5、lassrooms can help boys to compete with girls.参考答案及解析：1.答案：A解析：录音中提到“Boys have scored lower than girls on tests in the National Assessment of Educational Progress since at least 1971”，意思是：至少自从1971年起男孩在全国教育进展评估的考试中的成绩就比女孩低。所以题干的说法“在过去的20年中女孩获得的成绩一直高于男孩”符合原文意思，是正确的。2.答案：B解析：录音中提到“the differences are n
6、ot limited to the United States”，意思是：这一差别（指男孩和女孩成绩之间的差别）并不是只出现在美国。题干的说法正好与原文意思相反，所以是错误的。3.答案：B解析：录音中提到“Cultural and economic influences play an important part.But recent findings suggest that another part of the answer lies in differences between the male and female brain”，由此可知对于男孩和女孩之间存在的差别，文化和经济影响
7、起了重要作用，但最近的研究结果显示另一部分原因是男女大脑的差异。此句中转折连词but后面的内容是解题的关键。所以题干的表述不全面，是错误的。4. 答案：A解析：参考上题的解析可知，男女大脑的不同是男孩女孩成绩不同的另一部分原因，而后讲话者用其余的篇幅对此作出详尽阐释和证明，如“some researchers say, boys may not be able to develop language and reading skills as well as girls do.”（一些研究人员说，男孩的语言和阅读能力可能没有女孩发展的好）。由此可推断出男女大脑的不同是男孩女孩成绩差异的主要原因
8、，所以题干的说法是正确的。5. 答案：A解析：录音中提到“boys may not be able to develop language and reading skills as well as girls do”，此句中as well as.意为“与一样好”。由此可知，男孩发展语言和阅读技能的能力也许没有女孩好。所以题干“女孩学习语言的能力强于男孩”是正确的。6. 答案：B解析：关于女孩数学和科学课的问题，原文中提到“Efforts to improve the situation for girls included hiring more female teachers”，由此可知为
9、了提高女孩在数学和科学方面的学习能力，应该雇佣更多的女教师。但是没有讲到为此已经雇佣了更多的女教师，所以题干的表述是错误的。7. 答案：A解析：录音中提到“Yet some people.say not enough male teachers is one reason why boys may not learn as well in class”，由此可知有些人认为男教师不足是男孩在班上学习没有女孩好的一个原因。此句中reason表明了原因，题干中的介词for也是表示原因的，所以题干的说法“一些人将男孩糟糕表现归咎于学校没有足够的男教师”是正确的。8. 答案：A解析：录音中提到“Some
10、 people say schools are preparing for these important tests by forcing boys to sit quietly at their desks.They say this is unfair.”，第二句中的this指上一句提到的“学校强迫男孩安静地坐在课桌前学习来准备这些重要考试”。所以题干的表述是正确的。9. 答案：B解析：录音中提到“Still others say that society is failing boys，by giving them the message that studying is not ma
11、nly”，意思是：还有其他人认为社会有负于男孩，给他们传递出学习使人没有男子气概这样的信息。此句中的介词by方式。由此可知男孩不愿学习的原因是因为社会的误导。所以题干的表述是错误的。10.答案：B解析：录音中提到“One attempt to solve problems like these is the use of same-sex classrooms.”，意思是：尝试使用男女分班制的办法解决类似问题。本题的关键是理解attempt的词义，attempt意为“企图；尝试”。所以这种办法只是一种尝试，而不一定能真正帮助男孩与女孩竞争，题干的说法是错误的。【录音原文】In April, t
12、he Manhattan Institute released its yearly study of graduation rates.The research group used information from 2003.The researchers found that 72 percent of girls successfully completed their high school education.That compared to 65 percent of boys.The newspaper Education Week noted earlier this yea

15、 of the answer lies in differences between the male and female brains.These include differences in learning rates.As a result, some researchers say, boys may not be able to develop language and reading skills as well as girls do.The last time there was a lot of concern about differences in school, i

17、n being heard involves the increased testing in American schools.Some people say schools are preparing for these important tests by forcing boys to sit quietly at their desks.They say this is unfair.Still others say that society is failing boys, by giving them the message that studying is not manly.

