【正确答案】 A
【答案解析】[听力原文] M: Hey, Jane. What's so interesting? W: Oh, hi, Tom. I'm reading this fascinating article on the societies of the Ice Age. M: The Ice Age? There weren't any societies then, just the bunch of cave people. W: That's what people used to think. But a new exhibition at the American Museum of National History shows that Ice Age people were surprisingly advanced. M: Oh, really? In what ways? W: Well, Ice Age people were the inventors of languages, art and music as we know it. And they didn't live in caves. They built their own shelters. M: What did they use to build them? The cold weather would have killed almost all of the trees, so they couldn't have used wood. W: In some warmer climates, they did build houses of wood. In other places, they used animal bones and skins or lived in natural stone shelters. M: How did they stay warm? Animal skin walls don't sound very sturdy. W: Well, it says here, that in the early Ice Age, they often faced their homes towards the south to take advantage of the sun, a primitive sort of solar heating. M: Hey, that's pretty smart! W: Then people in. the late Ice Age even insulated their homes by putting heated cobblestones on the floor. M: I guess I spoke too soon. Can I read that magazine article after you're done? I think I'm going to try to impress my anthropology teacher with my amazing knowledge of Ice Age civilization. W: Ha... What a show-off! What did the man think about the people of the Ice Age? ①所有选项都围绕“他们”,注意各个谓语动词,要抓住对话中的关键动词,通常是原词再现,或者同义替换。②男士说:“那个时候还没有社会,只是一群穴居人类。对话中的bunch对应A中的clustered,故A与对话相符。 refined的意思是“精良的”,这与inventors of languages不符,后者刚被发明应该是比较原始的,故不选C。

【正确答案】 D
【答案解析】[听力原文] What did Ice Age people do in some warmer climates according to the woman? 女士说:“在一些气候比较温暖的地方,冰河时期的人确实建了木屋。”D符合对话中的意思。 对话中女士并没有提及冰河期的人A“找洞穴”、B“烧树木”、C“去海边”这样的信息,故排除。

【正确答案】 D
【答案解析】[听力原文] How did people in the early Ice Age keep warm? ①所有选项都是在描述某种取暖方式,故基本可猜测出题目问什么。②女士说:“在冰河世纪的早期,为了利用太阳,他们盖的房屋通常朝南。这是一种原始的利用太阳能取暖的方式。”D符合对话中的意思。 A利用对话中提到的sturdy设置干扰,对话中男士是说用动物皮搭建的墙感觉不太坚固耐用。录音提到冰河世纪晚期的人会在地板铺上鹅卵石作隔热层,并非B说的“沙子”,而且题目问的是早期,而非晚期,排除B。C“他们通过不断烧着火来取暖”未提及。

【正确答案】 B
【答案解析】[听力原文] What does the man want the woman to do? ①四个选项都是动词原形短语,推测题目可能问建议、计划或打算。②男士说:“你看完那篇杂志上的文章能借给我吗?”故B正确。 男士想看完文章后去老师面前显摆,而不是想让女士去见他的老师,排除A。C和D在对话中无依据。
