best answer 1 M Remember the film I told you about last night All the tickets are sold out W What a shame They say the young actress is an eye catcher Q What does the woman mean C 从对话中可知 女士很想看这部电影 因为片中的演员是个 eye catcher 引人 注目的人 可惜没能买到电影票 故选 C 2 M Do you want a day course or an evening course W Well it has to be an evening course since I work during the day Q What are they talking about B 这是个主旨型的对话 关键词是 course 当问及想上白天的课还是晚上的课时 女士说因为白天要工作 因此想上晚上的课 所以讨论的话题应该是准备上的 课程 3 W Where can we meet to discuss our project We have got to finish it before next Monday M Well how about the snack bar at noon I have a meeting to attend now Q What does the man suggest B 在这个对话中 女士想和男士商讨某项目 而男士回答说现在要开会 接 着建议中午在小吃部见面 How about 是典型的建议类句型 因此答案应为 B 4 M We had a heated debate about cheating on campus yesterday W Had I known I might have joined you Q What does the woman mean D 女士的回答是一个倒装虚拟 意思是 要是我知道了就来参加了 说明女 士很遗憾没能来参加讨论 5 W You don t feel very well do you You look pale Have you got a cold M Oh no

job How many hours do you have to work How much do you earn M 70 pounds a month for 40 hours a week Q How much can the man earn for a year D 在这个对话中 女士询问男士的收入 男士回答 每个月 70 英镑 由此不难 计算出 他一年的收入应为 70 12 即 840 英镑 因此 D 为正确答案 7 W Is the doctor in I have a sore throat M I am afraid he is not available now Let s see if we can get you in this afternoon Q Who might be the man D 从对话中可知女士要找医生 男士在帮她安排 由此可见男士不是医生 也不是医生的朋友 更不是病人 只有可能是 D 医生的助手 8 M Karen don t you take an alarm clock with you when you travel W No I don t bother with that I just have the hotel desk ring my room in the morning Q What does Karen do when she travels D 女士的回答中出现的 have sb do 是使动句型 动词词组中的 ring my room 动作的发出这是 the hotel desk 旅馆服务台 因此很容易得出答案为 D Questions 9 to 12 are based on the conversation you have just heard Conversation One M Good

China She has about 170 000 people living on the 26 000 square kilometer land For most of her history she belonged to Great Britain and was called British Honduras About 20 years ago she changed her name back to her dear old name of Belize In 1981 she gained full independence She lies on the north of all the countries in Central America just south of Mexico and east of Guatemala She looks out on the Caribbean Sea Her land stretches for 80 kilometers from eastern coast to the mountainous border with Guatemala in the west Belize s geography is a mixture of mountains rivers and sea Some of her land is rich and some poor Her people consist of Mays Indian black Africans Asians Europeans and Americans Besides their native language all Belizeans speak English Belize has a fine education system She is well known for her people s high literacy rate All the children are required to finish primary schools Belize is a peaceful country The present government encourages a mixed economy and support private enterprises and sees to the social health and education needs of the people Questions 16 to 18 are based on the passage you have just heard 16 Where is Belize located A 细节题 文中的第二段第一句 She lies on the north of all the countries in Central America just south of Mexico and east of Guatemala 便是答案 17 What do you know about the education in Belize B 细节题 文中此句 She is well known for her people s high literacy rate 与答案 B 同义 18 Which of the following is true according to the passage B 综合推断题 从文中的一些细节 belonged to Great Britain In 1981 she gained full independence 便可推断出 B 为正确答案 Passage Two In our society children s large purchasing power is drawing more and more attention Behind their pocket money there is a huge market Manufacturers are happy to find it advertisement agencies begin to research their language and films are made for them As a massive consuming body children are mad about keeping up with the Joneses Most of them have their own bank account at the age of 10 How can we account for this What s the root of their purchasing power The No 1 reason lies in parental weakness The parents mostly adopt a permissive way of bringing up their children more tolerant and with less discipline Therefore the children are able to choose what they want more freely The second reason is that in our society divorce rate keeps rising The less quality time a parent spends with their children the more guilty he or she will feel and the more pocket money the kids will get The third reason most mothers now choose to work and when they are back from work they are nearly exhausted so they will easily give in to their children s demands Maybe it s no big problem but if it goes too far negative effects will follow The children s consuming habits will later make them demanding guys unwilling to compromise They will make up a selfish and a materialistic race Questions 19 to 21 are based on the passage you have just heard 19 How does the speaker feel about children s purchasing power D 综合理解题 对于孩子们的购买力文中没有直接提到 但从文章第二段的 几个问题便可以得出答案 D 20 According to the passage who are happy about children s purchasing power A 细节题 Manufacturers are happy to find it advertisement agencies begin to research their language 从这两句话即可得出答案为 A 21 Why are some parents guilt ridden A 细节题 此题的答案其实就是文中提到的第二个原因 离婚率上升 父母 没有时间陪孩子 因此感到内疚 故选 A Passage Three William Shakespeare was christened in the market town of Stratford on Avon Warwickshire on April 26th 1564 traditionally his actual birthday was three days earlier on St George s day the same day as his death fifty two years later His father John was a respected middle class trader and his mother Mary Arden came from a family of local landowners It seems probable that young William received a fair education at the local Grammar School at the age of eighteen he married a girl eight years older than himself Anne Hathaway who gave him a child the following year and twins in 1585 Little else is known of his early life and so we cannot tell what made him decide to leave Stratford in 1586 for London where he stayed until 1611 In London he must soon have attracted attention because by 1592 he was a writer and actor popular enough to be laughed at by an older dramatist as an uneducated Jack of all trades He is mentioned as being among the principal actors of the city as early as 1598 and in 1599 we find that he is a member of the company running the Globe Theater with one tenth interest in the profits showing a business sense rarely seen in his fellow writers His popularity is indicated by the fact that not only were his own plays published under his name which was a rare procedure in his day but also plays by others are to be found attributed to him as if to indicate that his name alone would promise a good sale Questions 22 to 25 are based on the passage you have just heard 22 When did William Shakespeare die D 推断题 文章开头告诉我们莎士比亚实际出生于 1564 年 4 月 23 日 52 年 后即 1616 年后的同一天去世 所以答案是 D 23 When did Shakespeare and his wife have their first child A 细节题 根据文中的 at the age of eighteen he married a girl eight years older than himself Anne Hathaway who gave him a child the following year 得知他们于 1582 年结婚 次年得子 答案应是 A 本题和上一题都考查了学生对年份日期 的捕捉能力 24 Which one can you infer from the passage C 推断题 本题可用排除法 根据文章的前半部分 得知大家对莎士比亚的 早期生活了解一些 排除 A 再根据文中的句子如 Little else is known of his early life In London he must soon have attracted attention because by 1592 he was a writer and actor popular enough 排除 B 和 D 确定答案是 C 25 Which of the following statements is true B 细节题 根据文中的 in 1599 we find that he is a member of the company running the Globe Theater with one tenth interest in the profits showing a business sense rarely seen in his fellow writers 判断得知答案是 B Section C Directions In this section you will hear a
