解析
解析:问题为Why does the woman say she can be so energetic? 女士说她为什么能有这么多精力?在对话前半部分男士便有提问:Where do you get the energy? 女士回答:I just love what I do. I'm extremely fortunate to have this life, doing what I love doing.女士喜欢自己的工作。她觉得拥有这样的生活很幸运,做着自己喜欢的事。再来看4个选项,可以推断,A项的意思最为符合。She can devote all her life to pursuing her passion.即指她致力于做自己热爱的事情,passion在此为love的同义替换。而其它3项的意思均不符,因此本题选A。
Q.2- A. Provision of guidance for nuclear labs in Europe.
- B. Touring the globe to attend science TV shows.
- C. Overseeing two research groups at Oxford.

Q.3- A. A better understanding of a subject.

- C. A broader knowledge of related fields.

- C. By building upon previous discoveries.
- D. By utilizing more powerful computers.
解析
解析:问题为How does the woman say new scientific breakthroughs can be made possible? 女士所说的新的科学突破如何成为可能?先观察4个选项,可以发现它们的对象分别为research methods,data,discoveries及computers。然后听原文查找相关信息,定位至后半部分关于scientific breakthroughs的内容,女士在之后提到right now we have too much data sitting in computers.Yet nobody has had time to look at them with their own eyes, let alone analyze them.可知,她指的是电脑中存在的大量数据没有人去观察和分析,也就是说新的科学突破需要充分利用数据,进行数据分析。B项意思与其相符,而其它三项均为无关项,因此本题选B。
Questions 5-8 are based on the conversation you have just heard.

- C. She dreamed of a plane crash.
- D. It was postponed to the following day.
解析
解析:问题为Why didn't the woman's grandmother take her scheduled flight? 女士的祖母为什么没有乘坐她原定的班机?对话中段讲到了女士祖母对于梦的理解,My grandmother is superstitious, and she thinks dreams can predict the future.而后便是关于本题内容的关键部分,Once she dreamed that the flight she was due to take the following day crashed...She didn't take that flight.由此可知,祖母认为梦可以预测未来,因此有一次她梦见第二天她要乘坐的飞机坠毁了,就没有乘坐原定航班。只有C项相符,本题选C。
Q.7- A. They can be affected by people's childhood experiences.
- B. They may sometimes see ridiculous to a rational mind.
- C. They usually result from people's unpleasant memories.
- D. They can have an impact as great as rational thinking.
解析
解析:问题为What does the woman say about people's emotions? 关于人们的情感,女士说了些什么?再往后听原文,可以听到这句关键句But even if we think they are ridiculous, emotions can be just as powerful as rational thinking.意为情感会和理性思维一样强大,即使这在我们看来很荒谬。本句容易与B项的意思产生混淆,B项中也出现了ridiculous这个词,但这个选项的意思是情感对于理性思维来说是荒谬的,显然不符。A项和C项都与原文不符。D项中has an impact as great as,即指它们的影响是一样大的,同义替换原文中的be as powerful as,因此本题选D。

Section B
Questions 9 to 11 are based on the passage you have just heard.

解析
解析:问题为What did the scientists first use to discover Lake Vostok in the 1970s? 20世纪70年代,科学家第一次使用什么发现的沃斯托克湖?由原文开头第二句Scientists first discovered Lake Vostok in the 1970s by using radio waves that penetrate the ice可知,科学家首次是用无线电发现湖的。因此本题选A。

解析
解析:问题为What do scientists think about Lake Vostok? 关于沃斯托克湖,科学家有什么看法?往后听原文,由The thick glacier above acts like an insulating blanket and keeps the water from freezing可知,湖上厚厚的冰层防止水结冰,A项的意思与其违背,排除。再往下听,可以锁定至关键句The scientists suspect that microorganisms may be living in Lake Vostok closed off from the outside world for more than 2 million years.科学家怀疑微生物可能生活在湖中,B项意思恰好相符。C、D项在原文未提及。因此本题选B。
Q.11- A. Help understand life in freezing conditions.

- C. Provide information about other planets.
- D. Shed light on possible life in outer space.
解析
解析:问题为What do the scientists hope their discoveries will do? 科学家们希望自己的发现起到什么作用?意指他们希望他们的发现可以带来什么。由原文后段中这句he scientists hope their discoveries will shed light on life in outer space可知,是希望可以为外太空生命提供线索的。A、B、C三项在原文未提及,并不是科学家希望的发现目的。因此本题选D。
Questions 12-15 are based on the passage you have just heard.

- B. He was trying to preserve the languages of the Indian tribes.

