Section A
11.
M: I can't believe the low mark I got on my last essay —it couldn't have been that bad.
W: Last week was so busy for you. I'm surprised you were even able to get it done on time.
Q: What does the woman imply?您看到來自www.233.com的新聞
答案A
解析：根據選項，考生可推斷聽力對話是關于男士的作文問題。男士說，不敢相信作文分數那么低;女士回應：上周你太忙了，我很驚訝你能準時做完。女士暗示，上周男士花在作文上的時間太少了。
12.
W: I have a complaint to make, sir. I waited 10 minutes at the table before the waiter showed up. When I finally got served, I found it was not what I ordered.
M: I'm terribly sorry, madam. It is a bit unusually busy tonight. As a compensation, your meal will be free.
Q: Where does the conversation probably take place?
答案C
解析：根據選項，考生可判斷問題是關于地點的，所以在聽力過程中，考生要特別關注對話中暗示地點的詞組。女士提及到“the waiter，got served，what I ordered”，男士提到“your meal will be free”，從中可以判斷對話發生在飯店。
13.
M: Does it bother you if I have the ball game on? I can use headphones if you like.
W: Actually a little peace and quiet would be nice. At least until I finish this chapter.
Q: What does the woman imply?
答案B
解析：根據選項，考生要特別注意對話中男士和女士的做法。男士說：我聽球賽會不會影響你?如果你愿意，我可以戴耳機。女士沒有直接回答男士的問題，而是說：安靜當然好了，至少我要讀完這一章。從中可以判斷噪音是會影響女士讀書的，而選項C是干擾項，是男士戴上耳機。
14.
M: I'm exhausted! I was up till 3 a. m. watching Romeo and Juliet. It was great!
W: Oh, I missed it! You should've called me. I'll take those old classics over modern movies any time.
Q: What does the woman mean?
答案D
解析：選項是關于女士對新、老電影的看法。男士說：昨晚看《羅密歐和茱麗葉》看到凌晨三點!女士感嘆自己錯過了這部電影，然后用should have called的形式表示虛擬，暗示男士應該叫醒自己的，隨后女士用了動詞短語take A over B，表示“比起B，更喜歡A”，從中可以看出女士的態度，她更偏愛老電影。
15.
M: Excuse me, can you tell me how to get to the library?
W: Well, do you know where Olympic Street is?
Q: What does the woman's question indicate?www.233.com考試就上考試大
答案C
解析：選項是關于問路的。男士問：去圖書館怎么走啊?女士并沒有直接回答男士的問題，而是問：你知道Olympic Street在哪里嗎?女士暗示，如果男士知道Olympic Street，她就可以給男士指路，從而表明女士知道去圖書館的路。
16.
M: Are you sure you can't recall the name of the book?
W: It's just on the tip of my tongue!
Q: What does the woman say about the book?
答案B
解析：根據選項，考生要注意聽力對話中的書名。男士問：你確定記不起書名了嗎?女士說：就在嘴邊!這里on the tip of one's tongue，表示“就在嘴邊，暫時想不起來”，選項B中的temporarily意為“暫時地”。
17.
M: Henry is certainly the funniest person in class; he can always make everyone laugh.
W: I think I still have to get used to his sense of humor.
Q: What does the woman mean?
答案D
解析：選項是女士對Henry幽默的看法。男士說：Henry絕對是班里最幽默的;女士沒有直接回應，而說：我想，我需要習慣他的幽默感。從中，可以判斷女士并不喜歡Henry的幽默。
18.
W: Well, I have my first job interview on Monday. Have you had any luck with those letters of application you sent out?
M: It's still too soon to tell. Most of the application deadlines haven't even passed yet.
Q: What can be inferred about the man?
答案A
解析：選項是關于男士的工作、面試問題。考生在聽力中要特別關注面試的結果等細節。女士說：周一我要去面試。你寄出去的求職信有結果嗎?男士回答說：還很早，不知道結果;求職信的最后期限還沒有到。從中可以推斷，男士目前沒有收到面試通知，正在等待可能的回復。
Conversation One
W: 【19】I'll go over to the recycling center this after noon. Would you like me to take your old newspaper and paper bags along?
