2、Thepassagegivesadescriptionofseveralmethodsoftestingmentalability.

A、Y

B、N

C、NG

标准答案：B

知识点解析：本题涉及到了文章的主题，通读全文我们知道。本文主要是谈论人的

记忆能力和大脑结构以及年龄的关系问题。首先谈到了记忆能力下降的原因The

depressingansweristhatthebrain'scells,theneurons,dieanddeclineinefficiency

withage.而且后面的文章都是介绍智力结构的改变，工作记忆的的退化以及脑力

能力不同的比率下降等等。这些都和智力能力的测试没有关系，因此题干的说法不

符原文。

3、ProfessorShimamuraidentifiedanumberofareasinwhichmentalfunctionmay

change.

A、Y

B、N

C、NG

标准答案：A

知识点解析：本题主要涉及了Shimamura教授的证实智力功能的改变问题，定位

在文章的第二段，ProfessorArthurShimamura...saystherearethreemainwaysin

whichmentalfunctionchanges,并在后面加以举例论证。所以anumberofareas是

对它的概括。

4、Asthetemporallobesofthebrainareaffectedbyaging,itbecomeshardertopickup

newskills.

A、Y

B、N

C、NG

标准答案：A

知识点解析：本题主要涉及到了大脑太阳穴的圆形突出部位与学习能力的关系，文

章第三段谈到了二者的关系：Thepartsofthebrainknownasthetemporallobes

controlnewlearning,andareparticularlyvulnerabletotheeffectsofaging.由止匕时以

推断出随着年龄的增长，人的学习能力越来越差，因此题干的说法与原文相符。

5、Absent-mindednessisnotnecessarilyasignnfaging.

A、Y

B、N

C、NG

标准答案：A

知识点解析：本题谈到了心不在焉与年龄的关系，定位在文章第四段：Absent-

mindednessoccursatalIagesbecauseofimperfectionsintheworkingmemory

system”由于工作记忆系统的不完整，心不在焉在任何年龄都会发生”，也就是说它

和年龄没有必然的联系，因此题干的说法与原文相符。

6、Researchindicatesthatphysicaltrainingcanhelptoimprovememory.

A、Y

B、N

C、NG

标准答案：B

知识点解析：本题谈到了体力锻炼与提高记忆能力的关系，关于如何提高记忆能

力，在文章第十段提到了mentalfitness【raining有可能提高记忆能力，但是结果只

能持续几年(theeffectsofthistraininglastingseveralvears)而不是physicaltraining能

提高记忆能力，因此题干的说法不符原文。

7、Takingpartinquizzesisthebestwaytostimulate(hebrain.

A、Y

B、N

C、NG

标准答案：c

知识点0析：本题涉及到了猜谜语与刺激大脑的关系，文章第十段谈到了mental

fitnesstraining有助于促进记忆，至于猜谜是不是刺激大脑的最佳方式，文章没有

提及，不得而知，因此本句属于原文中没有的内容。

8、Scientistsnowunderstandwhypeople'smentalfacultiesdeclineatdifferentrates.

A、Y

B、N

C、NG

标准答案：B

知识点解析：本题是讲“科学家现在明白人的智力能力以不同速度下降的原因“，其

中nowunderstand为关键词，定位在文章的第H—段，首句讲Justaspeoplegobald

Orgreyatdifferentrates,sothesameistruefortheirmentalfaculties.Whythisshould

bethecaseformemoryandothermentalfunctionsisnotyetclear。nowunderstand不是

isnotyetclear,因此题干的说法不符原文。

9^Ifapersonisunderstress,maybecomemorefrequent.

标准答案：absent-mindedness

知识点解析：本题涉及到了压力的影响作用，文章第五段谈到Stressand

preoccupationcanalsocausesuchabsent-mindedness,也就是压力会导致我们心不在

焉，由此可以判断空格中应该填absent-mindednesso

10、Whenthefrontallobesofthebrainareaffectedbyaging,thereisagradual

deteriorationin.

标准答案：theworkingmemory

知识点解析：本题谈到了大脑前部的圆形突出部分如何受到年龄的影响会出现的情

况，定位在文章的第五段Thefrontallobesofthebrain...arcwheretheworking

memorysystemislocated,这句话说明它就是记忆系统位置所在，因此我们可以推

断，当大脑前部的圆型突出部分受到影响时，记忆系统也随之退化。所以空格中应

填theworkingmemoryo

11、IfananimaPsbrainiskeptactiveandstimulated,.

标准答案：newconnectingnervefibresdevelop

知识点解析：本题谈到了关于动物的大脑的情况，定位在文章的第八段Professor

BryanKolb...hasshownthatanimalskeptinstimulatingenvironmentsshowsprouting

andlengtheningoftheconnectingnervefibresintheirbrains,这句话说明处在刺激性

的环境中的动物，它们大脑中的连接神经纤维表现出萌发和延长的特性。题干中的

newconnectingnervefibresdevelop是showsproutingandlengtheningofthe

connectingnervefibres的同义转述。

三、听力短对话（本题共7题，每题7.0分，共［分0）

12、

A、Hehastoworkwithhisbrother.

B、Hehasnodefiniteplans.

C、Heusuallyworksonweekends.

D^Hisplandependson（hewoman.

标准答案：B

知识点解析：upintheair是个习语，意思是“悬而未决”，也就是说男士尚未对周末

的活动做出计划。

四、听力长对话（含3小题）（本题共1题，每题1.0

分，共I分。）

13、

A、Yourhandslookgood.

B、Yourhairisingoodcondition.

