[听力原文]21-25
Welcome to East Timor, one of the world's newest countries, and for the intrepid few, an emerging tourism destination with unspoiled natural beauty.
Hundreds of fish species have been recorded in East Timor's waters, a diversity that's enhanced by having very deep water so close to shore. East Timor is a former war zone and lacks a lot of basic infrastructure. After East Timor's vote for independence in 1999, Indonesian militias rampaged through the island. The subsequent recovery effort has been painfully slow. There are many changes to be made if tourism run by expatriates is to boost East Timor's meager economy. The government is anxious that new tourism developments don't rain East Timor's greatest asset, its natural beauty.
So, as this new nation struggles to build its economy, it faces an age-old predicament, how to make the most of its natural assets without destroying them in the process.
[难点] 本题较为简单，主题是讲East Timor(东帝汶)，首次听可能会有一种陌生感和跳跃感，只要克服这种感觉，很容易捕捉到答案。

第3题

b. The recovery efforts are too slow.
c. The tourism will not boost East Timor's economy.

What special tasks were not the first dogs bred for?
a. Hunting and protection.
b. Chasing prey.
c. Herding livestock.
d. Keeping accompany.
【正确答案】：D
【本题分数】：2.0分
【答案解析】
[听力原文]
It's not known exactly bow or why humans domesticated the first dogs. But once tamed, people found them useful and they learned how to selectively breed for certain traits to create animals fit for specific task. Most likely, the first dogs were used for hunting and protection. Some were bred to chase down prey, others to herd livestock. Today's most popular breed, the Labrador, was originally bred by fishermen to haul nets and retrieve fish. But at some point, humans also started to breed dogs for looks and for companionship. Brian has wondered why of all domesticated animals, dogs seem closest to their owners.
Somehow during the long relationship together, dogs learn how to communicate with humans. And they pass the skill down to each succeeding generation. It turns out puppies can understand human gestures even if they've been raised in the wild, while wolves raised in captivity just don't get it. It's a unique skill that perhaps only dogs possess.
[难点] 最初驯养狗的目的那部分内容比较有难度。原文用较快的语速回顾猜测了种种目的。现代人较为熟悉的“keeping company”偏偏没有出现，容易混淆。学生需要很仔细做好细节笔记才能选出正确答案。

Ladies and gentlemen, I am glad that we are together to understand the power of yoga. Nowadays, movie stars do it; sports stars do it; even judges in the highest courts do it: that yoga thing. A path to entertainment that winds back 5,000 years in its native India, yoga has suddenly become so hot, so cool, so very this minute.
In America, people rush from their high pressure jobs and tune in the authoritatively mellow voice of an instructor, gently urging them to solder a union between mind and body. 15 million Americans, include some form of yoga in their fitness regimen, 75% of all US health clubs offer yoga classes.
Yoga relaxes you, and by relaxing, heals. When you do yoga -- the deep breathing, the stretching, the movement that release muscle tension, the relaxed focus on being present in your body -- you initiate a process that turns the fight, or fight system off and relaxation reponse on, that has a dramatic effect on the body.
[难点] 这篇短文词汇简单。内容也是大家熟知的“yoga”，所以这道题目难度相对较小。
第12题