M: I do have a lot of papers and magazines down in the basement. Volunteers used to come by these apartments regularly to collect waste paper. I still save it. But people seldom ask for nowadays and I've never gone over to the recycling center myself.
W: That's typical. A few years ago, people were really enthusiastic about reusing waste paper. Unfortunately, interests have been decreasing lately. Manufacturers now use wastepaper for things like they need to find new commercial uses for recycled paper.
M: 【20】I suppose things like reading cards, calendars and writing paper could be made from it too. But recycled paper usually has a dingy color, doesn't it?來源：考試大考試大成就你的夢想
W: Well, it wouldn't be suitable for art books or high-quality magazine paper. But who cares about the drab color 【21】if the waste paper can take the place of the virgin woods, pulp and so help to preserve forests.
M: You are right. 【22】I'll bring my waste paper over to your apartment a little while. Thanks for offering to take it.
Questions 19 to 22 are based on the conversation you've just heard.
19. Where is the woman going this afternoon?
20. According to the speakers, what products are now made from recycled paper?
21. What major benefit does the woman see to using waste paper?
22. What is the possible relationship between the two speakers?
19. 答案B
解析：聽力一開始，女士就提到了下午要去“the recycling center”，即“廢物回收中心”。考生要特別注意cycle意為“騎自行車，(使)輪轉，(使)循環”，而recycle意為“回收利用”。
20. 答案A
解析：聽力接下來討論廢紙如何重新利用。女士說，現在廢紙有很多商業用途。男士接著說，廢紙可以用來制作卡片，日歷和信紙。從中考生可判斷A為正確選項。
21. 答案D
解析：從選項中，考生可以推測問題是關于回收利用廢紙的好處。聽力對話后半部分中女士說：如果廢紙可以幫助保護森林，誰會在乎顏色?從中可以判斷，女士認為回收廢紙的最大好處是，可以保護樹木。
22. 答案D
解析：由選項可推測問題是關于兩者之間的關系。聽力最后，男士說：隨后我把廢紙送到你公寓去。從中可以推斷，這是兩家人，并不是夫妻或母子關系。聽力中一直提到“apartment(公寓)”，兩者之間是師生關系的可能性很小，最有可能就是住的比較近的朋友關系。
Conversation Two
W: Let's go in here and order some coffee while we look at your pictures.
M: Good idea. We'd both like coffee, please. OK, here's one of Ed's, 【23】my roommate. I took this picture right after we had arrived at the school this fall. We had just met, in fact. And this was our room of the dormitory while we were unpacking all our things. What a mess !
W: You certainly had a lot of boxes. How did you ever find room for everything?
M: In the beginning, we thought we'd never get all arranged but now we are very comfortable. Lucky for me, Ed keeps his things neat.
W: Do you like living in the dormitory?
M: It's not bad. 【24】Sometimes Ed turns his radio up too loud and makes too much noise. Then I get angry. Sometimes I leave my books lying around and he gets angry. But usually we get along. 【25】Here's a picture of him taken when we went to visit my family during vacation.
W: And this last one?
M: That's my dog Spot.您看到來自www.233.com的新聞
Questions 23 to 25 are based on the first conversation you've just heard.
23. Who is Ed?
24. Why does the man sometimes get angry at Ed?
25.What did Ed do during vacation?
19. 答案B
解析：根據選項，考生可以推斷考題是關于某人的身份。聽力一開始，兩個人在咖啡館點了咖啡，男士就介紹了Ed，是他的室友。
20. 答案A
解析：選項討論了某位男士的特點，選項中he有可能指說話人，也有可能指Ed，考生要分清楚。女士問：喜歡住在宿舍嗎?男士回答：還不錯，有時候Ed把收音機開的很大，噪音很大，他會生氣;有時候他把書亂扔，Ed會生氣。而問題是：為什么男士會對Ed生氣?很明顯，男士生氣，是因為Ed制造噪音。
21. 答案D
解析：選項討論了某位男士的行為，考生要注意He的指代。聽力最后提及，假期時Ed拜訪了說話人一家。答案D是正確選項。
Section B
Passage One
【26】A credit card permits its holders to buy goods or obtain services without immediate payment. Possession of a card identifies the owner, who can obtain consumer credit. 【27】Each card has an account number which is recorded by the seller, who sends it to a central billing office. 【28】The office calculates the total price of purchases by the card holder during the month and sends him a bill. The buyer sends his check to the central office, which allocates the money to establishments extending credit.
