笔试全真预测试卷(三)听力原文

? 笔试全真预测试卷(三)答案与解析

Section I Listening Comprehension

? Part A

? 1．international。独白第一句指出：A Nobel Prize is one of the most highly regarded international honors，题句与此完全一样，因此只要听清这一句即可作答。

2．1901。本题考查的是时间数字的听音辨音。独自第三句明确交代了第一届诺贝尔奖颁发的时间为1901年(诺贝尔去世5年后)，应用阿拉伯数字表达。

3．1iterature。答案信息对应于独自第五句。本题也可由常识直接得出答案：诺贝尔奖包括3项自然科学奖，1项文学奖和1项和平奖，共5个奖项。

4．establishment。独自后半部分对于诺贝尔的介绍中有一句：In his last will…to the establishment of

prizes for achievements…，即他在遗嘱中希望将自己的财产用于设立这几个奖项。注意拼写。

5．medal。独自最后四句说明了诺贝尔奖的构成，其中倒数第三句指出：The first part is a gold medal(第

一部分是一块金质奖章)。

Part B

6．4 million／4000000(copies)。这是一篇介绍英国报刊情况的独自。本题问的是两种报纸的日发行量。

独自第二句即指出《镜报》和《快报》的日发行量为four million copies。

7．13 million／13000000。本题与上题一样，考查的是数字的听音和辨音，答案对应于独白第四句，注意不能把13听成30。考生从试题的文字部分就应能确定听音重点，这样在听音过程中就能做到有的放矢。

8．The content。独白后面谈论的主要是地方报纸的情况。在第七句中指出：but the content is naturally

…they serve，题目只是把这一句改成了特殊疑问句和被动语态。

9．Clubs and churches。答案信息对应于独自第九句指出：A great deal…by clubs and churches in theneighbourhood，题目只是改成了主动语态。

10．Advertisillg。独白第十句指出：......the Success of any newspaper depends on advertising(任何报纸的

成功都取决于广告)。

Part C

11．[C]。在第三个话轮中男士用婉转表达和比较句式说明了自己对居住地气候的不满：I think it would be…to a warmer climate。既然他认为去一个气候暖和些的地方好，那么肯定是因为他目前所在的地方气候太冷。而在后面一句中他又补充说明了他已经厌倦了铲雪，说明该地冬季下雪很多。因此选[C]。

12．[A]。在第五个话轮中男士说：I would be the Director of Research…a big raise in salary，即他认为职位和薪水都不错，综合起来就是[A]的意思。其余各项都与对话内容不符。

13．[C]。最后一个话轮中男士明确指出：1 have to fly out there for an interview next week，而由前向儿个话轮可知他求职的公司位于加利弗尼皿的洛杉矶，因此选[C]。

14．[C]。本题属于主旨题，也可以归入细节题，因为独自第二句即指出了讨论的主题：Today I'm going to talk about…to conserve energY，后面的内容则是具体介绍一个地区在节能方面的做法和成功经验。[C]项只是将conserve energy进行了词形变换，故就是本题答案。其余三项都只是独自中出现的词句而已。

15．[D]。本题属于细节捕捉题。独白在引入Davis这个地方时指出…have succeeded in cutting their? energy consumption by l／3 since l973，说明该地从l973年就开始了节能项目。独自中还出现了另一个时? 间：Since l976…，但选项中并没有这一项，因此对考生的干扰性不大。

16．[B]。本题也是细节题。独白在开始介绍Davis这个地区的做法时，首先说明的是在建筑上的立? 法，然后进行了具体说明：All new houses…so that the heat will not escape…，对其中so that所表达的? 因果关系的理解正是本题的考查点所在。[B]项与此意相同，只是表达方式不一样，故是本题正确答案。

17．[A]。本题属于细节捕捉题。在提到Davis地方采取的其他节能措施时，独自指出：By reducing the available parking space…in the city every day，即Davis市政府是通过减少停车位的做法来减少该市的汽车数量的，因此本题答案就是[A]。其余三项都属于抓住独自中的个别词汇进行的发挥。

18．[D]。本题需要综合几段材料的内容才能做出判断。独自第一段指出一些成人参加成人教育的目的是完成高中或大学学业，第二段指出一些人是为了学习工作技能，第三段则说明一些人是为了发展新的兴? 趣。只有[D]项在文中没有提及。事实上，如果考生听懂了独白第三段第一句话，作答就会很容易。