第16题
What is this lecture mainly about?
a. Usual Species of fish.
b. Characteristics of a unique sea animal.
c. The harvest of fish eggs.
d. Unusual species of horses.
【正确答案】：B
【本题分数】：2.0分
【答案解析】
[听力原文]36-40
Today we are going to talk about a species of fish that is rather unique: Today's lecture is about sea horses, if you've seen a sea horse, you may have noted that it has a horse-like head attached to its body. The sea horse has a long snout that is good for sucking. Instead of scales like most fish, sea horses have skin that is stretched over bony plates. The body extends to a prehensile tail, meaning that the tail can be used to grasp. The sea horse may grasp sea grass or coral to keep it stable in a moving current.
The sea horse has fins on its back that it can use to propel it through the water. However, sea horses aren't very good swimmers. They do not move quickly over great distances. The sea horse also has chest fins that it uses for stabilization. The chest fins help the sea horse float in an upright position.
One particularly unique feature of sea horse is that only the male becomes pregnant. The female inserts ripe eggs into the male' pouch, where they are fertilized. The eggs become embedded in the pouch wall.
[难点] 本题考查的是考生是否充分理解了文意。在通观了解全文后，不难选出答案是选项b。
第17题
What is the sea horse's prehensile tail used for?
a. Propelling it through moving currents.
b. Grasping sea grass or coral to stabilize it.
c. Fending off attacks form predators.
d. Moving food to its mouth, like an elephant's trunk.
【正确答案】：B
【本题分数】：2.0分
【答案解析】
[难点] 本题考查的是事实细节。另外对题干出现的关键词“prehensile tail”可能不熟悉。选项a并不符合题意。选项c和d在逻辑上说的过去，若考生没抓住准确细节的话很容易误选。
第18题
What is the purpose of the sea horse's dorsal and pectoral fins?
a. They allow it to maneuver effectively in a small areas.
b. They allow it to swim quickly over long distances.
c. Dorsal and pectoral fins have no function in sea horse.
d. Their multi-colored fins attract shrimp and other food.
【正确答案】：A
【本题分数】：2.0分
【答案解析】
[难点] 该题难度较大。题干关键词“dorsal and pectoral fins”对于考生来说不熟悉，但其实就是文中所提及的“fins on the back”和“chest fins”，需要考生自．己推理。另外正确选项a也并不是从原文可以直接听取的，是需要依靠逻辑推理的。选项b只是涉及了部分内容。
第19题
What is especially unique about sea horse?

b. They can be kept as pets in home aquariums.

【本题分数】：2.0分

【正确答案】：
Franklin D. Roosevelt was elected President in November 1932. When he took the presidential oath, the banking and the credit system of the nation was in a state of paralysis. The new president brought an air of confidence that rallied the people to his banner. Roosevelt's New Deal brought to the individual citizen a sharp revival of interest and brought recovery to business and agriculture and relief to the unemployed. Congress passed an effective Farm-Relief Act, Providing that the government make up money payment to farmers who would devote part of their land to soil conserving crops. Although the New Deal met vehement criticism, he still won decisive victory in presidential election against his opponent for three times. He also directed the organization of national manpower and resources to confront Japan's invasion in 1941. He also had devoted much thought to the planning of a United Nations. He died of a cerebral hemorrhage in 1945.
[听力原文]
Franklin D.Roosevelt was the thirty-second president in America history. Franklin Roosevelt was born in 1882 at Hyde Park, New York. He attended Harvard University and Columbia Law School. In 1905, he married Eleanor Roosevelt. Franklin Roosevelt entered public service through politics, but as a democrat. He won election to the New York Senate in 1910. President Wilsoll appointed him assistant secretary of the navy, and he was the Democratic nominee for Vice President in 1920.
In the summer of 1921, when he was 39, he was stricken with poliomyelitis. Demonstrating indomitable courage, he fought to regain the use of his legs, particularly through swimming.
Roosevelt was elected president in November 1932. When he took the presidential oath, the banking and credit system of the nation was in a state of paralysis. By March there were 13,000,000 unemployed, and almost every bank was closed. At the depth of the Great Depression, the new President brought an air of cheerful confidence that quickly rallied the people to his banner. Be- fore long, the complex of reforms known as the New Deal was well on its way. He brought hope as he promised prompt, vigorous action, and asserted in his Inaugural Address, "the only thing we have to fear is fear itself."
During the entire New Deal period, despite its speed in decision and execution, public criticism was never interrupted or suspended; in fact, the New Deal brought to the individual citizen a sharp revival of interest in government and brought recovery to business and agriculture and relief to the unemployed. With astonishing rapidity the banks were reopened, and a policy of moderate currency inflation was adopted in order to start an upward movement in commodity prices and to afford some relief to debtors. New governmental agencies brought generous credit facilities to industry and agriculture. Savings bank deposits up to $5,000 were insured, and severe regulations were imposed upon the sale of securities and the stock exchanges. In agriculture, far-reaching reforms were instituted. Congress passed a more effective Farm-Relief Act, providing that the government makes money payment to farmers who would devote part of their land to soil-con- serving crops or otherwise cooperate in long-range agricultural goals. By 1940, nearly six million farmers were receiving federal subsidies under this program.
New Deal efforts were carried on, generally, against vehement criticism, not only from the Republican Party but often from within the Democratic Party itself. Nevertheless, in the 1936 election, Roosevelt won all even more decisive victory over his republican opponent -- governor Alfred E. Landon of Kansas than in 1932. The 1940 Presidential election yield another majority for Roosevelt. For the first time in American history, a President was elected to a third term.
When the Japanese attached Pearl Harbor in December 1941, Roosevelt directed organization of the Nation's manpower and resources for global war.
Feeling that the future peace of the world would depend upon relations between the United States and Russia, he devoted much thought to the planning of a United Nations, in which, he hoped, international difficulties could be settled.
As the war drew to a close, Roosevelt's health deteriorated. And on April 12, 1945, while at warm Springs, Georgia, he died of a cerebral hemorrhage.

