EXPLANATION OF LISTENING COMPREHENSION
SECTION A STATEMENT
1. "Harrison说所有的大学生都可以免费听音乐会。”
干扰项A:“如果大学生们有空，可以去听音乐会”, 其实是混淆了"be free to（免费）"与"be free（闲暇）"；C:“这场音乐会不收费”也不准确，因为除了在校大学生，对其他人不一定不收费；D:“大学里的所有音乐会对学生都是免费的”，原文中用定贯词说明了这场音乐会，并不代表所有的音乐会。只有B:“大学生不必为这场音乐会付门票钱”才最贴近原文。
2. "Columbus因认为地球是圆的而领先于他的时代。" 答案为D。
ahead of one's time(s) = before one's times:（人）思想过于先进﹑创新﹑领先于其时代
另外，
ahead of time = before time: 在原定时间以前，提前
behind the time(s): 落后于时代，过时
behind time: 在指定时间以后，迟晚
3. “自从他从他的旧公寓搬出后，就住在了一个比我的房子大一倍的房子里。”
"as + 形容词或副词原级+ as (分句)"是同级比较结构，表示“....跟...”一样，原文中虽使用了这一结构，但在as前加了twice，则表示“跟我的（房子）两倍一样大"，可见他的房子比我的房子大，即C。
4. “一看到马路当中有只鸟，他立即停住了车。”
听出并理解词组“bring...to a standstill（把...停住）”，就不难选出正确答案。
下边是与sight有关的一些词组:
at the sight of...: 一看见
by sight: 根据外表印象
catch sight of: 看到，发现，意识到
lose sight of: 不再看见，与...失去联系，
at first sight: 一见之下，立即
Out of sight, out of mind: 眼不见，心不想
5. "我得教同样的教材几遍，这有时很枯燥乏味，而且报酬也不高，但总的说来，与年轻人呆在一起，从中却能得到乐趣。”
by and large = generally speaking = in general: 大体上，总的来说，一般地说
delight in: 感到高兴，愉快
问说话者对他的教学工作喜欢什么。从文中，我们可以听出他对一成不变的教书工作不感兴趣，而且嫌报酬不好，则排除了A与B；同时他说他与年轻人在一起感到愉快；D没有提及。所以答案是C。
6. “Susan在努力了几个小时之后，仍然没能发动起来她的汽车。” 答案为C。
succeed in doing ...: 干成，成功地做...
7. “Mary觉得很难赶上其他同学，她妈妈担心她将来会退学。”
catch up with: 赶上
drop out of = stop attending or taking part in： 退出（活动），退学
Mary的问题是什么呢？并非A: 与她的同学相处不好；而且也不是C: 将要与她的同学一起离开学校；实际上她还没D: 决定不再上学了；她妈妈担心她会退学，担心的原因全在于她赶不上其他同学，因此B: 她落在了别人后边 最符合原意。
8. “他通过了所有的考试，这是他做梦也想不到的！”
看来他从来没有期望过能有这么好的结果，因此答案为B。
beyond one's wildest dreams: （好得）连做梦也想不到
beyond 常与一些名词或词组构成短语，指程度深于﹑范围超出﹑非...所及
如：
beyond one's control: 处于某人控制范围之外
beyond words: 无法用言词表达
beyond compare 或beyond comparison: 无与伦比，极好
beyond repair: 修不好，无法修理
9. “Peter在亚运会上打破了马拉松世界纪录。”
理解词组 "beat a record ", 就应看出 D: Peter创了马拉松新记录 是最符合原文的选项，否则很容易受到A: Peter在马拉松比赛中被打败了 以及B: Peter在录像带上录下了一场体育节目 的干扰。
beat a (the) record = break (crack, cut, smash) a (the) record：打破纪录
SECTION B CONVERSATION
10. F：“这部关于太空探索的新电影很有趣。”
M：“很有趣？ 我可以在那儿呆几小时。”
M没有直接谈他对这部电影的看法，但他显然觉得F 的评价不足以表达出他自己的强烈感情，因此用“我可以在那几个小时”来说明他的喜爱之情，我们可以推测他一定觉得这部电影很精彩。因此答案为A。
11. M：“你的同伴盼望着回家过假期吗？”
F：“她在数日子呢。”
与上题一样，这道题不能简单地照F回答的字面意思去理解，而是需结合M的问题用推测的方法才能作出正确的回答。“她在数日子”，说明她很急切，很想回家；C：她不准备回家 显然不对；D：她觉得假期太短，文中并没说假期有多长；而A：她对回家很兴奋 最接近原文。B是语音干扰项。
12. F：“我们可以拐到这条路上到机场。”
M：“但这会儿这条路是一天中最挤的时候。”
F建议从这条路到机场，M似乎不同意，用转折连词说明“尽管如此，但是（路很挤）”，暗示他的意见， 即 A: 应该走别的路。
