W:Well,I get up very early,around five 0’clock,because… M:Five 0’clock!Even on weekends?Do you do that often? W:Oh,yes,nearly every weekend.I never sleep late.There is just too much to d0.I hate waking up late.
Even on weekends.And then I sometimes go for a long swim in my pool,when I don’t go for a run.Exercise is very important to me.
M:At five 0’clock in the morning you go for a run?
W:Yes,sometimes,or as I said,sometimes go for a swim. M:0K…and then?
W:Well,then I have breakfast,and after breakfast I get down to work. M:Oh,you work on weekends,too?
W:Oh,yes,I always work on weekends. M:But don’t you ever relax?
W:Relax?
M:You know,take the day off and have a good time,enjoy yourself?Go to a museum or to the park or
something.
W:Oh,n0.I never go to the museum.But I enjoy myself.I always enjoy myself at work. M:Well,OK.Thank you,Lily Tarkis.Bye-bye.
Part B
Until the twentieth century cigarettes were not an important threat to public health.Men used tobacco mainly in the form of cigars,chewing tobacc0,piping tobacco and snuff.Most women did not use tobacco at all.
The cigarette industry began in the l870s with the development of the cigarette manufacturing machine.This made it possible to produce great number of cigarettes very quickly,and it reduced the price.Today cigarette smoking is a widespread habit.About 43%of the adult men and 31%of the adult women in the United States smoke cigarettes regularly.It is encouraging to note,however,that millions of people have given up the smoking habit.75%of the male population and 46%of the female population have smoked cigarettes at some time during their lives,but 26%of these men and 11%of the women have stopped smoking.The number of persons who have given up smoking is increasing.
Men as a group smoke more than women.Between men and women the age group with the highest proportion of smokers is the age group 24~44.Income,education,and occupation all play a part in determining a person’s smoking habit.City people smoke more than people living on farms.On the one hand,well—educated men with high incomes are less likely to smoke cigarettes than men with fewer Years of schooling and lower incomes.on the other hand,if a well-educated man with a higher income smokers at all,he is likely to smoke more packs of cigarettes per day.
The situation is somewhat different for women.There are slightly more smokers among women with higher family incomes and higher education than among the lower income and lower educational groups. These more highly educated women tend to smoke more heavily.Part C
Questions ll~13 are based on a taped library tour.You now have l5 seconds to read Questions ll~13.
Hello and welcome to the university library.This taped tour will introduce you to our library’s
facilities and operating hours.
First of all,the library’s collection of books,reference materials,and other resources are found on levels one to four of this building.Level one houses our humanities and map collections.On level two,you will find our circulation desk,current periodicals and journals,and our computer and copy facilities.Our science and engineering sections can be found on level three.You’ll also find back issues of periodicals and joumals older than six months on this level.Finally,group study rooms,and microfilm collection,and our audiovisual center are located on level four.Undergraduate students can check out uD to five books for two weeks.Graduate students can cheek out fifteen books for two months.Books can be renewed up to two times.There is a 50一cent-a-day late fee for overdue books up to a maximum of$15.00.Periodicals and reference books cannot be checked out.The library is open weekdays,8:00 a.rrL to 10:00 P.rrL。and on Saturdays from 9:00 a.m to 8:30 p.rn.The librarv is closed on Sundavs.
Questions l4~16 are based on a text about ice phrases.Yon now have l5 seconds to read Questions l4~16.
In many places,ice is as widely used as bread,and it would be surprising indeed if ice did not give birth to many special phrases.
The expression,“to break the ice”,meant,to make your first move,to do something for the first time: it was not possible until the ice was broken.Later,the expression developed another meaning,covering a relationship between people.When you have not broken the ice with someone,you have not yet cleared the way to his trust in you,to his friendship.You must get through to him,just as the small boats had to clear the fiver’S ice jam.
When you tell someone that he“cuts no ice”with you.you are making certain things clear to him__________that you are not moved or impressed or influenced by him in any way.You are putting it to him straight__________that he is getting nowhere with you.
“Skating on thin ice”is something else again.This means that a man may be doing or saying some- thing risky.It might be offensive and get him into trouble.Thin ice is not much support;if he is not more careful,he may sink right through.
In sports or any other kind of contest,you will hear the phrase,“The game is on ice”or“It is iced up”.This simply means that the game is really over,that one side is so far ahead that the other cannot catch up.There is no longer any doubt as who the winner will be.
Questions l7~20 are based on a conversation about hunting an apartment.You now have 20 seconds to readQuestions 17~20.
M: Hi,I heard you’re looking for a different apartment.
W: Veak The place I’m in now is really terrible.
M:It was 0K when l was there.
W:The boiler keeps breaking and when it does,we lose the heat for several days at the time. M:Why doesn’t the owner replace it?
