在互联网上搜索一个工作时。
1. 【答案】Y
【解析】本题的定位信息是Robert Ellis Smith。此题考查的是Robert Ellis Smith对身份盗窃问题的看法。答案来自第三段最后一句It affects everybody, there’s very little you can do to prevent it and, worst of all, you can’t detect it until it’s probably too late. 意思是:身份盗窃影响到每一个人,人们对此却无能为力,最糟糕的是,当人们发现身份信息被窃取时,可能已经为时已晚。因此题干“Robert Ellis Smith认为很难发现身份盗窃,而且对于防止身份盗窃人们几乎是无能为力。”表述正确,所以答案为Y。
2. 【答案】Y
【解析】本题的定位信息是financial losses 和restore their reputation。此题考查的是身份信息被窃取给受害人带来的损失。答案来自第四段最后一句…a victim’s losses may include not only out-of-pocket financial losses, but substantial additional financial costs associated with trying to restore his reputation …意思是:受害人的损失不仅包括金钱上的损失,而且受害人在试图恢复声誉时,还要承担大量的其他经济损失。因此题干“在很多情况下,身份盗窃不仅会引起受害者的直接经济损失,而且在他们恢复声誉时,还要承担大量的其他损失。”表述正确,所以答案为Y。
3. 【答案】N
【解析】 本题考查的是身份窃取案件的严重性。答案来自第二段…as many as 750,000 Americans are victims of identity theft every year. And that number may be low, as many people choose not to report the crime even if they know they have been victimized. 意思是:美国每年身份信息被窃取的人数高达75万,这有可能只是保守的估计,因为有些人即使被窃取了身份信息,也不去报警。另外文章第五段的第一句话…identity theft is the number one fraud committed on the Internet.意思是:个人信息欺诈是最多的一种网上欺诈行为。因此题干“身份盗窃是轻罪,它造成的危害被过分夸大了。”表述不正确,答案为N。
4. 【答案】Y
【解析】本题的定位信息是resume 和longer。此题考查的是发布个人简历的时间。答案来自第一个小标题下的第二段第二句和第三句You won’t necessarily want your resume to remain out there on the Internet once you land a job. … the longer your resume remains posted on a job board, the more exposure… it will receive. 意思是:一旦找到了工作,就不必再将简历保留在网上。……简历在网站上发布的时间越久,自己的私人信息暴露得就会越多。因此题干“简历发布在网络上的时间不宜过长是很重要的。”表述正确,所以答案为Y。
5. 【答案】NG
【解析】本题的定位信息是Suggestion 2。此题考查第二条建议的内容。在第二条建议里文章首先提出合法的求职网站能够提供不同级别的隐私保护,然后作者以CareerB为例,介绍了三种不同级别的隐私保护条款。通读这部分文章并没有重点强调哪一种条款,题干中的the third one is apparently most strongly recommended在文章找不到任何依据,因此答案为NG。
6. 【答案】N
【解析】本题的定位信息是background checks。此题考查求职时雇主是否会索要个人隐私信息。答案来自第六个标题下的第三句,此题的考查点体现在第二句话上Honest employers do not need this information with an initial application. 意思是:真正的雇主在求职人初次申请工作时并不索要这些信息。因此题干“雇主要求申请者把个人信息提交到背景栏中。”表述不正确,因此答案为N。
7. 【答案】Y
【解析】本题的定位信息是generic names。此题考查求职者保护个人隐私信息的方法。答案来自第三个小标题下第一段的最后一句和第二段首句Replace your name on your resume with a generic (泛指的) identifier….You should also consider eliminating the name and location of your current employer. 意思是:在简历上改换姓名,使用一些泛指的称呼。求职者也应该考虑删除现在的雇主的姓名和现住址。因此题干“建议申请者在网上求职时把自己和现在的雇主都使用泛指的称呼。表述正确,答案为Y。
8. 【答案】unwelcome emails
【解析】本题的定位信息是special email address。答案来自第四个小标题下第二段的首句Using an email address specifically for your job search also eliminates the possibility that you will receive unwelcome emails in your primary mailbox. 意思是:开立一个专门用来进行网上求职的电子邮箱,这样可以使自己常用的邮箱免受垃圾邮件的骚扰。题干问:开立一个专门用来进行网上求职的电子邮箱可以帮助防止收到什么?名词短语unwelcome emails是正确答案。
9. 【答案】names and contact information或private contact information
【解析】本题的定位信息是protect your references。答案来自第五个小标题If your resume contains a section with the names and contact information of your references, take it out. There’s no sense in safeguarding your information while sharing private contact information of your references. 意思是:如果你的简历含有你的名字和联系方式等信息,就要把它拿掉。一面公布联络方式,一面保护个人信息是毫无意义的。题干问:为了保护个人信息,不要把什么贴到网络上?名词短语names and contact information或private contact information是正确答案。
10. 【答案】economic gain
【解析】此题的关键词是typically for。此题考查的是窃取身份信息的目的,答案来自文章的首段,在此介绍了窃取身份信息的目的Identity theft … typically for economic gain. 意思是:身份窃取通常是以获得经济利益为目的。题干问:根据本文,身份窃取通常是为了什么?名词短语economic gain是正确答案。
Part III Listening Comprehension
11. W: Did you watch the 7 o’clock program on Channel 2 yesterday evening? I was about to watch it when someone came to see me.