C^Youhaveagoodbeauticiantoserveyou.

D、Youcanrelax.

标准答案：C

知识点解析：对话中男士说明了自己的要求，女士说没问题，放松点，由此可推测

you'reingoodhands可能是说美发师的手艺不错，会令男士满意的，故答案为

[C]o

五、听力长对话（含4小题）（本题共2题，每题1.0

分，共2分。）

14、

A^HeisateacherofEnglishinCambridge.

B、HeisaconsultanttoaScottishcompany.

C、Heisaspecialistincomputerscience.

D、HeisaBritishtouristtoChina.

标准答案：C

知识点》析：信息明示题，弗朗西斯博士说他担任咨询工作，接着又说自己和计算

机科学系的同事相处得很好，由此可知，他是位电脑专家，所以B正确，考点

terms除了有“学期；期间；术语”的含义以外，还可指“人与人或群体之间的关

系”，如；She^ongoodtennswithherinlaws.她与婆家的人相处得很好

15、

A、22℃.

B、25℃.

C、23℃.

D、34℃.

标准答案：B

知识点解析：信息明示题，弗朗西斯博士说Cambridgewouldbewarmer,around

25,所以C正确，对话还集中出现了其他几个数字，考生在听录音时要注意数字

与地点的对应

六、听力短文（含3小题）（本题共6题，每题1.0

分,共6分。）

16、

A、4.

B、14.

C、40.

标准答案：D

知识点解析：暂无解析

19、

A、Thestatelaws.

B、Thechurchauthorities.

C>Thelocalcommunities.

D、Thenationalgovernment.

标准答案：C”

知识点解析：细节题。听考时适当地做一些笔记（一般采用省略法）还是必要的。说

话者在打完招呼后点到了短文的主旨Americanshavealwayshadgreatfaithin

education,关键词是educalion,是全文的中心话题。文中提到了Thepublic

schools...not...nor...but,出现了not...but句型，重点应该听记

but后的内容，可知教育是由当地社区决定的。如果对美国的教育有所了解，得出

本题的答案就更容易了。

20、

A、Fortypercent.

B、Seventypercent.

C、Fortyfivepercent.

D、Seventyfivepercent.

标准答案：D

知识点解析：细节题。本题选项都是百分数，提示我们在听到百分数时要做一下笔

记，并要分清其对应的内容是什么。Seventy-fivepercent对应的是graduatingfrom

highschool（可用g代替），forty-fivepercent对应的是beginningcollege（可用b代

替）。听清题目问的是graduating方面的内容就能确定答案。

21、

A、Becausestudentsvaryinneeds,

B、Becauseteachingmethodsvarygreatly.

C、Becauseschoolsofferdifferentsubjects.

D、Becausetherearedifferentaidsatschool.

标准答案：A

知识点解析：because表明本题考查对因果关系的判断，选项中的vary和different

表达的都是“不同”的意思。听音时也听到多个various和vary,容易混淆，要把握

好各个内容之间的关系，并注意听具体问题。educationismadevariousinform是为

Ymeetthestudents'variousneeds,这里包含了一层因果关系（将不定式转化成因果

关系，也是常考点）。而后面的achoiceofsubjects,melhods以及learningaids不是

教育形式多样化的原因.

七、听力短文（含4小题）（本题共4题，每题1.0

分,共4分。）

22、

A、Youreyesight.

B、Yourdrivingability.

C>Yourcar'smechanicalcondition.

D、Yourknowledgeoftrafficregulations.

highwayandtrafficregulations.可以知道第二项笔试考的是路况和交通规则。

23、

A^Topracticedrivingwithanexperienceddriver.

Todriveundernormalhighwaycondition.

C、Tohavethecarcheckedbythelicenseofficer.

D、Touseitasanidentificationcard.

C、Theexaminerwatchesyoudrivinginyourcar.

D^Thetestiscarriedou（wherethereislittletraffic.

标准答案：C

知识点解析：根据:youmustprovideyourownvehicle（上路测试时的车是考生自备

的），theexaminer...asksyoutodriveinregulartraffic（考官要求你在正常路况中

驾车），和theexaminertestsyouforsuchthingsasstarting,stopping,turning,

backingup,andparking（考官考查正常的路况下考生启动、停金、倒车、泊车等一*

系列技术），可以最终确定C）正确。

25、

A、Driverstobe.

Trafficregulationmakers.

C、Licenseexaminers.

D、Policemen.

标准答案：A

知识点解析：本文讲述的是取得驾驶执照要经过的一系列测试，听话人应该是想要

知识点解析：首先判断空格处缺谓语动词，时态为过去式，结合己知信息“Given

thechancetodemonstratehisability(有了施展能力的机会)”和“begantosucceedin

school(学业开始成功)”判断，作者信心重新树：立起来，填regained。

得知，作者己成为一名杰出的医生，因此填prominent。

42、[S6]

标准答案：B

43、[S7]

词。从上下文知道，作者双语教育成功有效，成功的例子很多。因此填counlless。

知，双语教育是最有效的教育模式，填effeclive。

45、[S9]

标准答案：C

46、[SI0]

低了辍学率，提高了大学入学率。根据此意，填acceptance,表“被大学接纳、录

取，成为大学生”。

要性，因为对于与人类共同生活在这个星球上的大多数生物来说，生存空间不仅以

平方面积来理解，还以立方空间来理解。''本句首先提到需要高大的树木，后说明

原因。由此可推出，既要保护生活在地球陆地上的动物生活环境。也要保护生活在

树木上的鸟类的生存环境。故选D）.
