鶧irections: in this section,you will hear 3 short passages.at the end of each passage,you will hear some questions.both the passage and the questions will be spoken only once.after you hear a question,you must choose the best answer from the four choices marked a),b),c) and d).then mark the corresponding letter on the answer sheet with a single line through the centre.
passage one
not everybody reads the daily newspaper. people who do not read newspapers are sometimes referred to as non-readers. early research has shown that non-readers are generally low in education, low in income, either very young or very old. in addition, non-readers are more likely to live in rural areas and have less contact with neighbors and friends. other studies show that non-readers tend to isolate themselves from the community, are less likely to own a home and seldom belong to local voluntary organizations. why don’t these people read daily paper? they say they don’t have the time, they prefer radio or tv, they have no interest in reading at all, and besides, they think newspapers are too expensive.
鶵ecent surveys, however, have indicated that the portrait of the non-reader is more complicated than first thought. there appears to be a group of non-readers that does not fit the type mentioned above. they are high in income and fall into the age group of twenty-six to sixty-five. they are far more likely to report that they don’t have the time to read the papers and they have no interest in the content. editors and publishers are attempting to win them back. first, they are adding news briefs and comprehensive indexes. this will help overcome the time problem, and they are also giving the variety to newspaper content to help build the readers interest.
鶴uestions 11 to 13 are based on the passage you have just heard.
11. what is typical of non-readers according to the early research?
鶤 they&nbs
p;are interested in other kinds of reading.
鶥 they are active in voluntary services.
鶦 they tend to be low in education and in income.
鶧 they live in isolated areas.
正确答案
鶦)they tend to be in low in education and in income.
答案解析
本题的问题是：
根据早期研究不阅读报纸的人有什么特点?文章中提到，早期研究表明不读报的人通常受程度低，收入低，要么很年轻，要么很老。所以应选c。
技巧指点
如果能综观该短文的所有选项的话，可以推测出该短文是有关“什么样的人，他们是否读报，相关原因，以及报社怎么做”这些内容的。听对话时抓住第三句话即可解题。
12. what are the findings of recent surveys?
鶤 the reasons why people don’t read newspapers are more complicated than assumed.
鶥 there are more uneducated people among the wealthy than originally expected.
鶦 the number of newspaper readers is steadily increasing.
鶧 there are more nonreaders among young people nowadays.
正确答案
鶤)the reasons people don’t read newspapers are more complicated than assumed.
答案解析
本题的问题是：
最近的调查发现是什么?文章中提到：然而， 最近的调查表明不读报的人的形象要比起初所想的复杂的多。随后，文章中提到一群与前面所说的不读报者不同的人---他们收入高，年龄从26岁到65岁，他们很可能说他们没时间或对报纸内容不感兴趣。可见人们不读报的原因是多种多样的。因而a是正确的。
技巧指点
根据短文可以听出选项b、c、d都没有提到。听的时候要注意转折词，例如本文中的however。
13. what are editors and publishers doing to attract non-readers?
鶤 lowering the prices of their newspapers.
鶥 shortening their news stories.
鶦 adding variety to their newspaper content.
鶧 including more advertisements in their newspapers.
正确答案
鶦) adding variety to their newspaper content.
