　　答案解析

　　Section A(1-8)

　　1. W:Tom, would you be interested in serving on the membership committee this year?

　　M:Can I go back to you on that in a few days?

　　Q:What does the man mean?

　　【答案解析】C 對話中女士問男士今年是否愿意在會員資格審查處任職，男士回答說“我過幾天給你回復(fù)可以嗎?”由此可知男士對于serving on the committee一事，自己不能馬上做決定，要考慮幾天。C選項(xiàng)推斷合理，因此正確。

　　2. W:We should buy a good guide book and study it before our trip to Vancouver.

　　M:We could. But they are overpriced. What about the library?

　　Q:What does the man mean?

　　【答案解析】B 對話中女士說道，他們在去溫哥華旅行前應(yīng)該買一本好的旅游指南，男士回應(yīng)說“旅行指南太貴了，不如去圖書館看看”。很顯然，與花錢買guide books相比，男士傾向于到圖書館借閱。B選項(xiàng)是對男士話語的合理推斷，因此正確。

　　3. W:You took a history course this term, didn’t you? What can you say about it?

　　M:Well,the trouble is that I never get through the weekly reading list, though some books are quite interesting.

　　Q:What does the man mean?

　　【答案解析】C 當(dāng)女士詢問男士上歷史課的感受時(shí)，男士說道“麻煩的是每周閱讀書目上的書我從沒讀完過，盡管一些書很有趣”。C選項(xiàng)是對話內(nèi)容的同義轉(zhuǎn)述，因此正確。

　　4. M:I’m taking my girlfriend to the fancy new restaurant for her birthday tonight.

　　W:I went there last weekend.I found it rather disappointing.

　　Q: What does the woman mean?

　　【答案解析】A 對話中男士說他今晚帶女友去那家新開的餐廳慶生，女士則說“我覺得那家餐廳非常令人失望”，句中it是指the new restaurant。而女士之所以這樣告知男士，是希望他換一家餐廳。A選項(xiàng)推斷合理，因此正確。

　　5. W:Winter is over at last. Time to put away my gloves and boots.

　　M:I’ve been waiting for this for months.

　　Q:What does the man mean?

　　【答案解析】A 對話中女士說道，冬天結(jié)束了，是時(shí)候把手套和靴子收起來了。男士回應(yīng)“我這幾個(gè)月一直都在等待這一刻(this)的到來”。男士口中的this為冬天終于結(jié)束了。冬天過了就是春天，男士等待冬天的結(jié)束就是盼望春天的到來，因此A選項(xiàng)正確。

　　6. M:Look!The curtain is going up slowly and all the lights over the stage are lit up.

　　W:Yeah, the play is starting. Oh, something caught my sleeve. Give me a hand please, Bob.

　　Q:Where are the speakers now?

　　【答案解析】D 對話中男士說到“幕布正在慢慢升起”和“舞臺所有的燈都亮了”，女士說道了“演出要開始了”，由curtain(幕布)、light(燈)和the play(戲劇)可以判斷對話者在劇院里，因此D選項(xiàng)正確。

　　7. W:You only have water to serve your guests?

　　M: This isn’t just plain water. This is mineral water from Tibet.

　　Q: What does the man imply?

　　【答案解析】B 對話中女士提出只用白開水待客的質(zhì)問，男士以“這可不是一般的水，而是來自西藏的礦泉水”回應(yīng)。“不是一般的水”，即水很特別，B選項(xiàng)是對男士回答的合理理解，因此正確。

　　8. W: When do you have time to discuss our environmental report? I think we will have to make some revisions.

　　M: I’ll be free at 3 o’clock this afternoon. But what exactly needs to be changed?

　　Q: What are the speakers going to do this afternoon?

　　【答案解析】D 對話中女士詢問男士何時(shí)有時(shí)間來討論環(huán)境報(bào)告，并認(rèn)為其還需要修改(make some revisions)。而男士也以“我下午三點(diǎn)有空”回應(yīng)。由此可知，男士接受了女士的提議，并決定在下午與女士discuss并make some revisions，因此D選項(xiàng)正確。

　　Section C

　　Perhaps because going to college is so much a part of the American dream, many people go for no particular reason. Some go because their parents expect it, others because it’s what their friends are doing. Then, there’s the belief that a college degree will automatically ensure a good job and high pay.

