　　答案解析

　　Section A(1-8)

　　1. M: Take a look at this catalogue. Maybe we can find some gifts for Jane’s new house.

　　W: Ok. But remember we can’t afford a lot.

　　Q: What does the woman mean?

　　【答案解析】B 女士說道“我們付不起太多錢”，聯(lián)系男士話語所提供的情景“find some gifts”，可以得出“不能購買太貴的禮物”這一結(jié)論，B選項是對女士話語的合理推斷，因此正確。A選項是利用對話中的gifts一詞設(shè)置的詞匯干擾。

　　2. W: I’m getting absolutely nowhere with these statistics.

　　M: How about my going through them with you?

　　Q: What does the man mean?

　　【答案解析】D 男士說道“要不我和你一起仔細檢查它們吧?”them是指女士提到的statistics，男士提出和她一起做，說明男士想要幫助女士，D選項為合理推斷，因此正確。B選項中的has prepared使用現(xiàn)在完成式，且與男士說的“go through”并不相符，因此B選項錯誤。

　　3. M: We are ready to start the recording, aren’t we? Let’s begin on Page 55.

　　W: Sorry. I am afraid I can’t begin right now. I forgot to bring my scripts.

　　Q: What do we learn from the conversation?

　　【答案解析】C 男士讓女士和自己一起錄音(Let’s begin)，女士說“我恐怕現(xiàn)在不能開始錄音”，并解釋了原因。而Let’s包含男女雙方，女士不能立即開始錄音錄，那么男士也無法開始，C選項是對話的合理推斷，因此正確。

　　4. W: Remember? Carl’s wedding is June 26.

　　M: Oh, thanks for reminding me. I thought it wasn’t to be until sometime in July.

　　Q: What are the speakers talking about?

　　【答案解析】C 女士說道“你記得Carl的婚禮是在6月26號嗎?”，June 26即為日期，后面的對話內(nèi)容都圍繞 這一信息展開。C選項為對話內(nèi)容的合理概括，因此正確。對話提到了wedding，但并沒有與Preparations 相關(guān)的信息，因此B選項錯誤。

　　5. M: Please excuse me for not attending the meeting yesterday. I’m afraid I forgot to check the schedule.

　　W: That’s all right. We have to hold the weekly meeting as scheduled and everything went well.

　　Q: What do we learn from the conversation?

　　【答案解析】B 男士提到“沒有參加會議”，女士回應(yīng)說道“我們必須如期開周例會，并且一切都進展得很順利”，由此可知男士所說的the meeting就是指the weekly meeting，即男士沒有參加周例會。B選項為對話內(nèi)容的合理推斷，因此正確。

　　6. W: I’ve just put our lunch in the oven and it won’t be ready for at least half an hour.

　　M: Mmm…it smells marvelous, but what can I have right now?

　　Q: What do we learn from the conversation?

　　【答案解析】B 女士說道“我剛把我們的午餐放到烤箱里”和“還沒準備好”，這說明他們的午餐還沒好，男士提問“我現(xiàn)在可以吃什么”，說明他已經(jīng)等不及了，現(xiàn)在就要吃飯，B選項為對話內(nèi)容的合理推斷，因此正確。

　　7. M: I got some bad news today. The store where I work is laying off staff.

　　W: Are they going to let you go?

　　Q: What does the woman want to know?

　　【答案解析】A 女士問男士“他們打算讓你離開嗎?”結(jié)合男士所提供的“l(fā)aying off staff(裁員)”這一 情景可知，女士想知道男士會不會因裁員而離開商店，即男士能否保住他的工作，A選項是對話內(nèi)容的合理推斷，因此正確。

　　8. W: John, you swim like a fish. I wish I knew how to swim.

　　M: Why not sign up for the lessons offered by the physical education department?

　　Q: What does the man mean?

