　　注意：此部分試題請在答題卡2上作答。

　　11.A)He has proved to be a better reader than the woman。

　　B)He has difficulty understanding the book。

　　C)He cannot get access to the assigned book。

　　D)He cannot finish his assignment before the deadline。

　　先從預(yù)覽選項上看，A可以首先排除，后三項都在說有困難做某事/不能怎樣，而A明顯與后三不搭，再根據(jù)男女原則，the man也不可能是比這個女人更好的閱讀者。聽錄音，關(guān)鍵詞BUT, 明顯是考察轉(zhuǎn)折關(guān)系的變化，關(guān)注BUT 后的部分，是全題的提問關(guān)鍵。

　　12.A)She will drive the man to the supermarket。

　　B)The man should buy a car of his own。

　　C)The man needn’t go shopping every week。

　　D)She can pick the man up at the grocery store。

　　A&D基本說的是一個意思，都是這個女人開車載這個男人到某處(賓語可以關(guān)注，同時也可預(yù)測到這是個開車去購物的場景題)；注意男人的 I’d be happy to 和女人的why don’t … 成鮮明對比，主要考察反問句式

　　13.A)Get more food and drinks。

　　B)Ask his friend to come over。

　　C)Tidy up the place。

　　D)Hold a party。

　　首先預(yù)覽選項可以推斷出這是個和朋友開聚會的場景題(因為要準備吃的喝的，邀請朋友和收拾房間)，但是聽時較難，不易聽出。主要聽關(guān)鍵詞和句，第一句男人的mess in here和后面女人的you’ll be doing most of today可判斷出正確答案�？疾炻犼P(guān)鍵詞和句然后判斷

　　14.A)The talks can be held any day except this Friday。

　　B)He could change his schedule to meet John Smith。

　　C)The first-round talks should start as soon as possible。

　　D)The woman should contact John Smith first。

　　首先B選項可以排除，按照“辦事情不順利原則”B明顯不是正確答案。“schedule”的發(fā)音雖然不熟悉，但是我相信在預(yù)覽選項時考生們應(yīng)該注意到了這一點，能夠較易聽出；本題考察了other than (除了)和 one day is as good as the next(哪天都一樣)的短語搭配結(jié)構(gòu)，注意as good as 連讀了。

　　15.A)He understands the woman’s feelings。

　　B)He has gone through a similar experience。

　　C)The woman should have gone on the field trip. (應(yīng)該繼續(xù))

　　D)The teacher is just following the regulations。

　　應(yīng)用了虛擬語氣“if I were you”這同樣也表達了男人的觀點，考察虛擬語氣的建議句型

　　16.A)She will meet the man halfway。

　　B)She will ask David to talk less。

　　C)She is sorry the man will not come。

　　D)She has to invite David to the party。

　　又是考察轉(zhuǎn)折關(guān)系的題， 注意BUT后就是此題的關(guān)鍵，答案往往就在BUT后，而且注意到the woman重讀了insist, 更是此題的重中之重。

　　17.A)Few students understand Prof. Johnson’s lectures。

　　B)Few students meet Prof. Johnson’s requirements。

　　C)Many students find Prof. Johnson’s lectures boring。

　　D)Many students have dropped Prof. Johnson’s class。

　　看到選項中的lecture\ Professor\student 就能判斷是學(xué)校場景中跟教授講座有關(guān)的題目

　　18.A)Check their computer files。

　　B)Study a computer program。

　　C)Make some computations。

　　D)Assemble a computer。

　　依然是出現(xiàn)了轉(zhuǎn)折性詞BUT, 但是BUT 后較難聽出答案，反而是第一個人的話能比較容易聽出：put a computer together before (Assemble a computer=組裝電腦)，這句和D選項基本吻合，吻合程度越高的選項成為正確選項的可能性就越大；再聽Q是問這兩個說話者在談?wù)撌裁�，所以第一個人的話就可以判斷出答案了

