1、精选优质文档-倾情为你奉上上面排2009年专业四级考试真题2009年真题答案详解PART IDICTATIONNew Years EveFor many people in the west, /1New Years Eve is 2the biggest party of the year. /Its time 3to get together with friends or family / and welcome in the coming year. /New Years parties can take place 4in different places. /5Some peopl
2、e 6hold a house party; /5others attend street parties, /5while some just go for a few drinks with their friends. /Big cities have large and 7spectacular fireworks displays. / There is one thing that all New Years Eve parties 8have in common, /9the countdown to midnight. /When the clock strikes 12, p
3、eople give a loud cheer and sing songs. / Its also popular to 10make a promise in the New Year. /This is called a New Years resolution. / 11Typical resolutions include giving up smoking and keeping fit. /However the promise is often broken quite quickly / and people are 12back into their bad habits
4、within weeks or days.【听写提示】第一遍听音时掌握主题，记录关键词New Years Eve，party，这样易于把握与主题相关的friends，family，resolution等词。1New Years Eve为专有名词，首字母需要大写。2biggest party之间不完全爆破，注意此处的形容词最高级。3get together之间不完全爆破，根据语法知识可判断其前面有to。4听到前面的different即可判断places为复数形式。5平时多积累一些句型结构，诸如Some others while some 6a由于与hold连读不易听出，但由其后的party为单数
5、形式可推断出来。7注意spectacular的拼写，firework通常用其复数形式fireworks。8按语义逻辑来听写，就不会把have in common写成having come on。9the countdown to midnight不容易听清，随后的数字信息有助于判断。10make a promise注意不要丢掉冠词。11由giving up smoking and keeping fit也可推测需写成resolutions。12back into连读，利用语法知识判断就不会写成backing to或back in to。PART II LISTENING COMPREHENSI
6、ONSECTION A CONVERSATIONSConversation 1【听前预测】由题干中的关键词Mark，unhappy，Linda，advice可预测，Mark可能遇到了不开心的事，Linda在向他支招。【听力原文】W: Hi, Mark. How are you?M: Actually, 1Im really fed up, Linda. Its Jane.W: Jane? Who is Jane?M: No, nobody really. 1Just a more stunningly attractive girl in my years school.W: Oh, is t

You could invite her.M: Just another small problem. 23Johns her boyfriend.【答案解析】1. Mark is unhappy be
9、cause of【解析】选B。Mark一开始说到他烦死了，是为了一个叫Jane的女孩，可见Mark烦恼的原因是Jane，而后面又提到Jane是一个stunningly attractive girl in my years school，因此答案选B。【点睛】对话中的fed up是题干中unhappy的近义词。2. Which of the following is CORRECT?【解析】选C。浏览四个选项可知，搞清人物关系是解题关键。录音尾处提及Johns her boyfriend，这里的her指代Jane，所以C项正确，为答案。【点睛】预览选项时，也需要一定的技巧，才能“化简为繁”。本
10、题前三项分别是关于Linda,Mark,John与Jane的关系；最后一项讲的是Mark和John的关系。3. Did Mark eventually take Lindas advice?【解析】选A。注意题干中的eventually。录音中Linda向Mark先后提出与Jane谈话、帮助Jane完成化学家庭作业都被Mark否决，最后Linda提出邀请Jane参加John家的聚会，而Mark说John是Jane的男朋友。由此可知，Mark对Linda提出的建议一项也没采纳，故答案为A。Conversation 2【听前预测】从各题干中获得关键词scratch，product，shop ass
11、istant，customer，complaints，exchange并据此推测，该篇对话发生在店员和顾客之间。顾客购买的商品出现了问题，来向店员投诉。【听力原文】W: Yes, can I help you?M: Yes. You see I bought this personal stereo at your shop three days ago. And Im afraid it hasnt really matched up to what I was told about it.W: I see. What exactly is the matter?M: 46Well, fir

How are we to know that it wasnt you who made
13、 the scratch?M: Thats ridiculous.

And it is really embarra
14、ssing on the bus and underground.W: Well Im sorry but it must be the way youre wearing the headphones.M: 5Look, I know how to put the earphones in my ears. Thank you very much. But what I want to know is what youre going to do about it all?W: Well, 7I suppose we could exchange it for another model i
15、f you really are unhappy with it.M: No, I certainly am not.W: Well, 7if I could just have the receipt.M: Ah, yes. Well, there is a slight problem about the receipt.【答案解析】4. About the scratch on the product, the shop assistant thinks that【解析】选C。抓住题干关键词scratch，听音时留意一下店员对scratch的解释。店员认为顾客在购买随声听时，就应该注意到
16、划痕；并说检查物品是顾客的责任。由此可知，答案选C。 【点睛】C是对原文信息的简化。5. The customer was _when told he might not have worn the headphones properly.【解析】选A。听音重点是顾客听到店员说他不会戴耳机后的反应。由男士提到的Look, I know how to put the earphones in my ears. Thank you very much.可以推测，他对店员竟然认为他不会戴耳机感到很恼怒，所以正确选项为A。 【点睛】A可以从顾客说话的语气和内容中推测出来。6. How many com
17、plaints did the customer make about the product altogether?【解析】选D。由第4题和第5题可知，男士买的商品有刮痕和漏音问题，所以听录音时要注意除了这两个是否还有其他问题。而录音中未提到其他问题，所以答案为D。7. The shop could exchange the product if the customer【解析】选B。根据常识可知，拿发票才能换商品，故答案有可能选B。对话结尾店员表示可以给顾客以旧换新（exchange）,条件是拿到发票（if I could just have the receipt），答案得到了验证。Co
18、nversation 3【听前预测】预览各个选项可以推测，Joe Smith为了一次午餐的事宜打电话给Victoria。【听力原文】W: Hello, Happy Time Catering Services, Victoria speaking. How can I help you?M: Hello, Victoria. This is Joe Smith from Country Holidays. 8I wondered if you could do some catering for us next week. Were having a small reception. Its

