PartIIIListeningComprehension
SectionA
11.
M:Shawn'sbeentryingformonthstofindajob.ButIwonderhowhecouldgetajobwhen
helookslikethat.
W:Oh,thatpoorguy!Hereallyshouldshavehimselfeveryotherdayatleastandputon
somethingclean.
Q:WhatdowelearnaboutShawn?
答案：A.Heiscarelessabouthisappearance.
解析： 男生 首先对肖恩能否找到工作表示怀疑，因为他邋遢。 女生 接着提到肖恩
不修边幅，又说他应该每隔一天刮一次胡子，把自己弄得整洁干净一点。由此可知，肖恩
是一个对仪容仪表不太注重，比较粗线条的人shave，刮胡子；becarelessabout不在乎，
不介意；
12.
W:IwishJanewouldcallwhensheknowshe'llbelate.Thisisnotthefirsttimewe'vehad
towaitforher.
M:Iagree.Butshedoeshavetodrivethroughveryheavytraffictogethere.
Q:Whatdoesthemanimply?
答案：A.Janemaybecaughtinatrafficjam.
解析：本题是推理题，在做题时要注意仔细推敲。女生说：“Jane已经不是第一次迟
到让我们等了，我希望她能事先打电话告诉我们一下”，可见女生对Jane迟到的作法是不
满的。
男生又说：“Iagree.Butshedoeshavetodrivethroughveryheavytraffictogethere.”（我
同意。但是她到这里的确要遭受很拥堵的交通。）由此得出，男生对此事的态度是理解或
宽容的。Jane可能被堵在半路了。
13.
M:Congratulations!IheardyourbaseballteamisgoingtotheMiddleAtlantic
Championship.
W:Yeah,we'reallworkingrealhardrightnow!
Q:Whatisthewoman'steamdoing?
答案：A.TrainingfortheMid-AtlanticChampionship.
解析：对话开头男生提到女生所在的棒球队要参加Mid-AtlanticChampionship.女生说：
“we'reallworkingrealhardrightnow!”（我们现在正紧锣密鼓地练习呢！）由此可知，女生
所在的棒球队正在进行赛前训练。
此题还有一个迷惑选项B,Makingpreparationsforatrans-Atlantictrip,必须注意的是：
这里并不是准备旅行，而是准备参赛。
14.
W:John'sbeenlookingafterhismotherinthehospital.Shewasinjuredinacaraccident
twoweeksagoandstillincriticalcondition.
M:Oh,that'sterrible.Andyouknowhisfatherpassedawaylastyear.
Q:WhatdowelearnaboutJohn?
答案：D.Hehasbeenhavingahardtime.
解析：根据听力原文可知，“John'smotherisinthehospitalandhisfatherdiedlastyear.”
（约翰的母亲出车祸住院了，父亲两年前也过世了）由此可见，John的近况还是蛮悲惨的；
答案也就显而易见了。

M:Whataboringspeaker!Icanhardlystayawake.
W:Well,Idon'tknow.Infact,Ithinkit'sbeenalongtimesinceI'veheardanyoneisgood.
Q:Whatdowelearnfromtheconversation?
答案：DThewomanthinkshighlyofthespeaker
解析：根据听力原文可知，男生觉得演讲无趣，女生却很淡定地说：“其实我已经很
久没有听到那么好的发言了”。由此可见，女生对发言还是很肯定的。选项D中“thinkshighly
of”即“对…评价高”，故D是正确答案。
16.
W:I'mhavingalotoftroublewithlogicanditseemsmyprofessorcan'texplainitinaway
thatmakessensetome.
M:Youknow,thereisatutoringserviceoncampus.Iwasabouttodropstatisticsbefore
theyhelpedmeout.
Q:Whatdoesthemanmean?
答案：C.Thewomanshouldseekhelpfromtutoringservices.
解析：首先女生说她逻辑学得很辛苦，接受不了老师的讲课方式也理解不了课程内容。
而后男生说学校有辅导班，他在参加之前几乎要挂科了，辅导班帮了他大忙。言下之
意是推荐女生也去上辅导班。
17.
M:Thisisastylishovercoat.Isawyouwearingitlastweek,did'tI?
W:Oh,thatwasn'tme.ThatwasmysisterJill.She'sinyourclass.
Q:Whatdoesthewomanmean?
答案：C.Jillworetheovercoatlastweek.
解析：首先男生问女生上周是否穿过拉风外套，然后女生说：“ThatwasmysisterJill.
She'sinyourclass.”（那是我姐姐Jill，她和你同班）也就是说男生很有可能看到的那个穿
着拉风外套的人是女生的姐姐Jill。
18.
M:Jane,supposeyoulostallyourmoneywhiletakingavacationoverseas,whatwouldyou
do?
W:Well,IguessI'dsellmywatchorcomputerordosomeoddjobstillIcouldafforda
returnplaneticket.
Q:Whatarethespeakerstalkingabout?
答案：B.Animaginarysituation.
解析：根据原文录音可知，对话开头男生讲到：“Jane,supposeyoulostallyourmoney
whiletakingavacationoverseas,whatwouldyoudo?”这里的"suppose"表明“假定、料想”由此
可见，两人谈论的是一个虚拟场景。

