Section BPassage OnePamela Royal and her partner,Edith Clark,are the owners of the Sea View Hotel in Brighton.As much of their business is seasonal,they do a good deal of the work themselves. In order to make a profit,it is necessary to keep down the cost of extra staff.Although they will never make a fortune,for the last ten years they have carned a reasonable living from the hotel.They work extremely well together and each has her own duties.In general,Pamela does the book keeping.She is excellent with figures and seldom makes a mistake.She also takes care of the decorations,particularly the flower arranging,which is her hobby.Edith,on the other hand,makes all the staff arrangements,and when necessary does the cooking.She is a very patient woman,and if guests make complaints she tries her best to solve their problem.However, the two ladies do not do all the work themselves.They usually employ college students to do the cleaning and the washing up.Bob Albert,who is a retired policeman,goes in two hours a day to do the gardening,or take care of the swimming pool. Both ladies are very popular. They believe in having an informal relationship with the guests,and often make friends with their regular visitors.Last month was their tenth anniversary in Brighton,and they had a dinner with their friends to celebrate.Pamela gave a speech and everyone wished them loads of success for the future.11.How do Pamela and Edith manage to keep down the cost of the hotel?12.What jobs in the hotel are given to the college students?13.Why are the two ladies popular in the area? Passage TwoSome people dream of being President of the United States.Some dream of becomingstars in a Hollywood movie,and others of making millions of dollars overnight.But, could a dream like that come true in real life?Well,it did happen to Peter Johnson.Peter was an auto mechanic.One day,he walked into the Union Trust Bank in Baltimore and took 5,000 dollars that did not belong to him.The guards and other employees stood back and let him stuff the bills in his shirt and pants without tryingto prevent him from taking the money.No one tripped an alarm.No one pulled a gun.No one called the police.Why did they allow him to get away with it?Well, everything was legal. Peter had won a contest promoted by a Baltimore radio station. The first prize entited him to enter the Union Trust bank and gather up as much money as he could lay his hands within five minutes. Because he could not bring any large bags or boxes into the bank,all the money had to be placed in his pockets.As the time went by, Peter ran about wildly,trying to pick up as many large bills as he could find.When his time was up,he was out of breath,but was $5,000 richer.14.Why did Peter go the Union Trust Bank?15.What was Peter's job?16.What did the guards do when Peter started gathering the money?17.Why didn't Peter take more money from the bank? Passage ThreeLarry Smith is one of the rescuers on the Golden Gate Bridge.His job is to save people who attempt to jump into the sea.If the telephone rings at three in the morning,he knows it's trouble.Someone is threatening to commit suicide. Larry will get his things ready,and in no time he'll be out the door and heading to the spot."If you aren't too late,"Larry says,"you climb out onto the cold steel and try to talk to the poor soul,and pull him or her back to safety.For many suicide attempts are made on the spur of the moment,and lives can be saved.But if you fail,if the person jumps into the bottomless pool,there's no describing how helpless s you feel.Often,would-be jumpers are driven to despair and see no hope out of their misery.The trick is to open channels of communication with them.Following are some tricks that have worked:‘If you're going to jump,at least give me your mom's phone number so I can call and tell her.'or‘That's a nice watch.If you're going to jump,can I have it?'Sometimes,all it takes is the voice of the human being who cares."Larry estimates he has rescued about thirty people in his ten years of service. 