At dawn on September 5th, 1972 a band of "Black September" Arab guerrillas broke into the Israeli building in the Olympic village near Munich where 10,000 athletes were staying. Over 250 plain clothes police had been brought into the village, following a tip?off of trouble ahead, but none of them saw the Arabs scale the fence. They burst into the Israeli building with submachine guns blazing at 5:10 am. Some Israeli athletes escaped through the windows and side doors. Nine were taken hostage. The guerrillas demanded the release of 200 Palestinians held in
Israeli jails and a safe passage out of Germany. Within hours the Olympic village was surrounded by 13000 police. The Olympic Games were suspended. After some negotiations, the terrorists were told they would be flown with their hostages to an Arab country. They were taken by helicopter to the Furstenfield military airport 25 miles from Munich. Just before midnight the guerrillas and their hostages began to walk across the tarmac to a waiting Boeing 727 aircraft. Suddenly al the airport lights were turned out and German police sharp?shooters opened fire. The rescue attempt failed tragically.

Questions 26 to 30 are based on the following passage:?
Follow the following tips to reduce your stress to manageable levels! Avoid "
Must" think. Let go of the notion that you must do something in a certain way-for example, "I must get a great score on a test, or else." This thought pattern only adds to the stress you'll feel. Evaluate your situation coldly and analytically, and not as a "life?or?death" situation. Watch the Mess. Don't study in a messy or cramped area. Clear yourself a nice, open space that's free of distractions. Set Manageable Goals. Break large projects into smaller?and doable
?parts and you'll feel a positive sense of accomplishment as you finish each part.
Ocean Dumping. Visualize yourself walking on a beautiful beach, carrying a sand
pail. Stop at a good spot and put your worries into the pail. Drop the pail and
watch as it drifts away into the ocean. Think Good Thoughts. Create a set of positive but brief affirmations and mentally repeat them to yourself just before you fall asleep at night, and you will feel a lot more positive in the morning. Imagine
Yourself Succeeding. Close your eyes and remember a real?life situation in which you did well. Imagine facing your stressful situation with the same feelings
of confidence. Use Your Bed for Sleeping, not Studying. Your mind may start to
associate your bed with work, which will make it harder for you to fall asleep.
Soothing Sounds. If you want to play music, keep it low in the background. Classical music especially can aid the learning process. Take a Hike, Pal. Need a study break? Take a short, brisk walk. Clear your mind.
?26.If you meet a great difficulty, how can you reduce your stress?

Questions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage:?
It isn't often that an entire industry is symbolized in the figure of a single
human being, and such is the case with Canadian aviation and the aircraft industry. The man is the Hon. John A.D.McCurdy, and the life story of this still vigorous, distinguished Canadian is at once and at the same time the thrilling history
of aviation's progress in Canada.
?It all began one cold February day in 1909 at Baddeck, Nova Scotia, when John
McCurdy confounded the critics by flying the Silver Dart, an aircraft designed by
himself, for half a mile over the ice of Bras deor Lakes. This was the first po
wered flight in Canada and the first by a British subject in the Commonwealth.
McCurdy gave proof of his flying ability-and of the development and the use of the aileron?by being the first man in the world to execute a figure eight in
the air. He became the first to pilot a flying boat, taking off from Long Island Sound. He flew the first airplane to Mexico. In 1911 he had made the longest flight
to date, and that over open sea 90 miles from Key West to Havana. He won the first cross?country race in Canada?40 miles from Hamilton to Toronto-and he transmitted the first radio message from aircraft.
?When World War Ⅱ came, McCurdy took on board supervisory authority for Canadian aircraft production by serving with the government in various senior positions.
?Following World War Ⅱ, McCurdy was honored by being made lieutenant governor
of Nova Scotia where he made Canada's first historic flight. He now lives in Montreal with a summer home in Baddeck, site of his first flight.

