2．
A．Part-time students in the English Department
B．Full-time students in the English Department.
C．Junior students in the English Department.
D．All the students in the English Department
正确答案：D
解析：①对话中的男士不是全日制的学生，他担心自己不具备参加项目的资格，因此向工作人员询问。工作人员回答说接受英语系所有学生的申请，非全日制或全日制都可以，故D项
正确。②A项“非全日制学生”和B项“全日制学生”不够全面；C项的Junior students在男士介绍自己时出现过，但暑假课程的申请对象并非只限定于大三学生。 知识模块：对话
3．
A．Because he is interested in academic issues.
B．Because he needs to write a thesis next year.
C．Because he wants to be a writer in the future.

正确答案：B
解析：①选项都以Because he开头，由此推测本题问男士做某事的原因。②对话中的男士说自己现在是一名大三学生，明年需要写一篇毕业论文才得以毕业，因此学术写作这门课程是他最好的选择。所以，B项“因为他下一年要写论文”是他选课的原因，为本题答案。③A项“他对学术写作感兴趣”、C项“他将来想成为作家”和D项“相对于创意写作，他更喜欢学术写作”的
内容都没有在对话中出现，可直接排除。 知识模块：对话

正确答案：B
解析：①选项都是日期，在听音之前可预测该题与时间相关，在听音时要注意记录说话人提及的日期及相应的内容。②对话中出现了B、C、D项三个日期。其中，C项July 1st和D项July 30th分别为学术写作课程的起止时间，B项April 22nd是申请的截止日期。因此B项正确。 知识模块：对话
5．
A．By traveler’s check.
B．By credit card.
C．In cash.
D．By money order.
正确答案：C
解析：①选项都是介词短语，由check，credit card，cash，money order可推测本题与支付方式相关。②女士告诉男士需要支付10美元的项目申请费，并且接受信用卡和现金支付。对此，男士的回答是“最好是现金”。由此可以推断男士很可能会使用现金方式支付项目申请费，故C项In cash正确。 知识模块：对话
听力原文：W: Good morning. Total Insurance. Judy speaking, how may I help you?M: I recently shipped my belongings from overseas back here to Australia and I took out insurance with your company. [6]Some items were damaged during the move so I need to
make a claim. What do I have to do? W: Okay, well, first I need to get a few details about this. Can you give me your name please? M: Yes. It’s Michael Alexander.W: Right. Now, who was the shipping agent, Mr. Alexander? M: It was First Class Movers. W: Okay. [7]Where were the goods shipped from?M: [7]China, but the ship came via Singapore and was there for about a week. W: Don’t worry. All of that information will be in the documentation. Now, the dates. Do you know when the ship arrived? M: It got to Sydney on the 28th of November. W: Thanks. I need to take down a few details of the actual damage over the phone before you put in a full report. Can you tell me how many items were damaged and what the damage was? M: Yes, well, three things actually. My TV, first of all. It’s a very expensive. W: Our insurance doesn’t cover electrical problems.M: It isn’t an electrical problem. The screen has a huge crack in it so it’s unusable. W: I see. Any idea of the price to repair it?M: No. [8]Well, I don’t think it can be repaired. It will need a new one.W: Okay. I’ll make a note of that and we’ll see what we can do. Now, what was the second item? M: The cabinet from the bathroom was damaged as well. It’s a lovely cabinet. We use it to keep our towels in. W: And what is the extent of the d
amage?M: Well, [9]the back and the sides seem okay but the door has a huge hole in it. It can’t be repaired. W: And how much do you think it will cost to replace it? M: Well, when I bought it last year I paid $125 for it. But the one I’ve seen here in Sydney is a bit more expensive, it’s $140. W: Right, and what was the third item? M: My dining room table. It’s a lovely table from Indonesia It must have been very hot inside the container because [10]one leg has completely split down the middle. W: Any idea of the price to repair it? M: Well, I had an estimate done on this actually because it is a very special table to us. They quoted us $200, which is really pricey so I hope the insurance will cover the total cost. W: I’m sure that will be fine.6. What is the man’s purpose of calling the woman?7. Where were the man’s goods shipped from?8. What does the man want to do with the TV?9. What is the damage of the cabinet?10. What do we learn about the man’s dining room table?
6．
A．To make a claim.
B．To make a complaint.
C．To buy insurance.
D．To ship some items.
正确答案：A
解析：①选项都是不定式，故本题可能问目的或原因。②对话开头女士介绍自己是Total Insurance保险公司，问男士有什么需要帮忙的。男士回答说：“我买了你们公司的保险，最近我从国外寄了一些物品回澳大利亚。但是部分物品在运输过程中损坏了，因此我要索赔(make a claim)。”A项To make a claim与原文一致，故正确。③B项To make a complaint“投诉”，C项To buy insurance“买保险”和D项To ship some items“运送物品”都与claim“索赔”这个关键信息不符。 知识模块：对话
7．
A．Singapore.
B．China
C．Indonesia.
D．Australia.
正确答案：B
解析：①选项都是国名，听到相关的信息可以先做记录。②对话中女士问男士的货物从哪里运出，男士明确回答是China，本题选B。③A项Singapore是货物的中转点，C项Indonesia是餐桌的产地，D项Australia是货物的到达点。 知识模块：对话
8．
A．Have the screen repaired.
B．Purchase a new television.
C．Get the screen replaced.
D．Solve the electrical problem.
正确答案：C
解析：①选项都是动词原形短语，由screen，television等关键词可知本题与电视机屏幕相关。②对话中男士说自己的电视损坏了，女士强调电子故障不属于保险范围，男士表示不是电子故障，是屏幕有一条很大的裂缝。女士接着问男士修屏幕需要多少钱，男士表示没办法修，需要一个新屏幕(need a new one)，因此选C“换一个屏幕”。③A“修理屏幕”与男士所说I don’t think it can be repaired相反。男士是来索赔的，B“买一台新电视”不符合对话内容。屏幕损坏不是电子故障(It isn’t an electrical problem)，D“解决电子故障问题”不对。 知识模块：对话
9．
A．There are scratches on the sides.
B．There is a big hole in the door.
C．One of the drawers is missing.
D．The back has a huge crack.
正确答案：B
解析：①男士在讲到贮藏柜的问题时，说侧面和背面都没问题，但是柜门上有一个很大的洞，B项把the door has…的句式同义替换成there is…句式，为正确答案。②A“侧面有划痕”和D“背面有大的裂缝”都与the back and the sides seem okay不符。C“其中一个抽屉不见了”在对话中没有提及。 知识模块：对话
10．
A．It will cost $125 to replace it.
B．One leg is broken into two parts.
C．It is a special gift from his friend.
D．The man doesn’t want to repair it.
正确答案：B
解析：①男士说到餐桌问题时，提到一条桌腿断成了两半，split down the middle意为“从中间裂开成两半”，B项One leg is broken into two parts是其同义替换，故正确。②A项中的$125是男士去年购买贮藏柜的价格。男士只提到餐桌对他们来说很特别。C“是朋友给他的特别礼物”无法推断。女士问男士是否知道修理餐桌需要多少钱，男士表示因为餐桌对他们很特别，他人估价了，D“男士不想修理餐桌”与对话相反。 知识模块：对话

