Part III Listening Comprehension

Section A

11.

M: Why don’tyou just go to the ticket window and ask?

Q: What doesthe man suggest the woman do?

【答案】B) Go and ask the staff。

【解析】这是一道事实细节题。从对话中可知，女士搞不清楚列车时刻表，男士建议她去售票窗口咨询。ticket window售票窗口。

12.

W: I reallyenjoyed the TV special about drafts last night. Did you get home in time to seeit?

W: Oh, yes,but I wish I could have stayed awake long enough to see the whole thing。

Q: What doesthe man mean?

【答案】A) He fell asleep in the middle of the TVprogram。

【解析】这是道推理判断题，考查男士的言下之意以及虚拟语气。could have done意为本可以做某事，但未做。从对话中可知，男士确实回家看了电视节目，但是他说道：I wish I could have stayed awake long enough tosee the whole thing. 我真希望自己当时能再晚点睡着，这样我就可以看完整场节目了。说明他没有看完整场节目就睡着了。

13.

W: Airport,please. I’m running a little late. So just take the fastest way even if it’snot the most direct。

M: Sure, butthere is a lot of traffic everywhere today because of the football game。

Q: What do welearn about the woman from the conversation?

【答案】B) She is worried about missing her flight。

【解析】这是道场景题，略有难度。刚开始，我们还无法很快判断出该对话发生的场景，很多同学一听到airport可能会误以为对话发生在机场，但如果我们继续听下去，就会发现，该对话应该发生在出租车上，因为女士说了句“请选择最快的路”，而男士说“因为有球赛，所以到处都交通拥堵”可以帮助我们再次确认对话发生的场景。选项A不对，原文是说要挑the fastest way哪怕不是the mostdirect way；选项C也不准确，才刚上车，并没有拥堵，司机只是提前说明因为球赛会碰到拥堵；选项D错误，女士是为了赶去乘飞机的，而不是去看球赛。

14.

W: May I makea recommendation, sir? Our seafood with this special sauce is very good。

M: Thank you,but I don’t eat shellfish. I’m allergic to it。

Q: Where doesthis conversation most probably take place?

【答案】A) At a restaurant

【解析】这是道场景题，较为简单。从对话中可知，女士希望向男士推荐一道菜，从首句中即可推断出该对话最有可能发生在餐馆中，男士说，他过敏，不吃贝壳类海鲜，可以帮助我们再次确认对话发生的场景。

15.

W: Now onemore question if you don’t mind, what position in the company appeals to youmost?

M: Well, I’dlike the position of sales manager if that position is still vacant。

Q: What do welearn about the man?

【答案】A) He is being interviewed for a job。

【解析】这是较为简单的细节推理题。从position, company这几个关键词中，我们就可以快速判断出此题的场景为面试，因此男士应该正在接受一场面试。 C选项错误，他想要销售经理的职位，但并不表示他本身就是销售经理。

16.

M: I don’tthink I want to live in the dormitory next year. I need more privacy。

W: I know whatyou mean. But check out the cost if renting an apartment first. I won’t besurprised if you change your mind。

Q: What doesthe woman imply?

【答案】B) The man is unlikely to move out of thedormitory。

【解析】这是推理判断题，询问女士的言下之意。最后一句，女士表示“你改变主意的话，我不会觉得奇怪”，可知，男士不太可能搬出宿舍。A选项是个干扰项，虽然该选项看上去意思和B选项差不多，但对话中并没有提到男士想找一个更安静的地方，他想搬离寝室，是为了更多的个人空间。

17.

M: You’re onthe right track. I just think you need to narrow the topic down。

W: Yeah,you’re right. I always start by choosing two boarder topics when I’m doing aresearch paper。

Q: What do welearn from the conversation?

18.

W: This picnicshould beat the last one we went to, doesn’t it?

M: Oh, yeah,we had to spend the whole time inside. Good thing, the weather was cooperativethis time。

Q: What do welearn about the speakers from the conversation?

【答案】B) They didn’t quite enjoy their last picnic。

【解析】这是推理判断题。beat一词是个难点，beat本意有“打败”的意思，这次的野餐打败了上次，即这次比上次好，下文中，男士说“上次我们不得不呆在室内，但这次天气不错。”可以再次确认他们不喜欢上次的野餐，因此，正确答案为B。

19.

A)He likes Sweden better than England。

B)He prefers hot weather to cold weather。

C)He is an English living in Sweden。

D)He visits London nearly every winter。

19. What do welearn about the man from the conversation?

【答案】B)He prefers hot weather to cold weather。

【解析】本题为推断题。根据文章大意可推断得出。整篇文章中，分别有两处暗示信息，一处是男士说，“Swedish people always complain that when theyvisit England, the houses are cold even in the good winter。”，瑞典人在冬天去拜访英格兰时，会抱怨英格兰室温太冷。另一处是男士在谈到冬天天气时，说道：“It is sometimes a bit depressing。”长时间寒冷的天气令人沮丧。因此可推断得出，男士更喜欢hot weather，热天气。所以，答案为：He prefers hot weather to cold weather。

20.

A)The bad weather

B)The cold houses。

C)The gloomy winter。

D)The long night。

20. What doSwedish people complain about when they visit England in winter?

【答案】B)The cold houses。

【解析】对话中，当男士介绍瑞典的极寒天气时，谈到只要穿暖，出门很暖，而室内更暖和，为了强调这一观点，男士继续说道：“Swedish people always complain that when theyvisit England, the houses are cold even in the good winter。”说是瑞典人在冬天去拜访英格兰时，会抱怨英格兰室温太冷。所以，答案为：The cold houses。

21.

A)Delightful。

B)Painful。

C)Depressing。

D)Refreshing。
