Hand in Hand We Stand
On May 12, , an 8.0-magnitude earthquake struck Sichuan. Thousands of people lost their lives and even more people were left homeless. But, hand in hand, the Chinese people faced this disaster with compassion and courage.
People across China offered to make donations energetically. Relief materials and funds were continuously pouring into quake hit areas. What’s more, several rescue teams and medical professionals, at home and abroad, was sent to the earthquake stricken areas to search and rescue the survivals.
As far as we students are concerned, we should provide our helping hands for the earthquake stricken compatriots. We can donate our spare money to the suffering people who are in urgent need of food and medicine. Blood donation is also of vital significance for those injured people. Students who are equipped with professional skills can volunteer to the earthquake stricken areas to rescue more lives. Besides, our spirit support and sincere prayers can help the broken hearts overcome the temporary disaster.

第一段开门见山，指出地震发生的时间和地点。其中，hand in hand “手挽手”、face this disaster with compassion and courage“用热情和勇气面对灾难”属于高分表示，为文章增色不少。
第二段直接说明全国人民对灾区的捐助情况。Whats more的使用使文章层次分明，结构清晰。make donations“捐赠”、pour into“涌入”这些都是高分表示。
第三段阐述自己作为学生能为灾区做点什么。Besides进一步说明，支持不光包括物质方面，还包括精神方面。As far as one is concerned是表示自己观点时的常见句型；in urgent need of “急切需要”；be equipped with“具备”均为高分表示。

Part Ⅲ Listening Comprehension
Section A
11. M: Gordon needs to find another place to live. The apartment he rents now has been sold to a new owner.
W: He’d better start looking right away. When all the students come back in a few weeks, he won’t find any near the campus.
Q: What does the woman suggest Gordon do?
A）。从选项能够猜测本题是对行为的考查，考查某人应该做某事，因此听录音时要侧重建议性的句型信息。男士说Gordon needs to find another place to live,可知此人想找房子，接着女士说He’d better start looking right away。had better do sth.是建议句型的提示信息，后面的内容即是答案所在。
12. W: Judy earned a lot of money over the summer as an advisor for that agency.
M: I don’t doubt it. What surprises me is that she is still working there, now that classes have started again.
Q: What does the man say about Judy?
B)。由选项预测本题考查男士的观点，听录音时应着重理解男士的话。从女士话中的earn money，over the summer可知对话涉及学校兼职工作，男士的回答中出现了What surprises me is that…，这是明显的提示信息，其后即是答案所在。
13. M: There is an article here in this magazine that might interest you. It’s about buying running shoes.
W: If it’s not chemistry and it’s not on the final exam, I can read it now.
Q: What is the woman probably doing now?
B）。由选项预测本题考查正在发生的动作。对话中男士在向女士推荐一篇文章，解题关键在于理解女士答话中的if条件句，“如果不是因为化学和期末考试，我现在就能读了”。那么真实情况也就是“我在准备考试，没时间读文章”。
14. W: Please turn down the television. I can’t hear anything my friend is saying on the phone.
M: Hurry up and finish your call. I don’t like standing so close. The light hurts my eyes.
Q: Why is the woman upset?
C）。由选项预测本题是对原因提问，而且是针对女士，听录音时应着重体会因果关系。对话中女士要求关闭电视，并直接说明了理由，can’t hear anything on the phone，与C)相符。至于男士的要求及其理由是本题的干扰项，注意辨别。
15. W: I was quite surprised when I heard William play the violin. From the way he talked I thought he was just starting his lessons.
M: Oh, that’s the way he always talks.
Q: What do we learn about William from this conversation?
C）。由选项预测本题是对William的行为进行判断。听力考试中考生不但要辨别细节和事实，还要具备根据内涵、语气等进行推断的能力。本题女士话中的surprised暗示William的violin表现出人意料，但从From the way…his lessons可推出她说话谦虚，让女士原以为她刚开始学习violin
16. W: It’s really a big problem to teach our children how to behave. When I get angry, I say things I don’t mean.
M: If you want your kids to be polite, you’ll have to be polite to them.
Q: What conclusion can be drawn from this conversation?
A）。由选项预测本题是对孩子的行为进行判断。从女士话中的children，teach，behave可知对话是在讨论孩子教育问题。本题关键在于理解男士的回答，“如果你希望孩子们有礼貌，你就必须对她们有礼貌”，强调父母的榜样力量，由此可归纳出Children learn by example的结论。
17. M: Good morning, I’d like to speak to Mr. Jones, please. This is Tim Kunts at the Oak Street computer center.
W: Mr. Kunts, my husband isn’t at home. I can give you his business phone if you’d like to call him at work, though.
