14、ibi, said four men on motorcycles initially opened fire on a parked passenger bus at a hotel. The armed men then came close to the bus and splashed petrol, setting it on fire, he said. He said most of the dead were either children or women. Balochistan, near the Afghan border, is rich in natural res
15、ources. But it is also in under a riot. Militants there have for years complained that the central government has paid little attention to them and their economic needs. They have been fighting Pakistani military forces for self-rule. Pakistan has said the militants in Balochistan do not have links
16、to the Islamic hard-liners who have launched attacks in other parts of the country. Who were most of the victims according to the news?解析 受害者大部分是巴士上的女性和儿童，因此选C项“平民，百姓”。预读选项时可发现选项A、B、D分别是持武器的人、武装分子和不妥协者，只有C项“平民”是处于弱势地位的群体，最有可能是victims。2、C听力原文 What are the militants in Balochistan dissatisfied with?解析
17、 新闻中提到，武装分子多年来一直埋怨中央政府(central government)忽略他们和他们的经济需求。因此选C项。A项“停放着的公交”是事件发生的地方，B项“摩托车上持武器的人”是纵火人，D项“伊斯兰的反叛者”是发动其他地区袭击的反叛者，这些都与问题无关。3、C听力原文 A UN agency says there are major funding gaps in efforts to help the agricultural sector adapt to climate change. The Food and Agriculture Organization, the FAO
18、, says this could affect food security. The warning comes as the UN Climate Change Conference continues in Cancun, Mexico. The World Bank estimates it will cost about $2.5 billion a yearfor the next 40 yearsto help agriculture in developing countries adapt to climate change. Other estimates say cost
19、s could run as high as $14 billion a year. However, the FAO says, Available financing mechanisms are substantially insufficient to meet the climate change and food security challenges faced by the agricultural sector. This, despite the fact that the FAO says there are many examples of how agricultur
20、e can become more. According to the world bank, how much does it cost to tackle agricultural challenges yearly?解析 新闻中指出，世界银行估计在今后的40年时间里，协助发展中国家的农业适应气候变化，每年得花费25个亿。而有些人认为每年的费用将高达140亿。本题问的是世界银行的估算，故答案为C项。本题是数字题，听音时可边看数字边选择。A项中的140亿是其他人的估计，B项400亿是利用“40年”这个时间跨度作干扰，D项“25亿”未提到。4、D听力原文 According to FAO, w
21、hat is the problem faced by the agricultural sector?解析 FAO指出，现有的融资机制远不能应对农业部门所面临的气候变化及食品安全挑战(Available financing mechanisms are.insufficient)，这就是农业部门所面临的问题，D项复现了原文，只不过是将原文句子简化成短语了。5、A听力原文 The U.S. Federal Reserve announced yesterday it was raising interest rates for the first time since 2006. Known
22、as the Fed, its Americas central bank. Its led by Janet Yellen. Its job is to help stabilize Americas financial system. The Fed makes moves to try to lower unemployment and control inflation, when the price of goods goes up too fast for people to afford them. Because the U.S. economy is growing, the
23、 Fed raised its key interest rate by a quarter of a percentage point, not much. But gradual rate increases are likely in the New Year. That means youll have to pay more interest if you borrow money, higher loan rates for home buyers, higher interest rates if you finance a car, higher student loan ra
24、tes for people who enter colleges afterwards. Eventually, savings accounts could earn a little more interest. A decade since the last Star Wars, and nearly just as long, nine years, since the Fed last changed interest rates. But now, its time for the Fed to awaken, because after three episodes of qu
