  答案:

  【范文】

  Digital Age

  Digital products, in contemporary society, are being widely used. They have become an indispensable part in our work and life, from laptops and projectors for studying and teaching, electronic dictionaries and e-books for reading and information searching, to digital cameras and iPod for entertainments.

  The influence coupled, as you can imagine, are in abundance. Firstly, digital products bring us efficiency in work by saving time and energy, contributing to the development in economy. Secondly, with all tools like e-books and digital materials, we can study more effectively. Finally, convenience that they provide to our daily life speaks for itself.

  To make digital products more productive, we should have a correct attitude toward them. Appropriate use of digital products could well enhance the efficiency and make our work and study easier. On the contrary, the overuse and misuse of them would definitely do harm rather than good. Therefore, we should make good use of them, while keeping a clear mind of their disadvantages.

  Part Ⅱ Listening Comprehension

  Section A

  1. C

  M: The biological project is now in trouble. You know, my colleague and I have completely different ideas about how to proceed.

  W: Why don’t you compromise? Try to make it a win-win situation for you both.

  Q: What does the woman suggest the man do?

  【听前预测】

  1.四项均以动词原形开头。

  2.两项提到同事(colleague)。

  结论:对话应该是工作场景,可能提问接下来要怎么做或建议某人做什么。

  【解析】本题是建议题,考查女士建议男士如何做,应重点关注女士所说内容。男士说生物项目遇到麻烦了,他的同事和他意见不同。女士建议他们相互妥协,尝试达到双赢。可见女士建议男士妥协,故选C。反问句Why don’t you do sth. ?常用于提建议。

  2.B

  M: How does Nancy like the new dress she bought in Rome?

  W: She said she would never have bought an Italian style dress if she had known Mary had already got such a dress.

  Q: What do we learn from the conversation?

  【听前预测】

  1.四项提及两个人物——Mary和Nancy。

  2.三项均与服饰、时尚有关(style,dress,fashion),两项与购物有关(buying,shopping)。

  结论:对话很可能与买衣服有关,注意区分两个人物的行为。

  【解析】男士问女士南希觉得她在罗马买的那条裙子怎么样,女士说南希要是知道玛丽有一条一样的裙子,就不会买那条意大利风格的裙子了。由此可推断,南希后悔买了那条裙子,故选B。

  3.A

  M: You are not going to do all those dishes before we leave, are you? If we don’t pick up George and Martha in 25 minutes, we will never get to the theater on time.

  W: Oh, didn’t I tell you? Martha called to say her daughter was ill and they could not go tonight.

  Q: What is the woman probably going to do first?

  【听前预测】

  1.四项均以动词原形开头。

  2.四项中提到了三个人物(George,Martha,her daughter)

  结论:本题各项间没有相同成分,缺乏联系,因此仅靠选项很难推断对话内容。另外可推测本题提问某人的行为,注意选项中提及的人物及其行为。

  【解析】本题问女士将先做什么。对话中男士问女士出门前不会要把盘子都洗完吧,接着又说,如果他们不在25分钟内去接乔治和玛莎,他们就无法准时到达电影院了。女士说玛莎打电话来说她女儿病了,他们今晚不去了。由此可知,他们不需要去接乔治和玛莎,所以女士会先洗盘子,故选A。本题需要理解整个对话内容才能做出正确选择。

  4.C

  M: You’ve been hanging on to the phone for quite a while. Who were you talking with?

  W: Oh, it was Sally. You know, she always has the latest news in town and can’t wait to talk it over with me.

  Q: What do we learn about Sally from the conversation?

  【听前预测】

  1.四项均以she开头。

  2.两项含有woman。

  结论:选项中提到了两位女性,the woman应该指的是录音中说话的女士,故she应为对话中谈及的第三人,听音时应注意与第三人相关的内容。

  【解析】本题问从对话中可了解有关萨利的什么信息。男士问女士在和谁打电话,女士回答说是萨利,接着说萨利总有镇上的最新消息,而且迫不及待地想告诉她。由此可见,萨利急切地想和女士分享消息,故选C。

  5. B

  W: It’s always been hard to get this car into first gear, and now the clutch seems to be slipping.

