Part II Listening Comprehension

Section A

News Report One

【话题预测】由college students，sleep，problem，stress，psychological 等词可推断，本则新闻与大学生

睡眠或心理健康有关。

【正确答案】1—2 B D

听力原文

You probably think college students are experts at sleeping, but parties, preparations for tests, personal problems and general stress can wreck a student’s sleep habits, which can be bad for the body and the mind. Texas Tech University is even offering a class called “Improving Your Sleep Habits”. People suffering from sleep loss are at an increased risk from obesity, psychological problems and car crashes. Students who don’t get enough sleep have poor attendance and lower grades. On top of all that, a new study published in the journal Learning and Memory finds you are probably better off sleeping than making last-minute preparations for a test. 200 college kids were taught to play some unfamiliar video games. Subjects who learned the games in the morning lost some skills when they played again 12 hours later, but they did much better after getting a good night’s sleep. So if you really want to do your job well, don’t forget to get some sleep. Questions 1 and 2 are based on the news report you have just heard.

1. What is the news report mainly about?

2. What is the finding of the new study published in the journal Learning and Memory?

试题解析

【新闻大意】大学生睡眠不好会严重影响学习效率和身心健康；Texas Tech 大学甚至开设课程教授学生改善睡眠习惯，提高睡眠质量；新的一项研究也证明了提高睡眠质量的重要性。

1. 【考核技能】概括总结

B) 【答案解析】由How，Why 及对应选项概述可判断，本题与新闻的主题相关；原文开始介绍睡眠不好对身心的不良影响：sleep habits, which can be bad for the body and mind ；中间提到you are probably better off sleeping than making last-minute preparations for your test （睡觉可能比做考前最后的准备更利于考试）；最后又强调So if you really want to do your job well, don’t forget to get some sleep（如果想做好自己的工作，不要忘记睡觉）；由此可知，本则新闻主要介绍睡眠为何重要，所以本题选B。

2. 【考核技能】语义理解

D)【答案解析】根据原文：a new study published in the journal Learning and Memory finds you are probably better sleeping than making last-minute preparations for your test（睡觉可能比做考前最后的准备更利于考试），由此可知本题选D。

News Report Two

【话题预测】从选项中的airports，built，investment，facilities，assets，offer better service 可知本篇新闻应该与机场及服务有关。

【正确答案】3—4 C D

听力原文

Long queues, delayed flights and over-crowding at airports have become almost as much a topic for conversation in Britain as the traditional complaining about the weather. Meanwhile, there are

complaints that poor service at London’s major airports is discouraging foreigners from doing business in Britain. Much of the criticism is directed at the British Airports Authority, which runs 7 major airports, including the 3 main ones serving London. The Competition Commission is now to investigate whether the British Airports Authority needs to sell off some of its assets. The idea is that competition between rival operators would lead to better service at airports. The British Airports Authority, recently bought by a Spanish company, says the root cause of the problem is not the ownership structure, but a lack of runway and terminal capacity, which is addressing through a program of heavy investment.

Questions 3 and 4 are based on the news report you have just heard.

3. What is the Competition Commission going to investigate?

4. What is the route cause of the poor service at British airports according to the British Airports Authority?

试题解析

【话题分类】时事新闻

【新闻大意】人们日益抱怨英国机场排队、飞机延误、拥挤、差劲的服务等问题，并将矛头指向英国机场管理局。竞争委员会介入并调查是否需要出售其资产，而刚被西班牙公司收购的英国机场管理局称，根本原因不在于所有制结构，而是跑道和航站楼的承载能力不足。

3. 【考核技能】事件背景

C) 【答案解析】根据录音原文the Competition Commission is now to investigate whether the British Airports Authority needs to sell off some of its assets（竞争委员会在评估是否需要出售英国机场管理局的部分资产），选项中C 完全符合原文。

4. 【考核技能】缘由结果

D) 【答案解析】根据录音原文the root cause of the problem is not the ownership structure, but a lack of runway and terminal capacity （根本原因不在所有制结构，而是跑道和航站楼的承载能力不足），所以本题D 正确。

