試題詳解

Section A

Conversation One

W: Mr. Pitt. I'd like you to tell me a bit about what you've been doing.

M: Well, I left senior high school after I'd done my A levels. I took four subjects, French, German, chemistry and art. I really wanted to study art. It didn't turn out like that, because a friend of my father's offered me a job. (1) It's an accountant in London. A quite big firm, you know.

W: I see. In your application, you say that you only spent nine months with this firm of accountants. Why was that?

M: Well, to be quite honest, I didn't like it. (2) I just couldn't seem to get interested in the job although there were fairly good prospects. So I got a place at the art college to do a three-year diploma course.

W: We like our executive staff to undergo a thorough training. Young men on our trainee scheme would have to work through every branch in the company. And one of them is accountancy. Presumably you wouldn't like that.

M: Well, if I had to do it, I suppose... (3) But I was thinking that my French and German would mean that I could specialize in overseas work. I'd like to be some sort of an export salesman and travel abroad.

W: You know, the glamour of traveling abroad disappears when you've got a hard job of work to do. It's not all fun and game.

M: Oh yes, I realize that. It's just that my knowledge of languages would be useful.

W: That's all, Mr. Pitt. (4) You should hear from us in a couple of weeks. One way or the other, or we may ask you to come back for another chat. Thank you.

M: Goodbye, Mrs. Williams.

Conversation Two

W: Hey, Neal, now that the midterms are over, a bunch of us are getting away for the weekend to go canoeing. Wanna come along?

W: None of the others have either, except for me. I went once last fall. But there'll be an instructor in each canoe the first day.

M: I don't know.

W: Oh, come on. This is our last chance to take a break before finals. The scenery is beautiful and (5) if it gets too hot we can dive in whenever we feel like it. The river's really calm this time of the year, no rapids to deal with.

M: That's a relief. What would I have to bring?

W: Let's see. (6) Tom's bringing food for the Friday night cookout for everyone. And the people who run the trip have tents set up and they supply food and drinks for all day Saturday. On the way back Sunday morning we'll stop somewhere for breakfast. So, you just have to bring a bathing suit and a sleeping bag.

M: I do love camping and sleeping out. Where is this place?

W: It's about an hour and a half to the place where we meet the trip leaders. We leave our car there and they drive us and the canoes upriver to the place where we start canoeing.

M: And who's driving us to the meeting place?

W: Well, (7) I was hoping we could take your car. Mine's in the shop again.

M: Oh, I see. It's not me you want; it's my car.

W: Don't be silly. So what would you say?

Section B

Passage One

We're going to start our discussion of poetry in Western Europe with The Iliad and The Odyssey. (10) These two great poems are believed to have been written sometime between 800BC and 700BC, partly because the poems refer to the social conditions of that time, conditions that have been validated by the findings of archeologists. But just who was the poet who laid down these cornerstones of western literature? Tradition ascribes them to a man named Homer, but we know virtually nothing about this Homer. In fact, some say that such a poet never existed at all, that neither The Iliad nor The Odyssey was written by a single poet, but rather each poem is composed of the writings of several people. This is the view of a school of literary critics in the 18th century known as the Analysts. The Analysts pointed to internal evidence such as variations in the literary devices used in the poem to argue that each work was in fact a collection of several poems by several Greek authors. Opposing the Analysts were a second group of scholars called the Unitarian. (11) They insisted that The Iliad and The Odyssey could have been the work of a single poetic genius. To support their argument, they stress among other things the consistency of the character portrayed in the poetry. This wouldn't have been possible, they said, if they were written by many different poets. (12) Now how we look at the Homeric question today has been greatly influenced by someone named Milman Parry, an American scholar who first presented his ideas about Homer in the 1930s. So let's take a look at Parry's research.

話題：《伊利亞特》和《奧德賽》的作者　詞數(shù)：275

答案解析

9．What is the attitude of the professor toward the topic?

D)。整篇短文都是教授在分別指出各個派別對于誰是《伊利亞特》和《奧德賽》的作者的推測，沒有摻雜自己的觀點，因此可以判定作者的敘述是客觀的，而非主觀的，更沒有同情或質(zhì)疑的情緒在其中。因此D選項符合題意。

10．When were The Iliad and The Odyssey written?

