Freshmen’s Week 雷雨天Britain has a [1]well-respected [2]higher education system /and some of the top universities and rearch institutions in the world. /But to tho who are new to [3]this system, /it can sometimes be confusing. October is usually the busiest month in the [4]academic calendar. /Universities have something called [5]Freshmen’s Week for their newcomers.马票 /It’s a great opportunity to make new friends, /join lots of clubs and [6]ttle into university life. However, having just left the comfort of home and all your friends behind, /the prospect of meeting strangers in classrooms and dormitories can be worrying. / Where do you start? /And who should you make friends with? /Which clubs and [7]societies should you [8]join? Luckily, there will be thousands of others 西方81[9]in the same boat as you. /They worry about starting their university social life [10]on the right foot. /So just [11]take it all in slowly. /Don’t rush into anything that you’ll regret for the next three years. | 【听写提示】 第一遍听音时掌握短文主题，记下关键词education system，universities，Freshmen’s Week等，这样便于把握一系列与主题相关的词和词组，如academic calendar，university life，dormitories，clubs，societies。 [1]well-respected是由“副词+动词的过去分词”构成的复合形容词，类似的词有well-known，well-established等，注意不要漏写中间的连字符。 [2]按照英语习惯，“高等教育”一般用higher education来表达，正如“高等数学”要用higher mathematics来表达一样。因此higher不能写成原级。 [3]因为this词尾与system词首都发/s/音，故this的/s/音省略不发。考生容易将this误写成the。 [4]academic calendar之间不完全爆破，calendar的拼写较有难度，考生可根据读音进行推断。 [5]Freshmen’s Week属于专有名词，首字母需大写，第一个单词用的是复数名词的所有格形式。 [6] ttle into university life意为“在校园里安顿下来，习惯于大学生活”，注意此处ttle后接介词into。 [7]societies在此与clubs并列，意思是“社团”，是可数名词，因clubs采用复数，根据逻辑societies也要用复数形式。 [8]join作“参加，成为…的成员”讲时是及物动词，后面没有in。 饼[9](be)in the same boat为固定搭配，意为“处于同样（常指不幸的）境地”。 [10]on the right foot意思是“有一个顺利的开始；处于有利地位”，最后一个/t/音发音很轻。 [11]注意这几个词之间的连读。 |
【听前预测】由题干和选项中的travelers，flight details，tour，price，travel insurance可以推测，该对话与旅行安排有关，可能涉及游客向旅行社询问乘飞机去旅游的具体安排情况。听音时注意旅游细节安排的电话核实、有关的费用说明，以及关于travel insurance的询问。 | |
【听力原文】 W: Ok, so let’s go through the travel details again. [1]Two adults. Eight days in Britain from April 26 to May 3. Flying from Beijing to London and back with Air China. And you’re in a double room. M: Yes, that’s right. Um…do you know what the flight times are? W: The outward flight from Beijing is, er…let me e. Yes, 10:30…in the morning. And the return is…I think, it’s early evening…yes…7:15. Fifteen past ven in the evening. Local time, that is. M: Right, that’s fine. Oh…sorry. I can’t remember [2]what el you include in the price apart from the air tickets. Is it all meals or just breakfast? W: [2]Yes, it’s full board…so all meals…and transport from the airport to your hotel…everything’s included. M: Good. W: Now, can you tell me if you need travel insurance? M: [3]Yes, yes, we do. W: Ok, well, that’s an extra 300 Yuan each. Is that OK? M: [3]Well, there is no choice, is there? I mean, we have to have it, don’t we? W: Yes, I’m afraid so. M: [3]Well, all right then. | 【答案解析】 1. The following details have been checked during the conversation EXCEPT 【解析】选[D]。录音一开始，就是一位女士在核对旅行详情，然后提到Two adults. Eight days in Britain…Flying from Beijing to London…And you’re in a double room.这里的Two与Eight分别对应[A]与[B]，“从北京飞往伦敦再飞回北京”显然是飞行细节，故[C]也排除，答案选[D]，对话只提到双人房间（double room），并未提及客房服务（room rvices.）， 2. What is included in the price? 【解析】选[D]。男士不记得报价里除了包含机票费用还包括其他什么费用，一日三餐还是只是早餐？”女士回答说该价格包含所有的餐费和从机场到宾馆的交通费用，答案很明显是[D]。 【点睛】听音前分析四个选项，air tickets与local transport几乎每个选项都有，因此，本题的听音重点在于捕捉价格中包括不包括一日三餐。 3. Which of the following statements is CORRECT? 【解析】选[B]。当男士被问及是否需要旅游保险时，他表示肯定。虽然之后在得知需要再交钱时试探性地询问这是否别无选择，但在得知不得不买的消息后说了Well, all right then.由此判断[B]“这名游客已准备买旅游保险了”正确。 【点睛】听音前就通过浏览选项得知本题的关键是捕捉有关travel insurance的信息，而且涉及到是否决定买旅游险的细节，因此注意依此锁定听音重点。 |