News Report Three

【话题预测】由选项中出现的nicotine，cigarettes，tobacco，smokers 等可预测本则新闻主要与控制烟草中尼古丁的含量相关。

【正确答案】5—7 A A C

听力原文

Under the law in Massachusetts, tobacco companies have to measure the nicotine content of every type of cigarette and report the results. The Department of Public Health in Boston gathers and carefully examines the figures and then draws its conclusions. 116 brands were looked at for this study. 92 were found to have higher nicotine yield than they did 6 years previously. The biggest increases tended to be in brands that were popular with young smokers. That worries the department because of the addicted nature of nicotine. Stan Glance, a professor of medicine in San Francisco explains why: “The amount of nicotine that’s delivered in every cigarette is 10 percent higher than it wa s 6 years ago, which means that it’s easier to get hooked and harder to quit. The big tobacco companies have always insisted that they are frank with their customers about the dangers of smoking and provide them with enough detail to make an informed decision. However, none of them were prepared to comment on this study or discuss the detailed nicotine content of their products.”

Questions 5 to 7 are based on the news report you have just heard.

5. What do tobacco companies have to do under the law in Massachusetts?

6. What do we learn from the study by the Department of Public Health in Boston?

7. What do we learn from the news report about the big tobacco companies?

试题解析

【话题分类】时事新闻

【新闻大意】马萨诸塞州立法要求烟草公司必须测量每种香烟的尼古丁含量并进行相应报告；波士顿卫生厅对此展开了严格的调查。

5. 【考核技能】方式方法

A)【答案解析】根据录音开始Under the law in Massachusetts, tobacco companies have to measure the nicotine content of every type of cigarette and report the results（按照马萨诸塞州的法律，烟草公司必须测量每种香烟的尼古丁含量并进行结果报告），故本题选A。

6. 【考核技能】得出结论

A) 【答案解析】根据卫生厅报告The biggest increases tended to be in brands that were popular with young smokers（尼古丁含量增加最多的牌子，大多是受年轻烟民欢迎的牌子），A 项符合录音的表达，故本题选A。

7. 【考核技能】得出结论

C) 【答案解析】本题问从这些大型烟草公司身上，我们能了解到什么？根据录音原文However, none of them would prepare to comment on this or discuss the detailed nicotine content of their products（然而，这些公司却不准备解释或讨论香烟里尼古丁的具体含量），可知选项C 符合原文，故选C。

Section B

Conversation One

【话题预测】从第8—11 题的选项中可知，出现最多的是language，speak，practice 等。由此可预测本对话与学习和练习语言有关。

【正确答案】8—11 ＢＣB D

听力原文

M: And, you know, one thing that I wanted to ask you. It’s great that you have had this experience of teaching in Indonesia. And following up on what you just mentioned, what would you recommend for students who do not live in an English speaking country? And, you know, they want to learn. I don’t know about perfecting but they want at least to be able to communicate decently. How can they go about this?

W: Yeah, it’s really hard. That’s the real struggle, because right now I do live in Holland but I really don’t socialize much with Dutch people. And my boyfriend’s Engl ish is so good that we just basically speak English all the time. So I have to make a real effort to practice. There is as much listening exposure as I want. All I have to do is to turn on the TV.

M: And reading also, right?

W: Yeah, reading. There is plenty I can get to read and listen to. But for speaking, there really is no substitute for trying to speak and use the language in a relaxed atmosphere. So I think that’s really the challenge for people who live in a country where their target language isn’t spoken. And for that, gosh, what would I do? If I didn’t have people here, probably… try to find a club? In Sweden, they have a really cool system called “study circles”where it’s not. It’s like a course, but really you just have a course leader, who’s th ere sort of as a coaching guy and to help out. And you don’t get grades, and you go just because you want to learn.

Questions 8 to 11 are based on the conversation you have just heard.

8. Where does the woman live right now?

9. What does the woman say is the real challenge?

10. What does the woman suggest do to learn to speak a foreign language?

11. What does the woman say about the “study circles” in Sweden?

试题解析

【话题分类】教育

【对话大意】女士就在非英语国家如何学习英语提出自己的建议和学习的方法。

8. 【考核技能】语义理解

B)【答案解析】四个选项均是地点，可知本题问where 的相关问题，根据录音原文right now

I do live in Holland（目前我确实住在荷兰），故本题选B) Holland。

9. 【考核技能】态度信息

C)【答案解析】根据原文录音So I think that’s really the challenge for people who live in a country where their target language isn’t spoken（我认为真正的挑战是生活在一个不讲目标语的国家），所以C 项正确。

