Listening Comprehension

Section A

11. W: Tom, you really must take school more seriously. If you don’t pass your exam, you’ll have

to go out and work.

M: I don’t see that it makes much difference. If I have a job, I have to do boring work every day; but if I’m in school, I must listen to boring teachers every day. Q: What does Tom mean?

【听前预测】根据意思相反的两个选项中有一个很可能是答案的命题规律，答案锁定在[C] 和[D] 之间。由He hopes to可知，男士的话为听音重点。

【解 析】选[C]。男士的话I don’t see that it makes much difference为听音重点。[C]中的no more interesting than与男士的话对应，故答案为[C]。make difference意为“有区别”，no more than意为“不比„„更„„，和„„差不多”。

12. M: Do you have the paperback edition of this dictionary?

W: Yes, we do. But the hardcover is on sale for the same price as the paperback. Q: What does the woman say about the dictionary?

【听前预测】由选项中的price，two editions，expensive等可知，对话与书的两种版本的价格有关。

【解 析】选[A]。由对话中女士的转折表述the hardcover is on sale…same price as the paperback（精装本现在特价„„与平装本同价）可知，答案为[A]。

13. W: Professor Brown’s car has got a scratch.

M: What a shame! But maybe I can give him a hand with the paint work. Q: What does the man mean?

【听前预测】由选项中重复出现的Prof. Brown和He is ashamed/will可知，对话与Brown教授有关，男士的话为听音重点。

【解 析】选[D]。男士的话I can give him a hand with the paint work为听音重点，[D]的内容是对此的同义转述，故答案为[D]。give sb. a hand with (doing) sth.相当于help sb. do sth.，意为“帮某人做某事”。But后的内容常为考点和答案所在。

14. M: Would you please give us a morning call tomorrow morning?

W: Certainly, sir. A morning call at 6:45 tomorrow morning and your luggage will be collected at 7:45. Is that all right?

Q: Where does the conversation most probably take place?

【听前预测】考查地点场所，考生需快速浏览四个选项中的地点场所，并在听音时捕捉关键信息对号入座即可选出答案。

【解 析】选[A]。由对话中男士的问题Would you...give us a morning call和女士的回答Certainly推断，这个对话很可能是发生在旅馆，故答案为[A]。a morning call一般指的是宾馆的叫早服务。

15. M: I think I’m going to give up playing tennis. I lost again today. W: Just because you lost? It that the reason to quit? Q: What does the woman imply?

【听前预测】选项中的The man和should表明，本题考查对男士的建议，女士的话为听音重点。

【解 析】选[C]。对话中女士用疑问的语气“就因为你输了比赛？那就是你放弃的原因吗？”表达了她的惊讶，言外之意是男士不应该因此放弃，故答案为[C]。

16. W: I know why that child has grown so tall by the age of four. His mother requires him to

drink a cup of milk every night before going to bed.

M: It may not be the reason. The child’s father is 2 meters tall. Q: Why has the child grown so tall according to the man?

【听前预测】选项中的a lot of exercise，drinks milk，gets the genes等表明，本题可能是考查男孩长得高的原因，听音时重点留意是什么原因。

【解 析】选[C]。根据对话中男士提到的The child’s father is 2 meters tall可知，这个男孩之所以长得高是因为得到了他父亲的基因，故答案为[C]。

17. W: Hey, Larry. Wanna meet a few of us for coffee in a little while?

M: Hmm, I would if I weren’t so far behind in this reading I’m doing for history. Q: What will the man probably do?

【听前预测】选项均以原-形动词开头以及[B]中的Meet the woman表明，本题可能考查男士将来的行为活动。

【解 析】选[A]。根据男士的话I would if I weren’t so far behind in this reading可知，他不会和女士她们去喝咖啡，而是要继续读书，故答案为[A]。I would if I weren’t...为虚拟用法，指“如果我不„„的话，我就会„„”。

18. M: I’d like to drive to the concert, but my brother is using the car tonight. W: No problem, but haven’t you thought of the subway? Q: What does the woman suggest?

