Early in the 20th century, most of the streets and roads in the U.S. were made of dirt, brick, and cedar wood blocks. Built forhorse, carriage, and foot traffic, they were usually poorly cared for and too narrow to accommodate ( 容纳) automobiles.With the increase in auto production, private turnpike(收费公路) companies under local authorities began to spring up, and by1921 there were 387,000 miles of paved roads. Many were built using specifications of 19th century Scottish engineersThomas Telford and John MacAdam( for whom the macadam surface is named), whose specifications stressed theimportance of adequate drainage. Beyond that, there were no national standards for size, weight

restrictions, or commercial signs. During World War I, roads throughout the country were nearly destroyed by the weight oftrucks. When General Eisenhower returned from Germany in 1919, after serving in the U. S. Anny's first transcontinentalmotor convoy (车队), he noted: \"The old convoy had started me thinking about good, two-lane highways, but Germany'sAutobahn or motorway had made me see the wisdom of broader ribbons across the land. ' It would take another war beforethe federal government would act on a national highway system. During World War Il ,a tremendous increase in trucks andnew roads were required. The war demonstrated how critical

highways were to the defense effort. Thirteen per cent of defense plants received all their supplies by truck, and almost allother plants shipped more than half of their products by vehicle. The war also revealed that local control of highways had ledto a confusing variety of design standards. Even federal and state highways did not follow basic standards. Some statesallowed trucks up to 36,000 pounds, while others restricted anything over 7,000 pounds. A government study recommendeda national highway system of 33,920 miles, and Congress soon passed the Federal-Aid Highway Act of 1944, which calledfor strict, centrally controlled design criteria.

The interstate highway system was finally launched in 1956 and has been hailed as one of the greatest public works projectsof the century. To build its 44,000-mile web of highways, bridges, and tunnels, hundreds of unique engineering designs andsolutions had to be worked out. Consider the many geographic features of the country: mountains, steep grades, wetland,rivers, deserts and plains. Variables included the slope of the land, the ability of the pavement to support the load, theintensity of road use, and the nature of the underlying soil. Urban areas wereanother problem. Innovative designs ofroadways, tunnels, bridges, overpasses, and interchanges that could run through or bypass urban areas soon began toweave their way across the country, forever altering the face of America.

Long-span, segmented-concrete, cable-stayed bridges such as Hale Boggs in Louisiana and the Sunshine Skyway in

Florida, and remarkable tunnels like Fort McHenry in Maryland and Mt. Baker in Washington, met many of the nation'sphysical challenges. Traffic control systems and methods of construction developed under the interstate program sooninfluenced highway construction around the world, and were invaluable in improving the condition of urban streetsand traffic patterns.

Today, the interstate system links every major city in the U. S. , and the U. S. with Canada and Mexico. Built with safety inmind, the highways have wide lanes and shoulders, dividing medians or barriers, long entry and exit lanes, curves

engineered for safe turns, and limited access. The death rate on highways is half that of all other U. S. roads(0.86 deaths per100 million passenger miles compared to 1.99 deaths per 100 million on all other roads).

By opening the North American continent, highways have enabled consumer goods and services to reach people in remoteand rural areas of the country, spurred the growth of suburbs, and provided people with greater options in terms of jobs,access to cultural programs, health care, and other benefits. Above all, the interstate system provides individuals with whatthey cherish most: personal !~eedom of mobility.

The interstate system has been an essent-iai element of the nation's economic growth in terms of shipping and job creation:more than 75 per cent of the nation's freight deliveries arrive by truck; and most products that arrive by rail or air use

interstates for the last leg of the journey by vehicle. Not only has the highway system affected the American economy byproviding shipping routes, it has led to the growth of spin-off industries like service stations, motels, restaurants, andshopping centers. It has allowed the relocation of manufacturing plants and other industries from urban areas to rural.By the end of the century there was an immense network of paved roads, residential streets, expressways, and freeways builtto support millions of vehicles. The highway system was officially renamed for Eisenhower to honor his visi0n andleadership. The year construction began he said: \"Together, the united forces of our communication and transportationsystems are dynamie elements in the very name we bear---United States. Without them, we would be a mere alliance ofmany separate parts.\"

Directions:There are 2 passages in this section. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements,Foreach of them there are four choices marked A), B), C) and D ) . You should decide on the best choice and mark thecorresponding letter on Answer Sheet 2 with a single line through the centre.Passage One

Questions 57 to 61 are based on the following passage.

