7、etter.答案:C解析 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.

8、t 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 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

Where is Mr. Adams now?A.At the Sun Valley.B.At the Health Center.C.At home.D.At the office.答案:D解析 题干问：“亚当斯现在在哪里?”本题表面是很简单，但听录音的过程中，由于出现了干扰性的专有名词(包括地点名词)，很多考生往往抓不住关键的信息。在应试的过程中，如果出现这种情况而实在没有办法，可考虑选择

Text 1 Beauty has always been regarded as something praiseworthy. Almost everyone thinks attractive people are happier and healthier, have

43、better marriages and have more respectable occupations. Personal consultants give them better advice for finding jobs. Even judges are softer on attractive defendants. But in the executive circle, beauty can become a liability. While attractiveness is a positive factor for a man on his way up the ex

44、ecutive ladder, it is harmful to a woman. Handsome male executives were perceived as having more integrity than plainer men, effort and ability were thought to account for their success. Attractive female executives were considered to have less integrity than unattractive ones, their success was att

45、ributed not to ability but to factors, such as luck. All unattractive women executives were thought to have more integrity and to be more capable than the attractive female executives. Interestingly, though, the rise of the unattractive overnight success was attributed more to personal relationships

46、 and less to ability than that of attractive overnight success. Why are attractive women not thought to be able? An attractive woman is perceived to be more feminine (女性的) and an attractive man more masculine (男性的) than the less attractive ones. Thus, an attractive woman has an advantage in traditio

47、nally female jobs, but an attractive woman in a traditionally masculine position appears to lack the masculine qualities required. This is true even in politics. When the only clue is how he or she looks, people treat men and women differently, says, Anne Bowman, who recently published a study on th

48、e effects of attractiveness on political candidates. She asked 125 undergraduate students to rank two groups of photographs, one of men and one of women in order of attractiveness. The students were told the photographs were of candidates for political offices. They were asked to rank them again, in

49、 the order they would vote for them. The results showed that attractive males utterly defeated unattractive men, but the women who had been ranked most attractive invariably received the fewest votes. 1. The word liability (Line 4, Para. 1) most probably, means, _.A.misfortuneB.instabilityC.disadvan

50、tageD.burden答案:C解析 此词出现在第一段最后一句。在此句之前，作者叙述了beauty为人们带来的种种益处。此句句首的but表示转折关系，因此，此句表示beauty成为一种劣势。2. In traditionally female jobs, attractiveness _.A.reinforces the feminine qualities requiredB.makes women look more honest and capableC.is of primary importance to womanD.often enables women to succeed q

51、uickly答案:A解析 文章第六段中说人们觉得有魅力的女人比不那么有魅力的女人要更有女人特质。因此，在传统上是女人所从事的工作中，有魅力的女人具有一定的优势，但在传统上男人多从事的工作中，有魅力的女人看起来缺乏所需的男性特质。由此可推断出，在传统上是女人所从事的工作中，魅力加强了所需的女人特质。3. Bowmans experiment reveals that when it comes to politics, attractiveness _.A.turns out to be an obstacle to menB.affects men and women alikeC.has a

52、s little effect on men as on womenD.is more of an obstacle than a benefit to women答案:D解析 文章最后一段说“实验结果显示，有魅力的男性彻底击败了缺乏魅力的男性，而那些被认为最有魅力的女人都毫无例外地得到最少的选票。”由此可推断出，在政界，对于女性来说魅力是一个障碍，而不是益处。4. It can be inferred from the passage that peoples views on beauty are often _.A.practicalB.prejudicedC.old-fashioned

53、D.radical答案:B解析 文章第一段中说几乎每个人都认为有魅力的人比别人要更幸福，更健康，他们的婚姻更美满，并且拥有更令人尊敬的职业。在找工作方面，私人顾问给他们更好的建议。甚至法官对于有魅力的被告都手下留情。由此可以推断人们对于美的看法往往是带有偏见的，而没有事实依据。5. The author writes this passage to _.A.discuss the negative aspects of being attractiveB.give advice to job- seekers who are attractiveC.demand equal rights fo

54、r womenD.emphasize the importance of appearance答案:A解析 文章主要叙述了魅力给行政部门和政界中的女性所造成的不利，由此可见，作者写这篇文章是要讨论魅力的消极方面。Text 2 Lacking a cure for AIDS, society must offer education, not only by public pronouncement but in classrooMs. Those with AIDS or those at high risk of AIDS suffer prejudice; they are feared

55、by some people who find living itself unsafe, while others conduct themselves with a bravado (冒险心理) that could be fatal. AIDS has afflicted a society already short on humanism, open handedness and optimism. Attempts to strike it out with the offending microbe are not abetted (教唆) by preexisting soci

Such concerns impelled me to offer the first university-level undergraduate AIDS course, with its two important aims: To address the fact that AIDS is caused by a virus, not by moral failure or societal collapse. The proper response to AIDS is compassion coupled with an understanding of the disease itself. We wanted to foster (help the gr