  M: If you leave the car with me, I will fix it for you this afternoon.

  Q: Who is the woman probably speaking to?

  【听前预测】四项均为职业。

  结论:对话提问某人的职业。

  【解析】女士说这辆车很难挂上一挡,离合也打滑。男士说如果把车放在他那,他下午可以帮忙修。由此可推断,男士是机修工,故选B。mechanic意为“机修工”。

  6.D

  M: Kate, why does the downtown area look deserted now?

  W: Well, there used to be some really good stores, but lots of them moved out to the mall.

  【解析】男士问女士市中心为什么这么萧条,女士说这里曾经有很多好商店,但很多都搬到商场里去了。由此可见,市中心现在没什么生意,故选D。

  7.B

  W: I found the lounge such a cozy place to study in. I really like the feeling in sitting on the sofa and doing the reading.

  M: Well, for me the hardest part about studying here is staying awake.

  Q: What does the man mean?

  【听前预测】

  2.两项提到了地点(lounge,a cozy place)。

  结论:对话很可能与学习有关,涉及学习的地点。

  【解析】女士说她发现休息室是个学习的好地方,她很喜欢坐在沙发里读书的感觉。男士说对他来说,在休息室学习最大的困难就是保持清醒。由此可推断,男士不适合在休息室学习,故选B。

  8.C

  W: These mosquito bites are killing me. I can’t help scratching.

  M: Next time you go camping, take some precautions, say wearing long sleeves.

  Q: Why does the man suggest the woman wear long sleeves?

  【听前预测】

  1.四项均以不定式开头。

  2.四项均与病痛或身体不适有关(scratches,pain,mosquito bites,sunburnt)。

  结论:本题考查目的或原因,且该目的或原因与避免身体不适有关。

  Conversation One

  M: Hello, and [9] welcome to our program "Working Abroad". Our guest this evening is a Londoner, who lives and works in Italy. Her name’s Susan Hill. Susan, welcome to the program. You live in Florence. How long have you been living there?

  W: Since 1982. But when I went there in 1982, [10] I planned to stay for only 6 months.

  M: Why did you change your mind?

  W: Well, I’m a designer. I design leather goods, mainly shoes, and handbags. Soon after I arrived in Florence, I got a job with one of Italy’s top fashion houses, Ferregamo. So, I decided to stay.

  M: How lucky! Do you still work for Ferregamo?

  W: No, [11] I’ve been a freelance designer for quite a long time now. Since 1988, in fact.

  M: So does that mean you design for several different companies now?

  W: Yes, that’s right. I’ve designed many fashion items for a number of Italian companies, and in the last four years, I’ve also been designing for the British company, Burberry’s.

  M: What have you been designing for them?

  W: Mostly handbags, and small leather goods.

  M: Has the fashion industry in Italy changed since 1982?

  W: Oh, yes. [12] It’s become a lot more competitive, because the quality of products from other countries has improved a lot. But Italian quality and design is still world-famous.

  M: And do you ever think of returning to live in England?

  W: No, not really. Working in Italy is more interesting. I also love the Mediterranean sun and the Italian lifestyle.

  M: Well, thank you for talking to us, Susan.

  W: It was a pleasure.

  9. Where does this talk most probably take place?

  10. What was the woman’s original plan when she went to Florence?

  11. What has the woman been doing for a living since 1988?

  12. What do we learn about the change in Italy’s fashion industry?

  9.A

  【听前预测】由四个选项的特点可知,本题是对地点的考查。听音时要以四个地点词为线索,集中精力听与之相关的内容,然后再根据问题做出判断。

  【解析】在对话的开头,男士说:“欢迎参加我们的节目‘工作在国外’。我们今晚的嘉宾是一个伦敦人……”因此可以推断该对话发生在演播室,故A项正确。
