预览四道题各选项,由 22 题可猜测对话中密斯(Karen)很可能对某一课程贫乏乐趣或感
觉吃力,23 题则触及到 Karen 对专业的爱好题目,25 题则表白对话很可能与 Karen 改换
专业有关。综合来看,对话很多是环绕Karen 不满今朝专业想更调这一话题展开。
22. Why can't Karen concentrate on the book?
【解析】由 worried, find it too hard, lack interest可猜测本题很多是与 Karen 对 it 的感受有关。由本题[A]中的 seminar(会商会)及其他题选项中 course, major 等词可猜测本题中 it应当与某一课程有关。是说男士一向打搅Karen,与其他三项(Karen 本身的感受)内容较着分歧,故可初步解除。而按照 23 题中prefer 和 enjoy 可猜测本题很多是与 Karen的乐趣有关,即本题答案很可能为[D]。
23. Why is Karen starting to like the course less and less?
【解析】按照上题阐发,选项中 boring, poorly designed 与 prefer, enjoy 表白本题很多是关于 Karen 对该课程贫乏乐趣的启事有关。两道题连络起来阐发,问 题应当是 Karen 主不雅方面的启事引发的。是以本题的答案应首要在[C]和[D]之间选择,重点辩白 Karen 是更喜好“philosophy(哲学)” 还是更喜好“literature(文学)” 。 rather than 意为“而不是”。
24. Who thinks Philosophy graduates have limited job opportunities?
【解析】选项均为人物角色表白本题是针对“who”进行发问。联系对话主题,本题很可
能与影响 Keren 对课程或专业的爱好或选择的人有关。听音时重视辨认选项中的关头词。
Have one’s best interest at heart 意为“ 处处为或人的好处着想”。
25. What is Karen thinking of doing?
【解析】选项均为此刻分词表白本题为查核“行动勾当”类型。与对话主题及其他选项均无关系,故可初步解除。[D]是说要退出大学,而按照对主题的阐发,对话首要触及的是专业题目,没有提到要退学的题目,故本题答案更可能在[A]和[C]之间选择。而 [C]选项是说转到外语系,实际上也是改变专业,包含在[A]以内,故本题答案最有可能为[A]。重视这里的 quit 是指退呈此刻的专业,而 不是指退出大学,选择答案时需按照上下文,切忌按还是识进行判定。
Section B
Passage One
In Greece, only rich people will rest in peace for ever when they die. Most of the population, however, will be undisturbed for only three years, then they will be dug up, washed, compressed into a small tin box, and placed in a bone room. If the body has only partially decayed, it is reburied in a smaller cheaper grave, but not for long, the body will be dug up again some time later when it has fully decayed. Buying a piece of land for a grave is the only way to avoid this process. The cost of the grave is so great that most people choose to rent a grave for three years and even after being dug up, lasting peace is still not guaranteed. If no one pays for renting space in the bone room, the skeleton is removed and stored in a building in a poor part of the town. Lack of space in Amphons is the main reason why the dead are dug up after three years. The city is so overcrowded that sometimes dead bodies are kept in hospitals for over a week until a grave is found. Amphons city council wants to introduce cremation that is burning the dead bodies as a means of dealing with the problem. But the Greek Church resists this practice, they believe the only place where people burn is a hell, so burning dead bodies is against the Greek concept of life after death. To save space, the church suggested burying the bodies standing up instead of lying down. Some people proposed building multistory underground grave yards.
预览四道题各选项,由几次呈现的 bury, body, grave 等词可猜测本文与尸身在坟场的安躲有关。
26. What must Greeks do to keep the dead resting in everlasting peace?
【解析】选项均为动词本相表白本题为查核“行动勾当”类型。四个选项均与埋躲尸身有关,项概念太泛,其他三项都较具体,故不大可能为答案。 [A]暗示“租”坟场,而[D]暗示“买”坟场,二者中很可能有一个为答案,听音时应重点存眷。Everlasting 意为“持久的”。 按照首句中only rich people…便可根基肯定答案为 [D](没有钱就买不起坟场)。
