O Give approval for her group to move a piano to a different room
O Help her rerve a rehearsal space on campus
答案：D
解析：主旨题，由于她们现在的Lincoln Auditorium装修，特别吵，无法排练。所以他们要求换地方，而不是该计划。
原文如下：We just need a quiet space. And it has to have a piano.

O There is no piano in the auditorium
O The auditorium has been booked by the jazz enmble

O She believes they may have deceived her
O She would like to work together with them on a project
O She admires the way they solved their acoustical problems.

原文如下：I don’t know. I just wonder if the jazz enmble knew what was going to happen.
虚拟语气！其它选项原文根本没提过。
5. What does the woman imply when she says this
O She will give the man the answers to his questions at another time,
O She is sorry that she cannot change the rehearsal time,
O She wishes that she could explain the problem more clearly
O She believes the man already knows the answers to his own questions
答案：D
解析：由于她们原来的时间是三点，如果男老师改到提前和提早，可能有人有事来不了，所以这么说就是不能太换时间。
原文如下：Manager: How flexible can you be on times? You said no evenings, but what ill(if) can’t find something open at 3 o’clock? Can you move earlier or later? Student:I wish I could say another time would be okay,but you know how it is, everybody’s already got commitments for the whole mester 2:30 or 3:30 would probably be okay, but I don’t think we could go much outside that.
A,C明显不对，D有点迷惑，但是男老师怎么肯定会知道答案呢？也是要交流的，D的语气太肯定了。B对应虚拟语气，也就是不能换时间。
TPO16-L2 Geology
6. What is the main purpo of the lecture?
O To explain the various ways that sulfuric acid is involved in the formation of caves
O To describe caves and other geologic formations in U.S. national parks天官赐福语录
O To u Lechugmlla Cave as an example of how most caves form
O To discuss the formation and characteristics of an unusual type of cave
答案：D
解析：第一题上来是主旨题，本文主要讲的是Lechugmlla Cave的形成与特点，A是硫酸参与山洞形成的不同方式，太片面；B的介绍国家公园的山洞和其他地形，范围太广；C的把LC当做一个例子，介绍大多数山洞的形成，而首先LC是很特殊的，是少数而非大多数的例子，其次虽然介绍了由水冲击的山洞的形成，不是文章的main idea。充斥于全文呀，就不举句子了。
7. The professor mentions parts of the process involved in the formation of Lechuguilla Cave. Indicate which of the statements below describe part of the process回味无穷的意思
Click in the correct box for each phra
Yes No Gypsum residue accumulated to form decorative structures
Gas generated by bacteria reacted with gypsum deposits
有关新年的画Hydrogen sulfide gas mixed with underground water.
Acid dissolved parts of the limestone
Bacteria fed on underground oil
Flowing surface water enlarged the cracks in the limestone
答案：ABAAAB
解析：过程细节题，当文章中出现一系列的动作过程描述，还是尽量弄明白是怎么回事。原文如下：Bacteria feed on this oil and relea hydrogen sulfide gas. This gas is hydrogen sulfide, ris up and mixes with oxygen i n the underground water that sits in the cracks and fissures in the limestone. Sulfuric acid eats away at limestone very aggressively. So you get bigger cracks.第一个选项：There’s such variety there like nothing anywhere el in the world, some of them are elaborate looking,like decorations. And a lot of them are made of gypsum and could be up to 20 feet long. It’s pretty impressive.
后五个基本是连续动作，比较好选，但是第一个选项竟然是出现在结尾，坚持不住还真是容易被ETS坑了。
8. According to the professor, what substance found in surface water is important for the formation of typical limestone caves?
O Gypsum
O Oxygen
O Carbonic acid
O Sulfuric acid
答案：C
解析：细节题，典型的是碳酸腐蚀的，与硫酸形成对比。
原文如下：Also, in surface water, there is a weak acid, carbonic acid, not sulfuric acid but carbonic acid that helps dissolve the rock.
9. What does the prence of gypsum in Lechuguilla Cave indicate?
O The cave was not formed by flowing water
O The cave is no longer forming
O Bacteria are prent in high concentrations inside the cave,
O No type of acid was involved in the formation of the cave
答案：A
解析：算是举例子目的题，那就是往前或往后听观点句子了。
原文如下：This is part of what led us to the realization that Lechuguilla is in that small group of waterless caves.
柒加尚品B,C,D都没在最后说。
10. What can be inferred from the fact that Lechuguilla Cave is no longer forming?
O The cave has stopped attracting visitors
O The cave no longer contains any limestone
O The air in the cave is safer to breathe now than it was in the past
O Gypsum deposits inside the cave are growing thicker.
答案：C
解析：推断题，那就意味着文章没有原句对应，需要我们根据听的信息的关系进行推测，而文章说L洞现在不在形成了，但是没有例子说怎么显示不形成了，而是介绍了一个还在形成的墨西哥的洞，那里面的气味很难闻，对比之下，那L的气味就应该是更安全了。
原文如下：It’s not really forming any more. But, there is other ones like it, for example, in Mexico,that are forming. And when cave rearchers go to explore them, they e and smell, the sulfuric acid and w, something el, think of rotten eggs.
