新東方：2009年6月英語四級聽力答案詳解及點評

　　13.W: Tony was awarded a medal for rescuing several families from the forest fire.

　　M: I really admire his courage.

　　Q: What do we learn about Tony from the conversation?

　　解析：選 B He was very courageous

　　難度等級：四星

　　Pre-Listening(預讀分析)：

　　CD為相反選項但未出答案，屬例外考點，但出題點本身同義替換簡單，原文Courage替換成Courageous.

　　While-Listening(聽時重點)：

　　本題難點在于考官未按常規(guī)出題原則設置原文和選項特征，答案即不符合“尾詞錯誤”也跳出了相反選項范圍，故聽時對短時判斷和自身實力的要求更高一些;同時考點過于明顯，讓人難以相信，可能導致不少考慮過多或死守原則做題的同學出現(xiàn)失誤。

　　14.M: My washing machine is more than fifteen years old and it has worked just fine until last night.

　　W: You’ll never be able to get parts for it, even from Japan. So it might be time to invest a more recent model.

　　Q: What does the woman suggest the man do?

　　解析：選 B Buy a new washing machine.

　　難度等級：四星

　　Pre-Listening(預讀分析)：

　　因果題型，出題點同義替換難度較大，但相反項明顯;BD是相反項，B選項“買新洗衣機”，D卻說“舊洗衣機修理后繼續(xù)用”;A選項場景唯一可排除;還剩C選項，考官用Machine混淆視聽，與Washing machine無關(guān)，也可聽時由You’ll never be able to get parts for it時排除。

　　While-Listening(聽時重點)：

　　由You’ll never be able to get parts for it再次排除C，原文只字未提fix或關(guān)于修理的任何內(nèi)容，可排除D，對話重點由SO(原因項標志詞)引出，最終選B。

　　15.W: I heard about your promotion, you must be thrilled.

　　M: Not really, the new office is huge, but the word load has doubled.

　　Q: What do we learn about the man from the conversation?

　　解析：選 D He is not excited about his new position
