　　答案解析

　　Section A(1-8)

　　1. W: I can’t seem to reach the tea at the back of the cupboard.

　　M: Oh…Why don’t you use the ladder? You might strain your shoulder.

　　Q: What does the man suggest the woman do?

　　【答案解析】B 對話中，女士說她夠不到櫥柜里的茶葉，說明茶葉擺放的位置對女士來說有點高。男士以“為什么不用梯子呢?”回應(yīng)，可見，男士是建議女士use the ladder去reach the tea。B選項屬于對話內(nèi)容再現(xiàn)，因此正確。

　　2. W:Since it’s raining so hard, let’s go and see the new exhibits.

　　M:That’s a good idea. Mary Johnson is one of my favorite painters.

　　Q:Where does the conversation most probably take place?

　　【答案解析】D 通過對話中女士說的 “雨很大”和“去看新的展覽”推斷，地點應(yīng)該在室外，即D選項中的Outside。且男士提到“my favorite painters”，D選項的art gallery正好與之對應(yīng)，因此正確。

　　3. M:I hear the students gave the new teacher an unfair evaluation.

　　W:It depends on which students you are talking about.

　　Q:What does the woman imply?

　　【答案解析】B 女士說要取決于是哪些學(xué)生，這是對男士所說“給新老師的評估不公正”的回應(yīng)，說明女士對于男士的說法有異議，并非所有學(xué)生都如此。B選項的does not quite agree是對女士話語的合理推斷，因此正確。

　　4. W:It must have taken you a long time to fix up all these book shelves.

　　M:It wasn’t too bad. I got Doris to do some of them.

　　Q:What does the man mean?

　　【答案解析】C 對話中男士說道“I got Doris to do some of them”，這里的do和them是避免用詞重復(fù)，指代 上句女士所說的“fix up”和“bookshelves”。C選項正是對男士話語的合理推斷，因此正確。

　　5. W:Rod, I hear you’ll be leaving at the end of this month. Is it true?

　　M:Yeah. I’ve been offered a much better position with another firm. I’d be a fool to turn it down.

　　Q:Why is the man quitting his job?

　　【答案解析】D 女士就離職一事向男士發(fā)問時，男士給出了肯定答案“Yeah”，且補充說道“I’ve been offered a much better position…”。D選項的found與對話中been offered對應(yīng)，a better position是對話內(nèi)容的再現(xiàn)，因此D選項正確。

　　6. W:I honestly don’t want to continue the gardening tomorrow, Tony?

　　M:Neither do I. But I think we should get it over with this weekend.

　　Q:What does the man mean?

　　【答案解析】A 男士以“But”表明客觀情況是“我們應(yīng)該在周末前完成”，顯而易見，做園藝的時間并不寬裕，A選項是對男士話語的合理推斷，因此正確。

　　7. W:You’ve already furnished your apartment?

　　M:I found some used furniture that was dirt cheap.

　　Q:What do we learn from the conversation?

　　【答案解析】D 對話中男士說“我找到了一些很便宜的二手家具”。D選項的bought對應(yīng)句中found，inexpensive對應(yīng)cheap，是對該句的同義轉(zhuǎn)述，因此D選項正確。

　　8. W:Has the mechanic called about the repairs?

　　M:Not yet. I’ll let you know when he calls.

　　Q:What do we learn from the conversation?

　　【答案解析】B 對話中女士問道“Has the mechanic called…”，男士以“Not yet”回答，并補充道“I’ll let you know when he calls”，說明the mechanic沒有打電話過來，且女士想要接到the mechanic的電話。換言之，女士一直在等the mechanic的電話，B選項正是對這一情況的合理推斷，故為正確答案。

