。4、B[听力原文]WhatcanwelearnaboutYasifromthenews?[解析]新闻中指出，昆士兰州几天前就发出了飓风的预警，因此灾民有时间提前为灾害做准备(hadsometimetogetready)。B项“昆士兰民众已经为抗击飓风做了准备”正确。新闻中提到，昆士兰州听得很耳熟，因为它不久前刚刚遭遇洪水，A项与新闻内容相反。C项“无人员失踪或受伤的报道”在原文中并没有提到。新闻中讲的是一名官员称，这将是艰难的几天，D项利用couple一词制造干扰。5、A[听力原文]Indiaishometomorethan1.2billionpeopleandsecondonlytoChina'spopulation.Becauseofthathugepopulationandthefactthatit'safederalrepublicliketheU.S.Indiaisoftencalledtheworld'slargestdemocracy.India'spopulationisalsoyoung.Itsmedianageis27yearsold.IntheU.S.thatageiscloserto37.It'snowonderwhysomanyIndianswhoareclosetothevotingageof18arerealizingtheyhavepoliticalpower.Thisissomethingthatcountry'spoliticiansarenoticing,too.Manyyoungpeoplearefirsttimevoters.GiventhatIndia'syouthmakesuphalfofitsbillionpluspopulation,howIndia'syoungvotewilldeterminethecountry'sfuture.Theyareobviouslyreallyfrustratedwithcurrentpoliticalsituationintheircountry.TheonlygovernmenttheseyoungstershavereallyknownisthecurrentCongresspartyLedOne,whichisinpowerforthelasttenyears.Duringthattime,priceshaverisensharply.Thepriceofpetrolisdoubled.Someyoungpeoplearegoingtovoteforadifferentparty,onethatwillfightinflationandwilltakefirmactiontocontrolinflationinthedifficultglobaleconomy.WhatisthemedianageinIndia?[解析]新闻中提到印度人年龄的中位数(medianage)是27岁，故选A项。新闻中几处提到年龄问题，应注意辨别。B项是印度年轻人可以选举的年龄，C项是美国人年龄中位数。6、C[听力原文]WhatcanwelearnabouttheyoungpeopleinIndia?[解析]新闻中提到，印度年轻人18岁就有投票权，而由于他们占了总人口的半数，他们的投票意向会决定国家的未来，即哪个政党执政，故C项“他们有权力决定新政府”为答案。新闻中只是说年满18岁就可以行使政治权力(politicalpower)，并没有提到年轻人是否会拒绝行使这权力，A项“他们拒绝行使政治权力”无法得知。B项“他们希望到国外深造”没有在新闻中提到。新闻末尾提到，现在的执政党LedOne产生诸多问题，年轻人会选其他政党，故D项“他们支持现在的执政党”错误。7、D[听力原文]WhatisthecurrentlargesteconomicprobleminIndia?[解析]问题询问的是印度现在最大的经济问题，新闻中提到(priceshaverisensharply)，并举了油价的例子，因此答案是D项。A项“就业率低”和B项“房市崩溃”均没有在新闻中提到。新闻提到当前印度的政治状况明显堪忧，政府无法解决通货膨胀问题，但题目问的是经济问题，排除C项。SectionBConversationOne8、D[听力原文]W:Goodevening,andwelcometothisweek'sBusinessWorld,theprogramforandaboutbusinesspeople.TonightwehaveMr.StevenKayne,whohasjusttakenoveranestablishedbicycleshop.Tellus,Mr.Kayne,whatmadeyouwanttorunyourownstore?M:Well,Ialwayslovedracingbikesandfixingthem.WhenIwasworkingfull-timeasasalesmanforabigcompany,Iseldomhadtimetoenjoymyhobby.IknewthenthatassoonasIhadenoughmoneytogetmyownbusinessgoing,I'lldoit.IhadmyheartsetonitandIdidn'tletanythingstandinmyway.WhenIwentdowntothebankandgotabusinessloan,IknewI'dlovebeingmyownboss.Nowmytimeismyown.IopenthestorewhenIwantandleavewhenIwant