判断题
The US troops are going to draw back from Iraq within 4 months.
【正确答案】
B
【答案解析】[解析]
In a sharp setback for the White House, Senate Republicans failed to strike language from a massive emergency war spending bill which calls for the removal of US troops serving in Iraq to begin within 4 months.
[难点] 本题属于雷声大雨点小的类型。原文较为复杂,信息点也较多,但是题目却很简单。美军从伊拉克撤军之事尚在讨论中。如考生能听出这一点,或者对相关国际新闻有所关注,这道题并不难。
判断题
Gunmen killed about 50 people just to take a revenge on the bombing event in the Shiite area.
【正确答案】
A
【答案解析】[解析]
Iraqi officials say gunmen have killed about 50 people in a Sunni district in the northern town of Tal Afar in an apparently reprisal for truck bombings Tuesday in a Shiite area. Iraqi officials say Shiite policemen allegedly took part in a rampage.
[难点] 本题的关键词是“reprisal”,只要弄清楚它的意思是“报复”,和问题中所给出的信息“take a revenge on...”意思吻合,题目就迎刃而解了。答案卡上的问题是对原文的一个总结,只要能听懂原文的大概内容,这道题也不算难。
判断题
One month ago Lansana Kouyate was appointed as the new prime minister of Guinea by the president Lansana Conte on the television broadcast.
【正确答案】
B
【答案解析】[解析]
The President of Guinea Lansana Conte has named a new government a month after appointing a new prime minister to end a series of strikes which brought the country to a standstill for several weeks. President Come announced members of the new cabinet on a television broad- cast after consultations with the Prime Minister Lansana Kouyate.
[难点] 原文信息点较为杂乱。题目恰好利用这一点,把不相关的陈述拼凑起来。如果没有搞清楚其中的逻辑因果关系,就很容易出错。考生要弄清楚总统是通过电视广播宣布新内阁成员,而不是任命新首相。
判断题
Republicans are opposing to the emergency funding bill in the House of Representatives.
【正确答案】
A
【答案解析】[解析]
The vote is a significant victory for Democrats pushing for withdrawal of troops from Iraq. The House of Representatives has already passed a similar emergency funding bill, which also sets a time table for bringing soldiers home. Republicans were trying to strike similar language out of the legislation as it passed through the senate.
[难点] 本题把原文中的词语用同义词代替,以达到混淆考生的目的,如把“set a time table”换成“arrange a schedule”等。题目不难,只是把原文中的几点夹杂在一起阐明。但原文信息点较多,容易使考生如坠云里雾里。
判断题
Virginia lost to Tennessee while UNLV triumphed over the match against Wisconsin in the NBA tournament.
【正确答案】
B
【答案解析】[解析]
In the Men's College Basketball Tournament, UNLV beat Wisconsin yesterday in the Midwest Regional at Chicago. The score was 74-68. Oregon beat Winthrop 74-61. Tennessee advanced with a victory over Virginia while Virginia Tech lost to Southern Illinois.
[难点] 题目把听者的全部注意力转移到篮球队名和战况上,而后又把“Men's College Basketball Tourament”偷换成“NBA tournament”。考生稍不留神或粗心就会出错。
