24、ind a shopping center.B）找一个购物中心。C) Cash a check at a bank.C）在银行兑现支票。D) Find a parking meter.D) 找一个停车计费器。【听音指导】选项均缺少主语，属于细节题加转折题型，预读时无需关注句意，直接找相似场景即可，并且按照听力短对话规律，重点仍然在女士话语当中，典型的转折出答案题型。【对的项分析】由but后的money changer可知男生需要换零钱，可快速排除选项B (购物中心)和选项D (停车) 二个场景，答案应在选项A、C当中。C选项虽也和钱有关，但对话中对该选项中的银行只字未提，由此可知答案为选项A。

25、【原文及译文】M: Excuse me. Do you have change for a ten-dollar note? I need to pay the parking meter.W: Im sorry, but I think you can get it through the money changer in the shopping center across the street.Q: What is the man trying to do?男士：打扰一下，你能给我换开一张10美元的钞票吗？我需要支付停车费。女士：很抱歉，但我觉得你可以到马路对面的购物中心里的货币兑换中换

A) Shopping with his son.A) 与儿子一起购物。B) Buying a gift for a child.B) 给孩子买礼物。C) Promoting a new product.C) 促销新产品。D) Bargaining with a salesgirl.D) 与女售货员讨价还价。【听音指导】预览选项，可发现均缺少主语，与11题同样，属于细节题加建议题型，直接寻找相似场景即可，可快速排除选项C，由于只有C选项是关于出售（

27、促销），而其它选项都和购买有关；答案应在选项A、B、D中。【对的项分析】女士话语仍具有绝对指导意义，非常简朴的建议考点，居然直接用到了suggest，其后必有答案，女生提到toy train和brand，加上男生说的school boy，可拟定答案为选项B。【干扰项分析】A选项中的son是无中生有，切忌主观猜测。选项D可在听时排除，原文中并无任何涉及关于还价或具体金额的内容。【原文及译文】M: Can you recommend something that a school boy of 7 or 8 will really like?W: Id suggest this toy train

28、, sir. Its an excellent brand. Very popular all over the world these days.Q: What is the man doing?男士：你能给我推荐一个七八岁学童真正喜欢的东西吗？女士：我给你推荐这款玩具火车。这是一个优秀的品牌。在世界各地都非常受欢迎。问题：男士正在做什么？【词汇点拨】recommend v. 推荐；brand n. 品牌；promote v. 促销；bargain v. 讨价还价13.

29、nding cameras.C) 修理相机。D) Painting pictures.D) 画画。【听音指导】选项仍均缺少主语，属于细节考察题。选项D与其他三项明显不同，可初步排除。第一句由女士发出，需仔细聆听，原文提到taking pictures（拍照），由此拟定话题方向。【对的项分析】女士说话中提到taking pictures，与选项A中的taking photographs一致，答案为A选项。【原文及译文】W: Do you let people know when youre taking pictures of them?M: I try not to. You know any

30、 picture of a person who poses for the camera would look dull and unnatural.Q: What are the speakers talking about?女士：你给人们拍照时，会让他们知道吗？男士：尽量不让他们知道。你也知道一个人为拍照摆出的姿势看起来呆滞、不自然。问题：发言人在谈论什么？【词汇点拨】pose v. 摆姿势 n. 姿势，姿态；enhance v. 提高，加强；image n. 图像，形象 14. A) He moved to Baltimore when he was young.A) 他年轻的时候搬到

31、巴尔的摩。B) He can provide little useful information.B) 他提供不了太多有用信息。C) He will show the woman around Baltimore.C) 他将领女士参观巴尔的摩。D) He will ask someone else to help the woman. D) 他将找其别人来帮助女士。【听音指导】此题考察意义解释题加转折题型，此类题型答案多为听见什么不选什么。本题需要对考生有一定的实力规定，属于可失分的题目。关注动词 move to，provide，show around和ask。【对的项分析】经典转折考法，直接

32、用but定位答案即可，男生说自己当时还很年轻，言下之意自己对本地情况不够了解。答案为B选项。【干扰项分析】根据四级听力中短对话尾词错误原则，即结尾内容听得越清楚越不能选，可顺利排除A选项。选项C没有提及。选项D与选项B为相似项，其中应有答案，男士并未积极提出找人帮忙，故排除选项D。【原文及译文】W: I need to talk to someone who knows Baltimore well. Im told you lived there.M: Oh, but I was really young at the timeQ: What does the man mean?女士：我需要

33、找个非常了解巴尔的摩的人。我听说你曾在那里居住过。男士：哦，但是我那时候太年轻了。问题：男士是什么意思？【词汇点拨】show around 领.参观15. A) He is rather disappointed.A) 他非常失望。B) He is highly ambitious.B) 他很有抱负。C) He cant face up to the situation.C) 他不能面对处境。D) He knows his own limitation.D) 他知道自己的局限性。【听音指导】预读四个选项时只有B提到了正面、积极的方向，可初步排除。选项预读较难，但本题属于经典转折题型，关注相应标

34、志词即可。but出现表达前否后肯，直接用but定位答案，就可选出对的选项。【对的项分析】原文是承担责任前需要积累更多经验，表白他知道自己的局限性之处，与选项D同义。【干扰项分析】A选项中是rather，与原文的a little 不一致，可排除。C选项原文中未曾提及。【原文及译文】W: Arent you disappointed that you didnt get the promotion?M: Maybe a little, but I know I need more experience before Im ready for that kind of responsibility.