27. Why are most dead bodies in Amphons dug up after three years?
【解析】选项均为不定式表白本题很多是查核做某事的目标或启事。按照短文主题及选项中decayed, move 等词可猜测, 中的 they 和 [C]中 them 应当是代指“bodies”。 按照 、[D]选项内容可猜测本题很多是与移动尸身的目标或启事有关。听 音时应寄看暗示因果关系的连接词。一般这类扣问目标或启事的题目常常是在题目上做句型的转换,也就是对原文的同义转述,答案则常常是原文的细节辨认,是以听音时应重点寄看以下要点:lack of land;if decayed; religion;multistorey graveyard。
28. What suggestions does the church give about the burying of the dead bodies?
【解析】选项表白本题很多是关于尸身埋躲的编制。由选项中的 should 可猜测本题很可能与建议或定见有关。故听音时应重点寄看表达建议或定见的词句。[D]是说在尸身部分腐臭的时辰将尸身下躲,不太合适逻辑,可初步解除。[A]是说埋躲时将尸身躺着放,则是说埋躲时将尸身立着放,二者正好相反,故很可能有一个为答案。本题的选择可连络 27 题,如考生能肯定 27 答案为[A],便 可根基肯定本题答案为( buried standing up→save land→solve the problem of lack of land)。
29. What practice does the Greek church object to?
【解析】选项均为动名词表白本题为查核“行动勾当”类型。四个选项均暗示措置尸身的编制,故本题很多是关于除埋躲以外的其他措置尸身的编制。[D]是说三年后将尸身挖出,仍然与埋躲尸身有关,且不属于尸身的安设编制,与其他三项内容较着分歧,故可初步解除。听音时应寄看以下要点:b urn;st ore in remote place;p lace in bone room。本题只要抓住 burn 一词便不难选出答案。
Questions 30 to 32 are based on the passage you have just heard.
Passage Two
If you visit a big city anywhere in the world, you will probably find a restaurant would serve the food of your own native country. Most large cities in the United States offer international sample of foods. Many people enjoy eating the food of other nations. This is probably one reason why there are so many different kinds of restaurants in the United States. A second reason is that many Americans come from other parts of the world. They enjoy tasting the foods of their native lands. In the city of Detroit, for example, there are many people from western Europe, Greece, Latin America, and the Far East. There are many restaurants in Detroit which serve the foods of these areas. There are many other international restaurants too. Americans enjoy the foods in these restaurants as well as the opportunity to better understand the people and their way of life. One of the most common international restaurants to be found in the United States is the Italian restaurant. The restaurant may be a small business run by a single family. The mother of the family cooks all of the dishes, and the father and children serve the people who come to eat there. Or it may be a large restaurant owned by several different people who worked together in the business. Many Italian dishes that Americans enjoy are made with meats, tomatoes and cheese. They are very delicious and tasty.
预览三道题各选项,由选项中 immigrants, other countries, other cultures 和 eating out, foreign foods, cooking 等词可猜测本文与美国的移平易近及美国人的饮食习惯有关。
30. Why are there so many international restaurants in the United States?
【解析】选项中的 foreign, immigrants 表白本题很可能与美国对外来食品的爱好有关。 [A]、[C]、[D]三项均与“外来食品”有关,是说美国人喜好和伴侣“外出吃饭”, 与外来食品无关,故[可初步解除。[D]是说美国人更偏疼外来食品而不大喜好本身国度的食品,说法过于尽对(这应当只是一部分美国人的爱好),故也可初步解除。是以本题的关头就是在“ tourists ( 旅客)” 和“immigrants(移平易近)” 之间选择。
31. Why do Americans like to go to international restaurants apart from enjoying the foods there?
【解析】选项中都含有 can 表白本题很可能与做某事可以或许达到的目标有关。由 选项中的other countries, other cultures, foreign 等可猜测本题很可能触及到与其他国度人平易近的接触。根 据对主题的阐发可知本文首要与饮食有关,而[C]、[D]别离是从说话和贸易角度来讲,与主题不太相干,且从其他各题选项中均找不到与这两方面相干的线索,故 二者均不大可能为答案。故本题首要应在[A](make friends)和(know other cultures)之间选择。而按还是识,饮食应当与文化和糊口编制联系比较慎密,是以答案为的可能性更大。
