W: This street is in a 25-mile-per-hour speed zone, you know.
M: It is?
W: In this state, the speed limit in residential area is 25 unlessotherwise posted. [19] Besides, there are signs all along this street.

W: What do you mean?

construction going on. I turned on to a side street and ended uphere. Give me a break. I'm nervous enough as it is.

【解析】題干問為什么女交警認(rèn)為男士應(yīng)該能注意到限速標(biāo)志。在對(duì)話中女交警提到，州政府的規(guī)定是除非特殊告知，在住宅區(qū)域的限速是25千米，小時(shí)，而且在路的兩旁都有標(biāo)示牌。故選C。對(duì)話中的along this street被替換成為along the road。

結(jié)論：本題考查對(duì)男士情況的判斷。
【解析】由對(duì)話內(nèi)容可以判斷，男士并沒有注意到路邊的限速標(biāo)示牌，也沒有意識(shí)到自己在超速行駛，因?yàn)樗贿呴_車一邊在想待會(huì)兒要面試的事。可見D正確。男士是在去參加面試的路上，因此A錯(cuò)誤。對(duì)話中雖然提到“speedometer(速度計(jì))”，但并沒有提到男士的速度計(jì)壞掉了，B也可排除。男士要面試的地方在艦隊(duì)街，并不是說他住在艦隊(duì)街，所以C也不正確。
21．B
【聽前預(yù)測(cè)】
1．四項(xiàng)均以she開頭，均含有the man。
2．三項(xiàng)含有與處罰有關(guān)的詞匯(took away…license，warning，speeding ticket)。
結(jié)論：本題可能與女交警對(duì)男士的處罰有關(guān)。
【解析】由于男士即將參加一個(gè)面試，因此女交警只給予他警告處分，告訴他無論行駛在熟悉的還是不熟悉的道路上，都要注意看車的速度計(jì)。故選B。

結(jié)論：本題可能考查與某人遇到的與校園生活有關(guān)的煩惱。

Passage Two
【聽力原文】
[29] Corn was one food that dominated the food-growing activitiesof those early American Indiantribes that relied on farming for food. The earlyfarmers, or the American Indians, planted lots of varieties of corn, includingthe kind of corn that we eat today as popcorn. The corn was prepared indifferent ways. It could be eaten fresh from the field; sometimes it wasboiled; sometimes the corn was roasted or parched. E301 But most of the cornwas dried on the cob, and later it was ground into flour. The advantage of thismethod was that the dried corn could bc stored for long periods of time withoutspoiling. The American Indians harvested the corns twice, the first harvest wasthe green corn or sweet corn harvest. This harvest was accompanied by aceremony of
thanksgiving. The farmers thought that this celebration wouldprotect the farmers from disaster. The final harvesting of the ripe corn andthe harvest ceremony took place about six weeks later. During this harvesting,the farmers pulled back the husks of corn and braided them together. Bigbundles were prepared this way and were dried for use later on throughout thewinter. [31] After the corn was eaten, these farmers used the dried husks tomake all sorts of different things like mats, moccasins (軟拖鞋), dolls and ceremonial masks.
29. What is the main subject of this talk?
30. According to the speaker, how was most of the corn prepared?
31. After the farmers ate the corn from the second corn harvest,what did they do with the husks?
【整體預(yù)測(cè)】
快速瀏覽各題選項(xiàng)，根據(jù)corn、planting、harvest、prepare、boiled、dried、braided(編成辮)、steamed、husk(外皮)推測(cè)，短文與玉米的種植、收獲和食用方式有關(guān)。具體細(xì)節(jié)需在聽音中進(jìn)一步分析。
29．A
【解題思路】四項(xiàng)均為名詞短語，雖有三項(xiàng)都提及corn，但各個(gè)選項(xiàng)相互之間關(guān)聯(lián)度不高，又由于本題為該短文的題，因此很有可能考查短文的主題。
【解析】短文句說道：“玉米是早期的美洲印第安部落主要依賴的一種農(nóng)作物”，接下來短文介紹了印第安人如何食用和儲(chǔ)存玉米，一年收獲幾次，玉米皮還可以用來做什么等等。因此選項(xiàng)A“美洲印第安人與玉米”地概括了短文主題。
30．C
【解題思路】
1．四項(xiàng)均以it was開頭。
2．四項(xiàng)均含有表示加工方法的動(dòng)詞(boiled，dried，braided，steamed，ground，roasted，wrapped)。
結(jié)論：it指玉米，聽音重點(diǎn)應(yīng)放在對(duì)玉米的加工方式上。
【解析】題干問大部分的玉米是被如何加工的。短文提到，大部分的玉米被留在穗棒上晾干，然后被磨成粉，這種方法的優(yōu)點(diǎn)就是干燥的玉米可以儲(chǔ)存更長時(shí)間而不腐壞。故選C。
31．D
【解題思路】
1．四項(xiàng)均為句子，均提到they和them。
2．四項(xiàng)的謂語均表示加工方式(braided，bundled，used，made)。
結(jié)論：根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容及前面幾題可知，they可能指人，them可能指玉米。
【解析】題干問：當(dāng)農(nóng)民們吃完了第二次收獲的玉米之后，他們用玉米皮(husks)故什么?預(yù)測(cè)和實(shí)際情況有一些出入，選項(xiàng)中的them不是指玉米，而是玉米皮，但這種預(yù)測(cè)的誤差并不影響聽力理解和做題。文章結(jié)尾提到：“Afterthe corn was eaten，these farmers used the dried husks tomake all sorts of different things like mats，moccasins，dolls and ceremonial masks．(當(dāng)玉米被吃完之后，農(nóng)民們用干燥的玉米皮做威各種物品，如：墊子、軟鞋、玩偶以及各種儀式上使用的面具等等。)”故選D。

