【翻译部分】
冬至是全年白昼最长,黑夜最短的一天,标志着一年中最寒冷时节的开始。东至过后,气温越来越低,人们户外活动逐渐减少,农民地里的活不多,主要忙于灌溉系统的维护和主要农作物的防冻,同时为来年春天播种做准备。中国人历年来很重视冬至,许多地方都把冬至当作一个节日,庆祝方式不尽相同,北方人有冬至吃饺子的习俗,南方人有冬至吃汤圆的传统。
Winter Solstice is the day with the shortest daytime and the longest nighttime, marking the beginning of the coldest time of a year. From this moment on, the temperature drops continuously, and people graally rece their outdoor ac-tivities. Farmers have less work in their field, mainly engag-ing themselves in the maintenance of the irrigation system and the prevention of freezing harm to crops to prepare for the spring sowing in the coming year.
Chinese have always been attaching so much importance to Winter Solstice that it is regarded as a festival in many places, when people celebrate it in different ways. The people in the north have the custom of eating jiaozi and those in the south the tradition of eating tangyuan.

Farmington, Utah, is a more pleasant community since a local girls' 4-H club improved Main Street. Six 4-H girls worked to clean the 72 foot curbside that was covered with weeds, rocks and trash. Each member volunteered to clean up and to dig in plot, five flats of flowers. They also took terms in watering, weeding and maintaining the plot. Participation in this project helped the girls developed a new attitude towards their parents of their own homes; they've learned how to work with tools, and improve their work habits. One mother said that before her daughter was involved in this project, she would not even pour a weed. The experience on Main Street stimulated self-improvement, and encouraged members to take pride in their home grounds and the total community. City officials cooperated with the 4-H members in planting trees, building cooking facilities, pick-me tables, swings and public rest rooms. The 4-H girls planted trees and took care of them ring the early stages of growth. The total park project needed more plantings in the following years. Members of the 4-H club agreed to follow the project through to completion, because they receive satisfaction from the results of constructive work. The project is a growing one and is spread from the park to the school and the shopping center. Trees and flowers have all been planted in the shopping center, making the atmosphere pleasant.
Questions 26 to 29 are based on the passage you have just heard.
26. What do we learn about Main Street in Farmington?

Passage 2 According to a survey on reading concted in 2001 by the U.S. National Ecation Association (NEA), young Americans say reading is important, more important than computers and science. Over 50% of the 12 to 18 years old interviewed say they enjoy reading a lot. 79% find it stimulating and interesting. And 87% think it is relaxing. About 68% of those surveyed disagreed with the opinion that reading is boring or old-fashioned. Over half teenagers interviewed said they read more than ten books a year. The results also show that middle school students read more books than high schoolers. Over 66% of teens like to read fiction, such as novels and stories. Over 26% are interested in non-fiction, such history books.64% of students listed reading stories about people my own age. That's a favorite topic. Mysteries and detective stories came second on the list at 53%. Just under 50% said they were interested in reading about their own culture in tradition. Of the teenagers who participated in the survey, 49% said that libraries are where they get most of their books. However, many complain that their school libraries do not have enough up-to-date interesting books and magazines. Even though many teenagers in the US enjoy reading, they still have other interests. When asked which activity would be the most difficult to give up for a week, 48% said listening to music. TV would be difficult to give up for 25% of those surveyed.
Question 30 to 32 are based on the passage you have just heard.

31. What books are most popular among teenagers according to the survey?
32. What activity do teenagers find the most difficult to give up for a week?
Questions 33-35 are based on the passage you have just heard.
Passage 3
Thank you for coming, everyone. Today‘s presentation will show how we see the development of the motor car in the short to medium term, and that is why we have invited all of you here today. Let’s start with power. It‘s clear that petrol-driven engines have no future. Already there are many alternative fuel vehicles on the market, powered by anything from solar power to natural gas. Some independent thinkers have even proced cars that run on vegetable oil. But as we all know, of all these alternative fuel vehicles, the most practical are electric vehicles. Sure, in the past electric vehicles have their problems, namely, a limited driving range, and very few recharging points, which limited their use. Now, however, recent developments in electric vehicle technology mean they can match conventional petrol engines in terms of performance and safety. Let’s not forget that electric vehicles are cleaner. Plus, importantly, the power source is rechargeable, so this does not involve using any valuable resources. Moving on to communications, very soon, cars will be linked to GPS satellites, so they‘ll do all the driving for you. What controls remain for the users will be audio-based, so, for example, you’ll just have to say “a bit warmer”, and the air conditioning will adjust automatically. You‘ll also be able to receive email, music and movies, all via an internet link. So just type in the destination you want, sit back, sleep, watch your movie, whatever. Questions
33-35 are based on the passage you have just heard.
33. What is the presentation mainly about?
34. What used to restrict the use of electric vehicles?
35. What does the speaker say about electric vehicles of today?

