Part Ⅳ Short Answer Questions (15 minutes)
Directions: In this part there is a short passage with five questions or incomplete statements. Read the passage carefully. Then answer the questions or complete the statements in the fewest possible words (not exceeding 10 words).
George Washington Carver showed that plant life was more than just food for animals and humans. Carver’s first step was to analyze plant parts to find out what they were made of. He then combined these simpler isolated substances with other substances to create new products.
The branch of chemistry that studies and finds ways to use raw materials from farm products to make industrial products is called chemurgy. Carver was one of the first and greatest chemurgists of all time. Today the science of chemurgy is better known as the science of synthetics. Each day people depend on and use synthetic materials made from raw materials. All his life Carver battled against the disposal of waste materials, and warned of the growing need to develop substitutes for the natural substances being used up by humans.
Carver never cared about getting credit for the new products he created. He never tried to patent his discoveries or get wealthy from them. He turned down many offers to leave Tuskegee Institute to become a rich scientist in private industry. Thomas Edison, inventor of the electric light, offered him a laboratory in De
troit to carry out food research. When the United States government made him a collaborator in the Mycology and Plant Disease Survey of the Department of Agriculture, he accepted the position with the understanding that he wouldn’t have to leave Tuskegee. An authority on plant diseases-especially of the fungus variety-Carver sent hundreds of specimens to the United States Department of Agriculture
. At the peak of his career, Carver’s fame and influence were known on every continent.

答案部分
Part Ⅰ
Section A1．答案D。
【试题分析】本题考查对关键词语的理解能力。
【关键词语】weather, pleasant, rainy
【详细解答】如果听懂了男方谈话的主要内容，并抓住了关键词rainy，答案就不难找到。女士问男士关于他那里的天气情况怎样。男士回答时的关键句子是：Generally，there are more rainy days in September than in any other month，but it isn’t very cold there then．由此可以很容易地根据关键词rainy推断出D为正确答案。
2．答案B。
【试题分析】本题考查对关键词语的理解能力。
【关键词语】suppose, as a matter of fact, intermission
【详细解答】题目问的是男士和他的妻子对那场戏的看法如何，男士回答女士的问话时是否定的。虽然没有直接回答说他们不喜欢那场戏，但从男士的谈话中，间接地知道了他们的态度：left at the intermission（幕间休息时离开了）。故B（他们俩个都不喜欢这出戏。）为正确答案。
3．答案B。
【试题分析】本题考查对听数字的反映能力如何，需要抓住关键词语进行判断。
【关键词语】daughter, fullfare, halffare, cost
【详细解答】从对话中可知，大人票价是全价，12岁以下小孩为半价。每张票全价为100美元，半价为50美元。那位女士要买一张全价的和一张半价的，加起来的两张票价当然是150美元，故B为正确答案。
4．答案B。
【试题分析】本题为一般性听力理解题，应抓住对话中的关键词进行判断。
【关键词语】type, friend, paper, generally
【详细解答】在听力材料中可以很清楚听到女士不会打字，而是妈妈给了她一台打字机，但她不知道怎样使用。是她的一位朋友一直在给她打文件。故B为正确答案。
5．答案D。
【试题分析】本题为一般性对话理解题，需抓住关键句进行判断。
【关键词语】telephone, dinner, be able to
【详细解答】如果听懂了男士的谈话，并抓住了关键词语，此答案就不难找到。She couldn’t come for dinner, but hoped to be able to next time she comes to town．由此可知，D为正确答案。
6．答案C。
【试题分析】本题考查考生综合听力的能力，需要抓住主要内容并根据关键词语进行分析推理。
【关键词语】worry about, special, fail, course
【详细解答】对话双方都在谈论一个内容——关于你在理科学习上的问题。女士问男士如果你站在我的位置上，你怎么做？男士的回答大略是：如果Paul是我的儿子，我不会为他担忧的，因为他的理科老师在放学后正在给他辅导，所以我不担心他会考不及格。因此，答案应该是C，而不是其他。
7．答案B。
【试题分析】这是一个间接推理题，需根据关键词进行推理。
【关键词语】musician, insurance, salesman
【详细解答】所问的是男士现在靠什么维持生计？从听力材料中可以听到他以前当过保险公司推销员。他虽然弹小提琴已有几年时间，但只是在最近五年才当职业音乐家。这就告诉听者他现在已经是靠这种职业为生的。言外之意，他在五年前虽然也弹过小提琴，那只是业余的，当时的职业是保险销售，而不是职业音乐家。故B为正确答案。
8．答案D。
【试题分析】本题考查对关键词语的理解能力。
【关键词语】street, move, apartment
【详细解答】如果听懂了女士谈话的主要意思，答案就比较容易找出来。I saw him on the
street．很显然她是在街上看到他（Patrick）的，故 D为正确答案。
9．答案D。
【试题分析】本题考查对听力材料的分析判断与推论的能力。
【关键词语】expect, right after, library
【详细解答】从内容上分析A、B、C三项都不能反映这个对话的主题。A．到图书馆去，应首
先排除，因为女士首先说：如果有可能，到我家里来，这显然不是去图书馆；B和C都是关于
图书馆开放时间和下班时间，也应排除。故D为正确答案。
10．答案D。
【试题分析】本题为一般性的推理题。
【关键词语】hear about, accident, instead of
【详细解答】答案可从男士的谈话中直接去找。这里使用了虚拟语气的句子。对过去所发生
的事情进行假设。…my car would have landed in the river instead of the grassy field（要不是田里没有许多草挡住，我的车可能会开到河里去了）。意思是他的车没有掉到河里去，而是在长满草的田里停住了。故D为正确答案。

Passage One短文大意
本文叙述的是1939晚秋，纳粹的潜水艇侵入到英国某一个海湾附近的一海防并重创了英国一
艘巡洋舰。Reston和他的同事千方百计想把这则消息通过新闻检查发送出去。他给纽约时报
编辑拍去了一系列看起来似乎无害的句子，这些句子足够凑成一个故事。这则消息结果在纽
约反比在伦敦发布还早，这就引起一阵哗然。结果导致英国军方情报处展开调查。但是侦探
们花了八个月的时间才破译出记者的密码。他们虽然弄清了事情的真相，但早已时过境迁，
也没有办法采取什么行动了。事后两位记者感到十分沮丧，因为他们此举不仅有破坏英国新
