Passage Three

Over the years, new technologies have changed farming. Change in a general direction is a trend. Yet people often recognize trends only when they consider the past. Today, we look back at some trends in American agriculture. [32]In 1920, America had more than 25 million horses and mules. Most were used for farm work. [32]Around the same time, a competitor began to appear in large numbers. Tractors could turn soil, pull loads and speed harvests — and they could do it better. More tractors meant fewer horses and mules. [33]By the 1960s, the numbers of these work animals settled to where they remain today. That is about one-tenth the levels in 1920. Yet even the demand for tractors had its limits. Their numbers have been slowly decreasing since 1982. Experts say farmers can do more with less now because of new technologies. As tractors replaced horses and mules, farmers no longer needed to raise crops to feed work animals. Oats have long been food for horses and mules. In 1954, American farmers planted over sixteen million hectares of oats. By 2000, that was down to less than one million hectares. So what did the farmers do with the extra land? More and more farmers began to plant a new crop around the same time that the tractor became popular. It was the soybean. The soybean is one of the oldest plants harvested. Yet it was not planted widely in the United States until the 1920s. By the year 2000, close to 30 million hectares were planted with soybeans. [34]It is the nation's most important crop for high-protein animal feed and for vegetable oil. [35]In fact, soybeans are the second most valuable crop grown by American farmers after corn. Much of the soybean production goes to exports.

Questions 32 to 35 are based on the passage you have just heard.

32. In which year did tractors begin to appear in large numbers?

正確答案:A

解析:短文中提到,1920年,美國用於農業生產的馬、騾數量有2500多萬,“同時一個競爭者開始大量出現。拖拉機……”意即1920年拖拉機開始大量涌現,故A正確。

33. How many horses and mules did America have in the 1960s?

正確答案:D

解析:短文說,1920年,美國用於農業生產的馬、騾數量有2500多萬,此後一路減少,到20世紀60年代,數目趨於穩定,迄今沒有變化。目前約有1920年的1/10。由此可計算出,20世紀60年代美國用於農業生產的馬、騾牲口共250多萬,故D正確。

34. What is America's most important crop for high-protein animal feed and for vegetable oil?

正確答案:B

解析:短文提到,到2000年,近3000萬公頃土地種了大豆。“它是全國最重要的高蛋白動物飼料和植物油農作物。”故B正確。聽短文答題時,要特別留意“語義強調之處”。本題"the nation's most important crop"顯然符合此語義特徵。

35. What is the most valuable crop grown by American farmers?

正確答案:A

解析:短文結尾處提到,“事實上,大豆是繼玉米之後美國農民種植的第二大最有價值的農作物。”可見最有價值農作物是玉米,答案是A。答題方法與上題一樣。對於文中語義強調的內容要有所辨別,最後才能按聽到的問題答題。若能聽記most valuable這語義要點,本題就容易了。

Section B

Passage One

Television now plays such an important part in somany people's lives that it is essential for us to tryto decide whether it is a blessing or a ously television has both advantages anddisadvantages. But do the former outweigh thelatter? In the first place, television is not only aconvenient source of entertainment, but also a comparatively cheap one. They just sitcomfortably at home and enjoy endless series of programs rather than to go out in search ofamusement elsewhere. Some people, however, maintain that this is precisely where the dangerlies. The television viewer needs to do nothing. [26]He is completely passive and haseverything presented to him without any effort on his part. Secondly, television keeps oneinformed about current events, allows one to follow the latest developments in science andpolitics. Yet here again there is a danger. The television screen itself has a terrible, almostphysical fascination for us. [26]We get so used to looking at its movements, so dependenton its pictures that it begins to dominate our lives. There are many other arguments for andagainst television. [26]The poor quality of its program is often criticized. But it is undoubtedlya great comfort to many lonely elderly people. And does it corrupt or instruct our children? [27]I think we must realize that television in itself is neither good nor bad. [28]It is the uses towhich it is put that determine its value to society.

Questions 26 to 28 are based on the passage you have just heard.

26. Which of the following is NOT mentioned as the disadvantages of TV?

正確答案:A

解析:本文分析電視的利弊,它帶來益處的同時也有潛在的弊端。文章分別提到,觀看電視是被動接受的行爲(即B),它使人產生依賴性(即C),有些電視節目質量太差(即D)。未提到的弊端是A,故選A。此外,A“看電視會導致生理疾病”的說法聞所未聞。這是對原文中almost physical fascination“幾乎有生理上的迷戀”的曲解。換言之,有些選項可據常識加以判斷。

27. What is the speaker's opinion of television?

正確答案:D

解析:短文結尾處,作者在給出了正反觀點後,給出了中允的觀點:“我想我們必須認識到,電視本身無所謂好壞。”即D正確。C太絕對,可以排除;A、B針鋒相對,D則不偏不倚。根據短文中作者的口吻,他是持中立態度的,應選D。本題可以“聽到什麼選什麼”。

28. What determines the value of television to society?

正確答案:C

解析:文章最後說:電視本身無所謂好壞,人們使用它的方式決定了它對社會的價值。C與此同義。A(電視機的價格)、D(觀看電視的人數)與全文中心無關,可以排除;B在文中有所提及,是某個細節,屬於答非所問。

W: Okay. Let's check this again. Okay, Mr. CharlesC. Nelson for tonight...

W: Okay. Let me check this again. Oh. Okay. Here we are. Charles Nelson. A room for one forthe 19th...

M: Wait, wait! It was for tonight. Not tomorrow night.

W: Hum. Hum. I don't think we have any rooms for tonight. [24]There's a convention goingon in town, and uh, let's see. Yeah, no rooms. Well. We do have some rooms under renovationwith just a roll-away bed. None of the normal stuff like a TV or working shower or toilet.

M: Ah. Madam. I should get a discount for the inconvenience.

W: Well. [25]The best I can give you is a ten percent discount plus a ticket for a freecontinental breakfast.

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

23. What was the first problem with the man's reservation?

正確答案:A

解析:男士在入住酒店時,遇到了一系列難題:首先,他自報家門時,服務員把他和另一個同名同姓的人搞混淆了;其次,他原訂的這一天的房間沒有了,第2天才有房間;第三,其他房間也都已訂滿,只有正在裝修中的臨時房。本題問他遇到的第1個問題,故選A。本對話前面開頭部分一直在說人名。聽到有關name,mistake,problem,have two guests under the name即可確定答案。

24. Why was it hard to get a room that day?

正確答案:C

解析:女士在解釋房子緊張的原因時說,“我想我們今晚是沒房子了。城裏正在開一個會……”conference即convention之義,故C正確。A、C句型一致,區別在conference和marathon(馬拉松長跑)上;B“幾乎所有酒店都在翻修”顯然不合常理;D中的時間在對話中未提及。

25. What did the man get finally?

正確答案:B

解析:女士查到有人取消訂房,那是一個蜜月套房,每晚需250美元。男士表示要住這個套房,但要求打折。女士說:“我最多給你打9折,另外再免費送一張歐洲大陸式早餐用餐券”。可見男士最後得到的是以225美元住一晚蜜月套房,並獲得免費的西式早餐。故B正確。
