专业英语四级（听力）模拟试卷356 (题后含答案及解析)

题型有：1. What is the woman going to talk about?2. What can we learn from the conversation about the drawings?3. What might be seen as less important according to the woman?4. What can we learn from the conversation about the chambers in the cave?5. When was the cave open to the public?

1．

A．The history of European art. B．The European rock and roll. C．The rock drawings in Lascaux. D．The wild animals in Lascaux.

正确答案：C 解析：题目问女士打算讲什么。会话中，男士问女士是不是打算讲欧洲岩画，女士给出肯定回答，并补充说是法国西部拉斯科洞穴的岩画，C项与录音相符，故为答案。

2．

A．The drawings in the cave are about 600 years old. B．The drawings depicted both animals and humans. C．The most depicted animal was the prehistoric bulls. D．No more than 3 kinds of animals were depicted.

正确答案：B

解析：题目问我们可以从会话中得知岩画的什么信息。录音提到，那里的岩画有动物群，但是你也能找到人物肖像，B项与录音相符，故为答案。A项是利用数字600作干扰，但录音说的是拉斯科洞穴大约有600幅画。排除A。C项错在the prehistoric bulls，录音提到，画得最多的动物是马。录音中具体提到的岩画中的动物就有马、牛、牡鹿和鱼，因此D项错误。

3．

A．Bulls. B．Fish. C．Horses. D．Humans.

正确答案：D

解析：题目问在女士看来，或许什么不是那么重要。录音中，女士提到人类的画像只是用简单的线条，由此女士得出结论，或许人类被视为不那么重要，故选D。

4．

A．The Great Hall of the Bulls is 30 metres inside the cave.

B．The Painted Gallery is 20 metres long.

C．The Lateral Passage is to the left of the Great Hall of the Bulls. D．The cave consists of some inter-linking chambers.

正确答案：D

解析：本题问拉斯科洞穴内画室的相关信息。录音中，女士提到洞穴是由许多相连通的“室”构成的。D项与女士的话一致，故为答案。A项错在30，应为20；B项错在20，录音说The Painted Gallery的长度是30米，故也排除；C项错在left，应为fight，故也排除。

5．

A．1690-1943. B．1943-1960. C．1940-1963. D．1963-present.

正确答案：C

解析：选项均为时间，应留意相关信息。题目问拉斯科洞穴何时向大众开放过。录音中，女士提到，在1940年初次发现的时候，就已经开放。录音结尾部分，女士提到，拉斯科洞穴于1963年关闭，结合这两处，可知答案为C。

听力原文：M: Excuse me madam.W: Yes?M: I wonder whether you’d help us. We’re doing a survey on smokers’ habits.W: Well... I’m in a bit of a hurry actually.M: It’ll only take a few minutes. We’d very much appreciate your help.W: Well, all right. I can spare that, I suppose.M: Thank you. Are you a smoker?W: Yes, I’m afraid I am. My husband is, too. As you can see... I’ve just bought this week’s ration.M: Would you describe yourself as being a heavy smoker?W: Heavy... no. [6] I wouldn’t call three packets of twenty a week heavy smoking. No... a light smoker. My husband... he’s different...M: Yes?W: I get in twice as many a week for him.M: You wouldn’t describe him as a chain-smoker...?W: No... he’s not as bad as that.M: Right... Thank you, Mrs....?W: Bradley. Doris Bradley.M: ... Mrs. Bradley. You and your husband smoke cigarettes I see. What about cigars... a pipe... Does your husband...?W: Oh he’s never smoked a pipe. He’s the restless, nervy type. [7] I always associate pipe-smoking with people of another kind... the calm contented type...M: Right. Now let’s keep to you, Mrs. Bradley. When did you begin to smoke?W: I’m thirty-two now... so I must have been seventeen when I had my first cigarette.M: I see. Now... Might I ask if you have ever tried to give up smoking?W: Yes, twice. [8] The first time about six months before getting married. Oh that was because I was saving up and... yes... I used to smoke more in those days. Sometimes thirty a day. So I decided to give it up—but only succeeded I’m afraid in cutting it down.M: And the second time?W: Oh the second time I did manage to give up completely for a while. The doctor advised me not to smoke at all. I went for about seven or eight months without a single cigarette.M: Then you took it up again.W: [9] Yes... a couple of weeks after the baby was born. It was all right then because the baby was being bottle-fed

