14、ibi, said four men on motorcycles initially opened fire on a parked passenger bus at a hotel. the armed men then came close to the bus and splashed petrol, setting it on fire, he said. he said most of the dead were either children or women. balochistan, near the afghan border, is rich in natural res

15、ources. but it is also in under a riot. militants there have for years complained that the central government has paid little attention to them and their economic needs. they have been fighting pakistani military forces for self-rule. pakistan has said the militants in balochistan do not have links

16、to the islamic hard-liners who have launched attacks in other parts of the country. who were most of the victims according to the news?解析 受害者大部分是巴士上的女性和兒童，因此選c項“平民，百姓”。預讀選項時可發(fā)現(xiàn)選項a、b、d分別是持武器的人、武裝分子和不妥協(xié)者，只有c項“平民”是處于弱勢地位的群體，最有可能是victims。2、c聽力原文 what are the militants in balochistan dissatisfied with?解析

17、 新聞中提到，武裝分子多年來一直埋怨中央政府(central government)忽略他們和他們的經(jīng)濟需求。因此選c項。a項“停放著的公交”是事件發(fā)生的地方，b項“摩托車上持武器的人”是縱火人，d項“伊斯蘭的反叛者”是發(fā)動其他地區(qū)襲擊的反叛者，這些都與問題無關。3、c聽力原文 a un agency says there are major funding gaps in efforts to help the agricultural sector adapt to climate change. the food and agriculture organization, the fao

18、, says this could affect food security. the warning comes as the un climate change conference continues in cancun, mexico. the world bank estimates it will cost about $2.5 billion a yearfor the next 40 yearsto help agriculture in developing countries adapt to climate change. other estimates say cost

19、s could run as high as $14 billion a year. however, the fao says, available financing mechanisms are substantially insufficient to meet the climate change and food security challenges faced by the agricultural sector. this, despite the fact that the fao says there are many examples of how agricultur

20、e can become more. according to the world bank, how much does it cost to tackle agricultural challenges yearly?解析 新聞中指出，世界銀行估計在今后的40年時間里，協(xié)助發(fā)展中國家的農(nóng)業(yè)適應氣候變化，每年得花費25個億。而有些人認為每年的費用將高達140億。本題問的是世界銀行的估算，故答案為c項。本題是數(shù)字題，聽音時可邊看數(shù)字邊選擇。a項中的140億是其他人的估計，b項400億是利用“40年”這個時間跨度作干擾，d項“25億”未提到。4、d聽力原文 according to fao, w

21、hat is the problem faced by the agricultural sector?解析 fao指出，現(xiàn)有的融資機制遠不能應對農(nóng)業(yè)部門所面臨的氣候變化及食品安全挑戰(zhàn)(available financing mechanisms are.insufficient)，這就是農(nóng)業(yè)部門所面臨的問題，d項復現(xiàn)了原文，只不過是將原文句子簡化成短語了。5、a聽力原文 the u.s. federal reserve announced yesterday it was raising interest rates for the first time since 2006. known

22、as the fed, its americas central bank. its led by janet yellen. its job is to help stabilize americas financial system. the fed makes moves to try to lower unemployment and control inflation, when the price of goods goes up too fast for people to afford them. because the u.s. economy is growing, the

23、 fed raised its key interest rate by a quarter of a percentage point, not much. but gradual rate increases are likely in the new year. that means youll have to pay more interest if you borrow money, higher loan rates for home buyers, higher interest rates if you finance a car, higher student loan ra

24、tes for people who enter colleges afterwards. eventually, savings accounts could earn a little more interest. a decade since the last star wars, and nearly just as long, nine years, since the fed last changed interest rates. but now, its time for the fed to awaken, because after three episodes of qu

25、antitative easing, janet yellen must now use her most powerful weapon to restore balance in the economy. what will happen to interest rates in the us?解析 本題詢問美國利率的變化(interest rates)，新聞開頭提到自2006年以來，美聯(lián)儲第一次加息，由此可以推導出美國的利率提高了，因此選a項。6、b聽力原文 why did the fed change interest rates?解析 本題詢問美聯(lián)儲調整利率的原因，新聞中提到，美聯(lián)儲