D)Hecan'tdecidewhethertoincludetheeffortpartofskiing.
Q21:Whatdoesthewomansayiscommoninwritingpapers?
A)Newideascomeupasyouwrite.
19.D)Asportheparticipatesin
解析：题目问的是，男生论文的主题是什么，从talkaboutwhatparticularsportmeansto
mewhenIparticipatein一句中，可得对应选项D。C选项是一个干扰项，painandpleasurein
sports, 意为运动中的痛苦与快乐，其中sports一词范围太大，对话中只谈到了cross-country
skiing, 因此，C选项错。
20.D)Hecan'tdecidewhethertoincludetheeffortpartofskiing.
解析：当男生打算将越野滑雪的艰辛剔除出论文时，教授说了一句“Thenyou'llhaveto
includethatinyourpoint.”对应选项D
21.A)Newideascomeupasyouwrite.
解析：在对话的最后，教授提到“Partofyourpointyouknewbeforehandbutpartyou
discoveredasyouwrote.That'scommon,right?”这句话意思是说，在写论文之前，论点的一
部分我们已经有了，但另一部分在写的过程中才会发现，因此，对应选项A。A选项与D
选项较易混淆，但从教授的话中，我们可以看出，不是论点发生变化，而是在写作过程中，
会有新的想法产生。
这篇长对话因为是围绕论文写作展开，而且涉及了一项我们中国人并不熟悉的运动，
越野滑雪，因此，乍听之下，有些小抽象，小陌生。但细听之后，我们会发现，文中有一
大段都提到了男生在写作中遇到的纠结处，那就是越野滑雪的畅快和由此所付出的艰辛，
文章的主旨自然呼之欲出了。
这篇对话主要考察对文章大意的理解，而不是纠结于一词一句的得失，因此，大家在
做题时，也要注意把握主干，不要因为听到了一个自己不太熟悉的运动就舍本逐末。

25Whatdoesthemansaycontributetohissuccess?
B)Therestaurantatmosphere
22.D)Hostessoftheweekly“BusinessWorld”
解析：从对话中可以听出，这是一个访谈节目，因此这个女性是节目主持人。
23.B)Heandhiswifedideverythingbythemselves.
解析：题目问的是，刚开始的时候，Angeleno的生意怎么样？对话中提到，Ididallthe
cookingmyselfandmywifewaitedontables.Angeleno负责做菜，他妻子负责接待，对应选
项B。
24.B)Headvertisesalotonradioandinnewspapers.
解析：从ButIadvertisealotonradioandinlocalnewspapers. 一句中，可以得到对应选
项。
25.B)Therestaurantatomsphere
解析：题目问的是，什么有助于餐厅的成功？对话中提到，Ialwaysservethefreshest
possiblefoodandImaketheatmosphereascomfortableandaspleasantasIcan,sothatmy
customerswillwanttocomeback. 可见，Angeleno会提供尽可能新鲜的食物和舒适的用餐
环境以吸引顾客，因此，对应选项B，也许，有童鞋会问，为什么不选C？注意，C选项
是指各种各样的食物，与文意中“新鲜的食物”不符，是错误选项。
这篇对话是一篇较为简单的访谈节目，主要涉及一些细节问题，其中，关键细节包括
餐馆经营情况，广告宣传情况等，也是考点所在。童鞋们在听时，可以相应地做些简单的
笔记，从而准确地选出选项。