anyway.M: Now, Mrs. Bradley. When do you smoke most?W: Erm, when I’m sitting watching TV or reading a book, but especially when I’m in company. I never smoke when I’m doing the housework.M: Do you ever smoke at meal times?W: I always have one cigarette after a meal. [10] Never on an empty stomach. Which reminds me—I must be going. My husband will be waiting for his lunch. And Keith... he’s my son.M: OK, thank you, Mrs. Bradley.W: You are welcome.6. H0ow many cigarettes does the woman smoke every week?7. What kind of people does the woman think might smoke pipes?8. When did the woman try to give up smoking for the first time?9. Why did the woman try to give up smoking for the second time?10. What can we learn from the conversation about the woman?

6． A．30 B．20 C．60 D．0

正确答案：C

解析：选项均为数字，因此听音时应关注与数字相关的信息。题目问女士每周抽多少根烟。会话中，男士问女士是否把自己描述为重度吸烟者。女士回答说，她不会把每周抽3包20支装的烟称之为重度抽烟。由此可见，女士每周抽20x3=60根，故答案为C。B项为每包烟里香烟的数量。

7．

A．The irritable people.

B．The calm contented people. C．The restless, nervy people. D．The emotional people.

正确答案：B

解析：题目问女士认为哪类人可能会用烟管抽烟。会话中女士提到，她通常会把冷静知足的人与用烟管抽烟的人联系在一起，意即，她认为冷静知足的人会用烟管抽烟，B与录音的意思相符，故为答案。

8．

A．When she was 32. B．When she was 17.

C．A few weeks after her son was born. D．6 months before she got married.

正确答案：D

解析：选项都为时间，且均含有she，故可推测本题问女士做某事的时间。会话中，女士提到，她首次尝试戒烟的时间是在结婚前的6个月，故D为答案。32岁是女士现在的年纪，可排除A；17岁是女士第一次抽烟的年龄，故B也可排除；生完小孩后数周是女士第二次重新开始吸烟的时间。故排除C。

9．

A．Because she was trying to save money. B．Because she was going to get married. C．Because she was expecting a baby.

D．Because she was breast-feeding the baby.

正确答案：C

解析：题目问女士第二次戒烟的原因。录音中女士提到，她成功完全戒烟一段时间，医生建议她一点烟也不要抽，但女士后面说到在孩子出生几周后就她又再次抽上了，可见女士第二次戒烟的原因是她怀孕了，答案为C。A项是第一次戒烟的原因，故排除；女士只是提到第一次戒烟是在结婚前的六个月，并未提及戒烟的原因是要结婚，故排除B；录音中女士提到，她的小孩用奶粉喂养(bottle-fed)，可见D项的breast-feeding不正确。

10．

A．She described her husband as a chain smoker.

B．Her husband smokes a pipe before Christmas dinner. C．She had her first cigarette with her husband at a party. D．She never has cigarettes with an empty stomach.

正确答案：D

解析：选项出现多个She和her，可见本题是问女士的相关情况。录音结尾部分，女士提到她饭后会抽一根烟，但从不空腹抽烟，可见D与会话相符。录音中，女士说丈夫还没有到chain smoker那么严重，故A不正确；录音中，女士提及丈夫从不用烟管抽烟，故B也错误；录音并未提到女士第一次抽烟是与丈夫一起抽。故C也不正确。

听力原文：M: Good morning, Dr Healy. Welcome to “The years to Come”.W: Thank you.M: Well, what are your predictions about the world? What is it going to be like in the year 2020?W: Hum, if present trends continue, I’m afraid the world in 2020 will be more crowded [1] and more polluted than the world we live in now. M: Yes, however, food production is constantly increasing. Don’t you think we will be able to cope with the increase in world population?W: I don’t think so. Even though production is constantly increasing, the people of the world will be poorer than they are today. For hundreds of millions of the desperately poor, the supply of food and other necessities of life will not be any better. And for many they will be worse, unless the nations of the world do something to change the current trends.M: What is your estimate of world population in the year 2020?W: Well, already, [2] world population is about 6,500 million. If present trends continue, that is with the number of births by far exceeding the number of deaths, [2] the world population could approach 7,500 million in 2020. M: That’s worrying! And what about water?W: Water is becoming a problem too. Water shortage will become more severe in the future, and due to the increase of births there will be enough water only for half of the population.M: Which

