标准听力（六）答案解析
Part III Listening Comprehension
Section A
11. M: I didn’t know you got a promotion. Why didn’t you tell me earlier so that we could have celebrated it?
W: I guess it slipped my mind. My mind was lost to other things because of work.
Q: What does the woman mean? 【听前预测】选项中的She, felt lost, forgot, work, promotion等表明, 对话与女士的工作有关，女士的话为听音重点。
【解 析】选[C]。女士的话it slipped my mind为听音重点, it指代的是男士所说的you got a promotion。[C]是对女士的话的同义转述，forgot对应slipped my mind, 故答案为[C]。sth. slip sb.’s mind意为“某人忘记某事”。
12. M: Professor Linda, we were wondering if we could sit in on your English class.
W: I wish I could say yes, but if I accepted you two, I wouldn’t know how to say no to a lot of others who have made the same request.
Q: What does the woman mean?
【听前预测】选项中的She, rejects, their request, accepts等表明, 对话与女士是否接受their的请求有关。
【解 析】选[A]。女士巧妙地运用I wish I could say yes, but…（我希望我能答应, 但…）的虚拟语气和but委婉拒绝了男士的请求, 故答案为[A]。but后的话才是说话人的真实想法, 常为考点和答案出处。
13. W: I’m going to India next month. Is there any advice you’d like to give me on my first trip?
M: Well, see as much as you can because it’s a country with a very different culture from ours.
Q: What does the man advise the woman to do? 【听前预测】由选项中的To find her way, To remember her culture可知, 本题可能考查对女士的建议, 男士的话为听音重点。
【解 析】选[B]。男士的话see as much as you
can（尽可能多地看）为听音重点, 结合女士所
说的trip可知, [B]中的enjoy herself thoroughly
是对男士的话的同义转述, 故答案为[B]。find
one’s way意为“找得到路”。[D]是针对different
culture设置的干扰项。
14. M: I didn’t get financial aid. I don’t think I can take any courses this semester.

M: Oh, my God, it isn’t the first time it has happened. It’s really upsetting that something important always slips your mind.

【解 析】选[B]。对话中男士提到It is really upsetting, [B]中的Angry与此对应, 故答案为[B]。It is upsetting that…是一种表示对某事很生气、很烦恼的说法。sth. slip one’s mind意为“某人忘记某事”。
16. M: If you don’t mind, I’d like to have a little longer to look over the piece before I sign it.
W: Certainly if you decide to sign, you can be the first to make the motion.
Q: What does the man want to do? 【听前预测】选项中的sign, contract等表明, 对话可能与签订合同有关。
【解 析】选[C]。男士的话I’d like to…look over the piece before I sign为答案出处, 选项中能体现男士意愿的只有[C]。又根据男士的before I sign以及女士的…if you decide to sign可知, 男士最终并没有决定要不要签合同, 故排除[A]。
17. M: Dana looks so relaxed and happy.
She was always eating whenever I saw her. She must have put on weight, I think.
W: Yes, the food here is great and it must have agreed with her.
Q: What does the woman mean? 【听前预测】选项中的Dana, likes, food, put on weight, unhappy等表明, 对话可能与Dana的饮食及体重增加有关。

18. M: Gloria, have you met the new student union president yet?
W: No. I don’t think we’ve met before. Could you make an appointment for us this afternoon?
Q: What does Gloria mean? 【听前预测】选项中的She wants, not eager, sure等表明, 本题考查She的意愿。

Now you will hear the two long conversations.
Conversation One
【听前预测】选项中的actress, Mei Lanfang, female lead, clown, painted face, costume 等表明, 对话可能讨论京剧和其中的人物、服装等话题。
M: I hear that the make-up in Beijing opera is almost an art form in itself, isn’t it?
W: That’s true. Apart from the costumes, the characters are differentiated by their faces.
M: In what way?
W: There are four main types of character; the lead, the female lead, the painted face and the clown. Take a careful look at the actors and see if you can tell which is which.
M: That man there with a white nose is the clown. That beautiful girl is the female lead.
W: That’s right. By the way, how old do you think the actress is?
M: She looks as if she’s in her teens.
W: In fact, she is in her late forties.
M: My goodness, it’s almost unbelievable!
W: That’s where the art comes in Mei Lanfang, a very famous actor, who used to play the role of a young female lead until he was in his seventies.
