听力原文
1. M:It seems to me that there is no need to have a screen
on the door in the winter. We usually put on in summer, don’t we?
W:The only reason for having a screen on the door is to keep insects out while the door is open.
Q:When does the screen prevent insects from entering the room?
2. M:You know, I’m leaving for Paris tomorrow, but I don’t know
any French. How will I manage if I have to find a toilet, for example?
W:It’s easy. There are drawings that make everything very clear. You’ll
see a little picture of a man over the men’s room and one of a woman over the ladies’ room.
Q:According to the woman, how can the man find a toilet in Paris?
3. M:I’m going to Italy next month. Because of my poor Italian, I’m afraid I can’t make myself understood. What can I do?
W:You’d better speak slowly, and you may make a gesture when you cannot
express your meaning clearly. But why not ask an interpreter to go along with you?
Q:What’s the man’s problem?
4. M:God, I’m tired. It’s time for a coffee break. Let’s go out
for some coffee, O.K.?
W:I’m trying to save money nowadays. Why don’t you sit down and relax right here at my home and I’ll make you a cup of coffee.
Q:What’s the woman’s suggestion?
5. M:Excuse me, Lisa, I noticed a copy of encyclopedia on your desk. Would you mind if I borrowed it this afternoon?
W:Certainly, Joe. I’m not reading it right now, so why don’t you take it home over the weekend. Just remember to return it on Monday.
Q:What’s the woman’s attitude to the man?
6. W:Don’t worry about it, Stanley. There’s nothing we can do now.
M:I guess you’re right. Next time I buy tickets for the theate
r, I’ll be sure to look at the date. Then we’ll go on the right day instead of a day late.
Q:What do we learn from the conversation?
7. M:It seems to me you have everything you’ll need, Mrs. Jones.
Our ship is about to leave, let’s go.
W:No, I don’t. Something is missing, but I can’t think what it could be
. My passport, my boat tickets, my suitcases…yes, they’re all here. Oh! Now I know what it is! Where is my husband?
Q:What does the woman forget?
8. M:Elizabeth, would you please read this letter of application I’ve just written? I’d like to have your opinion.
W:I’d be glad to tell you what I think. You should write about your education first. Then you should give much more information about your work experience. The last paragraph should be left out.
Q:What did the woman think of the last paragraph?
9. M:Excuse me. I’ve never used a library like this before. I wonder if someone might have time to show me around.
W:I’d be very glad to show you around, but I’m very busy right now. Could you come back about 3:30?
Q:Which of the following statements is true?
10.M:Yes, I’d like to have these prescriptions filled, please.
W:Certainly, if you’ll just wait a few minutes I’ll have them for you.
Q:Where does the conversation most probably take place?

Darwin was a great scientist. He studied living things in the world.
He said, “There are thousands of living things. But in the past, the number was smaller. In the far past, a still smaller number. In the beginning—perhaps only one.”
Darwin waited a long time before he put these things into a book. He always tried to add more and more facts: he wanted his ideas about evolution to be right.
It took him many years to write the book. On the first day, people bought every copy. The men of the churches fought against Darwin’s ideas. His story of the
world was different from theirs. So either Darwin or the men of the churches must be wrong. But the churches did not bring any new facts, or better ideas. They
only brought angry words.
Later, Darwin wrote a book about the evolution of man. He said that man is also a kind of animal. And again, Darwin did not just write down his own ideas. He
filled his book with facts. We know now that he was right. There have been men for more than a million years. We have found some of their bones. Bones have told
us a lot about the evolution of living things.
Like any other animals, man slowly changed through time. But we cannot find the bones of man from a few million years ago. There were not any men at that time
. The world’s animals were different then.
But the bones can take us backwards through time—into the past. And they can
help us with our study of the evolution of life.
11.What were Darwin’s ideas based on?
12.Why did the men of the churches fight against Darwin’s ideas?
13.According to the passage, which of the following is not true?

As is known to all, scientists and philosophers had studied the human body and
its functions from very early times. Unfortunately, many of the ideas and theor
ies, correct and incorrect, were accepted without question for a great number of
years. But by the 16th century, knowledge gained through chemical experiments w
as beginning to make some people think more deeply about how the human body works.
A most important medical discovery was made by William Harvey in 1628. He found out that the blood is circulated round the body in one direction only by the
pumping action of the heart. It had previously been incorrectly thought that the
blood moved with a backward and forward motion.
Early in the 17th century a new instrument came into use that was to open up a
whole new area in the study of medical and scientific matters. This was the microscope.The first instruments were not very efficient. They were able to magnify only a very small part of the object and this was always surrounded by rings
of coloured light. Nevertheless a great step forward had been taken which was of
vital importance for future research and development.
14.What was the unfortunate thing mentioned in the passage?
15.What did William Harvey find out in 1628?
16.What instrument gave a great help to the study of medical and scientific matters?

