A.Damaging public facilities. B.Destroying urban wildlife. C.Organising rallies in the park. D.Hurting baby animals in the zoo.
（分数：3.00） A. B. √ C. D.
解析：[听力原文] W: Mr. Stern. may I ask you? Do you think it was necessary and fair to arrest Steve Bril? M: I don't know whether you realise that this man has been eating our park for five years. And he is encouraging other people to do the same thing every single day. He has been organising groups to destroy our urban wildlife. W: But Mr. Stern, this situation has been going on happily for five years. Why do you suddenly decide to do something about it? M: Well, at first, we just thought he was an eccentric person, a bit odd, you know. But over the years we came to realise that he is a dangerous guy. He has been mining our city environment. Parks are to look at, not to eat. It's just as if you're going to allow people to walk through a zoo, and eat the baby bears. W: But surely you or your park keepers, Mr. Stern, could have discouraged Mr. Bril from his activity without going to such drastic measures, without arresting him. M: Steve is a nice fellow, but what he is doing is illegal. He knows an awful lot about wild weeds. We'll be very happy to let him organise tours if he just wouldn't eat the plants and wouldn't encourage other people to do so, too. You never know what this could lead to, all sorts of people mining our park in all sorts of ways. This kind of thing is very definitely criminal behaviour and must be stopped. What does the man say Steve Bril has been doing? [解析] 事实细节题。对话中女士问男士抓捕Steve的行为是否有必要和公平，男士列出了Steve的各种罪状，其中最后提及的就是破坏城市野生动植物。 (2).

A.Brutal. B.Justifiable. C.Too harsh. D.Well-deserved.
（分数：3.00） A. B. C. √ D.
解析：[听力原文] What does the woman think of the action taken against Steve Bril? [解析] 观点态度题。对话中女士提到大家应该在事情一开始时就对Steve进行阻止，这样事情就不会发展到现在不可收拾的地步，也不用非得采取逮捕他这样严厉的措施了。由此可以推测，女士认为抓捕行动过于严厉。 (4).
A.Encouraging others to follow his wrong-doing. B.Stealing endangered animals from the zoo. C.Organising people against the authorities. D.Attacking the park keepers in broad daylight.

解析：[听力原文] What finally led to Steve Bril's arrest? [解析] 推理判断题。对话中男士提到如果Steve不去破坏植物，不鼓励他人这样做，是不会被抓捕的。由此可以推测，Steve被抓捕是由于其鼓励他人仿效自己的错误行为。

Christopher, my youngest child, is in the last year of junior school. He is much more practically oriented, strong in math and science. M: He will be going to a comprehensive school. I suppose. W: We have the choice of three comprehensive schools. M: Really? It's unusual to have so many to choose from. W: Well, yes. Parter School seems to have done all right. We're er...um...There're certain criticisms about it, but on the whole, we are not too dissatisfied. M: Well, generally speaking, what do you think one considers when one is trying to choose? Well, I don't know if one can really choose one school actually you tend to. Children go where they're sent. W: You can't er...um...very easily unless you are very rich and can afford to choose a private school. And since we're not very rich, we've got all three children to consider. We can't do that. So they go to the local comprehensive school. What really matters is, you know, the quality of the staff, the size of the school. I think the size of the school has a lot to do with it.

A.Encourage the students to do creative thinking. B.Help the students to develop communication skills. C.Cultivate the students' ability to inspire employees. D.Focus on teaching the various functions of business.
（分数：3.00） A. B. C. D. √
解析：[听力原文] Years ago, when I was a young assistant professor at the Harvard Business School, I thought that the key to developing managerial leadership lay in raw brain power. I thought the role of business schools was to develop future managers who knew all about the various functions of business. My thinking gradually became tempered by living and working outside the United States and by serving seven years as a college president. During my presidency of Babson College, I added several traits or skills that I felt a good manager must possess. The first is the ability to express oneself in a clear, articulate fashion. Good oral and written communication skills are absolutely essential if one is to be an effective manager. Second, one must possess the required set of qualities called leadership skills. To be a good leader, one must understand and be sensitive to people and be able to inspire them toward the achievement of common goals. Next, I concluded that effective managers must be broad human beings who not only understand the world of business but also have a sense of the cultural, social, political, historical, and the international aspects of life and society. This suggests that exposure to the liberal arts and humanities should be part of every manager's education. Finally, as I pondered the business and government-related scandals that have occupied the front pages of newspapers, it became clear that a good manager in today's world must have courage and a strong sense of integrity. He must know where to draw the line between right and wrong. What did the speaker use to think business schools should do to produce managers? [解析] 事实细节题。短文开头，说话者提到当其还是个年轻的助理教授的时候，他认为商业学校的作用就是教会学生各种各样的商业功能。由此可知，说话者认为商业学校对未来经理人的培养重点应该放在各种各样的商业功能上。 (2).