Section C
Directions: In this section, you will hear three passages. At the end of each passage, you will hear some questions. Both the passage and the questions will be spoken only once. After you hear a ques- tion, you must choose the best answer from the four choices marked A), B), C) and D) . Then mark the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 1 with a single line through the centre.
Passage One
Questions 16 to 18 are based on the passage you have just heard.
There is a saying that goes something along the lines of ‘You must love yourself first before you can love someone else.’ Similarly, I personally believe that you must be comfortable and happy in your own company before you can truly be yourself in the company of others. There is a massive difference between being lonely and being alone. Loneliness is a horrible feeling. However, you don’t have to actually be alone to feel that way. Many times, I’ve felt lonely when surrounded by a big group of people. In contrast, being alone can actually be a blessing, particularly, when you’ve actively chosen it. In my experience, being bored and alone is dangerous and can easily lead to the feeling of loneliness. The trick is to be active. Get outside, stretch your legs, do something cultural, buy yourself something tasty to eat or something pretty to wear. You don’t have to take anyone else into consideration and can do whatever you please. Spending time alone also allows you to more efficiently take care of problems. And then, when it’s time to be social and meet up with your friends, you will be fully there, because you won’t have too much other stuff floating around in your mind. Having been alone for a bit, you will also appreciate your friends’ company more and chances are your time spent together will be more worthwhile.
Question 16: What does the speaker say about being alone?
Question 17: What does the speaker say how to rece one’s feeling of loneliness?
Question 18: What is an advantage of spending one’s time alone?

短对话听力答案解析
【总评】:8
个短对话总体来说比以往四级扒吵听力要难,但是考察水平令人叹服。题目的设置一改往年的模式化语境,更加委婉、微妙,贴近真实生活中的语境,选项并不是对原文的简单重现而是替换与推理。
1.
考点:推理判断
答案:A. The woman should go on playing chess。
本题的关键在于听懂反问语气。女士说因为又输了棋,所以打算放弃。男士没有正面回应,而是反问了一句:
“Is that any reason to quit?
这能算一个放弃的理由吗?”言下之意就是不该放弃。换句话说,男士就是建议女士继续好好继续下棋。
2.
考点:细节捕捉。
答案:D. Mary probably knows Sally’s newaddress。
本题的关键在于听到最后一句“Mary should know it。
”男士说自己手边有一堆Sally的信件需要寄给她,所以需要知道她的地址。女士说自己很久没跟Sally联系了,但是结尾说了一句:“Mary应该知道地址。”如果没有听出结尾一句的反转含义,本题很容易错选。
3.
考点:推理判断
答案:B. His notes are not easy to read。
本题的关键在于听懂反义疑问句。女士想要借笔记,男士说:“You’venever see my handwriting, have you?”“你从没看过我的笔迹吧?”言下之意,就是自己的笔记难以辨认。
4.
考点:推理判断
答案:D. The man had better choose anotherrestaurant。
本题的关键在于听懂否定语气。男士说我今晚要带女朋友去新开的漂亮饭店过生日。女士说我上周去过,太让我失望了。从
“rather disappointing”
可以听出女士的强烈否定语气,言下之意就是建议男士不要去这家饭馆了。
5.
考点:推理判断
答案:C. He has been looking forward tospring。
本题在于听懂期待语气。本题首先听到女士开头说的:“冬天终于结束了。”和男士结尾说:“我等了好几个月了啊。”有所期待才会愿意等待,显然是男士希望冬天快点结束,春天快点到来。
6.
考点:细节捕捉
答案:B. The man appreciates the woman’s help。
本题关键在于听懂感谢语气。男士说:“Many thanks forletting me use them。”(太感谢你让我看他们了。)thankMany thanks和选项中的appreciate为同义词。
7.
考点:细节捕捉
答案:B. Go to work on foot。
本题的关键在于捕捉否定词之后被突出的信息。男士提到的“walk towork”和选项中的Goon foot。
为同义表达。
8.
细节捕捉
答案:A. Temporary closing has disturbed the airport’soperation。
本题考察的是一组明显的因果关系,即什么导致了延误。男士提到今早机场关闭了一段时间了,而且仍然没恢复正常。“closedfor a while”与选项中的Temporaryclosing构成同义替换。