　　和往年四級聽力短對話理解題難度基本持平，還是重點考察了轉(zhuǎn)折、建議、反問、虛擬語氣等句型。

　　Questions 19 to 22 are based on the conversation you have just heard。

　　這個人初入職場，以談話的形式在講述他的第一份工作。注意對話的首尾，各出了一題：開頭3輪對話回合都在談?wù)搕he man 的工作時間長短問題“①What sort of hours do you work?\Well I have to work very long hours, about 11 hours a day；②What time do you start?\I work 9 to 3~~~;③And do you have to work at the weekend?\ Yes, that’s ~~~”； 結(jié)尾出現(xiàn)了和選項相符的短語“Attention to detail”。20題A選項可以直接排除，這是個明顯的體力工作，幾乎沒有腦力、智力方面的工作；B選項顯然概括不全，因為他除了在廚房洗刷的工作外，還有別的陳述；C選項壓根沒有提及這種情況，所以D選項是概括出的正確答案

　　19.A)It allows him to make a lot of friends. (這個it 肯定是使這個人往好的方面發(fā)展了)

　　B)It requires him to work long hours。

　　C)It enables him to apply theory to practice。

　　D)It helps him understand people better。

　　20.A)It is intellectually challenging。(后三項說體力上的工作，A項說是智力上的挑戰(zhàn)，A可直接排除)

　　B)It requires him to do washing-up all the time。

　　C)It exposes him to oily smoke all day long。

　　D)It demands physical endurance and patience。

　　21.A)In a hospital。

　　B)At a coffee shop。

　　C)At a laundry。

　　D)In a hotel。

　　22.A)Getting along well with colleagues。(B\C\D都是對這個工作的感受或心得；A指的是人際關(guān)系，)

　　B)Paying attention to every detail。

　　C)Planning everything in advance。

　　D)Knowing the needs of customers。

　　Questions 23 to 25 are based on the conversation you have just heard。

　　此對話兩人對著數(shù)據(jù)表(table of figure)在談?wù)撛谟�國的兒童的零用錢問題(pocket money)。依舊是首尾各出一題。23題B選項可以直接排除，因為大量的children & pocket money關(guān)鍵詞的頻頻出現(xiàn)，根本不會是在說每年的英國通貨膨脹率。24題A 選項也可直接排除，通過預(yù)覽可以猜測出it在B\C\D情況中不是up就是down；而“Why do you think the rise in pocket money is often higher than inflation?\Perhaps parents in Britain are generous”是24題的答案關(guān)鍵，generous也是四級高頻詞匯。通過預(yù)覽可以猜測出25題pocket money 的用處，所以the woman在結(jié)尾處的兩個提問逐步引出25題：“if you had children, how much pocket money would you give them?\And would you expect them to do with it?”，這時考生需要引起注意了，the man 接著就回答時說了“to buy some personal things”，25題C選項是干擾項

　　23.A)The pocket money British children get。(B和其他三項不搭，可以排除)

　　B)The annual inflation rate in Britain。

　　C)The things British children spend money on。

　　D)The rising cost of raising a child in Britain。

　　24.A)It enables children to live better。(A和其他三項不搭)

　　B)It goes down during economic recession。

　　C)It often rises higher than inflation。

　　D)It has gone up 25% in the past decade。

　　25.A)Save up for their future education。

　　B)Pay for small personal things。

　　C)Buy their own shoes and socks。

　　D)Make donations when necessary。

　　Section B

　　Directions: In this section, you will hear 3 short passages. At the end of each passage, you will hear some questions. Both the passage and the questions will be spoken only once After you hear a question, you must choose the best answer from the four choice marked A)，B)，C) and D). Then mark the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 2 with a single line through the centre。

　　注意：此部分試題請在答題卡2上作答。

　　Passage One

　　Questions 26 to 29 are based on the passage you have just heard。

　　篇章類題目還是需要關(guān)注文章開頭3句和結(jié)尾3句，這兩處是最易出題并且喜歡以原文出現(xiàn)答案。26題，開篇第一句就出示了答案：“Alex Gordon was looking forward to his first meeting with the company’s district managers”；30題第二句：“If your complaint is immediate, suppose you got the wrong order at a restaurant, make a polite but firm request to see the manager�！�，后面還有幾句在繼續(xù)說這個問題，如果這句沒聽出來，可根據(jù)后面的意思也能猜測出答案，如：“Be polite. Shouting or acting rude will get you nowhere�！�；33題開頭第三句：“before Barbara had children, she worked as an architect for the government�！薄Ａ硗�，篇章1將近結(jié)尾處出現(xiàn)“Half of our managers are women�！� 既是28題答案。篇章2結(jié)尾處也出現(xiàn)了“Be business-like and stick to the point. Don’t spend a paragraph on how your Uncle Joe tried to fix the problem and couldn’t”作者亦指出投訴要抓住要點，不要長篇大論。