M: Really? He must be an excellent actor! Well, I can’t tell which the painted face is.
W: There are actually more than one. They paint their faces in different patterns with different colors to reveal their characters. Red stands for loyalty, and white for the opposite meaning, black for uprightness and integrity.
M: Yes, the make-up seems as much fun as the performance.
W: I’m glad you enjoy it. Questions 19 to 22 are based on the conversation you have just heard.
19. Which is not included in the four main types of character?
【解析】选[D]。选项均为京剧角色名称。对话中女士提到的There are four main types of character; the lead, the female lead, the painted face and the clown为答案出处, 即京剧中有四种人物, 生、旦、净、丑, 没有提到the old l
ead “老生”, 故答案为[D]。
20. Which is true according to the conversation?
【解析】选[A]。选项中的The actress, looks, younger, older, real age等表明, 本题与旦角演员的年龄有关。对话中的She looks as if she’s in her teens…和In fact, she is in her late forties为答案出处, 故答案为[A]。
【点睛】本题也可根据常识进行判断。“in one’s+十的整数倍数的复数”表示“在某人多少岁的时候”, 如in her late forties表示“在她四十多岁时”。
21. How do they differ among the characters in Beijing opera?
【解析】选[C]。对话中女士提到They paint their faces in different patterns with different colors to reveal their characters, 由此可知, 各种不同的脸谱代表不同的性格, 故答案为[C]。
22. What does “white” on the painted face stand for?
【解析】选[B]。选项中重复出现的It stands for表明，问题询问It的指代意义。对话中女士提到Red stands for loyalty, and white for the opposite meaning….表明, 红色代表忠诚, 白色反之, 那么白色应代表不忠诚, 故答案为[B]。
Conversation Two
【听前预测】预览三道题各选项，结合第25题中多次出现eat可知，对话很可能与吃有关。
M: Time to eat!
W: Coming. Oh, I’m starving.
M: Good, good.
W: Oh yuck! What’s that?
M: Ah, now don’t complain!
W: But what is it, and where is mom?
M: Now, your mom put me in charge of dinner because she’s not feeling well tonight.
W: But what is it… and that smell!
M: It’s pizza. I just followed an old family recipe here, and…
W: Let me see that… Oh, Dad.
M: What?
W: You’re missing a page!
M: Oh, uh, well, uh… well I couldn’t find the second page of the recipe, but don’t worry. I have plenty of experience around the house. Plenty of experience of cooking.
W: That’s not what mom says.
M: Well, wait, wait, here let me try a piece first. Here, let me, let me cool this off here. Oh, yeah. Oh, this is great stuff.
W: Yeah right. Why are you making that face?
M: Well, well, it’s just, just a little rich for me. That’s all.
W: Let me try it Dad. Uh. Dad. You put a little too much salt in it and besides it’s burned.
M: Well…
W: And what’s that?
M: Oh, well, well, that’s just part of my own adaptation to the recipe. I added some pumpkin.
W: Oh, not another one of your surprises. Pumpkin doesn’t go on pizza!
M: Well, okay, well, so what? Uh, what do we do now?
W: Well, how about some cold cereal… You can’t mess up on that, Dad. Questions 23 to 25 are based on the conversation you have just heard.
23. What does the conversation imply about the mother?
【解析】选[C]。根据对话中提到的Now, your mom put me in charge of dinner because she’s not feeling well tonight可知，母亲身体不适，应该正在休息，故答案为[C]。
【点睛】[C] She is resting in bed.是根据she’s not feeling well tonigh
t推断出来的。
24. How does the girl know her father doesn’t like the pizza he prepared?
【解析】选[D]。由对话中提到的Why are you making that face?可推测，女儿是通过观察她父亲的表情知道真相的，故答案为[D]。
25. What do the speakers end up doing for lunch?
【解析】选[C]。[A]、[B]、[C]均提到了
吃饭的地点，而[D]却没有提到，与其他
选项明显不同，故可首先排除。根据对
话末尾提到的Well, how about some cold
cereal… You can’t mess up on that, Dad
可推测，他们在家里做点其他食物吃，
故答案为[C]。
Section B
Passage One
【听前预测】选项中的challenge, change, opinion of ourselves, successful, image, self-image等表明, 短文可能与挑战或改变自我形象有关。
If you find that believing in yourself is a challenge, it is time you build a positive self-image and learn to love yourself.