W:Well,she said it’s cheaper to keep fixing it.She is a nice enough person,just sort of stingy in any case.I’m sick of being cold.
M:Can you get your deposit back if you move?
W:If I give one-month notice,I can get the whole thing back.
M:So what kind of place are you looking for?
W:I think Hl try to get into one of those highrises near the university.There is nothing really special but at least they are new and functional.
M:I heard those buildings are pretty noisy.The walls are thin and you can hear everything going on in the other apartment.
W:Oh.That will never do.I need some place quiet to finish my thesis.I guess Hl have to look at somemore ads.Maybe new isn’t necessarily better.
M:Why don’t you try some of those apartment at Windsor?They’re supposed to be nice. W:Oh,aren’t they awfully expensive?
M:Not really.You’11 be surprised at how reasonable some of them are.The problem with being out there is the bus doesn’t run that way.
W:That definitely won’t be a problem.I can afford a car right now.I guess I’d better check a few places here in the citv before I make fl decision.
Section I Listening Comprehension
Part A
1.5/five。本題考查的是對數(shù)字的聽音。在第一個話輪中,女士的回答直接指出:I get up very early,
around five 0’clock,因此填入five或用阿拉伯數(shù)字。
2.pool。在第二個話輪中女士描述自己的活動時,第六句即指出:And then I sometimes…in my pool。
注意本題也可由常識得出答案,因為游泳(swim)只能在她自己的游泳池中進行。
3.breakfast。第四外話輪中女士直接指出:then I have breakfast,題目只是將直接引語變成了間接引語。
4.relax。本題有一定的難度。在第五個話輪中,女士指出自己周末也工作,然后在第六個話輪中男士問她是不是(周末)從不休息,從女士的回答及后面的話輪可知她正是這樣。男士的not ever relax即是never relax,因此本題應(yīng)填入relax。
5.museum。在倒數(shù)第二個話輪中女士指出:I never go to the museum。
Part B
6.In the 1870s。這是一篇介紹煙草工業(yè)發(fā)展以及美國煙民情況的獨自。短文先簡要介紹了一下男女之間在吸煙情況上的總體不同,然后明確指出:The cigarette industry began in the l870s with the development…,即煙草工業(yè)開始于l9世紀80年代??忌灰犌辶诉@一句即不難作答。
7.About 43%/About forty-three percent。本題屬于數(shù)字信息題。短文第七句說明了美國成年男女的吸煙比例:About 43%of the adult men…smoke cigarettes regularly(美國約43%的成年男性和31%的成年女性經(jīng)常吸煙)??忌⒁獾氖窃摼渲袃蓚€百分比數(shù)字與男女的對應(yīng)關(guān)系,不要搞混了。還應(yīng)注意,直接用阿拉伯數(shù)字回答。
8.Income,education,occupation。本題屬于明示性細節(jié)捕捉題。獨自中部在指出哪個年齡階段的人煙民比例之后,緊接著明確說明:Income.education,and occupation all play a part…(收入、教育程度和職業(yè)都在決定一個人的吸煙習(xí)慣上起著作用)。聽清了這一處即可作答。由于有字數(shù)限制,因此要去掉連詞and。
9.24~44/twenty-four to forty-four。本題也是明示性細節(jié)捕捉題。在獨自中部有一句指出:lax-tween men and women the age group with the highest proportion of smokers is the age group 24 44(男女之間煙民比例的年齡段是24歲到44歲)。考生要注意的是,題目的順序并沒有按照獨白交代信息的順序設(shè)置,因此聽錄音時要做好記錄。
10.Highly educated。本題較為容易,因為對應(yīng)的信息位于獨白的最后一句,考生聽音時捕捉這一信息、相對較為輕松。獨自最后一句指出:These more highly educated women tend to smoke more heavily(這些受教育程度更高的女性吸起煙來更厲害)。
Part C
11.[B]。這則聽力材料雖然詞匯方面不難,但由于涉及大量需要考生對比辨別的細節(jié)信息,因此實際上有一定的難度。比如本題,題目問的是this month’S issue,而對應(yīng)的信息位于獨自第五句:On level tw0. you will find our circulation desk,current periodicals and journals…,其中用的是current periodicals(當前的期刊),不但要求考生聽清這一句,還要求考生能在這兩種表達中進行有效的轉(zhuǎn)換理解。
