解析：[听力原文]
This was one of the most daring prison breakouts to take place in Greece. The helicopter landed
in a courtyard of Korydallos prison in Athens as those on board threw flash bombs into the area.
Amid the confusion, two prisoners managed to climb into the helicopter which took off again, flying
to a nearby village. The escaped prisoners then fled with their partners on motorbikes which have
since been found near the port of Piraes. One of the men, Vassilis Paleokostas, was serving a
twenty-five-year sentence for kidnapping and bank robbery. It
on the run since 1990, was behind the breakout. The police have arrested the helicopter pilot,
who says he was forced to fly to the prison at gunpoint. Korydallos holds some of the country
most infamous criminals.

What crime did Vassilis Paleokostas commit before breaking out of prison?

[解析] 新闻在中间部分交待其中一名越狱者在逃跑之前所犯的罪行，即绑架罪和银行抢劫罪(kidnapping
and bank robbery)，A项重现录音原词，为正确答案。
breakouts often happen here.
is near the port of Piraes.
holds some most infamous criminals. √
is the oldest prison in Athens.
解析：[听力原文]
What is the prison Korydallos famous for?

[解析] 发生越狱事件的这座监狱在雅典具有一定的知名度， 是因为它“关押的都是一些臭名昭著的罪犯”，
C项复现了关键词infamous criminal s，为本题答案。新闻中讲的是发生在Korydallos的一起猖狂的越狱
事件，但这并不能说明这 里经常有犯人越狱，A项错误。B项“在Piraes附近”是犯人逃跑用的摩托车被
发现的地点。D项 “它是雅典最古老的监狱”没有在新闻中提到。

（分数：12.00）
the Java Sea. √
the Borneo Island.
the Indonesian city of Surabaya.
Singapore.
解析：[听力原文]
Indonesian officials have recovered bodies from the sea near the wreck of an AirAsia passenger
jet. The airplane crashed during a storm on Sunday.
Indonesian television showed rescue helicopters pulling bodies from the Java Sea, in waters about
160 kilometers from Borneo Island. The first images of the bodies showed they were not wearing
protective life jackets.
Rescue workers had recovered about one fourth of the passengers and crew at nightfall. They found
the bodies soon after discovering the wreck. It included what appeared to be an orange life jacket,
a red and white emergency door, etc.
Searches from the air also showed what appeared to be a very large object under the surface of
the water. It is believed to be the main body of the airplane.
Last Tuesday, AirAsia confirmed the wreck was its lost plane. The passenger jet disappeared on
Sunday halfway through what was supposed to be a two-hour flight from the Indonesian city of
Surabaya to Singapore.
The head of AirAsia, Tony Fernandes, said he is, upsetat the news. Earlier he said

Where was the wreck found?

[解析] 题目问失事飞机的残骸是在哪里发现的。新闻中提到，印尼电视台播放了救援直升机在爪哇海(Java
sea)捕捞尸体。A项正确。新闻提到，捕捞尸体的水域距离婆罗洲岛(Borneo Island )约160公里。B项“在
婆罗洲岛”不正确。录音提到星期日客机是在半途消失，本来的预定航线是从 印尼泗水市(Indonesian city
of Surabaya)到新加坡(Singapo re)，故C项“在印尼泗水市附近”和D项“在新加坡”都不对。
bodies were wearing orange clothes.
bodies were about one fourth of the crew.
bodies were not wearing life jackets. √
bodies were all naked
解析：[听力原文]
What did the images of the bodies show?

[解析] 题目问尸体的图像显示了什么。新闻说道，尸体的首批图像显示他们没有穿防护救生衣(not wearing
protective life jackets)，故本题答案为C项。A项“他们穿着橙色衣服” 利用新闻出现的orange一词
作干扰，新闻中并未提到尸体穿的是什么衣服。救援人员在黄昏时仅发 现大约四分之一的乘客和机组人员
的尸体(one fourth of the passengers and crew)，而不是四分之一的机组人员，故B项排除。录音并未
提到 所有尸体都是裸着的，故D项不对。

When did AirAsia confirm that the wreck was its lost plane?

