【听力原文】
W: Hi, my name’s Cathy. Nice to meet you!
M: Nice to meet you too, Cathy. My name’s John. I’m a university friend of the bride. What about you? Who do you know at this party?
W: I am a colleague of Brenda. I was a little surprised to be invited, to be honest. We’ve only been working together the last six months, but we quickly became good friends. We just wrapped up a project with a difficult client last week. I bet Brenda is glad it’s done with, and she can focus on wedding preparations.
Oh, yes, so you’re Cathy from the office. Actually I’ve heard a lot about you, and that project. The client sounded like a real nightmare.
W: Oh, he was. I mean we deal with all kinds of people on a regular basis. It’s part of the job, but he was especially particular, enough about that. What line of work are you in?
M: Well, right out of college, I worked in advertising for a while. Recently though, I turn my photography hobby into a small business. I’ll actually be taking photos during the big event as a wedding gift.
W: That sounds wonderful and very thoughtful of you. I bake just as a hobby but Brenda has asked me to do the cake for the wedding. I was a bit nervous saying yes, because I’m far from a professional.
M: Did you bake the cookies here at the party tonight?
W: Yes, I got the idea from a magazine.
M: They are delicious. You’ve got nothing to worry about. You’re a natural.
W: You really think so?
M: If you hadn’t told me that, I would have guessed they were baked by the restaurant. You know, with your event planning experience, you could very well open your own shop.
W: One step at a time. First I’ll see how baking the wedding cake goes. If it’s not a disaster, maybe I’ll give it some more thought.
【答案解析】
Q1. What did Cathy and Brenda finish doing last week?
答案: C。考点在于理解整个对话前部分的内容,即Cathy 和新娘的关系。问题有两个关键要素:两人一起完成的,上周完成的。A选项是两人共事的整个时间;B选项是新娘一个人做的事情;D选项是干扰项,全文并未提及,这也考察了wrap 这个词语的不同意思。因此C选项是正确的,两人刚刚结束了一个棘手的项目。Troublesome 总结了a difficult client,a real nightmare, especially particular这几个对客户进行描述的词语。
Q2. What is John going to do for Brenda?
答案: A。此题考点是John为新娘将做什么事情。A选项正确,同义表述了男士所言will be taking photos during the big event as a wedding gift。The big event 特指wedding。B是男士过去从事的职业,C是男士现在的职业,D中的派对就是对话双方正在参加的活动,但全文并未说此派对是男士为新娘举办的。
Q3: How did Cathy feel when asked to bake the cake?
答案:B。此题考查女士对将要做婚礼蛋糕的心情。第七段女士说“I was a bit nervous saying yes”。A,C全文对话未提及,D的 “surprised”是接到婚礼邀请函的心情。
Q4: What does the man suggest the woman do?
答案:A。此题考查理解男士对女士未来职业的建议,文中他建议女士“you could very well open your own shop”。A中的bakery和文中的shop相对。其他选项均不符合。

【主题分类】长对话:高中和大学生活的区别

Dormitory n. 宿舍
Self-discipline n. 自律
Assignment n.任务,作业
Academic adj. 学术的
Commitment n. 义务,承诺
【关键句型】
1. It's up to your own self-discipline how much effort you put into study. 你能投入多少精力到学习上就取决于你的自律。
2. It's just that suddenly at university you are expected to behave like an adult, that means concentrating on the direction of your life in general and your own academic performance specifically. 只是在大学,突然之间你就被期待像成年人那样处事.这意味着你既要专注于自己人生的总体方向,还要特别专注于自己的学业表现。
3. Also, there are a lot of wonderful clubs, but you shouldn't allocate too much time to club activities, unless they are directly related to your study. 此外,还有许多很棒的社团,但你不应将过多时间拨给社团活动,除非它们与你妁学业直接相关。
【听力原文】
M: You are heading for a completely different world now that you are about to graduate from high school.
W: I know it's the end of high school, but many of my classmates are going on to the same university and we are still required to study hard, so what's the difference?
M: Many aspects are different here at university. The most important one is that you have to take more individual responsibility for your actions. It's up to your own self-discipline how much effort you put into study. Living in college dormitories, there are no parents to tell you to study harder or stop wasting time. Lecturers have hundreds of students and they are not going to follow you up or question you if you miss their lectures.
W: Nobody cares, you mean?
M: It's not that nobody is concerned about you. It's just that suddenly at university you are expected to behave like an adult, that means concentrating on the direction of your life in general and your own academic performance specifically.
W: For example?
M: Well, like you need to manage your daily, weekly and monthly schedules so that you will study regularly. Be sure to attend all classes and leave enough time to finish assignments and prepare well for examinations.
W: Okay, and what else is different?
M: Well, in college there are lots of distractions and you need to control yourself. You will make interesting friends, but you need only keep the friends who respect your student commitments. Also, there are a lot of wonderful clubs, but you shouldn't allocate too much time to club activities, unless they are directly related to your study. It's also your choice if you want to go out at night, but you will be foolish to let that affect your class performance during the day.
W: Well, I'm determined to do well at university and I guess I am going to have to grow up fast.
【答案解析】
Q5: What does the man say about college students as compared with high schoolers?
答案:C。C)与第3段男士介绍大学与高中的一项区别“you have to take more individual responsibility for your actions”相符。A歪曲了“It's up to your own self-discipline how much efforts you put into study”的意思,原句是侧重于强调自己要负责规划自己的学习,并非明确要求大学生必须更努力学习。 B)则将“there are a lot of wonderful clubs”过度推岀推演为大学生必须参加社团。D)故意混淆“self-discipline”(自律)与academic discipline(学科)的意思,为误导选项。
Q6: What are college students expected to do according to the man?
答案:D。问题考点在于理解男士对大学生需要想成年人一样自我规划和自我负责的强调。D选项符合题目要求。A)将男士所说的“为考试做好准备”(prepare well for examinations)改为了“为职业生涯做好准备";B)将男士建议女士慎重择友(you need only keep the friends who...)改为了尽可能多交友;C)所说的“树立长远目标”问题未原文中出现。
Q7: What kind of friends does the man suggest the woman make as a college student?
答案:B。B项符合男士建议“你只需与尊重你学生义务的朋友保持交往”(youneed only keep the friends who respect your student commitments)这一条。A和C在对话中并无依据。D将参加社团的建议和交友建议混淆了。
Q8: What kind of club activities should college students engage in according to the man?
答案:D。此题考查是否理解了男士对大学生要理性挑选合适社团的建议。D正确解读了男士所建议的“不应花太多时间在社团活动上,除非它们与你的学 习直接相关(shouldn't..., unless.)”。A在文中无根据。B)同7题D)项,在“选择朋友”与“参 加社团”之间强加联系。C为干扰项,将确实在文中出现的individual 和interesting 等,但是与社团无关的词语杂糅在一起。