篇章类型及提要：论证文
听力点睛：
本文主要介绍关于纠正一些对眼镜及视力的常识的错误认识。注意文章首句"Thereare
manycommonlyheldbeliefsabouteyeglassesandeyesightthatarenotprovenfacts." 通常这
种文章首句就是主旨句。这是做听力短文题必须要高度关注的。接下去可以推测下面内容
必然围绕主题句展开，通过举例等来论证作者要表明的观点。所以听的时候也要高度专注
那些关键词句，如forinstance,however,but,evidence,although,Studiesshowthat...这些关键
词句后面的内容是听力常考的地方。最后文章给出一个总结句呼吁人们破除固有的一些认
识，去更多了解我们的眼睛，头尾呼应。
Questions26to28arebasedonthepassageyouhavejustheard.
26.Whatdoesthespeakerwanttotellusabouteyesight?
答案：C）Therearemanyfalsenotionsaboutit.
解析：从"eyesight" 可以把答案定位于第一段，关键词有"weakenstheeyes""lossof
vision". 注意题目中是问speaker要告诉我们的，所以不要被somepeoplebelieve...误导，看
清题目要问什么很重要。容易混淆的是A选项，文中提到如果孩子戴不合适的眼镜会使孩
子的视力减弱，但并没有提到孩子经常忽视保护视力。B、D选项文中没有提及，可以排
除。
27.Whatdostudiesaboutwearingthewrongglassesshow?
答案：C）Itcanleadtothelossofvisioninchildren.
解析：本题关键词是"studies""wearingthewrongglasses". 文章中作者很明显地给出了
"Studiesshowthatforadults..." 因此了解这个后面的内容，做出本题难度不大。文中说到
"foradultsthereisnodanger" ，因此排除B选项。"thereisnoevidence...thestructureofeyes
ischanged""itdoesnotpermanentlydamageeyesight"可以排除D选项，注意如果漏听了no，
很可能就会选错。A选项前文没有提及，可以排除。
28.Whatdowelearnabouteyetransplantingfromthetalk?
答案：D）Itcanonlybepartlyaccomplishednow.
解析：本题关键词"eyetransplanting"，迅速定位于听力后面部分。A、B、C选项文中
没有提及，排除。文章最后部分"Onlycertainpartsoftheeyecanbereplaced""Onlycertain
partsoftheeyecanbereplaced"可以推断出答案是D选项。

29.Whyareadultchildrenmorelikelytousecommunityservicestohelpcareforelderly
parents?
答案：D）Theyhavejobsandothercommitments.
解析：细节题。本题询问原因，文章开头很快就给出了本题答案"becausetheyoftenhave
jobsandotherresponsibilities." 注意D选项中的commitments的意思是 “承诺，保证；承担
义务”和responsibilities意思相近。这也是四级考试中常见的选项设置，用同义词或近义词
替换掉文中的词汇。这要求考试在备考时，重点词汇及其同义词反义词都要有所了解。其
他选项文中没有提及，可排除。
30.Whyaremostwivesunwillingtoputtheirdependenthusbandsintonursinghomes?
答案：A)Theydon'twanttouseupalltheirlifesavings.
解析：细节题。关键词"wives""husbands"。本题不难，文章中已经直接给出答案"inorder
nottouseuptheirlifesavings"。
31.Accordingtothepassage,whatmustcaregiverslearntodo?
31.Accordingtothepassage,whatmustcaregiverslearntodo?
答案：C）Befrankandseekhelpfromothers.
解析：关键词"caregivers""learntodo"，问看护人应该要学会做的事情，然后迅速定位
于最后部分，"Oneconsiderationistoask..."，"Caregiversmustalsolearntostate..." 主要有两
件事情，C选项是其中一个，另外一个选项中没有，排除A、B和D选项。