Questions 36 to 40 are based on the following passage:?
The oldest and simplest method, then of describing differences in personality
was to classify people according to types, and such a system is called a Typology.
?A famous example of this method was set forth in Greece about the year 400 BC.
A physician named Hippocrates theorized that there were four fluids, or humors, in the body. Corresponding to each humor, he believed, there existed a definite type of personality.
?The four humors were blood, yellow bile, black bile, and phlegm. A person in whom all four humors were in perfect balance had a harmonious personality. If a person had too much blood, he was called sanguine(血红色), or cheerful and optimistic. Someone with too much yellow bile was choleric, or irritable and easily angered. Too much black bile made a person melancholy, or depressed and pessimistic. An oversupply of phlegm caused a human being to be phlegmatic, or slow and unfeeling. Scientists have long since discarded Hippocrates' fluid theory. But the
names of the humors, corresponding to these temperaments, have survived and are still useful, to some extent, in describing personality.
?Other features of people, such as their faces and physics, have also been used
to classify personality. Today, however, personality theories and classifications
may also include factors such as heredity(遗传特征), the environment, intelligence
, and emotional needs. Psychology, biology, and sociology are involved in these
theories. Because of the complexity of human personality, present?day theories are often very different from one another. Psychologists vary in their ideas about what is most important in determining personality.
?36.According to Hippocrates' fluid theory, a man with too much phlegm will be ____.
?A.optimistic B.easily angered
?C.unexcitable D.pessimistic
?37.The main idea of this passage is about ____.
?A.the complicated factors in determining one's personality
?B.Hippocrates' fluid theory and its development
?C.the past and today of personality classifications and theories
?D.different personalities and their details
?38.At present, psychologists ____.
?A.have common opinion about personality theories and classifications
?B.use biology, archaeology and sociology to study personality theories
?C.have abandoned Hippocrates' fluid theory entirely
?D.all agree that human beings are characterized with complex ?personalities
?39.The third paragraph mainly talks about ____.
?A.Hippocrates' fluid theory
?B.scientists' points of view on Hippocrutes' fluid theory
?C.Hippocrates' fluid theory and its fate
?D.defects in Hippocrates' fluid theory
?40.According to this passage the factors which are still NOT used to clas
sify personality are ____.
?A.one's born features and needs of love and success
?B.one's height and weight
?C.one's hobbies and ideals
?D.the environment and intelligence
?

