SectionA

11.M:Whatwouldbelikeworkingwith

thoseyoungstars?

W:Itwasagreatgroup,Ialwaysgot

madwhenpeoplesaidthatwedidn,tget

along,justbecauseweweregirls,there

wasneverafight.Wehadagreattime.

Q:Whatdoesthewomanmean?

【解析】选项表明对话与女孩们之间的相处情况有关，而由［C］可推测

这些女孩很可能是一群年轻的明星（youngstars）o［D］与女孩们的

相处这一话题关系不大，与其他三项内容明显不同，故可初步排除。［B］、

［C］意思相近，均表示女孩们相处得不太好，故二者均不大可能为答案。

［A］则表示女孩们相处得非常好，与［B］、［C］同时相反，根据命题

规律，同时与两个意思相近的选项相反的选项很可能为答案。因此可初步

推测本题答案为［A］。听音时重点留意女孩们相处得如何（“好”还

是“不好”）。whatwouldbelike

doingsth.?意为“…怎么样？”，是用于寻问情况的一种常见句式。

12.［A］Thewomandoesherownhousework.

［B］Thewomanneedsahousekeeper.

［C］Thewoman，shouseisinamess.

［D］Thewomanworksasahousekeeper.

M:Areyoutellingmeyoudon'thaveahousekeeper?

W:No,wedon，t.Ifyoumakeamess,youcleanitupyourself.

Q:Whatdowelearnfromthisconversation?

【解析】选项中housework和housekeepe（r管家）表明对话与家务

活和管家有关。［C］是说房间的情况（房间很乱），而其他三项均是陈

述女士是否雇佣管家承担家务活有关，故［C］可初步排除。［D］是说

女士是一名housekeeper,根据常识，housekeeper的主要工作就是负责

管理家务，那她自己的家务活肯定是由她自己来做（［A］的内容），即

［D］成立，［A］就同时成立，因此［D］不大可能为答案。故听音时应

留意以下选项要点：woman—自己做housework；需要housekeeper。

makeamess意为“弄脏，弄乱”。

13.[A]TheEdwardsarequiteW:IhearthattheEdwardsarethinking

【解析】由选项中should,unwise等词可推测问welloff.

[B]TheEdwardsshouldcutdownontheirlivingexpenses.

[C]It'11beunwisefortheEdwardstobuyanotherhouse.

[D]It'stooexpensivefortheEdwardstoliveintheirpresent

house,ofbuyinganotherhouse.

M:Shouldtheybedoingthatwithalltheotherexpensestheyhave

topay?

Anyhow,theyareover70now,theirpresenthouseisnottoobad.

Q:Whatdoesthemanimply?

题应该涉及到看法或建议。选项中livingexpenses（生活开支）和buy

anotherhouse表明对话应与theEdwards的生活开支利购房计划有关。

[A]与此主题关系不大，且与其他三项内容明显不同，故可初步排除。

[D]是说theEdwards目前的住房开支太大，言外之意就是[B]（the

Edwards应该削减生活开支），因此[D]也不大可能为答案。故听音时应

重点留意以下两点：cutdownexpenses；unwisetobuyhouseo对话中

男士用反问语气（shouldtheybedoing…？）表示反对意见Theyshouldn'

tbedoing…11beunwise…todo…）。

14.[A]Thewomandidn，texpectittobesowarmatnoon.

[B]Thewomanissensitivetoweatherchanges.

[C]Theweatherforecastwasunreliable.

[D]Theweatherturnedcoldallofasudden.

M:Youlooklikeyouarefreezingtodeath.Whydon'tyouputthis

on?

W:Thankyou,itwassowarmatnoon.Ididn'texpecttheweather

tochangeso

quickly.

Q:Whatdowelearnfromtheconversation?

【解析】选项表明对话与天气变化和女士的反应有关。[C]是说天气预

报的情况，与主题不太相关，与其他选项内容明显不同，故可初步排除。

[A]是说没有料到天气突然变暖，[D]是说天气突然变冷，二者意思

正好相反，故很可能有一个为答案。因此听音时重点关注天气是突然“变

冷”还是“变暖”，另外也要注意对话中是否提到了女士对天气变化敏

感(sensitive)。抓住男士话中的freezingtodeath(冷得要命)即

可基本确定答案为[D]。unreliable意为“不可靠的"。Allofasudden

意为“突然，出乎意料地”。

15.[A]Ataclinic.

[B]Inasupermarket.

[C]Atarestaurant.

[D]Inanicecreamshop.

M:r11havethesteak,FrenchFries,andlet'ssee,chocolate

fordissert.

W:Oh,Oh,youknowthesethingswillruinyourhealth,toomuch

fatand

sugar,howaboutorderingsomevegetablesandfruitinstead?

Q:Wheredoestheconversationmostprobablytakeplace?