32. How is it typical Italian family restaurant run in the United States?
【解析】选项中 waitress, serve, guests 和husband, mother, children 等表白本题很可能与家庭经营的餐馆中各个家庭成员若何分工有关。四个选项中负责 cooking 的人均分歧,别离是 couple, husband, mother 和 hired cook。故听音时只要辩白出由谁来 cooking便可肯定答案。wait on sb. 意为“顾问或侍侯或人(尤指进餐时)”。
Passage Three
One winter day in 1891, a class of training school in Massachusetts, U. S. A, went into the gym for their daily exercises. Since the football season had ended, most of young men felt they were in for a boring time. But their teacher, Janes Nasmith had other ideas. He had been working for a long time on the new game that would have the excitement of American football. Nasmith showed the men a basket he had hung at the each end of the gym, and explained that they were going to use a round European football, at first everybody tried to throw the ball into the basket no matter where he was standing. “Pass! Pass!” Nasmith kept shouting, blowing his whistle to stop the excited players. Slowly, they began to understand what was wanted of them. The problem with the new game, which was soon called “basketball”, was getting the ball out of the basket. They used ordinary food baskets with bottoms, and the ball, of course, stayed inside. At first, someone had to climb up every time a basket was scored. It was several years before someone came up with the idea of removing the bottom of the basket and letting the ball fall through. There have been many changes in the rules since then, and basketball has become one of the world’s most popular sports.
预览三道题各选项,由选项中 basketball game, basket, rules 等可猜测本文与篮球比
赛和比赛法则有关。
33. What did Nasmith do to entertain his students one winter day?
【解析】选项中 train, let, taught 表白 he 很多是代指“锻练”。 本题很多是问锻练
带领或教队员们做甚么。[A]是说“不雅看”篮球比赛,而从本题其他选项及 34 题各选
项可知队员们应当是亲身在“参与”比赛,故[A]可初步解除。是说踢欧洲足球(football),而本题及其他题各选项中触及的均是篮球(basketball),故也可初步解除。根 据 34 题[C]和 35 题[C]中的rules 可猜测本文很可能先容的是一种新型比赛项目(new game),故本题的答案最有可能为[D]。
34. According to the speaker, what was the problem with the new game?
【解析】选项中 trouble, difficulty 表白本题很可能与比赛中的题目或坚苦有关。[D]不是比胜过程中具体的题目,与 其他三项内容较着分歧,故可初步解除。是以听音时应重点存眷以下要点:问 题-basket too high, ball out of basket, complex rules。
35. How was the problem with the new game solved?
【解析】选项表白本题是关于做某事的编制。而前面阐发可知,34 题是关于比赛中的题目或坚苦,故 本题很多是关于若何解决该题目或坚苦。因 此本题答案的选择可联系 34 题。而略加阐发便不难发现,本题中[A]、、[C]别离是针对 34 题、[A]、[C]三种题目的解决编制,是以只要抓住题目或解决编制中的任何一方面,便可肯定两道题的答案。remove 意为“往除,往掉落”。
Section C
For Americans, time is money. They say, “You only get so much time in this life? you’d better use it wisely. ” The (36) ______ will not be better than the past or present, as Americans are (37) ______ to see things, unless people use their time for constructive activities. Thus, Americans (38) ______ a “ wellorganized ” person, one who has a written list of things to do and a (39) ______ for doing them. The ideal person is punctual and is (40) ______ of other people’s time. They do not (41) _______ people’s time with conversation or other activity that has no (42) ______ beneficial outcome. The American attitude toward time is not (43) ______shared byothers, especially nonEuropeans. They are more likely to regard time as (44)________________. One of the more difficult things many students must adjust to in the States is the notion that time must be saved whenever possible and used wisely every day.
In this context (45) _______________. McDonald’s, KFC, and other fast food establishments are successful in a country where many people want to spend the least amount of time preparing and eating meals. As McDonald’s restaurants (46) _______________________, bringing not just hamburgers but an emphasis on speed, efficiency, and shiny cleanliness.