26、此舉是為了降低失業(yè)率(lower unemployment)和控制通貨膨脹，因此選b項。a項“刺激房地產(chǎn)”和c項“資助汽車工業(yè)”和新聞內容不符，新聞只是提到美聯(lián)儲調息后人們要還更多房貸或車貸。d項“給更多人提供食物”沒有在新聞中提到。7、d聽力原文 who will benefit from the change of interest rates?解析 本題問的是誰會在此次利率調整中受益，新聞中提到有存款的人會多得一些利息(earn a little more interest)，因此對于銀行儲戶會有好處，故選d項。a項“負有貨款的學生”和b項“需付貸款的戶主”在新聞中均有提及，但加息后，學

27、生和購房者都要付更多銀行貸款，都是受害者。c項的“低收入工人”在新聞中未提及。section bconversation one8、b聽力原文 m: what are you going to have? w: i have no idea. could you help me with the menu? m: yes, sure. these are starters, and these are main courses and these are desserts. see? w: whats the alternative? m: the alternative is to orde

28、r a complete dinner. for a set price you get your choice of soup or juice, one dish with potato and vegetable, salad, bread and butter and sometimes coffee and sometimes dessert. w: and you pay the price listed next to the main course? m: right. like the roast beef dinner is $7.85plus tax and tip, o

29、f course. w: it all looks pretty expensive to me. m: its not. this is only a bit more expensive than mcdonalds. so enjoy yourself. were celebrating, remember? order anything youd like to try; its all on me. w: youre very kind. m: friends are friends. i cannot get promoted often. are you ready to ord

30、er? w: ah, can you tell me what hot fudge sundae is? m: thats a dessert. its an english specialty. its a kind of ice cream with a hot sticky sauce over the topvery sweet and fattening! w: i dont really like the sound of that. how come there is english food? i thought we agreed to eat american food.

31、m: our country is made up of people from all over the world, so besides collected words and phrases from every language, weve also absorbed recipes. we even have a lot of chinese restaurants now. w: which is better, french or chinese cuisine? m: id say its a toss-up. i love them both. w: i didnt kno

32、w you were so fond of foreign foods. when my boss promotes me, i will take you to a french restaurant near my company. the food there is delicious. m: oh, we will have a second dinner soon. whats the relationship between the two speakers?解析 場景推理題。題目詢問兩個對話者是什么關系。對話開頭女士沒拿定主意吃什么，希望男士提些建議，很多考生以為男士是服務員，因

33、此選擇a。也有人因為后文出現(xiàn)get promoted和my boss等用語，錯選d。從全文來看，特別是男士說“friends are friends”，可知答案是b。9、d聽力原文 why does the woman think the man is kind?解析 由選項知，本題將問及男士為女士做了什么事。各選項主語都是“the man”，而賓語都與“她”相關。a項對話中并未提及，可以排除；b項和c項雖然是事實但卻并非原因，故也可排除。對話中，女士覺得飯店的東西很貴，但男士讓她想吃什么就點什么，這才是答案所在，故選d。10、a聽力原文 which of the following stat

34、ements is true about the mans country?解析 推理題。在對話中，男士談到他們國家有來自世界各地的人，他們帶來不同的語言和烹飪方法。c項中的famous與對話無關，b、d兩項與事實相悖。之后他提到現(xiàn)在連(even)中國飯店也有很多了，即以前沒有很多，因此a項正確。11、c聽力原文 what does the man think of the woman?解析 四個選項主語都是he，謂語動詞都表示心理情態(tài)動作，而賓語部分與“她”有關，故可推測，本題問男士對女士的看法。男士雖然沒直接說過c項中的內容，但根據(jù)他說“不久就會再次一起吃飯”的預測，可以看出他非常相信女士

35、的工作能力，因為女士許諾升遷了也要請客，答案為c。a、b兩項均與原文不符。題目詢問的是男士對女士的看法，而d項描述的只是男士自己的喜惡情況，純屬答非所問，故d錯誤。conversation two12、b聽力原文 m: hi. welcome to heavenly pies. may i take your order? w: uh.yes. id like the fried chicken steak. m: okay. would you like fries, bread, or rice with your meal? w: umm. ill take the rice. m: w

36、ould you care for anything to drink? w: yeah. ill take a medium sprite. m: okay. a medium sprite. and what kind of dressing would you like with your salad? it comes with the fried steak. w: what dressings do you have? m: we have french, italian, blue cheese, and ranch. w: oh! ranch, please. m: would

37、 you like anything else? w: well, id like to see your pie menu. thats the main reason why i like to dine here. m: oh, im sorry, but we arent serving pies today. w: huh? m: well, you see, dave, our baker, slipped on a banana peel back in our kitchen two days ago, and injured his back. w: oh, no. m: h

