M: I should wait until then, but I simply can't.
Q: What can be inferred about the woman?

W: Oh, yes, we had a wallet brought in this morning. Wait here just a minute, please.
Q: What will the woman probably do?

we are told to let in fresh air by opening the windows and not to use air-conditioners.

解析：[听力原文]
M: You look quite different from what you used to.

pounds. And that's the only thing I did not give up halfway.
Q: What do we know about the woman?

解析：[听力原文]
M: I wonder if you find my experience relevant to the job.

Q: What does the woman imply?

this year. You might as well go to the East wing first to take a look at the Chinese booth.

Q: What can we infer from the conversation?

（分数：28.00）
conditions improve with time spent watching healthy programs.
videos can cure most people of chronic heart attacks.
s of having heart attacks reduce with those amused daily. √
patients can't survive once they suffer from a second heart attack.
解析：[听力原文] 19-22
W: We've all heard the saying Laughter is the best medicine. How important is it to our health,
Dr. Berk?
M: This saying has been scientifically proven! [19] A year-long study of heart attack victims
done at the Oakhurst Health Research Institute in California found that of those patients who
spent half an hour a day watching comedy videos, 10 percent had a second heart attack, whereas
30 percent of those who did not watch had a second attack.
W: Wow! [20] Laughter is really a good medicine to patients. Can you give us another example?
M: Sure! Norman Cousins, editor of the Saturday Review, learned this during a battle with an illness.
He discovered that his condition improved when he enjoyed himself and watched funny movies.
W: You said Norman learned this? Do we have to learn to laugh?
M: Not necessarily. Since laughing is something people can do sitting down, costs no money, and
requires no special exercise equipment or skill, it's the perfect workout for anyone who doesn't
have the time or desire to participate in a regular [21] fitness program.
W: Oh. [21] Do you have such a program to offer to the general public?
M: [21] Yes, we do. It's called the Smile Time-Out. You take a deep breath, smile, exhale, and
say “Aaah” while visualizing all your muscles and cells smiling. Then add to that a memory of
a time you felt really good and laughed and laughed. W: What about the situation in which you aren't in a mood to laugh?
M: [22] Even when you fake a smile or laugh, you get the same physiological benefits as when it's
the real thing, because your mind is smart, but your body is stupid and can't tell the difference!
19. What did the year-long study of heart attack victims find?
[解析] 从选项可以看出问题与heart attack 有关，听到相关话题时注意后面的数据反映的事实：每天看半小时喜剧的心脏病患者中只有10%再次发作，而不看的人中有30%再次发作，因此可以推断，每天都开心的人心脏病发作率降低，即C。A 中的healthy programs太笼统，且对话中并未提及健康状况随着看有益于健康的节目的时间增长而改善的信息。
ng is a learned behavior.
ng is a good medicine to patients. √
ng is easier than battling with an illness.
ng is something people can do without effort.
解析：[听力原文]
What is Norman's example meant to prove?
[解析] 对话中提到Laughter is really a good medicine to patients.之后，举了Norman 作为例子，故答案为B。
A.A fitness program offered to the general public. √
B.A physical exercise to build up muscles.
C.A program that makes people keep laughing.
D.A situation where you have no mood to smile.
解析：[听力原文]
What is the so-called Smile Time-Out?
[解析] 对话先提到fitness program，然后女士问“有没有such a program”，男士说“有，叫做Smile
Time-Out”，故选A。
'd better smile or laugh from the bottom of your heart.
can't fool your body by pretending to be happy.
C.A smart mind can't tell the difference between a fake one and a real one.
a fake one can benefit people physiologically just as well as a real one. √
解析：[听力原文]
What can we learn about smile or laugh according to Dr. Berk?
[解析] 选项与真笑假笑有关，D 是最后一句的同义表达。选项C 与原文意思相悖。
（分数：21.00）