M: Yeah! It reported some major breakthrough in cancer research. People over 40 would find the program worth watching.
Q: What do we learn from the conversation about the TV program?
【答案】C
【解析】选项A,B表明该对话与癌症有关,选项C,D提到viewer(观看者), commercial(广告),我们可以猜到该对话同时又可能与某电视节目有关。对话中女士问起昨晚2频道的电视节目,男士回答说是有关癌症研究重要突破(major breakthrough)的报道,超过40岁的人会发现这个节目值得一看(worth watching)。选项A、B中均出现了cancer一词,但描述都不够准确, 只有选项C表达了男士对节目的评价。因此,答案为C。
12. W: I won a first prize in the National Writing Contest and I got this camera as an award.
M: It’s a good camera! You can take it when you travel. I had no idea you were a marvelous writer.
Q: What do we learn from the conversation?
【答案】D
【解析】选项A, B, C 提到摄影和旅游,只有选项D和前三个选项不一致,我们在听音 的时候可能会更注重选项D。对话中女士说自己在全国写作比赛中得了一等奖(the first prize),并赢得了一部照相机。男士称赞了相机后说I had no idea you were a marvelous writer. (我不知道你是个这么优秀的作者)。表示男士非常羡慕女士写作方面的才能。故答案为D。
13. M: I wish I hadn’t thrown away that reading list!
W: I thought you might regret it. That’s why I picked it up from the waste paper basket and left it on the desk.
Q: What do we learn from the conversation?
【答案】B
【解析】选项A,C, D 都是对某细节的描述,只有选项B概括性较强, 我们在直觉上通常会认定该对话就是讲述了一件女士帮助男士的事情。对话中男士通过wish后的虚拟语气表示后悔把阅读的清单给扔掉了,而女士早就想到他也许会后悔,所以把清单从废纸蒌里捡了出来(picked it up from the waste paper basket),放到了桌子上。所以说,女士帮助男士省去了一些麻烦。因此,答案为B。考生要熟悉虚拟语气的各种表达方式。
14. W: Are you still teaching at the junior high school?
M: Not since June. My brother and I opened a restaurant as soon as he got out of the army.
Q: What do we learn about the man from the conversation?
【答案】A
【解析】该题四个选项都是关于he的一些细节描述,但是意思不重叠,所以我们猜测这四个选项的内容在对话中都有可能被部分提到,考生在听音时只需注意哪个选项的内容更加准确。对话中女士问男士是否还在初中教书,男士的回答是否定的,Not since June,故答案为A.
15. M: Hi, Susan! Have you finished reading the book Professor Johnson recommended?
W: Oh, I haven’t read it through the way I read a novel. I just read a few chapters which interested me.
Q: What does the woman mean?
【答案】C
【解析】四选项都是关于she读书的事情,但讲述的是不同的方面,所以考生只需在听音时注意细节的描述。事实上,我们只通过对话中一句简单的表达I just read a few chapters which interested me. 就可判断该题的正确答案为C。
16. M: Jane missed the class again, didn’t she? I wonder why?
W: Well, I knew she had been absent all week. So I called her this morning to see if she was sick. It turned out that her husband was badly injured in a car accident.