【听前预测】由选项中的She，car，concert，underground等推测，本题可能考查女士对去听音乐会的交通工具的建议。

【解 析】选[C]。根据女士的话but haven’ t you thought of the subway? 可知，女士提议乘地铁去听音乐会。subway与underground都指地铁，属于同义转述，故答案为[C]。

Now you will hear the two long conversations.

Conversation One

【听前预测】选项中的too much noise，aren’t enough cabinets，office，Jack等表明，对话很 可能与抱怨办公室环境有关，涉及Jack的情况。 W: Stan, do you have a minute? M: Oh, hi, Cathy. Sure. What’s up?

W: Well, I’ve been meaning to talk to you about the situation in the office. M: I’m not in there very often. It’s so noisy that I can’t work...

W: That’s exactly what I’m getting at. We’re supposed to be able to do our preparation and

marking in that office, but have you noticed? Jack constantly has students coming in to get help with his course. A lot of people are going in and out. M: Has anybody spoken to him about it?

W: No, not yet, but someone’s going to have to.

M: We can’t really ask him to stop having students come in for help, can we?

W: No, of course not. But I’m not able to do my work and neither are you. I imagine it’s the same for the others in the office.

M: Hmmm, could we ask for a kind of meeting room? When the teachers have to talk with a student, they could go to the meeting room and not use the office. You know, there’s a room down the hall, a rather small room that we could ask to use. It’s only for storing supplies. W: You mean that little storage room? Oh, that would be too small.

M: Are you sure? With the cabinets taken out, it might be bigger than it looks.

W: Come to think of it, you may be on to something. I’d like to have a look at that room. Can we go there now?

Questions 19 to 22 are based on the conversation you have just heard. 19. What problem at the office are Cathy and Stan discussing?

【解析】选[A]。选中的noise，aren’t enough cabinets等表明，本题可能考查办公室的设施或环境中存在的问题。对话中男士先提到It’s so noisy that I can’t work，女士接着说That’s exactly what I’m getting at，然后二人就此问题展开了讨论，故答案为[A]。 【点睛】get at意为“了解，知悉”。

20. Why do Jack’s students come to see him?

【解析】选[B]。选项均以To+do开头表明，本题考查做某事的目的或原因。对话中女士提到Jack constantly has students coming in to get help with his course，由此可知，杰克的学生过来是为了寻求课程方面的帮助，故答案为[B]。

21. What does Stan suggest they do?

【解析】选[B]。选项均以原形动词开头表明，本题可能考查观点建议。[A]、[B]、[D]都与房间有关，[C]与其他选项关系不大，故可初步排除。男士提到的could we ask for a kind of meeting room? … they could go to the meeting room and not use the office表明，男士建议他们找一个专门用作会面的房间，不要占用办公室，答案为[B]。

22. What does Cathy say about Stan’s suggestion?

【解析】选[C]。选项中的should，thinks，wouldn’t like等表明，本题可能考查对某事的观点 看法。对话最后女士提到you may be on to something. I’d like to have a look at that room，由此 可知，女士觉得男士的建议可能有效，故答案为[C]。

M: Well, to be honest, Carla, I was feeling great on Saturday, but I started to feel sick on Sunday afternoon. I thought I’d get better, but I feel worse than before. And I’m even really worse because I’m scheduled to have a presentation at work on Friday. W: Well, what seems to be the problem?

M: Well, I thought I had a flu, but the doctor said it was just a bad cold. He gave me some cold

medicine to take care of my stuffy nose and fever. I’m supposed to take the medicine three times a day after eating, but it doesn’t seem to help. He also told me to stay off my feet for a day or so, but I’m so busy these days.

W: Listen, forget about that medicine! I have just the thing to get rid of bad colds. You see, my mom is really into herbal medicine. M: Oh, no, thanks.

W: Ah, come on! Give it a try. You just take some of my mom’s herbal tea and drink it four times a day. Believe me. You’ll be up and dancing around in no time.

M: Dancing around in no time, right? Well, I guess, nothing else seems to be doing the job. W: Great. I’ll come by your place at 7:30. See you then.

