半数以上的人都骑车。这些自行车租一整天只需17-20美元。阿姆斯特丹还拥有良好的运河系统。只需花上2-9.5美元，你就可以从任何地方乘坐河上巴士或水上的士游览这座“北方的威尼斯”。你还可以看到别具一格的水上房子：那些一排排用褐色砂石砌成的，整洁而狭窄的，开着大大窗户的四层住宅非常值得一看。其中很多房子已经有几百年历史了。声明：本资料由听力课堂网站收集整理，仅供英语爱好者学习使用，资料版权属于原作者。-45-n听力课堂,开放式外语学习平台！TingClass.com你也可以在MuseumQuarter博物馆下车步行到梵高美术馆、伦勃朗故居等地。在那儿，你可以欣赏到许多荷兰艺术家，如伦勃朗、Bruegel、梵高和其他艺术家的杰作。(84)阿姆斯特丹非常珍视它的历史。其中之一就是位于NineStreets的安妮弗兰克博物馆。二战期间，这位年轻的犹太女孩儿正是在那儿写下了她举世瞩目的日记。在那儿，游客不仅可以看到原版的安妮日记，还可以从书架后面爬到安妮和她的家人藏身的房间。为了逃避纳粹的迫害，安妮和她的家人在那间房间里藏了两年之久。▼试题分析81.C）推断题。(Paras.1~2)Whenthesunisup,thelargestcityintheNetherlandssitsquietlyontheAmstelRiver.Youcanrentabicycle,visittheVanGoghorAnneFrankmuseum,ortakeawatertaxi.Butwhenthesungoesdown,thepartyingbegins.Inthebigclubsandincoffeeshops,touristsgathertohangout,talkpoliticsandsmoke.阿姆斯特丹是荷兰最大的城市，它静静地坐落在Amstel河畔。当太阳升起时，你可以租上一辆自行车或乘坐水上的士去参观梵高美术馆或安妮弗兰克博物馆。但当太阳落山后，聚会就开始了。在大的酒吧和咖啡馆里，游客们三五成群地聚在一起或四处闲逛，或谈论政治或吞云吐雾。82.B）细节题。(Paras.4~5)Forexample,DamSquareattractsdaytimesightseerstoitsfestivals,openmarkets,concertsandotherevents.ButaseveningdescendsonDamSquaresodotheparty-seekers.在这两段中，作者着力阐述DamSquare具有两重娱乐性。83.A)推断题。本题可以采用排除法。①(Lines2~3,Para.6)AlthoughDutchistheofficiallanguage,mostpeopleinAmsterdamspeakEnglishandarehappytohelpyouwithdirections.尽管荷兰语是当地的官方语言，阿姆斯特丹的大多数人都说英语并且非常乐意为你指路。(由此排除B和C)②(Line1,Para.7)Andyou’llnoticethathalfthepeopleinthestreetsareonbicycles.而且你会发现大街上半数以上的人都骑车。(由此排除D)84.B）推断题。①(Line1,Para.1)WhenthesunisupinAmsterdam,thelargestcityintheNetherlandssitsquietlyontheAmstelRiver.阿姆斯特丹是荷兰最大的城市，它静静地坐落在Amstel河畔。因此阿姆斯特丹是个安静(quiet)的城市。②(Lines1~3,Para.5)HippoporfunkmusicbeginsblaringfromClubParadisoandClubMelkweg.ThesearetwoofthemostpopularclubsinEurope.Soifyoucome,bereadytodance.Theclubsdon’tshutdownuntil4am.声明：本资料由听力课堂网站收集整理，仅供英语爱好者学习使用，资料版权属于原作者。-45-n听力课堂,开放式外语学习平台！TingClass.com天堂俱乐部和Melkweg俱乐部里开始奏响街舞或乡土音乐的旋律。这两个酒吧是欧洲最受欢迎的酒吧之一。因此，如果你来到这儿，就准备好起舞吧。这些酒吧直到凌晨4才打烊。因此阿姆斯特丹又是个现代(modern)的城市。③(Line1,Para.11)Thecityhasanappreciationofitshistoricpast.阿姆斯特丹非常珍视它的历史。