One way that scientists learn about man is by animals, such as mice, rats and
monkeys. The scientists in this laboratory are experimenting on mice. They are studying the relationship between diet and health. At this time over one hundred
experiments are going on in this laboratory.
In this experiment, the scientists are studying the relationship between the a
mount of food the mice eat and their health. The mice are in three groups. All three groups are receiving the same healthy diet. But the amount of food that each group is receiving is different. The first group is eating one cup of food each day, the second is eating two cups, and the third group of mice is eating three cups.
After three years, the healthiest group is the one that is only eating one cup
of food each day. The mice in this group are thinner than normal mice. But they are more active. Also they are living longer. Mice usually live for two years.
Most of the mice in this group are still alive after three years. The second group of mice is normal weight. They are healthy, too. They are active, but not as
active as the thinner mice. But they are only living about two years. The last
group of mice spends most of the day eating or sleeping. They are not very active. These mice are living longer than the scientists thought: about a year and a
half. But they are not healthy. The experiment is still going on. The scientists
hope to finish their studies in two years.
17.According to the passage, what animals are often used by scientists to
learn about man?
18.What are the scientists studying in this laboratory?
19.Which group of mice is the healthiest among the three groups after three years?
20.Which of the following is implied but not stated in the experiment?
答案部分
1. 答案C。
【试题分析】 本题考查辨听明示信息的能力。
【关键词语】 while the door is open
【详细解答】 从选项看，问题问及的是时间。男的认为冬天门上没有必要装screen(纱门
)，通常是夏季才装。女的说，装纱门的惟一理由是防止开门时进来虫子。对话中“while the door is open”能给我们提供准确答案。
2. 答案C。
【试题分析】 本题考查辨听细节的能力。
【关键词语】 drawings, picture
【详细解答】 从选项看，问题与找厕所有关。女的告诉那个男的：“You’ll see a little picture of a man over the men’s room and one of a woman over the ladies’ room
.”因此当问到这个男的在巴黎怎么找厕所时，我们可以选C。
3. 答案D。
【试题分析】 本题考查对常用表达方式的理解能力。
【关键词语】 can’t make myself understood
【详细解答】 从选项看，问题可能与语言交流有关。这里关键要理解男的
说话的意思，特别是“Because of my poor Italian, I’m afraid I can’t make myself understood.”这句的意思是“由于我意大利语差，我怕别人听不懂我的话。理解了这句话，当问到这个男的碰到什么问题时，我们就会选D，而排除掉其他的干扰选项。
4. 答案C。
【试题分析】 本题考查辨听明示信息的能力。
【关键词语】 I’ll make you a cup of coffee.
【详细解答】 从选项看，问题是女的提出了什么建议。注意，在阅读较长
的选项时，相同的部分一眼扫过，重点要看不同的部分。从选项的不同部分，我们可以发现，问题集中在喝不喝咖啡，在哪儿喝。我们可以从女的答复中听到：Why don’t you sit down and relax right here at my home and I’ll make you a cup of coffee.因此，我们很快就会选准C。
5. 答案A。
【试题分析】 本题考查获取未明示信息的能力。
【关键词语】 certainly

【关键词语】 nothing we can do now, go on the right day instead of a day late
【详细解答】 从选项看，话题与男女有没有按时看成戏有关。从女的话语
中容易听到答案：Next time…I’ll be sure to look at the date. Then we’ll go on the right day instead of a day late.这里最能说明问题的是“instead of a day late”，可见他们没有看成，故选B。
7. 答案D。
【试题分析】 本题考查获取未明示信息的能力。
【关键词语】 where is my husband
【详细解答】 从选项看，话题与女的某件东西或其丈夫有关。女的说：…something is
missing, but I can’t think what it could be…My passport, my boat tickets, my suitcases…yes, they’re all here.由此可见与A、B、C三个选项无关，只剩下D项，再听，女的又说：“Oh! Now I know what it is! Where is my husband?”可见选D是正确的。
8. 答案B。
【试题分析】 本题考查对常用短语理解的能力。
【关键词语】 be left out
【详细解答】 从选项看，话题涉及到某个人对某件事的意见。从男的所说
的话中我们得知，男的刚写完一封申请信，征求女的意见。女的说，你应该先写你的education(受教育情况)，再写你的work experience(工作经历)，最后一段省掉。因此当问到女的对最后一段的意见时，我们很自然就会选B。
9. 答案B。
【试题分析】 本题考查对隐含之意的理解。
【关键词语】 never use a library like this before
【详细解答】 从选项看，话题与图书馆有关。男的说：我从来也没有用过
像这样的图书馆，不知道有没有人有时间带我走走。从男士的话中我们听不出他喜欢的意思，不知如何使用的意思是有的，故先选B。再听女的是如何说的，她说：我很乐意带你走走，但我现在很忙，你三点三十分左右来好吗?从女士的话中我们可以排除掉C和D。因此，最后只有B是正确的。
10.答案C。
【试题分析】 本题考查推理判断的能力。
