"What?" I asked.    "I just won a sales contest at work and the  (2)   is dinner for two at the new fancy restaurant down by the river-front !"    She was so  (3)  . We knew the restaurant was extremely good. "See? I told you there would be a  (4)   for me to wear my new spring outfit," she shyly reminded me.    "  (5)   can play at that game," I responded, "I will wear my gray suit, my Borsalino-imported straw hat and a new silk tie. We will be well  (6)  ." It was early  (7)   and nearing dusk as the waiter took us to a table by a window, with a(n)  (8)   of the river. And the table was  (9)   set, with a smoke-gray table cloth and bright colored napkins.    A delicious meal  (10)   in such an atmosphere should be remembered a long time. As it  (11)  , this will probably never be forgotten.    As the shadows lengthened, the  (12)   rocking by the riverbank, I murmured, "Why not take a walk?"    Hand in hand, we walked by the stores. People smiled and nodded. "I  (13)   realized there were so many  (14)   people as we have seen this evening, dear," I observed.    "Probably your new straw hat or your  (15)  ," she said.    After receiving many smiles, we  (16)   ourselves back at the restaurant, looking at ourselves in the  (17)  . It was then that I saw the  (18)   for all the smiles.    Caught in the fly of my trousers and  (19)   down for all to see was a bright red  (20)   from the restaurant! A sigh B breath C surprise D thought 【正确答案】：B 【本题分数】：1.0分 【答案解析】 考查名词与搭配。sigh叹息(一般与breathe、give连用)；breath呼吸(一般与take、hold、have等连用)；surprise惊讶(一般与give连用)；thought想法(一般与have连用)。take a deep breath指“深吸一口气”(表示惊讶等)，符合语法和语境。 第2题 A chance B choice C praise D prize 【正确答案】：D 【本题分数】：1.0分 【答案解析】 考查名词与上下文理解。chance机会；choice选择；praise表扬；prize奖品，奖赏。由前文中的won a sales contest(赢得销售竞赛)可知应选prize。 第3题 A nervous B interested C excited D serious 【正确答案】：C 【本题分数】：1.0分 【答案解析】 考查形容词与上下文理解。由后面一句所说的那家饭店非常棒及常识可知这里应选excited(兴奋的)。nervous焦急的，不安的；interested感兴趣的；serious严肃的。 第4题 A restaurant B place C dinner D contest 【正确答案】：B 【本题分数】：1.0分 【答案解析】 考查名词与上下文理解。restaurant饭店；place地点；dinner晚餐；contest竞赛。由上下文可以看出，这里指的是有穿上春天户外装的机会或者地方，故选place。其余三项填入都不合逻辑。 第5题 A Two B Four C Everyone D Nobody 【正确答案】：D 【本题分数】：1.0分 【答案解析】 考查上下文理解。文章始终描述的是作者夫妇的经历，男主人公想表示，这样美好的场合任何人都不应该随随便便，故选否定代词nobody。注意play at指“随便应付，马虎对待”。 第6题 A mannered B built C dressed D fed 【正确答案】：C 【本题分数】：1.0分 【答案解析】 考查搭配。be well mannered有礼貌的(多拼作be well-mannered)；be well built建筑得很好的；be well dressed穿戴得体的；be well fed喂养得很好的，吃得好的(多拼作be well-fed)。由于前面一句谈论的是两人的打扮，所以应选[C]。 第7题 A spring B summer C autumn D winter 【正确答案】：A 【本题分数】：1.0分 【答案解析】 考查名涮与上下文理解。由前文妻子话中的wear my new spring outfit可知应当选spring。 第8题 A appearance B expression C picture D view 【正确答案】：D 【本题分数】：1.0分 【答案解析】 考查名词与上下文理解。appearance外表；expression表达(法)；picture图片；view景色。由于这里指的是窗边的座位能看到河的景色，因此选[D]。 第9题 A orderly B strictly C beautifully D cleanly 【正确答案】：C 【本题分数】：1.0分 【答案解析】 考查副词与上下文理解。由后面状语的说明(烟褐色的桌布、色彩亮丽的餐巾)可知这里作者强调的是餐桌布置得很漂亮，因此选beautifully。 第10题 A tasted B enjoyed C served D prepared 【正确答案】：B 【本题分数】：1.0分 【答案解析】 考查动词与上下文理解。taste尝；enjoy欣赏，享受；serve提供，服务；prepare准备。由于文章是从作者夫妇的角度进行叙述，他们又是在饭店吃饭，所以应用[B]。 第11题 A turned out B worked out C came out D figured out 【正确答案】：A 【本题分数】：1.0分 【答案解析】 考查固定搭配。turn out最终是，最后是；work out制定，算出；come out出来，泄露；figure out想出，理解。这里是一个总起句，由下文的描述可以看出指的是作者的这一经历最终变成了一种终生难忘的经历，含有结果义，因此选[A]。 第12题 A lights B chairs C trees D boats 【正确答案】：D 【本题分数】：1.0分 【答案解析】 考查上下文理解。空格后的动词rock(摇晃)用于指船、车等，而句中的地点状语又是by the riverbank(在河岸边)，所以只能选[D]。 第13题 A almost B surely C never D seldom 【正确答案】：C 【本题分数】：1.0分 【答案解析】 考查副词与上下文理解。由句意与后文内容可以看出对他们微笑的人很多，因此这里指的是作者从来没有见过这么多对他微笑的人，选否定副词never。 第14题 A humorous B joking C funny D friendly 【正确答案】：D 【本题分数】：1.0分 【答案解析】 考查形容词与上下文理解。humorous幽默的；joking开玩笑的；。funny有趣的；friendly友好的。由于此时作者并没有发现是自己身上的餐巾惹人发笑，他认为人们对他微笑的原因肯定是因为人们友善，所以根据逻辑发展选[D]。 第15题 A kindness B friendliness C strangeness D carelessness 【正确答案】：B 【本题分数】：1.0分 【答案解析】 考查名词辨义与上下文理解。kindness和善；friendliness友好；strangeness奇怪，奇异；carelessness粗心。同样，此时作者妻子也未发现人们对他们微笑的真正原因，因此猜测是作者自己的友好引得人们回报他以友好，选[B]。 第16题 A found B saw C took D slowed 【正确答案】：A 【本题分数】：1.0分 【答案解析】 考查动词用法。