题文
（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Almost everyone likes to eat apples. Apples grow in nearly every part of the world. The United States produces more apples than any other country except France. The states of Washington and New York grow the most apples. 71 New York is on the east coast and Washington is on the west near Canada.
Apples are red, yellow or green. They are very popular in the United States. 72 Most American people are often too busy or too tired to cook dinner, so they often have their dinners very simply. Apple juice is also a popular drink and apple pie is the favorite sweet dish for many Americans.
73 The trees there produce nearly five billion apples every year—one apple for every man, woman and child in the whole world.
74 For example, “You are the apple of my eye.” means “You are actually the one I love best and care most.” In China, it is a custom in some places for the marrying couple to hold an apple in each one’s hand, promising that their marriage will be “safe” without anything bad and that their marriage will never be broken. “To apple polish” often refers to a man who fawns (奉承) on somebody for the purpose of getting some benefits. So you can easily get “apple polisher”. However, “in apple-pie order” usually has the same meaning as “in good order”. 75 In fact, it’s another saying about “compare two things that can’t be compared”.
A. The state of Washington is proud of its apples.
B. Apples play an important part in people’s health.
There are many stories and sayings about apples.
D. Perhaps this is why “New York” is often called “Big Apple” by some people.
E. The apples in France are better than those in America.
F. Many people like to carry apples to work or to school to eat with their lunches.
G. It is likely that you hear about “compare apples and oranges” 题型：未知 难度：其他题型

略考点
据考高分专家说，试题“（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据.....”主要考查你对 [听力 ]考点的理解。听力
听力题解题技巧：
1、听前预测：
（1）听前集中精力，全身放松，保持最佳的准备状态。
（2）认真阅读各个大题说明，以明确测试的内容、播读次数及答题方式。
（3）迅速阅读试卷上的文字信息，这些信息与录音材料有着密切的联系，可以提供录音所涉及的中心、时间、地点等。带着这些问题，积极主动地预测，可使自己处于主动地位，做到心中有数。
2、听中要诀：
（1）高度重视听好开头的句子或段落，这往往是谈话的中心。
（2）要注意整听。听的过程中，遇到个别词没听清（有可能是由于朗读技巧，如连读，弱读等造成的），这很正常，千万不要死死抓住不放，结果因小失大。要知道，几秒钟会读出几十个词语，而声音一旦消失，做题时肯定毫无依根据。正确的做法是毫不迟疑地跳过去，接着往下听，等录音放完后再凭记忆或依据上下文猜测。
（3）要留意重音。连贯的句子中，信息词（名词、动词、形容词等）在读的时候往往重读，精力放在这些词上便于把握重点。其实，想把每个词都听清楚是不可能的，也没必要。如下面对话时，只要听清加“′”的词即可。
M：′Where are the boys?
W：The boys went to the′concert.
M：Went to′what?
W：A′concert—they went to a′concert.
（4）适当记些笔记。一边听录音，一边随手记些笔记，特别是其中的数字，如日期、时间、年龄、距离或地点，最好记下来，增大回答问题的准确性。但要注意原则，笔记不能影响听音的继续，也不能繁琐凌乱。可用代号、图形或自己明了的其他方式进行记录，脑笔结合记忆。
3、听后补救：
如果某一题没有听懂原文，无法判断正确答案，一不要着急慌张，而不要放弃不答。要根据大脑当时对该部分的声音印象，结合全文，结合题目文字材料，大胆猜测。例如你当时好像听到含有[ɑī]的某个词，这时你就可以想想my，high，fly，sight，five等词的词义，词类是否符合原文语境。总之，三选一意味着你随便猜，也有33%的机率，岂能轻易放过？
听力题注意事项：
1、集中精力，放松精神。
学生在参加听力测试时要充满信心，稳定情绪，沉着应对，切勿情绪不稳，心神不定，因为它不同于笔试答卷。
2、超前阅读，去同存异。
利用答题前的时间和放录音时各小题短暂停顿，可快速浏览所提供选项，注意它们之间的不同之处。
3、静心倾听，快速选择。
学生在阅读选项时一听见播放下一题听力材料，须停止阅读，静心倾听录音，立刻进行选择。如果一时选不出，可以根据录音的大概意思，合理推测，注意千万不要为了一个难题而耽误后面的试题。
4、记录要点，有备无患。
听对话和短文时最好边听边记，用自己平时最熟悉的标记与符号，简单记录一下重要的信息。这样做有助于听力材料播放完毕后逐个小题的去解答，而且有助于回顾形式完整的对话或短文梗概，以备核对复查。
