At that time, inland waterways provided North America's most popular form of long-distance transportation. Travel by rivers was often more convenient than taking a wagon over primitive country roads, especially when shipping heavy loads of farm products or household goods. Where the natural waterways were inadequate, shallow canals were built. The Erie Canal, opened in 1825, connected the Great Lakes with the upper Hudson River. It allowed settlers in the Great Lakes region to send their crops eastward to New York City at the mouth of Hudson at a much lower cost. From there, crops could be shipped to other Atlantic ports. The construction of the Erie Canal also encouraged westward migration along inland waterways and helped populate the frontier. The City of Detroit grew up between two of the Great Lakes. Later a canal joined the Great Lakes with the Mississippi river system and Chicago became a thriving city. Politically the waterway system united the nation in a way few had imagined possible, by the mid-1800s, faster and cheaper railroads became more popular and the canal system declined. Railroads could be used year round whereas canals were often frozen in the winter. During the first third of the century, however, transportation on rivers, lakes and canals aided greatly in the growth of the United States. [分析] 特定信息的找寻和判断。 根据题干中地名专有名词定位到原文相关信息The Erie Canal…connected the Great Lakes with the upper Hudson River即Erie运河将Great Lakes和Hudson River上游联接起来，而题干说Erie运河和Hudson River汇入Great Lakes，由此可知题干的说法与原文不符，该题的说法是错误的。 [解题关键] 理解关键词汇含义是解题的关键。原文中connect“联接”与题干中join“加入”，意思不符。 第2题  Settlers and manufactured products were usually transported from west to east. 【正确答案】：　X 【本题分数】：2.0分 【答案解析】 [分析] 特定信息的找寻和判断。 根据原文可知1825年Erie运河的开放使得大湖区的定居者们可将粮食运到东部纽约城，而且该运河also encouraged westward migration along inland waterways and helped populate the frontier即鼓励了人们沿内陆水道向西部移民。由此可见，当时的运输是东西双向进行的。因此题干的说法与原文不符，是错误的。 [解题关键] 根据题干特点，对有关方向的信息留心倾听是解题的关键。 第3题  Shallow canals were built for transportation when natural waterways were inadequate. 【正确答案】：　√ 【本题分数】：2.0分 【答案解析】 [分析] 语义理解题。 根据原文Where the natural waterways were inadequate，shallow canals were built可知哪里的天然水路不够，哪里就有浅的运河修建。由此可见题干的说法与原文意思相符，是正确的。 [解题关键] 掌握语句结构是解题的关键。本题需理解带有where引导的状语从句的复合句的句义。 第4题 New York City had a deeper harbor than other Atlantic seaports was one reason for its prosperity during the early 19th century. 【正确答案】：　X 【本题分数】：2.0分 【答案解析】 [分析] 因果关系的找寻和判断。 根据原文It allowed settlers in the Great Lakes region to send their crops eastward to New York City at the mouth of Hudson at a much lower cost．From there，crops could be shipped to other Atlantic ports可知，当时大湖区的定居者们将谷物经水道东运至Hudson河口的纽约城，其运费比其它方式便宜许多。在那里，货物再用船运到大西洋沿岸其它港口。由此可推断，纽约城繁荣的原因应该是因为该地是货物的集散地。而题干说纽约城有比其它大西洋诸港都深的港口在原文中并未提到，因此题干的说法是错误的。 [解题关键] 正确理解语句含义并作出正确的推断是解题的关键。 第5题  The construction of the Erie Canal encouraged westward migration and helped populate the frontier. 【正确答案】：　√ 【本题分数】：2.0分 【答案解析】 [分析] 特定信息的找寻和判断。 