聽(tīng)力對(duì)話(huà)部分簡(jiǎn)評(píng)：
這次聽(tīng)力對(duì)話(huà)考查比較靈活，直接信息考查不多，需要簡(jiǎn)單推理的言外之意考查較多。
下面是對(duì)話(huà)部分原文和選項(xiàng)，對(duì)照一下，正確答案就很清楚了。此處簡(jiǎn)單分析一下解題的關(guān)鍵。
1. m: i think the hostess really went out of her way to make the party a success.
w: yes, the food and drinks were great, but if only we had known a few of the other guests.
q: what did the two speakers say about the party?
　1. a) they went a long way to attend the party.
　　b) they didn't think much of the food and drinks.
　　c) they knew none of the other guests at the party.
　　d) they enjoyed the party better than the other guests.
第1題里的虛擬語(yǔ)氣…if only we had known a few of the other guests，表達(dá)了與過(guò)去事實(shí)相反的情況，“要是當(dāng)時(shí)認(rèn)識(shí)幾個(gè)其他客人就好了”。問(wèn)題的答案就是過(guò)去的事實(shí)，那就是他們不認(rèn)識(shí)聚會(huì)上的其他客人。
　　
2. m: can you stop by the post office and get me some envelopes and 39 cents’ stamps?
w: well, i am not going to stop by the post office, but i can buy you some at the bookstore after i see the dentist on market street.
q: where will the woman go first?
2. a) to the bookstore.
b) to the dentist's.
c) to the market.
d) to the post office.
該題考查對(duì)話(huà)中動(dòng)作信息的順序問(wèn)題，要求考生記住所有動(dòng)作的內(nèi)容，然后記住提到的順序。同類(lèi)考題是對(duì)話(huà)雙方提及多個(gè)信息（如多個(gè)時(shí)間），然后隨機(jī)考查其中某個(gè)具體信息。

3. m: how do you like the new physician who replaced dr. andrews?
w: he may not seem as agreeable or as thorough as dr. andrews, but at least he doesn’t keep patients waiting for hours.
q: what can we infer from the woman’s answer?
3. a) dr. andrews has been promoted for his thoroughness.
b) she disagrees with dr. andrews on many occasions.
c) dr. andrews used to keep his patients waiting.
d) she dislikes dr. andrews as much as the new physician.
第3題，兩人對(duì)話(huà)涉及到兩個(gè)醫(yī)生性格和習(xí)慣做法的對(duì)比。第二個(gè)說(shuō)話(huà)人提到了新外科醫(yī)生不會(huì)讓病人久等幾小時(shí)這一事實(shí)，正確的選項(xiàng)就是從這個(gè)對(duì)比推理出來(lái)的。該題難度系數(shù)較低。

4. w: tom must be in a bad mood today. he hasn’t said half a dozen words all afternoon.
m: oh, really? that’s not like the tom we know.
q: what does the man imply?
4. a) tom is usually talkative.
b) tom has a very bad temper.
c) tom has dozens of things to attend to.
d) tom is disliked by his colleagues.
第4題首先提到tom現(xiàn)在的情緒不對(duì)頭，整下午沒(méi)說(shuō)幾句話(huà)。第二個(gè)人很驚訝，“that’s not like the tom we know”，表明tom今天的情緒和大家對(duì)他的一貫表現(xiàn)不同。答案很顯然是tom通常是健談的（甚至可能是唐僧般的超級(jí)話(huà)匣子）。

5. w: do you have the seminar schedule with you? i’d like to find out the topic for friday.
m: i gave it to my friend, but there should be copies available in the library. i can pick one up for you.
q: what does the man promise to do?
5. a) to pickup the woman from the library.
b) to make a copy of the schedule for his friend.
c) to find out more about the topic for the seminar.
d) to get the seminar schedule for the woman.
這個(gè)題目考查了信息指代的連續(xù)性，seminar schedule“研討會(huì)日程表”是關(guān)鍵，后面的 “it”, “copies” 和 “one”都指向這一信息。問(wèn)題就落在“one”上。注：seminar 大學(xué)里在教師指導(dǎo)下定期進(jìn)行討論的研究班/研討會(huì)。