find含有不知不觉中发现某种情况的意思，其后跟反身代词宾语和介词、副词结构(find oneself in／at／back etc．)，符合上下文语境和逻辑。其余三项都没有这一用法。 第17题 A glasses B plates C picture D window 【正确答案】：D 【本题分数】：1.0分 【答案解析】 考查名词与上下文理解。glasses眼镜；plates盘子；picture图片；window窗子。由于后文说他们在其中看到了自己，因此只能选[D]。 第18题 A answer B expression C reason D effect 【正确答案】：C 【本题分数】：1.0分 【答案解析】 考查名词与搭配。reason(原因)后用介词for，这里指人们微笑的原因，符合上下文与搭配。 第19题 A running B hanging C looking D falling 【正确答案】：B 【本题分数】：1.0分 【答案解析】 考查固定搭配。run down跑下，撞死，(使)停下；hang down垂下；look down向下看，瞧不起；fall down落下。由上下文与常识可知，这里指作者裤子拉链上挂着一条餐巾，因此才引人发笑，故选[B]。注意前面的fly指裤子的拉链。 第20题 A napkin B tablecloth C cup D fork 【正确答案】：A 【本题分数】：1.0分 【答案解析】 考查上下文理解。由前面的修饰语bright red、前文描述餐巾时的bright colored napkins及空格后的from the restaurant不难推知应选[A]。[B]不可能挂在裤子上很久而不被作者发现。 二、Reading Comprehension（共10小题,共20.0分）Read the following three texts．Answer the questions on each text by choosing A, B, C or D． 第1题 Obviously television has both advantages and disadvantages.    In the first place, television is not only a convenient source of entertainment, but also a comparatively cheap one. With a TV set in the family people don't have to pay for expensive seats at the theatre, the cinema, or the opera. All they have to so is to push a button or turn a knob, and they can see plays, films, operas and shows of every kind. Some people, however, think that this is where the danger lies. The television viewers need do nothing. He does not even have to use his legs if he has a remote control. He makes no choice and exercises, no judgment. He is completely passive and has everything presented to him without any effort on his part.    Television, it is often said, keeps one informed about current events and the latest developments in science and politics. The most distant countries and the strangest customs are brought right into one's sitting room. It could be argued that the radio performs this service as well; but on television everything is much more living, much more real. Yet here again there is a danger. The television screen itself has a terrible, almost physical charm for us. We get so used to looking at the movements on it, so dependent on its pictures, that it begins to control our lives. People are often heard to say that their television sets have broken down and that they have suddenly found that they have far more time to do things and that they have actually begun to talk to each other again. It makes one think, doesn't it?    There are many other arguments for and against television. We must realize that television itself is neither good nor bad. It is the uses that it is put to that determine its value to society. What is the major function of paragraph 1? A To arouse the reader's concern. B To introduce the theme of the whole passage. C To summarize the whole passage. D To state the primary uses of TV. 【正确答案】：B 【本题分数】：2.0分 【答案解析】 分析推理题。短文第一段只有一句话：Obviously television has both advantages and disadvantages(显然，电视既有优点又有缺点)。由文体知识可知，对于这种以提出对立的两个方面(advantages and disadvantages)开篇的短文来说，开篇一般就是文章主旨。阅读后文，我们又发现在后面两段中，每一段都是围绕着这一主题展开讨论，都是先指出电视的优点，再指出其缺点(danger)。而最后一段则是进行总结、提出结论。由此可以得知，短文第一段就是主旨段，其作用自然就是引出文章主题，即[B]项了。其余三项都不是这一段的真正作用：[A]项指“引起读者注意”，[C]项指“(最后)总结整篇文章”，应是文章论述完之后才会出现；[D]项指“指出电视的主要作用”。 第2题 Television, as a source of entertainment, is ______. A not very convenient B very expensive C quite dangerous D relatively cheap 【正确答案】：D 【本题分数】：2.0分 【答案解析】 细节题。对应的信息在短文第二段第一句：In the first place，...but also a comparatively cheap one(首先，电视……而且比较便宜)，[D]中的relatively就是该句中comparatively的改写，它们都指“相对地，比较地”。[A]、[B]两项都正好与原文意思相反，而[C]项则属于抓住段落中danger一词进行的随意发挥。 第3题 Why are some people against TV? A Because TV programs are not interesting. B Because TV viewers are totally passive. C Because TV prices are very high. D Because TV has both advantages and disadvantages. 【正确答案】：B 【本题分数】：2.0分 【答案解析】 分析推理题。由前面题目的分析可知，第二、三两段每段中都指出了电视的优缺点，根据题目意思，自然应当从这两段中的“缺点”部分去寻找答案。短文第二段后半部分首先指出：Some people...think that this is where the danger lies(有些人认为这正是电视的危险所在)，然后分析了他们这样认为的原因：The television viewers need do nothing...without any effort on his part。这些原因综合起来就是说，电视观众完全是一种被动的信息接受者，这也就是[B]项的意思。而第三段后半部分所谈的缺点则是电视过多地占据了人们的日常生活。