Communications technologies are far from equal when it comes to conveying the truth. The first study to compare honestyacross a range of communications media has found that people are twice as likely to tell lies in phone conversations as theyare in emails. The fact that emails are automatically recorded—and can come back to haunt ( 困扰) you—appears to be thekey to the finding.

Jeff Hancock of Coruell University in Ithaca, New York, asked 30 students to keep a communications diary for a week. In itthey noted the number of conversations or email exchanges they had lasting more than 10 minutes, and confessed to howmany lies they told. Hancock then worked out the number of lies per conversation for each

medium. He found that lies made up 14 per cent of emails, 21 per cent of instant messages, 27 per cent of face-to-faceinteractions and an astonishing 37 per cent of phone calls.

His results, to be presented at the conference on human-computer interaction in Vienna, Austria, in April have surprisedpsychologists. Some expected emailers to be the biggest liars, reasoning that because deception makes people

uncomfortable, the detachment(⾮直接接触) of emailing would make it easier to lie. Others expected people to lie more inface-to-face exchanges because we are most practised at that form of communication.

But Hancock says it is also crucial whether a conversation is being recorded and could be reread, and whether it occurs inreal time. People appear to be afraid to lie when they know the communication could later be used to holdthem to account, he says. This is why fewer lies appear in email than on the phone.

People are also more likely to lie in real time—in an instant message or phone call, say—than if they have time to think of aresponse, says Hancock. He found many lies are spontaneous ( 脱⼝⽽出的) responses to an unexpected demand, such as:\"Do you like my dress?\"

Hancock hopes his research will help companies work out the best ways for their employees to communicate. For instance,the phone might be the best medium for sales where employees are encouraged to stretch the truth. But given his results,work assessment, where honesty is a priority, might be best done using email.57. Hancock's study focuses on _ _

A) the consequences of lying in various communications mediaB) the success of communications technologies in conveying ideasC) people's preferences in selecting communications technologies

D) people's honesty levels across a range of communications media58. Hancock's research finding surprised those who believed that _ _A) people are less likely to lie in instant messagesB) people are unlikely to lie in face-to-face interactionsC) people are most likely to lie in email communicationD) people are twice as likely to lie in phone conversations

59. According to the passage, why are people more likely to tell the truth through certain media of communication?A) They are afraid of leaving behind traces of their lies.B) They believe that honesty is the best policy.C) They tend to be relaxed when using those media.D) They are most practised at those forms of communication.

60. According to Hancock, the telephone is a preferable medium for promoting sales becauseA) salesmen can talk directly to their customersB) salesmen may feel less restrained to exaggerateC) salesmen can impress customers as being trustworthyD) salesmen may pass on instant messages effectively61. It can be inferred from the passage that

A) honesty should be encouraged in interpersonal communicationsB) more employers will use emails to communicate with their employeesC) suitable media should be chosen for different communication purposesD) email is now the dominant medium of communication within a companyPassage Two

Questions 62 to 66 are based on the following passage.

In a country that defines itself by ideals, not by shared blood, who should be allowed to come, work and livehere? In the wake of the Sept. 11 attacks these questions have never seemed more pressing.

On Dec. 11,2001, as part of the effort to increase homeland security, federal and local authorities in 14 states staged

\"Operation Safe Travel\"—raids on airports to arrest employees with false identification (⾝份证明). In Salt Lake City therewere 69 arrests. But those captured were anything but terrorists, most of them illegal immigrants from Central or SouthAmerica. Authorities said the undocumented workers' illegal status made them open to blackmail ( 讹诈) by terrorists.Many immigrants in Salt Lake City were angered by the arrests and said they felt as if they were being treated like disposablegoods.

