6、3. What does the man mean?A.Theres been nothing but rain for quite some time.B.Hes bored with the changing weather.C.He thinks that itll rain for three more weeks.D.Hes bored about the topic on weather.答案:A听力原文W: I cant believe its raining again.M: Three weeks without a change is pretty boring,W: It

What will the woman probably do?A.Turn down the volume.B.Help the man study for a test.C.Play a different kind of music.D.Speak louder.答案:A听力

10、原文M: Do you have to play that music so loud? Ive got a test tomorrow!W: Sorry, I didnt realize you were studying.问题是问第二个讲话者的反应，也就是要理解此人对第一个讲话者的态度。第一个人抱怨她放的音乐声音太大，并进一步说他明天有考试(从而会影响他复习功课)。如果听懂第一个人的意思，再从第二人所讲的sorry就可以推测出她是满怀歉意的，并且她进一步解释她其实并“没有意识到他正在学习”(是无意的)，从而可以断定出她一定会将音量调小，符合A选项的意思。7. What does the w

11、oman mean?A.She forgot when the report was due.B.Shed like the man to help her with the report.C.She needs more time to finish the report.D.She hasnt included any data in her report.答案:C听力原文M: Pam, I dont understand the problem. Youve known for months this report was due today.W: I know.but Im afrai

12、d I need another few days.M: Can you give me a good reason?W: The data was harder to interpret than I thought it would be.解题的关键是要理解这里两个说话者的关系是师生之间的关系，第一个讲话者(老师)是在婉转地责备学生“报告(这项作业)已经布置了好几个月了，为什么还要延期递交”，而第二个讲话者说“I need another few days”说明学生显然是在要求老师再宽限几天时间。对话中的“be due”的意思是“到期了，该交付了”，而report是指“报告、论文”的意思，

13、最后一句话因为有虚拟语气，稍微难以理解，是说“数据比我原先想象的更难解释”，但好在与解题的关系并不很大。8. What does the man imply?A.The cat is a lot of trouble.B.The cat is quite friendly.C.He doesnt get along with Debbie.D.Hed glad Debbie gave him the cat.答案:A听力原文W: So how are you getting along with Debbies cat?M: Well, she never comes when I call

14、her, she spills her food, and she sheds all over the place.W: Oh, thats too bad! When will Debbie take her back?M: I even cant wait till Debbie gets back.解这道题的关键是搞清楚Debbie和cat的关系。如果能听出第一句话中的 Debbies cat就容易多了，知道Debbie是cat的主人，从而很容易理解第二句中的 she指的是那只猫，那只猫不听招呼，弄洒(spill)食物，还到处大小便(sheds all over the place)。

15、如果第二句听不出来，也问题不大，因为后面女生又评论“thats too bad”，从而可以推断出前面是批评的内容。理解到此对于选出正确答案已经足够了。后面无非是女生问“Debbie何时会将她(那只猫)领走”，而男生说“他甚至都等不及Debbie回来了”。9. What does the woman suggest the man do?A.Try to get a seat next to the window.B.Find another passenger going to Cleveland.C.Ask for information about the departure time.D

16、.Find out if there are any seats left on the bus.答案:C听力原文M: This crazy bus schedule has got me completely frustrated. I cant for the life of me figure out when my bus to Cleveland leaves.W: Why dont you just go up to the ticket window and ask?这是一道场景题，解题关键是要理解第一个人在抱怨巴士开车的时间太晚，“be frustrated”是“受挫，泄气”的

17、意思，“figure out”的意思是“琢磨出，想出”。第二个说话人是建议他“自己去售票窗口问问”，“ticket window”的意思是“卖票窗口”。10. What does the woman mean?A.She forgot to stop at the store.B.The man shouldnt eat the fish.C.The fish is safe to eat.D.The food shouldnt be reheated.答案:B听力原文M: I bought this fish to cook for my dinner tonight, but it doe

18、snt look all that fresh to me now.W: Lets take a look.M: Would you say its still all right to eat?W: Oh, if I were you, I wouldnt even think of it.解题的关键在于理解第二个讲话者的意思，句子使用虚拟语气意思是“如果我是你，根本都不会考虑(要吃这条鱼)，”从而知道她强烈建议他不要吃这条鱼，“be all right to do”的意思是“做没有问题”。Part B You will hear four dialogues or monologues.

19、Before listening to each one, you will have 5 seconds to read each of the questions which accompany it. While listening, answer each question by choosing A, B, C or D.