- D. His meeting with Gonzalez had made him eager to learn more about the tribe.
解析
解析:问题为Why did James Copeland want to study the American Indian tribe — Tarahumaras? 为什么詹姆斯·科普兰想要研究美洲印第安部落——塔拉乌人?由原文开头第一句The idea to study the American Indian tribe — Tarahumaras, came to James Copeland in 1984 when he discovered that very little research had been done on their language.便可知,詹姆斯·科普兰当时发现对塔拉乌马拉人的语言进行的研究很少,所以才萌发了研究的想法。接下来的两句也是围绕语言来讲,因此可以锁定正确答案为A、B其中一项,而A项意思完全与原文相符。C、D项未提及语言,排除。B项意指他想保护部落的语言,这在原文也没有提及,排除。本题选A。
Q.13- A. He taught Copeland to speak the Tarahumaras language.
- B. He persuaded the Tarahumaras to accept Copeland's gifts.
- C. He recommended one of his best friends as an interpreter.
- D. He acted as an intermediary between Copeland and the villagers.
解析
解析:问题为How did Gonzalez help James Copeland? 冈萨雷斯是如何帮助詹姆斯·科普兰的?继续听原文,之后便是关于Gonzalez的内容,注意重点在于Gonzalez对于Copeland的帮助。可以定位至这句He took Copeland to his village and served as an intermediary.由此可知,冈萨雷斯充当了中间人的身份,使塔拉乌马拉人得以信任科普兰。D项意思与其相符,而其它三项在原文未提及,因此本题选D。

- C. Laborious.
- D. Tedious.
解析
解析:问题为What does the speaker say about James Copeland's trip to the Tarahumaras village? 关于詹姆斯·科普兰的塔拉乌马拉村之旅,说话者说了些什么?在原文中段可以听到这句Entering the world of Tarahumaras has been a laborious project for Copeland.,即指对于科普兰来说,进入塔拉乌马拉的世界是一项艰苦的任务,之后的内容是这项任务如何艰苦进行的具体阐述。unpredictable(出乎意料的),unjustifiable(不正当的),tedious(沉闷的)都与原文不符,因此本题选C。
Q.15- A. Their appreciation of help from the outsiders.
- B. Their sense of sharing and caring.
- C. Their readiness to adapt to technology.
- D. Their belief in creating wealth for themselves.
解析
解析:问题为What impressed James Copeland about the Tarahumaras tribe? 塔拉乌马拉部落给詹姆斯·科普兰留下了什么印象?可以在原文的末尾部分寻找关键信息,原文末尾I see...I experience...便是科普兰对这个部落的看法。锁定至最后一句I see a lot of beauty and their sense of sharing and concern for each other.即指科普兰在这个部落看到了很多美好的东西,和部落人彼此分享和关心的感觉,与B项的意思恰好相符。C项的意思为“他们愿意适应科技”,与原文的I see people rejecting technology违背,排除。A项和D项在原文未提及。因此本题选B。

Section C
Questions 16-18 are based on the recording you have just heard.
Q.16- A. They tend to be silenced into submission.