[解析] 题目问亚航什么时候证实该残骸是其失联的飞机。录音中提到是在last Tuesday，即“上周星期
二”，C项last Tuesday为该处录音的原词复现，故为答案 。星期日是空难发生时间，排除B项“星期日
晚”和D“上周日”。

felt embarrassed talking to the man.
解析：[听力原文]
M: Hi, Sarah. What
W: Oh, hi, I just got out of a history class. I had to give a presentation.
M: How did it go?
W: Terribly. I
M: Why? Weren
W: No, it was not that. I just get so embarrassed and nervous whenever I have to speak in front
of a group of people. I stand up and my face gets red and then I get even more nervous because
I know everyone can see me blushing.
M: It
W: But it happens all the time. If the professor asks a question and I know the answer, I blush
like crazy if he calls on me. Doesn

M: No, not really. Maybe you should ,lust try to forget about the people. Look at something else
in the room like the exit sign.
W: I guess I could try that but I doubt it
M: You know, we talked about it in psychology class. Blushing, even though it
more or less a learned behavior.
W: What do you mean?
M: Oh, children hardly ever blush at all. And among adults, supposedly, women blush more than
men.
W: I wonder why?
M: I don
blush. He turned red whenever a waitress would ask him for his order.
W: I

What was the woman

[解析] 对话开头女士就说自己“像傻瓜 ”，说明她有问题，紧接着谈论的是她在众人面前说话会脸红。所
以她最大的问题是A。
could forget about people, so she won√
could know where to exit, which makes her feel safe.
could know how many people have left the room.
could get more confidence because the professor is standing there.
解析：[听力原文]
Why might looking at the exit sign help the woman according to the man?

[解析] 根据对话思路， 女士说完自己的问题，男士很可能会提出建议。根据“也许你应该努力忽略他人的
存在。”选A。B中的 exit及D中的professor均属语音干扰，实际上B、C、D三个选项的内容在对话中
均未提 及。本题“小偏方”：如果没听到关键句，只听见了问题，那么从常理的角度来看，应该是A最合
适。
A.A learned one. √
B.A born one.
C.A normal one.
D.A foolish one.
解析：[听力原文]
What kind of behavior does psychology classify blushing as?

[解析] 虽然 四个选项都是名词性短语，但变化的是中间的修饰词，故听音时要留意对某种事物或行为的描
述。男士说 在心理学课上讨论过脸红这个问题。即使脸红是无意识的，但它或多或少属于一种习得的行为。
可见，心 理学把脸红归类为一种习得的行为，故选A。A和B两项语义相反，一般正确选项为其中之一，预
览选项 时可把答案锁定在这两项，即使没听清楚男士的话，也可从后面男士的解释中窥见答案：儿童几乎
不会脸 红，由此可推断脸红不是天生的，据此不难得出A。
give Sarah an exceptional example. √
support his idea that women blush more than men.
introduce Brian to Sarah.
tell Sarah men also blush a lot.
解析：[听力原文]
Why does the man mention his friend Brian?

[解析] 四个选项均以To开头表示目的。之前男士提到 女人比男人更容易脸红，女士想知道原因，男士补
充说，“我不知道，不过我有个高中同学Brian， 他特别容易脸红。”所以Brian是个特例，故选A；而男

士并不是想以此告诉Sar ah男人也常脸红，故D错。Brian是男性，所以B不可能是正确的；男士并没有
提及要介绍Bri an给Sarah认识，故C也不对。

this evening, but while she was gone, there were a few minor mishaps.
W: Oh really? What happened?
M: Well, I had some of the guys over Friday night to watch a basketball game on TV, but one of
them got all excited, and started horsing around, waving his arms, and he accidentally knocked
over my wife
it beyond repair.
W: Oh no! You
M: If it had only been that.
W: Oh, there
M: Yeah, you see, the water from the vase spilled all over the manuscript of a book my wife has
been writing for the past two years. It blurred the ink over many of the pages.
W: Oh no!
M: And so one of the guys had the bright idea of drying the pages by the fire while we watched,
uh, the rest of game, but a spark from the fire must have blown out and burned the manuscript
to a crisp.
W: Ah, so I get it now. Youbuying the flowers for her as a part of some kind of peace offering,
right?
M: No, not at all. They

What was Henry doing Friday night when his problems started?

