That will make the pictures better.Q: What does the woman suggest the man do?【听前预测】根据意思相反的两个选项中有一个可能是答案的命题规律，答案锁定在C和D之间。【解 析】选D。对话中女士提到having the light at your back as you shoot（照相时应背光），D的内容是对该句的同义转述，故为答案。12. W: I saw you in the lecture hall yesterday on your way out to Prof. Warners philosophy class. I was quite surprised and I didnt think you were someone interested in philosophy.M: I dont know whats so surprising. There are lots of engineering students in that class.Q: What can be inferred about the man?【听前预测】由He has/thinks等可知，男士的话为听音重点。【解 析】选A。男士的话I dont know whats so surprising lots of engineering students in that class（我不知道这有什么可吃惊的那个班有很多工程学专业的学生）为听音重点。由男士的话可知，男士应该也是工程学专业的学生，故答案为A。13. W: You know, we never went over Chapter 16 in class. What do you think the odds are that Dr. Bomb will include it on the test?M: Hes been long to do things like that. So I wouldnt put it past him.Q: What does the man say about Dr. Bomb?【听前预测】根据意思相反的两个选项中有一个可能是答案的命题规律，答案锁定在C和D之间。【解 析】选C。对话中女士的话we never went over Chapter 16 in class(我们从没在课堂上复习过第16章)和男士提到的I wouldnt put it past him(我对他那样做不感到吃惊)，四个选项中只有C的内容与男士的话对应，故答案为C。odds意为“可能性”，(would)not put it past sb.(to do sth.)意为“认为某人可能做坏事，不合法的事等”。14. W: Have you guys decided whether you are going to get an apartment off campus next year or to stay in the dorm?M: We are still talking about the pros and cons. I dont know. To me, it seems like six of one and half of dozen of the other.Q: What does the man mean?【听前预测】D的概括性强，且内容表述全面，根据命题规律，D为答案的可能性大。由He wants可知，男士的话为听音重点。【解 析】选D。男士的话the pros and cons（正反两面）为听音重点。D中的advantages and disadvantages是对the pros and cons的同义转述，故答案为D。six of one and half of dozen of the other意为“半斤八两”。15. M: Its partly your own fault. You should never let in anyone like that unless youre expecting him.W: Its all very well to say that, but someone comes to the door and says “Electricity” or “Gas”, and you automatically think he is OK, especially when he shows his card.Q: How does the woman feel about the mans remarks?【听前预测】由She agrees / thinks/ feels可知，女士的话为听音重点。【解 析】选B。女士的话Its all very well to say that, but you automatically think（说起来容易，但是你不自觉地就会想），B的内容是对该句的同义转述，其中it is easier said对应Its all very well to say that，故答案为B。It is easier said than done.意为“说起来容易，做起来难”。16. W: What am I going to do to decide which major to choose in business?M: I once went to a career counselor and what a lot of people dont realize is how irrelevant the issue of a major really is to many employers.Q: What does the man mean?【听前预测】由选项中重复出现的counselor和major可知，对话可能与向顾问咨询专业问题有关。【解 析】选D。对话中男士提到people dont realize how irrelevant the issue of a major really is to many employers（人们没有意识到许多雇主并不关心专业），D的内容是对该句的同义转述，故为答案。17. M: I havent got a job yet. All they offered are low-paying jobs without any future.W: But everybody starts from the beginning and nowadays you cant depend on a company for lifetime employment any more.Q: What does the woman mean?【听前预测】由The man should可知，女士的话为听音重点。【解 析】选C。女士的话But everybody starts from the beginning cant depend on lifetime employment 为听音重点，C的内容是对女士的话的同义转述，故为答案。be particular about意为“挑剔，过分讲究”。18. M: Well, I pretty much know what Im going to take but what a day, eh? Registering is so stressful. Cant there be another way?W: Telephone registration would mean we didnt have to deal with all the same headaches.Q: What does the woman mean?【听前预测】由选项中重复出现的Telephone registration可知，对话与电话注册有关。根据过于绝对的选项往往不是答案的命题规律，首先排除B。【解 析】选A。对话中女士提到的we didnt have to deal with all the same headaches，A中的much easier是对该句的同义转述，故答案为A。headaches在此意为“麻烦”。Now you will hear the two long conversations.Conversation One【听前预测】选项中的They want / hope / plan to do等表明，对话与They对未来的计划安排有关。M: Here is the summer vacation again. It seems that there is no new place in our country for me to travel.W: I have an idea to make good use of our vacations. We have benefited from the society but done nothing in return. Do you want to do some local voluntary work for the society this year?M: Sounds interesting. What do you think we should do?W: Im not sure. Maybe we could offer help in the hospital for handicapped children. We could help feed the children and help look after them.M: Excellent! But Im not sure if we will be allowed to do that. I think all helpers there have to be specially trained. And we are not in the related major.W: Yeah, maybe you are right. I still have the idea of doing something for children, havent you?M: Well, maybe. And I think many old people also need help. What else did you have in mind for children?W: My other idea was to do something for the small primary school down the street. That school is too poor to provide a playground for the pupils. Children cannot do without one. Ive noticed that some land round the back of the school is not used. We could make it into a small