【正确答案】 B

【答案解析】[听力原文]1-10 M: What makes you study English so hard, Jenny? W: You know I'm planning to go to the United States this coming summer, if I'm lucky enough to be admitted to Miami University. I'm a bit nervous about my English, Dick. M: Your English is not bad. W: Thank you, but I'm afraid my pronunciation isn't accurate enough and that I might get confused. M: Don't worry about that. As an American, I understand you quite well. Besides, you've passed the Test of English as a Foreign Language. W: Yes, I have passed the TOEFL, but I still find the words very difficult. Sometimes I know every word in an expression, but I don't know what it implies. Honestly, I understand very little. M: Yes, it is complicated. Sometimes the sentence structure is awkward for Chinese-speaking people. W: You know, I'm embarrassed when people lose me in the middle of a conversation or vice versa. M: Relax, Jenny. You shouldn't torture yourself. Let's take a break. Shall we take a walk to the swimming pool? W: Swimming pool? What do you intend to go there for? M: To get some fresh air. You need a rest and so do your eyes. W: Oh, yes. My eyes get tired easily. Sometimes after I read too much, I can't see things at a distance. M: Have you checked with the doctor? You might be near-sighted. W: You know, I would hate to have to wear glasses. M: These days a lot of people wear contact lenses, but not me. Well, tell me more about your study. W: Er... it's funny. I mean I used to study English for entertainment because I didn't have a special hobby, like playing mahjong, to kill time. Now I have a particular purpose for it. M: So what's the problem? W: The tutor assigned me a bunch of homework. She wants me to memorize all the phrases and expressions. M: She simply wants you to practice them over and over again until they are fixed in your mind. W: Yeah. She said it is necessary to drill as much as possible and the more I apply it in real situations, the more natural it will become. Drill is boring! M: She is right. W: So, that's the problem. I need so much practice and I'm getting discouraged. M: Actually, the fastest way to reach your goal would be to have a record player or a tape recorder. W: Why all of that? M: Well, the records or tapes have native voices and you can study them by listening again and again and imitating the sounds as many times as you wish. W: That's a good idea. M: Besides, since English is not your native tongue, you must develop the muscles of your speech organs to produce unfamiliar sounds. When you read, read aloud. W: And the tutor also said that language is an instrument. People use it to express their ideas, thoughts, feelings, etc. and all these are determined by culture. When you understand the cultural background, you can better use the language. M: Yes, language is intimately tied to a man's feelings and activities. It is bound up with nationality, religion, and the feelings of self. W: She said it, too. M: She surely sounds like an expert. W: She is, I guess. She holds her master's degree in Education and now she is doing research for her dissertation for her doctorate degree. M: How marvelous! You're certainly lucky to have her as your tutor. W: I'm glad to hear you say that. 这是一篇关于英语学习的长对话。对于这种体裁的听力材料，细节题居多，考生关键是听懂和抓住对话中双方介绍情况的一些细节。在第一个话轮中女士即介绍自己今年夏天准备去美国，如果幸运的话可以上迈阿密大学(... this coming summer, ... to Miami University)，题句中的时间spring与此处不符。

【正确答案】 A

【答案解析】由对话第一个话轮中双方的称呼可知Dick就是男士，而在第三个话轮中男士第二句中说：As an American...，说明他是美国人，因此题句是正确的。

【正确答案】 B

【答案解析】在第五个话轮中，男士提议去游泳池(take a walk to the swimming pool)，而女士用反问句表示惊讶，并询问男士去的目的；在第六个话轮中男士则用省略句直接说明了自己想去那里的目的：To get some fresh air，即他并非要去游泳，而是要去呼吸新鲜空气，因此题句是错误的。

【正确答案】 A

【答案解析】本题对应的信息在对话第九个话轮中。其中男士询问女士有什么问题，女士回答说导师给她布置了一大堆作业：The tutor assigned me a bunch of homework，因此题句是正确的。

【正确答案】 B

【答案解析】在第十个话轮中女士的最后一个感叹句直接表明了她对练习的态度：Drill is boring(练习太无聊了)，即她不喜欢练习，因此题句是错误的。

【正确答案】 A

【答案解析】本题对应的信息在于第十四个话轮，其中男士的最后一句建议女士大声朗读：When you read， read aloud，因此题句是正确的。

【正确答案】 B

【答案解析】在第十四个话轮中，女士介绍了自己导师对语言的观点。其中第一句指出导师认为语言是一种工具(an instrument)，第二句则指出文化决定人们的语言表达(... determined by culture)，而最后一句又指出对文化背景的了解可使人更好地利用语言。由此可知导师认为语言是与文化有很大关系的，并非题句所说的“无关”(irrelevant)，因此题句不对。

【正确答案】 A

【答案解析】在第十五个话轮中男士第一句指出语言与人的情感、活动关系密切：language is intimately tied to a man's feelings and activities，题句只是与此表达上稍有不同，但意思是一致的，因此选True。

【正确答案】 B

【答案解析】在倒数第二个话轮中女士提到了导师的学历：She holds her master's degree in Education，与题句中的doctor不符，因此题句错误。

【正确答案】 A

【答案解析】倒数第二个话轮中男士认为女士的导师是个专家(She surely sounds like an expert)，他在最后一个话轮中又指出女士有这样的导师很幸运，并用marvelous感叹，说明他认为导师了不起，故题句正确。
