大学英语四级考试710分全攻略答案及解析
第一部分 听力部分 第一章 短对话
第三节 专项训练
1【预测】―介词+地点名词‖选项表明，本题是问―对话发生在何处‖的场景题。
【原文】W: Wow, I do like this campus. All the big trees, the green lawns, and the old buildings
with tall columns, it‘s really beautiful.
M: It sure is. The architecture of these buildings is in the Greek style. It was popular in the 18th century here.
Q: What are the speakers talking about? [2005.6/T9]
【解析】选C。本题如果听到了开头部分的关键词―campus‖，简直是易如反掌。 2【原文】M: I‘d like to buy a copy of Professor Franklin‘s book on the American culture.
W: I‘m sorry. The book has been out of print for some time.
Q: Where does the conversation most probably take place? [2003.9/T3]
【解析】选C。录音原文中的动词buy a copy是解题的关键。
3【预测】选项中出现了定冠词―the‖和代词―his‖，都表示特指，因此本题不会是问对话发生
的地点。要注意听细节和问题。
【原文】M: Hello, this is John Hopkins at Riversides. I‘d like to speak to Mr. Jones.
W: I‘m sorry, Mr. Hopkins. My husband isn‘t at home. But I can give you his office phone number. He won‘t be back until 6 o‘clock.
Q: Where does Mrs. Jones think her husband is now? [1996.1/T1]
【解析】选D。女士说要把丈夫办公室的电话号码告诉V1，显然她认为丈夫现在在办公室。 4【预测】多数选项用了―To+地点‖，问的一定是动态性的方位问题―去哪里‖。 【原文】M: Can you stay for dinner?
W: I‘d love to. But I have to go and send some registered mail before picking up the children from school.
Q: Where will the woman go first? [1997.1/T8] 【解析】选C。女士回答时用到了―but‖表转折语气，她说自己现在要先去寄信然后去接
孩子放学。―but‖是一个信息指示词，后面的内容要着重听。―before‖在听力中表时间的先后时，可以直接翻译成―然后‖，这样就不用颠来倒去的套中文，省事儿多了。
5【原文】W: Look at that big field of cotton. And there‘s a farm with some beautiful houses.
M: You really get to know the country when you go by train, don‘t you?
Q: Where did the conversation most probably take place? [1998.6/T10]
【解析】选D。本题如果听到了关键词―go by train‖，选出正确答案不费吹灰之力。 6【原文】W: Where did you say you found this bag?
M: It was lying under a big tree between the park and the apartment building. Q: Where did the man find the bag? [2000.6/T6]
【解析】选D。本题关键词为―between … and …‖。 7【原文】M: Can you tell me the title of this oil painting?
W: Sorry, I don‘t know for sure. But I guess it‘s an early 18th century work. Let me look it up in the catalog.

