2010年6月大學英語四級聽力考試模擬試題(11)

　　答案及解析：

　　Section A

　　11. W: Look at the mess! And the guests will be here soon!

　　M: Take it easy. I’ll make sure the house is spotless.

　　Q: What does the man mean?

　　【解析】選[A]。男士說他肯定會讓屋子干干凈凈的，也就是他會打掃屋子的，選項[A]符合題意。spotless意為“一塵不染的，干凈的”。選項[B]、[C]誤解了對話中的take it easy。

　　12. M: Is the next game going to be held at our stadium or theirs?

　　W: Do you really think it will make much of a difference with a losing record like ours?

　　Q: What does the woman imply?

　　【解析】選[C]。女士說對我們這樣一直保持失敗記錄的隊伍來說，比賽在什么地方舉行有很大不同嗎?言下之意是他們的隊伍終將失敗，也就無所謂在什么地方舉行比賽了，故選項[C]符合題意。

　　13. M: Mum, I got a part-time job at the supemp3arket. Three hours a day weekday and all day Saturday.

　　W: Congratulations!But are you sure you can handle it? What about homework?

　　Q: What’s the woman worried about?

　　【解析】選[B]。母親第一次使用疑問語氣，反映出她對兒子能否兼顧工作和學習的擔心。第二次疑問則突出反映了她對兒子學習的憂慮，故選[B]。

　　14. W: You see, there are too many people here. Let’s go to some other places.

　　M: All right. But cold weather in December cannot keep people away from the busy shops.

　　Q: What does the man mean?

　　【解析】選[B]。女士說這里人太多了，到其他地方去看看吧。男士說，沒問題，但是12月的冷天也不能阻擋人們來這些熱鬧的商店，言下之意是盡管12月的天氣很冷，逛商店的人仍然會多，故選項[B]符合題意。

　　15. W: Your exam is over, isn’t it? Why aren’t you cheerful?

　　M: Oh, I don’t know. It isn’t that the questions were too hard, but I always feel uneasy when the exam doesn’t seem to have much to do with the book.

　　Q: What was the man’s opinion of the exam?

　　【解析】選[B]。在but后男士提到試卷與書的聯(lián)系不大時，他就總覺得不安。選項[B] 是對此的同義轉述。對話提到...it isn’t that the questions were too hard, 意思是這些問題其實并不難。由此可以排除選項[A]、[D]。[C]項中time(考試時間)在對話中沒有提及。

　　16. W: What do you think of the movie?

　　M: It was worth neither the time nor the money.

　　Q: What does the man mean?

　　【解析】選[B]。“neither...nor...”結構是對兩個內容的否定，也就是說時間和錢花得都不值，言外之意就是這部電影根本不值得一看。

　　17. M: Good afternoon. I’m Mr. Jackson. I answered your ad for an experienced advertising executive.

　　W: Oh, yes, Mr. Jackson. Won’t you have a seat? The manager will see you shortly.

　　Q: What do we learn about Mr. Jackson?

　　【解析】選[D]。男士來應聘廣告上說的有經(jīng)驗的廣告主管職位。女士說經(jīng)理馬上就會見他。關鍵詞是experienced(有經(jīng)驗的)、see you(會見)，另外前面的ad指報紙上的招聘廣告，后面的advertising executive指的是廣告主管職位，選項[D] 符合題意。

　　18. M: Excuse me, would you please tell me when the next flight to Los Angeles is?

　　W: Sure. The next direct flight to Los Angeles is two hours from now, but if you do not mind transferring at San Francisco you can board now.

　　Q: What can we learn from the conversation?

　　【解析】選[D]。the next flight、direct flight(直達航班)、transferring(轉機，換乘)構成了“在機場咨詢航班情況”的特定場景。由女士所說的if you do not mind transferring at san Francisco you can board now可知答案為[D]。

　　Conversation One

　　W: Can I help you?

　　M: Yes, I’m looking for a book on the presidential election system in the United States.

　　W: Well, all of our textbooks are arranged by subject and course number in the back of the store. Is this a required text for one of the University’s political science courses?

　　M: No, it isn’t. I’ve already looked through all the political science books in the back, but the ones I saw only had a few pages, at most, on the topic.

　　W: How about the paperback section? There may be something there.

　　M: Okay.

　　W: Or better yet, you should try looking in Books in Print.

　　M: I’ve never heard of that. What is it?

　　W: It’s an index that lists all of the books currently available from publishers. If you have a specific book in mind, you can look under the author’s last name.

　　M: But I don’t.

　　W: Then look directly under your subject, presidential elections.

　　M: What happens if I find a book I want?

　　W: Well, if it’s not in stock, we can order it for you.

　　Questions 19 to 21 are based on the conversation you have just heard.

　　19. What is the man looking for?

　　【解析】選[B]。男士說“I’m looking for a book on the presidential election system...”，后來說到“I’ve already looked through all the political science books”，由此可以推斷，a book on the presidential election system屬于the political science books。因此，他要尋找的是[B] A political science book。
