单选题
Questions 19 to 22 are based on the conversation you have just heard.
【正确答案】 A
【答案解析】[听力原文] 19-22 W: Excuse me, would you mind answering a few questions? M: Well, I don't know. I am in rather a hurry actually. W: It won't take a moment. We're doing a public opinion poll on some important political questions to try to find out if the Government really has support for its policies. The results are going to be published in a national newspaper. M: Oh, all right, then. W: Thanks. Well, I'll read out statements and you have to say whether you agree strongly, agree, disagree, disagree strongly or just don't know. OK? M: Yes. W: Well, first of all, "Policemen should always carry guns. " Do you agree? M: No, not always. W: What is your opinion? M: They shouldn't do that when they're on normal duty. But if they're chasing a criminal who they know has got a gun, then they should be armed as well. W: OK, next question. "Britain should drive on the right-hand side of the road. " M: What rubbish! Why doesn't everybody else drive on the left? W: All right. One more question: "Britain should leave the EEC. " M: That's nasty. I wasn't in favor of us joining, but I think it would be difficult to leave now. I think we'll just have to stay in and make the best of it. W: OK, that's all. Thank you very much. 19. What is the possible relationship between the two speakers? [解析] 问话者提问前先用了。Excuse me,而答话人又说自己in rather a hurry actually,说明二者是在街上碰到的陌生人,从后面所问的题目内容看,他们只可能是调查员和路人的关系。
【正确答案】 C
【答案解析】[听力原文] When does the man think the policemen should carry guns? [解析] 答话人认为只有警察确认追捕的罪犯携枪时,他们才能带枪。定语从句(a criminal) they know has got a gun中,意义重点在got a gun,即armed。
【正确答案】 C
【答案解析】[听力原文] How does the man look at driving on the right? [解析] “What rubbish!”表达的感情色彩非常明确,可以判断出答话人对改变驾驶方向的强烈否定态度。
【正确答案】 B
【答案解析】[听力原文] What's the man's attitude towards the last statement? [解析] 最后一个问题是:“英国应该退出欧共体。”答话人对这个问题的态度比较复杂。首先,他认为当初就不 该加入。但是现在想退出不容易,不如留下来,最大限度地发挥这个组织的作用,make the best of sth.是固定搭配,意为“最大限度地利用”。要注意,have to和necessary的含义不同,leave和live是两个词,不要误选C项和D项。