结合这些方面，可以确定本题答案就是[B]。其余三项都明显不对。 第4题 One of the most obvious advantages of TV is that ______. A it keeps us informed B it is very cheap C it enables us to have a rest D it controls our lives 【正确答案】：A 【本题分数】：2.0分 【答案解析】 细节题。将选项一一与短文第二段、第三段的前半部分进行对照可知，只有[A]项对应于第三段第一句：Television...keeps one informed about current events and the latest developments in science and politics(电视使人们了解时事以及科学和政治领域里的最新发展)，因此就是本题答案。有些考生误选了[B]项，属于没有发现选项中very一词与原文中comparatively一词的不同。[C]项指“能让我们得到休息”，在文中没有提及。[D]项指“控制我们的生活”，它属于电视的缺点而非优点，并且该选项也与原文不符。 第5题 According to the passage, whether TV is good or not depends on ______. A its quality B people's attitude towards it C how we use it D when we use it 【正确答案】：C 【本题分数】：2.0分 【答案解析】 细节题。对应的信息在短文最后一句：It is the uses that is put to that determine its value to society(是电视的用途决定着它对社会的价值)，因此[C]项就是本题正确答案。注意这是一个强调句，主干是It is the uses that determine...，而that is put to则是uses的一个定语从句。the uses that is put to相当于选项中的how to use it。 第6题 Cars account for half the oil consumed in the US, about half the urban pollution and one-fourth the greenhouse gases. They take a similar oil of resources in other industrial nations and in the cities of the developing world. As vehicle use continues to increase in the coming decade, the US and other countries will have to deal with these issues or else face unacceptable economic, health-related and political costs. It is unlikely that oil prices will remain at their current low level or that other nations will accept a large and growing US contribution to global climatic change.    Policymakers and industry have four options: reduce vehicle use, increase the efficiency and reduce the emissions of conventional gasoline-powered vehicles, switch to less harmful fuels, or find less polluting driving systems. The last of these — in particular the introduction of vehicles powered by electricity — is ultimately the only sustainable option. The other alternatives are attractive in theory but in practice are either impractical or offer only marginal improvements. For example, reduced vehicle use could solve traffic problems and a host of social and environmental problems, but evidence from around the world suggests that it is very difficult to make people give up their cars to any significant extent. In the US, mass transit ridership and carpooling have declined since World War II. Even in western Europe, with fuel prices averaging more than $1 a liter (about $4 a gallon) and with easily accessible mass transit and dense populations, cars still account for 80 percent of all passenger travel.    Improved energy efficiency is also appealing, but automotive fuel economy has barely made any progress in 10 years. Alternative fuels such as natural gas, burned in internal-combustion engines, could be introduced at relatively low cost, but they would lead to only marginal reductions in pollution and greenhouse emissions (especially because oil companies are already spending billions of dollars every year to develop less polluting types of gasoline). From the passage we know that the increased use of cars will ______. A consume half of the oil produced in the world B have serious consequences for the well-being of all nations C widen the gap between the developed and developing countries D impose an intolerable economic burden on residents of large cities 【正确答案】：B 【本题分数】：2.0分 【答案解析】 分析推理题。文章第一段分析了汽车给全世界带来的不利影响，其中第三句指出：As vehicle use continues...and political costs，其中的these issues指的就是第一句中所说的燃油、城市污染和温室气体等问题，因此综合起来就是[B]的意思。 第7题 The US has to deal with the problems arising from vehicle use because ______. A most Americans are reluctant to switch to public transportation systems B the present level of oil prices is considered unacceptable C other countries will protest its increasing greenhouse emissions D it should take a lead in conserving natural resources 【正确答案】：C 【本题分数】：2.0分 【答案解析】 细节题。答案对应于第一段最后一句：It is unlikely...that other nations will accept a large and growing US contribution to global climatic change，即别的国家不会同意让美国对全球气候变化的影响越来越大，与[C]一致。 