Q: Where does this conversation most probably take place? [2001.1/T2]
【解析】选A。本题关键词为―oil painting‖。 8【原文】W: Oh, dear! I‘m starving, I can‘t walk any farther.
M: Let‘s go to the restaurant across the street and get something to eat.
Q: Where are the two people? [2001.6/T5]
【解析】选D。本题关键词为―across the street‖。
9【原文】W: You seem very confident about the job interview, don‘t you?
M: Yes, I feel ready for it. I bought a good suit at a clothing store and I had my hair cut. I had studied almost everything about finance and economics.
Q: Where is the man probably going to work? [2002.1/T10]
【解析】选A。从―finance and economics‖来看，说话者是想在银行工作。 10【原文】M: Excuse me, I‘d like to place an advertisement for a used car in this Sunday edition of
your paper.
W: Ok, but you have to run your advertisement all week. We can‘t quote rates for just Sunday.
Q: Where is the conversation most probably taking place﹖ [2002.6/T9]
【解析】选D。本题的关键词是―place an advertisement, Sunday edition 及your paper‖。 11【原文】W: Mr. Watson, I wonder whether it‘s possible for me to take a vacation early next
month?
M: Did you fill out a request form?
Q: What is the probable relationship between the two speakers? [2005.6/T7]
【解析】选C。本题属于推理身份关系题。女士说：―华生先生，我想知道我是否可以在
下月初休假。‖男士说：―你填了申请表了吗?‖根据对话中的请求休假与填申请表，可以推断说话人之间的关系是―经理与员工‖。
12【原文】W: John, what are you doing on your computer? Don‘t you remember your promise?
M: This is not a game. It‘s only a crossword puzzle that helps increase my vocabulary. Q: What is the probable relationship between the speakers? [2003.1/T3]
【解析】选D。本题的关键就在于要听到―your promise‖和―increase my vocabulary‖，女士
严厉的语气也很重要。
13【原文】W: I heard you got a full mark in maths exams. Congratulations!
M: Thanks! I‘m sure you also did a good job.
Q: What‘s the probable relationship between the two speakers? [2001.6/T1]
【解析】选C。本题的关键词是―mark，exams‖。听到这两个词，马上就知道对话应该与
学生有关。再听到V2中的―also did a good job‖，立刻就能做出判断这是同学之间的对话。
14【原文】W: I often mistake Jim for Bob. Can you tell them apart?
M: No, they look so much alike that they even confused their mother sometimes when they were young.
Q: What is the most probable relationship between Jim and Bob? [1998.6/T1]
【解析】选A。本题只要听到―their mother‖，选出正确答案简直易如反掌。 15【原文】M: So, when are the other guys going to get here? The train is leaving in ten
minutes .We can‘t wait here forever.
W: It‘s 10:30 already. They are supposed to be here by now. I told everybody to meet here by 10:15. [2004.6/T3]
2
Q: When does the train leave?
【解析】选D。本题是计算题。男士问：―那么，其他人什么时候到啊？还有十分钟火车
就开了。我们不能就这样一直等下去吧。‖女士说：―已经十点半了吗？他们这个时候应该在这儿呀。告诉大家十点十五分在这儿见面的。‖ 十点半加十分钟，火车当然是是10：40开。因此答案选D。
16【原文】M: I wonder if Suzy will be here by 5 o‘clock.
W: Her husband said she left home at 4:30.she should be here at 5:10, and 5:15 at the latest.
Q: What time did Suzy leave home? [2001.6/T7]
【解析】选C。本题是计算题。V2说―她丈夫说她四点半离开家的‖，直接就出现了正确答
案。这种几个数字在对话中都出现的题目，听的时候应该在选项旁作笔记。例如本题可以做出下面的笔记：
[A] 5:15. latest [B] 5:10. should be here
[C] 4:30. left home [D] 5:00. wonder if 当然实际考试的时候，可能没有足够的时间写下这么多。那么完全可以用符号代替，只要自己能明白就可以了。
17【原文】M: What do you think of the prospects for on-line education? Is it going to replace the
traditional school?
W: I doubt it. Schools are here to stay, because they are much more than just book learning. Even though more and more kids are going on-line, I believe few of them will quit school altogether.
Q: What does the woman think of conventional schools?
【解析】选C。V1中最后的那句一般疑问句问的是网上教育是否会取代传统的学校教育。
预测的答案多半是―会‖或者―不会‖，这样可以迅速排除B和D；听到doubt 这个词，就可以排除A。V1的话中带问句的地方是关键，解释的地方可以不加注意。同理，V2肯定或者否定的回答的部分是精华，解释部分也可以当作没听到。
18【原文】W: Bob said that Seattle is a great place for conferences.
M: He‘s certainly in a position to make that comment. He‘s been there so often. Q: What dose the man say about Bob? 大学英语四级考试试点考试样卷 T13
【解析】选A。女士：―鲍勃说西雅图是开会的好地方。‖男士：―他当然站在自己的立场
上给意见了。他常常去那。‖其实，本题相当简单。只要听到―He‘s been there so often.‖，就会很容易地选出正确答案A―他去过西雅图很多次。‖
19【原文】M: This article is nothing but advertising developers. I don‘t think the houses for sale
are half that good.
W: Come on. David. Why so negative? We‘re thinking of buying a home, aren‘t we? Just a trip to look at the place won‘t cost us much. Q: What can be inferred from the conversation?
大学英语四级考试试点考试样卷 T17
【解析】选D。男士：―这篇文章其实就是一个房地产商做的广告。我觉得那些出售的房
子没有他说的一半好。‖女士：―大卫。不要这样嘛，为什么这么消极呢？我们正在考虑买房子呀，不是吗？只是去那个地方看一看也不会花多长时间的。‖女士提到―Just a trip to look at the place won‘t cost us much.‖，而男士的意见正相反，就是不愿去看房，故选D。
20【原文】W: Having visited so many countries, you must be able to speak several different
3
languages.
M: I wish I could. But Japanese and of course English are the only language I can speak.
Q: What do we learn from the conversation? [2007.1/T13]
【解析】选A。本题属于虚拟语气题和中but题。女士问：―去过那么多国家，你肯定会说
几种不同的语言吧？‖男士回答：―我希望如此，但是只会讲日语和英语。‖重点应该听but后的内容。从―of course English‖可以推断，英语是他的母语，那么他
只有一种外语能力。所以答案选A，即―男士会讲一门外语‖。
21【原文】M: How is John now? Is he feeling any better?
W: Not yet. It still seems impossible to make him smile. Talking to him is really
difficult and he gets upset easily over little things.
Q: What do we learn from the conversation? [2007.1/T16] 【解析】选B。本题为综合判断题。男士关切的问：―John的病怎么样了，他现在感觉好些
了吗？‖女士回答说：―现在情况不好，几乎不可能看到他有笑脸，很难同他交谈，而且他特别容易对小事感到烦闷。‖该题涉及到精神方面和心里方面的问题，从上下文推断John不是身体某个部位有病，而是心理方面的问题。所以选B―他存在情感问题‖为正确答案。
22【原文】M: Are you telling me you don‘t have a house-keeper?
W: No, we don‘t. If you make a mess, you clean it yourself.
Q: What do we learn from this conversation? [2006.6新四级/T12] 【解析】选A。本题属于综合判断题。男士说：―你难道是说没有管家？‖。女士说：―是
的，我们没有。如果你搞乱了，得自己收拾。‖B项―女士需要管家‖，C项―女士的房子很乱‖和D项―女士的工作是管家‖均属语意干扰项。从女士的回答中可以推出答案，即A项―女士自己做家务‖为正确答案。
23【原文】M: You look like you are freezing to death. Why don‘t you put this on?
W: Thank you, it was so warm at noon. I didn‘t expect the weather to change so
quickly.
Q: What do we learn from the conversation? [2006.6新四级/T14] 【解析】选D)。本题属于综合判断题。男士说：―你看起来冻的要死，干吗不穿上这个？‖。

