【Section A答案、詳解及聽力原文】
Part ⅢListening Comprehension
Section A
11. M: Gordon needs to find another place to live. The apartment he rents now has been sold to a new owner.
W: He'd better start looking right away. When all the students come back in a few weeks, he won't find any near the campus.
Q: What does the woman suggest Gordon do?
A)。從選項可以猜測本題是對行為的考查,考查某人應(yīng)該做某事,因此聽錄音時要側(cè)重建議性的句型信息。男士說Gordon needs to find another place to live,可知此人想找房子,接著女士說He'd better start looking right away。had better do sth.是建議句型的提示信息,后面的內(nèi)容即是答案所在。
12. W: Judy earned a lot of money over the summer as an advisor for that agency.
M: I don't doubt it. What surprises me is that she is still working there, now that classes have started again.
Q: What does the man say about Judy?
B)。由選項預(yù)測本題考查男士的觀點,聽錄音時應(yīng)著重理解男士的話。從女士話中的earn money,over the summer可知對話涉及學(xué)校兼職工作,男士的回答中出現(xiàn)了What surprises me is that...,這是明顯的提示信息,其后即是答案所在。
13. M: There is an article here in this magazine that might interest you. It's about buying running shoes.
W: If it's not chemistry and it's not on the final exam, I can read it now.
Q: What is the woman probably doing now?
B)。由選項預(yù)測本題考查正在發(fā)生的動作。對話中男士在向女士推薦一篇文章,解題關(guān)鍵在于理解女士答話中的if條件句,"如果不是因為化學(xué)和期末考試,我現(xiàn)在就能讀了"。那么真實情況也就是"我在準(zhǔn)備考試,沒時間讀文章"。
14. W: Please turn down the television. I can't hear anything my friend is saying on the phone.
M: Hurry up and finish your call. I don't like standing so close. The light hurts my eyes.
Q: Why is the woman upset?
C)。由選項預(yù)測本題是對原因提問,并且是針對女士,聽錄音時應(yīng)著重體會因果關(guān)系。對話中女士要求關(guān)閉電視,并直接說明了理由,can't hear anything on the phone,與C)相符。至于男士的要求及其理由是本題的干擾項,注意辨別。
15. W: I was quite surprised when I heard William play the violin. From the way he talked I thought he was just starting his lessons.
M: Oh, that's the way he always talks.
Q: What do we learn about William from this conversation?
C)。由選項預(yù)測本題是對William的行為進(jìn)行判斷。聽力考試中考生不僅要辨別細(xì)節(jié)和事實,還要具備根據(jù)內(nèi)涵、語氣等進(jìn)行推斷的能力。本題女士話中的surprised暗示W(wǎng)illiam的violin表現(xiàn)出人意料,但從From the way...his lessons可推出他說話謙虛,讓女士原以為他剛開始學(xué)習(xí)violin。
16. W: It's really a big problem to teach our children how to behave. When I get angry, I say things I don't mean.
M: If you want your kids to be polite, you'll have to be polite to them.
Q: What conclusion can be drawn from this conversation?
A)。由選項預(yù)測本題是對孩子的行為進(jìn)行判斷。從女士話中的children,teach,behave可知對話是在討論孩子教育問題。本題關(guān)鍵在于理解男士的回答,"如果你希望孩子們有禮貌,你就必須對他們有禮貌",強調(diào)父母的榜樣力量,由此可歸納出Children learn by example的結(jié)論。
17. M: Good morning, I'd like to speak to Mr. Jones, please. This is Tim Kunts at the Oak Street computer center.
W: Mr. Kunts, my husband isn't at home. I can give you his business phone if you'd like to call him at work, though.
Q: Where is Mr. Kunts now?
C)。由選項預(yù)測本題是對地點提問,聽錄音時應(yīng)著重聽表示地點的詞。從男士話中I'd like to speak to...可知他在打電話找Mr. Jones,而接電話的是女士,從她答話中的not at home,business phone以及call him at work可以推斷出答案是at company。
18. W: I have eaten in so many restaurants during the past week that the thought of eating out again makes me sick.
M: I feel the same way, but there is no way to get out of this dinner appointment.
Q: What does the man mean?
D)。由選項預(yù)測本題考查男士在restaurant或eat out上的觀點或行為。從女士話中的so many restaurants以及make me sick可知女士反感eat out,男士則回應(yīng)feel the same way表明他同意女士的觀點。故答案為D)。A)為干擾項,男士答話中的no way...appointment 表示他們無法拒絕。
Now you'll hear two long conversations.
