Q: What does the man want to do？ 问: 男士想要做什么？ 听前预测: (1 )四项均为动词短语。 (2) 三项含有表示体育运动的词（play basketball，baseball team，cycling race） 结论: 本题考查的内容可能与某人参加体育运动有关 解析: 在对话的开头，男士告诉女士，公司打算组织篮球队，自己想要参加，A项是对这一内容的同义转述，故为正确答案。B项为干扰项，考生很容易将 baseball 看成basketball 而错选。C项错在 cycling race，D项错在 TV play，对话中并未提及二者，故也应排除。考生在浏览选项时必须非常细心，尽量避免因一词之差而造成的错误。 \n简答题\n question 18 A、It provides a chance for people to think deeply. B、It makes us treasure the time. C、It enables one to identify true friends. D、It helps us take care of problems more efficiently. What is an advantage of spending one's time alone? 讲话中提到，独处也能让你更有效地处理问题。由此可知D项为正确答案。其他三项讲话中并未提及，故均排除。 \n简答题\n Question 20 A、 Report their illnesses. B、 Offer blood samples. C、 Act as research assistants. D、 Help to interview patients. What are the volunteers asked to do in the research? 讲话中提到,这些志愿者都年满65岁,但他们的身体状况良好,他们到大学里来给我们提供血样,接受采访,帮助我们进行一系列的研究。因此,选项B为正确选项。选项D与讲话内容相反,志愿者们是接受采访而不是去采访别人。选项A、C原文均未提到,可排除。 \n多选题\n Question 3 A、Cars will not be allowed to enter the city. B、About half of its city center will be closed to cars. C、Buses will be the only vehicles allowed on its streets, D、Pedestrians will have free access to the city. 听前预测： 利用播放答题导语的时间,快速浏览每道题的四个选项。由选项中的关键词Cars、 city center、vehicles、 streets、 air pollution和 Paris等可知,本则新闻很可能是关于汽车与空气污染的相关报道，且涉及巴黎的街道,听音时应侧重这些方面。 ［3］Almost half the center of Paris will be accessible only by foot or bicycle this Sunday to mark World Car-Free Day. ［4］This is in response to rising air pollution that made Paris the most polluted city in the world for a brief time. Mayor Anne Hidalgo promoted the first World Car-Free Day last year. Hidalgo also has supported a “Paris Breathes” day. On the first Sunday of every month, Paris clears traffic from eight lanes of the main road. About 400 miles of streets will be closed to cars. It is expected to bring significant reduction in pollution levels. Last year’s car-free day showed a 40％ drop in pollution levels in some parts of the city, according to an independent air pollution monitor, reports The Guardian, and sound levels dropped by 50％ in the city’s center. Question 3 What will happen on World Car- Free Day in Paris? 新闻开头提到,本周日,为了纪念世界无车日,巴黎市中心近一半地区将只能步行或骑自行车进入。新闻后面对类似举措（巴黎呼吸日)进行了详细描述：每个月的第一个周日,巴黎都会疏散主干道八个车道上的车辆,大约400英里的街道将禁止汽车通行。因此,选项B的说法与新闻内容一致,故为正确答案。世界无车日,只有市中心近一半地区禁止汽车通行,而非整个城市,选项A错误。其余两项新闻并未提及,也可排除。 \n多选题\n Question 3 A、To end the one-child policy. B、To encourage late marriage. C、To increase working efficiency. D、To give people more time to travel. 听前预测：利用播放答题导语的时间,快速浏览每道题的四个选项。由选项关键词one-child policy、late marriage、 early marriage等可知本则新闻很可能是关于政策变化的,且涉及结婚早晚,听音时应侧重这些方面。 