　　Part A
　　1．light。对于天气预报这种形式的独白听力材料，考生最重要的是听清地点、时间和天气情况之间的对应关系。预读题目之后，放录音时一出现Chicag0这个地点名词，就应凝神细听。在指出Det，oit(底特律)和Lansing(兰辛)两地的气温后，紧跟着出现Chicago is reporting light showers一句，听清了这一句就不难写出正确答案。注意，light showers指的是“小雨”。
　　2．74／seventy-four。本题属于数字题，考生需要在听录音时不但要听清数字和地点、范围等的对应关系，还应能准确速记下来。独白第五句首先指出了Ann Arbor Airport的摄氏气温，然后紧接着一句进行说
　　明：That’S seventy-four degrees on the Fahrenheit scale，即华氏74度。
　　3．fair。在说明气温、相对湿度和污染指数之后，独自直接指出：The quality of our air is fair，即空气质
　　量不错。
　　4．cloudy。独自的第二部分是Extended Forecast。其中第二句指出：For tonight，we expect partly
　　cloudy conditions…，即今晚的天气是局部多云。
　　5．rainy。本题较为容易，答案对应之处是独自的最后一句：It looks like it will be a mild，but rainy
　　weekend，并且由于有but的强调作用，rainy一词大多数考生都不难听出。
　　Part B
　　6．independent learners。这是一篇讨论成功学习语言的独白。独自首先指出一些人似乎比别人学习语言要快、要轻松，然后分别说明了他们的三种类型(实际上就是三个方面的技巧)。在独自第二段第一句指出：First of all，successful language learners are independent learners，考生只要听清了这一句就能作答。考生要注意的是拼写。
　　7．pattern and rules。本题答案对应于独白第二段第三句话：Instead of．．．they try to find the pattern and rules for themselves，即这种类型的学习者不会等待老师来讲解，而是自己试图找出语言的模式和规则。
　　8．incorrect or incomplete。独自第三段指出的是第二种成功的语言学习者：积极的语言学习者。其中第五句指出：When communication is difficult，they can accept information that is incorrect or incomplete，即这种类型的学习者在交流困难时，可以接受不正确的和不完整的信息。
　　9．Learn to think。答案对应于独自第三段最后一句：It is more important for them to learn to think．．．，
　　题目只是把这一句变成了特殊疑问句。
　　10．Learners with purpose。独自第四段谈论的是最后一种成功的语言学习者，其中第一句指出：Finally，
　　successful language learners are learners with purpose，即有目的的学习者。
　　Part C
　　11．[C]。本题尽管带有推断性，但较为简单。精明一点的考生根据试卷上给出的关于这一段对话的说明(…who met at the bus station)即可猜出答案。这一点也可通过对话中的具体内容得以印证：在第二个话轮中，女士明确说明I’m waiting for the number seven myself(我自己就是在等七路车)。注意，在这个话轮中男士的话语中出现了the N0．7 bus，据此可知女士所说的N0．7也是指公共汽车。
　　12．[C]。本题属于推断题，有一定的难度。第三个话轮中两人开始谈论天气，注意这是陌生人之间开始交谈的一种最常见的方式。在这个话轮中男士先指出hot day，女士同意男士的看法，并说明自己希望下雨并凉快下来(rain and cool off)。接着在第四个话轮中，男士说：This is unusual for March，其中的this明显就是指热天气。既然hot对于三月来说不常见，那么反过来即可合理推知三月份常见的天气应是与hot相对的cool(凉快)了，故答案是[C]。
　　13．[C]。本题为细节捕捉题。在对话的结尾，男士指出：It never comes exactly on the half-hour like it should，说明公共汽车应当每隔半个小时准点过一趟，故本题答案就是[C]。有些考生由于没有听懂对话，只听到了上一个话轮女士回答中的I have twenty to one一处而误选了[B]项。事实上，女士在此说的是时间，这由其后面补充说明中的my watch is a little fast(我的表有点儿快)即可得知。
　　14．[B]。本题需要考生听完整个对话才能作出判定。从第一个话轮起，对话双方就表示出了他们意见的分歧：男士第一句话用a good idea而女士第一句话用not a very sound idea来描述通婚。而在后面的几个话轮中，尽管他们偶尔有相同的意见，但总体来说，男士赞成通婚而女士认为通婚带来的问题很多(即对通婚持反对态度)，故选[B]。
　　15．[A]。答案对应于第二个话轮中女士的第三句话：Marriage thrives on a give-and-take policy…。
　　16．[C]。本题答案信息对应于第四个话轮中女士的第三句话：It is only after marriage that．．．begin to show，用强调句表明婚后才会出现文化差异，[C]只是表达不同。
　　17．[D]。在第四个话轮中，女士分析了通婚带来的不利影响。其最后三句中提到了leading eventuallv to a rift(最终导致分手)、lead to a big gap between the parents(导致父母间出现分歧)、their children may suffer a lot(孩子们受很多的苦)，分别与前三个选项对应，故选ED]。
　　18．[B]。本题答案信息对应于独白第三句话：The total value…was$68900 million in l998，考生应
　　注意的是数字的读法，以及million与billion的发音区别。
　　19．[C]。本题答案对应于独白第五句话：,Some in the metal industry…will not seriouslv change the
　　way they do business，即他们认为新技术对他们的经营方式不会产生大的影响，选[C]。
　　20．[A]。本题答案对应于独自第六句话：They think that only standard and second class products will be traded through the web。而由前面一句可知这里的They指的就是some(people)in the metal industrv(冶金行业的一些人)，选[A]。