【听前预测】预览各题干和各选项可知，该对话主角是Linda与Mark，从第4、5题可以推测Linda似乎在向Mark核实具体接待的人数，而且与机场接机有关；从第6、7题可知讨论涉及到一些表演的安排，据此推测本对话涉及到会议的安排与准备情况。 | |
【听力原文】 M: Pan-Pacific Tours. How can I help you? W: Good afternoon. Can I speak to Mark plea? M: Speaking. W: Oh, hello Mark. This is Linda from Johnson & Sons Events. M: Hello, Linda. What can I do for you? W: I was just wanting to clear up a few details of the conference event we’re organizing. M: Right. What do you need to know? W: Well, first I’ve got to have numbers, delegates to the conference, their husband or wives and so on for the transport as much as anything el. M: [4]So far we’ve got 183 who booked up. And we might get a few more. W: Does that include husbands and wives as well? M: Not really. I’ll email you the exact number becau I haven’t counted them yet. W: Fine. M: And there will be 6 guest speakers. W: Six? M: Yes. Who want picking up from the airport by car not in a fleet of bus. W: [5]Right. You’ll let me know when they are arriving, won’t you? M: Just as soon as I know. W: Now, special events. [6]You wanted a local style dance for the opening ceremony, didn’t you? M: That would be great. I’m sure everyone will enjoy it. W: And we’ll have to fly the dancers especially. M: Sure. W: [6]And then after the welcoming feast, there’s going to be a piano performance, right? M: [7]Yes, we'll have to contact the airline company about it. They’re 晨光文具加盟费sponsoring this event. W: So we’ll nd the bill direct to them for it. M: You could do. W: Well, that’s all my inquiries for the time being. M: Ok, if you need anything el, just pick up the phone or drop me an email. W: I will. Thanks. Bye. M: Bye. | 【答案解析】 4. Which of the following details is CORRECT? 【解析】选[C]。四个选项都涉及number，因此数字信息为本题的听音重点。当Linda问及delegates的人数时，Mark说So far we’ve got 183 who booked up. And we might get a few more。据此推断，Mark尚不清楚代表的确切人数，即[C]。Mark提到会有六位演讲嘉宾，故[D]错误。Mark没有提到机场大巴以及代表的配偶的数量，故[A]、[B]也排除。 简约美甲5. What does Linda want to know? 【解析】选[A]。Mark在Linda没问的情况下说了演讲嘉宾的人数以及他们乘坐哪种交通工具，[C]与[D]皆排除；对话没有问及演讲嘉宾的出发时间，排除[B]；根据Linda所说的You’ll let me know when they are arriving，可推出Linda想知道演讲嘉宾到达的时间，[A]为答案。 【点睛】四个选项中都有guest speakers，听音重点锁定为Linda想知道演讲嘉宾的哪个细节情况。 6. How many performances have been planned for the conference? 【解析】选[B]。Linda向Mark核实了会议开幕式有地方舞蹈（a local style dance），欢迎宴会后有钢琴表演（a piano performance），因此[B]为答案。 【点睛】此题需要注意对话中有关各项performance的列举，不要有遗漏。 7. Who will pay for the piano performance? 【解析】选[D]。Linda问Mark在欢迎宴会后是否有钢琴演奏，Mark回答说这个节目由航空公司赞助，于是Linda表示直接把账单寄给航空公司。因此为钢琴演出付款的是[D]“一家航空公司”。 |
【听前预测】由第8题可知，Mary丢了公文包，由第10题的题干可知，公文包最后找到了，因此该对话涉及Mary的公文包是如何失而复得的。听音时注意公文包里所有东西的列举以及公文包的确认是听音重点。 | |
【听力原文】 W: Sorry I’m late, James. M: It’s all right, Mary. Where have you been? W: At the police station. M: Where?! W: At the police station. I’ve lost my briefca. M: Oh, no. What happened? Was there anything important in it? W: [8]Yes, my cheque book, all the papers I need for work, my appointment book… M: Oh, that’s terrible. How did you lo your briefca? W: Well, as you know, [9]I was with my client at a meeting all morning and we had lunch together. After lunch I went shopping. And when I wanted to buy something, I couldn’t find my cheque book. Then I remembered that it was in my briefca. And my briefca was in my car. M: So you went back to your car. W: Yes, I went back to my car. No briefca. But luckily my laptop was there. M: And then you went to the police? W: Not immediately. [9]Before I went to the police station, I called my client’s office. No luck. They said the briefca wasn’t there. M: Excu me. I’ve got a phone call. Yes? Yes, there is. Mary Hopkins. Oh, really? I’ll tell her. It was very kind of you to call. Bye. W: Who was that? M: That was the manager of the Riverside restaurant. Just after lunch today, he found a briefca under a table. When he opened the ca, he found a lot of papers. He said they had the name of our company on them. [10]And he found a cheque book with the name of Hopkins on it. M. Hopkins. M for Mary. W: Ah, thank God. | 【答案解析】 8. What is NOT missing in Mary’s briefca? 