因此阿姆斯特丹也是个有历史(historic)的城市。综上所述，阿姆斯特丹是个令人愉悦(delight)的城市。A、C、D三个选项都只反映了阿姆斯特丹的某一个特点，不够全面。TEXTB◎参考译文这是一篇说明文。文章通过举例阐述了英语里的许多单词都来源于神话和传说这一事实。在一篇文章中，中国学者被描述成是“被神秘的龙骨象形文字逗弄的人”。(85)Tantalized(逗弄)是众多来源于过去的神话和传说（如希腊和罗马神话）的英语单词之一。动词Tantalize的意思很特别：“：将某种令人渴望的事物摆在一个人面前然后又把它拿走，从而达到以唤起希望来戏弄他人的目的。”(86)在许多（并非全部）英语字典里，一个词释义的前面或后面通常有一个括号，括号里简单地给出了这个词的来源。对于Tantalize这个词，字典给出了如下的解释：[>Tantalus]找到。这表示你得找到Tantalus这个名字从而找出Tantalize这个词的根源。如果你这样做的话，你就会发现，在希腊神话里，丹达罗斯（Tantalus）是一位国王，因其犯过罪而被打入阴间并被罚站立在下巴深的水中，当他想去饮水时水即流走，其头上挂有水果，但当他想拿水果时却退开。(87)现在你能猜到为什么他的名字变成了动词表示“以唤起欲望来戏弄或折磨某人”的意思了吗？另一个例子是siren这个词。我们所熟悉的siren是一种当警车、救护车或消防车靠近时发出警报的机械装置。这个词同样来源于《希腊神话》。旅行者奥德修斯（Odysseus，也就是罗马神话中的尤利西斯（Ulysses））命令他的人塞住自己的耳朵，这样他们就可以听不见塞壬（siren）们危险的歌声了。塞壬是一群半人半鸟的女海妖，用她们美妙的歌声诱惑船员，从而使船只在岛屿周围触礁沉没。因此这个词总是与尖锐的声音和危险联系在一起。(88)当某人提到“jovial的情绪”或是“herculean的努力”时，他或她就用到了自神话中来的单词了。你可以通过查字典找到这些词的意思以及它们与神话的关系。许多常见的单词，如一周的日子和一年的月份的命名同样来自于神话故事。(88)星期三（Wednesday）起源于众神之一，古代挪威王沃登（Woden），而星期四（Thursday）最早写作Thor’sday，为纪念雷神托尔（Thor）而以他的名字命名。(88)事实上，所有的行星，除了我们生活的地球外，都是以罗马神话中神的名字命名的，包括离太阳最远的行星，正因为如此，这颗星是以罗马神话中死神的名字命名的。这位神还用他的名字命名了一种化学元素。许多其它元素的名字同样来自于神话故事。看来神话和传说仍然继续活在英语里。声明：本资料由听力课堂网站收集整理，仅供英语爱好者学习使用，资料版权属于原作者。-45-n听力课堂,开放式外语学习平台！TingClass.com▼试题分析85.C）推断题。(Lines1~2,Para.1)从第一段的第二句话…TantalizedisoneofmanyEnglishwordsthathavetheiroriginsinmythsandlegendsofthepast(inthiscase,GreekandRomanones).可知Tantalized(逗弄)是众多来源于过去的神话和传说（如希腊和罗马神话）的英语单词之一，这恰与文章的主题相符。86.D)细节题。(Lines5~6,Para.1)Many(butnotall)Englishdictionariesgiveyouabriefindicationofaword’soriginsinbracketsbeforeoraftertheexplanationofthemeaning.在许多（并非全部）英语字典里，一个词释义的前面或后面通常有一个括号，括号里简单地给出了这个词的来源。由此可知，所有的英文字典均提供词语解释，但并非所有的字典都给出了词源，因此A、B、C三个选项是不对的87.A)推断题。(Lines7~12,Para.1)Thismeansthat…Canyouseewhyhisnamewaschangedintoaverbmeaning“toteaseortormentbyarousingdesire”?这表示……现在你能猜到为什么他的名字变成了动词表示“以唤起欲望来戏弄或折磨某人”的意思了吗？据此推断可知，作者以Tantalize为例是为了说明这个词是从哪里来的，恰与文章主题与选项A“说明这个词是如何形成的”说法一致。而非像D所说是“为了说明词义的变化过程”。88.C)细节题。(Lines3~4,Para.4)Asamatteroffact,alltheplanets,excepttheoneweliveon,bearnamesthatcomefromRomanmythology,….