　　“聽到什么選什么原則”除了上面的26、28、30、32、33之外，篇章2出現(xiàn)“You are speaking to a voice coming from someone you can not see, so you can’t tell how the person on the line is reacting”，31題答案幾乎原文出現(xiàn)；篇章3中段也同樣出現(xiàn)了”If Barbara feels the need to do socially important work, he thinks that she should do volunteer work one or two days a week”， 所以34題正確答案“Do some volunteer work”。另外，35題原文中“not think…..can replace”被“is no replacement for…”替換。

　　整體篇章類沒有特別較難的題目，難度自passage one 依次遞減。三篇文章內(nèi)容雖然有趣，但是做題游刃有余還是不容易，passage one 是三篇中較難的一篇，但是由于篇頭篇尾規(guī)矩的以原文出現(xiàn)答案，降低了題目的難度。后兩篇比較貼近生活，邊聽邊看，確定哪個選項能夠最大程度的吻合。 Passage three 的話題與2006年12月份的真題 某篇章話題極為相似，再次印證了重復(fù)做歷年真題的重要性。

　　26.A)District managers。

　　B)Regular customers。

　　C)Sales directors。

　　D)Senior clerks。

　　27.A)The support provided by the regular clients。

　　Section C

When the passage is read for the second time, you are required to fill in the blanks numbered from 36 to 43 with the exact words you have just heard, For blanks numbered form 44 to 46 you are required to fill in the missing information. For these blanks. You can either use the exact words you have just heard or write down the main points in your own works. Finally, when the passage is read for the third time, you should check what you have written。

　　注意：此部分試題請在答題卡2上作答。

　　單詞部分，依舊考察了形容詞、名詞的拼寫和動名詞的使用，關(guān)鍵是由介詞引起的動詞-ing的變化，稍給題目增加些難度。36. curious, 38. independent, 39. unusual, 42. abstract 是前面系動詞引起的填寫形容詞的情況；41. formal 是形容詞來修飾后面的名詞；較難部分是37和40題，分別是介詞at 和by 引起后面動詞變-ing 的情況，如果考生還很恍惚不知怎樣填，可以看到37前and 并列的finding 和40 前and 并列的paying attention to, 就可判斷出這兩處是填寫動名詞的情況。43很顯然是填寫名詞，但是考生是否能順利聽出mystery并且拼寫正確？

　　句子部分，注意拼寫appropriately和concepts，refining不易聽出，是原型refine 的-ing形式。復(fù)合式聽力的后三句子，是聽力考試各題型中難度最高也是最能展示考生英語水平的題目，在這里還是希望同學(xué)們在掌握文都考試技巧的同時，課下多加練習(xí)，英語畢竟是能力的培養(yǎng)，我們考英語四級，也是為了證明自己的英語水平。

　　Almost every child, on the first day he sets foot in a school building, is smarter, more (36)curious,less afraid of what he doesn’t know, better at finding and (37)figuring  things out, more confident, resourceful(機敏的)， persistent and (38)independent  than he will ever be again in his schooling-or, unless he is very (39) unusual    and very lucky, for the rest of his life. Already, by paying close attention to and (40) interacting    with the world and people around him, and without any school-type (41) formal    instruction, he has done a task far more difficult, complicated and (42) abstract    than anything he will be asked to do in school, or than any of his teachers has done for years. He has solved the (43) mystery    of language. He has discovered it-babies don’t even know that language exists-and (44) and he has found how it works and learnt to use it appropriately. He has done it by exploring, by experimenting, by developing his own model of the grammar of language, (45) by trying it out and seeing whether it works, by changing (developing)it, refining it  until it does work. And while he has been doing this, he has been learning other things as well, (46)  including many of the concepts that schools think only they can teach them  , and many that are more complicated than the ones they do try to teach him。