根据原文The construction of the Erie Canal also encouraged westward migration along inland waterways and helped populate the frontier可知Erie运河的开通鼓励了沿内陆水道向西部的移民，帮助了西部边疆的移民定居。由此可见题干的说法与原文相符，是正确的。 [解题关键] 根据题干关键词正确定位原文相关信息。 第6题 It takes longer time to travel by river is one of the major reasons that the inland waterway system was unable to compete with other forms of transportation. 【正确答案】：　X 【本题分数】：2.0分 【答案解析】 [分析] 因果关系的找寻和判断。 根据原文by the mid-1800s，faster and cheaper railroads became more popular and the canal system declined．Railroads could be used year round whereas canals were often frozen in the winter可知到19世纪中期，更为快捷、便宜的铁路运输日益流行，运河水运衰落了。铁路运输可终年使用而冬天结冰使运河无法使用。由此可判断内陆水运系统无法与其它运输形式抗衡的原因在于速度、价格和自然条件的限制，因此题干将耗时列为主要原因，与原文不符，是错误的。 [解题关键] 能够根据语句内在逻辑关系判断因果关系。 第7题  Though inland waterways were important transportation system, they were soon replaced by the more convenient railroads. 【正确答案】：　√ 【本题分数】：2.0分 【答案解析】 [分析] 推理判断题。 根据原文Politically the waterway system united the nation in a way few had imagined possible，by the mid-1800s，faster and cheaper railroads became more popular and the canal system declined可知，从政治角度看水运系统将全国联系起来，这几乎没人能想到。到 19世纪中期，更为快捷、便宜的铁路运输日益流行，运河水运衰落了。由此可推断该句前半部分说明了水运系统的重要性，而后半句则表明其衰落的必然性。因此题干的说法与原文相符，是正确的。 [解题关键] 能够根据语句意思进行正确推断。 第8题  The decline of Atlantic seaports was a result of the inland waterway system in the United States. 【正确答案】：　X 【本题分数】：2.0分 【答案解析】 [分析] 特定信息的找寻和判断。 根据原文by the mid-1800s，faster and cheaper railroads became more popular and the canal system declined可知，运河系统的衰落是由于铁路运输的兴起。原文并未提到大西洋各港口的衰败。由此可见题干的说法与原文不符，因此是不正确的。 [解题关键] 根据题干中关键词decline正确定位原文相关信息，将其与题干比较可得出正确答案。 第9题  According to the passage, inland waterway travel was most popular in the early 1800s. 【正确答案】：　√ 【本题分数】：2.0分 【答案解析】 [分析] 数字信息的找寻和判断。 根据原文…in the early 19th century in the United States．At that time，inland waterways provided North America's most popular form of long-distance transportation可知在19世纪早期内陆水运系统是北美最流行的长途运输方式。由此可见题干的说法与原文相符，因此是正确的。 [解题关键] 正确掌握代词的指代关系是解题的关键。原文中that time便指前面的the early 19th century。 第10题  The speaker talks about the role of inland waterways in the nation's growth of America. 【正确答案】：　√ 【本题分数】：2.0分 【答案解析】 [分析] 主旨题。 原文一开始便提出主题，指出19世纪早期内陆水运系统是北美最流行的长途运输方式，接着以事实为例进行说明。最后进行总结During the first third of the century，however， transportation on rivers，lakes and canals aided greatly in the growth of the United States，即在19世纪前三分之一段的时间内，美国内陆水运对国家发展做出了重大贡献。由此可见题干的说法与原文中心意思相符，因此是正确的。 [解题关键] 掌握文章首尾处内容，有助于正确判断全文主题。 二、Part Ⅰ（B）（共10小题,共20.0分）Listen to the following short statements and then choose one of the answers that best fits the meaning of each statement by blackening the corresponding circle.

[分析] 语义理解题。 原文意思是“Joe去商店买衬衫、领带，他还有足够的钱给她。”由此可见选项C“Joe有钱买衬衫、领带，还给她一些钱”与原文意思相符，该项是正确答案。 [解题关键] 理解并列连词but的用法，根据上下文这里but起并列作用，将钱所指向的目标并列。 第2题 How did the speaker comment on Gerome's speech? A Gerome spoke last but not best. B Gerome spoke last but the best. C Although last, Gerome spoke fast.