is missing the fight pan to cook the pizza.
is using the directions for a different food.
is mixing up all the ingredients at hand.
解析：[听力原文] 23-25
M: Time to eat!
W: Coming. Oh, I'm starving. Oh yuck! What's that? M: Ah, now don't complain!
W: But what is it, and where is mom?
M: Now, mom put me in charge of dinner because she's not feeling well tonight.
W: But what and that smell!
M: It's pizza. [23] I just followed an old family recipe here,
W: Let me Oh, Dad. [23] You're missing a page!
M: Oh, uh, well, uh... well I couldn't find the second page of the recipe, but don't worry. I
have plenty of experience around the house. Plenty of experience in cooking.
W: That's not what mom says.
M: Well, wait, wait, [24] here, let me try a piece first. Here, let me cool this off here. Oh,
yeah. Oh, this is great stuff.
W: Yeah right. [24] Why are you making faces?
M: Well, well, it's just, just a little rich for me. That's all.
W: Let me try it, dad. Uh, dad. You put a little too much salt in it and besides it's burned.
And what's that?
M: Oh, well, well, that's just part of my own adaptation to the recipe. I added some pumpkin.
W: Oh, not another one of your surprises. Pumpkin doesn't go on pizza!
M: Well, okay, well, so what? Uh, what do we do now?
W: Well, [25] how about some You can't mess up on that, Dad.
M: Oh, I love cereal.
23. What problem does the girl notice about her father's cooking?
[解析] 男士说自己是按照一个老食谱做pizza 的，但女孩说“你漏了一页”，说明他的食谱不完整，故答案为A。
tells her honestly what he thinks about it.
can tell by his non-verbal expressions. √
throws it away after making it.
finds he doesn't touch it at all.
解析：[听力原文]
How does the girl know her father doesn't like the pizza he prepared?
[解析] 男士自告奋勇品尝了一块pizza，女孩问“你为什么做鬼脸？”说明她从男士的面部表情（即非语言表达）中得知他不喜欢他自己做的pizza。此题关键在于听懂习惯表达make faces“扮鬼脸”。
decide to go out to eat.
eat something different at home. √
eat at friend's house.
eat pumpkins as dessert.
解析：[听力原文]
What do they end up doing for their supper?
[解析] 最后女孩建议喝点冷的麦片粥，男士欣然应允，可知他们放弃了pizza，而吃了别的，即B。

