赞助而不是赞助方，C 是利用对话中出现的 program 胡乱制造的干扰项；D“计划在镇里演出”对话没有提及。

2 How much does the South Theater Company ask for in the letter?

[A]【解析】对话中女士明确提到，来信写着希望从女士所在公司得到20000 英镑的赞助，

故 A 项正确。【干扰项排除】①四个选项均涉及金额数，在听录音时应注意关于数字等的相关表达。② B 项属于近音干扰。 C 项利用女士说的“but I don't know if they might settle for less”来设置干扰，女士是说不知道对方公司会否接受金额少一点的赞助，这是女士的想法，不是信中写的金额。D 项是结合上述两点设置的干扰信息。

【解析】录音中提到这项机器人停车技术在海外已经成功应用，但是在美国，唯一的另外一个机器人停车场遇到很多麻烦，比如因为技术问题导致汽车跌落以及汽车被困出不来。由此判断在美国这项技术应用得还不是很成功。因此答案为 A。

【干扰项排除】①根据选项判断问的是 it 的发展状况。② B 中的“新趋势”、C 中的“强烈抵制”、D 中的“吸引很多用户”在短文中完全没有提到。

【干扰项排除】①选项均为不定式动词短语，推测题目可能问建议、计划、原因或目的。②邀请两党领导人不是为了嘉奖他们，而是为建立共识，A 项“嘉奖他们的辛勤劳动”属无中生有。录音说的是邀请商业、劳工和公民领袖前来，而不是 C 项的“引进商业项目”。说话人并非邀请两党领导人来投票，故排除 D 项。

17 What is the focus of the mentioned plan?

[B]【解析】录音中明确指出当前经济仍在大萧条中恢复，我们的首要任务是促进就业和经济增长，这是我们整个讨论计划的重点，B 项是该处录音的同义表达。

18 What are the major decisions about?

[A]【解析】说话人提到我们面临一系列的最后期限，这要求我们在如何偿清赤字方面作出重大决定，A 项paying off 是录音 pay down 的同义替换，故为正确答案。

【干扰项排除】①选项都是动名词短语，预测题目询问行为计划。②录音提到偿清赤字会给中产阶级带来巨大影响，因为需要向中产阶级征收更多的税，并非“增加中产阶级的人数”，故 B 项错误。C 项“控制对教育产生的影响”属于张冠李戴，录音中是说偿清赤字会对经济产生巨大影响，并非对教育。D 项“计划减少能耗”录音未提及。

19 What does combining spending cuts with revenue mean?

[D]【解析】说话人提到把削减开支与增加收入结合起来意味着向最富有的美国人征收更多的税，D 项中的require 和 richest 是录音中 ask 和 wealthiest 的同义表达。

【干扰项排除】①选项中的 deficit, revenue, taxes 等关键词，提示问题与税收、收入相关。

②录音提到 wecan't just cut our way to prosperity,故排除 A 项。 B 项是利用录音中 serious about reducing thedeficit 设置的干扰项，cautious不等于 serious。C 项的“增加赤字”与录音中一直说的减少赤字相悖，故错误。

20 What are the points OpenTable offers users for?

【解析】录音提到积分可以叠加成餐费的折扣，有折扣即餐费可以减少，B 项“它们可以用来减少餐费” 属于该处录音的同义表达，为答案。

22 How does Calorific help people get healthier?

[C]【解析】录音提到 Calorific 向用户提供图片展示“200 卡路里的不同食物的分量分别是多少”，目的是让用户根据不同食物的卡路里含量来控制饮食摄入量。C 项“通过描述每200 卡路里的食物的重量”与录音相符，为答案。

【干扰项排除】①选项都是 by + doing...结构，推测题目可能问方式或做法。②Calorific 提供的是不同食物每200 卡路里是多重的直观概念，不是200 种食物的重量，A 项不对。录音只是提到另一个版本的 Calorific能提供更多的价格信息，而非 B 项说的提供每200 卡路里食物的价格。录音未提及200 种健康的食物，故D 项也不对。

23 What is the number of smokers in America?

[C]【解析】本题问美国烟民数量是多少。录音提到18% 的美国成年人在吸烟，约4000 万人，故选 C 项。

【干扰项排除】①选项出现了数字和 American adults、population等关键词，推测问题可能与某类人群的数量相关。②43%是之前的成年吸烟者比例，而非现在的比例，故 A 项错误。录音提到美国成年人当中18%是烟民，并不是说占总人口的18%是烟民，故 B 项错误。D 项“大约50 万美国人”是每年死于吸烟的人数，不是烟民数，故排除。

24 What measures can be taken to make it harder to get cigarettes?

[B]【解析】录音提到必须考虑给香烟适当定价，以便香烟成为难以享用的商品。B 项是该处录音的同义表达，故为正确答案。

25 What institution does the speaker most likely come from?

[A]【解析】录音提到“我们”正在紧密合作，卫生局局长办公室与食品药物监督局正在密切合作，由此可推断说话人很可能是卫生局局长办公室的人，故 A 项正确。

Conversation One

M: So, what's the next thing on the agenda, Mary?

