News Item 1
【听前预测】根据各题干和选项相关信息可以推测，本则新闻是关于联合国峰会的报道。听音时注意捕捉峰会的主题、峰会的结果、以及其他一些细节信息。 |
【听力原文】 The UN climate change summit in Cancun, Mexico is drawing to a clo with no agreement so far on future cuts to greenhou gas emissions. Some rich countries have been resisting calls for further cuts under the Kyoto Protocol. Japan appears dead t against accepting further emission cuts under the Kyoto Protocol; so does Russia. But developing countries say tho nations must uphold promis they made a decade ago. The US and other western countries want the World Bank to control money raid to help poorer countries deal with climate change. Tho developing countries can't accept that as they regard the bank as a western-dominated institution. | 【答案解析】 1．选[B]。信息辨认题。本题问墨西哥峰会的主题，实则是新闻的主旨，听音时注意捕捉开头信息。新闻开头提到，峰会接近尾声，却还没有就温室气体排放达成协议。一些富裕的国家拒绝按照京东议定书的规定进一步减少气体排放。接下来都是在围绕温室气体排放这一主题说明发达国家和发展中国家之间的分歧。因此本题答案为[B]“减少气体排放”。 2．选[C]。信息推断题。根据上题解析可知，选项[A]、[B]正确。新闻中提到，日本和俄罗斯反对按照京都协定书(Kyoto Protocol)的规定进一步减少排放量，而发展中国家则表示这些国家必须遵守十年前的承诺。因此选项[C]“京都协定书符合发达国家的利益”错误，为答案。新闻最后提到，美国和其他西方国家希望由世界银行来控制为贫困国家筹集的用于对抗环境变化的资金，而那些发展中国家却拒绝接受这一点，因为他们认为世界银行是由西方国家主宰的机构。因此选项unix[D]也正确。 |

News Item 2
【听前预测】根据题干和选项相关信息可以推测，本则新闻是关于一面丝质骑兵旗帜的报道，听音时注意捕捉其历史、现在存放情况、以及拍卖价格等信息。 |
【听力原文】 The only surviving American flag from one of the most famous battles of the American West, Custer's Last Stand, has been sold for approximately $2m at Sotheby's in New York. The silk Cavalry flag was carried into the 1876 battle at Little Bighorn, where General Custer led 200 soldiers against a much stronger force from the Lakota Sioux and Cheyenne tribes. The battle was a huge victory for the Native Americans, but the public frenzy to avenge Custer's death accelerated the government's efforts to confine the Plains Indians. Since 1895, the silk flag has been the property of the Detroit Institute of Arts and hasn't often been on display to the public. It's not yet clear who bought it at auction. | 【答案解析】 3．选[B]。信息推断题。本题中涉及数字，听音时要注意做相关记录。根据新闻内容可知，这面丝质的骑兵旗帜在纽约苏富比拍卖行以大约200万美元的价格出售；自优点的英文1895年以来，其成为底特律艺术馆的财产，不经常向公众展览。由此可以看出，选项[A]、[C]中的数字均错误，[D]中regularly错误。新闻开头提到，这面旗帜是美国“卡斯特最后的战役”中唯一幸存的一面旗帜，后面又提到，公众为卡斯特将军报仇的愤怒加速了政府限制美洲平原印第安人的努力，由此可以推断卡斯特将军是美洲印第安人的首领，这面旗帜也就属于印第安人。因此选项[B]正确，为答案。 |
