41、ryone here? 解析 “Hello，everyone：Is everyone here?”即“大家好!所有人都来了吗?”，是课堂上老师用来询问是否有人缺席的常用语。A选项“Mary is not here，because she is ill”(玛丽没有来，因为她病了。)是对这一询问的恰当回答，故选A。2B 听力原文 This restaurant is very good, do you think so? 解析 “This restaurant is very good，do you think so?”即“这家餐馆很不错，你觉得呢?”，“Do you think so?”一般用来

42、询问对方是否同意自己的看法。B选项“But the price is too high”(但是我认为价钱太高了。)委婉地表达了相反的意见，暗含丁这家餐馆是不错，但价格偏高，故选B。3C 听力原文 Can I help you? 解析 “Can I help you?”即“我能为您效劳吗?”是服务业的常用语。C选项“I want a seat near the window”(我想要个靠窗的座位。)是对这一用语的恰当回应，故选C。4D 听力原文 I'm sorry to hear that you were ill, what about you, now? 解析 “I'm so

43、rry to hear that you were ill，what about you，now?”即“很难过听说你病了，现在感觉怎么样?”，“What about you?”这一句式用来询问对方的健康状况。D选项“A little better，”(好了一点儿。)是对这一问候的恰当回答，故选D。5C 听力原文 It must have been snowing last night, do you think so? 解析 “I'm must have been snowing hast night，do you think so?”即“昨晚一定下雪了，你认为呢?”，“must ha

44、ve done”表示对过去事实的肯定推测。“Do you think so?”用于征求对方对同一问题的看法。C选项“Yes，the grounds are white”(是的，地面已经变白了。)是对这一问题的恰当回答，故选C。Section B Short Dialogues6C 听力原文M: Is it true you only spent $ 32 on two shirts?W: No, I only spent half of that.Q: How much does each shirt cost? 解析 在这段对话中，男士询问买两件衣服是否要花32美元，女士说只用一半，即16美

45、元，但问题是每件多少钱，所以还要再除以2，即8美元，故选C。7B 听力原文W: Would you like to see a menu?M: No, thank you. I already know what I want to order.Q: What is the relationship between the two speakers? 解析 从这段对话中我们得知，女士使用“Would you like.?”这一句式询问男士是否要看菜谱(menu)，而男士表示已经知道要点(order)什么了。menu和order都是餐馆的特征用语，所以可以判断女士是服务员，而男士是顾客，故选D。

46、8A 听力原文W: Weren't you nervous when the professor called on you in the class?M: I'd say I were shaking all over.Q: How did the man feel when he was called on? 解析 在这段对话中，女士询问男士课堂上教授要他回答问题(call on)时是否紧张，男士回答他全身都在发抖(shake all over)。由此可以推断当时他既担心、又害怕，故选A。9A 听力原文W: I'm sorry to have kept you wa

47、iting.M: That's quite all right. I have been here for nearly half an hour.Q: Why did the woman apologize to the man? 解析 在这段对话中，女士表示让对方等候很抱歉，而男士表示他已经等了她近半个小时。所以女士道歉的原因是她迟到了，故选A。 10B 听力原文M: It was the third time Ranger had phoned me to say he had a new job.W: It's difficult to keep a young man

48、 in one job for life nowadays.Q: What does the woman mean? 解析 这段对话中向我们透露了这样的信息，男士说罗格已经换了三次工作，女士接着说现如今很难让一个年轻人一辈子干一件工作，因此可以推断女士的意思是年轻人很少会干长一份工作，故选D。 Section C Short Passage听力原文 Dick was a sailor on a big ship. It went to Japan and Australia, so Dick was often on the ship for some months at a time. Wh

49、en he (11)woke up in the morning and looked out, he only (12)saw the sea, or sometimes a port. When he was twenty-three, Dick married and bought a small (13)house with a garden in his wife's town. It was (14)far away from the sea. Then he had to go back lo his ship, and was away (15) from home f

50、or two months. He went from the port to the town by bus, and was very happy to see his wife again. 11woke 解析 根据原文(11)处可得出答案。12saw 解析 根据原文(12)处可得出答案。13house 解析 根据原文(13)处可得出答案。14far 解析 根据原文(14)处可得出答案。 15from 解析 根据原文(15)处可得出答案。 Part Structute Section A 16C 解析 need，require等动词表示“需要”时，要用动名词或动词不定式的被动形式作宾语，

51、表示被动的含义，即need doing或need to be done，故选C。 17A 解析 whom 引导的宾语从句作wonder的宾语；而在从句中，whom作belong to的宾语。另外，在宾语从句中，主语和谓语的顺序应与陈述句相同，故选A。 18D 解析 由形容词最高级修饰的名词，其后的定语从句要用that引导，故选D。 19B 解析 since引导的是原因状语从句，表示“因为，由于”。其他选项与题意不符：although意为“虽然，尽管”，if意为“如果”，until意为“直到才”，故选B。20D 解析 在表示“要求”，“坚持”，“建议”，“命令”等动词后的从句中，谓语动词用“(s

52、hould) +动词原形”构成虚拟语气；在这里，省略了should，直接要加动词原形。这些动词的主语从句，如It is required that.，It is ordered that.，It is suggested that.等，也要用相同的形式，例如：It is suggested that we (shoulD) study hard(人们建议我们应该好好学习。) 21A 解析 该句虽然是直接引语的句子，但时间状语为by the end of last year(到去年为止)，这样直接引语中的谓语动词就构成了“过去的过去”，所以应该用过去完成时。四个选项中只有A是过去完成时时态，故选A。 22C 解析 形容词的比较级前不能加定冠词the，所以B，D不正确。elder主要用于指家庭成员，不符合题意，如：my elder brother(我的哥哥)，故选C。 23B 解析 以“only+状语”开头的句子要使用部分倒装，即把情态动词或助动词提到主语的前面，所以C、D不正确，但A选项的情态动词也不正确，故选D。24B 解析 如果主语为单数，尽管后面有with，together with，as well as，no less than，like