19．[C]。本题与上题类似。独自第一段中提到了亚利桑那大学([B])；第三段提到了蒙哥马利学院? ([A])；第四段中提到了农业与国防部([D])。只有[C](老年公寓)在文中没有提及。

20．[B]。

Section II Use of English

21．[D]。考查动词用法。由前文可知这里的variety指的是语言的种类，而说某种语言只能用speak／? use，不能用其他三项。注意此处是被动语态。

22．[B]。考查形容词与上下文理解。same(完全)相同的，一样的；similar相似的，近似的；equal(数值、? 地位等)相等的；identical同一的，完全相同的。由上下文及常识可知这里指与新闻播音相似的情形，选[B]。

23．[C]。考查固定搭配与上下文理解。由上下文不难看出，这里作者强调的是标准语言与非标准语言? 之间的差异与正式语言和口语的差异无关，因此用have nothing to do with这一同定搭配。其余三项都是肯定义，都不合上下文逻辑。

24．[A]。考查名词辨义。language语言；vocabulary词汇；idiom习语，成语，风格；word单词。由于受

colloquial(口语的)修饰，且后一分句中它又修饰指语言种类的variants(变体)，故此处也用language。

25．[B]。考查副词与上下文理解。由下文中的developed(发展)及整个句意可知这里涉及的是英语的

历史，因此选historically(历史上，从历史来说)。其余三项都不合逻辑。

26．[D]。考查名词与上下文理解。由上下文可知，这里指的是伦敦英语这种方言，因此选dialect(方言)。accent口音；pronunciation发音；spellin9拼写。而下文中紧跟着又出现了dialect一词，可以帮助确定答案。

27．[A]。考查动词辨义。prefer更喜欢；learn学习；praise表扬；create创造。由文意与常识可知，受过

教育的人应当是“更喜欢”说伦敦英语，因此选[A]。

28．[C]。考查介词用法。to引出的是方向和对象，in表示的是空间位置、途径等，as指“作为”，表达的是形式，for引出对象和目的。由上下文与常识可知，这里指伦敦方言演变成了一种标准英语，表示的是一种形式，因此选[C]。

29．[B]。考查名词辨义与上下文理解。由上文中的norrn与本句中的also即可确定应选norm(标准，规范)。basis基础；rule规则；variety,种类。

30．[D]。考查上下文理解。由于后文谈论的都是标准英语的问题，因此根据逻辑与上下文文意可知此处也应用standard来修饰。

31．[C]。考查副词与上下文理解。由后文中描述标准英语的形容词powerful及常识可知这里作者表达的应是肯定含义，即世界各地标准英语的语法、词汇等都是相同的，冈此选much。[A]、[D]是否定副词；[B]中的very不用于修饰the same。

32．[A]。考查名词辨义与上下文理解。由上题分析可知作者指的是标准英语在语法等上的相同性，因此此处应是说各地之间的“差异”很小，选variation(差异，变化)。standardization标准化；unification统一，联合；transformation改变，改观。

33．[C]。考查上下文关系。由上下文可知，此处所说几种英语在语法和词汇上差别不大，应当是前文所说各地英语差异很小的一种结果，因此选so that。while表轻微转折或者同时，but表示转折，nevertheless为正式用语，也表转折或者让步，它们都不合句意逻辑。

34．[D]。考查上下文理解。参见上题分析。本题由常识也可推知答案。注意[C]虽然也表否定，但它是绝对否定，明显不符合事实。

35．[B]。考查固定搭配。as／so far as…be concerned为固定搭配，指“就…而言，从…来说”。其余三

项都不用在此结构中。

36．[B]。考查名词辨义与上下文理解。press媒体，按，压，繁重；pressure压力；power权力，力量；force迫使，力量。由于后面一句紧跟着出现了pressure on这一搭配，因此此处也选pressure。

37．[A]。考查动词辨义与上下文理解。由句意不难看出，标准英语的强大力量应当是使一些英国方言“失去”了生命力(即用这些方言的人越来越少)，因此选[A]。gain获得；miss错过；get得到。它们都不对。

38．[C]。考查动词辨义。abandon丢弃；change改变；standardize使标准化；reform改革。由于全文论述的都是标准英语的内容，此处当然应当是说方言在压力之下标准化，从而变成标准英语那样，[C]最恰当。

39．[A]。考查限定词。由于修饰单数可数名词situation(情形)，且前文说明的是标准英语两个方面的影响，因此应选形容词latter(后者的)。later和late都可作形容词或者副词，都指时间，前者指“后来(的)”，后者指“迟(的)，晚(的)”；lately是副词，指“近来，最近”。

