The food and drinks were great, but if only we had known a few the other guests.Q: What did the two speakers say a

2、bout the party?【解析】选B。选项表明对话与参加party的感受有关。B、C、D都是关于party的不足之处，只有 A 是对 party 完全的肯定，故可初步排除。听音时需留意以下要点：不足 knew none; food and drinks ； long way。本题的关键在于搞清说话人是对party的哪方面不太满意。本题是在 but 转折处命题。 but 后往往表达说话人的真实意图，常为考查重点。女士 通过虚拟语气 “if only we had known ,(要是我们认识几个其他的客人就好了) ”来表达一 种遗憾，其中隐含的事实是“他们不认识其他客人( knew non

3、e of the other guests)”。2. M: Can you stop by the post office and get me some envelops and 39 cents stamps?W: Well, I am not going to stop by the post office but I can buy you some at the book store after I see the dentist down Marker Street.Q: Where will the woman go first?【解析】选A。选项特点(to+地点)表明本题问的是

4、“去哪”，疑问词应为“ where”。对话中很可能会出现不只一个地点，因此需有针对性地做适当笔记，然后根据问题对号入座。 本题仍然是针对 but 转折处命题，但 but 后面出现了两个地点，如没有抓住“ after I see the dentist, ”这一时间状语从句，则很容易误选 C。3. M: How do you like the new physician who replaced Doctor Andrews?W: He may not seem as agreeable or as thorough as Doctor Andrews, but at least he does

5、n patients waiting for hours.Q: What can we infer from the woman s answer?【解析】选D A、C表明对话与女士对 Dr. Andrews的看法有关。A中还提到了 the new physician (医生)，故对话中可能涉及二者的比较。B是有关Dr. Andrews升职的情况，与女士对他的看法无关，而且其他三项都是对 Dr. Andrews 持否定的态度，而 B 是对他持肯 定态度，故B可初步排除。A、C意思相近(dislike, disagree)，故二者 很可能都不是 答案。因此本题的听音重点应放在 D 项上。女士是将

6、 the new physician 与 Dr. Andrews 进 行比较(not as, as,)，最后一句中的 he是代指the new physician，暗指 Dr. Andrews的情 况正好相反。本题与前两题一样，仍然是针对 but 转折处命题，需引起注意。4. W: Tom must be in a bad mood today. He hasn t said half a dozen of words all afternoon.M: Oh, really? That s nthoet lTikoem we know.Q: What does the man imply?【解

7、析】选 A 。选项表明对话可能与 Tom 的性格和同事对其的印象有关。 D 项是说 Tom 有好多事情要做， 与其他三项内容明显不同， 故可初步排除。 听音时需留意以下要点： talkative（爱说话的）;bad temper（坏脾气）;disliked by colleagues。其实通过女士话中的 hasnt said, words 就可以猜测对话应该与 Tom 说话方面的性格有关。男士话中 “ Thats not like the Tomwe know ” 意味着 Tom 平常（usually）不是那样（has n t said, words all after noon ）,即 To

8、m 平常很爱说话（ talkative ）。5. W: Do you have the seminar schedule with you? I d like to find out the topic for Friday.M: I gave it to my friend, but there should be copies available in the library. I can pick one up for you.Q: What does the man promise to do?【解析】选 C 。选项均为不定式形式表明本题与目的或行为有关。由选项中的the woman可

9、知本题是针对男士提问，故听音时应重点关注男士的话。A、B、C均与seminar （研讨会） 有关， D 则与这一主题无关， 故可初步排除。 听音时需留意以下要点： find out topic（主题）；get schedule （时间安排表）for friend/woman。本题首先应该搞清男士想要了解 研讨会的 “主题” 还是拿到 “时间安排表” ，其实要辨别男士要把时间安排表给 “谁” （friend 还是woman）。男士话中的pick, up意为取（某）”，而D中的pick, up意为接（某人）” 物。6. W: I wonder if you could sell me the ps

10、ychology textbooks. You took the course last semester, didn t you?M: As a matter of fact, I already sold them back to the school book store.Q: What do we learn from the conversation?【解析】选 B 。选项表明对话与购买和出售旧教科书有关。 A 、 B 表示男士为卖书者， 女士为买书者； C 、 D 则表示女士为卖书者，男士为买书者。故听音时需首先搞清二者 的角色。如是第一种情况，则答案很可能为 B ，因为如果男士不

11、想把书卖给女士，那也就 意味着女士要另想办法了；如是第二种情况，则答案很可能为 C ，因为对话是关于购买用 过的教科书，不大可能是打算去书店买。 因此本题的关键就在于分清谁是“买书者”和谁是 “卖书者”。7. W: Here is this week s schedule, Tony. On Monday there is the board meeting. Your speech atthe Lion s Club is on Tuesday afternoon. Then on Wednesday you have the appointment with your lawyer. An

