们是否对赞助他们去东亚旅行感兴趣。由此判断这个公司打算去东亚旅行。因此答案为 B 项。
【干扰项排除】①根据各选项内容判断本题问 it 计划做什么事情。②A “给电子产品做广告”对话没有提及,虽然对话提到了广告,但那是下文女士建议公司借赞助的机会给自己做广告,而且也不是 South Theater Company 要做的事情;South Theater Company 想拉

2 How much does the South Theater Company ask for in the letter?
[A]【解析】对话中女士明确提到,来信写着希望从女士所在公司得到 20000 英镑的赞助,故 A 项正确。 【干扰项排除】①四个选项均涉及金额数,在听录音时应注意关于数字等的相关表达。②B 项属于近音干扰。 C 项利用女士说的 “but I don't know if they might settle for less”来设置干扰,女士是说不知道对方公司会否接受金额少一点的赞助,这是女士的想法,不是信中写的金额。D 项是结合上述两点设置的干扰信息。

6 What does Paul Philips say about aspirin?
[D]【解析】对话中提到歌手应该避免服用阿司匹林,它会稀释血液,并且如果歌手咳嗽的话,就会导致损伤声带。因此答案为 D。

【解析】录音中提到这项机器人停车技术在海外已经成功应用,但是在美国,唯一的另外一个机器人停车场遇到很多麻烦,比如因为技术问题导致汽车跌落以及汽车被困出不来。由此判断在美国这项技术应用得还不是很成功。因此答案为 A。
【干扰项排除】①根据选项判断问的是 it 的发展状况。② B 中的“新趋势”、C 中的“强烈抵制”、D 中的“吸引很多用户”在短文中完全没有提到。
10 advantage does robotic parking have according to its developers?
[B]【解析】录音中提到停车场的开发者对技术还是很有信心的,并且指望它可以在以前只能停放 24 辆车的公寓楼地下室里面挤进 67 辆车,把通常需要的灵活空间也省掉了。可见这种停车场的优势就是可以节省空间,增加停车的容量。故选 B。

【解析】录音中提到停车费用是一个月 400 美元或者每天 25 美元,由此判断如果是月付,平均每天的费用比单次的费用要便宜。也就是说,对于熟客(regular customers),有一定的优惠,故选 B。
【干扰项排除】①根据选项中的 vary,discountable, paid in cash, parking 等判断,问的应该是停车费用的问题。②A 中的“车辆大小”、C 中的“传统停车”在录音中没有提及。在谈到停车费时没有提到“现金付款”,D 是利用前面提到的 cash(服务人员来收现金)作干扰。

[D]【解析】录音中提到酗酒受害者的一个问题就是:他会否认自己酗酒,并且不要别人帮助,故选 D 项。
【干扰项排除】①根据选项判断问的应该是某类人所面临的问题。②录音提到解决方案确实存在,A “他们不知道任何解决方案”与录音不符;录音提到半数的交通事故与因酗酒造成的疾病有关,但这与 B 项的“醉驾”不是一回事;C“他们在公共场合行为不端”录音没有提到。
14 Why did white settlers introduce alcohol to Indians?

