M: I just received an email from one of my former classmates. I was surprised, I hadnt heard from him for ages.W: Well, Ive been out of touch with most of my old friends, only one or two drop me a line occasionally. Q: What does the woman mean?【答案】D【解析】该题选项C，D都是讲she和老朋友的联系情况，但意思相反，因此其一很可能为正确答案。对话中女士说道Ive been out of touch(失去联系) with most of my old friend, only one or two drop me a line（写封短信）occasionally（偶然）。由此可推断该女士has lost contact（联系）with most of her old friends。故答案为D。12. M: If you can make up your mind about the color, I can start on the outside of your house early next week. W: Well, right now I think I want white for the window frames and yellow for the walls. But Ill let you know tomorrow. Q: Who was the woman talking to? 【答案】A【解析】选项表明，该题考查的是职业，而且都是维修或者装修方面的，因此听音时要注意识别关键词。对话中提到的color, white for the window, yellow for the walls都表明和女士谈话的是要给她刷油漆的工人，故答案为A。make up ones mind意为“下决心，决定”。13. W: Excuse me, do you have any apartments available for under 500 dollars a month? I need to move in next week when my new job starts. M: The only vacant one I have is 600 dollars.

Q: What does the man suggest the woman do? 【答案】C【解析】选项表明，该题很可能考查的是某人找房子，租房子的事情。对话中女士想租一间每月房租低于500美元的房子，但男士说当前只有一间600美元的房子能够出租，她建议女士inquire the apartment complex（公寓） down the street，故答案为C。14. W: You bought a pair of jeans yesterday, didnt you? What are they like? M: Oh, they are pretty like my other ones except with the larger waist. I guess I hadnt spent much time exercising lately. Q: What can we infer from the conversation about the man? 【答案】C【解析】该题各选项都讲了关于he的一些细节，表面上意思不重叠，但经过仔细分析我们可能会推理到he买了一条牛仔裤。听音时要注意各选项之间的内在联系。对话中女士问男士最近买的牛仔裤怎么样？男士回答道they are pretty like my other ones except with the larger waist(除了腰肥一点，和我其它的裤子没什么两样)，I guess I hadnt spent much time exercising lately(我想我最近没有花很多时间来锻炼身体)。由此我们能够推断，男士最近由于缺乏锻炼而长胖（gained some weight）了。故答案为C。15. W: I really like those abstract paintings we saw yesterday. What do you think? M: I guess its something I havent acquired a taste for yet? Q: What does the man imply? 【答案】D【解析】选项表明，该题可能考查的是男士或者女士对（抽象）艺术的品味或感觉。对话中男士对抽象画（abstract paintings）的感觉是its something he hasnt acquired a taste for yet(还没有获得欣赏抽象艺术的品味)，这是一种委婉的表示方式，她的真正含义是她doesnt like abstract paintings。故答案为D。16. W: You havent seen a blue notebook, have you? I hope I didnt leave it in the reading room. M: Did you check that pile of journals youve borrowed from library the other day? Q: What is the man trying to say to the woman? 【答案】B【解析】该题选项A, B都是关于notebook的不同位置，故本题很可能考查的就是笔记本的位置问题。对话中男士向女士建议to check that pile of journals she has borrowed from library the other day(检查一下她那天从图书馆借的一堆杂志)，故答案为B。17.

Q: Why does the woman decline the mans invitation? 【答案】A【解析】选项A，D都是关于she的睡眠问题。听音时要注意各选项之间的内在联系。对话中男士邀请女士喝杯咖啡（How about joining me for a cup of coffee）,女士回答道Id love to, but Im exhausted(筋疲力尽). I was up till 3 this morning writing a paper for my literature class.故我们能够推断女士是由于想睡觉而decline the mans invitation(拒绝邀请)。故答案为A。 18. W: You had a job interview yesterday, didnt you? How did it go?

