2010年9月中口听力SD & Statements原文
Now the location of your college. Some colleges are in the centre of huge cities, some in the suburb. And some are surrounded by fields and woods. Where your college is located will be important to your extra-curricular life. The advantage of an urban college is that there are many exciting things to do off campus. Compared to a rural campus, there are more movies, plays, churches, restaurants, discos, museums and music. There is probably good public transportation. You are near airports, trains and several highways, making weekend or vacation trips to other places much easier. All of these mean that off campus excitement is easy to reach and doesn't require a lot of planning. This can be an important part of a college education and of your growth. But this easily available entertainment can also tempt you away from your books. The disadvantages of an urban college can be expense and a lack of peace and quiet. Off campus living in the city is almost always more expensive. Even if you live at school, you will still eat and shop off campus often, probably, more than you would at a rural campus. Many of those wonderful, cultural events cost money and are hard to pass up. If you are moving to the city from the country, be prepared for unexpected expenses. and advantage of a rural college is the relax and often beautiful setting. Rural colleges may have much more peaceful and cleaner air. And campus activities will probably be more important in your extra-curricular life. This doesn’t mean that nothing happens on campus in small towns. Things do. But they are more likely to be connected with school. Rural colleges are often near good spots for outdoor activities, mountains, lakes and beaches. If you have any interest in outdoor activities, this is a good place to learn more. The disadvantages of the rural college can be isolation, boredom and the difficulty of adjusting to a more relaxed life if you come from a big city, life at a small rural college can become very in groan.

中口statements的解析
本次的10个statements, 发音有点模糊,有些词和词组听不清或者听不出来是很正常的事情,我们应该把注意力放在意群上而不是具体的单词或者短语,遇到听不懂的,注意听下文,一般能听到解释或者根据上下文推理出来,像from champs to chumps, 从后文的意思就能够推断出来。
另外对数字的考察依然是本次考试的重点对象,考生应该在平时多练,加强对数字的敏感性。第三题中,一句说的是根据实际情况预测的期限,另外一个是保质期,要注意数字对应的信息。
此外,要注意判断哪些句子是信息的重点所在,以及句子的内在含义,如第一题中,我们可以判断出说话人建议听话人在午餐见到Jack时再告诉他相关的计划。对于使用虚拟语气的句子,更要特别留意,如第2题,“you ought to have stood up for him in the argument at the meeting yesterday afternoon”,由此判断,听话人在会议上并未站出来支持对话中谈到的人。
