.Two years ago University Tower was inspected and found to be unsafe. In spite of efforts to restore it, it was necessary to level the building. A bell tower was constructed on the same site, built for the most part using the good brick that was saved from the original building. The original bells were also preserved. As for the parking lots, they have been replaced by grass, trees, and pedestrian walkways. Parking is now located in parking garages on the North and West sides of the campus.Two more subtle changes have occurred within the past decade. One is the creation and expansion of the Division of Continuing Education for the Community, including a Saturday and summer enrichment program for children, and an afternoon and evening special interest program for adult. The other is the addition of the student population of many young people from abroad, especially students from Japan, Latin America, and the Middle East. Most international students are enrolled in the College of Engineering and the College of Business.And so, State is a different place, but like University Tower, it is built of the same brick. We are still committed to the same age old ideals “quality education for our citizens”, but we have extended our commitment beyond the borders of our state and nation to encompass the citizens and nations of the world. Questions 26 to 29 are based on the passage you have just heard.26. What is the occasion for the mans speech?【解析】选B。由短文首句It is great privilege for me to be invited to speak at the tenth year reunion of State Universitys graduating class可知，男士的演讲是在一次毕业十年后的班级聚会上发表的，选项B正确。27. In what aspect does State University remain the same?【解析】选C。文中的We are still committed to the same age old ideals “quality education for our citizens”表明，State University多年来恪守的理念(为国民提供素质教育)没有变，选项C为本题答案。28. Why was University Tower torn down?【解析】选B。根据文中提到的Two years ago University Tower was inspected and found to be unsafe可知，University Tower之所以被拆倒是因为它被发现很不安全，正确选项为B。29. What is the main idea of the mans speech?【解析】选C。短文前半部分主要讲述校园内大的变化：University Tower的重建；停车场挪位，代之的是草场、树木和人行道。接下来介绍了学校的一些小的变化：社区继续教育机构的创建和扩大；国外 留学生数量日益增多。最后的And so, State is a different place, but like University Tower, it is built of the same brick. We are still committed to the same age old ideals “quality education for our citizens是全文的主题句，说话人意在强调：虽然校园里发生了一些变化，但State University多年来恪守的理念没有变，选项C正确。Passage TwoOne of the most popular literary figures in American literature is a woman who spent almost half of her long life in China, a country on a continent thousands of miles from the Unite States. In her lifetime she earned this countrys most highly acclaimed literary award, the Pulitzer Prize, and also the most prestigious form of literary recognition in the world, the Nobel Prize for Literature. Pearl S. Buck was almost a household word throughout much of her lifetime because of her productive literary output, which consisted of some eighty-five published works, including several dozen novels, six collections of short stories, fourteen books for children and more than a dozen works of nonfiction. When she was eighty years old, some twenty-five volumes were awaiting publication. Many of those books were set in China, the land in which she spent so much of her life. Her books and her life served as a bridge between the cultures of the East and the West. As the product of those two cultures she became as she described herself, “mentally double-sided”. Her unique background made her into an unusually interesting and versatile human being. As we examine the life of Pearl Buck, we cannot help but be aware that we are in fact meeting three separate people: a wife and mother, an internationally famous writer and a humanitarian and a charitable person. One cannot really get to know Pearl Buck without learning about each of the three. Though honored in her lifetime with the William Dean Howell Medal of the American Academy of Arts and Letters in addition to the Nobel and Pulitzer prizes, Pearl Buck as a total human being, not only a famous author, is a fascinating subject of study. Questions 30 to 32 are based on the passage you have just heard. 30. What is the authors main purpose in the passage?【解析】选C。本文除了历数赛珍珠(Pearl Buck)的文学成就外，主要介绍了她的写作背景(a product of two cultures)以及她广泛的兴趣关注(a wife and mother, an internationally famous writer and a humanitarian and a charitable person)。选项C是对此的最佳概括，为答案。31. According to the passage, why was Pearl Buck considered an unusual figurein American literature?【解析】选A。文中提到，Many of those books were set in China. Her books and her life served as a bridge between the cultures of the East and the West，由此可知，赛珍珠之所以被认为是美国文学史上的非凡人物是因为她的写作主要涉及一种完全不同的文化，A项正确。32. What is the authors attitude toward Pearl Buck?【解析】选B。作者在文中介绍赛珍珠时，频频流露出钦佩赞赏的语气，如One of the most popular literary figures in American literature，an unusually interesting and versatile human being, honored in her lifetime, a famous author, a fascinating subject of study.，因此本题答案为B。Passage ThreeMillions of years ago, whales lived on land and walked on four legs. Today, whales still have small bones that are the remains of their hind legs, but these bones can only be seen on the inside of the whale. No one knows why whales left the land to live in the water.However, scientists can imagine that when the whales changed their environment, their bodies underwent a change taking on a more fish-like appearance. This new form offered less resistance to the water, enabling the whales to swim faster.Despite their fish like form, whales are not fish. A whale will drown, just as a man will, if it stays under water too long. When a whale is under water, it closes its nostrils tightly and holds its breath. The air in its lungs becomes very hot and full of water vapor. When the whale rises to the surface and exhales, its hot breath produces a column of water vapor that rises high in the air. A man produces the same effect when he exhales warm air on a cold morning.Whales are classified as mammals because they bear their young, rather than laying eggs, and because the mother whales give the babies milk. Like other mammals, whales have warm blood. Their blood stays at the same temperature, even when they move from hot to cold water. They keep warm in cold water because they have a thick layer of fat just under their skins. This fat is called blubber, and it is thicker on whales that spend their lives in cold water. Almost all land mammals, except man, have hair on their bodies to keep them warm, but whales, which have very few hairs, are kept warm by their fat.Questions 33 to 35 are based on the passage you have just heard.33. How does a whale keep itself warm?【解析】选A。根据文中提到的they keep warm because they have a thick layer of fat just under their skins可知，鲸靠皮下的一层厚厚的 脂肪取暖，A为答案。34. What do we learn about the blood temperature of a whale?【解析】选B。文中提到的Their blood stays at the sane temperature, even.表明，鲸的体温是衡定不变的，选项B正确。35. In what way do whales distinguish themselves from other land mammals?【解析】选A。从短文的末句Almost all land mammals, except man, have hair on their bodies to keep them warm, but whales, which have very few hairs, are kept warm by their fat可以得知，鲸和其他哺乳动物的区别在于：其他哺乳动物靠身
