Part Ⅱ Reading Comprehension (Skimming and Scanning)
    本文首先介紹了導(dǎo)盲犬如何幫助失明或視力很弱的人外出活動,接著講了導(dǎo)盲犬在工作中和工作后的不同表現(xiàn),然后著重敘述了選拔導(dǎo)盲犬及其訓(xùn)練過程,最后交代了導(dǎo)盲犬學(xué)校要根據(jù)人與導(dǎo)盲犬各自的個性將他們進(jìn)行搭配,直到導(dǎo)盲犬和盲人完全了解對方的動作時,導(dǎo)盲犬才可以從學(xué)校畢業(yè)。
    1. B)
    【定位】由題干關(guān)鍵詞a guide dog可將答案定位至第一個標(biāo)題下第一段第三句:To do this, a guide dog must know how to keep on a direct route, ignoring distractions such as smells, other animals and people.
    【解析】原文指出,一條導(dǎo)盲犬在導(dǎo)盲時必須知道如何做到保持一條直達(dá)的路線,不被別的氣味、動物或者人吸引。文中的keep on a direct route與選項B)中的walk straight 屬于同義轉(zhuǎn)述,且都指的是導(dǎo)盲犬的行為,故答案為B)。
    2. D)
    【定位】由題干關(guān)鍵詞any command可將答案定位至第一個標(biāo)題下第二段第一句:Additionally, a guide dog must know to disobey any command that would put the handler in danger.
    【解析】本句指出,對于那些會給主人帶來危險的命令,導(dǎo)盲犬必須學(xué)會不服從。題干中的any command指任何命令,顯然過于絕對化了,與本句相矛盾,故D)為正確答案。
    3. C)
    【定位】由各選項中的關(guān)鍵詞可將答案定位至第一個標(biāo)題下第三段。
    【解析】該段并沒有提及notify the handler的相關(guān)信息。所以答案是C)。
    4. B)
    【定位】由題干關(guān)鍵詞guide dogs will enjoy可將答案定位至第二個標(biāo)題下第一段第一句:Guide dogs enjoy their work immensely, and they get a lot of satisfaction from a job well done, but there is no room for typical dog fun during the work day.
    【解析】原文表明,導(dǎo)盲犬非常熱愛它們的工作,會從做好工作中得到很強(qiáng)的滿足感,因此它們真正enjoy的是工作本身,即答案B),而選項D)的satisfaction是由做好本職工作而產(chǎn)生的感覺,并不是它們enjoy的直接對象。
    5. C)
    【定位】由題干關(guān)鍵詞guide dog work, the best thing可將答案定位至第二個標(biāo)題下第二段第三句:People are very impressed with guide dogs and so we have a natural inclination to praise them, but the best thing you can do to help a guide dog is to leave it alone...
    【解析】本句表明對待導(dǎo)盲犬的方式就是不要在它工作的時候打擾它,這樣它便可以把全部的注意力放在觀察周圍環(huán)境和主人身上,故正確答案為C)。
    6. B)
    【定位】由題干關(guān)鍵詞play和work可將答案定位至第二個標(biāo)題下最后一段第二句:Guide dogs make the distinction between work and play based on their lead harness.
    【解析】原文表明導(dǎo)盲犬是靠它們的挽具來區(qū)分工作還是休息的。本題題干中的tells與原文中的make the distinction是同義轉(zhuǎn)述,表示區(qū)分,題干中的by對應(yīng)原文中的based on,故根據(jù)原文,得出答案為B)。
    7. D)
    【定位】由題干關(guān)鍵詞evaluated at the guide dog school可將答案定位至第三個標(biāo)題下第二段第一句:In some schools, if a dog is suited for training but not quite ready, it may go back...
    【解析】原文表明,在一些學(xué)校,如果一條狗很適合接受導(dǎo)盲訓(xùn)練但沒有準(zhǔn)備好,它可能會被送回到幼犬飼養(yǎng)人那里再長幾個月或者直到成年,由此得出,學(xué)校要看小狗各方面適不適合接受訓(xùn)練以來決定是否留下它并將其訓(xùn)練成導(dǎo)盲犬,故D)為正確答案。
    8. food
    【定位】由題干關(guān)鍵詞Different from ordinary obedience training,可將答案定位至第三個標(biāo)題下末段首句:Unlike ordinary obedience training, guide dog training does not use food as a reward for good performance.
    【解析】此處需要填入名詞來做介詞instead of的賓語,表示不用...來作為獎勵。原文中指出,訓(xùn)練導(dǎo)盲犬不能以食物來作為其良好表現(xiàn)的獎勵,后面又指明了原因,因為導(dǎo)盲犬必須能夠在周圍都是食物的地方工作而不會因為食物分心,因此填入答案為food。
    9. the new masters
    【定位】由題干關(guān)鍵詞At the end of training可將答案定位至第四個標(biāo)題下首段首句:The final stage of a guide dogs training is learning to work with its new master.
    【解析】此處應(yīng)填入名詞性成分,作介詞with的賓語,原文指出,作為導(dǎo)盲犬訓(xùn)練的最后階段就是學(xué)習(xí)與主人一起配合好,一起合作。由于題干中從句的主語為復(fù)數(shù)the dogs,因此此處應(yīng)填入the new masters。
    10. each other's every movement
    【定位】由題干關(guān)鍵詞handler and the guide dog,learning可將答案定位至全文最后一句:By the time they graduate from the guide dog school, they can read each other's every movement.
