21.What did the man finally asked the woman to do? 【答案】A Identify the suspect from pictures.【解析】對話結尾處,男士要求女士look at some photographs,很顯然,他的目的是讓女士通過照片來辨別嫌疑人。因此選擇A。

23.Why did the woman find the job appealing? 【答案】B She could work close to her family.【解析】本題關鍵詞是appealing,意為引起興趣的。女士提到她喜歡這份工作的原因是be near to the family.,close是near的同義替換詞,因此選擇B選項。24.What had the woman been doing in Geneva? 【答案】C Working as a secretary.【解析】女士提到她在日內瓦做了一些secretarial work,也就是選項C中的secretary。雖然她也提到之前在大學學習,但是她取得的學位是a degree in English,而非選項D中的a degree in French.25.What was the woman asked to do in the end? 【答案】C Send in a written application as soon as possible.【解析】對話中女士希望得到面試機會,但是男士要求先要遞交書面申請(reply a writing to the advertisement),并不是所有人都能得到面試機會,因此選擇答案C。

11.W: This crazy bus schedule has got me completely confused.I can’t figure out when my bus to Cleveland leaves?
M: Why don’t you just go to the ticket window and ask? Q: What does the man suggest the woman do? 【答案】B)Go and ask the staff.【解析】這是一道事實細節題。從對話中可知,女士搞不清楚列車時刻表,男士建議她去售票窗口咨詢。ticket window售票窗口。12.W: I really enjoyed the TV special about drafts last night.Did you get home in time to see it? W: Oh, yes, but I wish I could have stayed awake long enough to see the whole thing.Q: What does the man mean? 【答案】A)He fell asleep in the middle of the TV program.【解析】這是道推理判斷題,考查男士的言下之意以及虛擬語氣。could have done意為本可以做某事,但未做。從對話中可知,男士確實回家看了電視節目,但是他說道:I wish I could have stayed awake long enough to see the whole thing.我真希望自己當時能再晚點睡著,這樣我就可以看完整場節目了。說明他沒有看完整場節目就睡著了。13.W: Airport, please.I’m running a little late.So just take the fastest way even if it’s not the most direct.M: Sure, but there is a lot of traffic everywhere today because of the football game.Q: What do we learn about the woman from the conversation? 【答案】B)She is worried about missing her flight.【解析】這是道場景題,略有難度。剛開始,我們還無法很快判斷出該對話發生的場景,很多同學一聽到airport可能會誤以為對話發生在機場,但如果我們繼續聽下去,就會發現,該對話應該發生在出租車上,因為女士說了句“請選擇最快的路”,而男士說“因為有球賽,所以到處都交通擁堵”可以幫助我們再次確認對話發生的場景。選項A不對,原文是說要挑the fastest way哪怕不是the most direct way;選項C也不準確,才剛上車,并沒有擁堵,司機只是提前說明因為球賽會碰到擁堵;選項D錯誤,女士是為了趕去乘飛機的,而不是去看球賽。14.W: May I make a recommendation, sir? Our seafood with this special sauce is very good.M: Thank you, but I don’t eat shellfish.I’m allergic to it.Q: Where does this conversation most probably take place? 【答案】A)At a restaurant 【解析】這是道場景題,較為簡單。從對話中可知,女士希望向男士推薦一道菜,從首句中即可推斷出該對話最有可能發生在餐館中,男士說,他過敏,不吃貝殼類海鮮,可以幫助我們再次確認對話發生的場景。15.W: Now one more question if you don’t mind, what position in the company appeals to you most? M: Well, I’d like the position of sales manager if that position is still vacant.Q: What do we learn about the man? 【答案】A)He is being interviewed for a job.【解析】這是較為簡單的細節推理題。從position, company這幾個關鍵詞中,我們就可以快速判斷出此題的場景為面試,因此男士應該正在接受一場面試。C選項錯誤,他想要銷售經理的職位,但并不表示他本身就是銷售經理。16.M: I don’t think I want to live in the dormitory next year.I need more privacy.W: I know what you mean.But check out the cost if renting an apartment first.I won’t be surprised if you change your mind.Q: What does the woman imply? 【答案】B)The man is unlikely to move out of the dormitory.【解析】這是推理判斷題,詢問女士的言下之意。最后一句,女士表示“你改變主意的話,我不會覺得奇怪”,可知,男士不太可能搬出宿舍。A選項是個干擾項,雖然該選項看上去意思和B選項差不多,但對話中并沒有提到男士想找一個更安靜的地方,他想搬離寢室,是為了更多的個人空間。17.M: You’re on the right track.I just think you need to narrow the topic down.W: Yeah, you’re right.I always start by choosing two boarder topics when I’m doing a research paper.Q: What do we learn from the conversation? 【答案】D)The woman is going to make her topic more focused.【解析】這是推理判斷題。從對話中可知,男士希望女士縮小主題的范圍,女士回答“你是對的。”說明女士會采納男士的建議,縮小主題。18.W: This picnic should beat the last one we went to, doesn’t it?