11. What does the professor mean when he says this:
O Lechuguilla Cave is not completely abnt of water
O Lechuguilla Cave is not totally safe to explore.
O Water long ago flowed through Lechuguilla Cave
O Scientists do not agree about how Lechuguilla Cave was formed
答案：A
解析：只是说L洞是有死水没有活水，所以还是有水的。
原文如下：Dry as a bone. Well, that might be a bit of an exaggeration. But it’s safe to say that it’s sulfuric acid and not moving water that formed Lechuguilla cave and tho few other ones like it. In fact, there is no evidence that flowing water has even gone in or out of the cave.
TPO16-L3 Music History
12. What is the lecture mainly about?
O Professional pianists of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries
O The influence of the piano on music and society欧派橱柜怎么样
O A comparison of the piano and harpsichord
O A comparison of musical styles before and after the invention of the piano
答案：B
解析：第一题又是全文主旨题，那就抓文章最重要的内容观点，还有比作者直接说I think 更明确的了
吗？
原文如下：But I think if I were asked to identify a single crucial development in European music of this time, it would be the invention of the piano, which, interestingly enough also had a significant effect on European society of that time.
13. What does the professor mention as influences on musical styles before the invention of the piano?
O The preferences of particular patrons
O The low numbers of available instruments
O Increas in the number of music schools
O Reductions in the costs of producing instruments
答案：A
解析：细节题了，好在是在开头，其实我觉得还蛮难的，文章是说上层社会对某种乐器有偏
好，音乐学家为了糊口也就只能演奏这种，而后引出钢琴。
原文如下：W e’ve been talking about the developme nt of musical styles and genres within the relatively narrow social context of its patronage by the upper class. Compors, after all, had to earn a living and tho who were employed in the rvices of a specific patron, well, I don’t have to spell it out for you, the likes and dislikes of that patron, this would’ve had an effect on what was being compod and performed.
14. Why does the professor describe how a piano works?
O To explain why pianos are easy to play
O To explain why pianos are expensive to construct
O To explain why pianos are not classified as string instruments
O To explain why pianos do not require frequent tuning
答案：C
解析：细节主旨题，那就找这一小层的中心吧，不是在前就是在后，通常很明确的说出。原文如下：This striking action is why the piano is a percussion instrument instead of a string instrument.
15. According to the professor, why did the piano become more popular than the harpsichord?
O Piano music was easier to compo than harpsichord music
O Piano music was better for accompanying the popular new dances of the 1700s
O The piano had a more attractive size and shape than the harpsichord,
O The piano could express a wider range of emotions than the harpsichord
答案：D
挫折的拼音解析：细节比较目的题，话说文章中出现比较的关系，也基本上是重点了，上原文吧。
原文如下：Well, the percussive effect of tho little hammers means that the pianist, unlike the harpsichordist, can control the dynamics of the sound - how softly or loudly each note is struck, hence the name, pianoforte, soft and loud. Now artistically for both compors and performers this was a major turning point. This brand new instrument, capable of producing loud and soft tones, greatly expanded the possibilities for conveying emotion.
16. Why does the professor discuss Clara Schumann?
O She influenced the design of the modern piano
O She grew up in an environment that encouraged female musicians
O Her musical talents were inherited from her parents
O Her background and Robert Schumann’s background were similar
答案：B
解析：细节举例目的题，依旧往前或往后找结论性的话。说她是女性杰出钢琴家的代表之一。原文如下：Clara grew up to become a well-known and respected piano virtuoso, a performer of extraordina
ry skill who not only gave concerts across Europe, but also was one of the first important female compors for the instrument.
17. What does the professor imply when he says this:
O He will not write a term on the blackboard

O The students can easily guess what he means
答案：D
解析：隐藏含义题，排除吧，不需要拼出不是不要在黑板上写出，记笔记和阅读中有描述都没提，自
然选D了。
原文如下：Compors, after all, had to earn a living and tho who were employed in the rvices of a specific patron, well, I don’t have to spell it out for you, the likes and dislikes of that patron, this would’ve had an effect on what was being compod and performed.