Mayor Anderson said those feelings were justified to a certain extent. \"We're saying we want you to work in these places,we're going to look the other way in terms of what our laws are, and then when it's convenient for us, or when we can try tomake a point in terms of national security, especially after Sept. 11, then you're disposable. There are whole families beinguprooted for all of the wrong reasons,\" Anderson said.

If Sept. 11 had never happened, the airport workers would not have been arrested and could have gone on quietly living inAmerica, probably indefinitely. Aha Castro, a manager at a Ben & Jerry's ice cream shop at the airport, had been working 10years with the same false Social Security card when she was arrested in the December airport raid. Now she and her familyare living under the threat of deportation(驱逐出境). Castro's case is currently waiting to be settled. While she awaits theoutcome, the government has granted her permission to work here and she has returned to

her job at Ben & Jerry's.

62. According to the author, the United States claimed to be a nationA) composed of people having different valuesB) encouraging individual pursuitsC) sharing common interestsD) founded on shared ideals

63. How did the immigrants in Salt Lake City feel about \"Operation Safe Travel\"?A) Guilty. B) Offended C) Disappointed. D) Discouraged.

64. Undocumented workers became the target of \"Oporation Safe Travel\" because _ _A) evidence was found that they were potential terroristsB) most of them worked at airports under threat of terrorist attacksC) terrorists might take advantage of their illegal status

D ) they were reportedly helping hide terrorists around the airport

65. By saying \"we're going to look the other way in terms of what our laws are,\" ( lane 2, Para. 4), Mayor Anderson meansA) we will turn a blind eye to your illegal status B) we will examine the laws in a different wayC) there are other ways of enforcing the law D) the existing laws must not be ignored66. What do we learn about Aha Castro from the last paragraph?

A) She will be deported sooner or later. B) She is allowed to stay permanently.C) Her case has been dropped. D) Her fate remains uncertain.

Part V Cloze ( 15 minutes) Directions: There are 20 blanks in the following passage. For each blank there are four choicesmarked A), B), C) and D ). You should choose the ONE that best fits into the passage. Then mark the corresponding letter onAnswer Sheet 2 with a single line through the centre.

这篇⽂章属于分析评论型。⼤学⽣⾃由选择任课教师的现象前⼏年就已出现。⼀般来说，⼴闻博识，经验丰富的⽼师最受欢迎：授课⽅式丰富现代，⽣动多样的⽼师也很受青睐。在这种⾃主择师的体制下，学⽣能较好地发挥学习的主观能动性。但同时，有些学⽣可能会选那些要求不严，容易过关的⽼师的课；⽽某些有真才实学的⽼师则有可能因过于严格⽆⼈问津。按上述分析，组织篇章时，我们可⾸先引出话题，接着探讨学⽣选择⽼师的参考因素，然后评价这种做法产⽣的正负效果，最后提出相应建议。

第⼀段：简述⼤学⽣⾃选任课⽼师这⼀现象；第⼆段：具体分析学⽣选择⽼师时主要考虑的因素；第三段：评价这种做法对教学产⽣的积极影响以及可能产⽣的不良后果；第四段：提出相应建议。【范⽂】

On Students Selecting Lecturers

In recent years, students in some colleges are entitled to the choice of their lecturers for certain courses. This practice hasenjoyed great popularity since it was introduced.

When selecting teachers, most students will take the following factors into account. In the first place, lecturers with impressiveacademic background and rich working experience are preferable because exposure to inspiring lectures is a mostrewarding experience. In the second place, teachers with a convincing and vivid teaching style are more likely to meet

students’ taste. In one sense, it is not what is given in a lesson but how a lecture is delivered that really appeals to students.Students’ free choice of lecturers will bring with it both benefits and problems. On the one hand, this makes it possible thatstudents have easy access to good teachers who may open a new horizon for them. On the other hand, good as the practicemay be, chances are that some students will misuse the opportunity and select undemanding lecturers while somedistinguished but strict teachers may be unwelcome. It will result in a waste of the teaching resources.

Unquestionably, this issue deserves further attention from both colleges and students. What they should do is to minimize thepotential negative effects.

