5、o some farmers refuse to move to emergency shelters? 解析 新闻中描写了火山附近居民在灾害发生之前的不同行为，有些人已经撤离到紧急的安全棚内，有些人等候政府的卡车把他们载到安全的地方，但也有一些人考虑到灾后的生计问题而拒绝离开，希望政府能在此之前给他们一些经济支持(until the government offers financial help)。所以选C项。A项“等待卡车将他们送到安全的地方”是火山爆发前另外一些人的做法。B项“他们想一睹火山爆发的奇观”和D项“他们认为火山灰有利于作物生长”均没有在新闻中提到。 A.Many peopl

D.There has been one village being buried by ash. 解析：听力原文 What do we learn from the news report? 解析 新闻中提到在距离火山约三公里处，至少已有一个村庄被火山灰掩埋(has been covered)，D项。has bee

7、n buried是对原文的同义改写，故选D项。部分农民拒绝撤离，因为没有了农作物和牲畜他们将无以为生，他们希望政府给予经济支持，而不是想带着农作物和牲畜一起离开，A项错误。B项“政府将提供经济援助”没有在新闻中提到。科学家告诉BBC说已确认Merapi处于爆发早期阶段，但仍不能预测到火山爆发的高潮时间，C项与新闻内容不符。 Questions 3 and 4 will be based on the following news item.

11、y. Where would these two and a half tons of peppers be sold? 解析 新闻提到，巴勒斯坦官员声称，2.5吨辣椒经加尼入口已离开加沙并将在以色列出售(will be sold in Israel)，故答案为C项。本段新闻的难点之一就是其中出现了很多考生并不熟悉的地理名称，所以平时应积累一些相关的背景知识，对考试非常有帮助。A项的“巴勒斯坦”是这些辣椒的出口国，B项“加沙”是辣椒的种植地，而D项“欧洲”是他们接下来进行贸易销售的地区。 A.They occupied them by force. B.Jewish left them to
