He really should shave himself every other day at least and put on something clean.Q: What do we learn about Shawn?答案：A. He is car

2、eless about his appearance.解析：男生首先对肖恩能否找到工作表示怀疑，因为他邋遢。女生接着提到肖恩不修边幅，又说他应该每隔一天刮一次胡子，把自己弄得整洁干净一点。由此可知，肖恩是一个对仪容仪表不太注重，比较粗线条的人shave，刮胡子；be careless about不在乎，不介意；12.W: I wish Jane would call when she know shell be late. This is not the first time weve had to wait for her.M: I agree. But she does have to d

3、rive through very heavy traffic to get here.Q: What does the man imply?答案：A. Jane maybe caught in a traffic jam.解析：本题是推理题，在做题时要注意仔细推敲。女生说：“Jane已经不是第一次迟到让我们等了，我希望她能事先打电话告诉我们一下”，可见女生对Jane迟到的作法是不满的。男生又说：“I agree. But she does have to drive through very heavy traffic to get here.”（我同意。但是她到这里的确要遭受很拥堵的交通。

4、）由此得出，男生对此事的态度是理解或宽容的。Jane可能被堵在半路了。13.M: Congratulations! I heard your baseball team is going to the Middle Atlantic Championship.W: Yeah, were all working real hard right now!Q: What is the womans team doing?答案：A. Training for the Mid-Atlantic Championship.解析：对话开头男生提到女生所在的棒球队要参加Mid-Atlantic Champio

5、nship.女生说：“were all working real hard right now!”（我们现在正紧锣密鼓地练习呢！）由此可知，女生所在的棒球队正在进行赛前训练。此题还有一个迷惑选项B, Making preparations for a trans-Atlantic trip,必须注意的是：这里并不是准备旅行，而是准备参赛。14.W: Johns been looking after his mother in the hospital. She was injured in a car accident two weeks ago and still in critical c

6、ondition.M: Oh, thats terrible. And you know his father passed away last year.Q: What do we learn about John?答案：D. He has been having a hard time.解析：根据听力原文可知，“Johns mother is in the hospital and his father died last year.”（约翰的母亲出车祸住院了，父亲两年前也过世了）由此可见，John的近况还是蛮悲惨的；答案也就显而易见了。15.M: What a boring speake

7、r! I can hardly stay awake.W: Well, I dont know. In fact, I think its been a long time since Ive heard anyone is good.Q: What do we learn from the conversation?答案：D The woman thinks highly of the speaker解析：根据听力原文可知，男生觉得演讲无趣，女生却很淡定地说：“其实我已经很久没有听到那么好的发言了”。由此可见，女生对发言还是很肯定的。选项D中“thinks highly of”即“对评价高”

8、，故D是正确答案。16.W: Im having a lot of trouble with logic and it seems my professor cant explain it in a way that makes sense to me.M: You know, there is a tutoring service on campus. I was about to drop statistics before they helped me out.Q: What does the man mean?答案：C. The woman should seek help from

9、tutoring services.解析：首先女生说她逻辑学得很辛苦，接受不了老师的讲课方式也理解不了课程内容。而后男生说学校有辅导班，他在参加之前几乎要挂科了，辅导班帮了他大忙。言下之意是推荐女生也去上辅导班。17.M: This is a stylish overcoat. I saw you wearing it last week, didt I?W: Oh, that wasnt me. That was my sister Jill. Shes in your class.Q: What does the woman mean?答案：C. Jill wore the overcoa

10、t last week.解析：首先男生问女生上周是否穿过拉风外套，然后女生说：“ That was my sister Jill. Shes in your class.”（那是我姐姐Jill，她和你同班）也就是说男生很有可能看到的那个穿着拉风外套的人是女生的姐姐Jill。18.M: Jane, suppose you lost all your money while taking a vacation overseas, what would you do?W: Well, I guess Id sell my watch or computer or do some odd jobs t

