Who plays the role of the President in the film?【解析】選[C]?！军c睛】短文目的就是短文主旨。Passage Two【聽前預(yù)測】預(yù)覽三道題各選項，結(jié)合其中多次出現(xiàn)film(s) ，American，President可知，短文很可能與電影有關(guān)，該電影很可能涉及美國總統(tǒng)。短文開頭說話者通過自己的年齡引出年老問題，表達(dá)了自己對于年老的復(fù)雜想法，講到自己要和別人分享一下對于年老的看法，并引用了羅伯特27. How does the speaker consider his fifty years of life?【解析】選[D]。I recently turned fifty, which is young for a tree, midlife for an elephant, and ancient for a sportsman. Fifty is a nice number for the states in the US or for a national speed limit but it is not a number that I was prepared to have hung on me. Fifty is supposed to be my father’s age, but now I am stuck with this number and everything it means.A few days ago, a friend tried to cheer me up by saying, “Fifty is what forty used to be.” He had made an inspirational point. Am I over the hill? People keep telling me that the hill has been moved, and I keep telling them that the highjump bar has dropped from the six feet I once easily cleared to the four feet that is impossible for me now.“You are not getting older, you are getting better,” says Dr. Joyce Brothers. This, however, is the kind of doctor who inspires a second opinion.And so as I approach the day when I cannot even jump over the tennis net, I am moved to share some thoughts on aging with you. I am moved to show how aging feels for me physically and mentally. Getting older of course, is obviously a better change than the one that brings you eulogies. In fact, a poet named Robert Browning considered it the best change of all:Grow old along with me! The best is yet to be.Whether or not Browning was right, most of my first fifty years have been golden ones, so I will settle for what is ahead being as good as what has gone by. I find myself moving toward what is ahead with a curious blend of both fighting and accepting my aging, hoping that the philosopher was right when he said, “Old is always fifteen years from now.”Questions 26 to 28 are based on the passage you have just heard.26. What does the speaker seem to tell us in the beginning of the passage?【解析】選[B]。選項中的The woman，gets a ticket，arrests等表明，本題可能考查對女士的處罰結(jié)果。對話中男士說did you realize that you were speeding in a school zone?（你意識到你在校區(qū)超速行駛了嗎？），故答案為[C]?！军c睛】人物關(guān)系要根據(jù)說話者的語氣、語調(diào)、關(guān)鍵信息詞進(jìn)行推斷。Conversation Two【聽前預(yù)測】由選項中的parked illegally，exceeded the speed limit，The woman gets a ticket等可推知，對話很可能與女士違反了交通規(guī)則有關(guān)，涉及到對女士的處罰等。由對話中男士提到的Before I pay my money I should be clear that this book is useful for me. I don’t want to pay for it and then find I have paid for ，故答案為[A]。【點睛】surprises對應(yīng)問題中的surprising。in person意為“親自