答案解析
本题有4项选择答案，第一项是说“降低报纸价格，”，第二项说：“缩短他们的新闻报道。”第三项说：“增加报纸内容的多样性。”第四项说：“在报纸里登更多的广告。”其中选项a、b、d文章都没有提到。原文的内容是：编辑和出版商在企图赢回这些读者。首先，他们增加新闻摘要和阅读目录。这样可以帮助读者解决时间紧张的问题。而且，为了建立读者的兴趣，他们还在增加报纸的内容的多样性。因此c项选择正确。
技巧指点 这道题实际上在看到选项时就应可以推测出该题是关于解决问题的方法。短文最后有连接词first, and… also… 很明显的引出了报纸采取的方法。
passage two
鶧id you know that there is a kind of bird that can sew? this bird, called the tailor-bird, uses its mouth as a needle. it sews leaves together in the shape of a cup, then adds a layer of straw to the inside of the cup and lays its eggs there. each bird species builds its own special kind of nest. the most common materials used for nests are grasses, branches and feathers. a bird must weave these materials into a nest. just imagine building a house without cement or nails to hold together. another bird is called the weaver-bird. the weaver-bird builds a nest that looks like a basket. the nest is shaped like a pear with a hole in the middle. the hole is the door of the nest. a third bird is called oven-bird. the oven-bird makes a nest that is very solid. the nest is made of mud. the oven-bird forms the mud into the shape of an oven and then lets it dry in the sun. the sun bakes the mud, making it very hard.
鶱ot all birds make their homes in branches. some birds build their nests on the ground, while others bear their eggs under the ground, and some birds do not build nests at all.so when you look fo
r nests and eggs in the branches of trees and bushes, remember that some nests may be right under your feet.
鶴uestion 14 to 17 are based on the passage you have just heard.
14. what does the nest built by tailor-bird look like?
a a basket.
鶦 an egg.
鶥 a cup.
鶧 an oven.
正确答案
鶥) a cup.
答案解析
本题的问题是：
缝纫鸟建造的窝象什么样子?原文中在谈到缝纫鸟的时候有一句说： “this bird called the tailor bird uses its mouth as a needle. it sews leaves together in the shape of a cup, … .”这种被称做缝纫鸟的鸟，用它的嘴做针。它把叶子缝到一起成为杯子的形状… …。所以应选b。
技巧指点 这篇短文是说明文，而且该题主要考查细节。因此，在听短文时需要针对各个选项记笔记，记下相关内容。
15. why is there a hole in the weaver-bird’s nest?
鶤 to let in the sunshine.
b to serve as its door.
鶦 to keep the nest cool.
鶧 for the bird to lay eggs.
正确答案
鶥) to serve as its door.
答案解析
本题的问题是：为什么织巢鸟的窝有一个洞？文章在介绍织巢鸟的时候提到：织巢鸟搭的窝看上去象一个篮子，形状象一个中间有个洞的梨。这个洞就是织巢鸟窝的门。所以选b。
技巧指点 该题考查的同样是细节，也需要考生跟上文章的节奏，记录下来与各选项相关的内容。
16. what is the oven-bird’s nest made of?
鶤 branches.
b grasses.
c mud.
鶧 straw.
正确答案
鶦) mud.
答案解析
本题的问题是：灶巢鸟的窝是由什么做成的?短文中提到的第三种鸟是灶巢鸟，这种鸟的窝非常坚固，是由泥做成的。因此c正确。
技巧指点
象该篇短文这样的说明文并没有原理，只需要抓住细节就可以。比较有利的一点是象这样的文章通常文字比较简单，容易理解跟上。
17. what might surprise us about bird’s nests according to the speaker?
鶤 some are built underground.
鶥 some can be eaten.
鶦 most are sewed with grasses.
鶧 most are dried by the sun.
正确答案
鶤) some are built underground.
答案解析
本题的问题是：
根据讲话人所说，关于鸟巢什么方面可能会令我们吃惊?文章中明确提到“not all birds make their homes in branches. some birds build their nests on the ground, while others bury their eggs under the ground…. so when you look for nests and eggs in branches of the trees and bushes, remember that some nests may be right under your feet.”所以选a。
技巧指点
该题比较难的地方在于不仅要听懂原文，还要能作出一点合理推断：不是所有的鸟窝都在树上，有的可能在地下，甚至在你的脚底下，想象一下这个场景，显然是令人吃惊的。
passage three
鶼ou can tell the age of a tree by counting its rings. but these records of a tree’s life really say a lot more. scientists are using tree rings to learn what’s been happening on the sun’s surface for the last ten thousand years. each ring represents a year of growth. as the tree grows, it adds a layer to its trunk,taking up chemical elements from the air. by looking at elements in the rings from a given year, scientists can tell what elements were in the air that year.
