【答案解析】[听力原文]
M: I need to find a dentist, you said you know Dr. Smith well, do you recommend her?
W: well, I had to see her a few times, but what impressed me most were the magazines in her waiting room.
Q: What does the woman imply?
[解析] 四个选项均涉及Dr. Smith的情况。由C)、D)猜测,应重点留意女士对Dr. Smith的评价。
本题为but转折题,but后的内容为听音重点:“给我印象最深的是候诊室里的杂志”可以推断出,她并未对Smith的医术印象深刻,暗含否定,故选D)。另外,A)、B)、C)都是针对对话中个别词设置的干扰项,可用“听到什么不选什么”的技巧排除。

W: I'm afraid I can't show you the apartment at the moment, because the tenant is still living in it. It's really a lovely place with a big kitchen and a sunny window, for only $200 a month.
M: Sounds good, but we really can't rent an apartment without seeing it first.
Q: What do we learn from the conversation?
[解析] 根据选项可知对话内容与公寓出租有关。所有选项都以The man作主语,故回答问题时应侧重男士所说的话。
本题为but转折题,重点听but后的内容,即“不先看房子,我们就不租”。选项中的look at...first对应文中的see...first,故选C)。
【正确答案】
B

M: So, that's what's been keeping you so busy recently!
W: Yes, I've been tied up with my studies. You know I'm planning to go to the United States this coming summer, but I'm a bit nervous about my English.
Q: What is the woman busy doing?
[解析] 所有选项都是-ing形式,表示正在做什么,且有物主代词her,故推断题目可能问“正做什么”。结合选项内容推断,对话内容很可能与出国和学英语有关。
本题关键在于听懂be tied up with,相当于be busy with。备考四六级,一些常用口语短语一定要掌握,B)中的brush up (on)就是常考短语,意为“复习”。
【正确答案】

W: How did you feel when you found out you had high blood pressure?
M: Shocked! The problem for me was that there were no symptoms; it seemed to have sneaked up on me.
Q: What does the man mean?
[解析] 选项均以He为主语,内容涉及疾病和症状,故可推测本题可能问男士的疾病情况,听音重点放在男士所说的内容上。
男士话中的几个关键词和短语:shocked“震惊的”,no symptoms“毫无症状”,sneaked up on me“偷偷袭击我”,表明在此之前他对自己的病症毫不知情,故选C)。D)中的take sth. seriously意为“拿……当回事儿”。
【正确答案】

W: So, you're just back from a trip to India. What were you doing there?
M: The trip was intended to bring to the world's attention the fact that AIDS is not just an African disease; it's also endangering other countries, notably, India and Thailand.
Q: What was the purpose of the man's trip to India?
[解析] 选项均是动词不定式短语,一般表示打算、目的等。根据选项内容可知对话与关注艾滋病活动有关。听音重点应是表示目的的短语,如in order to,so that等。
对话中男士说:“此行旨在让世人注意到如下事实,即……”。本题听音重点在was intended to后面的部分。bring sth. to attention对应选项中的draw attention to sth. ,故选D)。C)中rally意为“集合,召集”。

M: It's quite clear for my visit: this is a full size, comprehensive university. So why is it still called a college?
W: The College of William and Mary is the second oldest institution of higher learning in this country. We have nurtured great minds like Thomas Jefferson and we are proud of our name.
Q: What do we learn from this conversation about the College of William and Mary?
[解析] 所有选项均是it作主语,根据选项内容可推测it可能指某个机构。B)和C)内容相似,都是说这所学校是由私人创办的,根据真题命题规律“意思相近的两项很可能都不是答案”可先将这两项排除。
男士对一所综合性的大学被称为college感到不解,女士说明了原因,其中的the second oldest institution of higher learning in this country说明该学校历史悠久,故A)为答案。nurture“培养,培育”,D)是根据其近音词nature设计的干扰项。
【正确答案】
B

M: Have the parts we need for the photo copying machine arrived yet?
W: I ordered them last week, but something is holding them up.
Q: What does the woman say about the parts needed for the photo copying machine?
[解析] 所有选项都是关于They的内容,根据选项内容推断They很可能指被邮寄的机器部件。
but转折题型。but后的内容即是答案。hold sth. up意为“耽误”。若没听懂hold up的含义,则可以根据女士的转折语气推断出机器部件还没到货,因此选B)。
【正确答案】
A
【答案解析】[听力原文]
W: The cafeteria provided many kinds of dishes for us today. Did you notice that?
M: Yes, kind of rare, isn't it?
Q: What does the man imply?
[解析] 选项都与自助餐厅有关。听音时要注意选项中的关键词:variety“(食物)品种”,rare food“珍稀食品”,satisfactory,service。
女士对男士说食堂今天提供了许多不同种类的菜。男士回答说:Yes, kind of rare, isn't it?“这种情况太少见了”。由此可以推断,食堂平时提供的菜品种单一,故选A)。
