填空项1:

__________________ （正确答案：

Lawyer）

解析：

[听力原文]11-15

文章开门见山提到他是个律师，如果漏听，后面提到他从什么学校毕业，干什么工作都能帮助推测出正确答案。

填空项1:

__________________ （正确答案：

principle）

解析：

ChesterL．Migden生前针对演员收入问题提出问题并花了许多精力帮助建立新的演员收入标准，因为他不是发薪水的老板，只是建议如何付费，所以应该把答案范围限定在标准、准则此类词上。

填空项1:

__________________ （正确答案：

1921）

解析：

本题考查考生对于具体信息的听辨能力。

从“BorninNewYorkonMay21,1921,Mr.MigdengraduatedfromColumbiaLawSchoolin1947”可知答案。

填空项1:

__________________ （正确答案：

78）

解析：

本题考查考生对于具体信息的听辨能力。

原句为“Hewas78.”应该看清楚试题，比如这题“AgeofDeath”，说明需要补充的内容肯定是一个表示年龄的数字。

填空项1:

__________________ （正确答案：

Executive）

解析：

此题较难，须明确executive的意思才能正确答题，而且要注意拼写。

这是游客和旅行社工作人员之间的对话，文中两次提到坐火车，因此可认定他们的交通工具是火车。

（2）.Howmuchisthetrip?

（分数：

0.50）

填空项1:

__________________ （正确答案：

$100）

解析：

此题只要注意问题“Howmuchisthatone?

”的答案即可，男的说“That's$100.”。

（3）.Inwhatkindofhotelwillshestay?

（分数：

0.50）

填空项1:

__________________ （正确答案：

Three-starhotel）

解析：

此题关键要明白前面提到的accommodation指的是住宿。

（4）.Whatkindoffooddoesthewomanwanttotry?

（分数：

0.50）

填空项1:

__________________ （正确答案：

Scottishfood）

解析：

文中女的提到“I'dliketotrysomeofthatScottishfood”，由此可得正确答案。

（5）.Whenwouldthetripbegin?

（分数：

0.50）

填空项1:

__________________ （正确答案：

Tuesday）

解析：

旅行社工作人员说旅行一共是三天，说明第一个提到的日子是他们的出发日期，因此填Tuesday。

注意Tuesday是专有名词，第一个字母要大写。