Credit cards were used in some American stores during the 1920s, but they did not gain wide acceptance. In 1938 rival American oil companies issued them to consumers and established a national pool to honor each company's card. This was the start of the credit card's popularity.
Questions 26 to 28 are based on the passage you've just heard.
26. What does a credit card permit its holders to do?
27. What does each credit card have?
28. What does a central billing office do?
22. 答案A
解析：聽力段落一開始就講到信用卡的用途，持卡人當時不用付賬，就可以購買物品或享受服務。所以A為正確答案。
23. 答案C
解析：選項提到某個號，考生要注意聽力中的細節。接下來，聽力中講，每張信用卡都有一個賬號，而選項中A、B、D在聽力中并沒有提及。
24. 答案D
解析：選項是關于某種東西的功能。聽力接下來提到billing office，隨后討論它的功能，計算持卡人每月的總花費，并寄給他一個賬單。選項C是個干擾項，是購買者把支票寄給billing office。
Passage Two
【29】In western culture music is regarded as good by birth, and sounds that are welcome are said to be "music to the ears". In some other cultures for example, Islamic culture——it is of low value, associated with sin and evil. In the West and in the high cultures of Asia, it is said that there are three types of music. First, 【30】classical music, composed and performed by trained professionals originally under the support of courts and religious establishments; second, folk music, shared by the population at large and passed on orally; and third, 【30】popular music, performed by professionals, spread through radio, television, records, films, and print, and consumed by the urban mass public.
Music is a major component in religious services, theatre, and entertainment of all sorts. 【31】The most universal use of music is as a part of religious ritual. Another less obvious function of music is social adherence. Music also symbolizes military, patriotic and funeral moods and events. In a more general sense, music may express the central social values of a society. In western music, the interrelationship of conductor and orchestra symbolizes the need for strong cooperation among various kinds of specialists in a modern industrial society.
Questions 29 to 31 are based on the passage you've just heard.
29. In what culture is music regarded as good by birth?
30. Which of the following is performed by professionals?www.233.com考試就上考試大
31. According to the passage, what is the most universal use of music?
29. 答案C
解析：根據選項，考生要特別判斷音樂在不同文化中的地位。聽力一開始，就說在西方文化中，音樂地位很高，而在Islamic(伊斯蘭)文化中，音樂價值很低，所以C為正確選項。
答案B
解析：根據選項，考生要關注不同音樂形式之間的異同。聽力接下來講到三種音樂形式，古典音樂是有專業人士譜曲演奏，民間音樂卻在人民大眾之間分享，而流行音樂也是由專業人員表演。從中，考生可以總結，古典音樂和流行音樂都是由專業人士制作。
答案D
解析：考生已經確定本篇聽力的主題是音樂，所以從選項中可以推測問題是關于音樂的功能。聽力第二段一開始，講到音樂最普遍的功能是宗教儀式的一部分。選項A、B、C都是音樂的功能，卻不是本篇聽力認為的the most universal use of music。
Passage Three
William Shakespeare was christened in the market town of Stratford on Avon, Warwickshire, 【32】on April 26, 1564; traditionally; his actual birthday was three days earlier, on St. George's day, the same day as his death fifty-two years later. His father, John, was a respected middle-class trader, and his mother, Mary Arden, came from a family of local landowners. It seems probable that young William received a fair education (for his day) at the local Grammar School; 【33】at the age of eighteen he married a girl eight years older than himself, Anne Hathaway, who gave him a child the following year and twins in 1585. Little else is known of his early life, and so we cannot tell what made him decide to leave Stratford in 1586 for London, where he stayed until 1611. 【34】In London he must soon have attracted attention, because by 1592 he was a popular enough writer and actor to be laughed at by an older dramatist as an uneducated Jack of all trades. He is mentioned as being among the principal actors of the city as early as 1598, and 【35】in 1599 we find that he is a member of the company running the Globe Theater, with one-tenth interest in the profits—showing a business sense rarely seen in his fellow writers. His popularity is indicated by the fact that not only were his own plays published under his name, which was a rare procedure in his day, but also plays by others are to be found attributed to him, as if to indicate that his name alone would promise a good sale.
