参考答案 D

解析：特定信息找寻。该段录音主要为围绕美国农业变迁情况展开，其中在介绍19世纪末所发生的变化时，指出“revolutionary advances in farm machinery have vastly increased production of specialized crops and an extensive network of railroads had linked…”，提到了选项A，B和C的内容。唯独选项D的说法在该段录音中未曾提及。因此选项D所描述内容不属于美国农业方面发生变化的因素之一。
【录音原文】
One of the most popular myths about the United States in the 19th century was that of the free and simple life of the farmers.It was said that the farmers worked hard on their own land to produce whatever their families needed.They might sometimes trade with their neighbors, but in general they could get along just fine by relying on themselves, not on commercial ties with others.This was how Thomas Jefferson idealized the farmers at the beginning of the 19th century.And at that time, this might have been close to the truth especially on the frontier.But by the mid century sweeping changes in agriculture were well underway as farmers began to specialize in raising crops such as cotton or corn or wheat.By late in the century, revolutionary advances in farm machinery have vastly increased production of specialized crops and an extensive network of railroads had linked farmers throughout the country to markets in the east.By raising and selling specialized crops, farmers could afford more and freer goods and achieve a much higher standard of living but at a price.Now farmers are no longer dependent just on the weather and their own effort, their lives are increasingly controlled by banks, which have the power to grant or deny loans for new machinery, and by the railroads, which set the rates for shipping their crops to the market.As businessmen, farmers now have to worry about national economic depressions and the influence of world supply and demand on, for example, the price of wheat in Kansas.By the end of the 19th century, the era of Jefferson’s independent farmer had come to a close.

B.It was an obvious terrorist attack.

D.The attackers tried to explode the tanks at about the same time as they blasted the hotels.

参考答案 A

解析：事实细节找寻和判断。关于对燃料罐的袭击，录音开头便提及“…and another attack unsuccessfully targeted gas tanks at a fuel storage depot.”，可知这此对燃料储存地燃气罐的袭击并未成功，由此可知选项A表述与录音原文相符。
【录音原文】
ISTANBUL, Turkey—Near-simultaneous explosions hit two Istanbul hotels early Tuesday, killing two people, and another attack unsuccessfully targeted gas tanks at a fuel storage depot.The blasts went off about 1:40 a.m.Seven people were injured in the blasts at two tourist hotels in separate Istanbul neighborhoods.The city’s police chief said the blasts were an apparent terrorist attack.
Four Spanish men were injured in one of the hotel blasts and went to hospital but none were in serious condition.The men are friends on holiday in Turkey and were staying at the Hotel Star Holiday which was hit by one of the blasts.Two of the Spaniards were “slightly buried” by the debris after the blasts.One suffered two broken legs; the other suffered one broken leg.The two other Spaniards had less serious injuries.The Spaniards were being treated in two Istanbul hospitals, named Cerrahpasa and Haseki.The Spanish government did not release their names or ages, at the request of the injured.The Spanish Consul in Istanbul “is taking care of all necessities” for the injured Spaniards and is aiming to bring them back to Spain as soon as possible.An official, in Madrid, said attempts to establish phone contact with the Spanish diplomatic mission in Turkey had been difficult due to saturated phone lines in Turkey.
About the same time, attackers tried to use small explosive devices to detonate large fuel storage tanks at the Demiroren Group facility in Istanbul’s Esenyurt neighborhood.The bombs exploded but failed to rupture the fuel tanks.There were no injuries.The first bomb went off about an hour before the hotel explosions, while a second one went off at nearly the same time as the attacks on the hotels.

Passage Three
〈/huixue_java/202411/fyzyzg-ejkyzt1-3-3.mp3〉

C.Decentralization.
D.Traffic concerns.

Which of the following does NOT describe the rival parties’ opinion on the relocation?

A.Feasible.
B.Impractical.
C.Unpopular.
D.Inefficient.

参考答案 A

解析：事实细节找寻和判断。关于反对党对迁都的意见，录音中提到“…among rival parties, who have raised questions about the efficiency and feasibility of the project”和“…is an unrealistic plan without popular support”，由此可知反对党怀疑该项目的效率和可行性，并且认为该项目不现实，而且不受欢迎。而选项A（可实行的）正好与录音原文表达内容相反。
【录音原文】
South Korea has confirmed it will move its future seat of government to a rural site south of its capital Seoul.Prime Minister Lee Hai-chan told a news conference Wednesday the government has selected the Yongi-Gongju area, which lies in the center of South Korea, to be the site for the new capital.
The government plans to begin buying land for the 7,100-hectare site next year, with construction scheduled to start in 2007 and end in 2030.The government chose the site of the new capital, which has yet to be named, over two other areas because of its superior transport and environmental conditions, officials said.The presidential office and 72 other key state institutions will be located there.But other organizations, such as the National Assembly and the Supreme Court will decide whether to move or not.
President Roh Moo-hyun made relocating the capital away from crowded Seoul a key plank of his election campaign.At the time he said he believed it would help decentralize the country and boost regional development in Asia’s third-largest economy.
But the relocation—which could cost as much as $94 billion—has sparked fierce debate among rival parties, who have raised questions about the efficiency and feasibility of the project.The main opposition Grand National Party claims the government is recklessly pushing what it says is an unrealistic plan without popular support.A media survey showed that more than half of the public are opposed to the plan, citing its high costs compared with its expected effects.

Passage Four
〈/huixue_java/202411/fyzyzg-ejkyzt1-3-4.mp3〉

Why do people doubt about the pickup of Japan’s economy?

A.Low domestic demand.
B.High energy cost.

According to the report, what did IEA keep doing in the past half a year?