Part II Reading Comprehension (Skimming and Scanning)

1. N考查细节→寻读法→句层次的理解。从题⼲中的关键信息词by 1921 和national standards

可帮我们迅速找到原⽂出处。结合第⼆段的第⼀句话和第三句话可知，直到1921 年有387，000 公⾥的公路（paved

road），但除此之外，并不存在国家标准的公路（there were no national standards for…），据此可判断题⼲中指出国家标准的公路in place（就绪）是不正确的。

2. Y细节推断→寻读法→句层次的理解。从题⼲的关键信息词General Eisenhower以及broad German

motorways，我们可锁定原⽂中的第⼆段最后⼀句话为答案的来源。从他的话中我们可知他⾸先将双车道的⾼速公路和美国旧的公路建设相⽐，认为双车道⾼速路更好（started me thinking good, two lane highway）,随后⽤转折连词将对话的重点转移，对德国的汽车⾼速公路更加赞赏（see the wisdom of …），从⽐较级broader，可推断与双车道⾼速公路相⽐，德国的汽车⾼速公路更宽，更明智。题⼲中的make more sense (感觉更好) 对应原⽂中的see the wisdom of broader。3. Y 考查细节→寻读法→句层次的理解。通过题⼲中的关键信息词in the 1950s，可帮助我们在原⽂

中找到相关年份所发⽣的事。⽂中第四段的⾸句提供了相关信息。题⼲信息正是对此句话的同义转述：in the 1950s≈ in1956；finally took action to ≈finally launched (发起，发动)；a national highway≈ interstate highway。4. Y 考查细节→寻读法→句层次的理解．从题⼲的关键信息词geographical features（地理特征）可找到原⽂

中的第四段为答案来源。⽂中指出为建44，000 公⾥长的⾼速公路独特的设计⽅案要想出来（unique engineering designs…be worked out），后⼀句提到国家呈现很多地理特征，最后⼀句⼜提到创意性的设计（innovative designs）开始在全国开辟（began to weave their way across），综上可知，此句话正确。5. N 考查细节→寻读法→句层次的理解。从题⼲中的关键信息短语the death rate on interstate highway，可采

取寻读法找到第六段的最后⼀句话为原⽂出处。原⽂中明确指出⾼速公路上的死亡率只是其他公路的⼀半（half that of…）与题⼲中的is still higher than（仍⾼出）相⽭盾，可判断此句话错误。

6. NG 考查细节→寻读法→词义理解。题⼲中的关键信息词major military installations （主要军事据点）在

原⽂中找不到相应的信息，⽂中只在第三段提到在⼆战中建⾼速公路对防御措施的重要性（how critical ..to the defenseeffort），⽽未涉及⾼速公路为美国主要军事据点提供通道。

7. N 考查细节→寻读法→句层次理解。从关键信息词Service stations, motels and restaurants 可采取寻读法找

到原⽂出处，即第⼋段的倒数第⼆句话。原⽂中提到美国的⾼速公路系统不仅影响美国的经济，⽽且带来美国诸如加油站，餐馆等的发展（it has led to the growth…）。题⼲中将引起与被引起的关系搞反，应该是先有洲际间⾼速公路的发展才带来美国副业的发展，所以此句话错误。

8. personal freedom of mobility 考查细节→寻读法→同义转述→句意理解。从题⼲中的关键信息词短语the

greatest benefit（最⼤的利处）在⽂中找不到完全⼀致的词眼，但可找到相关同义转化，在第七段的最后⼀句话中what theycherish most（对他们说最可贵的事物）正是题⼲中关键短语的换⼀种说法，理解了这个就能很快找到答案。9. 75% 考查细节→寻读法→句层次理解。从关键信息词trucks 和deliver more than 可找到原⽂的出处第⼋段的第⼀句话：全国超出百分七⼗五的货物运输是由卡车送达。

[A] The girls got on well with each other.[B]It's understandable that girls don't get along.[C]She was angry with the other young stars.

[D]The girls lacked the courage to fight. 沪江四六级http://www.doczj.com/doc/8418452385.html M: What would be like working with those young stars?

W: It was a great group, I always got mad when people said that we didn’t ge t along, just because we were girls, there wasnever a fight. We had a great time.Q: What does the woman mean?

