21. What kinds of books are listed in Books in Print?

　　【解析】選[C]。女士說“you should try looking in Books in Print”，在男士不知道什么是Books in Print的情況下，女士解釋說，Books in Print是“an index that lists all of the books currently available from publishers”，選項[C]符合題干要求。注意，in print是指“(books)currently available from publishers，正在出售的”;out of print是它的反義詞組，表示“已售完”，也很常用。

　　Conversation Two

　　W: Didn’t you write a paper about Albert Kahn last semester?

　　M: Yes, for my history of architecture class.

　　W: Oh, I am taking it now and I have to do some research on industrial architecture. I need to read up on Kahn’s factories. So I would like to see what you wrote about them.

　　M: I don’t think my paper will help; I focus on his classical design like Clements library and office buildings, but you are interested in the modern building he is famous for.

　　W: Yes he is best known for his factory, especially the auto plants in Detroit. He made a breakthrough in industrial design. You know before his time, factories were so cmp3ped and inefficient but his factory provide enough light and air and open space. So the cars could be assembled in one huge plant.

　　M: I remember reading that previously, factories had wooden fmp3e and the heavy machinery made the buildings vibrate and there were firehazards too. But when Kahn started to design auto plants around the turn of the century, reinforced concrete had just been invented. Talk about the breakthrough, not only were the buildings sturdy and fireproof but they were cheap to put up too!

　　W: You seem to know a lot of about his industrial career.

　　M: Actually even though I wrote about his other works, I did a lot of background reading. Let me see if I can dig up that paper for you. There were some books of articles included in my bibliography that you might want to look up at the library.

　　Questions 22 to 25 are based on the conversation you have just heard.

　　22. Why are the students discussing Albert Kahn?

　　【解析】選[D]。由女士所說的...I have to do some research...I need to read up on kahn’s factories可以推知，女士在研究卡恩的作品，整個對話就此展開。

　　23. In which is Albert Kahn best known for?

　　【解析】選[B]。聽音時注意和Kahn 相關的信息：the modern building he is famous for以及best known for his factory。問題問Kahn因為什么最有名，[B]為該細節的同義轉述。

　　24. To what industry did Albert Kahn make a major contribution?

　　【解析】選[D]。聽音時注意提到的行業。根據especially the auto plants“汽車車間”及So the cars could be assembled in one huge plant。可推出答案為[D]“運輸行業”。

　　25. According to the talk, what was one problem with factories before Kahn’s time?

　　【解析】選[A]。聽音時注意和建筑缺點相關的信息，對話中男士提到there were firehazards too。問題問卡恩時代之前的汽車工廠存在的問題，[A]為細節再現。

　　答案及解析：

　　Section C

　　26.【解析】claim。從manufacturer’s這個所有結構可知所填詞為名詞，而且可以和介詞for搭配。另外，live up to和所填詞構成動賓搭配，live up to意為　“遵守(諾言、原則等)，符合”。句中的or表示：faulty和or后面的部分是選擇性并列關系。那么，consumer買的商品可能有瑕疵或者不像manufacturer標榜得那么好。claim作名詞時常和for搭配，for后面的it指代的是an item。

　　27.【解析】produce�？涨皐ill限定所填詞為一原形動詞，并在句中作謂語，和results構成動賓搭配。主語this action是指上句中的present the guarantee at the store of purchase，在很多情況下，這種方式都比較有效。表示“產生好的效果”的搭配有produce / bring about / bear / give / yield (good) results。

　　28.【解析】complaint。從in general(一般而言)可知，這句話是對上一句的進一步說明，所填詞很可能和上一句中的關鍵詞complain有關，而且作空后settled的賓語。Settle暗含“解決(棘手的或令人不愉快的事情)”。complaint是complain的名詞形式，take one’s complaint意為“抱怨”，等同于complain。

　　29.【解析】assuming。空前的句子結構已完整，所以本空應填一“動詞+ing”，即現在分詞作伴隨狀語。

　　30.【解析】person。in person意為“親自，本人”，為固定短語。空后的轉折句but if they cannot get to the place of purchase...to phone or write the complaint in a letter起提示作用。

　　31.【解析】acceptable�？涨暗腎t is及to phone…表明本空中應填一形容詞。考生應注意：短文聽寫中若出現It is/was to do結構時，所填詞往往為以�瞐ble結尾的形容詞。

　　32.【解析】fimp3ly。所填詞前面的but表示“盡管…還是…”，所填詞和 politely應該詞性相同，但意義相對。短文聽寫中的副詞往往以�瞝y結尾。

　　33.【解析】question。in question為固定搭配，意為“正在談論的”，修飾the item。在文章語境中，正在談論的商品也就是顧客向經理抱怨的商品。

　　34.【答案】the consumer will succeed best by presenting specific infomp3ation as to what is wrong, rather than by making general statements

　　【Main Points】the consumer will succeed by presenting specific infomp3ation，but not by making general statements

　　35.【答案】the consumer should do this, stating the complaint as politely and as fimp3ly as possible

　　【Main Points】the consumer should do this, stating the complaint politely and fimp3ly

　　36.【答案】She or he can threaten to take the seller to court or report the seller to a private or public organization responsible for protecting consumers rights

　　【Main Points】She or he can threaten to accuse the seller or report the seller to an organization responsible for protecting consumers rights
