Section B
Passage One
    Getting behind the wheel of a car can be an exciting new step in a teen's life. But along with that excitement comes a new responsibility---understanding the need for common sense and maturity to avoid accidents. (26)In an effort to spread awareness to teens across the nation, the All-state Foundation sponsored a Keep-The-Drive Summit at Sunset Station on January 23rd. Students from Kennedy and Alamo Heights High schools participated in the summit, which was held here for the first time. The goal of the year-long effort is to educate teens on the rules of safe driving and the severe consequences that can result if those rules are not followed, and then have them communicate that information to their peers. The students watched videos that told them about the numbers of teenage driving injuries and deaths. They listen to the videos as students from other cities share their stories of how their reckless driving affected not only their lives but also those of their passengers. "We are trying to create awareness in high schools across the country," said Westerman, an All-state representative. "We focus on changing how teens think behind the wheel. "(27)According to the presentation, more teens die in automobile crashes in the United States each year than from drugs, violence, smoking and suicide. An average of 16 teens die every day in motor vehicle crashes and nearly forty percent of those are caused by speeding. Texas is the state with the most teen driving deaths according to the presentation. (28)Students .agreed that the statistics were amazing and made them think twice about how they drive.
  26．For what purpose did the All—state Foundation sponsor the Keep-The-Drive Summit?
B)。[聽前猜測] 四個(gè)選項(xiàng)中出現(xiàn)的young people，teenagers，driving skills，reckless driving，careless drivers等詞匯表明文章與年輕人駕車有關(guān)，四個(gè)選項(xiàng)都是不定式結(jié)構(gòu)，可以判斷本題可能會(huì)考查目的。
[精解] 文章開頭提到，開車對(duì)年輕人來說是很刺激的事情，但也意味著責(zé)任：理解常識(shí)和避免事故。為了在全國范圍內(nèi)向年輕人傳播這種意識(shí)，All-state Foundation贊助了一個(gè)稱作Keep-The-Drive Summit的會(huì)議。
    故B)為本題答案。
27．What causes the greatest number of deaths among American teens according to the presentation?
A)。[聽前猜測] 根據(jù)選項(xiàng)中accidents，violence，drug abuse，lung cancer可以判斷，本題可能考查某種行為引起的后果。
[精解] 短文中提到，與吸毒、暴力、吸煙和自殺死亡相比，更多的美國少年死于汽車事故，故本題答案為A)。
28．What can we conclude about the Keep-The-Drive Summit?
C)。[聽前猜測] 四個(gè)選項(xiàng)似乎關(guān)聯(lián)性不大，但都用了現(xiàn)在完成時(shí)，因此推測本題考查的是某件事的結(jié)果。
[精解] 文章提到學(xué)生通過看錄像等方式了解了粗心和超速駕駛的危險(xiǎn)性，并認(rèn)為這些統(tǒng)計(jì)數(shù)字讓人吃驚，能使他們?cè)隈{車時(shí)三思而后行�？梢�，這次會(huì)議實(shí)現(xiàn)了預(yù)期的目標(biāo)，故C)為答案。
Passage Two
    Dr. Allen Hersh designs smells for businesses. He says that it doesn't take a whole lot of smell to affect you. Store owners can lure you to the candy aisle, even if you don't realize your are smelling candy. This idea scares a lot of people. (29)Groups that protect the rights of shoppers are upset. They say the stores are using a kind of brainwashing which they call "smell-washing". "It's pretty dishonest," says Mark Silbergeld. He runs an organization that checks out products for consumers. The scientists hired to design the scents disagree. (30)"There's soft background music. There's special lighting. There're all sorts of bells being used," says Dr. Hersh, "why not smells?" "One reason why not," says Silbergeld, "is that some people are allergic to certain scents pumped into products or stores." But there is a whole other side to this debate, "do the smells really work?" So far, there is little proof one way or the other. (31)But Dr. Hersh has run some interesting experiments. In one of Hersh's experiments,31 volunteers were led into a shoe store that smells slightly like flowers. Later, another group shopped in the same store, but with no flower odor. (31)Dr. Hersh found that 84% of the shoppers were more likely to buy the shoes in the flower-scented room, but Hersh found out something even stranger. "Whether the volunteers like the flower scent or not didn't matter, "Hersh says, (31)"Some reported that they hated the smell, but they still were more likely to buy the shoes in the scented room."
29．Why are some people against the use of smells to attract customers?
B)。[聽前猜測] 四個(gè)選項(xiàng)有兩項(xiàng)以customers作主語，另兩項(xiàng)以it作主語，it在本題中應(yīng)為smell，故本題與customer和smell有關(guān)。
[精解] 文章一開始就說，Allen Hersh博士為企業(yè)設(shè)計(jì)味道，這一想法使許多人感到吃驚。反對(duì)者稱這是一種洗腦的方法，很不誠實(shí)。因此B)為本題答案。
30．What is Dr．Hersh's attitude to the use of smells for business?
C)。[聽前猜測] 由四個(gè)選項(xiàng)可以看出，本題考查的是某人的態(tài)度。
[精解] 文章中提到，Hersh博士說有背景音樂，有特殊的燈光，有各種鈴聲，為什么不能使用味道呢?這表明 Hersh是贊成使用味道的，因此C)為本題答案。
31．What did Hersh's experiment show?
A)。[聽前猜測] 四個(gè)選項(xiàng)的相關(guān)度不大，但都表明味道對(duì)購物造成的影響。
[精解] 文章在提到Hersh博士的實(shí)驗(yàn)時(shí)說，31個(gè)志愿者被吸引到帶有輕微花香味的商店，84%的消費(fèi)者更喜歡在有花香味的商店里買鞋。這表明花香對(duì)消費(fèi)者起到了作用。因此A)為本題答案。