1．这是一篇关于美国总统罗斯福的介绍。单词量并不大，但要求考生对涉及的人物及历史有一定的背景知识，否则中间一大段关于罗斯福总统在经济萧条时采取的措施及其取得的效果这部分听起来将会非常困难。
2．文章涉及较多细节，但是需要考生在写summary时在抓取基本信息的同时进行归纳。
3．在介绍罗斯福新经济政策时，采用的句型比较复杂，信息量比较大，陌生的背景知识也容易造成听力理解困难。这需要考生抓住关键信息并进行归纳。
4．虽然整篇细节较多，但不必要全部记取并写进summary，但要求考生对罗斯福一生的各个阶段的主要内容都能记取，主体框架不能缺漏。

【正确答案】：C
【本题分数】：2.0分
【答案解析】
[听力原文]
The reality is that the level of distress here definitely knocked down a couple of notches today. Stocks ended slightly higher, investors paid little attention to a worse-thah-expected inflation report, and comments from former Fed Chairman Alan Greenspan, who said problems in the sub prime mortgage market could spread to other sectors of the economy. So details now, the Dow Industrials as you can see at the Big Board adding 26 points and firmly back above that 12,000 level, the NASDAQ composite are up more than a quarter of a percent, the S&P 500 adding more than a third of a percent.
[难点] 这篇文章是经济方面的，里面有专业术语，可能会影响理解，而且其中有数字的混淆，考生可能会将注意力放在数字上，但题目出在了一个很细微的地方，如果考生不知道“sub prime mortgage”的含义，这个题目将会较难。

[听力原文]
The spread of malaria is like a two-way street. The disease is spread to humans through the bite of mosquitoes infected with malaria parasites, the most dangerous of these being plasmodium falciparum. Uninfected mosquitoes become infected with the parasite by biting infected animals. In sub-Saharan Africa and parts of Asia an estimated 300 million people are infected every year, more than one million of them are children, many of whom die. Years of attempting to cure the disease with antibiotics and quinine drugs have caused the parasite to become resistant to treatment. Scientists are trying to come up with novel strategies for conquering malaria. One idea that has been around for a number of years is the creation of genetically altered mosquitoes that could be released into the environment.
[难点] 这篇文章属于医疗卫生方面的，是谈对于疟疾的抗生素治疗，虽然有“quinine”这个生词，但整篇文章不是很难，题目比较细微，答案的选项中混淆性比较大，因为其 他几个选项也在文中提到了。

d. It would take possibly several decades for China to make its own aircraft that make dent in the market.
【正确答案】：D
【本题分数】：2.0分
【答案解析】
[听力原文]
China has never hidden its desire to become a major force in the aviation in airspace industries. And Sunday's announcement that plans to challenge Airbus and Boeing's current duopoly by building big passenger jets isn't it exactly a shock.
I don't think there is any surprise that the Chinese are saying that they are good to build their own aircraft in due course. But I think it would at least a couple of decades before they have an aircraft that makes any meaningful dent in the market: and quite possibly several decades.
[难点] 文章信息量较大，而且是涉及中国的航空事业，可能对于一部分考生来说很陌生，问题的设置也属于归纳全篇中心的类型，这就要求译员对全文都要有一个全部的理解和把握。