16 Why are leaders of both parties invited to the White House next week?
[B]【解析】说话人提到邀请两党领导人到白宫,最直接的原因是想要大家在一些只有彼此携手努力才能解决的问题上达成共识。B 项的 common views 是录音中 consensus 的同义替换,故答案为 B 项。
【干扰项排除】①选项均为不定式动词短语,推测题目可能问建议、计划、原因或目的。②邀请两党领导人不是为了嘉奖他们,而是为建立共识,A 项“嘉奖他们的辛勤劳动”属无中生有。录音说的是邀请商业、劳工和公民领袖前来,而不是 C 项的“引进商业项目”。说话人并非邀请两党领导人来投票,故排除 D 项。
17 What is the focus of the mentioned plan?
[B]【解析】录音中明确指出当前经济仍在大萧条中恢复,我们的首要任务是促进就业和经济增长,这是我们整个讨论计划的重点,B 项是该处录音的同义表达。
【干扰项排除】①选项都是动名词短语,预测题目询问行为或计划。②虽然录音有提到当前经济正在大萧条中恢复,但这只是计划的背景,故排除 A 项“从经济大萧条中复兴”。虽然录音中有提到奖励企业,但没说是奖励创新企业,而且这只是计划的内容之一,不是计划重点,故排除 C 项。D 属于无中生有,录音未提及开展经济活动。
18 What are the major decisions about?
[A]【解析】说话人提到我们面临一系列的最后期限,这要求我们在如何偿清赤字方面作出重大决定,A 项 paying off 是录音 pay down 的同义替换,故为正确答案。
【干扰项排除】①选项都是动名词短语,预测题目询问行为计划。②录音提到偿清赤字会给中产阶级带来巨大影响,因为需要向中产阶级征收更多的税,并非“增加中产阶级的人数”,故 B 项错误。C 项“控制对教育产生的影响”属于张冠李戴,录音中是说偿清赤字会对经济产生巨大影响,并非对教育。D 项“计划减少能耗”录音未提及。
19 What does combining spending cuts with revenue mean?
[D]【解析】说话人提到把削减开支与增加收入结合起来意味着向最富有的美国人征收更多的税,D 项中的 require 和 richest 是录音中 ask 和 wealthiest 的同义表达。
【干扰项排除】①选项中的 deficit, revenue, taxes 等关键词,提示问题与税收、收入相关。②录音提到 we can't just cut our way to prosperity,故排除 A 项。 B 项是利用录音中 serious about reducing the deficit 设置的干扰项,cautious 不等于 serious。C 项的“增加赤字”与录音中一直说的减少赤字相悖,故错误。
20 What are the points OpenTable offers users for?
【解析】录音提到积分可以叠加成餐费的折扣,有折扣即餐费可以减少,B 项“它们可以用来减少餐费” 属于该处录音的同义表达,为答案。
【干扰项排除】①四个选项的主语均为 They,听音时留意其指代什么。②录音没提到现金兑换和会员卡的细节,故 A 项“它们可以用来兑换成现金”和 C 项“它们可以作为会员卡使用”均可排除。D 项“它们可以用来预订”,录音说的是顾客通过 OpenTable 应用软件预订餐厅时可获得积分,而不是积分可以用来预订,故排除。
21 What do we learn about Epicurious?
[A]【解析】录音提到 Epicurious 是一个免费的应用程序和网络平台,即用户可以免费下载该应用程序, A 项的描述符合录音的表述,故为正确答案。
【干扰项排除】①四个选项的主语均为 It,听音时留意其指代什么。②录音提到 Epicurious 能让用户变成更好的厨师,但没有说可以成为专业的厨师,故排除 B 项。C 项“提供制作菜谱的建议”是用户,不是 Epicurious,故 C 项不对。Epicurious 不但根据菜谱的受欢迎程度,还会根据其他因素对菜谱进行排名,故排除 D 项。
22 How does Calorific help people get healthier?
[C]【解析】录音提到 Calorific 向用户提供图片展示“200 卡路里的不同食物的分量分别是多少”,目的是让用户根据不同食物的卡路里含量来控制饮食摄入量。C 项“通过描述每 200 卡路里的食物的重量”与录音相符,为答案。
【干扰项排除】①选项都是 by + doing...结构,推测题目可能问方式或做法。②Calorific 提供的是不同食物每 200 卡路里是多重的直观概念,不是 200 种食物的重量,A 项不对。录音只是提到另一个版本的 Calorific 能提供更多的价格信息,而非 B 项说的提供每 200 卡路里食物的价格。录音未提及 200 种健康的食物,故 D 项也不对。
23 What is the number of smokers in America?
[C]【解析】本题问美国烟民数量是多少。录音提到 18% 的美国成年人在吸烟,约 4000 万人,故选 C 项。
【干扰项排除】①选项出现了数字和 American adults、 population 等关键词,推测问题可能与某类人群的数量相关。②43%是之前的成年吸烟者比例,而非现在的比例,故 A 项错误。录音提到美国成年人当中 18%是烟民,并不是说占总人口的 18%是烟民,故 B 项错误。D 项“大约 50 万美国人”是每年死于吸烟的人数,不是烟民数,故排除。
24 What measures can be taken to make it harder to get cigarettes?
[B]【解析】录音提到必须考虑给香烟适当定价,以便香烟成为难以享用的商品。B 项是该处录音的同义表达,故为正确答案。
【干扰项排除】①选项均为不定式短语,推测题目可能问建议、计划、打算或目的。②录音并未提及对公共吸烟设禁令,A 项属于无中生有。虽然录音有提到在烟盒包装标上警示语,但这不能起到使香烟难以获得的作用,故排除 C 项。录音也没有关于减少香烟的产量和供应的描述,D 项属于无中生有。
25 What institution does the speaker most likely come from?
[A]【解析】录音提到“我们”正在紧密合作,卫生局局长办公室与食品药物监督局正在密切合作,由此可推断说话人很可能是卫生局局长办公室的人,故 A 项正确。
【干扰项排除】①四个选项都是机构名称,听音时留意它们的相关信息。②录音提到的食品药物监督局和烟草制品中心都是他们一起合作的对象,故排除 B 和 C 两项。Center for Disease Control and Prevention
虽然在录音中出现过,但没有明确的细节表明说话人来自那里,故排除 D 项。