13. M：“你房前的那些树很漂亮。”
F：“是啊，而且还很有用。它们省下了开空调的需要。”
理解词组cut down on（减少， 削减），就理解了本文所说的那些树有用的原因，即起到了与空调一样的降温作用，从而省下了开空调的需要；否则就容易理解为cut down（砍倒，杀死），而受到A的干扰。
14. F：“你想什么时候帮我复习功课？”
M： “现在就不错。”
A: 除了现在任何时候都行；B: 他想过些时候；C: 他请她来决定 都与原文中的“现在就和任何时候一样好”不符，所以B：他愿意现在就开始 最贴近原意。
15. M：“我希望在暑假期间找份工作挣些钱。你呢？”
F：“我打算参加函授课程的学习从而能早些毕业。”
本题询问谈论的话题。如果只听懂了M的话，就容易理解为单纯的谈工作而选D，而如果只听懂了F的话，就会以为谈论的是学习课程或毕业，而选C或A。只有听懂了两个人的谈话内容，根据关键词summer vacation才能推断出他们讨论的话题是暑假各自的打算，从而选出正确答案B。
16. F：“为何Bob这么快就睡着了？”
M：“因为他已经在实验室里不停地工作了一天一夜了。”
本文问为何Bob入睡很快。A：因为他正做有关睡觉的实验；B：因为他从新调了钟表；C：因为他吃了些安眠药；D：因为工作了一整天而筋疲力尽。根据原文“他工作了一天一夜”我们可以推测出他一定很累，因此D为正确选择。
around the clock = round the clock = the clock round: 连续一整天， 日夜不停地
另外：
against the clock: 争分夺秒地
beat the clock: 提前完成任务
17. M：“你的衣服现在看上去好些了。”
F：“谢谢， 我叫人把它改小了。”
问F对她的衣服做什么了。A：她自己把衣服改小了；B：她让别人把衣服改小了；C：她亲自把衣服改长了；D：她让别人把衣服改长了。根据句型have sth done = get sb to do sth：叫别人做某事，及词组take in：缩小，改短（外衣， 裙子等），可以得到正确答案Ｄ。
另外：take in 还有“欺骗，接受，留宿，订阅报刊”等意。
SECTION C NEWS BROADCAST
18. 这是道内容细节测试题。对于问题"all of the following but（除...以外）"，需要考生对有关内容的整体理解。文中除B没提到外，其它几项都有所提及。因此答案为B。
19. 测试谁的细节题。可以把文中“The UN-sponsored meeting”作为依据，找出答案C。
20. 测试结果的细节题。文中的最后一句话有助我们理解并选出正确答案D。
21. 测试全文内容的理解。在此基础上可得出正确选择D。
22. 测试原因的细节题。根据文中首句，答案应为C。
23. 测试关于条件的细节题。原文的最后一句有助于选出正确答案A。
24. 有关时间长度的细节测试题。可从文中直接找到答案C。
25. 有关内容细节的测试题。除了A：重工业 没被提及外，另外几项损失在文中都有所提及。因此答案为A。

Camping Holidays
To many people, camping seems to be an ideal way of spending a holiday. / Not only is it cheaper, / it can also be far more convenient and enjoyable. / If you have young children, / camping has particular advantages. / There is always plenty for them to do, / and they enjoy the freedom of camping compared to the discipline of staying in a hotel. / Above all, camping provides a complete change for everyone, / and afterwards you return refreshed to your normal way of life./
To some people, however, all these advantages are outweighed8 by the disadvantages. / Such people will point out that on a camping holiday the mother still has to cook for everyone. / What is worse, she has to prepare meals / without the help of all the equipment in her kitchen at home./ Under bad weather, there may be too many flies and mosquitoes. / For these people a holiday in a hotel is well worth the extra expense.