　　【答案解析】A 女士說道“我真希望我知道怎么游泳”，男士回應(yīng)“sign up for the lessons”由此可以得出男士所說的lessons(課程)為游泳課。A選項為男士話語的合理推斷，因此正確。對話中提到了“swim like a fish”，但這是形容男士的游泳姿態(tài)，跟女士沒有關(guān)系，C選項為細節(jié)干擾。

　　Section C

　　Stunt people are not movie stars, but they are the hidden heroes of many movies.

　　They were around long before films. Even Shakespeare may have used them in fight scenes. To be good, a fight scene has to look real. Punches must land on enemies’jaws. Sword fights must be fought with sharp swords. Several actors are usually in a fight scene. Their moves must be set up so that no one gets hurt. It is almost like planning a dance performance.

　　If a movie scene is dangerous, stunt people usually fill in for the stars. You may think you see Tom Cruise running along the top of a train. But it is probably his stunt double. Stunt people must resemble the stars they stand in for. Their height and build should be about the same. But when close?ups are needed, the film focuses on the star.

　　Some stunt people specialize/specialise in certain kinds of scenes. For instance, a stunt woman named Jan Davis does all kinds of jumps. She has leapt from planes and even off the top of a waterfall. Each jump required careful planning and expert timing.

　　Yakima Canutt was a famous cowboy stunt man. Among other stunts, he could jump from a second story window onto a horse’s back. He invented the famous trick of sliding under a moving stagecoach. Canutt also (35) figured out a new way to make a punch look real. He was the only stunt man ever to get an Oscar.

　　26.【答案解析】land on 空格所在的簡單句中，Punches(拳)做主語，enemies’jaws(敵人的下巴)作賓語，故謂語應(yīng)該表示“擊、打、落”之意�？崭袼�填詞與情態(tài)動詞must一起構(gòu)成句子的謂語，因此空格處應(yīng)填動詞(詞組)原形。

　　27.【答案解析】sharp 空格位于介詞with和名詞swords之間，故空格處應(yīng)為swords的定語，可以是形容詞、名詞、現(xiàn)在分詞和過去分詞等形式。

　　28.【答案解析】fill in for If引導條件狀語從句，空格位于其主句中。分析可知，主句缺少謂語。而主句主語stunt people形單意復按復數(shù)對待，且usually是一般現(xiàn)在時的提示詞，故空格處應(yīng)填入動詞(詞組)原形。

　　29.【答案解析】probably 空格所在句結(jié)構(gòu)完整，故空格處作狀語，修飾系動詞is。根據(jù)空格所在位置判斷應(yīng)填入一個副詞或介詞短語。

　　30.【答案解析】resemble 空格所在句是一個主從復合句。主句中，Stunt people(特技演員)作主語，the stars(明星)作賓語，空格處與情態(tài)動詞must一起構(gòu)成主句的謂語，因此空格處應(yīng)填動詞(詞組)原形。

　　31.【答案解析】focuses on 空格所在句是一個主從復合句，空格所在的主句缺少謂語。而主句主語the film為單數(shù)，且整個段落以一般現(xiàn)在時為基礎(chǔ)，故空格處應(yīng)填入動詞(詞組)的第三人稱單數(shù)形式。

　　32.【答案解析】specialize/specialise 分析句子結(jié)構(gòu)可知，空格所在句缺少謂語。結(jié)合主語people和全文時態(tài)可知，應(yīng)填入動詞(詞組)原形。

　　33.【答案解析】timing 空格所在句中，主語為Each jump，謂語動詞為required，and連接兩個并列短語作required的賓語，即careful planning與expert。由此推斷空格處可能與planning形式相同，應(yīng)填入名詞(詞組)。

　　34. 【答案解析】invented 空格所在句為簡單句，缺少謂語。結(jié)合上下文，本段在介紹特技演員Yakima Canutt，且段落以一般過去時為基礎(chǔ)，故空格處應(yīng)填入動詞(詞組)的過去式。

　　35.【答案解析】figured out 分析句子結(jié)構(gòu)可知，空格所在的簡單句缺少謂語。結(jié)合空前的also可知，這里描述的動作與34題在時態(tài)上應(yīng)該相同，故空格處應(yīng)填入動詞(詞組)的過去式。