    【解析】此處應(yīng)填入名詞性成分,作動詞read的賓語。原文中指出,當(dāng)他們可以互相了解對方的每一個動作時,就可以從導(dǎo)盲學(xué)校里畢業(yè)了,因此此處填入each other's every movement。
    Part Ⅲ Listening Comprehension
    Section A
    11. M: Why don't you come to our home for dinner some time this week? I have practiced to improve my cooking.
    W: I'd like to, but we have visitors from Finland, perhaps next week.
    Q: Why can't the woman accept the man's invitation?
    【解析】B)。四個選項都是關(guān)于女士,由此暗示對話當(dāng)中應(yīng)該更加重視與女士有關(guān)的部分。男士邀請女士去他家吃晚飯(come to our home for dinner),女士說這個星期有芬蘭來的客人(visitors from Finland)要招待,可能要下個星期去。因為女士這個星期有客人,所以女士不能接受男士的邀請。故正確答案為B)。
    12. M: I hope I won't oversleep. I've simply got to catch the first flight to New York.
    W: If I were you, I'd request the wake-up call from the hotel reception.
    Q: What does the woman advise the man do?
    【解析】D)。四個選項都是不定式,由此可以推斷,本題的內(nèi)容可能是目的或者動作。 女士說,如果我是你(If I were you),就會要旅店提供叫醒電話(wake-up call)。由此可見,女士建議男士ask for a wake-up call,正確答案為D)。
    13. M: I really had a busy week. I want to get some rest. I always enjoy a nap on Saturday afternoon.
    W: I don't think you can. Mr. Smith has just parked his car at the door, and he is coming up now.
    Q: What can we learn from this conversation?
    【解析】B)。四個選項都更側(cè)重男士方面,由此暗示對話當(dāng)中應(yīng)該更加注意與男士相關(guān)的部分。 男士一般都在星期六下午睡個午覺(enjoy a long siesta on Saturday afternoon),但女士說Mr. Smith已經(jīng)在門口停車,馬上就來了(parked his car at the door,he is coming up)。由此可以推斷,男士今天不能睡午覺了(won't be able to enjoy a nap)。故正確答案為B)。
    14. W: How is George doing? Is he doing all right?
    M: He is doing fine now. He planned to change his job for a while but finally decided to keep the present one.
    Q: What can we learn about George in this conversation?
    【解析】B)。四個選項都是有關(guān)George和工作的關(guān)系,對工作的看法和態(tài)度,由此可以推測,本題的內(nèi)容是關(guān)于George和工作的。 George的工作現(xiàn)在做得不錯(doing fine)。雖然他想過換工作(planned to change his job),但是他決定保留現(xiàn)有的工作(keep the present one)。故正確答案為B)。
    15. W: Good morning. This is Dr.Allen's office.
    M: Good morning. I'd like to make an appointment with Dr.Allen to have my teeth cleaned and checked. I'd like to have it done this week if possible.
    Q: Who is the woman?
    【解析】C)。四個選項都是表示身份的詞,由此可以推測,本題的內(nèi)容是關(guān)于某人的身份。男士要和牙醫(yī)預(yù)約洗牙和檢查(have my teeth cleaned and checked)。由此可見,女士應(yīng)該是牙醫(yī)診所的接待員(receptionist)。故C)為正確答案。
    16. M: Professor Kennedy has been very busy this semester. As far as I know he works till midnight every day.
    W: I wouldn't have troubled him so much if I had known he was so busy.
    Q: What do we learn from the conversation?
    【解析】D)。四個選項都是有關(guān)女士和教授之間的關(guān)系,由此可以推測,本問題的內(nèi)容是關(guān)于女士和教授的學(xué)習(xí)和工作的。 男士說教授這個學(xué)期很忙(very busy this semester),每天工作到深夜(works till midnight every day)。女士回答說如果早知道是這么忙就不會那樣麻煩他了(wouldn't have troubled him)。由此可以推測女士很后悔占用了教授很長時間(regrets having taken up much of the professor's time)。故D)為正確答案。
    17. W: May I make a recommendation, sir? The clams with our special sauce are good. They're fresh from the ocean.
    M: Thank you, but I don't care for clams.
    Q: Where did this conversation probably take place?
    【解析】A)。四個選項都是表示地點場景的短語,由此可以推斷,本題是考查關(guān)于某件事情發(fā)生的地點。 女士推薦說配特制醬汁的蛤蜊(The clams with our special sauce)很不錯,蛤蜊是剛從海里捕上來的(fresh from the ocean)。由此可見本對話發(fā)生在餐館(restaurant),故正確答案為A)。
    18. W: I suppose we should look for a bigger house, but I don't see how we can afford it right now.
    M: If only we hadn't spent so much money on our car this year.
    Q: What can we learn from the conversation about the speakers?
    【解析】D)。四個選項都是They可能會做出的選擇,由此可以推斷,本題是考查關(guān)于某些人即將做出的決定。女士覺得應(yīng)該找一間大一點的房子(look for a bigger house),但目前又承擔(dān)(afford)不起。男士指出了負(fù)擔(dān)不起的原因,今年花了錢在買汽車上(spent so much money on our car)。由此可見,他們無法換一間大點的房子,因為錢不夠(don't have enough money)。故正確答案為D)。