On the first of January, new regulations will come into effect which eliminate an annual leave bonus for people who put off marrying until the age of 23 for women and25 for men, the South China Morning Post reports. ［3］ The holiday bonus was designed to encourage young people to delay getting married in line with China‘s one child policy. But with that policy now being abolished, this holiday incentive is no longer necessary, the government says. In Shanghai, a young couple at a marriage registration office told the paper that they decided to register their marriage as soon as possible to take advantage of the existing policy because an extra holiday was a big deal for them. In Beijing, one registration office had about3 00 couples seeking to get married the day after the changes were announced, rather than the usual number of between 70 and 80.［4］ But one lawyer tells the paper that the changes still have to be adopted by local governments and these procedures take time. So people who are rushing to register for marriage can relax. Question 3 What was the purpose of the annual leave bonus in China? 新闻开头首先说晚婚假将会被取消,实行新法规。然后新闻接着说这种假期福利旨在鼓励年轻人晚婚,以契合中国的独生子女政策。因此,选项B符合新闻内容,为正确答案。 \n简答题\n Question 15 A、 She' d like him to talk with Jonathan about a new project, B、 She wants him to share his renovation experience with her. C、 She wants to discuss the house decoration budget with him. D、 She' d like to show him around her newly- renovated house. Why does the woman invite the man to her house next week? 女士在对话中说将要对自己家的客厅进行翻新,所以邀请男士去她家,向他请教有关装修的问题,希望从男士的装修经验中得到一些启发,故答案为。通过这句话还可以得知,女士家的房子还未翻新,故排除D。A和C两项在对话中均未提及,故可排除。 \n多选题\n Question 18 A、Writers of his time had no means to protect their works. B、Possible sources of clues about him were lost in a fire. C、His works were adapted beyond recognition. D、People of his time had little interest in him. Q: Why does the speaker say parts of Shakespeare's life will remain a mystery? 详解：短文结尾处提到1666年伦敦的一场大火把很多重要文件烧毁了，而这些本来可能是了解莎士比亚的重要线索，因此莎士比亚的部分生活将永远不为人所知，故答案为B。 \n多选题\n Question 23 A、26. B、116. C、126. D、162. Q: How many students were surveyed in the lectures? 问: 物理课上多少学生接受了调査? 解题思路: 四项均为数字，故可知本题考查与数字有关的问题。听音时,需重点关注文中出现的数字并将其对应的内容记录下来，然后再根据问题做出进一步的判断。 解析: 本题是细节题。文中提到,斯沃斯莫尔学院的物理学家埃米・巴格所在的研究团队培训了四名“演员”一两名男演员，两名女演员，让他们分别给物理专业的学生上10分钟的物理课，然后对这126名学生进行了调查。故本题选C。 \n多选题\n Question 5 A、To offer skilled women workers higher wages. B、To offer women more opportunities for college. C、To achieve equality in economic opportunity. D、To target the companies without equal pay for both genders. Q: Why are American large businesses required to report their wage payment？ 做题提示: 四个选项均为不定式短语，可判断题目中可能会问到目的；听音时应特别留意某人（机构）做某事的目的。听到问题后立刻回忆所听新闻内容，结合选项作答。 解析: 新闻中提到，美国政府将要求大型企业上报男女员工的薪酬情况，以便找出那些没有向男女员工支付平等工资的公司，故正确答案为D。 \n多选题\n Question 16 A、Providing routine care for small children. B、Paying hospital bills for emergency cases. C、Doing research on ear, nose and throat diseases. D、Removing objects from patients' noses and ears. 听前预测：快速浏览本部分的所有选项,由其中的关键词 small、 children、 hospital、ear、nose和 Removing objects可大致推断,该听力文章很可能讲的是与儿童安全和物品有关的内容,因此在听录音时需要重点关注与之相关的信息。 