6 w: i wonder if you could sell me the psychology textbooks. you took the course last semester, didn’t you?
m: as a matter of fact, i already sold them back to the school bookstore.
q: what do we learn from the conversation?
6. a) the woman has to get the textbooks in other ways.
b) the woman has sold her used textbooks to the bookstore.
c) the man is going to buy his textbooks from a bookstore.
d) the man doesn't want to sell his textbooks to the woman.
推理題。原文男的說(shuō)了書(shū)賣(mài)回給書(shū)店了，也就是不在自己手上了，言外之意就是女士得另想辦法。注意，有的同學(xué)只聽(tīng)到textbooks和bookstore就選了b或c，中了偷梁換柱的圈套，這兩個(gè)錯(cuò)誤選項(xiàng)都利用了原文提到的信息，但從整個(gè)句子的意思來(lái)看卻都歪曲了原文。

7. w: here is this week’s schedule, tony. on monday, there is the board meeting. your speech to the lion’s club is on tuesday afternoon. then on wednesday you have an appointment with your lawyer and…
m: wait, you mean the business conference on tuesday is cancelled?
q: what will the man do this tuesday?
7. a) attend a conference.
b) give a speech.
c) meet his lawyer.
d) make a business trip.
這個(gè)題目與第2題有一點(diǎn)類(lèi)似，這個(gè)要復(fù)雜一些，要求記住一堆時(shí)間和對(duì)應(yīng)的事件/動(dòng)作。題目考查的是記憶力，并不牽扯推理技巧。

8. m: can you believe it? jessie told her boss he was wrong to have fired his marketing director.
w: yeah, but you know jessie. if she has something in mind, everyone will know about it.
q: what does the woman mean?
8 a) jessie always says what she thinks.
b) jessie seems to have a lot on her mind.
c) jessie is wrong to find fault with her boss.
d) jessie should know the marketing director better.
該題難度不大。答案是原文第二個(gè)人對(duì)jessie的評(píng)價(jià)進(jìn)行的改寫(xiě)。“無(wú)論她腦子里想什么，大家都會(huì)知道。”也就是她向來(lái)是直言不諱。
9. m: we’ve got three women researchers in our group: mary, betty and helen. do you know them?
w: sure. mary is active and sociable. betty is the most talkative woman i’ve ever met. but guess what? helen’s just the opposite.
q: what do we learn from the woman’s remark about helen?
9. a) heien is talkative.
b) helen is active.
c) helen is sociable.
d) helen is quiet.
這個(gè)題目信息復(fù)雜程度有一次提高。三個(gè)人的性格進(jìn)行列舉，“helen’s just the opposite”表明她跟betty進(jìn)行了對(duì)比。根據(jù)betty既然最健談，那么helen最文靜。
10.w: jimmy said that he was going to marry a rich french businesswoman.
m: don’t be so sure. he once told me that he had bought a big house. yet he’s still sharing an apartment with mark.
q: what does the man imply?
10. a) jimmy will regret marrying a frenchwoman.
b) jimmy is not serious in making decisions.
c) jimmy is rich enough to buy a big house.
d) jimmy's words are often not reliable.
這個(gè)題目考查了轉(zhuǎn)折的用法。don’t be so sure意思是告訴對(duì)方不要太肯定jimmy說(shuō)的話(huà)。然后舉例子說(shuō)明jimmy是如何不厚道，“他曾告訴我他買(mǎi)了大房子，但實(shí)際上仍跟人合住一個(gè)公寓”。