38、ell be out for at least two weeks. in the meantime, were serving ice cream sundaes instead. sorry. w: im sorry to hear that. i hope he gets better soon. what does the woman order?解析 選項均為食物名稱，估計本對話發(fā)生的場景是餐館，問供應或點了什么食物。對話開始處，侍者問“您要點什么?”女士回答說：“我來份炸雞排。”接著，女士又點了米飯作主食，以雪碧為飲料。可見b正確。13、c聽力原文 what king of dre

39、ssing does she ask for?解析 侍者說，點炸雞排送一份沙拉，并問女士用什么樣的沙拉調料。女士從侍者給出的四種調料中選了ranch，故c正確。14、b聽力原文 why does the woman like to dine at heavenly pies?解析 選項均是“介詞for+食物”，可推斷提問與為了吃什么有關。女士說想看餡餅的菜單，說這是她為什么來這家餐館吃飯的主要原因，可見她喜歡吃這家餐館的餡餅，也即為了餡餅而來這家餐館吃飯，故選b。其他三個選項的食物均可從對話中聽到，但都不是女士來就餐的原因，均可排除。15、a聽力原文 why is the restaurant

40、 not serving pies today?解析 侍者解釋為什么沒有餡餅供應時說：“兩天前我們的面包師在廚房里踩到香蕉皮滑倒了，背部受了傷?！惫蔭正確。section cpassage one16、d聽力原文 nowadays motorcycling is fast becoming one of americans most popular sports. however, there are several things about motorcycling that the average citizen dislikes. motorcyclists frequently get

41、 dirty. in fact, they are dirty. on the road there is little to protect them from mud, insects and bird droppings. for practical reasons, they are often dressed in old clothing, which looks much less respectable than the clothing of people who ride in cars. for the same reason, motorcyclists usually

42、 wear dark colors. of course, the danger of motorcycling also helps account for many peoples low opinion of the sport. its defenders, however, claim that careful cyclists are in less danger than its commonly believed. he must pay careful attention to his driving. from that point of view, a man on a

43、motorcycle is safer than a man in a car. why do motorcyclists often dress in old and dark clothing?解析 讀題，主題詞包括they，clothes，motorcycle。由此可大體推測本文的話題，從而為聽的過程提供了背景。文中提到“騎摩托車的人經(jīng)常渾身臟兮兮的。因為路上沒有什么東西為他們遮擋泥土，以及昆蟲和鳥類的糞便?！惫蔬xd。17、d聽力原文 whats the average citizens opinion about motorcycling?解析 短文開頭處however后的內容是聽力重

44、點。聽到the average citizen dislikes可知，普通市民對騎摩托車持負面態(tài)度。a、b、c均是正面態(tài)度，唯有d與此相符。此外，短文后面具體說到，騎摩托車危險，所以人們對其評價不高。由此也可選出d。18、c聽力原文 how can a motorcyclist be safer than a car driver?解析 由四個條件句可知，本題將問到某個細節(jié)。原文結尾處兩次提到careful，并且說從這個角度來看，騎摩托車的人比開車的人更安全。passage two19、c聽力原文 speech is one of the most important ways of comm

45、unicating. it consists of far more than just making noises. to talk and also to be understood by other people, we have to speak a language, that is, we have to use combinations of sounds that everyone agrees stand for a particular object or idea. communication would be impossible if everyone made up

46、 their own language. learning a language properly is very important. the basic vocabulary of english is not very large, and only about 2,000 words are needed to speak it quite well. but the more words you know, the more ideas you can express, and the more precise you can be about their exact meaning

47、. words are the main thing we use in communicating what we want to say. the way we say the words is also very important. our tone of voice can express many emotions and shows whether we are pleased or angry, for instance. what are used to stand for a particular object or idea when we speak a languag

48、e?解析 四個選項是(動)名詞詞組，與語言有關?？蓳?jù)此聽取錄音信息。根據(jù)原文中的定語combination of sounds mat stand for a particular object or idea，選c。20、d聽力原文 what if everyone made up their own language?解析 d是對原文“如果每個人都有自己的語言，就無法進行交流?！钡耐x表達。另類解題法：由選項知，本題將問“它”的作用。a、b、c均說它好，d說它不好，而且a、d屬于矛盾選項。據(jù)此，可以做出大膽推定：選d!(沒有聽問題就選答案!)21、b聽力原文 what is also important besides the main thing in communicating?解析 四個選項均是名詞(詞組)，與語言有關。本題在最后，應在短文末尾處找答案。the main thing in communicating指的是words