Removing foreign objects from ears and noses costs England almost 3 million pounds a year, a study suggests. Children were responsible for the vast majority of cases-95％ of objects removed from noses and 85％ from ears.. Every year, an average of 1,218 nose and 2,479 ear removals took place between 2010 and 20l6. According to England’s Hospital Episode Statistics,［17］children aged one to four were the most likely to need help from doctors for a foreign object in their nose. Five- to nine-year-olds come to the hospital with something in their ears the most. Jewelry items accounted for up to 40％ of cases in both the ears and noses of children. Paper and plastic toys were the items removed next most from noses. Cotton buds and pencils were also found in ears. ［18］ According to the study, the occurrence of foreign objects in children is generally attributed to curiosity. Children have an impulse to explore their noses and ears. This results in the accidental entry of foreign objects. Any ear, nose and throat surgeon has many weird stories about wonderful objects found in the noses and ears of children and adults. Batteries can pose a particular danger. In all cases, prevention is better than cure. This is why many toys contain warnings about small parts. Recognizing problems early and seeking medical attention is important. What does England spend an annual 3 million pounds on? 讲话开头提到,一项研究表明,从耳朵和鼻子里移除异物每年要花费英国近300万英镑,由此可知,选项D与原文内容一致,故为正确答案。其余三项讲话中并未提及,故排除。 \n简答题\n question 13 A、Send the furniture back to the store. B、Describe the furniture he received. C、Collect the furniture he ordered. D、Buy another brand of furniture. What did the woman ask the man to do? 本题考查女士让男士做什么。在对话中间部分，女士提出让男士描述一下送到他的公寓的椅子的特征，所以此题选B项。对话中，女士说将派一辆面包车把这四把椅子取走，然后用男士购买的米兰椅子进行替换，所以并非女士让男士把椅子送回店里，A项错误；也并非是男士自己把订购的家具取走，而是家具店上门取货，所以C项错误；也并非是让男士购买另外一个品牌的椅子，而是用他原来订购的椅子来替换送错的椅子，所以D项也错误。 \n多选题\n Question 4 A、Because fish mistake plastics for food and choke to death. B、Because eating plastics can cause intestinal blockage. C、Because fish are easily trapped in the plastic bottle. D、Because plastic can bio-degrade inside the fish. Q: Why do plastics lead to the starvation of fish? 做题提示: 四个选项均由 because 开头，可知本题以 why 提问；听音时应特别注意因果关系之处。听到问题后立刻回忆所听新闻内容，结合选项作答。 解析: 新闻中提到，塑料致鱼类死亡的原因有两个，一个是误食造成的窒息死亡，一个是误食致肠梗阻并使其最终饿死，结合问题中的关键词 starvation（饿死）可知，本题问的是第二个原因，故本题应选B。 \n多选题\n Question 21 A、It sends out signals for help. B、It sounds an alarm to warn the driver. C、It takes over the driving immediately. D、It stops the car automatically. 问: 当出现问题时，电脑系统会首先采取哪种措施? 解题思路: ① 四项均以 it 开头，为表示做出某种动作的句子。 ② 三项含有与开车有关的词汇 (driver; driving, car)。 ③ 两项含有表示发出信号的词汇 (signals, alarm)。 ④ 两项含有副词 (immediately, automatically)。 结论: it 可能指文中提到的电脑系统，本题可能考查这种电脑系统能够做什么。 解析: 题干问当出现问题的时候，电脑系统首先将会做的一件事是什么。短文结尾处提到，当士的时候，系统首先会发出警报，如果驾驶员忽视警报的话，系统将自动将车停下来。短文在开头处也提到了这一点。故应选B。 \n简答题\n qestion 3 A、To appeal for higher wages. B、To demand better health care. C、To call for a permanent security guard. D、To dismiss the bad-tempered supervisor. For what purpose did the staff at a supermarket in Melbourne sign a letter? 新闻开头提到，墨尔本郊区一家超市发生了一系列由顾客造成的人身攻击和言语辱骂事件，在这一系列事件发生后，超市的50多名员工签署了一封联名信，要求超市招聘一名固定保安。