Section A
11. W: Theres a great movie on TV tonight. Do you want to watch it?
M: Id rather not if its on at the same time as the football match.
Q: What does the man imply?
【解析】选[A]。男士表示如果电影和足球比赛同时放,他宁可不看电影。可见他更喜欢收看体育节目。would rather not表示宁可不。
12. M: I cant understand why Im getting so far behind.
W: Well, you know sometimes with all the fun and good times at university, it is easy to lose track of why you are here.
Q: What does the woman infer the man should do?
【解析】选[D]。lose track of...本意是脱离的轨道,结合with all the fun and good times at university推断,lose track of why you are here应是指背离了来大学的初衷。男士不明白自己为什么落后了那么多,女士帮他分析原因的同时其实还在暗示他要专注于上大学的初衷,好好学习,而不要被玩乐拖了后腿。选项[D]正确。
13. W: How about going skiing with us? Were planning to do a bit of snowboarding too.
M: It sounds like fun. But Id better tell you, Ive never been on a snowboard and Im not much a skier, either.
Q: What does the man imply?
【解析】选[C]。It sounds like fun表明男士愿意一道去滑雪,但从never been on a snowboard及not much a skier, either推断,他对此并不擅长。选项[C]与此相符,为答案。snowboarding指单板滑雪。
14. W: Im trying to finish these practice test questions but Ive still got about 12 questions to do. At this rate, Ill be burning the midnight oil if I hope to finish.
M: Oh, that explains why youve been hiding in here. You probably havent heard that the professor postponed the exam until further notice.
Q: What does the man mean?
【解析】选[A]。until further notice直到进一步通知 will inform everyone when itll be held,选项[A]与对话相符。burn the midnight oil指开夜车。
15. W: That picture flatters Susan very much. Dont you think so?
M: No, I dont. As a matter of fact, it makes her a little older than she really is.
Q: What does the woman think of the picture?
【解析】选[D]。本题问的女士对照片的看法。That picture flatters sb. That picture beautifies sb.,指照片照得比本人漂亮,因此选项[D]正确。
16. M: Youve certainly done a lot of research for your project.
W: It seems like a lot, but actually Ive just scratched the surface.
Q: What does the woman mean?
【解析】选[C]。scratch the surface的本意是略懂皮毛,结合男士说的Youve certainly done a lot of research推测,女士说的Ive just scratched the surface应是指 她做的工作还远远不够,选项[C]正确。
17. W: Im so excited that I cant sleep at night.
M: Id be excited too if I had my passport, visa and boat ticket.
Q: What do we learn about the woman?
【解析】选[D]。结合passport护照,visa签证和boat ticket船票推测,女士是所以兴奋得睡不着是因为她快要出国了,选项[D]正确。

M: Its nice to meet you, Sarah. I believe we even work for the same drug company, although in different Departments.

Conversation One
W: Hello, Professor Dannis, my name is Anna Adams. I read in the university newspaper that you were looking for a student to work as a language laboratory assistant?
M: Yes, we are. Are you interested in the job?
W: I think so, but before I apply, Id like you to tell me more about the work.
M: Have you worked with tape recorders before?
W: I used cassette a lot when I was studying French in high school.
M: Good. There are many different kinds of language labs, ours is a small one, and its fairly easy to operate. This is the main control panel, you can set the controls to a lot of students to listen to the lessons they want to hear. If you decide to take the job, Ill explain how the system operates. Most of the lessons are on cassette tapes, but some of them are also on long reel tapes of records. The cassettes are kept in order on these shelves, and they are clearly numbered with the language and the lesson number. For example, the cassettes in the green boxes are French lessons. Records and tapes are over there.
W: How much hours would I work?
M: We need someone ten hours a week, Monday through Friday from 4 p.m. to 6 p.m.. This is one of the busiest times for this laboratory.
W: Ill fill out an application for this job right now. It would fit into my schedule nicely.
M: Fine, Ill get back to you in a week or so after we review the applications.
Questions 19 to 21 are based on the conversation you have just heard.