What is your company get out of this?M: Well, I still have all my old contacts at work, so I know who to contact to get something done. The company gets flexibility, too. Once the jobs over, thats it. Im not on their books any more.19. Why does Simon find his retired life enjoyable?20. How does Simon get to know about the companys available posts?21. Why does the company adopt the phased retirement scheme?* 解题思路 19. 【答案】A【解析】经过预览和分析该对话所有的备选项,我们可能只能经过几个关键词personnel, staff, retired employees来猜测该题可能是关于员工或者退休员工的问题。题19的各选项表明，该题是关于he的工作或者生活情况。该问题是为什么Simon认为自己的退休生活是enjoyable(令人愉快的)。对话中Simon提道，她退休后能够spend more time with his family,还能够travel a bit off season(在淡季) when everywhere is less crowded and hotels cost less。由此可知，Simon是因为能够灵活地（flexibly）支配自己的时间而喜欢她的退休生活。故答案为A。20. 【答案】D【解析】选项表明，该题考查的是某人联系工作的途径。该问题为Simon如何得知该公司有空缺的职位（available posts）。对话中Simon提道the company advertises posts on its website that retired employees like myself can access(有机会访问，接近)。故答案为D。21. 【答案】D【解析】选项表明，该题可能考查的是公司采取某项措施的目的。该问题问该公司adopt the phased retirement scheme（逐步的，分阶段退休方案）的目的。对话中Simon提道，公司雇佣她这个退休人员是因为he still has all his old contacts at work（工作联系）, so he knows who to contact to get something done. The company gets flexibility（灵活性，机动性）。由此我们可推断，公司是想利用退休工人资源（utilize its retired employees resources）。故答案为D。Long Conversation TwoW: Oh, where are we going?M: I want to show you something.W: I know, but what is it?M: A farm. Its just down this road. Its a small place, but at least it would be our own.W: A farm? How can we afford to buy a farm?M: It isnt very large, only 40 acres.

And maybe keep a few chickens, couldnt we?M: Yes, and we can probably grow a lot of our own food.W: What are you thinking about growing, if we do take this place?M: Well, it really isnt big enough for corn. I thought we might try to raise a crop of potatoes.W: Potatoes? There are a lot of work.M: We are used to hard work, arent we?W: Yes, we are, but the money. Do we have enough to get started? It seems like a dream.M: I think weve saved enough. We can pay a little on the farm and maybe put a few dollars down on the tractor, too. 22. What are the speakers going to do at the time of the conversation?23. What does the man say about the farm?24. Why does the man intend to grow potatoes rather than corn on the farm?25. What is the womans greatest concern about the mans plan?* 解题思路 22. 【答案】C【解析】做对话听力前我们一般要先预览和分析该对话中所有的选项，我们能够经过题24的所有选项以及题23的选项D推断该对话是关于一片土地的。题22的所有选项都是动词原形短语，表示计划做某事或者建议做某事。该问题为，说话者在进行谈话的时候正要去做什么。对话一开始男士就要给女士看一样东西（show something）,a farm是男士花钱买来的一个农场。故选项C最为恰当。23. 【答案】B【解析】该题各选项都是关于it的一些细节问题，听音时要注意细节的把握。该问题是：关于这块地，男士都说了什么？对话中男士说Its a small place, and there are two bedrooms on the place。故选项B最为准确。24. 【答案】C【解析】选项表明，该题考查的是关于在这块土地上应该种些什么农作物的问题。对话中男士说道it really isnt big enough for corn.

Hell address us on the subject of the Community Policing Program. Most of you know that Mr. Washington has a distinguished record as head of our police force for more than ten years. However, you may not know that he also holds a masters degree in criminology and studied abroad a year with the international police force which deals with crimes around the world. Mr. Washington first introduced the Community Policing Program eight years ago. The idea behind the program is to get police officers out of their cars and into our neighborhoods where they can talk directly to merchants and residents about the real dynamics of our city. These officers do more than make arrests. They try to find ways to help solve the problems that contribute to crime in the first place. Often, that means hooking people up with services offered by other city agencies such as schools, hospitals, housing, drug treatment centers. And the program seems to be working: crime is down and our citizens report that they feel more secure. Today, Mr. Washington is going to tell us more about this program. Now lets welcome Mr. Robert Washington.26. What is the purpose of the speakers remarks?27. What does the speaker say about Mr. Robert Washington? 28.
