答案解析

Section A（1-8）

1.W：I’d like to take a trip to Florida for my spring break. Can you give me any idea where to go?

M：I could tell you about the places I’ve visited, but I think you’d better look up a travel agency to help with the arrangements.

Q：What does the man suggest the woman do?

【答案解析】C本题询问男士建议女士做什么。男士说道“你最好找一家旅行社帮忙安排行程”，C选项“咨询一下旅行社”是对此的同义转述，因此正确。

2.M：I’m really tired of driving at night even though the traffic seems fine.

W：I see. Let’s stop for some food and then find a motel nearby so we can start early tomorrow.

Q：What do we learn about the speakers?

【答案解析】A对话中男士说“即使交通顺畅我也不喜欢夜间驾驶”，这表明他很可能在驾车；接着女士说道“在附近找家汽车旅馆吧，这样明天我们就能提早出发”，由此可知男士的确正在驾车且明天还要继续驾车，综上可以推断他们正在开车进行长途旅行，因此A选项正确。

3.M：Jeff’s got a lot of good ideas. Do you think he’s willing to come to the meeting?

W：Oh, I think he’d be glad to come, but what’s difficult is getting the guy to speak before a large crowd.

Q：What does the woman imply about Jeff?

【答案解析】C女士说“但说服这个家伙在很多人面前说话很难”，这说明Jeff不喜欢或不情愿在很多人面前说话，C选项是女士话语的合理推断，因此正确。

4.W：I hear you are leaving the company and going back to school this year.

M：Yes. I’m enrolled in a graduate programme in public administration.

Q：What is the man going to do?

【答案解析】B男士说“是的。我被一个公共管理的研究生项目录取了”，前面的“是的”肯定了女士所说的“你要离开公司重返校园”这一事件，后半部分对其进行进一步补充说明。由此可知，男士打算在学业上进一步深造，B选项是对此的合理推断，因此正确。

5.W：Have you applied for the art director position?

M：No. I’d like to, but the job starts on the first of May, and I won’t be available until June.

Q：What does the man mean?

【答案解析】A女士询问男士是否申请了艺术指导职位，男士答道“没有”，说明他没有去申请，接着男士解释道，工作5月开始，而自己6月才有时间，说明他不能在5月按时入职，A选项是男士话语的合理推断，因此正确。

6.W：Will my car be ready by the end of the day?

M：It should be. I’ll call if there’re any problems. We are open until six.

Q：What is probably the man’s job?

【答案解析】B女士说“我的车今天之内能修好吗？”，说明女士在等着取回自己的车；而男士回答“如果有任何问题，我会给你打电话”，由“问题”可知女士的车出现了问题，男士很可能是帮助女士修车的，B 选项是对话内容的合理推断，因此正确。

7.W：I have a big paper due Monday, but I promised Laura we’d clean the apartment this weekend. What am I going to do?

M：Why don’t you just see if Laura can wait for a week or two?

Q：What does the man suggest the woman do?

【答案解析】D联系女士的“我答应过Laura这周末一起打扫公寓，我该怎么办？”这一语境可知，男士说“Laura能否等个一两周再打扫？”，言下之意是希望“打扫”推后。D选项是对男士话语的同义转述，因此正确。

8.W：Construction on the bridge has really slowed the traffic.

M：I know. Since they started working, the time it takes me to get to work has doubled.

Q：What are the speakers talking about?

【答案解析】A当女士提出“桥上的施工严重阻碍了交通”时，男士说道“我花在上班路上的时间都加倍了”，言下之意是二人都因为“施工”延长了在路上的时间，这显然是他们不希望的。由此推断，A选项的problem 正是对“阻碍交通”和“时间加倍”的合理概括，因此A选项正确。

Section C

Many college students today own personal computers that cost anywhere from $1,000 to perhaps $5,000 or more. In addition, it is not uncommon for them to purchase software costing another several hundred dollars. Twenty years ago, computers were available, but they were very large and extremely expensive. Few, if any, individuals purchased computers for home use. Over the years, the price of the“guts” of a computer—its memory—has declined to less than a thousandth of the price per unit of memory that prevailed twenty years ago. This is the main reason why computers cost so much less today than they used to. Moreover, technological improvements have made it possible to manufacture memory circuitry that is small enough to fit into the portable personal computers that many of us own and use. In short, as the price of computation has declined the average consumer and business have spent more on purchasing computers.