Q: Where is Mr. Kunts now?
C）。由选项预测本题是对地点提问，听录音时应着重听表示地点的词。从男士话中I’d like to speak to…可知她在打电话找Mr. Jones，而接电话的是女士，从她答话中的not at home，business phone以及call him at work能够推断出答案是at company。
18. W: I have eaten in so many restaurants during the past week that the thought of eating out again makes me sick.
M: I feel the same way, but there is no way to get out of this dinner appointment.
Q: What does the man mean?
D）。由选项预测本题考查男士在restaurant或eat out上的观点或行为。从女士话中的so many restaurants以及make me sick可知女士反感eat out，男士则回应feel the same way表明她同意女士的观点。故答案为D)。A)为干扰项，男士答话中的no way…appointment 表示她们无法拒绝。
Now you’ll hear two long conversations.
Conversation One
M: …And where do you recommend I shall stay?（19） What’s the Holiday Inn like?
W: It’s nice there. It’s in the city centre and has all the usual business facilities you’ll need. The service is first class.
M: Oh, good. So I’ll get a room there. Now, what’s the best way to get into the hotel from the airport? Should I take a taxi?
W: Well, (20)you can, but you don’t have to. The subway system is very convenient.
M: Mmm…, Can you tell me something about the business hours? I mean, what time are the banks open?
W: The banks? They open at half past eight and close at four thirty.
M: I see. And are they open on Saturday too?
W: I’m afraid not. And I’d better warn you, the shops close early on Saturday. During the week they’re open until half past six, but on Saturdays they close at four.
M: At four! Right. Now, what’s the weather like at this time of year?
W: Well, it’s (21)usually warm. But sometimes it turns very cold and wet. So don’t forget to take what you may need with you. By the way, when are you going on this trip?
M: Oh, (22)not until the middle of the month. The fifteenth, I think. Anything else you want to advise me?
W: No, nothing I can see. It’s a nice country, peaceful and calm, and people are friendly. I’m sure you’ll enjoy your stay there.
19. What are the two speakers talking about?
A）。由选项预测本题是主旨题。对话谈到了住处Holiday Inn(假日酒店)，交通工具taxi和subway，bank和shop的营业时间以及weather，可见是在安排旅行。
20. Why is it not necessary for the man to take a taxi to the hotel?
C）。由选项可知本题是对原因提问，男士的问句Should I take a taxi?是本题的提示信号，下面女士的回答：you can, but you don’t have to否定了对方的想法，并直接说明了原因The subway system is very convenient，故答案为C)。
21. What’s the weather like at this season?
A）。由选项可知本题是对天气提问。What’s the weather like?是本题的提示信息，下面听到的usually warm，but sometimes it turns very cold and wet 即为本题答案。
22. When will the man go on the trip?
C）。由选项预测本题是对时间提问，听录音时要注意表示时间的词。本题也有提示问句：When are you going on this trip? 其后的回答：not until the middle of the month. The fifteenth, I think.锁定了答案为C)。
Conversation Two
W: Bill, is that really you? I haven’t seen you for months.
M: Hello, Christina. Yes, it has been a long time. Good to see you. How have you been?
W: I’ve been okay. I’ve just been so busy with school. We really should get together and catch up. How about joining me for dinner tonight?
M: (23) I’d love to, but I’m taking off for Miami at 8:00 tonight if everything goes well. I’m going home because my brother is getting married on Saturday morning.
W: That’s great. Congratulations! I hope that you have a nice time at home. You’ll just have to take a rain check on that dinner invitation.
M: Well, what are you doing now? Maybe we can go to the coffee shop and chat for a while. There is an attractive, little place I know of down the street.
W: (24) I really wish I could, but I’m on my way to the tennis courts.
M: Tennis courts? I didn’t know you could play tennis.
W: It sounds like that, but actually I can’t. (24) I’m taking lessons so I can learn. My roommate is on the tennis team and she’s gotten me interested in the sport. Do you know how to play?
M: A little, but I haven’t played for years. I really like the game, though. (25) When I come back from my trip, I think I’ll join you in taking lessons.
W: It’s a deal. Just give me a call when you get back.
M: You got it.
