on the moons south pole.Upon impact,the Centaur rocket kicked up a cloud of dust and elements from the moons surface,creating a so-called ejecta-plume that was monitored by NASAs Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter,or LRO.Scientists analyzed the findings,and preliminary results from this mission suggested that there was some form of water on the moon.NASA lunar scientist Michael Wargo said those days that a wave of findings during the past year makes it certain.Weve confirmed that there was indeed water ice in the ejecta-plume,and at an abundance that was about 50 percent greater than our initial estimates.That means that the impact site has more water than some deserts on Earth.According to the news report what has happened last October?解析 新闻中指出，美国宇航局的一枚火箭以每小时9000 公里的速度，撞上月球南极的一个黑暗陨 石坑而粉碎。这与 B 项的“火箭撞月”意思相同。新闻中提到的是美国宇航局的火箭在月球上撞毁，故 A 项“成功发射火箭”错误。新闻只是提到火箭撞上黑暗陨石坑，而非C 项“月球南极出现一个黑暗的深 坑”，故排除 C。D 项“LRO 有惊人的发现”都是火箭撞上月球的结果，与问题中的去年 10 月不相关，也 排除。2、A 听力原文 What did preliminary results from this mission suggest?解析 新闻中指出，科学家们根据各种结果和发现推断月球上有某种形式的水存在(there was some form of water on the moon)。A 项将原文的 there be 结构换成了谓语动词 existed，语义是一致的，A 项为答案。新闻最后一句提到月球上受撞击的地方的水分比地球上的某些沙漠地区 还多(more water thart some deserts on Earth)，故 B 项“月球上的水和沙漠上的一样多”错误。C 项“月球表面有许多火箭”和 D 项“大片地区受到火箭的影响”均没有在新闻中提到。3、B 听力原文 An American government panel has recommended that pregnant women,health-care workers,children and young adults up to the age of 24 should get priority for the flu vaccine released later this year.But the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices conceded the policy may change if not enough vaccine is produced by October.Doctor Ann Schuchat of the Center for Disease Control said it is vital for pregnant women who have breathing illness and fever to get early treatment.We think some suitable medicines for them can be lifesaving,and thats a very important message.We also think it is important for them to get seasonal influenza vaccine,and today the committee recommended that when vaccine is available,and we have a decision to go forward that the pregnant women really out of consider getting the H1N1 vaccine.Who are less necessary to receive the flu vaccinations?解析 注意听清楚本题问的是没那么必要注射疫苗的人(less necessary)。新闻中指出，美国 政府小组委员会认为孕妇、医护工作者、孩子和 24 岁以下的年轻人都应该优先注射流感疫苗，只有 B 项“老年人”没有提及，故选 B 项。听录音时应注意出现的一系列名词，并速记下相关信息或在选项上 标记。4、C 听力原文 Why do pregnant women enjoy the top priority to get vaccine?解析 新闻中指出，疾病控制中心的 Ann Schuchat 说一些有用的药物对有呼吸疾病及发烧的孕妇 来说就是挽救生命(lifesaving)，接种季节性的流感疫苗也是非常重要的，C项复现新闻原词，为 B 项“获得疫苗十分困难”都没有在新闻中提到。新闻中提到，委答案。A 项“她们的婴儿特别虚弱”和 员们建议一旦疫苗到达，将首先考虑给孕妇接种流感疫苗。这只是委员们的建议，而不是规定必须这 么做，故 D 项“因为这是委员会作出的决定”错误。5、D 听力原文 Hundreds of residents and holidaymakers along southern Australias popular Great Ocean Road were forced to move out on Thursday as hot,windy weather threatened to recharge bushfires that destroyed more than 100 homes on Christmas Day.Residents in three coastal towns in the popular holiday area were advised to leave their homes as temperatures were forecast to reach a high of almost 40 degrees Celsius.The hot summer weather threatened to expand fires that have been burning for almost two weeks.The fires were started by a lightning strike on Dec.19 and continue to burn and spread.The Country Fire Authority estimates the fire has burnt out more than 25 square kilometers of land.Authorities estimate that 116 homes were destroyed by the fires on Christmas Day.The Great Ocean Road is one of Australias biggest tourist draws with its spectacular scenery and unusual offshore rock formations.Parts of the road remained closed to traffic on Thursday during what is typically one of its busiest times of the year.What happened on Australias Great Ocean Road on Thursday?