20、ney for shirts and ties.C.Joe had money for shirts, ties and her.D.Joe bought a shirt and a tie.答案：C解析：根据原文“Joe went to the store to buy shirts and ties, but he still had enough money for her.”，意思是：Joe去商店买了衬衫和领带，但他还有足够的钱给她。选项C的表述与原文意思一致。【录音原文】Joe went to the store to buy shirts and ties, but he stil
21、l had enough money for her.12.How did the speaker comment on Geromes speech?A.Gerome spoke last but not best.B.Gerome spoke last but the best.C.Although last, Gerome spoke fast.D.Gerome spoke at a speech.答案：B解析：根据原文“Although Geromes speech was the last one on the program, it was the best one.”，意思是：尽
22、管Gerome的演讲是节目单上的最后一个，但他的演讲是最好的一个。此句中although引导让步状语从句，选项B的but也是表示意思的转折，所以B项是正确答案。【录音原文】Although Geromes speech was the last one on the program, it was the best one.13.Which of the following statements is true according to the speaker?A.It will be in orbit on Marchl5.B.Fleas are infesting the pets.C.Y
23、ours is a position of great honour.D.March 15 is the last day to submit a petition.答案：D解析：根据原文“Please file your petitions on or before March 15.”，意思是：请于三月十五日或之前提交请愿书。本题的关键是理解file的词义，file在此处意为“提交”。由此可知D项“三月十五日是最后一天提交请愿书的时间”符和原文意思，而且选项D中submit(提交)代替了原文的file。【录音原文】Please file your petitions on or befor
24、e March 15.14.How many people came?A.Only ten people came.B.We expected 10.C.Twenty people showed up.D.We expected 20 people to come.答案：C解析：根据原文“We expected ten people, but twice as many showed up.”，意思是：我们预期会有十人来，但出现的人是预期的两倍。此句中twice as many意思是“是的两倍”。由此可知选项C“共出现了二十人”符合原文意思。【录音原文】We expected ten peop
25、le, but twice as many showed up.15.Which of the following is true?A.Alex will help you in a half hour, with your English.B.English takes about half my spare time.C.Studying English one half hour per day is good.D.Half the paper was in English.答案：A解析：根据原文“Alex will be able to help you with your Engli
26、sh assignment in half an hour.”，意思是：Alex会在半小时后帮你写英文作业。此句中English assignment是属于English的一部分，可粗略理解两词为对等关系，所以选项A符合原文意思。【录音原文】Alex will be able to help you with your English assignment in half an hour.16.Which of the following is true about the ambassador?A.He accepted an interview from the only group of
27、 the press.B.He accepted an interview from our correspondent among other journalists at the embassy.C.He accepted an interview from our journalist alone at the embassy.D.He accepts interviews only at the embassy.答案：C解析：根据原文，本题的关键是理解exclusive的词义，exclusive意为“独家的（新闻报道）”；exclusive interview意为“独家采访”。这句话的
28、意思是：大使在使大馆就两国双边关系接受了我们记者的独家采访。选项C中alone与exclusive的意思相当，也即是他在大使馆只接受了我们记者的采访。【录音原文】The ambassador accepted an exclusive interview of our correspondent at the embassy on bilateral relations.17.Which of the following best described my feeling then?A.My heart ached when I saw him standing in the courtroo
29、m.B.I felt sad at seeing him standing alone in the courtroom.C.I felt sympathy for him when I saw him standing in the courtroom.D.I felt depressed at seeing him standing in the courtroom.答案：C解析：根据原句“My heart went out to him as he stood forlornly in the courtroom.”，意思是：在法庭上他凄凉地站着时，我的心对他充满了同情。词组go out
30、 to在此句中意为“对充满同情”，选项C中sympathy与该词组意思相同，所以选项C为正确答案。【录音原文】My heart went out to him as he stood forlornly in the courtroom.18.Which of the following most probably means what you hear?A.Everybody has opportunities if he is ready for them.B.Some people have opportunities and are ready for them.C.All peopl
31、e have opportunities, but only some people seize them.D.Opportunities come to people when they are not ready.答案：C解析：根据原文“Opportunities come to all, but all are not ready for them when they come.”，意思是：机会是均等的，人人都有。但是当机会真正来临时，并非所有人都已作好准备。也即是说所有人都有机会，但是只有一些人能够抓住机会。选项C中some与原文的all are not意思相当，所以C项为正确答案。【
32、录音原文】Opportunities come to all, but all are not ready for them when they come.19.What does the visitor feel about the kindness in the country?A.Overdone.B.Excessive.C.Impressive.D.Massive.答案：C解析：根据原文“Every visitor to the country is overwhelmed by the kindness and charm ofits people.”，意思是：每一个访问者都强烈感受
33、到该国人民的友好和魅力。overwhelm在此处意为“使产生强烈感情”，选项C的impressive(令人印象深刻的)与该词意思对应。【录音原文】Every visitor to the country is overwhelmed by the kindness and charm of its people.20.What is true of his new book?A.Mediocre.B.Bad.C.Not as good as was expected by the publishing house.D.A success.答案：D解析：根据原文“His new book tur

40、h and write their term papers.Others，however, just copy them off the Internet and turn them in as their work”，意思是：有些学生做研究自己写学期论文，然而还有些学生只是从网上抄袭文章，然后把它们当做自己作的业。另外录音中还提到有些学生从不同网址剪切并粘贴大量内容(had cut and pasted large amounts of material from different World Wide Websites)。本题的关键词汇是剪切(cut)、复制(copy)、粘贴(paste
41、)。由此可知有些学生“从网上复制整篇论文或者其中大部分的内容”，所以D项是正确答案。22. 答案：B解析：由题干的专有名词the University of California对原文进行定位。根据录音“A hundred million Web pages on the Internet are searched.The top 20 search engines are used for the search”由此可知该项目使用最好的20多个搜索引擎对上亿个互联网网页进行搜索，并且“Every sentence that was a word-for-word match with ano
42、ther sentence either found on the Internet or within our database is coded（每个句子都是逐词进行对照，将与互联网或者是我们的数据库一致的地方编注）。B项的many和comparing分别于原文中A hundred million和match相对应，因此B项是正确选项。23. 答案：C解析：根据录音可知，教师可注册网站，那么他们在24小时之内就可以知道学生们是否是自己完成论文的(Within 24 hours they know if the student did the work)。因此教师如果想知道学生是否是自己完成
43、论文的，就可以注册该网站并接受其提供的服务。所以C项是正确选项。24. 答案：C解析：本题需要注意录音中相关的数字信息。参考上题的解析可知，网站会在24小时之内(Within 24 hours)产生结果，所以选C。25. 答案：A解析：由题干可知，本题需要进行简单计算。录音中提到“All 300 papers went through the program.In 45 papers or 15 percent of students had cut and pasted large amounts ofmaterial from different World Wide Websites”，
44、意思是：通过该项目检查的三百份论文中，有45份或15%的学生从不同网站剪切和粘贴了大量内容。由此可知，三百份论文中，45份是假冒的，剩下的255份是原创论文，所以A项是正确的。【录音原文】There student thieves look out.Students can easily get many research papers off the Internet.A new Website could help teachers catch copiers.Some students research and write their term papers.Others, howeve