Questions32-35arebasedonthepassageyouhavejustheard.
32Whatdoesthetalkfocuson?
A)Healthandsafetyconditionsinworkplace.
解析：主旨题。本题简单，了解了文章主要内容后，就可以直接选出答案。注意不要
被文章中员工们得对工作环境的complaints影响而混淆了。
33WhatdidtheX-raytechnicianaskhercompanytodo?
Replaceitsout-datedequipments.
答案：A）Replaceitsout-datedequipments.
解析：细节题。作者有直接读出答案，比较简单。
34Whatdoesthespeakersayaboutthetwopregnantwomenworkingwithpaint?
A)Theyrequestedtotransfertoasaferdepartment.
答案：A)Theyrequestedtotransfertoasaferdepartment.
解析：细节题。作者有直接读出答案，比较简单。注意选B选项的同学可能犯了想当
淘宝店铺：https://shop499712503.taobao.com/ 店主旺旺：慧园文化然的错误。做题还是要按照文章的事实根据来。
35Whydidtheworkersinthefirmwearski-clothingtowork?
C)Toprotestagainstthepoorworkingconditions.
答案：C）Toprotestagainstthepoorworkingconditions.
解析：推理题。本题容易误选D选项。因为是heatingsystem出了故障。但通过下文
"tooembarrassed""hadtheheatingsystemreplacedrightaway" 从老板的反应及采取的措施
可以推断出，员工们穿滑雪服地原因其实为对差的工作环境向老板提出抗议。

Section B
Passage One
There are many commonlyheld beliefs about eye glasses and eyesight that are
not proven facts. Forinstance, somepeople believe that wearing glasses toosoon
weakens theeyes. But there isnoevidence toshow that thestructure ofeyes is
changed bywearing glasses at ayoung age. Wearing thewrong glasses, however,
can prove harmful. Studies showthat foradults there is nodanger, but children can
develop loss ofvisionifthey have glasses inappropriate fortheireyes.
Wehave all heard someofthecommon myths about howeyesight gets bad.
Most people believe that reading in dim light causes poor eyesight, but that is untrue.
Toolittle light makes theeyes work harder, so they doget tired and strained.
Eyestrain also results from reading a lot,reading in bed,and watching too much
淘宝店铺：https://shop499712503.taobao.com/ 店主旺旺：慧园文化television. However, although eyestrain may cause somepain orheadaches, it does
not permanently damage eyesight.
Another myth about eyes is that they can bereplaced, ortransferred from one
person to another. There are closeto one millionnerve fibres that connect the
eyeball to thebrain, as ofyet it isimpossible to attach them all in a newperson.
Only certain parts oftheeye can bereplaced. But ifwe keep clearingupthe myths
and learning more about theeyes, someday a fulltransplant may bepossible.
Questions 26to 28are based onthepassage you have justheard.
26.What does thespeaker want to tell usabout eyesight?
27.What dostudies about wearing thewrong glasses show?
28.What dowelearn about eye transplanting from thetalk?
Passage Two
When peoplecare for an elderly relative, they often donot useavailable
community services, suchas adultday care centers. If thecare givers are adult
children, they are more likelyto usesuch services, especially because they often
have jobs and otherresponsibilities. In contrast, aspouse, usuallythewife, is much
less likely tousesupport services or toput thedependent person in anursing home.
Social workers discover that thewife normally tries to takecare ofher husband
herself for as long as she can in order not to useuptheirlife savings. Researchers
have found that caring for theelderly can be avery positiveexperience. The elderly
appreciated thecare and attention theyreceived. They were affectionateand
corporative. However, even when care giving issatisfying, itis hard work. Social

Contrary tothe oldwarning that timewaits for noone.Timeslows down when
you are onthe move. It also slows down moreas you movefaster, which means
astronauts someday may survive so long inspace that theywould return to earth ina
distant future. If you could moveat thespeed oflight, your timewill stand still.If
you could movefaster than light, your timewill movebackwards. Although noform
ofmatter yet discovered moveas fast as orfaster than light, scientific experiments
have already confirmed that theaccelerated motioncauses a traveller’s timetobe
stretched。
Albert Einsteinpredicted this in 1905,when he introduced theconcept of
relative timeas part ofhis special theory ofrelativity. Asearch isnowunderway to
confirm thesuspected existence ofparticles ofmatterthat move at thespeed greater
than light, and therfore might serve as apassport to thepast And obsession with time,
saving, gaining, wasting, losingandmastering it, seems to have been part of
humanity for as longas human’shave existed。
Humanity also has been obsessed with trying to capture themeaning of time.
Einstein useda definition oftimefor experimental purposes, isthat which is
measured bya clock, thus timeand time’s relativity are measurablebyany hour
glass, alarm clock oran atomicclock that can measure abillionth ofa second.