22、 this week.M: Ok.【答案解析】8. Joe Smith telephoned Victoria for【解析】选C。Joe Smith一开始就表明了打电话的意图，下周将举行一个小型招待会（a small reception），询问Victoria能否能提供饮食（do some catering）。由此可知他打电话是为了一场招待会，所以答案选C。9. When will the lunch be held?【解析】选A。浏览选项可知，时间是听音重点，故听音时应针对性地做些笔记。Joe Smith首先提到活动于下周举行，然后在Victoria问到具体时间时回答，April 21st
23、 it should be Friday.。故答案为A。10. All the following information is new to Victoria EXCEPT【解析】选D。先预览四个选项，当录音提到每个选项时，注意与此选项相关的信息。根据Joe Smith提到的You did something similar for us last year. Wed be happy to have the same menu again.以及Victoria 提到的Right, Ill look up my diary and see what you had last time可知，这
24、次的菜单同去年的一样，故D为答案。SECTION B PASSAGESPassage 1 【听前预测】由题干和选项中的关键词post-Christmas shopping和sales可以推测，该篇短文讲述圣诞节过后商品大减价促销，人们争相购物的情景。【听力原文】For shopholics, the post-Christmas period means only one thing sales!

29、捕捉与London相关联的信息。12. We learn from the passage that【解析】选A。根据录音中提到的人们在商店开门之前就排起长队、甚至在店外露营的情景可以看出人们对大减价商品趋之若鹜，故A项正确。录音中提到3.30am是开始在Next服装店排队的时间，而非减价活动开始的时间，排除B；录音中提到减价活动开始于节礼日（Boxing Day）12月26日，一直持续到1月份，排除C；录音开篇就提到减价范围包括衣服、电子产品以及家中陈设品等等，排除D。13. Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the passage?【解析
30、】选D。录音中明确提到一些人和朋友一起购物，并且在减价活动中买一些自己想要的圣诞礼物，A正确；接下来一句online retailers are also getting in on the act说明一些人在网上购物，B正确；由录音最后一句可判断C正确；D中better post-Christmas sales无法推断，答案为D。Passage 2【听前预测】从各题干中获得关键词 Ballroom dancing，used to，recent popularity，TV show并据此推测，该篇短文涉及到交际舞过去和现在的受欢迎程度以及与它紧密关联的一套电视节目。【听力原文】14Ballro
31、om dancing used to be seen as something rather unfashionable that old people might do. 15For the past five years though, the popularity of ballroom dancing has soared thanks to a reality TV show.

32、ch the show which airs 16from September right up to Christmas. In the show a number of professional ballroom dancers each dance with a celebrity.

Ballroom dancing used to be associated with【解析】选B。注意题干线索词used to。根据录音一开始提到的Ballroom dancing in the UK
35、used to be seen as something rather unfashionable that old people might do可知，以前只有老年人才跳交际舞，所以交际舞是和老年人联系在一起的，答案为B。其余三项与ballroom dancing也有联系，但却是近五年来的变化，与题干不符。15. According to the passage, recent popularity of ballroom dancing is the result of【解析】选D。本题的听音重点是交际舞最近受欢迎的原因。录音中明确提到近五年交际舞盛行是因为电视真人秀（reality TV

37、现场表演，排除C；由此确定答案为A，录音中只提到了名人们衣着华丽（wear colourful dresses and suits），而没有提到是否必须穿着正式。17. According to the passage, the TV show has the greatest impact on【解析】选C。注意题干关键词greatest。录音第一句提到，过去在英国，交际舞被认为是老年人才会参与的一项过时的活动，而由于一档电视节目的热播，现在不仅仅是老年人对交际舞感兴趣，许多孩子和20多岁的年轻人也热衷于学习，因此这档电视节目对kids and young people影响最大，答案选C。P
38、assage 3【听前预测】由题干关键词rules，naming children，unusual names可以预测，该篇短文涉及到父母为孩子取名的问题。【听力原文】Recently, a couple in New Zealand were forbidden from naming their baby son 4Real. 18Even though New Zealand has quite liberal rules about naming children, names beginning with a number are not allowed. They decided

43、了地点New Zealand。录音中提到“姓名不能以数字开头”，所以C中的2win在新西兰不能作为名字，答案选C。19.

All of the following countries
44、have strict rules about naming children EXCEPT【解析】选A。抓住题干中的strict rules，我们捕捉到stricter rules when it comes to naming children. 随后录音结尾处提到了日本、德国、阿根廷，只有阿尔及利亚未提到，所以答案为A。SECTION C NEWS BROADCASTNews Item 1【听前预测】由题干中的关键词fishing crew，stranded，survive，three months，rescued可预测，该新闻涉及渔船船员受困三个月最终获救的事。【听力原文】Eleven

The center called rescuers and helicopters were sent to take the eleven to the regional capital.【答案解析】21. Why were the fishing crew stranded on Oct. 10th?【解析】选B。题干提到了事件发生的时间10月10日，所以听音重点是捕捉渔船船员在当时遭遇了什么事。录音中提到8男3女乘坐的小船在10月10日碰撞后，他们在一个废弃的军事基地避难（took refuge）。因此渔船船员陷入困境的原因是渔船触礁，答案为B。22. How did they survive during those three months?.【解析】选C。浏览题干和选项可知，听音时应留意捕捉这些船员在受困的三个月靠吃什么维持生命。录音中提到他们靠废弃基地上残存的面粉和食用油为生，
