　　【參考答案及解析】

　　1.False 理解推斷題。錄音中提到“When Henry turnedtwenty-one，he waslegally allowed to vote, but in Davidson County in l941，blacks could notvote.”，意思是：當(dāng)亨利滿 21 歲時，從法律上他有權(quán)參加選舉。但是 1941年在戴維遜郡，黑人還是不能參加選舉。題干所表述的內(nèi)容不符合原文意思，

　　根據(jù)原文不能推斷出 l941 年在美國黑人沒有選舉權(quán)。

　　2.False 細(xì)節(jié)信息題。錄音中提到“One night，after he had turned twenty-one，Henry put his father and five otherpeople in his father’s Model A Ford and drove to the house of the votingregistrar.”，意思是：在他滿 21 歲后，一天晚上，亨利開著父親的福特 A 型車，載著父親和其它五個人，驅(qū)車來到了選舉登記員的家里。理解 thehouse of the voting registrar 是本題的解題關(guān)鍵，意思是“選舉登記員的家中”。題干中描述的是亨利駕車到了法院參與選舉與此不符。

　　3.True 理解推斷題。錄音中提到“The registrar wasprepared for this. Hesaid the literacy regulation required that Henry be ableto read the Constitution of the United States….Henry picked it up and read it.Theregistrar looked at Henry and realized he had no choice.”，意思是：登記員對此早就作了準(zhǔn)備，他說讀寫能力規(guī)則要求亨利必須能讀懂美國的憲法……亨利拿起就讀。登記員看著亨利，意識到他已別無選擇。由此可以推斷出登記員本來是決定不把黑人的名字加入選舉名單的，但亨利符合條件，所以他也沒有辦法。題干使用的時態(tài)是過去完成時，表示過去的打算，因此是正確的。

　　4.True 虛擬語氣題。錄音中提到“He said the literacyregulation required that Henry be able to read the Constitution of theUnited States.”，意思是：他(登記員)說讀寫能力規(guī)則要求亨利必須能夠讀懂美國的憲法。本句中是虛擬語氣，省略了情態(tài)動詞 should，表示應(yīng)具有的能力，因此題干的表達(dá)是正確的。

　　5.True 理解推斷題。錄音中多處提到了這樣的信息，如“I believeyou ought to register these folks. They’re able to read. Not all of your folkscoming in here can read.”， 意思是：我認(rèn)為你應(yīng)該為這些人注冊登記，他們都能夠閱讀。并不是所有到這兒來的白人都能夠閱讀。由此可以推斷出，只有有讀寫能力的人才能取得選舉權(quán)，題干的表達(dá)是正確的。

　　6.False 細(xì)節(jié)信息題。錄音中提到“He was the firstblack to register inthe county.”，意思是：在這個郡，他是第一個注冊登記選舉權(quán)的黑人。原文并沒有提到題干所描述的“亨利是這個郡第一個投票的黑人”，因此本題是錯誤的。

　　7.True 理解推斷題。錄音中提到“The second was hisfather，becauseHenry would not leave until his father’s name，and the names of the five others，were put in the book.”，意思是：第二個是他的父親，因?yàn)橹挥兴�父親的名字和其他五個人的名字被登記在冊后，他才會離開。由此可以推斷出，那一晚亨利的父親和其他五個人也都注冊了投票選舉權(quán)，因此題干的表達(dá)是正確的。

　　8.False 理解推斷題。錄音中提到“…Henry brought morepeople to the courthouse，where he faced a different clerk who refused to register the people.Henry told him，‘Ibelieve you ought to register these folks.They’re able to read. Not all ofyour folks coming in here can read.’”，意思是：亨利帶了更多的人到法院，他見到了一個不同的職員拒絕為這些人注冊。亨利告訴他“我認(rèn)為你應(yīng)當(dāng)為這些人注冊登記，他們都能夠閱讀。并不是所有到這兒來的白人都可以閱讀”。由此可以推斷出，亨利帶來的人是會閱讀的，而且登記員是不能拒絕會讀寫能力的人進(jìn)行登記的，因此題干的表達(dá)是錯誤的。

　　9.True 理解推斷題。錄音中提到“Not all of yourfolks coming in here can read.”，意思是：并不是所有到這兒來的白人都能夠閱讀。理解 your folks 是本題的解題關(guān)鍵，而且 your folks 指的就是和登記員他們一類的歧視黑人的人，也即是白人。由此可以推斷出題干的表達(dá)是正確的。

　　10.False 理解推斷題。錄音中提到“Henry got the peopleregistered.”，意思是：亨利使這些人都登記注冊了。這些人指的是亨利帶去注冊的人，而題干將原文的所指范圍擴(kuò)大到了整個郡的黑人，因此是錯誤的。

　　【錄音原文】

　　When Henry turnedtwenty-one, he was legally allowed to vote, but in Davidson County in 1941,blacks could not vote. One night, after he had turned twenty-one, Henry put hisfather and five other people in his father’s Model A Ford and drove to thehouse of the voting registrar. He said they were there to put their names inthe voting book. The registrar was prepared for this. He said the literacyregulation required that Henry be able to read the Constitution of the UnitedStates. He placed a copy on the table. Henry picked it up and read it. Theregistrar looked at Henry and realized he had no choice. He entered Henry’sname in the book. He was the first black to register in the county. The secondwas his father,

　　because Henry would not leave until his father’s name, and thenames of the five others, were put in the book. That was not enough.The next dayHenry brought more people to the courthouse, where he faceda different clerkwho refused to register the people. Henry told him, “I believe you ought toregister these folks. They’re able to read. Not all of your folks coming inhere can read.” For the first time the county government encountered a man whowould not budge from his belief in his rights. Henry got the people registered.B.