閱讀簡(jiǎn)評(píng)：
這次閱讀理解難度不大。從選材方面講，以人文為主，輔以一篇自然學(xué)科的。從命題思路來(lái)看，沒(méi)有什么明顯變化，比如細(xì)節(jié)題上的偷梁換柱，常識(shí)錯(cuò)位，推理題上的夸大后果，主旨題的以偏概全。這些在我的沖刺講義里都有詳細(xì)的例子對(duì)應(yīng)。大家可以到我個(gè)人網(wǎng)站下載flash版的講義做參考。
我舉一個(gè)犯錯(cuò)較多的例子簡(jiǎn)單解析一下。
第一篇：講跨國(guó)求職簡(jiǎn)歷寫(xiě)作要求的。
25. according to the author's last piece of advice, the applicants should be aware of________.
　　a) the different educational systems in the us and the uk
　　b) the differences between the varieties of english
　　c) the recipient's preference with regard to the format
　　d) the distinctive features of american and british cultures
原文相關(guān)句有一點(diǎn)點(diǎn)迷惑性，但稍微有點(diǎn)英語(yǔ)語(yǔ)言常識(shí)的人不會(huì)犯低級(jí)錯(cuò)誤的。
[if you are submitting your resume in english, find out if the recipient （收件人) uses british english or american english because there are variations between the two versions. ）for example, university education is often referred to as 'tertiary education' in the united kingdom, but this term is almost never used in the united states. [a reader who is unfamiliar with these variations may assume that your resume contains errors.]
根據(jù)我推薦的閱讀方法，文章最后一段的主題句和結(jié)尾句是必讀的，這里面已經(jīng)有答案了，如果審查簡(jiǎn)歷的人不了解英式英語(yǔ)和美式英語(yǔ)的差別，可能會(huì)把簡(jiǎn)歷里的一些用法當(dāng)成錯(cuò)誤。在第二句使用了例子來(lái)說(shuō)明兩種英語(yǔ)的差別。因此答案并非是有的同學(xué)和老師理解的a選項(xiàng)“英美教育制度差異問(wèn)題”。

詞匯題簡(jiǎn)評(píng)：
詞匯題難度較以往幾次略有增大，難度大點(diǎn)的題目都需要考生通過(guò)句子信息間的邏輯關(guān)系來(lái)判斷詞匯短語(yǔ)的語(yǔ)境含義。本來(lái)比較簡(jiǎn)單的固定搭配題目也提出了類(lèi)似要求。
但只要掌握大綱內(nèi)的積極詞匯的基本含義和用法，學(xué)會(huì)經(jīng)常分析句子意群之間的邏輯關(guān)系。這種題目的正確率就會(huì)大幅提高。下面舉兩個(gè)同學(xué)犯錯(cuò)最多的題目簡(jiǎn)單解析一下。
56. although they lost their jobs, savings and unemployment benefits allow the couple to____their comfortable home.
a) come in for b) catch up with c) look forward to d) hold on to
d選項(xiàng)短語(yǔ)hold on to 的意思是維持的意思。該題完全可以用代入排除法來(lái)確定邏輯含義最合理的選項(xiàng)。
64. it is clear that the dog has a much greater_______ of its brain devoted to smell than is the case with humans.
a) composition b) compound c) percent d) proportion
這個(gè)題目有語(yǔ)法的比較成分在里面，對(duì)狗的大腦皮層和人的大腦皮層在嗅覺(jué)方面所占比例進(jìn)行了比較。proportion指比例。同學(xué)欠缺大腦科學(xué)方面的常識(shí)也可能是答題出現(xiàn)失誤的原因。

完型填空簡(jiǎn)評(píng)：
完型填空部分題目比較容易，很多同學(xué)在前幾個(gè)題考慮太多，結(jié)果簡(jiǎn)單的題目復(fù)雜化，反而選錯(cuò)。比如71的ago, 73的 in years to come。
記住完型填空的信息是環(huán)環(huán)相扣，我們推導(dǎo)答案多數(shù)需要參考左鄰的信息，具體處理空白的方法要按意群進(jìn)行停頓，然后選擇。做題要貫徹先易后難的原則。

這次作文仍然是近幾年�？嫉膽�(yīng)用文體，但主體仍是考查說(shuō)明文。
因?yàn)槭呛��?bào)，我們可以使用口語(yǔ)體，比如guy等詞匯。格式方面，海報(bào)不需要書(shū)信一樣必須有稱(chēng)謂部分。但通常需要落款。作文我在六月初的四級(jí)沖刺課上里講過(guò)了類(lèi)似的招募信寫(xiě)法，留了題目，我回復(fù)了一些同學(xué)email給我的作文，相信他們這次作文會(huì)考得不錯(cuò)。