Passage Three
【聽力原文】
Today, I would like to begin by discussing early Europeansettlement along one of our well known rivers --the Hudson, which empties intothe Atlantic to form New York bay. [32]The Hudson river has a couple ofinteresting physical features that made it very attractive for settlement bythe Europeans. [33] The first is that the river extends inland from theAtlantic Ocean for more than 150 miles with no waterfalls or rapids. Itssurface is virtually fiat for that entire distance, with no obstacles. Second,[34] the whole 150 mile stretch is influenced by tides from the Atlantic Ocean.Roughly every six hours, the river reverses direction, flowing north when thetide is rising and south toward the ocean when the tide is going down.Obviously there were no obstacles to prevent settlers from moving furtherupstream on the Hudson river, and this explains why the Dutch penetrated so farinland. They were the first Europeans to settle in the Hudson valley. Ofcourse, to go upstream, the Dutch settlers needed the right kind of boat, andso to navigate the river, they designed a sloop with only one mast but with twosails, one rigged in front of the mast and one behind. [35] The mast was verytall, in many cases over 100 feet tall, so that the large sails could catchwinds blowing above the shore line hills. Hudson river sloops carriedpassengers and cargo. The cargo ranging from coal, lumber and hay to fruit,vegetables and livestock. Travelling only ten miles an hour in a good wind, thesloop was not too speedy by modern standards, but it was ideally suited to theDutch settlement, and in fact when the steam boat eventually was introduced, itcouldn't keep up with the sloop.
32. What attracted the Europeans to the Hudson river area?
33. What is the characteristic of the first 150 miles inland onthe Hudson river?
34. How do tides from the Atlantic Ocean influence the Hudson river?
35. According to the speaker, why did Hudson fiver sloops havetall .masts?
【整體預(yù)測(cè)】
快速瀏覽各題選項(xiàng)，根據(jù)shipbuilding、river、climate、rapids、waterfalls、wind、navigation、storms、riverboats、waves、current、flow、tide、sails等關(guān)鍵詞推測(cè)，該短文可能與河流有關(guān)，此外還會(huì)談到河流的通航、水流、河上的風(fēng)、船上的帆等等。具體細(xì)節(jié)需要進(jìn)一步分析各個(gè)選項(xiàng)。
32．B
【解題思路】
1．四項(xiàng)均為以the開頭的名詞短語，但從后兩項(xiàng)來看，并不像是考查主旨的題目。
2．兩項(xiàng)含有與優(yōu)點(diǎn)有關(guān)的詞匯(strength，abundance)。
結(jié)論：本題可能是問某種優(yōu)勢(shì)，具體內(nèi)容可能與河流有關(guān)。
【解析】題干問是什么吸引歐洲人來到了哈德遜河流域。文章開頭處提到：“哈德遜河因其自身具有的某些有趣的自然特征吸引了歐洲人來此區(qū)域定居。”選項(xiàng)B中的physical features為原詞復(fù)現(xiàn)，故選B。
33．A
【解題思路】
1．四項(xiàng)均為句子，其中兩項(xiàng)以there開頭。
2．兩項(xiàng)含有與航行有關(guān)的詞匯(navigation，riverboats)。
3．三項(xiàng)含有與自然條件有關(guān)的詞匯(rapids，waterfalls，wind，storms)。
結(jié)論：問題可能涉及航行與自然條件的關(guān)系，需留意該河流有什么樣的特征。
【解析】短文中提到：這條河流自大西洋向內(nèi)陸延伸150多英里，沒有任何瀑布和湍流，河面全程都非常平靜，沒有任何障礙。選項(xiàng)A中的rapids or waterfalls與文中相比只是兩詞調(diào)換了順序。故選A。
34．C
【解題思路】
1．四項(xiàng)均為句子，其中兩項(xiàng)以the river開頭。
2．四項(xiàng)均含有與河水的流動(dòng)有關(guān)的詞匯(big waves，current，flows，high tides)。
結(jié)論：需留意河水的流動(dòng)具有什么特征。
【解析】短文中提到：哈德遜河150英里的全流域都受到大西洋潮汐的影響。幾乎每隔6個(gè)小時(shí)，河水就要反向倒流，當(dāng)漲潮的時(shí)候，河水向北流，當(dāng)落潮的時(shí)候，河水向南流。可見，河水的流向在一天之內(nèi)要變換幾次，故選C。
35．B
【解題思路】
1．四項(xiàng)均為以to引導(dǎo)的不定式短語，表目的。To后面所接的動(dòng)詞中，兩項(xiàng)為allow，一項(xiàng)為catch，一項(xiàng)為add。
2．兩項(xiàng)提及sails(風(fēng)帆)。
結(jié)論：本題可能與做某事的目的有關(guān)，需留意與風(fēng)帆有關(guān)的信息。
【解析】短文中部指出：The mast was very tall，in many cases over100 feet tall，so that the large sails could catch windsblowing above the shore line hills．為了適應(yīng)哈德遜河特殊的水文環(huán)境，荷蘭人設(shè)計(jì)了一種單桅帆船，這種船有一桅兩帆，一帆在桅前，一帆在桅后，很多時(shí)候，桅桿高達(dá)100英尺，這樣就可以利用到從岸旁的山頂上吹過來的風(fēng)。故選B。

Because fast food has become so cheap,[45] it has driven familiesin particular away from independent restaurants and pubs to the fast foodchains.""Families want to know what they are getting. And [46] withthe likes of McDonald's or KFC they know it is a consistent experience and goodvalue."