10. 【考核技能】观点意见

B)【答案解析】女士认为最大的困难是生活在不讲目标语的国家，紧接着提到If I didn’t have people here, probably... try to find a club（如果我在那里没认识的人，我也许会找个俱乐部）。言外之意，练好外语就是要尽可能地多与人交流，即Trying to speak as much as one can。所以本题选B。

11.【考核技能】态度信息

D)【答案解析】女士在介绍如何练习说外语时，提到了the “study circles”in Sweden（瑞典的学习圈）是如何帮助学生说外语的，并在最后总结道you don’t get grades, and you go just because you want to learn（你去那不是为了分数，而是真的想学习），即这个学习圈为学生提供了练外语的机会，故本题选D。

Conversation Two

【话题预测】由12—15 题选项中多次出现的cars，drive，traffic，safety 等可预测本对话会涉及到交通规则或安全驾驶。

【正确答案】12—15 D C A B

听力原文

W: OK, Nathan, so, we’re talking about driving, and are there any rules or regulation that you’d like to change?

M: I’m not sure I want to change rules, but I’d like the police to be stricter on the rules. Like, if people jump the traffic lights. I don’t know why there isn’t a camera at the traffic lights to stop people doing that. Or at speeding. It is very easy to put speed cameras in certain places.

W: Maybe car manufacturers should have some responsibility in limiting the power of their engine. What’s the point in producing an engine that’s big and powerful enough to go like 200 kilometers an hour when the speed limit is only 100?

M: Right. But do you know there are no speed limits in Germany?

W: People there do drive responsibly, though. Often, people break laws simply because the laws are there. If the law isn’t there, people will drive within their ability range. When you’ve got speed limits, this creates situations that actually present dangers on the road.

M: Do you think Germans have better education about personal responsibility when driving?

W: Possibly, they also have very good cars.

M: Right.

W: If you’ve got a good car that can go at a high speed, then it’s really nice to do that.

M: But still with care.

W: So I think it’s the restriction tha t creates the dangers sometimes.

M: OK.

W: Obviously, when driving through a residential area or where there is a school, you’ve got to have speed policemen.

M: Speed bumps.

W: Yes, speed bumps, those speed bumps that force you to slow down. I think they are a good idea.

M: So you don’t think fining people is useful?

W: Not really, because the police don’t have time to police every single driver.

Questions 12 to 15 are based on the conversation you have just heard.

12. What are the speakers mainly talking about?

13. What does the woman think car manufacturers could do?

14. What can we learn about people driving in Germany?

15. What does the woman think of the police fining drivers?

试题解析

【话题分类】旅游交通

【对话大意】男士和女士就驾驶中遇到的交通规则、限速、罚款等安全问题互相交换自己的意见。

12. 【考核技能】概括总结

D) 【答案解析】录音开头女士问男士对于驾驶的规则和规范，想要哪方面的改变（are there any rules or regulation that you’d like to change）?？由此可知二者的对话将围绕rules and regulations 展开，所以本题选D，其他选项都不属于rules and regulations 的范畴。

13. 【考核技能】观点意见

C) 【答案解析】录音中女士提到Maybe car manufacturers should have some responsibility in limiting the power of their engine（也许汽车生产商有责任限制发动机的马力），即女士认为生产商应该生产马力较小的汽车，所以本题选C) Make cars that are less powerful。

14. 【考核技能】得出结论

A) 【答案解析】录音中男士提到Germany 时说道：there are no speed limits in Germany （德国没有限速），女士同意其观点：People there do drive responsibly, though（然而人们开车都很负责）。所以本题选A)They tend to drive responsibly。

15. 【考核技能】态度信息

B) 【答案解析】男士问女士So you don’t think fining people is useful（所以你认为罚款没用吗），女士的回答是Not really（没什么用），所以本题选B) It is not useful。Section C

Passage One

【话题预测】根据第16—18 题选项中重复出现的credit card，card reader 和high-tech 等可预测，本短篇内容与日常生活中信用卡的支付或高科技有关。

【正确答案】16—18 C A D

听力原文

Behind the cash register at a store in downtown San Francisco, Sam Azar swiped his credit card to pay for a pack of cigarettes. The store’s card reader failed to scan the card’s magnetic strip. Azar tried again and again, no luck. As customers began to queue, Mr. Azar reached beneath the counter for a black plastic bag. He wrapped one layer of the plastic around the card and tried again.

