What is Saffo according to himself?答案:forecaster解析 6-10W: Mr. Saffo, youve been called a futurist, but you say you hate that term. Talk about that.M: Mm I dislike the term because its not an accurate description of what I

12、 do. For me, futurists are people whore excited about the future. They usually have an agenda of some sort. But what I am is something more boring. That is, I just forecast, I dont predict. I am a technology forecaster, and I spend most of my time looking at electronic technologies. So, Im looking a

13、t information technology very largely, and typically out 5 to 10 years, sometimes as long as 30 years, depending on the project.W: who pays you to de this? Do you work for companies who need this information?M: The Institute for the Future is a non-profit foundation that does work for private compan

14、ies and government agencies. A whole variety of different folks pay us to help them understand things, and we also do free work. Being a non-profit foundation, our basic mission is to encourage people to think systematically about the long-range future. The heart of what we try to do is convince peo

15、ple that it is a meaningful exercise to think systematically about the long range future.W: What are the personal qualities that make you good at what you do?M: Mm, curiosity, er, what else?

Our unit of work is the team, and you need to have high levels

17、 of trust and cooperation among team members. People need to really like and trust each other.解析 本题考查细节理解。问题是在问Saffo所从事的职业，在听原文的时候就要注意听有关他职业的论述：“That is，I just forecast，I dont predictI am a technology forecaster”，在这句话中Saffo先生第一次用了一个动词forecast来描述自己的工作，接下来，原文中用了一个描述自工作的名词a technology forecaster来描述Saff

18、o所从事的工作，这才是本题的正确答案。2. The Institute for the Future provides services to private companies and答案:government agencies解析 本题考查细节理解。在回答这道问题的时候，首先应当把握住题干中出现的关键词The Institute for the Future。这是寻找这道试题在原文中位置的依据，如果这个专有名词在原文中出现了很多次，那么应当把握另一个关键词语，即题干中的private companies这个词。这一道问题所对应的原文中和我们所读到的问题有一点点差异：The Institut

19、e for the Future is a non-profit foundation that does work for private companies and government agencies。但原文中的这一表达方式不难理解，在做这道试题的时候也完全可以捕捉到这道试题在文章中的位置，因此就不难解决。3. The Institute believes that to think systematically about the long-range future is答案:meaningful解析 本题考查细节理解。在英语中如果是不定式作主语的话，那么一般说来用it作形式主语，当

20、了解了这一点以后，就可以想象到在原文中，这句话可能是这么说的：it is_to think systematically。我们需要填的是一个表语。在听这个问题的时候，一定要注意题干中的关键词 the long-range future。4. To succeed in anything, one should be flexible, curious and答案:open to change解析 本题考查细节理解。在读这道题的时候一定要记住本题中的两个敏感词汇flexible和curious。当听原文的时候，只要听到这两个词的第三个并列词汇就可以了。5. What does Saffo con

21、sider to be essential to the work of a team?答案:Trust and cooperation解析 本题考查细节理解。问题中提供了一个非常重要的信息，这个问题问的是对于the work of a team最重要的是什么?因此我们要注意听这几个词；另一方面因为这是最后一道试题，所以它的位置我们也比较容易确定，这就为我们的解题提供了另一个方便。Part CDirections: You will hear three dialogues or monologues.

22、 seconds to read the questions related to it. While listening, answer each question by choosing A, B, C or D. After listening, you will have 10 seconds to check your answers.

