11.A
原文:W:Did you use credit cards on your vacation last month in Europe?
M:Sure did.They certainly beat going around with a wallet full of big bills.But carrying lots of cash is still very common among some older people traveling abroad.
Q:What does the man say about some elderly people?
譯文:W:你上個(gè)月在歐洲度假時(shí)用了信用卡嗎?
M:當(dāng)然了。帶著信用卡比揣著滿滿一錢包大票到處走好多了。但是,老年人出國(guó)旅游時(shí)攜帶大量現(xiàn)金還是很常見的。
Q:關(guān)于老人男士說(shuō)了什么?
解析:人物意圖題。男士答語(yǔ)中but及之后的內(nèi)容為答案信息點(diǎn)But carrying lots of cash is still very common among some older people traveling abroad.也就是說(shuō),老年人出國(guó)旅游仍然喜歡攜帶現(xiàn)金,故答案為A。
12.C
原文:W:Rod must be in a bad mood today.What's wrong with him?
M:He was passed over in the selection process for the dean of the Administration's Office.He'd been hoping for the position for a long time.
Q:What does the man mean?
譯文:W:羅德今天一定心情不好。他怎么了?
M:他競(jìng)聘行政辦公室主任的職位,結(jié)果在選舉過(guò)程中被淘汰了。他希望得到這個(gè)職位很久了。
Q:男士的話是什么意思?
解析:原文有一個(gè)短語(yǔ)是難點(diǎn),男士答語(yǔ)中的be passed over意思是“被淘汰”,選項(xiàng)C中的be eliminated與其是同義替換關(guān)系。但即使并不清楚這個(gè)短語(yǔ)的意思,通過(guò)女士說(shuō)“羅德今天心情不好”也可以推知他在選舉中沒有成功。
13.A
原文:M:What a great singer Justin is!His concert is just awesome and you'll never regret the money you paid for the ticket.
W:Yeah,judging by the amount of applause,everyone was enjoying it.
Q:What does the woman mean?
譯文:M:賈斯廷是多么棒的歌手啊!他的演唱會(huì)太精彩了,你絕對(duì)不會(huì)后悔花門票錢。
W:是啊,通過(guò)那么熱烈的掌聲可以判斷,每個(gè)人都喜歡這場(chǎng)演唱會(huì)。
Q:女士的話是什么意思?
解析:這又是一道人物意圖題。男士認(rèn)為歌手賈斯廷非常棒,稱贊他的演唱會(huì)非常精彩,女士也說(shuō)“每個(gè)人都喜歡這場(chǎng)演唱會(huì)”。A選項(xiàng)“這個(gè)演唱會(huì)令人難忘”與原文屬于同義替換。這道題容易錯(cuò)選B,但并不能通過(guò)對(duì)話判斷所有人都喜歡流行音樂(lè)。
14.B
原文:W:I received an email yesterday from Henry.Do you remember he was one of the chairpersons of our Student Union?
M:Yes,but I haven't heard from him for ages.Actually,I have been out of touch with him since our first reunion after graduation.
Q:What do we learn about the speakers?
譯文:W:我昨天收到了亨利的電子郵件。你還記得嗎?他曾經(jīng)是學(xué)生會(huì)的主席。
M:是啊,但我都好多年沒有收到他的信了。事實(shí)上,自從咱們畢業(yè)后的第一次聚會(huì)后我就和他失去聯(lián)系了。
Q:關(guān)于說(shuō)話人我們知道什么?
解析:推斷歸納題。本題難度較大。兩個(gè)人都認(rèn)識(shí)當(dāng)年的學(xué)生會(huì)主席亨利,并且他們還說(shuō)到了our first reunion和graduation等,這說(shuō)明兩個(gè)人認(rèn)識(shí)同樣的人,畢業(yè)后一起聚會(huì)過(guò),所以兩個(gè)人很可能從學(xué)生時(shí)代就認(rèn)識(shí)對(duì)方了。故選項(xiàng)B正確。
15.D
原文:M:Driving at night always makes me tired.Let's stop for dinner.
W:Fine,and let's find a motel so that we can get an early start tomorrow.
Q:What will the speakers probably do?
譯文:M:在夜晚開車總是讓我很疲勞。咱們停下吃晚飯吧。
W:好的,咱們找個(gè)汽車旅館,這樣我們就可以明天早晨早點(diǎn)出發(fā)了。
Q:兩個(gè)說(shuō)話人很可能會(huì)做什么?
解析:通過(guò)選項(xiàng)可判斷該題為動(dòng)作行為題,解題要領(lǐng)是“重點(diǎn)關(guān)注情態(tài)動(dòng)詞和表建議及請(qǐng)求的句型,情態(tài)動(dòng)詞之后、表建議及請(qǐng)求的句型中的動(dòng)作往往為答案,注意動(dòng)作的時(shí)態(tài)和多個(gè)動(dòng)作的順序”。女士說(shuō)道:“let's find a motel”,所以判斷答案是D項(xiàng)“停下來(lái)過(guò)夜”。
16.A
原文:W:Let's look at the survey on consumer confidence we conducted last week.How reliable are these figures?
M:They have a 5% margin of error.
Q:What are the speakers talking about?
譯文:W:讓我們看一下上周做的關(guān)于消費(fèi)者信心的調(diào)查。這些數(shù)據(jù)有多可靠?
M:誤差幅度在百分之五。
Q:說(shuō)話人在談?wù)撌裁?
解析:本題屬于小詞定位題,通過(guò)原文中reliable,figures,margin of error可判斷,兩個(gè)人在討論調(diào)查結(jié)果。
17.D
原文:W:Look at this catalogue John.I think I want to get this red blouse.
M:Eh,I think you already have one like this in blue.Do you need every color in the rainbow?
Q:What does the man mean?
譯文:W:約翰,看看商品目錄。我想買這件紅上衣。
M:呃,我想你有一件藍(lán)色的和這件一樣。你需要買齊彩虹里的每個(gè)顏色嗎?
Q:男士是什么意思?
解析:需要對(duì)男士的話進(jìn)行推斷,男士的“Eh”說(shuō)明心里對(duì)于女士買衣服的不贊成,“你需要買齊彩虹里的每個(gè)顏色嗎”意思是“你實(shí)際并不需要”,也就是說(shuō)這件衣服女士沒必要買。D選項(xiàng)“男士寧愿女士不買這件衣服”與原文相符。
18.C
原文:W:This notice says that all the introductory marketing classes are closed.
M:That can't be true.There are supposed to be 13 of them this semester.
Q:What does the man mean?
譯文:W:這個(gè)通知說(shuō)市場(chǎng)營(yíng)銷入門課程停了。
M:不可能是真的。這學(xué)期應(yīng)該有13節(jié)課呢。
Q:男士是什么意思?
解析:女士稱通知說(shuō)市場(chǎng)營(yíng)銷入門課程停了,而男士說(shuō)That can't be true,后面又給出了原因,也就是說(shuō)男士的意思是通知是不可信的。