D)。短文提到，人們認為這兩部史詩寫于公元前800年至公元前700年之間。所以，D選項符合題意。

11．What is the Unitarian's point of view on the poet of The Iliad and The Odyssey?

C)。短文中提到，分析派認為《伊利亞特》和《奧德賽》都是由幾個人寫出來的詩歌組合而成的，而不是由一個人寫出來的；一位論派認為這兩部史詩很可能是同一個天才的著作。C選項符合題意，故選C。

12．Why does the professor talk about Milman Parry?

D)。短文中提到，我們現(xiàn)今如何看待荷馬問題深受一個叫米爾曼·帕里的學(xué)者的影響，他在20世紀30年代首次提出對于荷馬的觀點。因此，這也是教授談?wù)撍脑颍蔬xD。

Passage Two

Organizations like the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund expect the international economy to perform better this year than in 2013. They also expect economic conditions to improve the next year.

Yet one United Nations agency worries that (13) economic progress is not creating enough jobs for the millions of people seeking employment. The U.N.'s International Labor Organization (ILO) is saying current economic growth has not helped the world's unemployed.

The ILO released a report on employment this week. Guy Ryder of Britain is the Director General of the agency. He says the unemployment numbers for 2013 represent an increase from the year before. That means new jobs created by economy growth are not keeping up with the number of people entering the job market. "The bottom line figure for 2013 is that there are nearly 202 million people around the world unemployed, and that represents an increase of nearly five million on the previous year," said Ryder. The ILO says (14) much of the increase came from East and South Asia—they were responsible for nearly half of the additional job seekers, and many others came from sub-Saharan Africa and Europe.

One question is whether the current period of economic growth is leading to job creation. The ILO says, based on current information, the world will have 18 million more jobless individuals by 2018, many of these are young people between the ages of 15 and 24. Guy Ryder says youth unemployment is a major concern. "(15) Young people are the particular victims of unemployment: 74.5 million of the unemployed, aged between 15 and 24, that is one million more than the year before," said Ryder. The ILO says youth unemployment worldwide is over 13 percent.

話題：就業(yè)形勢　詞數(shù)：283

答案解析

13．What is the United Nations agency worried about?

C)。短文提到，某聯(lián)合國機構(gòu)擔(dān)心經(jīng)濟發(fā)展并不能為數(shù)百萬求職者創(chuàng)造足夠的就業(yè)機會。因此可以判斷C選項“經(jīng)濟發(fā)展沒有帶來足夠的新的工作機會”與短文所述一致。

14．Where is the increased world unemployment mostly from?

B)。短文提到，新增的失業(yè)人數(shù)很大一部分來自東亞和南亞，這兩個地區(qū)求職者的人數(shù)占新增求職者的總?cè)藬?shù)將近一半。所以，B選項與短文內(nèi)容相符。

15．What do we know about youth unemployment?

B)。短文提到，失業(yè)者尤以年輕人居多。因此選項B與短文內(nèi)容相符。

Section C

One

Good morning, class. Today we are going to start a big unit on government. Before the rise of the nation-state and absolute monarchies, Europe went through a period known as feudalism. Like our concept of democracy, feudalism had many forms and varied by location and time period.

Let's see, feudalism originated by mixing Roman law with Germanic tradition. The Germanic warriors that lived about 3,000 years ago had a tradition of electing a supreme warrior as leader. After battles, he would collect all of the spoils and distribute them fairly among all the warriors. (16) The term feudalism is defined by three principle terms: They are lords, vassals, and fiefs.

(17) Okay, a lord, in feudalism, is a person that owns land. He temporarily gives this land to another person, called a vassal. The vassal enters this contract so he may gain the land. Land sizes varied, from the size of a small farm, to huge counties. The vassal gained the revenues generated by the land, usually in the form of farming products.

What did the lord get? At this time, there were no standing armies. There were no professional soldiers. The vassal swore allegiance to the lord. (18) In times of trouble, the lord could call upon the vassal to fight for the lord. This guaranteed the security of the lord.