By contrast, improved agricultural technology, hybrid seeds, scientific animal breeding and so on have vastly increased the amount of output a typical farmer can produce. The prices of goods such as meats and grains have fallen sharply relative to the prices of most other goods and services. As agricultural prices have fallen, many households have decreased their total expenses on food. Even though the quantity of a product purchased generally increases when its price falls, total expenses on it may decline.

26.【答案解析】In addition空格处位于句首，且用逗号与其所在句隔开。鉴于该句主干结构完整，空格处

所填词（组）应作状语，修饰整个句子。其形式可以是副词（词组）、介词短语、动词不定式短语、分词（短语）等。

27.【答案解析】software空格所在句为主系表结构，其中it作形式主语，而包含空格的不定式结构为真正

的主语。此外，空前的purchase和空后的costing表明，空格处应填名词性质的词（组）作purchase的宾语，而costing作所填词的后置定语。

28.【答案解析】available空格所在处是一个由but连接的并列句，空格位于分句一中，该句缺少表语。所

填词的形式可以是名词、形容词、现在分词、过去分词等。鉴于两个分句为并列关系且同为主系表结构，由分句二的large和expensive推测，空格处填入形容词的概率更大。

29.【答案解析】individuals空格所在句中，if any为插入语，purchase为谓语，computers为宾语，for home

use为目的状语。而空格所填词与其修饰语few一起构成主语，由此推断，空格处应填可数名词的复数形式。进一步分析可知，purchase computers的执行者很可能是人，故该空应填表“人”的名词。

30.【答案解析】technological空格所在句是一个主从复合句，空格与后面的improvements一起构成主句的

主语。由此推断，空格处可能需要improvements的前置定语，所填词可以是名词（动名词）、形容词、现在分词等形式。

31.【答案解析】manufacture空格所在句是一个主从复合句，空格位于主句中。分析后不难发现，该句中

的it实为形式宾语，而动词不定式短语to memory circuitry为真正的宾语。鉴于空格所在部分是不定式

结构，故本空应填入一个动词（词组）原形。

32.【答案解析】In short空格所在句是一个主从复合句，且句子主干完整。鉴于空格位于句首且用逗号与

其所在句隔开，该空应填入一个作状语的词（组），修饰整个句子。其形式可以是副词（词组）、介词短语、动词不定式短语、分词等。

33.【答案解析】By contrast与32题相似，本空同样位于句首，且用逗号与其所在句隔开，由此推断，该

空也应填入一个作状语的词（组），修饰整个句子。其形式可以是副词（词组）、介词短语、动词不定式短语、分词等。

34.【答案解析】scientific空格所在句是一个主从复合句。分析可知，animal breeding（动物养殖），improved

agricultural technology（改善的农业技术）和hybrid seeds（杂交的种子）同为本句的并列主语。由此推断，空格处所填词很可能与improved和hybrid的词性一致，作定语修饰后面的名词breeding，故填入形容词的可能性更大。

35.【答案解析】quantity空格所在句为Even though引导的让步状语从句，空格出现在该从句的主语部分。

鉴于空格前为定冠词the，空格后是表所属关系的介词of，故该空应填入名词性质的词（组）。

Section C

Directions:In this section, you will hear a passage three times. When the passage is read for the first time, you should listen carefully for its general idea.When the passage is read for the second time, you are required to fill in the blanks with the exact words you have just heard.

If he keeps the palm of the hand (32) ______the floor, as he would in his own culture when making known the height of a child, for example, he will very likely be greeted by laughter; in Colombia this gesture is (33) ______for the description of animals. In order to describe human beings he should keep the palm of his hand (34) ______ to the floor. Substitutions of one gesture for the other often create not only humorous but also (35) ______moments. In both of the examples above, speakers from two different cultures have the same gesture, physically, but its meaning differs sharply.

答案解析

Section A（1-8）

1. W:I c an’t seem to reach the tea at the back of the cupboard.

M:Oh…Why don’t you use the ladder? You might strain your shoulder.

Q:What does the man suggest the woman do?

【答案解析】B对话中，女士说她够不到橱柜里的茶叶，说明茶叶摆放的位置对女士来说有点高。男士以“为什么不用梯子呢？”回应，可见，男士是建议女士use the ladder去reach the tea。B选项属于对话内容再现，因此正确。

2. W:Since it’s raining so hard, let’s go and see the new exhibits.

M:That’s a good idea. Mary Johnson is one of my favorite painters.

Q:Where does the conversation most probably take place?

