专四英语TEM-4听力试题分析[4]
14. M:“不知道今晚我可以带我女朋友去哪吃晚饭。”
F:“你们去没去过学校附近的那家中国餐馆?”
本题要求判断两者的关系。我们可以用排除法。M要带女朋友吃饭,所以他与F不可能是夫妻的关系,而且这又是个比较私人的问题,所以不太可能发生在上下级(教授与学生)之间,这样的对话也不象是顾客和招待员之间的用语,最有可能发生在平等的同事或朋友之间,所以D为答案。
15. F:“你用过上个月买来的帐篷吗?”
M:“是的,用过。上周五我们去野营了,尽管天气不好我们呆在温暖干爽的帐篷里过得很愉快。”
本文的问题是上周五的天气如何。虽然M的回答里没直接说明天气如何,但他说在帐篷里又温暖又干燥,而不管天气怎么样;in spite of 表示转折关系,暗示外边的天气与里面形成了对比,即又冷又潮湿,所以答案为B。
16.M:“你难道不劝说你丈夫戒烟吗?”
F:“我劝的。但不管我跟他说什么,他都当耳旁风。“
根据F的回答,她虽然劝她丈夫戒烟,但她丈夫对于她的话是左耳进右耳出,也就是说不听从她的规劝,所以B为答案。
in (at) one ear and out (at) the other: 左耳进右耳出
persuade sb out of sth (doing sth) 相当于 persuade sb not to do sth: 劝说某人放弃,不去做
反之: persuade sb into doing sth 或 persuade sb to do sth:连哄带劝使某人干某事。
17.F:“你好,我卧室里的水管漏水了。你能否尽快来修一下?”
M:“那要看我什么时候能完成办公大楼的下水道工作了。”
根据对话内容推测M的职业。如果抓住关键词pipe,drains,就知道M是个跟水管﹑下水道打交道的人,那么据此判断,他应是A:管道工。
SECTION C NEWS BROADCAST
18. 细节内容测试题。从文中可直接找到线索,得出正确答案A。
19. 测试全文主要内容的理解。答案为B。
20. 对新闻全体内容的概括总结。全文围绕着两年中工业增长率的下降,以具体数据进行比较,所以答案为A。
21. 目的测试题。根据新闻的首句推测,应为A。
22. 有关时间的测试题。根据文中“ as it taxied down(飞机起飞前或降落后的滑行)”提示,答案应为C。
23. 关于人数的细节测试题。从文中首句可找到答案D。
24. 关于原因的细节测试题。根据文中最后一句,可知原因是C。
25. 细节内容测试题。原文中“…there is a great need for economic recovery…”可提供线索,得出答案为C。
