57、中西方飲食習(xí)慣(eatinghabits)存在極大的差異。不同于西方那種每人一盤食物的飲食習(xí)慣，

在中國，菜肴是被放在桌上讓大家共同分享的。如果你在中國主人家做客，就要做好有一大桌食物的

心理準(zhǔn)備。中國人對于自己的烹飪文化(cultureofcuisine)感到非常自豪，而且會盡全力展示自己的

好客(hospitality)。而且有時候，中國主人會用他們的筷子把食物夾到你的碗里或盤子中。這是禮貌

的體現(xiàn)。

Whatdoesthemanwanttodothissummer?

［解析］推斷題。男士說他不能只是閑著(sitaround),但又沒有現(xiàn)成的工作(jobsavailable),說明

他想干些工作、賺些錢，D項符合此意。對話開頭往往是出題之處。

3、A

［聽力原文］

WhatdidtheDoddsdowhentheywentawaylastsummer?

［解桐細(xì)節(jié)題。A是對原文hiredMargarettostayintheirhouse的另一種表述方法，故為答案。

C是強(qiáng)干擾項，對話討論的并不是租房子，而是雇人看房子。提問處是考點(diǎn)，其實(shí)就是對上文敘述的

一個總結(jié)。

thehouseplants的范圍。排除A、B、D三項，即可得到答案C。此外，C是baby-sitter的職責(zé)，與本

對話的話題(house-sMing)不一致。注意except,insteadof這類詞出現(xiàn)的地方，往往是出題之處。

Howlongdidthenewcheerleaderspractice?

［解析］新聞中提到，入圍的拉拉隊員將接受4個半月的訓(xùn)練，A項“五個月左右”與新聞提到的時間

最接近，寂選A項。

預(yù)讀四個選項可知此題應(yīng)該是詢問時間，聽音時要注意有關(guān)時間的表述。B項和C項都是利用

新聞中的ha斤制造干擾，只要聽出確切的時間就不難排除這兩項。D項是利用拉拉隊員的年齡數(shù)值作

干擾。

6、C

［聽力原文］

Whoholddifferentviewsonthefunctionofcheerleaders?

［解析］文中提到拉拉隊到底是一種娛樂，還是一種讓人煩躁的干擾，體育愛好者的看法是不一致

的(disagreeon),故C項正確。

新聞中提到的是體育愛好者對拉拉隊的作用看法不一，而沒有提及觀眾、運(yùn)動員和拉拉隊隊員。

7、C

［聽力原文］

Whatdowelearnaboutthecheerleadersfromthenews?

［解析］新聞末尾提到，拉拉隊隊員都是女性，年紀(jì)在15到26歲之間，所以C項正確。

此題詢問的是有關(guān)拉拉隊員的具體信息。新聞開篇提到，奧運(yùn)會的拉拉隊員與籃球或美式足球

的拉拉隊有很大不同，A項“奧運(yùn)會的拉拉隊員和其他比賽的一樣”不符合新聞內(nèi)容。新聞中提到，拉

拉隊員分六個組，三組是冰上曲棍球的，兩組是速滑的，一組是山上項目的，B項說是有三組是速滑

的，數(shù)量上有錯誤。新聞后半部分提到，拉拉隊并不能真正的鼓舞士氣，穿著也不性感(d。notwear

sexyuniforms),故D項"她們的服飾誘人”錯誤。