Success, the sale was com pleted. “I don’t know how it works. It just does,” said Mr. Azar, who learned the trick from another clerk. Verifone, the company that makes the store’s card reader would not confirm or deny that the plastic bag trick worked. But it’s one of the many low-tech fixes for high-tech failures that people without engineering degrees have discovered often out of desperation and shared. Today’sshaky economy is likely to produce many more such tricks. “In postwar Japan, the economy wasn’t doing so great, so you coul dn’t get everyday used items like household cleaners,” says Lisa Katayama, author of Urawaza, a book named after the Japanese term for “clever lifestyle tips and tricks.” So people look for ways to do with what they

had. Today Americans are finding their own tips and tricks for fixing non-functioning devices with supplies as simple as paper and glue. Some like Mr. Azar’s plastic bag are open to argument as to how they work, or whether they really work at all. But many tech-home remedies can be explained by a little science.

Questions 16 to 18 are based on the passage you have just heard.

16. What happened when Sam Azar swiped his credit card to pay for his purchase?

17. How did Sam Azar manage to complete the sale?

18. What is today’s shaky economy likely to do?

试题解析

【话题分类】科技

【篇章大意】本文通过讲述顾客用塑料袋套在信用卡上以顺利完成支付的事件，引出人们总能通过小的技巧解决一些生活上的高科技难题。

16. 【考核技能】事件背景

C) 【答案解析】根据录音原文Sam Azar 刷信用卡时发现商店的读卡器无法扫描信用卡上的磁条（The store’s card reader failed to scan the card’s magnetic strip），所以本题选C。

17. 【考核技能】方式方法

A) 【答案解析】根据录音原文Mr. Azar reached beneath the counter for a black plastic bag. He wrapped one layer of the plastic around the card and tried again. Success, the sale was completed （Azar 从柜台下拿出一个黑色塑料袋，裹在信用卡上，再一试，交易成功了），所以本题选A。

18.【考核技能】缘由结果

D) 【答案解析】录音原文提到But it’s one of the many low-tech fixes for high-tech failures…Today’s shaky economy is likely to produce many more such tricks（这是其中一个低科技搞定高科技失误的例子……当下动荡的经济很可能产生更多的技巧），所以本题D 项正确。Passage Two

听力原文

If you are a graduate student, you may depend on your adviser for many things including help with improving grades, acquiring financial support, forming and examining committee and getting letters of recommendation. If you are a graduate teaching assistant, your adviser also may be your boss. Academic departments vary in their procedures for assigning academic advisers to graduate students. In some departments, either the chairman or the director of graduate studies serves for at least the first semester as a new student adviser. Then students select an adviser based on shared

academic interests. In other departments, a new student is assigned a faculty adviser based on some system of distribution of the department’s advising load. La ter, students may have the opportunity of selecting the adviser that they prefer. In any case, new graduate students can learn who their advisers or temporary advisers are by visiting or emailing the departmental office and asking for the information. Graduation requirements specify the number of credits you must earn, the minimum grade point of average you must achieve and the distribution of credits you must have from among differing departments or fields of study. In addition, it is necessary to apply for graduation, when you near the time that you will be completing your graduation requirements. Since graduation requirements vary among divisions of the university, you should consult the Bulletin of Information. You should also direct your questions to your departmental office or academic adviser.

Questions 19 to 21 are based on the passage you have just heard.

19. What does the speaker say about procedures for assigning academic advisers?

20. How can new graduate students learn who their advisers are?

Jody has a Ph.D. in nutrition but more important, she has personal experience, her mother taught her to diet

when she was only 8 years old. Jody has created several different presentations, which she gives to different types of audiences and she tries to establish an emotional connection with the students so that they will feel comfortable asking questions or talking to her privately. She shows them pictures and images from popular culture of beautiful women and explains how computers are used to make the women look even more thin and beautiful than they are in real life. She describes how the definition of beauty has changed over the years and even from culture to culture. She then talks about health issue and the physical damage that can occur as the result of dieting. Finally, she addresses self-respect and the notion that a person’s sense of beauty must include more than

how much a person weighs. Sometimes Jody feels that she succeeds in persuading some students to stop dieting;

other times she feels that she fails.

Questions 22 to 25 are based on the passage you have just heard.