W: Well, it's the South Theater Company. They want to know if we'd be interested insponsoring a t our they want to make to East Asia.

M: East Asia? Uh... and how much are they hoping to get from us?

W: Well, the letter mentions 20,000 pounds, but I don't know if they might settle for less.

M: Do they say what they would cover? Have they anything specific in mind?

W: No, I think they are just asking all the firms in town for as much money as they think they'llgiv e.

M: And we are worth 20,000 pounds, right?

W: It seems so.

M: Very flattering. But I am not awfully happy with the idea. What do we get out of it?

W: Oh, good publicity I suppose. So what I suggest is not that we just give them a sum ofmoney, but that we offer to pay for something specific like travel or something, and that inreturn, we ask f or our name to be printed prominently in the program, and that they give usfree advertising space in it.

M: But the travel bill would be enormous, and we could never manage that.

W: I know. But why don't we offer to pay for the printing of the programs ourselves oncondition t hat on the front cover there's something like "This program is presented with thecompliments of N orland Electronics", and free advertising of course.

M: Good idea. Well, let's get back to them and ask what the program they want will cost. Thenwe can see if we are interested or not.

Conversation Two

W: Rock stars now face a new hazard—voice abuse. After last week's announcement that PhilC ollins might give up touring because live concerts are ruining his voice, doctors are counselingstar s about the dos and don5ts of voice care. Here in the studio today, we have Mr. Paul Philips,an exp ert from the Highfield Hospital. Paul, what advice would you give to singers facing voiceproblems? M: If pop singers have got voice problems, they really need to be more selective about wherethey work. They shouldn't work in smoky atmospheres. They also need to think about restingtheir voice s after a show. Something else they need to be careful about is medicines, aspirin, forexample. Sin gers should avoid aspirin. It thins the blood. And if a singer coughs, this canresult in the bruising o f the vocal chords.

W: And is it true that some singers use drugs before concerts to boost their voices when theyhave voice problems?

M: Yes, this does happen on occasion. They are easily-available on the Continent and they areusef ul if a singer has problems with his vocal chords and has to sing that night. But if they aretaken re gularly, they cause a thinning of the voice muscle. Most pop singers suffer from threethings: lack of training, overuse and abuse of the voice, especially when they are young. Theyhave difficult liv es. When they go on tour, they do a vast number of concerts, sing in smokyplaces.

W: So, what would you advise these singers to do?

M: Warm you voice up before a show and warm it down after.

Passage One

Would you trust a robot to park your car? The question will confront New Yorkers in February as the city's first robotic parking opens in Chinatown. The technology has been successfully applied

overseas, but the only other public robotic garage in the United States has been troublesome, dropping vehicles and trapping cars because of technical problems.

Nonetheless, the developers of the Chinatown garage are confident with the technology and are counting on it to squeeze 67 cars in an apartment-building basement that would otherwise fit only 24, accomplished by removing a maneuver space normally required.

A human-shaped robot won't be stepping into your car to drive it.

Rather, the garage itself does the parking. The driver stops the car on a flat platform and gets out. The platform is lowered into the garage, and it is then transported to a vacant parking space by a computer-controlled device similar to an elevator that also runs sideways.

There is no human supervision, but an attendant will be on hand to accept cash and explain the system to new users.

Parking rates will be attracted about $400 monthly or $25 per day, according to Ari Milstein, the director of planning for Automation Parking Systems, which is the U.S. subsidiary of a German company. This company has built automated garages in several countries overseas and in the United States for residents of a Washington, D.C. apartment building.

Passage Two

Alcoholism is a serious disease. Nearly nine million Americans alone suffer from the illness. Many scientists disagree about what the differences are between an alcohol addict and a social drinker. The difference occurs when someone needs to drink. And this need gets in the way of his health or behavior.

Alcohol causes a loss of judgment and alertness. After a long period, alcoholism can deteriorate the liver, the brain and other parts of the body. The illness is dangerous, because it is involved in half of all automobile accidents. Another problem is that the victim often denies being an alcohol addict and won't get help.