21、stay home. It s best to stay away from other people, so why don t you take a couple of days off from work?M: Yes, I will. And do you think I should stay in bed and rest?W: Its not really necessary to go to bed. Just as long as you stay indoors and rest. You know, watch TV or read.M: I see. Nothing t

Don t have a big meal. That way it ll be easier to rest.M: OK. Are you going to give me a prescription?W: No, I m afra

23、id there is really no medicine for the flu. You just have to rest and wait for it to go away. Medicine won t really do any good.2. What does the doctor say about aspirin?A.It will do the man some harm.B.The man can take it when he feels achy.C.The man doesnt have to take it.D.The man can take at lea

I just saw a program on TV that said that juvenile crime was increasing. And I want to ask your opinion because I know you work with a lot of y

26、oung people.M: Well, firstI think the media worsens the problem, and so does the school system. Where I live, we have thousands of security guards in the schools, and metal detectors, too. And the kids get searched as they go into school. Now all of that presents the wrong message. The kids dont fee

27、l like theyre going to school. They feel like theyre going to jail. And so they are more likely to become violent. I think its a cause and-effect relationship.W: So youre saying that the messages kids get from the media, and even from the school, are responsible for making them do bad things?M: Yes,

28、 I am. I think that every young person is essentially good. 1 mean you see students who are violent in class, but put them on a one-to-one basis, and they are usually very friendly. Its not that theyre really bad. Its that theyre the product of their environment. If you give them a more caring envir

29、onment, you really can change the kind of actions they take.5. What is the woman asking the man for?A.His opinions on juvenile crime.B.His opinions on social system.C.His opinions on the prevention of young people crime.D.His opinions on the behaviors of media and school.答案:A6. According to Frank, w

30、hy do kids get violent?A.Because the media teach them.B.Because the school is like a jail.C.Because the education system has problems.D.Because the environment makes them so.答案:D7. How can we prevent juvenile crime?A.Create a more caring environment.B.Improve the education system.C.Make the school l

31、ess like a jail.D.Educate kids on a one-to-one basis.答案:A (如需获取本MP3听力录音请搜索标题名) 8. What can actually motivate workers according to Frederick Herzberg?A.Job security.B.Good labor relations.C.Challenging work.D.Attractive wages and benefits.答案:C听力原文 18-21 Its logical to suppose that things like good la

32、bor relations, good working conditions, good wages and benefits and job security motivate workers, but one expert, Frederick Herzberg argued that such conditions do not motivate workers. They are merely satisfiers. Motivators, in contrast, include things such as having a challenging and interesting

33、job, recognition and responsibility. However, even with the development of computers and robotics, therere always plenty of boring, repetitive and mechanical jobs and lots of unskilled people who have to do them. So how do managers motivate people in such jobs? One solution is to give them some resp

34、onsibilities, not as individuals, but as a team. For example, some supermarkets combine office staff, the people who fill the shelves, and the people who work at the checkout into a team, and let them decide what product lines to stock, how to display them and so on. Many people now talk about the i

35、mportance of a companys shared values or culture with which all the staff can identify, for example, being the best hotel chain, or making the best, the most user-friendly or the most reliable products in a particular field. Such values are more likely to motivate workers than financial targets whic

36、h ultimately only concern a few people. Unfortunately, theres only a limited number of such goals to go around and by definition, not all the competing companies in an industry can seriously play in to be the best. 本题较难，因为涉及到听力中的一个特殊表达：独自第一句首先用“中but”的方式否定了things like good labor relations.motivate wo

37、rkers的观点，然后在第三旬指出：Motivators，in contrast，include things such as having a challenging and interesting job.，即Frederick Herzberg这个专家认为起激励作用的东西是工作的挑战性和趣味性等，选项中只有C项的表述与此句部分相符，故是正确答案。至于其他三项，它们都属于独白第一句中提到的内容，但都被该句中的but否定了，都应全部排除。 9. What does the speaker say about jobs in the computer era?A.Many tedious jo

38、bs continue to be done manually.B.More and more unskilled workers will lose jobs.C.Computers will change the nature of many jobs.D.Boring jobs will gradually be made enjoyable.答案:A本题带有推断性质，推断的依据是独白的第四句话：.even with the development of computers and robotics, therere always plenty of boring，repetitive

39、and mechanical jobs.，即Frederick Herzberg这个专家认为，即便电脑和机器人技术不断发展，但仍存在许多无聊乏味的、重复性的、机械的工作，仍存在许多做这些工作的非熟练工人，这与A项中的tedious(单调乏味的)和manually(手工地)正好对应，故该项就是正确答案。其余三项都属于抓住原文中的词句进行的不当发挥。10. What do some supermarkets do to motivate employees?A.Offer them chances of promotion.B.Improve their working conditions.C.