You may need to scribble a few notes in order to answer the questions satisfactorily. There are three passages in this part, each with five questions. And each question carries two points. You will hear the passages only once. 第1题 Long, long ago, people didn't know what the Milky Way was, so they explained it ______. A as we do today B as they imagined C as they studied D as the Bible says 【正确答案】：B 【本题分数】：2.0分 【答案解析】 [听力原文]21-25 There is probably nothing more mysterious and wonderful-looking in the sky than the Milky Way, stretching like a band of jewels from one end of the sky to the other. Long, long ago, when people gazed at this sight, they were filled with wonder just as you are today. But since they didn't know what it was, they made up all sorts of strange and beautiful conjectures of the Milky Way. For example, in early Christian times, people thought it was a way along which the servants of God went up to heaven. Some imagined it was an opening in the heaven, so that we here on earth could have a glance of the magnificent inside. Knowing the facts about the Milky Way, as we do today, doesn't take away any of the wonder of it. The facts are just as amazing as any "made-up" idea! Our galaxy is roughly like a watch, round and flat. If you could get above it and look down on it, it would look like a very large watch. But we are inside the galaxy, and when we look up we are looking towards the edge from inside the "watch". So we' see that edge around us. And since there are millions of stars in it, they appear to us as the Milky Way. Do you know that there are at least 3,000,000,000 stars in the galaxy? And here is an idea of its size. It takes eight minutes for light from the sun to reach the earth. For light from the middle point of the galaxy to reach the sun, it takes about 27,000 years! The galaxy turns about its center like a wheel. From our position in it, it takes about 200,000,000 years just to make one round. [分析] 因果关系的找寻和判断。 根据原文But since they didn't know what it was，they made up all sorts of strange and beautiful conjectures of the Milky Way可知由于当时人们不知道银河是由什么构成的，他们便给银河编造了各式各样瑰丽奇妙的故事。由此可见，选项B的说法与原文意思相符，因此该项为正确答案。 [解题关键] 1)根据表原因的信号词since判断答案信息处；2)掌握同义词替换。本题原文中conjectures(猜测)与选项B中imagined意思相同。 第2题 In early Christian times, people thought the Milky Way to be an opening in the sky for ______. A the servants of God to enter heaven B the people on earth to have a look at the magnificent sight in it C people on other stars to take a look at the beauty of it D the Christian to go up to heaven 【正确答案】：B 【本题分数】：2.0分 【答案解析】 [分析] 特定信息的找寻和判断。 根据题干中关键词In early Christian times定位到原文相关信息Some imagined it was an opening in the heaven，so that we here on earth could have a glance of the magnificent inside即当时人们以为银河是天堂的开口，这样地上的人们便可有机会瞥一眼天堂里壮观的景象，由此可见B项内容与原文意思相符，该项为正确答案。 [解题关键] 掌握同义词替换。文中have a glance与选项B中have a look同义。 第3题 What does the galaxy look like? A If you were above it and look down on it, it would look like a flat and round watch. B If you looked at it from its edge, it would look like the Milky Way. C If you looked at it from its inside, it would look like a large watch. D If you looked up, it would look like a night sky. 【正确答案】：A 【本题分数】：2.0分 【答案解析】 [分析] 事实细节的找寻和判断。 根据原文Our galaxy is roughly like a watch，round and flat．If you could get above it and look down on it，it would look like a very large watch可知我们的星系大致像块表，又圆又平。如果你从星系上方向下看，它就像一只巨大的表。由此可见A项内容与原文相符，该项为正确答案。 [解题关键] 根据选项方位特点正确定位原文相关信息。 第4题 For light ______, it takes about 27,000 years. A from the earth to reach the sun B from the sun to reach the earth C from the middle point of the galaxy to reach the sun D from the moon to reach the middle point of the galaxy 【正确答案】：C 【本题分数】：2.0分 【答案解析】 [分析] 事实细节的找寻和判断。 根据原文For light from the middle point of the galaxy to reach the sun，it takes about 27，000 years可知从星系中点到太阳，光要走上两万七千年。由此可见C项内容与原文相符，该项为正确答案。 [解题关键] 根据题干数字迅速定位原文相关信息。 第5题 The galaxy turns ______like a wheel. A round the sun B from our position C from the middle point D round the middle point 【正确答案】：D 【本题分数】：2.0分 【答案解析】 [分析] 事实细节的找寻和判断。 根据原文The galaxy turns about its center like a wheel可知星系围绕中心转，就像车轮。 由此可见D项内容与原文相符，该项为正确答案。 [解题关键] 掌握同义词替换。文中turns about its center与选项D中turns around the middle point意思相同。 