Questions 23 to 25 are based on the conversation you have just heard. 23. What’s the matter with the man? 【解析】选[A]。选项表明，本题考查男士具体的病情。由男士提到的but the doctor said it was just a bad cold可知，男士患了重感冒，故答案为[A]。

Section B

Passage One

【听前预测】由选项中的her house，The speaker’s mother，family members等可知，短文可能与说话者的母亲和其他家庭成员有关。 All her life, my mother wanted busy children. It was very important that her house should remain at all times clean and tidy.

You could turn your back for a moment in my mother’s house, leave a half-written letter on the dining room table, a magazine open on the chair, and turn around to find my mother had “put it back where it belonged”, as she explained.

My wife, on one of her first visits to my mother’s house, placed a packet of biscuits on an end table and went to the kitchen to fetch a drink. When she returned, she found the packet had been removed. Confused, she set down her drink and went back to the kitchen for more biscuits only to return to find that her drink had disappeared. Up to then she had guessed that everyone in my family held onto their drinks, so as not to make water rings on the end table. Now she knows better.

These disappearances had a confusing effect on our family. We were all inclined to forgetfulness, and it was common for one of us, upon returning from the bathroom, to find that every sign of his work in progress had disappeared suddenly. “Do you remember what I was doing?” was a question frequently asked, but rarely answered.

Now my sister has developed a second-hand love of clean windows, and my brother does the cleaning in his house, perhaps to avoid having to be the one to lift his feet. I try not to think about it too much, but I have at this later time started to dust the furniture once a week. Questions 26 to 28 are based on the passage you have just heard. 26. Which is true about the speaker’s mother?

【解析】选[D]。选项中的She，enjoyed，forgetful，preferred to 等表明，本题考查She的特点。根据短文中提到的my mother...It was very important...her house...remain at all times clean and tidy 可知，母亲总是希望屋里干净整洁，故答案为[D]，其中in good order意为“整齐，井然有序”。

【点睛】选项中的She指代的是说话者的母亲。短文中出现了说话者的妻子，听音时注意区分。

27. Why couldn’t the speaker’s wife find her biscuits and drink in his mother’s house?

【解析】选[B]。短文中讲述了说话者的妻子在母亲家的一次经历。说话者的母亲因为太爱干净，不喜欢东西到处乱放，所以当某件东西放在不合适的位置时，就会被母亲拿走，故答案为[B]。

【点睛】短文中以妻子在母亲家的一次经历为例说明母亲是一个特别爱干净的人。 28. What does the passage mainly tell us?

【解析】选[C]。短文最后提到，由于母亲的以身作则，现在我们几个兄弟姐妹都特别爱干净，养成了良好的生活习惯，故答案为[C]。

Passage Two

Water from oceans and lakes，Energy 【听前预测】选项中的atmosphere surrounding the Earth，from the Sun，Greenhouse gases 及forest等表明，短文与太阳能及其对地球环境影响有关。 We experience different forms of the Sun’s energy every day. We can see its light and feel its warmth. The Sun is the major source of energy for our planet. It causes the evaporation of water from the oceans and lakes. Sunlight also provides the energy used by green plants to make their own food. These green plants then provide food for all organisms on the Earth.

Much of the energy that comes from the Sun never reaches the Earth’s surface. It is either reflected or absorbed by the gases in the upper atmosphere. Of the energy that reaches the lower atmosphere, 30% is reflected by clouds or the Earth’s surface. The remaining 70% warms the surface of the planet, causes water to evaporate, and provides energy for the water cycle and weather. Only a tiny part, approximately 0.023%, is actually used by green plants to produce food.

Many gases found in the atmosphere actually reflect heat energy escaping from the Earth’s surface back to the Earth. These gases act like the glass of a greenhouse in that they allow energy from the Sun to enter but prevent energy from leaving. They are therefore called greenhouse gases.

When sunlight strikes an object, some of the energy is absorbed and some is reflected. The amount reflected depends on the surface. For example, you’ve probably noticed how bright snow is when sunlight falls on it. Snow reflects most of the energy from the Sun, so it contributes to the low temperatures of winter. Dark-colored surfaces, such as dark soil or forest, absorb more energy and help warm the surrounding air.

Questions 29 to 31 are based on the passage you have just heard.