【解析】选项表明对话与⼥孩们之间的相处情况有关，⽽由［C］可推测这些⼥孩很可能是⼀群年轻的明星（young stars）。［D］与⼥孩们的相处这⼀话题关系不⼤，与其他三项内容明显不同，故可初步排除。［B］、［C］意思相近，均表⽰⼥孩们相处得不太好，故⼆者均不⼤可能为答案。［A］则表⽰⼥孩们相处得⾮常好，与［B］、［C］同时相反，根据命题规律，同时与两个意思相近的选项相反的选项很可能为答案。因此可初步推测本题答案为［A］。听⾳时重点留意⼥孩们相处得如何（“好”还是“不好”）。what would be like doing sth.?意为“…怎么样？”，是⽤于寻问情况的⼀种常见句式。沪江四六级http://www.doczj.com/doc/8418452385.html 12.

[A] The woman does her own housework.[B] The woman needs a housekeeper.[C]The woman's house is in a mess.[D]The woman works as a housekeeper.

M: Are you telling me you don't have a housekeeper?W: No, we don't. If you make a mess, you clean it up yourself.Q: What do we learn from this conversation?

【解析】选项中housework和housekeeper（管家）表明对话与家务活和管家有关。［C］是说房间的情况（房间很乱），⽽其他三项均是陈述⼥⼠是否雇佣管家承担家务活有关，故［C］可初步排除。［D］是说⼥⼠是⼀名housekeeper，根据常识，housekeeper的主要⼯作就是负责管理家务，那她⾃⼰的家务活肯定是由她⾃⼰来做（［A］的内容），即［D］成⽴，［A］就同时成⽴，因此［D］不⼤可能为答案。故听⾳时应留意以下选项要点：woman－⾃⼰做housework；需要housekeeper。make a mess意为“弄脏，弄乱”。

13. 沪江四六级http://www.doczj.com/doc/8418452385.html [A] The Edwards are quite well-off.

[B] The Edwards should cut down on their living expenses.[C] It'll be unwise for the Edwards to buy another house.

[D] It's too expensive for the Edwards to live in their present house.

W: I hear that the Edwards are thinking of buying another house.

M: Should they be doing that with all the other expenses they have to pay? Anyhow, they are over 70 now, their presenthouse is not too bad.Q: What does the man imply?

【解析】由选项中should, unwise等词可推测问题应该涉及到看法或建议。选项中living expenses（⽣活开⽀）和buy anotherhouse表明对话应与the Edwards的⽣活开⽀和购房计划有关。［A］与此主题关系不⼤，且与其他三项内容明显不同，故可初步排除。［D］是说the Edwards⽬前的住房开⽀太⼤，⾔外之意就是［B］（the Edwards应该削减⽣活开⽀），因此［D］也不⼤可能为答案。故听⾳时应重点留意以下两点：cut down expenses；unwise to buy house。对话中男⼠⽤反问语⽓（should they be doing…?）表⽰反对意见They shouldn’t be doing…（≈It’ll be unwise…to do…）。14.

[A] The woman didn't expect it to be so warm at noon.

[B] The woman is sensitive to weather changes. 沪江四六级http://www.doczj.com/doc/8418452385.html [C] The weather forecast was unreliable.[D] The weather turned cold all of a sudden.

M: You look like you are freezing to death. Why don't you put this on?

W: Thank you, it was so warm at noon. I didn't expect the weather to change so quickly.Q: What do we learn from the conversation?

【解析】选项表明对话与天⽓变化和⼥⼠的反应有关。［C］是说天⽓预报的情况，与主题不太相关，与其他选项内容明显不同，故可初步排除。

［A］是说没有料到天⽓突然变暖，［D］是说天⽓突然变冷，⼆者意思正好相反，故很可能有⼀个为答案。因此听⾳时重点关注天⽓是突然“变冷”还是“变暖”，另外也要注意对话中是否提到了⼥⼠对天⽓变化敏感（sensitive）。抓住男⼠话中的freezing to death（冷得要命）即可基本确定答案为［D］。unreliable意为“不可靠的”。all of a sudden意为“突然，出乎意料地”。

15. 沪江四六级http://www.doczj.com/doc/8418452385.html [A] At a clinic.[B]In a supermarket.[C]At a restaurant.[D]In an ice cream shop.