40．[B]。考查固定搭配。(be)in the way在路中，挡路，妨碍；(be)under way在进行中，在实施中(也拼作underway)；(be)out of way在路边，在一边，得以解决(way前一般要用冠词或者sb．’S限定)；all the way完全地。由上下文文意可知只能选[B]。

Section III? Reading Comprehension

Part A

Text 3

51．[A]。主旨题。通读全文可知，文章讨论的主要是青少年阶段政治观念的形成，从政治事实、政治知识、社会机构(如学校、教会等)等方面论述了政治观念形成所必需的几种认知技能，因此本题答案是[A]。

52．[D]。细节题。答案见于第二段第四句。[A]、[B]两项都可根据常识排除；[C]与最后一句不符。

53．[C]。词义推测题。由这一短语后表示举例的for example及后文的意思可知，“理解共识”指的就是社会对诸如国家和公民之间相互的正当需求、政府与社会机构之间的正常关系等在理解上的一种认识，因此答案是[C]。

54．[B]。分析推理题。首先，文章第二段第四旬将学校和教会作为组成政治体系的一个例子；然后，在该段第五、六句指出，青少年幼稚的政治知识源自对这一政治体系的不完全理解。由此可以推知，作者认为学校本身就是社会政治体系中的组成部分，学生从中可以学会理解这一体系，故选[B]。

55．[A]。分析推理题。本题较难，需要考生在理解全文的基础上对作者论述的结构和思路进行把握。文章首先指出快速获得政治知识对于青少年政治理念的形成有促进作用(第二段)，然后指出不能过分强调这一重要性(第三段)，因此本题无疑应选[A]。

Text 4

56．[B]。细节题。本题对应的信息位于短文第一句：....has always been tough，but this year…it had reached a new level(进入国内一流私立学校的竞争一向很激烈，但今年伊莉莎白发现这种状况又升级了)，这显然是说今年进入私立学校比往年更难，因此答案是[B]。该句中的tough对应于选项中的hard，而 reach a new level则对应于选项中所用的比较级。其余三项都与原文不符，也无法由短文合理推知。

57．[D]。词句理解题。理解这一句的关键是看Marilyn这个人是在什么样的情况下说这句话的，即要看引语的前一句....an oversupplyof applicants，higher rejection rates(申请者过多，而拒收率也更高)。因此直接引语肯定是补充说明或者迸一步阐述这种情况的。另外，这一句中的two years down the road指的是从现在开始的两年后，含有“提前”之意；而文章主旨谈论的是入学的问题，故spots显然是指能入学的名额。结合这些方面即可知正确答案是[D]。其余三项中，[A]中的parking space指“停车位”，[B]中的use of the place指“使用这个地方”，都属于曲解引语中spots一词的意思；而[B]、[C]两项中的two years ago(两年前)则是曲解了这一句中的two years down the road一处。

58．[C]。分析推理题。题目对应的信息位于第四段。仔细阅读该段并结合短文主旨和常识即不难推知，学校可以挑剔地选择生源的原因当然是学生过多，而学校过少，即[C]项所表达的意思。事实上，该段第二句指出：Schools know…when children are so young(学校也知道，孩子们这么小，要从中挑出一个班来并非易事)，而[A]项中用的则是have no reliable methods(没有可靠的办法)，明显与原文不符；而[B]项虽对应于该段倒数第二句(They also want a diverse mix)，但选项中的boys and girls显然是原文中没有的；至于[D]项，意思是“更愿意招收亲戚的孩子”，在原文中没有提及，根据常识也可排除。

59．[D]。分析推理题。推断的依据是短文最后一段。该段第一句中的worst一词表明了作者的态度，即反对pressure preschoolers to perform(强迫学龄前孩子完成任务)，而后一句则引述专家的话提出相应的建议。所以，作者是反对给孩子们施加不当的压力的，故正确答案是[D]。考生在此要注意，parents should take a breath and look for alternatives的意思是“家长们应当放松下来，寻求别的办法”。

60．[A]。主旨题。通读全文不难发现，短文论述的主要是美国由于学生多而学校少，学龄前儿童人学困难的问题。短文不但说明了现状、分析了原因，还给出了解决这一问题的建议。因此文章的主旨无疑就是“入学难困扰着学龄前儿童及其父母”。对照选项可知，[A]最能概括这一主旨，故最适合作短文标题。其余三项中，[B]项指“私立学校的繁荣”，[C]项指“公立学校存在的问题”，它们都与短文主旨相去甚远；而[D]项指“美国人首要的关注点”，貌似正确，但它所指太泛，并且由常识可知学龄前儿童入学难并非是所有美国人都关注。