事实上，所有的行星，除了我们生活的地球外，都是以罗马神话中神的名字命名的，……。A和B选项在文章的第三段和第四段中可以明确地找到答案，而选项D则见第四段的第一句：Manycommonwords,suchasthenamesforthedaysoftheweekandthemonthsoftheyear,alsocomefrommythology.许多常见的单词，如一周的日子和一年的月份的命名同样来自于神话故事。March是一年中的第三个月，由此可知，它也是从神话中来的。89.B)主旨题。作者以“tantalize”，“siren”，“jovialmood””，“herculeaneffort”等词或短语为例，并在第四段第一开始就说许多常见的单词，如一周的日子和一年的月份的命名同样来自于神话故事，由此可推知，作者这样写的目的就是为了说明阐述了英语里的许多单词都来源于神话和传说这一事实。B很好地概括了本文的主题。TEXTC◎参考译文这是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了一位生在美国长在美国的美国作家，因为名字问题，出国时在机场屡屡遭到办理移民手续的官员的歧视和刁难的故事，从而发出了在这样一个以民主和自由著称的国度里，做一个真正的美国人很难的感慨。当那个坐在办理移民手续的柜台后面的人朝着后面房间里的人打手势的时候，我的心一沉。我生在美国长在美国，而这里是迈阿密，我生活的地方，但他们似乎仍没有做好接受我的准备。声明：本资料由听力课堂网站收集整理，仅供英语爱好者学习使用，资料版权属于原作者。-45-n听力课堂,开放式外语学习平台！TingClass.com“请在这里等候，Abujaber女士”，那个移民局的官员说道。我的丈夫有个非常美国化的姓。这时候，他一直陪在我身边。他早已习惯了这一切。前不久，当我飞到加拿大蒙特利尔为一个图书活动发言的时候，同样的事情也发生过。那次，他们把我滞留了45分钟之久。这次，我们是刚参加完在牙买加举行的一个文学盛会返回美国，而我惊异地发现我再一次被“送到了后面”。(90)柜台后的那个官员叫我说：“小姐，你的名字看起来和我们通缉名单上的某个人的名字很像。因此我们得和华盛顿方面核实一下。”“那需要多久？”“很难说…几分钟吧，”他说，“核查完后我们会叫你的。”一小时过去了，华盛顿方面仍然没有对我做出任何决定。“现在办公不都实现电脑化了吗？”我问柜台：“难道你不能仔细看看我吗？”又过了几分钟，他们确认了我的身份。一个半小时以后，我掏出手机打电话给我那晚要见的朋友。(91)一个官员冲了过来：“不准打电话！”他说。“说不定你是在给恐怖分子打电话，给他们提供信息。”“我是个大学教授，”我尖叫道。“你当然是。我们每天都用脚镣把你们这样的人带走。”我放下了电话。我和我的丈夫又累又饿。全家都被带到了等候室，那里挤满了兴奋的孩子和疲惫不堪的家长，甚至还有一名空服人员。我想尖叫，想跳到椅子上大叫道：“我是美国公民，是个小说家；我很可能在教你的孩子英国文学。：”难道这一切都是我的罪过吗？在被扣留了两个小时以后，一个官员走进我，说：“你可以走了。”没有任何解释或道歉的话。好一会，我俩谁都没动，我们仍处于深深的震惊中。然后我们跳了起来。“对了，还有一件事。”他递给我一本破烂的复印本，本子上有个地址。“如果你们对今天的遭遇不满的话，你们可以给这个部门写信投诉。”“他们会回信吗？”我问。“我不知道——我不知道以前有没有人给他们写过信。”他又说道，“顺便说一句，以后你们每次出国时可能都会发生同样的事情。”(92)“那么我们怎么做才能防止它再次发生呢？”声明：本资料由听力课堂网站收集整理，仅供英语爱好者学习使用，资料版权属于原作者。-45-n听力课堂,开放式外语学习平台！TingClass.com(92)他不带任何感情地微微一笑，这种笑我们这一天来已经看到太多了。“绝对没有任何办法可以防止类似的事再发生。”我把这次痛苦的遭遇讲给我的几个朋友听，所听到的最多的建议就是叫我改名字。(93)20年前，我读研究生时教写作的教授曾建议我用笔名写作，这样出版商们就不会固执地把我列入他所谓的“种族隔离区”了——书店里一排单独放置的劣质的书架。但是名字是由一个人的个人属性和专业属性所构成的综合整体——就像你出生并且生长在那里的城市一样。我会像我的父亲一样继续使用这个名字，但我在机场的这次经历使我对多样性和宽容意味着什么有了一个全新的认识。(94)我从不知道做一个美国人会使这样的难。▼试题分析90.B)细节题。