Self-image is your own mind’s picture of yourself. This image includes the way you look, the way you act, the way you talk and the way you think. Interestingly, our self-images are often quite different from the images others hold about us. Unfortunately, most of these images are more negative than they should be. Thus changing the way you think about yourself is the key to changing your self-image and your whole world.
The best way to defeat a passive self-image is to step back and decide to stress your successes. That is, make a list if you need to, but write down all of the great things you do every day. Don’t allow doubts to occur in it.
It very well might be that you are experiencing a negative self-image because you can’t move past one flaw or weakness that you see about yourself. Well, roll up your sleeves and make a change of it as your primary task. If you think you’re silly because you aren’t good at math, find a tutor. If you think you’re weak because you can’t run a mile, get to the track and practice. If you think you’re dull because you don’t wear the latest trends, buy some new clothes. But remember, just because you think it doesn’t mean it’s true.
The best way to get rid of a negative self-image is to realize that your image is far from objective, and to actively convince yourself of your positive qualities. Changing the way you think and working on those you need to improve will go a long way towards promoting a positive self-image. When you can pat yourself on the back, you’ll know you’re well on your way. Good luck! Questions 26 to 29 are based on the passage you have just heard.
26. When do we need to build a positive self-image according to the passage?
【解析】选[C]。根据短文中提到的If…believing in yourself is a challenge…build a positive self-image可确定答案为[C]。believe in意为“相信, 信任”。build a self-image意为“树立自我形象”。be confident/unconfident about sth.意为“对某事
自信/不自信”。
【点睛】[C]中的When对应短文中的If, unconfident about ourselves是对believing in yourself is a challenge的同义转述。
27. What do we learn about our self-images from the passage?
【解析】选[A]。选项中的They, changeable, have different functions等表明, 本题考查They（Self-images）的特点。根据短文中的our self-images…are more negative than they should be可确定答案为[A]。more / less…than sth. should be表明人们对self-images的看法不符合事实, 即不正确。
【点睛】本题只要听清than they should be并知道其暗含的意思就比较容易得出答案。[A]中的untrue对应短文中的more negative。
28. How should you change your self-image according to the passage?
【解析】选[B]。选项均以By开头表明, 本题可能考查方式方法, 问题可能以How开头。综合前两题可知, 本题可能考查改变自我形象的方式。短文提到的changing the way you think…is…key to changing your self-image为答案依据, 故答案为[B]。
【点睛】若听清问题中的How及change your self-image, 本题不难答对。[B]中的changing the way you think为短文中的信息再现。
29. What is the passage mainly about?
【解析】选[C]。选项概括性强, 故本题很可能考查短文主旨。根据短文中提到的build a positive self-image…The best way to defeat a passive self-image可知, 答案为[C]。
【点睛】短文主旨一般都会在短文的开头给出, 听到短文开头的build a positive self-image就能很快得出答案。
Passage Two
【听前预测】选项中的woman, man, invite, date, pay等表明, 短文可能是关于男士邀请女士约会的问题。
Traditionally, when a man invites a woman out on a date, he picks her up at her home, pays all the expenses for the evening, and takes her home at the end of the evening. Prior to Women’s Liberation, the woman was expected to sit at home by the phone and wait and hope for the man of her dreams to call her. Today’s liberated woman may take the initiative in suggesting an evening together by inviting a man she likes to a party, to a home-cooked meal, or to an evening at the theater. If she does the inviting, she pays for at least part of the evening’s expenses. Often, a man and a woman who are friends but not romantically involved go out together Dutch treat, which means that each person pays his or her own way.
Today many men working in the U.S.A. have a female boss. Men who come from countries in which the woman’s place is still in the home may find it difficult to take orders from a woman. But in the U.S.A., 44% of the work force is female, and many women are judges, doctors, company presidents, college presidents, and entrepreneurs. It is important for men to respect to a person who holds a position of responsibility and authority, whether that person is male or female. To treat a woman as inferior just because
she is female is not only insulting but also out of step with contemporary American culture.
Questions 30 to 32 are based on the passage you have just heard.