Other details were often included in feudal deals. For example, since the lord still owned the land and merely lent the land to the vassal, the lord still had to maintain the land and defend it. The vassal, many times, would be required to grind his wheat and bake his bread in the ovens and mills owned by the lord, who then could collect taxes.

Umm, oh, yes, the vassals also acted as counselors to the lord. (18) During times of crisis, the lords would often hold meetings, calling together all the vassals to help them decide major decisions, such as to go to war or not.

Ah, lastly, feudalism had many levels. What I mean is, a king could be a lord, giving aristocrats large lands, who then became his vassals. Those aristocrats were lords themselves, dividing up their land to lesser vassals. (19) The top of this hierarchy was the emperor, who was the lord to his vassal kings.

Feudalism declined when lords became strong enough to maintain a standing army and did not require the services of their vassals.

話題：封建主義　詞數(shù)：400

答案解析

16．What are the three terms that define feudalism?

A)。講座中明確提到The term feudalism is defined by three principle terms: They are lords, vassals and fiefs. 所以定義封建主義的三個關(guān)鍵詞分別是封建領(lǐng)主、封臣和封地。故選項A為答案。

17．What is a lord in feudalism?

B)。本題問的是“l(fā)ord在封建主義中指的是什么？”講座中明確提到A lord, in feudalism, is a person that owns land. 故選項B為答案。選項A和C的內(nèi)容均在聽力原文中出現(xiàn)過，但是這兩項對應(yīng)的都是vassals的職責(zé)，均排除；選項D“管理國家的人”，聽力原文中提到封建制度等級的最頂端是君主，故君主是管理國家的人。雖然君主在某種程度上也是lord，但并不是所有的lord都是君主，不能以偏概全，故排除選項D。

18．During times of crisis, what would the lords do?

B)。本題問的是“危急時刻，領(lǐng)主們會怎么做？”講座中在兩處提到了相關(guān)信息：In times of trouble, the lord could call upon the vassal to fight for the lord.和During times of crisis, the lords would often hold meetings, calling together all the vassals to help them decide major decisions. 由此可知，危急時刻，領(lǐng)主們會號召封臣來為自己而戰(zhàn)或者召集他們來幫助自己做一些重大的決定，故選項B為答案。其他選項均與原文信息不符，均排除。

19．Who is at the top of the hierarchy in feudalism?

D)。講座中明確提到The top of this hierarchy was the emperor, who was the lord to his vassal kings. 所以封建制度等級的最頂端是君主，故選項D為答案。

詞匯點撥

monarchy n. 君主制；君主國

feudalism n. 封建主義；封建制度

originate v. 創(chuàng)世；起源

warrior n. 戰(zhàn)士；勇士

Hello, everyone. Have you ever wondered what the weather is like in other places around the world? Today, (20) I'd like to talk to you about the changing seasons in my city which was the assigned topic for this class.

First of all, the winter season usually begins in December and ends in early March. The coldest month is January, and temperatures can drop below freezing for most of this month. The city usually averages about 30 inches of snow during this entire, 3-month period. Occasionally, we have snow storms that can drop a foot of snow in a very short period of time. Winter activities during this season include sledding, skiing, and snowshoeing.

Spring usually arrives in late March, and (21) the temperatures hover around 10 degrees during the day. It is a beautiful season because the flowers start to bloom. It is also sometimes windy, and this is great for flying kites. People in my city often like to go on picnics, stroll through the parks, and play outdoor games.

Next, summer starts in June, as temperatures slowly rise to around 29 degrees. The summer in my city is very dry with little rain throughout the season, and temperatures can soar above 40 degrees in August. Fortunately, the weather is very dry with low humidity, so it is pleasant even on hot days. (22) Popular activities during this season include hiking, fishing, camping, water skiing, and outdoor sports such as football and soccer.

And finally, summer changes to fall in late September when the weather cools off, and the trees begin to change colors. A lot of people enjoy driving into the mountains and viewing the fall colors. It is also a time when people clean up their yards and gardens in preparation for the winter season.

So, as you can see, my city has a lot to offer no matter when you visit this area.

話題：季節(jié)特點　詞數(shù)：315

答案解析

20．What's the topic of the talk?