第6题 For a long time people believe that ______. A men and women have exactly the same brains in their heads B men and women have quite different brains in their heads C men are better at mathematics while women better at languages D men and women see the world around them in different ways 【正确答案】：A 【本题分数】：2.0分 【答案解析】 [听力原文]26-30 Do you believe that men and women think differently? Many people say no. They say men and women are born with exactly the same abilities to think and learn. They think social life affects their ways of thinking. In the past ten years, many scientists have studied the differences between men and women and they all got the same conclusion: men and women are different because their brains are different and this makes men and women see the world in different ways. Boys, for example, are generally better than girls at mathematical ideas involving objects and their relationships. Boys also are generally faster in response than girls of hand and eye movements in ball games. Girls, on the other hand, generally start speaking earlier and can see better in the dark and are better at learning foreign language than boys. What makes men and women better at one thing or another? The answer is the brain. The brain has two sides. The nerves on the left side are for mathematics, speech, reading, etc. , while those on the right side are for artistic creation and other senses. In men and women, different areas in each side of the brain develop differently. In boys, for example, it is the area for mathematics; and in girls it is the area for language learning that develops better. Another interesting difference is that the two sides of a man's brain are interconnected by a smaller number of nerves than in the case of a woman, so the flow of information between them is more limited. Scientists think this affects some of our abilities. [分析] 推理判断题。 根据原文开篇可知人们通常认为男人和女人生来具有相同的能力去思考和学习。直到过去十年科学家们通过研究才发现men and women are different because their brains are different由此可判断人们长久以来认为男人女人的大脑是一样的。因此A项的说法“男人女人的大脑是一样的”与原文意思相符，该项为正确答案。 [解题关键] 根据上下文时间线索判断相关信息处。本题问人们长久以来的想法，原文并未明确提出。但根据开篇介绍的人们通常对男女的认识和后面In the past ten years科学家的发现可推断出题干的答案信息处。 第7题 Generally speaking, men play ball games much better than women because A men play ball games more often than women B men love ball games more than women do C men's hand and eye movements are quicker in response D men have a smaller number of nerves in their brains than women 【正确答案】：C 【本题分数】：2.0分 【答案解析】 [分析] 因果关系的找寻和判断。 通常情况下男人球类运动比女人玩的好，其原因根据原文Boys also are generally faster in response than girls of hand and eye movements in ball games可知在球类运动中男孩子手眼运动通常反应比女孩子快，由此可见选项C的说法与原文意思相符，该项为正确答案。 [解题关键] 根据句内逻辑判断因果关系。 第8题 When you pass information onto your brain, for a boy ______. A you get more information than a girl B you get less information than a girl C you collect information faster than a girl D you collect information more slowly than a girl 【正确答案】：B 【本题分数】：2.0分 【答案解析】 [分析] 因果关系的找寻和判断。 根据原文．．．the two sides of a man's brain are interconnected by a smaller number of nerves than in the case of a woman，so the flow of information between them is more limited可知由于男人大脑内部起联接作用的神经数量比女人少，脑部神经间的信息流量会受到更多限制。由此可见，男孩子比女孩子接受到的信息少，因此B项内容与原文意思相符，该项为正确答案。 [解题关键] 根据表结果的信号词so判断上下文因果关系。 第9题 From the whole passage, we know that ______. A men and women have exactly the same brains in their heads B men and women have quite different brains in their heads C men think of mathematical problems while women think of languages D men and women see the world around them in just the same way 【正确答案】：B 【本题分数】：2.0分 【答案解析】 [分析] 主旨题。 本文首先提出传统观点，而后以科学家的研究为证提出自己观点，即男女大脑并不相同。接着讲话者详细阐释说明，论证本文主题。因此B项内容与原文主要内容相符，该项是正确答案。 [解题关键] 把握全文基本结构和脉络是解题的关键。 第10题 Why is a woman better at learning foreign languages than a man? A The area of the left side of a woman's brain for language learning develops better than that of a man's. B The right side of a woman's brain for language develops better than that of a man's. C The area of the left side of a woman's brain for feelings develops better than that of a man's. D The area of the right side of a woman's brain fit for seeing in the dark develops betterthan that of a man's. 【正确答案】：A 【本题分数】：2.0分 【答案解析】 [分析] 因果关系的找寻和判断。 根据题干中关键词learning foreign languages定位到原文相关信息处The nerves on the left side are for mathematics，speech，reading．．．