(Para.3)“Miss,yournamelookslikethenameofsomeonewho’sonourwantedlist.We’regoingtohavetocheckyououtwithWashington.”“小姐，你的名字看起来和我们通缉名单上的某个人的名字很像。因此我们得和华盛顿方面核实一下。”91.A)推断题。(Lines2~3,Para.8)“Forallweknowyoucouldbecallingaterroristcellandgivingtheminformation.”“不准打电话！”他说。“说不定你是在给恐怖分子打电话，给他们提供信息。”由此可以推断作者被禁止使用电话是因为移民局的官员还不能肯定他是否与恐怖分子有联系，换言之，还不能确定作者的身份。92.D)推断题。(Paras.18~19)“WhatcanIdotokeepitfromhappeningagain?”Hesmiledtheemptysmilewe’dseenallday.“Absolutelynothing.”“那么我们怎么做才能防止它再次发生呢？”他不带任何感情地微微一笑，这种笑我们这一天来已经看到太多了。“绝对没有任何办法可以防止类似的事再发生。”根据第18段和19段作者和那位官员的对话可知D是正确答案。93.B)推断题。(Lines2~4,Para.20)Twentyyearsago,myowngraduateschoolwritingprofessoradvisedmetowriteunderapennamesothatpublisherswouldn’tstickmeinwhathecalled“theethnicghetto”—aseparate,secondaryshelfinthebookstore.20年前，我读研究生时教写作的教授曾建议我用笔名写作，这样出版商们就不会固执地把我列入他所谓的“种族隔离区”了——书店里一排单独放置的劣质的书架。作者这一次在机场的遭遇和20年前教授建议她使用笔名一事有异曲同工之妙，都说明了在美国，种族歧视仍然存在。94.D)细节题。(Lines2~3,Para.21)本文最后，作者感叹道：“IhadnoideathatbeinganAmericanwouldeverbethishard.”——“我从不知道做一个美国人会使这样的难”。这是一种讽刺的说法，表现出作者对于这种现状的不满和无奈。TEXTD◎参考译文声明：本资料由听力课堂网站收集整理，仅供英语爱好者学习使用，资料版权属于原作者。-45-n听力课堂,开放式外语学习平台！TingClass.com这是一篇科普方面的文章。文章阐述了很多人害怕在众人面前演讲的原因，及演讲成功的关键在于尽可能地表现自然。演讲使很多人望而却步。首先是因为害羞，其次是害怕在众人面前露面且担心不能吸引听众。(95)女人尤其讨厌演讲，因为女孩子从小就感受到各种公开露面的压力。(96)很多人都有较强的不安全感，这项活动似乎可以引发人们的不安全感。如果你事事要求完美，那么你就会害怕在人们面前失败。(98)性格外向的人在这种折磨下比性格内向的人感受到的恐惧要小些，但这并不意味着他们一定会比性格内向的人做得更好。有些很害羞的人也能成功得使自己脱颖而出。当我见到英国喜剧演员JulianClary时，他显得害羞而谨慎，然而他的电视剧是却无可挑剔。(98)事实上，性格并不能最准确地预测出一个人能否成功。不管你在生活中是什么样子的，成功的秘诀似乎就是尽可能地表现自然。(97)像真正的演员那样表演，就像是在念别人的台词而不是你自己的台词一样，往往是行不通的。政治家会通过认真彩排来降低失败的风险，然而即使你照着写好的发言稿念，听众心里始终会对你所说的话的真实性存有疑问。(97)同样地，许多美国学者的完美地不可思议的演讲都极不自然。你可能会在听完演讲后买他们的书，但是很快，你会有一种莫名的上当受骗的感觉，就像吃完快餐食品后的感觉一样。尽管，EarlSpencer在他的妹妹戴安娜王妃的葬礼上的表现证明准备充分而又表现自然是可能的。(97)但是稿子很少能起作用，它只是大多数演讲者的拐杖而已。但是，表现自然同样行不通。如果你表现地好像在自家的厨房里说话那样，那样就过于真实了，而忘记了同听众进行交流。我还记得那次去听英国精神病学家R.D.Laing演讲时的情景。(99)当他即兴发言的时候表现地好像个十足的怪人。尽管他那天谈论的是有关疯狂的话题，而且他的文章写的是精神病，他看起来就像是在表演而不是在进行解释。(100)演讲时的最佳心理状态是无意识的自我意识，从而获得表现自然的幻觉。