25、antitative easing, Janet Yellen must now use her most powerful weapon to restore balance in the economy. What will happen to interest rates in the US?解析 本题询问美国利率的变化(interest rates)，新闻开头提到自2006年以来，美联储第一次加息，由此可以推导出美国的利率提高了，因此选A项。6、B听力原文 Why did the Fed change interest rates?解析 本题询问美联储调整利率的原因，新闻中提到，美联储
26、此举是为了降低失业率(lower unemployment)和控制通货膨胀，因此选B项。A项“刺激房地产”和C项“资助汽车工业”和新闻内容不符，新闻只是提到美联储调息后人们要还更多房贷或车贷。D项“给更多人提供食物”没有在新闻中提到。7、D听力原文 Who will benefit from the change of interest rates?解析 本题问的是谁会在此次利率调整中受益，新闻中提到有存款的人会多得一些利息(earn a little more interest)，因此对于银行储户会有好处，故选D项。A项“负有货款的学生”和B项“需付贷款的户主”在新闻中均有提及，但加息后，学
27、生和购房者都要付更多银行贷款，都是受害者。C项的“低收入工人”在新闻中未提及。Section BConversation One8、B听力原文 M: What are you going to have? W: I have no idea. Could you help me with the menu? M: Yes, sure. These are starters, and these are main courses and these are desserts. See? W: Whats the alternative? M: The alternative is to orde
28、r a complete dinner. For a set price you get your choice of soup or juice, one dish with potato and vegetable, salad, bread and butter and sometimes coffee and sometimes dessert. W: And you pay the price listed next to the main course? M: Right. Like the roast beef dinner is $7.85plus tax and tip, o
29、f course. W: It all looks pretty expensive to me. M: Its not. This is only a bit more expensive than McDonalds. So enjoy yourself. Were celebrating, remember? Order anything youd like to try; its all on me. W: Youre very kind. M: Friends are friends. I cannot get promoted often. Are you ready to ord
30、er? W: Ah, can you tell me what Hot Fudge Sundae is? M: Thats a dessert. Its an English specialty. Its a kind of ice cream with a hot sticky sauce over the topvery sweet and fattening! W: I dont really like the sound of that. How come there is English food? I thought we agreed to eat American food.
31、M: Our country is made up of people from all over the world, so besides collected words and phrases from every language, weve also absorbed recipes. We even have a lot of Chinese restaurants now. W: Which is better, French or Chinese cuisine? M: Id say its a toss-up. I love them both. W: I didnt kno
32、w you were so fond of foreign foods. When my boss promotes me, I will take you to a French restaurant near my company. The food there is delicious. M: Oh, we will have a second dinner soon. Whats the relationship between the two speakers?解析 场景推理题。题目询问两个对话者是什么关系。对话开头女士没拿定主意吃什么，希望男士提些建议，很多考生以为男士是服务员，因
33、此选择A。也有人因为后文出现get promoted和my boss等用语，错选D。从全文来看，特别是男士说“friends are friends”，可知答案是B。9、D听力原文 Why does the woman think the man is kind?解析 由选项知，本题将问及男士为女士做了什么事。各选项主语都是“the man”，而宾语都与“她”相关。A项对话中并未提及，可以排除；B项和C项虽然是事实但却并非原因，故也可排除。对话中，女士觉得饭店的东西很贵，但男士让她想吃什么就点什么，这才是答案所在，故选D。10、A听力原文 Which of the following stat
34、ements is true about the mans country?解析 推理题。在对话中，男士谈到他们国家有来自世界各地的人，他们带来不同的语言和烹饪方法。C项中的famous与对话无关，B、D两项与事实相悖。之后他提到现在连(even)中国饭店也有很多了，即以前没有很多，因此A项正确。11、C听力原文 What does the man think of the woman?解析 四个选项主语都是He，谓语动词都表示心理情态动作，而宾语部分与“她”有关，故可推测，本题问男士对女士的看法。男士虽然没直接说过C项中的内容，但根据他说“不久就会再次一起吃饭”的预测，可以看出他非常相信女士
35、的工作能力，因为女士许诺升迁了也要请客，答案为C。A、B两项均与原文不符。题目询问的是男士对女士的看法，而D项描述的只是男士自己的喜恶情况，纯属答非所问，故D错误。Conversation Two12、B听力原文 M: Hi. Welcome to Heavenly Pies. May I take your order? W: Uh.yes. Id like the fried chicken steak. M: Okay. Would you like fries, bread, or rice with your meal? W: Umm. Ill take the rice. M: W