Questions 32 to 35 are based on the passage you've just heard.
32. When did William Shakespeare die?
33. When did Shakespeare and his wife have their first child?
34. Which one can we infer from the article?
35. Which of the following is true?
答案D
解析：選項是時間，考生要注意聽力篇章中不同時間的表達。考生如果了解Shakespeare，可能知道他去世的時間。如果不知道，聽力一開始說他洗禮的時間是1564年4月26日，比他生日晚三天。52年后他去世的日子和真正的生日同一天，由此可以推斷他死于1616年4月23日。
答案C
解析：選項依然是關于時間。聽力篇章中間講，Shakespeare在18歲的時候娶妻，第二年生子。因此他們第一個小孩出生在1583年。
答案C
解析：選項是人們對Shakespeare的了解。聽力篇章中間講，在倫敦，他很快就引起了大家的關注。選項A是個干擾項，人們對Shakespeare早期的生活是有所了解，雖然了解的不多。
答案B
解析：選項討論Shakespeare是否有經濟頭腦。聽力篇章靠后講，Shakespeare經營the Globe Theater，擁有十分之一的利潤，這表明他很有經濟頭腦。
Section C
答案handle
解析：在情態動詞can的后面需要用動詞原型。handle是個比較常用的動詞，意為“處理，解決”。
答案extension轉載自:考試大 - [233.com]
解析：在定冠詞the的后面，需要用名詞。extension是動詞extend的名詞形式，表示“擴充，擴張”。考生要注意，后綴是-sion，并非-tion。
答案communication
解析：在動詞create和名詞problems之間，應該是對problems的修飾，解釋說明什么樣的問題。communication是個常見的名詞，在這里意為“交通”。
答案proposal
解析：不定冠詞a的后面應該使用可數名詞，再加上后面的動詞put forward，考生可以推測缺少的名詞是關于“建議，提議”的，proposal是propose的名詞，以-al結尾。
答案relieve
解析：help to do sth.的結構讓考生判斷空白處可能是個動詞。根據上下文，這個提議是幫助緩解交通阻塞問題的。動詞relieve表示“緩解壓力”，考生要注意relief是名詞，此處要用動詞。
答案involves
解析：此處有主語，有賓語，缺少謂語動詞。主語是個單數，所以考生要注意動詞involve后面要加上表示第三人稱單數的-s。
答案comparatively
解析：根據語法，本空是個副詞來修飾后面的little。comparatively是個比較常用的副詞，“比較地，相對地”。
答案remaining
解析：本空是個后置定語，用來修飾前面的名詞problem。Remain是個不及物動詞，用-ing形式表示“遺留的，仍然存在的”。
答案There has been so much publicity in recent years regarding the high level of noise near airports
解析：空白處之后的一句話講，在城鎮建立新機場，政府可能會遇到相當大的阻力，那前半句應該是“對這個問題爭論了很久”。此句中需要注意的詞匯：publicity，regarding。
答案 The fact remains that increasing numbers of people want to travel by air and will accept somewhat slower flights
解析：空白處是在后面特定條件下的某種結果。如果市中心有方便的機場，將會出現怎樣的結果?此句中需要注意的詞匯：increasing，somewhat，slower(考生注意其中的比較級)。
答案it's a question of compromise between the travelers and the local inhabitants.
解析：此句為文章的最后一句，表示最終的結果。此句中需要注意的詞匯：compromise，travelers，inhabitants。考生要注意其名詞復數形式。
