Section A
Questions 1-4 are based on the conversation you have just heard.
Q.1- A. She is a great athlete.
- B. She is a famed speaker.
- C. She is a famous scientist.
- D. She is a noted inventor.
解析
解析:
先看问题What do we learn about Anna Sanchez? 指的是从安娜·桑切斯身上可以了解什么?然后分析选项,可知需要答的是安娜的职业。从原文的第一句话中就能定位答案,Mrs. Anna Sanchez is a three-time Olympic champion(安娜是奥运会冠军),换言之,她是一位出色的运动员(athlete),而不是演讲家(speaker)、科学家(scientist)或发明家(inventor)。因此选A。
Q.2- A. How knowledge of human biochemistry has been evolving.
- B. How nutrition helps athletes' performance in competitions.
- C. How scientific training enables athletes to set new records.
- D. How technology has helped athletes to scale new heights.
解析
解析:
问What is the woman's book mainly about? 可知要答的是女士的书的相关内容。从原文开头,我们已知安娜写了《走向极致》这本新书,重点关注她在之后的描述,定位The book is about how science and technology has helped push humans to the edge of their physical abilities,得出书讲述的是科学技术如何帮助人类将身体机能发挥到极致。关键词为science and technology,率先排除与科学技术无关的A、B项。C项意指科学训练帮助运动员获得新纪录,而原文中并没有提到科学训练,因此排除。D项意思最为恰当。C、D两项容易混淆,须加强辨别。
Q.3- A. Our physical structures.
- B. Our scientific knowlege.
- C. Our biochemical process.
- D. Our concept of nutrtion.
解析
解析:
问What has changed in the past thousands of years? 几千年来,什么发生了变化?从原文中段女士的回答中这句while our bodies have not changed in thousands of years, what has changed is the scientific knowledge,可知在变化的是scientific knowledge(科学知识),B项符合。答案句前一句the point is more about our knowledge today of human biochemistry, nutrition, and mechanics,指是是我们如今关注的重点在于这些,但并未提到它们有所变化,依此排除C、D项。A项原文也未提及,故排除。
Q.4- A. It may increase the expenses of sports competitions.
- B. It may lead to athletes' over reliance on equipment.
- C. It may give an unfair advantage to some athletes.
- D. It may change the nature of sports competitions.
解析
解析:
问What is the man’s concern about the use of technology in sports competitions? 男士对科技在体育竞赛中的应用有何顾虑?从原文后半段中男士的提问Is there any concern that technology is giving some athletes an unfair advantage over others?可知,他的疑虑在于科技会给运动员带来不公平的优势。关键词为unfair advantage,可直接推断C项相符。而A项(增加体育赛事的费用)、B项(导致运动员过度依赖设备)、D项(改变体育比赛性质)在原文均未提及,因此排除。
Questions 5-8 are based on the conversation you have just heard.
Q.5- A. Experience.
- B. Flexibility.
- C. Family background.
- D. Business connections.
解析
解析:
问What does the woman think is required to be successful in international trade? 女士认为要想在国际贸易中取得成功需要具备哪些条件?定位原文前半部分So one needs to be very flexible to succeed in this industry,可知灵活是成功的关键条件,B项flexibility是flexible的名词形式,为恰当答案。做题时应重视此类词性替换、同义替换的情况,在题目设置中较为常见。其它三项experience(经验)、family background(家庭背景)、business connections(业务关系)是否是贸易成功的条件在原文中均未提到,故排除。
Q.6- A. Buying directly from factories.
- B. Shipping goods in bulk by sea.
- C. Having partners in many parts of the world.
- D. Using the same container back and forth.
解析
解析:
问What does the woman say is special about her way of doing trade? 女士说她的贸易方式有什么特别之处?继续往后听原文,在女士解释所做的商品贸易时,她提到I even use the same container. It's a very efficient way of conducting trade.,即指她使用同一集装箱这一非常有效的贸易方式,接下来一长段的内容其实都在具体解释她使用同一集装箱运输家具和食品的流程。D项的释义即为“反复来回地使用同一集装箱”,back and forth意为为“反复地,来回地”。A项Buying directly from factories(从厂家直接购买)、B项Shipping goods in bulk by sea(通过船只海运大量货物)在原文中均未提及,排除。另,原文中女士提到I possess a network of clients and partners in both countries,指她在中国和意大利这两个国家拥有合作伙伴网络,C项意为“在世界多地都有合作伙伴”,显然不符,排除。因此本题最恰当答案为D。
Q.7- A. Warehouses.
- B. Factories.
- C. Investors.
- D. Retailers.
解析
解析:
问What does the woman have in both Italy and China? 这位女士在意大利和中国都有什么?考查细节,女士在之后的解释中提到I have a warehouse in Genoa, Italy, and another in Shanghai,即指在意大利和中国上海都有仓库。而后还有dispatch it to my other warehouse in Italy,send all that to my warehouse in China这些信息点都指明warehouse这个关键词,因此A项恰当。其它三项factories(工厂)、investors(投资者)、retailers(零售商)在文中均未提及,排除。
Q.8- A. Trendy style.
- B. Unique design.
- C. Lower import duties.
- D. Lower shipping costs.
解析
解析:
问What does the woman say makes furniture marginally more profitable? 这位女士说家具盈利更多的原因是什么?定位原文最后一句Furniture is marginally more profitable, mostly because it enjoys lower customs duties.,可知利润略高的原因主要是它享受较低的关税,duty有“关税”之意。与其他三项Trendy style(时尚风格)、Unique design(独特设计)、Lower shipping costs(较低的运输成本)无关。因此,本题选C。