? 3.我们应采取正确态度来解决这些问题。

答案部分

?Part Ⅰ
?
?1.答案D。
?【试题分析】 从选项中可推断此题是考地点、场所的题，而
且只可能在汽车站、机场、
火车站及自助餐厅四个范围之内。
?【关键词语】 train; coffee; late
?【详细解答】 此题很少能因听到"train"而误选了C。但应
注意D项的地点比C更为确切
，而且"coffee"应为学生熟悉的词汇，且女士回答时用了"to drink"，更肯定了D为最
佳答案。
?【作者建议】应注意选项之间的细微差别，谨慎对待。[ZK)
]
?2.答案D。
?【试题分析】 此题从D项中可推断问题可能是"How long di
d he wait?"，因此在听的
时候要特别注意时间。
?【关键词语】 didn't have to wait; just as
?【详细解答】 此题男士的回答为关键部分，即使漏听了前半
部分。也可根据后半部分的
"just as"推测出答案。"A bus came just as I got to the bus stop"说明他根本用
不着等车。
?3.答案C。
?【试题分析】 从选项分析此题可能考"What is he going t
o do ?"，应特别注意有"h
e
"的句子。而且对话是与做饭、洗碗、准备餐桌等日常生活密切相关的，只要抓住关键词就
不难判断。
?【关键词语】 set the table
?【详细解答】 对话中提到的只有两种动作，一是"set the
table"，另一个是"cooking"，只要听清是男士还是女士在cooking就能得到正确答案。
?【作者建议】不要忽视对话中两人的性别。
?4.答案A。
?【试题分析】 此题也是考有关"What did he do?"的题型
。只是选项关联不很明显，要
注意仔细听对话。
?【关键词语】 Well; save money; not to go away
?【详细解答】 此题除B项容易排除外，A、C、D都被提及，应
注意从男士回答的口气"well"中，推断D的可能性不大，而C是A的目的，即"save money to buy a car"。男士最后
一句回答"So we decided not to go away"更证实了A为正确选项。
?5.答案B。
?【试题分析】此题选项之间的关系似乎不大，但A、C、D暗示
B中的"paper"可能说是new
spaper， 则听起来就有方向性了。
?【详细解答】 此题实际比想象中简单，因为B项是对话中女
士所问问题的一部分，"Have
you seen this job in the paper?"，答案显然是B。"in the paper"为修饰成分，不
是中心词。
?6.答案B。
?【试题分析】 此题是判断"she"的反应或态度的问题。
?【关键词语】 dinner; think so
?【详细解答】 如果学生熟悉日常用语中表邀请及回答的句型
，尤其是"I think so"，
即能化难为易。"I think so"表示赞同对方的意见，为一种肯定回答。
?7.答案D。
?【试题分析】 此题从B、D中可推断问题可能是"where to go?"。即考地点，去向的问
题。
?【关键词语】 different
?【详细解答】 男士回答中"but"表明新的情况可能出现，
应留意but后面的内容，"do
something different"，因此D为最佳答案，即他们不去Paris 而去somewhere else 。
?8.答案D。
?【试题分析】 从选项中分析，问题肯定与"He "的学习及
可能是英语学习有关。A、D两
项意义完全相反，而A、C两项的侧重点不同。
?【关键词语】 isn't very good; forget quickly
?【详细解答】 参照选项去听，逐一判断。从女士的回答"Oh, no"可推测Tony的英语说
得不好，也的确如此。"Tony's English isn't very good"据此可排除A，直接选D。
?9.答案A。
?【试题分析】 首先学生应了解"cut down"的含义为"减少
"。此题肯定与戒烟有关，
戒还是没戒?不想戒还是在戒烟上有困难?都应是在听对话前应考虑的问题，带着问题，针对
性地去听才有把握迅速、正确地选出答案。
?【关键词语】 lack; will
?【详细解答】 此题对话不长，关键词在"lack"和"will"
。lack表示"缺少"，will
此处表示"意志力，志愿"。因此可判断此男士根本不是真的想戒烟。
?10.答案C。
?【试题分析】 此题从选项可推测，对话可能与"test"尤其
是"score of test"有关。
?【关键词语】 Don't worry
?【详细解答】 从女士的一句"Don't worry"就可排除A、D
。至于B更是在排除之内。结果还未出来，何必再打电话询问?

1?
?【解题思路】 从11-13题的选项中，尤其是12和13题的选项
中可推测，此篇短文内容
可能与外星人(金星人或火星人)有关，要不就是人类探索太空世界，尤其是金星或火星。听
此短文时，头脑中先应有这些问题，并边听边关注选项，看是否有相应的内容被提及。若四
个选项中只有一项被提及，则很有可能是正确答案。
?11.答案B。
?【详细解答】 问题是"Was Wells successful?"。从听到
的内容得知"...made Wells o
ne of the most famous... writers"很明显答案是B。definitely肯定地。
?12.答案C。
?【详细解答】 文章中只提到Mars，而未提到Venus，因此可
排除A、B。短文中不止一次提
到"from another planet"而不是"to another planet"，因此可断定是外星人到地球上
来。
?13.答案C。
?【详细解答】 此题从短文后半部分可得知"The disease of
the earth had killed the
Martians"。至少A、B、D均未被提及，而"disease"这一关键词，暗示C即为正确选项。

?2?
?【解题思路】 从14--16题的选项中，首先可推测短文内容
与一名叫Nancy的妇女有关，
其职业可能是警察。正因其是名女警，别人对此肯定议论纷纷。边听边排除与所听内容不符
的选项。
