[解析]录音开头就概括了新闻报道的主要内容，如果没听清此句，也可从后文的具体分析中知道。
新闻先是提到，欧盟将调查加拿大残忍猎杀海豹的情况，接着提到，它面临的选择之一就是禁止从加拿大进口海豹产品，进而又提到，欧盟以往在这方面采取的措施以及碰到的困难，因此B为正确答案。
[点睛]主旨大意题。
选项A只是局部信息，而C未提及，因此都错误；
新闻提到可能会禁止向加拿大进口海豹产品，但他们尚未立即考虑此事，故D错误。
第2题

AItmightaffecthuntersandtheircommunities.
BItmightdestroyfreetradewithinELI.
CItmightinviteretaliationfromCanada.
DItmightbecriticizedbyanimalactivists.
A
[解析]新闻中提到，欧盟自1983起就开始禁止进口小诲豹皮毛，但更大范围禁止进口海豹产品可能对猎人及其社区造成严重影响，因为他们很大程度上依赖捕捉海豹谋生，因此A为正确答案。
[点睛]推理判断题。
①预读选项可知题目考查欧盟对加大禁止进口海豹产品的主要顾虑，听时应抓住相关细节。
②选项B和C未提及；
D不符合逻辑，因此错误。

[解析]新闻提到，萨科奇将在用完私人午餐和参观完王室收藏中展示英法关系史的物品后，前往威斯敏斯特教堂一位
尤名战上的墓地敬献花圈，因此C为正确答案。
[点睛]事实此节题。
①读题时应注意相关地点与活动的匹配。
②根据新闻内容，选项A时萨科奇将在皇家画廊进行的活动；
B是他将在温莎进行的活动；
D项纯属干扰题，新闻提到查尔斯夫妇到希斯罗机场迎接萨科奇夫妇，这与问题风马牛不相及，故可排除。
第4题
WhichofthefollowingindicatestheexactsequenceoftheplacesSarkozywillvisit?
AWindsorCastie—WestminsterAbby—RoyalGallery
BRoyalGallery—WestminsterAbby—WindsorCastle
CWestminsterAbby—WindsorCastle—RoyalGallery
DWestminsterAbby—RoyalGallery—WindsorCastle
D
[解析]新闻后半部分提到，萨科奇将到威斯敏斯特教堂向烈士敬献花圈，然后在皇家画廊向议会两院发表演讲，此后将在温莎堡享用国宴，可见D为正确答案。
[点睛]事实细节题。
预读题干可知题目考查萨科出访行程的安排，注意新闻中表示顺序的衔接词，例如after，later，followedby等，这些词之后的信息常是答案之处。

1.7分
[定位]根据题干中的NCLBmainlyaimedto定位到第3段。
[解析]文章第3段第1句提到大多数政客认为NCLB法案的目标是正确的，该目标就是破折号后的内容。
选项C是原文的同义改写，故选C。
[点睛]细节题。
选项A的内容与原文该段第2句意思相近，B对应第3句内容，D对应最后一句，但它们都属于thegoals的具体做法，故A、B、D均不能选。
Theword"
sanctions"
inthethirdparagraphmeans
Aapproval.
Bpunishment.
Csupport.
Ddecree.
[定位]题干已给出定位在第3段。
[解析]文章指出，要面对sanctions的对象是没有取得“一定年度进步”以达到教育标准的学校，因此，sanction在此应理解为“制裁，惩罚”，B项punishment的词义与它相近，因此选B。
[点睛]词汇理解题。
根据sanctions所在的倒数第2句句首的donotmake…progress可推断sanciton在此应为贬义，据此可排除表褒义的A和C；
而D项decree为“颁布”，属中性词。
WhichofthefollowingisNOTaweaknessofNCLB?
AThelawhasbeenproperlyfunded.
BOnlyafewpupilsinbedschoolstransfer.
CThetestsarefocusedonnothingbutmathsandreading.
DThetestsactuallyencourage"
.
[定位]根据题干中的aweakness定位到第4段。
[解析]原文该段第4句表明NCLB缺少足够的资金（lacksproperfunding），选项A的意思与原文相反，故A为答案。
选项B、C、D是原文该段2、3句的同义改写，属于weaknessofNCLB，故均可排除。