dr. stevenson is analyzing one element, carbon-14, in rings from both living and dead trees. some rings go back almost ten thousand years to the end of the ice age.when stevenson followed the carbon-14 trail back in time, he found carbon-14 levels changed with the intensity of solar burning. you see，he
sun has cycles. some times it burns fiercely, at other times it’s relatively calm.during the sun’s violent periods, it throws off charged particles in fast moving streams called "solar winds". the particles interfere with formation of carbon-14 on earth. when there is more solar wind activity, less carbon-14 is produce.ten thousand years of tree rings show that the carbon-14 level rises and falls about every 420 years. the scientists concluded that solar wind activity must follow the same cycle.
question 18 to 20 are based on the passage you have just heard。
18. what’s the purpose of the scientists in studying tree rings?
鶤 to examine the chemical elements in the ice age.
鶥 to look into the pattern of solar wind activity.
鶦 to analyze the composition of different trees.
鶧 to find out the origin of carbon-14 on earth.
正确答案
鶧) to find out the origin of carbon-14 on earth.
答案解析
本题的问题是：家研究树轮的目的是什么?第一个选项的意思是：考察冰河时代的元素；第二个选项的意思是：研究太阳风活动的模式；第三个选项的意思是：分析不同树的构成；第四个选项的意思是：找出地球上碳14的来源。前三个选项都没有提到，因此选d。
技巧指点 从选项中都是不定式可以推测该问题是关于目的的。文章中提到家研究年轮的目的是想知道在过去一万年里太阳表面的情况。但是选项中没有这一点，综合全文判断，通过碳14可以推测太阳的情况，因此研究碳14也可以理解为一个目的。
19. what affects the amount of carbon-14 on earth?
鶤 the lifecycle of trees.
鶥 the number of trees.
鶦 the intensity of solar burning.
鶧 the quality of air.
正确答案
鶦)the intensity of solar burning.
答案解析
本题的问题是：什么影响地球上的碳14的数量。文章中有一个明确的句子”during the sun’s violent periods, it throws off charged particles in fast moving strings called solar winds. the particle interfere with the formation of carbon-14 on earth”. 所以应选c。
技巧指点 该文句子比前一篇短文复杂，较难理解。但是该题的线索较多，除了上面两句之外，还可以通过对 “when there’s more solar wind activity, less carbon-14 is produced.”的理解来判断。
20. what do we learn from the passage about solar wind activity?
鶤 it affects the growth of trees.
鶥 it has been increasing since the ice age.
鶦 it is determined by the chemicals in the air.
鶧 it follows a certain cycle.
正确答案
鶧)it follows a certain cycle.
答案解析
本题的问题是：从文章中我们可以了解到关于太阳风活动的什么知识？在短文最后提到太阳风活动和碳14的增长减少一样，遵循一定的循环。所以应选d。
技巧指点 关注短文最后几句，往往会有重要考点。

passage one
not everybody reads the daily newspaper. people who do not read newspapers are sometimes referred to as non-readers. early research has shown that non-readers are generally low in education, low in income, either very young or very old. in addition, non-readers are more likely to live in rural areas and have less contact with neighbors and friends. other studies show that non-readers tend to isolate themselves from the community, are less likely to own a home and seldom belong to local voluntary organizations. why don’t these people read daily paper? they say they don’t have the time, they prefer radio or tv, they have no interest in reading at all, and besides, they think newspapers are too expensive.
鶵ecent surveys, however, have indicated that the portrait of the non-reader is more complicated than first thought. there appears to be a group of non-readers that does not fit the type mentioned above. they are high in income and fall into the age group of twenty-six to sixty-five. they are far more likely to report that they don’t have the time to read the papers and they have no interest in the content. editors and publishers are attempting to win them back. first, they are adding news briefs and comprehensive indexes. this will help overcome the time problem, and they are also giving the variety to newspaper content to help build the readers interest.