A.It kept revising the forecast of world oil demand upwards.
B.It kept making serious mistakes in forecasting.
C.It kept lowering down the world energy consumption.
D.It kept increasing the oil prices.

Compared with this year, the estimated world oil growth for 2005 will ______ .

A.be 84 million more barrels per day
B.increase by 2.5%
C.be up 2.53 million barrels per day
D.be up 1.8 million barrels per day

Which of the following is true about China?

A.The oil demand growth in the second quarter is 12.3%.
B.Restrictions on trucking and economic growth will help reduce the oil demand.
C.Extra refining capacity is also under tight control.
D.The oil demand in the third quarter will fall by 9%.

Which of the following is NOT the reason for the slowdown of world oil demand?

A.The cooling down of the Chinese economy.
B.Weaker growth of U.S.economy.
C.Inflation.
D.Uncertainty about Japan’s rebound.

参考答案 C

解析：因果关系判断。关于世界上石油需求量下降的原因，录音中多次出现，其中提到“World oil demand is slowing down, led by weaker economic growth in the U.S.and China…”，对应A项和B项的内容。在谈到日本的情况时，录音中指出“Japan’s rebound is cast in doubt as investors worry about inflationary pressures…”，可知关于日本经济的反弹还有不确定性，与选项D内容相符。但通货膨胀仅是人们对日本经济反弹表示质疑的原因，与全球石油需求无关，因此选项C与录音中相关内容不符。
【录音原文】
World oil demand is slowing down, led by weaker economic growth in the U.S.and China, the International Energy Agency said Wednesday.While the agency didn’t say high oil prices are damping demand, weaker economic growth is projected in the world’s leading economies, as the U.S.and China lose steam from earlier strength this year and Japan’s rebound is cast in doubt as investors worry about inflationary pressures caused by the high cost of energy.
For the first time in more than half a year of constant upward revisions, the IEA, advisor to the world’s biggest economies, didn’t change its forecasts for how much more oil the world will need.
But it did increase its estimated overall demand by 750,000 barrels a day, reflecting changes to historical data stretching back 10 years.That left world oil demand in 2004 at 82.2 million b/d, up 2.53 million b/d on the year.Growth will moderate in 2005 to 2.2%, or 1.8 million b/d, at 84 million b/d.
A global slowdown is beginning to affect oil demand, according to IEA figures.
Government efforts to cool down China’s overheating economy will cut oil demand growth more than half from 24.6% in the second quarter to 9% in the third, the IEA said.But uncertainty remains about the future in China where restrictions on trucking and economic growth could push down demand, while extra refining capacity could boost it.

参考答案【文章梗概】 　　本文主要讨论新闻记者的见解是否具有偏见。文章首先提出一个很多人都认可的观点，即新闻报道具有偏见，并佐以1996年美国总统竞选要人的言论来支持此观点。但随后，文章提出自己的观点，认为没有什么理由认为记者的个人态度会左右其对新闻的报道，并从记者本人、编辑和受众多重角度进行了详尽的分析。但是文章也认为记者也会歪曲事实真相，电视报道尤为如此，当然文章也对此进行了详尽的说明和分析，最后文章引用权威人士的话总结，大众处于一个混乱的世界中，这个世界充斥着主观臆断和神秘的力量。 　　【参考答案】 　　综述内容应包括5个主要信息点和10个次要点信息中的5个。下划线部分为主要点，斜体部分为次要点。 Many people believe that the news is biased in favor of one point of view.During the 1996 presidential campaign, Bob Dole often charged that the press was against him “Annoy the Media-Elect Dole” became one of his favorite lines.The charge that the media have a liberal bias has become a familiar one in American politics, and there is some limited evidence to support it.1 A lengthy study by the Los Angeles Times in the mid-1980s found that reporters were twice as likely to call themselves liberal as the general public.A 1992 survey of 1,400 journalists found that 44 percent identified themselves as Democrats, compared to just 16 percent who said they were Republicans. However, there is little reason to believe that journalists’ personal attitudes sway their reporting of the news.The vast majority of social science studies have found that reporting is not systematically biased toward a particular ideology or party.2Most stories are presented in a “point/counterpoint” format3 in which two opposing points of view (such as liberal versus conservative) are presented, and the audience is left to draw its own conclusions.A number of factors explain why the news is typically characterized by such political neutrality.Most reporters strongly believe in journalistic objectivity, and those who practice it best are usually rewarded by their editors.4 In addition, media outlets have a direct financial stake in attracting viewers and subscribers and do not want to lose their audience by appearing biased5—especially when multiple versions of the same story are readily available.It seems paradoxical to say the competition produces uniformity, but this often happens in the news business. To conclude that the news contains little explicit partisan or ideological bias is not to argue that it does not distort reality in its coverage.Ideally, the news should mirror reality; in practice there are far too many possible stories for this to be the case.Journalists must choose which stories to cover and to what degree.6The overriding bias is toward stories that will draw the largest audience.7 Surveys show that people are most fascinated by stories with conflict, violence, disaster, or scandal.Good news is unexciting; bad news has the drama that brings in big audiences.8 Television is particularly biased toward stories that generate good pictures.Seeing a talking head (a shot of a person’s face talking directly to the camera) is boring; viewers will switch channels in search of more interesting visual stimulation.9 For example, during an unusually contentious and lengthy interview of George Bush by Dan Rather concerning the Iran-Contra scandal, CBS’s ratings actually went down as people tired of watching two talking heads argue for an extended period of time.A shot of ambassadors squaring off in a fistfight at the United Nations, on the other hand, will increase the ratings.Such a scene was shown three times in one day on CBS.Not once, though, was the cause of the fight discussed.Network practices like these have led observers such as Lance Bennett to write that “the public is exposed to a worm driven into chaos by seemingly arbitrary and mysterious forces.”10