12、d M: Wait! You mean the business conference on Tuesday is canceled?Q: What will the man do this Tuesday?【解析】选 A 。选项均以动词原形开头，表明本题为考查“行为活动类型” 。选项中的活动 都与工作有关， 很可能是某人的工作日程安排。 对话中可能会涉及到不只一项活动， 故听音 时需有针对性地做适当笔记， 尤其注意可能出现的时间。 对话一开始就出现了 schedule 一词， 证实了我们之前的猜测， 接下来的听音过程中就要尤其注意把时间和活动逐一对应， 然后根 据问题对号入座。8. M: C

13、an you believe it? Jessie told her boss he was wrong to have fired his marketing director.W: Yeah. But you know Jessie. If she has something in mind, everyone will know about it.Q: What does the woman mean?【解析】选D。选项表明对话与对 Jessie的评价有关。A是说Jessie更了解市场总监，这与对Jessie的评价无关，故可初步排除。听音时需留意以下要点：wrong to find fa

14、ult with boss（不该挑老板的错）；have a lot on her mi nd （有很多事要操心）；says what she thi nks （想什 么说什么）。本题再次针对 but 转折处命题，需加以注意。9. M: We veg ot three women researchers in our group, Mary, Betty and Helen. Do you know them?W: Sure. Mary is active and sociable. Betty is the most talkative woman I ve ever met. But gue

15、ss what Helen is just the opposite.Q: What do we learn from the womans remark about Helen?【解析】选A。选项表明问题是关于Helen的性格。C中sociable （好交际的）与D中active （积极的，活跃的）都表示喜欢与人交往，这两种性格往往是相融合的，故二者很可 能都不是答案。A中quiet与B中的talkative则正好相反，故二者中很可能有一个为答 案。因此本题的关键就在于判断 Helen 是比较“安静（ quite ） ”还是比较“爱说话（ talkative ） ”。 Opposite意为相

16、反的”。本题再次针对but转折处命题，需加以注意（本套题中已有5道）。10. W: Jimmy said that he was going to marry a rich French business woman.M: Don t be so sure. He once told me that he had bought a big house, yet he is still sharing an apartment with Mark.Q: What does the man imply?【解析】选 C 。选项表明本题与对 Jimmy 的评价有关。 D 是说 Jimmy 将来会后悔娶

17、了一 个法国女人， 这与对 Jimmy 的评价无关， 故可初步排除。 听音时需留意以下要点： not serious in decisions；rich to buy house ；words not reliable 。从对话中 Jimmy said, 和 he once told, 可 推知对话与 Jimmy 所说的话有关，便可初步推测答案可能为 C 。Section BPassage OneUnless you have visited the southern United States, you probably have never heard of Kudzu. Kudzu, a

18、s any farmer in the south will sadly tell you, is a super-powered weed. It is a strong climbing plant. Once it gets started, Kudzu is almost impossible to stop. It climbs to the tops of the tallest trees. It can cover large buildings. Whole barns and farm houses have been known to disappear from vie

19、w. Wherever it grows, its thick wristing stems are extremely hard to remove.Kudzu was once thought to be a helpful plant. Originally found in Asia, it was brought to America to help protect the land from being swallowed by the sea. It was planted where its tough roots which grow up to five feet long

20、 could help hold back the soil. But the plant soon spread to places where it wasn t wanted. Farmers now have to fight to keep it from killing other plants. In a way, Kudzu is a sign of a labor shortage in the south. Where there is no one to work the fields, Kudzu soon takes over. The northern United

21、 States faces no threat from Kudzu. Harsh winters kill it off.The plant loves the warmth of the south, bu t the south surely doesn t love it. If someone couldinvent some use for Kudzu and remove it from southern farmland, his or her fortune would be assured.预览三道题各选项， 由 farmers, soil, plant, growth 等

22、词以及 12 题中的 Kudzu 一词， 可推知本 文很可能是对一种名为“ Kudzu ”的植物的介绍。11. What do we learn about“ Kudzu ” from the passage?【解析】选 A 。由选项中 harm, good, kill 和 protect 等词可推测本题可能与 Kudzu 这种植物 的作用或影响有关。 B 是关于它是如何传入美国的， 与其作用或影响无关， 故可初步排除。 注意选项中分别出现了 south America 和 Northern America ，这提示 Kudzu 在这两个地区的情 况可能会有所不同， 听音时需加以留意。 本题的

23、听音重点为： 好的作用 (USA)kill harmful weeds/protect buildings ；坏的影响( Northern A ) more harm than good 。由 sadly 一词可推 知 Kudzu 应该是给 the farmers in the south 带来了不好的影响，可初步判断答案为 A 。12. What will happen if the fields are neglected in the southern United States?【解析】 选B。由选项中plough (耕种)，overgrown with Kudzu可推知本题中they

