Explanation to Part III

SECTION A STATEMENT

1. 这是个真实条件状语从句。意思是“如果Sue完成这项工作要花一个小时,那么其他人则要两个小时。” 因此我们要用更长的时间才能做完这项工作,即A。

wrap up:完成, 结束。

2. Never have(has) + 主语 + 过去分词 + ... 表示形容词的最高级含义。因此这句话的意思是说“此刻Michael最乐意与我们合作了。” or “Michael从来没象现在这样愿意与我们合作。” 即B。

否定词(半否定词),如 never, not, little, hardly, few, seldom, scarcely, barely等,及否定词短语如no sooner, under no circumstances, on no account 等常放句首,进行强调,语序则要倒装。

3. “当她发怒时,什么也帮不了她,再多说也只不过是火上浇油而已。”

理解短语“add fuel to the flames(fire): 火上浇油” 也就理解了原文的意思是多说只能使她更生气, 即B。

4.“Pet在学校不习惯于起床这么早而睡觉这么晚。”
换句话说,Pet 不习惯住校生活。 答-案为D。

短语be (get) used to (doing) sth = be accustomed to (doing) sth: 一直习惯于
used to do...: 过去经常做,曾经
turn in:(口)上床睡觉

5. “毫无疑问,Joe是我们班学习最用功的学生。”

beyond question = without question = past question = out of question: 毫无疑问,当然

另外:
out of the question: 不可能的, 不值得考虑的
beside the question: 离题,与题无关
in question: 讨论中的, 有疑问的
be open to question: 不确定, 有待考虑
call into question: 对...有异议:
make no question of (about): 对...不怀疑, 对...完全肯定

6. “我原以为出差补助是一天200圆,但实际是原来的两倍。” 答-案为D。

allowance: 津贴, 补贴
如meal allowance:伙食补贴

had expected (thought, imagined):原以为,原打算,暗含与实际相反的意思
turn out (to be): 原来是,最后证明是

7. “我们正打算只要天气好就去森林公园野餐。”答-案为B。

as long as = so long as = if = on condition that: 只要,假如
go picnicking = go for a picnic: 去野餐

8. "应观众的要求,这位钢琴家又多演奏了两曲音乐作品。”答-案为B。

at the request of sb = at sb’s request: 在某人的要求(请求)下

two more compositions 也可以说two compositions more,其中的 more意思是“另外的,附加的”

9. “在如此大的城市里,居住条件的恶劣要归咎于缺乏规划的房地产发展。”答-案为B。

be attributed to或 attribute ... to: 归咎于, 把...归因于

SECTION B CONVERSATION

10. M:“由于在路上我的车坏了,所以没能参加音乐会,非常对不起。”
F: “你免不了如此。”

can / could (not) + have done: 表示过去的可能(不可能)。
break down: 出毛病,坏掉。

本对话考F对M说的话的反应,听懂并掌握“cannot + help(避免不了,没办法,忍不住)”这一结构的意思,就不难看出她既没苛责,也没抱怨,只是表示很理解他当时的处境。因此C: 她安慰了他 最接近原文。

11. F: “你对Billy印象如何?”
M: “(我觉得)他既诚实又可靠,尤其是他特别勤奋。”

问题问M对Billy的印象,听懂M的回答就不难作出正确选择C了。

above all = most important of all, especially: 尤其重要的是,特别是

12. M:“你知道John在谈什么吗?”
F:“几乎不知道。他总喜欢说话兜圈子。”

为什么很难理解John呢?F的回答是解题的关键。答-案为D。

beat around the bush = beat about the bush: 不直截了当,说话兜圈子

13. F: “市里打算拆毁那些一层搂的房子,然后建造一个新的购物中心。”
M: “又是购物中心?没什么新鲜的。”

根据问题“M是什么意思”可知,关键的信息存在于M的回答中,而M的回答不能为书面选择提供直接的信息,因此不仅要理解字面的意义,而且要根据对话中的信息与语言环境,推断出M所表示的语气,才能得出正确答-案B。

14. M: “你晚饭想吃些什么?”
F: “我不喜欢海鲜,蛇也令我觉得恶心。只要一些炸鸡肉就行了。”

care for: 喜欢,照料
seafood: 海味,海产食品
... will do: ...就行,就过得去,就可以了

这是道细节测试题,F明确提出她不喜欢海鲜,蛇也令她恶心,根据常识,A: fish 属于海鲜,D: pork在文中没有提及,因此答-案只可能是C。

15. F: “请问,我想买些字典,在哪可以找到?”
M: “正常价格的在这边,在那边桌子上还有些特价的字典。”

这是道间接型的地点辩别题。常识告诉我们百货商店中是不卖书或字典的,根据F的问话, 选项A, B, C都有可能,而考虑到M的回答中的关键词price, on special,就不难把范围缩小,从而得出对话的发生地最有可能是B: 书店。

16. M: “我还需两个星期才能把我的研究项目中所需的所有数据收集齐。”
F: “好在直到学期末,才到最后期限。”

问题问应该何时完成研究项目。只要听懂F的回答并理解not...until (直到...才)的结构,就可直接回答了。答-案为C。

SECTION C NEWS BROADCAST

17. 这是道细节内容测试题。原文“continuing to slow demand (持续放慢需求)”是解题的关键。答-案为B。

18. 测试有关数据的细节题。答-案为C。

19. 本题测试态度。原文中“irritated(激怒, 恼火)”与A最接近。

20. 测试时间长度的细节题。原文中的“the week old rebellion (一周之久的叛乱)”说明正确答-案应为B: 七天。

21. “do all except (but) ...” 是比较常见的出题形式。本题测试考生对新闻主要内容的理解。答-案为D。

22. 关于内容细节的测试题。C为正确答-案。

23. 测试有关时间的细节题。原文中 "three weeks before the deadline(离最后限期还有三周)"是理解本题的关键。答-案为A。

24. 测试时间的细节题。文中明确提到了"Sunday’s kidnapping",因此答-案为A。

25. 测试谁是绑架者的细节题。虽然文中没明确提出是谁,但 "suspected Moslem extremists"可以提供些线索,有助于我们选出正确答-案C。

TAPESCRIPT OF DICTATION

PART II DICTATION

Listen to the following passage. Altogether the passage will be read to you four times. During the first reading, which will be read at normal speed, listen and try to understand the meaning.

Please write the whole passage on Answer Sheet Two.

Now, listen to the passage.

The poverty line is minimum income that people need for an acceptable standard of living./ People with incomes below the poverty line are considered poor./

As the general standard of living rises, / the poverty line does, too. / Therefore, even with today’s relatively high standard of living, / about 10 percent of the people in the United States are below the poverty line. / Economists suggest several reasons./

For one thing, more than half of the poor people are not qualified to work. / By law, children less than 16 years old can not work in many industries; / many companies do not hire people over 65 years old, / which is considered the normal retirement age./

Some poor adults do not look for jobs for a variety of personal reasons. / Other poor people look for a job but can’t find one. / Many poor adults never went to high school. / Therefore, when they look for jobs, they have few skills that they can offer.

The second and third readings. You should begin writing now.

The last reading. Now, you have two minutes to check through your work.

(a two-minute interval)

This is the end of the Dictation.