【答案解析】D通过对话中女士说的“雨很大”和“去看新的展览”推断，地点应该在室外，即D选项中的Outside。且男士提到“my favorite painters”，D选项的art gallery正好与之对应，因此正确。

3. M:I hear the students gave the new teacher an unfair evaluation.

W:It depends on which students you are talking about.

Q:What does the woman imply?

【答案解析】B女士说要取决于是哪些学生，这是对男士所说“给新老师的评估不公正”的回应，说明女士对于男士的说法有异议，并非所有学生都如此。B选项的does not quite agree是对女士话语的合理推断，因此正确。

4. W:It must have taken you a long time to fix up all these book shelves.

M:It wasn’t too bad. I got Doris to do some of them.

Q:What does the man mean?

【答案解析】C对话中男士说道“I got Doris to do some of them”，这里的do和them是避免用词重复，指代上句女士所说的“fix up”和“bookshelves”。C选项正是对男士话语的合理推断，因此正确。

5. W:Rod, I hear you’ll be leaving at the end of this month. Is it true?

M:Yeah. I’ve been offered a much better position with another firm. I’d be a fool to turn it down.

Q:Why is the man quitting his job?

【答案解析】D女士就离职一事向男士发问时，男士给出了肯定答案“Yeah”，且补充说道“I’ve been offered a much better position…”。D选项的found与对话中been offered对应，a better position是对话内容的再现，因此D选项正确。

6. W:I honestly don’t want to continue the gardening tomor row, Tony?

M:Neither do I. But I think we should get it over with this weekend.

Q:What does the man mean?

【答案解析】A男士以“But”表明客观情况是“我们应该在周末前完成”，显而易见，做园艺的时间并不宽裕，A选项是对男士话语的合理推断，因此正确。

7. W:You’ve already furnished your apartment?

M:I found some used furniture that was dirt cheap.

Q:What do we learn from the conversation?

【答案解析】D对话中男士说“我找到了一些很便宜的二手家具”。D选项的bought对应句中found，inexpensive对应cheap，是对该句的同义转述，因此D选项正确。

8. W:Has the mechanic called about the repairs?

M:Not yet. I’ll let you know when he calls.

Q:What do we learn from the conversation?

【答案解析】B对话中女士问道“Has the mechanic called…”，男士以“Not yet”回答，并补充道“I’ll let you know when he calls”，说明the mechanic没有打电话过来，且女士想要接到the mechanic的电话。换言之，女士一直在等the mechanic的电话，B选项正是对这一情况的合理推断，故为正确答案。

Section C

Among the kinds of social gestures most significant for second language teachers are those which are identical in form but different in meaning in the two cultures. For example, a Colombian who wants someone to approach him often signals with a hand movement in which all the fingers of one hand, cupped, point downward as they move rapidly back and forth. Speakers of English have a similar gesture though the hand may not be cupped and the fingers may be held more loosely, but for them the gesture means goodbye or go away, quite the opposite of the Colombian gesture. Again, in Colombian, a speaker of English would have to know that when he indicates height he must choose between different gestures depending on whether he is referring to a human being or an animal. If he keeps the palm of the hand parallel to the floor, as he would in his own culture when making known the height of a child, for example, he will very likely be greeted by laughter; in Colombia this gesture is reserved for the description of animals. In order to describe human beings he should keep the palm of his hand at a right angle to the floor. Substitutions of one gesture for the other often create not only humorous but also embarrassing moments. In both of the examples above, speakers from two different cultures have the same gesture, physically, but its meaning differs sharply.

26.【答案解析】identical空格出现在由which引导的定语从句中。从句的主语为关系代词which，系动词

为are，空格和different由but连接作并列表语。由此推断，空格处很可能填入一个形容词，且与different 表意相反，即意为“相同的”。

27.【答案解析】approach空格位于who引导的定语从句中。该从句的主语为关系代词who，谓语动词为

wants，宾语为someone，空格与其前面的to和后面的him一起构成动词不定式结构，作宾语补足语。

由此推断，空格处应为及物动词（词组）原形。

28.【答案解析】back and forth空格出现在由as引导的时间状语从句中。其中they作主语，move作谓语，

rapidly作状语。分析句意可知，they指代“finger”，因此move为不及物动词。由此推断，空格处作状

This has been due ,in part ,to the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, which has invested $1.8 billion in American high schools, helping to open about 1,000 small schools-most of them with about 400 kids each with an average enrollment of only 150 per grade, About 500 more are on the drawing board.