研究显示，这种被心理学家称之为“流动”的状态是最令人满意的。尽管，EarlSpencer在他的妹妹戴安娜王妃的葬礼上的表现证明准备充分而又表现自▼试题分析95.C)细节题。(Lines2~3,Para.1)Womenhateitmost,sincegirlsarepressurizedfromanearlyagetobeconcernedwithappearancesofallkinds.女人最讨厌演讲，因为女孩子从小就感受到各种公开露面的压力。声明：本资料由听力课堂网站收集整理，仅供英语爱好者学习使用，资料版权属于原作者。-45-n听力课堂,开放式外语学习平台！TingClass.com96.C)推段题。（Line1,Para.2）Mostpeoplehaveplentyofinsecurities,andthisseemslikeasituationthatwillbringthemout.很多人都有较强的不安全感，这似乎是造成这种局面的原因。根据上下文，指示代词this指代本篇主题：公开演讲。97.B)推断题。①（Lines1~2,Para.5）Actualacting,asinperformingthescriptedlinesofacharacterotherthanyourself,doesnotdothejob.像真正的演员那样表演，就像是在念别人的台词而不是你自己的台词一样，往往是行不通的。②（Para.6）Likewise,theincrediblyperfectspeechesofmanyAmericanacademicsarefarfromnatural.Youmayendupbuyingtheirbookonthewayout,butsoonafterwards,itismuchlikefastfood,andyougetanamelesssensethatyou’vebeencheated.同样地，许多美国学者的完美地不可思议的演讲都极不自然。你可能会在听完演讲后买他们的书，但是很快，你会有一种莫名的上当受骗的感觉，就像吃完快餐食品后的感觉一样。听完许多完美地不可思议的演讲后往往会有一种莫名的上当受骗的感觉。③（Line2,Para.7）Ascriptrarelyworksanditisusedtohelpmostspeakers.但是稿子很少能起作用，它只是大多数演讲者的拐杖而已。综合以上，可以推断出即使是精心准备的演讲也不一定能够博得听众的好感。98.D)推断题。本题采用排除法。①（Line1,Para.4）Infact,personalityisnotthebestpredictorofwhodoesitwell.事实上，性格并不能最准确地预测出一个人能否成功。A可以排除。②（Lines1~2,Para.3）Whileextrovertswillfeellessfearbeforetheordeal,itdoesnotmeantheywillnecessarilydoitbetter.Someveryshypeoplemanagetoshine.性格外向的人在这种折磨下比性格内向的人感受到的恐惧要小些，但这并不意味着他们一定会比性格内向的人做得更好。有些很害羞的人也能成功得使自己脱颖而出。B和C可以排除。99.B)推断题。(Para.9)Hebehavedlikeaseriouslyoddperson,talkingoffthetopofhishead.Althoughhewastalkingaboutmadnessandhewroteonmentalillness,heseemedtobeexhibitingratherthanexplainingit.当他即兴发言的时候表现地好像个十足的怪人。尽管他那天谈论的是有关疯狂的话题，而且他的文章写的是精神病，他看起来就像是在表演而不是在进行解释。因此R.D.Laing在演讲时更多搜是在表演，是在作秀。100.D)推断题。(Line1,Para.10)Thebestpsychologicalplacefromwhichtospeakisanunselfconsciousself-consciousness,providingtheillusionofbeingnatural.演讲时的最佳心理状态是无意识的自我意识，从而获得表现自然的幻觉。声明：本资料由听力课堂网站收集整理，仅供英语爱好者学习使用，资料版权属于原作者。-45-n听力课堂,开放式外语学习平台！TingClass.com声明：本资料由听力课堂网站收集整理，仅供英语爱好者学习使用，资料版权属于原作者。-45-
