　　短文第一篇

　　16. What are scientists trying to explain according to the passage?

　　答案：(A) How being an identical twin influences one’s identify.

　　【點評】：細節(jié)題。本篇文章開頭即指出 ‘they(scientists) are trying to explain how being half of the biological pair influences a twin’s identity.’由此可知科學(xué)家一直試圖想要解釋雙胞胎的身份人格是如何受到影響的。

　　17. What do we learn about the twin Jims?

　　答案：(B) They grew up in different surroundings.

　　【點評】：細節(jié)題。關(guān)鍵詞即是Jim 這個名字。關(guān)于兩個Jim的情況是：他們一直生長在不同家庭，直到39歲才見面。‘… grew up in different families and did not meet for 39 years.’ 他們都結(jié)過兩次婚，第二次婚姻中，妻子都叫貝蒂。‘Both men were married twice… and their second wives were both named Betty.’ 而他們的第一個孩子都是兒子 ‘Both twins named their first sons James Allen.’

　　18. Why are scientists interested in studying identical twins raised in different families?

　　答案：(A) They want to find out the relationship between environment and biology.

　　【點評】：細節(jié)題。通過對兩個Jim的研究， These twins help scientists understand the connection between environment and biology。

　　短文第二篇

　　19. What does the speaker say about camping?

　　答案：(D) It is an inexpensive way of spending a holiday.

　　【點評】：細節(jié)題。文章開頭就說到Camping is still one of the cheapest ways of having a holiday. 這里的“the cheapest way of having a holiday”正好就和選項中的“inexpensive way of spending a holiday”同義互換

　　20. What does the passage tell us about the most popular tent sold in Britain?

　　答案：(B) It consists of an inner and an outer tent

　　【點評】：細節(jié)題。關(guān)鍵主抓“the most popular tent ”。通過這個關(guān)鍵表述，我們可以知道最受歡迎的帳篷有這樣的特色：“The most popular tent… is the frame tent with 2 bedrooms and sleeping accommodation for 4 people. There is usually an outer tent… and a lighter inner tent or tents”。

　　21. What does the speaker suggest buying if you plan to stay camping in one place for more than a few days?

　　答案：(C) A kitchen extension

　　【點評】：細節(jié)題。關(guān)鍵抓住“camping in one place;for more than a few days”。聽力文章最后講到“You can buy a kitchen extension for many tents… plan to stay camping in one place for more than a few days.” 基本就是原文重現(xiàn)。如果在同一地點要旅行多日，則需要一個額外的廚房部分。

　　短文第三篇

　　22. How big does the speaker say Andorra is?

　　點評：事實細節(jié)題，考查同學(xué)們對于數(shù)字的記錄。

　　23. What can be said about Andorra before the 1930s?

　　答案：D. It was cut off from the rest of the world.

　　點評：詞義判斷題，考查同學(xué)們對 “travelers had difficulty in reaching the country”的理解。

　　24. What event changed the situation in Andorra?

　　答案：C. The building of roads connecting it with neighboring countries.

　　點評：事實細節(jié)題，需要同學(xué)們聽到并理解句子“When roads were built from France and Spain to Andorra in the 1930s, life picked up speed.”

　　25. What do most people do in Andorra do nowadays?

　　答案：B. They work in the tourist industry.

　　點評：主旨大意題，從文章中的各個方面，表現(xiàn)出現(xiàn)在安道爾國家的人民大多從事旅游業(yè)。

　　28. caution

　　29. live with

　　30. alternatives

　　33. in need of

　　點評：本文主要表達當(dāng)你在做決定時，應(yīng)該如何有選擇性的聽取他人的意見。整體文章在理解上難度并不大。但在填入單詞或詞組的過程中需要同學(xué)們在拼寫，時態(tài)與詞組的連讀上注意。比如alternatives，in need of等。十個空中，四個詞組，三個名詞，兩個動詞，一個形容詞。詞組難度不大，拼寫也比較方便。關(guān)鍵還是在于同學(xué)們平日的詞匯量的積累。
