【答案解析】[听力原文]
Hetty Green was a very spoilt, only child. She was born in Massachusetts, USA, in 1835. Her father was a millionaire businessman. Her mother was often ill, and so from the age of two her father took her with him to work and taught her about stocks and shares.
At the age of six she started reading the daily financial newspapers and opened her own bank account.
Her father died when she was 21 and she inherited $7.5 million.
She went to New York and invested on Wall Street. Hetty saved every penny, eating in the cheapest restaurants for 15 cents.
She became one of the richest and most hated women in the world.
At 33 she married Edward Green, a multi-millionaire, and had two children, Ned and Sylvia.
Hetty"s meanness was well known.
She always argued about prices in shops. She walked to the local grocery store to buy broken biscuits which were much cheaper, and to get a free bone for her much loved dog. Once she lost a two-cent stamp and spent the night looking for it. She never bought clothes and always wore the same long, ragged black skirt. Worst of all, when her son Ned fell and injured his knee, she refused to pay for a doctor and spent hours looking for free medical help. In the end Ned lost his leg.
When she died in 1916 she left her children $100 million.
Her daughter built a hospital with her money.
What do we learn about Hetty Green as a child?
[解析] 录音提到Hetty Green从6岁开始就阅读财经日报，并开发了个人银行账户 B“她对财经产生了浓厚的兴趣”是对该信息的概括，故为答案。录音开头介绍过Hetty Green的母亲身体不好，但没说她照顾母亲，因此A“她体贴地照看生病的母亲”不对。录音说的是Hetty Green从小开始看财经报纸，而非C“她学着为财经报纸写稿”。在华尔街投资是Hetty Green在21岁以后做的事情，题目问她小时候的情况，故应排除D“她在华尔街投资股票和证券”