[解析] 选项讲的是男士当时在干什么。听到女士问“哦，是吗? 发生什么事了?”时， 就该预测到后面讲
的是事情的经过。男士随即说道，“我有几个朋友周五晚上过来看篮球赛。”所以选A 。男士将要去机场
接妻子，而不是B；C中的barbeque在录音中未提及；对话中出现过game ，但它是basketball game!的省
略表达，D利用game进行语音干扰。

accidentally dropped it.
of Henry√
of Henry
解析：[听力原文]
How was the vase broken?

[解析] 根据选项可以预测问题是vase被准怎样弄坏了。对话中提 到，一个朋友看球赛看得很兴奋，手舞

足蹈，不小心把Henry妻子一只有250年历 史的中国陶瓷花瓶打翻了。其中的的he不是Henry，而是他的
朋友，答案为C。
burned up in a fire. √
water damaged the entire copy.
e mistakenly threw it into the trash.
was soaked in blue ink.
解析：[听力原文]
How did the manuscript of the book become totally ruined?

[解析] 选项讲的是一件东西怎么被毁坏的。在说完 花瓶被打破之后，Henry又说“如果仅仅如此也就好了。”
可见还有更糟糕的事发生，紧接着，他提 到了书稿的遭遇，根据“但肯定是有火星迸出来，把书稿给烧焦
了”可知书最终是被火烧毁的，因此选A 。B、D都是含有原词的干扰项，C在对话中根本没有提到。
ointed.
s. √
ied.
ful.
解析：[听力原文]
How will his wife feel when she got the whole story?

[解析] 选项中的形容词表示的是四种情感。此题是推理题，妻子最后会怎么表现在对话中并未提及， 但从
丈夫谈话的口气中可以很明显感觉到事情的严重性，最后丈夫说道：“我死定了。”可以推测妻子知 道后
会非常愤怒，所以选B。

is obviously a mental process.
is more of a physical process than a mental action.
is a process that involves one
involves the muscles as well as the brain. √
解析：[听力原文]
Some psychologists maintain that mental acts such as thinking are not performed in the brain alone,
but that onemuscles also participate. It may be said that we think with our muscles in somewhat
the same way as we listen to music with our bodies.
You surely are not surprised to be told that you usually listen to music not only with your ears
but with your whole body. Few people can listen to music that is more or less familiar without
moving their body or more specifically, some part of their body. Often when one listens to a concert
on the radio, he is tempted to direct the orchestra even though he knows there is a competent
conductor on the job.
Strange as this behavior may be, there is a very good reason for it. One cannot derive all possible
enjoyment from music unless he participates, so to speak, in its performance. The listener
himself into the music with more or less noticeable motions of his body.
The muscles of the body actually participate in the mental process of thinking in the same way,
but this participation is less obvious because it is less noticeable.

According to this passage, what do some psychologists maintain about thinking?

[解析] 文章首尾句均提到了thinking， muscles，brain的关系，答案为D。A、B只是利用原词胡乱拼凑，
干扰性不大；C是听音 乐时的情况，不要误选。
e they are natural conductors of concerts.
e they want to show that they understand the music.
e only in this way can they enjoy it fully. √
e they cannot grasp it if they don
解析：[听力原文]
Why do people move their body while listening to music that is familiar?

[解析] 根据选项中的Because可知题目问的是原因。文章 中间部分主要讲述人体参与音乐欣赏的事实和原
因，英文的习惯一般是先说事实，后说原因，因此昕到“ 几乎没有谁会在听到或多或少有些热悉的音乐时
身体不会动，或者更明确些，身体的某个部位”后就应该 预测到后面要讲原因。后文提到，一个人如果不
参与到音乐的演奏中去，他就无法完全地享受音乐。故选 C。
Ear for Music.
Appreciation.
Participation in Mental Acts. √
D.A Definition of the Thinking Process.
解析：[听力原文]
What is the talk mainly about?

[解析] 预读选项可知，这是一道主旨大意题。标题应该概括最主要的信息，可利用主题句中的核心词和全
文高频 实义词做出选择或缩小选择范围。本文的高频词有：thinking，muscles，brain，body ，等。本文
主要讲的是肌肉参与思维过程，而不是在给思维下定义，故选C而非D。A、B均与musi c有关，它们只是
用来证明主题的具体例子，不能概括全文。
