听力原文：W: Stan, do you have a minute?M: Oh, hi, Cathy, sure. What’s up?W: I’ve been meaning to talk to you about the situation in the office.M: I’m not in that very often. It’s so noisy that I can’t work.W: That’s exactly what I’m getting at. We’re supposed to be able to do our preparation and marking in that office. But have you noticed? Jack constantly has students coming in to get help with his course. A lot of people are going in and out. M: Has anyone spoken to him about it? W: No, not yet. But someone’s going to have to.M: We really can’t ask him to stop having students come in for help, can we? W: No, of course not. But I’m not able to do my work and neither are you. I imagine it’s the same for the others in the office. M: Hum... could we ask for a kind of meeting room? When TAs have to talk with the students, they could go to the meeting room and not use the office. You know, there’s a room down the hall, a rather small room that we could ask to use. It’s only for storing supplies. W: You mean that little storage room? Oh, that would be too small. M: Are you sure?
With the cabinets taken out, it might be bigger than it looks. W: Come to think of it, you may be on to something. I’d like to take a look at that room. Can we go there now? M: Sure, let’s go. 9. What problem at the office are Cathy and Stan discussing?10. Why do Jack’s students come to see him?11. What does Stan suggest they do?12. What does Cathy say about Stan’s suggestion?
9．
A．How to get Jack out of the office.
B．How to improve the situation in the office. C．How to move to another office.
D．How to work in a noisy environment.
正确答案：B
解析：选项是四个相关性不大的话题，预测可能是主旨题。女士开头便说明想找男士谈谈办公室的环境，男士指出办公室很吵，女士进一步表示“那正是我想要指出的(getting at)”，由此可知，对话主要和B相关。 知识模块：听力
10．
A．They want to get some help from Jack. B．They want to talk to Jack about everything. C．Jack is a very popular teacher.
D．Jack wants to show he’s a good teacher.
正确答案：A
解析：选项都围绕Jack展开，所以听到Jack这个名字时，要特别注意。根据“杰克常常让学生进来给他们辅导”，可判断A正确。 知识模块：听力
11．
A．They can ask to use a room as the meeting room. B．They can talk to Jack about it.
C．They can stop every student from coming. D．They can report this to the administrator.
正确答案：A
解析：选项分别是可以采取的方式，此题为细节题。根据男士所说“我们可以请求得到会议室之类的吗?”选A。对话中Stan问道：“有人就此事与杰克谈过吗?”这并非建议，故不选B项；C项在对话中已被否认；D项未提及。 知识模块：听力
12．
A．His suggestion might work. B．His suggestion is pointless.
C．She is disappointed by the suggestion. D．She thinks Stan is joking.
正确答案：A
解析：选项是对男士所提建议的评价。当男士告诉女士那个房间并不小时，女士马上说：“细想一下，也许你言之有理。我想看看那个房间。我们可以现在去那儿吗?”所以选A。其实选项B与C有相似性，所以肯定都是错的；D未提及。 知识模块：听力
听力原文：M: The weather forecast says it will rain today.W: Yeah, doesn’t it always? They’ve been saying that for a week and I haven’t seen much sign of it so far.M: Yeah, but look. This time maybe they’re on target. The sky’s very dark. I got a feeling the rain will be heavy.W: If it’s raining heavily after class, wait for me and I’ll bring you an umbrella.M: That’s kind of you to offer, but don’t worry I’ll probably just wait it out.W: By the way, what are the chances that you might be able to have a word with Professor Simpson in Criminology class? We still need some resources for our Psychology project and his input might help.M: I could ask him, although I don’t know how eager he’d be to give us information about such a topic.W: Oh, come on, he’s always so helpful. Why would he even hesitate?M: Well, he has this mind set, which opposes the notion that criminals must necessarily be psychologically abnormal. He feels it’s just a stereotype.W: Ok. But when it comes to certain crimes like mass murder, there must be a few “marbles loose”.M: You would think so. But it’s hard to convince Simpson that anyone’s crazy.W: Perhaps he’d make a good reference source in the section where we include counter-arguments to our main thesis.M: Good thinking. Let’s give it a shot.W: That’s the spirit!13. Why does the woman seem unconvinced that it will rain today?14. Why do the man and woman want to talk to Mr. Simpson?15. What is Simpson’s view towards criminals?
13．
A．She can’t see any sign of it outside. B．She doesn’t believe the man.
C．She thinks the forecast has not been accurate this week. D．She doesn’t want it to happen.
正确答案：C
解析：男士提到天气预报说今天要下雨时，女士表示，一个星期以来，天气预报天天说要下雨，但一直没看到任何下雨的迹象。由此可知她已经不相信天气预报了，故C正确。选项A可能会误选，注意时态与原文的不同。长对话的第一个话轮常设考点。 知识模块：听力
14．
A．He is a psychology professor with much knowledge. B．His views during arguments are very powerful.
C．He may be able to add information to a research paper. D．He has personal experience in this field.
正确答案：C
解析：女士提到Simpson教授后，说：“我们的心理学方案还需要些素材，
从他那儿也许可以得到帮助。”由此可知他们想要找Mr．Simpson的目的是C。 知识模块：听力
15．
A．He rejects labeling criminals.
B．He thinks criminals have certain psychological problems. C．He thinks criminals are abnormal. D．He thinks that criminals are crazy.
正确答案：A
解析：从选项中共有的He，thinks，criminals等词，猜测本题很有可能问He对罪犯的观点。男士说道：“他(Simpson教授)有这么一种固定的想法，反对罪犯一定是心理不正常这种观点，他觉得那仅仅是一种老套的思维。”A中的rejects是对原文opposes的同义替换，故A正确。B、C、D均与长对话中的含义相反，均不正确。长对话中对问句的答语往往是考点所在。 知识模块：听力