M: I'll have the steak, French Fries, and let's see, chocolate ice-cream for dissert.

W: Oh, Oh, you know these things will ruin your health, too much fat and sugar, how about ordering some vegetables andfruit instead?

Q: Where does the conversation most probably take place?

【解析】选项表明本题为“地点场景”类型。做这类题⽬时，在听⾳时要注意捕捉符合某⼀地点场景特点的关键词，结合语境作出推断，⼀般这类题⽬的信息词都不只⼀个，因此切忌听到只⾔⽚语就妄下结论。本题中如只抓住前⾯的steak, French Fries,ice-cream和后⾯的vegetables and fruit等词，则很有可能会误选［B］。只有抓住关键词“order（点菜）”才可以迅速确定答案为［C］。16.

[A] The woman did not feel any danger growing up in the Bronx.[B] The man thinks it was quite safe living in the Bronx district.[C] The woman started working at an early age to support her family.[D]The man doesn't think it safe to send an 8-year-old to buy things.

M: What was it like growing up in New York's Bronx District? Was it safe?

W: To me, it was. It was all I knew. My mom would send me to the shop and I'd go and buy things when I was about 8 yearsold.

Q: What do we learn from the conversation?

【解析】选项表明对话与在Bronx区成长或⽣活的安全状况有关。由选项中feel, think等词可推测问题与某⼈的看法或感受有关。［C］是说⼥⼠很⼩就开始⼯作养家，和主题关系不⼤，与其他选项内容明显不同，故可初步排除。选项要点为：woman－no danger；man－safe/ not safe。故听⾳时重点应留意男⼠或⼥⼠是觉得Bronx区是“安全”还是“不安全”。沪江四六级http://www.doczj.com/doc/8418452385.html 17.

[A] The man has never seen the woman before.[B]The two speakers work for the same company.[C]The two speakers work on the same floor.[D]The woman is interested in market research.

M: Nice weather, isn't it? Oh, I've seen you around the office, but I don't think we've met, I am Henry Smith, I work in theMarket Research Section.

W: Nice to meet you, Henry. I am Helen Grant, I am in the Advertising Section on the ninth floor.Q: What can we infer from the conversation?

【解析】选项表明对话双⽅很可能是在同⼀家公司或同⼀个楼层上班，但彼此可能不太相熟。［D］项是说⼥⼠对市场研究感兴趣，没有提到男⼠的情况，与其他三项内容明显不同，故可初步排除。因此听⾳时应主要留意以下要点：对话双⽅是在“同⼀公司”上班（［B］）还是在“同⼀楼层”上班（［C］）；男⼠以前是否见过⼥⼠（［A］）。注意“Market Research

Section”与“Advertising Section”应该属于同⼀公司的两个不同部门，由此可判断男⼠和⼥⼠在同⼀公司上班。沪江四六级http://www.doczj.com/doc/8418452385.html 18.

[A]The woman can't tolerate any noise.[B] The man is looking for an apartment.[C] The man has missed his appointment.[D] The woman is going to take a train trip.

M: Mam, I hear you have an apartment for rent, can I take a look at it?

W: Sure, you're welcome any time by appointment, but I have to tell you the building is close to a railway with the noise. Youmight as well save the trip.

Q: What do we learn from the conversation?

【解析】选项中noise, look for an apartment和appointment表明对话很可能与找公寓或看房⼦有关。［D］与其他三项内容⼏乎没有关联，故可初步排除。因此听⾳时应重点留意以下要点：woman－can’t tolerate noise；man－looking for apartment,miss appointment。［A］表⽰找公寓的是⼥⼠，［B］则表⽰找⼯作的是男⼠，⼆者中很有可能有⼀个为答案，因此听⾳时应重点辨别找公寓的是“男⼠”还是“⼥⼠”。

预览三道题各选项，由21题可推测对话中男⼠（Mr. Saunders）很可能是在申请⼥⼠公司的职位。故对话很可能是围绕申请⼯作这⼀话题⽽展开。

19. What's the purpose of Mr. Thunder's visit?

【解析】选项均为不定式表明本题很可能是关于某事的⽬的。⽽选项内容都是关于男⼠与⼥⼠之间的活动，可推测本题很可能是关于男⼠拜访⼥⼠的⽬的。由21题分析可知，对话是围绕男⼠申请⼯作这⼀话题展开，故本题答案很可能为[B]“to beinterviewed.

