6、g for the new airport began in 1989. At the time, it became clear that 23 the newly-reunified Berlin would need a modern airport with far greater capacity than its existing airports. The city broke ground on the new airport in 2006. The first major sign of problems came in summer 2010, when the cons
7、truction corporation pushed the opening from October 2011 to June 2012.

8、other major problems subsequently emerged.

12、drain on city and state resources.22. What does the speaker say about the dream airport in Berlin?【试题答案】D【试题解析】题目问说话者如何评价柏林的梦想机场？说话者提到该机场成了德国人的笑话，因此D选项“这在德国人中成了一个笑话”与录音原文表述一致。A选项“它现在是欧洲最大最繁忙的机场”录音中并没有信息提及，并且这个机场尚未竣工，所以A选项可排除；B选项“它是德国历史上管理最差的机场”利用录音中perpetual mismanagement设干扰，录音只是提到机场长期管理不善，但无法知道是不是德
13、国历史上最差的，因此排除B选项；C选项“它已经成为德国效率的典型象征”，录音提到德国因为效率而闻名，但现在这个机场错漏百出，竣工日期一拖再拖，因此C选项明显错误。23. Why was there a need for a new airport in Berlin?【试题答案】D【试题解析】题目问为何柏林需要一个新机场？录音提到，重新统一后的柏林需要一个比现有机场容量大得多的现代机场，说明现有机场的容量对重新统一后的柏林来说是不够的，无法匹配新时期的需求，也就是说“这个城市的机场已经过时”，因此D选项正确。A选项“这个城市想吸引更多游客”和B选项“这个城市想要发展经济”在录音中均未提及；C选
14、项“这个城市刚刚重新统一”是对录音中newly-reunified的断章取义，“重新统一”只是当时的时代背景，表明进入了一个新的时期，但并非计划兴建新机场的原因。24. Why did Berlin postpone the opening of its dream airport again and again?【试题答案】A【试题解析】题目问为什么柏林一再推迟其梦想机场的开放？录音提到，发现问题第一次推迟之后，又发现消防安全系统存在重大问题，接着再推迟，随后又出现了许多其他的主要问题，拖延的时间越长，检查发现的问题就越多。因此A选项“各种各样的问题不断涌现”正确。B选项“资金短缺延误了工程
15、建设”和C选项“建筑公司违反了合同”在录音中没有信息提及；D选项“市政府不断更换”利用录音中的changed hands设干扰，更换的是规划公司的领导层，并不是市政府，因此D选项不正确。25. What happens while the airport remains unused?【试题答案】B【试题解析】题目问机场闲置时会发生什么？录音提到，闲置的机场造成了巨大的成本，因此B选项“巨大的维护成本会积累起来”正确。A选项“当地居民的抱怨增加”，录音中只是提到居民对于机场的态度是frustration“沮丧”，并没有提到居民的抱怨在增加，因此排除A选项。C选项“所有设备都生锈”和D选项“柏林的旅游业受到影响”在录音中均没有信息提及。2. 单选题The acoustics in this meeting room are not very good, so if you wish to be heard clearly, you must remember to speak out.问题1选项A.areB.soC.wish to be heardD.speak outE.没有错误【答案】D【解析】固定搭配。Speak out 改为speak up。D处句意应为“大声说”, 而speak out表示“公开说出”。3. 单选题