M: Oh, yeah, we had to spend the whole time inside.Good thing, the weather was cooperative this time.Q: What do we learn about the speakers from the conversation? 【答案】B)They didn’t quite enjoy their last picnic.【解析】這是推理判斷題。beat一詞是個難點,beat本意有“打敗”的意思,這次的野餐打敗了上次,即這次比上次好,下文中,男士說“上次我們不得不呆在室內,但這次天氣不錯。”可以再次確認他們不喜歡上次的野餐,因此,正確答案為B。
Conversation One 【聽力原文】
M: When I say I live in Sweden, people always want to know about the seasons.W: The seasons? M: Yeah, you know how cold it is in winter? What is it like when the days are so short? W: So what is it like? M: Well, it is cold, very cold in winter.Sometimes it is cold as 26 degrees below centigrade.And of course when you go out, you’ll wrap up warm.But inside in the houses it’s always very warm, much warmer than at home.Swedish people always complain that when they visit England, the houses are cold even in the good winter.W: And what about the darkness? M: Well, yeah, around Christmas time there’s only one hour of daylight, so you really looks forward to the spring.It is sometimes a bit depressing.But you see the summers are amazing, from May to July in the North of Sweden the sun never sets.It’s still light in the midnight.You can walk in the mountains and read a newspaper.W: Oh, yeah, the land of the midnight sun.M: Yeah, that’s right, but it’s wonderful.You want to stay up all night, and the Sweden’s made most of it.Often they started work earlier in summer and then leave at about 2 or 3 in the afternoon, so that they can really enjoy the long summer evenings.They’d like to work hard, but play hard, too.I think Londoners work longer hours, but I’m not sure this is a good thing.【聽力材料評析】這篇長對話是圍繞瑞典的天氣展開,主要談到瑞典冬天的極寒和夏天的極晝天氣。文章一開頭即說到人們喜歡詢問瑞典的季節情況。接下來對具體情況進行了描述,包括:極寒天氣下的氣溫、室外和室內溫度狀況,另外,就瑞典室溫與英國室溫進行了對比,再次強調證明瑞典室溫很高;而極晝天氣則談的是瑞典人的工作時間和工作習慣,另外,就瑞典人工作時認真忙、能玩時拼命玩的習慣和英國人工作勤奮、工作時間長進行了對比。這篇對話考查細節信息抓取能力。整體難度不大,并且以男士提供的信息為主。但許多考生可能因為對瑞典(Sweden)和與瑞典相關的一系列名詞不熟悉而糾結,因此忽略了真正需要聽清的其實并不太難的關鍵信息。這就提醒大家在做題時,切勿因為個別詞語不熟悉,而慌張。19.A)He likes Sweden better than England.B)He prefers hot weather to cold weather.C)He is an English living in Sweden.D)He visits London nearly every winter.19.What do we learn about the man from the conversation? 【答案】B)He prefers hot weather to cold weather.【解析】本題為推斷題。根據文章大意可推斷得出。整篇文章中,分別有兩處暗示信息,一處是男士說,“Swedish people always complain that when they visit England, the houses are cold even in the good winter.”,瑞典人在冬天去拜訪英格蘭時,會抱怨英格蘭室溫太冷。另一處是男士在談到冬天天氣時,說道:“It is sometimes a bit depressing.”長時間寒冷的天氣令人沮喪。因此可推斷得出,男士更喜歡hot weather,熱天氣。所以,答案為:He prefers hot weather to cold weather.20.A)The bad weather B)The cold houses.C)The gloomy winter.D)The long night.20.What do Swedish people complain about when they visit England in winter? 【答案】B)The cold houses.【解析】對話中,當男士介紹瑞典的極寒天氣時,談到只要穿暖,出門很暖,而室內更暖和,為了強調這一觀點,男士繼續說道:“Swedish people always complain that when they visit England, the houses are cold even in the good winter.”說是瑞典人在冬天去拜訪英格蘭時,會抱怨英格蘭室溫太冷。所以,答案為:The cold houses.21.A)Delightful.B)Painful.C)Depressing.D)Refreshing.21.How does the man describe the short hour of daylight around Christmas in Sweden? 【答案】C)Depressing.【解析】女士問:“And what about the darkness?”男士答道:“around Christmas time there’s only one hour of daylight, so you really looks forward to the spring.”臨近圣誕節的時候,每天僅有一小時為白天,所以人們都非常向往春天,希望春天快點到來。