WhatmaybetheadvantageforLansingCommunityCollege?
[解析]新闻开头列举了影响学生选择大学的因素,然后用转折引出另一种因素“退回学费”,并说Lansing
CommunityCollege就是有提供这一福利给学生,D项复现原词money-backguarantee,故选D项。
新闻确实有提到离家距离远近影响学生择校,但这并不是LansingCommunityCollege的优点,排除A、B项。
C项“良好的学术声望”没有在新闻中提到。
A.Nearly12percent.√
B.Morethan12percent.
C.Lessthan10percent.
D.Nearly10percent.
解析:
[听力原文]
WhatistheunemploymentrateinMichigan?
[解析]根据新闻的最后一句话,可知密歇根州的失业率接近12%。
故A项正确。
预读选项可知只有两个数据,听音时还应特别注意与这两个数据相关的信息。

WhataretheAustralianssufferingfrom?
[解析]新闻中指出澳大利亚东北部的昆士兰州正在抵御强烈的飓风,澳大利亚人正在与飓风抗争。
所以正确答案是A项。
新闻中谈到昆士兰最近刚遭受过洪灾,但这并不是当前的灾难,排除D项“洪灾”。
B项“长时间的炎热天气”和C项“毁灭性的地震”均没有在新闻中提到。
A.HeavyrainshavenstrokeQueenslandforalongtime.
B.PeopleinQueenslandhavedonesomepreparationforit.√
C.Therewasnoreportsaboutpeoplesmissingorinjury.
D.Thebadweathermaybetoughforcouples.
解析:
[听力原文]
WhatcanwelearnaboutYasifromthenews?
[解析]新闻中指出,昆士兰州几天前就发出了飓风的预警,因此灾民有时间提前为灾害做准备(hadsome
timetogetready)。
B项“昆士兰民众已经为抗击飓风做了准备”正确。
新闻中提到,昆士兰州听得很耳熟,因为它不久前刚刚遭遇洪水,A项与新闻内容相反。
C项“无人员失踪或受伤的报道”在原文中并没有提到。
新闻中讲的是一名官员称,这将是艰难的几天,D项利用couple一词制造干扰。

WhatisthemedianageinIndia?
[解析]新闻中提到印度人年龄的中位数(medianage)是27岁,故选A项。
新闻中几处提到年龄问题,应注意辨别。
B项是印度年轻人可以选举的年龄,C项是美国人年龄中位数。
A.Theyrefusetorealizetheirpoliticalpower.
B.Theyhopetogoabroadforfurtherstudy.
C.Theyhavepowertodecidethenewgovernment.√
D.TheyfavorthecurrentCongressparty.
解析:
[听力原文]
WhatcanwelearnabouttheyoungpeopleinIndia?
[解析]新闻中提到,印度年轻人18岁就有投票权,而由于他们占了总人口的半数,他们的投票意向会决定国家的未来,即哪个政党执政,故C项“他们有权力决定新政府”为答案。
新闻中只是说年满18岁就可以行使政治权力(politicalpower),并没有提到年轻人是否会拒绝行使这权力,A项“他们拒绝行使政治权力”无法得知。
B项“他们希望到国外深造”没有在新闻中提到。
新闻末尾提到,现在的执政党LedOne产生诸多问题,年轻人会选其他政党,故D项“他们支持现在的执政党”错误。
A.Theunemploymentrateishigh.
B.Thehousemarketbreaksdown.
C.Thefrustratedpoliticalsituation.
D.Pricesofgoodsrisesharply.√
解析:
[听力原文]
WhatisthecurrentlargesteconomicprobleminIndia?
[解析]问题询问的是印度现在最大的经济问题,新闻中提到(priceshaverisensharply),并举了油价的例子,因此答案是D项。
A项“就业率低”和B项“房市崩溃”均没有在新闻中提到。
新闻提到当前印度的政治状况明显堪忧,政府无法解决通货膨胀问题,但题目问的是经济问题,排除C项。

Whatisthewomandoing?
根据选项推测本题问的是一位女士在做某事。
女士一开始就说欢迎来到本周的商务世界,这是一个]解析[
关于商务人士并且为商务人士提供服务的节目。
据此我们可以判断女士是这一节目的主持人,因此选D。
A“修理自行车”、B“做市场调查”及C“做商业管理的演讲”在女士的话中完全没有提及。
对话开头便出现了关键词program,符合长对话“听到什么选什么”的原则。
A.Heworkedasasalesman.√
B.Hecoachedinaracingclub.
C.Herepairedbicycles.
D.Heservedasaconsultant.
解析:
[听力原文]
WhatdidMr.Kaynedobeforehetookoverthebicycleshop?
[解析]通过选项内容结合其所用的过去时态判断本题问男士过去的职业。
男士说他在一家大公司作全职销售的时候很少有时间享受自己的爱好。
由此判断他在开自行车店前是一名销售员,故应选A。
B、D无中生有,C是根据对话中的男士说喜欢修理自行车(fixing)而设置的干扰。
A.Hefounditmoreprofitable.
B.Hewantedtobehisownboss.√
C.Hedidnwanttostartfromscratch.
D.Hedidnwanttobeintoomuchdebt.
解析:
[听力原文]
Whydidthemantakeoverabicycleshop?
[解析]通过选项判断会问男士做某事的原因。
男士提到当他从银行得到贷款,他知道自己喜欢当自己的老板。
因此选B。
本题B复现了原文beinghisownboss,符合长对话“听到什么选什么”的原则。
其他三项均为无中生有,注意C中的词组startfromscratch意为“从零开始”。
A.Theyareallthemansfriends.√
B.Theyworkfivedaysaweek.
C.Theyarepaidbythehour.
D.Theyallenjoygambling.
解析:
[听力原文]
Whatdowelearnaboutthepeopleworkingintheshop?
[解析]当女士问他是否雇人帮忙的时候,他回答说有几个和他一样喜欢自行车的朋友一个星期会来帮几天忙,可知在店里帮忙的都是男士的朋友,故应选A。
B的fivedaysaweek过于具体,原话只说是afewdays;C中的paidbythehour无中生有;D的gambling过度推断,对话仅说他们有时会在一起打扑克,不能说明他们好赌。
