曾经被接受，但现在已经不再合适了…Andrew Fuller 认为以孩子为中心的社会本质已经影
响了所有的人…他把这看成是缺少公共道德和礼貌的。题干问：由于社会本质是以孩子为

Part III Listening Comprehension
Section A
* 　解题思路 ＞＜
11. M: I just received an email from one of my former classmates. I was surprised, I hadn’t heard
from him for ages.
W: Well, I’ve been out of touch with most of my old friends, only one or two drop me a line
occasionally.
Q: What does the woman mean?
【答案】D
【解析】该题选项 C，D都是讲she 和老朋友的联系情况，但意思相反，所以其一很可能为
正确答案。对话中女士说道 I’ve been out of touch(失去联系) with most of my old friend, only
one or two drop me a line （写封短信）occasionally（偶尔）。由此可推断该女士 has lost
contact（联系）with most of her old friends。故答案为 D。
12. M: If you can make up your mind about the color, I can start on the outside of your house early
next week.
　 W: Well, right now I think I want white for the window frames and yellow for the walls. But
I’ll let you know tomorrow.
　 Q: Who was the woman talking to?
【答案】A
【解析】选项表明，该题考查的是职业，而且都是维修或者装修方面的，所以听音时要注
意识别关键词。对话中提到的 color, white for the window, yellow for the walls 都表明和女士
谈话的是要给她刷油漆的工人，故答案为 A。make up one’s mind 意为“下决心，决定”。
13. W: Excuse me, do you have any apartments available for under 500 dollars a month? I need to
move in next week when my new job starts.
　 M: The only vacant one I have is 600 dollars. Have you inquired the apartment complex down
the street?
　 Q: What does the man suggest the woman do?
【答案】C
【解析】选项表明，该题很可能考查的是某人找房子，租房子的事情。对话中女士想租一
间每月房租低于500 美元的房子，但男士说目前只有一间600 美元的房子可以出租，他建
议女士 inquire the apartment complex（公寓） down the street，故答案为 C。
14. W: You bought a pair of jeans yesterday, didn’t you? What are they like?
　 M: Oh, they are pretty like my other ones except with the larger waist. I guess I hadn’t spent
much time exercising lately.
　 Q: What can we infer from the conversation about the man?
【答案】C
【解析】该题各选项都讲了关于 he 的一些细节，表面上意思不重叠，但通过仔细分析我们
可能会推理到 he 买了一条牛仔裤。听音时要注意各选项之间的内在联系。对话中女士问男
士最近买的牛仔裤怎么样？男士回答道 they are pretty like my other ones except with the
larger waist(除了腰肥一点，和我其他的裤子没什么两样)，I guess I hadn’t spent much time
exercising lately(我想我最近没有花很多时间来锻炼身体)。由此我们可以推断，男士最近由
于缺乏锻炼而长胖（gained some weight）了。故答案为 C。
15. W: I really like those abstract paintings we saw yesterday. What do you think?
　 M: I guess it’s something I haven’t acquired a taste for yet?
　 Q: What does the man imply?
【答案】D
【解析】选项表明，该题可能考查的是男士或者女士对（抽象）艺术的品味或感觉。对话
中男士对抽象画（abstract paintings）的感觉是 it’s something he hasn’t acquired a taste for
yet(还没有获得欣赏抽象艺术的品味 )，这是一种委婉的表达方式，他的真正含义是他
doesn’t like abstract paintings。故答案为 D。
16. W: You haven’t seen a blue notebook, have you? I hope I didn’t leave it in the reading room.
　 M: Did you check that pile of journals you’ve borrowed from library the other day?
　 Q: What is the man trying to say to the woman?
【答案】B
【解析】该题选项 A, B 都是关于 notebook 的不同位置，故本题很可能考查的就是笔记本的
位置问题。对话中男士向女士建议 to check that pile of journals she has borrowed from library
the other day(检查一下她那天从图书馆借的一堆杂志)，故答案为 B。
17. M: How about joining me for a cup of coffee?
　 W: I’d love to, but I'm exhausted. I was up till 3 this morning writing a paper for my literature
class.
　 Q: Why does the woman decline the man’s invitation?
【答案】A
【解析】选项 A，D都是关于 she 的睡眠问题。听音时要注意各选项之间的内在联系。对
话中男士邀请女士喝杯咖啡（How about joining me for a cup of coffee）,女士回答道 I’d love
to, but I’m exhausted(筋疲力尽). I was up till 3 this morning writing a paper for my literature
class.故我们可以推断女士是由于想睡觉而decline the man’s invitation(拒绝邀请)。故答案为
A。
18. W: You had a job interview yesterday, didn’t you? How did it go?
　 M: Not too bad, I guess. There were about 20 candidates competing for the sales manager job.
And finally it was down to 3 of us, but the other two seemed better qualified.
　 Q: What does the man imply?
【答案】B
【解析】选项表明，该题考查的是 he 工作面试的情况。对话中女士问男士工作面试进行的
怎么样（How did it go?）。男士回答道,最后有三个人竞争销售经理（sales manager）这个
职位，但是 the other two seemed better qualified(更称职)。由此我们可知，男士暗示的是 his
chance of getting the job is slim(他获得这个职位的机会很小)。故答案为 B。
Long Conversation One
F: Simon, how does it feel to be retired?
M: Well, not so bad.
F: How have you been spending your time?
M: I have been spending more time with my family. I’ve also traveled a bit, you know, off season
when everywhere is less crowded and hotels cost less.
F: Great.
M: You know I haven’t stopped work completely.
F: Yes, could you tell us more about this?
M: I’m on a scheme that’s called phased retirement; I had a six-month break from work, after that
I could apply for project work with the company I used to work for.
F: How does the scheme work?
M: Well, it’s a trial at the moment. Instead of hiring temporary stuff, the company advertises posts
on its website that retired employees like myself can access.
F: What sort of works advertised?
M: Well, all sorts of things, really. Administrative work and more specialized work, the sort of
thing I can do. Some of the projects can last five or six months, and others can just be a couple of
days. I can decide more or less when to work. So I can manage my own time.
F: I can see it’s good for you. What is your company get out of this?
M: Well, I still have all my old contacts at work, so I know who to contact to get something done.
The company gets flexibility, too. Once the job’s over, that’s it. I’m not on their books any more.
19. Why does Simon find his retired life enjoyable?
20. How does Simon get to know about the company’s available posts?
21. Why does the company adopt the phased retirement scheme?
* 　解题思路 ＞＜
19. 【答案】A
【解析】通过预览和分析该对话所有的备选项,我们也许只能通过几个关键词 personnel,
staff, retired employees 来猜测该题可能是关于员工或者退休员工的问题。题 19 的各选项表
明，该题是关于 he 的工作或者生活情况。该问题是为什么 Simon 认为自己的退休生活是
enjoyable(令人愉快的)。对话中 Simon 提道，他退休后可以 spend more time with his family,
还可以 travel a bit off season(在淡季) when everywhere is less crowded and hotels cost less。由
此可知，Simon 是因为能够灵活地（flexibly）支配自己的时间而喜欢他的退休生活。故答
案为 A。
20. 【答案】D
【解析】选项表明，该题考查的是某人联系工作的途径。该问题为 Simon 如何得知该公司
有空缺的职位（available posts ）。对话中 Simon 提道 the company advertises posts on its
website that retired employees like myself can access(有机会访问，接近)。故答案为 D。
21. 【答案】D