In men and women，different areas in each side of the brain develop differently．In boys，for example，it is the area for mathematics；and in girls“is the area for language learning that develops better可知人类大脑左部发展数学、言语、阅读等，男女左右半脑不同区域发展情况不同。男孩数学区域，女孩语言区域发展都优于对方。由此可判断，对于女孩，左半脑司掌语言的区域发展优于男孩。因此A项内容与原文意思相符，是正确答案。 [解题关键] 掌握比较级的用法是解题的关键。 第11题 What would happen to some countries if tourism stopped? A Their economies would be ruined. B It would keep their economies going. C There would be no more environmental pollution there. D People have no chance to travel there. 【正确答案】：A 【本题分数】：2.0分 【答案解析】 [听力原文]31-35 Most countries in the world now welcome tourists because of the money they bring in. Many countries make great efforts to encourage tourism, and many also depend on what the yearn from it to keep their economies going. People who like adventure will even try to visit countries where travel is difficult and costs are high. Companies regularly arrange trips through the Sahara desert, or to Himalayas for whoever enjoys such trips, but the numbers of visitors are small. Most tourists try to choose whichever places have fairly comfortable, cheap hotels, quite good food, reasonable safety, sunny weather and plenty of amusements or unusual things to see. Their choice of a place for a holiday also depends very much on when they can get away; it is not very pleasant to go to a place when it is having its worst weather. One of the big problems of a nation wishing to attract a lot of tourists is the cost of building hotels for them. Building big hotels swallows up a lot of money, and many of the countries that 'need the tourists are poor. What they spend on building has to be borrowed produces only chains of ugly hotels wherever there are beauty spots supposed to attract tourists. Another problem is that more and more big international companies are building hotels all over the world, so that the profits from a hotel often do not stay in the country in which it has been built. And there is also the question of training staff, teaching them foreign languages, how to cook the kind of food that the foreign tourists expect, and so on. In many countries, special colleges and courses have been set up for this. Crime can also be a problem. Seeing tourists who seem to be much richer than themselves, the local inhabitants are often tempted to steal from them. Sometimes tourists resist and get killed, and then other tourists refuse to come to the country. [分析] 推理判断题。 关于旅游业，原文说许多国家depend on what they earn from it to keep their economies going，由此可推断，如果没有了旅游业，这些国家的经济会崩溃。因此A项内容与原文意思相符，该项为正确答案。 [解题关键] 理解关键短语的内涵是解题的关键。文中depend on表明旅游业对某些国家经济的重要程度。因此如果没有旅游业，该国的经济状况应该是be ruined(被毁)。 第12题 A trip to the Himalayas is ______. A comfortable but expensive B hard but cheap C comfortable and cheap D hard and expensive 【正确答案】：D 【本题分数】：2.0分 【答案解析】 [分析] 事实细节的找寻和判断； 根据题干专有名词可定位到原文相关信息People who like adventure will even try to visit countries where travel is difficult and costs are high．Companies regularly arrange trips．．．to Himalayas for whoever enjoys such trips可知有些公司专门为爱冒险的人安排去诸如喜马拉雅山之类的地方，游程辛苦，费用高昂。由此可见D项内容与原文意思相符，该项为正确答案。 [解题关键] 掌握同义词替换。本题原文中difficult、costs are high分别与D项中hard和expensive对应。 第13题 Countries sometimes spoil their beauty spots because ______. A they are too poor to build beautiful hotels on them B they have to cut down trees to build hotels on them C they have to sell them to borrow money from foreign banks D they are lacking experience in building hotels 【正确答案】：A 【本题分数】：2.0分 【答案解析】 [分析] 因果关系的找寻和判断。 根据原文What they spend on building has to be borrowed produces only chains of ugly hotels wherever there are beauty spots supposed to attract tourists可知一些风景优美的国家很穷，他们需要借钱盖旅馆吸引游客前来赏景，但结果却是丑陋的旅馆横亘景区。由此可判断，这些旅馆毁了那些国家的优美风景。因此A项的内容与原文意思相符，该项为正确答案。 [解题关键] 根据句内逻辑判断因果关系。 第14题 The profits from some hotels unfortunately go ______. A to the local government B into the country in which they have been built C abroad D to the local inhabitants 【正确答案】：C 【本题分数】：2.0分 【答案解析】 [分析] 推理判断题。 关于一些旅馆的利润，原文说越来越多的国际公司在世界各地修建旅店so that the profits from a hotel often do not stay in the country in which it has been built，由此可推断这些利润既然不属于旅店所在国的，就应属于这些国际公司的。因此C项说法与原文意思相符，该项为正确答案。 [解题关键] 根据表结果的信号词s。that正确定位相关信息并进行简单推断。 第15题 The local people sometimes kill tourists when ______.

