1、

标准答案：tombs

知识点解析：在听力原文中有这么一个问句“WhydidthePharaohsdoit?”（法老为什

么要建金字塔？）后面提到"thePharaohexpectedtoliveinhistombafterdeath”,虽然

这里没有明确地说明金字塔就是坟墓，但是也可以证实法老建造金字塔就是为了把

它做为死后生活的地方。

2、

标准答案：death

知识点解析：这个答案即使通过猜测也能得出正确答案，而且听力材料中也明确提

到“Thekingsthoughtthepyramidswouldhelpthemfindlifeafterdeath.”因此必然选择

deatho

3、

标准答案：across

知识点解析：原文中提到法老建造金字塔的原因与宗教有关，他们自称为太阳神的

儿子，因此希望死后能利用金字塔穿越天空到天国去，因此用across比较合适，而

且原文中的原话也提供了acrossthesky这个信息。

4、

标准答案：Nile

知识点解析：在原文中提到“Thepyramidswerebuiltonhighground,abovethe

highestpointthattheNilefloodwatereverreached!”（金字塔建在尼罗河洪水所能达到

的最高点的高地上），从中可以推断金字塔的确是建在尼罗河边的。

5、

标准答案：largest

知识点解析：听力材料中提到“ThebiggestofthemwastheGreatPyramid”；Ihe

pyramidofKhtffu,只要听到Khufu就能得出正确答案thebiggest0

6、

标准答案：stones

知识点解析：听力材料中提到"Itwasmadeofabout2,300,000blocksofstones,all

exactlythesameshape...”说明建造金字塔的材料是石头，这也是一般常识可以推断

出来的。

7、

标准答案：September

知识点解析：前面提过金字塔是建于尼罗河边的，则尼罗河每年都会有一次洪水泛

滥，给两岸带来肥沃的泥土，而文中也讲得很清楚“theNilefloodbeganin

September.咽此可以判断洪水于9月份泛滥。

8、

标准答案：pictures

知识点解析：听力材料原文中提到我们了解工人们是如何建造金字塔的是来自埃及

坟墓里的古画和古埃及人做记录的古老文字。

9、

标准答案：sledges

知识点解析：听力材料中提到古代埃及是在5000年前建造金字塔的，而那时候古

埃及人没有我们现在抬重物所用的机器，他们使用的是Levers,rollers和sledges。

10、

标准答案：Mexico

知识点解析：根据一般常识我们知道除了埃及金字塔外，在美洲也有金字塔，而且

文中说明在墨西哥也有类似的金字塔祭祀的，也给了我们一定的线索，关键是原文

中出现了Mexico这个国家。

二、听力对话组题(本题共5题，每题7.0分，共5

分。)

Accordingtothehostess,whatisthereasonforincreasedcompetitioninclothing

industry?

11、Accordingtothehostess,whatisthereasonforincreasedcompetitioninclothing

industry?

A、Theincreasedcostofrawmaterials.

B、Theboomingmarketforfastfashion.

C>Consumers*needsforluxuryfashion.

D、Theincreasedcostofhumanresources.

标准答案：B

知识点解析•：细节题。访谈节目中主持人的开场白提到消费者对快速变换的时尚的

热衷导致低收入国家的服装业产量激增并使该产业竞争白热化：Fulfillingourneeds

forfastfashionmeansincreasedproductionandcompetitioninclothingmadein

countrieswithlow-wageeconomies.可见只有选项B符合题意，因此答案为B。

12、AccordingtoJames,theEthicalConsumerResearchAssociationaimsto.

A、provideinformationthatmightrevealthecompanyethics

B、studytheethicalaspectofconsumerswhileshopping

C>doresearchonethicalconsumers'behaviorandvalues

D、giveconsumersusefulinformationonqualityofproducts

标准答案：A

知识点解析：细节题。访谈节目中的嘉宾James来自伦理消费者研究协会(the

EthicalConsumerResearchAssociation),该协会的宗旨是提供给消费者厂家在产品

品牌幕后的所作所为，瑛言之，就是提供给消费者有关制造商的生产销售是否符合

伦理规范的情报：OK,welltheEthicalConsumerResearchAssociationexiststo

provideinformationforshoppers,lettingthemknowwhatthecompaniesarcdoing

behindthebrandsthattheyseeontheshelves.所以答案为A。

13、AccordingtoJames,whichofthefollowingdoesNOTmakeanethicalshopper?