24、指土地。 本题很可能与 Kudzu 对土地的影响有关。 C 未提到对 Kudzu 对土地的影响，故可初步排 除。听音时需留意以下要点：hard plough ；hard protect；overgrown with Kudzu 。如果能够抓住Kudzu生长力很强这一特点(a super-powered weed),便可初步确定答案为 B。13. Why isn t Kudzu a threat to the northern United States?【解析】选D。A、D是关于该地区不利于Kudzu生长的条件；B、C则是关于对Kudzu 的控制或利用。综合来看，四个选项都表示 Kudzu 没

25、有在该区形成危害，故可推知 本题很可能是关于 Kudzu 没有形成危害的原因。听音时需留意以下要点：不利条件soil/climate ; factories use; farmers con trol。抓住文中 harsh win ter （严寒的冬季）即可确定是 气候方面的原因。Passage TwoThe word university comes from the Latin word“ universitas ”, meaning “the whole ”. LatLatin legal language,“universitas ” meant a society or corpor

26、ation. In the Middle Ages, the wordmeant “an association of teachers and scholars”. The origins of universities can be traced back tothe 12th to 14th centuries. In the early 12th century, long before universities were organized in the modern sense, students gathered together for higher studies at ce

27、rtain centers of learning. The earliest centers in Europe were at Bologna in Italy, founded in 1088. Other early centers were set up in France, the Czech Republic, Australia and Germany from 1150 to 1386. The first universities in Britain were Oxford and Cambridge. They were established in 1185 and

28、1209 respectively. The famous London university was founded in 1836. This was followed by the foundation of several universities such as Manchester and Birmingham, which developed from provincial colleges. It was in the 1960s that the largest expansion of higher education took place in Britain. This

29、 expansion took three basic forms: existing universities were enlarged, new universities were developed from existing colleges and completely new universities were set up. In Britain finance for universities comes from three sources: the first, and the largest source, is grants from the government,

30、the second source is fees paid by students and the third one is private donations. All the British universities except one receive some government funding. The exception is Buckingham which is the Britains only independent university.预览三道题各选项， 由 teachers and scholars，colleges，universities 等词可推知本文的主题

31、与 大学有关。14. What did the worduniversitasmean in the Middle Ages?【解析】选C。由选项中society （社团），association （协会），corporation （公司）可推测 本题与某种机构有关。 A 意为“整个宇宙” ，范围太大，可初步排除。 B 、 D 分别是关 于法律（legal）和商业（bus in ess），而本文的主题是关于大学，故二者为答案的可能性也不 大。因此可初步判断本题的答案为 D （一个由教师和学者组成的协会） 。听音过程中注意 对所做推测加以确认。15. Why was the 1960s so s

32、ignificant for British Higher Education?【解析】选 B 。四个选项均是陈述高校所经历的某种事情或变化，根据 B 中的 during that period 可推知本题可能是考查高校在某一时期发生了什么变化或经历了什么事。A 、 C 都表示学校的规模变得更大，实际上都包含在B （ expansion）之内，故A和C都不大可 能为答案。 D 是说高校的社会角色发生了巨变， 与其他三项内容明显不同，故也可初步排 除。因此可初步判断本题答案为 B 。听音过程中注意对所做推测加以确认。16. What is main financial source for Br

33、itish universities?【解析】选 C 。四个选项都是表示资金来源，故可推测本题很可能是关于高校经费的主要 来源。 D （公司拨款）属于 A （私人捐款）的一部分，故二者都不大可能为答案。因此 本题答案可能在 B （学生学费）和 C （政府资助）之间。根据常识，大多数国家的高校 经费都主要来源于政府。Passage ThreeOne of the biggest problems in developing countries is hunger. An organization called Heifer International is working to improve

34、this situation. The organization sends farm animals to families and communities around the world. An American farmer Dan West developed the idea for Heifer International in the 1930s. Mr. West was working in Spain where he discovered a need for cows. Many families were starving because of the Civil

35、War in that country. So Mr. West asked his friends in the United States to send some cows. The first Heifer animals were sent in 1944. Since that time more than 4, 000, 000 people in 115 countries have had better lives because of Heifer animals. To receive a Heifer animal, families must first explai

36、n their needs and goals. They must also make a plan which will allow them to become self-supporting. Local experts usually provide training. The organization says that animals must have food, water, shelter, health care and the ability to reproduce. Without them the animals will not remain healthy a

37、nd productive. Heifer International also believes that families must pass on some of their success to others in need. This belief guarantees that each person who takes part in the program also becomes a giver. Every family that receives a Heifer animal must agree to give that animal s first femtaoleobthaebry people in need. Families must also agree to pass on the skills and training they received from Heifer International. This concept helps communities become self-supporting.预览三道题各选项，由 cows, raise animals, animal breeding 等词可推测本文涉及到动物的饲 养，而从 help starving families, distri