第8题 Which of the following is the best solution to the problems mentioned in the passage? A The designing of highly efficient car engines. B A reduction of vehicle use in cities. C The development of electric cars. D The use of less polluting fuels. 【正确答案】：C 【本题分数】：2.0分 【答案解析】 细节题。第二段首先提出了几种解决汽车带来的问题的选择，然后在第二句说：The last of these...is ultimately the only sustainable option(最后一种——尤其是引入电动汽车——才是最终唯一可持续的选择)，因此本题选[C]。 第9题 Which of the following is practical but only makes a marginal contribution to solving the problem of greenhouse emissions? A The use of fuels other than gasoline. B Improved energy efficiency. C The introduction of less polluting driving systems. D Reducing car use by carpooling. 【正确答案】：A 【本题分数】：2.0分 【答案解析】 分析推理题。第二段第三句首先指出，除了找到污染较少的驱动系统(如电动汽车)外，其他选择在理论上很诱人，而在实际应用中要么不实用，要么改善不了多少。而在最后一段继续举例对此进行说明，第二句提到替代燃料如用天然气成本较低(说明可行)但减少不了多少污染和温室气体排放。选[A]。 第10题 Which of the following statements is true according to the passage? A The decline of public transportation accounts for increased car use in western Europe. B Cars are popular in western Europe even though fuel prices are fairly high. C The reduction of vehicle use is the only sustainable option in densely populated western Europe. D Western European oil companies cannot sustain the cost of developing new-type fuels. 【正确答案】：B 【本题分数】：2.0分 【答案解析】 细节题。文章只在第二段最后一句提到了西欧，是以它为例，说明减少汽车使用量不可行的原因，故[C]明显不对；它谈论的是油价，没有涉及到新型燃料，因此[D]不对；[A]的意思与这一句中的with easily accessible mass transit正好相反，也是错误的；只有[B]与这一句的意思相同。 三、Writing（本大题2小题．每题15.0分，共30.0分。You should write your responses to both Part A and Part B of this section on ANSWER SHEET 2． ） 第1题 Write a letter to a publishing house asking for information on a book about American culture. Your letter should include:    (1) the name of the book;    (2) the price of the book;    (3) the discount of group order.    You should write approximately 100 words. Do not sign your own name at the end of the letter. Use "Li Ping" instead. You do not need to write the address. 【正确答案】： Dear Sir(s),    I am a university student majoring in English. We are going to have a course about American culture next term. My professor recommended a book called Essential to the American Culture to us, which is said to have been published last month and is selling well. So I want to ask some information about it. Could you tell me the price of the book plus the postage and packing? What's more, I wonder if there is a discount if I make a group order of 30 for my class. Your reply will be appreciated. Thank you!     Yours Sincerely,    Li Ping [本题分数]： 15.0 分 【答案解析】 [写作要点]    (i) 由于信函写作一般不要求考生写地址，所以格式问题不大。考生应把重点放在要点的表达、语言的组织上。    (ii) 不要加入太多与表达要点无关的表述。比如自我介绍，一两句带过即够。    (iii) 表述上注意多元化，不要太过生硬和随意。 第2题 Study the following graph carefully and write an essay on the topic Private Car Ownership in China Increased Rapidly. You should:    (1) describe the graph;    (2) account for the implied meaning; and    (3) state your view.    You should write about 120 words and make full reference to the graph.     【正确答案】： Private Car Ownership in China Increased Rapidly    As is shown in the graph, the number of private car ownership in China increased approximately six times from more than 2 million in 1,994 to over 13 million in 2004,which is a blessing as well as a curse.    To begin with, the graph implies that China has been developing rapidly since 1990s and Chinese have become more wealthy.  But it also means a heavy burden on our urban traffic because those increased cars demand more roads and more efficient administration. In addition, it means more problems to the quality of our urban living: more waste gas discharge, noise and fatalities in traffic accidents. The rapid increase of private cars also poses a great challenge to our energy section, especially when energy is in short supply all over the world and the oil price keeps climbing.    In my view, measures should be taken to control the rapid growth of private cars. Firstly, we should popularize private cars. Secondly, public transportation should be given priority. Only in these ways can we enjoy the convenience brought about by modern civilization. [本题分数]： 15.0 分 【答案解析】 [写作要点]    (i) 这是提纲与图表结合的作文，阐释图表时重点注意的是图表所揭示的发展、变化等的趋势及与自己想表达的主题有关的数据和材料，不要过于细致。    (ii) 写作时注意应包括提纲所给的所有要点。如果提纲是中文，切忌逐字翻译；如果提纲是英文，不能将其原封不动地照搬。    (iii) 考生应根据图表和提示先写出每一个段落的主题句，然后扩展成段，再完成全文。    (iiii) 注意语言的规范性和逻辑上的严密性。 none、四（共Reading Comprehension(子母填空)小题,5共分）5.0 第1题 Paul Smith:    Hello, everyone. Today let's talk about study performance. Perhaps you are an average student with average intelligence that you will never become a top student. This is not necessarily the case, however. In my opinion, our concentration on studies is of most importance to us. Concentrating on our studies, everyone is likely to be a top student without additional work. Now it's for each of you to discuss how we manage it.    Carol:    From my personal experience, the planning of time is of the greatest importance. We must make a list of our weekly tasks. Then make a schedule or chart of the time. Fill in committed time such as eating, sleeping, meetings, classes, etc. Then decide on good, regular times for studying. Good planning will make you more aware of how you spend your time. Furthermore, it will enable you to plan your activities so that you have adequate time for both work and play.    Siemon:    As to me, it is important to develop a good attitude about tests. The purpose of a test is to show what you have learned about a subject. So don't worry excessively about a single test. Tests provide grades, but they also let us know that we need to spend more time studying,  and they help make our new knowledge permanent.    Laura:    I do think that study place is critical in our study. A good study area is supposed to improve our study efficiency. It may be a desk or a chair at home or in the school library, but it should be comfortable, and it should not have distractions. When you begin to work, you should be able to concentrate on the subject.    Davis:    I think regularity matters a lot. In class, we should listen carefully to what the teacher says, go over the notes as soon as possible after class and review important points mentioned in class as well as those we remain confused about. This will help us understand the class better. If we review the notes and textbook regularly, the material will become more meaningful and you will remember it longer.  Statements [A] To ensure your study efficiency, you should choose a good study area. [B] If you set your mind on your studies, you'll become a top one. [C] Regularity plays nothing more than anything in studies. [D] Regularity plays an critical role in our studies. [E] Your school performance depends on your study habits. [F] We should develop a good attitude towards tests. [G] It's important to have a good planning of our school time. Paul Smith 【正确答案】： [B] [本题分数]： 1.0 分 【答案解析】 可以看出，Paul Smith是讨论的组织者，但同时他也发表了自己的看法。他首先指出智力平平的学生不一定成不了好学生，然后说：Concentrating on our studies，everyone is likely to be a top student without additional work，即如果将精力集中在学习上，每个人都有可能成为成绩最好的学生，这与[B]一致。 第2题 Carol 【正确答案】： [G] [本题分数]： 1.0 分 【答案解析】 在这篇材料中，其他几名发言者的第一句话都直接提出了发言者自己的观点，答题时相对较为容易。就本题来说，Carol的第一句话中提到：the planning of time is of the greatest importance，表明她强调的是对学习时间的计划，选项中只有[G]提到了planning一词，因此是正确答案。 第3题 Siemon 【正确答案】： [F] [本题分数]： 1.0 分 【答案解析】 Siemon的第一句话指出，他认为培养对待考试的正确态度很重要：it is important to develop a good attitude about tests，然后对自己的观点进行了阐述。选项中[F]与这一句完全一致，故是正确答案。 第4题 Laura 【正确答案】： [A] [本题分数]： 1.0 分 【答案解析】 Laura提出的是学习地点至关重要的观点：I do think that study place is critical in our study，然后指出好的学习场所有利于提高学习效率，选项[A]与此相符。 第5题 Davis 【正确答案】： [D] [本题分数]： 1.0 分 【答案解析】 最后的发言者Davis第一句话即指出：I think regularity matters a lot(我认为规律性很重要)，然后阐述了如何做到学习上的规律性和规律性对学习的好处。选项[C]、[D]都是说的regularity的问题，但前者对其作用是否定的，与Davis的观点相反，所以答案只能是[D]。 五、Listening Comprehension（共25小题,共25.0分） 第1题 How will the man get to San Francisco? A By plane. B By bus. C By car. D By train. 【正确答案】：B 【本题分数】：1.0分 【答案解析】 [听力原文] W: You're going to San Francisco tomorrow, aren't you? M: Yes, I thought I'd fly, but then I decided that taking a bus would be cheaper than driving or flying.    细节性判断题，只要仔细听清男士的回答即可。