【正确答案】 B
【答案解析】[听力原文] 19-22 M: And now, Mrs. Smith, can you tell us what happened at your apartment when the earthquake ended? W: Oh, it was terrible. I'll never forget it. Well, Jackand I always get up at about a quarter to five. He has to work early. You see, while I was in the kitchen preparing breakfast, the quake came. There was this horrible sound and the floor was just bouncing and rolling like wave, all at the same time. M: Then what did you do? W: Well, we figure out it was an earthquake. Then I crawled under the table, and I shouted at Jack to come. But he just stood there. M: Whoa! W: It lasted 24 seconds, and then it stopped. And Jack and I could hear people talking outside, so we tried to go out to the front door, but it was jammed shut. And then the first aftershock hit. M: That's incredible. Then what did you guys do? W: Well, I remember that someone shouted, "Get out of there, quickly!" Jack said: "We'll go out of the window." But I called out: "It's too high up," because we were living on the second floor. "Not any more," Jack shouted back. So, we looked out of the window and, sure enough, we were down on the ground! M: Your second floor apartment was on the ground? W: We couldn't believe it. We opened the window and crawled out. Once we were down safely, we turned around and looked back at our apartment building. The whole first was gone -- it was just totally flattened. M: Mrs. Smith, do you mean that the whole first floor was gone? W: Yes, the first floor was gone. M: And what about your apartment? W: The apartment, can you believe it, had moved and stood there. M: Incredible, Mrs. Smith, absolutely incredible. 19. At what time does the woman get up every morning? [听前预测] 预览四道题各选项,结合apartment, flattened, earthquake, collapsed等可推知,对话可能与地震有关,涉及到房子的情况。 [解析] 根据对话中提到的Jack and I always get up at about a quarter to five可知,女士每天早上4:45起床,故答案为[B]。 [点睛] 设有时间题的对话一般包含两个以上的时间,大多数情况下需要对时间进行简单的计算。
【正确答案】 B
【答案解析】[听力原文] What was Jack's first reaction after the earthquake came? [解析] 由对话中提到的But he just stood there可推测,Jack的第一反应是站着不动,故答案为[B]。 [点睛] 问题中的Jack's first reaction是听音关键。But转折处为常考点,其后的句子通常为答案所在。
【正确答案】 C
【答案解析】[听力原文] Why did the woman and her husband get down on the ground directly after crawling out of the window? [解析] 根据对话中提到的Once we were down safely…The whole first was gone—it was just totally flattened可知,整个第一层楼全部坍塌并被夷为平地了,所以他们直接从窗户爬到了地面,故答案为[C]。 [点睛] 问题中的crawling out of the window是听音关键,意为“从窗户中爬出来”。[C]的内容是对The whole first was gone—it was just totally flattened的同义转述。
【正确答案】 D
【答案解析】[听力原文] What was the woman's apartment like after the earthquake? [解析] [B]和[D]的意思相矛盾,根据命题规律,其中之一很可能是答案。由对话中提到的had moved and stood there可知,答案为[D]。 [点睛] 问题对应对话中提到的And what about your apartment? [D]的内容是对had moved and stood there的同义转述。
