【正确答案】 B

【答案解析】[听力原文] For most of their lives, the two men had shared confidences, swapped advice and sup ported each other's ambitions. The dozens of letters that Justice Blackmun saved document a relationship of sometimes startling intimacy. [分析] 事实细节的判断。 该题干中有三处主要细节需要与原文对应后判断是否正确，即：very intimate, reliable friends和throughout their lives。原文中startling intimacy可与very intimate对应，原文中...had shared confidences, swapped advice and supported each other's ambition可与reliable friends对应，而原文中most of their lives和题干中的throughout their lives并不吻合，因此该题的说法是错误的。 [解题关键] 将选项信息与原文相关信息对照，可得出正确答案。

【正确答案】 A

【答案解析】[听力原文] Tens of thousands of youngsters from low-income families who were eligible for a children's health insurance program in Florida, instead of being allowed into the program, were diverted by state officials to a long waiting list. [分析] 词义理解。 本题的关键是理解文中词组be eligible for的含义。该词组意为“适宜被选中的，有恰当资格的”，因此原文Tens of thousands of youngsters from low-income families who were eligible for a children's health insurance program in Florida意为“那些有资格享受佛罗里达州儿童健康保险项目的低收入家庭中的年轻人”与题干含义“佛罗里达州儿童健康保险项目旨在帮助低收人家庭中的孩子”相吻合，因此该题的说法是正确的。 [解题关键] 正确理解短语be eligible for(对于某事享有资格)。

【正确答案】 B

【答案解析】[听力原文] Although Iraq ultimately failed to develop and produce long-range ballistic missiles and its permitted short-range missile projects were fraught with problems, its missile program is seen by US decision makers as the main prohibited-weapon effort that Iraq continued right up until the war. [分析] 因果关系判断。 原文中谈到伊拉克导弹问题时，认为“...its missile program is seen by US decision makers as the main prohibited-weapon effort that Iraq continued right up until the war.”即“美国决策者认为伊拉克导弹项目是其禁武努力的主要目标，但伊拉克却将该项目一直进行到战争开始。”这与题干中的因果关系不相符，因此该题的说法是错误的。 [解题关键] 正确找寻并理解关键句子是解题的关键。

【正确答案】 A

【答案解析】[听力原文] Mr. Bush, the son of a president and the grandson of a senator, castigated Mr. Kerry as a Washington insider who has been in Congress so long that he has taken both sides on just about every issue. [分析] 特定信息的找寻和判断。 根据题干中的关键词Mr. Kerry，排除原文有关Mr. Bush内容的干扰，重点理解原文后半句内容“Mr. Kerry...has taken both sides on just about every issue.”即“Mr. Kerry在每件事情上都颇受两方的好评。”这与题干中has never let anybody down即“不让任何人失望”的说法相吻合，因此该题的说法是正确的。 [解题关键] 同义词替换。原文中take both sides与选项中never let anybody down意思相同。

【正确答案】 B

【答案解析】[听力原文] If Darwinian theory works so well, why challenge it? There are several reasons to do so. Although Darwinian theory explains many of the facts of evolution better than any other theory, it does not necessarily explain the whole process. Also, some of the results of evolution do not match what Darwinian theory would predict. [分析] 事实细节的判断。 题干中所提供的事实细节在程度和精确度上与原文不相符。如题干中说到“达尔文理论未对进化过程作出解释”，而原文的说法则是“Although Darwinian theory explains many of the facts of evolution..., it does not necessarily explain the whole process.”即“虽然达尔文理论对进化的许多事实进行了解释，但它并未对进化过程进行解释。”又如题干中说到“达尔文理论未对进化的结果作出正确的预测”，而原文则是“some of the results of evolution do not match what Darwinian theory would predict”即“一些进化结果与达尔文理论的预测并不相符”。由此可见，该题的说法是错误的。 [解题关键] 将原文和选项中表程度的词相对比，可发现不同之处。