.W:Youmeanyoudon'tkeepregularhours?M:Well,thesignonmystoresaysthehoursaretentosix,butifbusinessisslowerthanusual,Icanjustlockupandtakeoffearly.W:Haveyouhiredanyemployeestoworkwithyouyet?M:Yeah,acoupleoffriendsofminewholovebikingasmuchasIdo.Theyhelpmeoutafewdaysaweek.It'sgreatbecauseweplaycardsorjustsitaroundandtalkwhentherearenocustomers.W:Thankyou,Mr.Kayne.Wewishyousuccessinyournewbusiness.Whatisthewomandoing?[解析]根据选项推测本题问的是一位女士在做某事。女士一开始就说欢迎来到本周的商务世界，这是一个关于商务人士并且为商务人士提供服务的节目。据此我们可以判断女士是这一节目的主持人，因此选D。A“修理自行车”、B“做市场调查”及C“做商业管理的演讲”在女士的话中完全没有提及。对话开头便出现了关键词program，符合长对话“听到什么选什么”的原则。9、A[听力原文]WhatdidMr.Kaynedobeforehetookoverthebicycleshop?[解析]通过选项内容结合其所用的过去时态判断本题问男士过去的职业。男士说他在一家大公司作全职销售的时候很少有时间享受自己的爱好。由此判断他在开自行车店前是一名销售员，故应选A。B、D无中生有，C是根据对话中的男士说喜欢修理自行车(fixing)而设置的干扰。10、B[听力原文]Whydidthemantakeoverabicycleshop?[解析]通过选项判断会问男士做某事的原因。男士提到当他从银行得到贷款，他知道自己喜欢当自己的老板。因此选B。本题B复现了原文beinghisownboss，符合长对话“听到什么选什么”的原则。其他三项均为无中生有，注意C中的词组startfromscratch意为“从零开始”。11、A[听力原文]Whatdowelearnaboutthepeopleworkingintheshop?[解析]当女士问他是否雇人帮忙的时候，他回答说有几个和他一样喜欢自行车的朋友一个星期会来B的fivedaysaweek过于具体，原话帮几天忙，可知在店里帮忙的都是男士的朋友，故应选A。只说是afewdays;C中的paidbythehour无中生有;D的gambling过度推断，对话仅说他们有时会在一起打扑克，不能说明他们好赌。ConversationTwo12、A[听力原文]W:Well,themainactivitiesintheregionwerehistoricallysteelandpaperprocessing,Ithink.M:Yes,butI'mnotquitesureaboutthestatusofthoseindustriesnow.Couldyoutellussomethingaboutthat?W:Yes,ofcourse.Infact,theyarelesssignificant,butsteel-relatedmanufacturingstillaccountsfor44%ofindustrialactivity.Soit'sstillveryimportant.Infact,80%ofSpain'smachinetoolsarefromtheBasqueCountry.Asforpaperprocessing,there'sstillalittle.Butit'snolongerwhatitoncewasintheregion.So,isthatclear?M:Yes,thanks.W:Now,togetbacktowhatIwassaying,there'salotofunemploymentaswellasgeographicalproblemsintheregion.M:Sorry,Victoria.Whatdoyoumeanbygeographicalproblems?W:Well,whatImeanistheareaisveryhilly,mountainousinparts.Sothereusedtobetransportproblems.Nowthoughtherearenewtrainlinksandbetterroads,butitmaybethatsomesmallertownsinlandremainnotverywellconnected,isthatOK?Doesthatmakesense?Whenwetalkaboutspecificlocationsuggestionsforthefactory,we'llseethisinmoredetail,sowe'llcomebacktothisquestion,OK?M:OK,right.W:SoIwasabouttosaysomethingabouttheworkforceintheregionandtheleveloftrainingandeducation.Ingeneral,it'sverygoodandimproving.Whatwasoneofthemainindustrialactivitiesintheregion?[解析]选项均是“名词+动名词”的形式，均表示某一行业，听音时要注意相关信息。