Q: What does the woman say about Jane?
【答案】D
【解析】选项表明,该对话是关于女士由于某种原因而缺课的事情,具体的原因需要我们在听音时注意细节的描述。对话中女士说她已给Jane打过电话,结果是Jane的丈夫在车祸中受了重伤,(It turned out that her husband was badly injured in a car accident.)从中我们不难推断Jane是因为照料丈夫才缺课的。attend to意为“照料,护理”, 故答案为D。
17. W: I’m sure the Smiths’ new house is somewhere on the street, but I don’t know exactly where it is.
M: But I’m told it’s two blocks from their old home.
Q: What do we learn from the conversation?
【答案】D
【解析】选项表明,该对话很可能是关于房子的位置的问题,听音时要注意细节的描述。 对话中出现了两次but, 第一次表示转折,即:女士不确定Smith家的具体位置,第二次表示否定,即:男士否定女士的说法,因为别人告诉他Smith夫妇的新家离他们的旧家只有两条街(two blocks)之隔。故答案为D。
18. W: I’ve been waiting here almost half an hour! How come it took you so long?
M: Sorry, honey! I had to drive two blocks before I spotted a place to park the car.
Q: What do we learn from the conversation?
【答案】A
【解析】选项表明,该对话很可能是关于男士停车或者迟到的事情。对话中女士抱怨男士让她等了这么久,男士解释说I had to drive two blocks before I spotted a place to park the car.(为了找停车位,我不得不开出两个街区。)由此我们可知男士费了很大的工夫才找到停车位,故答案为A。选项C的表达程度过于严重。
Long Conversation One
M: Hello, I have a reservation for tonight.
W: Your name, please.
M: Nelson, Charles Nelson.
W: OK, Mr. Nelson. That’s a room for five and…
M: Excuse me, you mean a room for five pounds? I didn’t know the special was so good.
W: No, no, no…according to our records, a room for five guests was booked under your name.
M: No, no…hold on. You must have two guests under the name.
W: OK, let me check this again. Oh, here we are.
M: Yeah?
W: Charles Nelson, a room for one for the 19th…
M: Wait, wait. It’s for tonight, not tomorrow night.
W: Em…, I don’t think we have any rooms for tonight. There’s a conference going on in town and…er, let’s see…yeah, no rooms.
M: Oh, come on! You must have something, anything!
W: Well, let…let me check my computer here…Ah!
M: What?
W: There has been a cancellation for this evening. A honeymoon suite is now available.
M: Great, I’ll take it.
W: But, I’ll have to charge you 150 pounds for the night
M: What? I should get a discount for the inconvenience!
W: Well, the best I can give you is a 10% discount plus a ticket for a free continental breakfast.
M: Hey, isn’t the breakfast free anyway?
W: Well, only on weekends.
M: I want to talk to the manager.
W: Wait, wait, wait…Mr. Nelson, I think I can give you an additional 15% discount…

* 解题思路
19. 【答案】D
【解析】选项表明,该对话应该是在宾馆职员和男士之间展开的,该问题是关于预定房间的。故可先排除选项C。对话中男士对女士找出的两个房间都给予了否定,由此可知,男士的问题是找不到当晚的定房记录,故答案为D.
20. 【答案】B
【解析】该题各选项提到的wedding, conference, repair和busy seasons 都是没有房间的理由,所以我们可以由此推断该题考查的是没有空房间的原因。对话中服务员提到I don’t think we have any rooms for tonight. There’s a conference going on(举行会议)in town and…er, let’s see…yeah, no rooms. 故答案为B。
21. 【答案】A
【解析】选项表明,该题是关于宾馆中某物(it)的收费或打折情况,考生只需在听音过程中注意细节的描述。对话中服务员在回答男士提出的早餐是不是向来都免费的问题时说Well, only on weekends. 即:只在周末才免费,故答案为A。free of charge意为“免费,不收钱”。
22. 【答案】C
【解析】该题四个选项陈述的都应该是男士(宾馆顾客)将要采取的
