题型有：1. Which of the following is the best title for the passage?
8．
A．Cooking.
B．Cleaning.
C．Skin care.
D．Painting.
正确答案：C
解析：短文第2句开始谈植物油的用处，提到了cooking，paint和cleaning
products，只有C项未提及，因而它就是答案。 知识模块：短文听力
9．
A．50%.
B．40%.
C．30%.
D．20%.
正确答案：D
解析：短文提到，大豆的含油量为20%，故选D。百分比作选项，难点不在猜测问题是什么类型，而在于对文中出现的每个百分比(50%和20％)做出准确的笔记。在听到问题后才能根据笔记作答。 知识模块：短文听力
10．
A．How to release oil from seeds.
B．How to test the local market for oil.
C．Food and oil.
D．Soybean and oil.
正确答案：A
解析：短文第1句指出，人类使用植物(种子)油有着漫长的历史。然后谈到植物油的用途，主要的植物油来源以及如何提取植物油，因此，本文的主题是A。从选项的高度概括性来看，本题当问文章的主旨大意。核心词是oil，然后每个选项都给出了另一个关键词：seeds，market，food，soybean。本文多处提到oil和seeds，因此不难选出答案。其他几项的关键词只是文章中的局部内容，不能充当主题。 知识模块：短文听力
听力原文： A new book by two professors at Pennsylvania State University
compares public education systems around the world. The book is called National
Differences, Global Similarities: World Culture and the Future of Schooling.
David Baker and Gerald LeTendre led a group of researchers who gathered
information on about 50 countries. Some findings came from the Third International
Mathematics and Science Study. That study took place in 1994 and again five years
later. The professors say education is increasingly shaped by what they call
“transnational forces”. Officials in many countries are concerned about how their
students compare with students in other countries. Each part of the book develops
a different subject researched in schools around the world. One of the subjects is
violence among students. The professors say countries with the most school violence
include Hungary, Romania and the Philippines. They say the United States is
somewhere in the middle, above nations like New Zealand, Canada, South Korea,
Spain and Australia The findings are based on reports from students. Professor
Baker says inequalities in educational systems act as an influence. He says schools
that are sharply divided between “winners and losers” in math have higher levels of
violence. “This does not mean that nations should stop trying to raise scores,” he says.
“But they should be careful to raise the performance among all students.” 22. What is
the title of the book?23. What can we learn about the book from the passage?24.
Where did the study find the most school violence?25. Which opinion would
Professor Baker support?
11．
A．National Similarities and Global Differences.
B．World Culture and the Future of Schooling.
C．National Differences, Global Similarities: World Culture and the Future of
Schooling.
D．National Similarities, Global Differences: World Culture and the Future of
Schooling.
正确答案：C
解析：C是由短文提到的书名照搬下来的选项。四个选项都是专有名词，或者问短文的主旨大意，或者问别的什么标题。C、D的差异只在一个词上(similarities与differences)，听录音时要多注意。 知识模块：短文听力
12．
A．The book was written by David Baker.
B．We can find information on about 15 countries in the book.
C．The professors started to write the book in 1994.
D．The book compares public education systems around the world.
正确答案：D
解析：短文第1句即提到：宾夕法尼亚州立大学的两位教授的一本新书比较了世界各地的公共教育体制。因此D正确。短文第1句往往是出题的重点。听到什么选什么。 知识模块：短文听力
13．
A．Hungary, Malaysia and the Philippines.
B．Hungary, Romania and the Philippines.
C．Spain, Romania and the Philippines.
D．Hungary, Australia and Iraq.
正确答案：B
解析：文中提到：“两位教授说，校园暴力最多的国家包括匈牙利、罗马尼亚和菲律宾。”因此B正确。读题可知，本题问到几个国家名称，这几个国家有着某种共同点。听音时，可一项项“对号入座”。语义强调之处会出题，文中the
most school violence成了选项的标志。 知识模块：短文听力
14．
A．School violence has nothing to do with the educational system.
B．Schools should stop trying to raise scores.
C．Schools should treat every student equally.
D．Schools should divide students into “winners and losers”.
正确答案：C
解析：短文最后说到：“Baker教授说，教育体制的不平等产生了影响。”C正确。A、B、D的观点也可以对照短文最后的内容一一排除。此外，绝对化的选项不是答案，可排除A。B、D的观点也不符合一般情理。 知识模块：短文听力
听力原文： The space shuttle Discovery has safely returned to earth after 2
weeks in earth’s orbit. Discovery commander Eileen Collins guided the shuttle to an
easy landing at Edwards Air Force Base in California early Tuesday. American Space
Agency officials described Discovery’s trip as wildly successful. But they refused to
say when the shuttle may fly again. The Space Agency has suspended all future
shuttle flights until it can discover why a piece of hard protective material broke off
from Discovery. A similar incident damaged the Columbia space shuttle in 2003.
Columbia was destroyed as it reentered earth’s atmosphere. Japan has marked the
60th anniversary of the atomic bomb attack on the city of Nagasaki. The American
bombings of Nagasaki and Hiroshima ended World War II. Nagasaki Mayor Iccho
Itoh called for a world ban on nuclear weapons. He urged Americans to ask if the

