单选题 Passage One
Questions 26 to 28 are based on the passage you have just heard.
单选题 A. They have to take a lot of courses.
B. They don't need to go to labs.
C. They take a very light class load.
D. They have much free time for independent study.
【正确答案】 A
【答案解析】[解析] 26-28
I will let you know that there's a big difference between undergraduate and graduate school. Undergraduate school is very course-intensive. That's all you do: go to classes and go to labs. In graduate school, you have a lot of free time. Much of your learning is self-initiated, and you're typically taking a much lighter class load. This gives you more time for independent study and research. While you're in graduate school, you're going to have to develop yourself as a scientist. You do this by performing creative and thorough research and developing a reputation for being a good scientist. You'll also be developing your speaking skills. You have to be comfortable in presenting your results and your research to very critical audiences. That's very important. You also want to attend conferences where you can associate with your peers and groups from other universities, because these will eventually be your colleagues at some point. Also, it's important to attend seminars that your university has. Not only does this keep you informed of what is the latest and greatest in your areas, but also lets you hear about other unrelated areas as well. You can't be so focused; you have to have a broad base of knowledge.

单选题 A. The degree they disrupt the computer. B. The way they reproduce and spread.
C. The space they occupy on the Internet. D. The target they mainly attack.
【正确答案】 B
【答案解析】[解析] 29-31
What is the difference between a computer virus and a computer worm? Both can infect and damage computer systems. However, computer viruses and computer worms differ in the way they reproduce and spread. A virus, which is short for "vital information resources under siege", is a program or code that secretly enters a computer by piggybacking on e-mail messages, files, or programs shared between two different computer systems. Then the virus infects its new host by attaching itself to the files within that computer and deleting or changing them or even over-writing entire programs. Just like a biological virus in the human body, a computer virus replicates itself so that it will continue to be contagious when data is shared with another computer system. In 2000, for example, the famous "Love Bug" virus, which traveled via e-mail messages, destroyed files in computers all over the world. Worms, too, are malicious programs that reproduce and spread. But unlike viruses, they do not need to attach themselves to other files. They are programs that run independently and spread on their own through computer networks. Thus they do not require human intervention to make their way from one computer to another. The famous Internet worm of 1988, for example, copied itself across the Internet, destroying many computer systems as it went. Currently, computer analysts are worried about the Sasser worm, which disabled computers in Britain, South Africa, and Taiwan.
29.In what aspect do computer viruses and computer worms differ?

[解析] 选项中的The degree they disrupt,The way they reproduce,The space they occupy等表明,本题可能与鉴别they的标准有关,听音时注意they指代什么。短文开头提到,However,computer viruses and computer worms differ in the way they reproduce and spread,由此可知,答案为[B]。
[点睛] However转折处为常考点,听音时应留意。
单选题 A. It first appeared in 1988. B. It traveled via e-mail messages.
C. It first broke out in Britain. D. It was meant to steal documents.
【正确答案】 B
【答案解析】[解析]
What can we learn about the "Love Bug" virus from the passage?

[解析] 选项中的It,first appeared/broke out,traveled via e-mail等表明,It可能指电脑病毒,本题可能考查它的产生或传播。短文中举例提到,在2000年,著名的“爱虫”病毒通过电子邮件传播(traveled via e-mail messages),破坏了世界各地电脑里的文件,由此可知,答案为[B]。
[点睛] for example举例处常设为考点,听音时应留意。
单选题 A. They don't damage computer systems.
B. They need to attach themselves to other files.
C. They could spread on their own through computer networks.
D. They replicate themselves when data is shared with another computer system.
【正确答案】 C
【答案解析】[解析]
Which of the following statements is true about computer worms?

[解析] 选项中的They,attach...to...files,spread on their own,replicate themselves等表明,本题可能与某种病毒的分裂及传播方式有关。短文中提到,电脑蠕虫同样是可以复制和传播的恶意程序,但是不像电脑病毒,它们不需要依附在其他文件上,它们是独立运作的程序并且依靠它们自身在电脑网络里进行传播(spread on their own through computer networks).由此可知,答案为[C]。
单选题 A. The components and functions of films.B. The standards used to value a film.
C. The whole process of movie-making. D. The future development of the movie industry.
【正确答案】 A
【答案解析】[解析] 32-35
A well-made film offers a whole world of things to watch. First, there are the story aspects—the plot, characters, dialogue and themes. Then there are the technical aspects—the camera work, cutting and special effects. And there are many other things, like the credits and musical score and the acting. A well-made film offers much more than you can see in one viewing. Films are a means of communication. They can tell you things, just as newspapers do, or television, or any other means of communication. Sometimes they communicate important things to you, like ideas or lifestyles or ways of looking at the world. Sometimes people are aware of this, and sometimes not. The more aware you are, the better. For example, notice the way films sometimes affect fashion. A star dresses or wears her hair in a certain way, and suddenly everyone is imitating her. Boys in the 1950s could sometimes be seen wearing black leather jackets, lounging on street corners and smoking cigarettes. They were imitating Marlon Brando. His films taught them a certain way to behave. Films can also teach politics. In Star Wars, the heroes were a bunch of lovable incompetents fighting with guns and not much else. They were, in fact, rather like the British in the early days of World War Ⅱ. Their enemies, like the Nazis, had a big advantage in equipment and numbers of troops, and they were like the Nazis in discipline and heartlessness too. The whole film, in fact, was a rerun of World War Ⅱ: and taught values like faith and love of liberty. Thus is all to the good, but the point is, did you notice it?
32.What is the passage mainly about?

[解析] 选项均为名词短语且概括性较强表明,本题可能考查短文的主题,再根据选项中重复出现的film,movie推断,短文主题可能与电影有关。短文开头就提到,一部好电影的组成包括story aspects,technical aspects等,接着讲述了电影的作用:它是一种交流方式,能够影响时尚,能够教人政治,由此可知,短文主要讲了电影的组成部分及作用,故答案为[A]。
[点睛] 短文的主旨要根据短文的主要内容进行推断。
单选题 A. Musical score. B. Clothing design.
C. Special effects. D. The credits.
【正确答案】 C
【答案解析】[解析]
Which of the following belongs to the technical aspects of a well-made film?