　　A. He usuallystarts working without breakfast.

　　B. He likes toeat a lot for breakfast.

　　C. He doesn’teat a lot for breakfast.

　　D. He prefers something else in the morning to a big breakfast.

　　【答案】B

　　【解析】比較結(jié)構(gòu)題。錄音中提到“There is nothing I like better to get me started in the morningthan a big breakfast.”，此句中出現(xiàn)了 nothing better than 結(jié)構(gòu)，這是個特殊比較結(jié)構(gòu)，用的雖是比較級但表達(dá)最高級的含義，意為“沒有比……更好的了”。此句的意思是：沒有什么比一頓豐盛的早餐，更能讓我有良好開端的。由此可以推斷出他喜歡豐盛的早餐，因此答案為B。A 項(xiàng)意思是“他經(jīng)常不吃早餐就開始工作”;C 項(xiàng)意思是“他早餐吃得不多”;D 項(xiàng)意思是“比起豐盛的早餐，他早上更喜歡別的東西”。

　　【錄音原文】

　　There isnothing I like better to get me started in the morning than a big breakfast.

　　12.What is the speaker’s problem?

　　A. He knowsnothing about engineering.

　　B. He wants to postponethe presentation.

　　C. He neverspoke to high school students before.

　　【答案】D

　　【解析】理解推斷題。錄音中提到“I am speaking to a group of high school students about engineeringthis afternoon. But I have no idea how I am going to simplify some of theconcepts for them.”，意思是：今天下午我要給一群高中生就工程學(xué)的內(nèi)容做演講。但是我不知道如何為他們簡化一些概念。由此可知說話者還沒有為演講做好準(zhǔn)備，因此答案為 D。A 項(xiàng)意思是“他對于工程學(xué)一無所知”;B 項(xiàng)意思是“他想要把演講往后推遲”;C 項(xiàng)意思是“他以前從來沒有給高中生做過講演”。

　　【錄音原文】

　　I am speakingto a group of high school students about engineering this afternoon. But I haveno idea how I am going to simplify some of the concepts for them.

　　13.Why will the speaker make the call?

　　【解析】原因結(jié)果題。錄音中提到“I don’t remember the assignment off hand, but I’ve got it writtendown at home. How about if I call you tonight?”，意思是：我現(xiàn)在不記得作業(yè)，但是我在家里寫下來了。我晚上給你打電話怎么樣?題干的問題是“說話者為什么要打電話”，由此可知是為了告訴別人作業(yè)是什么，因此答案為 A。選項(xiàng) B、C、D 的表述都不全面。

　　【錄音原文】

　　I don’tremember the assignment off hand, but I’ve got it written down at home. How aboutif I call you tonight?

　　14.Which of the following statements istrue about Sara?

　　A. She rarely makesmistakes.

　　B. She makes known what she thinks.

　　【答案】B

　　【解析】是非判斷題。錄音中提到“You know Sara. If she has an opinion，everyone has got to know it.”，意思是：你知道薩拉的，一旦她有了個想法，每個人就都會知道的。所以只有 B 選項(xiàng)的表述是正確的，即“她讓別人知道她的想法”。

　　【錄音原文】

　　You know Sara.If she has an opinion, everyone has got to know it.

　　15.What did Dave do?

　　A. He lost histemper for no reason at all.

　　B. He leftwithout saying a word.

　　【答案】A

　　【解析】同義替換題。錄音中提到“What’s wrong with Dave today? He snappedfor no reason.”，意思是：今天戴夫怎么了?他無緣無故地大發(fā)脾氣。理解 snap 的意思是本題的解題關(guān)鍵。此處 snap 指惡聲惡氣地說;聲色俱厲地說。因此 A 選項(xiàng)的 lose his temper(發(fā)脾氣)與原句中的 snap 意思接近，可以進(jìn)行替換。所以答案為 A。

　　【錄音原文】

　　What’s wrongwith Dave today? He snapped for no reason.

　　【錄音原文】

　　I didn’t catchthat point. I must have dozed off for a minute.

　　17.What will the speaker probably do?

　　B. He will quitthis job.

　　【錄音原文】

　　My boss keepsasking me to work overtime but I always say no because I don’t want to jeopardizemy studies. But I’m starting to waver.

　　【錄音原文】

　　Kevin’s newhaircut really complements his beard.

　　20.What does the speaker say about theinternational festival?

　　【錄音原文】