18.What is Larry's job?19.What is happening if Larry's phone rings at 3 o'clock in the morning?20.What does Larry Smith usually do to stop someone from jumping off the bridge?This is the end of listening comprehension.1-5 DACBC 6-10 ABCBA11-15 DCCDC 16-20 ADADB Part Ⅰ Listening Comprehension Section A1．【答案】D【分析】這是一個推斷題。男士不知鮑勃怎么還沒到，就問女士該給鮑勃打電話還是去尋找他。女士認為鮑勃可能遇到交通堵塞，就說"Let's give him a few more minutes"，建議多等一會兒。結(jié)合上下文很易于推斷出答案。 2．【答案】A【分析】這是一個細節(jié)題。男士問蘇珊結(jié)婚后打算在哪兒住，蘇珊回答說想住城中上班近（to live in the downtown area near my work）。顯然A是正確答案。3．【答案】C【分析】這是一個推斷題。男士說想買一本富蘭克林教授有關美國文化的書。女士回答說這書已脫銷一段時間了。談話地點當然是書店。4．【答案】B【分析】這是一個理解題。女士說她把鑰匙鎖屋里了，不知該怎么辦。男士雖然話中稍有責備，但還是深明事理，建議一起平靜地想對策（let's calm down and try to figure things out）。5．【答案】C【分析】這是一個細節(jié)題。首先要注意到這樣一個細節(jié)"so we don't have to do the spelling on the phone"。其次是要聽清楚問題（What are the speakers doing?）。6．【答案】A【分析】這是一個理解題。其實只要聽出"I want to buy some food for the picnic"，結(jié)合選項就可以得出答案。7．【答案】B【分析】這也是一個理解題。聽出"Registration for students whose last names begin with ‘W 'doesn't start until tomorrow"十分關鍵。8．【答案】C【分析】這是一個推斷題，也是一個理解題。男士想了解紐約的天氣情況，女士告之了紐約的天氣情況之后，還建議男士不打算久呆的話不必多帶衣服。因此很容易得出答案C。9．【答案】B【分析】這是一個推斷題。女士抱怨說箱子里都放了些什么，根本沒有玩具，問男士把玩具放哪兒了。男士一看不是自己的箱子，因此認為一定是就餐時被旁邊的老太太誤拿了（The old lady must have taken ours by mistake）。10．【答案】A【分析】這是一個理解題。聽清楚問句十分重要（Are you really leaving for Hong Kong tomorrow morning?）。而且下文還有補充信息"I just can't wait to see Bill there"。所以容易得出答案A。 Section B Passage One【內(nèi)容梗概】Pamela Royal 和 Edith Clark一起開了一家海景酒店。為了有利可圖，她們竭力降低成本，比如親自干活，少雇人，只偶爾雇傭大學生等。而且還和客人保持一定程度的友好關系。因此兩人在當?shù)睾苁軞g迎。11．【答案】D【分析】這是一個細節(jié)理解題。只要聽出"In order to make a profit, it is necessary to keep down the cost of extra staff"，再加上上下文信息就可以得出答案D。
12．【答案】C【分析】這也是一個細節(jié)理解題。聽出了"They usually employ college students to do the cleaning and the washing up"，就能很容易地得出答案C。13．【答案】C【分析】這是一個理解題。問題是兩位女士為什么在當?shù)睾苁軞g迎，根據(jù)文中有如下語句"Both ladies are very popular. They believe in having an informal relationship with the guests, and often make friends with their regular visitors"。對照選項顯然答案為C。Passage Two【內(nèi)容梗概】不同的人有不同的夢想。人人都渴望自己美夢成真。文中談到一個叫做彼得·約翰遜的人，在一個電臺節(jié)目中獲了頭獎，確實美夢成真，可以在某一規(guī)定的時間內(nèi)走進一家銀行愿拿多少錢就拿多少錢而不受任何干涉。遺憾的是他最后只拿到了5千美元。14．【答案】D【分析】這是一個細節(jié)題。前文詳述了他如何拿錢而不受干涉，接著說明"The first prize entitled him to enter the Union Trust Bank and gather up as much money as he could lay his hands within five minutes"，故選D。15．【答案】C【分析】這也是一個細節(jié)題。不過涉及這個題的語句簡短而一閃而過，也不與文中其他部分有聯(lián)系，完全要依賴聽出它"Peter was an auto mechanic"。16．【答案】A【分析】這是一個細節(jié)推斷題。既可以根據(jù)文中細節(jié)"The guards and other employees stood back and let him stuff the bills in his shirt and pants without trying to prevent him from taking the money"，也可以根據(jù)全文信息結(jié)構(gòu)推斷出答案A。17．【答案】D【分析】這是一個細節(jié)題。文中有這樣的語句"The first prize entitled him to enter the Union Trust Bank and gather up as much money as he could lay his hands within five minutes. Because he could not bring any large bags or boxes into the bank, all the money had to be placed in his pockets"；可得知受到了時間和荷包大小的限制，得出答案D。Passage Three【內(nèi)容梗概】Larry Smith是金門橋的救生員。他的工作就是救護在此落?；蛱５娜?。一旦半夜有電話打來，他就知道麻煩來了。多年的經(jīng)驗已使他掌握了一些救護策略。18．【答案】A【分析】這是一個主旨題。這個問題所涉及到的內(nèi)容既是文章開篇第一句話"Larry Smith is one of the rescuers on the Golden Gate Bridge"，又是本文的主題思想。19．【答案】D【分析】這是一個細節(jié)推理題。文中提到"If the telephone rings at three in the morning, he knows it's trouble. Someone is threatening to commit suicide"，結(jié)合本文主題就可以得出答案D。20．【答案】B【分析】這是一個細節(jié)歸納題。文中已有一個語句"They trick is to open channels of communication with them"，再結(jié)合下文相關語句，可以知道Larry Smith通常采取和對方交流的方法。故選B。
