【正确答案】 A
【答案解析】[听力原文] M: Good morning. This is Allen Pierce broadcasting from university radio. In the local news this morning, the mountain-lake cycle tour is about to begin. And in the studio, we have with us Marilyn O'Connor, president of the Ottawa Bicycle Club, the tour's sponsor. Marilyn, can you tell us what this tour's all about? W: Well, the mountain-lake cycle tour is a two-day bicycle tour from Ottawa to Kingston and back. It is not a race, but more like an endurance test for recreational cyclists. People do it for fitness and fun and try to better their time every year. M: How long does it take to cycle one-way, Marilyn? W: About seven to nine hours for the average cyclists. Racers can do it in four hours. But as I said, the tour is not intended to be a race. M: How many people will be taking part this year? W: This is our biggest year ever. We have twelve hundred cyclists registered. M: I hate to be on the road when the cyclists start out. W: Don't worry, we've introduced the stagger starts to avoid these problems. Our first group will leave Ottawa at seven o'clock, and other groups will follow every twenty minutes. M: Thank you, Marilyn. Now down to the starting line at the university... Where does this interview take place? 在对话开头处男士就提到“我是艾伦·皮尔斯,正在大学的广播电台为大家播音。”后面他也说道in the studio,we have...。可见,采访发生的地点是电台播音室。故答案为A。

【正确答案】 B
【答案解析】[听力原文] In what order will the cyclists leave the starting line? 在对话中主持人说道:“当自行车手们出发时,我可不想自己正好在路上”,也就是说大批一起出发的自行车会给普通人的交通带来不便,对此玛丽莲说道:“不用担心,我们引进了‘交错出发(stagger starts)’的办法来避免这一问题,第一组会在7点钟离开渥太华,随后每20分钟出发一组。”可见答案应为B,即“按照固定的时间间隔分组出发”。