【正确答案】：A
【本题分数】：2.0分
【答案解析】
[听力原文]
The trouble with Sony. It's not a Hitchcock film, but the last few months have been a thriller for the world's No. 2 consumer electronics firm, with battery recalls, product delays, and analyst and market disappointment. The creator of the Walkman hopes to rebound under foreign CEO Howard Stringer, but brand analyst Martin Roll says Sony has lost its way. "Sony definitely has a myth, but of late, the last couple of years they have been overrun by realign the iPods, the Samsungs, a lot of different competitors in different industries. And it seems like they have lost the touch in terms of design and innovation. They used to be a trendsetter, and now they have become a trend follower."
[难点] 文章出现了一些技术性词语，主要是讲索尼在技术开发时所遇到的困难，题目的设置其实也就是全文的中心，所以要抓住中心思想。答案中的混淆系数相对较小，因为除了第一个选项外，其余几个只是文章的细枝末节。

【本题分数】：2.0分
【答案解析】
[听力原文]
Stronger typhoons, more flooding in low lying regions, deepening drought -- all possible, if not likely, according to a report from British climatologists. They say 2007 has a 60 percent probability of being the hottest year on record, citing high levels of greenhouse gasses in the atmosphere, and El Nino, now underway in the Pacific and expected to last until May.

[听力原文]
China's car boom is presenting the country of 1.3 billion with a dilemma. The Beijing Organizing Committee for the Olympic Games, for instance, is experimenting with a plan to limit the number of vehicles entering the city during the two-week sports extravaganza next summer by using odd-and even-numbered license plates. Traffic gridlock and air pollution have been haunting organizers. International Olympic Committee President Jacques Rogge even hinted at the possibility of rescheduling some endurance events if air quality doesn't improve. The country's car population has been growing due to an emerging middle class that desires personal mobility. Already, China has become the world's second largest consumer of auto- mobiles and the third biggest maker of automobiles.

[听力原文]
We've been living through times of plenty in recent decades, but no more. World grain sup- plies are low, there's just forty days' worth in stock and the long-term future looks bleak. Our demand for foods predicted to rise 50% by 2030. The statistics are startling. The world's population is set to explode from over 6 billion now to 9 billion by 2050. The increase is mainly in the developing world. In countries like China and India, an economic boom is increasing their wealth and dramatically altering the traditional diet. New western habits are taking hold, the McDonald's wave becoming a familiar sight in unexpected places. More meat and dairy products require more land and water. All the ingredients are there for a future food crisis. And it's the first priority of the UK's new chief science adviser.

【答案解析】
[听力原文]
The Catholic church is worried that people aren't taking sins seriously enough. So the Vatican has decided to update its list of the seven deadly sins. But whereas the focus of traditional sins--LUST, GREED, SLOTH, WROTH, ENVY, PRIDE, and GLUTTONY is individual, those which we will consign today is seen as the hellfire and more social than nature. In the days when the artist Hieronymus Bosch gave us his view of the sins they said the earth was flat. Now the Vatican says its new sins will take into account the after effects of globalization. New sins on the block could be Abusing drags or selling them to others, Genetic manipulation such as embryo research which the Vatican opposes, Morally dubious experiments think Dolly the sheep, Polluting the environment, Creating social inequalities and social injustice, Causing poverty and which some would say goes with it, Accumulating excessive wealth￡┐wealth, something the church itself has been known to do.