40、Encourage them to compete with each other.D.Give them responsibilities as part of a team.答案:D本题也带有推断性质，需要考生听清并听懂整个独白。很明显，激励超市员工工作是一个例子，既然是例子，就一定是为了说明独白者的某个观点，故考生要注意的就是例子前后带有总结性质的话语。听音中，我们发现for example前有一句指出：One solution is to give them some responsibilities, not as individuals, but as a part of a te

41、am(一个解决办法就是给予其某些职责，并非个人的、而是作为团队一部分的职责)，说明这就是一些超市的做法，因此本题答案就是D。11. Why does the speaker say financial targets are less likely to motivate workers?A.They will not bring real benefits to the staff.B.They concern a small number of people only.C.They are arbitrarily set by the administrators.D.They are b

42、eyond the control of ordinary workers.答案:B本题属于细节题，但需要考生在听清原文的基础上进行一定的推断。独白倒数二句指出: .financial targets which ultimately only concern a few people，其中的定语从句正是说明财务指标不如其他因素那样可能激励员工的原因：财务指标最终只会与一部分人相关。故本题答案为B。 (如需获取本MP3听力录音请搜索标题名) 12. what is the conversation mainly about?A.How to care for precious metals.B

43、.A standard unit for measuring weight.C.The value of precious metals.D.Using the metric system.答案:B听力原文 22-25W: Dr Thomas? This is Keet Bradley from Daily News. Id like to ask you some questions about the new official standard weight that you purchased.M: Id be happy to help you. What would you like

44、 to know?W: First of all, how was the standard weight used?M: Well, the people in our department use it to check the scales all over the country. The department of weights and measures, we are a government agency. Its our responsibility to see that all the scales measure a kilogram accurately so thi

45、s is the way we use to adjust the scales.W: How did you check the scales before?M: We have an old standard weight that we used to use. It had to be replaced because it was imprecise. You see it was made of poor quality metal that was too porous. It absorbed too much moisture.W: Oh. So when the weath

46、er was humid it weighed more and when it was dry it weighed less.M: Exactly. And that variation can affect the standards of the whole country. So our department had the new weight made out of higher quality metal.W: How much did it cost?M: About 45 thousand dollars.W: 45 000 dollars? For one kilogra

47、m weight? Thats more expensive than gold. Is it really worth that much?M: Im sure it is. Industries depend on our government agency to monitor the accuracy of scales so that when they buy and sell their products there is one standard. Think of the drug industry, for example, those companies rely on

48、high accuracy scales to manufacture and package medicine. 本题要求概括对话的主旨。首先，对话是Daily News的记者电话采访Dr Thomas。其次，对话中出现了许多与尺度有关的关键词，如：weight，measure等，所以我们可以肯定他们谈论的是B项中的“衡量重量的标准单位”。 13. How was the weight used?A.To check the accuracy of scales.B.To calculate the density of other metals.C.To observe changes i

49、n the atmosphere.D.To measure amounts of rainfall.答案:A本题答案信息对应于第二轮对话中男士回答的第一句：the people in our department use it to check the scales all over the country(我们部门的人用它来检查全国的秤)。14. Why was it necessary to replace the old standard weight?A.Someone spilled water on it.B.Someone lost it.C.It was made of low

50、-quality metal.D.The standard for measuring had changed.答案:C第三轮对话中男士介绍了old standard weight，指出它是由poor quality metal(低质量的金属)制成，而在第四轮对话中谈到new standard weight时又用了higher quality一词。因此，将旧的标准砝码换成新的就是因为它是由poor quality metal制成，从而导致不精确，选C。15. What does Dr Thomas probably think about the cost of the new weight?

51、A.It is a small amount to pay for so much precious metal.B.It is difficult to judge the value of such an object.C.It is reasonable for an object with such an important function.D.It is too high for such a light weight.答案:C本题问Dr Thomas怎样看待new weight的成本。对话中Dr Thomas并没有直接表明自己的态度，但可以通过最后一轮对话中女士的问题和男士的回答

52、推断出他认为it is worthwhile，故选C。Section Use of EnglishDirections: Read the following text. Choose the best word or phrase for each numbered blank and mark A, B, C, or D on ANSWER SHEET 1.
