Section BPassage OneOne of the greatest heartbreaks for fire fighters occurs when they fail to rescue a child f

18、rom a burning building because the child, frightened by smoke and noise, hides under a bed or in a closet and is later found dead. Saddest of all is when children catch a glimpse of the masked fire fighter but hide because they think they have seen a monster. To prevent such tragedies, fire fighter

19、Eric Velez gives talks to children in his community, explaining that they should never hide during a fire. He displays fire fighters equipment, including the oxygen mask, which he encourages his listeners to play with and put on. “If you see us,” Velez tells them, “dont hide! We are not monsters. We

20、 have come to rescue you.” Velez gives his presentations in English and Spanish. Growing up in San Francisco, he learnt Spanish from his immigrant parents. Velez and other fire fighters throughout North America, who give similar presentations, will never know how many lives they save through their t

21、alks. But its a fact that informative speaking saves lives. For example, several months after listening to an informative speech, Pete Gentry in North Carolina rescued his brother who is choking on food, by using the method taught by student speaker, Julie Paris. In addition to saving lives, informa

22、tive speakers help people learn new skills, solve problems and acquire fascinating facts about the exciting world in which they live.26 Why do some children trapped in a burning building hide from masked fire fighters?27 What does the passage tell us about fire fighter Eric Velez?28 What do we learn

23、 about Pete Gentry?29 What message is the speaker trying to convey?Passage TwoSome people want to make and save a lot of money in order to retire early. I see people pursuing higher paying and increasingly demanding careers to accomplish this goal. They make many personal sacrifices in exchange for

24、income today. The problem is that tomorrow might not come. Even if it all goes according to plan, will you know how to be happy when you are not working if you spend your entire life making money? More importantly, who will be around for you to share your leisure time with? At the other extreme are

25、people who live only for today. Why bother saving when I might not be here tomorrow, they argue. The danger of this approach is that tomorrow may come after all. And most people don't want to spend all their tomorrows working for a living. The earlier neglect of saving, however, makes it difficu

26、lt not to work when you are older. You maybe surprise to hear me say that if you must pick an extreme I think it's better to pick the spend-all approach. As long as you don't mind continuing to work, assuming your health allows, you should be OK. At least, you are making use of your money, a

27、nd hopefully deriving value and pleasure from it. Postponing doing what you love and being with people you love until retirement can be a mistake. It may never come. Retirement can be a great time for some people. For others, it is a time of boredom, loneliness and poor health.30 Why do some people

28、pursue higher paying but demanding careers?31 What is the danger facing people who live only for today?32 What does the speaker seem to advocate?Passage ThreeImagine that someone in your neighborhood broke the law, and the judge put the whole neighborhood under suspicion. How fair will that be? Well

29、, it happens everyday to high schoolers. Just because some students have stolen things in shops, all of us are treated like thieves. Even though Id never steal.Store employees looked at me like Im some kind of hardened criminal. For example, during one lunch period, my friend Denny and I went to the

30、 Graben Gore Restaurant to have a hot dog. We arrived to find a line of students waiting outside. A new sign in the window told the story. “No more than two students at a time”. After 15 minutes, we finally got in. But the store manger laid the evil eye on us. I asked him about the new sign, and he

31、said, “You kids are stealing too much stuff.” You kids? Too much stuff? We were not only assumed to be thieves, but brilliant, greedy thieves. The most annoying thing though, is the way employees watched my friends and me. Its horrible.Once, at a drug store, I was looking around and found a guy stan

32、ding on a large box, stocking the shelves. He was watching my hands, more than he was watching his own. I showed him that my hands were empty. He got down off his box and rushed off, as if he was going to get the store manger. How crazy is that!33. What does the speaker find to be unfair?34. What me

33、asure did the Graben Gore Restaurant take to stop stealing?35. What happened in a drug store that greatly annoyed the speaker? Section CWriting keeps us in touch with other people. We write to communicate with relatives and friends. We write to preserve our family histories so our children and grand

34、children can learn and appreciate their heritage. With computers and Internet connections in so many households, colleges, and businesses, people are e-mailing friends and relatives all the time - or talking to them in writing in online chat rooms. It is cheaper than calling long distance, and a lot

35、 more convenient than waiting until Sunday for the telephone rates to drop. Students are e-mailing their professors to receive and discuss their classroom assignments and to submit them. They are e-mailing classmates to discuss and collaborate on homework. They are also sharing information about con

36、certs and sports events, as well as jokes and their philosophies of life.Despite the growing importance of computers, however, there will always be a place and need for the personal letter. A hand-written note to a friend or a family member is the best way to communicate important thoughts. No matte

What do we learn about the woman?【答案】D She was a witness to the cr

45、ime.【解析】文中男士需要女士描述一下?lián)尳巽y行的人（describe the man who robbed the bank）。選項(xiàng)中B提到了robbery，但是對(duì)話中沒有說(shuō)明女士是受害者（victim）；D選項(xiàng)提到了她目擊了某個(gè)犯罪經(jīng)過，robbery顯然是crime的一種。20. What did the suspect look like?【答案】A A tall man with dark hair and a moustache.【解析】原文中提到The man was tall, six foot, and he had dark hair, and he had moustac

