参考答案 详细解答和录音文字材料

Part Ⅰ Listening Comprehension

Section A 

1.W: Oh, Dick. You ' re wearing a black jacket, but yellow trousers. It ' s the strangest combination I ' ve ever seen. 

M: I know. I got up late and dressed in a hurry. I didn ' t realize my mistake until I entered the office. 

Q:What does the woman think of the way Dick ' s dressed? 

2.

M: Excuse me, but has anyone turned in a brown leather wallet? I ' ve lost my wallet. It contains my driver ' s license, and also some family pictures that are pretty important to me. 

W: Yes. We had a wallet brought in this morning. Wait here just a minute, please. 

Q:What will the woman probably do? 

3.

M: Excuse me, madam. Is the air conditioning on? This room is getting as hot as a furnace.

W: Sorry, sir. A new epidemic called SARS is threatening us right now. As a preventative measure, we are told to let in fresh air by opening the windows and not using air conditioners. 

Q:What does the woman mean? 

4.

M: You look quite different from what you used to. 

W: Sure, I started exercising regularly two years ago and went from 253 pounds to a healthy 160 pounds. And that ' s the only thing I did not give up halfway. 

Q:What do we know about the woman? 

5.

M: I wonder if you find my experience relevant to the job. 

W: Yes, certainly. But if only you had sent in your application letter a week earlier.

Q:What does the woman imply? 

6.

W: Shouldn ' t someone go pick up the clothes from the laundry? They were ready three hours ago. 

M: Don ' t look at me, mom. 

Q:What does the boy mean? 

7.

M: Uh, hi. Could you tell me where electronic products are displayed? I want to see some TVs, digital video cameras, DVD players, that sort of thing. 

W: Well, several countries are displaying electronic products. China ' s selection is very large this year. You might as well go to the east wing first to take a look at the Chinese booth. 

Q:Where is the conversation most probably taking place? 

8.

M: Well, what did you think of the movie? 

W: I don ' t know why I let you talk me into going. I just don ' t like violence. Next time, you ' d better choose a comedy. 

Q:What can we infer from the conversation? 

9.

W: Who do you think should get the job? How about Mr. Beckett? 

M: Mr. Beckett? I ' m not sure. He ' s a nice fellow, of course, and easy to get along with. But I doubt his professional expertise. I want someone who can get the job done. 

Q:What do we learn from the conversation about Mr. Beckett? 

10.

M: Do you think home video players will replace movie theaters and force them out of the entertainment business? 

Q:What does the woman think of the movie theater? 

Section B 

Passage One 

Few people can stand for the spirit of early America as much as Benjamin Franklin. He live through almost the whole of the 18th century. He was born six years after the century began and died 10 years before it ended. During this time, he saw the American colonies grow from tiny settlements into a nation, and he also contributed much to the new state. He was deeply interested in science and national history, and his experiments with electricity and lightening lead directly to the invention of the lightening rod. He was also interested in improving the conditions of his fellow man. He was involved in a number of projects in his native Philadelphia , including the setting up of a library, a university, a philosophical society, and a fire-prevention service. He worked hard to enable the American colonies to gain independence from Britain . As ambassador to France , he encouraged the French to help George Washington. After the war, he attended the American Constitutional Congress. This was his last contribution, for he died later that year. He is still fondly remembered by Americans as one of the creators of the United States. 

Questions: 

11. What did the speaker say about Benjamin Franklin? 

12. How did Franklin help George Washington? 

13. According to the passage, what is Franklin still remembered as? 

Passage Two 

Yuppies are young people who earn a lot of money and live in a style that is too expensive for most people. If you are invited to a yuppie dinner party, don ' t be surprised if you are offered freshly-cooked insects as a first course. While the idea of eating fried insects fills most of us with horror, insect eating is becoming highly fashionable. For example, in the media industry, successful executives are often seen eating fried or boiled insects from time to time while working at their desks. These safe-to-eat insects can be found and ordered on the Internet, and young people are logging on to exotic food Web sites and ordering samples of prepared insects to serve at their dinner parties. Although the idea of eating insects is probably disgusting to most of us, few people would claim that pigs, chickens, and some kinds of seafood we often eat are examples of great beauty. One day, insects could be marketed and sold as a food item in supermarkets. According to their fans, they are not only high in protein and low in fat, but also very tasty. But until our attitudes to food change fundamentally, it seems that insect eaters will remain a select few. 

Questions: 

14. Why did the speaker say we might be surprised at a yuppie dinner party? 

15. Where can people order the unusual food mentioned by the speaker? 

16. Why are some yuppies attracted by the unusual food? 

17. What does the speaker say about the future of this type of unusual food?

Passage Three 

Many people dislike walking to the bank, standing in long lines, and running out of checks. They are dissatisfied with their bank ' s limited hours, too. They want to do some banking at night and on weekends. For such people, their problems may soon be over. Before long, they may be able to do their banking from the comfort of their own home any hour of the day, any day of the week. Many banks are preparing online branches or Internet offices, which means that people will be able to take care of much of their banking business through their home computers. This process is called interactive banking. At these online branches, customers will be able to view all their accounts, move money between their accounts, apply for a loan, and get current information on products such as credit cards. Customers will also be able to pay their bills electronically and even e-mail questions to the bank. Banks are creating online services for several reasons. One reason is that banks must compete for customers, who will switch to another bank if they are dissatisfied with the service they receive. The convenience of online banking appeals to the kind of customer banks most want to keep. That is, people who are young, well educated, and have good incomes. Banks also want to take advantage of modern technology since they have moved into the 21st century. 

Qestions: 

18. What is one of the reasons for people ' s dissatisfaction with traditional banks?

19. What kind of customer does online banking most appeal to? 

20. Why do banks create online services, according to the passage? 