解析
解析:
问What does the passage say about humor in the workplace? 关于职场幽默,这篇文章说了什么?观察四个选项,可知问的是职场幽默可以为员工带来什么益处。四项意思分别为“帮助员工减小压力”、“避免使员工觉得枯燥”、“增强员工间和睦度”、“帮助员工积极地看待事物”。接下来听原文抓关键词,可以发现与“压力”相关的信息点是最多的,包括no outlet for stress(压力没有出口)、uncork their bottled-up resentments(释放积蓄已久的怨气)、on distress(在压力/痛苦之下)。因此A项是最恰当的。而其他三项的bored、harmony、positively在原文中都没有对应的信息,故排除。
Q.10- A. Weekends are conducive to reducing stress.
- B. Humor is vital to interpersonal relationships.
- C. All workers experience some emotional stress.
- D. Humor can help workers excel at routine tasks.

Q.11- A. Smash the toys to release their bottled-up resentments.
- B. Take the boss doll apart as long as they reassemble it.
- C. Design and install stress-reducing gadgets.
- D. Strike at the boss doll as hard as they like.
解析
解析:
问What can Kodak employees do in the humor room? 柯达员工在幽默室可以做什么?定位原文中关于幽默室里的内容 the main attraction is a boss doll with detachable arms and legs,Employees can take the doll apart as long as they put its arms and legs back in place,可知员工可以在能组装回去的情况下拆卸老板娃娃,因此B项是最恰当的。其它三项所说的“打碎玩具以释放怨气”、“设计安装减压小玩意”、“任意打击娃娃”都不符合原文,故排除。

解析:
问What does the speaker say has aroused public interest? 作者说什么引起了公众的兴趣?从原文第一句Public interest was aroused by the latest discovery of a changed gene in obese mice.就可知,引起公众关注的是肥胖小鼠中最新发现的基因改变。A项意思相符。B项“在理解基因修饰方面的突破”、C项“一种新发现的减肥方法”、D项“肥胖小鼠基因的自我修复能力”在原文均未提及,故排除。
Q.13- A. It renders an organism unable to fight diseases.
- B. It prevents the mice's fatty tissues from growing.
- C. It helps organisms adapt to environmental changes.
- D. It renders mice unable to sense when to stop eating.

解析:
问What do we learn about the changed gene? 我们从改变的基因中了解到了什么?分析四个选项的释义,可以推断问的是改变的基因对生物体所造成的影响。从原文第三、四句The researchers believe this gene influences...and thus can't tell when to stop eating.可知,对于老鼠来说,该类基因改变会影响一种可识别脂肪或饱满程度的激素的发育,从而导致其无法判断何时停止进食。D项意思相符。A项“导致无法抵抗疾病”、B项“阻止老鼠脂肪组织生长”、C项“帮助适应环境变化”都与原文不符,故排除。
Q.14- A. Human beings have more obesity genes than most mice do.
- B. Half of a person's total weight variation can be controlled.
- C. People are born with a tendency to have a certain weight.
- D. The function of obesity genes is yet to be explored.
解析
解析:
问What does the University of Vermont psychologist Eyster Rossburn say? 佛蒙特大学的心理学家艾斯特·罗斯本说了什么?定位原文中关于Eyster Rossburn言论的内容,原文中部Still, professionals like the University of Vermont psychologist Eyster Rossburn reacted enthusiastically这句就是个关键信息点。接着往后听这句This research indicates that people really are born with a tendency to have a certain weight,可知罗斯本的研究表明人的体重一定程度上是与生俱来的,C项相符。其它三项“人类具有比老鼠更多的肥胖基因”、“总的体重变化中一半是可控的”、“肥胖基因的功能尚待探索”都与罗斯本的研究无关,故排除。
Q.15- A. The worsening of natural environment.
