短对话答案解析（孙祥喆）

【总评】：8 个短对话总体来说比以往四级听力要难，但是考察水平令人叹服。题目的设置一改往年的模式化语境，更加委婉、微妙，贴近真实生活中的语境，选项并不是对原文的简单重现而是替换与推理。

1. 考点：推理判断

答案：A. The womanshould go on playing chess.

本题的关键在于听懂反问语气。女士说因为又输了棋，所以打算放弃。男士没有正面回应，而是反问了一句：“Is that anyreason to quit? 这能算一个放弃的理由吗？”言下之意就是不该放弃。换句话说，男士就是建议女士继续好好继续下棋。

2. 考点：细节捕捉。

答案：D. Maryprobably knows Sally’s new address.

本题的关键在于听到最后一句“Mary should know it. ”男士说自己手边有一堆Sally的信件需要寄给她，所以需要知道她的地址。女士说自己很久没跟Sally联系了，但是结尾说了一句：“Mary应该知道地址。”如果没有听出结尾一句的反转含义，本题很容易错选。

3. 考点：推理判断

答案：B. His notesare not easy to read.

本题的关键在于听懂反义疑问句。女士想要借笔记，男士说：“You’ve neversee my handwriting, have you?”“你从没看过我的笔迹吧？”言下之意，就是自己的笔记难以辨认。

4. 考点：推理判断

答案：D. The man hadbetter choose another restaurant.

本题的关键在于听懂否定语气。男士说我今晚要带女朋友去新开的漂亮饭店过生日。女士说我上周去过，太让我失望了。从“ratherdisappointing” 可以听出女士的强烈否定语气，言下之意就是建议男士不要去这家饭馆了。

5. 考点：推理判断

答案：C. He has beenlooking forward to spring.

本题在于听懂期待语气。本题首先听到女士开头说的：“冬天终于结束了。”和男士结尾说：“我等了好几个月了啊。”有所期待才会愿意等待，显然是男士希望冬天快点结束，春天快点到来。

6. 考点：细节捕捉

答案：B. The manappreciates the woman’s help.

本题关键在于听懂感谢语气。男士说：“Many thanksfor letting me use them.”（太感谢你让我看他们了。）thank Many thanks和选项中的appreciate为同义词。

7. 考点：细节捕捉

答案：B. Go to workon foot.

本题的关键在于捕捉否定词之后被突出的信息。男士提到的“walk to work”和选项中的Go on foot. 为同义表达。

8. 细节捕捉

答案：A. Temporaryclosing has disturbed the airport’s operation.

本题考察的是一组明显的因果关系，即什么导致了延误。男士提到今早机场关闭了一段时间了，而且仍然没恢复正常。“closed for awhile”与选项中的Temporary closing构成同义替换。

长对话（周祖骏）

点评：今年听力长对话的选材还是来自于我们熟悉的工作场景的解决问题和个人访谈；长对话的逻辑非常清晰，采取问答形式，一人主导提问，一人主导回答。如果能够把握好问题是考题，回答是答案这一基本原则，长对话答题应该是不难的。而且选项和原文一遍是原文重现，即听到什么选什么即可。

短文听力

点评：短文是听力选择题部分最难的；话题难，词汇难，要听懂就更难。但是如果学会给短文文类之后有重点的去听录音，重点就会更突出，答案就更容易捕捉。如最后一篇短文是人物故事类，故事的主人翁叫：Gerald Ratner，讲了发生在他身上的故事。既然是故事就应该学会把握时间脉络。我相信各位同学见了老师的分析之后应该非常明显的看到了原文中的答案一般都紧跟在时间词之后。故事类的文章喜欢出推断题，推断故事想传递的道理是什么，而这个道理其实一般出现在首句——主旨，就是主旨的改写而已。

Passage One

What makes a person famous? This is amystery that many people have thought about. All kinds of myths surround thelives of well-known people. Most people are familiar with the works of WilliamShakespeare, one of the GREatest English writers of the 16th and 17thcenturies.Yethow many know Shakespeare, the person, the man behind theworks?——第16题答案（极端表达most预示答案，转折关系yet引导答案）Aftercenturies of research, scholars are still trying to discover Shakespeare’spersonal history.

It is not easily found in hiswritings. Authors of the time could not protect their works. An ACTing company,for example, could change the play if they wanted to. Nowadays, writers havecopy rights to protect their work. Many myths arouse about Shakespeare. Somesaid he had no formal education. Others believe that he began his career bytending the horses of wealthy men. All of these myths are interesting, but arethey true? Probably not.

Shakespeare’s father was a respectiveman in Stratford-upon-Avon, a man of the town council.——第17题答案（新出现的信息为重点）He sent youngWilliam to grammar school. Most people of Elizabethan times did not continuebeyond grammar school. So Shakespeare did have at least average education. Somepaths of Shakespeare’s life were always remain unknown.

复合式听写（周祖骏）

点评：复合式听写看似难，很多同学的软肋就是不会拼写单词。但实际上复合式听写的单词却是有规律的，譬如：opposite这个单词实际上曾今出现在2013年12月听力真题10题的A选项中，而2014年6月的复合式听写也考过这个单词。今年的词汇难度也并不大，如decade、account、opposite这些单词都曾出现在老师给大家的复习资料中。在发音上比较难识别的一个单词是sustain，很多同学可能会听成sixteen。但是数词不是我们复合式听写的考察范畴。所以考听力最重要的还是要对单词的发音熟悉，自己在复习时就应该争取吧    

Looking at the basic biologicalsystems, the world is not doing very well. Yet, economic indicators show theworld is prospering. Despite a slow start at the beginning of the 80s, globaleconomic output increased by more than a fifth during the decade. The economyGREw, trade increased, and millions of new jobs were created. How canbiological indicators show the opposite of economic indicators? The answer isthat the economic indicators have a basic fault. They show no difference betweenresource uses that sustain proGREss and those uses that will hurt it. The mainmeasure of economic proGREss is the Gross National Products -- GNP. In simpleterms, this totals the value of all goods and services produced and subtrACTsloss in value of fACTories and equipment. Developed a half century ago, GNPhelped establish a common way among countries of measuring change in economicoutput. For some time, this seemed to work reasonably well, but seriousweaknesses are now appearing. As indicated earlier, GNP includes loss in valueof fACTories and equipment, but it does not take into account the loss ofnatural resources, including non-renewable resources, such as oil, or renewableresources, such as forests. This basic fault can produce a misleading sense ofnational