12.[C]。本題較為容易,在獨自第六句中明確出現(xiàn)了題目中所出現(xiàn)的engineering一詞:Our science and engineering sections can be found on level three,因此本題答案就是[C]。
13.[B]。本題需要考生在聽清、聽懂原文的基礎(chǔ)上進行計算。獨自倒數(shù)第三句提到了借書過期不還的懲罰性措施:There is a 50一cent—a-day late fee for overdue books up to a maximum of$15.O0,即每天收費jo美分,但不超過15美元。而題目限定的條件是過期40天,按每天50美分來算,應(yīng)當是20美元,顯然超過了15美元,因此在這種情況下就只需要支付上限15美元了,故答案是[B]。
14.[B]?!癝kating on thin ice”這個短語出現(xiàn)在獨自第四段第一句,然后下一句對其含意作出了解釋: This means that…something risky,與[明一致。
15.[B]。本題答案對應(yīng)于解釋cut no ice這一短語的第三段。其中最后一句指出用這個短語的人的意思....that he is getting nowhere with you,因此答案是[B]。
16.[A]。獨自中涉及9ame的是最后一段,這一段是對The game is on ice和It is iced up兩個與ice有關(guān)的短語的說明,因此本題答案無疑是[A]。
17.[D]。在第一個話輪中女士用really terrible描述了自己住處的問題,但并沒有詳細說明。在第二個話輪中她才提到是鍋爐(boiler)常壞,沒有暖氣,因此答案是[D]。
18.[A]。由女士話語中的near the university、finish my thesis可推知她是一名大學(xué)生,因此選[A]。
19.[A]。南第二個話輪中女士we lose the heat for several days at the time一句及第三個話輪中女士說的I’m sick of being cold可以推知說話時天氣應(yīng)當很冷,因此選[A]。
20.[C]。在倒數(shù)第三個話輪中女士提出了自己對新公寓的要求:I need some place quiet to finish my thesis,因此答案是[C]。注意[A]、[C]、[D]三項都是前一個話輪中女士提到的,但在這一個話輪中她用 That will never d0進行了否定。

9.24~44/twenty-four to forty-four。本題也是明示性細節(jié)捕捉題。在獨自中部有一句指出:lax-tween men and women the age group with the highest proportion of smokers is the age group 24 44(男女之間煙民比例的年齡段是24歲到44歲)。考生要注意的是,題目的順序并沒有按照獨白交代信息的順序設(shè)置,因此聽錄音時要做好記錄。
10.Highly educated。本題較為容易,因為對應(yīng)的信息位于獨白的最后一句,考生聽音時捕捉這一信息、相對較為輕松。獨自最后一句指出:These more highly educated women tend to smoke more heavily(這些受教育程度更高的女性吸起煙來更厲害)。
Part C
11.[B]。這則聽力材料雖然詞匯方面不難,但由于涉及大量需要考生對比辨別的細節(jié)信息,因此實際上有一定的難度。比如本題,題目問的是this month’S issue,而對應(yīng)的信息位于獨自第五句:On level tw0. you will find our circulation desk,current periodicals and journals…,其中用的是current periodicals(當前的期刊),不但要求考生聽清這一句,還要求考生能在這兩種表達中進行有效的轉(zhuǎn)換理解。
12.[C]。本題較為容易,在獨自第六句中明確出現(xiàn)了題目中所出現(xiàn)的engineering一詞:Our science and engineering sections can be found on level three,因此本題答案就是[C]。
13.[B]。本題需要考生在聽清、聽懂原文的基礎(chǔ)上進行計算。獨自倒數(shù)第三句提到了借書過期不還的懲罰性措施:There is a 50一cent—a-day late fee for overdue books up to a maximum of$15.O0,即每天收費jo美分,但不超過15美元。而題目限定的條件是過期40天,按每天50美分來算,應(yīng)當是20美元,顯然超過了15美元,因此在這種情況下就只需要支付上限15美元了,故答案是[B]。
14.[B]?!癝kating on thin ice”這個短語出現(xiàn)在獨自第四段第一句,然后下一句對其含意作出了解釋: This means that…something risky,與[明一致。
15.[B]。本題答案對應(yīng)于解釋cut no ice這一短語的第三段。其中最后一句指出用這個短語的人的意思....that he is getting nowhere with you,因此答案是[B]。
16.[A]。獨自中涉及9ame的是最后一段,這一段是對The game is on ice和It is iced up兩個與ice有關(guān)的短語的說明,因此本題答案無疑是[A]。
17.[D]。在第一個話輪中女士用really terrible描述了自己住處的問題,但并沒有詳細說明。在第二個話輪中她才提到是鍋爐(boiler)常壞,沒有暖氣,因此答案是[D]。
18.[A]。由女士話語中的near the university、finish my thesis可推知她是一名大學(xué)生,因此選[A]。
19.[A]。南第二個話輪中女士we lose the heat for several days at the time一句及第三個話輪中女士說的I’m sick of being cold可以推知說話時天氣應(yīng)當很冷,因此選[A]。
20.[C]。在倒數(shù)第三個話輪中女士提出了自己對新公寓的要求:I need some place quiet to finish my thesis,因此答案是[C]。注意[A]、[C]、[D]三項都是前一個話輪中女士提到的,但在這一個話輪中她用 That will never d0進行了否定。