11、ill I could afford a return plane ticket.Q: What are the speakers talking about?答案：B. An imaginary situation.解析：根据原文录音可知，对话开头男生讲到：“Jane, suppose you lost all your money while taking a vacation overseas, what would you do? ”这里的suppose表明“假定、料想”由此可见，两人谈论的是一个虚拟场景。 Conversation One听力原文M: Hello, professor

12、 Johnson.W: Hello, Tony. So what shall we work on today?M: Well, the problem is that this writing assignment isnt coming out right. What I thought I was writing on was to talk about what particular sport means to me when I participate in,W: What sport did you choose?M: I decided to write about cross

13、-country skiing.W: What are you going to say about skiing?M: Thats the problem. I thought I would write about how peaceful it is to be out in the country.W: So why is that a problem?M: As I start describing how quiet it is to be out in the woods. I keep mentioning how much effort it takes to keep go

14、ing. Cross-country skiing isnt as easy as some people think. It takes a lot of energy, but thats not part of my paper. So I guess I should leave it out. But now I dont know how to explain that feeling of peacefulness without explaining how hard you have to work for it. It all fits together. Its not

15、like just sitting down somewhere and watching the clouds roll by. Thats different.W: Then youll have to include that in your point. The peacefulness of cross-country skiing is the kind you earn by effort. Why leave that out? Part of your point you knew before hand but part you discovered as you wrot

16、e. Thats common, right?M: Yeah, I guess so.Q19: What is the topic of the mans writing assignment?C) Pain and pleasure in sportsQ20: What problem does the man have while working on his paper?D) He cant decide whether to include the effort part of skiing.Q21: What does the woman say is common in writi

17、ng papers?A) New ideas come up as you write.19. D) A sport he participates in解析：题目问的是，男生论文的主题是什么，从talk about what particular sport means to me when I participate in一句中，可得对应选项D。C选项是一个干扰项，pain and pleasure in sports, 意为运动中的痛苦与快乐，其中sports一词范围太大，对话中只谈到了cross-country skiing, 因此，C选项错。20. D) He cant decide

18、 whether to include the effort part of skiing.解析：当男生打算将越野滑雪的艰辛剔除出论文时，教授说了一句“Then youll have to include that in your point.”对应选项D21. A) New ideas come up as you write.解析：在对话的最后，教授提到“Part of your point you knew before hand but part you discovered as you wrote. Thats common, right?”这句话意思是说，在写论文之前，论点的一部

19、分我们已经有了，但另一部分在写的过程中才会发现，因此，对应选项A。A选项与D选项较易混淆，但从教授的话中，我们可以看出，不是论点发生变化，而是在写作过程中，会有新的想法产生。这篇长对话因为是围绕论文写作展开，而且涉及了一项我们中国人并不熟悉的运动，越野滑雪，因此，乍听之下，有些小抽象，小陌生。但细听之后，我们会发现，文中有一大段都提到了男生在写作中遇到的纠结处，那就是越野滑雪的畅快和由此所付出的艰辛，文章的主旨自然呼之欲出了。这篇对话主要考察对文章大意的理解，而不是纠结于一词一句的得失，因此，大家在做题时，也要注意把握主干，不要因为听到了一个自己不太熟悉的运动就舍本逐末。 Conversati

28、ant to come back. 可见，Angeleno会提供尽可能新鲜的食物和舒适的用餐环境以吸引顾客，因此，对应选项B，也许，有童鞋会问，为什么不选C？注意，C选项是指各种各样的食物，与文意中“新鲜的食物”不符，是错误选项。这篇对话是一篇较为简单的访谈节目，主要涉及一些细节问题，其中，关键细节包括餐馆经营情况，广告宣传情况等，也是考点所在。童鞋们在听时，可以相应地做些简单的笔记，从而准确地选出选项。 Section BPassage OneThere are many commonly held beliefs about eye glasses and eyesight that ar