A^He/sheisconcernedaboutthehumanlaborinvolvedintheproduct.

B>He/shewonderswhetherthecompanyininvolvedinarmaments.

C、He/shewonderswhetherthecompanymanagestomakeendsmeet.

D^Hc/shewantstoknowwhichpartythecompanyfinanciallysupports.

标准答案：C

知识点解析：辨别题。讲座中提到伦理消费者有以下特征：Ve^broadlyspeaking,

peoplewhoareconcernedaboutethicalissueswanttoknowthattheproductthey're

buyinghasn'tbeenmadeattheexpenseofthepeoplewhoareproducingit,whetherit's

inthiscountryorabroad.Theymightalsobeconcernedwithotherkindsofissues:

whetherthecompanyisinvolvedinarmaments,orwhetherthey'redonatingmoneyto

certainpoliticalparties.可见伦理消费者关注产品生产是否以牺牲人力为代价，池们

也关注公司是否与军备生产有关以及公司支持的政党是否与自己支持的一致等，这

里只有选项C不属于伦理消费者关注的对象，因此答案为C。

14、AccordingtoJames,howcanonebecomeanethicalshopper?

A、Oneshouldbewealthyenough.

B>Oneshouldbuycheapthings.

C、Oneshouldbuyeverythingsecond-hand.

D、Oneshouldbuyless.

标准答案：D

知识点解析：细节题。讲座中James给大家的建议就是要成为一个有道德的消费者

并不一定需要多么富有，关键是要做到理性购物，少购物或者可以适当购买合适的

I日物：Youdon'thavetoberichtobeanethicalshopper.Onewayofthinkingabout

ethicalshoppingisthinkingaboutbuyingless...Sobeinganethicalshopperreallymeans

thinkingabitbeforeyougoandspendyourmoneyintheshops.Somethingsmaycosta

littlebitmoreintheshort-run,butbeworthitinthelong-run.Andsometimesyoucan

buythingssecond-hand.这里的主要干扰项是C,但选项中的everything一词过于极

端，因此剔除此选项，所以答案为D。

15、AccordingtoJames,whatishisattitudetowardthefuturedevelopmentofethical

shopping?

A、Positive.

B、Negative.

C^Neutral.

D、Ambiguous.

标准答案:A

知识点解析：态度推断题。讲座最后主持人问及James对伦理购物这一理念未来发

展的展望，James的态度包含在他的言辞中：Anyhow,Iamsureethicalshopping

willbepopularwithconsumersandoneday,itmishtappearasappealingasthelatest

fashion.由此可见他对伦理购物这一理念在消费者当中的发展还是持乐观态度的，

他认为未来会有更多消费者接受这一理念，这种消费方式也会在未来对消费者更具

吸引力，因此答案为A。

三、听力新闻（本题共2题，每题1.0分，共2分。）

16>Whichwordcanbeusedtodescribethestateofgovernmentaftertheevent?

A、Functional.

案为［A］。

17、Philippines'PresidentGloriaArroyo

A、hasbeenfoundguiltyofwrongdoing.

B>wasforcedtostepdownafter10of24cabinetmembersresignedfromthe

government.

C^willcontinuetorunthegovernmentaccordingtotheconstitution.

何罪过，GloriaArroyo将根据宪法继续施政，故答案为［C］。

A、TheyfailedtosendPresidentBushintoearlyretirement.

B、ThevotesforJohnKerryandGeorgeBushweresoclose.

C、TheyhavetofacethenextfouryearswithBushasPresident.

D、JohnKerrywasdefeate

标准答案：B

知识点解析：本题答案为第二段的第一句。民主党人之所以如此失望是因为两党的

投票数是那么接近。故选项B为正确答案。

19、Accordingtothepassage,theDemocratsshoulddothefollowingexcept.

A^Theyshouldmovetoanothercountry.