对话一开始女士就说该地区历史上主要的活动是钢铁生产和纸张加工，A属于其中之一，故选A。其他三项分别出现了听力原词transport，roads，train和manufacturing，但对话并没有提到食品运输、道路建设或火车制造，B、C和D均排除。13、B[听力原文]Whatdoesthewomansayaboutsteel-relatedmanufacturingintheregion?[解析]通过选项中的givewayto，remain，accountfor等推测问题关于某行业的发展变化。女士说实际上尽管钢铁生产和纸张加工没有以前重要了(1esssignificant)，但钢铁生产仍然占到整个工业的44%，仍很重要(stillimportant)，B中的amajorpart与此对应，故为答案。A“让位于服务业”中的serviceindustry并没有在对话中提及;C利用对话中的80%制造干扰，对话说的是西班牙有80%的机器工具来自BasqueCountry，与钢铁生产占GDP的比例无关;对话并非对钢铁生产和纸张加工的历史长短作比较，故排除D。but一词后往往是出题点，听音时要留意转折处。14、C[听力原文]Whatproblemshindertheregion'sdevelopment?[解析]从选项关键词lack，shortage，problem，poor推测是问某种负面问题。女士提到该地区有失业(unemployment)及地理问题(geographicalproblems)。之后解析地理问题实际上是指运输问题(transportproblems):尽管现在有了新的火车线路和和更好的公路，但一些内陆小镇还是交通不太便利。因此选C。A中的resources，B中的funding和D中的management在女士的谈话中没有提及。谈话提到transportproblems，符合“长对话听到什么选什么”的原则;而且but一词后的内容往往是考查点所在。15、D[听力原文]Whatwillthespeakersdiscusslater?[解析]本题需要在听到关键词的基础上进行一定的推断。在对话的最后，女士提到将要说一下这个地区的劳动力(workforce)以及培训和教育水平的问题，这和采取措施创造工作机会(createjobopportunities)有关，因此选D。女士在对话的最后谈到了workforce，故推断下文应该与工作或就业有关，只有D中的job与此相关。SectionCPassageOne16、B[听力原文]IfirstmetJoeGanswhenwewereboth9yearsold,whichisprobablytheonlyreasonheisoneofmybestfriends.IfIhadfirstmetJoeasafreshmaninhighschool,wewouldn'tevenhavehadthechancetogettoknoweachother.Joeisadaystudent,butIamaboardingstudent.Wehaven'tbeeninthesameclasses,sportsorextracurricularactivities.Nonetheless,Ispendnearlyeveryweekendathishouse,andwetalkonthephoneeverynight.Thisisnottosaythatwewouldnothavebeencompatibleifwehadfirstmetinourfreshmanyear.Rather,wewouldnothavebeenlikelytospendenoughtimegettingtoknoweachother,duetothelackofimmediatelyvisiblemutualinterests.Infact,tobehonest,Istruggleevennowtothinkofthingswehaveincommon,butmaybethat'swhatmakesusenjoyeachother'scompanysomuch.WhenIlookatmyfriendshipwithJoe,IwonderhowmanypeopleI'veknownWhomIneverdislikedbutsimplydidn'ttakethetimetogettoknow.ThankstoJoe,Ihaverealizedhowlittlebasisthereis,forthesocialdivisionsthatexistineverycommunity.Sincethisrealization,Ihavebeguntomakeanevenmoredeterminedefforttofindfriendsinunexpectedpeopleandplaces.WhatdoesthespeakersayJoeGansbecameoneofhisbestfriends?[解析]根据录音开头的both9yearsold，判断和childhood相关。录音开头提到，说话人与JoeGans在他们9岁时相遇，而这很可能就是JoeGans是他最要好的朋友之一的唯一原因。据此推断因为他们从小就相识了解，所以成为了好友，故应选B。说话人特别提到他和JoeGans从来没有参加过共同的课外活动，故A错误;而C中的“共同的朋友”也没有提及;短文中也提到他们之间缺乏共同的兴趣(lackofimmediatelyvisiblemutualinterests)，因此D也错误。17、B[听力原文]Wheredoesthespeakerspendmostofhisweekends?