46、he.，對(duì)應(yīng)選項(xiàng)A。21. What did the man finally asked the woman to do?【答案】A Identify the suspect from pictures.【解析】對(duì)話結(jié)尾處，男士要求女士look at some photographs，很顯然，他的目的是讓女士通過照片來(lái)辨別嫌疑人。因此選擇A。22. How did the woman get to know about the job vacancy?【答案】A By reading a newspaper ad.【解析】 job vacancy指空缺的職位。在對(duì)話一開始，女士就說(shuō)到她的目的：

47、Im calling about the job that was in the paper last night.從這句話中可以看出她得知職位信息的來(lái)源是the paper last night，對(duì)應(yīng)A選項(xiàng)。23. Why did the woman find the job appealing?【答案】B She could work close to her family.【解析】本題關(guān)鍵詞是appealing，意為引起興趣的。女士提到她喜歡這份工作的原因是be near to the family.，close是near的同義替換詞，因此選擇B選項(xiàng)。24. What had the w

48、oman been doing in Geneva?【答案】C Working as a secretary.【解析】女士提到她在日內(nèi)瓦做了一些secretarial work，也就是選項(xiàng)C中的secretary。雖然她也提到之前在大學(xué)學(xué)習(xí)，但是她取得的學(xué)位是a degree in English，而非選項(xiàng)D中的a degree in French.25. What was the woman asked to do in the end?【答案】C Send in a written application as soon as possible.【解析】對(duì)話中女士希望得到面試機(jī)會(huì)，但是男士

49、要求先要遞交書面申請(qǐng)（reply a writing to the advertisement），并不是所有人都能得到面試機(jī)會(huì)，因此選擇答案C。Section B第一篇答案26 Why do some children trapped in a burning building hide from masked fire fighters?【解析】D) They mistake the firefighters for monsters.細(xì)節(jié)題，從開始when children catch a glimpse of the masked fire fighter but hide becaus

50、e they think they have seen a monster一句中便可得出因?yàn)椴皇煜は廊藛T戴面具的形象，孩子們以為來(lái)救援的消防人員是怪獸，所以躲起來(lái)。所以選D。其他選項(xiàng)文中都沒有涉及到。 27 What does the passage tell us about fire fighter Eric Velez?【解析】B) He often teaches children what to do during a fire.本篇文章大篇幅講的是Eric Velez給社區(qū)里的孩子講解消防知識(shí)，讓他們熟悉消防人員及消防工具的過程。選項(xiàng)A，put out fire雖然是Eric V

51、elez的工作，但是本文重點(diǎn)不是在其消防員救活這個(gè)工作上，C、D選項(xiàng)很容易就可以排除。所以選B。28 What do we learn about Pete Gentry?【解析】A) He saved the life of his brother choking on food.細(xì)節(jié)題，從Pete Gentry in North Carolina rescued his brother who is choking on food一句便可得出答案，文章中關(guān)于Pete Gentry的主要信息就是他救了噎著食物的弟弟。所以選A。做題時(shí)一定要把人名及其所做的事準(zhǔn)確對(duì)應(yīng)起來(lái)。29 What mes

52、sage is the speaker trying to convey?【解析】D) Informative speeches can save lives.主旨題，本文舉了一個(gè)大例子，一下小例子來(lái)證明教育性的演說(shuō)有救人性命的好處。雖然在文章最后也列舉了下其他好處，但是主旨還是拯救生命。所以選D。其他幾個(gè)選項(xiàng)都主要講細(xì)節(jié)處，很容易就可以排除。聽力答案及解析（SecB 第二篇）聽力文章分析：本篇聽力講述的是截然不同的兩種生活態(tài)度，一種是“make and save a lot of money in order to retire early”，另一種則是“l(fā)ive only for toda

53、y”，作者在陳述兩種不同態(tài)度之后，針對(duì)兩種態(tài)度給出了自己的看法“it's better to pick the spend-all approach”。本篇聽力不是太難，沒有較難的詞匯，雖然有幾個(gè)需要注意的句式，如：“At the other extreme are people who live only for today. Why bother saving ”等，但是通過上下文也是不難理解的，而且結(jié)構(gòu)也比較清楚，基本上可以分為三部分：兩種不同的態(tài)度和作者的觀點(diǎn)，所考察的三道題也上針對(duì)了這三個(gè)主要的點(diǎn)。由此可見，聽聽力的時(shí)候依然首先要從全文來(lái)把握，把握文章的要點(diǎn)，在把握要點(diǎn)的基礎(chǔ)上，有重點(diǎn)的去聽一些細(xì)節(jié)，如與要點(diǎn)相關(guān)的原因和后果，以及作者本人對(duì)這些事情的看法，遇到與此相關(guān)的信號(hào)詞或者關(guān)鍵詞時(shí)就一定要注意重點(diǎn)記憶。答案及解析：30 C) To make money for early retireme
