Section B Passage One William Shakespeare was christened in the market town of Stratford on Avon, Warwickshire, on April 26,1564; traditionally, his actual birthday was three days earlier, on St. George’s day, the same day as his death fifty-two years later. His father, John, was a respected middle-class trader, and his mother, Mary Arden, came from a family of local landowners. It seems probable that young William received a fair education (for his day) at the local Grammar School; at the age of eighteen he married a girl eight years older than himself, Anne Hathaway, who gave him a child the following year and twins in 1585. Little else is known of his early life, and so we cannot tell what made him decide to leave Stratford in 1586 for London, where he stayed until 1611. In London he must soon have attracted attention, because by 1592 he was a popular enough writer and actor to be laughed at by an older dramatist as an uneducated Jack of all trades. He is mentioned as being among the principal actors of the city as early as 1598, and in 1599 we find that he is a member of the company running the Globe Theater, with one-tenth interest in the profits-showing a business sense rarely seen in his fellow writers. His popularity is indicated by the fact that not only were his own plays published under his name, which was a rare procedure in his day, but also plays by others are to be found attributed to him, as if to indicate that his name alone would promise a good sale. 11.When did William Shakespeare die? 12.When did Shakespeare and his wife have their first child? 13.Which one can we infer from the article? 14.Which of the following is true?
Passage Two Centuries ago, during the Middle Ages, most of the land in Europe was owned by many different kings and queens, princes and princesses, and lords and ladies. They did not all get along. They were always fighting. They all wanted to get more land. To protect themselves, they started building huge homes out of stone. They called their homes castles. A castle was built behind a strong stonewall. The wall was five or six feet thick and ten to twenty feet high. A deep ditch called a moat was dug around the outside of the wall. It was often filled with water, and the only way anyone could enter the castle was to cross a drawbridge. The drawbridge could be raised or lowered over the moat from inside the castle walls. There was also a tunnel that began in the castle and ended at the moat. This was important in case the castle was captured. It allowed the king and queen to escape. They could swim across the moat and hide in the forest. Living in a castle was not very comfortable. The rooms were cold and damp. Every room could have a fire burning in a great fireplace, but until the twelfth century castles did not have chimneys. The smoke from their fireplaces had to go out through open doors and windows. Meals often had ten or twelve courses. The meat might be wild boar or birds that were boiled or roasted over an open fire. All the food was highly seasoned. People even put pepper in their drinks! The people sat at a long table and ate with their fingers and a knife, all picking their food from the same big dish. They had no napkins. Therefore, they often wiped their hands on pieces of bread. When their fingers were clean, they threw the bread to their hunting dogs. 15.Which of the following statements is NOT true about castles? 16.What can be inferred from the people’s eating habit in a castle? 