　　Section C

　　Among the kinds of social gestures most significant for second?language teachers are those which are identical in form but different in meaning in the two cultures. For example, a Colombian who wants someone to approach him often signals with a hand movement in which all the fingers of one hand, cupped, point downward as they move rapidly back and forth. Speakers of English have a similar gesture though the hand may not be cupped and the fingers may be held more loosely, but for them the gesture means goodbye or go away, quite the opposite of the Colombian gesture. Again, in Colombian, a speaker of English would have to know that when he indicates height he must choose between different gestures depending on whether he is referring to a human being or an animal. If he keeps the palm of the hand parallel to the floor, as he would in his own culture when making known the height of a child, for example, he will very likely be greeted by laughter; in Colombia this gesture is reserved for the description of animals. In order to describe human beings he should keep the palm of his hand at a right angle to the floor. Substitutions of one gesture for the other often create not only humorous but also embarrassing moments. In both of the examples above, speakers from two different cultures have the same gesture, physically, but its meaning differs sharply.

　　26.【答案解析】identical 空格出現(xiàn)在由which引導(dǎo)的定語從句中。從句的主語為關(guān)系代詞which，系動詞為are，空格和different由but連接作并列表語。由此推斷，空格處很可能填入一個形容詞，且與different表意相反，即意為“相同的”。

　　27.【答案解析】approach 空格位于who引導(dǎo)的定語從句中。該從句的主語為關(guān)系代詞who，謂語動詞為wants，賓語為someone，空格與其前面的to和后面的him一起構(gòu)成動詞不定式結(jié)構(gòu)，作賓語補足語。由此推斷，空格處應(yīng)為及物動詞(詞組)原形。

　　28.【答案解析】back and forth 空格出現(xiàn)在由as引導(dǎo)的時間狀語從句中。其中they作主語，move作謂語，rapidly作狀語。分析句意可知，they指代“finger”，因此move為不及物動詞。由此推斷，空格處作狀語，可能是副詞(詞組)、介詞短語、動詞不定式短語、分詞(短語)等形式。

　　29.【答案解析】opposite 空格所在句是一個由but連接的并列句�？崭袼�在的分句二主謂賓結(jié)構(gòu)完整，空格所在部分與分句二以逗號隔開，作狀語。鑒于空前是定冠詞the，空后是介詞of，本空應(yīng)該填入一個具有名詞性質(zhì)的詞(組)。

　　30.【答案解析】indicates 空格位于when引導(dǎo)的時間狀語從句中，該從句缺少謂語。由于從句主語he為單數(shù)，且整篇文章以一般現(xiàn)在時為基礎(chǔ)，空格處應(yīng)填入動詞(詞組)的第三人稱單數(shù)形式。

　　31.【答案解析】referring to空格所在的 whether引導(dǎo)的賓語從句中，主語是he，系動詞是is，空格處作表語。此外，由空格后的名詞短語可知，本空可能為現(xiàn)在分詞(短語)、過去分詞(短語)或“形容詞+介詞”等形式。

　　32.【答案解析】parallel to 空格出現(xiàn)在If引導(dǎo)的條件狀語從句中，且從句主謂賓結(jié)構(gòu)完整。結(jié)合上下文語境分析，空格處應(yīng)作賓語the palm of the hand的補足語。此外，考慮到空格后有名詞floor，形式可能是介詞詞組、形容詞詞組、分詞(短語)等。

　　33.【答案解析】reserved 分析句子結(jié)構(gòu)可知，空格可能在句中作表語，也可能與is構(gòu)成現(xiàn)在進行式或被動語態(tài)，共同作謂語。由此可知空格處可能填入名詞、形容詞、現(xiàn)在分詞、過去分詞等。

　　34.【答案解析】at a right angle 空格所在句主謂賓結(jié)構(gòu)完整。分析發(fā)現(xiàn)，本空與32題的空格處句型一致，所填詞同樣充當the palm of his hand的賓語補足語。因此本空應(yīng)該也是描述手掌的位置，故需要填入一個表方位的詞(組)，其形式可能是介詞詞組、形容詞詞組、分詞(短語)等。

　　35.【答案解析】embarrassing 分析后可知，空格所在句主謂賓結(jié)構(gòu)完整。not only…but also連接humorous與本空構(gòu)成并列結(jié)構(gòu)。由此推斷，所填詞很可能與humorous一樣為形容詞，共同作moments的定語。