of the present trends do you think will continue over the next decade?W: Well, significant loss of the world’s forests will continue over the next ten years as the demand for wood for fuel and manufacturers increases. Also atmospheric-concentration of carbon dioxide and other chemicals is expected to increase at rates that could alter the world’s climate due to the “greenhouse effect”.M: The “greenhouse effect”? Could you explain what the “greenhouse effect” is?W: Sure. Well, [3] the amount of carbon dioxide in the air is progressively increasing and it traps more of the heat of the sun in the atmosphere. This has a warming effect which could change the climate.M: I see. Is this the only effect of carbon dioxide?W: No, it isn’t. [4] Carbon dioxide and other chemicals which derive from the use of fossil fuels will also increase the quantity of acid rain which is already damaging or even destroying plants, trees and other parts of our environment. Also, [4] there will be a dramatic increase in the number of species becoming extinct. [5] Hundreds of thousands of species will be lost because of the loss of their habitat. M: That’s appalling! Doctor, thanks for giving us the information.1. Which of the following is one of Dr. Healy’s predictions?2．According to Dr．Healy，how many people will be increased by the year 2020?3．What is the“greenhouse effect”?4．Besides the“greenhouse effect”, what else will carbon dioxide bring about?5．What is the direct cause of lots of species’ extinction?

11．

A．Food supply will remain the same. B．People will be richer. C．There will be less people. D．Pollution will be more severe.

正确答案：D

解析：题目问哪项是Healy博士的预测。录音开头，女士(Dr. Healy)提到，如果目前趋势继续的话，世界在2020年会变得更拥挤，污染更加严重，D项“污染更严重”与会话相符，故为答案。女士提到，对上百万极其贫穷的人来说，食物和其他必需品的供给不会变得更好，对许多人来说，会变得更糟糕，A项will remain the same与录音矛盾，故排除；B项与Dr．Healy预测的“人们会变得更贫穷(the people of the world will be poorer)”相悖，也排除；D项与Dr．Healy预测的“世界会变得更拥挤”相反，故也排除。

12．

A．6,500 million. B．1,000 million. C．7,500 million. D．14,000 million.

正确答案：B

解析：选项都为数字，故本题需要留意数字相关的地方。会话中，男士让Dr．Healy预计2020年的人口数量，Dr．Healy说现在人口为6,500 million，到2020年，人口数将达到7,500 million，由此可见，从现在到2020年新增的人口

数为1,000 million，故B正确。

13．

A．The increase of atmospheric concentration of CO2. B．The increase in the quantity of acid rain in future. C．A warming effect caused by the increase of CO2. D．The continuing loss of the world’s forests in future.

正确答案：C

解析：题目问什么是温室效应。录音中，女士提到，空气中的二氧化碳含量逐渐增加，大气中的二氧化碳使太阳的热量“留”在大气层中无法散发出去，从而产生一种变暖的效应，就叫温室效应，C项是对此处会话的概括，故为答案。

14．

A．Increasing of food production. B．Crowdedness and water shortage. C．Greater death rate and oil shortage. D．More acid rain and species extinction.

正确答案：D

解析：题目问除了温室效应，二氧化碳还带来了什么。会话中，女士提到由于燃用矿物燃料所产生的二氧化碳和其他化学物质会增加酸雨的降雨量，接着用Also引出另一个后果：会造成更多动物灭绝，D项综合了这两处的意思。故为答案。

15．

A．Loss of food. B．Heavy pollution. C．Loss of habitat.

D．A terrible earthquake.

正确答案：C 解析：题目问导致大量动物会灭绝的直接原因，录音中女士提到成百上千的动物会因为失去栖息地而消失，故C为答案。A“失去食物”和B“重度污染”均不是动物灭绝的直接原因；会话中并未提及“地震”，故排除D。

