Passage Two
Unlike most of the other holidays, the history of April Fool's Day is not totally clear. [29]The closest point in time that can be identified as the beginning of this tradition was in 1582, in France. Before that year, the new year was celebrated for eight days, beginning on March 25 and lasting until April 1. With the reform of the calendar under Charles IX, a new calendar was introduced, and New Year's Day was moved to January 1. However, many people did not receive the news or refused to accept the new calendar and continued to celebrate the new year on April 1. These backward folk were labeled as "fools" by the general public. They were often sent on "fool's errands" or were made the target of other practical jokes. This evolved, over time, into a tradition of joke-playing on the first day of April. [30]The tradition eventually spread to England and Scotland in the 18th century. It was later introduced to the American colonies of both the English and French. Jokes performed on April Fool's Day range from the simple (such as saying, "Your shoe's untied!"), to the elaborate. Setting a room-mate's alarm clock back an hour is a common trick. Whatever the joke, the trickster usually ends it by yelling to his victim, "April Fool!" Practical jokes are a common practice on April Fool's Day. [31]Sometimes, elaborate practical jokes are played on friends or relatives that last the entire day. The news media even gets involved. For instance, a British short film once shown on April Fool's Day was a fairly detailed documentary about "noodle farmers" and how they harvest their crop from the noodle trees. April Fool's Day is a "for-fun-only" celebration. Nobody is expected to buy gifts or to take their "significant other" out to eat in a fancy restaurant. Nobody gets off work or school. It's simply a fun little holiday, but a holiday on which one must remain forever alert, for he may be the next April Fool!
答案解析：
Questions 29 to 31 are based on the passage you have just heard.
29. When was the new year celebrated in France before 1582?
[C]解析：短文第2、3句提到：“可以被确认为愚人节传统开始之日的最切近的年份是1582年，在法国。在此之前，新年从3月25日开始，4月1日结束，共庆祝8天。”因此选C。考查细节，听到什么选什么。考虑到各选项提到的起始日期均不相同，只要听到原文中的March 25就可以正确作答。
30. When did the tradition of April Fool's Day spread to England?
[B]解析：短文提到，“该传统最终在18世纪传入英格兰和苏格兰。”故选B。由选项知，本题肯定问时间。好在文中只提到一个18th century，故本题不难解答。
31. What do we know from the passage?
[B]解析：短文中提到，“有时候，对亲友开的一些巧妙的现实玩笑会持续一整天。”B正确。由选项可推知，本题问人们在愚人节这一天会怎么做。“绝对化的选项不是答案”，因为这样的话不合事实。可以由此排除A(must太绝对)，C(usually，不见得)。本题也可以从时间副词上找到解题钥匙：sometimes不难听出;until the end of the day与last the entire day同义替换。

听力原文：
Passage One
The space shuttle Discovery has safely returned to earth after 2 weeks in earth's orbit. Discovery commander Eileen Collins guided the shuttle to an easy landing at Edwards Air Force Base in California early Tuesday. [26]American Space Agency officials described Discovery's trip as wildly successful. But they refused to say when the shuttle may fly again. The Space Agency has suspended all future shuttle flights until it can discover why a piece of hard protective material broke off from Discovery. A similar incident damaged the Columbia space shuttle in 2003. Columbia was destroyed as it reentered earth's atmosphere.
Japan has marked the 60th anniversary of the atomic bomb attack on the city of Nagasaki. The American bombings of Nagasaki and Hiroshima ended World War II. [27]Nagasaki Mayor Iccho Itoh called for a world ban on nuclear weapons. He urged Americans to ask if the United States needs thousands of nuclear arms to guarantee its security. A short time later, Prime Minister Junichiro Koizumi said he would work to keep Japan free of nuclear weapons.
[28]In Cambodia, an opposition politician has been sentenced to 7 years in prison for plotting to overthrow the government. Cheam Channy was arrested in February after the National Assembly canceled his parliamentary protection from legal charges. He denies any wrongdoing. A court found Cheam Channy and opposition member Khom Peseth guilty. Khom Peseth received a 5-year prison sentence.
Briefly, here again is the major news of the hour.
The American space shuttle Discovery has safely returned to earth.
Japan has marked the 60th anniversary of the atomic bomb attack on Nagasaki. And in Cambodia, an opposition politician has been sentenced to 7 years in prison for plotting to overthrow the government.
答案解析：
Questions 26 to 28 are based on the passage you have just heard.
26. How did American Space Agency officials describe Discovery's trip?
[B]解析：原文说，“美国宇航局官员称，‘发现号’的旅程获得巨大成功”。因此选B。本题符合“听到什么选什么”的解题原则。wildly successful原词再现，容易听取。
27. What did Nagasaki Mayor call for?
[A]解析：预读选项，全是名词选项，核心词汇是Japan，world ban，nuclear weapons/research/technology，development，suspending，推测可能问新闻的主题或细节。新闻提到，“长崎市市长伊藤一长呼吁全世界禁止核武器”，听到什么选什么，由此选A。
28. What was the charge against the two opposition politicians?
[D]解析：第三则新闻开头即称，“在柬埔寨，一位反对派因密谋颠覆政府而被判入狱7年”，因此选D。选项都说plotting，只是该“阴谋”的具体内容不同。听到新闻开头的"plotting to..."时，集中注意力，就可以听到D中的"overthrow the government"原词再现了。

听力原文：
Passage Three
[33]A new book by two professors at Pennsylvania State University compares public education systems around the world. [32]The book is called National Differences, Global Similarities: World Culture and the Future of Schooling.
David Baker and Gerald LeTendre led a group of researchers who gathered information on about 50 countries. Some findings came from the Third International Mathematics and Science Study. That study took place in 1994 and again five years later.
The professors say education is increasingly shaped by what they call "transnational forces". Officials in many countries are concerned about how their students compare with students in other countries.
Each part of the book develops a different subject researched in schools around the world. One of the subjects is violence among students. [34]The professors say countries with the most school violence include Hungary, Romania and the Philippines.
They say the United States is somewhere in the middle, above nations like New Zealand, Canada, South Korea, Spain and Australia. The findings are based on reports from students.
[35]Professor Baker says inequalities in educational systems act as an says schools that are sharply divided between "winners and losers" in math have higher levels of violence. "This does not mean that nations should stop trying to raise scores," he says. "But they should be careful to raise the performance among all students."
答案解析：
Questions 32 to 35 are based on the passage you have just heard.
32. What is the title of the book?
[C]解析：C是由短文提到的书名照搬下来的选项。四个选项都是专有名词，或者问短文的主旨大意，或者问别的什么标题。C、D的差异只在一个词上(similarities与differences)，听录音时要多注意。
33. What can we learn about the book from the passage?
[D]解析：短文第1句即提到，宾夕法尼亚州立大学的两位教授的一本新书比较了世界各地的公共教育体制。因此D正确。短文第1句往往是出题的重点。听到什么选什么。
34. Where did the study find the most school violence?
[B]解析：文中提到：“两位教授说，校园暴力最多的国家包括匈牙利、罗马尼亚和菲律宾。”因此B正确。读题可知，本题问到几个国家名称，这几个国家有着某种共同点。听录音时，可一项项“对号入座”。语义强调之处会出题，文中the most school violence成了选项的标志。
35. Which opinion would Professor Baker support?
[C]解析：短文最后说到：“Baker教授说，教育体制的不平等产生了影响。”C正确。A、B、D的观点也可以对照短文最后的内容一一排除。此外，绝对化的选项不是答案，可排除A。B、D的观点也不符合一般情理。