30. How do a man and a woman date traditionally?
【解析】选[B]。短文中提到Traditionally, when a man invites a woman out on a date, he picks her up at her home…, 即传统来讲, 男士约女士要去女士家中接她, 故答案为[B]。
【点睛】短文开头往往点明全文主旨或中心话题, 为听音重点, 需要特别注意。
31. What will happen if today’s liberated woman does the inviting to a man?
【解析】选[D]。短文中用虚拟语气提到If she does the inviting, she pays for at least part of the evening’s expenses, 即如果女士主动邀请男士, 至少要付部分的约会开销, 故答案为[D]。
【点睛】[D]中pays her own expense对应短文中pays for at least part of the evening’s expenses。
32. Which statement is true about today’s American women?
【解析】选[B]。短文中用But转折提到But in the U.S.A., 44% of the work force is female, 即在美国女性占劳动人口的44%, 接近一半, 故答案为[B]。
【点睛】But转折处为常考点, 其后的句子通常为答案所在。
Passage Three
【听前预测】选项中的Philosophy, discipline, meaning等表明, 短文与哲学有关, 涉及到哲学的概念等各个方面。
The literal meaning of philosophy is “love of wisdom”. But this meaning does not tell us very much. Unlike the other disciplines, philosophy cannot be defined by what you study, because it is actually unlimited. Anything can be the subject matter of philosophy — art, history, law, language, literature, mathematics, and in fact, the other academic disciplines are directly related to philosophy. For this reason you get a Doctorate of Philosophy (PhD) in biochemistry, or computer science, or psychology.
Two broad sub-fields of philosophy are logic and the history of philosophy. Logic is the science of argument and critical thinking. It provides sound methods for distinguishing good from bad reasoning. The history of philosophy involves the study of major philosophers and period in the development of philosophy.
Of what use is philosophy? First it is useful in educational advancement. It is necessary for understanding other disciplines. Only philosophy questions the nature of the concepts used in a discipline and its relation to other disciplines. And through the study of philosophy, one develops sound methods of research and analysis that can be applied to any field.
There are a number of general uses of philosophy. It strengthens one’s ability to solve problems, to communicate, to organize ideas and issues, to persuade, and to take what is the most important from a large quantity of data. These general uses are of great benefit in the career field, not necessarily for obtaining one’s first job after graduation, but for preparing for positions o
f responsibility, management and leadership later on. It is very short-sighted after all, to take a course of studies only for the purpose of getting one’s first job. The useful skills developed through the study of philosophy have significant long-term benefits in career advancement. No other discipline systematically follows the ideals of wisdom, leadership, and capacity to resolve human conflict. Questions 33 to 35 are based on the passage you have just heard.
33. What can philosophy be best described as?
【解析】选[D]。选项中的The study of等表明, 本题考查某个学科。短文开头提到, 任何科目都可成为哲学的研究对象, 如：art, history, law, language, literature, mathematics等, 即哲学的研究对象包括自然科学和社会科学, 故答案为[D]。
【点睛】[D]中social and natural sciences是对短文中的art, history, law, language, literature, mathematics的概括。
34. According to the passage, which of the following is true?
【解析】选[B]。选项中的Philosophy is, independent, limited表明, 本题考查与哲学有关的事实。由短文中提到的Logic is the science of argument and critical thinking可知, 答案为[B]。
35. What can we conclude from the passage?
【解析】选[C]。选项均为与philosophy有关的完整句子表明, 本题可能考查与哲学有关的事实。由短文中提到的It is necessary for understanding other disciplines可知, 哲学对理解其他科目有帮助, 故答案为[C]。
【点睛】[B]表述的是“如果某人学习哲学, 那
么他(她)就能获得哲学博士学位”, 根据常
识,[B]表述错误, 故可排除；[D]中的only过
于绝对, 可直接排除。
Section C
36.【解析】acquaintance。空前的物主代词your表明, 本空应填一名词。acquaintance意为“相识”。
37.【解析】improper。由上句提到的when it is all right to give a gift of money以及本句的and when可推测, 本空所填词可能有“不合适的, 不正确的”之意。
38.【解析】forget。空前的don’t表明, 本空应填一原形动词。
39.【解析】possibly。空前的you和can表明, 本空应填一副词。副词常以ly结尾, 书写时应注意不要漏掉。
40.【解析】invited。空前的have been表明, 本空应填一动词的过去分词。
41.【解析】overnight。空所在句句子结构完整, 故本空应填一副词。overnight意为“过夜”。
42.【解析】appreciation。空前的动词showing和空后的for表明, 本空应填一名词。appreciation意为“感谢, 感激”。
43.【解析】kindness。空前的并列连词and和物主代词their表明, 本空应填一语义与friendliness并列的名词。kindness意为“好心”。
44.【答案】you may choose something for the host’s wife alone or for the entire family
【Main Points】you may choose sth. for the host’s wife or for the family
45.【答案】When this
happens you may show your own thoughtfulness by giving a thank-you gift
【Main Points】If so, you may exhibit your own thoughtfulness by giving a thank-you gift

Part III Listening Comprehension
Section A
11. M: I kept looking for Mary at the seminar but I never saw her. I can’t imagine she forgot about it. She’d been talking about it for weeks.