选项C的说法与新闻内容一致，故为正确答案。其余三项与新闻内容不符，故排除。 \n多选题\n Question 8 A、Colleagues. B、Instructor and student. C、Neighbors. D、Anchor and guest. Q: What is the most probable relationship between the man and woman? 问：男士与女士之间最可能是什么关系? 听前预测: 根据选项内容可推测，该题是对说话人之间关系的考查。听音时应重点关注四项中的内容，并对与身份、职业等相关的词多加留意。 解析: 对话一开始，男士就对女士表示欢迎，并接着说“让我们先从您自身该起吧”，然后问了女士几个问题，四个选项中只有D项“主持人和嘉宾”最符合二人之间的关系，故为正确答案。 \n简答题\n What would you expect ________ to gain from the orientation camp? A、senior B、freshman C、sophomore\n多选题\n Question 23 A、Registration forms. B、A library card. C、A list of classes. D、A campus map. 问: 讲话者建议听众们随身携带什么东西？ 解题思路: 四项均为名词短语，且这四项都是校园生活中常见的东西。应注意短文中的相关名词，讲话者可能会直接提到。 解析: 题干问讲话者建议大家要随身携带什么。讲话者在刚开始介绍时说道：“每个人都拿到了一份校园地图了吧？在最开始的几周大家要随身携带这份地图，至少要等你熟悉了校国的建筑和地标才行。”故选D。需要注意的是讲话者有时会向听众提出问题，并且有时会自问自答，这些地方都是重要的信息点，也往往是考点。 \n多选题\n Question 15 A、In any order they like. B、In groups at timed intervals. C、Bicycle club members first, then others. D、Racers first, then average cyclists. Q: In what order will the cyclists leave the starting line? 听前预测: ① 四项均含有与顺序有关的词（order, timed intervals, first...then） ② 四项均涉及多人（they, group, members, others, racers, cyclists） 结论: 本题很可能与参赛选手做某事的顺序有关。 详解: 在对话中主持人说道:“当自行车手们出发时，我可不想自已正好在路上”，也就是说大批一起出发的自行车会给普通人的交通带来不便，对此玛丽莲说道:“不用担心，我们引进了“交错出发（ stagger starts）＂的办法来避免这一问题，第一组会在7点钟离开渥太华，随后每20分钟出发一组。”可见答案应为B，即“按照固定的时间间隔分组出发”。 \n多选题\n Question 1 A、He set a record by swimming to and from an island. B、He celebrated his ninth birthday on a small island. C、He visited a prison located on a faraway island. D、He swam around an island near San Francisco. 听前预测：利用播放答题导语的时间,快速浏览每道题的四个选项。由选项关键词 set a record、 swimming、island、 San Francisco等可知,本则新闻很可能是关于创造游泳纪录的,且涉及岛屿和旧金山地区,听音时应侧重这些方面。 A nine-year-old central California boy braved strong currents and cold water to swim from San Francisco to Alcatraz Island and back. A California television station in Fresno reported Tuesday that James Savage set a record as the youngest swimmer to make the journey to the former prison. The TV station reported that by completing the swim the fourth-grade student from Los Banos broke a record previously held by a ten-year-old boy. James said that waves in the San Francisco Bay hitting him in the face 30 minutes into his swim made him want to give up. His father said he had offered his son 100 dollars as a reward. ［2］ To encourage his struggling son he doubled it to2o0 dollars. James pushed forward, making it to Alcatraz Island and back in a little more than two hours. Alcatraz is over a mile from the mainland. Question 1 What did the boy from central California do according to the report? 一位来自加利福尼亚中部地区的岁男孩勇敢地面对湍急的水流和冰冷的海水,在旧金山和阿尔卡特拉斯岛之间游了一个来回。由此可知,选项A符合报道所述,为正确答案。选项D的描述不符合新闻内容,男孩是在旧金山和阿尔卡特拉斯岛之间游了一个来回,而非绕着旧金山附近一座小岛游。 \n多选题\n Question 14 A、Play in a band. B、Work at the auction. C、Serve refreshments. D、Collect tickets. 问: 在展销会期间，这位女士会做些什么工作? 听前预测: 四项均为动词短语，应该与某人将要在展会上做的工作有关，需留意对话中与工作内容有关的信息。 解析: 题干问女士将在展销会期间做些什么。女士提到，周六下午她负责在茶点帐篷下为大家提供小零食。故选C。serve和 refreshments为关键词复现。 \n