20. What is Mr. Thunder's current job?

【解析】选项表明本题很可能是考查的是男⼠⽬前的⼯作。[B]、[C]、[D]均表⽰他在为其他公司⼯作，[A]

则是说男⼠⾃⼰经营⼀家⼩的贸易公司，与“男⼠申请⼥⼠公司的⼯作”这⼀主题不符，也与其他三项内容明显不同，故可初步排除。⽽从19题选项中的business report和stock market可推测男⼠的⼯作⽐较可能为[C]（lead a team fo brokers）。⽽[B]中的insurance （保险）和[D]中的public relations（公共关系）在其他各题选项中均找不到任何线索。另外听⾳时应注意辨别男⼠是在“⼤公司”还是在“⼩公司”⼯作，通过这⼀点便可

排除两个⼲扰选项，之后确定答案也就⽐较容易了。沪江四六级http://www.doczj.com/doc/8418452385.html broker意为“保险经济⼈”。

21. What can we conclude from the conversation?

【解析】选项[A]、[D]是⼥⼠对男⼠的看法，选项[C]则是男⼠对⼯作条件的看法，故本题很可能与⾯试的结果有关。[B]是说男⼠申请的这份⼯作所需承担的责任，与⾯试⽆关，与其他三项内容明显不同，故可初步排除。[A]表⽰⼥⼠对男⼠不太满意，[D]则表⽰⼥⼠对男⼠很满意，⼆者意思相反，故很可能有⼀个为答案。听⾳时应重点留意⼥⼠的态度如何。Questions 22 to 25 are based on the conversation you have just heard.22.

M: Hey, Karen, you are not really reading it, are you?W: Pardon?

M: The book! You haven't turned the page in the last ten minutes.

W: No, Jim, I suppose I haven't. I need to get through although, but I keep drifting away.M: So it doesn't really hold your interest?

W: No, not really. I wouldn't bother with it, to be honest, but I have to read it for a seminar. I'm at the university. M: It's a labor oflabor then rather than a labor of love.

W: I should say, I don't like Dickens at all really, the author, indeed, I am starting to like the whole course less and less. 沪江四六级http://www.doczj.com/doc/8418452385.html M: It's not just the book, it's the course as well?

W: Yeah, in a way, although the course itself isn't really that bad, a lot of it is pretty good, in fact, and the lecturers are fine. It'sme, I suppose. You see, I wanted to do philosophy rather than English, but my parents took me out of it. M: So the course isOK as such. It's just that hadn't been left to you. You would have chosen a different one.

W: Oh, they had my best interest at heart, of course,[24B] my parents. They always do, don't they? They believe that my jobprospects would be pretty limited with the degree of philosophy. Plus they give me really a generous allowance, but I ambeginning to feel that I'm wasting my time and their money. They would be so disappointed though if I told them I wasquitting.

预览四道题各选项，由22题可推测对话中⼥⼠（Karen）很可能对某⼀课程缺乏兴趣或感觉吃⼒，23题则涉及到Karen对专业的喜好问题，25题则表明对话很可能与Karen更换专业有关。综合来看，对话很可能是围绕Karen不满⽬前专业想调换这⼀话题展开。沪江四六级http://www.doczj.com/doc/8418452385.html 22. Why can't Karen concentrate on the book?

