第5题：
资料：The soybean prices ended higher this Monday as traders expect supplies to remain tight.
The actively July contract for soybeans rose 20 cents to settle at $14.85 a bushel.
The U.S. government's weekly prediction for soybean exports was higher than traders expected, said Mike Zulo. President of a consulting company in Atchison, Kansas.
Supplies for beans have been extraordinarily tight as China's demand for soymeal continues to increase even as U.S. production stays relatively steady, he said. Soybean prices have risen about 15 percent this year.
“That U.S.D.A. number caused the trade to refocus on just how razor-thin supplies are heading in to next fall's harvest.” Zulo said.
Why did the prices of soybean rise according to the passage?A.Because the general production of soybean stayed steady.
B.Because the supplies were expected to keep tight.
C.Because China’s demand for soybean increased.
D.Because the trade of soybean was quite active.答案：B解析：本题考查的是细节理解。

单选题According to the woman, what keeps The Journaland The Heraldfrom raising their prices?AThe scrutiny of the local authority.
BThe readers’ protest against high prices.
CEfficient staff in The Journal.
DThe low price of The Times.
正确答案： B解析：
此题涉及对话中关于报纸的价格。由录音可知，男士说到几种报纸中，The Times价格最低。接着女士又提到了正是由于The Times价格低，才限制了The Journal和The herald的提价。由此可以判断出，选项D为正确答案。
【听力原文】
M: Have you seen this story in The Herald? It says The Times is closing down in three months’ time.
W: Gary, that’s good news, that newspaper is terrible. I won’t miss it.
M: What do you mean? The Times is the best newspaper in the city. If that closes, we’ll only have The Herald and that City Journal which is too awful for words.
W: You only like The Timesbecause it takes up to 20 pages every day with sports. This is a newspaper which puts the horoscopes on the bottom of the front page. I think that tells you how serious it is.
M: Come on. That’s hardly fair now. is it? Remember the campaign they did last year to save the children’s hospital. You can’t tell me you didn’t think that was a worthwhile thing to do。
W: They only did that because they knew it would strike a nerve with the average guy in the street. You know, saving a children’s hospital. It’s like the ultimate in populist journalism. Do you remember reading their article a couple of months before criticizing the local authorities wasting money on out-of-date healthcare facilities, including the very same children’s hospital? They have only ever written what they think will sell more newspapers.
M: Well, it obviously didn’t work if they’re closing, did it?
W: No. and thank heavens for that. The City Journalis a great paper and you don’t like it because it doesn’t devote 5 pages every day to baseball stats.
M: This is a baseball city. We’ve got a great team. Why shouldn’t we read about it? Where are we going to get the results now? The Journalputs all the results in one tiny box on the back page and The Heraldgives them maybe a half page. It’s almost as if they feel ashamed at having a successful team here. I just don’t see why people buy The Journal.
W: Err, maybe because it has authentic journalists working there, journalists who know something about what is going on in the rest of the country and the rest of the world. I think a newspaper needs to meet all the needs of its readers, not just those who like sports. The Journal did a great piece on famine in Africa last week, did you read it?
M: No. I can’t say I did. I think they should leave that stuff for the national papers or for the TV news. If I buy a local newspaper, I don’t want to read about the famine in Africa. Those articles are only written by the ambitious journalists who are fishing for jobs in the national press.
W: Oh. you’re so cynical.
M: And another thing. What about the jobs section in The Times? That was one of the most useful parts of it. Three or four pages of good quality, jobs and always local. The Heraldhas one too…look, here on page 17…one page…and look, half of these jobs are on the other side of the state. Every business, every store in this city knows, if they want to employ someone, get someone to work for them, they have to place an ad in The Times. How are all these people going to get work now? This will absolutely wreck the local economy.
W: You certainly know how to exaggerate, Gary. Destroy the local economy, will it? I admit the jobs section was pretty good in The Timesbut one of the other two newspapers will just get the ads instead. That’s how things work. This city just isn’t big enough for three local newspapers and you know it. People only get them to see what’s on in town and to see who’s died.
M: That’s so morbid!
W: It’s true. People use the TV or the Internet for everything else. It’s not like it used to be 10 years ago.
M: The Timeswas the cheapest of them all too. You can bet all the prices are going to go up.
W: Hmm, you could be fight. I think The Times’ low price was the only thing keeping The Journaland The Heraldfrom increasing their prices. I don’t buy a local paper that often to be honest. If I do get one, I find myself reading no more than a few pages anyway.
M: Well. If The Times really does close down, that’s my newspaper buying days finished. I think, in ten years’ time, nobody in this city will even buy a local paper. It’s a shame really, don’t you think?
W: My dad told me when he was a kid, there used to be 5 local newspapers in the city and two others serving only this comer of the state. But you know how it is, companies merge, everyone is looking for savings, efficiency and so on. Now we’ll only have two. It’s survival of the fittest. -

BA Chinese restaurant boasts of genuine Sichuan cuisine.
CA western restaurant has best decoration and high-ranking service.
DA famous restaurant provides entertainment performance to customers.
正确答案： C解析：
理解归纳题。通读文章后可知，手机提供优质的MP3功能、西餐厅的高级装潢和服务、知名餐厅提供娱乐表演项目都属于作者所说的额外加分，而不是基本要求，故选项A、C、D皆可排除。文章第二段在提到客户满意度时举了一个例子：客人们为了享受美食而宁愿忍受恶劣的服务，而好的服务则只是额外加分，不是最重要的；紧接着文章分析了任何行业都要迎合消费者基本需求的必要性。纵观四个选项，中餐厅提供最正宗的川菜即为满足了客人的基本需求，是作者可能提倡的，故答案为B项。 -

DIncluding more advertisements in their newspapers.
正确答案： C解析：
细节题。录音最后说编辑们采取的措施包括“adding news briefs and comprehensive indexes, giving variety to newspaper content to help build the readers’ interest.”，故选C。
【录音原文】
Not everybody reads the daily newspaper. People who do not read newspapers are sometimes referred to as nonreaders. Early research has shown that nonreaders are generally low in education, low in income, either very young or very old. In addition, nonreaders are more likely to live in rural areas and have less contact with neighbors and friends. Other studies show that nonreaders tend to isolate themselves from the community, are less likely to own a home and seldom belong to local voluntary organizations. Why don’t these people read daily paper? They say they don’t have the time, they prefer radio or TV, and they have no interest in reading at all. And besides, they think newspapers are too expensive. Recent surveys, however, have indicated that the portrait of the nonreader is more complicated than first thought. There appears to be a group of nonreaders that does not fit the type mentioned above. They are high in income, and fall into the age group of 26 to 65. They are far more likely to report that they don’t have the time to read the papers, and they have no interest in the content. Editors and publishers are attempting to win them back. First, they are adding news briefs and comprehensive indexes. This will help overcome the time problem. And they are also giving variety to newspaper content to help build the readers’ interest.
Questions 1 to 3 are based on the passage you have just heard.
1. What is typical of nonreaders according to the early research?
2. What are the findings of recent surveys?
3. What are editors and publishers doing to attract the nonreaders?