其回答中涉及了三种交通方式，但考生只需抓住I decided (that) taking a bus一处即可作答，flying和driving都属于干扰信息。 第2题 Where was the man when the woman called him? A He was on his way to where they should meet. B He was at home. C He was in his office. D He was at the main entrance. 【正确答案】：A 【本题分数】：1.0分 【答案解析】 [听力原文] W: Hi, John. What happened to you? I've been waiting for twenty minutes. M: Oh, I completely forgot about our meeting. I'm on my way. Please wait for me. W: OK. I'll wait for you at the main entrance.    本题属于判断对话中一方所处位置的地点题。关键信息点就是男士回答中的I'm on my way(我正在路上)一处。其余对话都属于增加听力难度的干扰信息。 第3题 What is the price of one watch? A 10 dollars. B 5 dollars. C 9 dollars. D 18 dollars. 【正确答案】：B 【本题分数】：1.0分 【答案解析】 [听力原文] M: How much is this electronic watch, please? W: Five dollars each and nine dollars for two. M: OK, I'll take one.    本题是一道数字题。男士一上来就用How much提问，所以考生应立即把注意力集中在女士的回答上：Five dollars each and nine dollars for two并记下价格与商品的对应关系，然后将其与题目对照就可选出正确答案。 第4题 What does the man suggest? A Touring the city on a fine day. B Visiting the city with a group. C Spending more time on sightseeing. D Taking himself with her on the tour. 【正确答案】：C 【本题分数】：1.0分 【答案解析】 [听力原文] W: I think I'll take the half-day tour of the city. M: Why not the whole day? W: I'd like to, but there are so many things I have to do in the afternoon.    对话中女士说她将用半天的时间来游览这个城市，男士则建议(Why not)：“为什么不用一天的时间(来游览这个城市)呢”，其用意显然是希望多花点时间来观光。 第5题 What does the woman imply? A She doesn't want to take the trouble to read the article. B She would like to have a copy of the article. C She has given the man much trouble. D She is not interested in the article. 【正确答案】：B 【本题分数】：1.0分 【答案解析】 [听力原文] M: Would you like to have a copy of Dr Smith's article? W: Thanks, if it's not too much trouble.    女士的回答为婉转表达，相当于肯定回答，因此答案为[B]。 第6题 How is the man today? A He's better. B He's sick in bed. C He's feeling worse. D He has recovered. 【正确答案】：A 【本题分数】：1.0分 【答案解析】 [听力原文] W: I heard you caught a cold. How are you feeling today? M: I can't complain. At least I'm out of bed. W: Take it easy. You should drink more water or milk.    本题关键是听清男士的话：“……至少我不再卧床不起”，这说明他今天好些了。 第7题 What does the man mean? A He needs another job as research assistant. B He asked Professor Williams for assistance. C He assists Professor Williams with his teaching. D He is doing research with Professor Williams. 【正确答案】：C 【本题分数】：1.0分 【答案解析】 [听力原文] W: John, are you doing research for Professor Williams this semester? M: Actually, I am working as his teaching assistant. W: You are lucky. It's a position where you can learn much from the professor.    本题仍是要听清男士的话，[C]中的assists Professor Williams with his teaching就是对男士回答中working as his teaching assistant的同义重述。 第8题 What was the woman probably trying to do? A Play a tape recorder. B Take a picture. C Repair a typewriter. D Start a car. 【正确答案】：A 【本题分数】：1.0分 【答案解析】 [听力原文] M: Did you check the power plug and press the play button? W: Yes. The power indicator was on, and it was running, but somehow the sound didn't come through. M: Take the tape out and try once again. Maybe you should check the output plug.    本题的关键词是the power plug(电源插座)、the play button(播放按钮)、the power indicator(电源指示灯)及sound(声音)。这些都是与放磁带有关的词汇。注意[C]项有一定的迷惑性，但由男士话语中的tape考生应该能加以排除。 第9题 Why can't Professor Hill answer her questions now? A He doesn't have time. B It's not his office hour. C He is too tired after class. D He will only be available in the afternoon. 【正确答案】：A 【本题分数】：1.0分 【答案解析】 [听力原文] W: Excuse me, Professor Hill, may I ask you a few questions? M: Yes, of course. But I'm sorry I have a class to attend. Why don't you come in my office hours, that's 4 to 5 p. m, Monday, Thursday and Friday?    本题女士向男士提出请求，男士回答说当然可以，但很抱歉我要去上课(这里but是转折关系，前面说“可以”完全是出于西方国家的客气和礼貌，but后才是男士真正所要表达的意思核心)，接下来男士提出建议(why don't…“为什么不……”)。由此即可知他不能回答的原因就是现在没时间，选[A]。 第10题 What can we conclude about the train from the conversation? A The train is crowded. B The train is late. C The train is empty. D The train is on time. 【正确答案】：B 【本题分数】：1.0分 【答案解析】 [听力原文] W: I'm sorry, sir. The train is somewhat behind. Take a seat, and I'll tell you as soon as we know something definite. M: Thank you. I'll just sit here and read a magazine in the meantime.    