What’s true about the orchestra a. It failed for the fourth time in public performance. b. Its performance was so charming that even a dog would enjoy it. c. It performed poorly the fourth movement. d. It did not complete the whole performance due to some specific reasons.
参考答案:C
解析:[听力原文]The orchestra made a complete dog’s breakfast of the fourth movement.[解题思路] 本题型考查考生对一些在语法、搭配、固定用法等方面并非浅显易懂而且在语义上一语双关的句子的理解。[典型试题解析] 每题只有一个句子,考生在完成这一类题目的时候可以根据上下文来推测。例如,第 14题,原句为You don’t have to feel surprised. David always likes to fly in the face of the company’s rules.如果David像大多数人一样遵守公司的规则,就不会出现前面的“feel surprised”了:又如第12题,原句为We’ve paid off the mortgage,so we’re sitting pretty now,考生也可以根据说话人提到了已经“paid off the mortgage”来推测“sit pretty”为经济压力小、生活状况比较理想的意思。该题还可能考查考生的词汇量,例如,第18题原句为Although ranked as one of the ten leading box office stars in the mid-1950s,June Allyson’s Hollywood career waned at the end of that decade and she moved into television. 该题虽长,但是考查核心点为其中的词语“wane”。
