【正确答案】 D

【答案解析】[听力原文] Investment in the public sector, such as electricity, irrigation, quarrying, public services and transport increased by about 10%, although the emphasis moved to transport and away from the other sectors mentioned. Trade and services recorded a 16- 17% investment growth, including a 30% increase in investment in business premises. Industrial investment is estimated to have risen by 8%. [分析] 数字信息的辨别和比较。 根据原文数字信息的比较可知，以下各方面投资增长的分布情况：the public sector... about 10％，trade and services... 16-17％ (30％increase in investment in business premises)，industrial investment... 8％。这里注意business premises(商业性楼字)投资增长的30％是包含在贸易和服务业增长的16-17％内的。由此可知，D“投资额最大的是贸易和服务业”的说法与原文相符，是正确答案。 [解题关键] 把握与数字有关的短语表达是解题的关键。本题中30％是听到的最高投资增长额度，但注意该数目前的including短语的使用，说明该数是被包含在16-17％之中的。因此B项不是正确答案。

【正确答案】 D

【答案解析】[听力原文] There are exceptions to the rule of male insects being smaller than the females, and some of these exceptions are intelligible. Size and strength would be advantage to the males which fight for the possession of the females, and in these cases, as with the stag-beetle, the males are larger than the females. There are, however, other beetles which are not known to fight together, of which the males exceed the females in size. But in some of the other cases, as with the huge Dynastes and Megasoma, we can see that there would be no necessity for the males to be smaller in order to be matured before them, for these beetles are not short-lived. [分析] 特定信息的找寻和理解。 关于Dynastes和Megasoma两种昆虫，文中说these beetles are not short-lived，由此可见， D“长寿是两种昆虫的特点”与原文相符，是正确答案。 [解题关键] 能够利用信号词判断段落的脉络主线，可以有效帮助识别正确答案。如本题中原文第一句点明了全段中心There are exceptions to the rule of male insects being smaller than the females，即谈论雄性昆虫比雌性昆虫个头小这一规律有特例。然后根据某些短语如in these cases... There are，however，other beetles... But in some of the other cases... 等发出的信号，可判断文章基本结构是以三种昆虫的例子来说明中心，这样可迅速排除与原文中心意思不符的A和并非本文谈论中心的B和C。

【正确答案】 D

【答案解析】[听力原文] The world is going through the biggest wave of mergers and acquisitions ever witnessed. The process sweeps from hyperactive America to Europe and reaches the emerging countries with unsurpassed might. Many in these countries are looking at this process and worrying "won't the wave of business concentration turn into uncontrollable anticompetitive force?" [分析] 主旨题。 原文首句点明全段中心The world is going through the biggest wave of mergers and acquisitions ever witnessed，结尾句Won't the wave of business concentration turn into uncontrollable anti-competitive force?又对全段进行了概括。综合首尾句，可得出全文主旨，由此可见D项说全球商业发展趋势是商业机构相互兼并，更具有竞争力，与原文相符，是正确答案。 [解题关键] 正确识别段落的中心句。一般首句点明全段中心，结尾句概括段落主要内容。

【答案解析】[听力原文] Today in the techno-society there is an almost ironclad consensus about the future of freedom. Maximum individual choice is regarded as the democratic ideal. Yet most writers predict that we shall move further and further from this ideal. They conjured up a dark vision of the future, in which people appear as mindless consumer creatures, surrounded by standardized goods, educated in standardized schools, fed a diet of standardized mass culture, and forced to adopt standardized styles of life. Such predictions have spawned a generation of future haters and technophobes, as one might expect. [分析] 观点态度的判断。 题干要求判断作者对多数作家关于未来的预测所持的态度。根据原文Yet most writers predict that we shall move further and further from this ideal．They conjured up a dark vision of the future... 然而大多数作家预言我们的未来生活将越来越偏离这一理想，他们认为 未来是黑暗的。显然，作者认为那些作家对未来的预测持悲观态度。因此，A项内容与原文相符合，是正确答案。 [解题关键] 1)通过表示转折关系的信号词，如本题原文中的yet可判断作者的观点态度；2)能够把握某些短语隐含的意义，如本题中dark vision传递出的一种对未来的悲观态度。
