8、nds, are disappearing. Traditional migration paths take birds through countries that are not protecting locations to stop, rest and feed. The scientists studied the migration, or flight, paths, of almost 1,500 species. They decided that 91 percent of them passed through dangerous areas. The major da

9、nger for migratory birds is development. Building and paving has covered over nature where birds stop and feed as they move from one part of the world to another. For example, a bird called the bar-tailed godwit migrates from its breeding grounds in the Arctic. It flies all the way to the southern h

10、emisphere in Australia and New Zealand. Along the way, the small birds stop at Yellow Sea mudflats in China, North Korea and South Korea One of the scientists who worked on the study says many of these critical sites have been lost to land reuse owing to urban, industrial and agricultural expansion.

11、 Why are bird species in danger according to the news report? 解析 新闻开头提到，因为鸟类的栖息地正在消失(because their habitats, or homelands, are disappearing)。C中的losing与disappearing同义，故正确。A“它们改变了传统的迁徙路线”，新闻只是说在它们的迁徙路线中有许多危险的区域，并没有说鸟类改变迁徙路线。B“它们主要住在危险的地区”中的dangerous areas在新闻中是说鸟类迁徙会经过许多危险区域，不是说它们住在危险区域。D“它们的栖息地未受到保护”，

12、新闻中鸟类危险的直接原因是栖息地的消失，“未受到保护”是后文的阐述，并不是直接原因。 2.A.The biggest danger for them is development.B.Few of their paths are dangerous.C.They never stop as they move.D.They have no place to feed as they move.答案:A听力原文 What do we learn about migratory birds from the news? 解析 新闻提到对于迁徙的鸟而言，最主要的危险是发展(The major dan

13、ger for migratory birds is development)，A与新闻表述一致，其中的biggest与major同义。B“它们迁徙的路途少有危险之处”与新闻内容相反，新闻中说大部分路途都有危险(91 percent of them passed through dangerous areas)。C“它们迁徙过程中从不停歇”和D“它们在迁徙时没有地方供它们觅食”都与新闻不一致。新闻中有几处地方都提到鸟儿会在迁徙的过程中停下来觅食(birds stop and feed as they move from one part of the world to another)，故C、

14、D错误。 3.A.Urban expansion.B.Land expansion.C.Agricultural expansion.D.Industrial expansion.答案:B听力原文 What is the reason for the lost of critical sites for migratory birds? 解析 新闻末尾部分提到，关键栖息地被用于土地复垦(many of these critical sites have been lost to land reuse)。B中的land expansion与新闻中land reuse同义，故B正确。A“城市扩展”

15、、C“农业扩展”和D“工业扩展”三项都不是栖息地消失的直接原因，而是间接原因。这三个内容在新闻中是并列出现的，不可能同时为答案。 (如需获取本MP3听力录音请搜索标题名) 4.A.First.B.Second.C.Third.D.Fourth.答案:C听力原文 The traditional two-party system of Spanish politics has been shaken up by the success of two new movements in the countrys general elections.

19、armonious.C.Strained.D.Close.答案:C听力原文 How is the relationship among the political parties? 解析 选项均为表示关系的形容词，推断本题问某两者之间的关系。新闻末尾的部分提到，在未来几天甚至是数周里，政党之间对话将会变得异常艰难。由此可知政党之间的关系紧张(strained)，故选C。A“友好的”和B “和谐的”是类似的，可先排除这两项。D“紧密的”和新闻内容相反。 (如需获取本MP3听力录音请搜索标题名) 6.A.To help around the farm.B.To entertain tourists

20、.C.To be sold for money.D.To be a vehicle.答案:B听力原文 Elephants are used to entertain foreign and domestic tourists in Thailand.

23、extra strain put on by the smuggling of live young elephants could threaten the long-term survival of the species in Myanmar.

25、考查什么可能为走私大象创造了机会。新闻中提到Elephants dont have to be registered there until they are eight years old，creating an opportunity for smuggling，指出大象在满8岁之前都不用登记，这为走私创造了机会，故答案为A。其他三项均与新闻内容不符，可排除。 Section BDirections: In this section, you will hear two long conversations.

33、at is the conversation mainly about? 解析 主旨题。男士想知道怎样在报纸上登广告，此后工作人员一直在为他介绍登广告的费用、具体的登法等等，因此答案为C。A、B两项在对话中虽然提到了，但并不是对话者谈论的主题；D在对话中并未提及。 2.A.Different types of ads cost differently.B.The more expensive an ad is, the more people will notice it.C.The larger the ad is, the more it costs.D.The more frequent

34、 the ad is, the more it costs.答案:B听力原文 What is not true about the rate of advertising on newspaper? 解析 细节题。女士的介绍非常清晰：广告类型不同价格也不同，主要考虑两点：一是版面大小，二是出现频率。A、C、D分别符合这三条。只有B是对“你的广告版面越大，花费就越多并且有更多的人注意到它”这句话的断章取义(后面两个the more结构是并列关系，不是因果关系)，故答案为B。 3.A.Most people prefer to advertise on weekends.B.More people

49、e, and encouraging him to descend. The goat, mindful only of his thirst, thoughtlessly jumped down, but just as he drank, the fox informed him of the difficulty they were both in and suggested a scheme for their common escape. If, said he, you will place your forefeet upon the wall and bend your hea

50、d, I will run up your back and escape, and will help you out afterwards. The goat readily assented and the fox leaped upon his back. Steadying himself with the goats horns, he safely reached the mouth of the well and made off as fast as he could. When the goat blamed him for breaking his promise, he

51、 turned around and cried out, You foolish old fellow!

How did the fox come out of th

52、e well? 解析 短文提到，狐狸跳上了山羊的背。利用山羊角站稳，然后安然地到了井口，并迅速地逃离。可见狐狸是从山羊背上跳出井口的，故A正确。山羊不是在井外，狐狸抓住山羊角也不可能爬出井，B不对；C、D很容易排除。对于故事性短文，可以先大体浏览一遍题目，看题目可能问到什么内容，然后认真听故事，尽量把听到的信息在脑海里转化为画面，最后再根据问题答题。对故事情节想象得越清楚，解题就越容易。 2.A.The water was sweet.B.The water had saved his life.C.He wanted to lure the goat to descend.D.He want

53、ed to comfort the goat.答案:C听力原文 Why did the fox sing high praise of the water? 解析 短文提到，狐狸大赞井水的好处，说它妙不可言，一再诱使山羊下井。故C正确。A、B以The water为主语，C、D以He wanted开头。本题可能问“水”怎么样，也可能问“他”有什么动机；根据故事的大致情节，听到问题应能很快判断出C正确。“与主题相关的选项正确。” 3.A.One is never too old to learn.B.Look before you leap.C.A friend in need is a frie

54、nd indeed.D.The early bird gets the worm.答案:B听力原文 What does the story try to tell us? 解析 结尾处狐狸的话揭示了故事的寓意：在检查是否有退路之前，绝不可贸然行事；绝不要陷入你无法从中解脱的险境。B“三思而后行”即是此寓意的高度概括。四个选项都是谚语，本题应当问哪一条谚语与这则寓言最贴切。从山羊的遭遇中，可以自然地得出B的结论。 (如需获取本MP3听力录音请搜索标题名) 4.A.The right hand.B.The left hand.C.Both hands.D.It depends.答案:B听力原文 A

55、pproximately 90% of people in the world are naturally right-handed. Why is this so, and are we born one way or the other? The answer to this question is rather complicated.