【解析】由worried, find it too hard, lack interest可推测本题很可能是与Karen对it的感受有关。由本题[A]中的seminar（讨论会）及其他题选项中course, major等词可推测本题中it应该与某⼀课程有关。[B]是说男⼠⼀直打扰Karen，与其他三项

（Karen⾃⼰的感受）内容明显不同，故可初步排除。⽽根据23题中prefer和enjoy可推测本题很可能是与Karen的兴趣有关，即本题答案很可能为[D]。

23. Why is Karen starting to like the course less and less?

【解析】根据上题分析，选项中boring, poorly designed与prefer, enjoy表明本题很可能是关于Karen对该课程缺乏兴趣的原因有关。两道题结合起来分析，问题应该是Karen主观⽅⾯的原因引起的。因此本题的答案应主要在[C]和[D]之间选择，重点辨别Karen是更喜欢“philosophy（哲学）”还是更喜欢“literature（⽂学）”。rather than意为“⽽不是”。沪江四六级http://www.doczj.com/doc/8418452385.html

24. Who thinks Philosophy graduates have limited job opportunities?

【解析】选项均为⼈物⾓⾊表明本题是针对“who”进⾏提问。联系对话主题，本题很可能与影响Keren对课程或专业的喜好或选择的⼈有关。听⾳时注意辨认选项中的关键词。Have one’s best interest at heart意为“处处为某⼈的利益着想”。25. What is Karen thinking of doing?

【解析】选项均为现在分词表明本题为考查“⾏为活动”类型。[B]与对话主题及其他选项均⽆关系，故可初步排除。[D]是说要退出⼤学，⽽根据对主题的分析，对话主要涉及的是专业问题，没有提到要退学的问题，故本题答案更可能在[A]和[C]之间选择。⽽[C]选项是说转到外语系，实际上也是改变专业，包含在[A]之内，故本题答案最有可能为[A]。注意这⾥的quit是指退出现在的专业，⽽不是指退出⼤学，选择答案时需根据上下⽂，切忌根据常识进⾏判断。沪Section BPassage One26.

[A] Rent a grave.[B] Burn the body.

[C] Bury the dead near a church.[D] Buy a piece of land for a grave.27.

[A] To solve the problem of lack of land. 沪江四六级http://www.doczj.com/doc/8418452385.html [B] To see whether they have decayed.[C] To follow the Greek religious practice.[D] To move them to a multi-storey graveyard.28.

[A] They should be buried lying down.[B] They should be buried standing up.[C] They should be buried after being washed.[D] They should be buried when partially decayed.29.

[A] Burning dead bodies to ashes.[B] Storing dead bodies in a remote place.[C]Placing dead bodies in a bone room.[D] Digging up dead bodies after three years.

In Greece, only rich people will rest in peace for ever when they die. Most of the population, however, will be undisturbed foronly three years, then they will be dug up, washed, compressed into a small tin box, and placed in a bone room. If the bodyhas only partially decayed, it is reburied in a smaller cheaper grave, but not for long, the body will be dug up again some timelater when it has fully decayed. Buying a piece of land for a grave is the only way to avoid this process. The cost of the graveis so great that most people choose to rent a grave for three years and even after being dug up, lasting peace is still not

guaranteed. If no one pays for renting space in the bone room, the skeleton is removed and stored in a building in a poor partof the town. Lack of space in Amphons is the main reason why the dead are dug up after three years. The city is so

overcrowded that sometimes dead bodies are kept in hospitals for over a week until a grave is found. Amphons city councilwants to introduce cremation that is burning the dead bodies as a means of dealing with the problem. But the Greek Churchresists this practice, they believe the only place where people burn is a hell, so burning dead bodies is against the Greekconcept of life after death. To save space, the church suggested burying the bodies standing up instead of lying down. Somepeople proposed building multi-storey underground grave yards.

预览四道题各选项，由反复出现的bury, body, grave等词可推测本⽂与⼫体在墓地的安藏有关。沪江四六级http://www.doczj.com/doc/8418452385.html

26. What must Greeks do to keep the dead resting in ever-lasting peace?

【解析】选项均为动词原形表明本题为考查“⾏为活动”类型。四个选项均与埋藏⼫体有关，[B]项概念太泛，其他三项都较具体，故[B]不⼤可能为答案。[A]表⽰“租”墓地，⽽[D]表⽰“买”墓地，⼆者中很可能有⼀个为答案，听⾳时应重点关注。ever-lasting意为“持久的”。根据⾸句中only rich people…就可基本确定答案为[D]（没有钱就买不起墓地）。27. Why are most dead bodies in Amphons dug up after three years?
