2008年12月大学英语四级考试全真模拟试题答案

　　Part III Listening Comprehension

    11.M： I think the reason Mary didn‘t apply was she was afraid of being rejected.

    W： I think you‘ve hit the nail on the head.

　　Q: What does the woman mean?

    答案： C

    解析：短语题。“hit the nail on the head”是“猜中”的意思，所以选项中的hit， nail， head都是干扰项。选项D里有我们听到的rejected， 但正确的选项中往往不会出现我们听到的词。

　　12. W: Dear, I feel hungry now. How about you?
　　M: So do I. Let me call room service. Hello, room service. Please send a menu to 518 at once.
　　Q: Where does the conversation probably take place?

    答案：D

    解析：hungry 和 menu 很容易诱使考生错选 “在餐厅”和“在餐桌”；而这个对话中room service （在客房部）暗示说话人在hotel里。

    13. M： Don‘t you think this candle light dinner is very romantic？

    W： Sure， at least I don‘t have to look at the food.

　　Q: What does the woman think of the food?

    答案：B

    解析：在女士的答语中，从sure可以看出她十分肯定这次烛光宴的浪漫气氛，但at least I don‘t have to look at the food说明语气发生转折，她不喜欢宴席上的食物。

　　14. M: What are your comments on these plays put on by the freshmen, Mrs. Smith?
　　W: They certainly have made a great deal of efforts. But to be frank with you, both are not very successful.
　　Q: How does the woman think about the plays?

    答案：A

    解析：对话中词组both are not 是部分否定的形式，意思是“不是两个都…”。中国学生容易将其误解为“两个都不”。

    15. W： I can‘t wait to see the look on Steven’s face when he looks at his grade.

　　M: Neither can I.
　　Q: What do we learn from the conversation?

    答案：A

    解析：关键是要理解can‘t wait to see 和 Neither can I，不是否定，而是“急于要看”的意思。

    16. W： I think it‘s high time we turned our attention to the danger of drunk driving now.

    M： I can‘t agree with you more. You see， countless innocent people are killed by drunk drivers each year.

　　Q: What does the man mean?

    答案：C

    解析：对话中男士在陈述观点时，用的是看上去像否定，但实际是非常肯定的赞同表达方式：I can‘t agree with you more. 意为：I completely agree with you.

　　17. W: Do you mind my turning off the television?

    M： I‘m in the middle of watching an interesting program.

    Q： What can be inferred from the man‘s response？

    答案：C

    解析：对话中男士所讲in the middle of watching an interesting program， 意思是he is very interested in the ongoing program and wants to continue， 所以可以推断出希望女士不要关掉电视。

    18. W： It‘s bright and cool today， why not go outside and have a barbecue？

    M： I‘d love to， but my doctor suggested I eat more vegetables to lose weight.

　　Q: What should the man do to lose weight?

    答案：A

    解析：本题需要简单推理。对话中的eat more vegetables to lose weight说的是多吃蔬菜才能减肥，答案中虽然没有直接的对应信息，但根据常识就可做出要减肥需要少吃肉的判断。