- C. They will feel proud of being pioneers.
- D. They will feel somewhat encouraged.
解析
解析:问题为What usually happens when people are accused of being radical? 当人们被指责为激进分子时通常会发生什么?来听原文开头,第三句便有关键信息。Accusing individuals or groups of being radical often serves to silence them into submission,意指指责个人或团体激进往往是为了让他们保持沉默,A项意思恰好与其相符。而其它三项(他们发现很难为自己辩护;他们将为自己成为开拓者而感到自豪;他们多少会感到被鼓舞)在原文均未提及。因此本题选A。
Q.17- A. One who advocates violence in effecting change.
- B. One who craves for relentless transformations.
- C. One who acts in the interests of the oppressed.
- D. One who rebels against the existing social order.
解析
解析:问题为What is the speaker's definition of a radical? 说话者对激进分子的定义是什么?往后听原文,说话者在阐述了对女权主义者的看法后,说到这句To me, a radical is simply someone who rebels against the norm or advocates a change in the existing state of affairs.意指“在我看来,激进分子就是那些反抗常规或主张改变现状的人。”这其实就是对激进分子的定义。接下来比较四个选项,可以发现D项是最符合的,the existing social order同义替换the norm。而其它三项(提倡以暴力促进变革的人;期盼残酷变革的人;为了受压迫者利益的人)都不是说话者对激进分子的定义。因此本题选D。
Q.18- A. They tried to effect social change by force.
- B. They disrupted the nation's social stability.
- C. They served as a driving force for progress.
- D. They did more harm than good to humanity.
解析
解析:问题为What does the speaker think of most radicals in the American history? 说话者如何看待美国历史上的大多数激进派?先观察四个选项的意思,A项“试图通过武力实现社会变革”、B项“破坏国家社会稳定”、C项“是进步的动力”、D项“对人类的危害多于益处”,不难看出,A、B、D项均为贬义看法,C项为褒义。本题为本篇最后一题,关键信息更倾向于在原文后段至末尾,说话者提到there are some radicals who have made a negative impact on humanity.(有一些激进分子对人类造成了负面影响。但之后的这句But undeniably, there would simply be no progress without radicals.转折强调不可否认的是,没有激进分子就不会有进步,progress为关键词,C项意思相符。其它三项贬义的看法在原文并未提及。因此本题选C。
Questions 19-21 are based on the recording you have just heard.
Q.19- A. Few of us can ignore changes in our immediate environment.
- B. It is impossible for us to be immune from outside influence.
- C. Few of us can remain unware of what happens around us.
- D. It is important for us to keep in touch with our own world.
解析
解析:问题为What does the speaker say about us as human beings? 关于我们人类,演讲者说了什么?原文第一句指出We are very susceptible to the influence of the people around us.(我们很容易受到周围人的影响。)再往后,定位至关键句None of us are immune to the influences of our own world(没有人能免疫周围世界对自己的影响)。B项意思相符,其它三项都与“外界世界对我们人类产生影响”这个信息点无关。因此本题选B。
Q.20- A. Make up his mind to start all over again.
- B. Stop making unfair judgements of others.
- C. Try to find a more exciting job somewhere else.
- D. Recognise the negative impact of his coworkers.
解析
解析:问题为What does the speaker say Fred should do first to improve his quality of life? 演讲者说弗雷德要想提高生活质量,他首先应该做什么?本题在原文没有直接的关键句,需要同学们完全听懂理解原文关于弗雷德生活的内容。原文中可以听到这句: if Fred ever wants to improve his quality of life, the first thing he'll need to do is recognize what has been going on all these years.意思是,若弗雷德想要改善他的生活质量,他要的第一件事是搞清这些年发生了什么。但观察题中四个选项,可以发现没有一个选项的意思与“搞清这些年发生了什么”相近。那么大家在做题时要学会先抓住一些选项中的关键词,比如a more exciting job,the negative impact of his coworkers等。再来原文寻找相关信息,可以if Fred ever wants...这句之前的内容找到线索。Fred may say I'm always broke frequently depressed...Then we discover that Fred's best friends are always broke, frequently depressed,由此推断之所以弗雷德总是破产,感到沮丧,是受到了他朋友的影响,他朋友也总是破产,经常沮丧。接下来再对比选项,得出D项“认识到他同伴的负面影响”是最符合文意的,其它三项都为无关项。因此本题选D。
Q.21- A. They are quite susceptible to suicide.
- B. They improve people’s quality of life.
- C. They suffer a great deal from ill health.
- D. They help people solve mental problems.
解析
解析:问题为What does the speaker say about psychiatrists? 关于精神病医生,演讲者说了什么?继续往后听原文,找到关于Psychiatrists的内容。锁定到关键句Psychiatrists have a higher incidence of suicide in their profession for related reasons.即指精神病医生这个职业的自杀率更高。四个选项中只有A项有suicide关键词,be susceptible to意为“易受...的影响”。其它三项与关键句无关,因此本题选A。

- C. Its real value is open to interpretation.

解析
解析:问题为What does the speaker say about the American dollar bill? 关于美钞,演讲者说了什么?重点注意原文开头的部分,开头便提到Virtually every American can recognize a dollar bill at a mere glance.Many can identify it by its sound or texture, but few people indeed can accurately describe the world's most powerful, important currency.意指几乎所有美国人一眼就能认出美元。许多人可以通过它的声音或纹理来识别它,但很少有人能真正准确地描述它。先排除A项,意思与原文相反。B项意思符合。C、D项与原文不符。因此本题选B。
Q.23- A. It has never seen any change.

- C. It is a well-protected government secret.
- D. It is a subject of study by many forgers.

解析:What does the speaker say about the exact composition of the American dollar bill? 关于美钞的确切构成,演讲者说了些什么?先来抓住4个选项的关键词:never seen any change(没有任何变化),has much to do with color(和颜色有很大关系),well-protected government secret(政府严守的秘密),subject of study by many forgers(伪造者的研究主题)。接下来听原文,判断内容是否能与这些关键词有关。可以听到这句the exact composition of the paper and ink is a closely guarded government secret.得出,美元钞票纸张和墨水的确切成分是政府严格保守的秘密。C项意思相符,而其它三项在原文均未提及。因此本题选C。
Q.24- A. People had little faith in paper money.
- B. They could last longer in circulation.
- C. It predicted their value would increase.
- D. They were more difficult to counterfeit.
解析
解析:问题为Why did the new American government mint only coins for common currency? 为什么新的美国政府只铸造硬币作为通用货币?在原文中段,有其相关的解释。When the constitution was signed, people had little regard for paper money because of its steadily decreasing value during the colonial era.Because of this lack of faith, the new American government minted only coins for common currency.指当时的人们很少重视纸币,因为在殖民时期纸币的价值在不断下降,由于缺乏这种信心,新的美国政府只铸造硬币作为通用货币。只有A项意思相符,其它三项都不符。因此本题选A。
Q.25- A. The stabilization of the dollar value.
- B. The issuing of government securities.
- C. A gold standard for American currency.
- D. A steady appreciation of the U. S. dollar.
解析
解析:What have generations of American politicians argued for? 几代美国政治家都在争论什么?最后一题,可以在原文的结尾部分寻找信息。可以听到这句American history has seen generations of politicians argue in favor of a gold standard for American currency.可知,美国历史上几代政治家都支持美国货币的金本位制。C项恰好与其相符,其它三项为无关项。因此本题选C。
