5、ar more.M: The black one is twice as much as the blue one.精解 题干问：“这件黑衬衫多少钱?”对话中女士说：“这件红衬衫是20美元，蓝色的多1美元。”男士说：“黑色的价格是蓝色的两倍。”所以黑色的价格应为：(20+1)2=42元，所以本题的答案选C。2. What does the woman suggest? A. Getting another ticket at the door. B. Waiting for the man at the door. C. Exchanging the ticket for a better o

6、ne.D. Trying to sell the ticket. 答案:D解析M: I have an extra ticket to the cinema tonight. Would you like to come along?W: Thanks, but I have already got my own ticket. Perhaps you can sell the other one at the door.精解 题干问：“女士建议什么?”对话中男士说：“我今晚有张多余的电影票，你想和我一起去吗?”女士回答说：“谢谢，但我已经有一张了，或许你能把它卖给门口的其它人。”女士建议卖掉

7、电影票，所以答案选D。3. What is the mans probable occupation?A.Waiter.B.Secretary.C.Tailor.D.Professor.答案:B解析M: May I ask the nature of your business, please?W: Im from the State Administration, and I need to talk with Mr. Jones about his building project on 20 Street.精解 题干问：“男士的职业可能是什么?”本题略难，对话中男士的职业要从女士的回答中

8、去推断，女士说她来找琼斯先生是要与他谈在20号大街上的建筑项目，由此可知对话中的男士应该是琼斯先生的同事或下属，只有B符合。4. Whats the womans opinion about the school?A.Its too expensive.B.It isnt needed.C.It should be built.D.A college would be better.答案:C解析M: The city council has finally voted the funds to build a new high school.W: Its about time they did

9、 it. I dont know what took them so long.精解 题干问：“女士对学校的意见是什么?”对于这种题要注意第二个人的话。本题要求考生根据女士的话推断出她的态度和看法，有一定的难度。首先要对Its about time they did it这句虚拟语气有正确的理解，意为“他们该这么做了”。其后的I dont know what took them so long同样表明了她认为他们早该表决投入资金建学校了。5. Why didnt they meet that evening?A.They were both busy doing their own work.

10、B.They waited for each other at different places.C.They went to the street corner at different times.D.The man went to the concert but the woman didnt.答案:B解析W: George, where were you yesterday evening?

11、ooked for you at your flat, but the housekeeper said you were out.精解 题干问：“那天晚上他们为什么没有见面?”尽管因果题的答题线索通常都出现在第二个人说的话中，即第一个人说出结果，第二个人解释原因，但本题是个例外，双方都说出了部分原因。这是为什么呢?我们看一下选项就明白了。在本题的选项中每一项都牵扯到了对话的双方，所以听的时候要注意双方的话。对话中女士问乔治昨晚在哪儿，她没有在音乐会上见到他；男士说他去女士家的街道上等她了，但没有等到。所以答案B“他们在不同的地方等待着对方”符合题意。 (如需获取本MP3听力录音请搜索标题名)

12、 6. Why has the man decided to leave the company?A.He is not equal to the job.B.He is not well paid for his work.C.He doesnt think the job is challenging enough.D.He cannot keep mind on his work.答案:C解析W: Suppose the company offered you a pay rise of 50%, would you be so determined to leave and look

13、for a job elsewhere?M: Yes. Ive set my mind on it. Id like to find a job with scope to show my ability.精解 题干问：“男士为什么决定离开公司?”本题要求根据表面话语推断出隐含的意义。在对话中，男士最关键的一句是“Id like toability”言外之意就是目前的工作对他来说缺乏挑战性，即C项为正确答案。7. Which of the following is true?A.The man thinks the woman is wasting her time.B.The man thi

14、nks the woman should make full use of her time.C.The man is eager to know the womans answer.D.The man can wait and there is no need for her to hurry.答案:D解析W: I have to think about your offer. I cant say yes or no at the moment.M: You can take your time. It will do if you let me know your decision in

15、 a day or two.精解 题干问：“下面哪项是正确的?”本题的选项极像观点、态度与反应题，但实际考的是把握细节的能力。男士的话可分为两部分，把握住任何一个就足以选出正确答案D，如能相互验证那就更有把握了。从卷面的角度分析，我们可以看出， C、D两项为完全排斥的反义关系，而A、B并非如此。在这种情况下，可基本排除A、B，本题的难度也就降低了50%。8. Whats the weather forecast?A.There will be heavy fog in all areas.B.There will be heavy rain by midnight.C.There will b