Conversation One
M: ...And where do you recommend I shall stay?(19) What's the Holiday Inn like?
W: It's nice there. It's in the city centre and has all the usual business facilities you'll need. The service is first class.
M: Oh, good. So I'll get a room there. Now, what's the best way to get into the hotel from the airport? Should I take a taxi?
W: Well, (20)you can, but you don't have to. The subway system is very convenient.
M: Mmm..., Can you tell me something about the business hours? I mean, what time are the banks open?
W: The banks? They open at half past eight and close at four thirty.
M: I see. And are they open on Saturday too?
W: I'm afraid not. And I'd better warn you, the shops close early on Saturday. During the week they're open until half past six, but on Saturdays they close at four.
M: At four! Right. Now, what's the weather like at this time of year?
W: Well, it's (21)usually warm. But sometimes it turns very cold and wet. So don't forget to take what you may need with you. By the way, when are you going on this trip?
M: Oh, (22)not until the middle of the month. The fifteenth, I think. Anything else you want to advise me?
W: No, nothing I can see. It's a nice country, peaceful and calm, and people are friendly. I'm sure you'll enjoy your stay there.
19. What are the two speakers talking about?
A)。由選項預(yù)測本題是主旨題。對話談到了住處Holiday Inn(假日酒店),交通工具taxi和subway,bank和shop的營業(yè)時間以及weather,可見是在安排旅行。
20. Why is it not necessary for the man to take a taxi to the hotel?
C)。由選項可知本題是對原因提問,男士的問句Should I take a taxi?是本題的提示信號,下面女士的回答:you can, but you don't have to否定了對方的想法,并直接說明了原因The subway system is very convenient,故答案為C)。
21. What's the weather like at this season?
A)。由選項可知本題是對天氣提問。What's the weather like?是本題的提示信息,下面聽到的usually warm,but sometimes it turns very cold and wet 即為本題答案。
22. When will the man go on the trip?
C)。由選項預(yù)測本題是對時間提問,聽錄音時要注意表示時間的詞。本題也有提示問句:When are you going on this trip? 其后的回答:not until the middle of the month. The fifteenth, I think.鎖定了答案為C)。
Conversation Two
W: Bill, is that really you? I haven't seen you for months.
M: Hello, Christina. Yes, it has been a long time. Good to see you. How have you been?
W: I've been okay. I've just been so busy with school. We really should get together and catch up. How about joining me for dinner tonight?
M: (23) I'd love to, but I'm taking off for Miami at 8:00 tonight if everything goes well. I'm going home because my brother is getting married on Saturday morning.
W: That's great. Congratulations! I hope that you have a nice time at home. You'll just have to take a rain check on that dinner invitation.
M: Well, what are you doing now? Maybe we can go to the coffee shop and chat for a while. There is an attractive, little place I know of down the street.
W: (24) I really wish I could, but I'm on my way to the tennis courts.
M: Tennis courts? I didn't know you could play tennis.
W: It sounds like that, but actually I can't. (24) I'm taking lessons so I can learn. My roommate is on the tennis team and she's gotten me interested in the sport. Do you know how to play?
M: A little, but I haven't played for years. I really like the game, though. (25) When I come back from my trip, I think I'll join you in taking lessons.
W: It's a deal. Just give me a call when you get back.
M: You got it.
23. What will the man do tonight?
A)。由選項可知本題是對男士將要發(fā)生的動作進(jìn)行判斷。寒暄后,女士提出dinner tonight,男士回答I'd love to,but...委婉拒絕了邀請。But提示后面為原因,I'm taking off for Miami,后又補充說是going home,故答案為A)。其后的rain check是"延期"的意思。
24. Why can't the woman join the man for coffee?
C)。由選項預(yù)測本題是對原因提問。由上題可知男士無法與女士共進(jìn)晚餐,因而提出了go to the coffee shop and chat for a while的建議,女士回答:I really wish I could, but...同樣委婉拒絕了邀請,并提示后面的原因,即I'm on my way to the tennis courts. I'm taking lessons.與C) 相符。
25. Which of the following did the man agree to do?
D)。由選項可知本題同樣是對男士的行為進(jìn)行判斷。抓住關(guān)鍵句I'll join you in taking lessons.即可推斷出答案為D)。
