TestOne试题详解

SectionI

PartA

1.[B]本题干扰项很能迷惑人。经仔细地听，会知道第二说话人是意大利人(1am

Italian.),所以她来自意大利(Italy)o

2.[C]对话中说“这家商店夹克质量好”，而“另一家商店廉价"。第二说话人认为另

一家商店廉价，说明她中意于那家商店。故选C。

3.[A]第一说话人向第二说话人探询时间，第二说话人没手表，并提议他去问那边那位

女士。因而答案是A。

4.[C]本题出现了“cotton”,“wool”，“nylon”这些干扰词，不过关键只有两句话

“Arcthosemadeofcottonmoreexpensive?v“Yes,that'sright.”听懂了这句话,问题便迎

刃而解了。

5.[B]这是一道态度题。对话开始时第二说话人显然有点生气，说话也是讽刺口气。日

后听了第一说话人道歉，第二说话人也就原谅了他。

6.[D]本题关键在于了解“ihesooner(hebeller”含义，即越快越好，故选D,

7.[D]urunningatenperaturen即“havingafever"意思是“发烧”。

8.[B]uMuchthesameaslast0：跟过去差不多。所以Linda意思是：学校生活没有

太多改变。

9.[C]由对话中“Iwamedhimmanytimes,buthewouldn'tlisten."可得出答案。

10.[D]uWhetherornotthere'llevenbeafieldtriphastobedecidedfirst"告诉我们"实

地考查还有待决定”，故选D。

PartB

11—13[C][D][A]

本段是由一名教授作讲座。讲座介绍了美国教育情况。第一段主要讲美国民众尤其重视教育。

第二段讲美国教育其实受当地小区控制。第三段讲了高中生毕业率和上大学升学率以及学校

教育出现不一样形式原因。

问题答案可从卜面三句话中得出：“Thepublicschoolsof:hcUnitedStatesarcnotcontrolledby

thenationalgovernmentnorbychurchauthoritiesbutbythelocalcommunitiesthemselves.”

“75%weregraduatingfromhighschool.”

“Educationismadevariousinform,tomeetthestudents'variousneeds.n

14—17[A][D][B][C]

依照对话内容，本段对话第一道问题可由下面这句话得出答案:“Dr.Brown'sclassfinished(en

minutesearly,soIwentto(helibrarybetweenclasses.”

uSoIputthem(books)inmybookbag.”告诉了我们第二道题答案。

第三、四道题答案分别川从卜面这两句话得出："Thebooksinthelibraryareallmagnetically

coded"和4<Thclibrarianbehindthedeskdemagnetizesthem.

18—21[A][B][A][C]

本段对话主要内容是：第一说话人问及第二说话人去欧洲事。三星期之后，第二说话人将去

欧洲旅行。在她临走之前，她要去续护照，去旅行社买飞机票，以及处理好她公寓。她不想

退掉房子，因为再租一套活不轻易，不过她也不想让房子空着，白交三星期房租。第一说话

人于是把他朋友介绍给她，说他朋友能够向她转租房子。

以上四道题答案均可从主要内容中得出。

22-25[B][D][B][A]

这是在•个汽车旅馆发生对话。从谈话中得知汽车旅馆原来很挤，不事先约定是住不上。幸

好有些人暂时退房，所以对话人之一得以住进去。在登记时就得交租金，这是旅店规矩，其

原因没有在文中明
