本题【7.1分】你的得分：0听前预测：四项均以to开头，可推测该题考查目的；四项均含有与工作相关的词（workersemployerandemployees，production)。该题考查做某事的目的，着又举例说在某个工厂中，背景音乐促使产量增加了4.5%,故可知正确答案为想要提高产量，故C错误。A、B两项中均未提及，故排除。4

本题【7.10解题思路：三项含有deposit；三项含有与租房有关的词（lease,landlord,contract)；四项都以动词头，都是祈使句。本题要考查的内容很可能与租租约，而且必须交付押金。D项反映了这两点信息，故为答案。短文中的leaseDcontract意思相同，指的都是“契约，合同”。[A]Whentheyarethreeyears[B]Beforeof[C]Aftertheyaresixyears[D]Betweenthreeandsixyears

本题【7.10解题思路：四项都以they开头；三领含有与左撇子有关的词（left-handednotascreativeas，moreathletic)they撇子作比较的情况。听音时要注意分辨they指代的内容。[A][B][C][D]

本题【7.1分】你的得分：0解题思路：四项都以because开头；四项描述的都是they的特征。本題应该whythey间感比较好。故选D。SectionC(共10题，共141.99998分Directions:Inthissection,youwillhearrecordingsoflecturesortalksfollowedbysomequestions.Therecordingswillbeplayedonlyonce.Afteryouhearaquestion,youmustchoosethebestanswerfromthefourchoicesmarkedA),B),C)andD).ThenmarkcorrespondingletteronAnswerSheet1withasinglelinethroughthe[A]Theydescribehowhabitsaffectour[B]Theyareonissuesfacingofficeworkers[C]Theyinvestigatethefunctionofthe[D]Theyrevealhowmemoriesare

本题【14.20将重点放四项的关鍵信息上（trackparticipants’memories,providedexcitingimages,stimulatedvolunteers'memories,causedsubjectstoforgettheirmemories)。与者的，故A项为正确答案。其他三项均与讲座内容不符。

[C]Itleadstopoorqualityoflifeandenvironmentalhealth[D]Itslowstheeconomicgrowthofthewhole 本题【14.20fromdiseases，twobillionpeoplediefrom,poorqualityoflifeandenvironmentalhealthproblems，economicgrowth）。卫生问题以及较低的经济增长水平，而且会导致一些更难以衡量的问题，比如尊严和安全问题。因此可以得出C项为正确答案：文中还提到，每年有近200万人死于腹泻，其中很多都是发展中国家的五岁以下的儿童，由此可排除选项A和B；D项在 [A]Theboomingeconomyhelpsallthepeople shakeoff [B]Therapidurbanizationisthebiggestobstaclehinderingitsfurtherdevelopment. isboundtoembracearapideconomicdevelopment ernmentshouldputthepriorityonsanitationandcleanwaterforeconomicdevelopment. 本题【14.20；四项均出现与经济发展有关的词汇（shakeoffpoverty,rapidurbanization,arapideconomicdevelopment)，本题考查的内容应该与rapidurbanization,embracearapideconomicdevelopment,putthepriorityonsanitationandcleanwater)。阻碍该国经济的进一步发展。因此，卫生设施和清洁用水是发展议程的头等大事。由此可以得出D项为正确答案。A项为干扰选项，文中只是说繁荣发展的经济帮助成千上万人民摆脱了贫困，并非所有人。快速只是阻碍经济发展的因一，但并非最大的因素，故排除B项；C项与原文 [A]Itwillshareexpertiseandglobalpracticeswithotherpartnersabouturbanwaterandsanitation. [B]Itwillbringcleanwaterandsanitationservicestoall [C]Itwilldemonstrateinnovativemodelsinenvironmentalpollutionandsanitation.[D]Itwillprovidefundstosupportwaterandsanitation. 本题【14.20（willshare,willhelp，willdemonstrate,willprovide)，由此推断题目可能考查某种事物的作用或意义。听时应将重点放在每项的词语上servicesto,demonstrateinnovativemodels,providefunds)。解析：后半部分提到，沙阿还与城市开发部联合宣布将成立新的水清AC金支持”的内容，但前者是和签署的一项协议的内容，后者[A]Theycouldpaylesshousingrentin[B]Theyencounteredlanguageandculturalbarriers[C]TheywantedtoexperienceChinese[D]Theycould ernmentsubsidybyliving 本题【14.20（housingcosts,languageandculturalbarriers,Chineseculture,ernmentsubsidy)。文化而涌入街。由此可知，选项B是正确答案。[A]Theyplantorenttheirhousestonew[B]Theyaregoingtoselltheir[C]Theymayreplacetheirhouseswithhigh-rise[D]Theyintendtokeeptheirhousesforprivate 本题【14.20解题思路：四项均以they表示计划的词汇(planto,aregoingto,intendto)they解析：中间部分提到，将于十月停止对这一公寓楼群的，房东们则计划将其变成现代化的公寓。由此可知，没有，博物馆区的房主C。其他三项文中均未提及，可排除。[A]ChinatownisimportantinpreservingChinese [B]ChinatownisadvantageoustotheSino-foreigncultural[C]ChinatownishelpfultospreadChinese[D]ChinatowncanmakeChineseabroadexperienceChinese 本题【14.20解题思路：四项均以Chinatown开头，且都提到Chineseculture。本题考查的应该是Chinatown和Chineseculture之间的关系，听音时将重点放在四项的关鍵词上（preservingChineseculture,Sino-foreignculturalexchanges,spreadChineseculture,experienceChineseculture)。解析：后半部分提到，汤姆•方表示，当谈到维系中国文化时，街举将我们的文化代代相传。”由此可知，汤姆•方认为街在维系中国文化方面很重要。故正确答案是A。其他三个选项本身的表述没有错误，但文中没有涉SectionA(1题，共35.5分Severewinterstormshaveworsenedthenation'susualpost-holidaybloodshortage,26(1)anurgentcallforpeopletodonateblood.TypeObloodisthemosturgentlyneeded,becauseitisthe bloodmeaningitcanbesafely28(3)tomostpeopleinanemergency."Theseverewinterweatherhasforcedthecancellationofblooddrivesandlimitedour29 tocollectblood,"AmericanRedCrossElizabethDolesaid.TheRedCrossreportedhavinglessthanoneday'ssupplyofTypeObloodonhandin18oftheorganization's38collectionregions.TheRedCross30(5)abouthalfofthenation'sbloodsupply.America'sBloodCenters,whichsmostoftherest,alsohasreportedshortages.Reactingtotheshortage,aPittsburghbloodbankasked40hospitalsinwesternPennsylvania,WestVirginiaandOhioto31 electivesurgeriesthroughWednesday.Atleast1,000donorsareneededeachdayforthenextseveraldaystostabilizethesupply,saidMarkLynch,spokesmanfortheCentralBloodBank."We'retalkingabout(postponing)hipreplacement,forexample,andorthopediccases.Thesearesickpeoplewhoneedsurgery,butit'snotlife32 ,"hesaid.Whenitsbloodsupplyis33 ,thebloodbankneedsabout700donorseachdaytomaintainnormalinventory.ThePittsburghbloodbanklastaskedhospitalstopostponeelectivesurgeriesbecauseofabloodshortageinOctober1995.Suchprocedureswerecanceledforalmostaweek.Nationwide,donationstypicallyfalloffduringtheholidays,when etoobusytogiveblood34(9)Badweatherincreasesshortagesbothby35accidentvictims.threateningI)popularJ)regularlyL)receivesM)abilityN)universalO)