解析 新闻一开始就提到当地居民在周四被迫迁出(were forced to move out)，D 项中的 leave their home 与新闻中的 move out 同义，故为答案。A 项“雷击引发了林区火灾”在新闻中有提到，但发生时间是 12 月 19 日，新闻中并没有提到是星期几。B 项“The Great Ocean Road 吸引了很多 游客”与问题所问无关。C 项中的“交通繁忙”在新闻中提到的是在以往圣诞期间繁忙，现在交通已经 关闭，故 C 项错误。6、A 听力原文 Why should the local residents leave their homes?解析 新闻提到当地居民被建议撤离，是由于预计即将出现高温，有风的炎热夏日会加剧火情(threatened to expand fires)，因此选 A 项。B 项“将会有剧烈的地震”未在新闻中提到。新 闻中确实提到许多家庭房屋被毁，但当地居民被建议撤离的原因还是因为天气可能加重灾情，C 项“他 们的房子被毁”答非所问。D 项“很快将会有降温”与新闻提到的事实相反。7、B 听力原文 When did the bushfires start?解析 新闻中提到林区火灾是由雷击引发的，发生的时间是 12 月 19 日，故答案选 B 项。新闻开头提 到，圣诞节期间的天气加剧了灾情，导致 100 多所房屋被毁，但这并不是火灾开始的时间，排除 A 项。C 项在冬季，考生应知道澳大利亚在南半球，事件发生在 12 月前后，应为夏季，故排除此项。D 项“有 风的日子”，新闻中提到风会加大火势，但并不是发生的时候。Section B Conversation One 8、C 听力原文 W:Are you all ready for Christmas?M:No,I havent even started.Ive done zero shopping.W:Well,youd better get going.Christmas is only a week away.M:I have to tell you that Im one of those people who really get stressed out by the Christmas rush.W:Oh,Im not.I love the holidays.I love the crowds,the shopping,the holidays,the music,the food,the parties,and all the presents.M:Thats just the beginning.My wife always spends too much money on Christmas.That takes me till April to pay off all our Christmas bills.W:Dont be a miser about it.Think about your kids.Didnt you use to love Christmas when you were a kid?M:I guess so.I dont remember.W:I know you did.You know,maybe Christmas is for kids,but you can still enjoy it through the eyes of your children.M:Well,kids enjoy it because they dont have to do all the shopping and pay all the bills.W:Maybe thats true.But you know as well as I do,that Christmas is more than shopping and trees.Its about whats in your heart and how you can make others happy.M:Youre right.Youre absolutely right.Im going to try harder to be nice to people and try to keep the true spirit of Christmas in my heart.W:Im glad to hear it.What does the woman try to do in the conversation?解析 不定式选项，估计问“目的，打算”。四个选项的宾语均是 him，进一步确定是问女士的目的。整个对话内容都是围绕说话人对圣诞节的态度展开的，女士一直在劝说男士不要太在乎钱，只要开心 就好。因此正确答案为 C 项。A 项不正确，女士开导男士，并非仅仅为了让他开心。选项 B、D 与原文 不符。9、B 听力原文 When does the conversation take place?解析 细节题。女士问男士怎么还没有准备去购物，还有一个星期就是圣诞节了。因此不难判断，对话发生在圣诞节前几天。选项 B 正确。10、B 听力原文 What is the mans feeling about Christmas?解析 推断题。对话一开始男士就强调圣诞节让他觉得心力交瘁(get stressed out)，因此 A 项和 C 项肯定不对。接下来男士便提到他妻子会为圣诞节化很多钱，他得花很长时间才能把所有的账 全部还清。显而易见，他是在抱怨，因此选项 B 正确。11、C 听力原文 What will the man most probably do after the conversation?解析 推断题。四个动词(分词)选项标明，这是典型的长对话尾巴题，问对话中人物下一步的行动。到对话末尾，男士承认女士说的完全正确，并表示自己会照女士所说的去做，那么他很有可能为圣诞 节积极地做准备，因此 C 项正确。A 项是他抱怨的内容，B、D 项并未提及。Conversation Two 12、C 听力原文 W:Its a lovely day today!What would you like to do?M:I really feel like doing something outdoors.Perhaps we could go hill walking?W:Mm,Im not really in the mood for hill walking.Why dont we just go swimming?M:That suits me.But it will take an hour or two.Do you like to do something else first?Maybe we could go cycling?W:I dont think I enjoy that very much.Actually Im not a good cyclist.Maybe we could have a meal at the new Italian restaurant.M:Thats Fine for me.I havent been to that restaurant yet.So thats decided then.A meal at the new Italian restaurant,then go to swim.Great!So,when should we meet?W:Wed better get to the restaurant a bit early because it might be very busy.I think we need to get there by 11:00.M:Er,can I make it a little bit later,say,11:20?I have to visit my grandma this morning and I dont think I can make it by then.W:No problem.Ill go straight to the restaurant at 11:00 and get you a table.M:Great!Why doesnt the man want to go swimming?