　　KEY TO LISTENING COMPREHENSION

　　1.A 2.C 3.B 4.B 5.A 6.D 7.A 8.C 9.B 10.A

　　SECTION A STATEMENT

　　1. “我認為你們的保險單沒有規(guī)定對待火災(zāi)造成的損失的保障。”

　　本題要求判斷說話人的身份。 如果只聽到只言片語，如policy就會受到D: 政治家 的干擾， 或fire而受到B: 消防隊員 的干擾；只有聽清全文，聯(lián)系上下文，才可判斷出這里policy意思是“保險單，保險契約”，而非“政策”，也才能推測出其職業(yè)應(yīng)為A: 保險代理人。

　　2. “盡管Susan在銀行有大筆存款， 但她的衣服卻一點兒也不時髦。”

　　由though引導(dǎo)的表示讓步功能的分句， 暗示Susan盡管有錢卻不買時髦的衣服，即在衣服上花費不多，C最切合題意。 anything but: 除…之外，恰恰不，決不

　　3. “油漆匠建議等房間墻壁干一些后再粉刷。”

　　換句話說房間的墻壁不夠干而不能粉刷， 與油漆沒關(guān)系。因此應(yīng)選B。

　　4. “Lucy寧可什么也不做， 也不愿整晚打游戲機。” 也就是說Lucy最不愿意玩游戲機了。 B最接近原意。. would rather …than… = would sooner…than…: 寧可…而不…, 最好…而不…

　　5. “Andrew的車剛開到車庫， 汽油就用完了。”

　　A: 他的汽油用完了；B: 他剛給車加滿油; C: 到車庫時，他的車還剩一點油; D: 他遇到了車禍。了解詞組run out of (用完，耗盡）也就能選出A為正確答案。

　　6. “外表可能是靠不住的。”也就是說不能以貌取人，依賴外表作出判斷，D: 不要相信外表 與此含義最接近。

　　7. “Thurber在童年時的一次事故中弄瞎了一只眼睛， 但他仍在寫作生涯中獲得了成功。”

　　despite of = in spite of : 盡管，任憑，是表達轉(zhuǎn)折， 讓步關(guān)系的介詞詞組。 文中說盡管Thurber在失去一只眼睛的不利情況下，仍成為了個成功的作家。 A：他是個偉大的作家 與此最接近。

　　8. “他其實不必告訴我音樂會的時間， 我已經(jīng)知道了。”

　　作為情態(tài)助動詞，need一般只用于否定句和疑問句。 “needn’t + 不定式完成體”表示過去本來不必做某事卻做了。因此原句可理解為“其實他不必告訴我， 但他告訴了。” 所以C為最佳選擇。

　　另外：“needn’t do / don’t need to”表示沒有必要而不去做。

　　9. “在閱讀過程中， 我們必須從字里行間領(lǐng)會隱含之意。”

　　in the course of …: 在…過程中

　　理解詞組read between the lines: （從字里行間﹑言詞﹑行動中) 領(lǐng)會言外之意﹑體會隱含之意 就不難理解本題的真實含義，從而選出正確答案B。
