  Part 1 Listening Comprehension
  l 听力分析:此次听力题目中,生词不多,主要侧重于习惯用语、动词短语的考核。
  例如:
  1 1 What are the speakers talking about ?
  A movie
  B review
  C Tv program
  D football game
  原文:
  What do you think of the movie? It’s disappointing. We should have watched the football game。( 考点:should have +P.P)
  ●此外,日常生活场景,如机场,酒店,购物等特定用语,也是考生要密切注意的。
  3 Why does the man choose to go by air?
  A trains are too full
  B Buses take a long time
  C It costs less
  D It fits the schedule
  原文:
  …… Go to the summer camp; why do you fly? Buses and trains don’t run. My schedule is full。
  ●4篇短文理解中,第一篇谈及Black food is new in America. .In Asia, It has been popular…
  people believe it’s healthy…。第二篇是作者生活背景的介绍,I didn’t remember clearly where I was born, because my family moved a lot to look for work…. Possibly , I was born in Queensland…第三篇的话题,相信很多考生并不陌生,谈到的是求职问题I can’t seem to find a job. I have handed my resumes to 20companies and got only 2 interviews…同样的,第四篇的主题也是比较熟悉的内容—旅游,不过这篇文章主要是设计旅游中的支付问题It’s a good idea to have some travel money, such as credit card and travellers’ checks, Most cards can be drawn at ATMS。。

  (预测); assuming(假设);overestimates (过高估计);contrary to(于。。相反);accomplish(完成)