Are you ?W: M: Well, please sit down and I’ll just take a few details.W: Thank you.M: Right. What name is it?W: Jenny Chan.M: Can you spell that please?W: J-E-N-N-Y C-H-A-N.M: Great. Can I ask you your age?W: I’ve just had my nineteenth birthday.M: And how long would you want to stay with the host family?W: I’m planning on staying a year, but at the moment I’m definitely here for four months only. [2]I have to get an extension to my permit. M: You’re working on it? and what will be your occupation while you’re in the UK? W: Studying English?M: And what would you say your level of English is? W: I think I’d like to say 四级听力“advanced”, but my written work is below the level of my spoken. So I su
ppose it’s intermediate. M: Certainly your spoken English is advanced. Anyway, which area do you think you would prefer? W: Umm, well, I’m studying right in the centre, [3]but I’d really like to live in the northwest. M: That shouldn’t be a great problem. We usually have lots of families up there. M: And do you have any particular requirements for diet? W: Well, I’m nearly a vegetarian. Not quite. M: Shall I say you are? It’s probably easier that way. W: That would be best. M: Anything about your actual room?W: I would prefer my own facilities. If it’s possible, a TV. [4]And I’d also like the house to have a real garden rather than just a yard, somewhere I could sit and be peaceful. M: Is that all? W: I’m really serious about improving my English, so I’d prefer to be the only guest if that’s possible? M: No Yes, you get more practice that way. Anyway, obviously all this is partly dependent on how much you’re willing to pay. What did you have in mind? W: I was thinking in terms of about ￡60-￡80 a week, but I’d go up to a hundred if it was something special. M: Well, I don’t think we’d have any problems finding something for you. W: Oh, good.M: And when would you want it for? W: [5]I’d like to move in approximately two weeks.M: Let me see. It’s the 10th today. So if we go for the Monday it’s the 23rd of March.
W: Yes, that’ll be fine.1. What is the man’s occupation?2. What do we learn about the woman?3. Where does the woman want to live?4. Why does the woman want a garden?5. When does the woman want to move in?