(36) future (37) trained (38) admire (39) schedule (40) considerate (41) waste (42) visible (43) necessarily (44) something that is simply there around them, not something they can use (45) the fast-food industry can be seen as a clear example of American cultural product (46)spread around the world, they have been viewed as symbols of American society and culture
(36)空前定冠词 the 及空后 will 表白所填词应为名词,并充当句子的主语,而 按照句子后面的 than the past or present 可知此处是与“畴昔”或“此刻”的比较,很轻易便可以联想到“future(将来)” 。
(37) 空前系动词 are 及空后不定式表白所填词很可能为畴昔分词,其逻辑宾语为 Americans。本句中 as 暗示“正如”, 指导非限拟定语从句,代替前面全部句子,是以应重视所填词在乎思上与前面句子的连贯性。
(38) 空前Americans 及空后的名词短语表白所填词应充当句子的谓语动词,主语为复数,且前后句子的时态均为此刻时,故此处应填动词本相。“ thus”表白本空地点句子应为前句内容导致的成果。既然美国人以为应当把时候用在成心义的工作上,那么他们对 “wellorganized person(有层次的人)” 应当是持“赞美(admire)” 的态度。
(39) 空前不定冠词a 及空后介词短语表白所填词应为单数可数名词。one who has … 应是对前面“ a wellorganized person”的诠释,并且and 表白本空应与 a written list 并列。按照上文,“ a wellorganized person”应当是指善于放置时候的人,是以他在把要做的工作列成清单的同时应当把时候也放置好,故本空很可能填“schedule(时候放置表)” 一词。
(40) 由 and 可知所填词应与 punctual(准时的)并列作表语共同描述“ideal person”的特点。按照上文所述,理 想的人应当可以或许做到准时并充分“ 尊敬”或 “ 考虑”他人的时候。故本空很可能填“respectful”或“considerate”。
(41) 空前 They 及空后的名词短语表白所填词应充当句子的谓语动词,而助动词 do not 决定此处应填动词本相。本空可联系第 40 空的阐发。本空地点句子仍然是描述“ideal person”的环境,上句中说他们都很准时,弦外之音就是他们不会“华侈(waste)” 他人的时候。
(42)空前的no 和空后的名词短语表白此处应为形容词润色 outcome(结果)。That 指导定语从句润色前面的conversation or other activity,按照上一题的阐发,本句应当是暗示抱负的人是不会用那些不克不及带来(42)______好处的谈话或其他勾当往华侈他人的时候的。而从短文前面的内容可知,本文主如果夸大时候的效力,是以这里应当有“快速或较着”的含义。
(43)本空位于系动词和谓语动词之间,故所填词很可能为副词,润色动词 shared。本空地点句子的含义为美国人对时候的态度不(43) ______被其他人分享,特别是欧洲以外的人。这类说法过于尽对,故所填词应表达一种“( 不)完全或必然”的含义。后面句子中的 more likely 也提示这里应表达一种非尽对的概念。
(44)空前的 regard time as 表白所缺部分应为 as 的宾语,故其情势应为名词短语。而本句的主语 they 应当指代的是 nonEuropean,按照上句所述,他们应当不像美国人那样垂青时候。[Main Points] something that simply exists around them, not something they can use
(45) in this context 意为“在这类概念的促使下”, 指代的应当是上文的环境,即每天要尽可能的节俭并有效地操纵时候,故接下来描述的应当是上文环境而至使的成果。而按照空后的“McDonald’s, KFC, and other fast food”, 所缺部分应当是描述快餐店的呈现。[Main Points] the fast food industry can be viewed as a good example of the cultural product of the U.S
(46) 空前的as McDonald’s restaurants 意为“跟着麦当劳餐馆的…”, 而空后的此刻分词短语(bringing not…)应当是前面内容导致的成果,即前面的环境不但给人们带来了汉堡包并且导致了人们对速度、效力和干净的正视,是以此处很多是指美国这类快餐店在其他国度的扩大给其他国度带来的影响。填空时要重视因为空前是 as 指导的从句,而 空后是此刻分词作状语,故所缺部分应当包含从句的谓语部分及全部主句才能使句子的布局完全。[Main Points] spread around the world, they have been regarded as symbols of the society and culture of the U.S
