【参考答案及解析】
1.False 理解推断题。录音中提到“When Henry turnedtwenty-one，he waslegally allowed to vote, but in Davidson County in l941，blacks could notvote.”，意思是：当亨利满 21 岁时，从法律上他有权参加选举。但是 1941年在戴维逊郡，黑人还是不能参加选举。题干所表述的内容不符合原文意思，
根据原文不能推断出 l941 年在美国黑人没有选举权。
2.False 细节信息题。录音中提到“One night，after he had turned twenty-one，Henry put his father and five otherpeople in his father’s Model A Ford and drove to the house of the votingregistrar.”，意思是：在他满 21 岁后，一天晚上，亨利开着父亲的福特 A 型车，载着父亲和其它五个人，驱车来到了选举登记员的家里。理解 thehouse of the voting registrar 是本题的解题关键，意思是“选举登记员的家中”。题干中描述的是亨利驾车到了法院参与选举与此不符。
3.True 理解推断题。录音中提到“The registrar wasprepared for this. Hesaid the literacy regulation required that Henry be ableto read the Constitution of the United States….Henry picked it up and read it.Theregistrar looked at Henry and realized he had no choice.”，意思是：登记员对此早就作了准备，他说读写能力规则要求亨利必须能读懂美国的宪法……亨利拿起就读。登记员看着亨利，意识到他已别无选择。由此可以推断出登记员本来是决定不把黑人的名字加入选举名单的，但亨利符合条件，所以他也没有办法。题干使用的时态是过去完成时，表示过去的打算，因此是正确的。
4.True 虚拟语气题。录音中提到“He said the literacyregulation required that Henry be able to read the Constitution of theUnited States.”，意思是：他(登记员)说读写能力规则要求亨利必须能够读懂美国的宪法。本句中是虚拟语气，省略了情态动词 should，表示应具有的能力，因此题干的表达是正确的。
5.True 理解推断题。录音中多处提到了这样的信息，如“I believeyou ought to register these folks. They’re able to read. Not all of your folkscoming in here can read.”， 意思是：我认为你应该为这些人注册登记，他们都能够阅读。并不是所有到这儿来的白人都能够阅读。由此可以推断出，只有有读写能力的人才能取得选举权，题干的表达是正确的。
6.False 细节信息题。录音中提到“He was the firstblack to register inthe county.”，意思是：在这个郡，他是第一个注册登记选举权的黑人。原文并没有提到题干所描述的“亨利是这个郡第一个投票的黑人”，因此本题是错误的。
7.True 理解推断题。录音中提到“The second was hisfather，becauseHenry would not leave until his father’s name，and the names of the five others，were put in the book.”，意思是：第二个是他的父亲，因为只有他父亲的名字和其他五个人的名字被登记在册后，他才会离开。由此可以推断出，那一晚亨利的父亲和其他五个人也都注册了投票选举权，因此题干的表达是正确的。
8.False 理解推断题。录音中提到“…Henry brought morepeople to the courthouse，where he faced a different clerk who refused to register the people.Henry told him，‘Ibelieve you ought to register these folks.They’re able to read. Not all ofyour folks coming in here can read.’”，意思是：亨利带了更多的人到法院，他见到了一个不同的职员拒绝为这些人注册。亨利告诉他“我认为你应当为这些人注册登记，他们都能够阅读。并不是所有到这儿来的白人都可以阅读”。由此可以推断出，亨利带来的人是会阅读的，而且登记员是不能拒绝会读写能力的人进行登记的，因此题干的表达是错误的。
9.True 理解推断题。录音中提到“Not all of yourfolks coming in here can read.”，意思是：并不是所有到这儿来的白人都能够阅读。理解 your folks 是本题的解题关键，而且 your folks 指的就是和登记员他们一类的歧视黑人的人，也即是白人。由此可以推断出题干的表达是正确的。
10.False 理解推断题。录音中提到“Henry got the peopleregistered.”，意思是：亨利使这些人都登记注册了。这些人指的是亨利带去注册的人，而题干将原文的所指范围扩大到了整个郡的黑人，因此是错误的。

One night, after he had turned twenty-one, Henry put hisfather and five other people in his father’s Model A Ford and drove to thehouse of the voting registrar.

Theregistrar looked at Henry and realized he had no choice. He entered Henry’sname in the book. He was the first black to register in the county. The secondwas his father,

【解析】比较结构题。录音中提到“There is nothing I like better to get me started in the morningthan a big breakfast.”，此句中出现了 nothing better than 结构，这是个特殊比较结构，用的虽是比较级但表达最高级的含义，意为“没有比……更好的了”。此句的意思是：没有什么比一顿丰盛的早餐，更能让我有良好开端的。由此可以推断出他喜欢丰盛的早餐，因此答案为B。A 项意思是“他经常不吃早餐就开始工作”;C 项意思是“他早餐吃得不多”;D 项意思是“比起丰盛的早餐，他早上更喜欢别的东西”。
【录音原文】

But I have no idea how I am going to simplify some of theconcepts for them.”，意思是：今天下午我要给一群高中生就工程学的内容做演讲。但是我不知道如何为他们简化一些概念。由此可知说话者还没有为演讲做好准备，因此答案为 D。A 项意思是“他对于工程学一无所知”;B 项意思是“他想要把演讲往后推迟”;C 项意思是“他以前从来没有给高中生做过讲演”。