19. What is the woman?
【解析】选[C]。选项表明该题是就某人的身份或工作提问。后三个选项均与学校中的老师或学生有关,[A]与其他三项明显不同,故可初步排除。由对话中女士所说的you were looking for a student to work...以及I apply可推知女士是一名学生,故选[C]。[D]是针对对话中提出的laboratory assistant设的干扰项。
20. What is the mans opinion of the language laboratory?
【解析】选[D]。选项表明该题可能与语音室的具体工作有关。[A]、[B]、[D]都涉及到了具体的工作,[C]只讲到了与其他语音室的不同,与主题无关,故可初步排除。由对话中男士所说的ours is a small one, and its fairly easy to operate可推知他认为语音室操作很简单,故选[D]。[A]是针对对话中提到的French设的干扰项。[B]在对话中没有涉及。
21. What will the woman do right now?
【解析】选[B]。选项均以动词原形开头表明该题考查行为动作。听音过程中发现[B]正是对对话中女士所说的Ill fill out an application for this job right now的同义转述,因此答案为[B]。[A]与女士说的It would fit into my schedule nicely矛盾。
Conversation Two
M: Do you think young people are given too much freedom nowadays, and that as a result theyve lost respect for their parents and their elders generally?
W: I dont thinks so. My parents never interfered with my plans too much. They advised me but never forced me to do anything I didnt want to do. I was allowed to take up the career I wanted. I think I respect and love them more for this.
M: Are you quite independent of them now?
W: Yes. As soon as I left school and started my studies as a nurse I became independent financially. I have a government grant. It is enough for my daily life. But I still stay with them a lot, as you know.
M: You seem very close to your parents.
W: I am. Many young people today say they have nothing in common with their parents, but Im rather lucky because I get on very well with mine. What about you?
M: Well, we value family life very much in my country. Im very fond of my family, but I dont always get on very well with them. They try to control me too much.
W: But they allow you to come to study in England on your own.
M: Yes, but only after a lot of persuasion! Your parents treat you as an adult; my parents treat me as a child.
W: As I said, Im lucky. Some English parents are like yours. They interfere too much and they just refuse to understand our generation.
Questions 22 to 25 are based on the conversation you have just heard.
22. According to the woman, why does she respect their parents?
【解析】选[B]。选项表明该题可能考查女士与父母之间保持良好关系或女士尊重父母的原因。前三项都直接或间接涉及到了父母,[D]没有涉及到父母,与其他三项明显不同,故可初步排除。由对话中的They...never forced me to do anything I didnt want to do...I respect and love them more for this可推知答案是[B]。
23. What happened when the woman began to study nursing?
【解析】选[A]。选项表明该题可能考查女士在发生某件事之后与父母的关系。前三项都涉及到了女士与父母的关系,[D]只是说她自己一个人租房子住,与父母关系不大,故可初步排除。由对话中女士所说的I left school...I became independent financially. I have a government grant. It is enough for my daily life推断,女士学习护士后在经济上就可以自立了,故选[A]。[C]是针对对话中I still stay with them a lot设的干扰项。
24. What attitude did the mans parents have towards his study abroad?
【解析】选[C]。选项表明该题可能考查男士的父母对男士出国的态度。[A]与[C]的观点完全相反,根据命题规律可知两个观点完全相反的选项中很可能有一个是答案。由对话中女士说的they allow you to come to study in England on your own及男士的回答Yes, but only after a lot of persuasion推断,男士的父母是经男士劝说后才同意他出国学习的,故选[C]。[B]是针对my parents treat me as a child设的干扰项。
25. What can we learn from the conversation?
【解析】选[A]。根据常识可知父母干涉子女的事情在任何国家都有可能发生,故[C]中的never语气太绝对,可初步排除。由女士所说的they allow you to come to study in England及Some English parents are like yours可推知女士来自英国,男士来自英国以外的其他国家,故选[A]。[B]和[D]都是根据男士所说的Im very fond of my family, but I dont always get on very well with them设的干扰项。