This is the seventh time I have had the opportunity to give this speech, and over the years I have talked about a wide range of issues: family involvement, reading, setting high expectations, improving the teaching profession, and reforming the American high school -- to name just a few. I have just returned from a five-day, seven-state tour of schools in rural America. We started in Monroe, Louisiana, and finished 20 stops later in Paducah, Kentucky. What I noticed most about the trip was the weather. Every time I stepped off my Success Express School Bus, the local people who came to greet me announced that the record for heat had just been broken in their community. In each place, the temperature was always between 103 and 112 degrees. Now, I have very good people on my staff. But the next time we plan a bus trip, I'm going to have a weatherman on my staff. I took this bus trip through rural America to make an important point that the education of children in our nation's small towns cannot be ignored. Twenty-five percent of all our school children live in small towns all over America. When it comes to our children, let's always remember that children everywhere have big dreams and great ambitions. Yet, schools in small towns too often have to struggle because of limited resources and a shrinking tax base. On my trip I put a strong focus on the issues that matter in rural America, with a particular emphasis on constructing schools, reducing class size, and overcoming the digital divide.

You will hear the passage only ONCE and you will have 25 minutes to finish you English summary at the end of the rec ） 第1题 【正确答案】： 整篇共有4个主要点和7个次要点：下划线部分为4个主要点；斜体部分为7个次要点。 The term "globalization" has acquired considerable emotive force. Some view it as a process that is beneficial -- a key. to future world economic development -- and also inevitable and irreversible. Others regard it with hostility, even fear, believing that it increases inequality within and between nations, threatens employment and living standards and thwarts social progress. This brief offers an overview of some aspects of globalization and aims to identify ways in which countries can tap the gains of this process, while remaining realistic about its potential and its risks. Globalization offers extensive opportunities for truly worldwide development but it is not progressing evenly. Some countries are becoming integrated into the global economy more quickly than others. Countries that have been able to integrate are seeing faster growth and reduced poverty. Outward-oriented policies brought dynamism and greater prosperity to much of East Asia, transforming it from one of the poorest areas of the world 40 years ago. And as living standards rose, it became possible to make progress on democracy and economic issues such as the environment and work standards. By contrast, in the 1970s and 1980s when many countries in Latin America and Africa pursued inward-oriented policies, their economies stagnated or declined, poverty increased and high inflation became the norm. In many cases, especially Africa, adverse external developments made the problems worse. As these regions changed their policies, their incomes have begun to rise. An important transformation is underway. Encouraging this trend, not reversing it, is the best course for promoting growth, development and poverty reduction. The crises in the emerging markets in the 1990s have made it quite evident that the opportunities of globalization do not come without risks -- risks arising from volatile capital movements and the risks of social, economic, and environmental degradation created by poverty. This is not a reason to reverse direction, but for all concerned -- in developing countries, in the advanced countries, and of course investors -- to embrace policy changes to build strong economies and a stronger world financial system that will produce more rapid growth and ensure that poverty is reduced. How can the developing countries, especially the poorest, be helped to catch up? Does globalization exacerbate inequality or can it help to reduce poverty? And are countries that integrate with the global economy inevitably vulnerable to instability? These are some of the questions covered in the following sections. Economic "globalization" is a historical process, the result of human innovation and technological progress. It refers to the increasing integration of economies around the world, particularly through trade and financial flows. The term sometimes also refers to the movement of people (labor) and knowledge (technology) across international borders. There are also broader cultural, political and environmental dimensions of globalization that are not covered here. At its most basic, there is nothing mysterious about globalization. The term has come into common usage since the 1980s, reflecting technological advances that have made it easier and quicker to complete international transactions -- both trade and financial flows. It refers to an extension beyond national borders of the same market forces that have operated for centuries at all levels of human economic activity -- village markets, urban industries, or financial centers.