然后,進一步強調性地評論道:“It is sometimes a bit depressing.”有時候真有點令人沮喪。因此,本題答案為:Depressing.22.A)They often stay up late reading.B)They work hard and play hard.C)They like to go camping in summer.D)They try to earn more and spend more.22.What does the man say about the Swedish people? 【答案】B)They work hard and play hard.【解析】男士在談到瑞典的極晝天氣時,著重談了瑞典人在極晝天氣的工作情況,并進一步對瑞典人的工作習慣進行了評價。男士說道:“They’d like to work hard, but play hard, too.”瑞典人既能在工作時努力工作,又能在能玩時拼命玩。所以,本題答案為:They work hard and play hard.Conversation Two 【聽力原文】
Questions 23 to 25 are based on the conversation you have just heard.W: What kind of training does one need to go into this type of job? M: That’s a very good question.I don’t think there is any, specifically.W: For example, in your case, what was your educational background? M: Well, I did a degree in French at Nottingham.After that, I did careers work in secondary schools like the careers guidance people here is in the university.Then I went into local government because I found I was more interested in the administrative side.Then progressed on to universities.So there wasn’t any plan and there was no specific training.There are plenty of training courses in management techniques and committee work which you can attend now.W: But in the first place, you did a French degree.M: In my time, there wasn’t a degree you could do for administration.I think most of the administrators I’ve come across have degrees and all sorts of things.W: Well, I know in my case, I did an English literature degree and I didn’t really expect to end up doing what I am doing now.M: Quite.W: But you are local to Nottingham, actually? Is there any reason why you went to Nottingham University? M: No, no, I come from the north of England, from west Yorkshire.Nottingham was one of the universities I put on my list.And I like the look of it.The campus is just beautiful.W: Yes, indeed.Let’s see.Were you from the industrial part of Yorkshire? M: Yes, from the Woolen District.【聽力材料評析】這篇長對話圍繞男士的教育背景和職業發展展開。按順序分別談到男士從諾丁漢大學法語專業,畢業之后去了中學和政府工作,然后又進入了大學管理層。這期間,他并沒有刻意做過任何的職業發展計劃,也沒有接受過專門的相關職業培訓,主要是因為在他的讀書時代,并沒有可攻讀的管理學學位。對話最后談到了男士去諾丁漢大學讀書的原因是被其校園的優美風景所吸引。
這篇對話有一定難度。特別是關于男士職業的說法,考生未必熟悉。但考生不必緊張,因為主要的細節考查中,專業是法語、因為環境優雅所以選擇諾丁漢大學這兩題都不難聽出。
23.A)Management.B)French C)English literature D)Public Administration 23.What was the man’s major at university? 【答案】B)French.【解析】細節題。在第二輪對話中,女士問,“what was your educational background?”你是什么教育背景,男士回答說:“I did a degree in French at Nottingham.” 我在諾丁漢大學攻讀了法語學位,所以男士的專業是French。24.A)English teaching.B)Staff training.C)Careers guidance.D)Psychological counseling 24.What was the man’s job in secondary schools? 【答案】C)careers guidance.【解析】細節題。在說完“I did a degree in French at Nottingham.”之后,男士又接著說“After that, I did careers guidance in secondary schools.”因此,此題的答案應為:careers guidance。25.A)Its pleasant environment.B)Its worldwide fame.C)Its generous scholarship.D)Its well-designed courses.25.What attracted the man to Nottingham University? 【答案】B)Its pleasant environment.【解析】細節題。女士問:“Is there any reason why you went to Nottingham University?”你去諾丁漢大學是出于什么原因?男士在回答中說到,諾丁漢是我心中理想大學之一。緊接著他就說道:“And I like the look of it.”還進一步補充說明道:“ The campus is just beautiful.”因此,男士是因被其優雅環境所吸引而選擇去諾丁漢大學。所以,本題的答案為:Its pleasant environment.Section B Passage One