militants in Balochistan dissatisfied with?
1．
A．Armed men.

1．
A．Their health becomes worse.
B．They don’t fight as hard as before.
C．They won’t get the benefit of pension.
D．They receive less education.
正确答案：C
解析：新闻提到，下一代的退休人员失去了一项退休福利(won’t have a
retirement benefit)，这项“福利计划”(defined-benefit plan)也就是“养老金”(pension)，C“他们得不到养老金的福利”与新闻内容相符。新闻中有提到这批退休人员将是美国有史以来最健康、教育程度最高、最富有的，据此可排除A、D。B利用新闻中的fought hard作干扰，新闻是说这个pension的制度是上一辈人努力争取出来的结果，并没有说“下一代退休人员不努力”。 知识模块：听力

the woman suggest the man do before running the ads?
9．
A．Running an antique shop.
B．Different kinds of advertisements.
C．Advertising on the newspaper.
D．Launching a weekend program.
正确答案：C
解析：主旨题。男士想知道怎样在报纸上登广告，此后工作人员一直在为他介绍登广告的费用、具体的登法等等，因此答案为C。A、B两项在对话中虽然提到了，但并不是对话者谈论的主题；D在对话中并未提及。 知识模块：听力
10．
A．Different types of ads cost the same.
B．The cheaper the ad is, the more people will notice it.
C．The larger the ad is, the more it costs.
D．The more complicated the ad is, the more it costs.
正确答案：C
解析：细节题。女士的介绍非常清晰：广告类型不同价格也不同(A与此相反)，主要考虑两点：一是版面大小(即C)，二是出现频率。由此可知，本题选C。女士没有提到广告费用的高低与人们对该广告的关注度之间存在因果关系，B错误，此外B也不大符合常理；女士也没有提到广告的复杂程度是否与价格构成正比关系，D无据可查。 知识模块：听力

A.Learn about the history of American society.
B.Appreciate the contributions of African Americans. √
C.Visit famed national museums and monuments.
D.Donate money to build new museums.
解析：解析：新闻中提到，二月是黑人历史月，鼓励美国人去了解以及感恩非裔美国人对美国社会做出的众多贡献，故B正确。A“学习美国历史”、C“参观著名的国家博物馆和纪念碑”和D“捐款建造一座新的博物馆”都不是黑人历史月鼓励美国人去做的事。
A.To join association of museums.
B.To collect money from architects.
C.To choose donors.
D.To build a new museum. √
解析：解析：新闻中提到，Smithsonian Institution宣布要建一个“非裔美国人历史与文化国家博物馆”(National Museum of African American History and Culture)。故答案为D“建造新博物馆”。A利用新闻中的join和museum制造干扰，但“博物馆协会”没有在新闻中出现。新闻中提到建造博物馆之前，要先选定建筑师(architect must be chosen)、征集收藏品(collection must be assembled)和募捐建造博物馆的费用(half…price tag must be provided from private donors)，B、C项胡乱拼凑了这些信息点，并不是Smithsonian Institution真正要做的事。

正确答案： Dear Mr. Zhang, I would like to send my apologies to you
for not being able to keep our 10 o’clock appointment. The reason why I didn’t
keep the promise is that I witnessed a traffic accident on my way to school. The

there is education, there come examinations. In the picture, a student expresses his