三、Passage One(总题数：1，分数：21.00)
（分数：21.00）
set up the first university in America.
was one of the earliest settlers in America.
can best represent the spirit of early America. √
was the most distinguished diplomat in American history.
解析：[听力原文] 26-28
[26] Few people can stand for the spirit of earlier America as much as Benjamin Franklin. He lived
through almost the whole of the 18th century. He was born six years after the century began and
died ten years before it ended. During this time he saw the American colonies grow from tiny
settlements into a nation and he also contributed much to the new state. He was deeply interested
in science and natural history and his experiments with the electricity and lightning led directly
to the invention of the lightning rod. He was also interested in improving the conditions of his
fellow men. He was involved in a number of projects in his native Philadelphia, including the
setting up of a library, and a university, a philosophical society and a fire-prevention service.
He worked hard to enable American colonies to gain independence from Britain. [27] As Ambassador
to France, he encouraged the French to help George Washington. After the war, he attended the
American Constitutional Congress. This was his last contribution, for he died later that year.
[28] He is still fondly remembered by Americans as one of the creators of the United States.
26. What did the speaker say about Benjamin Franklin?
[解析] 正确理解短文开头是做题的关键，“很少有人能像富兰克林那样代表早期的美国精神”，是一种表示最高级的方式，所以答案为C。其他三项都歪曲了原文的意思。
provided Washington with a lot of money.
persuaded France to support Washington. √
served as a general in Washington's army.
represented Washington in negotiations with Britain.
解析：[听力原文]
How did Franklin help George Washington?
[解析] 根据“在他担任驻法大使时，鼓励法国人帮助华盛顿”，判断答案为B。
one of the greatest American scholars.
one of America's most ingenious inventors.
one of the founding fathers of the United States. √
one of the most famous activists for human rights.
解析：[听力原文]
According to the passage, what is Franklin still well remembered as?
[解析] 根据“美国人都把他作为美国的缔造者之一铭记在心”，判断答案为C。
四、Passage Two(总题数：1，分数：28.00)
（分数：28.00）
e we might be offered a dish of insects. √
e nothing but freshly cooked insects are served.
e some yuppies like to horrify guests with insects as food.
e we might meet many successful executives in the media industry.
解析：[听力原文] 29-32
Yuppies are young people who earn a lot of money and live in a style that is too expensive for
most people. If you are invited to a yuppie dinner party, [29] don't be surprised if you are offered
freshly cooked insects as the first course. While the idea of eating fried insects fills most
of us with horror, insect-eating is becoming highly fashionable. For example, in the media industry,
successful executives are often seen to eat fried or boiled insects from time to time while working
at their desks. [30] These safe-to-eat insects can be found and ordered on the Internet. And young
people are logging on to exotic food websites and ordering samples of prepared insects to serve
at their dinner parties. Although the idea of eating insects is probably disgusting to most of
us, few people would claim that pigs, chickens and some kinds of seafood we often eat are examples
of great beauty. One day, insects could be marketed and sold as a food item in supermarkets.
According to their fans, [31] they are not only high in protein and low in fat but also very tasty.
[32] But until our attitudes to food change fundamentally, it seems that insect-eaters will remain
a select few.
29. Why does the speaker say we might be surprised at the yuppie dinner party?
[解析] 录音提到，若第一道菜是刚烹制的昆虫，你不要感到惊讶。故选A。
yuppie clubs.
the seafood market.
the supermarket.
the Internet. √
解析：[听力原文]
Where can people order the unusual food mentioned by the speaker?
[解析] 根据“这些吃起来很安全的昆虫能从网上找到和订购”，选D。
's easy to prepare.
's tasty and healthful. √
's exotic in appearance.
's safe to eat.
解析：[听力原文]
Why are some yuppies attracted by the unusual food?
[解析] 根据“据爱吃昆虫的人所说，昆虫不仅高蛋白低脂肪，而且很美味”，可以知道人们爱吃昆虫的原因是出于好吃和健康，所以选B。
will be consumed by more and more young people.
will become the first course at dinner parties.
will have to be changed to suit local tastes. is unlikely to be enjoyed by most people. √
解析：[听力原文]
What does the speaker say about the future of this type of unusual food?
[解析] 录音提到，但除非我们对食物的观念有了根本的改变，否则仍然只有少数人会吃昆虫。由此可判断人们不太可能接受吃昆虫，故选D。
五、Passage Three(总题数：1，分数：21.00)
（分数：21.00）
business hours are limited. √
safety measures are inadequate.
banking procedures are complicated.
don't have enough service windows.
解析：[听力原文] 33-35
Many people dislike walking into the bank, standing in long lines and running out of checks. [33]
They are dissatisfied with their bank's limited hours, too. They want to do some banking at night
and on weekends. For such people their problems may soon be over. Before long, they may be able
to do their banking from the comfort of their own home, any hour of the day, any day of the week.
Many banks are preparing online branches or Internet offices, which means that people will be
able to take care of much of their banking business through their home computers. This process
is called interactive banking. At gaze online branches, customers will be able to view all their
accounts, move money between their accounts, apply for a loan, and get current information on
products such as credit cards. Customers will also be able to pay their bills electronically and
even email questions to the bank. Banks are creating online services for several reasons. [35]
One reason is that banks must compete for customers, who will switch to another bank if they are
dissatisfied with the service they receive. [34] The convenience of online banking appeals to
the kind of customer banks most want to keep, that is, people who are young, well-educated and
have good incomes. Banks also want to take advantage of modern technology since they have moved
into the 21st century.
33. What is one of the reasons for people's dissatisfaction with traditional banks?
[解析] 根据“他们对银行有限的营业时间不满意”，故选A。
who are in the habit of switching from one bank to another.
people who are fond of modem technology.
people who are wealthy and well-educated. √
who have computers at home.
解析：[听力原文]
What kind of customer does online banking most appeal to?
[解析] 根据“网上银行的方便吸引银行最想留住的那类客户，即那些受过良好教育、高收入的年轻人”，故选C。
compete for customers. √ reduce the size of their staff.
provide services for distant clients.
expand their operations at a lower cost.
解析：[听力原文]
Why do banks create online services according to the passage?
[解析] 根据“一个原因是银行必须竞相争夺客户……”，故选A。
