Questions32to35arebasedonthepassageyouhavejustheard.

32.WhendomostAmericanuniversitiesholdtheirgraduationceremonies?

。解析：短文開頭說："5、6月是大多數(shù)美國大學舉行畢業(yè)典禮的月份〃。故

答案為C。細節(jié)題，問月份。短文開頭處的信息。聽到什么選什么。

33.Whoareofteninvitedtospeakatthegraduationceremonies?

。解析：文中談到，"常常會邀請新聞人物和藝人在畢業(yè)典禮上致辭”，故選

Co由選項知本題問到某一類人物?？梢赃吢犨呑龉P記。根據(jù)"聽到什么選什么"

的原則，可以得到正確選項。

34.WhichuniversitydidtheactorJohnLithgowgraduatefrom?

[A]解析：文中提到"演員JohnLithgow是哈佛大學19是屆畢業(yè)生”,根據(jù)問

題，選A。

35.WhatadvicedidJonStewartgiveattheceremonyoftheCollegeofWilliam

andMary?

[A]解析：短文最后引用了JonStewart的忠告：“不要為成績、分數(shù)、成功擔

心。成功有著不同的定義，你們會獲得成功的。''其含義是要樂觀向上，故選A。

B、D與Jon的話無關，C說"使你的校園生活豐富多彩〃，與本文主旨不符。本文

討論畢業(yè)典禮而不是入學典禮，所以來賓的話重點不會談大學生活，而是談畢業(yè)

后的人生。

Questions29to32arebasedonthepassageyouhavejustheard.

29.WhatdoesthenestbuiltbyaTailorBirdlooklike?

正確答案：B

解析：文章主要提到3種鳥，需要一一記錄相關信息，題目順序一般與信息

出現(xiàn)的順序一致。最先聽到的是tailorbird,而題目詢問縫葉鶯的巢看上去是什么

樣子。關鍵是要聽至曠它（縫葉鶯）把樹葉縫在一起，呈杯狀。〃故選B。A是織巢鳥

的窩的樣子，C是無關選項，D是灶巢鳥的窩的樣子。

30.WhyisthereaholeintheWeaverBird'snest?

正確答案：B

解析：聽到的第2種鳥是weaverbird,而題目詢問織巢鳥的窩上為什么有一

個洞。關鍵是要聽到"這個洞是鳥巢的門。"因此答案為B。

31.WhatistheOvenBird'snestmadeof?

正確答案：C

解析：第3種鳥是ovenbird,而題目詢問灶巢鳥的窩是用什么做的。關鍵是

要聽到"這個窩是用泥巴做的。''故C正確。此外，原文提到OvenBird時，三次

提及了mud這個單詞，應該不難得出答案C。符合短文聽力"聽到什么選什么"的

解題原則。

Questions26to28arebasedonthepassageyouhavejustheard.

英語四級聽力參考答案：

26.WhichofthefollowingisNOTmentionedasthedisadvantagesofTV?

正確答案：A

解析：本文分析電視的利弊，它帶來益處的同時也有潛在的弊端。文章分別

提到，觀看電視是被動接受的行為（即B）,它使人產(chǎn)生依賴性（即C）,有些電視節(jié)

目質(zhì)量太差（即未提到的弊端是故選。此外，看電視會導致生理疾病"

D）oA,AA“

的說法聞所未聞。這是對原文中almostphysicalfascination"幾乎有生理上的迷戀”

的曲解。換言之，有些選項可據(jù)常識加以判斷。

27.Whatisthespeaker'sopinionoftelevision?

正確答案：D

28.Whatdeterminesthevalueoftelevisiontosociety?

正確答案：C

解析：文章最后說：電視本身無所謂好壞，人們使用它的方式?jīng)Q定了它對社

會的價值。C與此同義。A（電視機的價格）、D（觀看電視的人數(shù)）與全文中心無關,

可以排除;B在文中有所提及，是某個細節(jié)，屬于答非所問。

Questions32to35arebasedonthepassageyouhavejustheard.

32.WhyareLondontaxidriversveryefficient?

正確答案：B

解析：題目詢問為什么倫敦的出租車司機效率非常高。關鍵是要聽到"倫敦

的出租車司機效率非常高是因為在獲得專門的出租車駕駛執(zhí)照之前，他們都經(jīng)歷

過一段十分艱苦的訓練時期?！币簿褪钦f接受過特殊訓練，即Bo因為有駕照所以

工作效率就高，A本身就不符合常理，故不正確;選項C、D的內(nèi)容文中均未提及。

33.Howlongdoesthetrainingperiodlast?