playground. What do you think?M: Mm, its a good idea, but you are a bit too ambitious. I dont know anything about making playgrounds. And I also think that it might be too expensive to do what you suggest.W: Yes, I guess youre right. We cannot afford the big project unless someone sponsors us. Its impossible for us to find such a person. So what do you have in mind for older people?M: I think we should go round to the homes of older people and ask if there is something we can do in the house you know, like a bit of simple decorating, washing the clothes, cleaning up the garden, even doing some shopping for them once a week.W: Mm, this sounds meaningful and practical. I quite like the idea. It wont cost us any money and Im sure we are capable of dealing with the things you mentioned.Questions 19 to 22 are based on the conversation you have just heard.19. What are the two speakers arrangements for the coming summer vacation?【解析】选C。对话中女士提议Do you want to do some local voluntary work for the society this year?从而引出各种不同的voluntary work(志愿工作)，故答案为C。20. What can we learn about the woman from the conversation?【解析】选B。对话中女士接连提出的两个方案都和孩子有关，依据她的话I still have the idea of doing something for children, havent you?可以确定，答案为B。【点睛】对话中提到女士愿意提供帮助，却并没有表明她是否很喜欢残疾儿童，故排除A。当男士指出她的计划行不通后，她也同意去照顾老人，故排除C；D中的cheap未提及。21. Why cant they make a playground for the pupils?【解析】选A。对话中女士提议给小学生建操场(We could make it into a small playground.)，但是他们负担不起这个项目（cannot afford the big project），又很难找到资助（sponsors）的人，故答案为A。【点睛】本题考查对对话中重要信息的综合及转述。22. What are the possible identities of the two speakers?【解析】选B。选项表明本题考查对话双方的身份。对话一开始就提到Here is the summer vacation again，可见他们还是在校学生，故答案为B。【点睛】对话中男士说到照顾残疾儿童的建议不妥当，其原因之一就是专业(major)不相关，也说明他们是大学生。Conversation Two【听前预测】选项中的Native American artists, dance troupe, celebrate the opening of a new theatre等表明，对话可能与舞蹈团演出有关。W: Todays Arts Report features Dan Parker of the American Indian Dance Theatre. Mr. Parker, I understand your troupe performs traditional music and dance from many different Native American cultures. Can you give us an idea of some of the dances youll be doing in your performance tonight?M: Certainly. Well be doing one thats a war dance. Originally it was a story-telling device to recount battles. Another is the grass dance performed by the Plains Indians, where they actually flatten tall field grass to prepare it for a ceremony.W: Since your dancers are from many different tribes, how can you be sure the dances are done correctly?M: Everything we do has been approved by the elders of our tribes. Thats partly because we dont necessarily know each others style or dances. But its also because its hard to get complete agreement even within the same tribe about exactly how the dance should be done.W: Anyone who attends one of your performances will notice that your company goes to a lot of trouble to provide detailed explanations of the origin of the dances, the music, the costumes, and so forth. Could you explain to our listeners why you do this?M: Good question. There are always concerns that traditional dances performed in a theatre are nothing more than a spectacle. Our explanations show that in our cultures dance is custom rather than entertainment. We also want to make it clear to our audience that we are not performing any dances used for holy ceremonies.Questions 23 to 25 are based on the conversation you have just heard.23. What is the main topic of the conversation?【解析】选C。选项概括性强表明，本题考查对话主旨。对话一开始女士说知道男士的剧团表演的传统音乐和舞蹈融合了许多不同的美国本土文化，接着请Dan Parker介绍今晚即将表演的舞蹈，故答案为C。【点睛】C The dances of a Native American dance troupe是女士所说的话的综合表述。24. What is the purpose of the interview?【解析】选B。选项均以“To+原形动词”开头表明，本题考查行为目的。问题询问这次采访的目的。对话一开始女士请男士介绍今晚即将上演的舞蹈，故答案为B。【点睛】B To inform people about a performance对应对话中的Can you give us an idea of some of the dances youll be doing in your performance tonight?。25. Why are the dances approved by the elders of the tribes?【解析】选A。对话中男士说Everything we do has been approved by the elders of our tribes，接下来说明了两个原因：一部分原因是we dont necessarily know each others style or dances，还有一部分原因是its hard to get complete agreement，也就是说为了统一舞蹈标准这些舞蹈表演是受到长者认可的，故答案为A。【点睛】because表示原因的句子是常考点。But转折处也常为考点。Section BPassage One【听前预测】预览四道题各选项，结合She, music teaching, taught music, compose songs等可推知，本文很可能与一位女音乐老师有关。