A)。演講人開頭就提到I'd like to talk to you about the changing seasons in my city which was the assigned topic for this class. 由此可知談?wù)摰闹黝}是演講人所生活的城市的季節(jié)，故選項A為答案。選項B和D有一定的干擾，但它們只是用來描述這個城市不同季節(jié)的特點的，不能作為本篇演講的主題，均排除。

21．What are the temperatures during spring in the speaker's city?

C)。聽力原文中明確提到Spring usually arrives in late March, and the temperatures hover around 10 degrees during the day. 由此可知，演講人所在城市春天的溫度維持在10度左右，故選項C為答案。其他三個選項的數(shù)字在聽力原文中都有提到，A選項是該城市夏天六月份的溫度，B選項是該城市夏天八月份的溫度，D選項中的數(shù)字30是用來描述該城市冬天積雪的厚度的，均排除。

22．What do people usually do in summer in the speaker's city?

B)。聽力原文中明確提到Popular activities during this season include hiking, fishing, camping, water skiing, and outdoor sports such as football and soccer. 所以，在夏天，該城市的人們喜歡參加的活動有遠足、垂釣、露營、滑水和一些戶外運動，故選項B為答案。其他三項在聽力原文中也有提到，但是A和D選項是該城市人們在春天喜歡從事的活動，C選項是人們在秋天經(jīng)常從事的活動，均排除。

Predicting the future is always risky. But it's probably safe to say that at least a few historians will one day speak of the 20th century as America's "Disney era". (23) Today, it's certainly difficult to think of any other single thing that represents modern America as powerfully as the company that created Mickey Mouse. Globally, brands like Coca-Cola and McDonalds may be more widely-known, but neither represents 20th-century America in quite the same way as Disney.

The reasons for Disney's success are varied and numerous, but ultimately the credit belongs to one person—the man who created the cartoon and built the company from nothing, Walt Disney. Ironically, he could not draw particularly well. But he was a genius in plenty of other respects. In business, his greatest skills were his insight and his management ability. (24) But what really distinguished Disney was his ability to identify with his audiences. Disney always made sure his films championed the "little guy", and made him feel proud to be American. This was achieved by creating characters that reflected the hopes and fears of ordinary people.

Disney's another great virtue was the fact that his company—unlike other big corporations—had a human face. (25) He was also regarded as a great patriot because not only did his cartoons celebrate America, but, during World War II, studios made training films for American soldiers. The reality, of course, was less idyllic. As the public would later learn, Disney's patriotism had an unpleasant side. He agreed to work for the FBI as a mole, identifying and spying on colleagues whom he suspected.

By the time he died in 1966, Walt Disney was an icon like Thomas Edison and the Wright Brothers. To business people and filmmakers, he was a role model; to the public at large, he was "Uncle Walt"—the man who had entertained them all their lives, the man who represented them all their lives, the man who represented all that was good about America.

話題：華特·迪士尼　詞數(shù)：330

答案解析

23．What is the most powerful thing that represents modern America according to the lecture?

C)。聽力原文中明確提到Today, it's certainly difficult to think of any other single thing that represents modern America as powerfully as the company that created Mickey Mouse. 由此可知演講人認為很難找到任何能夠比創(chuàng)造了米老鼠的那家公司更能代表現(xiàn)代美國的其他東西了。而創(chuàng)造了米老鼠的這家公司就是迪士尼，故選項C為答案。

24．What makes Walt Disney really extraordinary?

C)。聽力原文中明確提到But what really distinguished Disney was his ability to identify with his audiences.由此可知真正讓迪士尼與眾不同的是他能夠與觀眾產(chǎn)生共鳴的能力，故選項C為答案。

25．Why Walt Disney was regarded as a patriot?

A)。聽力原文中明確提到He was also regarded as a great patriot because not only did his cartoons celebrate America, but, during World War II, studios made training films for American soldiers. 由此可知，迪士尼之所以被看作是偉大的愛國主義者不僅是因為他創(chuàng)作卡通來贊美美國，還因為在二戰(zhàn)期間他為美國士兵拍攝了培訓(xùn)用的影片。故選項A為答案。其他三項在聽力原文中都有提到，但并不是迪士尼被稱為愛國主義者的原因。