女士的第二句话中明确指出：The train is somewhat behind，即火车晚点了。然后她请男士坐下，并说一有消息就通知男士。因此答案是[B]。 第11题 What do Tom and Jane mainly discuss? A Tom's test. B Jane's research paper. C Go swimming at the Student Center. D Plans for the evening. 【正确答案】：D 【本题分数】：1.0分 【答案解析】 [听力原文] 11-13 M: Jane, let's go swimming at the Student Center. W: I'd like to, Tom, but I have a paper due on Friday, and I haven't even started it yet. M: Just an hour. I've got a test tomorrow, so I won't be able to stay very long. W: I need the exercise, but I just can't spare the time. M: Okay, how about dinner at the Grill? You have to eat something, and it's right by the library. I'll go over there with you after dinner, and you can do your research while I study for my test. W: Well, but... M: Come on. You'll probably want to stay late, and you shouldn't walk home after dark. I'll stay until you're ready to go. W: That would be nice, but... M: Look, we really wouldn't be wasting any time. We'd just be doing everything we need to do, but we'd be doing it together. I just want to spend time with you. W: Me, too. Okay. I need to go home first, then I'll meet you at the Grill about six. Is that all right? M: That's great. We'll get everything done. You'll see.    话中，由双方的语气可以看出男士一直在劝说女士和他一起活动，如游泳、吃饭、去图书馆等，而女士则因为要学习而不断拒绝，但最后还是答应了男士。由其中的go swimming、dinner、do your research、be doing it together等关键词可以看出，他们讨论的是晚上的活动，因此答案为[D]。 第12题 What does Tom suggest that they do after dinner? A They will go to the Grill. B They will go to the library. C They will go swimming. D They will walk home. 【正确答案】：B 【本题分数】：1.0分 【答案解析】 在第三轮对话中男士让女士和他去吃饭，说吃饭的地方在图书馆隔壁，并且说：I'll go over there with you after dinner，因此答案是[B]。 第13题 What does we learn about Tom? A He is not a student. B He is not a serious student. C He is not very concerned about Jane. D He is willing to compromise. 【正确答案】：D 【本题分数】：1.0分 【答案解析】 本题需要听完整个对话并进行一定的推断才能选出答案。在女士的一再拒绝下，男士不停地改变自己的计划，并最终得到了女士的同意，由此可知[D]正确。注意[C]与文意相反，男士妥协是因为他很想和女士在一起。 第14题 With whom is the man speaking? A His academic advisor. B Another student. C A ski instructor. D The college dean. 【正确答案】：B 【本题分数】：1.0分 【答案解析】 [听力原文] 14-17 M: Have you made any plans to go away during semester break? I've been thinking of skiing. W: I really haven't had time to think about my vacation. I've been concentrating on getting ready for my exams, especially philosophy. But I'll probably go to the beach. M: Why the beach? W: Well, it would be nice to get away from this cold weather and just lie in the sun and relax after working so hard. M: It's true that skiing does require work. And you have to get up early and wait in long lines for the chair lifts. Thanks. I think you help me make up my mind. W: Sure. Now maybe you can use your mind to think about something else, like your studies. M: Yeah, just as you said, I should focus more on study now, because the exams of various courses are approaching. If I cannot pass those exams smoothly, I will not have a good time in vacation. W: Absolutely! So now we should put the vacation aside temporarily and make good preparation for the exams. Do you want to go to the library with me now? M: Sure! Let's go!    细听整个对话，发现两人讨论的是放假、学习和考试，因此两人都应是学生，选[B]。 第15题 What has the woman mainly been thinking about? A The weather. B A vacation. C Going skiing. D Her studies. 【正确答案】：D 【本题分数】：1.0分 【答案解析】 在第一轮对话中，女士回答说：I've been concentrating on...philosophy。当男士在想像着自己的假期时，女士始终考虑的是学习。答案为[D]。 第16题 Where will the woman probably spend her vacation time? A At the beach. B At her job. C At a ski resort. D At the school library. 【正确答案】：A 【本题分数】：1.0分 【答案解析】 同样在第一轮对话中，男士问女士去哪儿度假，女士在最后一句中明确回答说可能去海滩：But I'll probably go to the beach，因此选[A]。 第17题 What does the woman think the man should do? A Take a trip to the beach. B Go to a ski resort. C Study for his exams. D Think further about his vacation. 【正确答案】：C 【本题分数】：1.0分 【答案解析】 在第三轮对话中，女士让男士考虑考虑别的事情，如学习，而在第四轮对话中又让他make good preparation for the exams，并且问他想不想和自己去图书馆，其意就是要他好好学习准备考试，选[C]。 第18题 Who is Smith speaking to? A The staff. B Professional journalists. C The faculty. D A group of students. 