　　Passage Two

　　The northern parts of the United States get very cold in the winter. It snows a great deal andthe temperature often goes below zero degrees in January, February and March. But [29]thenortheastern and north-central regions of the country have been financial andindustrial centers, and they are heavily populated. In recent years, [29]people in theseregions have begun to take vacations during these cold winter months. They go tosouthern parts of the country where it is warmer. Many go to Florida where the weather istropical. Others go to the southwestern states of Arizona, New Mexico and Texas where theyfind dry desert climates. It has become common, nowadays, for older people to move south tothese places when they retire. [30]Typically these people sell their houses in their homecommunities and move south to begin a new life as senior citizens. Their children likelyhave homes of their own, and many of them are moving south away from communities wherethey were raised. The southern and southwestern parts of the country are now growing fasterthan any other parts. Business and industry have opened many new offices and factories in thesouth. California is already the most popular state in the country. [31]Texas and Florida aregrowing fast too. They may soon replace such states as New York and Pennsylvania inpopulation.

　　Questions 29 to 31 are based on the passage you have just heard.

　　29. What does the speaker say about the northern parts of the United States

　　正确答案：B

　　解析：选项可分为两类：某些地区吸引人(A、C);人们来到或远离这些地区(B、D)，且与冬天有关。短文开头大篇幅介绍美国北方的寒冷，人们选择去南方度假，甚至退休后举家南迁。因此答案为B。选项D过于夸大其词。

　　30. Why do some retirees sell their houses in their home communities

　　正确答案：C

　　解析：短文中间部分提到有些老人退休后会卖掉房子，紧接着说了原因，搬到南方开始新的生活。C中的tobegin a new life基本上是听到的原词，in warmer weather是对上下文的同义表达。D项具有一定的干扰性。

　　31. In which aspect will Texas and Florida surpass New York and Pennsylvania

　　正确答案：A

　　解析：A是尾句听到的与四个地区有关的原词。符合短文听力听到什么选什么的解题原则。

　　Passage Three

　　Germanys Rhine River is hundreds of miles long, but not all of it is the Romantic Rhine ofguidebooks. The stretch of river where you can see castles, villages, and vineyards, runs 36miles from Koblenz in the north to Bingen in the south. [32]Visitors like coming to this partof Germany because the scenery is actually stunning. Whether you travel by car, train, orboat, youll see high hills stretching away from the river, topped with castles and vineyards. [33]Some of the castles are open for touring during the tourist season, while othersare hotels, hostels, or the homes of some organizations.

　　The best time to visit the Rhine is during the summer, when you can take full advantage of thesights. Traveling in a cruise yacht is more fun when you can sit in the open rather than downbelow. Of course, [34]be prepared for tourist crowds during the summer.

　　There are several ways to travel along the Rhine. Several river cruise companies offer tours. Ittakes about two hours to cruise from St. Goar to Bacharach, and most visitors agree this is themost scenic part of the Rhine River. You can also take the train that runs between the villagesin the area, and stop anywhere along the way. Another option is to drive the highway thats onthe banks of the river, or ride a bicycle along a trail. [35]If cyclists or drivers want to get tothe other side of the river, a number of ferries are available to get them across.

　　Questions 32 to 35 are based on the passage you have just heard.

　　32. Why do people like to visit Germanys Rhine River according to the speaker

　　正确答案：B

　　解析：文章开头一再提及castles, villages, and vineyards，并且直接听到scenery，其修饰词stunning在答案B中同义替换为breath-taking。

　　33. What does the speaker say about the castles

　　正确答案：B

　　解析：原文提到，一些城堡在旅游季节对游客开放，另外一些则成了酒店、旅馆或一些机构的驻点，故B正确。B项中的accommodation住所是原文hotels和hostels的同义表达。

　　34. What does the speaker remind summer visitors of

　　正确答案：C

　　解析：选项C中的too many people同义替换了原文中的crowds。

　　35. How can cyclists or drivers get across the Rhine River

　　正确答案：A

　　解析：根据选项可预测问题是如何过河，原文最后提到司机可以换乘ferries过河。注意短文结尾处常设考点。