W: Oh she didn’t. It’s just that she caught a really bad cold a couple of days ago.
Q: What does the woman say about Mary? 【听前预测】选项中出现的She, seminar, forgot, ill等表明, 对话可能与She没有参加研讨会的原因有关。
【解 析】选[C]。对话中女士提到she
caught…bad cold a couple of days ago（她前几天
患上重感冒了）, 由此可知, 女士在说she
（Mary）因为生病不能参加研讨会, 故答案为
[C]。[B]中ill for several weeks与a couple of days
ago不符,是干扰项。
12. M: Why is Susan so tired and upset?
W: She’s been studying day and night for her final exam. I warned her many times to prepare earlier, but she wouldn’t listen.
Q: What does the woman mean? 【听前预测】选项中的She, advised Susan, study, accepted the warning等表明, 对话可能与女士对Susan的学习建议有关。
【解 析】选[B]。对话中女士提到I warned her many times to prepare（我多次告诫她要复习）, [B]是对女士的话的同义转述, 其中often对应many times, study对应prepare, 故答案为[B]。
13. M: I went to a modern art exhibition yesterday. It’s really abstract. Do you like the modern art?
W: I certainly do, yet not so much as the classical art.
Q: What does the woman mean? 【听前预测】选项中重复出现的She likes, classical art, modern art以及better等表明, 对话与女士对古典艺术和现代艺术的喜好程度有关。
【解 析】选[A]。女士的话not so much as the classical art为听音重点。[A]的内容为女士的话的同义转述, 故为答案。not so…as…意为“不如…那么…”。in a higher degree意为“程度更高”。
14. M: I bought a hundred and fifty pounds’ worth of travelers’ check, just to get me started.
W: Well, if you don’t need it all at once, why not put some of it on deposit?
Q: What does the woman suggest? 【听前预测】由选项中重复出现的travelers’ check可知, 对话与旅行支票有关。
【解 析】选[B]。对话中女士用why not put some of it on deposit建议男士存一些钱, [B]中的Saving是对put…on deposit的同义转述, 故答案为[B]。put sth. on deposit意为“将某物（常指钱）存起来”。
15. W: I hear you got lost on you way to the meeting at the hotel. Are you joking?
M: I don
’t know how I did it anyway. I’ve been there a million times.
Q: What can we infer from the man? 【听前预测】选项中的His memory, familiar with, tired of等表明, 本题很可能考查He的事实状况，可能与记性有关。
【解 析】选[B]。男士的话I’ve been there a million times为答案出处, there指代女士提到的the hotel, 由此可知男士对去hotel的路是很熟悉的, 故答案为[B]。
16. W: Didn’t Mary go shopping with you yesterday? She is on holiday as far as I know.
M: Even if she hadn’t had a lot of studying to do, she would have preferred to stay at home.
Q: What does the man imply about Mary? 【听前预测】选项中的shopping, studying等表明, 对话与购物或学习有关。

17. M: I really can’t understand it. I kept a very careful record of my checks and the total was much less than we deposited.
W: But perhaps your wife also wrote some checks, Charlie.
Q: What does the woman imply? 【听前预测】选项中的His wife, deposited, account, bank等表明, 对话与His wife对钱的处理有关。
【解 析】选[C]。结合男士的…the total was much less than we deposited以及女士的…perhaps your wife also wrote some checks可推断, 女士认为男士的妻子也可能支出了一部分钱, 所以银行的存款少了, 故答案为[C]。
18. W: Martin, we’ve had these chairs since we got married. They are very comfortable.
M: That doesn’t mean we’ve got to have them the rest of our lives. Anyway they’re falling apart.
Q: What can be inferred from the conversation? 【听前预测】选项中的chairs, bad, have the chairs replaced等表明, 对话可能与讨论是否要换掉椅子有关。
