In the first place, they can enrich our life and relieve us from the daily routine so that we can throw ourselves into work and study more energetically with higher efficiency. In the second place, recreational activities can provide us with opportunities to make more Mends and share our unique life experiences. Undoubtedly, these recreational activities can also cause problems, one of which is the heavy addiction of adolescents to computer games at the expense of their school work.As a university student, I hold that certain recreational activities like sports and singing competition are really beneficial to us and we can take part in them on the condition that our time is well organized. Surely, those that do harm to us should be avoided.随着社会的发展和人;们生活水平 的提高，我们可接触到各种各样的娱乐 活动。公众对此的担忧也越来越多。如果我们要保持身心健康，娱乐活 动是必不可少的。其优点数不胜数。首 先，娱乐活动可以丰富我们的生活，让 我们从日常杂事中解脱出来，这样我们 才能更高效、更有精力地投入到工作和 学习中去。其次，娱乐活动能给我们提 供机会去认识更多的朋友和分享我们 独特的生活经验。毫无疑问，这些娱乐 活动也会产生一些问题，其中之一就是 青少年以牺牲学业为代价，过度沉迷于 电脑游戏中。作为一名大学生，我认为只要合理 安排好时间，参加一定的娱乐活动，如 体育运动和唱歌比赛，对我们来说都是 很有益的。当然，那些对我们有害的活 动也要避免。a wide variety of各种各样的innumerable /inju:marebl/ a无数的 addiction /aedikjan/ n瘾，沉禪 at the expense of.以为代价indispensable Aindispensebl/ 必不可少的 relieve /rilhv/ v(使轻松，使宽慰 adolescent /.aedelesant/ ii.青少年 on the condition that 如果，条件是万能句囊i.接触某事物：1.

D【定位】根据题干中的increase in the number of TV channels查找到小标题Television下的第2段倒数第3句。【解析】该句中的This指的是上一句的内容，包括“观众可收看的频道更多了”，题干对应的正是这一内容，该 句resulted in后的内容就是本题的解题依据所在，D是对原文an increase in., exposed的同义替换，故选D。3. B【定位】根据题干中的Compared with television，newspapers查找到小标题Newspapers下的第2段第1句。【解析】B是原文中communicate a longer，more detailed message的意思，故为答案。本题信息比较明显。4. C【定位】根据题干中的Advertising on radio和grow查找到小标题Radio下的第1段(第1句）。【解析】该段第1句先介绍现象，后文解释原因，C是对该段最后两句的概括。要正确理解C中easy access, to的 意思。5.

B【定位】根据题干中的 Outrf-home advertising和 more effective查找到小标题 Out-of-home advertising 下的第1句。【解析】原文该句提到消费者比过去更积极主动了，B是对more active than ever before的同义替换，故为 答案。第4句中的travel出现在B中，有助于进一步确定答案。原文说广告牌制作公司2小时就能印刷一个 广告牌，A利用two hours进行干扰，意思与原文不符；原文只是说广告牌信息有更多变化，但并没有 attractive这层意思，故排除C;原文没有提到生活节奏这方面的内容，可排除D。7.

