标准听力(四)—标准听力(六)(4)

M: I’m sorry to hear it, but you can always rent one if you have a license.
Q: What does the man mean?【听前预测】根据意思相反的两个选项中有一个很可能是答案的命题规律, 答案范围锁定在[A]和[D]之间。
【解 析】选[D]。对话中男士提到，but you can always rent one（但你总可以租一辆）， [D]中的can’t borrow his car是男士所说话中的真实想法，故[D]为答案。17. M: Excuse me, Prof. Grey. But I’m
still confused. Could you go over that last point one more time?
W: Of course! That’s what I’m here for.
Q: What does the woman mean?【听前预测】由选项中的question, explanation, repeat等可知, 对话与解释疑问有关。由The man shouldn’t等可知, 女士的话为听音重点。
【解 析】选[C]。对话中女士提到，Of course！That’s what I’m here for.（当然能！我在这就是干这个的），其中的what指男士问题中的go over that last point one more time，由此可知女士并不介意再解释一遍, 故答案为[C]。18. W: You look different today. How did your job interview go?
M: I don’t think I came across as well as I could have.
Q: What does the man mean?【听前预测】由选项中的He doesn’t want to和重复出现的interview可知，本题与男士参加面试有关，男士的话为听音重点。
【解 析】选[B]。对话中男士提到，I don’t think I came across…well…（我觉得自己没有发挥好），[B]中的disappointed是对男士所说话的同义转述，故答案为[B]。come across意为“使人产生某种印象”。
Now you’ll hear the two long conversations.
Conversation One
【听前预测】预览四道题各选项，由选项中的parents，career，freedom， interfere，get on well等可知，对话双方谈论的是父母对自己的教育，涉及对自己专业选择、职业规划的干涉以及与父母的关系。

M: Do you think young people are given too much freedom nowadays, and that as a result they’ve lost respect for their parents and their elders generally?
W: I don’t think so. My parents never interfered with my plans too much. They advised me but never forced me to do anything I didn’t want to do. I was allowed to take up the career I wanted. I think I respect and love them more for this.
M: Are you quite independent of them now?
W: Yes. As soon as I left school and started my studies as a nurse I became independent financially. I have a government grant. It is enough for my daily life. But I still stay with them a lot, as you know.
M: You seem very close to your pa
rents.
W: I am. Many young people today say they have nothing in common with their parents, but I’m rather lucky because I get on very well wit

h mine. What about you?
M: Well, we value family life very much in my country. I’m very fond of my family, but I don’t always get on very well with them. They try to control me too much.
W: But they allow you to come to study in England on your own.
M: Yes, but only after a lot of persuasion! Your parents treat you as an adult; my parents treat me as a child.
W: As I said, I’m lucky. Some English parents are like yours. They interfere too much and they just refuse to understand our generation.Questions 19 to 22 are based on the conversation you have just heard.
19. According to the woman, why does she respect her parents?
【解析】选[B]。对话开始女士说她父母绝不逼迫她做自己不喜欢的事情，所以她很尊重父母，故答案为[B]。
【点睛】but转折处常为考点，其后的句子为真正要表达的意思；定语从句I didn’t want to do修饰anything，[B]是对此的同义转述。
20. What happened when the woman began to study nursing?
【解析】选[A]。对话中女士提到，As soon as I…started my studies as a nurse I became independent financially（自从我…开始学习护士后便在经济上独立了），[A]中的didn’t need…money any more是对其中became independent financially的同义转述，故为答案。
【点睛】问题中的began to study nursing是对对话中started...studies as a nurse的同义转述。
21.What can we learn from the conversation?
【解析】选[A]。对话中男士提到，we value family life very much in my country（在我们国家，人们非常看重家庭生活），由此可推断出他们来自不同的国家，故答案为[A]。
22. What attitude did the man’s parents have towards his study abroad?
【解析】选[C]。选项均以They开头，由其中的allowed，reluctant和their son，go abroad，study等可知，本题可能考查男士父母对他出国的态度。对话中女士说“they allow you to come to study in England on your own”，男士回答“but only after a lot of persuasion”，可推断出，男士父母起初并不情愿，直到男士说服他们，故答案为[C]。
【点睛】[C]中的reluctant until…persuaded them是对对话中的but only…persuasion的同义转述。

Conversation Two
【听前预测】预览三道题各选项，结合23题中的network，24题中的Silicon Valley及25题中的advanced technology等推断，对话可能与先进的网络技术和硅谷有关。

W: Mr. Rick Segal is an expert in network management and software development. I know you’re planning to take a world tour. Can you tell me when you got the idea for this upcoming tour?
M: Two years ago, I thought about going around to various places to see if all this technology and progress in North America had any effects on the rest of the world.
W: Y
ou have criticized Silicon Valley, particularly its venture community for arrogance, for seemingly believing it is the center of the universe. W

hy is this?
M: I have actually not criticized SV nor made a big deal about the Valley’s center-of-the-universe attitude. I have been trying to make the point that I believe there is life on other planets.
W: Champions of Silicon Valley see it as the world’s best ecosystem for tech startups. In your view, is this still true?
M: It is one of the best places because of the quality of schools, the number of successful people who hung around and seeded others to be successful, and other reasons. Again, I hope that other places can begin to build these required ecosystems, so we begin to see more centers of excellence springing up around the world.
W: How has the connected world changed the opportunities for businessmen in remote locations?
