【答案解析】[听力原文]
Part Ⅰ
House and Home
"House" and "home" are two words that have similar meanings. /"House" and "home" both refer to places where people live. /However, there is a difference between them. /"Home" is often referred to as the place that we live in with our families. /Sadly, in our society, /people can hardly distinguish a home from a house/because they often see no difference between them. /This confusion can be traced back to the indifference between family members. /Therefore, we can say that love is an important factor in a home. /A home is a shelter, /not only for our bodies but also for our minds. /Whenever we are depressed, /we can go home for comfort. /Everyone in the family will do his best to take care of each other and share their happiness as well as sorrow. /Without love, /a home is merely a house where loneliness is all that can be found./
[解析] 这篇听写难度适中,句子不是很长,句子结构比较容易把握。因此,需要很好地理解其中心内容:“房子”和“家”两个概念的本质区别——“家”强调家庭成员之间的感情交流和情感投入;而若没有情感的体现,“房子”只是混凝土或其他材质筑起的建筑物或商品而已。此外,本文中的indifference(漠不关心,不重视)是个重点词,快速理解并把握其词义可以帮助考生尽快掌握文章的核心内容。而love,depressed(沮丧的),comfort(舒适),loneliness(孤独)等词都对理解本文中心内容、掌握句子的顺畅连贯起着重要作用。