What do we often do with the things we love?A.Ask for their names.B.Name babies after them.C.Put down their names.D.Choose names for them.答案:D解析 11-13 One of the first questions anybody asks about a newborn is, What is the babys name? Faced with

24、 this tiny pink newborn, we want to put a name to it; as if by doing so, we welcome it to this world of individuals. We always name the things we love; a small child will give names to even his tiniest toys, or his well-chewed blanket. And the difference between Blankie and the blanket is an entire

25、personality. There are many ways to choose a name for a baby. One of the most common is to use an old family name. If the family tie is strong enough, parents are often willing to overlook an unpleasant feeling or meaning. If all the men for five generations have been named Brendan, who are you to c

26、omplain that the name means smelly hair? But inspiration need not be limited to the family tree. Pick an attribute; pick the name of the Italian city where the baby was born. Name the baby after your favorite poet, or an interesting saint. It can be difficult to find the perfect name for your baby,

27、but the beauty of the process is this: by the time the baby is a few months old, his personality erases all other associations the name may hold. The evil snake, or the much loved poet, fades away; and the name becomes quite simply the name of your child; and you will have made the right choice. 解析

28、在做这道题目的时候，一定要集中精力听试题里面的关键词语 the things we love，第一段中我们就可以直接得到这道题的答案：We always name the things we love。因此，正确答案是D。2. The unpleasant meaning of an old family name is often overlooked ifA.the family tree is fairly limited.B.the family tie is strong enough.C.the name is commonly used.D.nobody in the famil

29、y complains.答案:B解析 本题考查推理判断的能力。在听原文的时候就要注意听题干中的关键词语an old family name，这是解答这道试题的关键。原文中关于这个问题是这么说的：“If the family tie is strong enough，parents are often willing to overlook an unpleasant feeling or meaning”。3. Several months after a babys birth, its name willA.show the beauty of its own.B.develop more

30、 associations.C.lose the original meaning.D.help form the babys personality.答案:C解析 本题考查推理判断的能力。这道问题中的关键词应该是Several months after，当我们听到有关这一句话的内容时，我们就要集中精力：“By the time the baby is a few months old，his personality erases all other associations the name may holdThe evil snake，or the much loved poet，fade

31、s away”。如果听懂fades away在文中的意思“逐渐消失”，那么我们就能得到这道题的正确答案C了。 Questions 14-16 are based on the biography of Bobby Moore, an English soccer player. You now have 15 seconds to read Questions 14-16. (如需获取本MP3听力录音请搜索标题名) 1. How many matches did Moore play during his professional career?A.90.B.108.C.180.D.668.答

33、9 years and 668 matches, a record with no match so far in England. Moore was born in Barking, East London, in 1941. His full name was Robert Frederick Moore. He began playing club soccer in the early 1960s. He was named Englands Footballer of the Year from 1963 to 1964. Moore was known for his sport

Moore retired from playing in 1977, and after spending brief periods managing professional soccer teams, he concentrated on developing a sport marketing com

35、pany and doing media work. He was sports editor of Sunday Sport from 1986 to 1990, and a regular commentator for Londons Capital Radio Station from 1990 to 1993. After Moore was diagnosed with cancer, he went public with his battle in 1991, and continued to work until his death in 1993. 解析 本题考查细节理解。

36、读题以后就要注意听原文中的数字，一有数字出现，我们必须集中精力。如果有多个数字出现时，我们就要注意听这道题中的关键词professional career这个词，如果从这两方面着手来解答这道问题，那么我们就可以完全保证这道题的正确率。2. In 1964, Bobby Moore was madeA.Englands footballer of the year.B.a soccer coach in West Germany.C.a medalist for his sportsmanship.D.a number of the Order of the British Empire.答案:

37、A解析 本题考查细节理解。我们可把它看成数字题，原因是：题中有一个年代1964，这样，在听原文的时候只要听到有这个年代的原文，那么这句话肯定包含着我们所需要的答案。3. After Moore retired from playing, the first thing he did wasA.editing Sunday Sport.B.working for Capital Radio.C.managing professional soccer teams.D.developing a sports marketing company.答案:C解析 本题考查细节理解。这道试题的解答有一定的

38、难度，涉及时原文的理解。原文中说，这个人退役后于了两件事情：“after spending brief periods managing professional soccer teams，he concentrated on developing a sport marketing company and doing media work”。我们在解答这道问题时，首先要确定问题中的关键词：retired，然后确定问题在原文中的位置。再根据这两句话的前后顺序可知，这个人首先做的工作应当是managing professional soccer teams，其次是developing a spo
