单选题
【正确答案】 C
【答案解析】[听力原文]32-35
A few months ago, [32]a team of interviewers were sent to schools to find out why children are prejudiced against science. Their answer provided this surprising picture of a typical scientist: they thought [33]a scientist is a rather dull person who spends all day working in a laboratory, wearing a white coat and making things that smell bad. They thought that scientists usually aren't very interesting and don't talk about anything but science. They don't play games well and they aren't attractive to the opposite sex. They also did not realize that women are as capable of becoming scientists as men.
On the other hand, [34]an art graduate is seen as a much livelier person. Arts graduates are thought to have a better sense of humor, to be interested in sports and pop music and to be considered attractive. When you understand these misconceptions which children have, it is only logical that most of them want to study arts rather than science.
32.According to the passage,who is interviewed?

[解析] 本篇所有题目选项中,重复比较多的问右“science”“arts”等,可初步判断本篇是有关科学和艺术两门学科的。本题询问谁被采访了。录音开头就提到“要找出为什么孩子们对科学抱有偏见”,可判断选项C(孩子)正确。
[点睛] 选项A(科学家)、B(艺术类学生)、D(妇女)为孩子们受访时提到的内容,不是受访者,均可排除;
【正确答案】 D
【答案解析】[听力原文]
In the description of“typical scientist”,which orle of the following is NOT mentioned?

[解析] 题目询问哪一个不属于刘“典型的科学家形象”的描述。选项A(整天待在实验室工作)、B (除了科学什么也不谈)和C(不会玩游戏,对异性没有吸引力)在文中都有提及,只有选项D(不缺乏幽默感)没有捉到,故为正确答案。
[点睛] 孩子们不喜欢科学,在谈及原因时提到了科学家,所以可以知道在他们的眼里科学家的形象是负面的。这样可以确定正面描述的选项D正确。
【正确答案】 A
【答案解析】[听力原文]
What is an art graduate pictured as?

[解析] 题目向问艺术类毕业生被描绘成什么样子。关键是听到“艺术类学生被认为有较好的幽默感,对体育和流行音乐有兴趣,被认为有吸引力”,可判断选项A(有吸引力)为正确选项。
[点睛] 此题询问文章包含的一个主要观点。四个选项在文中都出现了,但他们修饰的对象不同,选项B (无聊)和C(无吸引力)出现在文章前半部分,谈的是科学家的形象。选项D(有逻辑的)出现在文章最后,是文章的结论句,谈的不是艺术类学生的形象,这三项都可排除。
【正确答案】 B
【答案解析】[听力原文]
According to the author, why kids want to study arts rather than science?

[解析] 题目询问文章认为孩子们为什么要学习艺术而不是科学。此题考查对细节的记忆和整体的理解。文章前半部分谈论科学家的负面形象,后半部分谈论艺术家的正面形象,最后得出结论孩子们要学习艺术而不是科学,而且文中说到“these misconceptions which children have”,这样可推导出选项B(他们对科学有误解)正确。
[点睛] 选项A(学艺术可以挣更多钱)文中未提及,也可排除选项C(学习科学更困难)和D(学习艺术更有趣),因为文章只说了艺术家和科学家的形象,井未提及艺术和科学是否难学。