29. What is the root cause for weather changes on the Earth according to the passage?

【解析】选[C]。问题询问什么是使地球天气变化的根本原因。短文主要讲的是太阳对地球的影响：When sunlight strikes an object, some of the energy is absorbed and some is reflected，接着举出冬天的雪反射阳光使温度降低，天气变冷，故答案为[C]。 【点睛】听力题选择答案时有时也可根据常理判断。

30. Why does only a small part of the Sun’s energy reach the Earth’s surface?

reflected，absorbed，used to evaporate【解析】选[A]。由选项中重复出现的Most of it is及lost，

及atmosphere等可推断，it 指代energy from the sun，故本题很可能考查太阳射向地球的大部分能量受大气层的影响而无法到达地球表面的原因。短文中提到It is either reflected or absorbed by the gases in the upper atmosphere. Of the energy that reaches the lower atmosphere, 30% is reflected by clouds or the Earth’s surface，也就是说太阳的能量被上层大气反射或吸收，当剩下的能量穿过低大气层时，有30%的能量被云或地球表面反射出去，最后只剩下一小部分到达地面，故答案为[A]。

【点睛】选项中的it指的是energy from the sun。注意短文给出的数字对选择答案起关键作用。31. What do we learn from the passage?

【解析】选[B]。短文中提到Sunlight also provides the energy used by green plants to make their own food. These green plants then provide food for all organisms on the Earth，其中all organisms on the Earth表明地球上的所有生物都要依靠太阳来提供食物，故答案为[B]。

Passage Three

【听前预测】预览四道题各选项，结合32题和35题中多次出现的photograph可推知，短文可能与照片有关。 When I was walking down the street the other day, I happened to notice a small brown leather wallet lying on the sidewalk. I picked it up and opened it to see if I could find out the owner’s name.

There was nothing inside it except some change and an old photograph — a picture of a woman and a young girl about twelve years old, who looked like the woman’s daughter. I put the photograph back and took the wallet to the police station. That evening I went to have dinner with my aunt and uncle. They had also invited a young woman so that there would be four people at the table. Her face was familiar. I was quite sure that we had not met before, but I couldn’t remember where I had seen her. In the course of the conversation, however, the young woman happened to mention that she had lost her wallet that afternoon. All at once I realized where I had seen her. She was the young girl in the photograph, although she was now much older. She was very surprised, of course, when I was able to describe her wallet to her. Then I explained that I had recognized her from the photograph I had found in the wallet. My uncle insisted on going to the police station immediately to claim the wallet. As the police sergeant handed it over, he said that it was amazing that I had not only found the wallet, but also the person who had lost it.

Questions 32 to 35 are based on the passage you have just heard. 32. Why did the speaker open the wallet? 【解析】选[B]。选项中重复出现的He wanted to表明，本题可能考查He做某事的原因或目的。find some money和inside it表明，it可能是指钱包，本题可能考查He打开钱包的原因或目的。短文中提到...to see if I could find out the owner’s name，即说话人打开钱包是想看看自己能否能找到失主的名字，故答案为[B]。 33. What did the speaker do with the wallet?

【解析】选[D]。预览选项可知，本题考查He对it的处理方法。由短文中提到的...took the wallet to the police station可知，答案为[D]。

【点睛】听到police station不难选出答案。

34. When did the speaker find the owner of the wallet?

【解析】选[A]。预览选项可知，本题考查时间。短文中提到说话人与自己的叔叔、婶婶及他们邀请的另一位年轻女士共进晚餐时，年轻女士恰好谈到丢钱包一事，而说话人也突然认出她正是自己捡到的钱包里照片上的小女孩，故答案为[A]。 35. Who was the owner of the wallet?

【解析】选[D]。预览选项可知，本题考查人物身份。由短文中提到的She was the young girl in the photograph可知，失主正是钱包里相片上的小女孩，故答案为[D]。

Section C

36.【解析】motivates。分析句子结构可知，本空位于find out后的宾语从句中，充当该宾语从句的谓语。宾语从句的主语为what且整个句子的时态为一般现在时，故所填动词为第三人称单数形式的动词。