【解析】选项表明本题为“地点场景”类型。做这类题目时，在听音时要

注意捕捉符合某一地点场景特点的关键词，结合语境作出推断，一般这类

题目的信息词都不只一个，因此切忌听到只言片语就妄下结论。本题中如

只抓住前面的steak,FrenchFries,icecream和后面的vegetablesand

fruit等词，则很有可能会误选[B]。只有抓住关键词“order（点

菜）”才可以迅速确定答案为[C]O

16.[A]ThewomandidnotfeelanydangergrowingupintheBronx.

[B]ThemanthinksitwasquitesafelivingintheBronxdistrict.

[C]Thewomanstartedworkingatanearlyagetosupportherfamily.

[D]Themandoesn，tthinkitsafetosendan8yearoldtobuythings.

M:WhatwasitlikegrowingupinNewYork'sBronxDistrict?Was

itsafe?

W:Tome,itwas.ItwasallIknew.Mymomwouldsendmetothe

shopandI'd

goandbuythingswhenIwasabout8yearsold.

Q:Whatdowelearnfromtheconversation?

【解析】选项表明对话与在Bronx区成长或生活的安全状况有关。由选

项中feel,think等词可推测问题与某人的看法或感受有关。[C]是

说女士很小就开始工作养家，和主题关系不大，与其他选项内容明显不同,

故可初步排除。选项要点为：woman—nodanger；man—safe/notsafe。

故听音时重点应留意男士或女士是觉得Bronx区是'安全”还是“不安全”。

17.[A]Themanhasneverseenthewomanbefore.

[B]Thetwospeakersworkfor

M:Niceweather,isn'tit?Oh,I'veseenyouaroundtheoffice,but

Idon，tthinkwe'vemet,IamHenrySmith,Iworkinthesamecompany.

【解析】选项表明对话双方很可能是在同一家公

司或同一个楼层上班，但彼此可能不太相熟。[D]

项是说女士对市场研究感兴趣，没有提到男士的

[C]Thetwospeakersworkonthesamefloor.

[D]Thewomanisinterestedinmarketresearch.

theMarketResearchSection.

W:Nicetomeetyou,Henry.IamHelenGrant,IamintheAdvertising

Sectionontheninthfloor.

Q:Whatcanweinferfromtheconversation?

情况，与其他三项内容明显不同，故可初步排除。因此听音时应主要留

意以下要点：对话双方是在“同一公司”上班（[B]）还是在“同一

楼层"上班（[C]）；男士以前是否见过女士（[A]）o注意“Market

ResearchSection"与"AdvertisingSection,,应该属于同一公司的两

个不同部门，由此可判断男士和女士在同一公司上班。

18.[A]Thewomancan，ttolerateanynoise.

[B]Themanislookingforanapartment.

[C]Themanhasmissedhisappointment.

[D]Thewomanisgoingtotakeatraintrip.

M:Mam,Ihearyouhaveanapartmentforrent,canItakealook

atit?

W:Sure,you'rewelcomeanytimebyappointment,butIhavetotell

youthebuildingisclosetoarailwaywiththenoise.Youmight

aswellsavethetrip.

Q:Whatdowelearnfromtheconversation?

【解析】选项中noise,lookforanapartment和appointment表明对

话很可能与找公寓或看房子有关。[D]与其他三项内容几乎没有关联，

故可初步排除。因此听音时应重点留意以下要点：woman-can?ttolerate

noise；man—lookingforapartment,missappointmento[A]表示

找公寓的是女士，[B]则表示找工作的是男士，二者中很有可能有一个

为答案，因此听音时应重点辨别找公寓的是“男士”还是“女士”。

预览三道题各选项，由21题可推测对话中男士(Mr.Saunders)很可能

是在申请女士公司的职位。故对话很可能是围绕申请工作这一话题而展

开。

19.What'sthepurposeofMr.Thunder'svisit?

【解析】选项均为不定式表明本题很可能是关于某事的目的。而选项内容

都是关于男士与女士之间的活动，可推测本题很可能是关于男士拜访女士

的目的。由21题分析可知，对话是围绕男士申请工作这一话题展开，故

本题答案很可能为［B］“tobeinterviewed(面试)”

20.WhatisMr.Thunder'scurrentjob?

【解析】选项表明本题很可能是考查的是男士目前的工作。［B］、［C］、［D］

均表示他在为其他公司工作，［A］则是说男士自己经营一家小的贸易公司，

与“男士申请女士公司的工作”这一主题不符，也与其他三项内容明显不

同，故可初步排除。而从19题选项中的businessreport和stock

market可推测男士的工作比较可能为［C］（leadateamforbrokers）。

而［B］中的insurance（保险）和［D］中的publicrelations（公共关

系）在其他各题选项中均找不到任何线索。另外听音时应注意辨别男士是

在“大公司”还是在“小公司”工作，通过这一点便可排除两个干扰选项,

之后确定答案也就比较容易了。broker意为“保险经济人”。

21.Whatcanweconcludefromtheconversation?