Solutions do exist. Many hospitals and centers help patients cope. Without assistance, the victim can destroy his life. He would detach himself from the routines of life. He may lose his employment, home or loved ones.

All the causes of the sickness are not discovered yet. There is no standard for a person with alcoholism. Victims range in age, race, sex and background Some groups of people are more vulnerable to the illness. People from broken homes and North American Indians are two examples. People from broken homes often lack stable lives. Indians likewise had their traditional life taken from them by white settlers who often encourage them to consume alcohol to prevent them from fighting back. The problem has now been passed on.

Alcoholism is clearly present in society today. People have started to get help and information. With proper assistance, victims can put their lives together one day.

13 What is the problem of the victims about alcoholism according to the speaker?

14 Why did white settlers introduce alcohol to Indians?

15 What does the speaker seem to believe about those affected by alcoholism?

Recording One

Hi, everybody. On Tuesday, America went to the polls. And the message you sent was clear: you voted for action, not politics as usual.

You elected us to focus on your jobs, not ours. That's why I've invited leaders of both parties to the White House next week, so we can start to build consensus around challenges we can only solve together.

I also intend to bring in business, labor and civic leaders from around the country from outside Washington to get their ideas and input as well.

At a time when our economy is still recovering from the Great Recession, our top priority has to be jobs and growth. That's the focus of the plan I talked about throughout the campaign.

It's a plan to reward businesses that create jobs here in America, and give people access to the education and training that those businesses are looking for.

It's a plan to rebuild our infrastructure and keep us on the cutting edge of innovation and clean energy.

And it's a plan to reduce our deficit in a balanced and responsible way.

This is even more important because at the end of this year, we face a series of deadlines that require us to make major decisions about how to pay down our deficit —decisions that will have a huge impact on the economy and the middle class, not only now but in the future.

Last year, I worked with Democrats and Republicans to cut a trillion dollars, worth of spending, and I intend to work with both parties to do more.

But as I said over and over again on the campaign trail, we can't just cut our way to prosperity.

If we're serious about reducing the deficit，we have to combine spending cuts with revenue—and that means asking the wealthiest Americans to pay a little more in taxes.

That's how we did it when Bill Clinton was President.

And that's the only way we can afford to invest in education and job training and manufacturing—all the ingredients of a strong middle class and a strong economy.

Already, I've put forward a detailed plan that allows us to make these investments while reducing our deficit by $4 trillion over the next decade.

16 Why are leaders of both parties invited to the White House next week?

17 What is the focus of the mentioned plan?

18 What are the major decisions about?

19 What does combining spending cuts with revenue mean?

Recording Three

We've had fifty years of progress since that landmark Surgeon General's report back in 1964. Over these years incredible things have taken place. Our society has changed—changed in terms of tobacco use, in terms of its acceptance of smoking in public establishments, in restaurants, in bars. So things have really changed for the better. In addition, smoking rates have come down in the United States.

We went from 43 percent of adult smokers in the United States to 18 percent currently. So that's really made incredible headway, yet I have to emphasize the battle isn't over, the war isn't over. Eighteen percent of American adults who are still smoking, basically 40 million people in our population. That being said we have to realize also that of that whole group, we're going to have roughly a half million people every year dying from smoking related diseases.

So although we've made progress in a half century the reality is we still have a lot of work to do. So, you know, we increasingly see tough advertisements on the air against smoking.

These ads are working. In particular, the CDC—the Center for Disease Control and Prevention came up with a series of advertisements from former smokers called TIPS.

And that really was quite effective in terms of reducing the number of smokers. In addition, there's various policies that need to be implemented and further implemented in order to make us a tobacco-free society.

So we really have to work at the idea of using media, using those advertisements. We have to look at really concentrating on the youth of America to make it more difficult to actually get cigarettes. And in addition we have to look at the idea of pricing cigarettes appropriately so that ultimately it becomes a hardship to use those products.

So, let's talk a little bit about packaging those products. Other countries have much more graphic detail of the potential dangers of smoking.

We're currently working closely; the office of the Surgeon General is working closely with the Food and Drug Administration, specifically the Center for Tobacco Products and are reanalyzing the whole row of the idea of the warning labels and the idea of how graphic they should be, and so there will probably be more information coming out on this in the near future.

23 What is the number of smokers in America?

24 What measures can be taken to make it harder to get cigarettes?

25 What institution does the speaker most likely come from?