[解析]根据选项判断问题关于地点。说话人提到他几乎每个周末都在Joe家度过。因此应选B。说话人提到everyweekendathishouse，符合“短文听力听到什么选什么”的原则，同时转折词Nonetheless后往往是考查重点。18、Ag?,#3,??=,(,5,,27?\?,iS’S,8,,uj,5??$q,,sPth?z,D9",',,,?•,U^,?,,0b.,X,?,`,+,?,H,,,,,=,,,!,B,17,,7,??_,,%,,,,,,x4h,?,,,:,h^>,L-?,?|?,x?,#y:?,,,o,F,,,^a,W,?,?R,??,j,?I,,,?,,?cD,,1,,,Z,,e,,{_,0?,I;,KP,,,?,YR,0n??,,.?;,,,PassageTwo19、A[听力原文]ItwasabadnightforLouis.Hisresearchintheneighboringtownhadtakenlongerthanheexpected.Itwaslateandhewasverytiredwhenhedrovehome.Heturnedintohisbuilding'sparkinglot,butallthespaceswerefull.Hedrovebackoutontothestreetlookingforaparkingspace.Thefirstblockwasfull.Thenextblockwasalmostempty.Louisdidn'tseeano-parkingsign,buthesuspectedthatifparkingwereallowedthere,mostofthespaceswouldbefilled.Thenhesawasmallparkinglotwithtwofreespaces.Hewassogladtoseethemthathedidn'teventhinktoreadthesignbytheentrance.Hedrovein,parked,andhurriedhometogotobed.Thenextmorninghewentbacktothelottogethiscar.Itwasgone.Heranhomeandtelephonedthecitypolicetosaythathiscarhadbeenstolen.Ittookthepoliceonlyaminutetotellhimwhathadhappened.Hiscarhadbeenonaprivatelot.Ithadbeentakenawaybythepolice.Louishadtotakeataxitothecitygaragefarfromthecenteroftown.Hehadtopayafeeof$40togethiscarback.Inaddition,hegotaparkingticket—hisfirstoneeverinGreenville.WheredidLouisintendtoparkhiscarwhenhecamebackfromworkonenight?[解析]从选项推测问题是关于地点的。录音提到Louis一开始是开车拐入他所在大楼的停车场(hisbuilding'sparkinglot)，但是因为没有空位，才到街上找停车位，因此选A。注意本题问的是intendtoparkhiscar，即他原先想停车的地方。20、A[听力原文]WhatdidLouisthinkhadhappenedtohiscarthenextmorning?[解析]录音提到第二天早上他发现车没了，然后就跑回家给警察打电话说车被偷了。因此选A。解答本题的关键在于听清楚题目问的是Louis认为他的车怎么样了，而不是实际上怎么样了，由下文可知，D是实际发生的情况，他的车被警察拖走了。21、B[听力原文]WheredidLouisfinallygethiscarback?[解析]录音提到Louis不得不坐出租车到远离市中心的市停车场(citygarage)，因此选B。A中的neighboringtown与录音中提到的farfromthecenteroftown相悖;C只是利用录音最后出现的Greenville制造干扰;D中的publicparkinglot属于无中生有。PassageThree22、D[听力原文]Well,topickupwhereweleftofflasttime,Ibelieveweagreedthatcreativityisamysteriousidea.It'soneofthosethingsweallrecognizewhenweseeit.Butwedon'treallyunderstandwhatitis.Weseemtofeelthatsomepeoplearenaturallycreative,butwedon'tknowhowtheygotthatway.Iscreativityanaturalgiftlikegoodlooks?Orisitsomethingthatcanbeacquiredlikeknowledge?Perhapsifweanalyzethecreativeprocesscarefully,wemightgetsomeinsightintowhatitisandhowitmightworkinourlives.Thecreativeprocesshasalwaysbeenacceptedasthesourceofallimportantworkinthearts.But
