Part III Listening Comprehension Section A

11. W: I thought you were going to drive carefully so you wouldn’t get a traffic ticket. M: I was, but it didn’t work out that way. Q: What happened to the man on that day?

【听前预测】选项中的He，traffic ticket， drove carelessly等表明，对话可能与He因粗心驾车而受罚有关。

【解 析】选[B]。女士提到的…drive carefully...wouldn’t get a traffic ticket和男士提到的but it didn’t work out that way表

明，男士收到了罚单（get a traffic ticket），故答案为[B]。 12. M: I don’t think Jim particularly likes his cousin. What do you say?

【听前预测】选项表明，本题考查地点场所，考生需要快速浏览选项，并在听音时捕捉关键信息对号入座。

【解 析】选[C]。由女士提到的These tomatoes...watered them和男士提到的...ripe enough to pick by the next Friday

when we have our picnic可推断出，对话可能发生在菜园，而不是在一次野餐上，故答案为[C]。 Now you will hear the two long conversations.

Conversation One

【听前预测】选项中多次出现Newspaper以及circulation，advertisements，news section，read等表明，对话与报纸有关，涉及报纸的发行量、广告及读者的选择等。 W: I often read two newspapers. Washington Post and The Sun. What about you?

M: I will buy the newspaper whose headlines catch my eyes in the front page. Do you buy the two newspapers

everyday?

W: Yes, that way I’m sure not to miss my favorite sections. Doesn’t the size of the daily paper surprise you?

M: Yes, it certainly does. The newspaper staff — the reporters, writers, editors, and linotype operators — must be busy

continuously. They need a large circulation to support such a staff, don’t they? W: I’m sure they do. Of course, much of a newspaper’s income comes from advertisements. M: That’s true. You try to read the whole paper, don’t you?

W: No. I just read the parts that interest me. I glance at the headlines, but I read the sports page and the business section

carefully. Do you read those?

M: No, but I do read the editorials and the news section. You saw the article about the earthquake in Japan, didn’t you? W: Yes. That was a terrible disaster. Do you think newspapers should print stories like that?

M: Certainly they should! They’re part of the news of the day and people want to know about them. Don’t you agree? W: Yes, I suppose disasters are news, too. It seems to me that newspapers would be more pleasant to read if they had a large

society section and more comic strips. Don’t you like to read articles about celebrations and happy events?

M: Yes, I enjoy reading them. But since you don’t like to read unhappy news, why do you subscribe to two newspapers?

If I were you, I wouldn’t read a newspaper at all.

Questions 19 to 22 are based on the conversation you have just heard. 19. What sort of newspaper will the man buy?

选[B]。由选项均为具有不同特点的报纸可知，本题考查报纸的类型。由男士提到的I will buy the newspaper 【解析】

whose headlines catch my eyes可知，他会选择有吸引人的标题的报纸，故答案为[B]。 【点睛】whose headlines catch my eyes in the front page为定语从句，先行词为newspaper。 20. What surprises the speakers?

【解析】选[A]。选项中重复出现的daily newspaper以及size，staff，circulation等表明，本题可能考查日报某方面的特点。女士问道Doesn’t the size of the daily paper surprise you，男士回答Yes, it certainly does，由此可知，使他们感到吃惊的是日报的size，故答案为[A]。

【点睛】对话中也提到了日报的staff, circulation和advertisement，但均不是使人感到吃惊的内容，故排除其他三项。 21. Which part of the newspaper does the woman usually read?

【解析】选[B]。选项中的whole paper，parts that interest her，news section only等表明，本题可能考查女士对报纸内容的阅读喜好。由女士提到的I just read the parts that interest me可知，答案为[B]。 22. Why doesn’t the woman enjoy reading about disasters in the daily newspaper?

【解析】选[B]。选项中的They，not news，aren’t pleasant，difficult to understand等表明，本题可能考查某人不喜欢

阅读某类新闻的原因。对话中女士提到newspapers would be more pleasant to read if they had a large society section

and more comic strips，根据男士提到的since you don’t like to read unhappy news可知，女士不喜欢灾难新闻是因为它们读起来不愉快，故答案为[B]。

Conversation Two

【听前预测】选项中的school，university，course，projects，different countries等表明，对话可能与上大学有关。 (Knock, knock…) M: Come in.

W: Good morning, Mr. Brown.