解析 细节题。四个选项均是否定 it，结合 A 和 B 可知提问应该是问 He 不做某事的原因。对话中女 士建议去游泳，男士回答说这适合他，接着却用 But 来否定这个建议:游泳得花一两个小时，言下之 意即游泳太费时间了，故选 C。A 利用对话中的原词 feel like doing 进行干扰，但对话中男士说 的是他想做一些户外运动，A 与之不符;男士觉得游泳适合他，B 与男士的意思相悖;男士没有说到 游泳是否有趣，D 也可排除。13、D 听力原文 What will the two speakers do first?解析 细节题。本题四个选项均为动词原形，应涉及某个行动:打算、建议等。对话中女士说她没 有心情爬山，也不擅长骑车，所以 A、C 两项肯定不对。最后他们决定先吃饭再游泳。接下来男士说“那 就这样定了”。所以正确答案是 D 项。14、B 听力原文 What can be inferred about the restaurant mentioned?解析 推断题。女士提议去新开的那家意大利饭店，她还建议最好早点去，因为去晚了饭店很可能(因为人多)很忙。既然是新开的饭店，那么 A 错误。饭店之所以可能非常busy，肯定是生意好，去 的人多才会很忙，因此答案为 B。意大利饭店并不一定就是意大利人开的，故C 错误。D 对话中未提及，可以排除。15、D 听力原文 Why cant the man meet the woman at 11:00?解析 原因推理题。对话中，男士提出希望能 11:20 到饭店，因为他要去看望他的 grandma，11:00 之前可能赶不回来。因此选项 D 正确。Section C Passage One 16、D 听力原文 Twin sisters are supposed to be very much alike,are they not?Well,my twin sister Jane and I do look alike,however,we are different in many ways.whereas my twin We like very different styles of clothing.I prefer to dress informally,sister dresses like a model,always wearing the latest fashions.We have very similar character in most ways.I do not get angry easily and enjoy being with friends,and in these respects,my twin sister feels the same.But she likes loud music and modern dances,while I find that nightclubs give me a headache.She is always with friends,is a favorite with all the teachers,and never wants to have any children,whereas I prefer to be alone at tinges,dont really try to impress my teachers and intend some day to have a family of my own.We have tried to live in the same room several times,and even agreed on the color we like best,and the kind of furniture we want,but I like to keep things neat and orderly,while my twin sister acts as if there were a servant around to pick up all the things that get thrown on the floor.I like to go to bed early and get up early.In contrast,she doesnt seem to have any definite habits,often goes to bed very late,and then sleeps late the next day.What kind of clothes does the speaker like?解析 四个选项的中心词是 clothes，区别在前面的定语。注意到 A 与 B 相对，C 与 D 相对。文中提 到 I prefer to dress informally。D 中的 casual 是 informal 的同义词。17、B 听力原文 What do the twin sisters have in common?解析 文中提到“我轻易不会生气，喜欢和朋友待在一起。这点我们是相同的”所以选 B。18、C 听力原文 Why isnt the speaker likely to live in the same room with her sister?解析 最后一部分提到，她们不能住在同一个房间有很多原因，其中之一便是她是一个喜欢整齐有 序的人，而她的 sister 什么东西都随手乱扔。所以选 C。Passage Two 19、B 听力原文 Until the twentieth century cigarettes were not an important threat to public health.Since the cigarette industry began in the 1870s,however,the cigarette-manufacturing machine has developed rapidly.This made it possible to produce great numbers of cigarettes very quickly,and it reduced the price.Today cigarette smoking is a widespread habit.About forty-three percent of the men and thirty-one percent of the adult women in the United States smoke cigarettes regularly.It is encouraging to note,however,that millions of people have given up the smoking habit.Income,education and occupation all play a part in determining a persons smoking habits.City people smoke more than people living on farms.Well-educated men with high income are less likely to smoke cigarettes than men with fewer years of schooling and lower i
