答案解析：

1.Kickingoffcollegelifecansometimescausemuchanxietyinthe

heartofafreshmanbecauseofalltheunknowns.本句为简单句。句中使

用了kickoff这个惯用表达，本意是“（足球等比赛中的）开球”，后引申为“开

始”，在作文中使用该表达会为文章增色。becauseofalltheunknowns表示

“因为未知的一切"。2.Theorientationeventsaredesignedtooffer

studentsanoverviewofthecompleterealmofcollegelife,rangingfrom

academictosocialactivities.本句为简单句。句中使用了两个重要的表达，

一个是bedesignedtodosth.表示“旨在做某事”，相当于beaimedatdoing

sth.o另外一个是rangefrom...to...表示“范围从...到...”，是表示范

围之广的常用表达。3.Throughlecturessharedbyclubleaders,students

i

canlearnaboutthevariousstudentorganizationsinwhichtheycanbe

involved.本句为主从复合句。主句是studentscanlearnaboutthevarious

studentorganizations,后面是inwhich引导的定语从句，修饰先行词

organizations,其中beinvolvedin意为“参与；卷入；涉及"，在该定语从

句中介词in提至关系代词which之前，使句式更加简洁、凝练。由于一切未知，

开启大学生活有时会让大一新生的内心产生诸多焦虑。为了帮助新生适应新的环

境和学习，学院将组织为期一天的迎新活动。迎新活动的目的是让学生全面了

解大学生活，包括学术活动、社会活动等等。一方面，通过校园地图和游览，新

生们将熟悉学校建筑的实际位置和功能。另一方面，（学校）会专门为大一新生组

织各种各样的活动，包括讲座、破冰活动和派对。著名教授的学术讲座将让学生

们对大学的学术生活有一个大致的了解。通过社团负责人的演讲，学生可以了解

到他们可以参加的各种学生组织。派对或破冰活动可以帮助他们扩大朋友圈，缓

解焦虑。总之，迎新活动是大学新生活的指导。学院将利用所有的校园资源来

确保它的成功。

about50kilometersoffencing.（大火被扑灭后，由于家产众多，这家人不

得不即刻对大火给农场造成的破坏进行修复。他们把一条约50公里长的围栏也

重建了），由此可知，选项D为正确答案。新闻末尾提到，农场主一家的摄像机

给Prickles录了像，但是他们安装摄像机的最初目的是为了监控鹿的活动，只

是顺便给Prickles录了像，故选项A不符合新闻内容。其余两个选项，新闻均

未提及，故可排除。

我的答案：

参考答案：A

答案解析：

［听力原文］Q：Whatisthenewsreportmainlyabout?新闻开头就提

至ljTonsofgoldhavefallenoutoftheskyinRussiaafteracargoplane

malfunctionedinmid-airthismorning.（俄罗斯一架货机今天早晨在半空中

发生故障，数吨黄金从空中坠落），接下来继续描述该事件的来龙去脉，故选项

A为正确答案。新闻中提到，发生意外事件的飞机装载着价值不菲的黄金和钻石,

但是新闻只提到了黄金意外掉落，并未提及钻石是否掉落，所以选项D错误。选

项C“通过空运转移数吨贵重金属”只是新闻的细节内容，不是新闻的主题，本

篇新闻报道的重点是飞机上的黄金意外掉落，故排除。选项B新闻并未提及，可

排除。

Technicalengineerswhoworkedontheplanepriortotake-offare

myoldonebeforeyoumadethepayment.（哦，可能与我的新卡有关。它是

在星期二寄给我的。也许在你们付款之前，银行就把我的旧卡注销了），由此可

知此题选A项。女士提到银行把她的旧卡注销了，男士接着提醒她需要在网站上

更新银行卡信息，这表明更新银行卡信息并不是女士提出来的，故排除D项。
