Passage 1
16. What does the speaker say characterizes American campuses?
答案：(A) The cozy communal life.
【點評】：細節(jié)題。本篇文章開頭即指出 'Few foreign universities put much emphasis on the cozy communal life that characterizes American campuses from clubs and sports teams to student publications and drama societies.'此可知美國校園的特點就在于集體生活，比如俱樂部、運動隊、學生刊物以及戲劇社團。

答案：(C) It is as important as their learning experience.
【點評】：細節(jié)題。布朗大學校長在說到學生日常生活時說“In America it is assumed that a student’s daily life is as important as his learning experience. . .” 可見在美國學生平日生活和他們的學習經(jīng)歷同等重要。
18. In what way is the United States unrivaled according to the speaker?
答案：(C) It provides numerous options for students.
【點評】：細節(jié)題。聽力原文中說到America’s menu of options—research universities, state institutions, private liberal-arts schools, community colleges, religious institutions, military academies—is unrivaled.其實歸根結底就是America's menu of options is unrivaled.美國各類學校應有盡有任你選。
19. What does the speaker say about universities in Europe and Japan?
答案：(B) They are responsible merely to their Ministry of Education.
【點評】：細節(jié)題。說到歐洲和日本大學時，原文"In Europe and Japan, universities are answerable only to a ministry of education, which sets academic standards and distributes money."中的"answerable only to…"意思和"be responsible merely to"相同，即“只對……負責，只聽從……的”。
Passage 2
20. What does the speaker say about the sea link ferry?
答案：(D)It is leaving Folkestone in about five minutes.
【點評】：細節(jié)題。聽力原文為"We are due to leave Folkestone in about five minutes."渡船將在五分鐘內(nèi)出發(fā)。其他選項信息都沒在聽力中出現(xiàn)。
21. Where is the snack bar situated?
答案：(D) In the front of A deck.
【點評】：細節(jié)題。聽力原文為"There's a snack bar serving sandwiches and hot and cold refreshments situated in the front of A deck."。小吃店是位于甲板A上。基本信息重現(xiàn)。
22. What does the speaker say about the lounge on B deck?
答案：(A) It is for the sole use of passengers travelling with cars.
【點評】：細節(jié)題。聽力原文為"Passengers are reminded that the lounge on B deck is for the sole-use of passengers traveling with cars..." B甲板上的休息室是專門給那些開車旅游的乘客的。基本信息重現(xiàn)。
Passage 3
23. B. It was named after its discoverer.
24. C. Cro-Magnon people painted animals they hunted and ate.
25. A. They know little about why the paintings were created.
【點評】本文為科普類說明文，主要圍繞法國東南部的一個著名洞穴——肖維巖洞(Grotte Chauvet)展開。肖維巖洞由Jean-Marie Chauvet在1994年圣誕夜首次發(fā)現(xiàn)，故以Chauvet的名字命名。與法國同時期其他洞穴不同的是，肖維巖洞內(nèi)的動物壁畫并不是被捕獵的動物，而是那些大型、有力而威猛的動物。許多專家們由此認為，壁畫上的動物是當時人們精神生活的象征。本文由于涉及國外藝術文化的話題，對許多考生來說比較生疏。但只要對篇章的開頭及結尾、相關關鍵詞做到有效把握，答出問題也是比較容易的。