M: Today is a bad day for me. I fell off a step and twisted my ankle.W: Don worry, usually ankle injuries heal quickly if you stop regular activities for a while.Q: What does the woman suggest the man do?A 【解析】女士说如果这段时间你停下日常活动，脚踝的伤很快就会好的，与A“让脚踝好好休息”一致。【点睛】通读四个选项可知对话内容与受伤有关，要留意受伤后的应对方法。解题要点在于听清楚stop的否定 含义Q B中的treat. immediately和D中的careful都是无中生有；C的意思正好与原文相反。12. W: May I see your ticket please? I think youre sitting in my seat.M: Oh, youre right. My seat is in the balcony. Fm terribly sorry.Q: Where does the conversation most probably take place?C 【解析】关键词是ticket和balcony balcony此处的意思是“戏院等的楼厅或包厢”，故答案为C。【点睛】预读选项可知本题提问对话地点，听音时要抓听特殊场景词汇。在听力材料中，多义词balcony的常用 意义是“包厢，（戏院）楼厅”而不是“阳台”，往往与“剧院”场景有关。13. W: Did you hear Jay Smith died in his sleep last night?M: Yes, its very sad. Please let everybody know that whoever wants to may attend the funeral.Q: What are the speakers talking about?B 【解析】抓听到关键词died, sad，funeral即可选出答案B。【点睛】话题往往由第一个人提出，重要信.息往往多次出现，捕捉到任何一处均可解决问题。其实答案中的sad词 也是听到的，使得本题难度大大降低，即使不懂funeral是“葬礼”的意思也问题不大。“睡眠中去世”不是“惨剧”，不 可选A。14. M: Have you taken Professor Yang exam before? Tm kind of nervous.W: Yes. Just concentrate on the important ideas shes talked about in class and ignore the details.Q: How does the woman suggest the man prepare for Professor Yangs exam?D 【解析】女士说抓住要点，忽略细节，正好是D的意思:focus与concentrate同义，main points与important ideas同义。【点睛】预读选项可知话题与学习有关。四个选项均用了动词原形短语形式，可推断考建议、要求等。A与事实 相反，B、C均未提及。15. W: Im so sorry sir，and youll let me pay to have your jacket cleaned, wont you?M: Thats all right It could happen to anyone. And Tm sure that coffee doesnt leave lasting marks on clothing.Q: What can we infer from the conversation?D【解析】女士提出出钱负责洗净男士的夹克衫，男士说这种事情谁都会碰到的，而且衣服上的咖啡渍不会洗不掉 的。可见当时的场景是女士把咖啡泼撒在男士身上了，选D。【点睛】预读选项可推断对话话题涉及女士向男士赔礼道歉。推断题要抓听关键信息。A、B无依据；女士说出钱 洗男士的夹克衫，而C错在说女士出钱给男士买咖啡。16. W: Have you seen the movie The Departed The plot was so complicated that I really got lost.M: Yeah, I felt the same, but after I saw it a second time, I could put all the pieces together.Q: How did the two speakers find the movie?B【解析】本题关键在于听懂女士说电影情节复杂，她看不懂，然后男士说他有同感。因此选B【点睛】预读选项可推断本题提问某人对某事物（由plot 词猜测可能是电影）的看法如何有关。A中的tedious 没有依据;C是利用原词plot进行干扰；根据转折词之后的信息可排除D。17. M: Fm really surprised you got an A on the test; you didn seem to have done a lot of reading.W: Now you know why I never missed a lecture.Q: What contributes to the womans high score?A 【解析】男士说很惊讶女士考试得分为A，因为她似乎不怎么看书，女士回答说因为她“从不落下一节课”。因此选A。【点睛】预读选项可知本题提问与学习、考试有关。A正与考点构成同义表达。问题中的contribute to表示“导 致，造成”，也要听懂。18. W: Have you heard about the new digital television system? It lets people get about 500 channels.M: Yeah. But I doubt they?ll have anything different from what we watch now.Q: What does the man mean?D【解析】男士说他认为新的数字电视系统所提供的东西与他们现在观看的内容不会有什么区别，D与此一致：21. What is the warning from the police?C【解析】警方警告人们，特别是领养老金的人，不要 让任何人人室，除非事先有预约。故选C。【点睛】动词不定式选项，多问表示目的的动作。若因 内容多未能回忆出警察所说的具体内容，可根据通 篇对话的主旨答题。A、B与对话主旨不相关；D则是 误导，对话针对的是假冒电力公司的人，而非真正的 电力公司的人。22. What does the woman speaker tell us about the old lady?C【解析】浏览选项可知，本题询问的是某位女士的遭 遇，因此当听到对话中提到一位老太太时，很自然 就对应到本题中去，不难选出正确答案C。【点睛】对话讲匪徒乔装入室盗窃，-A、B、D所述地点 均不在家中，故均可轻松排除。若仅凭听到的只言片 语作答，则易误选。【点睛】doubt“不相信”表示对后面所跟内容的否定，而且由转折词But也能听出不赞成的意思，可首先排除B。A 的内谷与男士的话正好矛盾。新的数字电视系统确定可以提供500个频道，这并非是unrealistic，故C也不妥。Now youll hear the two long conversations.Conversation OneW: Gosh!

How did the man mentioned in the newspaper try to win further trust from the victims?D 【解析】女士说很难防备此类窃贼，特别是当他们向 你出示证件的时候。故答案为D“出示身份证”。【点睛】动词-iw容分词选项，要注意对话中提到的相关动作。B、C毫无依据;A是利用对话结尾处的accent进行原词干扰。Conversation TwoM: Miss Jones, could you tell me more about f231your first job with hotel marketing concepts?W: Yes, certainly. 2311 was a marketing consultant responsible for marketing 10 UK hotels.

This is hardly a lonesome complaint. According to the families and work institutes, national study of the changing workforce, 55 percent of employees say they dont have enough time for themselves, 63 percent dont have enough time for their spouses or partners, and 67 percent don have enough time for their children. 27118 also not a new complaint. I bet our ancestors returned home from hunting wild animals and gathering nuts and complained about how little time they had to paint battle scenes on their cave walls. The difference is that the boss of animal hunting and the head of nut gathering probably told them to shut up or no survival for you. Todays workers are still demanding control over their time. The difference is todays bosses are listening. Ive been reading a report issued today called “When Work Worksproduced jointly by three organizations. 281They set up to find and award the employers who employ the most creative and most effective ways to give their workers flexibility. I found this report worth reading and suggest every boss should read it for ideas.26. What is the speaker complaining about?A【解析】文章开篇就提到，时间的缺乏给人挫败感。而且全文都在围绕这一主题而展开。所以选A。 【点睛】短文听力的开头很重要，本文高频关键词为 time。凭四个选项的中心词即可准确答题。27. What does the speaker say about our ancestors?

The more you give, the more you get, the more you want to give/ Penelope Leachwon said. What she said proves to be true of my blended family. I was bom in 1931. As the youngest of six children, I learned to share my parents love. f291Raising six children during the difficult times of the Great Depression took its toll on my parents, relationship and resulted in their divorce when I was 18 years old. Daddy never had very close relationships with his children and drifted even farther away from us after the divorce. Several years later, a wonderM woman came into his life and they were married. She had two sons, one of them still at home. Under her influence, we became a blended family and a good relationship developed between the two families.
