　　答案分析和考点导航

　　大纲要求主要测试考生理解特定或具体信息的能力。内容为一段180~220词的独白或对话，要求考生填充表格中的空白。录音材料播放两遍。

　　题目1Major at University

　　答案出处...,but after a year she transferred to study at Barnard University,majoring in sociology.

　　标准答案、考点及解题方法sociology此题考察考生对具体信息的掌握和良好的单词拼写能力。第一题中出现了“Major at University”，我们可以知道这道题是问关于大学里主修哪个专业的问题，因此在听的时候对出现的关于专业和大学的词要非常敏感，短文的第二句话就出现了答案。由此可见，从一开始就必须得集中精力专心听。

　　典型错误及其原因

　　socioligy错误原因

　　对单词的拼写没记清楚，导致原因可能是平时对单词发音不规范。

　　PHD错误原因没听清信息的具体环境和位置，张冠李戴。

　　writing错误原因没听清具体信息，根据大意主观臆想。

　　题目2Growing Up In New Guinea Published (Year)

　　答案出处Together they wrote Growing Up In New Guinea, Published in 1930.

　　标准答案、考点及解题方法1930

　　此题考察考生对具体信息的掌握。第二题括号中提示要填写的是年份，因此在听的时候对出现的年份要特别注意，此类题型多出现许多年份用来迷惑考生，故要抓住关键词“Growing Up In New Guinea”和“Published”，仔细听。

　　典型错误及其原因

　　1942错误原因事先没有仔细审题，弄清楚数字出现的上下文环境和关键词。导致错误原因是“Growing Up In New Guinea”出现后紧接着介绍了“Balanese Character thatwas published in 1942.”

　　1928错误原因与文中信息“Coming of Age in Samoa, published in 1928”混淆。

　　1959错误原因与文中结尾“It was published in 1959.”混淆。因为大多数考生对文章结尾印象很深，故一定要对具体信息具体把握。

　　题目3Field Study in the South Pacific (Age)

　　答案出处At the age of 23,Dr.Welch undertook a field study in the South Pacific.

　　标准答案、考点及解题方法23

　　此题考察考生对具体信息的掌握。第三题括号中提示要填写的是年龄，因此在听的时候对出现的年龄数字要特别注意。

　　典型错误及其原因

　　twwentythree错误原因单词拼写错误。建议最好直接用数字表示。

　　题目4Main Interest

　　答案出处Dr.Welchs interests and writings centered on religions.

　　标准答案、考点及解题方法

　　religions此题考察考生对具体信息的掌握和良好的单词拼写能力。第四题中出现了“interest”一关键词，故听力过程中对此词应当特别注意。

　　典型错误及其原因

　　religion错误原因没有听清楚原文发音，平时应多练习单复数的发音与听写。

　　relegions错误原因对单词的拼写没记清楚，导致原因可能是平时对单词发音不规范。

　　题目5Professorship at Columbia Started (Year)

　　答案出处She was a professor of anthropology at Columbia starting in the year1954,working with her old associate Ruth Benedict.

　　标准答案、考点及解题方法1954

　　此题考察考生对具体信息的掌握。第五题括号中提示要填写的是年份，因此在听的时候对出现的年份要特别注意，要抓住关键词“Professorship at Columbia Started”，仔细听。

　　典型错误及其原因

　　1926/1959错误原因这两个年份被设置在正确答案前后，起到迷惑考生的作用。

　　标准答案、考点及解题方法cameramen/camera men此题考察考生对具体信息的掌握和良好的单词拼写能力。答案出现在文章的开头，考试时应注意对心理方面的调节。同时抓住关键词“Besides reporters”和“who else”来听。

　　典型错误及其原因my neighbors错误原因对具体信息不清楚，而导致张冠李戴。

　　camera-men错误原因缺乏对合成词的认知能力。从词性上来判断。

　　题目7One reporter got to the speakers apartment pretending to pay

　　答案出处One reporter,...,got up to my apartment after persuading the doormaninto believing that he was there on a personal visit.

　　标准答案、考点及解题方法a personal visit此题考察考生对具体信息的掌握。应抓住关键词“pretending to pay”等词，还应注意搭配：pay a visit。

　　典型错误及其原因money错误原因对具体信息不清楚，而导致主观臆断。

　　a personel visit错误原因单词拼写错误。

　　visit错误原因对此题目要求没有清楚。题目要求可以填入不多于三个词，这样填写不完全。

　　题目8The speaker believed the reporter wanted a picture of her looking

　　答案出处I was certain that he had a camera and wanted a picture of me looking depressed.

　　标准答案、考点及解题方法depressed此题考察考生对具体信息的掌握和良好的单词拼写能力。注意depressed的拼法。听是要注意细节，抓住“looking”一词。

　　题目9Where is a correction to a false story usually placed?

