听力原文：W:Sam, could you review the results of the survey on leisure sporting activities again? We need to plan our proposal for tomorrow’s meeting.M:Sure. I’ve summarized the results in the handout, broken down by consumer age groups and sporting activities. The survey was administered to 550 men and women between the ages of 18 and 55 years old. The results have been compiled in the following age groups: 18 to 26, 27 to 35, 36 to 45, and 46 to 55. According to the results, the most active group involved in sporting activities are those between 18 and 26 years old, followed by those 36 to 45 years old.W:Okay.M:As far as particular sports are concerned, people in these two groups cited jogging as their favorite recreational sport followed by skiing, tennis, swimming, and cycling.W:Hmm. Based on what you’ve said, I think we should consider targeting the 18 to 26 year-old age group more in the future. I also feel we should consider expanding our line of athletic shoes, particularly jogging and tennis footwear. We also have to come up with a more appealing slogan aimed at this age group.M:I see what you mean. However, when these results are compared with the survey carried out three years ago, we can see a growing trend among older consumers—those 14, I mean 46 to 55—who are becoming more conscious and concerned about staying fit. I believe this trend will continue, so we should focus on this group instead.W:I see your point. Well, let’s meet again on Wednesday to iron out more of the details of this proposal.13. Which group seems to be most active in sports?14. Which sport was cited as the third most popular?15. What is the man’s suggestion on the marketing strategies?

Section B
听力原文：The winter gift-giving season is responsible for twenty percent of all retail spending at American businesses. But how and when people buy holiday gifts is changing. Record numbers of Americans are turning to the Internet. More than 100 million people are expected to buy something online this holiday season. Traditionally, the biggest shopping day of the year was in late November on the day after Thanksgiving. People still call it “Black Friday.” The idea was that it could push businesses “into the black”—the traditional color for recording profits. Red is for debts. But now the busiest days are right before Christmas. Many people wait for last-minute price reductions. With the rise of the Internet, the National Retail Federation came up with a new term. “Cyber Monday”is the Monday after Thanksgiving. The idea is that many people look in stores over the weekend. Then, to
save time, they order online using the Internet at their jobs when they return back to work. Cyber Monday is a big day online. But market researchers at ComScore Networks reported that the biggest day of the holiday season so far was December thirteenth. The company said people spent almost 670 million dollars at American sites that day. That did not include travel sites. ComScore estimates that Online spending during this holiday season will reach almost 25 billion dollars that is 25 percent over last year. Online selling makes it easier for businesses to react to changing conditions. It costs less to change the advertising on a Web site than in stores.16. What does the speaker say about “Black Friday”?17. What do people do before “Cyber Monday”?18. How much money was spent on holiday online shopping last year?

C、D两项还分别提到了两个冬季的节日，B提到了购物，可进一步推测短文的话题与节日购物有关。

根据原文，black指的商家账本上记录利润的颜色，应该是lucky而不是unlucky，故排除A。

传统上最忙的购物日是Black Friday，但现在变为Christmas的前几天，故排除B和D。

听力原文：I love trees because they have many different shades of green, so many that it’s almost impossible to count. When I paint a picture of a tree I use many shades of green and many more shades of brown. My favorite thing about trees is that they always seem to have a glow around them. I love trees because they always smell so fresh and clean. I like to go to the nursery because I love the smell of trees, it’s so refreshing. It’s a glass of cool water on a hot day, or a damp cloth on a hot forehead. One of my favorite things about trees is that they are fun to climb. I started climbing trees when I was very little. I especially like to climb my grandpa’s apple tree. I love to wind through the branches, and climb up to a board that has been placed there. 0nce up, I like to think and relax, or bring a book up there with me. It’s fun to let my imagination run away with me while eating apples. I love trees in the autumn when they display their beautiful colors. In the autumn time, splashes of red, yellow, orange, and green decorate the mountainsides. The maples go red, the oak and aspen go yellow while the evergreens maintain their beautiful shade of green. Trees make life possible because they use the carbon dioxide and release oxygen which makes it so that we can breathe. If we exterminate trees, the effects could be fatal. There may be global warming, lack of oxygen, and we would definitely not have any lumber or paper.22. What does the speaker do when painting pictures of trees?23. What aspect of trees is the speaker referring to when saying that “It’s a glass of cool water on a hot day”?24. What does the speaker like doing in the grandfather’s tree?25. According to the speaker, how do trees make life possible?
22．
A．The speaker uses more green than brown.
B．The speaker uses shadows around the trees.
C．The speaker uses the golden background.
D．The speaker uses many different colors to paint.
正确答案：D
解析：短文提到，“我”画树时会用很多浓淡不同的绿色和更多不同色调的褐色。

可知“我”用了多种颜色。

所以D正确。

由选项中的关键词可猜测本题问与画画有关的内容。

原文提到“我”用了不同色度的绿色和棕色来画树，其中棕色比绿色要多，因此排除A。

shade“色调”与shadow’“阴影”发音相似，是B迷惑性所在。

知识模块：长对话
23．
A．The feel of trees.
B．The smell of trees.
C．The color of trees.
D．The shape of trees.
正确答案：B
解析：短文提到，树木的气味有如夏日里的一杯凉水、滚烫的额头前一块湿润的布，令人感觉清新。

故答案为B。

四个选项分别是对树木的外观和质感的描述，可猜测话题与树木的特征有关。

文中相关的地方重复了两次smell这个词，而且用refreshing来补充说明它的效果。

知识模块：长对话
24．
A．Playing games in the branches.
B．Staying in the tree house.
C．Playing with toys up there.
D．Thinking while eating apples.
正确答案：D
解析：四个选项都是动名词结构，描述某人的活动细节，其中A、B两项与树有关。

短文提到，“我”小时候喜欢爬上爷爷的苹果树，边思考边吃苹果。

故答案为D。

选项中的eating是原词再现，听到什么选什么。

知识模块：长对话
25．
A．They serve as an important energy source.
B．They provide material for daily life.
C．They produce O2 so we can breathe.
D．They can adjust the climate.
正确答案：C
解析：短文提到，树木为生命提供可能，是因为它们吸收二氧化碳和释放出氧气，使我们能呼吸。

故答案为C。

根据选项的描述，联系上几道题的选项，可知这道题的主题是“树”，因此，主语they指的是trees。

每项的描述本身都没有错，估计问题规定了某些范围或条件，解题的关键是有针对性地回答问题。