正確答案：D

解析：題目詢問訓練期有多長。關鍵是要聽至『‘這段訓練時期，時間從兩年

到四年不等，……"故答案為D。符合“同義替換”的原則。選項A具有一定的干擾

性，若未注意到months這個時間單位的錯誤，則可能誤選A。

34.Whydoesthespeakerthinkthedrivingtestisaterribleexperience?

正確答案：B

35.Whydolearnerdrivershavetokeeptheirpresentjobs?

正確答案：C

解析：題目詢問為什么實習出租車司機必須保有他們目前的工作。關鍵是要

聽到"不允許實習出租車司機以司機身份工作賺錢。”即CoA、D兩項文中未提及;

文中說實習出租車司機不能以司機身份賺錢，所以他們不可能從兩份工作中同時

賺錢，故B錯誤。

PassageTwo

Questions30to32arebasedonthepassageyouhavejustheard.

30.Whatisthespeakermainlytalkingabout?

英語四級聽力答案：

正確答案：C

解析：主旨題需要把握全文內(nèi)容。文章前半部分說的是人類似乎越來越聰明

了，但是中間話鋒一轉(zhuǎn)(Butnotsofast.There'saseriousargument...)說明有不同看

法，后半部分主要講異議。故C是對文章面的概括。

31.Whatdostudiesfromsomecountriessuggest?

正確答案：A

解析：原文提到，有一些國家的研究表明，至少從20世紀50年代開始，人

們的智商在不斷上升。A是原文的同義轉(zhuǎn)換。

32.Whatmessagedoesthenumberofpatentsawardedconvey?

正確答案：B

解析：此題雖然是考查對文章尾句的理解，但也應該結合前文，由于文中后

半部分都是否定含義，尾句中的didnotshowcleartrends應該也是說沒有明顯的

"上升趨勢"。

Questions29to31arebasedonthepassageyouhavejustheard.

29.What'sthedistancefromthecentreofEnglandtothesouthcoast?

正確答案：C

解析：數(shù)字計算題。根據(jù)錄音首句“從北部到南部，以及從東部到西部，只

有大約300英里的距離〃，那么從centre到coast就是其中一半的距離，即150

英里，故選C。

30.WhatissaidabouttheclimateofEngland?

正確答案：D

解析：細節(jié)題。ofgreatvariety是awiderange的同義表達，故D正確。

31.Whichofthefollowingstatementsistrueaccordingtothepassage?

正確答案：A

解析：本題考查對細節(jié)的記憶與理解。長句子要在聽到主語后將謂語、賓語

或表語與原文進行對比，能夠匹配的往往是答案。本題選A。其他選項多是利用

原文中出現(xiàn)過的詞進行干擾。

Questions19to22arebasedontheconversationyouhavejustheard.

19.WhatisoneserviceNOTincludedinthespecialpriceatthebeautysalon?

正確答案：B

解析：女士說，當日的特別優(yōu)惠是以9.99美元的價格享受洗、剪、吹，外加

剃須、背部按摩。A、C、D均有提及;只有B（修指甲）不在服務范圍內(nèi)，故應選B。

通讀選項，知道這篇對話與理發(fā)有關。本題選項涉及相關服務項目，解答時要注

意對話中提到哪些項目，以做相應標記。止匕外，修指甲不屬于一般男士理發(fā)業(yè)務

范圍，根據(jù)"主題原則〃，與主題無關的即為答案，直接選B。

20.Whydoesthemanrepeatedlysay"That'sall"?

正確答案：C

21.Whatdoesthebeauticianmeanby"You'reingoodhands"?

正確答案：C

解析：女士說："沒問題，放松點，給你服務的是個好手。"所謂"好手”即是

水平高的美容美發(fā)師，故C正確。本題問"You'reingoodhands"是什么意思。像

這種“短語含義題”，絕不能選其單詞本義，由此可排除A;若頭發(fā)狀態(tài)良好，就不

用來理發(fā)了，故B也可排除;D是利用原詞relax設置的干擾項。

22.Whydoesthecustomergotothisbeautysalontoimprovehisappearance?

正確答案：D

解析：男士先說，他到城里來面試一份新工作。隨后又抱怨，"我這個樣子

怎么去面試?〃可見男士來美容院理發(fā)是為了參加面試，故D正確。四個選項均以

"Heisgoingt。"開頭，差別在to后面的內(nèi)容上。A、B未提到，可排除;男士說他

是一個處理工傷事故的律師，C中的一般將來時態(tài)與對話內(nèi)容不一致。