　　Some students drift through four years, attending classes, or skipping them as the case may be, reading only what can’t be avoided, looking for less demanding courses, and never being touched or changed in any important way. For a few of these people, college provides no satisfaction, yet because of parental or peer pressure, they cannot voluntarily leave. They stop trying in the hope that their teachers will make the decision for them by failing them.

　　To put it bluntly, unless you’re willing to make your college years count, you might be better off doing something else. Not everyone should attend college, nor should everyone who does attend begin right after high school. Many college students profit from taking a year or so off. A year out in the world helps some people to sort out their priorities and goals. If you’re really going to get something out of going to college, you have to make it mean something, and to do that you must have some idea why you’re there, what you hope to get out of it, and probably even what you hope to become.

　　26.【答案解析】particular 空格所在句主干完整。由空格前的no和空格后的reason推測，本空需要填入名詞、形容詞或分詞，修飾reason。because 引導(dǎo)的原因狀語指出“可能上大學(xué)是美國夢非常重要的一部分”，由此推斷，本句很可能表示很多人上大學(xué)并沒有“特別的，特殊的(particular)”原因。

　　27.【答案解析】automatically 由空格前的情態(tài)動詞will和空格后的謂語動詞ensure可知，空格處應(yīng)該填一個(gè)副詞或介詞短語，作狀語。本句是對前面2句的總結(jié)，說明“大學(xué)文憑”與“好工作高收入”之間的一種聯(lián)系。

　　28.【答案解析】drif 空格所在句一個(gè)簡單句。分析可知，句子的主語是Some students，現(xiàn)在分詞短語attending…, skipping…，reading…，looking…和being…均作伴隨狀語，而本空位于該句的謂語部分。此外，由于文章的主時(shí)態(tài)是一般現(xiàn)在時(shí)，主語Some students是復(fù)數(shù)，可以猜測此處應(yīng)填入動詞(詞組)的原形。

　　29.【答案解析】demanding 結(jié)合28題的答案預(yù)測部分可知，空格所在處是其中的一個(gè)伴隨狀語，由空前的less和空后的名詞courses可以推測，本空可能需要填入一個(gè)多音節(jié)的形容詞，修飾courses。

　　30.【答案解析】satisfaction 空格所在句是一個(gè)由yet連接的并列句，本空位于分句一中。分句一的主語為college，謂語為provides，而no和空格處組成本句的賓語。由空前的no和空后的逗號可知，空格處應(yīng)填入名詞性質(zhì)的詞(組)。

　　31.【答案解析】failing 空格位于that引導(dǎo)的同位語從句中。從句的主干結(jié)構(gòu)完整，主語為their teachers，謂語為will make，賓語為the decision，by them為方式狀語。由空格前的介詞by與空格后的人稱代詞them推知，此處可能會填入動名詞(詞組)。

　　32.【答案解析】better off 空格所在句是一個(gè)復(fù)合句，其中的To put it bluntly是插入語，unless引導(dǎo)條件狀語從句，而空格位于主句中。分析后可知，主句的結(jié)構(gòu)完整，鑒于空格正好位于be和doing之間，所填詞可以是形容詞(短語)、副詞(短語)等形式。

　　33.【答案解析】profit from 空格所在句是一個(gè)簡單句，分析可知，本句缺少謂語。鑒于主語Many college students為復(fù)數(shù)形式，且全文時(shí)態(tài)為一般現(xiàn)在時(shí)，本空應(yīng)填動詞(詞組)原形。此外，由空格后的taking可知，所填詞應(yīng)為及物動詞或“不及物動詞+介詞”的形式。

　　34.【答案解析】sort out 空格所在句是一個(gè)簡單句，主語為A year out in the world，謂語為helps，賓語為some people。鑒于“help sb. (to) do sth.”這一固定用法，空格處應(yīng)填入動詞(詞組)原形，與to和their priorities and goals共同作賓語some people的補(bǔ)足語。

　　35.【答案解析】probably 空格所在句是一個(gè)由and連接的并列句，空格位于分句二中。在分句二中，主語為you，謂語為must have，賓語為some idea，to do that作目的狀語，why和兩個(gè)what引導(dǎo)的從句均為idea的同位語，而本空位于what引導(dǎo)的同位語從句中。該從句主干結(jié)構(gòu)完整，空格處作該句的狀語。其形式可以是副詞(短語)、介詞短語、動詞不定式(短語)、分詞(短語)等。