23. What will the man do tonight?
A）。由选项可知本题是对男士将要发生的动作进行判断。寒暄后，女士提出dinner tonight，男士回答I’d love to，but…委婉拒绝了邀请。But提示后面为原因，I’m taking off for Miami，后又补充说是going home，故答案为A)。其后的rain check是“延期”的意思。
24. Why can’t the woman join the man for coffee?
C）。由选项预测本题是对原因提问。由上题可知男士无法与女士共进晚餐，因而提出了go to the coffee shop and chat for a while的建议，女士回答：I really wish I could, but…同样委婉拒绝了邀请，并提示后面的原因，即I’m on my way to the tennis courts. I’m taking lessons.与C) 相符。
25. Which of the following did the man agree to do?
D）。由选项可知本题同样是对男士的行为进行判断。抓住关键句I’ll join you in taking lessons.即可推断出答案为D)。
Section B
Passage One
If you’re confused about how much water you really need, I’m not surprised. (26)Conflicting advice in recent headlines appears against the old “8 a day” advice we all grew up with. Is it necessary to swallow down eight glasses of water daily, or is this recommendation exaggerated and out of date? We’ve heard for years that eight glasses of water daily is the minimum necessary to keep healthy. Your weight loss and health depend on it. Drink the minimum and see clearer skin, better sleep, and improved vision. We’re warned of the danger of water shortage in our body without at least eight glasses. But, (27)the tide has turned away from liquid requirement toward examining your daily diet, including what you eat, as well as what you drink. The answer is — you need what you need! If it’s summer, you need more. If you’re exercising, you need more. If you’re a “normal person who sits a lot, who is not sweating, and not exercising more than 15-20 minutes daily, Dr. Heinz Valtin of Dartmouth Medical School says you need no more than four glasses of water daily. Most drinks can be counted as part of your daily fluid consumption. Although the World Health Organization recommends that everyone drink a minimum of two liters of water daily, or about eight cups, (28)the old “8 a day” rule is based on studies performed on people under extraordinary circumstances, including soldiers at high altitude and hospitalized patients. What you and I need is different.
26. What is the traditional opinion concerning water drinking?
C）。预读选项可知，本题与饮水习惯有关。考题考查的是traditional opinion。遵循短文听力听首尾句的原则，在文章第一句提出问题后，第二句接着就说到Conflicting advice in recent headlines appears against the old “8 a day” advice we all grew up with，符合题目中traditional opinion的要求，C)为答案。
27. According to the passage, what is the more proper way of drinking water?
B）。分析选项可知，本题与饮水的根据有关。文章开始先分析了传统的每天8杯水的观点，接着用一个but进行转折，提出新的观点。由于在短文理解中but、however、only、just等后面往往是出考题之处，可知本题的考点即在此处:“But, the tide has turned away…the answer is — you need what you need!”。
28. Why does the author believe that the “8aday” rule doesn’t apply to all people?
C）。本题的考点在文章结尾，分析选项可知，本题考查制定“8aday” rule的原因。本题中需要注意的是although引导的让步状语从句，事实上，主句前隐含了转折的意味，与but、however等一样，这是一个暗含的出题点。The old “8aday” rule is based on studies performed on people under extraordinary circumstances，遵循“听到即是解”的原则，C)为答案。
Passage Two
Weddings in the United States vary as much as the people do. There are church weddings; there are weddings on mountain tops with guests barefooted; and there have been weddings underwater on the ocean floor. But (29)many weddings, no matter where they are performed, include certain traditional customs. Before a couple is married, they become engaged. And then invitations are sent to those who live nearby, their close friends and their relatives who live far away. When everything is ready, then comes the most exciting moment. The wedding itself usually lasts between 20 and 40 minutes. The guests enter the church first while the wedding music is played. The bride carrying flowers enters last with her father who will “give her away”. The bridegroom enters the church from a side door. (30)Then the couple will exchange their solemn promises to each other It is traditional to use the words “To have and to hold from this day forward, for better, for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health, to love and to care, till death do us part”. Following this, the couple exchange rings. Wearing the wedding ring on the fourth finger of the left hand is an old custom. After the ceremony there is often a party, called a “reception” which gives the wedding guests an opportunity to congratulate the newlywedded couple. After all the procedures, (31)the couple runs to the car under a shower of rice thrown by the wedding guests. And then the couple just go on their honeymoon.
29. What is in common for those weddings held in different locations?
A）。经过预读选项可知，本题与婚礼习俗有关。文章一开头就列举了各种不同的婚礼方式，然后用but进行转折，many weddings, no matter where they are performed, include certain traditional customs，but后面的内容即是本题的答案。本题中的B)具有干扰性，主要考查考生对读音相近的两个单词customs和costumes的辨析。
30. What will the new couple do after all the guests enter the church?
C）。分析选项可知，本题与婚礼的一个环节有关，因此听录音时一定要对婚礼进行的过程仔细辨听，最好做些记录。听音后可知，婚礼仪式的程序是：宾客入场、新娘入场、新郎入场、交换誓言、交换戒指和举行宴会。其中Then the couple will exchange their solemn promises to each other是本题的考查内容。
31. What is the custom before the couple go
