判断题
My husband and I bought a camcorder when we had our first kid.
【正确答案】
A
【答案解析】[听力原文]1-10
The reason my husband Bill and I bought a video camera eight years ago when our first daughter Jane was born was that we could relive every moment of our kid's lives. Until Annie's first dance recital when the camcorder had a sudden breakdown, I never realized how little of their lives I was experiencing when I had a camcorder in front of my face. So I decided to try life without one.
At first, I felt neglectful not filming birthdays or the first day of school. But when soccer season started, instead of "directing" my kids so I could get good video, I cheered when Jane, the goalie, made a save or when Annie charged ahead with the ball.
Don't get me wrong -- we want to document the girls' childhoods. I write in memory books, save drawings and take plenty of still photos. With video, you're a passive viewer, and events are recorded as is, with no room to embellish. But leafing through albums together and asking my kids "Remember when.9" triggers a dynamic collaboration. I ask them, then offer my own recollections, and before we know it, we've turned an event that's ho-hum on video, like a trip to the zoo, into something spectacular.
[分析] 词义理解题。
根据原文The reason my husband Bill and I bought a video camera eight years ago when our first daughter Jane was born可知八年前这对夫妇第一个孩子出生时,他们买了一台摄像机。由此可见,题干的说法与原文相符,是正确的。
[解题关键] 掌握同义词替换是解题关键。原文中video camera意思是“摄像机”,与题干中camcorder意思相符。
判断题
My elder daughter Jane is nine years old.
【正确答案】
B
【答案解析】[分析] 数字信息的找寻和判断。根据The reason my husband Bill and I bought a video camera eight years ago when our first daughter Jane was born可知现在他们的女儿已经八岁了。由此可见题干的说法是错误的。
[解题关键] 掌握when引导的定语从句的修饰作用。
判断题
I filmed a lot of precious moments including Annie's first dance performance.
【正确答案】
B
【答案解析】[分析] 词义理解题。
根据原文Until Annie's first dance recital when the camcorder had a sudden breakdown…可知 Annie第一次独舞演出时这台摄像机突然坏了。由此可见题干说“我在Annie第一次舞蹈表演时摄下许多精彩瞬间”与原文不符,是错误的。
[解题关键] 理解词组breakdown的含义。该词组意思为“坏了;出故障”。
判断题

A
【答案解析】[分析] 语义理解题。
根据原文Until Annie's first dance recital when the camcorder had a sudden breakdown,I never realized how little of their lives I was experiencing when I had a camcorder in front of my face.So I decided to try life without one,可知直到Annie第一次独舞演出时这台摄像机突然坏掉时,我才意识到摄像机挡在我面前使我无法几乎体验孩子们的生活。所以我决定过没有摄像机的生活。由此可见题干“我放弃摄像机因为它使我无法尽情享受女儿们生活中的精彩瞬间”的说法与原文意思相符,是正确的。
[解题关键] 1)理解until与否定表达连用表示“直到……才”;2)理解题干中gave up与原文without意思相当。
判断题
Both my daughters Jane and Annie played soccer.
【正确答案】
A
【答案解析】[分析] 词义理解题。
根据原文But when soccer season started…I cheered when Jane,the goalie,made a save or when Annie charged ahead with the ball可知足球赛季开始,守门员Jane的救球、Annie的带球冲锋使我为她们喝彩欢呼。由此可判断,讲话者的两个女儿都踢足球。因此题干的说法与原文相符,是正确答案。
[解题关键] 能够将关键词归类并做简单推断。原文soccer season,the goalie,made a save和charged ahead with the ball全都与足球运动有关。
判断题
I used to cheer for my daughters at soccer matches.
【正确答案】
B
【答案解析】[分析] 推理判断题。
根据原文But when soccer season started,instead of“directing”my kids so I could get good video,I cheered when…可知足球赛季开始后,我没有指导孩子们的动作以便更好地拍摄,相反,我为守门员Jane的救球、Anne的带球冲锋喝彩欢呼。由此可推断讲话者以前忙于拍摄而没有为女儿们在球场上的表现喝彩过。因此题干的说法与原文不符,是错误的。
[解题关键] 理解in stead of的含义。该词组意思为“代替了……”,由其后内容可推断出讲话者以前通常的做法。
判断题
Now I am upset if I can't record my daughters' soccer match with the camcorder.
【正确答案】
B
【答案解析】[分析] 语义理解题。
根据原文At first I felt neglectful not filming birthdays or the first day of school.But when soccer season started,instead of“directing” my kids so I could get good video,I cheered...可知起先刚放弃录像机时,讲话者在孩子们的生日或第一天上学时,感到对他们的关心不足,但后来足球赛季开始,讲话者专心于孩子们的比赛时,感到兴高采烈,由此可推断现在讲话者那种认为忽视了孩子的感觉已不存在。因此题干“现在我因不能给孩子们比赛录像而感到沮丧”的说法与原文不符,是错误的。
[解题关键] 掌握关键词语的含义。注意这里at first指以前,与题干中Now相对立;文中neglectful与题干中upset意思相近。
判断题
I feel the video films made by the camcorder too matter-of-fact.
【正确答案】
A
【答案解析】[分析] 语义理解题。
根据原文With video,you're a passive viewer,and events are recorded as is,with no room to embellish可知用录像机时,你成为被动的观看者,被录的事件死板客观,没有一点想象余地。由此可见题干含义与原文相符,是正确的。
[解题关键] 理解as引导的从句含义。这里该词意思是“如,像”,因此文中as is与题干matter-of-fact意思相同。
判断题
Now I still keep records, of my kids' growth.
【正确答案】
A
【答案解析】[分析] 词义理解题。
根据原文we want to document the girls' childhoods.I write in memory books,save drawings and take plenty of still photos可知我们还是要记录下孩子们童年的,我们将他们的生活写下来,收集他们的图画并拍了大量照片。
[解题关键] 理解document的含义。这里document“记录”与题干中keep records of意思相同。
判断题
I think photos are even better means to remember my kids' growth.
【正确答案】
A
【答案解析】[分析] 观点态度题。
原文说者认为使用照片triggers a dynamic collaboration即激发孩子们的合作,而且we've turned an event that's ho-hum on video,like a trip to the zoo,into something spectacular即以去动物园的游玩以例,我们把刻板的录像改为照相后,这次活动变得非常生动有趣。
由此可见“与录像相比,照片在记录孩子们的成长方面更胜一筹”与原文意思相符,是正确的。
[解题关键] 理解dynamic及spectacular的内涵。这两个都表积极态度,说明拍照片确实是更好的方式。