【解析】选项［A］、［D］是女士对男士的看法，选项［C］则是男士对工作条

件的看法，故本题很可能与面试的结果有关。［B］是说男士申请的这份工

作所需承担的责任，与面试无关，与其他三项内容明显不同，故可初步排

除。［A］表示女士对男士不太满意，［D］则表示女士对男士很满意，二者

意思相反，故很可能有一个为答案。听音时应重点留意女士的态度如何。

Questions22to25arebasedontheconversationyouhavejustheard.

ifItoldthemIwasquitting.

预览四道题各选项，由22题可推测对话中女士(Karen)很可能对某一

课程缺乏兴趣或感

觉吃力，23题则涉及到Karen对专业的喜好问题，25题则表明对话很

可能与Karen更换

专业有关。综合来看，对话很可能是围绕Karen不满目前专业想调换这一

话题展开。

22.Whycan'tKarenconcentrateonthebook?

【解析】由worried,findittoohard,lackinterest可推测本题很

可能是与Karen对it的感受有关。由本题［A］中的seminar（讨论会）

及其他题选项中course,major等词可推测本题中it应该与某一课程

有关。［B］是说男士一直打扰Karen,与其他三项（Karen自己的感受）内

容明显不同，故可初步排除。而根据23题中prefer和enjoy可推测本

题很可能是与Karen的兴趣有关，即本题答案很可能为［D］。

23.WhyisKarenstartingtolikethecourselessandless?

【解析】根据上题分析，选项中boring,poorlydesigned与prefer,

enjoy表明本题很可能是关于Karen对该课程缺乏兴趣的原因有关。两

道题结合起来分析，问题应该是Karen主观方面的原因引起的。因此本

题的答案应主要在［C］和［D］之间选择，重点辨别Karen是更喜欢

uphilosophy（哲学）"还是更喜欢uliterature（文学）"。rather

than意为“而不是”。

24.WhothinksPhilosophygraduateshavelimitedjobopportunities?

【解析】选项均为人物角色表明本题是针对“who”进行提问。联系对话

主题，本题很可

能与影响Keren对课程或专业的喜好或选择的人有关。听音时注意辨认

选项中的关键词。

Haveone'sbestinterestatheart意为“处处为某人的利益着想”。

25.WhatisKarenthinkingofdoing?

【解析】选项均为现在分词表明本题为考查“行为活动”类型。［B］与对

话主题及其他选项均无关系，故可初步排除。［D］是说要退出大学，而根

据对主题的分析，对话主要涉及的是专业问题，没有提到要退学的问题，

故本题答案更可能在［A］和［C］之间选择。而［C］选项是说转到外语系，实

际上也是改变专业，包含在［A］之内，故本题答案最有可能为［A］。注意这

里的quit是指退出现在的专业，而不是指退出大学，选择答案时需根

据上下文，切忌根据常识进行判断。

预览四道题各选项，由反复出现的bury,body,grave等词可推测本文

与尸体在墓地的安藏有关。

26.WhatmustGreeksdotokeepthedeadrestingineverlastingpeace?

【解析】选项均为动词原形表明本题为考查“行为活动”类型。四个选项

均与埋藏尸体有关，［B］项概念太泛，其他三项都较具体，故［B］不大可能

为答案。［A］表示“租”墓地，而［D］表示“买”墓地，二者中很可能有

一个为答案，听音时应重点关注。Everlasting意为“持久的”。根据

首句中0nlyrichpeople…就可基本确定答案为［D］（没有钱就买不起墓

地）。

27.WhyaremostdeadbodiesinAmphonsdugupafterthreeyears?

【解析】选项均为不定式表明本题很可能是考查做某事的目的或原因。根

据短文主题及选项中decayed,move等词可推测，［B］中的they和［C］

中them应该是代指“bodies”。根据［B］、［D］选项内容可推测本题很

可能是与移动尸体的目的或原因有关。听音时应留意表示因果关系的连

接词。一般这类询问目的或原因的题目往往是在问题上做句型的转换，也

就是对原文的同义转述，答案则经常是原文的细节辨认，因此听音时应重

点留意以下要点：lackofland；ifdecayed；religion；multistorey

graveyardo

28.Whatsuggestionsdoesthechurchgiveabouttheburyingofthe

deadbodies?

【解析】选项表明本题很可能是关于尸体埋藏的方式。由选项中的should

可推测本题很可能与建议或意见有关。故听音时应重点留意表达建议或意

见的词句。［D］是说在尸体部分腐烂的时候将尸体下藏，不太符合逻辑，

可初步排除。［A］是说埋藏时将尸体躺着放，［B］则是说埋藏时将尸体立着

放，二者正好相反，故很可能有一个为答案。本题的选择可结合27题，

如考生能确定27答案为［A］,便可基本确定本题答案为［B］(buried

standingup—saveland-solvetheproblemoflackofland)。

29.WhatpracticedoestheGreekchurchobjectto?

【解析】选项均为动名词表明本题为考查“行为活动”类型。四个选项均

表示处理尸体的方式，故本题很可能是关于除埋藏以外的其他处理尸体的

方式。［D］是说三年后将尸体挖出，仍然与埋藏尸体有关，且不属于尸体

的安置方式，与其他三项内容明显不同，故可初步排除。听音时应留意以