Theyshouldstopaccusingeachotherofthedefeat.

C、TheyshouldworkharderforaDemocraticvictorynexttime.

D、TheyshouldreconcilewiththeirRepublicanfriendsandcolleagues.

标准答案：A

知识点解析：本题考察对全文的理解。选项B出现在最后一段，C出现在第五段

中，而D则出现在第六段中，故排除；选项A显然不是民主党人应该做的事情。

20、"Ire"inthetitthparagraphisclosestinmeaningto.

A、idea

B、anger

C^feeling

D、determination

标准答案：B

知识点解析：原文是这样的：“Iknowplentyoffolkswhoplantonursetheiranti-Bush

ire,usingitasamotivatingtooltoworkevenharderforaDemocraticvictorynexttime.

Suchchronicragemaysoundunhealthy——butitdidthetrickforNewtGingrich'stroops

inthewakeofBillClinton's1992win.”画线部分的such一词起着衔接作用,与ire

衔接，由此可见，ire的意思是rage,与选项B意思一致，故B为正确答案。

21、WhichofthefollowingisNOTthereasonforKerry'sdefeat?

A、Hispersonality.

B、HisVietnammedals.

C、Hisprinciplesofaction.

D、HisrelationshipwithMiddleAmeric

标准答案：C

知识点解析：文章第八段表明，科里失利不是因为政策问题，而是因为他的性格，

除此以外，导致他失败的还有与中美洲的关系。虽然他的越南勋章很漂亮，但是却

并未让他受益。因此选项C符合题意，为正确答案。

22Themainpurposeofthepassageisto.

A、criticizeJohnKerryforhispersonality

B、explainwhyJohnKerrywasdefeated

标准答案：他们谁也不知道天空的颜色。儿双眼睛平望出去，紧紧盯着朝他们汹

涌扑来的波涛。波涛是暗蓝色的，只有浪脊上喷溅着白色的泡沫。他们几个人全都

知道这海的颜色。地平线窄了又宽，落了又起，边缘上总是参差不齐，波浪看上去

像峨岩一般尖削地向上搏击。漂浮在海上的这条小船，许多人家的浴盆都该比它

大。那阵阵波涛无法无天、飞扬跋扈地翻得又高又陡，每个浪头都给小船的航行带

来危险。厨子蹲在船底，双眼瞅着那六英寸厚的船舷，他与这江洋大海就这一舷

之隔啊。他的袖子卷到肥胖的前臂上，当他俯身从船里往外舀水时，身上马甲因为

没有系上扣，两片襟子荡来荡去。

1、

标准答案：host

知识点解析：本题为细节题。此处主要对bilingualeducalion进行解释：Bilingual

educationisaneducationalprogramthatprovidesinstructioninboththestudents*native

languageandthelanguageofthehostcountry.其中hostcountry指的是"东道国"，或

者“移民者所到的国家”，故填入host。

2、

标准答案：Transitional

知识点解析：本题为要点题。此处讲到第一种双语教育模式：过渡教育。Oneof

themostcommonmodelsofbilingualeducationintheUnitedStatesiscalledtransitional

bilingualeducation.因此填入Transitional

3、

标准答案：nativelanguage/motherlanguage/nativetongue/mothertongue

知识点解析：本题为概括题。此处讲到第二种教育模式：维护教育。Studentscan

continuetakingcontcnt-arcaclassesintheirnativelanguageforaslongastheyneedtoor

wantto.学生可以尽可能长时间地使用母语学习课程，自己的母语应该得到维护和

发展。因此填入含义为“母语”的词汇即可。

4、

标准答案：higher

知识点解析：本题为推断题。此处讲到维护式双语教育的缺陷：Oneofthe

problemswithmaintenanceprogramsisthattheyarcmoreexpensivethantransitional

programs.它要比过渡教管费用更高一些。由此填入higher。

5、

标准答案：bilingual

知识点解析：本题为细节题。讲座中提到Thepurposeoftwo-waybilingualeducation

programsistomakeallstudentsbilingual.双向式双语教育模式的目的是要使所有的

学生掌握双语技能。因此填入bilingual。

6、

标准答案：struggle