　　标准答案、考点及解题方法among advertisements此题考察考生对具体信息的掌握和良好的单词拼写能力。本题出现“where”这个词提示是对地点提问，因此应对涉及到地点的短语和介词特别注意。

　　典型错误及其原因among advertisement错误原因基本功不扎实，此处很明显应用复数。

　　among advertisments错误原因单词拼写错误。以后应多注意advertisement这个词的拼写。

　　题目10According to the speaker, the press will lost readers unless the editors and the news directors

　　答案出处Unless the guys at the top -the editors and the news directors-take firm action, pretty soon no one is going to believe anything they read in the papers of see on television news.

　　标准答案、考点及解题方法

　　take firm action

　　此题考察考生对具体信息的掌握。此题难度比较大，由于句子比较长又比较复杂，故该题正确率颇低。但考生不要害怕，越是难句往往答案越是简单，此处只要听懂全文写出答案就不是难事了。

　　典型错误及其原因

　　take photos错误原因没有听清正确信息，凭考生自己对短文前面内容的理解，主观臆断。

　　take for action错误原因没有听清正确信息，导致原因可能是平时练习较少，发音不规范。

　　And with all your expenses,it doesn't look like youll be able to improve thatsituation soon.

　　Do you buy a soda each weekend?Waste a day for 40 years and,when youre set

　　to retire,youll find your account is short by ,000.Grab a calculator and youll discover that,over 40 years going out to dinner twice a month at each time amounts to half a million.Even a pack-a day cigarette habit will lighten your retirement account by ,000.And the same with cable TV and those cool earrings.They will probably amount to as much as one million.

　　［B］had difficulty being promoted.

　　［C］enjoyed a happier life.

　　［D］tasted little bitterness of disgrace.

　　听力原文W:Mr. Glieberman,do you see any change in the high rate of broken marriages?

　　M:The divorce rate is beginning to level off and probably will begin to drop in the next year or two,though not significantly.The tight economy has made it moredifficult for troubled couples to handle all the costs associated with setting up separate house-holds.Also,I believe theres a comeback of thought—after theturbulent60s and70s—that the family does have value.In the midst of change and family disintegration, people seem to have a greater desire now to create stability in their lives.

　　W:What is the divorce rate now?

　　M:About 1 in 3 marriages ends in divorce,a ratio far higher than it was 20 yearsago when the philosophy was“Well tough it out no matter what.Society demands that,for appearances sake,we stay together.”

　　Divorce no longer carries much disgrace.Theres no way,for example,that Ronald Reagan,a divorced man,could have been elected President in 1960.And there are countless other divorced politicians who years ago would have been voted out of office if they had even considered a divorce, let alone gotten one.

　　The same was true in the corporate structure,where divorced people rarely moved up the executive ladder.Now corporations welcome a divorced man,because they canshift him around the country without worrying about relocating his family or making certain that they are happy.

　　W:You now have 40 seconds to check your answers to Questions 17-20.

　　答案

　　17. A18. D19. C20. B

　　答案分析和考点导航

　　17正确答案为［A］。此题考察的是考生对于文章特定信息的掌握以及对文章大意的理解能力。答案可从第一句“The divorce rate is beginning to level off and begin to drop in the next year or two ,though not significantly.”中level off和drop推断出。

　　level off的意思是“稳定下来，达到平衡”。回答这样的问题，需要考生具有良好的心理素质和一定的语言接受能力。另外，根据考生对全文的把握也可推测出正确选项。

　　18正确答案为［D］。此题考察的是考生对于细节问题的掌握。答案可从原文“In the midst of change and family disintegration,people seem to have a greater desire now to create stability in their lives.”得出。可见此题只要认真听原文，就可以直接选出答案。考生在考试时一定要以原文为依据，进行答题。平时需要加强基本功的练习。

　　19正确答案为［C］。此题考察的是考生对于细节问题的掌握。答案可从原文“Societydemands that ,for appearances sake,we stay together.”得到。For appearancessake意为“碍于面子”，所以关键词语是For appearances sake。故可以排除其他错误选项。

　　20正确答案为［B］。此题考察的是考生综合分析问题的能力。文中结尾部分就是在说这个问题，即过去离婚者所受的待遇问题。这也是以后听力考试的发展方向，即培养考生边听边理解问题的能力。文中“...The same was true in the corporate structure,wheredivorced people rarely moved up the executive ladder...”已经明确了答案。另外，对一些较口语化的句子在听力中读的语速都较快，除了仔细对此特定信息进行仔细辨听外，还应对前后语境进行揣摩，辨别作者意图。