听力原文：W: Good morning Graham and welcome to the show.M: Good morning, Carol.W: Now, Graham, I understand that there has been a lot of community consultation for the new plan.M: Yes, we’ve tried to address some of the concerns that local groups told us about. [6] People we’ve heard from are mainly worried about traffic in the area, and in particular, the increasing speed of cars near schools. They feel that it is only a matter of time before there is an accident as a lot of the children walk to the school. So we’re trying to do something about that. Another area of concern is the overhead power lines. These are very old and a lot of people we spoke

to asked if something could be done about them. Well, I’m happy to report that the power company has agreed to move the power line underground at a cost of $800,000. I think that will really improve the look of the area, as well as being safer.W: That’s good to know, but will that mean an increase in rates for the local businesses in that area?M: Well, [7] the power company has agreed to bear the cost of this themselves after a lot of discussion with the council. This is wonderful news as the council now has some extra funds for us to put into other things like tree planting and art work.W: That’s good news.M: Now, we’ve also put together a map which we’ve sent out to all the residents in the area. And on the map we’ve marked the proposed changes. Firstly, [8] we’ll plant mature pine trees to provide shelter and shade. In order to address the traffic problems, the pavements on the corner of Carberry and Thomas Street will be widened. This will help to reduce the speed of vehicles entering Thomas Street. We think it’s very important to separate the local residential streets from the main road. So the roadway at the entry to Thomas Street from Carberry will be painted red. This should mark it more clearly and act as a signal for traffic to slow down.W: What do you do to make sure that pedestrians are safe?M: [9] One way of making sure that the pedestrians are safe is to increase signage at the intersections. A “keep clear” sign will be erected at all the junctions, to enable traffic to exit at all times.W: I heard that there is something for children too, isn’t there?M: Yes, we’re going to get school children in the area to research a local story, the life of a local sports hero perhaps, and an artist will incorporate that story into paintings on the wall of buildings. [10] And finally, we’ve agreed to build a new children’s playground. 6. What are the community groups mainly concerned about?7. Who will pay for the expenses related to the power lines?8. For what purpose will mature pine trees be planted?9. What measure will be taken to ensure pedestrians’ safety?10. What is the thing for children?

16．

A．Traffic in the area, B．Overhead power lines.

C．Increased rates for local businesses. D．Tree planting and art work.

正确答案：A

解析：题目问当地社区群体主要关注什么问题。会话开头部分，男士提到，他们在努力解决当地群体告知他们的一些关注问题，接着提到当地群体主要关注的问题是当地的交通(traffic in the area)，A项为该处录音原词，故为答案。“高架电线”也是关注的问题，但不是主要关注的问题，故排除B；当地企业税率的增加是女士关注的问题，并非当地社区群体主要关注的，故排除C；“植树”和“艺术品”是男士认为地方议会可把剩余资金投往的方向，也非地社区群体关注的问题，故排除D。

17．

A．The council. B．Local businesses. C．The power company.

D．Local residents.

正确答案：C

解析：题目问谁来付高架电线改造的相关费用。录音中提到，电力公司在跟地方议会多次商讨之后，同意承担高架电线改造的费用，故选C。

18．

A．To address the traffic problems.

B．To separate the local residential streets. C．To reduce the speed of vehicles. D．To provide shelter and shade.

正确答案：D

解析：选项都为不定式短语，故可推断本题与目的或计划安排有关。题目问种植成年松树的目的。录音中，男士提到种植成年松树是为了提供遮蔽荫凉处(provide shelter and shade)，D项与录音相符，故为答案。

19．

A．Increasing signage at the intersections. B．Bearing the power lines underground. C．Keeping cars away from the area

D．Erecting road fences along pavements.

正确答案：A

解析：题目问会采取何种措施去确保行人安全。录音中男士提到，为了确保行人安全采取的一个措施是增加交叉路口的交通信号标志(to increase signage at the intersections)，A项与录音相符，故为答案。B项是解决高架电线问题的措施，可排除：C项“让汽车远离这片区域”和D项“沿着人行道建围栏”在录音中并未提到，也排除。

20．

A．Getting children to paint on the wall of buildings. B．Getting school children in the area to write a story. C．Getting an artist to tell a story about a sports hero. D．Building a new playground for children there.

正确答案：D

解析：题目问为小孩子做的事情。录音结尾部分，男士提到，最终他们已经同意为孩子们建一个新的操场，D项与录音相符，故为答案。会话中男士说的是会让艺术家把故事画到建筑物的墙上，而不是让孩子们画，故排除A。B项的write a story在录音中并未提到，也可排除。录音提到，艺术家是将故事画到建筑物的墙上，而不是让艺术家讲故事。故C项也可排除。
