一、听力理解。
请听下面3段对话。每段对话后有一小题,从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项。每段对话读两遍。
()1. What's Bob's hobby?
A. Playing basketball.
B. Playing volleyball.
C. Playing tennis.
()2. How does Paul usually spend his free time?
A. Playing badminton.
B. Playing football.
C. Watching TV.
()3. What does Linda really mean?
A. She loves hiking very much and can't wait to go.
B. She doesn't want to go hiking and has another idea.
C. She is too tired to enjoy any relaxing activities tomorrow.

答案略

()1. I have collected some with beautiful Chinese landscapes. I can stick them on envelopes(信封) when I send letters.

A.postcards
B.programs
C.stamps
D.coins

C

先理解句子含义：我收集了一些印有美丽中国风景的物品，寄信时可以将它们贴在信封上。逐一分析选项：A明信片无法贴在信封上用于寄信，B节目不符合语境，C邮票的用途就是贴在信封上邮寄信件，常印有风景图案，完全符合句意，D硬币不符合语境，因此选C。

()2. —The story of the astronauts really me to study harder.
—Me too. They are so determined and hard-working.

A.stops
B.surprises
C.fears
D.inspires

D

先辨析各选项词义：A. stops 阻止；B. surprises 使惊讶；C. fears 使害怕；D. inspires 激励、鼓舞。结合答句提到宇航员意志坚定、勤奋的语境，此处要表达“宇航员的故事激励我更努力学习”，inspire sb. to do sth. 是符合语义和常用搭配的用法，其余选项语义都不符合语境。

()3. —What happened to Sarah just now? She is shaking.
—A big dog suddenly ran at her and made her .

A.calm
B.scared
C.glad
D.interested

B

梳理对话逻辑，上文提示Sarah正在发抖，事发原因是一只大狗突然朝她冲过去。分析选项：A冷静的、C开心的、D感兴趣的都不符合该场景下的正常反应，B害怕的既符合场景逻辑，也和前文Sarah发抖的状态对应，因此选B。