When Andrea Peterson landed her first job teaching, she faced the daunting task of creating a music program with almost no money for equipment or supplies in a climate where standards based learning was the focus and music just provided a break for students and teachers. For her drive and creativity in overcoming those challenges, shes been named National Teacher of the Year. Principal Waynes Kettler said hes worked with many outstanding teachers in his 22 years as an educator, but Peterson is “just that one step above anybody Ive ever worked with before.” Kettler and others at Monte Cristo Elementary School talk about the ways she has introduced the learning from other classrooms into her music program and her creativity in working around things such as the lack of money for new music. When students were reading S.E. Hintons novel The Outsiders in their regular classroom, Peterson helped them write a 30-minute play with scenes from the book. Then they chose three Broadway tunes that focused on race, equality and social justice, the themes of the book. Peterson composed two other songs herself after classroom discussions about the play and the book.The honor means a lot to residents of Granite Foils. Its inspiring to know that people from small towns even win national honors. As National Teacher of the Year, Peterson will spend more years outside the classroom, as a national and international spokeswoman for education. She said its essential for schools to offer classes such as art or music and physical education because for some kids one of those subjects is the only thing that attracts them to come back to school day after day.Questions 26 to 29 are based on the passage you have just heard.26. What happened when Peterson began her teaching career?【解析】选B。根据短文中提到的with almost no money for equipment or supplies in a climate 可知，Peterson在刚开始当老师的时候，学校里没有音乐设备，故答案为B。【点睛】B中的lacked teaching facilities for music对应短文中的no money for equipment。27. What is the most important reason that Peterson won the award?【解析】选B。由短文中提到的For her drive and creativity in overcoming those challenges可知，Peterson因努力克服学校里没有音乐设备的困难和创造力而获奖，后来又提到她帮助学生写词作曲，并引进新教学方法，故答案为B。【点睛】问题中的Peterson.award对应短文中shes been named National Teacher of the Year，For表示原因。B中的motivated和creativity对应短文中的drive and creativity。28. Which is an example of Petersons way of teaching music?【解析】选C。根据短文中提到的talk about the ways she has introduced the learning from other classrooms into her music program 可知，她上课的方式之一是在自己的教学中利用其他课程的内容，故答案为C。29. What do we learn about Petersons opinion?【解析】选A。由短文末尾提到的She said its essential for schools to offer classes such as art or music and physical education day after day可知，她认为艺术、音乐和体育课程都很重要。【点睛】because常为考点，应注意其后的句子。Passage Two【听前预测】预览四道题各选项，结合其中多次出现的computers和companies可推知，本文可能与电脑和公司有关。Without most people realizing it, there has been a revolution in office work over the last ten years. Before that time, large computers were only used by large, rich companies that could afford the investment. With the advancement of technology, small computers have come into the market, which are capable of doing the work that used to be done by much larger and expensive computers, so now most smaller companies can use them.The main development in small computers has been in the field of word processors, or WPS as they are often called. 40% of British offices are now estimated to have a word processor and this percentage is growing fast. There are many advantages in using a word processor for both secretary and manager. The secretary is freed from a lot of daily work, such as retyping letters and storing papers. He or she can use this time to do other more interesting work for the boss. From a managers point of view, secretarial time is being made better use of and money can be saved by doing daily jobs automatically outside office hours.But is it all good? If a lot of daily secretarial work can be done automatically, surely this will mean that fewer secretaries will be needed. Another worry is the increasing medical problems related to work with visual display units. The case of a slow loss of sight among people using word processors seems to have risen greatly. It is also feared that if a woman works at a VDU for long hours, the unborn child in her body might be killed. Safety screens to put over a VDU have been invented but few companies in England bother to buy them.Whatever the arguments for and against word processor, they are a key feature of this revolution in office practice.Questions 30 to 32 are based on the passage you have just heard.30. Why didnt smaller companies use large computers ten years ago?【解析】选C。根据短文中提到的Before that time, large computers were only used by large, rich companies that could afford the investment可知，十年前只有经济实力雄厚的公司才能买得起这种大型电脑，由此可推测小公司那时买不起，故答案为C。【点睛】that could afford the investment为定语从句，先行词为large, rich companies。31. What is the main feature of the revolution in office work over the last ten years according to the passage?【解析】选B。由短文中提到的The main development in the field of word processors 40% of British offices to have a word processor可知，在过去十年中，文字处理软件发展很快，在办公中得到了广泛应用，故答案为B。32. What is implied about the result of using word processors in the passage?【解析】选A。A、B、D均说的是负面情况，而C说的是正面情况，与其他选项明显不同，故可首先排除。根据短文中提