鶴uestions 11 to 13 are based on the passage you have just heard.
11. what is typical of non-readers according to the early research?
鶤 they&nbs
p;are interested in other kinds of reading.
鶥 they are active in voluntary services.

该题比较难的地方在于不仅要听懂原文，还要能作出一点合理推断：不是所有的鸟窝都在树上，有的可能在地下，甚至在你的脚底下，想象一下这个场景，显然是令人吃惊的。
passage three
鶼ou can tell the age of a tree by counting its rings. but these records of a tree’s life really say a lot more. scientists are using tree rings to learn what’s been happening on the sun’s surface for the last ten thousand years. each ring represents a year of growth. as the tree grows, it adds a layer to its trunk,taking up chemical elements from the air. by looking at elements in the rings from a given year, scientists can tell what elements were in the air that year.
dr. stevenson is analyzing one element, carbon-14, in rings from both living and dead trees. some rings go back almost ten thousand years to the end of the ice age.when stevenson followed the carbon-14 trail back in time, he found carbon-14 levels changed with the intensity of solar burning. you see，he
sun has cycles. some times it burns fiercely, at other times it’s relatively calm.during the sun’s violent periods, it throws off charged particles in fast moving streams called "solar winds". the particles interfere with formation of carbon-14 on earth. when there is more solar wind activity, less carbon-14 is produce.ten thousand years of tree rings show that the carbon-14 level rises and falls about every 420 years. the scientists concluded that solar wind activity must follow the same cycle.
question 18 to 20 are based on the passage you have just heard。
18. what’s the purpose of the scientists in studying tree rings?
鶤 to examine the chemical elements in the ice age.
鶥 to look into the pattern of solar wind activity.
鶦 to analyze the composition of different trees.
鶧 to find out the origin of carbon-14 on earth.
正确答案
鶧) to find out the origin of carbon-14 on earth.
答案解析
本题的问题是：家研究树轮的目的是什么?第一个选项的意思是：考察冰河时代的元素；第二个选项的意思是：研究太阳风活动的模式；第三个选项的意思是：分析不同树的构成；第四个选项的意思是：找出地球上碳14的来源。前三个选项都没有提到，因此选d。
技巧指点 从选项中都是不定式可以推测该问题是关于目的的。文章中提到家研究年轮的目的是想知道在过去一万年里太阳表面的情况。但是选项中没有这一点，综合全文判断，通过碳14可以推测太阳的情况，因此研究碳14也可以理解为一个目的。
19. what affects the amount of carbon-14 on earth?
鶤 the lifecycle of trees.
鶥 the number of trees.
鶦 the intensity of solar burning.
鶧 the quality of air.
正确答案
鶦)the intensity of solar burning.
答案解析
本题的问题是：什么影响地球上的碳14的数量。文章中有一个明确的句子”during the sun’s violent periods, it throws off charged particles in fast moving strings called solar winds. the particle interfere with the formation of carbon-14 on earth”. 所以应选c。
技巧指点 该文句子比前一篇短文复杂，较难理解。但是该题的线索较多，除了上面两句之外，还可以通过对 “when there’s more solar wind activity, less carbon-14 is produced.”的理解来判断。
20. what do we learn from the passage about solar wind activity?
鶤 it affects the growth of trees.
鶥 it has been increasing since the ice age.
鶦 it is determined by the chemicals in the air.
鶧 it follows a certain cycle.
正确答案
鶧)it follows a certain cycle.
答案解析
本题的问题是：从文章中我们可以了解到关于太阳风活动的什么知识？在短文最后提到太阳风活动和碳14的增长减少一样，遵循一定的循环。所以应选d。
技巧指点 关注短文最后几句，往往会有重要考点。