24【原文】M: What was it like growing up in New York‘s Bronx District? Was it safe?

and buy things when I was about 8 years old.

25【原文】M: Madam, I hear you have an apartment for rent. Can I take a look at it?
W: Sure, you‘re welcome any time by appointment, but I have to tell you the building
4

Script for the following 12 long conversations: Conversation 1
W: I haven‘t seen you here for a couple weeks. Have you stopped eating or something? M: No. Does it look like I‘ve stopped eating? I‘ve been spending a lot of time in the library. W: Working on a paper?
M: I wish I was working on a paper！I‘m working on three different papers: anthropology, English lit., and history.
W: Wow, that is a lot of work.
M: Yeah, and what‘s frustrating is that I‘m studying the nineteenth century British Empire in all three classes, but I can‘t just write a single paper for all three. W: Why not?
M: The professors won‘t let me. Even if I make it three times as long as the suggested length. W: That‘s too bad. Could you write your papers on three aspects of one topic? M: Hmmm. What do you mean? Do you have something in mind?
W: Well, let‘s see. Hmm…Maybe you could do something with Romanticism, like, oh…write your anthropology paper on the cultural basis of Romanticism, and, uh, your history paper on the influence of the Romantic poets on British foreign policy, and, OK, and your English paper on an analysis of some Romantic poems.
M: Hey, that‘s not a bad idea! I‘ve already started the research for one of the papers, so I can use that. What can I do to repay you?
W: You want to write up my chemistry lab for me?
M: I‘d love to, but I‘ve never taken chemistry, so I‘m not sure you‘d like the results.
W: Oh well, no thanks necessary then. Have a good weekend, and try to get out of the library and get some sleep. You have big circles under your eyes. M: OK, I‘ll try. See you later. Questions:
1. What has the man been busy doing all week?
