【正确答案】 C

【答案解析】[听力原文] Patricia Pania never wanted to be a public figure. All she wanted to be was a mother and home-maker. But her life was turned upside down when a motorist, distracted by his cell phone, ran a stop sign and crashed into the side of her car. The impact killed her 2-year-old daughter. Four months later, Pania reluctantly but courageously decided to try to educate the public and to fight for laws to ban drivers from using cell phones while a car is moving. She wanted to save other children from what happened to her daughter. In her first speech, Pania got off to a shaky start. She was visibly trembling and her voice was soft and uncertain. But as she got into her speech, a dramatic transformation took place. She stopped shaking and spoke with a strong voice. For the rest of her talk, she was a forceful and compelling speaker. She wanted everyone in the audience to know what she knew without having to learn it from a personal tragedy. Many in the audience were moved to tears and to action. In subsequent presentations, Pania gained reputation as a highly effective speaker. Her appearance on a talk show was broadcast three times, transmitting her message to over 40 million people. Her campaign increased public awareness of the problem, and prompted over 300 cities and several states to consider restrictions on cell phone use. What was the significant change in Patricia Pania's life? [解析] B项和C项中的became说明此题考查女士的某种转变，所以听音时要注意表示“转变”的相关表达。文章开始部分提到女士从不想成为一个public figure到不得不成为一个public figure，而a mother and a homemaker只是女士想达到的理想状态，并非存在的事实，故答案为C。

【正确答案】 D

【答案解析】[听力原文] What had led to Pania's personal tragedy? [解析] 四个选项都可能是引起交通事故的原因。所以听音时要注意有关交通事故的描述。要抓住问题中的关键词led to。文中提到a motorist，distracted by his cell phone...The impact killed her 2-year-old daughter这正是交通事故发生的过程描述，而这起事故的原因可归结为distracted，即D项中的failure to concentrate，故答案为D。

【正确答案】 A

【答案解析】[听力原文] How did Pania feel when she began her first speech? [解析] 从四个选项中的形容词可知此题考查的是某人的心理感受，听音时要注意此类形容词的使用。问题中的信息提示词是first speech，文中的相关描述是In her first speech...She was visibly trembling and her voice was soft and uncertain. 由此可推断出she was nervous and unsure of herself，故答案为A。

【正确答案】 B

【答案解析】[听力原文] What could be expected as a result of Pania's efforts? [解析] 四个选项都与提高或改善交通状况有关，而且是具体的一项措施，听音时要找出这项措施。文中末尾说Her campaign...prompted over 300 cities and several states to consider restrictions on cell phone use.由此可见Pania的努力有望使政府出台相关措施，限制驾车行驶时打手机的行为，故答案为B。