M: Oh, come in, Mary. I’ve been expecting you. Take a seat. W: Thanks.

M: And what can I do for you?

W: Well, I was thinking about taking a year off after we finish school this summer, and I wanted some advice. M: I see. You mean putting off going to university for a year?

W: That’s right. I’ve been offered a place at London University, but what I’d really like to do is take a year out first — do

something different, maybe go abroad.

M: So were you thinking of getting some sort of job, or traveling around? I mean, is your main aim to earn some money,

or to do something else? Or do you want to do a bit of both?

W: I’d really like to travel — but I don’t have any money. But I’ve heard of an organization called Peterson International — and that’s what I want to ask you about. Do you know anything about it?

M: Sure. It’s a charity and it’s aimed very much at young people like you, and what they do is to get teams of young people to work together on various projects all over the world — environment projects, community projects, that sort of thing.

W: Mum, it sounds great. Is it just English people on the projects?

M: No, they’re international teams. You’d be working with quite a variety of people. Questions 23 to 25 are based on the conversation you have just heard. 23. When does Mary want to take a year off?

【解析】选[D]。选项中的Before/ After/ During/Between等表明，本题考查时间，问题以When开头。对话中女士提到…I was thinking about taking a year off after we finish school this summer，男士问You mean putting off going to university for a year，女士的肯定回答That’s right表明，女士想请假一年，推迟一年进入大学，故答案为[D]。 【点睛】[D]在对话中没有直接体现，而是根据双方就请假一事的讨论推断出来的。 24. What project does Peterson International carry out?

【解析】选[B]。选项中重复出现的projects表明，本题与某种项目有关。对话双方在谈论Peterson International 时，男士提到It’s a charity…and what they do is to get…people to work together on various projects all over the world — environment projects, community projects, that sort of thing，由此可知，此项目是关注环境和社会，故答案为[B]。 【点睛】在…and what they do is to get terms of young people to…中，what引导主语从句，在从句中作do的宾语，is

后的to…是动词不定式作表语。

25. Where do the people in the Peterson International teams come from?

【解析】选[C]。由男士提到的they’re international teams可知，Peterson International的成员来自不同的国家，故答

案为[C]。

Section B

Passage One

【听前预测】选项中的hunting，hunters，animals，hunt for food/money等表明，短文可能与捕猎有关，涉及捕猎的原因等。 The days of the hunter are almost over in India. This is partly because there is practically nothing left to kill, and partly because some steps have been taken, mainly by banning tiger-shooting, to protect those animals which still survive.

Some people say that Man is a natural hunter. I disagree with this view. Surely our earliest forefathers, who at first possessed no weapons, spent their time digging for roots, and were no doubt themselves often hunted by meat-eating animals.

I believe the main reason why the modern hunter kills is that he thinks people will admire his courage in overpowering dangerous animals. Of course, there are some who truly believe that the killing is not really the important thing, and that the chief pleasure lies in the joy of the hunt and the beauties of the wild countryside. There are also those for whom hunting in fact offers a chance to prove themselves and to risk death by design; these men go out after dangerous animals like tigers, even if they say they only do it to rid the countryside of a threat. I can respect reasons like these, but they are clearly different from the need to strengthen your high opinion of yourself.

The greatest big-game hunters expressed in their writings something of these finer motives. One of them wrote “You must properly respect what you are after and shoot it cleanly and on the animal’s own territory. You must fix forever in your mind all the wonders of that particular day. It is better than letting him grow a few years older to be attacked and wounded by his own son and eventually eaten, half-alive, by other animals. Hunting is not a cruel and senseless killing — not if you respect the thing you kill, not if you kill to enrich your memories, not if you kill to feed your people.”

I can understand such beliefs, and can compare these hunters with those who hunted lions with spears and bravely caught them by the tail. But this is very different from many tiger-shoots I have seen, in which modern weapons were used. The so-called hunters fired from tall trees or from the backs of trained elephants. Such methods made tigers seem no more dangerous than rabbits.

Questions 26 to 29 are based on the passage you have just heard. 26. Why is there no more hunting in India now?

选[D]。选项中的Partly because及选项内容表明，本题考查猎人不再捕猎的原因之一。短文开头提到The days 【解析】

of the hunter are almost over in India，接着给出两方面原因：partly because there is practically nothing left to kill, and partly because some steps have been taken…to protect those animals…，[D]中的few animals left to hunt与practically
