第4题：
Many people protested in the past six months.
Many people threw tomatoes at the German Chancellor.
Many people threw eggs at an important member of the German Chancellor’s Social Democrats.
Many people threw eggs at the German Chancellor, but he was not hit.
事实细节的找寻和判断。根据录音结尾提到的“Tens of thousands have joined protests in the last six weeks…”，可知，这次抗议持续了六周，而非选项A中的six months。另外，录音中提到“The mushy remains of a tomato thrown at a prominent member of Chancellor Gerhard Schroeder’s Social Democrats”，可知抗议过程中有人朝Gerhard Schroeder总理领导的社会民主党中一位重要人物投掷番茄，由此可见，B项和C项的说法均有误。再者，录音最后的“Schroeder himself has been pelted with eggs, none of which hit their mark”，表明人们朝德国总理Schroeder扔过鸡蛋，但未击中，可见，选项D与录音原文内容相符。
【录音原文】
The mushy remains of a tomato thrown at a prominent member of Chancellor Gerhard Schroeder’s Social Democrats has posed a legal dilemma for authorities trying to assess how to punish the thrower. Police investigating the fruit, thrown by an unemployed protestor at the premier of the state of Brandenburg, said they have concluded it was a yellow tomato. Had it been a soft red one, the man would have faced a lesser charge of causing malicious damage. A harder, green tomato could carry the tougher charge of bodily harm. A yellow one is somewhere in between. “In these types of cases it has to do with the consistency of the fruit,” said a spokeswoman for the court in the eastern city of Cottbus. No decision on the charge has yet been reached. Social democratic politicians have been facing the wrath of the public in recent months, especially in the economically depressed east where many people face painful jobless benefit cuts from January 2005. Tens of thousands have joined protests in the last six weeks and Schroeder himself has been pelted with eggs, none of which hit their mark.

D. There still exists prejudice against the disabled which results mainly from ignorance.
44．答案为D。用排除法，选项D与第四段第四句prejudice can be even harder to break down and ignorance inevitably represents by far the greatest barrier of all不符。选项A在第二段第一句提到；选项B在最后一段最后一句提到；选项C在第三段第三句提到。

第9题：

Carbon-based.
Crystal-based.
Silicon-based.
录音中提到carbon-based solar cells（碳基太阳能电池）的价格只是silicon-based versions的十分之一，而生产hybrid nanorod polymer composite就像生产廉价的层压塑料一样，可见silicon-based photovoltaic material比较昂贵，因此选D。
第10题：
The current deal is scheduled to be completed within half a year.
What Toshiba buys is a nuclear power supplier.
The purchased corporation is headquartered in Pennsylvania.
New nuclear plants are likely to be built in India by Toshiba.
事实细节的找寻和判断。录音首句便指出东芝公司正在购买nuclear plant builder Westinghouse Electric，可知其购买的是核电站建造公司Westinghouse Electric，而非选项B所提到的a nuclear power supplier（核能供应商）。因此选B。
【录音原文】
Japanese electronics maker Toshiba said Monday that it was buying nuclear plant builder Westinghouse Electric, the US-based unit of the British government’s British Nuclear Fuels, for US $5.4 billion.
Toshiba Chief Executive Atsutoshi Nishida said that while the price might seem quite high, Toshiba had a lot of competition for the company and that the future growth and profit potential of the business made it the correct price.
“By 2020 the market for nuclear power generation is expected to grow 50 percent compared to 2005,” Nishida said at a London news conference. “Toshiba is responding to this challenge by acquiring Westinghouse.”
Upon completion of the acquisition, Toshiba expects its nuclear power business to expand to three times the current level by 2015 as a result of operational and technological synergies, Toshiba said in a statement.
Toshiba expects to close the deal within six months and is not expecting regulatory troubles, Nishida said. Westinghouse will keep its headquarters in Pennsylvania, as well as its equipment, employees and trademarks, he said.
Toshiba, which makes electronic goods including DVD players, semiconductors, electric motors and power systems, is preparing for an expected surge of new investment in power plants in China, India and the US.
Westinghouse, which has built most of the nuclear reactors in the United States, is likely to design the plant and service them when they come online.
