　　Directions:

　　This section is designed to test your ability to understand spoken English.

　　You will hear a selection of recorded materials and you must answer the questions that accompany them. There are two parts in this section, Part A and Part B.

　　Remember, while you are doing the test, you should first put down your answers in your test booklet. At the end of the listening comprehension section, you will have 3 minutes to transfer your answers from your test booklet onto your ANSWER SHEET 1.

　　If you have any questions, you may raise your hand. Now as you will not be allowed to speak once the test is started.

　　Now look at Part A in your test booklet.

　　Part A

　　You will hear 10 short dialogues. For each dialogue, there is one question and four possible answers. Choose the correct answer—A, B, C or D, and mark it in your test booklet. You will have 15 seconds to answer the question and you will hear each dialogue ONLY ONCE.

　　Test One試題詳解

　　Section Ⅰ

　　Part A

　　1. [B]本題的干擾項很能迷惑人。經(jīng)仔細(xì)地聽，會知道第二說話人是意大利人 (I am Italian.), 所以她來自意大利 (Italy)。

　　2. [C]對話中說“這家商店的夾克質(zhì)量好”，而“另一家商店的便宜”。第二說話人認(rèn)為另一家商店的便宜，說明她中意于那家商店的。故選C。

　　3. [A]第一說話人向第二說話人打聽時間，第二說話人沒手表，并建議他去問那邊那位女士。因而答案是A。

　　4. [C]本題出現(xiàn)了“cotton”, “wool”, “nylon”這些干擾詞，但是關(guān)鍵只有兩句話“Are those made of cotton more expensive?” “Yes, that's right. ”聽懂了這句話，問題便迎刃而解了。

　　5. [B]這是一道態(tài)度題。對話開始時第二說話人顯然有點生氣，說話也是諷刺的口氣。后來聽了第一說話人的道歉，第二說話人也就原諒了他。

　　6. [D]本題的關(guān)鍵在于理解“the sooner the better”的含義，即越快越好，故選D。

　　7. [D]“running a temperature”即“having a fever”意思是“發(fā)燒”。

　　8. [B]“Much the same as last”：跟過去差不多。所以 Linda 的意思是：學(xué)校生活沒有太多變化。

　　9. [C]由對話中“I warned him many times, but he wouldn't listen. ”可得出答案。

　　10. [C]“Whether or not there'll even be a field trip has to be decided first”告訴我們“實地考察還有待決定”，故選C。