While Gail Obcamp, an American artist was giving a speech on the art of Japanese brush painting to an audience that included visitors from Japan, she was confused to see that many of her Japanese listeners have their eyes closed.Were they tuned off because an American had the nerve to instruct Japanese in their own art form? Were they deliberately tried to signal their rejection of her? Obcamp later found out that her listeners were not being disrespectful.Japanese listeners sometimes close their eyes to enhance concentration.Her listeners were showing their respect for her by chewing on her words.Some day you may be either a speaker or a listener in a situation involving people from other countries or members of a minority group in North America.Learning how different cultures signal respect can help you avoid misunderstandings.Here are some examples.In the deaf culture of North America, Many listeners show applause not by clapping their hands but by waving them in the air.In some cultures, both overseas and in some minority groups in North America, listeners are considered disrespectful if they look directly at the speaker.Respect is shown by looking in the general direction but avoiding direct eye contact.In some countries, whistling by listeners is a sign of approval while in other courtiers it is a form of insult.【聽力點睛】本文主要介紹不同文化中都是如何表示尊重的,以及如何利用這點來避免跨文化交流中的誤會產生。一開始先用一位美國藝術家Gail Obcamp做演講的故事來舉例子,引出對閉上眼睛這樣一種動作不同的理解;繼而發表了作者的看法:在和不同文化的人交流的時候,如果你懂得其他文化中是如何表達尊重的,可以避免誤會;接著又是例子,是關于北美洲聾啞人是如何用動作來交流的。還有一些國家,對同樣的手勢會有截然不同的理解,進一步驗證了作者的觀點。
做這篇題目的重點在于能夠迅速拎出來作者的觀點。Questions 26 to 28 are based on the passage you have just heard.26.What did Obcamp’s speech focus on?

這篇文章沒有什么生詞,難度較低。題目中考察細節問題比較多,需要同學們可以準確地在看到題目之后locate文章中對應題目的是哪一部分。
Questions 29 to 32 are based on the passage you have just heard.29.What is Chris’s main responsibility at Taxlong Company? A)Directing personnel evaluation.B)Buying and maintain equipment.C)Drawing up plans for in-service training.D)Interviewing and recruiting employees.【答案】 B)Buying and maintain equipment.30.What problem did Chris encounter in his Division?

A)A better relationship with his boss.B)Advancement to a higher position C)A better-paying job in another company D)Improvement in the company’s management 【答案】B)Advancement to a higher position.32 What do we learn about Kim from the passage?

作者又提到,一些諺語年代久遠。其中包含的價值觀隨著時代的變遷可能重要性也發生了改變。并且舉了Haste makes waste.和Time is money.這樣兩個例子。
作者最后再次表明,通過學習不同國家的諺語,會發現一些國家會有相同或者相似的價值觀,只是有可能表達的方式有所不同而已。
這篇說明文對考生的要求在于快速劃分出作者想說明的幾個點。一般通常寫說明文章的順序都是先說明要點,然后用一些事實來進一步說明。
Questions 32-35 are based on the passage you have just heard.33.Why are proverbs so important? A)They help us see the important values of a culture.B)They guide us in handling human relationships.C)They help us express ourselves more effectively.D)They are an infinite source of human knowledge.【答案】A)They help us see the important values of a culture.34.According to the speaker what happens to some proverbs with the passage of time? A)Their wordings may become different.B)The values they reflect may change.C)Their origins can no longer be traced.D)They may be misinterpreted.【答案】B)The values they reflect may change.35.What do we learn from the study of proverbs from around the world?