A.Reports on business and government corruption. B.His contact with government and business circles. C.Discoveries of cheating among MBA students. D.The increasing influence of the mass media.
（分数：3.00） A. √ B. C. D.
解析：[听力原文] What convinced the speaker that managers need a sense of integrity? [解析] 事实细节题。短文最后一点提到了媒体上经常报道的商业和政府姒闻，因此经理人还需具有勇气与正义感。

（分数：9.00） (1).
A.They have better options for their kids than colleges. B.The unreasonably high tuition is beyond their means.
C.The quality of higher education may not be worth the tuition. D.They think that their kids should pay for their own education.
（分数：3.00） A. B. C. √ D.
解析：[听力原文]
With top colleges charging as much as $50,000 per year, the idea that students may spend their first two years learning next-to-nothing is enough to make parents pause. How can you make that investment worthwhile? And does going to college really make you smarter? It depends on what you study and whether you study enough. A discussion at The New York Times this week tackled the issue, with several academics weighing in on whether college is worthwhile, and whether schools are dumbing down their curricula to appeal to more people. In their new book, Academically Adrift, sociologists Richard Arum and Josipa Roksa found that 32 percent of the students they followed did not take \"any courses with more than 40 pages of reading per week\" in a typical semester, and half of the students didn't take \"any courses in which they had to write more than 20 pages for the class.\" Using these criteria, they determined that 45 percent of college students make little academic progress during the first two years of a four-year degree. Their research raises a few red flags. On the one hand, is it any surprise that a public school system forced to \"teach to the test\" produces large numbers of students who are unwilling to think analytically, learn on their own, or write a research paper? On the other, does the number of pages read plus the number of pages written equals an accurate assessment of academic progress? A literature or history major, for instance, would have far more reading to do than a math major, but the math workload isn't lighter lifting just because it involves reading fewer pages per week.
Why do parents hesitate to pay for their kids' college education according to the speaker?
[解析] 细节推断题。短文开头指出，现在顶级学府的收费高达每年5万美元，但在大学的前两年，学生可能还一无所获，这就足以让家长望而却步了。由此可知，家长们在高额学费面前踌躇的主要原因是投资可能不能获得相应的回报。 (2).
A.They do too many extracurricular activities. B.They tend to select less demanding courses. C.They take part-time jobs to support themselves. D.They think few of the courses worth studying.
（分数：3.00） A. B. √ C. D.
解析：[听力原文] What does the survey by the two sociologists show about the students? [解析] 推理判断题。短文中提到，两位社会学家的调查发现，很多学生不会选择阅读量和写作量较大的课程。因此可以推断，学生们倾向于选择要求较低的课程。 (3).
A.Its samples are not representative enough. B.Its significance should not be underestimated. C.Its findings come as a surprise to many parents.
D.Its criteria for academic progress are questionable.
（分数：3.00） A. B. C. D. √
解析：[听力原文] What does the speaker imply about the research by the two sociologists? [解析] 推理判断题。短文中提到两位社会学家的研究存在一定问题。一方面，公立学校被迫进行“应试教育”，培养出来的学生不愿进行分析性思考、独立学习或撰写研究论文；另一方面，说话者对“读书量+写作量=学术能力的进步”这个公式的合理性提出了质疑。由此可以推断，两位社会学家的研究提出的学术进步的标准是值得怀疑的。

A.A newly married couple. B.A business acquaintance. C.Someone good at cooking. D.Someone you barely know.
（分数：3.00） A. B. C. D. √
解析：[听力原文] Entertaining a close circle of friends isn't usually difficult. You all know each other so there's no problem about conversation. And even if the food is a bit sketchy, no one really minds because they've come to see you, not get a free meal. Well, most of them anyway. It's the guests you don't know very well who present unexpected traps. Therefore, in such categories, as the new husband or wife, boyfriend or girlfriend of an intimate friend, the business acquaintances who may be useful to your career, worst of all, the totally unpredictable friend of a friend, my advice in such cases is if you're an indifferent cook, don't do any cooking. It's far better to stick to coffee and drinks, with a few expensive biscuits on the side. You can always plead that your flat is too small for more than two to eat comfortably, that you get home too late to prepare a decent meal, that your oven is on the blink. Any reasonable excuses will do, even it's not believed. If you fancy yourself as a cook, and are anxious to make a good impression, do your homework first. Nothing is more discouraging than to spend hours preparing a delicious meat dish followed by, say, fresh strawberries, only to discover that your first-time guest is a strict vegetarian or is on a slimming diet. This may result in the rest of you tucking into a vast meal while your guest toys suspiciously with a few sides of tomato. \"No, thank you, I won't have any creamed carrots out for my waist line.\" What kind of guest is most likely to give you a hard time according to the speaker? [解析] 细节推断题。短文开头说，招待一位密友通常并不难，大家彼此都很了解，所以不用担心没得聊，即使是食物有点差，也不会有人真的介意。反而是那些你几乎不太了解的客人，会给你带来意想不到的麻烦。 (2).
A.Obtain necessary information about your guests. B.Collect a couple of unusual or exotic recipes. C.Buy the best meat and the freshest fruit. D.Try to improve your cooking skills.
（分数：3.00） A. √ B. C. D.
解析：[听力原文] What should you do before preparing a meal for your guests? [解析] 推理判断题。短文中提到，招待几乎不太了解的客人，最好不要下厨，可以准备些咖啡、饼干之类的东西，并找些诸如自己家太小等借口。如果自己真想露一手，那么事先要做好功课。如果你准备了美味的肉食，却发现对方是素食主义者或者正在节食，会很扫兴的。可以推断，所谓的事先做功课指的是事先了解客人的喜好和习惯等必要信息。 (3).
A.Losing weight. B.Entertaining guests. C.Making friends. D.Cooking meals.
（分数：3.00） A. B. √ C. D.
解析：[听力原文] What is the speaker mainly talking about? [解析] 推理判断题。短文开头就提到密友好招待，最难的是不熟悉的朋友。继而又建议不熟悉的朋友到家里来时，最好不要下厨，实在要下厨需要提前了解好客人的喜好和习惯等必要信息再下厨。综合全篇内容及信息可知，短文主要说明了如何招待客人。
