【答案解析】[听力原文] M: Please take me to the Beijing Hotel quickly, or I' 11 miss the business. W: I don’t know, but I' 11 try. With traffic so heavy it will take at least forty more. Q: What do we learn from the conversation? [试题分析]本题考查推理判断能力。 [关键词语]traffic,heavy,take at least forty more [详细解答]男士说:请赶快带我到北京饭店,不然我要误了那桩生意。女士说:我不知道,但我尽量吧。现在交通如此拥挤,至少还要四十分钟。问题是:我们从对话中了解到什么?A、B项说得太具体,在交通拥挤的情况下是难以准确估计时间的。c项说得过于肯定;不合实情。所以只有D,女士认为不可能开得快。
【正确答案】
B
【答案解析】[听力原文] M: Why do you always ask us to put on slippers when we go into your apartment? W: It saves wear and tear on the carpet. Q: Why does the woman ask them to wear slippers? [试题分析]本题考查理解词语隐含意义的能力。 [关键词语]It saves wear and tear 0n the carpet. [详细解答]从选项看,问题涉及到某一行为的目的。男士问:我们进你的公寓时你为什么要我们穿拖鞋。女士说:免得磨坏和划破地毯。这里难以理解的是女士的话:“It saves weal”and tear on the carpet“通常所记得save的意思是“省,救”,这是难处之一。难处之二是对wear和tear意思的把握,wear除有“穿,戴”的意思外,还有“磨损”的意思;tear除有“撕”的意思外,还有“撕破的口子”的意思。因此选B最合题意。

Q: What does the man imply about Allan? [试题分析]本题考查对隐含意义的理解。 [关键词语]I’ve never seen him review his lesson. [详细解答]从选项看,话题与某男士聪不聪明,考试成绩好坏有关。女士说:阿伦各门功课成绩都是全班最高的,除了体育课之外。男的说,对他来说,这是很简单的事,我从没有见过他复习功课。从男士的话来看,他认为Allan很聪明,故选C。

W: You know,I didn’t enter my house until I found my key at 11 o' clock last night, so I didn’t have enough time to preview my lessons. Q: Why did the woman feel nervous? [试题分析]本题考查对辨听明示信息的能力。 [关键词语]didn’t have enough time to preview lessons [详细解答]从选项看,话题与女士有关。男士说:一般来说,你很少显得很紧张,怎么刚才教授一点名你就那么紧张?女士说:我昨晚ll点钟才进家门,所以没有足够的时间预习。从女士的话中可以感觉到她准备不充分。故选C最合适。

Q: When will Asimov’s book be published? [试题分析]本题考查推算能力。 [关键词语]March,July,September [详细解答]从选项看,问题涉及到时间,具体说是某个月份或季节。女士说:三月份听说,著名的科幻小说作家艾萨克·阿斯莫夫的新书将于七月出版。男士说:我们可能要到九月份才能在图书馆见到。可见三月是听说的时间,九月是图书馆见到的时间,winter通常指十二月、一月和二月,这都不是问题问到的出版时间,只有七月(July)才是出版时间,故选A。

[试题分析]本题考查对关键词的理解。 [关键词语]a family heirloom [详细解答]从选项看,话题涉及某件东西。从男士的问话中我们得知是一本rare book(珍本书),且男士以前从未见过。女士说:上周才拆封,这书是我家的传家宝。传家宝自然就可推出在家里放了很长时间,故选A。其它选项均与会话内容不相符,应予排除。

【答案解析】[听力原文] W: Did you make your furniture, it’s very elegant. M: I couldn’t have done all this carpentering, I had it made. Q: How did the man get this furniture? [试题分析]本题考查辨听半明示信息的能力。 [关键词语]I had it made [详细解答]从选项看,问题可能是男士如何制出了某物。从男士的回答中可找到答案。他说:我干不了所有的木工活,我是请人做的(I had it made).因此我们选B,其它项不合会话内容。这里“I had it made’听起来可能不容易反应过来。考试中常出现这类题,要听出话中之话就要格外细心。
【正确答案】
D

[试题分析]本题考查推理概括的能力。 [关键词语]Neighbourhood convenience store was held up last night [详细解答]从选项看,可能是某处发生了什么。从女士的问话中得知neighborhood convenience store(邻里便民店)出了事。出了什么事一下子难以判断清楚,问题在“was held up'’上。“hold up'’有抢劫的意思。从会话的内容中听不出A、B、C三项所述内容,所以都应排除。D所述内容正好与“was held up'’的意思相符,故选D。
【正确答案】
C