16、e heavy fog in the east.D.There will be fog in all areas by midnight.答案:D解析W: Its nearly 10 oclock. Lets listen to the weather forecast.M: Heres the weather forecast. Fog is spreading from the east, and itll affect all areas by midnight. Itll be heavy in some places.精解 题干问：“天气预报说什么?”做这类题可利用一些应试技巧。以本

17、题为例，四个选项中有三个是关于fog的，听录音前即排除掉关于rain的选项B。而在剩下的三个中，又有两个是关于all areas，可进一步排除关于个别地区的C。A、D之间哪一个的可能性更大呢?我们可以利用生活常识。在所有地区都有大雾似乎不大可能，况且D中多了一条信息 (by midnight)。这样，你至少应该有80%的把握选择D。9. What do we learn from the conversation?A.It was probably Mr. Browns phone number that the woman wrote down.B.It was just an hour a

18、go that the man met Mr. Brown.C.The woman forgot to write down the phone number.D.The woman needed a sheet of paper to put down the number.答案:A解析W: What a memory I have! I did write down the phone number on a sheet of paper when I answered the phone this morning. But now the paper has disappeared wi

19、thout any trace.M: Dont worry. I will be seeing Mr. Brown in an hour.精解 题干问：“从对话中我们能够了解到什么?”本题考查的是综合理解对话内容后推断隐含信息的能力。女士说“I did write down the number”其中的did是强调，而number则明显是phone number(这一点应能从选项中看出来)，而男士说他一会儿就能见到布朗先生。因此上面的phone number应该就是布朗先生的，否则男士的话就变得毫无意义。仅就卷面而言，四个选项中只有B没有提到phone number，可立即排除；而C、D中又都

20、没有提到布朗先生，只有A又全又长，仅靠猜测答对本题的概率应大于90%。10. What will happen if the man passes the examination?A.He will work for his father.B.He will take another examination.C.He will choose another school.D.He will study at college.答案:D解析M: If I pass this examination, I can go to the college of my choice.W: If not, y

21、ou can work for your father.精解 题干问：“如果男士通过考试将会怎样?”对话中男士说：“如果我通过了考试，我能去我选择的大学。”女士说：“如果不能，你可以为你父亲工作。”所以本题的答案选D。Part B You will hear four dialogues or monologues.

Where did Allsops interest in music come from?A.Mozart.B.Bach.C.His parents.D.His brother.答案:C解析

28、 题干问：“奥尔索普音乐方面的兴趣来自哪里?”对话中当女士问爱德华的爱好来自哪里的时候，他说“But my mother and father both wanted to encourage me and my brother in music”可知他的兴趣来自父母。所以本题的答案选C。4. What kind of family was Allsop from?A.A political family.B.An artist family.C.A musical family.D.Not mentioned.答案:D解析 题干问：“奥尔索普来自什么样的家庭?”文中最后只是提到，父母鼓励他在

31、3th century and grew steadily. Until today there are more than twenty colleges. The oldest college is Peterhouse, which was founded in 1284, and the most recent is Robinson College, which was opened in 1977.

32、 was exclusively for men until 1871 when the first womens college was opened. Another was opened two years later and a third in 1954. In the 1960s, most colleges opened their doors to both men and women. Almost all the colleges are now mixed, but it will be many years before there are equal numbers

33、of both sexes. 精解 细节题。文章开始说“Cambridge must be one of the best-known towns in the world(剑桥应该是世界上最负盛名的城镇之一了)”，接着说“The main reason for its fame is its universities(它出名的主要原因是它的大学)”。因此我们可以得出合理的答案，剑桥城出名主要是因为剑桥的大学。6.

34、se College.B.Robinson College.C.Kings College.D.Queens College.答案:C解析 细节题。山文中的“The most famous is probably Kings College(最出名的可能是Kings大学)”可知C为正确答案。此题需要在听文章时做笔记，因为选项A、B、C都各有特色，极易混淆。7.

36、ity had three women colleges in the 1970s.C.All the colleges in Cambridge are now mixed.D.There are still more male students than female students in Cambridge University.答案:D解析 推断题。文章末句“Almost all the colleges are now mixed，but it will be many years before there are equal numbers of both sexes(现今，几乎

37、所有的大学都是混合学校，但是要实现男女数量相等恐怕还要很多年)”说明现在学院中男女生的数量还不相等，男生数量多。同时，短文中使用的是“almost all”，表明并不是所有的学校都是混合制的。 Questions 19 to 22 are based on the passage you have just heard. (如需获取本MP3听力录音请搜索标题名) 9.