听力原文： Yellow Pages advertising is directory advertising because it tells people where to go to get the product or service. It reaches prospects—people who already know they have a need for the product or service. Directory advertising is the only form of advertising that is actively consulted by prospects who need or want to buy something.

For some small business, the advertising is generated from local businesses. A Yellow Pages ad is the last step in the search for a product or service by a committed consumer. The Yellow Pages are used primarily for comparison shopping. Although the advertisement doesn’t have to attract the attention of an indifferent audience, it does have to stand out in a competitive environment. The decision about which store to call or visit will be based on certain criteria, the size of the ad being the first. Larger ads get more attention than small ones. Other decision factors include convenience, range of products or services, and the reputation or image of the store. The most important feature of Yellow Pages advertising is the category system. Certain information is critical to Yellow Pages ads including location, hours and graphics. A recent development in directory advertising is the electronic Yellow Pages, a database accessed by computer. 16. What is the basic use for the Yellow Pages?17.

听力原文： One of the complaints of city residents, not surprisingly, is the lack of parking. This problem is partly caused by all the abandoned cars on the streets. It has been estimated by A to Z Towing Inc., a nationwide tow-truck agency, that[19]over one million cars are abandoned on the streets and alleyways of the nation’s cities. Each year, approximately a third of those cars are removed and destroyed. The rest of the cars, which are not removed, take up parking spaces and make neighborhoods look rundown. A survey of twenty cities by A to Z reports that as much as 30 million dollars is spent annually to tow away and dismantle abandoned vehicles. One city alone, Los Angeles, spends five million dollars a year to control the accumulation of abandoned cars on its streets. Even though the city spends so much money on the program, it is always fighting a losing battle as more and more cars are constantly coming off the production line. Boston, on the other hand, which spends most of its money on museums and libraries, does not appropriate tax money to clear abandoned cars off the streets. In Boston the problem has been dealt with by a non-profit government agency called Street Horizons, which uses the money from the recycling of metal in the cars to pay for the cost of towing them. The program in Boston sounds good although it has not completely reached financial independence from the federal government yet. Until a truly self-sufficient program for removing old cars is developed, it will remain a serious problem. 19. How many cars are towed from the streets each year?20. What is Street Horizons?21. What is the
problem with abandoned cars?
19．
A．Hundreds of thousands of cars. B．Thirty million old cars. C．One million junked cars. D．Five million cars altogether.
正确答案：A
解析：数字计算题。根据one million和a third of those cars可推算出每年大概有几十万辆车被拖走，故选A。 知识模块：听力
20．
A．A federal government agency.
B．A car removal center in Los Angeles. C．A place where old cars are fixed. D．An agency that tries to clear the cars.
正确答案：D
解析：答案为D。a non-profit government agency不等于a federal government agency，故A错。 知识模块：听力

A．They encourage homelessness. B．They are a safety hazard. C．They take up parking spaces. D．They can be stolen.
正确答案：C
解析：概括录音开头两句即可得出答案是C。 知识模块：听力
听力原文： Albert Schweitzer was born in 1875 in Alsace. At that time, it was a part of Germany. His generous spirit was first awakened through his training as a preacher. Besides gaining a reputation as a preacher, he also became respected for his ability to play the organ.[25]He was a man of many talents. His concern for other people turned his attention to medicine. He had also acquired doctoral degrees in philosophy and music. His wife took an interest in medicine also and became a nurse. Many people thought that he should remain and lecture in Europe to have a strong impact on Western civilization. Though he listened to their suggestions, he ultimately decided to follow his own conscience. This led him to Africa. Albert had felt that all men should accept the responsibility of helping others. He felt particularly concerned for black Africans who had been exploited by white men. He earned the money he needed by performing on the organ and by lecturing. With this money he bought equipment and opened a hospital in Africa. He was a man of great strength who faced great problems with courage. The treat of war, the reality of imprisonment during
World War One as a German citizen and the unbearable heat in Africa did not make him retreat at all. He believed that a man could overcome these obstacles if he had a sense of idealism. He died in 1965. 22. How was Albert’s generous spirit awakened?23. What was he respected for?24. According to Albert, what should all men accept?25. What do we learn about Albert?
