文章点评：

　　1. 逻辑结构上，本文大体也是按照“提出问题(考证热的现象)”“分析问题(背后的动力)”和“解决问题(个人的观点)”的结构展开。

　　2. 本文的亮点非常多，用语非常地道，用英语思维催动出来的英语文章，才是真正的极品。相比用中式思维催动出来的英语文章，这篇文章是很美味的，强烈建议大家背诵下来。大家记得《天龙八部》吗？鸠摩智用小无相功催动出的招式是敌不过藏经阁里的扫地和尚的。总之，我们大可不必刻意使用难词难句，其实表意明确，用语地道的文章，就肯定可以拿到高分。

　　Part II Reading Comprehension (Skimming and Scanning)

　　Part III Listening Comprehension

　　Section A

　　11.

　　M: I left 20 pages here to copy. Here is the receipt。

　　W: I'm sorry, sir. But we're a little behind. Could you come back in a few minutes?

　　Q: What does the woman mean?

　　答案：C. She has not got the man's copies ready。

　　解析：本题考的是文化场景，出现了copy 等词，还是比较基础的。原文中男生想出示收据来拿复印材料，然后女生说“ we're a little behind. ”(我们动作稍落后)意思就是还没复印好。

　　12.

　　W: I hope you're not too put out with me for the delay. I have to stop by friends' home to pick up a book on my way here。

　　M: Well, that's not a big deal. But you might at least phone if you know you're going to keep someone waiting。

　　Q: What do we learn about the woman from the conversation?

　　答案：B. She was late for the appointment。

　　解析：生活类场景题。注意对"be put out with sb"(对……生气)的理解；文中女生首先对自己的迟到表示歉意并解释原因；男生说不是大问题，但是你至少得打个电话给我。因此，我们知道女生迟到了。

　　13.

　　W: Mark is the best candidate for chairman of the student union, isn't he?

　　M: Well, that guy won't be able to win the election unless he gets some majority vote from women students. And I'm not sure about that。

　　Q: What does the man mean?

　　答案：C. It won't be easy for Mark to win the election。

　　解析：对话属于学习类场景，出现了majority , student union,和 candidate等相关词汇。考点在于对话中的肯定与否定类，即前面一个人提出观点，后面一个人采取‘取非’的态度；文中第一人说Mark是学生会主席的不二人选，而第二人则说除非Mark获得了大多数女生的选票，否则是赢不了的，因此还不能确定。

　　14.

　　M: Sorry to have kept you waiting, Madam. I've located your luggage.It was left behind in Paris and won't arrive until later this evening。

　　W: Oh, I can't believe this. Have it deliver to my hotel then , I guess。

　　Q: What happened to the woman's luggage?

　　答案：A. It failed to arrive at its destination in time。

　　解析：考短对话常考场景，旅游场景，其中hotel , luggage 等单词可帮助学生直接定位；第一个人(估计是工作人员)对旅客道歉说行李被落在巴黎了，要到深夜才能送到。旅客说这让让她难以置信，然后要求就把行李送到宾馆。由此可知，女士的行李还没有到达目的地。

　　15.

　　W: I don't think we have enough information for our presentation, but we have to give it tomorrow. There doesn't seem to be much we can do about it。

　　M: Yeah, at this point we 'll have to make do with what we've got。

　　Q: What does the man suggest they do?