Part B

61．一项为时一个月的调查表明，在2001年9月11日世贸中心的恐怖袭击发生后的5～8周中,曼哈顿居民中吸烟、酗酒或大麻的吸食量都增加了。

在句子结构上，本题并不很复杂，它含有一个宾语从句that smoking…2001，其中又含有一个定语从句which took place…2001修饰the terrorist attacks。但句中含有多个介词结构，影响考生理解。among residents of Manhattan和during the five…两个介词结构分别作宾语从句的地点和时间状语，而after后的介词结构则是作the five to eight weeks的后置定语。on the World Trade Center则是修饰the terrorist attacks。在翻译时要进行适当的语序调整，使之合乎中文表达习惯。

62．调查者通过随机拨打纽约市内电话找到参与调查的人，并筛选出住在世贸中心附近地区的曼哈顿居? 民作为潜在的问卷受查人。

在句子结构上，本句不含从句，只包括两个并列谓语(并列句)。考生要注意的是，by randomly…

? phone numbers是前一个谓语的方式状语，而living in areas…则是第二个并列谓语部分中residents的分词? 后置定语。词汇方面，考生应注意screen…for…指“筛选”。

63．那些说自己吸烟量或大麻使用量增加的人有可能患上创伤后应激障碍(PTSD)和忧郁症，而那些说? 自己喝酒量增加的人则更有可能只患上忧郁症。

本句是一个复句，前后两个分句之间为转折关系。在两个分句中各含有一个定语从句修饰people，分别? 说明两种接受调查的人。对于这种不太长的一重定语从句，翻译时简单处理成汉语中的定语即可，难度不大。词汇方面，考生应注意PTSD指的是“创伤后应激障碍(症)”，属于专业术语，如果翻译时把握不大，可以? 直接保留而不用翻译。

64．那些住得离世贸中心较近的人的吸烟量更有可能增加，但一些其他因素，如被迫流离失所、在袭击中? 遭受财产损失或者参与救援工作则并非总会导致违禁品使用量增加。

本题由两个转折关系的分句构成。在前一分句中含有一个定语从句(who were living closer to the? World TrMe Center)，后一分句中应注意主语后有一个for example引出的插入语。词汇方面，displace在本? 句中不是“处置，替代”之意，而是“使离开，使流亡”；substance use指的是“使用(违禁)物品”。

65．人口统计方面的因素，如年龄、婚姻状况和收入对人们在“9·11”事件后是否会增加违禁品使用量这? 方面似乎起着更为关键的作用。

在句子结构上，本题要注意的是if引导的不是条件状语从句，而是determinin9的宾语从句。此外，such? as....表列举，补充说明句子主语Demographic factors。在词汇上，demographic指“(人口)统计上的”；play a? more critical role in指“在…中起着更为关键的作用”，是一个固定搭配。

Section IV? Writing

66．写作要点：

(i)这是一篇中文提纲和表格相结合的写作题。必须包含提纲所给的所有内容或所有要点信息，但不能照提纲翻译或者照搬提纲。

(ii)仔细分析表格，抓住图表主要信息，归纳图表揭示的变化趋势，合理分析变化原因及可能的变化趋势，并且言之有据。

参考范文：

??? As is shown in the table statistics，dramatic changes have taken place in family expenses in the city of Shanghai between l 990 and 2007．The most obvious change is in food and clothing，which has dropped bv 48%，while those on recreation，education and health care have increased respectively by 5%，l6%and l0%．Expenses on other things keep rising from l7%in l990 to 35%in 2007．

So what are actually behind these changesEconomic growth comes first．It increases people’S income，which in turn lowers the percentage of the total income spent on food and clothing．Then comes the change of people’S mind．Well fed and dressed，they begin to pay more attention to 1．ecreation and educatiora? Moreover，they are more aware of the importance of their health．Hence we have the increased expenses on recreation，education and health．?

Besides，the government gradually stopped offering free housing to its citizens．People had to save a large proportion of their money for housin9．That’S partly why the expenses for“others”doubled．

??? In conclusion，the changes reflect the development of the city and indicate that people in China are

enjoying more of their lives．