【解析】选[C]。男士问女士公文包里有否放了重要物品，女士回答说是的，里面有支票簿（cheque book），她工作所需要的文件（all the papers I need for work）和预约记录本（appointment book），从而排除[A]、[B]、[D]，答案选[C]。 【点睛】本题答案可以根据常识推断，一般而言，笔记本是不会放在公文包里的。 9. Where was Mary the whole morning? 【解析】选[C]。抓住题干关键词the whole morning，听音时捕捉到…I was with my client at a meeting all morning…，后面又说I called my client’s office…the briefca wasn’t there.，可见Mary整个上午都在客户办公室开会，[C]为答案。 10. Why was Mary sure that the briefca was hers in the end? 【解析】选[D]。录音末尾女士说Ah, thank God.显然女士认定公文包就是她的。前面男士提到饭店经理打来电话，说捡到一个公文包，包里有一些文件，文件上有公司名字，另外还有一本支票簿，户名是M Hopkins，M代表Mary。因此女士是听到支票簿的户名时才确认公文包是自己的，[D]正确。其他项不是最直接的原因。 |
【听前预测】通过题干关键词cours，undergraduate tuition和financial assistance可知，该短文可能讨论大学的相关情况，并涉及课程、学费和经济援助等相关话题。 | |
【听力原文】 Washington University in Saint Louis, Missouri, is a medium-sized university. It has eleven thousand students. Twelve percent of them were international students, mostly graduate students.The university has schools for law, medicine and social work. It also has a business school, a school of design and visual arts and a school of engineering and applied science. [11]But more than sixty percent of cours are taught through the Arts and Sciences program. [12]The new school year that begins this fall will cost about fifty thousand dollars for undergraduates. That includes twelve months of living expens estimated at twenty thousand dollars. Graduate tuition differs by program. Tuition for the Master of Social Work program, for example, will cost twenty-ven thousand dollars in the coming year. The Master of Business Administration program will cost about thirty-eight thousand dollars. The university offers financial assistance to international students, including first-year students, but says its resources are limited. Scholarships are available. The university also offers a monthly payment plan to spread out the cost of tuition. And it offers loan programs. [13]International students in the United States generally cannot receive federal student loans. But they may be able to take out private loans, as many American students do. Washington University in Saint Louis was named Eliot Seminary when it opened in 1853. Later the name was changed to honor the first American president, George Washington. | 【答案解析】 11. We learn from the passage that about two-thirds of the cours are taught through 【解析】选[D]。听音时留意捕捉题干关键词two-thirds of the cours。录音中提到But more than sixty percent of cours are taught through the Arts and Sciences program，很明显[D]为答案。 【点睛】听音前观察到四个选项中除[D]外都与学院有关，不妨可以推断与其他三个不同类的为答案，再进一步通过录音验证。注意原文中的more than sixty percent与题干中的two-thirds的同义转换。 12. What is the cost of undergraduate tuition? 【解析】选[B]。本题问的是本科生的学费，录音提到新学年本科生要交纳的费用大约是5万，其中包括一年的生活费2万，因此去掉这2万，学费是3万，答案选[B]。[C]和[D]分别是社会工作硕士和工商管理学硕士要交纳的学费。 13. International students can receive all the following types of financial assistance EXCEPT 【解析】选[A]。题干黄连木树关键词是International students和financial assistance，听音时注意捕捉留学生与财政援助的信息。录音先是提到学校给留学生提高奖学金(scholarships)和分月付学费计划（a monthly payment plan），据此排除[C]与[D]。根据提到留学生不能享受政府贷款（cannot receive federal student loans），只可申请个人贷款（take out private loans），排除[B]，并得出[A]为答案。 |