【正确答案】：D 【本题分数】：1.0分 【答案解析】 [听力原文] 18-21    Hello, I'm Harold Smith. As the editor of The Voice, I'd like to introduce you to our campus daily. We need volunteers to assist us in keeping the student body informed through our newspaper. Experience isn't absolutely necessary, but writing and typing skills are in great demand. We need people to rewrite articles, type, and proof-read. We could also use a good photographer.  Although many of our staff members are journalism majors, we also have several engineers and a pre-law student working for us. Since The Voice comes out five days a week, we need excellent students who know how to budget their time efficiently. Good grades are a prerequisite for working on the paper. There is some money for salaries depending on how involved you get with the paper, but don't expect to get rich. This isn't something you do for the money. Mostly it's just for fun. Anyone who is interested in joining the staff should speak to me immediately after this meeting. Be prepared to start right away. The first issue goes to press tomorrow.    本题要求考生在理解短文大意的基础上判断这篇讲话的听众。这是一则招募学生报纸志愿工作者的动员演说，因此其听众肯定是学生。注意选项[C]中的faculty意为“全体教员”。 第19题 How many days a week is The Voice printed? A One. B Two. C Five. D Seven. 【正确答案】：C 【本题分数】：1.0分 【答案解析】 独白第七句明确给出了答案：...The Voice comes out five days a week...，其中的come out就是题目中的be printed。 第20题 What is most likely the best reason for joining the staff? A To make lots of money. B To learn to type. C To become a better student. D To get experience in journalism. 【正确答案】：D 【本题分数】：1.0分 【答案解析】 独白后半部分指出：尽管根据志愿者的工作量会有部分薪水，但不要指望靠这个来赚钱。由此及常识可以推断出学生加入的原因应是获得经验。 第21题 When should volunteers expect to begin working? A Immediately. B Tomorrow. C In a couple of days. D In six days. 【正确答案】：A 【本题分数】：1.0分 【答案解析】 短文倒数第二句指出：Be prepared to start right way，其中的right away就是选项[A]的immediately。[B]项干扰性较大，但它是指报纸的第一期明天出版，而不是志愿者开始工作的时间。 第22题 How do the Americans think of the taxi? A It's a useful means of travelling. B It benefits a lot to all Americans. C It's hard to find all the time. D It is a luxury and Americans seldom take it. 【正确答案】：D 【本题分数】：1.0分 【答案解析】 [听力原文] 22-25    Today I'd like to say something about taxis. I think it's beneficial to all new-comers. Most people are likely to travel by taxi when they arrive in America. Actually, taxis here come under the heading of luxury travel. In Chicago, for example, the meter reads almost $1.00 before you even move! Furthermore, they're sometimes not only hard to find at the busy hours of a day but also if the weather turns bad.    Generally speaking, taxis are metered throughout the country, but there are some cities, for example, Washington D. C, where they operate on a distant zone system.    If you find yourself sharing a cab with several strangers, you will often be expected to pay full price, unfair though that may seem. Nothing is uniform in the US. Furthermore, rules vary from one city to another.    If you want to make a complaint about taxi service, note the driver's number and name. When you write to the company, be sure to keep a copy of your letter.    独自第四句指出：在美国，乘坐出租车(的费用)仅次于豪华旅行。这就是说，出租车在美国属于奢侈消费。由此可以推出，美国人应当是很少坐出租车的，选[D]。 第23题 How much would you pay if you shared a taxi with a stranger? A The full price. B Two thirds of its price. C The half price. D A third of its price. 【正确答案】：A 【本题分数】：1.0分 【答案解析】 独白倒数第四句指出：尽管看起来不合理，但与陌生人合坐一辆出租车时，you will often be expected to pay full price(常常要付全额费用)，选[A]。 第24题 When are taxis difficult to call? A In the evening. B In rush hours. C In the suburbs. D In crowded cities. 【正确答案】：B 【本题分数】：1.0分 【答案解析】 独自第六句指出：交通繁忙与天气不好时很难雇到出租车。其中的the busy hours就是[B]项中的rush hours。 第25题 What can you do if you are not satisfied with its service? A You can refuse to pay the money. B You can accuse the taxi driver later. C You can make a complaint to others. D You can do nothing to them in USA. 【正确答案】：C 【本题分数】：1.0分 【答案解析】 文章最后两句指出，如果想投诉出租车的服务，应记下司机姓名与号码；写信给出租公司时，注意保留一份投诉信的复印件。由此可知，如果不满出租车的服务，在事后是可以投诉的。注意[B]有一定的迷惑性，但其中的accuse指的是“指责，控告”，与complain是有一定区别的。 跟多试卷请访问《做题室》www.zuotishi.com