17.What is the main topic of this passage? Passage Three Years ago before there were refrigerators, an icehouse was a building used for storing ice. The first icehouses were in the cellars of farmhouses. Pieces of ice, mixed with snow and meadow grass, were piled in winter and kept until the following summer. Soon farmers began to build separate houses for storing ice. These icehouses had double walls with bay stuffed between to keep out any heat. Blocks of ice were put inside the icehouse and packed with straw or sawdust. Where did the ice for these icehouses come from? Workers took it from a frozen pond or river. They sawed the ice into even blocks. Then they pulled the ice blocks from the water with hooks and carried them to the icehouses on sleds. Special tools helped the workers cut and handle the ice. Ice axes chopped large holes in the ice. Ice saws cut the ice into even blocks. Choppers loosened these blocks from one another. Ice hooks fastened themselves into the large blocks. Then they could be carried over the frozen surface of the pond or river. Tongs were used to pick up the smaller blocks of ice. Ships carried ice all over the world. In 1799 the first boatload in the United States was sent from New York City to icehouses in New Orleans, Louisiana. A boatload was sent from Boston, Massachusetts, to the West Indies to help fight yellow fever in 1805. Ice merchants in Boston also shipped tons of ice from ponds and rivers to cities in Europe. 18.Which of the following is NOT mentioned as a step for farmers to store ice in icehouses? 19.Which of the following statements is NOT true? 20.Which of the following is the correct order in which workers cut and handle ice? 听力答案与详解 Part ⅠSection A 1.【答案】A。 【试题分析】听辨事实题。 【详细解答】女士问男士有没有通信地址，男士说他大都在山上露营，她可以把信寄到他叔叔家，叔叔会帮他保留信件。根据这个对话，正确答案是A。 2.【答案】C。 【试题分析】听辨事实题。 【详细解答】女士说自己感到计算机课程中的理论知识很难，男士则说理论对他来讲不难，难的是如何将理论应用于程序。由此说明答案是C。 3.【答案】D。 【试题分析】词义辨析题。 【详细解答】男士问女士在半夜听到奇怪的声音会怎么办，女士说首先听听这个声音会不会再次出现，如果会，就起床看看究竟发生了什么事。这说明该女士很勇敢，四个选项分别是cowardly-胆怯地；curious-好奇地；lazy-懒惰的；courageous-有胆量的，勇敢的。答案应该是D。 4.【答案】D。 【试题分析】听辨事实题。 【详细解答】男士问女士是否已经预定了9点的机票，女士认为他要乘8点的那一班，说现在再改也晚了。由此可见是女士误解了男士，因此选择答案D。 5.【答案】B。 【试题分析】听辨事实题。 【详细解答】女士说自己在哲学课上学到了许多，并问男士是否在该系选听了课程。男士说只是去年选听过一门，从那以后就没再听过。关键是男士的答语None since then.（从那以后再也没听别的），说明答案是B。 6.【答案】B。 【试题分析】听辨事实题。 【详细解答】女士说门票是每人90美元，看一场展览这个价太贵了，男士说如果你有学生证30美元就够了。因此答案是B。 7.【答案】A。 【试题分析】判断推理题。 【详细解答】男士请女士张大嘴巴并告知哪里疼，女士说这儿疼，特别是咬热或冷的东西时。根据这样的对话判断他们在谈论牙痛，男士是牙医，所以答案是A。 8.【答案】D。 【试题分析】名词词义辨析题。 【详细解答】男士请女士为他提供螺丝刀，一盒各种型号的螺丝，以及一个小型门锁。由此可见他们不在车库（garage），也不在仓库（warehouse），也不在艺术品商店（art supply store），而是在五金店（hardware store），所以答案是D。 9.【答案】C。 【试题分析】听辨事实题。 【详细解答】男士说自己这学期攻读的课程太多了，需要停读一门，女士建议他要停修课程需要按照正规渠道（go through the proper channels）。答案C（Follow the official procedure.）正合此意。 10.【答案】D。 【试题分析】听辨事实题。。 【详细解答】男士说卡尔在暑假里做那家公司的顾问挣了许多钱，女士在认可的同时问男士快要开学了他怎么还在那儿上班呀。根据女士的话，判断答案是D。 Section B Passage One 内容概要: 本段听力材料讲的是著名文豪莎士比亚的生平事迹。听记好其中的重要时间事件是做好各题的关键。他生于1564年4月23日，于52年后的同一天去世。他的剧作极具声望，许多人甚至将自己的作品署上他的名字发表。 11．【答案】D。 【试题分析】细节考察题。 【详细解答】根据第一段的开头几句话William Shakespeare was christened in the market-town of Stratford on Avon, Warwickshire, on April 26 1564; traditionally, his actual birthday was three days earlier, on St. George’s day, the same day as his death fifty-two years later. 得知他生于1564年4月23日，52年后即1616年后的同一天去世，所以答案是D。 12．【答案】C。 【试题分析】细节考察题。 【详细解答】根据文中的...at the age of eighteen he married a girl eight years older than himself, Anne Hathaway, who gave him a child the following year...得知他们1582年结婚，次年得子，答案应是C。 13．【答案】C。 【试题分析】细节考察题。 【详细解答】本题可用排除法。根据文章的前半部分，得知大家对莎士比亚的早期生活了解一些，排除A。再根据文中的句子如Little else is known of his early life....