36、ould you care for anything to drink? W: Yeah. Ill take a medium Sprite. M: Okay. A medium Sprite. And what kind of dressing would you like with your salad? It comes with the fried steak. W: What dressings do you have? M: We have French, Italian, blue cheese, and ranch. W: Oh! Ranch, please. M: Would
37、 you like anything else? W: Well, Id like to see your pie menu. Thats the main reason why I like to dine here. M: Oh, Im sorry, but we arent serving pies today. W: Huh? M: Well, you see, Dave, our baker, slipped on a banana peel back in our kitchen two days ago, and injured his back. W: Oh, no. M: H
38、ell be out for at least two weeks. In the meantime, were serving ice cream sundaes instead. Sorry. W: Im sorry to hear that. I hope he gets better soon. What does the woman order?解析 选项均为食物名称，估计本对话发生的场景是餐馆，问供应或点了什么食物。对话开始处，侍者问“您要点什么?”女士回答说：“我来份炸鸡排。”接着，女士又点了米饭作主食，以雪碧为饮料。可见B正确。13、C听力原文 What king of dre
39、ssing does she ask for?解析 侍者说，点炸鸡排送一份沙拉，并问女士用什么样的沙拉调料。女士从侍者给出的四种调料中选了Ranch，故C正确。14、B听力原文 Why does the woman like to dine at Heavenly Pies?解析 选项均是“介词For+食物”，可推断提问与为了吃什么有关。女士说想看馅饼的菜单，说这是她为什么来这家餐馆吃饭的主要原因，可见她喜欢吃这家餐馆的馅饼，也即为了馅饼而来这家餐馆吃饭，故选B。其他三个选项的食物均可从对话中听到，但都不是女士来就餐的原因，均可排除。15、A听力原文 Why is the restaurant
40、 not serving pies today?解析 侍者解释为什么没有馅饼供应时说：“两天前我们的面包师在厨房里踩到香蕉皮滑倒了，背部受了伤。”故A正确。Section CPassage One16、D听力原文 Nowadays motorcycling is fast becoming one of Americans most popular sports. However, there are several things about motorcycling that the average citizen dislikes. Motorcyclists frequently get
41、 dirty. In fact, they are dirty. On the road there is little to protect them from mud, insects and bird droppings. For practical reasons, they are often dressed in old clothing, which looks much less respectable than the clothing of people who ride in cars. For the same reason, motorcyclists usually
42、 wear dark colors. Of course, the danger of motorcycling also helps account for many peoples low opinion of the sport. Its defenders, however, claim that careful cyclists are in less danger than its commonly believed. He must pay careful attention to his driving. From that point of view, a man on a
43、motorcycle is safer than a man in a car. Why do motorcyclists often dress in old and dark clothing?解析 读题，主题词包括they，clothes，motorcycle。由此可大体推测本文的话题，从而为听的过程提供了背景。文中提到“骑摩托车的人经常浑身脏兮兮的。因为路上没有什么东西为他们遮挡泥土，以及昆虫和鸟类的粪便。”故选D。17、D听力原文 Whats the average citizens opinion about motorcycling?解析 短文开头处however后的内容是听力重
44、点。听到the average citizen dislikes可知，普通市民对骑摩托车持负面态度。A、B、C均是正面态度，唯有D与此相符。此外，短文后面具体说到，骑摩托车危险，所以人们对其评价不高。由此也可选出D。18、C听力原文 How can a motorcyclist be safer than a car driver?解析 由四个条件句可知，本题将问到某个细节。原文结尾处两次提到careful，并且说从这个角度来看，骑摩托车的人比开车的人更安全。Passage Two19、C听力原文 Speech is one of the most important ways of comm
45、unicating. It consists of far more than just making noises. To talk and also to be understood by other people, we have to speak a language, that is, we have to use combinations of sounds that everyone agrees stand for a particular object or idea. Communication would be impossible if everyone made up their own language. Learning a language properly is very important. The basic vocabulary of English is not very large, and only about 2,000 words are needed to speak it quite well. But the more words you know, the more ideas