35、Q: What do we learn about the man from this conversation?女士：你没有被提高，不觉得失望吗？男士：也许有一点，但我觉得承担责任前需要积累更多经验。问题：从此对话可以得知男士的什么信息？【词汇点拨】disappointed a. 失望的；ambitious a. 有雄心的；promotion n. 晋升；responsibility n. 责任16.

37、分析】男士赞扬女士身材好，但未曾提到她以此闻名，B选项可排除。男士也未称赞她的作法，故排除选项D。【原文及译文】W: Ive been working out the gym since January. I was a bit out of shape.M: You look terrific. It seems that your effort has paid off.Q: What does the man imply about the woman?女士：我从一月份一直在健身房锻炼。我之前都有些走形了。男士：现在你看起来很棒。看来你的努力没有白费。问题：男士暗示女士什么？【词汇点拨】

39、nstructive.D) 专家的建议是有建设性的。【听音指导】本题选项预读最难，找不出明显的相反或相似选项，听前可暂时拟定两组方向。选项A、C与物理有关，选项B、D是导师的建议，待场景明确后再排除。【对的项分析】首句用到suggest，接着说到tutor，场景明确，和选项B、D有关，排除选项A、C。首句Professor Clark suggested I get a tutor for advanced physics，可知答案为选项D。【原文及译文】W: Professor Clark suggested I get a tutor for advanced physics.M: Wel

40、l, that might help. Advanced physics is a pretty difficult course.Q: What does the man mean?女士：克拉克专家建议我得为高等物理找个家庭教师。男士：嗯，那也许有帮助。高等物理的确是一门比较难的科目。问题：男士的意思是什么？【词汇点拨】tutor n. 家庭教师；constructive a. 有益的，建设性的18.

41、积极选项C。本题为加了弦外之音 意义解释题，同义替换是答案，此类题有较少的明显的语言点可以指示答案，难度较大。听音时关注说话者的语气。【对的项分析】女士所谓的好消息是谈话的两个人都没有被炒鱿鱼。男士却既不兴奋，也没有表达怀疑，所以容易排除选项B、C。由于他已有点厌倦这份工作了，甚至想到要去辞职。与选项A意义相符。 【原文及译文】W: Bill, have you heard the latest news? It appears we two wont be laid off after all.M: Oh, Im somewhat tired of working here. Ive bee

42、n wondering whether I should resign.Anyway, the news seems to be good for you.Q: How does the man feel about the news?女士：比尔，知道最新消息吗？仿佛我俩都没有被炒鱿鱼。男士：哦，我在这儿工作有些厌烦了，我一直在考虑我是否应当辞职。无论如何，这个消息对你来说是个好事。问题：男士对新闻是怎么看的？【词汇点拨】indifferent a. 漠不关心的；doubtful a. 持怀疑态度的；lay off 解雇；resign v.辞职；be tired of . 对.厌倦Questi

44、ass，选项B讲述day course，立刻可推测此长对话与课程有关，且该课程有day class和evening class之分。从这四个选项暗含的意义推测，男士应偏重于evening class，可初步推测，此题考察男士选择evening class的因素。【对的项分析】原文中男士明确说明it would have to be an evening course since I work during the day，关键词在于since，正所谓因果必考，选项C与原文相符。20. A) Learn a computer language.A) 学习一门计算机语言。B) Learn data

45、 processing.B) 学习数据解决。C) Buy some computer software.C) 买一些电脑软件。D) Buy a few course books.D) 买一些课本。【听音指导】行为动作考察题，根据19题推测，本对话涉及报班，由本题四个选项可知，所报课程与电脑有关，由于前三项均与computer有关。可知选项D与其他三项明显不同，可初步排除。本题也为一细节题，在听力过程中，应适时记录相关信息。【对的项分析】女士先提到了Have you taken any courses in data processing，在其后紧跟着又对其进行了解释data processin

46、g is a course you have to take before you can take computer programming。对于data processing在对话中反复出现，且与问题相符，故选择B选项。21. A) Thursday evening, from 7:00 to 9:45.A) 周四晚，7点至9点45分。B) From September 1 to New Years eve.B) 从9月1号至新年前夕。C) Every Monday, lasting for 12 weeks.C) 每周一，连续12周。D) Three hours a week, 45 hours in total.D) 一星期三小时，总共45小时【听音指导】由选项即可知本题考察数字的细节题，且考察的数字为连续的时间，初步推测为某一课程所连续的时间。所以如在听力过程中涉及数字都要作笔记，且应注意数字的上下文场景。【对的项分析】对该问题的回答，信息较分散，最初提到了e