PassageThree
TheBritish are supposed to be famous for laughing at themselves,
but even their sense of humour has alimit,——主旨对应推断题答案(25题)as the British retailer Gerald Ratner found out tohis cost。
When Ratner took over his father's chain of 130 jewelry shops in1984, he introced a very clear company policy. He decided thathis shops should sell down market procts at the lowest possibleprices. ——第22题答案It was a great success. The British public lovedhis cheapgold earrings and his tasteless silver ornaments. By1991, Ratner's company had 2,400 shops and it was worth over 680million pounds。
But in April of that year, Gerald Ratner made a big mistake. At abig meeting of top British businesspeople, he suited up andexplained the secret of hissuccess.——第23题答案
People say "How can we sellour goods for such a low price?" I say "Because they are absoluterubbish." His audience roared with laughter. But the Britishnewspapers and the British public were not so amused。
People felt insulted and stayed away from Ratner'sshops。
——第24题答案Sales fell and 6 months after his speech, Ratner'sshare price had fallen by 42%. The following year, things got worseand Gerald Ratner was forced to resign. By the end of 1992, he losthis company, his career and his house. Even worse, 25,000 of hisemployees had lost their jobs。

Q25 Whatdoes the story of Gerald Ratner suggest?

点评:短文是听力选择题部分最难的;话题难,词汇难,要听懂就更难。但是如果学会给短文文类之后有重点的去听录音,重点就会更突出,答案就更容易捕捉。如最后一篇短文是人物故事类,故事的主人翁叫:Gerald Ratner,讲了发生在他身上的故事。既然是故事就应该学会把握时间脉络。我相信各位同学见了老师的分析之后应该非常明显的看到了原文中的答案一般都紧跟在时间词之后。故事类的文章喜欢出推断题,推断故事想传递的道理是什么,而这个道理其实一般出现在首句——主旨,就是主旨的改写而已。
Section C
Looking atthe basic biological systems, the world is not doing very well.Yet, economic indicators show the world is prospering.Despite a slow start at the beginning of the 80s, global economicoutput increased by more than a fifth ring the decade. Theeconomy grew, trade increased, and millions of new jobs werecreated. How can biological indicators show the opposite ofeconomic indicators? The answer is that the economic indicatorshave a basic fault. They show no difference between resource usesthat sustain progress and those uses that will hurt it. Themain measure of economic progress is the Gross National Procts --GNP. In simple terms, this totals the value of all goods andservices proced and subtracts loss in value of factories andequipment. Developed a half century ago, GNP helpedestablish a common way among countries of measuring changein economic output. For some time, this seemed to workreasonably well, but serious weaknesses are now appearing.As indicated earlier, GNP includes loss in value of factories andequipment, but it does not take into account the loss ofnatural resources, including non-renewable resources, such as oil,or renewable resources, such as forests. This basic fault canproce a misleading sense of national
复合式听写答案:
26.prospering
27.decade
28.opposite
29.sustain
30. Insimple terms
31.establish
32.reasonably
33.take into account
34.misleading
35.using up
点评 :复合式听写看似难,很多同学的软肋就是不会拼写单词。但实际上复合式听写的单词却是有规律的,譬如:opposite这个单词实际上曾今出现在2013年12月听力真题10题的A选项中,而2014年6月的复合式听写也考过这个单词。今年的词汇难度也并不大,如decade、account、opposite这些单词都曾出现在老师给大家的复习资料中。在发音上比较难识别的一个单词是sustain,很多同学可能会听成sixteen。但是数词不是我们复合式听写的考察范畴。所以考听力最重要的还是要对单词的发音熟悉,自己在复习时就应该争取吧
